Forest Ecology and Conservation: A Handbook of Techniques
OUP Oxford, May 17, 2007 - Gardening - 454 pages
Forest conservation has become one of the most important environmental issues currently facing humanity, as a result of widespread deforestation and forest degradation. Pressures on remaining natural forests continue to intensify, leading to high rates of biodiversity loss. Understanding how human activities influence ecological processes within forests is essential for developing effective conservation action. This book describes research methods and techniques relevant to understanding forest ecology, with a particular focus on those that are relevant to practical conservation and sustainable forest management. This information is currently disparate and difficult to locate and, as with other books in this series, the intention is to provide a comprehensive synthesis for use by graduate students, researchers and practising conservationists. Methods are presented for assessing forest extent and condition, structure and composition, and forest dynamics at a variety of scales. Techniques for assessing genetic variation and reproductive ecology, and for evaluating the habitat value of forests are also described. Particular emphasis is given to state-of-the-art techniques such as remote sensing, GIS, computer modelling and molecular markers. However, traditional methods of forest mensuration and ecological survey are also presented. The methods and techniques described are generally applicable to all forest types, including both temperate and tropical forest ecosystems.

Coin Handling
If your coins are still in circulation, they probably aren't extremely valuable, but that doesn't mean you can handle them just any old way. You do, however, have to take special precautions in coin handling.
In general, collectible coins should be handled carefully to avoid the possibility of causing wear or introducing substances that may lead to spots or color changes. Many holders will provide adequate protection for ordinary handling. Before removing a coin from its holder, consider whether it's really necessary.
Never touch an un-circulated or Proof coin anywhere but the edge. Fingerprints alone may reduce the coin's grade and consequently its value. Handling on the edge only is mandatory when examining another person's coins, regardless of grade. Get in the habit of picking up collectible coins by their edges, and it will soon become routine.
Avoid holding numismatic items in front of your mouth. Small particles of moisture may eventually cause spots.
When setting a coin down outside of a holder is necessary, place it on a clean, soft surface. A velvet pad is an ideal surface and essential for regular handling of valuable material. A clean soft cloth or clean piece of blank paper may be sufficient for less valuable items. Do not drag coins across any surfaces.
If you will be handling very valuable coins or lots of uncirculated and/or higher grade circulated coins, wearing clean white cloth or surgical gloves and a mask may be advisable.

Fresh off the heels of being one of our 10 best dressed ever at the SAG Awards, Amy Adams is now up eligible for an equally exciting honor—an Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role (all right, maybe she's a little more excited about the latter).
The multitalented actress, who won the same award in 2005 for her performance in Junebug, is always one of our favorites on the red carpet, so naturally we can't wait to see what she wears Sunday.
If history serves as any indication, we're thinking she might go with a Marchesa, but we won't know for sure until she steps out on the carpet on Oscar night.
In the meantime, we've compiled our top ten favorite ensembles that Amy has ever worn on the red carpet!

Arrival of Daylight Savings Time totally doesn't help alter this toddler's New Yorker lifestyle. Taiyo now easily sleeps past 11am. Some mothers may envy that, but that means he's up past midnight! It gives me less of my personal time. On Sunday we attended "Shorts for Tots" program at New York International Children's Film Festival. The theater was full of bubbly tots, sometimes screaming and crying. Taiyo sat so quietly on my lap through the film. The night before, he sat through "Princess Mononoke," animated Hayao Miyazaki feature, which is two hours and fifteen minutes. It wasn't even a kids' movie either. The story was quite complex and deep, but he refused to stop, even during the end credit. So this beautiful and quirky mix of short films was easy to digest for him. We saw some wonderful films that we may never see otherwise.
After the movie Lynne brought us to a hidden gem in NoLita, Prince Street Cafe. It looks like a tiny place with a few tables from the street, and with a big step up from the street level, I would've never gone there with Taiyo and a stroller. But the floor actually extends to the back of the building, a quiet bright room with skylight. Nice selection of salads, sandwiches, burgers and pasta would be easy to accommodate anyone. Our choice was Butternut Squash Soup and Prosciutto Panini. First Taiyo went right to a Blueberry Muffin. Then soup arrived and first taste made him laugh. Then he had at least the half of Panini. Eventually the group at the next table left and Taiyo had the whole length of cushy bench to walk back and forth! I was getting a bit nervous after he took maybe five trips, but waitress only smiled at the sight. In some other restaurant he may be advised to sit down. It was very nice place to eat with a little person. Recommended.
It was another summer-like day on Wednesday, and we stopped at 'inoteca on Rivington and Ludlow. This hipster joint had all the side panels open, and it was fairy empty for late lunch. They are usually crowded for dinner or weekend brunch, but this seemed a perfect timing for us. We went to the bathroom to wash hands but it was so dark Taiyo was not happy. I was not happy not being able to see how sanitary the environment was. Back to the table, we were thinking of pasta, but they didn't have any. So we went for beets salad with pecorino, oranges, and hazelnuts, and prosciutto and mozzarella panini. Immediately Taiyo knew he loved the panini when it arrived. I cut him a piece, and he carefully dipped it into tomato sauce, and started munching. I kept cutting him a piece off the Panini and he pretty much ate the whole plate. He tried some hazelnuts from the salad, and he liked them, but Panini was the winner; he didn't even care for oranges on the salad. Service was quick and friendly, and Taiyo got a glass of water with a straw. Food was wonderful and fresh, we loved the laid back atmosphere of Wednesday afternoon, but probably best for weekday lunch with a small one. Recommended, especially for the food.

Not physically, at least--though no one could blame you for checking the newswires to make sure. Over the past six weeks, the 39-year-old rocker/actress' characteristically high level of drama has rocketed off the charts, requiring the successive intervention of the LAPD (who arrested her on suspicion of burglary on October 2 before charging her with two counts of felony drug possession), some Century City paramedics (who rescued her from an OxyContin overdose hours after she posted bail for the aforementioned arrest), the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (who removed Love's 11-year-old daughter, Frances Bean, from her custody on October 10), and California welfare authorities (who ordered her involuntary hospitalization at Pasadena's Las Encinas hospital following Frances' removal and Love's repeated "jokes" about her suicidal urges).
Witnessing Love's brazen downward spiral, no one could be blamed for bracing for the worst. "Can I write the Courtney obit?" asked Stranger writer Hannah Levin sometime between Love's involuntary hospitalization and her drug-charge arraignment. (On November 12, Love pleaded not guilty to both charges of felony drug possession.) The question wasn't crass--"preparedness reports" (ready-to-go obituaries for notables nearing death) are a common component of contemporary media--and Hannah wasn't the only one to ask about one. But what's the fun of devoting a bunch of time, thought, and print space to commemorating someone's life and art if you're left waiting for them to either self-destruct or resiliently stagger on?
Well, we're not waiting for someone as heroically tenacious as Courtney Love to drop dead before we let you read Hannah Levin's passionate elegy for her fallen idol, Jennifer Maerz's predictions for Courtney's pop-culture successors, or Neal Pollack's firsthand (entirely fictional) account of his fights with the mighty Ms. Love. Nor will we hold Charles Mudede's portrait of the artist as a repeat offender in his special, all-Courtney Love edition of Police Beat, Tamara Paris' memories of channeling her inner Courtney, or Ellen Forney's illustrated overview of Loves We Have Known (back on page 111).
The sad fact is that Courtney Love may be dead by the time you read this. She may be alive when you start reading a piece and dead when you finish it. Or she could carry on for decades, stumbling toward her ultimate goal of transforming completely into Blanche DuBois (Love's recent complaints that her criminal trial dates conflicted with her plans to attend the Academy Awards suggest she's closer than we ever feared).
No matter how the remains of Courtney Love spend the balance of their time on earth, there's no denying that the Courtney who inspired and inflamed a generation as the mouthy, whip-smart little-engine-that-could is dead and gone, leaving only a sputtering, scorched-earth shell, for which we're morbidly happy to provide this eulogy.
RIP, Courtney. You will never be forgotten. --David Schmader

On the occasion of the Wedding of Prince Georg Friedrich of Prussia and Princess Sophie of Isenbrug i made some vacation in Potsdam and later also Berlin. I arrived there on Wednesday a few ddays before the Wedding. After the arrival i meet with some Anuschka and Sofia who had also arrived on this morning. We visited as first the Friedenskirche the location for the upcoming Wedding as this was the first days it was open to the public. As we had seen allof it we walked back and at the Luisenplatz we spotted the bridal Coupletalking to some other people. We waited until they where ready then we asked if we could take a pic of them.
We later continued with sightseeing on this dayand visited first Cecilienhof Castle where Crown prince Wilhelm and Crown Princess Cecilie with their family lived until 1945. Afterwards we went to the Marblepalace.
One the next day we and 2 other friends wo had arrived later on Wedneday contnued with sightseeing. In the morning we walked pas the Church again where preparations for the Wedding where in full forche with flowers delivered and technical equpment beeing installed for the Live-Broadcast. After we where joined by 2 more friends we visited among others the Neue Kammern where the reception after the Wedding Service ws to take plac and the Orangerie the site for the Gala-Dinner in the eveing. After we had vistied Sanssoucci Castle we walked across the street behind it. suddenly a car stopped for ashortmoment and 2 eople waved out and Said "Hello how are you" and then drove away. We only then realized that it had been the bridal Couple.
On thext day Friday we all together drove in the morning to Berlin where we visited Charlottenburg Castle and it's Gardens. After having somerest we made our Way to the Gendarmenmarkt to secure the best places there. Ast there wasno official Press-Accredition for this Event we could stand in the first row just a few metres opposde the stairs leading to the Concerthouse. There annual Benefit Concert for the "Princess Kira of Prussia foundation" tookplace. This Event takes usually place every Septemberg at Hohenzollern Castle. But in this year it was decided that on the occasion of the WEdding this should tkae place as a pre-Wedding Event in Berlin.The first guests arrived at around 18h00 local time. On of the first to arrive was the bridal Couple who posed on the staris for the gathered Press Short later Sophie's parents Fürst Franz Alexander and Fürstin Christine arrived together with their younger son Prince Victor. Most of the around 1000 guests arrived with busses and had to walk to the Concert Hall.

Is there anything you've learned about the creative process that's surprised you?
I'm impressed to see that if you work really hard at something, it does eventually pay off. And nothing in my life has proven that to me as much as the creative process. Sometimes you do have to work at it; it doesn't always just flow out of you like lava. Sometimes you really do have to sit and [say], "How am I going to make this work? What can I do?" And really go deep within yourself or at least concentrate to such a degree that it gets tiring, you know? So I'm kind of amazed that the process works and that it's still working.
Have you gotten any advice about creativity that particularly stands out?
No — strangely it's not something that I think artists sit around and discuss, although perhaps they should. It's more to me just the doing of it. In King Crimson, for example, every time we approach a new record, we set up a lot of obstacles to challenge ourselves with. For example, we will say, "Okay, we're only going to use these few things. Out of all the things we can use, out of all the time signatures or all the chord changes or all the tones or whatever you have on your palette, these are the things we're gonna use. We're gonna take this box of twenty-four Crayons, empty it out, and only use these six." I think, sometimes, challenging ourselves all the time, that's what it's all about.
I learned that technique by reading about the way that Stravinsky wrote. That was just a bit of information that somehow stuck with me — that you could do that — you could put parameters around what you're doing, and it would help focus your creativity.
Almost the entire opposite way of working has worked a lot for me as well. A lot of times I come in the studio and I just start on something — I have a sound and I just start playing something. And then I build from there. It's not preconceived. It's not all a target that I'm even shooting for. It's just free-form, and you create something out of it.
So between those two things — one's a very disciplined way and one is a kind of haphazard way — I think that's where most of my work exists. [laughs]
I'm impressed to see that if you work really hard at something, it does eventually pay off. And nothing in my life has proven that to me as much as the creative process.
With all the projects you've been working on, what are you most excited about?
Right now the trio that I have has touched a creative nerve, has done something amazing that I can't really explain. It's like it's reinvented my music for me — the trio being Eric Slick and Julie Slick. Eric is twenty. Julie is his sister; she's twenty-one. Eric plays drums; Julie plays bass. And it's just so incredible to have this newfound canvas, which is the three of us playing music together.
They are young, energetic, unjaded, and just completely ready to do anything, like eager little puppies wanting to do it all. And yet they're so adult in their abilities and the mechanics of their instruments and in their understanding of all music.
Because of their parents, they grew up in their living room surrounded by twenty-five guitars, a set of drums, and three thousand vinyl records. They live in Philadelphia; they still live with their parents. They don't even have driver's licenses yet.
Guitarist, singer, and songwriter Adrian Belew is a Grammy-nominated solo artist and a member of both King Crimson and the Bears. Belew's big break came in 1977 when he landed a job in Frank Zappa's band. Over the past thirty years, he's played on records as varied as David Bowie's Lodger, Paul Simon'sGraceland, the Talking Heads' Remain in Light, Herbie Hancocks' Magic Windows, Nine Inch Nails Downward Spiral, Laurie Anderson's Mister Heartbreak, and William Shatner's Has Been. To date, he's released more than fifteen solo projects, starting with 1982's Lone Rhino. His most recent CD is Side 4, a live recording of The Adrian Belew Power Trio, a new outfit featuring Julie and Eric Slick on bass and drums.
Belew is currently posting a play-by-play of his ongoing recording efforts mixed with memories from years gone by over at his highly recommended Elephant Blog.
Adrian Belew on the Web: Adrian Belew.net, Elephant Blog, Side Four
From age eleven on, Eric and Julie have been learning all the music that I grew up learning and everything beyond that. So they know the Beatles — and they shouldn't at age twenty, but they do — they know King Crimson and they know Zappa and they know all the stuff. The end result is suddenly I'm thrown into this wonderful fire with two young, brilliant players, and it's caused me to almost rethink what I do. I have to now take everything I've done and I can put it back into a new form — a trio form — with a younger, more aggressive kind of attitude.
What drove you to bring on players that age?
I was looking to form a trio and had tried two different lineups. The first lineup I tried, my thinking was, use someone locally, so we could woodshed here in Nashville where I live and I have a studio. And I tried some local players [but] that didn't work. So my second thought was, okay, I'll go to tried-and-true people that I've known for a long time — some older players, older friends of mine. And that worked a bit and was pretty good, but it wasn't perfect; it wasn't the right chemistry.
So I was still looking and thinking, "Well, I still really want to do a trio." I felt that that would help define my current writing as something different from the Bears or from King Crimson or from my past solo work. So it was important to me to get that kind of lineup.
At the same time, Paul Green brought me to his school [The Paul Green School of Rock Music] to be a guest professor for a week. And while I was there he said, "I just have to have you play with my favorite two students I've ever had, the Slicks." And so I did. I played just one song with them and I knew. I just knew, wow, there's something amazing here. It was almost like a chemistry that you couldn't manufacture and you just knew it. They were really wonderful kids, and the more I got to know them, the more I realized, oh, this could really be the trio that I've been looking for.
It didn't immediately work once we stepped out. I mean, every show has been good. But they've all gotten better. And this last round where we just played six shows on the East Coast was almost phenomenal. I couldn't believe it. Every night was just great. Every song sounded fantastic. The tour was happy. Everyone was in good spirits. The audiences were, I think, blown away. And so this is kind of a once-in-a-lifetime thing….
I'm still in the Bears and I'm still in King Crimson, so it doesn't eliminate those things. It just means that here's another thing that is more my own personal form. And I can really see what I can do with it and how I can take it further and further. So creatively that's very exciting. It's like you've found a new vein in the mine.
The strange thing about creativity in general and being musical and so on — it's entirely what keeps you young. And this is off the subject of anything you've asked but, to me, that's one of the best rewards about it. I feel like a twenty-five-year-old. You know, I'm fifty-seven years old; I don't feel that way at all. And when I went to my thirtieth class reunion, I looked like I should have been in a, you know, a different class. [laughs] Because all the people who turned out from my class, they look so much older than me now. And it's not just your looks; it's not that. It's more to do with your spirit. It keeps you so young, to do this for a living.
It's all work. Everything is work. No matter what you're doing there's some work involved in it. It's your livelihood. But I see so many people whose livelihood just burns them out, and the idea of my livelihood being something that really kind of energizes me all the time is — it's very fortunate. I think it's true and I think it's true of a lot of musical and creative people. It becomes like a bonus. Even if you're not as successful as someone else, you still get the bonus that it keeps you young.

Earlier this week, Bothell's Nastech Pharmaceutical hired an RNA interference veteran as its new CEO and confirmed it would shed its nasal delivery business in order to concentrate on its RNA interference programs.
I posted an interview on the blog with CEO J. Michael French, in which he said, "I believe that MDRNA (the company's new name) has all the assets and scientific smarts and intellectual property to be a significant player in the RNAi space."
Here are some other, dueling perspectives on MDRNA's plans.
The IN VIVO blog says:
MDRNA isn't the first company to revamp itself as an RNAi player during extremely tough times. On the brink of bankruptcy in February 2003, a small, $3 million-market-cap biotech focused on ribosome science was rescued by a handful of VCs with a $48 million recapitalization. Not even four years later that company–rechristened Sirna–was bought for $1.1 billion.
French, of course, once worked as a top executive at Sirna.
At Biotech Stock Research, though, David Miller isn't so hopeful. (Miller accurately predicted Nastech's strategic change back in March.)
On Minyanville today Miller says French's hiring:
… brings some instant credibility to the claims MDRNA has legitimate RNAi technology, but critics point to the fact that companies in the RNAi field live and die by patents and MDRNA seems to be a little short in that area. I'm not sure MDRNA needs to have core RNAi patents, however, as they appear to be focusing more on how to deliver RNAi drugs to patients. The issue of delivery is the #1 problem in the RNAi space. If MDRNA has a solution, they could see very significant value growth.
Of course, this is a story we've heard already from the company. Encapsulating drugs for easy delivery by nasal spray was the company's claim to fame – several product failures and two partnership failures ago. I would expect investors to be a little gun-shy this time around, waiting for major investments in MDRNA until the company proves its largely theoretical RNAi delivery system in human trials.
I'll reiterate my prediction from before – MDRNA's corporate presentations will be at least as much about the $1B buyout of Sirna and the recent $1B-plus deal RNAi deal between Japan's Takeda and Alnylam (ALNY) as it will about their own technology. Smart investors will realize there is a big gap between those deals – which involved patent-protected RNAi core technologies – and MDRNA, which is looking only at drug delivery.

An independent study is a self-designed project that allows you to explore in depth a topic touched upon in a DMin course or enables you to research in an area which is beyond the scope of the DMin curriculum. In addition, it provides an opportunity for you to further develop your doctoral project. And most Independent Studies are designed in a way to require a little to no travel.
Independent studies give students an opportunity to utilize other ministry resources such as the following:
Leadership Network HUB
It involves three gatherings over 12 months. With focus on topics from generosity to multisite strategy to succession planning, HUB has a wide variety of areas to meet your needs. Select a topic and then begin your HUB experience at any gathering in the cycle.
Since HUB gatherings for multiple topics happen concurrently, take advantage of shared resources and wider networking opportunities.
Fuller DMIN students, when they are accepted to a Leadership Network HUB, are able to earn DMIN credit for that experience.
D.Min. students may take a 4 unit Independent Study as part of their program.
Students wishing to take 8 units (2 courses) of an Independent Study requires the approval of the Assistant Director of the D.Min. program.

Let those who promote gay marriage and atheistic perspectives delight in the possible canceling of the reality show "Duck Dynasty." But this should be a private matter.
Please pardon my take on this, but gays may well be loved by Jesus, but it's difficult finding an example where He believes their desires align with the concept of procreation. Recreation, OK. Abomination, perhaps.
But to seek His affirmation for this anywhere in historical relevance is a huge stretch.
City's bid rules hinder local, small contractors
After reading the editorial "City contracting: A serious flaw" in the Dec. 17 paper, I have to voice my opinion once again.
The shoddy game played by contractors is a result of City of Savannah government. The qualified minority- and women-owned business participation within the city is very limited.
Bids are not opened until after M/WBE has been reviewed and the city's specified goals are met. Is that fair to a contractor who can self-perform 100 percent of a bid?
This is not a surprise to the M/WBE program enforcement committee. They are very much aware that this is a hindrance to all local small business contractors. Now, who is unethical?
Beware 'mad hatters' who travel on I-95
To the mad hatter operator of the car, or cars, that race up I-95 in the left lane next to the right turning lane exiting onto Highway 21 and cutting into the right lane, is your time really more important than life?
Are you that ignorant to what you could cause?
Eighteen-wheelers travel in that lane at 65 miles an hour, plus and you are slowing down trying to cut in front of another car, even to the point of stopping in the left lane as did the driver on Dec. 17.
The driver of this car could have caused a major accident costing life and limb, and for what reason? Selfishness and a me-first-at-all-cost attitude.
Justice will catch up with you one day. I hope you don't cause any families to lose love ones. I am in the right lane daily and taking tag numbers of these violators, and if I see you in and accident, I will stop and give a detailed account of the drivers' activity.
My purpose in writing the letter is to call action to the poor driving by some and the dangers it poses.

Last year, I posted my 2010 DSB Year in Review. I just started working on the 2011 DSB Year in review yesterday so I'll be able to post it next week. At first, I was a little concerned because 2010 was such a big year for me and my blog, and I thought I wouldn't have anything worthwhile for 2011. But as I went through each month, I realized that is not true at all. Isn't it weird how all our memories of the year merge together? One of the reasons I've come to love blogging is because it lets me really dissect my year month by month, and I'm reminded of how many really great things have happened this year. But I'll get to all that next week.
I may have spent another unproductive weekend on the couch. Although in my defense I did get up to take Core Fusion Cardio on Saturday and Refine Method on Monday, and to continue my
Jewish family tradition of going to the movies and eating Chinese food on Christmas Day this past Sunday.
Something that bothered me during and after marathon training was that my jeans stopped fitting. I cut back on my strength workouts and ate less healthy meals, and once the race was over I of course wanted to get back to my normal. I got pretty close, even being able to wear the jeans once (though they were admittedly not as comfortable as last year). But then I got a cold and spent more time lazing, less time working out, and now I am back to not being able to get them on. It really is quite the vicious cycle, and even though I have a relatively small frame, I am not immune.
So now I get serious again. Right now, that means a mix of Refine Method, Core Fusion Cardio and Core Fusion Yoga. Also, Core Fusion Boot Camp (which I like to call Core Fusion Fusion), although it's not on the schedule often. I also have a month of Figure 4 at Pure Yoga to use at some point. Because of my hip injury, I still can't take regular Core Fusion. And honestly, I don't know that I will ever be able to again. And I'm OK with that.
But I love the workouts I can do. And the thing about Refine is that Brynn Jinnett, the founder, constantly makes changes and tweaks the class based on what she sees working and what she learns and researches about exercise (sometimes she writes about it on the Refine blog). Because of that, the class has gone through a number of changes since I started taking it last year, and they all make the workout that much better. I took a couple months off during training and when I came back things were more different than usual. And if it is possible, I love the workout even more. The most remarkable thing about my absence was coming back and seeing all the same people I normally see at Refine — but the change in the way they look is astounding. It is amazing how well this class works and it's also amazing how out of cardio shape I am in. I can run a marathon and feel great the entire time, but make me do an intense cardio burst at Refine and I feel like I'm going to pass out.

This goes to show how much I have to improve at Refine, and I think it will help with my running too because I'll get used to pushing myself harder. One of my goals for 2012 is to PR the half marathon distance, but I have a specific time in mind that I'm not ready to share yet. But I'm in no way ready because I never really worked very hard or did speed work.
The workout highlight of my week, however, will be Phish Yoga. I'm excited to have the day off from work and to take the class with Missy and Cameo. When I stopped writing for NBC New York, it was a huge relief not to have to take classes that I didn't want to or that I might not love when I could be at a class that I know I love, and that I know would be a great workout. But I still like to try the classes I actually want to try, and that includes most music-themed yoga and spinning classes. I love my Beatles Yoga and I have a feeling this class will really be something special. I haven't been so excited about a new class in a very long time. And the fact that it's a special workshop and not a regular class makes it that much more exciting.
The long-winded point I am trying to make: I want to devote 2012 to workouts I truly love and want to do. No more wasting efforts on workouts I don't care about — even if I might be missing something great.
I hope everyone had a really great holiday weekend and has a wonderful New Years!

Well I was going to say I am sad that you can't do Core Fusion anymore but it sounds like you have so much you can do that you'll be fine without it! I actually can not do Core Fusion Cardio anymore (if I want to run) which kind of sucks. I miss my punches!
Happy New Year!
I can't do Core Fusion, either! It sucks – but I'm making yoga a goal for 2012 instead. I love your "resolution" or whatever you want to call it; just do whatever workouts you love and you will probably get that much more out of them! It was fun to read your NBC posts, and I'm sure it was a fun experience, but now you can do what you want to do.
Hannah´s last blog post ..Musings On: New Year's Resolutions, 2011
I am excited to try phish yoga but nervous because I have not done yoga since I left Exhale! I might not even be able to touch my toes! I, like you, LOVE Refine. And, not to be a turn-coat, but Core Fusion looks pretty silly next to Refine. I was doing it daily and saw almost NO results and then in one month of Refine was completely transformed. Seriously. But, I do love Core Fusion Cardio and need to revisit that class again one day…
Cameo´s last blog post ..DO's and DONT's for your Holiday Party
I'm also hoping to PR in the half-marathon this year! (and am not ready to disclose my time either, I get nervous about it, haha). I'm excited to try Core Fusion, I bought a package of classes from RueLaLa and am hoping to start in the next couple weeks.
Kara´s last blog post ..Seven on Sunday Holiday Edition
I miss CF Cardio! Although I'm not sure it's good for my IT band. But I don't see any Core Fusion in my future. Every time I read your blog it reminds me I have to cross the park and get to a Refine class. Can Brynn open an UWS studio any time soon???
fiona´s last blog post ..New Running Shoes and My Best Running Buddy!
I am looking forward to the 2011 review! I am positive you will achieve a half marathon PR, you are a great runner–and like you said, you've never even done speedwork. I am still thinking of my workout goals for 2012, better nail those down soon.
melissa (fitnessnyc)´s last blog post ..Lots of Reasons to Run
I am with you on wanting to only do workouts that you love. There are lots of classes and fitness styles that are popular but I just don't enjoy them even though I have tried. I am all about making the most out of a workout and I try my hardest when I actually enjoy what I am doing!!
Samantha @ Health, Happiness & Skinny Jeans´s last blog post ..Work Out Wednesday: 2012 Race Plans
I'm a little late lol but just wanted to say thank you for bringing me to Refine and yoga today! Phish yoga was so fun and Refine was amazing! I love the new changes and want to devote 2012 to 99% intenSati and Refine. Core Fusion did not work for me but I am quite sure Refine would! Let's fit into our jeans again!

Hi Chaals, The wording in Jim's email got changed significantly during yesterday's conference call. I believe the new wording is "By default, when the user changes viewport, content, or rendering size the point of regard remains at the same relative location within the visible portion of the viewport." We discussed the fact that there are at least three cases where the user agent may have to take action to keep the point of regard in essentially the same location within the visible portion of the viewport: (a) the viewport is resized; (b) the zoom/scaling on the viewport is changed; or (c) the formatting of some or all of the content changes (e.g. font or text size, causing content to change height and/or rewrap). I generally recommend the point of regard to be the (a) text cursor location, or (b) the active (most recently moved) end of the selection, or (c) the focus element, or (d) the highlighted search results, or (e) the leading edge of the viewport (bottom edge when scrolling down, or top edge when scrolling up), whichever changed most recently. However, when the user agent shifts the viewport to keep the point of regard in view, while giving priority to the narrowly-defined point of regard, it should generally try to keep the entire element or range in view if that's possible. For example, if the user has selected a range of text and then resizes the viewport, the user agent should have the entire selection in view if that's possible, but the active (moving) end should be visible in either case.

Today at The Philadelphia Sketch Club High School Annual Art Exhibition #psc #philadelphia #highschool #art #artists #students ... See MoreSee Less
Today I spent the afternoon at The Philadelphia Sketch Club annual High School Art Exhibition; 14 High Schools each entered artwork by students. I live-streamed my entire time there and chatted up students, teachers, parents and friends. Most of the kids regularly get to go to art class, one school only offers art to seniors, but everyone agreed that art is important to education. Talking with a science teacher I found out that art is important to studying science because you need to be able to draw graphs, illustrations and designs. Many of the students told me how much they like drawing and painting but don't see it as part of life after school. I explained that I'm still friends with my High School art teacher, Ross Beitzel, and that art will serve them in ways they can't imagine now. Teachers don't need to be armed with guns, they need supplies, class time, assistants, and more opportunities like this art show to interact with people of all ages and backgrounds to become good citizens. You can watch the video on the Philadelphia Sketch Club facebook page.
I'm studying at The Barnes Foundation Renoir Reconsidered and Renoir, A Painters Painter. There are 181 paintings spanning his career, he painted until his passing, his final artwork is in the collection. #renoir #artist #art #barnes 👁🌈❤🎨✌💐 ... See MoreSee Less
Happy birthday to Pierre-Auguste #Renoir, who was born on this day in 1841. This lovely informal sketch of roses was painted circa 1912, at the time when Renoir was painting many of his more ambitious female nudes. #LOOKSLOWLY at the flowers' colors. Note any similarities with the way he paints his female models? Renoir once told the French art dealer Ambroise Vollard that painting roses served as "research of flesh-tones for a nude." 🎨 Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Roses, c. 1912

In my role as a child advocate and former foster parent, I meet victims and learn of experiences that highlight the tragic and horribly profound impact resulting from child abuse and neglect through issues of mental health, crime, violence and addiction.
So often, these incidences occur as a result of underdeveloped parenting skills. A lack of knowledge and exposure to healthy parenting is the root behind many problems that affect children today. In order to make steps toward a solution, it is vital that our youth be educated on the responsibilities associated with parenting. As we approach April and National Child Abuse and Prevention Month, it is a timely opportunity to look at the substantive ways we can alter these patterns.
Schools have the opportunity to intervene and offer hope through the elective courses offered by the Family Consumer Science Program (FACS). These courses focus on parenting skills, child-development and family living. Many schools offer these classes as electives. It is vital that school administrators guide students towards participating in such courses.
Recently, I sent a letter to the Missouri Association of Secondary School Principals (MASSP) urging them to direct attention to the importance of expanding the reach of FACS courses, and incorporating an increased focus on parenting education among students.
Surveys report that 80-87% of all Americans will become biological parents. The FACS courses have the opportunity to increase skills that the majority of our students will utilize everyday for two decades of their life. All students would have an opportunity to begin discussing the qualities needed in their partner parent. The ultimate goal in equipping youth with parenting and coping skills is to reduce the incidences of child abuse and neglect. Children raised in an unhealthy family environment often grow to mimic the behavior of their parents. Early parenting education can prevent this from happening.
Government agencies have programs set in place in order to respond to unhealthy family environments. Unfortunately, these programs are set from a reactive position, meaning they are unable to interfere until a problem has arisen. It is imperative for the education system to get ahead of the issues before they arise, beginning with our youth. Educators have an opportunity to change the course of a child's life and the lives of their children, making a positive impact on future communities.
I encourage you to also reach out to the MASSP regarding the educational efforts that need to occur in order to work towards creating and insuring a brighter future for children.

Mental Resistance Training Can Make Us Stronger
10, Jul 2013 | 2 comments
Mental resistance training can make our minds stronger in the same way that resistance training with weights can make our muscles stronger. In the past I have been criticized for focusing too much on the "bad stuff" by people who believe that you attract what you focus on. And although I believe in this philosophy (the […]Read more

By DAVID KLEEMAN
When the frustrated imagination of a generation meets the opportunity to bring its dreams to life, will magic occur?
For some time, I've been bothered by malleable use of the term "transmedia"; it seemed that the term could mean whatever a children's media content creator wanted or needed for the situation, and therefore meant nothing. Transmedia got worked into every pitch, press release and request for proposals (even from the US Department of Education!). It was de rigueur across platforms, genres and age groups.
In part, that's exactly its purpose – transmedia should be ubiquitous. Still, the term teetered on the brink of buzzword, lacking the intellectual foundation to distinguish it from cross-platform, brand synergy, or simply "my TV show has a website."
I've always leaned toward Jeff Gomez' definition, that includes the proviso that content be developed and distributed in ways that "leverage the specific features of that platform." This ought to be self-evident; each medium's unique affordances should be front and center in the development process, but market pressure for "360 commissioning" too often resulted in content being sprayed out rather than cultivated.
I noticed at the recent Children's Media Conference in England, however, that conversations about transmedia seemed to have a new, more organic and natural flow to them. These presentations and discussions came from experts across mediums – publishing, broadcasting, games, virtual worlds, mobile media – and in sessions with varied themes – creative content, audience engagement, financial models. Their approach bespoke a coherent development process, in which pieces of the story were parceled out to the appropriate platforms from the start, rather than beginning from one device as the omphalos and tacking on other pieces. Even (or perhaps especially) the executives spoke of being in the business of developing immersive stories, not of filling a particular silo of content. Often, they didn't even use the term "transmedia"; their basic assumptions simply bespoke an internalization of its essentials. (It's worth noting that this was the case, too, before the term came into fashion – "Star Wars" was transmedia without even knowing it!)
I am engaging in conjecture, since I didn't check speakers' biographies; however, it seemed to me that most often, these were the working models for the newest generation of executives and creators. After all, who knows the unique potential and shortcomings of the varied places and devices where stories live better than those who've grown up immersed in them?
Today's young producer was a teenager around the turn of the century – let's say concurrent with the release of the PS2 in 2000, but before Xbox Live introduced networked gaming, in 2002. Online and on TV, people were waiting to see what extraordinary content synergy might result from the AOL-Time Warner merger; in Scandinavia, a very few teens were exploring the new Habbo; for others worldwide, bulletin boards were their "social network," supplemented by e-mail and instant messaging. Music was mostly still packaged, though Napster was already making waves with a file-sharing model.
In other words, teens of 2000 were cocooned in ubiquitous but discontinuous content. The stories they consumed were being made by the TV generation, raised on its linear and visual storytelling.
To be fair, this is a torch-passing that comes to every emerging medium. The TV generation had themselves revolutionized the small screen, wresting creative control from the film and radio generations, and inventing the fast-paced, mixed-media magazine show for kids, and much more.
It's easy to imagine teens of 2000 bouncing medium to medium, while longing for a connective thread – a TV-show website that goes deeper than cast bios and "printables"; magazines that explore the worlds of their favorite games; the book-based backstory to the film they just saw.
Over time, from that longing would have grown dreams – strategies – for "when I run the show." Now, not only are these twenty-somethings taking charge, they've been handed a previously-unimaginable technology arsenal with which to realize their vision: mobile smart media; broadband everywhere; affordable and easy-to-use production tools; social networks to extend and democratize storytelling; and much more.
Suddenly, it seems, the world of "transmedia" isn't just a buzzword, or even necessary to say. It has seeped into mainstream culture, not only surrounding the audience, but coming from the audience.

Jon Gruden has been linked to virtually every coaching vacancy in the college and professional ranks in the last few years after he joined the broadcast booth. This year, reports have suggested that Gruden may indeed be willing to re-join the sidelines as his time away from the game might make his coach relevancy less important. Gruden has a premiere job, siting alongside Mike Tirico on Monday Night Football, so are his competitive juices flowing so strongly that he could return to the NFL coaching ranks with the Cleveland Browns?
Superb beat writer Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer suggests this afternoon that the Browns might now be looking at Jon Gruden as a coaching possibility. Cleveland passed on the odds-on favorite to win the coaching job, Oregon's Chip Kelly. While entertaining Kelly, the Browns lost out on Doug Marrone of Syracuse, a coach they interviewed twice, and eventually signed with the Buffalo Bills.
Cleveland is rumored to be interested in interviewing CFL coach Marc Trestman and Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, who was released from a Baltimore hospital this morning.
I know that in recent years, several people have tried to connect the dots to add Gruden to the Browns. Last season it was the Mike Holmgren relationship and his history in the state of Ohio. This year, Ms. Cabot draws out the same logic. Gruden is from Ohio, he went to the University of Dayton, he now knows the new owner of the Browns-Jimmy Haslam. Haslam is a big-time booster of the University of Tennessee and Gruden's wife is a former Volunteer's cheerleader.
What's next? Gruden was recently seen leaving a Costco purchasing some orange ShamWOW towels?
I can understand the frustration in Cleveland, but I think Ms. Cabot is really making a reach here, trying to link Jon Gruden to the Browns as the team's next head coach.
In order to extract Gruden from the broadcasting booth, the perfect scenario will have to be in place. I have said all along, it will require a warm weather climate, a quarterback he can work with and a program he thinks he can turn around and reach the Super Bowl within two years.
I suggested last week on thepigskinreport.com that Gruden might be negotiating with Jerry Jones behind the scenes for the Dallas Cowboys head coaching job. I would not be shocked if Jones pulls a press conference in the middle of this week and announces Jon Gruden as the Cowboys next head coach. Dallas has not been relevant in post-season play, Jones wants to make the team relevant again and what better way to make a splash than to make a big announcement prior to the divisional round of the NFL playoffs? The media covering the NFL would be buzzing all week about Gruden to the Cowboys.
Gruden is a Super Bowl winning coach with a big ego. I'm sorry to disappoint Browns fans, but Cleveland is not a desired landing spot for a coach that likely in wanting to get in and out within three years with another championship. And in all reality, the Browns flirtation with Chip Kelly, Doug Marrone and even conducting an interview with Penn State's Bill O'Brien, leads me to believe that this is a team under new ownership that is going to move forward with young players and a young head coach. Jon Gruden will not land with the Browns in 2013, despite offseason rumors once again.

Apology ahead of time, folks. We have some weird audio troubles this time so after a very ironic introductory statement, Kent is very quiet through a lot of this episode. (Some of you may be pleased by that, of course.) We've done what we can to fix it.
If you can hang with us, we have more crazy Sony news, we talk about Zack Snyder's sudden departure from Justice League, Kent recommends some British comedy and we lay the smack down on Alien: Covenant, the sixth or eighth film in the venerable series, depending on how you count. (And arguably the fourth or sixth film too many.)

Open Application for Project Financing
The mission of the foundation "Stichting NLnet" is supporting network
research and development in the domain of Internet technology based on
open standards and the Open Source philosophy.
application form
One of the ways to accomplish this mission, is to financially support selected projects which potentially have positive impact on the wider dissemination and use of non-proprietary network and information exchange technologies.
Organizations, groups, individuals, or companies can apply for financial support if their project meets the following criteria:
- the project shall stimulate the use of network and information exchange technologies for peaceful and humane purpose;
- the project results must be freely distributed, as part of a (proposed) open standard or in the case of software and/or hardware based on an adequate free software/open source license;
- the project team is ready to undertake efforts to disseminate project results;
- the requested project contributions does not exceed the amount of 30.000€ and
- the project would not last much longer than about one year.
Even when your project meets the above criteria, the NLnet project selection committee reserves the right to reject the project proposal with or without reasoning, or to delay the contribution to a later moment.
Note that projects do not need to be technological in nature; also projects targeting to promote the wider use of non-proprietary network and information exchange technologies may get accepted.
The requestor may propose combined financing with a third party, when the project budget goes substantially above 30.000€, provided that such cooperation does not question the independent position of NLnet.
The above requirement --that project results shall be freely distributed based on Open Source principles-- does not necessarily mean that these results can not be commercially utilized. On the contrary: building up of profitable business on the project results is applauded.
It is appreciated if a separate plan is drawn for dissemination of project results. Where necessary, a dedicated dissemination budget can be outlined in the project plan.
The acceptance process normally followed by NLnet is described here:
|Proposal submission
|Any time
|See the website for calls
|Primary selection
|1st week
|2nd week
|Secondary selection
|Discussing and agreeing of project plans
|Signing memorandum of understanding (contract)
|Advance payment (if any)
|Approving progress report / quarterly payment
|Final payment
|after close-up
This is described in more detail:
- Open applications for project financing can be submitted any time to the NLnet project selection committee via our web-based application form. However, the selection process starts only at the date announced on the website. Your proposal will not be rejected when it is received after these dates, rather the assessment of your proposal will be shifted to a next following selection round.
- In the first two weeks from the start of a selection round, the selection committee makes a first filtering based on the above outlined criteria. The project teams will be notified about the outcome of this initial selection in the third week of the round.
- The second selection round is used to pick projects which not only satisfy the criteria, but also have potentially the most impact on society. Project teams will be notified on the results of the second round as soon as possible. On this moment, the final answer is given whether NLnet intends to financially support (part of) the project.
- Subsequently there is a period for submitting additional detail and further negotiation on the project plans(*) and budgeting, as well as examining the memorandum of understanding between NLnet and the project submitter (see the sample MoU in PDF). This period might take longer if a third party participates in project financing. After that, the project memorandum of understanding will be signed.
- In some cases, an advance payment can be considered. If this is agreed in the contract, the first advance payment can be effectuated in a week time after signing the contract.
- Followup payments usually follow a quarterly schedule, where payments are effectuated after NLnet's approval of a quarterly progress report and/or progress meeting.
- The final payment is made after approval of a closing report of and/or a closing meeting.
(*) The project team submits a short (2-10 pages) project plan outlining the following topics:
- Introduction --short description of the project and goals;
- Description of innovation:
- the problem solved by this project;
- the relative advantage of the proposed innovation;
- usability: for whom and to what purpose;
- perspectives for further development of this innovation and/or other technologies.
- Project setup --organizational, technical, eventual partners, dependencies on other projects, licenses, and such;
- Project planning --milestones and related results;
- Project budgeting;
- Project risks --which risks can be overseen from the start of the project;
- Project results dissemination --how the project team is going to disseminate results and to whom, publicity, diffusion of the produced innovation;
- Possibly, follow-ups on the project.
Since dissemination is considered a critical issue new ideas about this promotion of project may result result in supplemental financing. This can be negotiated on the basis of an adapted (or new) dissemination plan, compiled by the project team.

A fire that broke out at the state Department of Health's Wadsworth Labs was contained to one large office area and resulted in a precautionary "non-emergency" evacuation of the basement lab complex and the first five floors on the Corning Tower above it.
A few minutes after the first report of smoke around 4 p.m., about 150 workers had collected at the south end of the Empire State Plaza. One of them described thick black smoke in a corridor at Wadsworth; many others decided to call it a day.
The Albany Fire Department responded, and made no request to the state Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Service, which absorbed the Office of Fire Prevention and Control last year.
No injuries were reported, and the cause remains unknown.
Update: Here's a brief statement from the Office of General Services:
There was a small fire inside an office and adjoining hallway on the C level of the Corning Tower. The fire did not affect any laboratory areas of the Wadsworth Lab. The Albany Fire Department responded and the building was evacuated out of an abundance of caution. The building has been inspected and has been cleared for occupancy except for the immediate area where the fire took place. The building will be open tomorrow.

Emerald Physics have launched the cool and awesome CS3 loudspeakers. Though these speakers are not exactly expensive, they are seriously mind blowing and you can get to hear your music in the best form until now. They were launched at the AKfest on May 2nd and I am sure music buffs would be elated at the prospects of listening to music on such cool speakers.
It comes with a 2 way point source design and 12″ point source driver. The controlled directive technology helps the sound to emanate from the speakers in a unique way, so as to allow the listener experience amazing quality. You can choose among mahogany, cherry and maple finishes and they cost between $2,995 and $3,295.
I would say, these speakers are so cool that your neighbors would wonder from where all the tub thumping sounds are coming from.

Kurt A. Adler, a psychiatrist who spent a career seeking to put into practice the novel approach to psychotherapy of his father, Alfred Adler, the Viennese psychiatrist, and to extend its reach, died on in May 1997 at Lenox Hill Hospital. He was 92 and lived in Manhattan.
Dr. Adler was medical director and lecturer at the Alfred Adler Institute in Manhattan for 45 years and practiced at Lenox Hill Hospital. For 39 years, he was president of the board of the Advanced Institute for Analytic Psychotherapy in Jamaica, Queens.
Dr. Adler's hundreds of patients in Manhattan included a number of women who are distinguished writers, family members said.
A theme in his father's work was that women must have equal rights with men. His father argued that aggression in men might result if the individual did not sufficiently grasp the concept of equality of the sexes.

Alexandra Adler (1901-2001)*by Hendrika Vande Kemp, Annandale VAAlexandra Adler was born in Vienna, Austria on September 24, 1901, the second of four children born to Alfred Adler–the founder of individual psychology–and his Russian wife, Raissa Timofeyevna Epstein, who was a daughter of a Jewish merchant. Alexandra's brother Kurt was born in 1905 and her sister Cornelia in 1909.
Alexandra was baptized on October 17, 1904 with her father and her older sister Valentine (b. 1898) in the Protestant Church of the Dorotheergasse, although it is unclear what Alfred's "conversion" really meant: one biographer claims Alfred rejected Judaism because it was a religion for only one ethnic group and he wanted to "share a common deity with the universal faith of man" (Bottome, 1939, p. 65). However, Kurt Adler insisted in 1995 that "we are all atheists," and Alexandra's niece Margot also described her aunt as an atheist.1
Ernst Papananek (pseudonym: Ernst Pek) was born in Vienna in 1900. He studied medicine, psychology and education at the University of Vienna.
From 1919 he has been active in the Verband der Sozialistischen Arbeiterjugend Deutschösterreichs (SAJDÖ) and in 1934 he became Austria's representative in the executive committee of the Socialist Youth International (SYI).
From 1932 to 1934 he was also member of the City Council of Vienna.
In 1934 Papanek fled to Czechoslovakia, from where he supported the illegal Austrian Revolutionäre Sozialistische Jugend (RSJ).
Danica Deutsch, nee Bruckner (born August 16 1890 in Sarajevo , Bosnia Herzegovina , then Austria-Hungary , died December 24th 1976 in New York, USA ) was an Austrian-American psychologist , educator and representative of the Individual Psychology .
1909 Danica made a German as a language teacher training in Vienna, which they with a summer course in French and psychology at the University of Geneva completed. She was a teacher for a short time in Sarajevo, learned but before the First World War, the circle of Alfred Adler know and attended the sessions at his house. In 1912 she married Dr. Leonhard Deutsch, a music teacher and individual psychologists, with whom she had two daughters.

Most of the config files that we would be interested in fixing for newbies can include or source another file. Take sh-like shells for example. We would have the /etc/profile file (that is the file provided by the bash package) source another file (if it exists) that would be provided by our hypothetical config-package. We can even use the update-alternatives tool to sort out which config file will be soured when multiple config-packages are present on a system. This is more in line with what I was thinking.

I don't know whether I like the idea of a single config package or not > but I can see the following questions: > - Is it easy/possible to maintain single config package for many > programs? I don't think that it would be too difficult. Such a configuration package would not include configuration data that are essential for the operation of any part of a Debian system. This package would contain only fluff -- that is, stuff to make the system look nicer.

Adding preference changes to the files in /etc/skel has been discussed before on this mailing list. If I recall correctly, it is generally preferred that changes be made to the system-wide configuration files rather than the /etc/skel files (for example, /etc/profile instead of /etc/skel/.bash_profile). However, I think you are correct, there shouldn't be a large number of packages that need a little boost to become newbie-friendlier. > - On the other side wouldn't be better to let this configuration > things to one package with one maintainer ("newbies manager"), who > could watch newbies questions on debian.user etc. so he knows what > the *real* problems are? Thank you. You have just clearly stated my main argument for a newbie-configuration package. Finally, I feel that I should add a bit to the `rm -r *' discussion. Wouldn't it be nice to provide newbies with the alias rm='rm -i'? I've seen this done on the systems here at my school and on systems where I have worked. This alias is usually defined in /etc/skel/.profile (or some such file), so that it is present on all new accounts. (Notice that I am talking about modifying the files in the /etc/skel directory when I said above that this should not be done.) This trick prevents a new user from inadvertently erasing important files until which point he or she tires of confirming each file deletion and learns how to edit his or her .profile to remove the annoying alias. It's just a thought. Brian -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to firstname.lastname@example.com . Trouble? e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com .

All weight loss diets — low fat, low calorie, low carb, low blarb, etc — are, at essence, ways to treat obesity and/or prevent it.
Think about your weight loss goal as a mountain you want to climb.
Reaching your goal of, say, 50 pounds of excess fat gone, might be the equivalent of reaching the peak of a 5,000 foot mountain.
Different diets are analogous to different paths up that mountain:
- Some paths lead only half way up. (i.e. you lose 25 pounds and then stall out)
- Other paths zigzag up and down and finally dump you back at base camp. (i.e. you yo-yo diet for months or years before winding up back at your starting weight.)
- Other paths are thorny and eventually lead off the side of a cliff. (i.e. the diet is ferociously difficult/hunger-inducing and/or hurts you.)
- Still other paths may lead quickly and easily to the peak. (i.e. you lose the fat easily and effortlessly and keep it off.)
The Diet Wars constitute an ongoing argument over who's got the Best Path Up the Mountain. Whose path is fastest? Whose path is most certain? Whose path is safest? Whose path is most popular? Whose path is cheapest? Whose path does your favorite celebrity du jour follow? Etc.
All well and good. You've got a mountain to climb (i.e. pounds to lose). You need a path that's going to get you there, according to principles acceptable to you.
The problem is that no one is looking at the mountain as a whole.
We need to survey the whole mountain, otherwise we're never going to know what path is really "best," nor will we ever bring the Diet Wars to a satisfying conclusion.
So what is the "mountain as a whole"?
The mountain as a whole is the Black Box — the concept I introduce in my free report. The Black Box is not a Path Up The Mountain. It is not a diet solution, per se. Rather, it's a model of the landscape that we're all trying to get a grip on.
As any Zen meditator worth his snuff will tell you: to begin to make progress in any endeavor, you MUST SEE REALITY CLEARLY.
We need a vision of the whole mountain.

My weight-loss surgery significantly improved my life!
Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) February 06, 2013
In growing numbers, obese Americans opt for surgery to slim down. The TV series In View with Larry King, which airs on cable television networks and channels like the Discovery Channel, will highlight bariatric surgery and other weight-loss surgeries in an upcoming In View series (http://www.inviewseries.com) that will educate American TV audiences about the risks and rewards of different types of surgery that people undergo to lose weight and slim down.
In our image-conscious society, many people feel insecure about their figures, and many turn to surgery when traditional weight-loss methods do not work out. The In View TV series, starring Larry King, will examine this trend. Hundreds of thousands of people across America have undergone different surgical procedures to lose weight. The In View Larry King show will educate viewers about the different types of bariatric surgery, including gastric-bypass surgery and lap-band surgery. The Larry King TV show (855-446-8439) will look at different reasons why people choose to undergo these procedures, including social and health benefits.
This In View series Larry King will bring TV audiences perspectives from multiple medical professionals, along with patients. An In View with Larry King producer will interview bariatric surgeons, doctors and men and women across the nation who have undergone weight-loss surgery. Medical experts will speak about the health risks of obesity, as well as the potential complications involved with weight-loss surgery. Patients will share their experiences with the Larry King In View production team.
The In View TV show (561-544-7965) explores intriguing subjects across U.S. culture. It touches upon health subjects, business stories, technology subjects, environmental topics and more.

It's a good Riad but has some challenges. Ask for a room on the first floor. On the ground floor you are next to the breakfast and have much less light. Be sure to book SPA treatments before arrival. Don't expect too much in terms of heating (if you go during winter like we did) and showering (it was often low water pressure). Overall, I would probably check out another Riad next time I go to Marrakech.
