Hormat ORD company, hormat, senja-TA!
Happy ORD to Dinesh!
Happy ORD to Dinesh!
My friends around me POP, commissioning and enlisting. I'm just here fucking around in NCC. Soon.
Its for you
Being Soldier is a state of mind. My respect and salute to all soldiers in service and retired
I feel dead already. It's like its the end. I don't blame anyone but myself. 11 months I've been living a false life. An illusion. I'll never move on. Even if she does.
My whole pillow is wet from my crying. Crying from a pain I did to myself. I still remember the day we met. She was standing at bistro. I waved and smiled, she just smiled back. I beckoned her, she came and I thrusted my phone to her for her number. I remember the first hug she gave me during SYF. We stopped contacting then, but when she hugged me that day, I could sense she missed me. I remember her smile. And how she kept avoiding the camera during our trek at macritchie. I remember how she was always the boss of her friends. I miss her everyday. A fool's hope of waking up to seeing her face in the morning. I remember telling her of bringing her for her first officer commissioning at AQC, I was hoping we would be together by then, but now, that just remains a dream. Like all the other dreams I dreamt.
I cant stop crying because of this. This will stay with me forever. My love for you will die with me.
15 October 2011, 2135h
This phrase will haunt me. Its starting to.
Shall use this experience to push myself to combat fitness standard and earn the para wings. 212BAC
Had a good run around camp in uniform today. Feel healthier, lighter but shagged. 212BAC, lets go!
Warrant Officers are the most senior and most experienced soldiers in the SAF. Ive been blessed to meet and work with many of them throughout my service. They act as "fathers" to soldiers and hence they are called "Encik".
Went to conduct IMT for the sec 1 cadets today and I met an ex-Warrant I've always met at all ranges I've conducted-2WO(RET) Ahmad. And today, he gave me a reminder of why I had pursued a polytechnic education in the first place, a career as an Officer in the Army. "You see Lieutenant Shamil, set him as an example. Sure OCS" he told a junior of mine. When he spoke those words, I remembered the Enciks which said the same thing and also a former teacher of mine who said he was confident in me being commissioned as an SAF Officer. I am proud of the fact that my ability to become an Officer was recognised even before my enlistment. I found a new spark to excel in Encik Ahmad's words. He gave me the push I needed all this time. I wont let him nor anyone who placed an expectation of excellence for me down. Till the day I am commissioned I will never rest.
"To lead, to excel, to overcome"
First things first, happy ORD to LTA Firdaus. Hope you have success in future endeavors! This month was the month I really got closer to people at HQ. Shed some tears too. It's like, whenever I booked in, I felt a sense of homecoming. Whenever I walk thru AQC's gates, I keep telling myself, I'm home. And it's true. AQC is where I go to find comfort, it's where I've shed my blood, sweat and tears(literally). But now I realise its more than that, the bonds over built with both fellow officers and NSFs matters the most, a second family. They taught me to be selfless and generous in more ways than one. To have fun at the extremes and of course they taught me the sense of duty. I've changed so much since my Commissioning in 2010. So have many things around me. But one sad fact of HQ NCC is that nothing is permanent, today I say good bye to LTA Firdaus. Hope you enjoyed pond! :)
Since commissioning, I've met a lot of SAF regulars. And I've had the opportunity to interact in both a formal and casual setting. How many can say that they had a chance for a kopi session with Chief of Army and Sergeant Major of Army on the same day? I had. But among all I'll never forget Encik Tami. Met him during my survival course in 09'. Very down to Earth guy. He really has my respect. An ex-Commando Ranger instructor. We smoked during NC2012. Talked about Army life, he was happy to find out I aspired to be a Ranger too. And he also got excited about the cigarettes I was smoking-"wah cibai, got ball ah?!" . He's been a bachelor all his life. Come to think of it, I might become like him someday.

A systematic approach to mastering the entire range of the saxophone through major and minor scales and arpeggios. Rather than focusing on the middle of the saxophone range and a limited number of key signatures, the goal here is to teach students to read in all key signatures - including enharmonic keys - and to play comfortably in the extreme registers. This book offers exercises that focus in these specific problem areas. It begins with one-octave scales and arpeggios followed by preparatory studies for the full range. This preparation is achieved through exercises extending upward and downward from the middle range with scales finally played full range. Each scale or arpeggio exercise is stated in order of increasing sharps or flats, ultimately addressing all major and minor keys. Report forms for each exercise and key (including metronome markings) are provided so students can evaluate their progress.

Re: Off Topic....Anything Goes vol4
I love pseudo Maria he/she tweeted the real Maria this:
@MariaSharapova Who are you and are you trying to impersonate me?
also: Bad day today. I lost four games.
I appreciate all the sudden welcome to Twitter tweets but I've been here a while...
Aga now has the same number of lost matches this year as she does Grand Slam titles: 0 #oops
Vika withdraws from Brisbane coincidentally after I withdraw? I knew she was a fan of mine but I never thought she would imitate me, too.
The @AustralianOpen draw is in a few hours! As long as I don't get Monica Seles, I should be fine.

My Go-To-Lens for Individual Portraits: Sigma's 70-200mm f2.8 EX DG OS
Working with people in general is such an honor for me. As a portrait artist, I photograph people of all ages. I can't honestly say I have a favorite age group, although I do love photographing young adults and helping them to see their beauty as I do.
The ages of these young people included in this article vary from 11-19 years old. They are from different families and all share the same optimism that comes with being so young.

A lack of healthy forward continues for the Thrashers. More absences required defenseman Zach Bogosian to practice up front on Tuesday.
Evander Kane and Chris Thorburn did not practice and were "banged up" according to coach Criag Ramsay. Jim Slater (concussion) also did not practice and Fredrik Modin (mid-body) skated in non-contact drills only.
Ramsay said the move of Bogosian was done out of necessity. However, he did not rule out Bogosian playing forward when the Thrashers host Tampa Bay on Thursday if there is still a shortage of healthy players.
"Who knows?" Ramsay said. "I don't know for sure. It depends on how there other guys go. It's always a possibility to dress seven [defensemen]. We know, for instance, that he could play up front. Freddy Meyer can if necessary. …
"One thing, you wouldn't want to be a defenseman with Zach bearing down on you because he can skate and is a physical guy."
Bogosian was a healthy scratch in Monday's shootout win over Florida. Meyer played as a forward one game earlier this season.
Chris Mason, who sprained the MCL in his right knee, also did not practice. He was scheduled to have an MRI Tuesday. There is still no timetable on the goaltender's return.
Modin said his return will be determined by how he feels after the practice. He did experience some tightness after skating. The forward has battled several injuries this season. He has appeared in just 28 games and only twice has played seven straight games.
"I don't like to say that I'm getting used to it," Modin said. "You really don't. It sucks. It's been like this for awhile. It is frustrating. You are always looking forward to when you can get back. That's kind of been what drives you."
Modin said he will wait until after the season to determine his future.
Big win
Having won just four times in the past 13 games, including Monday's dramatic win over Florida, the Thrashers are hoping the victory will mean good things. Bryan Little and Thorburn scored 44 seconds apart in the game's final two minutes to tie the Panthers in a game the Thrashers won in a shootout.
"It has the potential to be a watershed game," Ramsay said. "We really hope it to be so. I thought we played solidly against Philly but found a way to lose. The first half of the game were the dominate team in Dallas and found a way to lose and ruined that one. You have those instances and this one where it was a pretty tight game. We looked like we coughed it up again. Instead we battled through with two empty-net goals to make this thing work and get the shootout win which was great for us. These are the types of things a team can build off of."
Andrew Ladd said he had the very same thought.
"That's the kind of win that can turn a year around and get you headed in the right direction," the captain said. "At the same time, we have to use that in the right way and go out there and start playing the way we can. We can't wait until the last two minutes to get some urgency and really start taking it to a team. We know what we are capable of.
Anthony Stewart and Little were each fined $200 by the NHL for being the third and fourth fights in the melee in Boston on Dec. 23.
With Tuesday's trade of Ben Eager, Spencer Machacek will get an extended look. Re-called from AHL Chicago last week, Ramsay said the forward is doing a good job but must get used to the speed of the NHL game.
Here are the line combinations from Tuesday's practice:
January 18th, 2011

January 18th, 2011
6:02 pm
Dang it I'm not first but anyways maybe that will be the spark he needs
January 18th, 2011
6:11 pm
Fined $200 bucks for fighting? Is that a typo?
January 18th, 2011
6:42 pm
Really????? Where is the "sting" in a $200 fine?
January 18th, 2011
6:52 pm
Ya those $200 fines are a complete joke. Is the league purposefully trying to take shots at this team and franchise? Seriously. Those practice lines look like something you throw together during the 1st preseason game to get a look at what some guys can do. I personally hope Bogosian sits in the press box for a few more games and let Meyer play. Zach is just completely lost out there and sitting out one game does not fix his problems.
January 18th, 2011
6:56 pm
Zach Bogosian… Physical ? Not, he is like a feather on the ice, he never hits anything, even the puck. This kid is done, Good-Bye Zach !
January 18th, 2011
7:49 pm
I love it. I want to see Bogosian play forward. I'd even like to see him get a chance in the shootouts, too.
January 18th, 2011
8:23 pm
How cool. I called for Bogo to move to forward about a month ago on Rawhide's blog. He has some skills but is lost now on defense.
I hope they give him a try up front.
January 18th, 2011
8:32 pm
no. bogo needs to sit and think about if he wants to be an nhl player or not.
January 18th, 2011
9:01 pm
Bogo is a no-go. He sucks at both sides Offense when he joins the rushes, and on defense where he is a flat-out joke and a bust. Trade Bogo for a couple of 2nd and 3rd round picks.
January 18th, 2011
9:03 pm
Even Thorbs (Thorburn) can make a better D-man than Bogo. That's actually a good idea. Make bogo a 4th line LW or RW and make Thorbs a D-man. Love that idea!
January 18th, 2011
9:25 pm
If he plays offense it shows that he really is in trouble with having a home on this team. Seems like a last resort.
Better idea is to scratch him and bring up Kulda for some competition.
January 18th, 2011
9:29 pm
Buff as a defenseman, and Bogo as a forward. Define irony!
January 18th, 2011
9:34 pm
I'd just like to see it. If it's an utter collapse of a failure, at least it can be said 'it was tried.' We 'tried' Byfuglien at defense, at the protest of many posters, including myself. It has worked. We can't know if something will fail or succeed until it tried.
But, I'd say that Bogosian's natural position is that of a blueliner. That's where he needs to excel. Maybe we should bring in Matthieu Schneider to be his personal advisor. That used to work well.
January 18th, 2011
9:38 pm
That is where he needs to be on the ice keep him up their and his numbers will rise up.
January 18th, 2011
10:41 pm
just hoping an "extended look" for spence also means more than 5 – 8 minutes a game. tough to prove what you can do with those type minutes.
January 19th, 2011
7:37 am
Bolton-Andropov-Bogosian would be a fun line to watch. Talk about the Bruise Brothers.
January 19th, 2011
7:40 am
Bogo has a hard time getting the puck on net…not sure if he can shoot the puck with any accuracy. Comments?
January 19th, 2011
8:41 am
That is too true Blueland, and the same with Hainsey!
January 19th, 2011
9:30 am
Bogo is over and out. He quickly "lost it." Sit him another 5 games and bring up Kulda! Does he have a 2-way contract? If so, he needs to do penance in the AHL. And here we're short of healthy bodies and we trade Eager for a 5th round bag-of-donuts….
January 19th, 2011
9:53 am
The game with Tampa this Thursday is critical. The team has to make a statement and catch up to Tampa and Washington if they have any chance of making the playoffs. Oh and Andropov is a big whussy. A guy that big should be like Chara and intimadate players.
January 19th, 2011
10:18 am
There is a lot of hate for Bogo, and I can kind of understand that. But he isn't the sole reason for the recent slide. He is a developing player and to take his ice time away would be a mistake. It is ironic though that Bogo will skate up and Buffy is holding the line, lol!
Glad to see Eager gone, he just didn't fit the style and it is obvious he was not towing the company line.
January 19th, 2011
11:58 am
I remember Bogo making runs at the net his in his rookie season – he's got the speed and offensive tools to be a decent forward… very intrigued by this.
January 19th, 2011
12:07 pm
Sucks to say, but the signing of Modin was by far one of the worst decisions of Dudleys young tenure here in Atlanta…the signing made no sense in any aspect…He made a career of being injury-prone and he has continued that tradition here in Atlanta.
January 19th, 2011
12:14 pm
For God's sake, Duds, make a move. It's very apparent we need a top 4 defenseman and a top 6 forward, both with experience. Work a two player deal for picks and prospects. Calgary and Ottowan need to move people. Edmonton too. I wouldn't be against trolling Europe for any ex-NHLer looking to come back to NHL (if they can get out of their contract). I saw where Owen NNolan is looking to return to NHL, but also noticed he's only played about 20 of his teams 40+ games, so he may have injury problems. I think a player of Nolan's experience and character would help.
January 19th, 2011
12:53 pm
Does he have a green card?
January 19th, 2011
1:02 pm
I liked Eager, he at least stood up for himself and other players, but that doesn't fly well here. Too many Antro's who stand there while Kane is given a concussion, too many Hainsey's who do nothing physical no matter the circumstances. I wish Eager the best, I don't mind him being traded..it's just the fact that we get nothing in return. We have the empty jersey of Modin as well, this team desperately needs some sort of impact player and I don't see Macheckshkusk or whatever his name is as being that player or Bogosian becoming a forward in some way "helping" the cause. We are doomed if Pavs, Buf or Toby gets hurt. They carry this team of mostly nobodies. Make a significant move Duds. It still shocks me that Kulda looks great every preseason and yet a scrub like Meyer automatically gets a spot over him..Kulda never getting the NHL experience, he could have a couple of seasons under his belt by now if it weren't for our organization disloyalty.
January 19th, 2011
1:31 pm
meh….Eager was like Boults, but dumber. Won't miss him much.

The Pyramids salt and Noah's flood
On the history channel today (Thursday)...... while most of their ideas today are wrong
they did mention that when the pyramid was opened, the lower levels rooms and walls were covered by SALT .........
During Noah's flood, the salt water would have filled the pyramid through the several small openings....... over the years, the water would have evaporated leaving behind the salt -- direct evidence of Noah's flood !!!Lewis Brackett

Green Living Inspiration: The Zero Waste Home
Sunset Magazine
"The Northern California home in which Béa Johnson lives with her husband, two kids, and dog has all the trappings of a normal life—a garden, a TV, computers. What is doesn't have is garbage. That's because this family throws nothing away," writes Sunset magazine in their January article The Zero-Waste Home. This story fueled a lively discussion in our house, so I thought I'd share.
The Zero-Waste Home gives a great tour of the Johnson abode, highlighting the benefits of living with less to reduce waste:
- The kitchen is free of all packaging—from the pantry to the refrigerator and freezer. Drawers are uncluttered while countertop space isn't consumed by bulky paper towels.
- Closets are organized and sparse: Limiting the articles of clothing they own, Béa caps out at 6 pairs of shoes, 7 tops, 7 pants, and 2 skirts. The couple has also adopted the habit of only shopping twice a year at a thrift store to "replace items that are stained, worn, or outgrown."
"When we started getting rid of things, it was kind of addictive," she continues. "In a recession, people are inclined to keep things, but I feel the opposite. The less I have, the richer I feel. Stuff weighs you down."
How does Béa recommend readers pare down and run zero waste homes? To take an aggressive approach, consider the 80/20 rule: "You use only 20 percent of what you have in your home. Evaluate your possessions, decide which are in that 20 percent, and get rid of the rest."
On reducing your waste, Bea explains, "Refuse, refuse, refuse, and then reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot. The first step is to refuse products and packaging that you'll have to dispose of later."
Re-Nest Readers, please tell us: Is living with less to reduce your waste possible? If yes, what would you refuse first?

This is so inspiring. I am trying my hardest to live like this.
I was hoping you'd share what the lively discussion in your house was about
One quick thought: there's a difference between consuming a lot and having a lot.
I love how aggressively they try to avoid consuming unnecessary things, but ridding yourself of things you've accumulated through your life doesn't seem to be about being green so much as being minimal and uncluttered. I don't consume a lot, but I do keep things for a long time.
@akay, I couldn't agree with you more -- there is a great difference between consuming a lot and having a lot.
If you've been a tremendous consumer in the past, then holding on to the things you value for their value is best. But what if you don't value what you have? What if the clothes don't fit and the items are no longer relevant?
For me, I prefer living uncluttered. I hang on to things for very long periods of time and usually try to purchase for the ages, but when I do stray I often find myself purging books and ill-fitting clothing several times per year.
Do you think clutter and belongings can breed more consumption?
So if they have zero waste does that exclude recycling? As of late, having moved to a new state, our household has had to adjust from recycling everything to,now where there are all kinds of limitations like sparkling clean containers, no foil, no glass (we have to sort and bring it in seperately), no glossy paper, no higher number plastics yady yady yada. And they definitly don't have a cat then!
I think zero waste in this case is just zero landfill contributions. Recycling is definitely included. On another note, I found out that the single stream recycling in my county doesn't actually recycle everything - people are paid to sort out the good stuff at a depot, and the rest goes to the landfill after all. We should all be doing what this family is doing.
how do they shop for food? most food, besides fruits and vegetables, come in packaging which needs to be thrown away
@twelve: Great question! The article in Sunset says that Béa does her grocery shopping around the outside of the store, meaning she stays in the produce, meat, cheese, and other dairy areas. She takes her own refillable sacks for beans, rice, etc and also brings along wide-mouth jars for cheese and meat.
It's a great idea, but I just imagine myself shopping at Whole Foods on a busy day and having to ask the attendants at the meat and cheese counters to place my items in jars. I know I'd get A LOT of dirty looks, but who cares.
Any other ideas out there about how to purchase meat and cheese without all the packaging?
If you are going straight home you could always get cheese wrapped in a cloth. Meat would be trickier.
This is commitment! I wish more people would think along these lines.
It takes a special kind of thinking to live your life with less clutter and possessions.
I'm not a clothes person, but I don't think I could get by with just 2 skirts. I WISH that other people's opinions didn't matter--but realistically, I don't think most people can get away with wearing so little clothing over and over in a work environment. It makes people think you're junky, even when you have fantastic reasons for doing it.
Veggiemar, I also live with an extremely small wardrobe, and I also used to wonder what other people thought of me, too. What I've realized is that most people are too concerned worrying their own appearance even to notice what I'm wearing. Really!
As far as taking containers to Whole Foods, I do it all the time. Nobody has even raised an eyebrow at me about it.
I also used to worry about whether or not my sparsely furnished house measured up. The few comments I've gotten about it have all been along the lines of, "Wow, how do you keep your house so neat? I could never keep mine looking like this!"
Our life's clutter is much less impressive to others than we imagine it is, if it's even noticed at all.
I completely understand how getting rid of things becomes addicting! My husband is in the military, we've been married 5 1/2 years and have moved 6 times. Each time we've moved, I got rid of a good amount of excess stuff, but after this last move it became an obsession. I realized at least 1/3 of the items we keep moving, we don't use. So, why on earth do we keep moving them from place to place?!
Eight months ago, we moved into a loft where storage is limited. Perfect time to start purging. I've since pared down (donated) our household goods by at least 30-35 percent. My husband thinks I'm crazy, and says one day I'll give him away! I can promise that won't happen, but almost everything else I could part with.
Life is so much more peaceful and satisfying when you aren't smothered by your belongings. There's nothing wrong with owning things, but be selective with what you live with, only buy / keep what you really love, and enjoy what you have! Life is more about the experiences you have and the people you have them with than the items we accumulate. I try to keep that in perspective. Some days are easier than others.
My best bit of advice? Choose 5-10 items each week that you can part with. Stash them in a box, and once a month take that box of items to your local thrift store to donate. Easy peasy!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11)-- An employee at a New York animal shelter was caught stuffing a live dog into a dumpster.
Michael Papini, 30, was employed as a kennel cleaner at the shelter.
Surveillance cameras caught Papini putting the dog in a plastic bag and tossing it into the dumpster.
Police reported a friend of Papini's asked him to take this dog and her poodle to the shelter because she could no longer care for them.
Investigators said Papini charged the friend $500 to take the dogs into the kennel.
Police have not yet located the poodle.
Papini is facing animal cruelty charges and was suspended form work without pay.

Introducing the Post Carbon Reader
Posted Jun 28, 2010 by Asher Miller
On April 20th and May 6th of this year, two seemingly unrelated events brought to stark relief — for those willing to pay attention — that while we're good at throwing our hyper-technological, globalized economies into overdrive, we're not so good at putting them smoothly in reverse.
The Deepwater Horizon disaster and the 1,000 point "flash crash" of the stock market are but two examples of what can happen when the massively complex, inter-connected world we've built hits up against the very real limits to growth. A quick glance at world news and you can easily see other examples: a deadly tsunami caused by glacier collapse in Peru... a credit crisis in Greece threatening to topple the government in Germany... ethnic strife in Central Asia inflamed by conflicts over water, natural gas, and other resources... and so on.
This is just the beginning.
In 2009, Post Carbon Institute recruited 29 of the world's leading sustainability thinkers to answer one fundamental question: How do we manage the transition to a more resilient, sustainable, and equitable world?
Like us, our Fellows see five key truths:
- We have hit the "limits to growth." This is not a moral question (or not only one); nor is it merely a question about the fate of our children and grandchildren. The truth is that we have no choice but to adapt to a world of resource constraints, economic contraction, and climate upheaval. And thus the only question that remains is this: How will we manage that transition?
- No issue can be addressed in isolation. Thankfully, recognition of these crises has grown in recent years. However, all too often they are viewed in isolation. We must connect the dots in order to get to their source — not just their symptoms — and to maximize what little time and resources we have to address the enormous challenges they pose.
- We must focus on responses, not just solutions. As John Michael Greer says, we face a predicament, not a problem. "The difference is that a problem calls for a solution; the only question is whether a solution can be found and made to work and, once this is done, the problem is solved. A predicament, by contrast, has no solution. Faced with a predicament, people come up with responses."
- We must prepare for uncertainty. While the general trends are clear, it's simply impossible to predict, specifically, how world events will unfold. Therefore, it's critically important that we aim to build resilience on the individual and community scales. Resilient people and resilient communities are characterized by their ability to manage unforeseen shocks while maintaining their essential identity.
- We can do something. The bad news is that we simply cannot avoid hardship or suffering in the journey from a fossil fuel- and growth-dependent world to communities that live within ecological bounds. The good news is that we can prepare and make positive changes in almost any area of our lives and the lives of our communities. How much and how successful those efforts are all depends upon the thought and effort we invest.
The Post Carbon Reader
The first step, as we saw it, was to aggregate the most current, systems-oriented thinking about these interconnected threats, as well as the most promising responses. I'm proud to announce the outcome of this effort — The Post Carbon Reader: Managing the 21st Century's Sustainability Crises — will hit bookstores and classrooms in October 2010.
The Reader includes 35 essays by 28 Post Carbon Institute Fellows, including Bill McKibben, Richard Heinberg, Stephanie Mills, David Orr, Sandra Postel, Michael Shuman, Wes Jackson, Erika Allen, Bill Ryerson, Gloria Flora, and many other leading sustainability thinkers.
We're pleased to be partnering with Watershed Media and University of California Press to distribute this much-needed resource as broadly as possible. University of California Press is offering a 20% discount for early orders. Just follow these instructions.
Free Downloads
Over the coming weeks and months, we'll be posting free pdf downloads of many of the articles included in The Post Carbon Reader. The first two, by Fellows Sandra Postel and Warren Karlenzig, have just been released.
Sandra's piece — "Water: Adapting to a New Normal" — looks at how these shortages will affect growth in the United States.
Warren's — "The Death of Sprawl: Designing Urban Resilience for the 21st Century Resource & Climate Crises" — analyzes the high, true cost of urban and exurban sprawl in the United States and proposes multiple appropriate responses.

From: Asher Miller, Jun 28, 2010 10:15 AM
David, it's clear that you are as deeply concerned about the state of the world as we are, and are rightly passionate about it. However, I find it odd that you would choose to express this by parsing words and criticizing an organization that is essentially saying the same thing you seem to be.
I'm not sure where you got the impression that we weighed all issues equally or failed to see causality, or that we're unwilling to address population. I'd recommend looking more closely at the work of PCI Fellow William Ryerson (http://www.postcarbon.org/person/36226-william-ryerson). I'll personally email you the article he wrote, to be included in The Post Carbon Reader, when it's released.
I'm also not sure what gave you the impression that our emphasis on responses vs. solutions relieves us or others of responsibility. The point of this "hairsplitting" as you call it, is to stress that no technological solution or addressing of a single issue in isolation is going to get us out of the mess we're in. In fact, the reason why we stress this differentiation is to put the responsibility squarely back on our collective shoulders, rather than waiting for the market or policymakers to do take care of things for us.
With regard to the definition of resilience: This certainly can be debated or defined differently, depending upon the context. In our view of things, resilience is not about returning to a previous state but rather, as Rob Hopkins describes it, ""the capacity of a system to absorb disturbance and reorganize while undergoing change, so as to still retain essentially the same function, structure, identity, and feedbacks." We don't believe our essential identity as human beings is the current throw-away-consumerism of business as usual.
Lastly, with regard to the "hand holding" of our belief that we CAN do something: We honestly believe this or else, frankly, we wouldn't be engaged in this work. It's clear that, in your legitimate concerns over carrying capacity you fear "watering down" the message. I can understand that. However, I believe that we must strike a balance between facing reality and speaking truth, and providing people with real hope and a vision forward, without compromising the former. The latter may not be a motivation for you, but I can say with conviction that it is for most people, including myself.
PS: Speaking of carrying capacity, you may wish to see the presentation that I myself give about the challenge we face: http://www.slideshare.net/postcarbon/the-future-is-all-about-resilience
Five key truths?
From: David Thomas, Jun 25, 2010 09:38 PM
It's difficult to imagine that the fellows at the Post Carbon Institute, known for their insight and depth of understanding, could get it so wrong.
A very quick critique of your 'five key truths':
1. We have hit the 'limits to growth'
Well, yes of course, but no mention of the growth issue that affects all others? The first 'key truth' and perhaps the only one necessary, should have, instead, been:
We are in Carrying Capacity Overshoot.
All effective analysis, transition, and problem solving flows from this understanding.
2. No issue can be addressed in isolation.
A correct, well worn, and well known insight, but not helpful if one doesn't understand that issues are not all equally weighted. A decision tree of action will lead one into failure if causes are not separated from symptoms.
3. Responses, not solutions.
Greer is wrong. Predicaments/responses (plagiarized from Toynbee's 'challenge and response') is semantic hairsplitting and relieves us of responsibility.
No, we face a 'problem' and it is 'overshoot'. The 'solution' is to carefully reduce levels of population and economic activity. So, is Post Carbon Institute uncharacteristically bowing to political correctness here by not wanting to talk about the elephant in the room, population?
4. Prepare for uncertainty.
Really, how much time was spent agreeing to this? It's true, but not useful, if again, we don't understand how we got here.
Moreover, 'resilience' means 'to return to the previous state'. If there's one thing we shouldn't do it's be 'resilient' and return to business as usual. Bad word to adopt in describing the goal of future communities. And 'sustainable' is far too corrupted and virtually meaningless. Replace 'resilient' with 'durable', please, when you talk about what we should transition to.
5. We can do something.
Of course we can. Was this the 'let's give them some hope' part of the 'five key truth' dogma. Or whistling in the dark, maybe? Come on. We're beyond this kind of hand holding. 'We can do something' actually meant something in the 70's. Most of us, however, who have been 'willing to pay attention' as you say, and have followed global data and trends for decades know we are far beyond the 'event horizon'.
This 'five bean soup' analysis is watered down, tasteless, and more than disappointing. Gosh, you guys and gals can do better than this. Richard, where were you when they came up with this stuff?
How then do we transition to durable local and international communities?
We acknowledge the cause of unsustainability in the first place:
carrying capacity overshoot.
What is the solution?
reduce to carrying capacity.
That is, carefully, fairly, humanely, democratically scale back levels of population and economic activity.
Look, we can make this as simple or as complex as we want, it doesn't matter to nature how we look at. Ultimately, the transition question is, do we reduce to carrying capacity voluntarily or involuntarily? The answer to that question will determine the steepness of collapse and the fate of civilization.
The gang of 29 lost their focus putting this together and just plain got it wrong. Just like 'the best and the brightest' in the '60's got it wrong about SE Asia and didn't want to admit their error until it was too late. Why? Because they didn't have the courage to understand causes and get beyond politics. They wasted lives, resources, and a generation of opportunities while trapped in shallow thinking and band-aid symptom solving.
Post Carbon Institute, dust off your paperback copy of Limits to Growth, read the ten year follow ups, rethink your 'five key truths'.
And start over.
David Thomas

From: Hannah , Jun 24, 2010 04:47 PM
Uncertainty is fast becoming the greatest truth of our time. And so, it is a time for what Daniel Lerch calls a "purposeful transitioning." And it is time for the post-carbon era to begin. We should all look to the leaders and educators in this volume for guidance and follow in the path of their unspoiled optimism. A dependency on Change is the only dependency we can afford to have.

The Difference Between Inference & Prediction
Norman Webb's Depth of Knowledge Levels is a system that categorizes tasks according to the complexity of thinking required to successfully complete them.
By Klea Scharberg Literacy—ongoing development of reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills—is crucial for learning and engaging in school and beyond. The goal of what should be taught can be defined through standards, curriculum, and the changing information demands of society. How we personalize the learning of literacy skills for each of our students is where we show the art of teaching. One way to personalize learning is to build on students' strengths. Renowned psychologist Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences provides a way to approach lessons through activities that motivate and engage students in settings in which they feel comfortable. In a Washington Post Answer Sheet op-ed, Gardner advises educators to "Learn as much as you can about each student, and teach each person in ways that they find comfortable and learn effectively." He continues by encouraging us to "Teach important materials in several ways, not just one ... In this way you can reach students who learn in different ways." The New School in St. Louis, Mo., has taken this personalization even further by designing its library's architecture, purpose, and activities around the eight intelligences. As you get to know your students this school year, use the activity examples based on the components of multiple intelligences below to find new and varied ways to engage them in learning literacy.

"It just might be that in a society where information is abundant, thinking habits are more important than knowledge. Somewhere beneath wisdom and above the "things" a student knows.
Laws of economics say that scarcity increases value. It's no longer information that's scarce, but rather meaningful response to that information. Thought.
And thought has a source–a complex set of processes, background knowledge, and schema that we can, as educators think of as cognitive habits. And if they're habits, well, that means they're probably something we can practice at, doesn't it?"
Via Beth Dichter
Beth Dichter's curator insight, September 8, 7:09 PM
We want our students to demonstrate that they know how to think, to understand that they have the ability to ask questions and find answers, answers that may not be available through Google (esp. if we are asking them to research). In short, we want them to use metacognitive skills.
But how do we teach them these skils? The image above, from teachthought, provides 15 questions that may help students create the habits that students need to learn. Below are three of the questions. Click through to the post for the entire list, as well as some great discussion.
* Is this idea important to me? To others? Why or why not?
* Is there a "part" of this new idea I can take and "pivot"? Create something new and fresh?
* What real-world models–examples–relate to this that can help me understand this further?
Consider posting these questions in your classroom and using them when appropriate with students.

Dyslexia affects up to 1 in 5 people, but the experience of dyslexia isn't always the same. This difficulty in processing language exists along a spectrum -- one that doesn't necessarily fit with labels like "normal" and "defective." Kelli Sandman-Hurley urges us to think again about dyslexic brain function and to celebrate the neurodiversity of the human brain.

Virginia Tourism Corporation Press Release
RICHMOND (July 25, 2013)-In August, hundreds of breweries, restaurants, hotels, and small businesses across the state will celebrate the second year of Love on Tap: August Virginia Craft Beer Month. The month's theme, Love on Tap, is a nod to the state's famous Virginia is for Lovers slogan and will showcase the state's burgeoning craft beer scene, which continues to grow at an exciting rate.
"Love is at the heart of every Virginia vacation, but it's also at the heart of every carefully-crafted Virginia beer at more than 60 breweries and counting," said Rita McClenny, president and CEO of Virginia Tourism Corporation. "Across the state, craft breweries are offering an exceptional travel experience for beer lovers, outdoor lovers, and culinary enthusiasts. Virginia is fast becoming the prime East Coast destination for travelers looking for local flavor. August Craft Beer Month is the perfect opportunity to celebrate Virginia's growing craft beer culture and community of craft breweries."
"This is an exciting time to be involved with Virginia beer," said Michael Killelea, Chairman of the Virginia Craft Brewers Guild and head brewer at Center of the Universe Brewing Company. "Virginia is maturing into a true craft beer destination thanks to some forward-thinking folks in the General Assembly and the governor's office. We are looking forward to honoring and celebrating Virginia's craft beer throughout the month of August and recognizing the best-of-the-best at the centerpiece of Craft Beer Month, the Virginia Craft Brewers Festival."
The festival, which will take place on August 24 at Devils Backbone Brewery, is designed to celebrate and promote Virginia breweries to the public, give valuable feedback to the breweries by certified beer judges, and raise funds for the continued operation of the Virginia Craft Brewers Guild. During the craft beer competition, each brewery will submit up to three beers to be considered for the Virginia Craft Brewers Cup, presented by Virginia is for Lovers. The Virginia tourism office will then award the coveted cup to the winner of the best Virginia craft beer for 2013.
In addition to sponsoring the Virginia Craft Brewers Cup, the tourism office has created an interactive map on www.Virginia.org/craftbeer to help visitors find craft breweries open for tastings and tours and plan a visit. The site also features special events and Virginia craft beer travel packages throughout August.
Craft beer industry's impact on Virginia's economy
The craft beer industry has already made an impressive impact on the state's economy. Since the state passed a law last year allowing breweries to sell beer on site, the craft beer industry has propelled to new heights across Virginia, creating new jobs and helping to boost the economy. In early 2013, an economic study commissioned by the National Beer Wholesalers Association and the Beer Institute showed that the beer industry as a whole generates nearly 52,000 jobs in Virginia-accounting for $2.2 billion in wages and benefits. The industry also contributed $1.3 billion in the form of business, personal, and consumption taxes in 2012.
Additionally, the craft beer industry has proved to be an important community partner as members of the industry have initiated and supported alcohol awareness and education efforts, recycling programs, philanthropy programs, and efforts to preserve and protect the environment.
Virginia: A history of suds
Virginians have long appreciated the value of good beer. Capitalizing on the state's rich natural resources and robust economic landscape, Virginians have been brewing as far back as 1587, when colonists brewed ale using corn. The tradition continued as Virginia became a hub for hops production, inspiring some notable Virginians to join the hops-growing and home-brewing movements-including two of our nation's Founding Fathers, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. America's fourth president and Virginia statesman James Madison also encouraged the "manufacture of beer in every State in the Union."
Nearly 80 years ago, Virginia revolutionized the beer world once more when the first canned beers--Kreuger's Finest Beer and Kreuger's Cream Ale-were sold in Richmond in 1935.
Since 1990, Virginia has brought home 82 medals from the Great American Beer Festival, making it the 13th in the country for most wins at the competition.

TEAMS: New York Yankees
Via NESN:
Alex Rodriguez joked Wednesday night that when he was replaced by Raul Ibanez in the ninth inning of the Yankees' divisional series game, that it might have been the first time he had been pinch hit for since high school.
One day later, the Yankees third baseman wasn't the only "A Rod" who saw his name absent from a lineup. A race horse from New York named "A Rod" was scratched from a race at Belmont Park. The horse was slated to run out of the seventh position in a Thursday afternoon race at 4:02 p.m. with a race purse of $54,000.
According to Equibase.com, the 3-year-old has brought in $58,155 for its career. To put that in some sort of perspective, A-Rod the baseball player made more than $237,000 per game played this season. That's a lot especially considering Rodriguez is not the thoroughbred he used to be (we're just horsing around, human A-Rod).
It's not the first time that Rodriguez has been linked to a horse before. He also used to reportedly date Madonna. Oh, and there was that whole centaur thing.

11 Mindfulness Tricks to Get Eating Under Control
When you're staring at say, a plate full of cookies, walking away sounds good in theory, but in practice feels like just about the hardest thing ever. No more, thanks to these science-driven, expert-proven strategies for munching in moderation.

Learn to recognize true hunger
Sometimes we eat when we're famished, but many times we chow down because we're upset, bored, or enticed by something that looks good. "Hunger is what you feel in your stomach when it's empty," says Busis. "But if what you feel is coming from your mouth or head, then it's probably not hunger." She recommends taking the "tofu test"—if a block of tofu sounds appetizing, you are likely truly hungry.

I have watched my daughter andher husband go through this same scenario. They both have college degrees, they have both been responsible about saving and trying to plan for their future. They have both lost their jobs. My son-in-law is an attorney and cannot find a job. Most of us are just a pyacheck, a major car repair, or an unexpected illness away from this happening to us.
