"Toronto No Gi's Jiu Jistu classes are perfect for beginner basics. They teach this amazing, reliable form of modern self-defence in comprehensive manner. The class is perfect for everyone, focusing on basic conditioning, skill-building, and improved coordination. They encourage students to improve at their own pace, as everyone learns differently, and the attention to detail is second to none. Their teaching style is also great for advanced practitioners looking tighten their basics and techniques" - Fransisco. City of Toronto Water Works.
If you're wondering whether to start Gi or No Gi, the choice is yours, and the debate rages both ways. However, consider what Firas Zahabi, head coach of the world famous Tri Star gym, and coach to UFC super stars George St. Pierre, Rory MacDonald, Frankie Edgar, Ivan Mejibar, Francis Carmont, and Jon Jones says, "beginners should start *without* the Gi". You can see the full article by clicking here!
No Gi (pronounced no ghee) Jiu Jitsu derives from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or BJJ. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), which was brought to Brazil in the early 20th century from the Japanese martial art of Kodokan Judo, which was called Jiu Jitsu before a name change to Judo. No Gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (or No Gi BJJ) is a combat sport, martial art, and efficient, effective self-defense system that focuses on ground fighting.
The objective is to neutralize and control a much larger opponent with leverage and technique, rather than strength; but mostly we learn and have fun.
In addition to incredibly reliable self-defense and mental workout offered, the body workout BJJ gives you is unreal. You will experience increased stamina and improve body tone. It is truly a complete self-defense system and fitness program rolled into one.
"What I like most about Toronto No Gi is how quickly you learn, and how friendly and warm the people are. Different from other schools, you get plenty of one on one time. They quickly erased any apprehensions I had, and I immediately felt at home. The people at Toronto No Gi are amazing, supportive, and they work hard!" - Anda. Graphic Designer.
Also because of its incredible effectiveness and reliability, BJJ, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, is also practiced by military personnel around the world.
World renowned MMA fighter Jake Shields proclaims he's only trained in a gi for 4 hours of his life, and has dominated top gi players, including Damien Mia. Click here!
These trail blazing pioneers concluded that No Gi BJJ training exclusively was indeed better for developing muscle memory instincts with regard MMA (Mixed Martial Arts).
Our teaching pedagogy here at Toronto No Gi in Toronto, which also serves Uptown, Midtown and North York, guarantees that those focused on No GI BJJ or MMA training can rely on said muscle memory instincts in the various applications specific to self-defense, BJJ competitions, MMA, or just plain, simple in the gym fun - instincts that are not training clothes specific.
Also, if you want to try Gi, we have Gi classes too! :)
"Training at Toronto No Gi BJJ with Ian had a tremendous, and positive impact in my life. I've been hooked by both the style of martial arts and awe-inspiring environment Toronto No Gi BJJ offers. Within months of training No Gi BJJ, I have easily controlled people who have outweighed me by as much as 100 pounds! Achieving Gold in BJJ in many tournaments including the Ontario Provincials BJJ Championships is all thanks to Ian's great teaching style and the gyms positive environment. Thanks, Ian!" - Carlos. Founder NeoJits.

Children's LiteratureThis is yet another title for beginning readers. The series "We Both Read" is designed to be read by parent and child together. Little icons at the top of each page indicate who is to be the reader. This seems unnecessary as the difference in print size on each page makes it obvious who is supposed to be reading. Children's current interests are linked to possible future careers covering everything from scientists to clowns to teachers to lifeguards. Interesting color photographs show adults and children interacting in many situations. They definitely reinforce the idea that all work is important and worthwhile. This series should be an aid for parents wanting to assist their children with reading development. 2005, Treasure Bay, Ages 5 to 6.

Beyond 2015 media statement: Reaction to the OWG's Focus Areas Document
Download the pdf version of the March 3, 2014 Media Release here.
Media release: Beyond 2015's reaction to the Open Working Group's 'Focus Areas Document'
The participating organisations of the Beyond 2015 campaign congratulate the members of the Open Working Group (OWG) on releasing their 'Focus Areas Document' for the post-2015 agenda. We welcome this positive first step, which we recognise as a 'pre-zero draft'. We know it has not been easy to arrive here, and we strongly encourage Member States to maintain the high levels of engagement and enthusiasm for the process.
Beyond 2015's reaction to the Focus Areas Document welcomes the recognition that multidimensional poverty eradication is of top priority for the post-2015 agenda. However, we are concerned by a number of issues:
- The OWG's over-emphasis on growth at all costs. Beyond 2015 insists that the post-2015 agenda must radically transform the way in which the purpose of the economy is understood, so that it exists to serves people and planet.
- The lack of commitment to a universal agenda which applies to developing and industrialised countries alike. Member States and civil society have agreed that the post-2015 agenda must be universal. The next phase of work must explicitly recognise the need for a universal agenda.
- The need for a stronger focus on inequality and human rights. The OWG must present clear recommendations for ensuring that the Sustainable Development Goals are pursued equitably, rather than leaving the poorest and most vulnerable behind. Actively reducing inequalities between social groups regarding economic, social, political and environmental inequalities is necessarily ambitious, but cultural inequalities and human rights must also be taken into account.
Co-Chair of Beyond 2015, Mwangi Waituru of the Seed Institute, Kenya, says: 'We need to remind the OWG that expectations are high. The narrative produced by the High Level Panel raised the bar. It is now incumbent upon the OWG to spell out how this will be operationalized through a set of goals. It is the OWG that makes or breaks the narrative. We, as a generation, must live up to this opportunity.'
Beyond 2015 calls on members of the OWG to raise the level of ambition in the negotiations, to agree a strong set of universal and truly transformational Sustainable Development Goals that reflect the voices of those most affected by poverty and injustice. Anything less is simply unacceptable.
For more information and interviews please contact:
Mwangi Waituru, Beyond 2015 Co-Chair, The Seed Institute, Kenya, firstname.lastname@example.com
Neva Frecheville, Beyond 2015 Co-Chair, CAFOD, UK, email@example.com
Hanna Hansson, Beyond 2015 Sweden, Concord Sweden, email@example.com
Leo Williams, Beyond 2015 International Coordinator, Brussels, email@example.com
Notes to Editors
1. Beyond 2015 is a global civil society campaign, pushing for a strong and legitimate successor framework to the Millennium Development Goals. The campaign, created in 2010, is built on a diverse, global base, ranging from small community based organisations to international NGOs, academics and trade unions. A founding principle of the campaign is that it is a partnership between civil society organisations from the 'North' and the 'South' – bringing together almost 1000 civil society organisations from developing, emerging and developed economies.
2. Beyond 2015 is working closely with the International Forum of National NGO platform (IFP), Climate Action Network International (CAN I) and Participate in the framework of a joint project aiming to collectively represent the needs of those most affected by poverty and injustice at the national, regional and international levels throughout the intergovernmental negotiations around the post-2015 agenda.
3. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are eight international development goals that were established following the Millennium Summit of the United Nations in 2000, following the adoption of the United Nations Millennium Declaration. All 189 United Nations member states at the time (there are 193 currently) and at least 23 international organizations committed to help achieve the Millennium Development Goals by 2015, the goals are:
- To eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
- To achieve universal primary education
- To promote gender equality and empowering women
- To reduce child mortality rates
- To improve maternal health
- To combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases
- To ensure environmental sustainability
- To develop a global partnership for development
3. The MDGs expire at the end of 2015 and discussions are now underway to develop the framework to replace them.
4. The Open Working Group (OWG) was established in January 2013 by the General Assembly to steer the formulation of the proposal on sustainable development goals (SDGs). The Focus Areas Document, released on February 21, 2014, does not constitute a zero draft of the report that the Group has been mandated to submit to the General Assembly at its sixty-eighth session. While the document is recommended for further consideration, the focus areas identified are not exhaustive and do not preclude inclusion of other issues discussed within the context of the thematic clusters but that may not have been captured here. On release of the Focus Areas Document, the OWG stated, 'It is our view that the international community could realize greater impacts of the much sought transformative change if further actions are taken in these focus areas of sustainable development. This is necessary to build prosperous, peaceful and resilient societies that also protect the planet. […] The Co-chairs ask Member States to begin, based on our document, the serious business of identifying SDGs and accompanying targets at the ninth session of the Open Working Group in early March.'

there options have gone away.
We were at a game on 7/23/16 and had high hopes bases on this app and Miller Park's web site. Unfortunately, they no longer offer the turkey sandwich. The gluten free list at guest relations was extremely limited (mustard, sauerkraut and other condiments). I explained how upsetting this was since I couldn't find food for my 5 year old and they helped me get her a baked potato. So they were nice but their info is NOT up to date.
I have CD and I ended up getting a certified gluten free turkey sandwich from the Brewers grab n' go. Best sandwich I've had in a while.
Lots of options. Get the list at Guest Services. Chicken Nachos were awesome on the 200 level. Grab n go is best option and makes you plan a little.
Lots of good options around the park, there is an entire GF noted stand behind section 117. awesome!
Lots of fun options!
When you get to park go to guest services & ask for GF list. I was surprised at all the choices. Had a brat, waffle fries, cheese fries, popcorn from the red wagon with real butter a GF chocolate cupcake from the "Grab n Go cart & a Pepsi. Had no problems & enjoyed the evening.
I went to the tgif and was told my meal was gf and found out after I ate it it was not. the staff is not trained and I would not suggest going here based on this experience. if I ask 3 separate times if gf then I would hope they could get it right.

When the ladyboys get up and dance you can see the Chinese tourists especially the women are very intrigued with what's going on. Once the real women get back dancing the ladyboys do walk around looking for someone to buy them a drink, just be polite and they will move on when they see your are not interested.
There are some very attractive women here and they can dance well so you wont be disappointed, the music is very loud but it didn't really bother me like other Go-

Takeda insists that it marketed Actos properly and that the drug's benefits far outweigh its side effects, but the drug maker in 2015 settled about 9,000 lawsuits for no less than $2.37 billion. Plaintiffs say they -- or loved ones -- developed bladder cancer or other serious maladies after long-term use of the medication.
More than 10,000 were filed lawsuits alleging Actos injuries in state and federal courts across the United States, and a large number of plaintiffs will collect damages from drug maker Takeda Pharmaceuticals Co.
The Japanese manufacturer lost five of the first eight bellwether trials that linked its best-selling Type 2 diabetes medication to bladder cancer, although two verdicts later were overturned on appeal. The momentum of the litigation led Takeda to settle approximately 9,000 claims nationwide for between $2.37 billion and $2.7 billion.
If you or a loved one has been injured by Actos, you may also be eligible for compensation through a settlement or a jury verdict. But your claim will likely be vigorously contested by the drugmaker, so you should consider seeking help from an experienced Actos lawyer.
Takeda Agrees to $2.37 Billion Settlement
Takeda took a significant step in April 2015 by agreeing to a settlement that is among the largest Big Pharma agreements in U.S. history. The settlement could rise to $2.7 billion if size of the plaintiff class grows higher.
As part of the agreement, the drug maker maintained the position it has held for years — that Actos has many more benefits than it does negative side effects and that it did nothing wrong in the marketing of the medication.
More than 4,000 lawsuits that sat in a Multidistrict Litigation group in U.S. District Court in the Western District of Louisiana.
Terms of Settlement
According to the Master Settlement Agreement, the amount of money each claimant may be awarded will be calculated using a "Points Matrix." Each claim will be awarded points based on fulfilling certain criteria, and the more points awarded, the more money a claimant could receive.
Some of the criteria include:
- extent of injury and treatment
- age
- length of time a person took Actos
- dosage of Actos
- risk factors for bladder cancer, including smoking
Claimants may file to receive extra money from the Extraordinary Injury Fund if the injury or loss is severe enough.
Bellwether Trial Results in $9 Billion Punitive Damages Award
In April 2014, a federal jury in Louisiana slapped Takeda and Eli Lilly & Co. with a $9 billion punitive damages verdict. Terrence Allen, et ux v. Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America, Inc. was the first case to go to trial in the federal Actos multidistrict litigation (MDL). According to data gathered by Bloomberg News, the verdict is the seventh-largest punitive damages award in U.S. history.
Losing a bellwether trial often provides a good incentive for a drugmaker to cut its losses and begin settling remaining cases. But that may not be the case with Takeda because of the type and size of the award. While compensatory damages pay injured plaintiffs for their actual losses, the purpose of punitive verdicts is to deter and punish the defendant's conduct.
That may sound like a simple goal, but courts often disagree with how much juries award for punitive damages. Juries often lack clear instructions from the judge or have trouble applying instructions on how to calculate punitive awards. As a result, courts frequently reverse or reduce punitive verdicts. According to Bloomberg's data, before Allen, all of the 10 largest punitive verdicts against corporations were either thrown out or "substantially reduced."
Historic Award Likely to Be Reduced
Many experts expect a court to at least reduce the $9 billion award because of a 2003 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that excessive punitive damages awards are unconstitutional. As a general rule, the high court said, a punitive award must be proportional to any compensatory damages awarded to the plaintiff in a case.
Under the court's reasoning, punitive awards that are 10 times the compensatory award are acceptable only in limited cases. To put this case in perspective, the Allen jury's punitive damages award is roughly 6,000 times its compensatory damages award of about $1.5 million. So it's likely the $9 billion will be reduced, especially since Takeda wasted no time announcing its plans to appeal following the verdict.
The jury found that Takeda was responsible for $6 billion of the punitive verdict, while Lilly was responsible for $3 billion. Lilly, which marketed Actos, also announced that it plans to contest the verdict. Takeda has agreed to cover Lilly's litigation losses, so it's not surprising that the two companies have the same litigation strategy.
Verdict Provides Clues for Other Cases
Regardless how much of the punitive verdict survives, the case gives important signs for the more than 2,900 cases remaining in the MDL and for Actos lawsuits pending in state courts. In January, the judge overseeing the MDL ruled the jury could hear evidence that Takeda destroyed documents and emails relevant to the case. As a result, the jurors could infer the destroyed evidence supported the plaintiff's claim that Takeda concealed Actos' health risks.
Based on the verdict, it appears the jury did just that and found the drug giants violated their duty to properly warn consumers about their product's risks. By awarding punitive damages in addition to compensatory damages, it concluded the defendants' conduct was negligent and reckless.
If the judge presiding over the federal MDL continues to let jurors take evidence spoliation into account, Takeda could face more unfavorable verdicts and could eventually become more willing to settle Actos claims.
Compensatory Damages also Available for Patient Losses
Allen's $1.5 million compensatory damages award has not sparked as much controversy as the punitive damages award. But Takeda and Lilly still plan to contest both compensatory and punitive damages awards with the trial judge and, if necessary, with appeals courts. Although the companies have expressed sympathy for the plaintiffs' suffering, they still say they've done nothing wrong.
But of course, Terrence Allen and his wife, Susan, disagree. Mr. Allen began taking Actos in 2006 to treat Type 2 diabetes. In 2011, he was diagnosed with bladder cancer. A few months after his diagnosis, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that taking Actos for more than one year had been linked with bladder cancer. Drugmakers have a legal duty to warn against such risks. Injured plaintiffs like Allen say they would not have taken Actos and been exposed to the cancer risk if Takeda and Eli Lilly had adequately warned them.
The federal jury hearing the New York couple's case agreed that Actos contributed to Allen's cancer.
Plaintiffs like Allen who are awarded compensatory damages may use the awards to cover:
- Medical expenses (doctor's bills, surgery and hospital bills)
- Costs of ongoing care (caregiving services)
- To make up for lost income
- Loss of consortium (disruption of relationship with spouse)
Allen was the fourth U.S. Actos trial. Takeda managed to avoid paying damages in the other three cases, which were tried in state court in 2013. In one of those cases, a Las Vegas jury decided the company was not liable for Actos injuries. However, in the remaining two cases, the juries awarded damages to Actos plaintiffs.
Takeda successfully had those verdicts tossed for reasons unrelated to the company's alleged wrongdoing:
- A California jury awarded $6.5 million to Jack Cooper, a telephone company worker who was diagnosed with bladder cancer after taking Actos. Takeda convinced the judge to throw out the verdict because of "inherently unreliable" expert testimony from a doctor.
- In 2013, a Maryland jury awarded $1.7 million to the family of Diep An, a former Army translator, who died from bladder cancer after taking Actos. Takeda convinced the judge to throw out that verdict because the jury also found that Mr. An's smoking history contributed to his death. Under Maryland's contributory negligence law, product makers can avoid paying any damages if the plaintiff's conduct may have contributed to his death.
These cases demonstrate that juries are willing to rule in favor of plaintiffs who have been injured by Actos. But they also show that each case is different, and there are many factors that affect the outcome of an individual case. So if Actos has injured you or your loved one, it's wise to talk to a qualified attorney as soon as possible about your legal options. You may be eligible for compensation through a verdict or settlement. Drugwatch Patient Advocates can help you find qualified attorneys to handle your case.

This is akin to always having cobra anti-venom whenever you handle cobra snakes. Another approach would be to not handle the snake in the first place.
Unlike fresh anti-venom with a cobra bite, a helmet may not help with a board leash impact.
Conventional wisdom is to ditch the leash for kiteboarders if circumstances permit. If circumstances don't permit ditching the leash prepare to get bashed someday. Perhaps even through or around your helmet.

Let Hunger Be Your Guide? Being Hungry Before a Meal is Associated with Healthier Levels of Post-Meal Blood Glucose
David Gal
University of Illinois at Chicago
December 18, 2015
Journal of the Association for Consumer Research, 1:1, 2016, Forthcoming
Accumulating evidence suggests that when people eat might be as important for their health as what or how much they eat. Consumers initiate eating behavior in response to a number of factors including time of day, food availability, and hunger. The present research examines whether feeling hungry might reflect a time at which it is relatively healthy for individuals to initiate eating. Specifically, the present research examines whether differences in hunger predict differences in an important health measure, namely post-meal blood glucose. The results show that post-meal blood glucose is highest when people are not at all hungry and relatively lower when people are moderately hungry or very hungry. When people are very hungry, post-meal glucose is not lower and possibly slightly higher than when people are moderately hungry. The findings are consistent with the hypothesis that, from a health standpoint, it is beneficial to eat when moderately hungry.

Early history[edit]
Erickson was born in Midland, Texas, on October 20, 1943, to Joseph W. Erickson and Anna Beth Curry Erickson. The youngest of three children, he had a brother Charles and sister Ellen Sparks.
His paternal grandfather, Charles Erickson, immigrated to the United States from Sweden at the age of twelve, settled in the Kansas City area, and operated an independent grocery store until his retirement.
The Curry side of the family had deep roots in Texas history. A great-great grandmother, Martha Sherman, was murdered in 1860 near the Parker-Palo Pinto County line, west of Weatherford, by a band of Comanche Indians led by Chief Peta Nocona. To avenge the death of Mrs. Sherman, Governor Sam Houston dispatched Captain Sul Ross and his Texas Rangers to pursue the Comanches to the Pease River watershed, near present-day Crowell.
After a brief skirmish, the Rangers captured a green-eyed woman who had been taken captive as a child, and whose story is well known to students of Texas history: Cynthia Ann Parker, the mother of Quanah Parker. The scout for the mission was young Charles Goodnight, later to become famous as the founder of the JA Ranch in Palo Duro Canyon.
Another set of Erickson's great-great grandparents were among a colony of Quakers who established the town of Estacado in 1879, the first Anglo settlement on the Staked Plains near present-day Lubbock. Anna Beth Curry's grandparents began ranching in Crosby and Lubbock Counties in the mid-1880s, and later, her father, Buck Curry, operated a ranch near Seminole in Gaines County. [For further reading, see Erickson's Prairie Gothic]
Erickson's parents left Midland in 1946 and moved to Perryton in the Panhandle, the farthest-north county seat in Texas, 550 miles northwest of Austin. There, Joe Erickson established his own business on Main Street, dealing in insurance, real estate, and abstracting. He was also a classically trained pianist and played the organ at the First Baptist Church.
Anna Beth devoted her time and talent to the home and her family. She made a serious study of nutrition and food preparation, and often read Bible stories to Erickson when he was young. In his book "Story Craft", Erickson credits his mother for being his first and best writing teacher, even though she never wrote anything longer than a letter. She was a gifted storyteller with a gentle, earthy sense of humor, and nourished his imagination on tales about the ranchers and cowboys in his family.
When he was five years old, she told him something that stayed with him throughout his life: "God has given you a talent. You must guard it and use it wisely." Decades later he wrote, "Maybe that's something every mother says to every child, but I believed her."[2]
Erickson grew up in a old two-story house on Amherst Street, and enjoyed an uncluttered childhood during a period of American innocence.
Erickson started first grade in the Perryton school system and graduated from high school in the class of 1962. He ran track and played varsity football, sang in the choir, played bassoon in the band and drums in the stage band, and taught himself how to play the five-string banjo. He participated in speech events (debate and extemporaneous speaking), and played lead roles in one-act play and senior play. He had little interest in grades and has described himself as "a lazy student."
He was also a slow, reluctant reader.
- "My parents placed a high value on reading, starting with the King James Bible, and one whole wall of our living room was filled, floor to ceiling, with books. But I was an outside kid and didn't have the patience to be a reader. That changed, briefly, when I discovered The Adventures of Tom Sawyer in the fourth grade. That was the one book I truly loved. I read it several times, then read Huckleberry Finn. I was fascinated by the way Twain played with language and used regional dialects. But what amazed me most was that Twain allowed the reader to laugh. Reading didn't have to be drudgery. Twain didn't allow it."
His talent for writing went unnoticed until his senior year in high school. "Our parents and teachers had been preoccupied with trying to survive droughts, the Great Depression, and World War II. It never occurred to them, or to us, that a kid from Perryton could aspire to being an author." But in his senior year, his English teacher, Annie Love, made the class write an original poem, and Erickson found that it was easy for him. For the rest of the year, he stayed up late at night, listening to Bach recordings and writing poems for Mrs. Love.
"They were dark, brooding poems on the meaning of Life and Death, and I would be embarrassed if I read them today. But Mrs. Love saw a spark of talent and nurtured it with praise. At certain times in a writer's life, it's extremely important that somebody says, 'That is really beautiful!' She did that with me and it gave me a reason to continue writing. I wrote for her."
Erickson took his first year of college at the University of Denver. "I wanted to get out of Texas and see a bigger world." At DU, he shared a dorm floor with boys from Long Island, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New England; Christians and Jews, fraternity boys, atheists, socialists, and the first Afro-Americans he'd ever encountered. On weekends, he did volunteer work with a poor family in Denver and at a mental hospital in Pueblo.
By the middle of his freshman year, Erickson had gotten involved in the Civil Rights movement, which was just beginning to stir. In March of 1963, he joined a racially mixed group of students who spent a week in Mississippi. They visited the offices of the White Citizens' Council, met Governor Ross Barnett, and spent an afternoon with the field secretary of the Jackson NAACP. His name was Medgar Evers, and three months later, he was assassinated in his front yard.
Erickson spent the summer of 1963 working in a Methodist church in East Harlem, and returned in 1965 to work in a church in the Bedford-Stuyvesant district of Brooklyn. "I loved New York and was awed by its size and energy. I felt comfortable in New York, and admired the toughness and resilience of its citizens. At that time, I thought I would end up living there."
In the fall of 1963, he transferred to the University of Texas at Austin. [1] "At UT, I was forced to study for the first time in my life. I somehow managed to get accepted in the Plan II honors program, and it was a difficult course of study. I had to work very hard to maintain a B average." He studied philosophy under John Silber, classical literature under William Arrowsmith and Donald Carne-Ross, history under Paul F. Boller, Jr., and William Goetzman.
He also found opportunities to develop his writing skills and did well in courses that required essays. He took writing classes, wrote and produced several plays, composed poetry at night, and wrote a weekly editorial column for The Daily Texan. "I had not evolved into a disciplined writer, but I was writing."
In his senior year of college, he met and began dating a beautiful young lady from Dallas, Kristine Dykema, whom he married a year later. They were both taking summer courses in August 1966 and were on campus the day Charles Whitman went on his shooting rampage and murdered more than a dozen people on the UT Mall.
After graduating from UT in August 1966, Erickson moved on to Cambridge, Massachusetts, and attended Harvard Divinity School on a fellowship from the Fund For Theological Education. At Harvard, he took courses under Krister Stendahl, Gordon Kauffman, H. Richard Niebuhr, Harvey Cox, and David Riesman. After he and Kris took their marriage vows in Dallas, they drove to Boston and Erickson continued his studies at HDS. He was accepted into a small class on fiction writing, taught by Professor Theodore Morrison, and began his first attempts at writing short stories.
Erickson had considered going into the ministry, but by the end of his second year, he had begun to suspect that that theology was not his natural language, and that his future lay elsewhere—perhaps as a writer.
- "My marriage to Kris brought discipline and meaning into my life. I took a year-long course on fiction writing at Harvard and began writing every day. What I wrote wasn't good and none of it has survived, but the discipline of writing every day was the first step toward becoming a professional. Professional writers have professional habits."

Erickson left HDS in May 1968, three hours short of a master's degree, and he and Kris moved back to Texas. In Austin, he worked for two years in an inter-racial ministry with churches in North Austin. In June 1970, they loaded their possessions in a two-wheel trailer and drove north to Perryton to visit his parents. "Somehow, we never got around to leaving," he recalls. Erickson took a job as a farm hand, tended bar in the local country club, and worked for a cattle-feeding operation. Every morning, he went to his office in the garage and wrote for three or four hours.
During the years 1974 to 1981, Erickson worked as a ranch cowboy in Oklahoma and Texas. There, he found a balance between hard physical work and the intense, concentrated effort of writing. Every morning between 4:30 and 5:30 he walked to his office in a bunk house, and put in his three or four hours at the typewriter. He wrote novels, short stories, articles, plays, essays, and book reviews. When he sent them off to publishers, most came back with rejection slips. He spent an entire year writing a thousand-page historical novel that has never been published.
After enduring hundreds of rejections, Erickson finally found a home for Through Time and the Valley, a nonfiction account of a 150-mile horseback trip he made down the Canadian River valley in Texas. (Shoal Creek Publishers, 1978). This small success was followed in 1980 by Panhandle Cowboy (University of Nebraska Press) and The Modern Cowboy (University of Nebraska Press, 1981).
He also found an outlet for his articles (mostly about cowboying and ranch life) in such non-literary journals as Livestock Weekly, The Cattleman,[3] Prorodeo Sports News, Texas Highways, Western Horseman, and The Dallas Morning News. At last he was drawing some income from his writing, but the four novels he had finished continued to harvest a crop of rejection slips.
Hank the Cowdog[edit]
By the winter of 1982, he had reached a dead end.
- "I was working in the snow as a carpenter's assistant. I had a wife and two small children, and Kris was pregnant with our third child. It seemed that everyone who knew anything about 'literature' was sending a message that I should find another line of work. A sensible man would have followed their advice. I decided to start my own publishing company in our garage in Perryton, Texas, a town that didn't even have a bookstore."
He quit his job, borrowed two thousand dollars from a local bank, and brought out a collection of fourteen short stories he had written for The Cattleman[4] and Western Horseman, a thin trade paperback called The Devil In Texas and Other Cowboy Tales. To find an audience, he ran ads in livestock magazines and read his stories aloud to any audience that needed a free program. He set up a booth at rodeos, county fairs, trade shows, saddle shops, and livestock auctions. At every stop, he sold books. The first printing of The Devil In Texas sold out in six weeks.
One of the stories he read aloud to audiences was called "Confessions of a Cowdog," the very first appearance of Hank the Cowdog. Audiences loved that story and began telling the author, "You need to do more with that dog!" The thought that there might be a kind of magic in this ranch mutt and his dingbat companion, Drover, had never occurred to Erickson, but he followed the advice of the people who were buying the books. He wrote The Original Adventures of Hank the Cowdog, and brought it out through Maverick Books in the spring of 1983.
Again, the first printing sold out in a matter of weeks, but not to children. "In the beginning, I wasn't doing programs in schools and never intended the story to be for children. My original audience consisted of adults, most of them involved in agriculture. I knew nothing about children's literature, and still don't."
Hank was a hit from the beginning, in a tiny world composed of small agricultural communities in the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles, and once again, the audience said, "You need to do more with that dog!" Erickson had never thought of writing a series and was unsure whether he could come up with a second book, but he gave it a try. He wrote the second Hank book, The Further Adventures, in two weeks. The book sold well and Erickson wrote the third Hank episode, It's a Dog's Life.
From the start, Erickson intended for the stories to be read aloud, and one of the unique features of the series is that he has done them all in the audio-book format, performing all the character voices himself and composing two original songs for each episode. "Ours was a small, boot-strap, family operation. I couldn't afford to hire actors or musicians, so I had to learn to do it all myself." In 2015, a fan of the audio books reported that he had counted 150 character voices in the series.
The Hank series has become the longest-running series of children's audios in America, and in 1996 the author won the Audie Award for the best children's audio book of the year, beating out titles from Disney, Random House, and the biggest audio publishers in the country.
Kris Erickson[edit]
Kris played an extremely important role in Erickson's career from the start. In the early years of their marriage, she encouraged him to follow his dream of being a writer and never complained that, for fifteen years, it produced very little in the way of income or worldly possessions. She had an extraordinary gift for transforming any humble dwelling into a home filled with love, warmth, and meaning.
She had no fear of the unknown and untried. When he needed extra cowboy help, she saddled up and rode. When he needed a photographer to illustrate his articles and nonfiction books, she bought a camera, learned how to use it, and developed her own pictures in a homemade darkroom.
When he needed an editor, she accepted the thankless job of saying, "This isn't as funny as you think." She served as his partner in the early days of Maverick Book: filling mail, answering the phone, and handling book sales at his public appearances. When he began recording songs for the Hank audio books, she taught herself how to play the mandolin, sang harmony and solo vocals, and performed with him on stage.
Erickson often tells an audience of school children, "If you love the Hank books, you should give my wife a hug, because without her, there wouldn't be any."
He and Kris have three grown children: Scot (1974), Ashley Wilson (1978), and Mark (1982).
CBS Storybreak[edit]
Although the Hank books began as a regional phenomenon, CBS television heard about them and brought out a thirty-minute cartoon of the first book. It aired in May 1985 as part of a series called "CBS Storybreak," with Bob Keeshan as the host. Naturally, Erickson was delighted to get the national exposure.
Only later did he notice that the "Storybreak" presentation removed all traces of the family that is central to his stories: Loper, Sally May, and their two children, with Slim Chance working on the ranch as a hired hand. "I was stunned. Why would they take the family out of my story?"
This was his first exposure to the social-political agendas that are often embedded in popular culture: the rewriting of a work of literature so that it delivers an almost-invisible political message, one that the original author never intended. For more on this subject, see Story Craft: Reflections on Faith, Culture, and Writing.
Gary Rinker[edit]
The success of the Hank series brought growth to Maverick Books, and with it the usual problems of a small business: bigger facilities, more employees, and financing an inventory that grew larger with each new title. In 1986, Erickson hired a young accounting major, Gary Rinker, who had just graduated from Wayland University, and Gary took over the day-to-day operations of Maverick Books.
One of his first tasks was to analyze a 32-page contract from Disney Pictures, which might have led to a feature-length animated Hank movie, a very exciting prospect—except that it would have given all rights to the characters to Disney, with the author receiving no royalties whatever. Young Rinker and Erickson's father said, "No way." Erickson agreed, and the dream of seeing Hank as a Disney movie gave way to the routine business of selling one book at a time.
Hank the Cowdog as a series for children[edit]
It was around this time that Maverick Books began getting calls from teachers and librarians, who reported that children were bringing the Hank books to school and loved reading them. Like Mark Twain, who never considered Tom Sawyer a book for kids, Erickson learned from his audience that he was the author of a children's book series.
After he did a performance for a thousand librarians at Sam Houston State University in 1986, word spread rapidly, and the circle of Hank readers moved far beyond its original home in the Texas Panhandle. Hank became a staple in school libraries, not only in Texas but in other parts of the country as well.
Hank was becoming a star and Maverick Books was not set up to meet the growing demand, so Gary Rinker negotiated a contract with Texas Monthly Press in Austin, making TMP the publisher and distributor of the books. Several years later, Gulf Publishing Company bought TMP and Hank's home moved to Allen Parkway, just west of downtown Houston. In 1998, Erickson moved the series to Viking-Penguin in New York.
In 2011, Hank returned to Perryton and a new warehouse on the west edge of town. "I never wanted to put my fate into the hands of any publisher or entertainment company," says Erickson. "The Hank books started out in a small community in the heartland, and we brought them back home."
Today, Maverick Books serves as World Headquarters of Hank the Cowdog, and maintains the official Hank website www.hankthecowdog.com, with a complete on-line store, a blog, and links to social media sites.
Hank and the schools[edit]
For more than thirty years, Erickson and Hank have maintained a close relationship with parents, librarians, and teachers. "I'm a father and grandfather, a citizen of a small community, and a member of a church. I don't write trash for other peoples' children, and we've established a brand name my readers can trust. We don't 'push the envelope' or peddle hidden agendas. Innocent laughter is a rare commodity in the postmodern world, and that's what we try to achieve."
Educators were quick to note this quality in the Hank series, and also that children loved reading the stories, even kids who thought they hated to read, including children with autism and reading disabilities such as dyslexia. Erickson began getting invitations to do author visits in schools and has appeared in thousands of schools, from Fairbanks, Alaska, to Key West, Florida. He has also been a popular speaker at conventions of teachers, librarians, and homeschoolers.
Hank musical comedies for the stage[edit]
In 2002, Erickson realized that it was only a short step from the kind of performances he was doing in schools (songs and readings) to musical comedies performed on stage by a cast of actors, and he adapted the Hank stories into eight musical comedies: "Calling Earl," "The Curse of the Incredible Priceless Corncob," "Lost In the Dark Unchanted Forest," "Every Dog Has His Day," "Thank You, Lord, For Making Gals," "The Missing Cat," and "Scardy Cats."
The plays have been performed by theater groups in Arlington, Houston, Plano, San Antonio, Amarillo, Round Rock, Perryton, and Snyder, Texas; Ashville, North Carolina; Butler County Community College in Kansas; Tulsa and Oklahoma City, and Dollywood in Tennessee. In 2010 and 2013 Houston's Main Street Theater [2] did a traveling show and performed Hank plays in hundreds of schools in the Greater Houston area.
In 2014 an entertainment company in China asked Erickson to write a play based on the first book. It will be translated into Mandarin and performed in Beijing and other cities in 2015.
Information about the plays can be found on the Hank website.
Who Is Hank?[edit]
Hank the Cowdog has become an enduring and beloved character in American literature, and just as Arthur Conan Doyle was asked about the sources for Sherlock Holmes and Mark Twain about Tom Sawyer, Erickson is often asked, "Who is Hank, and where did he come from?"
The original model for Hank was an Australian Shepherd that lived on a cattle ranch in Oklahoma. "He had a good heart, he wanted to help with the cattle work, he thought he was Head of Ranch Security, but he wasn't very smart and never understood why the cowboys were mad at him all the time." Over the years, Hank has acquired traits of other dogs that have shared the Ericksons' home, and the author is emphatic that "Hank is a dog, not a human dressed up in a dog suit. Humans share some of his flaws, but I get my ideas from watching dogs."
Books by John R. Erickson[edit]
As of November 2016, there are 68 books in the Hank the Cowdog series, 74 audio titles, and 6 CDs of music from the audios. Those titles can be viewed on the Hank website, www.hankthecowdog.com.

We find that firms behave consistently with how their CEOs behave personally in the context of leverage choices. Analyzing data on CEOs' leverage in their most recent primary home purchases, we find a positive, economically relevant, robust relation between corporate and personal leverage in the cross-section and when examining CEO turnovers. The results are consistent with an endogenous matching of CEOs to firms based on preferences, as well as with CEOs imprinting their personal preferences on the firms they manage, particularly when governance is weaker. Besides enhancing our understanding of the determinants of corporate capital structures, the broader contribution of the paper is to show that CEOs' personal behavior can, in part, explain corporate financial behavior of the firms they manage.

The Kills have broke upon US shores riding a massive wave of hype that would have one believe they were the second coming of the White Stripes (as if another was needed) only with a P.J. Harvey-type providing earthy, soulful vocals. After hearing the first two songs of Keep on Your Mean Side, one can certainly see where such an assessment would have come from: "Superstition" and "Cat Claw" marry catchy sputtering garage riffs courtesy of "Hotel" to the throaty, assertive vocals of "VV", creating a stern yet seductive sound promising both the sugary thrills of the White Stripes and the searing revelations of Rid of Me-era Harvey.
But as the album wears on, it also wears thin, and the transparency of the Kills' pose becomes more and more apparent. Sure, VV has an intriguing, expressive voice, but has she got anything to say? And sure, Hotel gets a cool spring-reverb sound out of his guitar/amp combo, but can he even play? Even those not usually concerned with technique might find themselves impatient when the pattern established by such tedious and clumsy filler tracks like "Kissy Kissy", (where the two of them repeat the phrase "It's been a long time coming" over and over again on top of the most pedestrian blues riffing this side of Jon Spencer) and "Fried My Little Brains" (ditto, except the title phrase is repeated) becomes the norm for the album. A listener might think for a moment that something elemental and challenging is going on, that perhaps the listener doesn't quite understand on the first listen, but hearing the record more yields nothing but further frustration, and the growing sense that the Kills are trying to dupe and confound us with so much attitude that we will be afraid to criticize their plodding, unimaginative music.
Their refusal to stock their songs with more than rudimentary changes seems more like stubbornness or incompetence than determined adherence to their artistic purpose. Unlike someone like Cat Power, the Kills make the least of their limitations—rather than magnifying the importance of each choice, the simplicity of the Kills reveals how little thought went into any choice. Put on any of Cat Power's albums after listening to Keep on Your Mean Side, and it becomes immediately clear how silly and shallow the Kills are at this point. The Kills want to come across like the sludgy dope-rockers Royal Trux, whose heroin addiction was so palpable in the grooves of their records that they should never be played in rehab centers. But in fact the Kills are much more like a My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult for the garage-blues revivalist set, sharing that leaden and overrated band's strategy of suffusing their music with enough surly mugging and gratuitous obscenity (cf. "Black Rooster", which repeats line "You want to fuck and fight in the basement" ad nauseum, or the self-explanatory "Fuck the People") to distract listeners from their utter lack of substance.
Clearly the Kills take inspiration from blues masters like John Lee Hooker, who himself treads a fine line between being mesmerizing and being excruciatingly boring. But blues geniuses achieve some kind of climactic apotheosis from their relentless repetition; what seemed simple and self-evident marvelously flowers into something richly complex; the refrains take on additional resonance and significance with each utterance, allowing listeners to hear new meanings and detect new shades of emotion with each phrasing. But no such additional shades of meaning are possible for cliches like "The monkey on my back makes me talk like that", and the aforementioned "Hey, fuck the people"—these only grow more hackneyed and trivial the more we are hammered by them.
Of course, those without the patience or imagination to enjoy authentic blues music (real effort is required to close the cultural and temporal gaps inherent in blues, whereas many rock fans equate entertainment with effortless enjoyment) might find the Kills a satisfying facsimile: one can easily digest the empty calories of their greasy, ersatz-down-home fare. And perhaps, when the Kills are through posturing, they will deliver an album that makes good on the promise of the raw materials they are working with.

Re: Nara English Guided Tour
I visited Nara as a day trip by train from Kyoto. Stopped in the Tourist Info Office in the train station when I arrived. They gave me a free map and a good explanation of how to visit the city. It can be walked in a great circle. You can stop to see the sites you want and skip the ones that don't interest you in particular. No guide necessary, really.

Re: Nara English Guided Tour
My daughter, 21 years old, went to Japan on her own in August. She actually had a personal English speaking tour guide in Nara that she didn't even have to pay for. Apparently, there are people who volunteer or perhaps are paid through other sources to provide this service. I believe there are tourist offices you can visit. I can double check with her later on in the day.
