Warning: Spoiler Alert
We begin with a flashback to 1994. Elliot's Dad is working in a small store front repairing computers and selling hardware. A customer comes in to accuse young Elliot (who is not present) of stealing money from him. The customer is insulting to put it bluntly. When he demands to get his money back, Mr. Robot declines. The customer has some ugly things to say but eventually leaves with nothing. Dad calls young Elliot out from the back. After a quick denial, Elliot produces the missing $20 bill. Instead of punishing him, Dad offers to use the money to take him to see either Time Cop or Stargate in the theater. The bad deed in Dad's mind was outweighed by bad nature of the customer.
Back in present day, Father and Son attempt to have a conversation about what is happening and what happened 20 years ago. Dad's concerned. Once Darlene's name's brought up Elliot snaps, tossing the table and then his father against the wall. Elliot is irate, but Dad tries to calm him. It doesn't work. Too much bad has happened in the last 20 years to just brush this off. The truth that Dad is clinging to is that there are people who don't want him alive, if they even knew he was alive.
Dad: Come on…
Elliot: Where?
Dad: If you want answers, you've got to stop asking questions and follow me.
At Angela's lawyer's office, there is a bit of commotion. After the news of the confession, the office is a buzz trying to get everything ready for the next step. All is not peachy though, it seems Angela thought she could just leave All Safe and jump right in to help out with the Washington Township case part 2. Her lawyer doesn't see it that way.
Darlene reaches out to Angela hoping to find Elliot. Angela in her current state of stress is not completely inclined to help. Clearly, there is more familiarity between Angela and Darlene as there is between Elliot and Darlene. Angela knows there is something going on. She knows Elliot has not been honest. She's also getting the impression that whatever Elliot is hiding, Darlene is in on it.
Father and son reflect on a small piece of nostalgia. Elliot used to play a game with himself when they'd wait for the train to come. He'd calculate which car had the best probability of safety and take that one into the city. Then on the way back, choose the most dangerous. Because he hated going home. Elliot is beginning to remember more and more as time passes.
Mrs. Wellick reflects on the birth of their son by telling Tyrell she had a little girl when she was fifteen, but she gave it up for adoption to a couple. Despite her cold demeanor, this may be that singular moment that haunts her and motivates her. She opens up just enough to Tyrell, just to shut him out again. She tells him that he is no longer the man she wishes to be married to. This comes back around to whatever their agenda is. If he wants to be around, he needs to fix whatever 'this' is.
Gideon stops by the computer supply store where Elliot met with White Rose. The store got blown up or burned down. Either way everything is gone or damaged. The more interesting question is why would Gideon go there to pick up drives, when he could have sent anyone?
One of the high-ranking board members of Evil Corp is waiting in Wellick's office when he walks in. Initially to congratulate Tyrell on his new baby. The conversation take a turn for the worse when this superior of Wellick's informs him that the police consider him a person of interest in the death of Sharon Knowles. Then the walls come crashing down. Scott Knowles will remain while Tyrell Wellick will not. This incites a loud outburst. Phillip's (the board member), disappointed by this reaction. Wellick eventually even begs to keep his job, but Phillip just walks out.
Father and son take a walk through their old house, a place of bad memories for Elliot. He stares out of the famous window. Dad tries to convince him they should leave. Elliot then grabs him and almost throws him out of the window. Mr. Robot tries to convey that what happened was a reflection of Elliot's own guilt. He says that Elliot needs to let go of the guilt. Elliot's eyes gloss over and admits that he was angry at himself and that he was ready to let go. Then he literally let's go. Letting his father fall from a second story window.
While Gideon tries to undo Elliot's reversal of the 'honey pot', Angela hears from her father that he saw Darlene recently. Angela finds Darlene in the Alderson's old house. They escape the eye of the new homeowner, then Darlene admits she should be more transparent with Angela as they are in some manner of speaking, family. That's when they notice they are walking over broken glass.
Elliot helps his Dad limp across a large cemetery. You can hear Darlene and Angela in the distance. Darlene and Angela somehow provide a threat to whatever this is. Dad tells Elliot that 'they' are going to try to separate them again. He needs Elliot to not let that happen. Then he repeats, "I will never leave you alone again". Mr. Robot sits down on the grass, his back supported by a tombstone. As the girls approach, he quietly says he wants to know. He wants to know about whatever this is. Eventually, he yells it out.
Elliot: I WANNA KNOW!!!
Darlene: Elliot? Who are you talking to?
(Edward Alderson isn't there)
Elliot is in full breakdown mode. He creates space between himself and the girls. They notice that he's bleeding. He begins to notice that he's experiencing what looks like bone or joint pain. The kind of pain associated with a fall. Then Elliot and Inner Elliot start to spin the 'we're crazy' thing again. Inner Elliot suspecting that Elliot knew all along. Then Angela asks who Elliot thought he was talking to.
Inner Elliot: You're gonna make me say it aren't you? I am Mr. Robot.
Angela tries to reassure Elliot that he'll be alright. He doubts her claim. She explains that she's slightly jealous, even if his Dad wasn't really there. They share an embrace and Angela is off. On the train, Darlene asks if Elliot remembers any of it. Referencing the beginning of f_society. Elliot plays dumb even though the damaged wheels in his brain are spinning.
Gideon drops in to Wellick's office presumably to get the honey pot back in place, only to discover that Wellick has been let go. This makes Gideon almost frantic. He asks Wellick's former assistant if she can get him a meeting with Knowles. Apparently, Gideon was out of the loop on the whole Sharon Knowles news.
Angela returns to her father's home to find Terry Colby and associates in his dining room. Her father looks up at her and with a disapproving look leaves the room to let them talk. Colby has done some digging after being impressed with their last encounter. Colby has something he thinks Angela might want. A lucrative position in Evil Corp. The very company she is currently suing. Angela is resentful towards this offer, but Colby persists, suggesting that there are no grudges in business.
In Elliot's apartment, Darlene tries to get him thinking straight while all he can do is question what is real and what is not. Furthermore, operating under the assumption that Mr. Robot never was really there, Darlene confirms that all of this f_society stuff was Elliot's idea.
At the peak of this quandary between what's real and what's not, Elliot's front door begins to slowly open. Elliot almost jumps out of his skin when he discovers the person at the door is none other than Tyrell Wellick. He very calmly tells Elliot that he knows he's behind everything. The one constant in a sea of variables. Wellick doesn't have all the answers but wants Elliot to give them to him. Wellick even walks him through the first person experience of what it's like to strangle a woman to death.
Then, maybe the second most surprising part of this episode, Elliot takes Wellick to the f_society HQ. Elliot proceeds to tell Wellick as much as he 'knows'. The details do nothing but increase Wellick's desire to be involved. Elliot takes all of the credit and blame. Wellick says that now there are two. With no job at Evil Corp, it's not that crazy to think Wellick would want to help.
Wellick: I have to ask, what were you hoping to accomplish with all of this?
Elliot: I don't know…I wanted to save the world.

The Endura Trek Lionheart Sportive roared into life for its third incarnation, the first of the big Sportives of the year, in theory heralding spring. However spring seemed to have sprung in the wrong direction this time.
The first sign that the weather might not be as glorious as previous years was seeing gritting trucks going up Frome high street on the Saturday evening! Come Sunday morning, the green rolling hills of Wiltshire were being steadily covered by snow and the temperature was hovering around zero degrees.
Given the freezing conditions and the number of riders (1500 entries, up from 800 in 2012), the organisers took the difficult but sensible decision to remove the 100-mile route option leaving everyone to tackle the 100-km route, itself no mean feat in the day's conditions.
Setting out round the perimeter of the stunning Longleat House, the steep and very wet climb out of the safari park into the clinging grey murk soon had a number of people walking. A combination of the months of winter road grime and today's snowy wet conditions certainly laid down the challenge early on. Out onto the roads and through the woods, the pine trees and the snowfall deadened any sounds save for the harsh breathing of riders and the occasional slipping tyre on the soaking wet climb. Once up on the ridge road, the open terrain caused the temperature to drop another notch.
"Out onto the roads and through the woods, the pine trees and the snowfall deadened any sounds save for the harsh breathing of riders and the occasional slipping tyre on the soaking wet climb."
Winter adds an extra layer of challenge at the 2013 Lionheart
Group riding was sensibly out of the question in this wet weather, unless the following rider wanted a constant spray of freezing water and gritty mud. Everyone pressed on, heads bowed against the big snowflakes and soon enough the little village of Mere appeared through the clag and riders were welcomed into the yard of Yapp Wine Merchants to be greeted by a cheese and wine stall. I love Sportives that offer something a little bit different (although there was also the sturdy spread of rolls, fruit and homemade-by-the-local-WI cakes). Unfortunately, the weather made it almost impossible to sit around and enjoy the continental atmosphere and it was obvious that some riders were starting to chill.
From here on, these pretty country lanes of Wilshire were spread with riders as the better-prepared followed the full 100-km course and others cut back towards the finish. The signature climb of King Alfred's Tower was as steep and tough as previous years, this time with the added technical aspect of a wet descent to follow. By now, mud-splattered riders were arriving back at Longleat in various degrees of both relief and jubilation with event sponsors Juice Lubes working overtime as Claude the Butler served warming coffee from the back of his converted Citroen H-Van.
This event will go down as one of the more memorable Sportives, the weather made it a huge challenge for everyone but in spite of that the organisers put on a top notch ride that remains one of the best season-opener events. It may also serve as a reminder that even on Sportives as well run as the Lionheart, riders and their bikes still need to be well prepared for all conditions, even in to the spring months of the year. Roll on British summer time.

The Use of Anencephalic Infants as Organ Sources: A Critique
Shewmon, D. Alan
Capron, Alexander M.
Peacock, Warwick J.
Schulman, Barbara L.
Bibliographic Citation
JAMA. 1989 Mar 24/31; 261(12): 1773-1781.
The recent abandonment of the only active U.S. protocol for harvesting organs from anencephalic donors by Loma Linda University Medical Center in California indicates the unresolved issues inherent in such an effort. An historical review of transplants using anencephalic donors is given. Issues discussed include the medical utility of such practice, the legal definition of anencephalics as nonpersons, provision of intensive care while awaiting brain death, and revision of the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act to include live anencephalics as acceptable donors and of the Uniform Determination of Death Act to define anencephalics as dead. Ethical objections and data suggesting that few such organs would actually benefit other children lead the authors to conclude that the ultimate harm to society would not be offset by the good of the surviving recipients of such organs and that anencephalic infants are not as attractive a source of newborn organs as some had hoped.

Late Night Action to Publicize Hotline
In the night before the hotline launch, and a group of activists pasted fliers with the hotline number in the central streets of Buenos Aires. Getting the information into the streets is always an important way to reach women who may need it.
Sometime around mid-night, a group of feminist activists armed with fliers and glue went out to paste publicity for the hotline in the space most accessed by women from all social and economic groups - the streets of downtown. Interfering with advertisements and making the number available to women has already yielded results. The following morning there has already been a call to the hotline. This is an indication of the magnitude of the need for reliable information to be available to women in Argentina.

With all the talk about commonplace books about at the moment, I thought some of you might like to take a look at my very first commonplace book, begun in my teens and used into my early twenties.
Being as I was not quite as familiar with Charlotte Mason then as I am now, I didn't quite stick to the rules. Some pages are undated, and quotes are not attributed. I also stuck in a bit of memorabilia. Ahem. Nevertheless, it really takes me back to those angst filled days when I didn't really know who or what I really was. I wouldn't be twenty again for quids - would you?
My favourite photo of me. I was just two.
I've always loved Rabbie.
Learning about me.
My love for Dan Fogelburg began early, see, Megan!
I am fascinated to find that Japanese philosophy interested me even way back then.
Still a beautiful song, don't you think?
More Dan.
And some Byron.
More Japonisme!
And a pile of more recent commonplace books and Scripture journals.
Have you always been a Keeper as well?

Making changes
Lately it just feels like as though my life is moving at such a fast speed that I'm chasing to catch everything to make sure that they fall in place. Thank god this place helps to keep my thoughts sane as I work through them while I write.
This space of have also been undergoing quite a bit of changes. I have barely changed the skin a month ago and now it's looking totally different again! Except for the little banner on top. Though I do think and feel that it does not really fit well with the whole new look, but it will do for now.
I've also been reading a lot of late, be it books or blogs and I think I'm slowly to have a vision of my own, getting a better feel of what I really want to do with this space. I would really love to venture into fashion blogging. Whenever I chanced upon a fashion blog, it's almost like you could see their style, feel their vibe of dressing. And even a little insight to their personality although you might only have read the first page. It's equivalent to what's going through my mind every single day as I pick out clothes from my wardrobe.
That is when this particular feeling within me that starts to swell into something more significant. Instead of constantly wishing to be like them.. writing posts with spectacular pictures that carries content, I want to make it happen. But having said that, even though I may have the necessary ingredients all in my mind, I still need to figure out the recipe. How to convey and portray through pictures, how much blend of each element, how to go about doing it. Guess I have to figure myself along the way.
It actually came across my mind whether to create a whole new blog focusing on fashion alone. But I had decided against it because I would like to grow with my readers. Sort of like growing up and discovering things with a childhood friend, something like that. But you get what I mean.
I have made quite a few changes to my blog other than the cosmetic works.
Facebook page for my blog.
I don't know if making this move is equivalent to making myself eat back on my words.
I know how people are into creating pages for themselves recently and calls it a Fan page. Aren't fan pages should be something that your fans created for you? @.@
The other day I was on Facebook and this guy named Seichi (if I remembered correctly) messaged me to "like" his page. And his page name was "I LOVE DJ SEICHI". I don't know him, neither is he a DJ nor do I love him why should I like his page that he called "I love DJ Seichi"?? It just doesn't makes sense. Really.
Ok ask me like your boutique page, blogshop page, a subcriber page for a website or cause I'm alright. But ask me to like your fan page and be one of your fans..... Note, the operating term is fans. Where in the world got people who are such thick skinned one???
But today, I'm going to look like I'm one of them because now I have a page for my blog wtf.
I thought it long and hard before going ahead to make this page.
- Unknown friend requests
When I first created my facebook account I'll just accept whoever that adds me as a friend. This came from the norm in Frienster where I did the same too. But over time I realised that there are so many people whom I don't personally know on my friend list and sometimes it just feels uncomfortable when I'm sharing pictures and personal updates.
I'm not saying having a wide network on your social account is bad. It is very much to your advantage when you need information or advices from people across the globe. But there is also a personal space which I wish to maintain.
So lately I haven't been accepting a lot of friend requests and I always feel a twinge of guilt when I see it but yet I can't do anything about it. So I thought that having an alternate page to reach me would be the best alternative without having to shut people out of my life.
- A proper place for my blog updates
I feel bad (and a bit unabashed) if I were to constantly paste my own blog link on my Facebook account whenever there is an update. It's like as though I'm trying to excessively promote myself which is not the intention and notion I want to deliver. This is my own opinion because honestly I don't like having to see my feed with multiple posts from the same person promoting the same page over and over again. So like what my lecturer likes to say, what I don't like I wouldn't impose it on others. After all, a Facebook account is a social utility to connect with your friends, not just plain promoting one self!
Hence I thought that with this page I could have a proper place to keep readers who are interested updated and as an avenue to connect with my readers.
I have included the widget on my sidebar so you could "like" my page! But I stress again, it's not a Fan page. Just a page for my blog and I won't force you to like it wtf. T_T
I have changed the web which I used to display my Instagram feeds! I changed it to Webstagram because when you click on my photos you could instantly comment on them using your Instagram account or even your facebook account!
As for the other add-ons I've added my Youtube link onto the page header and a new page named Fashiolista. As these are relatively new accounts of mine maybe I would only dive down into them when they have more content in time to come.
Sneak for my next update!

A few days ago I mentioned a high yield savings account from Redneck Bank. I just found another FDIC insured savings account with a higher APY over at SmartyPig….yes you read that right. As with Redneck Bank, Smartypig is backed by a large bank (West Bank) and your funds are FDIC insured. Their current rate is 3.25% with no maximum however I read on another board that it will go down to 3.01 starting April 1st. Either way this is by far one of the best rates online.
The idea behind Smarty Pig is to allow users to set up savings accounts for everything from vacations to wedding funds and allow their friends and family to help contribute to the fund (if you decide to make your savings account public). A few months back the only way to get your funds out was either via merchant gift cards or check however they have now added the ability for you to get your money back to your checking account via ACH deposits.
Even though I posted about RedNeck Bank last week, I couldn't see putting money there and having "Redneck Bank" show up on my credit report. I'm not sure why but for some reason the thought of having SmartyPig isn't nearly as bad to me. I had planned on setting up an account with GMAC Bank as their rate was a decent 2.50 last week. I started the sign up process last week and have still not gotten my account setup there. To make matters worse, their rate just dropped to 2.25%.
I decided since I still hadn't gotten my GMAC account up and running to give SmartyPig a chance. It took me about 10 mins to set up my account. Best of all, they are already in Mint.com (the online version of quickbooks / ms money). For info about Mint, read my previous post here.
Info from their site:
Opening an account on SmartyPig is absolutely FREE. In fact, you can open your account, create a goal, reach your goal, and redeem your goal, and SmartyPig won't charge you a thing!
SmartyPig is for people who want to save for specific goals. Whether it's a family vacation, the latest electronic gadget, a wedding or a down payment on a house, SmartyPig's unique system can help you get there. Just tell us what you're saving for, how much you want to save and when you want to reach your goal, and we'll suggest an automatic monthly deposit you'll make from your existing checking or saving account until you reach your goal
Savings Accounts are held in West Bank and are FDIC insured up to the maximum amount allowed by law, making using SmartyPig as safe and secure as using your own bank.

THE GOOD THAT SHARES ITSELF By Rev. Fr. Abe P. Arganiosa
"Discipleship is basically described as 'sitting at the feet of the Master'; listening to his every word to easily remember them, to watch his face to memorize each line and, to familiarize with the tone of his voice and the mannerisms of his body. The disciple can then teach the very ideas of the Master, can embody his spirit so that when on his own the vision of the Master can be transferred to another because the disciple has become a master. A disciple is like a student and a soldier personified in one. As a soldier is expected to work, act, fight and execute the will of his commander to the best of his ability so a Catholic is called upon to do his best in everything that he does for self, family, nation and God." – Fr. Abe Arganiosa

Astana Opera presents new production of Sawn Lake
One of the most famous ballets Swan Lake to the music of the outstanding Tchaikovsky was presented at the Astana Opera. The Kazakh version of the famous performance was created according to all world standards. This is the first project, where the scenery, costumes and choreography are completely domestic. According to Kazakh directors, the legendary ballet has thousands variations across the world. They were looking for their own, but they did not want to completely change the ballet, which is more than 130 years old.
The version of Swan Lake directed by Kazakh choreographers featured a happy ending, which is unusual as the customary final is always tragic. In the Kazakh version, evil is powerless when the power of love overcomes, unlike the original, where the lake absorbs the main characters.
We wanted to make the version that satisfied our spectators, ballet admirers, because when it ends beautifully, when love wins, there is no need for unnecessary words.
The main roles in the ballet were performed by the leading soloists of the Astana Opera Theater. Madina Basbayeva dances two swans at once in the ballet: black and white. According to her, simultaneous transformation into diametrically opposite characters of good and evil was more difficult than the technical side of the ballet.
My character of the white swan is very tender. Its technique is more different. There is the purest classic. It is bewitched and expresses all its sorrow. But the black swan, of course is more cunning. Its character has to be played more dramatically. It is closer to me in image, and it's easier for me to perform the black swan rather than a white one.
The ballet features magnificent costumes as well. Kazakh fashion designers prepared them for the performance under the strict guidance of the Italian masters. Scenery for the ballet is made using the most modern technologies - in seconds the massive structures disappear and reappear on the stage. In addition, the classical ballet about magic and love in rendition of the Kazakh choreographers had a new and unusual approach. For the first time the scenographers used 3D effects, creating the feeling that the Swan lake will pour in torrents right into the audience hall. All this makes the Kazakh production unique and original, which, by the way, is already appreciated by domestic theatergoers.

Children and Respect: Do As I Do, Not As I Say
Ingenio Category: Family Coaching
As a parent, you may find your children most often doing as they see, not as we say. When it comes to teaching appropriate behavior, modeling is the first important step. When you demonstrate respect to the people in your life, including your children, they will learn to be respectful to others. Below are five tips that will help demonstrate and build respect.
1. Be Honest With Your Children
Telling the truth is crucial, especially to your children. When speaking to your children, it is responsible and reasonable to admit mistakes you have made in your own life. You are not supposed to create an unrealistic model of a perfect human to them—you are to show them that you, like them, went through the same struggles, asked the same questions, had the same worries, and made similar mistakes as a child. Not only will this build your own integrity, your children will feel more comfortable being open and honest with you when they see you doing the same.
2. Be Present and Available to Your Children
Being there for your child when they need you is your job, but sometimes, parents will deem certain issues unimportant and dismiss their kids outright. Don't do this. Give them the courtesy of having your undivided attention when they want to speak to you. This demonstrates respect that you want them to provide to others (and you, too!).
3. Let Your Children Trust You
You can't just tell your kids that they have your trust—you need to show them that they do. If your child shares something with you in confidence, don't then blab to your friends their feelings or experiences. Children can find out, and in these cases, will lose trust in you. Their experiences aren't a source of conversation-- they're strictly between the parents and their children.
4. Let Your Children Count on You
Stay true to your word. If you make a promise to your child, always follow through. If they can't rely on you as a parent, who are you teaching them to rely on? Remember that your word is your bond, so make your word count.
5. Be Considerate of Your Children
Parents and their children have many years of experience separating them, so often parents will not agree with their children. When your child speaks to you, do your best to listen and build a respect for their perspective, even if you find it insignificant to your own concerns. The events in your children's lives, and their thoughts and feelings are important to them, so don't dismiss them.
As we work on building strong relationships with our kids, it's crucial to teach them the importance of respect for themselves and others. Become the model for this in your life—your children will do as you do, not as you say.

Tips and Tricks #2
"Integrating weight distribution to improve your riding"
If you caught my last blog, wherein I talked about a few helpful rotation movements to remember while riding, then you're perfectly primed for this week's blog, and you're also probably wondering when I'm going to talk about those pesky edges I mentioned. Either that, or when I'm going to get to the fun stuff.
Ironically, the movements I've been talking about such as rotation and today's (soon to be revealed) topic are the same movements you can use throughout the rest of your days on the mountain. Even as your skills progress, you will realize that you are just adjusting different aspects of these fundamental movements. So on some level, this is the fun stuff, just quieted down a bit. Don't worry, once we get these basics down, it will be a lot easier to explain the mechanics behind that 540, and understanding how the trick works is half the battle. It builds confidence, and confidence on your skis or board can be one of your most helpful skills.
So in today's blog I'll be talking about rotation's better half:
Weight Distribution
Ok, I know what you're thinking, and yes, in some regard I guess this is a science class. In fact, you can take a lot of what you learned (or slept through) in physical science class and apply it to snowboarding. After all, there are not many better examples of the laws of friction, gravity, acceleration and so on, than sending a slippery piece of wood down an icy hill (a manned piece of wood I might add). Keeping that in mind, let's make this a bit more fun (I told you I'd try).
Let's do an experiment:
- Angle your monitor to about the grade of a hill (this will simulate our run, so angle it to the grade of the runs you are used to)
- Acquire two (2) Post-Its or other small identically shaped pieces paper
- Acquire one (1) Paper Clip or other similarly sized and weighted object
- Attach the paper clip to one of the pieces of paper by means of the sticky side of the post-it, tape, or whatever you've got I guess…
- Place both the weighted and non-weighted side by side at the top of the screen
- Let 'em rip! (This is the fun part…)
You will notice that the weighted clip won our desktop challenge by making it to the bottom of the screen first. Why? It's the same concept as free-fall, in which all objects of a similar same shape ("resistance factor"), regardless of weight, fall at 3.8 meters per second. However, when friction and a slope are involved the heavier object will always be the victor (assuming both objects have similar "resistance factor"). Think of it as the lighter object not having as much "pull" to make it around this obstacle (the mountain and, unbeknownst to the object, the rest of the earth's surface) on it's way back to free-fall. (If you're actually interested in the physics behind it, there is a great article at: http://www.physicsclassroom.com/mmedia/energy/se.cfm.)
While the weighted clip winning the race may seem like an obvious outcome, the lack of attention to this concept is one of the things I see most on the mountain. If you think about those post-its as your feet, and the paperclip as being your body weight transferred to one foot, it is easy to see how much of an effect on your riding your distribution of weight can have.
Remembering the post-it notes, would it not be safe to say that the best way to initiate a turn may actually be by shifting the weight to one foot to let that foot get ahead of the other?
Ok, I don't profess to be a psychic but for the third time today, I know what you're thinking:
"Duh…" Which I would agree with (if this were 1991 and people still said that) except that so often on the mountain it is easy to forget this simple concept. Anytime you feel like your board or skis don't do what you thought you were telling them to do, make sure your weight is distributed accurately in relationship to your rotation.
In regards to snowboarding, this concept is crucial in the sense that the boarder MUST make a connection between the rotation of his or her body and to where on, or rather over, the board their weight is. If you have finally learned that steady heel-side slide (edges, I know, I'm getting there) and you want to control you direction you can do it by either twisting your body (which is the most instinctive movement to make) or by "pulling a post-it" and shifting the weight to the direction you want to travel. This is inherently counter-intuitive because regardless of whether you want to go right or left, you have to go downhill to get there. Unless you are confident in the mechanics of turning (or read this blog) your instinctual reaction to "going fast" is to lean on the back foot, the uphill foot, in a primal effort to slow down and be closer to the ground in case of a fall. This is actually the worst thing you can do when trying to turn, as the offset weight will lift the front of the board, effectively leaving you with no way to turn (Finally, Edges!). It will pull your leading edges off the ground giving you nothing to turn with.
By now, you've probably recognized that edges of the board or skis are what actually control a turn. Moving our weight in relation to the edge is the movement. How the edge then reacts to the snow is the outcome. For example, when trying to stop, a skier or boarder applies more pressure to an edge (while using ROTATION to get that edge perpendicular to the "line of slope", or downhill) by moving his or her weight to the extreme rear (uphill) of the edge. When initiating a turn, (remember, whether right or left, it must also be downhill) the weight needs to shift to the foot that will first start downhill on the turn. For skiers this is the outside foot. For boarders this should always be the leading foot (Right foot for Goofy riders. Left foot for Regular riders.)
Of course there are a number of different movements and concepts that help our riding, but Rotation and Weight Distribution are two of the most important. Once you become familiar with these concepts, your riding will improve along with your confidence on the slopes. Once you have mastered these concepts though, and trained your body to instinctively think in a way that is mostly counter-intuitive, you can do anything. Of course, you can't do it without something to do it on so...
P.S. - For my hardcore readers, there is an event coming up at Pajarito Mountain that any skier or boarder can attend. While the trophy will go to best trick and the winner of the slopestyle competition, the fun can be shared by everyone, with live music, drinks, demos, swag give-aways and a whole lot more.

In my two previous posts (scroll down to see them), I shared some Christmas card "rejects". They're not really rejects at all - I was just playing with colors and DSP that appealed to a customer of mine. We were trying to come up with a Christmas card in which she could include a photo of her children. Once we got the color combo down, I came up with a layout for her. She did not want a traditional 'single-crease' card, but something more interesting or mechanical. She also did not want to just slip in the photo, but to incorporate it as part of the card.
What I came up with was a Gatefold card that contained a traditional card insert. Hard to explain, but I think the photos below will make it clear. I am not sharing the actual card, as that design was specifically for my customer, but I will share the layout and the color combo!
The colors were Kraft and Bordering blue, a soft, pretty, peaceful color combination.
Here's the front of the Gatefold card:
It's still a standard 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" size. I started with a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of card stock. I scored this at 2 3/4" on each side. The circle element is firmly attached to one side of the card only. The card is held closed by tucking the circle element under the smaller punched image, which is raised up on a dimensional.
When you open the card, it looks like this:
This is a 5 1/4" x 8" piece of card stock, scored & folded at 4". It's like a card within a card. Here's a view of the inside of the "inner card":
My customer used Repositionable Dotto to attach the photo to the upper portion of the card. Recipients can either remove the photo or cut the top flap from the card to retain the matted photo.
I enjoy getting together with Barb each year to plan her Christmas cards - she always challenges me (this card is WAY easier than the card I designed and she made last year!). If you need help designing a card or other kind of paper craft project, I'd be happy to help you out. Contact me for more information!

Congratulations to Cook County Commissioner Mike Quigley, who came in first, with 22% of the vote, and gets the Democratic nomination (in an overwhelmingly Democratic district) to succeed Rahm Emanuel as Representative from the 5th District of Illinois.
Tom Geoghegan, often mentioned here, finished in 7th place with 6% of the vote. After the jump, the email he just sent out to supporters.
As I've said all along, I don't know the politics of the district but I do know that Geoghegan is an outstanding voice and thinker in contemporary politics. If his run for Congress, unsuccessful at this stage, call more attention to his books and outlook, it will have done some good. And having some idea of how hard it is to run for any political office, my heart is with just about anyone who gives it a try. (Just about....)
Email from Geoghegan for Congress:
Dear Friend, I want to thank you for all your help and support. Unfortunately, we came up short tonight, but that was not a reflection on your efforts.
Two months ago, I launched this campaign because I was greatly concerned with the growing economic contraction and the impact it was having on working Americans. I wanted, as my former law-partner Leon Depres said, simply to make politics my law practice.
I am astounded at what we've accomplished in just two short months. We raised over $325,000, put together an operation that reached thousands with phone calls and knocked doors. You made a relatively unknown labor lawyer a contender.
Most importantly, we helped influence the political debate of this country. We pushed Democrats to understand we don't need to save Social Security, we need to raise it to a livable public pension. We can have a single-payer universal health care system. We must stop the bailouts, nationalize insolvent institutions, and cut interest on credit cards to begin getting people out of debt.
It is time for a new progressivism and I'm determined to help bring it about. So, I thank you once again for all your help and support. This isn't an end, it's just a beginning.
Thank you, Tom

I received all the parts necessary to complete the hard drive swap in the Asus Eee PC 1000H. The new Western Digital Scorpio Black 320GB 7200 RPM drive is still sitting in it's anti-static bag. There are two options for me to proceed.
1. I can clone the old drive and do a swap.
2. I can install a fresh new copy of Windows XP on the new drive.
I think I'll think about it for a while. Either way, I need an external CD drive. Fortunately, I have an extra 5.25 inch external enclosure and an unused CD Burner drive sitting around. I think I'll make a decision soon. I'm anxious to get geeky.

Our garden is a destination
Twice in the last week people actually came by to show off my garden--people we did not know! My husband was working out in the garage when a man and his son came into the yard. The man was pointing out the different types of vegetable to his small son--that is a cabbage, that is carrots, etc. Quite interesting to observe. The second time a woman brought her mother by in the car to see that the garden was in the front yard. We are managing to share more growing information than we otherwise could. Every day someone walking by stops to comment on the plantings. I have the tomatoes out now and am ready to start taking cabbages in. Most of the kohl rabi are already pulled but there are quite a few yet to bring in.

Bancorp provides access to residential and commercial property funds as well as direct property investment.
New Zealand's English law based property system provides absolute title to property ownership for residents and non residents alike. As New Zealand does not have a formal capital gains tax and permits non residents to own land, in most cases without Government approval, New Zealand property investment is attractive to resident and non resident investors.
Direct Property Investment
Bancorp provides access to residential and commercial properties located in New Zealand. We arrange funding in local or foreign currencies to purchase properties. All insurances and property management can be arranged by Bancorp.
Property Funds
The New Zealand commercial and residential property market continues to provide very strong yields to investors plus the possibility of longer term capital gain. We provide listed property fund of funds, land banking funds and residential investment funds.
Government leased Housing
Bancorp secures Housing New Zealand leased properties and provides these for investment to its private banking customers. The properties are residential and have long term 10 year plus leases directly to the New Zealand Government. These properties provide a secure revenue stream, capital gain potential and lease rentals that can only increase in value.
Agricultural & Specialist Property
We provide customers with access to vineyard funds or direct ownership of vineyards. In addition, we locate specialist properties, e.g. golf courses, beach front properties, luxury lodges, high country farm stations and other agricultural land based investments to suit a customer's specific requirement.

L is for Loss
My first diary entry after Billy passed away. 17 March 2010. Three weeks ago we buried you my baby. You were only three months old. I can not believe how short time we had you yet it felt a very long time. Perhaps it was very painful for you and for us. Mummy feels comfort in believing that you are now in a pure place where there is no pain and suffering. Oh baby, mummy had such a wonderful but so challenging time when you were here. From the moment you were born, life seemed not fair and it was

K is for Keep Kind Karma
I asked my kids what to write on letter K. They said: Karma and Kind. So what is Karma? It is widely understood as cause and effect. Do I believe in Karma? I did. I thought If I'm kind and considerate life will treat me alright. However, I'm not sure anymore. We lost our baby son Billy. Was it Karma? What do you think? Do you believe in Karma?
Mother's Day
My little boy wonders whether I am asleep I'm not sure if I should open my eyes But when I start to open them, He thinks I'm waking up. I lay in bed. His careful steps get closer I pretend. 'Mummy, do you want to open your card?' he whispers. That's me. I see my son standing there, smiling Before I say anything, his little feet couldn't wait longer He ran to his big sister to announce 'Mummy is awake.' They walk into the room Their Daddy follows, with their baby sister in his arms And to Mum, the

I was looking over a web based catalogue of products for photographers; frames, cards, books, etc.
They had a category called Photoshop actions in which there was an action that would take "your photographic images and turn them into beautiful one-of-a-kind pieces of art".
As I cleared up the mess from the coffee I had spurted on to the screen I got the idea for this post. What these people were saying was interesting. First off these people are not my people. Second they don't regard photographers as artists. Thirdly by the use of their one click photoshop action they were saying my mere photographic image could be transformed into art.
So you bust your butt coming up with ideas, fighting through the doubts and wondering if your work has any value, planning, organising, lighting, composing, coaxing, collaborating, shifting furniture and lugging gear only to have a photographic image at the end of the process. A lot of sweat and a lot of work but all you have is a photographic image. Now if you want to elevate it to the status of "Art" all you need to do is buy this action for $95 and there you are.
From this apoplectic state I calmed down and decided to think about this. I have seen many a discussion, and taken part in a few, where someone was having a rant at the latest photoshop craze such as the use of HDR or something like that. My attitude to these has pretty much usually been to say live and let live and don't get your knickers in a twist about what other people are doing. Use whatever you like to create the image you want to create. I'm happy with that stance. But seeing how I could become an artist by the use of someone else's photoshop action left me feeling like those who rant about HDR being cheating at best. It was recognising that that led me to figure a few things out.
First off I consider myself to be an artist and not "just" a photographer. I don't shoot for documentary reasons. I don't "capture" images that just happen to be flitting by so much as grab the elements from wherever they might be and push, cajole, and manipulate those elements until they "work" for me. So because I consider myself to be an artist when some marketer helpfully suggests to me that their piece of software will transform my mere image into a unique work of art it kind of gets my back up a little. But is this any different to those who rant against the use of HDR?
In a word no. It is no different. But we have to start with a definition of art. I have seen many. There are lots out there. Most of them are not helpful to me. It has nothing to do with something looking "good" or "cool". Because "good" and "cool" are totally subjective. I don't think art is totally subjective although it is partially so. Art for me is communicating something in a way that gets noticed and then understood and doing it with elegance. The understanding might be very simple like a "stop" sign or it might involve some thought and reflection on the part of the viewer. But being first and formost a communication it's source can only be an artist and not a piece of software. This is not to say that software isn't part of the process. It most certainly can be but it is the artist who has something to say that is using the software, or lens, or shutter speed, etc. to communicate something.
Art is subjective in the sense that it is personal. It starts in one person, the artist, and through his use of whatever tools he finds necessary it arrives eventually at the viewer who is also a person. It is obective in the sense that it is not entirely personal. Art forms have a language that has to be understood by both the artist and the viewer and that language is not subjective.
So the point of this rant is just to say that if you have something to say and you say it you are a communicator. If you say it well you are an artist to that degree. A writer like Nabakov uses language that anyone has available to them yet he uses it in such a way that I am amazed when reading him. He communicates very well. I feel the same way about a Stan Getz solo. I could play the same notes but he does it so effortlessly and with such feeling I am profoundly moved. The notes are important but the communication is paramount.
This idea of art helps me look at the work of others and not get bogged down in their technique. I either get it or I don't. If I do I look to see how they got it across to me. I may learn some new language skill. If I don't get it I have nothing to learn from just looking at the work. That will probably be considered a brash statement but I stand by it.

Architectural Detail Echoed in Kitchen Counter Design
Builders (and photographers) tend to find inspiration even where it is not obvious.
Photographing an elegant detail in a kitchen, I kept thinking about a Walker Evans image that I had seen earlier in the week. Although at first glance they might seem unrelated, in my minds eye the images speak to each other in a purely formal way. The screen shot shows the program (CaptureOne) that I use to shoot with and process my images. Walker Evans photographs have been an inspiration to me for over 25 years.

We believe in supporting people to lead happy and fulfilled lives. Art can enrich lives by improving confidence, self-esteem, and wellbeing.
That's why every year we hold an arts festival to celebrate the creativity in our communities. It helps our customers discover hidden talents and make new connections.
Celebrating creativity
Over the past few years, we've worked with local artists and staff to introduce our customers to the fun of art classes.
The festivals take place over a few months and end in an exhibition of everyone's work. Past exhibitions have included:
- photography
- prints
- mosaics
- storytelling
- audio-visual installations.
Taking time to learn something new
One of our customers who had artwork on display last year was Marion Williams. She said:
"This was a fantastic way to bring us together and help us learn new skills and crafts."
"It's a huge help in combating isolation. Some people tend to shut themselves off but if you're in a group like this, you become a little team. Learning together and helping each other to create something new, it's been great fun!"
Paul Watson, Managing Director of Guinness Care, said "We want to bring staff, customers, volunteers and artists together. These festivals have built a real sense of community."
Contact us if you'd like to share your stories.
We're also on Twitter at @guinnesscare and on Facebook www.facebook.com/guinnesscare
"It's all about getting out, meeting people, and doing something new. As you get older, there's a danger that you stop learning – people just seem to stop telling you stuff!" Marion Williams
