Contained within the chromosomes of the female and the male species are all the essential ingredients, genetic intelligence and blue printed mapping which, when combined into one at the moment of fertilization produces a new being of the parent species.
I believe that in that moment of fertilization the component and energetic spark of life itself is transferred into the new being.
It is this spark of life which germinates and ignites the genetic intelligence which then begins to pulse and can be readily observed and recorded microscopically and later seen pulsing through ultra sounding technology.
DETERRANT TO DEPRESSION COUNSELLINGWorking with the debilitating mental, emotional and physical after math of Depression is becoming a daily occurrence in our Bondi Junction Counselling practice.
Here below are some articles which we on post from Beyondblue the nationally recognised organisation dealing with Depression.
One of the major deterrents to attending Counselling for the Australian community is the erroneous self held belief that we should be able to look after our self, unfortunately our social conditioning and childhood exposure to many and varied forms of dysfunctional social attitudes and behaviour leaves us with the mental impression and unfortunate state of habitual unconscious behaviour which our psyche reverts to when ever some emotional trigger of discomfort activates a contracting response fear driven, breath withholding response from old learned unconsciously stimulated behaviour.Andrew Johns the amazing football player in a down moment. His career was plagued by high personal expectations which most probably placed too great a demand on his total being and the slumps, wounds and disappoiintments were at times too distressing for him to manage, so he "partied" through them to arrive at an even great abyss to be met.
The dangers of being desk boundResearch just out suggests that those of us who spend long hours working at a desk are more likely to develop deep vain thrombosis (DVT).It was previously thought that DVT mainly struck passengers on long haul plane flights - not anymore. We look at the ways you can avoid this new office danger. Sitting at a desk for hours working at a computer may earn you brownie points with your boss, but doctors are now warning that it could also damage your health. While most of us are aware of the risks of sore eyes or a stiff neck, it now appears that lack of movement could make millions of workers vulnerable to a new health risk - 'e-thrombosis'.
E-thrombosis is a type of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and is the same condition known to affect airline passengers which has killed several apparently healthy passengers. Thrombosis, or blood clots, form when people are sitting for long periods in one place, especially where the legs may be cramped or circulation restricted. DVT has previously been linked with long haul air travel and with the elderly, but research just out of New Zealand suggests that office workers are also at risk. A study at the Medical Research Institute in Wellington, New Zealand, examined the cases of 62 people with DVT and discovered that 34 per cent had spent long periods sitting at their desks at work.
Relaxation techniques are valuable stress reducers. At a physical level they lower blood pressure, slow heart rate and breathing, and bring brain waves into Alpha mode, which is the ideal level of activity for creative problem solving, extracting things from your memory, and programming the subconscious with positive concepts (especially useful when goal setting).
Create a buffer zone between you and your trigger point. The more regularly you do any of these stress busters, the quicker the results.
Aim to create a routine, almost a ritual, to go with your main relaxation process.
Just beginning the familiar elements will trigger a drop in stress levels. You may use candles, a prayer, a familiar place, a particular posture or breathing routine.
Develop something you can use as a quick trigger wherever you are.
Begin your day with positive thoughts. (See affirmations below). If you are challenged for time, say (or better still sing) them in the shower, with as much emotion as you can.
Whenever you review what is coming up, phrase your thoughts positively, and expect the best possible outcome, even if you don't currently know what that is.

The late Ron Kurtz, Founder and originator of the Hakomi Method of Psychotherapy
We all get upset from time to time and like fine clocks some of us are more finely calibrated than others, so it takes very little to be disturbed or rocked from the general parameters of 'normality' and occasionally with a 'knock' we might miss a beat or two or possibly become derailed completely.
The human system is a classic organic clock with the heart keeping the beatWorking with and studying stress and trauma is exciting and rewarding to both our clients and our self as we take on broader, more expansive and deeper self awareness with body sensitive psychotherapy as a form of self study to better know and understand the path way upon which we make life's journey.
After spending most of my life denying or more to the point suppressing the exposure of my strong defensive emotion I have now progressed to a place confident enough in myself to allow my emotions to be expressed with the deliberate intention of getting the experience into the open where I can have a look at it and study the reasons underlying my regular disturbance and apparent lacking sense of safety about which I need to defend and protect myself.
Why am I afraid?
What am I afraid of?
Or am I afraid at all?
Counselling and Body Centered Psycho Therapy
....something seems to be missing in my life.Our Counsellors are trained, mature, experienced, professionally qualified, psycho therapists who are able to assist untangle lifes confusion of anxiety, frustration, depression or disappointments.
So you may clear your way from former inhibitions. Find and recover strengthen confidence and your self esteem so that you become mindful to emotional sensations, becoming self aware, in so doing we become able to avoid being disassociated or endlessly wounded, by feeling small, shy, frustrated, angry, embarrassed or simply not good enough.
Recent research progress is expanding social appreciation with awareness of somatic body therapy for physiological and psychological development detailing irrefutable, break through knowledge for the "progressive" rate and method of survival for all life forms including planet earth.
Technology and the internet is certainly mushrooming this renewed multi dimensional enlightening merge of scientific awareness coupled with biological evidence across every cellular memory of all living organicity of our universe.Most certainly this knowledge supports the physical practices of body massage therapy and psychotherapy to take on new found respect with greater sensitivity and understanding to the science of touch through actual body therapy and with it the release of all forms of unconsciously retained toxic energy, the unresolved waste of all trauma.
Now thoroughly qualified theses once theoretical studies reveal evolutionary developmental meaning wonderfully captured by the term meme a word coined by Professor Richard Dawkins (pictured) to describe the selfish gene is now being expanded into an advanced continuing technological evolutionary theory by Susan Blackmore.
Physiological and Personality Development
From our years of working "hands on" with massage and psycho therapy we do well know and understand the progressive influence to physical conformity often due to some restricted protective or defensive mental attitude, and burdened foundation experiences which also become apparent through developmental behaviour, body shaping stance, flexibility, movement and personality all contributing to structural conformity of body shape to survive in safety.
Our body and mind therapy is about releasing those unconscious withholding constrictions due to false alarms and inherited mental patterns to allow the human body to fully develop its natural potential to simply be itself.
Passive Aggressive Personality Disorder
People with PAPD are characterized by covert obstructionism, procrastination, stubbornness, and inefficiency. Such behavior is a manifestation of passively expressed underlying aggression. In the DSM-IV the disorder is also called negativistic PD.
1 - PAPD patients characteristically procrastinate, resist demands for adequate performance, find excuses for delays, and find fault with those on whom they depend; yet they refuse to extricate themselves from the dependent relationships. 2 - They usually lack assertiveness and are not direct about their own needs and wishes. They fail to ask needed questions about what is expected of them and may become anxious when forced to succeed or when their usual defense of turning anger against themselves is removed.
3 - In interpersonal relationships, these people attempt to manipulate themselves into a position of dependence, but others often experience this passive, self-detrimental behavior as punitive and manipulative. 4 - People with this disorder expect others to do their errands and to carry out their routine responsibilities. 5 - Friends and clinicians may become enmeshed in trying to assuage the patients' many claims of unjust treatment. 6 - The close relationships of people with PAPD, however, are rarely tranquil or happy. Because they are bound to their resentment more closely than to their satisfaction, they may never even formulate goals for finding enjoyment in life. 7 - People with this disorder lack self-confidence and are typically pessimistic about the future.
Recognizing the signs, symptoms and effects
All children get fidgety or impatient from time to time. Now and then, their attention wanders or they need to run around and blow off steam. And as we know, sometimes kids say the darndest things. But when inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior are the norm for a child, it may be a sign of ADHD. ADHD can lead to problems at home and at school, with family, teachers, and peers, so it's important to identify the symptoms and get help.
What is ADD or ADHD?You know these kids: the ones who can't sit still, the ones who never seem to listen, who don't follow instructions no matter how clearly you present them, who blurt out inappropriate comments at inappropriate times. There's at least one in every classroom, and that one may be yours, because attention deficit disorder (ADD) affects people across the spectrum of race, class, gender, and age.
Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder (ADD/ADHD) is a neurological condition that makes it difficult for people to inhibit their spontaneous responses-responses that can involve movement, speech, and attentiveness. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that between 3 and 5 percent of children in the United States have ADHD. This means that in a classroom of 25 to 30 children, at least one is likely to have ADHD.
Types of ADD/ADHDThere are three subtypes of ADD/ADHD:
1 - Predominantly inattentive 2 - Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive 3 - Combined: inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive That means children with ADD/ADHD don't all have the same problems. Some are hyperactive, while others sit quietly (with their attention miles away). Some put too much focus on a task and have trouble shifting it to something else. Others are only mildly inattentive but overly impulsive. Still others have significant problems in all three areas.
ADHD in FemalesAlicia M. Zukas
Grace is a second grader. She sits quietly with her hand folded in front of her and watches tv. She sees Dumbo and thinks of the stuffed elephant on her bed. She remembers her brother winning it for her at a carnival, where she got to ride a pony and eat cotton candy. A few minutes pass, and Grace has no idea what is happening around her or on the cartoon. She is not worried, because there really isn't a time that her mind is not wandering. Grace is a well mannered little girl, but suffers from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Like most girls with ADHD, she is not physically hyperactive like the common misconception of people with ADHD. She represents a quarter of the undiagnosed cases of ADHD in females (1). According to the site "What is ADHD..." to be diagnosed as ADHD, a person must fit at least six of the following hyperactive/ impulsive characteristic:
1 - often fidgets with hands or squirms in seat; 2 - often leaves seat in classroom or in other situations in which remaining seated is expected; 3 - often runs about or climbs excessively in which it is inappropriate (in adolescents and adults, may be limited to subjective feelings of restlessness); 4 - often has difficulty playing or engaging in leisure activities quietly; 5 - is often "on the go" or often acts as if "driven by a motor" á often talks excessively; 6 - often blurts out answers before questions have been completed; á often has difficulty awaiting turn; 7 - often interrupts or intrudes on others (e.g. butts into conversations or games) Hyperactivity and impulsiveness are not both needed to be ADHD. An ADHD individual without hyperactivity is interchangably referred to as ADD, which most ADHD females are.
Early Years Of John Winston Ono LennonNot until one is really prepared to look at and makes a study of the amazing peacework John Winston Ono Lennon performed through out his short life as he evolved from basically a neglected abandoned orphan in the occasional care of his Aunt Mimi does one begins to wonder just how the mind of man develops considering we are all unique individuals.
John Winston Ono Lennon was an enlightened soul freed from dysfunctional bondage which often traps us in multiple forms of dependency and attachment.
Such a beautiful sensitive knowing soul living on with us through his courage and music to free the wold of bondage and greed.
A Beautiful boyIn the documentary The U.S. vs. John Lennon we are given a very interesting overview of the patriarchal domination and corruption of the order of the world according to the disgraced US president Richard Nixon who history has shown obviously would go to any length to hold power.
Seems as though the identical situation is occurring now as we approach the 2008 Beijing Olympics as China's wicked oppression of its people is receiving some exposure in the international media, however very little will change as the great martyrs of the world have proved since time began. They have all been shot or crucified for the cause.
Such is the shame ridden and fear blinded world in which many remain imprisoned.In saying many remain imprisoned I mean mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually and psychologically imprisoned because we have unconsciously developed a natural personality or set of fear motivated behavioural practices, both conscious and unconscious, setting up an ever vigilant arousal to any perceived danger as we have needed to protect our self from very very early child hood traumatic wounding.
Many people do actually believe they have to fight to stay alive. Fight to accumulate, to fearfully protect, to keep, their valueless toys, and egotistically held possessions of status.
That is so so sad. So so sad. When there is more than enough to go around for all.
HOW EASY IT IS TO LOOSE OUR WAYIn a letter from America when the Late John Lennon was being a home Dad he wrote to his sister saying :
"During these past five years I have been able to
liberate myself from my own reality"
In another famous quote Albert Einstein said much the same: A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space.
He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. --Albert Einstein
These wise and wonderful men above lead my mind off to a place of wonderment. Yes I wondered what each of these famous minds actually meant and if we have become lost and deluded how on earth it did happen.
More to the point is it still happening now and if so what can we do about it.
With thanks to my many self development lessons, which I joking say were, have been and are mostly thick brick walls, I have decided to look at things around my world in a new light having realised that if I change the way I look at things the things I kook at change.

Observation by Rod McClure JP
Over the years many of us have experienced moments of anxiety to varying degrees, just yesterday I made mentioned to Carol my partner about one of her grand sons starting school that day, immediately her eyes welled with fresh tears as the realisation of the little baby boy was moving out of hisinfant zone and growing up to 'big school boy'.
Even though this little man has already experienced a graduation from "Gum Nuts" to "Dolphins" however the big school calls for big hats and big school bags, new lunch boxes and big school clothes.
Obviously this touching moment set off some deep seated or shallow seated lurking emotion memory within her being. After many years of self development our awareness to these natural instances becomes accepted, allowed, expressed and understood after all there is a sense of bonding loss in such a weaning, a separation and with this there is natural grief to be experienced as there is with any loss. We are experiencing more cases of anxiety in our work as the world "progress". Of course as we become more sensitive and familiar with our selves we also become more aware of this unconscious wound of separation which actually begins in this life at our day of birth, the more esoteric teachings may take this situation to the beginning of living existence. We prefer to just work from a level where all people may accept, their birth. This infant has "bubbled "along dividing and developing for 280 or so days, or about 10 moons from conception. All snug as a bug in a rug tucked up in Mothers warm nourishing womb and then at some pre determined hour the flood gates open and we are pressured to make our way out down a narrow dark passage and into this whole new noisy world of bright lights, new sterile smells and the incredible and frightening experience of having air enter our lungs as the embryonic fluids and fetal meconium are cleared from our air ways .
Multiplication is the name of the game and each generation just plays it the same.So what is happening in New South Wales alone for 14,482 couples or 28,964 individuals in 2006 to have their marriages legally terminated by divorce and separation after being together on average for 7.6 years.Immediately we identify a direct relationship with financial pressure and interest rates.
Maybe in this study we have actually found an explanation for the foundation of the "7 year itch", however we would like to offer an opportunity to actually study just what is happening in your relationship and why you or your partner think separation will make either or both of you happy.
Yes, sure you will be able to come and go and spend time and money as you please.But what exactly is it that you think your partner is doing to you which will change in you when the offending partner is out of your life.
Spiritual Implications of Brain Researchby Peter Holleran
"There is no machine that can measure a person's realization."
- Tsoknyi RinpocheThis will be a short summary of the results of brain-wave studies conducted on mediators over the past thirty years, and conclusions that may be drawn from them.
One of the first areas of study involved Transcendental Meditation (TM). While touting the many healthy benefits of meditation, it was shown that TM reduced certain brain wave frequencies and increased others in research subjects, which was assumed to imply stress reduction. There has been much written, both pro and con regarding these results and other effects of the technique and organization.
According to TM, slowing alpha activity during meditation indicates deeper relaxation. This conclusion was challenged, however, by Arthur Janov and his associates at the Primal Institute in Los Angeles. Janov conducted his own studies after having some advanced Vedanta monks come to his clinic for therapy after suffering nervous breakdowns. Janov was of the opinion after seeing such types that meditation was definitely "anti-primal", or dissociative of the body and feelings.
His research showed that in neurotic meditators (i.e.,those who had not done primal therapy) the results were similar to those produced by the TM people, with reduced alpha and beta wave frequencies, but that the wave amplitude was increased, which to him implied that an element of deep repression still existed in the meditators.
In other words, the TM form of meditation they did only achieved symptom suppression (pseudo-calmness) and not deep release or healing of core repressed pain. The natural history of the nervous system remained intact, and there was no integration between the reptilian, limbic, and cortical levels of the brain, which when achieved Janov saw as the sign of mental health and freedom from neurosis.
A Simpler WayMargaret Wheatley & Myron Kellner-Rogers
Being some what conversant with Margaret J Wheatley's earlier work in Leadership and the New Science a 1992 publication by Berrett- Koehler Publishers Inc. we came upon a review of the above book by Paul Schumann and decided to post some points of interest from that review here on our Relationship Counselling segment for those people interested in expanding their understanding of self, systems generation and group dynamics as we progress towards a wholesome momentary understanding, towards the ever evolving possibility and potential of the 'self'.
"Aggression is inherently destructive of relationships. People and ideologies are pitted against each other, believing that in order to survive, they must destroy the opposition." Margaret J. Wheatley So our Counselling motto is
If we change the way we look at things the things we look at can change.
This way we all have the opportunity to grow and progress towards a wholesome organism
To actually become aware of the self just as we are in the moment..
Our intention here is for the possibility of seeing that maybe we could get on better with those around us if we loosened up some of our old attitudes and expectations.
That is of course taking into consideration the possibility that we are prepared to 'turn the other cheek' or in other words step back for moment and mindfully study and observe what is occurring with in us at any given moment when we feel some what disturbed, up set, angry, offended or excited.
"Facing Off" with the LOVE ABLE SELFAnthropologist Helen Fisher studies gender differences and the evolution of human emotions. She's best known as an expert on romantic love, and her beautifully penned books -- including Anatomy of Love and Why We Love -- lay bare the mysteries of our most treasured emotion. In this recent lecture anthropologist Helen questions us and discusses love.
Why do we crave love so much, even to the point that we would die for it?
To learn more about our very real, very physical need for romantic love, Helen Fisher and her research team took MRIs of people in love -- and people who had just been dumped.
This makes for some very interesting primal, organic, biological questioning and most definitely sheds more light and knowledge into our basic need for a mate to share the intimacy associated with the highest prize of relationship.

Richard Iggo graduated in physiology and medicine from the University of Bristol in 1984. He trained in Internal Medicine at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford and the Hammersmith Hospital, London. In 1987 he became a clinical fellow in David Lane's lab and received his PhD from the University of London in 1991.
He was then appointed as a junior group leader at the Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research, Lausanne, where he was promoted to senior scientist in 1997.
He was appointed to the chair of Molecular Medicine at the University of St Andrews in 2005 and to a chair of Cell Biology at the University of Bordeaux in 2008.
Understanding breast cancer to develop new treatments
The Iggo lab has two main goals: to understand the function of genes defective in breast cancer, and to improve the treatment of breast cancer. To achieve the former, the lab tests potential oncogenes for their ability to convert normal breast cells into tumour cells. To achieve the latter, the lab studies gene signatures of breast tumours treated with chemotherapy at the Bergonié Cancer Institute.
Many drugs currently used to treat breast cancer have major side effects. By limiting more toxic drugs to patients unlikely to respond to simpler treatments, substantial morbidity could be avoided without compromising the outcome for individual patients. Microarrays provide an unbiased means to identify markers that predict response to treatment. We have performed microarray analysis of breast cancer biopsies taken in the context of a multicentre academic clinical trial (EORTC 10994) organised by Hervé Bonnefoi at the Bergonié Cancer Institute.
To predict the response of individual tumours to the drugs used in the study, we first developed a new approach to disentangle the known biological factors that dominate the expression profiles of breast tumours. The only factor that survived rigorous testing in other datasets was stroma (Farmer et al 2009). There are many possible explanations for this result, but the simplest is that stromal fibroblasts secrete proteins that help the tumour cells to survive in the presence of chemotherapy. Whatever the mechanism, it is a weak effect that requires confirmation in an experimental model before attempting to exploit it in the clinic. Future work will address this issue by comparing the response to chemotherapy of xenografts in mice.
Analysis of the underlying patterns of gene expression in tumours from the EORTC 10994 trial showed that the tumours fall naturally into three major groups. These correspond to three cell types: ER+/AR+ luminal cells, ER‑/AR‑ basal cells and ER‑/AR+ molecular apocrine cells. The molecular apocrine group is closely related to the ERBB2+ tumour class identified by scientists at Stanford. The pattern of steroid receptor expression suggests that tumours in the apocrine group are distinguished by unopposed androgen signalling (Farmer et al 2005). To understand how normal breast cells develop into these three different types of tumour, we have established cell culture models that allow us to convert mammary epithelial cells into tumour cells. To do this we use lentiviral vectors to introduce cDNAs and microRNAs into normal human mammary epithelial cells derived from reduction mammoplasty tissue (Duss et al 2007).

Presently, we live in a time that is often referred to as "the Information Era". This title serves as a testament to our societies' ever expanding desire and ability to receive information and stay well-informed about the world, the people in it, and the events that occur in it. As we previously discussed, the Internet excels in providing the latest information about anything one could want to know about. However, besides providing information, the Internet also possess the more controversial function of storing information.
The balance of publicity and privacy has been a longstanding issue amongst the users of the Internet. With online communication mediums and methods, like social networks, gaming communities, etc., in order to access and use these online formats, it is commonly required to set up an account first. The basic format of this process is, for the most part, the same for all online accounts, though the details can vary. Most accounts and profiles require people to input information such as their age, email address, gender, and current residential area. The majority of Internet users might not object to providing this personal information, but there are some websites that require even more specific and personal information, and this can cause controversy. For what reasons should a website require certain personal information? For what reasons should someone not have to reveal certain personal information?

First Drive: 2018 Kia Rio EX
BALTIMORE, Maryland—It's raining hard on Interstate 95 South, visibility is poor, and an 18-wheeler with a heavy load is in front of us, drifting between the lane lines.
I was feeling a little uneasy sitting behind the wheel of the all-new 2018 Kia Rio EX, but thankfully, help was on the way.
After putting the subcompact in sport mode, I stepped on the accelerator and away we went, easily passing the trucker on a 5 percent grade at about 65 mph.
I was impressed and relieved. The five-door hatchback from Kia may be small, but it can dart like a fox when you need it to.
The fourth-generation Rio is also available as a sedan, but today we are driving the hatchback with an automatic transmission and the range-topping EX launch edition trim, which is limited to 1,000 units. Aside from the top EX trim, the Rio will be available in LX and S trims when it goes on sale later in the year.
The list of standard safety features is pretty basic for a modern car. It includes six airbags, side impact door beams, electronic stability control, antilock brakes, and stability control.
Earlier in the day, Orth Hedrick, Kia's VP of product planning, told us how the Rio's structure makes use of high strength steel to help increase durability, collision test performance, and torsional stiffness for improved handling and ride quality.
The extra metal and special industrial adhesives help reduce noise, vibration, and other sounds from the road, especially in the rear area of the hatchback.
Fortunately, aside from applying the ABS hard for a missed turn, we didn't feel the need to test the rest of the car's safety features. Despite its diminutive size, it feels safe on the highway, in the city, and on wet and slippery backroads.
"This is my daily driver. It's easy to park and it's also our number-one seller," Hedrick says. (Kia sold 18,699Rios last year and 576,531since its 2000 debut.)
"Rio makes significant improvements over its predecessor in design, technology, and passenger comfort, resulting in an even better value proposition, while raising the bar in the small car segment."
For 2018, the Rio packs a tweaked 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that offers 130 hp and 119 lb-ft of torque. That's 8 hp and 4 lb-ft of torque less than last year's model. Power is delivered to the front wheels via a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.
It won't win many races, but the loss of horses helps bump up fuel economy an extra mile. The Rio is now rated at a decent 28/37 mpg city/highway for the automatic and 29/37 mpg for the manual version.
Compared to Kia's Soul, the Rio appeals to more conservative tastes with its traditional hatchback body style, sweptback LED headlights, and redesigned tiger nose grille that resembles a recently slayed Dodge Dart's mug. The Rio offers a more chiseled and aerodynamic design compared to the boxy Soul as well.
The Rio sedan has been lengthened to 172.6 inches from the outgoing model's 172.0 inches, while the Rio 5-door is now 160.0 inches long, up from 159.4 inches. Both also feature a longer wheelbase of 101.6 inches, up from 101.2 inches, and are also and wider compared to the outgoing models.
Kia fits the Rio with 15-inch wheels, a fully independent MacPherson strut front suspension, and a torsion beam rear axle. Stopping power comes from 11-inch disc brakes up front and drum brakes in the rear for the cheaper base models.
Fortunately, the EX model we tested gets 10.3-inch rear disc brakes, and autonomous emergency braking is available as an option.
Inside, our EX tester received Launch Edition red trim—a nice touch for the simple and modern interior space. Horizontal lines run along the width of the dashboard and the center console offers a bilevel tray for phones.
The sedan's passenger space is 89.9 cubic feet while the hatchback's measures 90.5 cubic feet. Front occupants get more headroom, leg room, and shoulder room while those in the second row receive more leg and shoulder room—provided the driver or front passenger is no taller than 6 feet. The front seats are roomy enough to accommodate a 6-foot-2-inch occupant but won't leave any legroom for rear passengers.
Cargo room in the sedan sits at 13.7 cubic feet and grows to 17.4 cubic feet for the hatchback. With the seats folded down, the hatchback offers 32.8 cubic feet with a low and flat cargo floor to accommodate lots of cheap stuff.
On the tech front, there's a standard six-speaker stereo with satellite radio, five-inch touchscreen, and a rearview camera system. The top-tier EX trim gets a 7.0-inch floating touchscreen, UVO3 voice recognition infotainment system, and smartphone integration through Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Pretty fancy stuff for the sub-compact class and all easy and very intuitive to use.
Overall, the 2018 Kia Rio is a good value for the budget conscious. It offers a mostly smooth, modern ride at a low price that's hard to beat.
Both versions are built in Monterrey, Mexico and expected to arrive at dealerships in the late fall.

The hyphenated anarchists can be a combative bunch. I've done my share of arguing from an Ancap perspective, against sects of the movement I believe wish to achieve freedom- so long as it is done their way. Tired and stale as the news on it may be, the Occupy Movement lends itself well to unification behind a few vital, strategy-related principles for pushing back the state. Libertarian and anarchist circles have reacted to the Movement in a number of ways, ranging from complete dismissal to complete embrace. The implications of the current Movement, which has now spread to Europe, are too large not to take advantage of, but in a measured way. Because the Movement presents an opportunity for all libertarian sects to make progress, I will include all factions under the umbrella term "Anti-States" for the purposes of this piece.
The Occupy Movement is by no means monolithic. Indeed, it has no unifying theme at all. Occupiers range from well-educated End the Fed types to tired old hippies looking for something, anything, to whine about. Many are just disgruntled and jobless, with no conception of why. It's understandably sexy to any Anti-State to watch an affront to the establishment. Many have balked, because much of the Movement is not only diametrically opposed to the Anti-State's ends, but is also employing some rather grotesque means to get there (many have no idea where "there" is). Others have fully embraced the Movement, albeit without a coherent strategy for battling against the coercive State.
The most obvious and probably the most important fact about OWS is that tens of thousands of would be activists are gathered in unison, revolting against the harsh realities that have resulted from public policy. It should not be an immediate concern that so many protesters are ignorant as to what has caused their misfortune. The Anti-State's first job is to educate. The pupils have gathered in mass.
Though the protests lack cohesiveness, anti-capitalism is ubiquitous. An overwhelming majority of protesters have reversed causality, and demand that the benevolent state bring the corporations and bankers under control. Lost is the fact that our fascist system demands an unchecked state to empower and protect big business; without the state's monopoly on force, there would be no TARP. There would be no bailouts. There would be no protection for the all powerful central bank, which has destroyed our currency. The goal of the powerful State is more power. The means of gaining and retaining that power are found within the realm of the State's partnership with industry. The fascist machine is self-feeding, and only grows until it is dismantled completely.
The semantic battle over the word "capitalism" aside, it is lamentable that so few recognize that we have lived in a de facto fascist state, and at the very least a feudalist one, for the greater part of America's history. Capitalism in the minds of the majority of Americans is a concept far displaced from laissez faire policy. In picturesque straight jacket fashion, the people clamor for a larger and more coercive State to save them from the ills of the large and coercive State.
Through provocative signs, personal interaction, observance of police brutality, and any other opportunities that may present themselves, the Occupy Movement gives Anti-States a chance to educate and spark thought in the minds of thousands of people who are clearly not apathetic. At the same time, we have the opportunity to offer a different perspective to the world as it watches; a perspective of peace, intellect, and virtue. As the police riot, we film. As the statists defecate, we educate. The media cannot contain the raw footage, the real time stories, or the reality on the ground as it once could.
As any modern activist knows, ideas spread quickly and exponentially. Fertile minds are hard to find, but the sheer numbers participating in and paying attention to the Occupy Movement are promising. The Anti-State works in the arena of ideas, teaching people TO think, rather than WHAT to think. OWS is an opportunity not to be missed, and it's probably spread to a city near you. Get out there. Pour some gas on the fire.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped below 10,000 on Tuesday (lending more evidence to my theory that the 21st century will not belong to the USA, but to robots, which prompted me to review some of my investments. Turns out I still have zero investments, so I used the spare time to think up some cheap summer date ideas. Here they are:
- Picnic
I've written before how to prepare and execute the perfect summer picnic, but here's the twist: make it dirty. Nothing more fun for a guy than a surprise oral session while we're lying back on a blanket, having just eaten ourselves into a delightful near-coma.
- Walks
This sounds so unoriginal, but I know I like someone new when all I want to do is just walk around with them. There's something wholly relaxing about a nice walk, but also something reassuring about just talking with someone, getting to know them and knowing that you don't need a movie, drinks, or an activity to be together (note: drinks aren't an impossibility on this date: you could always bring a to-go cup, or as I call it, a "Johnny O Cup.")
- Boats, Boats, Boats
With apologies to anyone who does not live near water—there's something incredibly romantic about being on the water together, whether it's just on a pedal boat in the local park, or a cruise around the waterfront of your city. As a Canadian, I have to mention that the true test for my countrymen is whether they can make love in a canoe or not. Not telling whether I've passed or failed.
- Running
The second most fun way to get all sweaty with a date. Whether you're a work-out-with-a-buddy person or not, I find that going for a run with someone is a fun way to share a challenge (this last word is very pertinent to my situation, because I am awful at running) and exchange chit chat, get fit, and talk about your day (flirty date tip: try stopping at some point, catching your breath, and when he comes over to ask if you're okay, give him a deep kiss—then run off again).
- Johnny-O Cup
I mentioned this in number 2, but heck, I'm giving it its own heading. I realized while writing this, that whether I'm taking a walk around my neighborhood, or just heading up to my roof to look at the moon, I really like bringing a drink to go. VERY IMPORTANT: I would never encourage you to do anything illegal or untoward, so make sure if you're doing the Johnny O Cup, you are doing it within the confines of your local laws. I use a coffee cup for wine, a coke can for whiskey/cokes, and a plastic water bottle for vodka drinks. So cheesy, but whatever, sue me, it's fun.
Times are tough. But there's no drought of originality out there. How interesting and fun a date can be is totally up to you, not your pocketbook. So go forth, enjoy the sun, and the grass stains.
What's your favorite summer date? What's the most surprising summer date you've ever been taken on?

"At the outset it appeared helpful to begin any analysis of the vampire not with its earliest appearances in (pre-)Romantic literature, but rather to go back into the folkloristic sources of vampire lore. Some obvious questions to pursue, then, were: Why and where did the idea of modern vampirism (as opposed to the belief in the lamiae and succubi of classical antiquity) spring up? And why has it had such a grip on the public consciousness since the fifteenth century? The outcome of my research yielded the following results: outbreaks of the plague, cannibalism, ancestor worship and human/blood sacrifice, necrophilia, catalepsy, premature burials, body snatching, and the discovery of vampire bats in South and Central America - all these occurrences in one way or another contributed to the belief in and to manefestations of vampirism.
However, I did not see myself in a position to write the ultimate, all-inclusive vampire encyclopedia, and thus I was forced to restrict myself to a more narrowly defined enterprise."
These are parts of the first chapter in a book called Blood Obsession: Vampires, Serial Murder, and the Popular Imagination by Jörg Waltje who is Assistant Professor of Modern Languages and Director of the Language Resource Center at Ohio University. The book was published by Peter Lang Publishing in 2005.
And this certainly is a more narrowly defined enterprise: 157 pages attempting to answer the question: What is it about vampires that fascinates the human imagination?. Well, the author has obviously studied both Freud and Todorov, and he mainly focuses on the fictional vampire, so this is not a book of particular interest for those who are interested in folklore and the history of Magia Posthuma.
"The most important findings of" his inquiry is summarised this way (p. 142):
"1. the vampire functions as a perfect model for generic fiction in general;
2. generic fiction is successful since it caters to the underlying mechanisms of our psyche; and
3. if we can trust Freud at all, human behavior in general is compulsive."
So if this is your thing, and you are intrigued to understand these findings, get the book. Otherwise you will be better off buying another book.
In the meantime we are still looking forward to the ultimate, all-inclusive vampire encyclopedia ...

Over 40 New Foundations-AVP volunteer facilitators and project board members met on a Saturday in November to share their vision for New Foundations-AVP and develop a plan to achieve that vision. Participants expressed a desire for two things:
- Outreach – to offer AVP to a broader range of audiences, experiment with the format and content in delivering AVP, and network with other community organizations.
- Volunteer Engagement – to increase diversity in our corps of volunteers, build a strong community of support among volunteers, and provide more resources and support to people being released from prison.
The participants were then asked to assess the organization's strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities. Based on this analysis, three critical success factors to achieve our vision were identified for New Foundations in 2017:
- Resources and Fundraising– Develop and implement a strategy and specific action plans to increase revenues by 50% and in-kind support necessary to achieve the vision of expanding AVP and supporting its volunteers.
- Volunteer Development – Identify and implement strategies and action plans to improve volunteer engagement and community building.
- Community Outreach and Growth – Explore opportunities to expand AVP into the community as well as in new criminal justice settings.
A special thanks to Larry Rowland and Susan LeTerneau who facilitated the successful event. We also extend special appreciation to Jeff London for finding sponsors for the event -the Metropolitan State University Criminal Justice Honors Organization who provided the Tivoli Multicultural Room on the Auraria Campus and the Metropolitan State University Provost and Dean for the delicious breakfast and lunch.

New Giveaway Details - Win A Collection of Antique Ads from the 1800's
I was going through a pile of old paper in my studio and I came across an envelope filled with antique add snippets.

So I thought it would be fun to offer these original antique ads up for a giveaway on my blog! The winner will receive an envelope filled with all the ads you see displayed below (I laid them out so you can see them next to the collage sheet), and there were about 5 or 6 additional ads in the envelope that did not make it on to the collage sheet that will be included too.

Who knows... your favourite card or collage sheet may appear in the the package as well if you are the winner so chose carefully!

So many of you have signed up for the Remains of the Day class from Mary Ann Moss. I was hesitant at first since I had only used a sewing machine once or twice and was a bit intimidated. Well, encouragement from some friends spurred me to purchase a simple machine and try the class.
I did make the cover, but I did not love it, knowing me as you do - I love paper, and so a fabric cover was hard for me. So what I have done was used her class and added my own style to it. I found my pages fit into the covers of an antique bound magazine perfectly. I still need to alter the cover, but I was eager to stitch in the signatures I had made.
I loved Mary Ann's way of creating pages for my signatures, but again, I could not rely completely on sewing. I had to tape and paste some things in as well. I even tore some pages out of a journal I had made a while back that I was not happy with the spiral binding so I could cut and sew them in as well. So now I like doing that, collaging a part of a page then sewing it in amidst the rest.
So here are some photos of my pages that I made into a slide show -I only am showing you my favourites - I have 3 signatures of 6 sewn in this book (I used the Teesha Moore style of stitching) so that is a lot of pages and would bore you I am certain).
You can view the individual photos in my flickr stream or on my miscellany journal page. But the two I liked most are below. If you took the class, please leave a link to where I can see your pages!

There really is nothing better than having like minded friends willing to trade favourite supplies with you.
Michelle Geller of Hold Dear and I met a few years ago at Silver Bella. I was just remembering recently how we were on the shuttle to or from the airport and I kept saying how familiar her name was, I mean I kept going on and on. Finally, sweet thing that she is, she says "maybe you are thinking of Sarah Michelle Geller?" and I was so embarrassed (I did NOT want to admit that Buffy the Vampire Slayer was one of my most favourite shows!). Anyway, she overlooked my dorkiness and we became fast friends. Since then I have seen her at several other events and we are thinking about a get together with Kari this year.
So - I made a comment on her blog about some starburst dennison labels she posted - and next thing you know we decided to do a swap. All I can is wow. I love every piece she packed into a cigar box stuffed full of goodies for me. She spoiled me. Here is a little taste of what she sent:
If you want to see what I sent her - peek here.
All this talk of old paper gave me a wonderful idea for another giveaway - this time it will be open to everyone... stay tuned for more details, but here is a sneak peek at what I am planning:

We just dug my car out of over 2 1/2 feet of snow (and my car is tiny so it was a lot of digging). Maryland streets are still a mess, and guess what. We are expecting another 1-2 feet in the next 24 hours!
Good thing I got out to Barnes & Noble for a few magazines and and a new book before I am snowed in yet again!

SummaryCustoms scenarios make this one replayable
The GoodI don't have much to add to the other reviews here. The sound, graphics, user interface and so on are all done very well here. As has been pointed out, the graphics on the playing field in particular are noticeably superior to those of the popular Command & Conquer series from Westwood.
The basic concept - form and execute a plan to overcome the opposition by marshalling diverse resources and defeating it in battle - is one I've always enjoyed. The underlying idea is not that different from chess, although of course in the RTS genre the opposing sides do not wait to take turns.
Chess is also a good analogy in particular for Warcraft II in that the two sides, while appearing different on the surface, are in fact fairly similar in capabilities. Not being a teenage boy, I haven't ever played the orcish side, but I can't really see much difference between a juggernaut and a battleship, or a dragon and a gryphon.
One item that needs to be stressed is the custom scenario editor. I haven't used it myself, but many others have, and it's finding the results of their efforts that have extended this game's life for me (more below).
The BadWith one exception, most of my reservations are nit-picking:
- the scoring system emphasizes the number of enemies killed. The score is meaningless in any practical sense anyway, but it would be nice if cleverness could be rewarded somehow. A neat win is esthetically more pleasing to me.
- the user interface is not quite as rock-solid as I would like. When the pointer gets near the edge of the screen in particular is where the chances of unintended results get quite high.
- if I saved and reloaded a scenario in progress, it sometimes seemed as if all my enemies had suddenly quit playing. I got in the habit of rebooting the whole game every time I wanted to resume a saved scenario, which seemed to always give me enemies minded to fight.
- in this version there is an apparently unintentional play imbalance. In scenarios where both sides start with fairly limited resources, one strategy is to create a barracks before a town hall, create a warrior, and send it after the opponent while it's still possible for one warrior to destroy everything the opponent has. I've won scenarios with this sort of "blitzkrieg" attack, but it's not very satisfying. I've read that the "battle.net" edition has outlawed this strategy by forcing the technology tree to begin with a town hall, so apparently others don't like it much either.
- the included single-player campaign is only fifteen missions, which didn't seem long enough...
- ..but later I discovered all the included single player "built-in" and "custom" stand-alone scenarios (although as applied to what comes with the game itself, the distinction eludes me), and that was additional fun for a while. But eventually that led to my biggest objection:
- aside from the "blitzkrieg" strategy, there is only one other strategy needed, and that is to dig in, wait until your opponent runs out of resources, and then move in to destroy him. In fact, so all-encompassing is this strategy that I never needed to learn many of the capabilities of my "pieces" in order to win every scenario that came with the game.
Was this deliberate? One thing limiting resources does is also limit the time anyone spends playing a scenario, and that may have been a factor in Blizzard's design decisions. But the custom scenario editor in the proper hands proves that other decisions are possible. I've recently completed a scenario I found on the net ("Rocnor") that took me hours (possibly days) of real time to finish. The computer simply had inexhaustible resources and a very fast generation time for dragons from multiple roosts on a very well-protected island. My guard towers killed more than 20,000 of them by the time I won. More importantly, I couldn't win at all until I'd completely re-thought my strategies and also learned to employ some those mage spells I'd never had much use for.
Now that was fun! There's life in the old game yet.

Hiya, Doc! You have made a VERY good point here, regarding the King's English comments. I can't take those kind of remarks very seriously coming from someone who uses such poor grammar in his posts..."then" for "than," etc. Sorry, Robert, but YOUR own King's English seems a bit butchered to me. (But not to fear, I'd be happy to go over your errors with you, if you'd like an English lesson. And others here on this board could do an even better job than I.)
And if you really want to open up a discussion, to stimulate "closed minds," why do so in such an argumentative, nasty way? Because you think that will make people more receptive to different perspectives? WRONG, bucko!
I say, take your Tarleton & begone. I've seen enough historians go over the atrocities he DID commit to not worry one bit about the ones committed by a "look-alike" in a movie that acknowledges it is only loosely based on history.

Do what God desires of you!
Just as you ought to be courageous
in undertaking all that God desires of you
for his glory and the good of others,
so also, must you be constant
in your undertakings
and never give up,
no matter what opposition you meet,
unless there is nothing more you can do.
Maxim of Love 11:5
Jean-Pierre Medaille, SJ
Sharing our stories...
This week, with great joy and deep, personal satisfaction, we mailed out our invitations for the 30th anniversary celebration of The Upper Room Home of Prayer ministry. Yes, perseverance and constancy for thirty years in the same ministry! Thanks be to God. Thanks be to the People of God! When we gather as an Upper Room community on Pentecost Sunday – June 8th - to welcome our many guests, we will be resonating with this particular wisdom saying of Jean-Pierre Medaille. Our zeal in this ministry is an overflow of the love that God has continuously poured into our hearts. 'The glory of God and the good of others' has been our mission focus throughout the 30 years.
It is of critical importance in our spiritual journeys that we discern and embrace with courage and confidence "the undertaking of all that God desires of us." My call to live a more contemplative lifestyle was discerned over three years living at Lebh Shomea (Listening Heart) House of Prayer in South Texas back in the early 80's. As time went on, the interior promptings became increasingly stronger, and I might even say, urgent within me, that God was asking me to return to Canada and open a place of prayer and solitude in the city for any spiritual seeker to come and be nourished by either a time of retreat or personal spiritual direction. So, with the approval of my leadership council, I joyously said 'yes' to embarking upon the beginnings of a small Upper Room Home of Prayer ministry within the third floor of a convent home in Centertown Ottawa in the fall of 1984. Today, our ministry spreads out over four neighbouring dioceses and many companions share the ministry with us.
While it has not always been easy for others to comprehend or accept my/our choice of this way of life and ministry, the grace of God in the present moment sustained me/us and we kept moving forward. Sometimes, the opposition brought forth a deeply purifying-transforming love …and the gift of new programs, teachings, retreats, CD's... seemed to just happen. We are overflowing with gratitude to God for the abundance of good fruits that are manifesting in the lives of so many others.
This week, let our prayer for each other be a strengthening of that courage - 'Go do it!' - when God calls you to a particular ministry. From my experience, you will not be disappointed! You will have joy! And the world is waiting for your 'Yes'!!

If you're just tuning in...
Hunger is a growing issue at colleges across the US. As more students from diverse backgrounds are entering college with hopes of creating a better future, many are struggling to support themselves and finish their degrees. Across the country, 1 in 5 students regularly skip meals, having to prioritize the other costs associated with college. More on those costs below.
The students facing the greatest hardships are those from low-income backgrounds, those who are undocumented, those who have children, first-generation college students, and former foster youth. Even students who have a job, participate in some kind of campus meal plan, or utilize other financial assistance like Pell Grants experience food insecurity.
Why Students are Hungry
Costly housing, transportation, textbook, healthcare and other living expenses coupled with the rising cost of tuition have created great financial obstacles for college students, particularly those from non-traditional backgrounds which our country has seen an exciting boom in enrollment.
Financial aid programs and scholarships designed for low-income students fail to cover the bulk of their needs.
Furthermore, working while in school does not eliminate the threat of food insecurity.
While additional forms of assistance like local food pantries and food stamps exist, many students don't know these resources are available. Even if they do, there is a culture of stigma making many students feel embarrassed to take advantage of these services.
The Impacts of Hunger
Food insecurity has a number of destructive outcomes. Nutritional deficits pose a threat to a person's physical health and wellbeing. Furthermore, dealing with financial challenges can cause stress, distraction and other negative emotional responses. In the case of college students, the experience of food insecurity can compromise their academic performance and path to college completion.
The Role of Swipe Out Hunger
The traditional resources provided by universities, local non-profits, and the government are not equipped to provide students with the level of support they need to succeed during this very critical time. Swipe Out Hunger is dedicated to partnering with Universities to provide comprehensive services to support the wellbeing of these students.
Below are some articles and reports about campus hunger.

Junction Campground is located in the eastern high Sierra Nevada Mountains of California at just below 10,000 feet in elevation. The facility provides a quiet mountain getaway. It is within a 20 minute drive of Yosemite National Park and Mono Lake, and lies next to the Hoover Wilderness.
Natural Features:
The campground is situated in a high elevation pine forest near scenic Ellery Lake. Many species of wildlife call the mountains home, such as black bear, mountain lions, mule deer, pine marten, pika and numerous fish and birds.
Campers might like to relax and unwind by picnicking in the forested camping area or around the lake. The eastern Sierras are well-known for trout fishing, and Ellery Lake is no exception. Anglers can try their luck for rainbow, brook and brown trout from shore.
The majestic scenery and challenging trails are a big draw for hikers. Close by, campers can access the Twenty Lakes Basin Trail, which leads into the Hoover Wilderness.
Vault toilets and picnic tables are provided. Ellery Lake Campgound is a small facility with individual sites available on a first-come, first-served basis. Drinking water is NOT available at the campground. Boil river water before consumption.
Nearby Attractions:
The Mono Lake area and Yosemite National Park are great day trips, and hikers can access the spectacular scenery of the Hoover Wilderness via nearby trails.

earl-jonas - January 2, 2018
I have some bad news for those of you who always dreamt of becoming Mr. Paris Hilton someday - Paris Hilton is officially off the market. The modeling/acting/singing sensation announced her engagement to actor Chris Zylka with an Aspen photo shoot, which means that the two most famous celebrities to dabble in adult entertainment and release porn videos - Hilton and her former assistant turned friend turned more famous person Kim Kardashian - are taken. Times, they really are a changing, and if you were a man with a pulse in the 2000's, and are man enough to admit it, you know that you either pictured yourself getting with Hilton or Kardashian at some point. Today you must decide which taken sextastic lady you would rather hook up with, and you can check out some visual reference in the gallery to help you decide!

APPLE PIE: An American Story by John T. Edge
John T. Edge continues the series about iconic American food that he began with Fried Chicken. Charming and informative as ever, Edge travels the country interviewing all and sundry in search of the perfect apple pie. This is the same formula that kept me riveted in Fried Chicken but halfway through this book my interest waned. I suspect this is not Edge's fault but more due to the fact that I have a lukewarm interest in apple pie at best (again unlike fried chicken which, evidently, I can read about all day).
I found myself wanting to hear about other kinds of pie. This brought up vague memories of another book which sent me to the library where I found just what I was looking for, American Pie. If nothing else, I'm glad I read Apple Pie because I rediscovered that book. More about that later as I am rereading it now. In the meantime, if you have a love of apple pie, you may well enjoy this book. I am looking forward to the other books projected for the series ... about hamburgers and donuts.

The Outdoor Philosopher: Kate Rawles on Riding 'The Carbon Cycle'
Kate Rawles on her Mexico-to-Canada tour. Photo: Chris Loynes
Kate Rawles is an outdoor philosopher. That is a title she coined herself, and it is accurate in more than one way. She spends her professional life thinking about, talking about, and being in the outdoors, activities that culminated in the publication of The Carbon Cycle, her account of the three-month, 4,553-mile bike ride she undertook to better understand concepts and perception about climate change in the American West.
The Banff Center named The Carbon Cycle a finalist in the 2012 Banff Mountain Book Competition. Philip Connors' Fire Season took the prize, but the nomination helped bring Rawles' book to an audience outside her base in the United Kingdom. Adventure Ethics talked to Rawles, a lecturer in Outdoor Studies at the University of Cumbria, about outdoor philosophy, her ride, and the resulting book.
What is outdoor
I spend a lot of time talking about human-nature relationships, but I was doing this inside lecture halls, and there were no other species in the room. The whole thing felt very abstract, so over time I started to take those classes outside more and more.
Outdoor philosophy means getting outside the classroom. I often take my classes sea kayaking and they have a very powerful engagement with a very different landscape. There is a motivation aspect, too. It's not just exploring the topic academically but encouraging students to act on behalf of the environment.
The Carbon Cycle is based on the conversations about climate change
that you had with hundreds of people during the course of your
Mexico-to-Canada bike ride. How did the book come into being?
I always loved cycling and mountains and I've done a number of trips over the years, but wanted to do a bigger trip. I wanted to use it as a way of communicating about climate change. I wanted to raise awareness rather than money. And I wanted to connect what is known, academically, about climate change with what is happening on the ground.
I wanted it to be adventurous enough to get people's attention. I used the bike ride almost like a Trojan horse, to get to people who would not necessarily pick up a book about climate change, and get them to talk about it with me.
The trip was 4,553 miles and I tried to follow the spine of the Rockies as much as possible, I crossed the Continental Divide about 20 times.Describe the conversations you had throughout the trip.
The idea from the start was to talk to as many people as I could. Fox News at the time was hardly reporting on climate change and there were people who didn't know what I meant—I was surprised by how many. This was in 2006, but I think most people in Europe had heard of it by then. In New Mexico, someone commented on how hot it was. I asked if they thought it had to do with climate change, and they said, "No, you won't see anything with climate change until you get further north!" But on the other end of the spectrum, there were people who were very knowledgeable.
I typically didn't start the conversation with climate change. Sometimes if I brought up climate change or global warming, they would veer off and change the subject. Not always, though. Sometimes I got really passionate responses. People in Wyoming warned me that I should be careful, because it was Dick Cheney's state and they said I should not talk about the oil industry.
I had also set up interviews, such as with the mayor of Albuquerque. I stopped at the Rocky Mountain Institute and a wind-powered brewery—New Belgium in Fort Collins, Colorado. I studied environmental ethics at Colorado State University, so that was a homecoming.
Have you kept in
touch with anyone you met on the road?
I was cycling up a big long hill, and a big maroon car came and cruised right next to me. The driver rolled down the window and asked if I'd like a Gatorade. I was probably dehydrated but I said, "No, thanks." He asked again and I said, "No, really"—I was kind of annoyed. When I got to top of hill, on the side of the road there was a cold bottle of Gatorade. I drank it.
Three days later, I was leaving Rocky Mountain National Park and he drove past again, stopped and asked if I drank the Gatorade. "I knew you were dehydrated," he said. His name is Mike. He said he definitely thought climate change was a bunch of crock. I sent him the book, and I am going to wait for him to read it and then see what he thinks.
Could outdoor
philosophy evolve into an actual field of study?
I think so. We're setting up a certificate program called Environmental Leadership in the Outdoor Industry. People who work in the outdoor field—for Outward Bound or similar groups—they don't necessarily know the big picture. They know about footpath impacts [from overuse or poor design], but they might not have training in more global issues like climate change.
So the idea is to raise their awareness and then think of ways that they can raise awareness in their own client groups. It's also about teaching them how to reduce the environmental impact of what they do. That could mean using more efficient busses to transport groups, or doing trips in less remote areas.
Climate change is
impacting glaciers and mountain environments, so they're on the front lines in
some ways.
Yes, and you have a very strong foundation to build on because these people are already in love with these places. But they might not realize the links between travel, energy consumption, and the impact they're having on the places that they love. So I want to raise awareness in the outdoor business world. There is a major dilemma about flying, which is usually the biggest contributor to a large carbon footprint. As adventurers we often fly to get where we're going so I encourage the outdoor adventure world to look at it and discuss it. It's not about saying you should not fly but about saying we have a genuine dilemma here, and how do you use adventure to inspire positive action in others?
Climate change threatens mountain environments particularly. The key thing is there are loads we can still do to make it less bad. Anything we can do to reduce our energy consumption is worth doing.
—Mary Catherine O'Connor
