That's an odd looking striper
Fishing for Stripers, 08/10/13
High Tide 2:34 pm – South of the G3 Can – 10 / 12 mph W SW wind – Sunny
Angler Tom Dunphy & Captain Dave Miele
We have fished together for many years Tom & I, over twenty, and this was not unlike any other Saturday that we might venture out for a late afternoon / early evening of striper fishing – or so we thought. Gear loaded up and lines cast off, our course was east to the mouth of the Merrimack to troll wire between the jetties.
It was a bit slow so we decided to south of the "cans" out front of Plum Island. I saw the strike as Tom loudly stated that he was on! – Tom's "I am on" quickly became warnings of being spooled. "I'm crankin in as fast as I can Tom" I had slowed to I idle speed to keep tension on whatever he had on. – Many thoughts were shared – "I think I have the bottom" – "this thing isn't moving" – "but your rod tip is moving Tom – it's got to be something" – "must be a log there's only sand over here" – "maybe it's a sea monster" – "Dave I see my spool" – — – now we fish with 150 feet of 50 lb. wire and the 100 yds. Of 50# Dacron backing – all this happened in about 2 minutes or less! – I quickly threw the boat into reverse with some throttle and that saved the day. My line now in, I was able to run the boat, take direction from Tom and 25 minutes later we discovered what was at the of Tom's line.
Up from the shadowy depths the form slowly took shape – Shark we both shouted simultaneously! – Then in the same breath said Sturgeon! – It was definitely a monster. Using references on the boat that later would measure out at 9 feet we estimated the fish with the tail still swishing at the stern at about 9 ½ feet! Truly the catch of a lifetime. I could not be happier for the friend of a lifetime!
Since these fish are protected we took great care in the removal of the hook. Once done the beast instantly began undulating and slowly submerged as it appeared into the depths.
Last Year we wrote a story called "A Tale of Two Sturgeon – Leave Both Alone" which tells the story of the two kinds of sturgeon we have in the river, the Atlantic and the Short-nosed sturgeon. It's an interesting read, and includes the regulations.

Several years ago I chanced on a fish thrashing on the surface, missing its tail, out at the dumping grounds (pre-LNG). It was a sturgeon. Nothing I could do, but I was also greatly shocked that such an ancient fish still swam in our waters.
I hope that they are increasing.

Thats my Dad !!!what an amazing catch!! and what a great experiece for you and Dave !!!

I have hooked 3 of these this year in the mouth but only was able to bring one 6 footer to the boat. I had caught another 6 footer 2 years ago and we have been seeing them jumping in the mouth consistency for the last 3 or 4 years. No one knows why they jump like that. Most or all of the time they are accidentally snagged when someone hooks one. You were lucky to get him in the head like that. Its really tough to bring them in when you snag them in the body! Nice catch and great pictures!

Thanks for sharing that is about the 5 sturgeon caught that I heard about this year!!! Ippi

Females roll and surface to beak their eggs loose.
All though I know fresh water sturgeon spawn in the spring.
I am not aware of when these two species spawn.
August 17, 2013 at 11:53 am
I am not sure exactly what they are doing there but they have been consistently in the mouth and outside the the river since the end of May through now. My guess is that spawning would take place far up river. Any spawning down near the mouth would be futile. The fish are not just rolling and surfacing though. It is a full body breach straight up in the are and slamming back down into the water. I had one last year almost hit my boat!

made digital.
It all started when...
I was first getting into music in junior high. I had just received an iPod nano for my birthday. I had discovered Led Zeppelin the summer before. Lyrics were everything to me. I began reading prose and looking for that perfect one liner. I filled my iPod with the likes of The Notorious B.I.G., the Pixies, Radiohead, Sam Cooke, Carol King, The Cranberries, Fugees, Edie Brickell and The New Bohemians, and Erykah Badu.
So began my obsession with quotes. I passionately write down lyrics and film dialogue. I try to experiment with the typography, the words that make something visual for me. I try to convey meaning visually (thats graphic design isn't it?).
But let's be real i've been quoting things since The Little Mermaid.
My journals and computer files are filled with quotes. My books are all underlined.
When I began my MFA degree at RISD I was given a desk space in the department grad studios. This was the first time in my life that I had a work space. I wrote my usual amount of quotes on sticky notes and put them up on my wall. And then I realized I could design whatever I wanted and tape it up. I named it the word-wall. It changed and grew with me as a designer, an artist, and woman.
I no longer have a place (except maybe a computer folder) where I can pin up my one liner experiments with type and form. This page is dedicated to this piece of myself that continues through it all- quickly made play.

Brief Synopsis
An adventurer helps rescue political prisoners from Albania.
When wealthy French heiress Tracy Mallambert travels to Athens to hire an unscrupulous captain named Carson to smuggle her into Communist-held Albania, the captain refuses, warning her that the country is overrun with secret police. Later that evening, Carson is forced to flee the police in his yacht after his drunken deck hand, Mike, becomes embroiled in a tavern brawl. Once at sea, he finds a persistent Tracy in the wheel room. Already en route to Albania on other business, Carson agrees to take Tracy for an inflated fee. The next morning, Carson returns to the yacht after telegraphing his Albanian contact and finds Mike assaulting Tracy. At first, Carson caustically refuses to help the self-assured woman, but finally subdues Mike. Humbled by the incident, Tracy reveals that she is looking for her brother Henri, a western diplomat rumored to have become a Communist. The next morning, the yacht arrives at a rocky hillside in Albania where Carson's contact, Kol Stendho, takes them to a fishing hut and introduces Tracy to the "trade" in which Carson is involved: the smuggling of Greek children out of Albania. Four trembling Greek children are awaiting safe passage to Greece, having been left behind or kidnapped during the Communist takeover. Carson begrudgingly agrees to escort Tracy to Vosjev, where Henri is being held, and leaves the children to wait for their return. He then orders Mike to return with the yacht the following night. En route to Vosjev, Kol shoots a checkpoint guard and then hastily drops Carson and Tracy off to continue on alone, knowing that other Communist soldiers will soon be in pursuit. As they walk into the deserted town, Tracy hears someone playing the church organ and runs into the vestibule, where Henri, now blind, is seated at the keys. Her brother explains that when he tried to commit suicide while in Communist custody, government officials blinded him and sent him to Vosjev to keep him quiet. Moved by the young man's tragedy, Carson agrees to smuggle Henri out of the country. After introducing Tracy and Carson to his young friend Abdyll, Henri takes them to the Countess of Valona, who asks that they smuggle her granddaughter Mara, Henri's lover, out of Albania as well. When the group reaches the fishing hut later that day, two military guards hold them at gunpoint. In the ensuing fight, Carson punches one guard out and knocks a gun across the floor. After Tracy shoots the other guard with the gun and drops it, Abdyll picks the firearm up to use as a toy. The group, now including the Greek children, then flees into the barren hillside, where a gracious farmer and his wife invite them to eat and stay the night. Later, Carson, softened by the children's request to wish them goodnight and Tracy's motherly care, intimates that he undertook the journey out of his love for Tracy. The next morning, the farmers add their own children to the group, who continue towards the border. After the group accepts food at a shepherds' camp, several jeeps filled with security guards catch up to them and load them in trucks. Believing they are about to meet impending doom, Tracy tries to get Carson to admit his feelings for her and the children. Suddenly an Albanian guerrilla army of mountain horsemen ambushes the caravan of security police trucks. The bandit's captain, clad in a conglomeration of German, American and Albanian uniforms, boastfully introduces himself as Trifon and insists that Tracy accompany him on his horse, while the others travel with his men back to a hidden village of Albanians. Later that evening, when Tracy returns Trifon's brusque kiss to make Carson jealous, Carson suddenly points his gun at Trifon. After Trifon also pulls out his gun, his father wisely forbids any more kissing for the evening. The next morning, Trifon blackmails Tracy into staying with him in the village in exchange for providing the rest of the group safe passage out of Albania. Later, Trifon and his soldiers accompany the group to within a half mile of the border, where Communist security guards are stationed. When Trifon's bandits attack the guards below, giving the group a chance to escape through a heavily guarded checkpoint in the cliffs above, Trifon refuses to climb the dangerous cliff face to disperse the guards with grenades. While Carson tackles the cliff, Tracy insists that Trifon prove his bravery before she will return with him to the village. High above, inexperienced mountaineer Carson falters in his steps, causing rocks to fall on the guards, who begin shooting at him. To prove his bravery, Trifon orders his bandits to ride directly into the guards' fire and attack them. After being mortally wounded, Trifon deliriously raves about disarming the Communists as he dies in Tracy's arms. With their path now clear, the group reaches a border station bearing Greek signage in the morning. When the station turns out to be a Communist ruse, guards return the group to the fishing hut, where Kol, now posing as a Communist dressed in an officer's uniform, interrogates Carson. Soon after, in a moment alone, Kol hands his own children over to Carson and assures him that he will help them get through the guards and board the yacht safely when Mike arrives. A security guard, having overheard the plan, holds Kol at gunpoint as they approach the dock where the yacht is waiting. With over a dozen armed guards hidden in the cliffs above ready to stop the smugglers, Tracy realizes the plan has failed. As she bends down to hug the children, Abdyll secretly hands her his gun, which she slips to Carson. Holding a security guard at gunpoint, Carson safely loads the children on the yacht. When the guard shoots Kol, surrounding soldiers begin firing. From the dock, Carson helps the wounded Kol onto the boat and returns fire on the guards while ordering Mike to push off. As the boat takes off, Carson jumps into the water and is pulled aboard to safety by a towline. Later on the boat, Carson embraces Tracy and jokes that families are trouble, but suggests he would gladly start one with her.

You know that sinking feeling when your hard drive starts acting up? First, you sort of ignore it. Then it gets serious enough to run diagnostics and then run a disk repair.
And the repair program tells you that you have an unfixable hard drive. Make a back up of everything you have and talk to someone who can fix it.
It is kind of like "grab your ankles and kiss it goodbye."
One trip to the Genius Bar — the place where they fix things in the Apple Store, not some smart drink — and it is confirmed that the hardware is okay, but the corruption is unfixable.
The only answer is to "nuke and pave." Reformat the hard drive and delete everything on it.
"You do have a complete backup for this, don't you," said the Apple technician?
"Yes, I do." Saying "Thank God I listen to the Mac Power Users and their consistent and insistent declarations that you need more than one backup"…and then tell you how to do it.
The technician then proceeded to nuke and pave my hard drive. I got home and then proceeded to restore my complete backup.
All was well until this past week and my Mac started acting up again.
Diagnostics, again. Failure, again. But worse this time. More errors. More corruption. And when I tried to reboot the machine, I got the big circle with the diagonal line going through it. As in, no speak hard drive.
Did you know that even without a hard drive, Apple techs can boot your computer from a virtual drive and then run diagnostics against your computer…to a wirelessly connected iPad?
Pretty awesome.
This time, they found an issue with my Mac's memory (I almost said MY memory…). We didn't try and check that before, we just looked at the hard drive the first time.
So my Mac is still trying to become a Genius as they will replace my Mac's memory. And reformat my drive. So I can take it home and restore a back up.
It kinda makes me wish they could replace my memory, reformat my drive and restore a back up. It could solve a lot of corruption problems, don't you think 🙂
There are lessons in this, though:
Make no mistake: this was a frustrating, inconvenient weekend when it comes to technology.
But it was nowhere close to a disaster because we follow rules. In this case, not Cube Rules for success in the workplace, but rules for success nonetheless.

A nationally celebrated but self-absorbed philosophy professor finds himself very much alive following a fatal plane crash in an afterlife world he was absolutely certain could not exist. A pushy and insensitive alpha male in the habit of manipulating students, colleagues, and his wife according to his various needs, he relives events from the viewpoint of his victims and faces the consequences of his karma. From the front ranks of academic philosophy he falls to the level of a back-row student in a "classroom" where love, service, and generosity form the better part of the curriculum. As he watches others move ahead into higher worlds, he presses on toward his own future with one of the women he rejected, who has been stuck in the Shadowlands since her suicide many years before. How far will he extend himself to help her free herself from her personal hell? Will he "grow his soul" enough to sidestep another birth on earth, or will he have to "repeat the grade"? And what about her? Descriptions of the afterworld based on spirit communications provide a consistently arresting setting.
The Imprisoned Splendor is much more than a paranormal romance. Many readers will be captivated by the spirit-charged world they find here-with its unfamiliar laws and culture, its vivid landscapes and astral cities, and its lessons for common earth dwellers like us as we look toward our own future beyond death. This is not a religious book, but it does have a strong spiritual message. It talks with compassion to wounded, struggling human beings, and it suggests that the Universe, moral to the core, holds us accountable for our actions in a world that many of us, like Kiran, don't even suspect exists.
". . . a riveting, action-filled, visionary" novel set in the afterlife. Wisdom Magazine
"The vast wealth of information [Betty] has collected throughout a life dedicated to metaphysical studies, and especially his earlier work The Afterlife Unveiled, give The Imprisoned Splendor its unique spiritual flavor." The Bakersfield Californian
What happens to us when we die? Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, nothingness? None of the above says CSUB religious studies professor Stafford Betty in a new book titled The Afterlife Unveiled.Extensive research by Stafford Betty tells us that the world of the dead is probably very real and close by. In this book he surveys some of the worlds richest channeled material. What emerges is a spiritual or astral world of awesome beauty with an overall plan explaining not only the purpose of life over there, but ours right here. Readers will be impressed by the orderliness, justice, and immense scale of the divine plan revealed there. They are likely to conclude, based on these accounts, that death is not the end, but that a mighty world lies just aheadfollowed by other worlds still more evolved. If the spirits we meet here in these vivid accounts are authenticand there is surprisingly strong evidence suggesting they arethen we will find new incentive for growing our souls and bettering our world. The best of this literature might be the truest revelation of our time.
Said John Hick, author of Death and Eternal Life, philosopher of global religion:
There can be few, if any, more important questions than what happens to us when we die. This book contains what purport to be reports from people who have died, telling us in what conditions they live, and how they may move on from one sphere to another. Whatever they may make of this, everyone will find it intensely interesting.
You can pick up a copy of the book at the Runner Bookstore, at Russos, at any Barnes & Noble store by special order, or at Amazon.com.
Stafford Betty, Ph.D., is an expert on afterlife studies and has been a professor of religious studies at California State University, Bakersfield, for almost forty years. He has authored seven books and published numerous articles in scholarly journals and the popular press. He lectures frequently on the subject of life after death and regularly teaches a course on death and afterlife at CSUB.

VIDEO: Reggie Miller scores 8 in 9 seconds
Welcome to Throwback Thursday here on the All Ball Blog. Each week, we'll delve into the NBA's photo archives and uncover a topic and some great images from way back when. Hit us up here if you have suggestions for a future TBT on All Ball. Suggestions are always welcome!
Today's Topic: Reggie Miller wills Pacers to victory
Reggie Miller ripped the collective heart out of New York Knicks fans 20 years ago today when he erupted for eight points in nine seconds to power the Indiana Pacers to a 107-105 win in Game 1 of the 1995 Eastern Conference semifinals (here's the box score from that game).
The sold out Madison Square Garden crowd was sure the hometown Knicks had a victory in hand as they led 105-99 with 18 seconds left. But Miller had other ideas as he sank a 3-pointer with 16.4 seconds left, stole the in-bounds pass and sank another three to tie the game with 13.2 seconds left, then grabbed a defensive rebound, drew a foul and sank two game-winning free throws to give Indiana the lead with 7.5 seconds remaining. Miller finished the game with 31 points and lifelong animosity from New York Knicks fans.
To honor this remarkable performance, this Throwback Thursday we look back at the Hall of Fame career of Reggie Miller.

Ethipothala Waterfalls, Andhra Pradesh: Basically a mountain stream, gushing down the hill, is what is called as Ethipothala Waterfalls. "Ethipothala" in Telugu means, "to lift and pour". Just about 11 kms from Nagarjuna Sagar, Ethipothala Waterfalls are formed from the combination of three streams Chandravanka Vagu, Nakkala Vagu and Tummala Vagu, all tributaries of River Krishna. The water at this point falls from a height of about 21 metres (about 70 feet) forming a small lake at its foot. This lake has a crocodile-breeding centre managed by the Forest Department of Andhra Pradesh where you can see these water beasts from very close.
You can see the water fall from a table land on the other side. You can even go on the hill from where the water flows down. After flowing for about 3 kms, this stream again joins River Krishna. There are two temples at the foot of the waterfall, dedicated to Ranganadha Swami and Dattatreya Swami. As these temples are situated in the beautiful valley, you have to get down a few steps to visit these temples. You can also see some small caves besides the waterfall. People say and believe that these caves lead the way to Srisailam, the abode of Bhramarambika Mallikarjuna Swami. The tranquil atmosphere in which the waterfall is situated gives you a pleasant experience of your visit.
Towards sunset, these waterfalls are illuminated with colourful lights, adding marvel to the already existing beauty of Ethipothala Waterfalls. This beautiful scene is worth seeing.

The Top 5 Characters Who Could Be Part Of Marvel And Sony's "Spider-Man Universe"!
I want to focus in on a single question: what could be part of a #SpiderMan universe?
In an exclusive interview with Sony head honcho Tom Rothman, The Hollywood Reporter got a chance to ask one telling question:
Since you teamed with Marvel, do you plan to make a whole Spider-Man universe? Do you have plans for more work with Marvel?
Rothman's response?
"Yes to both those questions. It's been fantastic, our relationship with Marvel."
My fellow Creator Alex Hodgson has already explored some of the wider implications, but I want to focus in on a single question: what could be part of a #SpiderMan universe? Here are five possibilities...
It's pretty much traditional for Marvel Comics to run a summer event, and 2014 was no exception. The main event was called "Original Sin", and it was one of the best in recent years. The concept was simple; the Watcher, who had supervised the Marvel Universe since the 1960s, would die. With his death, we'd essentially have what was described as "WikiLeaks with superheroes" - both superheroes and readers would be treated to shocking secrets, buried in the history of Marvel Comics! Even better, Marvel gave the writers a tremendous amount of leeway to create their own new twists. Amazing Spider-Man writer Dan Slott decided to go with a real shocker.
He revealed that Peter Parker wasn't the only one bitten by the radioactive spider on that fateful day. His classmate Cindy Moon was also bitten, but she was spirited away by a character called Ezekiel, and kept in hiding for years. Horrified, Peter broke her out; her being released promptly led to Slott's excellent "Spider-Verse" event. Nowadays, Cindy's taken up the codename Silk, and is the star of a solo book where she attempts to find her missing family.
The truth is, Silk was Slott's first move in turning Spider-Man comics into a wider Spider-Man universe (and multiverse, as we'll see). She's a popular character, and very distinctive, but crucially her story works best if Marvel wait a little before bringing her into play. If Marvel wait till the second (or even third) Spider-Man film to reveal Silk, then it would be easy to adapt the plot of Silk's solo book, and keep the character recognizable to comic book fans.
Back in 1993, Marvel Comics launched an unusual project - to chart the future of the Marvel Universe! Marvel's 2099 range gave us a dystopian future in which a new generation of superheroes rose to meet the challenge of a sci-fi world gone wrong. There were four core titles - Ravage 2099 (written by Stan Lee himself), Doom 2099, Punisher 2099, and, of course, Spider-Man 2099. The Spider-Man of 2099 was created by comic book legend Peter David and artist Rick Leonardi. He was secretly the scientist Miguel O'Hara, working for the corrupt mega-corporation Alchemax. A reluctant superhero, Miguel's DNA was crossed with that of a spider (of course), and he soon wound up forced to fight for the cause of right.
Miguel's a remarkably popular character. When the rest of the 2099 range faltered, Spider-Man 2099 endured. What's more, the last few years have seen a resurgence of interest in Marvel 2099, and Spider-Man 2099 has been successfully relaunched - back under the pen of Peter David!
For Marvel, a Spider-Man 2099 film would be a remarkable opportunity to open up a whole new film franchise. On the one hand, this glimpse of a dark future would serve as a backdrop for the conventional Marvel Cinematic Universe - can this future be averted? On the other hand, it would allow them to create a new world, and in so doing to maintain the sense of joyful exploration that characterized Marvel Studios's first films. The one question is whether or not Marvel would like to show their vision of 2099. After all, it's only 83 years away, and the MCU may only be in Phase 30 by then...
You remember Gwen Stacy from Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man films? Ably portrayed by the beautiful Emma Stone, Gwen was Peter Parker's unlucky love-interest, and died in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. While heavily adapted, that scene was lifted from The Amazing Spider-Man #121-122. In those two horrific issues, Spider-Man failed to save the girl he loved - in fact, his attempt to save her may well have been what killed her.
In 2014, while toying with different alternate-dimension Spider-Men, Dan Slott made the throwaway suggestion of "Gwen Stacy as Spider-Woman". In this reality, it hadn't been Peter Parker who was bitten by the radioactive spider; it had been Gwen. The idea wound up being worked on by writer Jason Latour and artist Robbi Rodriguez, and the result was an iconic concept that was christened "Spider-Gwen" on Twitter! Senior figures in Sony reportedly watched #SpiderGwen's success with fascination.
I've actually already discussed the question of whether or not Spider-Gwen could ever enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Without the death of Gwen Stacy, Spider-Gwen's story lacks a lot of emotional pathos. That said, I can't help loving the idea of seeing Emma Stone playing Spider-Gwen...
It's a matter of legend that Marvel has a villain problem. Marvel films tend to focus in on the superheroes, with the villains taking a back-seat - often, they're simply 'the dark to the hero's light'. Is your hero Iron Man? Deck the supervillain in a suit of armor. Writing an Ant-Man movie? Your supervillain needs to shrink too.
Spider-Man has always been different. His supervillains are stars in their own right. In fact, there's a sense in which Spider-Man is Marvel's Batman - just as the Dark Knight has a rich rogues' gallery, so does Spider-Man. Arguably one of the best superhero films of all time, Spider-Man 2 shone particularly brightly because of Alfred Molina's tremendous portrayal of Doctor Octopus. Even Marvel visionary Kevin Feige describes Spider-Man 2 as "one of the best superhero movies ever". And the great thing is, Spider-Man's rogues' gallery is filled with characters who have every bit as much potential as Doctor Octopus!
Although Sony had already toyed with a Sinister Six movie, Spider-Man fans are more interested in one particularly iconic supervillain: #Venom. Surprisingly enough, though, Venom might still be off the table. Back in March, THR reported that Sony was considering a solo Venom movie not connected to the Spider-Man franchise!
Few characters have caught the public eye more than Miles Morales! In the early 2000s, Marvel had launched a range of comics based in the 'Ultimate' Universe. Essentially, these were alt-universe reimaginings of classic superheroes, with their origins transplanted to the present day. Naturally, Spider-Man was central to the Ultimate Universe.
In 2011, though, writer Brian Bendis came up with a shocking twist. The Ultimate Spider-Man died in battle. In honor of Peter Parker, Miles Morales - a Black Hispanic teenager who was also bitten by a radioactive spider - took up the mantle of Spider-Man. Artist Sara Pichelli (of Witchblade fame) designed a gorgeous new look for Miles, and he's become a firm fan-favorite.
There's definite interest in seeing Miles come to the big screen. In fact, about a month ago rumors circulated the internet that he'd be the star of Sony's animated Spider-Man film. We now know that's not the case, but the level of fan excitement was surely a wake-up call for Marvel and Sony. Donald Glover - whose campaign to play Spider-Man in part inspired the creation of Miles Morales - has been recruited for the cast of Spider-Man: Homecoming, and many fans are wondering if he'll play an older version of Miles. Personally, I hope not; I think Miles works best as a teenager, I'm afraid.
So there you have it! I have no doubt that Sony and Marvel are deep in discussion about the future of the wider Spider-Man universe. In adding Peter Parker into the mix, Marvel has also embraced a tremendous range of superheroes and supervillains, all of whom could add something really special to the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

Leadership & Life Coaches
Kimberly is a seasoned marketing and advertising executive who is coaching women to find their success.
Kim Bates
In 2012, Kimberly Bates, a seasoned Marketing and Advertising Executive, recognized that many women in New York are members of volunteer organizations giving back to their communities, part of women's mentoring programs at work and have joined one of the dozens of women's business networking groups to help foster their careers along.
"New York is a city full of intelligent, driven and successful women who give 200% to everything they do and to their communities."
While these organizations are all vitally important to our lives, as Kimberly has been personally mentoring and coaching many different women for over 15 years outside of work, who are seeking to identify their passion & purpose in life, or wanting to propel their careers and relationships to a new level, she noticed with all their success, there seemed to be a lack of harmony and happiness in their lives.
"I saw there was an opportunity to provide women with the knowledge and tools for building a deeper understanding of their authentic selves, their purpose and definition of personal success, while helping to build self-esteem, getting rid of the limiting beliefs & behaviors holding them back and finding greater balance and well-being in their lives. It is more about "going inward" first, to ignite the outward transformation they were all seeking. And the biggest realization was, I did not have to be the only one helping them. We can all inspire each other."
In the middle of one sleepless night, a quote that she heard earlier that day from Deepak Chopra played in her head, "The future will be about survival of the wisest, not the fittest." In that moment, she came up with the idea to create The WSDM®, a wisdom and well-being organization for Women, whose mission is to help women become more aware of the infinite possibilities in their lives, empowering them toward greater self love and growth, by sharing the authentic insights, experiences and life lessons of other women (of all ages).
Four years later, 150+ women ages 22-65 are attending the events in New York, dozens of speakers have participated, and it's been life-changing for everyone involved. The audience is also encouraged to ask questions, share their own stories and interact with the speakers. Kimberly has expanded her own mentoring & coaching practice bringing new and valuable learning and tools to her clients.
"It has become a meaningful platform of inspirational storytelling and engaging with positive, loving, supportive energy."
Past events have covered a wide array of subjects from body image, busting through failure and illness, holistic health, successful leadership, fertility and building authentic love & relationships to the power of gratitude, confidence, self-love and synchronicity.
Past speakers have included: Alisa Vitti- CEO of FloLiving.com and Author of WomenCode, Alysia Reiner, Co-founder Broadcast Pictures, Producer & Actress "Orange is the New Black" and "Equity", Activist, Maker, Nancy Berger Cardone- Publisher, CRO of Marie Claire Magazine, Alex Jamieson- Co-Creator of the film Super Size Me and Nutrition Expert, Allison Arden- Former Publisher Ad Age, CEO, Soul + Co and Author of The Book of Doing, Veronica De La Cruz- News anchor CBS San Francisco and activist, Mariama Camara- Co-founder, There is No Limit Foundation and Founder Mariama Fashion Production, Becky Straw, Co-founder & CEO, The Adventure Project, Melanie Notkin- Founder of Savvie Auntie, Kelly Killoren Bensimon- Author, influential editor, model, taste maker and actor, Agapi Stassinopoulos- Author of Unbinding the Heart, Kavita Patel- Love Coach and Relationship Expert.

The Slits : Love and Romance
If punk was more about attitude than musical ability then The Slits may have been the punkiest punk band the U.K. ever unleashed upon the world. The Slits were made up of guitarist Viv Albertine, drummer Palmolive, bassist Tessa Pollitt and German vocalist Ari Up, who was John Lydon's 15 year old stepdaughter. On August 5, 1977 The Slits were filmed at The Vortex. They're raw. To the point where maybe you have to admire their chutzpah for just going on stage and giving it everything they've got. Ari Up would also make history for peeing on this very stage. Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren liked what he saw. John Peel caught their early bass-heavy sound in a September Peel session.
By the time The Slits recorded their first album, the legendary Cut, they has traded their finest songwriter, Palmolive, for a tighter drummer and a more polished sound.

In order to grow with the rise of wearable devices, Swatch plans to equip its Swatch Touch line of plastic watches with electronic functions to measure personal fitness, as the company's chief executive told a newspaper. The Swatch touch-screen wristwatch was launched in 2011 include functions such as time, alarm, chronograph, and date at this time.
Swatch CEO, Nick Hayek, talked to Sunday's Neue Zuercher Zeitung am Sonntag (Swiss weekly) and said that: "Beginning in 2015, we will integrate fitness functions into Swatch Touch. It will remain a watch, but will have all today's usual functions to monitor physical fitness."

The company would use its own electronic components to ramp up the Swatch brand Touch, Hayek told the newspaper. In the past, when Swatch comes to manufacturing their watches, then it rejected partnerships with some companies including Apple.
The other players are also included in this space as LG, Samsung, Motorola, Nike and much more. Samsung unveiled Gear Live and LG released G3, both powered by Google's new software. Bangalore-based tech firm, Tecsol Software is in plans to introduce contextual ads on smartwatches.
Swiss brand Swatch was founded in 1983, it have been manufacturing watches for over 130 years now.
NDTV Gadgets says: Technology website VentureBeat said in a report on Wednesday Apple was working with "at least one partner, Swatch" on a smartwatch project, citing an unnamed source.
A spokeswoman for Swatch Group said on Thursday the report was unfounded. She said the only business relationship Swatch Group had with mobile phone makers was as a supplier of integrated circuits and other electronic components.

Speaking With…: Brian Wansink
This past Friday, Cornell University John Dyson Professor of Consumer Behavior and director of the Cornell Food and Brand Laboratory Dr. Brian Wansink stopped by New York University after being tapped as the second featured speaker of a new lecture series on nutrition and chronic disease.
Taking off from his bestseller Mindless Eating, the talk was appropriately titled, "How To Turn Mindless Eating Into Healthy Eating."
With those prevously mentioned credentials, you might picture a stiff, "all business" type who solves complex equations in his head while half-listening to you.
Dr. Wansink, however, is reminiscent of the cool high school math teacher who wanted you to learn — and have fun while doing so. His research explanations are peppered with personal anecdotes, comedy, and facial expressions that sometimes rival those of Jim Carrey.
A few hours before his afternoon presentation, I sat down with Dr. Wansink for a one-on-one interview.
If you are unfamiliar with Dr. Wansink's work, please click here to familiarize yourself with his research before reading the interview.
I get such a kick out of all your publicity shots for Mindless Eating [NOTE: see accompanying picture]. They're great! Have they all been photographers' ideas?
Ha! Thanks. Yeah, I've had some really creative photographers who set up these elaborate shoots. Some of those popcorn shots literally took twelve hours, from setup to cleanup. There was a LOT of popcorn all over the floor at the end that had to be cleaned up (laughs).
So, I recently read that all of this research started as a result of you wanting people in the United States to eat more vegetables.
That's right.
How did you go from that to your current line of research?
Yeah, before I started my dissertation [in the late 80s], I wanted to know: "why do you finish your vegetables sometimes and other times you leave them on your plate?". "Why are you hungry for them one night and not the next?" That then evolved into the idea of environmental factors that affect our overall eating patterns. It's a lot more complex than people think because so many of our eating behaviors are automatic. This is all about getting below that surface. One of my first research studies had to do with family serving behavior. We had people come in, eat, and then answer questions about what they ate.
Then, we showed them video footage of their meal. It is amazing how many people flat out deny, or are not aware of, their eating behavior. You'll say to someone, "you had three servings of peas." They'll tell you, "No, I only had one!" You feel like saying, "Well, unless you have an evil twin…"
It's not until you show them the videotape that they change their mind. I once had a woman cry when she saw herself eating on camera! My research considers three angles. Not only what people are eating and how much of it, but also with what frequency.
How did all that research turn into Mindless Eating?
In 2004, I was in France and thought to myself, "I'd like to write a book, but I don't know if I want it to be academic or pop."
That year, Bonnie Liebman of the Center for Science in the Public Interest interviewed me for their Nutrition Action newsletter, and suddenly a lot of requests for book deal started coming in. Most of them were e-mails and, I don't know, nothing really stood out. Then I got a letter — an actual letter! — from Bantam Dell Books. One of the things I liked about them is that, as they told me, they are in the business of creating "real books that people read."
Interesting you say that, because I think that's definitely one of the factors behind the popularity of Mindless Eating. It is relatable for and interesting to the average consumer.
So at this point, it's been a few years since the book came out. I was wondering about recent developments. For example, have you conducted any research on the effects of calorie postings in fast food restaurants?
Oh yeah, I was involved in a VERY well-done study with Carnegie Mellon in regards to calorie labeling. We looked at McDonald's, Subway, and Starbucks in terms of what consumers were buying before and after calories went up. And, you know what? The results were indeterminate. They were all over the board. Some people consumed fewer calories, others didn't. I would actually be suspicious of anyone who told you they have seen a dramatic effect as a result of calorie labeling.
That strikes me as really odd. What are your theories regarding the results of that study?
There's a few things to consider. First of all, when it comes to weight loss, a lot of people think: Yeah, I wouldn't mind losing ten pounds, but I don't want to change a thing." Then there's reactance, which is a psychological term. It's basically resistance. Reactance is at play when you're in your car and the person behind you honks so you pull away more slowly than you would otherwise.
(Laughs) Or when you know someone at a restaurant is waiting for your table, so you sit there and take a little longer.
Yeah. So I think, in a way, some people are seeing these calories and thinking, "Oh yeah? Well, you're not going to tell ME what to eat!" Something similar happened in a study I did with Cornell. So, Cornell has a huge dining hall that services about 1100 people at one time. I wanted to see what effect going tray-less would have. I thought it would have two positive effects — it would result in reduced waste and reduced calories.
The idea being that people couldn't pile everything on at once but instead had to get up from their table each time they wanted more food?
Yeah, exactly. Well, the results came in, and that night there was roughly 30 percent MORE plate waste! I think it comes back to that idea of reactance, where people saw this and thought, "Fine, I won't use a tray, but I'm not going to eat less." "font-style:italic;">But that's not to say that I think calorie labeling isn't useful. Let me tell you something. The other day I went to Sbarro and saw that the slice of pizza I wanted was 787 calories. Aaaaaaaah!! So I think these calorie postings are going to serve as incentives for these food companies to say, "Alright, wait a minute, I want to turn that 787 into 690." I think it's going to nudge companies to drop the numbers, and that's what will, in turn, affect consumers.
Speaking of consumers, you recently finished your one-year post with the United States Department of Agriculture's Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion working on the Dietary Gudelines. How did that go?
Oh, it was great! I thought I was on a mission from God! My last day was January 20, when the new president took office. I was literally sending e-mails at 11:59 PM on January 19. I was still e-mailing at 12:05 AM on January 20, and I remember thinking "Wow, they didn't shut off my inbox!" Then I got up to grab something to eat, and about ten minutes later I came back and I no longer had access.
Any sneak peeks as to possible changes we may expect in the next round of Dietary Guidelines?
I was involved with the selection of the 13 Dietary Guidelines committee members, and 11 of them have a behavioral focus. They operate where the rubber meets the road. That's important, because they take pages upon pages of data and transform it into information for the masses that can be summarized in just a few sentences.
So to wrap up, I'm interested in hearing about research you are in the process of conducting now.
Oh yeah, sure. Well, we're looking at what happens to people's eating behaviors when they sit next to someone who has a much higher BMI than they do. We are also doing a study where we have someone wearing a fat suit and going through one side of a buffet very slowly, serving themselves a lot of food. Everyone on the other side of the salad bar takes a much lower amount of food compared to when that person is going through the salad bar without the fat suit on. It's the whole concept of mimicking the attractive person. It's terrible, because weight is the last acceptable prejudice in our society and it can really be crippling to a person's self-esteem.
Lately, the concept of "nature vs. nurture" has become central to the issue of childhood obesity. Do you have any thoughts on that from a behavioral standpoint?
Well, we conducted a study with 4 year olds. We gave all the kids a questionnaire to take home. The point of the questionnaire was to determine to what extent parents forced their kids to eat everything that was on their plate. Of course, we disguised those questions among lots of filler like "what is your favorite TV show?"
"What color are your curtains?", etc.
(Laughs) Exactly. So the parents, on a scale of one to nine, had to rate just how heavily they enforced "the clean plate club" at home. So, you know, nine was "my kids HAVE to finish everything on their plate or there is some kind of consequence" and one was "Ah, if they eat, they eat. If they don't, they don't." We discovered that the children whose parents insisted they finish everything on their plate served themselves approximately 40 percent more cereal in our study.
Wow! And based on what you talk about in Mindless Eating… the idea that, once food is in front of us, it is very easy to eat it all, that's a significant finding.
Yeah, the thinking is that children who are forced to clean their plate feel like the have no control when it comes to food, so they find ways to reassert their control and independence.
Well, it looks like we've actually gone over time, but this has been fascinating. It's been a pleasure speaking with you. Thank you!
Oh, absolutely. Thank you and best of luck with everything.
Many thanks to Dr. Wansink for his time!

The Wright Flyer took off in 1903 powered by a measly 12 horsepower straight-four. Little did Orville and Wilbur know that just 110 years later, their pokey engines would eventually lead to a power plant with more horsepower than the Titanic and Shepard's Mercury-Redstone 3—combined.
The GE90 series of aero engines from GE Aviation are now built exclusively for Boeing's latest models of 777 aircraft. The GE90 technology originally grew out of NASA's Energy Efficient Engine in the 1970s and first debuted in 1995 aboard a British Airway's 777. The first three models boasted outputs between 74,000 to 115,000 lbf of thrust. Since 1995 the GE90 series has improved upon that performance with a pair of larger models, the -110B1 and -115B variants, that can blow with more than 125,000 lbf of thrust. These supersized variants are now built exclusively for Boeings newest and largest 777 models—the 777-200LR, 777-300ER, and 777-200F.
The largest variant is the GE90-115B. Measuring 216 inches long and 135 inches wide with a 128-inch-diametre fan, the -115B weighs a stout 18,260 pounds. Surprisingly, despite the -115B's size, it is also the most efficient wide-body engine in service today. It utilises a 10-stage air compressor, driven by the engine's two-stage turbine to generate a 23:1 pressure ratio turbocharger.
The engine's construction is just as impressive as its performance. The GE90 is built from a new ceramic matrix composite material that can withstand far higher operating temperatures (up to 2,400 degrees F) than other similarly-sized engines, which saves as much as 10 per cent more fuel per long-haul flight than even earlier GE90 models.
In addition to being the biggest engine in the world and the most efficient in its class, the GE90-115B is also the most powerful jet engine on the face of the planet. During bench testing at GE's Peebles, Ohio facility in 2002, the -115B demolished the previous record with an unholy 127,900 pounds—5,000lbf nhigher than the previous record—and it wasn't even trying. Engineers were simply running an hour-long triple-redline torture test that just so happened to meet GWR criteria.
And that's not even the only world record it holds. The GE90-115B also powered the longest commercial flight in history—a globe-spanning 22 hour, 42 minute jaunt in 1995 from Hong Kong to London—the long way. That's over the Pacific, across the continental US, and then spanning the Atlantic to arrive at Heathrow. I sure hope the in-flight movie was better than Madea's Latest Adventure.
