Do you follow someone on social media with a picture-perfect lifestyle, but you suspect that they're just faking it?
Me, too.
I hear people complaining about social media fakers all the time. Many are frustrated about how ordinary people in their feeds are simply trying too hard. It used to be lifestyle bloggers putting on a dazzling show for their followers, but now it's your neighbour, your co-worker and your old classmate.
"If you experience negative emotions, just unfollow them," I say.
But it's often not that simple in the economy of likes where you can't separate your online network from your physical world. Unfollowing someone, blocking someone — even stopping to like a friend's status updates on Instagram, well, that's something that many posters take personally.
We get pulled into this world of the social media fakers. So we ask ourselves:
How did we end up here? And how do we get out of it?
The Robinson Effect: How the Mainstream Finds it Difficult to Properly Decode New Formats
In 1997, the Swedish public service broadcasters SVT1 launched Expedition Robinson, the reality tv show spun off the British tv format Survive.
A group of chosen non-celebs were to participate in a contest set on a Malaysian island in which people got voted off, one after the other, until one winner could claim the title of winning the whole season.
Expedition Robinson was bound to be a success. The Swedish mainstream audience devoured it. Partly because of the palm trees, the beaches and the fact that ordinary people were running around half-naked with low blood sugar. Expedition Robinson was addictive.
We also saw a new type of love- and hate relationships with these new reality stars. People genuinely loved their favourite characters just as much as they hated some of the most original ones.
The public engagement caused serious trouble for some of the reality stars who hadn't succeeded in becoming loved2. They found it difficult to cope with being publicly hated and so they publicly lashed out against the production company, all asking a fascinating question:
"I'm a human being with many sides. Why did you portray me as a monster?"
The participants of those early reality shows failed to understand the new format's drama and without this understanding, they felt victimised.
The New Breed of Reality Show Stars
Fast forward to 2016:
Today, reality stars understand how to play the game. They want to be edited as dramatic as possible.
The new breed of reality stars understands that they must deliver drama and that the format doesn't exist to serve their multi-faceted need for human expression. They're just in it to put on a show and to kickstart their careers, their name recognition and their online following.
In Sweden, we turn to popular reality shows like Paradise Hotel, in which participants quickly acquire huge social media followings and tons of tabloid attention — because they put on a show. Internationally, the Kardashian family must be considered the reigning masters of massive social media spin doctoring and engagement.
What happened during those 19 years between 1997 and 2016? Both the audience and the participants eventually came to terms with the inherent media logic of reality shows. It follows the principles as outlined in the law of diffusion of innovations:
It took 5-10 years for the mainstream audience to understand reality television, and it took the mainstream audience 5-10 years to understand social media as a format.
Where does this leave us?
The New Divide: Self Promoters vs. Co-Creators
It's nothing wrong with only showing one side of something. In fact, most mediums aren't very well suited for more complex forms of communication, especially if likes and shares are what drives them. If you want to show off the parts of your life that are beautiful and picture perfect, then by all means — go ahead and do so as long as it makes you happier. We must all adapt to a medium's format if we're expecting to cut through all the noise.
But here's where the new media logic turns into a real problem:
Social fakeness causes stress and frustration for both the content creator as well as for the follower.
It's a vicious cycle. You may paint a picture perfect lifestyle on Instagram, but most people understand that you're only putting on a show. Putting on a show to get more likes tend to say more about the content creator than the depicted lifestyle does3.
We start asking questions like:
- "Why is this person trying so desperately to paint this picture of a perfect life?"
- "What is this person compensating for?"
People desperately seeking attention and validation through social media are at risk of becoming victimised. Instead of becoming an elite class, the mainstream increasingly frowns at their desperation for likes and shares, placing them at the bottom of status ladder4.
It's possible that we will see a new divide emerge between people, where we on one hand will have a generation of social media fakers desperately screaming for approval, literally trying to keep up with the Kardashians — and on the other hand, we'll have a class of creators, who are focusing their time and resources, not on shameless self-promotion, but on making stuff and creating real value, either for themselves or together with other like-minded doers.
The key takeaway for this post:
Don't just use social media to put on your own personal reality show where you tell people how great you are and how awesome your life is. Do stuff, be creative and add real value to other people's lives and businesses — and you'll earn the loyal and loving online following you deserve.
What's your take on social media fakers? Let me know in the comments!
Update: Okay, so you know that feeling when you've crafted a text and a few days later you stumble on another that that says sort of what you said, only 1,000% better? Well, the amazing blog Wait But Why has done it again. Now I'm going to focus on learning how to write better blog posts. Here you'll find the post (make sure to compare the concept of social media fakers with Facebook image crafting):
Why Generation Y Yuppies Are Unhappy
- Why did a public service broadcaster like SVT decide to finance a reality show? To this day, it's mostly unclear. SVT get their funding from anyone in Sweden owning a tv, radio or a computer. Should they spend people's license money on entertainment?
- The situation got even worse as the first person voted off the show committed suicide tragically, forcing SVT and the production company to re-cut the rest of the programs to lessen the drama.
- There have been many conversations lately about the "fakeness" of social media, and one recent talking point is how Essena O'Neill, a young Australian Instagram influencer, publicly ranted about her (and basically everybody else's) fakeness in social media. She "quit social media" and deleted both her Instagram and her Youtube account — only to use the attention to launch her next online enterprise.
- Author Neil Strauss wrote in Wall Street Journal: "A status update with no likes (or a clever tweet that without retweets) becomes the equivalent of a joke met with silence. It must be rethought and rewritten. And so we don't show our true selves online, but a mask designed to conform to the opinions of those around us."

Great post, Jerry! I love how social media can bring us together. It's a great opportunity to be real. At the same time, the truth is that the world teaches us to be "fake," and this approach is starting to break. Ahh, the tricky balance between vulnerability and strength – it's truly an art form. I think it's something we should openly discuss more, and I love how you covered it in this article. Happy 2016! :)
Great input Jessica — and thanks for leaving a comment. You're feeding directly into my desperate search for qualitative reactions on my thoughts and ideas, haha!
Seriously though, it sure is a balance. I find myself deleting Instagram pictures that I find isn't adding to the overall feeling of "a nice life", It does feel like a balance between strength and vulnerability, but also a balance between authenticity and image. Which is, I think, when transferred to business settings very interesting as well.

- Housing Broker Advantage
The Broker Advantage
Some housing associations assume it's better to deal with a single insurer. We'd like to explain why you're better off with Gallagher!
We're independent & impartial
We're not tied to any insurer, so we can seek out the right cover for your own needs, at the right price – from a choice of insurers, not just one. You can also get the benefit of wider, specialist expertise and an independent perspective from our risk management and claims management teams.
We write our own wordings
Because we know social housing inside-out, we understand what housing associations need. We write our own wordings, helping to ensure that your cover is relevant to your circumstances and your needs.
Sustainable pricing, sustainable cover
Through market testing and benchmarking, we can help to protect your costs and ensure premium sustainability. If necessary, we can rebroke your cover at any time. And, if you change suddenly (perhaps by acquiring more stock) and no longer suit your insurer, we can move your cover to more appropriate insurers.
Settling your insurance claims
We represent you, not your insurer. So we have a vested interest in helping you settle your claim as quickly and satisfactorily as possible – which is why we'll work hard on your behalf. And we can settle most claims ourselves, quickly and without having to go back to the insurer.
Not every insurer can offer every type of insurance cover, whereas we're more flexible. For example:
- We offer cover which many insurers can't, such as environmental
- We offer options you won't get elsewhere, such as fidelity & crime
- With access to a choice of insurers, we have a wider menu to choose from
- We can top up the insurance offered by trade associations
Why choose Gallagher as your insurance broker?
- Independent, impartial advice
- Better premium sustainability
- Access to a wide range of insurers
- Wider range of insurance cover
- We write our own wordings
- We're on your side

- Description
Too much travel or too little—choosing the right trail bike is tough, but our Women's Camber Comp Carbon 650b makes it easy. It's designed to give women a trail bike that's built for speed, efficiency, and confident handling, both on the way up the trail and down. This bike blends all of the trail bike characteristics that you want with the XC climbing prowess that you need. This is achieved by thoughtfully combining our lightweight FACT 9m carbon Trail Chassis with an M5 alloy Camber FSR rear end. The combination results in blending lightweight, rigidity, and durability in one package. At both ends of the bike, you'll find sufficient travel lengths that deliver 130mm plenty of plush suspension—all without going overboard on big hit capability. This means that you don't have to sacrifice efficiency, weight, or sheer speed to ride how you want. And with our Trail 650b Geometry and lightweight, stiff, and smooth Concentric Pivot at the rear, we can guarantee it. For the build, you get a custom-tuned RockShox Revelation RL fork and an awesome SRAM one-by drivetrain. Even better, every component of the bike, from the handlebars to the crankarm length, is tailored for both women and rider size, while every aspect of the suspension has been scrutinized and custom-tuned for women.
- FACT 9m carbon Trail Chassis w/ Camber FSR M5 Alloy rear end is mated with our Trail 650b Geometry to form a bike that's just as at home on the climbs as it is mowing over rough trail sections. You'll also find internal cable routing for clean lines and minimal maintenance and an integrated SWAT™ Door for zero-hassle storage of your trail essentials.
- A custom RockShox Revelation RL 650b fork was developed to deliver 130mm of plush, trail taming travel, while accommodating a 15x110mm thru-axle for reliable handling and durability over rough, bumpy, or loose terrain. It also features our Women's Rx Trail Tune that specifically tailors the suspension to lighter riders.
- SRAM GX 11-speed rear derailleur grants you access to a wide range of gears, while providing crisp, reliable shifting.

Business is business.
Today started with a visit to the Centre for Apitherapy in Kamianna followed by Sheep Farming with Roman Kluska, followed by a tour of the Fakro rooftop windows factory.
Centre for Apitherapy
Kamianna is a small town of 200, of which 100 are currently employed by the Apitherapy Centre. It is the honey capital of Poland!
However, let's start at the beginning. Dating back to the 16th century, the villagers were extradited in 1947 to Ukraine.
In 1960, Dr. Henry Ostach arrived in Kamianna. He was a beekeeping enthusiast and a great social activist. From this moment, Kamianna has continued to undergo significant prosperity and development whilst staying humble in tradition and roots.
The hives produce 70kg/hive/yr in a good year.
Some value-added products:
– Pollen (rich source of vitamins)
– Bee bread (used in cancer treatment)
– Propolis solution, ointment, suppositories, intravaginal tablets, cream
– Beeswax candles
The Centre also delivers honey to the Pope.
A little tidbit for my mum – burning beeswax helps calm the nerves of palliative patients as well as relieving the stress and anxiety of those around them.
Queens are produced using artificial insemination, if you can believe it. Here's a peek inside the laboratory where this is performed.
Ecological Sheep Farming of Roman Kluska
The Kluska farm specializes in Fresian sheep for cheese production using ecological practices including natural breeding and selection of traits. All product is non-GMO and therefore neighbouring sheep are not allowed to pasture on the property for risk of GMO contamination.
This farm business includes a number of elements in the supply chain to keep costs and resources under control including on-farm cheese processing and water treatment facility.
I have to say, these were the cleanest sheep I have seen as they are bred for no hair on the tail.
Sheep farming facts:
– Produce 1-4L milk/sheep/day
– Milk twice a day with 40 milking stations
– No artificial insemination
– Lambing February – April (sometimes into May)
– 300 ewes, 250 lambs
– Lambing at 1.9
– Not allowed to slaughter on farm for meat
– Wool purchased by external companies
– Price margins poor due to excessive regulations
The Cheese
– 200L milk = 50kg cheese
– 200PLN/kg of cheese retail
The farm is aiming to grow to 1000 sheep and will need to acquire neighbouring land to do so, which is available in the area. The current farm is 100ha and land prices average 100,000-200,000PLN/ha (to get dollars, divide by 3).
FAKRO was established in 1991 by founder and current COO Ryszard Florek from his own woodworking shop established in 1986. Now, FAKRO is world leading, producing 15% of the global share of roof windows.
And, what does this have to do with agriculture? 2 things: 1) they produce windows for barn roofs, 2) they have a from-the-ground-up entrepreneurial business approach that has resulted in much success. Great management is evident here from the people to the product.
Oftentimes, I get asked to bring good business examples from outside of agriculture to provide a new perspective on agriculture and business management, and FAKRO allows us to do just that. Made up of 12 manufacturing companies and 15 foreign subsidiaries all over the world, FAKRO employs 3300 people.
In terms of environmental responsibilities, FAKRO is FSC (meaning they source wood only wherein the rate of new planting exceeds the rate of removal). And, their products help create better energy efficiency for buildings and homes.
FAKRO treated us to a lovely lunch followed by a presentation by Kris. We even got to wear 3-D glasses to see how they use software to view their product from every angle and choose functionality and innovations.
Participants were toured through the factory and also got the chance to see some of their quality control measures.
Their rooftop windows are really quite remarkable – from 180 pivot windows to fire escapes to creating small balconies.
Following the factory tour, we were treated to another wonderful dinner with stuffed peppers, stuffed zucchini, goulash and cold cuts followed by an evening of 10 pin bowling. Razzle dazzle, what a wonderful day we've had!
Onto Niedzica castle tomorrow.

CAM10 - module 1: Adaptive Filter
Designed to remove noise from monophonic signals, this offers filter lengths of up to 100,000 taps (although processing constraints may limit the number actually achievable) with user control of the length up to one second. There are user controlled Attack and Release constants, and the filter coefficients are displayed graphically to help the user determine the optimum settings for each job.
There are two output modes provided: the predicted signal, and the filtered signal. You can vary the output mix between the original audio and either of these to maximise the intelligibility of the result.
The Adaptive Filter removes many forms of interference and background noise, making speech signals more listenable and more intelligible, aiding transcription and making recordings more presentable for the courtroom and juries.

YPFP Brussels congratulates Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, a previous YPFP speaker, on becoming the first female President of the Republic of Croatia.
"It's a real testament to the quality of people we have as speakers in YPFP's network" says Katrina Murray, Executive Director of YPFP Brussels. "Not only are they helping to train the next generation of foreign policy leaders, they are becoming those leaders themselves. After attending the event with US President Obama in 2014, YPFP Brussels members can also say they have been trained directly by another of today's young leaders, President Grabar-Kitarović. We wish her all the best in her tenure as Croatia's President."
While serving as NATO's Assistant Secretary General for Public Diplomacy, President Grabar-Kitarović launched YPFP Brussels' interactive Tools of the Trade Series, on negotiation skills. Previous speakers in the series have included, Daniel Mitov, Foreign Minister of Bulgaria, Jonathan Parrish, Speechwriter to the NATO Secretary General, and Elena Bryan, Senior Trade Representative at the US Mission to the EU.
The team at YPFP Brussels wishes President Grabar-Kitarović the best during her mandate.

While the National government has announced plans to build and renovate houses up and the country, past (in)action cautions us to continue highlighting the fact that many people throughout our land live in sub-standard and inadequate housing, and that's not good enough.
The Diocese has announced that August, in the run-up to the election, is an appropriate time to highlight the housing crisis and to encourage people to be mindful of the issues.
In Sunday services and in our small groups we are being encouraged to be informed and reflect on the part we can play to better house the needy. Check the following link for more information...

i think i only got 2 facials in 2012! eek! after my most recent trip to mario badescu, i remembered how much good a skilled facialist can do. we are talking months of skin sin, erased. i plan to get many facials leading up to my april 2013 wedding (maybe 4? 5?), and i've set a goal for myself to continue with facials at least seasonally from there on (or quarterly, if you follow the financial calendar).
here are 3 places i aspire to get a facial in 2013:
|{the erno laszlo institute}
- the erno laszlo institute - is exclusive, old hollywood glamor set in the middle of soho NYC. in early december i attended the unveiling party of this glamorous space -- it's utterly deco, decadent and breath-taking. the downstairs boasts a spacious laszlo boutique, and the upstairs is a members-only spa, under the professional direction of dermatologist scott wells. his philosophy is all about boosting one's "youth assets", and my youth assets could use some help. with annual membership running $3,000, a visit to the institute is certainly a beauty lover's aspiration.
- caudalie spa at the plaza hotel - uses caudalie's wine-based french skincare line in their extensive face and body menu, all set at one of manhattan's most legendary addresses. the estheticians are called vinotherapists, and i'm pretty sure i could always use more vinotherapy. i'm also a fan of trying unique treatments, and their facial includes circulation-boosting massage with grapes. sign me up.
- mario badescu spa - is a long-time favorite of mine -- and the place i trust most to get my skin into wedding day shape. i plan on making MB my home away from home for the next 4 months. i know the estheticians here pride themselves on prepping their brides for the big day, and i'm proud to be joining the ranks.

Drag Me To Hell (2009)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Sam Raimi
Starring: Alison Lohman, Justin Long, Lorna Raver, Ruth Livier
Christine (Alison Lohman) and Rham Jas (Dileep Rao) defeat the demon for a night, but he warns her that it will return in the morning to take her to Hell. The only way to stop the curse is to give the cursed button to someone else. She puts it in an envelope and tries to give it to Stu (Reggie Lee) but her conscience stops her. She decides to go to Mrs. Ganush's grave and give it to her. She stuffs the envelope in the body's mouth. The next morning she showers and goes to meet Clay (Justin Long) at the train station platform. He pulls the button out of his pocket, and Christina realizes in horror that she accidentally switched envelopes when they were in the car, and she left his coin in Mrs. Ganush's mouth. As she backs away from the button in terror, she falls backwards onto the train tracks. Clay tries to help her onto the platform as a train speeds toward her, but as he does the ground starts to crack and burn below her. As the train passes over her and stops his hand from reaching her, hands reach out and pull her through the ground. Clay can only watch in horror as her flesh burns away, and she is dragged down to Hell. The hole in the ground closes.

A Beautiful Home
All I wanted to do this morning was sit in my parlour chair, with a cozy afghan, and read from Dickens. We have heavy snow covering the trees and grounds of our Vermont property and I wanted a day of leisure. But this will not make my home beautiful.
Before I have my pleasant time of recreation, I will do some housekeeping. The family is still slumbering so it will be a quiet time of work.
I will sweep the floors, dust the parlour, clean the kitchen and do some laundry. I will do a few little touches that make it feel lovely when one walks into a room.
Then, and only then, will I allow my laziness to come through as I sit in my little chair and delight in an 1800's classic, English, novel by Dickens.

Your word pictures make me feel like a guest in your home. Laziness is something I fight every day! Some minor health problems make it worse. But after pouring over your blog for the last month or so, I feel motivated to GET MOVING and make the best of our crowded little house as I can! I am reminded of my high calling, and I'm telling you, its exhausting--which is why laziness is so tempting!
Thanks so much for your inspiration!!

"I am so pleased the Copper Heeler is more readily available in America," said Dr. Chunyan Teng. "Anyone in pain from arthritis or other body pain should give it a try because it works."
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 31, 2014
Noted New York doctor Chunyan Teng believes an expanded US presence for the Original Copper Heeler will make deep inroads in fighting the war on pain for her patients who suffer the ravages of arthritis and other disorders that rob them of energy and free movement.
"The Copper Heeler is easy to use and my patients don't have any resistance to it," said noted acupuncturist Dr. Teng from her Manhattan office. "I had an 89-year-old old patient and suggested he try it and he liked it so much he bought two pair."
Acupuncture started in China 5,000 years ago and now is an accepted medical option for millions of people around the globe. Dr. Teng has been helping her patients in the war against pain for almost 30 years but added a new wrinkle to her acupuncture practice when a patient told her about a product that changed her life forever – The Original Copper Heeler®™. http://www.theoriginalcopperheelerusa.com
The 100 percent jewelry-grade heeler relieved the pain of arthritis and other joint disorder for her patients in and around New York City. The Heeler has been on the market since 2007 from London but opened an American website and office in 2014.
The doctor's mother Yunfang Qua, was suffering from the withering pain of arthritis and she gave the heeler to her mother. Three days later the senior citizen started to feel better.
"My mother's rheumatoid arthritis was so bad she could not walk up and down the stairs," Teng said. "The Copper Heeler has changed her life forever." Teng was so impressed she shared the product with her sister, herself and her husband.
It is now part of Teng's arsenal and she has purchased dozens of Copper Heelers for her patients. "The Copper Heeler keeps my feet warm in the winter and you don't even feel them in your shoes," said Teng. "I love them and so do my patients who have tried them. They are well-priced and they work."
Teng arrived in the US in 1990 and started up her acupuncture business then. She has offices in New York City and Hastings-on-Hudson in Westchester. She said some of her patients who use the Heeler report pain subsiding within three days of use. Many who had become homebound and needing round the clock care are now able to get around on their own and resume a normal lifestyle. Some have even gone back to exercise, something they were forced to stop years ago because of pain and stiffness.
"I would recommend this to anyone who is in pain to give the copper heeler a try," she said. It's not expensive, it's not invasive and my patients who have tried it love it. I really like something simple that helps people. It's easy to use they don't have any resistance."
Teng has even done several case studies of patients who have started to use the Heeler and found that people who use the product get better and within a few days to a few weeks report vast improvement.
The inventor is Anthony Andrews who has been making custom-made footwear for over 50 years and believed he could develop something to help his customers. "I was seeing so many patients who were suffering the pain of arthritis I was passionate in finding a drug-free, cost effective remedy. That's what we did and now we want to share this with America."
The Original Copper Heeler®™ insole is made of jewelry-grade copper in England and is available in all sizes it can be placed directly into the shoe or attached to a separate insole which can be moved from shoe to shoe. Priced at $49.50 a pair, plus $3.95 shipping. The company offers a full refund if not completely satisfied.

Photography and shibari rigging are a couple of my hobbies. This site contains works of art that I have created with these hobbies. Some of this art contains nudity and shibari rigging that is NSFW.
I am proud of my art. I'm happy that most people who see it as well as the local and international artist communities like it too.
My first photoshoot was in the spring of 2010. I then entered and became a finalist in 2 juried art competitions, hosted by a prominent art gallery as their participation in the annual Houston Art Crawl in 2011 and 2012. In 2012, one of my works of art was awarded 4th place from among 383 pieces of art submitted by 86 different artists. The Houston Art Crawl is a 20 year old annual event that attracts public visitors to tour a group of art galleries that all open their doors for this event. During these exhibits, my art was seen by thousands of public visitors, as well as other artists.
In 2012, I was invited by a prominent gallery, one of the oldest and largest galleries in Houston, to co-curate and co-produce a shibari exhibit as part of that gallery's participation in the Fotofest Biennial 2012. Fotofest Biennials attract hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world to Houston. Together, we created the Art of Contemporary Shibari Exhibit, which was the largest exhibit of Contemporary Shibari Art in the world. It featured 151 works of shibari art submitted by 17 international and world class shibari riggers and photographers. The exhibit was open to the public and on display from mid March to the end of May, 2012.
I have displayed my art in a gallery located in the Houston Galleria, which is a very large, fashionable and upscale mall. My art was presented for public display in that gallery from August 2012 through March 2013.
In late 2012, a young artist, in her early 20s, asked my permission to use one of my shibari photographs as inspiration for a painting. She used that photograph as inspiration to create a 4 foot by 5 foot oil painting. She subsequently entered that shibari based painting in 2 different juried competitions, and won First Place and Best in Show Awards in both competitions which were open to the public.
From time to time, I have also displayed my art in other venues, such as a restaurant, which also presents my art to its public patrons.
It saddens me when people disparage art that contains nudity or shibari rigging. Artists have been celebrating the god given beauty of the human form with nudity in their art for thousands of years. Scientists have found and dated a nude statue that is 35,000 years old. Even the ceiling of the world famous Sistine Chapel is filled with nudity. Artists have probably been celebrating the beauty of the naked human form since the beginning of mankind.
Shibari rigging is a traditional Japanese art form that is hundreds of years old. It includes the Japanese esthetic and gracefulness as it contrasts the lines and texture of rope against the smooth and beautiful lines of the human body.
There are different styles of shibari rigging. In my rigging, I use the rope to allow my models to create beautiful positions that they would not be able to create without the help of the rope. Much of my work is influenced by aerialists, acrobats, and performances by Cirque du Soleil. I like to refer to my shibari rigging style as a "Shibari Circus".
I like the beautiful images with rope applied to the graceful lines of a female body. Photography is new technology following the centuries old tradition of artists painting shibari scenes. Shibari art requires additional skills beyond photographic skills. And, it requires the model to place a lot of trust in the rigger.
A very special bond develops between the model and photographer/rigger during and after a photoshoot. I like that. I am fortunate to have worked with beautiful and talented models, some of the nicest people in the world. I like that.
In all my participations in these art exhibits, my work has included nudity and shibari rigging. None of my works of art are sexually suggestive, nor do they contain BDSM positions, and they are not abusive nor degrading to any of my models. My shibari rigging is designed to allow my models to create graceful and beautiful positions they would not be able to create without the rope. I am happy and proud that both many, many members of the public as well as amateur and professional, local and international artists like it and appreciate it. My works of art have gained me respect both in the general public and among other artists. But, if you find this type of art objectionable, please move on, and don't look at it. Understandably, not all art is appreciated by everyone.
I hope you like the art my models and I create.

God can be Uncaused
Because God is Nothing.
God hasn't the nature to deceive.
God hates religion
But loves incarnating into bodies.
God increased His available choices
By setting limits on the infinite,
Creating a finite reality.
God is a label for..
The Absolute,
Infinite Self.
God is Being what comes natural.
Without God is without Being;
Without Being is without existence.
God is Good.
They should have never taken that second 'o' out.
God is interested in our creative freedom,
Not our conformity to standards.
God is love.
When we love someone,
We're doing the loving.
God is the Egoless One,
Only wanting to experience a spacetime reality
Through avatars.
God is the one
That promotes the joys of sex, drugs and rock and roll...
While the devil,
with judging and pointing finger,
Be the indignant moralist.
God wears clothing with the brand name: NOTGOD.
God's Word is written
On the tablets of our heart;
Living words on a living page.

Clever endeavor
By appearing constantly on entertainment media such as with the late-night comics, on daytime talk shows and rubbing elbows with the Hollywood elite, Mr. Obama knew what he was achieving on "The Entertainment President" — the vigorous support from the nation's "low information voters," who were thoroughly taken in by his snow-blinding smile and his message that subtly said: "I am the most likable candidate. Vote for me and I'll give you everything you want."
You have to hand it to the president — he really knew what he was doing: How to energize the low-information voter and give them excessive incentive to get to the polls and outnumber the Republican/conservative turnout. That's how the brainwashed defeated the energized.
Let's give President Obama "The Clever Endeavor" award.

Mother the earth
In the days of the spotted owl, they told us that loggers and environmentalists had nothing in common. We believed them, and either put up yellow ribbons or slunk away silently.
In our great-great-grandparents' day, they said it was impossible to fish out the Columbia, with so many salmon you could walk across their backs. Most of the canneries closed decades ago, and today we blow-up dams to rescue tiny salmon runs.
We took the living resources from the water, from the land, and now we move to the very bones of the earth, to extract coal. Business as usual.
But this time it is different. We stand on the edge of a precipice, blindfolded by our own greed and comfort. Can we take the blindfold off? It is time to Mother the Earth. Leave the coal in the ground.

True cost of coal
All Gorge residents have a stake in the proposals to export massive amounts of coal through the Columbia Gorge by barge and rail. This is because we will all bear the impacts: reduced tourism, business, health issues, infrastructure costs and reduced air and water quality.
People and species from around the world also have a stake in coal exports. A new research study commissioned by Greenpeace ranked these proposals as the fifth-most dangerous fossil-fuel project currently being planned worldwide! (Google: Greenpeace, Point of No Return or "The True Cost of Coal" by the National Wildlife Federation.)
You and I both know these coal companies, particularly the foreign ones, will not bear these costs but will receive the profits. They are already getting the coal at a cheap price; they want the railroad to be responsible for any fire or damage done along the route; and they want the taxpayer to bear the price of infrastructure needed so that normal traffic can still run.
The companies say this will create jobs (relatively few long-term) but they don't want to bear the cost of job loss in communities along the route. They want to sell the coal, which will pollute our air, but don't feel responsible to clean it up.
You and I know these shipments are increasing the probability that China and India (the destination for this coal) will use this cheap energy instead of developing more sustainable energy. You and I know we are shutting down our coal use in the U.S. because of pollution.
So tell me; why do we want to export it, only to have it come back as toxins in the air and water? Know this: You will be affected.

Close loopholes
Re: "Need gun law change" (Our readers write, Jan. 26): I would also like to thank Sheriff English for not jumping on the bandwagon. The statistics are incomplete though; in a lot of the countries that may have lower gun deaths, they have higher crime rates.
A lot of people are jumping on the bandwagon to make it harder on law-abiding citizens. The background check system works well but could be slightly improved; in the recent shootings the suspects tried to buy guns but were denied.
Some do get through the system, though, because if the dealer does not get an OK from the FBI after three business days the dealer can release the gun to the buyer. Most small-town dealers will not do this even though they can, because if something is found the gun has to be retrieved. This is a loophole that needs fixed along with the gun show loophole.
Oregon background checks go through the FBI and Oregon State Police. And as for semi-auto rifles, they are not assault weapons. Assault weapons are fully automatic and are already unlawful to own.
I think most all people on both sides would agree to a ban on sporting rifles (semi-auto with accessories) and high-capacity clips anywhere within 3 miles of city limits. Just a thought.

Add sixth 'crazy' idea
I'd like to add one (hopefully) not-so-crazy idea to the excellent ones offered in the editor's Jan. 26 "Round Table." While the construction costs for the athlete's center (Jaqua "Academic" Center) were donated by Phil Knight, most, if not all, maintenance and operating costs are borne by us state taxpayers.
Meanwhile, two-thirds or more of the fancy, new building is off-limits to all students and anybody else except student athletes.
My proposal is simple: All the building's facilities and services should be open to all students of higher academic standing (as are the athletes in their athletics) or none of the operating and maintenance costs should be paid by the taxpayers.
Let's justify "academic" in its name! And take another stride toward Kirby's "crazy ideas."

Stone throwing
If you live in a glass house think before you start throwing stones. Some people are calling for gun control while they are talking on their cellphones while driving.
According to the National Safety Council, 6,000 adults, teens and children were killed by SANE people using cellphones while driving; 500,000 were injured by people using a cellphone while driving! Twenty-eight percent of all car accidents were caused by cellphone use.
Remember, dead is dead; whether it is due to an insane person with a gun or a sane person using a cellphone while driving!

A post-Christian pope
How is it that a conservative commentator in France that is not even a Catholic can see so clearly through the mask of bergoglio and yet "conservative" Catholics seem unable to grasp the simple truth that bergoglio is set on destroying the Church?
The commentator calls bergoglio a post-Christian pope. He could just as easily have said that bergoglio is an anti-Christian pope... but perhaps he thought this would be too shocking for people to hear.
But I have already said it and I will say it again that bergoglio is an anti-Christ... why else would all the enemies of the Church applaud him with such enthusiasm?
We have gone beyond living in a post-Christian world and are now entering into an anti-Christian world.
bergoglio says over and over again that the Church should not be turned into an NGO and at the same time he does everything humanly possible to do exactly that.
Is he not acting as a son of the father of lies?
Excerpts below are from Rorate Caeli's article. Follow the link for the full article.
For the record: Top French Commentator in Radio-Editorial: "Francis, the Anti-Benedict XVI, is leading serious Christians to desperation."
Pope Francis speaks of the roots of Europe, but never makes clear that they are Christian.
He exalts spirituality, but he barely mentions the name of God, and never that of "Christ".
He mentions "human rights", "solidarity", "exploitation, "diversity", "the environment", "globalization", and "immigration", but does not say "abortion", "euthanasia" or "homosexual marriage".
He pronounces the words are are pleasing, not the words that annoy.
This pope is obsessed with dialogue between Christianity and Islam, but other than a conventional and protocolary dialogue, how can Christianity dialogue with an Islam that considers all Christians to be Muslims who don't yet know it or who deny who they are?
Francis tosses out dogma to please the age.
Vatican II had wrought havoc on the liturgical bearings of Christians. Francis seems set on giving away the cultural and religious bearings. Pope Francis is the idol of the media, of Members of the European Parliament, and of the Left in the West. He does not seem to mind that the most vengeful and sarcastic critics of the Church applaud him.
A post-Christian pope. An adherent of a Christianity without dogmas, who is adored by contemporary Progressives who have thrown away what is Sacred into the dustbins of history.
Pope Francis is in the process of transforming the Church into a simple NGO.

Note from the Editor
Welcome back!
The Institute usually goes quiet in the summer months, but not this year, with the inauguration of our new Hyperlocal Newsroom Summer Academy. The program filled our space with more than 100 students — high school juniors and seniors, college-bound freshman and college-aged students made up the group. As we had hoped, the program attracted those with prior journalism training or experience or those seeking to learn the basics, who were tracked by age group and skill level. They spent an intensive, immersive six or twelve weeks reporting, writing and using multimedia tools to explore one of New York's most exciting neighborhoods, The East Village. Some opted for classes in essay writing or for a seminar in great journalism about the city, which we also offered. The whole program revolves around The Local East Village, NYU Journalism's thriving year-old collaboration with The New York Times. Several students saw their bylines and video reporting prominently featured on the Times site. Student work also was prominently showcased on our VillageBeat site and there were plenty of informal and organized opportunities to sample the food, entertainment, historical and other cultural riches of one of New York's most iconic neighborhoods. If you know a budding high school or college student who wants to spend an exciting summer in the city, getting college credit and learning our craft, information about the 2012 academy can be found here.
Fall will be as busy as usual, with several key events to put on your calendar.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and we have put together a remarkable panel on the reporting of that day, The Journalism of 9/11 – A Decade Later. This day-long event will cover topics such as Editing 9/11, Reporting of WOULD TAKE OUT OF 9/11, and the Journalism of the Aftermath with notable guests such as Ed Kosner, former editor-in-chief of the Daily News; Paul Steiger, former editor-in-chief of The Wall Street Journal; Caroline Miller, former editor-in-chief of New York magazine; and Soledad O'Brien of CNN among others. A full list of activities can be found here.
Then, on November 2nd, we are hosting a fundraiser for the 30th anniversary of the Urban Journalism Workshop. The UJW, a ten-day journalism workshop for high school students, has been a labor of love for our faculty for three decades. Each year, we raise enough money to supply housing, teaching staff, and equipment for the students coming to the program. The guests at our event will include Ti-Hua Chang, Pete Hamill, Bob Herbert, Spike Lee, James McBride, Soledad O'Brien and the faculty of the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute. There will be a special performance by Grammy Award-winning artist Jourdan Urbach.
On December 1st, we will celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the Journalism department of NYU. Come celebrate this milestone with us! It will serve as a chance for alumni of many decades to return and reconnect with each other and the Institute.

There's no denying that we Vegiholics like to party. That being said, it's crucial to stay hydrated while dehydrating (alcohol dehydrates!). Coconut water is over 95% water (*4% carbohydrates with protein/total fat content under 1% each*) and 100% AMAZE. Prepare and enjoy these delicious cocktails for spring/summer! As always, drink responsibly and don't forget your daily dose of regular water as well.
Coconut water is tapped from the center of young, green coconuts; this is not to be confused with coconut milk! Not only does coconut water contain essential electrolytes, but it is also rich in potassium. Potassium helps keep fluid and electrolyte balance in the body as well as balances out sodium. Major bonus: potassium fights the evil hangover that alcohol can cause. Because the flavor of coconut water is so delicate, we recommend mixing with light and clear liquors in order to not overpower the taste.
When creating these Vegiholic Coconut Water Cocktails, nothing beats cracking open a fresh baby coconut, adding in the ingredients and sipping from a straw. If you don't have access to a fresh coconut, we love Purity Coconut Water!
Strawberry Coco Lemonade:
- 2 strawberries
- 1 lemon wedge
- 2 oz. Tito's Vodka
- 3 oz. coconut water
Muddle strawberries and lemon wedge in a shaker. Add vodka and coconut water. Shake and strain over ice! *Tito's is a corn based vodka, giving it a mildly sweet aftertaste. We recommend Tito's for its flavor and price point (no rubbing alcohol taste!).*
Coconut Tequila Cooler:
- 3 pineapple chunks, blended (OR 2 oz. fresh pineapple juice)
- 2 oz. silver Tequila
- 2 oz. coconut water
Shake and strain all ingredients over ice.
Coco Rum Razz:
- 6 raspberries
- small bunch of mint (6-8 leaves)
- 2 oz. white rum
- 4 oz. coconut juice
Muddle raspberries and mint in a shaker. Add rum and coconut water. Shake and serve over ice.
ENJOY and DRINK RESPONSIBLY!
