A unique blend of 19th century social repression and 21st century rock expression continues to work its alchemy in L.A.'s first look at long-running, multiple Tony-winning tuner "Spring Awakening." Though the superb, fresh-faced company may push toward caricature in the first act, they come through in the second with a roundhouse emotional punch justly setting the first-night Ahmanson crowd on its feet in an appreciative roar.
Of course, there's no way pre-World War I German adolescents, wrestling with adults' bigotry and their own mystifying growing pains, should credibly wrest hand mics from breast pocket or smock and wail out their subtext to the driving rhythms of alternative rock.
That it works so often, and so movingly, is partly due to the truthfulness embedded in Frank Wedekind's landmark 1891 "children's tragedy" as freely adapted by Steven Sater. But mostly it's attributable to rock's capacity, through its catch-as-catch-can rhyming and extravagant metaphors, to give eloquent voice to inchoate, unarticulated desires.
Composer Duncan Sheik's ravishing melodies consistently complement Sater's ability to nail an emotion or state of being in a single, stunning lyrical image: "I don't do sadness/So been there … Just don't care" for a lad contemplating suicide; "O, I'm gonna be wounded … O, you're gonna be my bruise" for a couple embarking on a romantic adventure to a scarily unknown destination.
Helmer Michael Mayer, whose invention and sensitivity rarely flag, indulges vaudeville horseplay as the students wickedly explore libido: too many head-snapping double takes; too much audience acknowledgment for easy laughs. (Playing all the grown-up roles, Henry Stram and Angela Reed are particularly over-the-top edgy, even when the adult in question should be nominally sympathetic.)
With his pigeon-toed gait, "Eraserhead" hair and bug-eyed curiosity, Blake Bashoff in particular seems ever poised to take goofy underachiever Moritz into cartoonland. Yet crowdpleaser Bashoff always pulls back from that brink, and once he's persuaded of his L-for-loser identity a Sid Vicious rage sets our hair on end. (His, too; Grace Jones is doubtless wondering where her coiffure went.)
As burlesque gives way to dread, the story's angelic center is in ideal hands. Kyle Riabko touches every base as the kids' natural leader and self-styled philosopher, whose well-meaning efforts to dip his toe into adult sexuality lead to all-around misery. Christy Altomare avoids all cliche as the naive, virginal Wendla, desperate to "feel" — love, pain, something — and getting more than she bargained for.
Riabko and Altomare possess the standout voices and numbers, but overall company's vocal and acting strengths easily equal and may surpass those of the Gotham originals. Particularly notable are Andy Mientus' sinister mien right out of "Metropolis" as the pansexual Hanschen, and Steffi D's free-spirited Ilsa, vainly offering poor Moritz one last lifeline.
Production elements create a hothouse environment in which pent-up yearnings are denied full release, from Christine Jones' impossibly tall brick walls overwhelming the kids with olde-style family memorabilia (youth itself is hung up there on a shelf for a while), to Bill T. Jones' choreography, psychologically based to evoke stomping and wriggling captive creatures in heat.
And one can't say enough about Kevin Adams, whose lighting design owes more to the painter or sculptor's art than to that of the f/x technician. Characters are lit like rock stars, but the illumination around them and on the wall — individual multicolored bulbs as well as neon strips — subtly reinforce and change moods to remind us this is life lived full, not a concert.
As young lovers are hoisted up on a platform while a cascade of blue descends, our bliss and theirs is fleeting but palpable — an unforgettable moment of transcendent theatrical magic.
A final shout-out to conductor Jared Stein, so clearly enjoying himself upstage at the keyboard it's impossible to resist the invitation to rock out with him.

Divya Manian – Active web development
Web technologies are evolving at such a frenetic pace that it becomes almost mandatory to learn on your own. A lot of us still depend on other people to do this learning for us, and we tend to use their answers to solve our everyday problems. Inconsistent implementations, rapidly evolving specs, questionable performance impacts and maintenance implications mean we cannot always depend on others for answers but must involve ourselves actively in the process of developing specifications for new Web technologies. But how do we go about it? There are some simple rituals we can all do, which can have us be better-informed and also better inform the people and groups who are most directly involved in the development of new Web technologies.

Michael Mahemoff – HTML5: Online and Offline
HTML5 introduces several so-called "offline" technologies: application caching, local storage, and file access, to name a few. But these technologies are not just for purely offline apps; they boost startup performance, overcome network outages, and partition content away from the server. This talk will explain how you can incorporate these technologies into your work today and identify the features browsers will be supporting in the near future.

After reading ebooks for years on a PocketPC, I finally bought myself one of these fancy new ebook readers. The Amazon Kindle seems to be the only realistic choice for UK book lovers. I'm extremely impressed, to the point where I think I actually prefer the device to paper. This "eink" technology is amazing. The ebook has come of age, finally joining audio and video in the digital arena.
I quickly got to grips with some software (Sigil and Calibre) that allowed me to convert my new book I, Universe to a format compatible with all the ebook readers: Mobi (for the Kindle) and ePub (for most other readers, such as the Barnes & Noble Nook and Sony Reader). Click below and enjoy …
(If you're a Kindle user and have only ever purchased books, all you need to do is connect your device to your computer via USB and drop the Mobi version of the book into the pre-made "documents" folder.)
To help promote I, Universe, I intend to dramatise a few of the chapters, presenting an audio recording of the book alongside relevant visuals. Here is the first one …
I have commenced work on an audiobook version of I, Universe. This will take some time to produce, so rather than wait until it's completed before publishing, I will release each chapter as it is recorded. Enjoy what's available below. Each link is an MP3 file, and the total running time thus far is about one hour. Check back often for new chapters.

Reason Versus Revelation
I've decided it's time to finally release my new book. Originally, I was planning to bring it out at the end of 2012, due to some topics I wanted to research between now and then, with a view to possible inclusion. But you know what? There's always going to be something undiscovered that I wish I had included in the book. And there's always going to be something I end up wanting to amend or enhance, as I learn new things. This is a book that will never quite be finished. So, there's no time like the present …

My forthcoming book, which up till now has been called The Dark Wheel, will now bear the title I, Universe. In part, the reason for this re-branding is because I've had a change of heart about something. Regular readers will know that I've been investigating Satanism for the past couple of years. It has been a very productive inquiry. I've learned a great deal and I've been able to synthesise something invaluable out of it for myself. But the label Satanist is almost useless are a meaningful identifier. See my recent rewrite of Are you a Satanist? in the FAQ.
So, it's time to leave the sinister glamour behind and take a breath of fresh air from all the misunderstanding it provokes. It takes too much time and energy to deflect those blows. And in the interests of attracting a more general audience for the book, I hope you like the new cover design: simple but effective. I aim to have the book released by the end of the year.

Sultan is an upcoming sports action movie starring Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma. It is produced by Yash Raj Films and is scheduled to be released on Eid (6th July 2016). The total budget of the movie is said to be approximately a little over 71 crore. The budget went high due to promotional events and amazing action scenes. Another reason for such a high budget is the star cast in the movie. The movie is worth lot more because of the Salman Khan factor in the movie. Salman Khan has been the only actor to deliver movies that gross over 100 crore at the box office. The popularity of Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma will ensure that this movie will cross the 100 crore box office collection easily.
Box Office Collection
Salman Khan movies are known to deliver big at the box office. Salman's fans all over India and the world throng to the multiplexes to watch his movies. His upcoming movie Sultan is expected to be better than before. With so much anticipation and a massive build up to this movie, Sultan promises to break all box office collection records. Of the last nine movies that Salman Khan has acted in, the box office collections have crossed 1 billion rupees. Box Office collection experts are anticipating that this movie will gross 40 crore on the first day itself. The first weekend is expected to touch the 100 crore mark and Sultan is expected to continue doing huge business even after that. The biggest challenge for Sultan will be the release of Shah Rukh Khan starrer Raees on the same day. The fans will be divided and so will the screens in the multiplexes. Only time will tell which Khan will emerge a winner.

Open Thread: Everything You're Reading, Watching, Listening To and Looking At
This is your place to talk about the TV, movies, music, books and art that are thoroughly entertaining you.
When the Todd Akin story broke last August, fans of the show knew, and tweeted immediately, that Olivia Benson (Mariska Hartigay's character) is the product of a rape.
When proponents of "legitimate rape" kept digging themselves in deeper, we started to dig more deeply into where this theory comes from, and also, how it might figure into an "SVU" story.
We wanted to wait until after the elections because the issues raised are more important than the politics or personalities.
While waiting, we stumbled upon an even more disturbing aspect of rape culture.
We knew women could, and often do get pregnant from rape.
We didn't know that in 31 states, rapists have custodial rights to the children of those rapes.
So, some in the religious, medical and political establishment believe rape cannot result in pregnancy, but, if it does, the rapist has a right to raise his child.
The real stories about this are so disturbing -- a Boston rapist sued for custody of the child he "fathered" with his 14-year-old victim -- one of our challenges was to tone the fictional story down, so that it would believable.
Since the show was already depicting aspects of American rape culture, we decided to set the story in the macho world of sports and sports broadcasting. Athletes and their frequent.... um, insensitivity to women gave us a thematically entwined world in which to place our victim.
We needed a heroine who would break our heart, and a villain who didn't care if the audience hated him. We got very lucky when Lauren Cohan and David Marciano said yes. "Walking Dead" and "Homeland" are cultural phenomenons, and they both have very strong casts. It helped that the two leads, as written by Kevin Fox and Peter Blauner, were compelling characters.
Interestingly, although the two actors had several disturbing scenes together, they both kept their distance from each other between takes. I think they needed to do that, so that they wouldn't, in any way, humanize the others' character.
From their first take we realized we had cast the right actors. Most actors try to soften their character's villainy. They really do want to be liked. Marciano drove into the skid. Lauren hooked onto the fact that this was her character's one opportunity to have a child. She put herself through hell for the sake of that son.
A lot of times our set is a light place to be, with a lot of joking between takes, a lot of gallows humor. This episode brought out a much more subdued and serious tone. Often rape involves grey areas, but the belief in "legitimate rape" is not one of them. Nor are custodial rights for rapists. Everyone on set wanted to tell this story in a straightforward way, in order to bring these issues to light.
Yes, I know that might sound self-righteous, but it is what happened during this shoot.
Tonight's "legitimate rape" episode of "Law & Order: SVU" airs at 9 p.m./8 p.m. central on NBC.

AMD to showcase Bulldozer at CeBit
CeBit might actually be interesting this year ...AMD is planning to showcase its new Bulldozer architecture at CeBit in less than a month's time.
Mind you, AMD has a lot riding on the Bulldozer, as it is a completely new architecture, the first in quite a few years for AMD. We are still not sure whether AMD will show off the new part to the general public or just a select few partners and hacks.
The module-based Bulldozer architecture should deliver impressive performance and more flexibility than AMD's current cores. According to AMD, the new processors should outpace its current six-core Thuban parts by about 50 percent. This would put the Bulldozer on a par with Intel's high-end Gulftowns.
AMD is also promising to deliver next generation Turbo technology on Bulldozer server parts. Dubbed Turbo Core Dynamic Acceleration, the new technology should allow intelligent automatic overclocking on all cores, greatly improving performance over its current Turbo Core technology.
In case you forgot, this year's CeBit takes place in Hannover between March 1 and 5. Clearly it will be quite an eventful show for AMD, with new CPUs, Fusion APUs and the Antilles dual-GPU graphics card.

Mudbound (Paperback)
Spring/Summer '09 Reading Group List
"Hillary Jordan's assured first novel (recipient of the Bellwether Prize for Fiction) is set on a 1946 Mississippi farm, where Laura, a woman who once thought herself past the chance of marriage, finds herself living with her husband, two daughters, and a difficult father-in-law. The demands of the weather and the land, the life of the black sharecroppers, and the struggles of the returning soldiers, offer Jordan ample material to make her novel both complex and heartbreaking."
— Leslie Reiner, Inkwood Books, Tampa, FL
Fall '09/Winter '10 Reading Group List
"Set in 1940s Mississippi, Mudbound tells the story of how World War II becomes a catalyst for change for those living on a Delta farm. Racism weighs heavily in the story, but Jordan's respect for the complexities of the character's lives, and her pragmatic honesty, build empathy and hope in the reader. This winner of the Bellwether Prize will become a book group favorite."
— Dianne Patrick, Snowbound Books, Marquette, MI
Fall '08/Winter '09 Reading Group List
"Mudbound is not just any Southern race novel; with six first person narratives, its strength and truth is unparalleled. Jordan's expert writing is unheard of for a first novelist and you will find yourself quickly swept up by her Mississippi Delta characters. Read this brilliant novel that has everyone buzzing about Hillary Jordan as a great new literary force."
— Suzanna Hermans, Oblong Books & Music, Rhinebeck, NY
Indie Next List Highlights 2008
"Rural Mississippi just after the Second World War is a hard and muddy place. Hillary Jordan's novel Mudbound evokes the era brilliantly -- returning soldiers trying to find their way after the brutality of the war, some facing the continuing brutality of a racist America. A very compelling story."
— Cathy Langer, Tattered Cover Bookstore, Denver, CO
The International Bestseller
Now a major motion picture from Netflix, directed by Dee Rees, nominated in four categories for the Academy Awards.
In Jordan's prize-winning debut, prejudice takes many forms, both subtle and brutal. It is 1946, and city-bred Laura McAllan is trying to raise her children on her husband's Mississippi Delta farm--a place she finds foreign and frightening. In the midst of the family's struggles, two young men return from the war to work the land. Jamie McAllan, Laura's brother-in-law, is everything her husband is not--charming, handsome, and haunted by his memories of combat. Ronsel Jackson, eldest son of the black sharecroppers who live on the McAllan farm, has come home with the shine of a war hero. But no matter his bravery in defense of his country, he is still considered less than a man in the Jim Crow South. It is the unlikely friendship of these brothers-in-arms that drives this powerful novel to its inexorable conclusion.
The men and women of each family relate their versions of events and we are drawn into their lives as they become players in a tragedy on the grandest scale. As Barbara Kingsolver says of Hillary Jordan, "Her characters walked straight out of 1940s Mississippi and into the part of my brain where sympathy and anger and love reside, leaving my heart racing. They are with me still.

DOWNEY - This Christmas, Johnny Sibaja wasn't going to put up his usual lights display, but after some quick contemplation, the 32-year-old engineer couldn't resist.With 112 computerized channels, 7 circuit boards, 25 spot lights and 6 water pumps that shoot streams of water high into the air, Sibaja's outdoor Christmas display is far from ordinary. Since 2007, the Downey native has produced an elaborate light and water show in his front yard using a computer program called Light-O-Rama, which allows its owners to animate their light displays by synchronizing them with holiday music. When Sibaja first saw the technology in action, he was mesmerized. "A couple of years ago, there was a video going around the internet of this house. It was somebody back east - their lights and music were all synchronized," said Sibaja. "My sister forwarded it to me and said, "Top this." I said, "That's my new challenge - I need to do this." After some online research, Sibaja, who graduated from ITT Technological Institute in 2002 with a Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering, found the Light-O-Rama software and began drafting his own light show. Before his computerized orchestration comes to life, Sibaja programs each light and water feature, selecting which actions they must do for every second of the 13 songs he runs continually in a loop each night. Although the music is played outside the home, visitors can also listen to the music inside their cars. Sibaja uses a small FM broadcaster, which plays his music on 107.7 FM, broadcasting the holiday tunes more than 200 feet from his house so sightseers can hear them, while viewing the choreographed show. As jazzy horns blast in the background, bright beams of light skip, hop and twirl over wide arches. In the front window, a life-sized bear dressed in a red Santa suit moves his lips as if to sing "Jingle Bells," while water pops up into the air, colored by green, blue and red lights. Depending on its length, Sibaja said it takes anywhere from four to eight hours to program one song into his computer. "I try to concentrate on one particular area at a time," he said. "I can see the peaks in the music and I try to match the lights with it." Though the intricate display adds about $50-$60 more to Sibaja's monthly light bill, the Downey High School graduate maintains that the sacrifice is well worth it. "I've spent over $1,000 for the equipment I have so far," said Sibaja. "I do it for the people. I've always decorated, but I just wanted something unique and different. The kids love it - I just want to give back to them and say "Merry Christmas." Sibaja's home is located at 7857 Cole St. where his show runs Sunday through Thursday from 6 - 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 5:30 - 10:30 p.m. However, Sibaja said he will extend the show until midnight this weekend for Christmas. The show will end after New Year's weekend. As for Sibaja, the buzz word for next year's light show is "more." "I'm already thinking of what to do next year," he said. "I want more channels, more LED lights - maybe more water features."

Discover your purpose and transform your life now using a Holistic approach to change.
FEES from $140 USD to $1300 USD for coaching packages. more...Request a free consultation Contact Me
Let me guide you to make deep changes in your life from a truly Holistic perspective. Changing our thoughts is important but registering change deeply in the subconscious and physiology is essential for lasting transformation to take place.
I believe we all have a Soul Purpose and that when we learn to tap into our strengths, get out of our own way, and mindfully lean into discomfort, we can step into our Best Selves and really love and contribute to our lives.
I work intuitively and with evidence-based practices to guide you to examine your personal limitations, connect with the Source of life, and Cooperate with "the real world" for balanced wellbeing.
My background is eclectic, as I've spent time working in Outdoor Education, Fine Arts, Personal Development Counseling, Addiction Counseling, and Massage and Bodywork. I integrate all of my life experiences in a cohesive way to encourage integrated and holistic wellness and empowerment.
We all have unmet potential and blind spots that can make us feel stuck in life, unworthy, or anxious. Do you feel trapped in a plateau, unable to enjoy your life as much as you think you could? Maybe you've struggled to integrate your spirituality with the practicality of daily life. Soul Work Life Coaching will provide the tools and support to boost your personal evolution to the next level so that you can embody the best version of yourself.
I coach using a combination of skill sets, including mindfulness training, somatic exploration, relaxation, goal setting, facing fears, self-expression, accountability, body and energy work, and out-of-the-box thinking. I combine intuition with a lovingly challenging environment in order to guide you to the core issues standing between you and the life you want.
The serenity prayer is a foundation of this work as I teach you to maneuver between acceptance and action toward a wise connection and co-creation with life.
When we work together one-on-one, you may choose to include bodywork, energy work, expressive arts, or nature walks into your sessions for maximum change and integration. I will guide your through the processes of transformation and help you learn how to use your fresh wings.
With online coaching, I will guide your through the processes of transformation and guide you to build on your strengths. We will work together to discover your passions, goals, limitations, and breakthroughs. I will guide you to use mindfulness skills and self-awareness to integrate change on all levels and heal yourself.
Workshops and Support Groups create a safe community where we can all grow and change together. Skills and insights will be offered to assist your journey and live life to the max.
I'm passionate about personal development because I think it's at the root of evolution as we continue to create a healthier world. I've worked hard to understand how to integrate my spiritual understandings with the practicalities of daily life and have developed a green thumb for personal growth and co-creation. I have a Master's Degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology, a field dedicated to strengthening the core of a person at a holistic level. Over the years, I've worked as a Massage Therapist, Wilderness Therapy field guide, and Addictions Counseling Resident. My eclectic background helps me to address the bigger picture of well-being and open up doors of change.
Fees: from $140 USD to $1300 USD
I offer individual session rates of $140 per 1 hour session as well as package rates including 5 to 10 discounted weekly sessions. I can also provide monthly membership rates of $450/month, which includes one session a week and email correspondence. Scholarship rates are available to a limited number of individuals with serious financial need.

A contract extension letter should contain the names and addresses of the involved parties, the effective date of the extension, the ending date of the extension, and the name and date of the original contract, according to Rocket Lawyer Incorporated. A request for an extension of time to make a payment must include the names of those involved, the due date of the next payment and a request for a specific amount of time, according to R.P.

Additional important details for a contract extension letter are the names of any signatories for the involved parties and any amendments to the provisions of the original document, notes Rocket Lawyer Incorporated. An attachment of the original contract lets the involved parties see any changes clearly.
Requests for an extension of time to make a payment should also provide the lending party with a reason to approve the extension, such as a good payment record, as indicated by R.P. Emery & Associates. An indication of interest in maintaining a healthy relationship with the lending party also helps.
Important details to include in a lease extension letter are names of the landlord and tenant, the address, and the date of the original lease as well as a paragraph indicating mutual agreement about a specific time period for the extension, according to R.P.

Disclosure: I am co-chair responsible for organizing the BERC Summit
Next month, the UC Berkeley Energy and Resources Collaborative (BERC) will be hosting their annual Energy Summit -- a two-day event showcasing the research and innovations in energy happening in the Berkeley community and beyond. The theme of the flagship Conference on Friday is "Collaborative Innovation, Systemic Change," -- in other words: it takes a community of public, private, and civil sector actors for energy innovations to commercialize successfully.
Living in the Bay Area, I frequently see the contrast between commercialization pathways for innovations in the energy field and in the software/technology fields. On the one hand, take the chart from M37's Ilan Gur, below, which shows that private sector seed stage investing in cleantech is at an all time low:
Source: M37
Cleantech innovations have to rely almost entirely on University and government R&D programs to get off the ground today. On the other hand, the overall trend for seed-stage financing is at an all time high:
Source: CB Insights
While Series A and B follow-on deals are still lagging for many of these tech companies, it is still clear that new innovations in software/tech have ample private-sector opportunities to get the capital they need to prove out their concepts. Add this distinction to the facts that that cleantech companies are frequently much more capital intensive, can have considerably longer sales cycles, and are frequently involved with more complex regulatory processes than other tech companies, and it becomes clear just how different energy technology commercialization can be.
The Keynote Plenary session at the BERC Conference will touch on many of these themes as the participants share their perspectives on how successful innovation happens in the energy field. Panelists will include ARPA-E's Cheryl Martin, KPCB's Brook Porter, and Google's John Woolard, who all bring a wealth of experience collaborating among various public and private sector actors to advance the energy field.
And while the panelists won't be talking CDR explicitly, I think many of the lessons they share will be directly relevant to helping the CDR field develop over the next decades. Which is why I'm excited for the BERC Summit. And if this piques your interest as well, check out www.bercenergysummit.com for more info!

Urban Tree Forge to create
Tables for the G-20 Summit here in Pittsburgh
Thank you!!... to Phipps Conservatory for the great opportunity to participate in our city's hosting of the G-20 summit!
Phipps Conservatory, located here in the city of Pittsburgh, asked us to design twelve tables for a dinner and discussion session that will be held in their beautifully remodeled facility for the G-20 summit, and we just received the official approval to begin the project.
Fortunately, we just happen to have a number of trees that we recovered from Riverview Park, located here in the city, that were removed last year.
Joe and Ben Suto of Lumberjack Tree Service were kind enough to allow us the opportunity to utilize the trunks of some of these magnificent beauties that the city was forced to remove for local projects. We weren't sure how we would use them, but we knew they were just too amazing to walk away from... and now we know why, especially since they just came out of the kiln last week... Talk about synchronicity!! How wonderful to be afforded this great opportunity to make use of the tremendous natural resources available to us here right in our own great city Pittsburgh.
When we're finished with this project, we'll still have a few more of these beautiful specimens available for consideration for a future project or two... maybe there's an opportunity waiting for you... We'll just have to wait and see!

Merce had started choreographing a new full-length dance, which he had decided to call BIPED, a name of special significance to us.Essay by Paul Kaiser

- Ocean
John Cage's idea for Ocean was that the dance be presented in the center in a circular space with the audience surrounding the dancers and the musicians further surrounding the audience on all sides so that the sound would come from multiple directions, the 112 musicians being separated around the space. There is no conductor. John Cage had discussed the project with Andrew Culver, who had put his ideas into the computer; this led Andrew to believe that the piece could be completed, after John Cage's death in 1992.

MERCE CUNNINGHAM 65 YEARSAdapted from text by David Vaughan, Archivist Emeritus MCDC1964 WORLD TOURFor two or three years, Cunningham and Cage had been receiving invitations to visit India, from the Sarabhai family, and Japan, from the Sogetsu Art Center, Tokyo. Cage had known Gita Sarabhai for some twenty years; he had taught her about contemporary Western music in exchange for lessons on Indian music. The invitation from the Sogetsu Art Center came about through Toshi Ichiyanagi, whose music Cunningham had used for Story and who sometimes played for classes at the Cunningham Studio. (He was at that time married to Yoko Ono.)

iEARN International Conference and Youth Summit 2012 Session Acceptance
Thank you so much for your session proposal for the 2012 iEARN International Conference and Youth Summit! We're please to let you know that your submission has been accepted! Your proposal is now in the "iEARN accepted proposals" list on the website. Here are some important tasks for you.
1. Because we have sessions being presented from all different time zones, as a speaker you actually schedule your own session time at http:// http://iearn.youcanbook.me. This allows you to see the available slots and to pick something that works within your time zone, work schedule, or other constraints. We're quite proud of how this works, as it is one of the benefits of a virtual conference, but if you should fun into any difficulties finding a time that works for you, email me directly (firstname.lastname@example.com).
We encourage you to do this quickly, as proposals are being reviewed in the order in which they were submitted, so your priority for selecting a session time depends on you scheduling right away. When you do select you time, be sure that the scheduling system has the correct time zone for you!
To schedule your session, you should open http://www.globaleducationconference.comto your presentation proposal (you can do a search on your name to find it, or click on "My Page" in the top menu and then click on the "discussion" link on the left side to find it). Open the session booking link from above in another tab. You will find it easiest to copy the information from one to the other rather than re-type it. Once completed, you will receive an email confirmation of your booking.
2. As a presenter, you need to make sure you are a member of the iEARN conference "presenters group" on the network website. Most of our announcements to speakers will be sent to the members of this group, so as not to email all site members. Join the group (or check to make sure you're already a member) athttp://www.globaleducationconference.com/group/iearn-2012-conferenc....
3. Presenters are responsible for knowing how to use Blackboard Collaborate (formerly Elluminate). We will have a cadre of volunteers on hand during the conference to help with any issues, but you need to go through the moderator training for Collaborate if you are not a seasoned user. There will be a variety of training resources at the GEC Collaborate website, and we email the speakers group in some weeks alerting you to actual live training sessions.
Again, we are so delighted to have you participating in the 2012 iEARN International Conference and Youth Summit. Thank you!

New Orleans Saints reserve linebacker Chris Chamberlain says he is out for the season after injuring his left knee Friday night in an exhibition game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Chamberlain confirms in postings on his Twitter page that MRI results from Saturday show he has torn his anterior cruciate ligament.
The linebacker says his knee buckled as he pursued running back Montell Owens during the second quarter.
New Orleans brought in Chamberlain this season as a free agent from St. Louis, where he played under new Saints defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, who was the Rams' head coach the past three seasons.
Chamberlain was a starter last season in St. Louis, but in New Orleans was expected to rotate in at weak-side linebacker and play on special teams.

text: So for the last few years I have had an odd issue. When above 91%, only a couple channels work and they randomly turn on and off between 92%-99% and nothing turns on at 100%. Additionally, some low intensities below 30 (lights are pretty much off by 30%) glitch full brightness. I've gotten around this by simply only programing between 30%-91% intensities. My setup uses a rennard dimmer (595 converter) and both Grinch and 595 boards. Has anyone encountered this issue before? Should I set up dimming profiles for all my channels? Setting each individually would be a huge pain at over 256 channels. Anyways curious if there is an easy fix for this. We run 100% LED lighting.

Soup kitchens are often an essential resource for deeply impoverished individuals across the United States. But a new analysis shows that the free meals provided in many of these establishments are high in fat and low in other essential vitamins--an especially problematic situation for those who receive little other sustenance.
The analysis, released last month by researchers at the University of California San Francisco's Center for Vulnerable Populations at San Francisco General Hospital, examined the nutritional content meals handed out at sites across San Francisco and found that, by and large, the meals had an unhealthy amount of fat while providing low levels of fiber, calcium and vitamins A and E.
"We really want to be interested in providing not just any calories but the right kind of calories," said Dr. Courtney Lyles, a research specialist at USCF and lead author of the study. "The breakdown is really between donated food versus fresh fruit and vegetables. The meals tended to do well in areas like protein, but lacked in micro-nutrients, which primarily come from fresh fruits and vegetables."
The study looked at 22 meals--varied between breakfast, lunch and dinner--handed out at six different sites across San Francisco on non-consecutive days.
While there isn't a great deal of literature on the subject, Lyles noted that it wouldn't be surprising to find similar results in other cities because incorporating a significant proportion of fresh fruits and vegetables is a common challenge facing many soup kitchens around the country.
The health content of the meals provided by soup kitchens can often be an afterthought to simply making sure that everyone has enough to eat. However, since the population served by soup kitchens tends to lack access to health care, chronic diet-related diseases like diabetes and hypertension can often go untreated in a medical setting--leaving more of the burden of managing these conditions directly on food intake.
"This is something we struggle with all the time," said Karl Robillard, a spokesman at St. Anthony's, one of the largest homeless services organizations in San Francisco. "The need for fresh fruits and vegetables is paramount."
Robillard noted that one of the ways his organization works to get healthier meals is to coordinate directly with farmers for donations. "If a peach falls on the ground, it can no longer be sold to grocery stores, but that doesn't mean it's not edible," he explained, noting that his organization's cost averages out to about fifty cents per meal. "Those are the sorts of things we regularly get donated from both large- and small-scale farms in California."
Robillard recounted how, when pro golf's U.S. Open came to San Francisco a few years ago, the food vendor donated all of the event's leftovers to St. Anthony's, which allowed the organization to give out a whole host of healthy, tasty food items.
A report by the U.S. Conference of Mayors notes that, as a result of the recession, there's been a 24 percent increase nationally in the demand for emergency food services.
Many urban areas where homeless people tend to congregate, such as San Francisco's Tenderloin District, have been labeled "food deserts," because there are few places where residents can purchase fresh, healthy food.
In response, the city has pushed to allow a neighborhood farmers market to operate multiple days per week and, thanks to recent government efforts, many farmers markets have begun accepting food stamps.

Ford Aspire was the moniker given to the second-generation Ford Festiva, a subcompact car sold by Ford Motor Company in the US and Canada from 1994 until 1997. The Aspire was available only as a hatchback with either 3 or 5 doors and Kia Motors in South Korea made the body. Other components were also outsourced such as the engine, which was made by Mazda of Japan. It fact, the Ford Aspice was sold as the Kia Avella in Asia, and as the Ford Festiva in Japan and Australia. On the better side of things, this model would be more popular today on account of its fuel efficiency. It has an average fuel economy of about 30 miles per gallon, and even better, the manual transmission models can get up to 45 miles per gallon. To add to the benefits, this model would be great for cities such as New York and San Francisco, as it is favored for parallel parking. The Ford Aspire was the first North American car in its class to have standard dual air bags and optional 4-wheel ABS making it another reason why consumers might prefer this model over another. To satisfy the adventurous types, a sporty SE model was available from 1994 to 1995, and included a tachometer with blue faced gauges, a rear spoiler, alloy wheels, fog lights and "SE" badging. It is very rare to today find the tachometer-equipped instrument cluster making it a fairly high priced automobile if found in good used condition. The year 1997 marked a time for upgrades and the Aspire received a new oval grill, rounded headlamps among other minor changes. This was the last year for North American sales. It was soon thereafter replaced in Kia's lineup by the Kia Rio. At this point it was sold under its own name since the Ford-Kia-Mazda relationship had broken down.<< Back to Vehicle Index

The complete works of 3D computer animation pioneer Beny Tchaicovsky. This beautiful hardcover collection explores Tchaicovsky's awardwinning computer graphics as well as his otherworldly, surrealist paintings.
A complete catalogue raisonné of Tchaicovsky's works, Beyond Duality includes paintings and stills from his CG work, as well as QR-code links to clips of his videos. This stunning compilation is a tribute to an inordinately talented and fecund artist whose work deserves much wider recognition.
A visionary and pioneer of early computer graphics who used the medium to explore his unique personal visions. Alex Grey, American artist, author and teacher
Anything can happen in art, as long as we use a multidimensional point of reference. The challenge is to connect those dimensions and incorporate this higher reality in everyday life. This is the aim of my work. Beny Tchaicovsky
Multimedia artist Beny Tchaicovsky (1954-2009) was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a child of Russian and Polish immigrants. Tchaicovsky was a painter, musician, award winning computer artist, a visionary and a traveler. His art has been categorized as Surrealism or Fantastic Realism. Beny resisted labels but when pressed in a 1988 interview, he termed his style as Esoteric Realism in which he explained creativity is used as a tool for self exploration and has a critical role to play in helping to raise humanity consciousness. Aside from a strong metaphysical aspect, much of his work is a critique to a globalized economic system based in consumerism and war. Tchaicovsky was one of the pioneer artists who contributed to the birth of the new technology of 3D animation as an art form in the early 1990's. He understood early on the relevance of this new technology and self-taught its software to use as a tool for his creative expression. Beny's work has been seen on music albums, DVD's, magazine covers, billboards and has been displayed in exhibitions in France, Germany, Brazil, and the United States.

Pushing The Ego Aside
By: Corey Easton
Posted in: Spirituallity
This is from my own experience and how I "pushed my ego aside".
My first step to getting rid of my ego was to realize my ego was not my friend anymore it was a threat to me and the people I love around me. You see when you view someone as your friend it is hard to notice the evil they are doing behind your back when your not looking.
So when I looked at my ego as a threat to me, my happiness and people around me I could monitor it, it could no longer do evil without me knowing. It was not tip toeing in the background anymore I watched it and saw the true evil.
I am gonna explain to you what the ego does with a explanation and a example. The ego is like a cloud that floats above our head all of our focus goes to it. this cloud produces lets just say about 1000 thoughts per day. These are the type of thoughts that automatically judge people when you are walking past them based on there weight, ethnicity…etc. You see the ego like to build itself up it likes to make you feel good and better about yourself but every time it is doing this you are actually losing more control in your life, it is a false illusion. The ego is the reason why sometimes you feel like your in a jail cell in your own mind. BECAUSE YOU ARE!
This is a long process this is not a sprint, you need to be extremely patience and aware, so I am watching my ego and I catch it right before it is about to give me a thought about making fun of someone because of there weight, I got one down now my ego will give me 999 thoughts per day, just using the number as a example. So I keep doing this and one day even if it is for 10 minutes my ego cloud goes away and my focus goes on my body for the first time ever this experience will change you forever, and I feel how the energy flows in my body and feel the chakra's. Even if this only lasts for 10 minute you begin to realize the universal consciousness. This will motivate you to continue the battle against your ego it is not easy and not for everyone, its all about how bad to you want to better yourself and your life, I made that decision when I was battling a lot of mental disorders and it was either my life was going to end or I was going to take up arms against my ego.
I will use one more example that lead me to some of the explanations above when we have trauma in our childhood and during are teenage/adult years it will try to heal itself by releasing this trauma experience from our body by removing the "trauma energy" the problem is it hits our ego and we can not stop thinking about it so the trauma goes back into our body and never releases, when we put our ego to the side we can realize that trauma energy want to escape and lead it the exit so we no longer hold onto this weight anymore. exit stands for a lot more which would be an entire discussion itself.

At the annual Consumer Electronics Show, Las Vegas's festival of technology, the exhibitors face a problem – the public has lived through a revolution fostered by the web and the iPhone. Now they're a little weary, and sceptical that every device claims to be the next big thing. Samsung, Sony, Panasonic and more rely on brand loyalty, but mustn't promise too much.
So the corporations are looking around for a new way to capture public attention: is it curved TV screens, flexible displays, computers you wear or the integration of every new device with the web?
The answer, annoyingly for them, is all of the above, but none will individually produce change at the pace of recent years. LG doesn't make its own task any easier by claiming users will all soon be texting their washing machine to ask "What are you doing?", but it's the creeping of the web into every device we use that will indeed change how we all live. Unfortunately, it's such a diffuse phenomenon it poses a problem for brands, and for marketing, especially as consumers demand they must all agree to work with rivals' products.
At this year's CES, there are more car manufacturers than ever, many integrating Google's mobile phone operating system Android, and there are more healthcare companies than ever, too. Add that to a plethora of smart devices, from socks to toothbrushes, and the overwhelming sense is of technology beginning to define every single product category. Individually, almost every new thing feels like a gimmick. In sum, they're the arrival of the smart home that has been promised for decades.
The risk, of course, is that like mobile phones and tablets every piece of hardware becomes increasingly commoditised: consumers already see that TVs offer resolution that is better than they will ever really be able to perceive. So brands must try to create their own platforms to gain users' loyalty, combining their products with those of others.
In a world where even a vacuum cleaner's defining feature will be its software, that means no company can plot its future based on its past.
