There isn't a soul, it's just the thinking brain thinking about itself. The soul is just another one of those wishful-thinking-theist-thingys.

RE: The So Called 'Soul'
Haha thank you everyone, I do admit that I did indeed mean a Conscience of sorts but I'm glad a handful of people understood what I was trying to ask. I only asked this due to the fact I got asked by a theist that "If God didnt give us souls, how come some of us hate music and others dont?", Idiotic question but it got me wondering.
RE: The So Called 'Soul'
> If God didnt give us souls, how come some of us hate music and others dont?
Idiotic question? no, but as phrased it's a biased question.
What does god giving souls have to do with the question? remove the front part, and you have an impartial question.
How come some of us hate music and others dont?
The answer to which was given in several prior posts. cause you were either wired that way in your brain (tones that give comfort/pleasure in others don't for your brain mechanics), or you learned not to like it from past experiences (e.g. beliefs, often instilled by observing others and wanting to fit in - your friends in grade school hated country so you hate it too, etc), or a combination of both.

RE: The So Called 'Soul'
I think we all have different aptitudes that govern our perception of and reaction to various stimuli - for example the same event could be interpreted by some as grim, others as humorous, etc. I don't think there's anything going on within and between humans that's more than biochemical and physical. That said, I think there's MORE going on in our minds than we can understand at the present time. People talk about "soul mates" or bonding with certain people in a way they can't with other people, etc. I think that's just compatibility, plain and simple.
I come into this with the background of being a hobbyist musician. I'm in a "jam" band (think The Grateful Dead or Phish but maybe with a somewhat darker sensibility like Lou Reed or Pink Floyd) and I've had moments with other musicians where you find a groove and enter into a shared experience that SEEMS to be more than biochemical, more than simply the reaction of our senses to a shared stimuli. I don't think this is evidence of a higher power, a greater consciousness, or anything supernatural, but I think it's well established that rhythmic repetition and a sort of monotonous melody can lull individuals and groups into a trance state. Religion certainly understands this with meditation, chanting, ritual dancing, etc. The difference is I think it's our bodies that produce this effect, not a god or higher power. But I will say I've "gone to a place" in the midst of some extended jamming (aided at times by chemical intoxicants no doubt) where it feels like there's a connection beyond just sight and sound; it results in an almost pre-cognition of what the notes and the beat will be before it happens, an almost out-of-body meditative feeling, like you're observing it from outside. Again - I think it's just the body and mind playing tricks, or functioning in some way we have yet to grasp scientifically; or which HAS been explained but which I'm ignorant of; some biochemical, hormonal, genetic leftover from our days as pack animals hunting in groups maybe. I have read articles that deal with musicians' brains being different over time than "normal" brains, and that musicians seem more able to understand nonverbal communication between each other. I can see how theists might construe this as a mingling of "souls," guided by the hand of a higher power, but I see no reason to believe it's anything supernatural or inexplicable.

mr. boston, the connection you describe sounds quite similar to what I often feel when getting busy with my better half, there's a bunch of jamming going on then too
i have a few musician friends that have explained the same as you, in particular the communication between players of improvisational jazz. I unfortunately do not have, or have not been able to, hone any musical talent. I'm guessing there are similar out-of-body connected feelings in many other realms where the minds are trained and focused on the same thing; sports, debate, sex, etc. It's definitely a cool feeling.

RE: The So Called 'Soul'
The science of consciousness has not been figure out yet. Parts of the brain that create judgment and inhibition, among many other things, are in the frontal lobe (in your forehead) and I once read that the frontal lobe continues to develop 'til about age 30. Personality is about half inherited. By personality traits, I mean being timid/outgoing, risk-taking or fearful, argumentative/agreeable, and much more. These traits may be encouraged or suppressed by environment.
About a study of the inheritability of personality traits - http://www.nytimes.com/1986/12/02/scienc...rited.html
About the frontal lobe of the brain - http://www.neuroskills.com/brain-injury/...-lobes.php
I think consciousness and the self is organic (chemical), from the brain, of the brain. I think that the self is not actually a whole entity, but a compilation of the activities of the brain and that the brain creates the illusion of an entity, just as it is constantly creating an illusion of reality, or a story that makes sense for the sake of survival.
It is self-evident that I do not need religion or God to be a moral, happy, productive human being.

Scouting for Whitetail has always been a big part of my hunting techniques. I hunted the same area for 19 years until sawmill's thirst swallowed the mature trees in my prime hunting zone. I was now in search of a new Whitetail Hunting Territory.
My co-worker mentioned that I was welcome to join his hunting party, this was in 1998. I was not too keen joining 7 hunters in what I thought was a small hunting zone, but I agreed to do a scouting excursion. These guys had been hunting this area for 4 years and never harvested a deer. They said there were lots of signs, but they had never seen a live whitetail there.
My first scouting trip revealed they were right, lots of signs. I marked a tree in an area that was familiar to them and suggested they put a tree stand there. The season ended with 2 of the hunting party harvesting each a 10 point mature whitetail buck from that tree stand, that made me feel good.
These guys were hunting a small part of a fairly large expansion. I decided to scout and explore one mile north of that zone, but it was the 3rd week of Deer Hunting Season. I was amazed of the amount of whitetail deer signs there. I came across a deer trail that had 3 scrapes within 60 feet. A heavy frost that morning had been scraped so fresh I could almost smell that buck.
The next morning, I checked the scrape line again to reveal that the buck was indeed in full rut. I spent the rest of that Saturday hunting hard and trying to figure out the area, feeding zone, bedding areas and deer trails. On Sunday, I spent most of the day at home going over in my head what strategy I was going to use on Monday.
The birthday party went way too late Sunday night and I woke up late, 7:00 am Monday morning. I grabbed my gear, rushed out, drove to the area and ran to the approaching spot by 8:30 am. Then I snuck into the prevailing wind, found a cover to sit behind on the ground where I could see the scrapes.
The late night, the exhaustion and the anticipation got the best of me and I fell asleep. I woke up in a daze to crashing noise, not sure where I was. When I got my bearings, I couldn't believe my eyes. A nine point whitetail buck was pawing at one of the scrapes. The explosion from my 308 woke me up for sure, and down went this trophy buck.
I field dressed the animal and walked out to get some help for the retrieval. Dad was too happy to attach a strap to his three wheeler, take that deer home for skinning.
I lost a lot of pictures from past hunts. The picture here is from my last hunt, 3 years ago.

As I continue to learn angular, I have found myself moving towards more abstract/dynamic programming with javascript. That is, relying on a languages features to alter the functionality of piece of code through data. Recently I've discovered the need for dynamically bound inputs – or input fields that bind to a scope during runtime and are unknown at "compile" time. The following provides a basic approach towards that end.
First, some basic data testing. Our
$scope will contain a model for us to bind to, and we'll display the values with some simple HTML.

The Free and Reduced Lunch program is a federally funded program based on student-family income that provides increased funding to the student. In addition, if a certain percentage of the school's populace is on the program, the school receives additional funding. Since 2011, Bonita Vista High School has missed the 35% mark needed to receive Title I funding.
This year, the BVH administration has increased their efforts of getting students signed up by sending emails to parents/guardians, making informational flyers and meeting personally with students. Although no number could be provided, Principal Roman Del Rosario E.d.D. reported that there is a significant projected increase from last year's 27 percent. Del Rosario is confident the school will surpass 35% FARL enrollment and receive Title I funding for the 2017-2018 school year.
"As an admin team, [we] all agree FARL needs to be accessible to all students that qualify. We made a team decision to push the applications so students that qualify would be able to take advantage of opportunities such as, college application fee waivers for UC and private universities. Qualifying students can also take AP tests for $5 as opposed to $95. We all agreed that these are essential tools as we continue to support our students on the college and career ready path," Assistant Principal Jennifer Barker-Heinz said.
BVH is one of only four Sweetwater Union High School District high schools without Title I funding, including Eastlake, Otay Ranch and Olympian High School. However, Bonita Vista Middle School has been Title I funded for the past four years and are on track to qualify for their fifth year.
"My theory was that it's the same families and relatively the same income as the middle school and that the issue was that there wasn't enough support and there weren't enough communications with the families on the importance of these lunch applications and that's why there was that dip in high school," Del Rosario said. "Not only will it help students with those waivers but once we get to 35 percent, we are eligible for Federal Title I funding."
Del Rosario thinks there is a variety of reasons for the lack of sign-ups, for example, the high school students' lack of communication with parents as well as not wanting to eat lunch from school. Del Rosario stated that his goals for the push was to bring more funding to the school and to better serve the community's needs.
The additional funding must first go through the district's Local Control and Accountability Plan to see how those dollars will be spent. According to the SUHSD Director of State and Federal Programs Dr. LuzElena Perez, "the key to best use of Title I funds is to know the needs of the most at-risk students and design goals to best support them." Funding is expected to be used on programs such as TEAM and AVID that directly benefit the students under the FARL plan.

It's a real pleasure to congratulate all those students in Sutton Coldfield who have achieved so highly in their A, AS-Level and GCSE examination results.
Throughout the year I visit all of Sutton's secondary schools (and many of the primary schools) to speak to those students soon to be facing important exams. Having met many of the pupils, including those who take part in the Sutton Coldfield School's Debating Competition, it is no surprise that they have done so well.
Several schools in Sutton Coldfield exceeded last year's A-Level and GCSE results, with many noting substantial improvements. It is clear that these achievements are a tribute to the high calibre of our local schools, dedication of our teachers, and determination of our students, not to mention quite a number of supportive parents!
It is shaping up to be a momentous year for education generally. The Government's aim of transferring power from national and local bureaucracies to teachers and head teachers is being achieved on an unprecedented scale. Higher standards than ever are being demanded from our schools. This month, for the very first time, teachers, parents and charities will be opening new Free Schools to serve their local communities.
Here in Sutton, three of our secondary schools have converted to academies, with another due to follow soon.
The Academies Act, passed by Parliament last summer, has enabled many existing schools to convert to academies, allowing them to enjoy the freedoms and benefits of academy status which the last government restricted to only a few.
We have seen a big increase across the country in the number of formal applications for academy status; currently more than a third of all secondary schools have converted or are in the process of doing so. As of last month the total number of academies in England had risen to 1,070, that's 867 new academies since the Coalition took over in May 2010.
It is inspiring to see teachers and head teachers embrace these reforms in such overwhelming numbers. The Government invited the professionals to take more responsibility for educating their pupils and they have responded in droves.
At the same time, there will be no let up in the improvement of underperforming schools. The academies programme aims to transform life-chances by enabling great schools which have converted to academies to share their expertise with other schools and by stepping in where persistent failure is letting children down.
It will be a long, hard road to reverse the decline in standards that occurred under the previous government but I believe we are making real progress in this area.
With the summer holidays drawing to a close this week, and our young people either beginning a new school year or embarking on an entirely new chapter of their lives, I would like to wish all of them the best of luck and success for the future.

They are perfect for any business meeting as they boost the appeal of a tall women's shape giving her a tremendous confidence boost. Large size jeans for larger women are just as easy to find as other size, providing you know what to search for. First – make sure you purchase the appropriate size. Don't squeeze yourself into a smaller size. Similar to jeans for curvy women, make sure that there's a sufficient yoke piece. They actually do make the difference where gaping is worried. Don't purchase large spaced rear pockets and make sure they're the kind of denim that have Lycra or spandex woven into the fabric.
Never Replacing Your Cute Jeans Will Ultimately Destroy You
Jeans the exact very same size chop and colors can fit in one in addition, the same person differently, as there are simply barely any two matched pairs for distressed jeans for juniors. Furthermore, one need to genuinely value that after specifically exactly what been donning jeans for a short time they grow to be bigger, for this reason you need to most likely purchase jeans a tad smaller sized in proportions. Lay the torn denim down on a clean, clear workspace. Use the ruler to determine a 6 inch square on the denim fabric. Work to keep the edges of the square at best angles. Make as many 6 inch squares on the torn denim jeans as you can. Eliminate the squares with your scissors and stack them up. Eliminate one of the denim squares from the stack. Fold over one edge of the denim and pin it down. Fold over the edge on the opposite side and pin it. Then pin the other two edges. Thread your needle and tie the thread on so that it won't come loose. Starting at the back of the denim coaster, place the needle into one of the corners then bring it back through.
Many individuals understand the roots that blue women color jeans have in America. They are a sign of everything America is expected to be: devoid of the status quo. It is nearly impossible to distinguish social and economic status of any specific wearing a pair of them. They are the invention of Jacob Davis, but were made famous by the business owner Loeb Strauss who later on changed his name to Levi. On May 7th, 1873 the patent for them was received from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. A number of my favorite jeans are Diesel and White House Black Market jeans. The cut, quality and styling are all impressive. I also came across another great brand, Christopher Blue Jeans, that should offer remarkable comfort and design. Their Juku jean looks to be a particularly flattering design for women. It is not indicated to be tight fitting but is cut to flatter a woman's curves. The jean retains it form with the blending of lycra which also permits comfort and stretch.

Abyo is a girl... right?That's still no excuse to do what you're thinking Pat
Long story short ... the server wasn't working and I couldn't really even post to the site, and it was just getting worse and worse (which is why I turned off the commenting a few weeks ago on the main site). I couldn't update the site because I couldn't GET into the backed of the site ... it was that bad. Well, after rebuilding the server and upping the memory the server finally seems to be working better than ever and is finally back to normal.
Now I'm just going to update the backend blog software to the latest version (hopefully today), make sure it works, and then updates will begin again! And then so much more...
It's like... Jesus has returned... Or something.It's better. It's like... The return of Anakin Skywalker.
Except it's not Jesus...
He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!
He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

I'd say expect a new podcast any day now...I was wrong
Will Smith is NOT music.lol this was for the what do you think thread, I posted then wondered why it hadn't shown up....
As a person who never much cared for the podcast, I say whatever. I like to play videogames on the odd occasion, but I'm not very interested in industry news. I know a lot of you are, and that's fine, but at least we've still got a great community to keep us informed and entertained.

Not so long ago as I walked up from the waterfront back towards my home I spied a small bird in the grass on the verge of the footpath. It wasn't a canary, but the yellow on its chest certainly was, as they say in the interior decorating world, canary yellow. It was an attractive little thing with a moss green back, a white throat, black head and bib and that bright yellow chest and belly.
I slowly edged closer for a better look and was surprised it didn't fly off. In fact it seemed almost tame, so that I wondered if someone had lost a pet, but on further observation I decided something was not right, it seemed a bit shaky and uncoordinated. Perhaps it had a broken wing? If I left it there it would be prey to passing cats and dogs, and while such things are inevitable in nature, being red in tooth and claw, I couldn't just walk by and let it happen.
So I took my scarf (the morning's still were chilly at that time) in both hands and slowly brought the scarf closer to the bird, which sat, seemingly calm, until I had gathered it up in my hands, and I carried it home cradled against my chest. Twice on the 15 min walk home it gave a half-hearted protesting wiggle and peck, but the rest of the time stayed still, and allowed me to stroke its head and look into its little eye as it snuggled in the scarf, and I felt that protective and nurturing feeling that small, cute bodies engender in the female psyche, talking to it as one does to a young child.
I didn't feel its heart beat through the thickness of my scarf, but it would have been many times mine. The smaller the animal the faster the heart. This bird was canary sized, and their heart beats an incredible 1000 times a minute. Compare that to the sluggish human heart, with a resting rate ranging from 60-100 beats per minute. Mine runs even slower than normal – and my 40th year I had a full health check and the doctor was concerned to measure it at 50 beats per minute. I was clearly not an Olympic level athlete, who's well trained hearts push more blood per beat. However I was not worried as I recalled how my brother played with his slow heart rate, finding his doctor's reaction amusing, after he had sat in the waiting room, intensely relaxing and slowing his breathing and heart. The doctor had told him he should be dead. So my 50 beats sounded lively enough to me. Still, I was sent to a cardiologist "just in case" – no problem detected. In fact it was probably a good thing. And Real Vedic teachings concur: according to Vedic information, life span is measured in heart beats. One has an allotted number of heart beats in any one particular life time, and when they are spent, the body dies. Some yogis can slow their heart rates to barely perceptible levels and sit in meditation in mountain caves for incredible periods of time, apparently ageless.
So a slower heart rate may extend your life. (And indeed some western scientists are researching this currently.) There is no need to fear exercise driven speeding up your heart, however, like a factual Anse Bundren, the character in Faulkner's As I Lay Dying, who wouldn't work because he thought he'd die if he sweated. As the cardiologist told me, my low heart rate could in part be because of athletic activities during my past life (I refer to the past of this particular life… his expertise didn't give him insight into my previous incarnations!). Regular aerobic exercise, while raising your heart rate temporarily can lead to a lower heart rate over all.
When one considers how one's time is limited, whether one thinks in terms of heart beats, hours, days or years, one begins to appreciate that our time in this body is limited. And a limited resource is a valuable one. A million dollars cannot give you back one moment of time. Why does this matter? After all, once we realise that we are not this body, that we are eternal living entities who exist both before the birth of this body, and after the death of it, why should we be concerned about time… we have eternity? This is a fair question. But do we want to spend that eternity moving from body to body, suffering birth, disease, old age and death, sometimes in the body of a cockroach, sometimes in the body of a cat, sometimes in the body of bird, with no shelter when the cat has seen its canary yellow and pounced? Or do we want to use the time we have in this amazing human form, where we have the intellectual capacity to consider these issues, and the ability to use our understanding to advance spiritually to the point where we can leave the cycle of birth and death altogether and be re-situated in that realm where our eternity is fully expressed, timeless, deathless, without suffering and pain, and suffused with love and joy? All these point to the most difficult questions relating to spirituality. In regard to this, the answers to the above confusion is explained in a very simple and detailed manner, you can explore the real facts and more about ancient yoga wisdom given in the website of Jagad Guru.
The yogic teaching is that one should take this human form and use our time while here, to engage in devotional activities, activities that reawaken our unmotivated love for the Supreme and for all living entities, until we come to the point that that love overcomes our lust for things of this world. At that point we are no longer of the world, even if we are within it.
There are so many activities we engage in that are really basically capricious, with no real purpose or focus that changes at the whim of the desires of our body and mind. If one is interested in moving forward spiritually it is good to be aware in our activities. Are we using our time wisely? Are we ensuring we spend some time each day in activities which will bring us closer to God? We have duties to our family and society, we have duties related to the health of our body and mind, and these things are not capricious. But if we are honest we will almost certainly find that many of our activities are chasing will-o'the-wisps, which we never catch, running first left, then back, then right and left again.
There is much literature written in today's busy world about time management, and a major theme is the idea of trimming down what one does in order to achieve what one really wants. This is exactly what I am talking about. The additional requirement, above and beyond what is found in these writings, is a discussion on what one should really aim for, in order to achieve happiness. There is an assumption, despite the common discussion on the need for you the reader, to define what success means to you, that success is something to be found in the material world, be it money, weight loss, temporary material relationships, travel, or, the overriding theme in many of these books, career success. The Vedic teaching is that real success is only found in the eternal realm, and is the achievement, or reawakening, of the natural loving relationship between soul and Supreme Soul, and thus also, between soul and soul, as we realize our kinship as children of the One Supreme. In fact the material "successes" implicit in most time management manuals are all based on our natural need for love… career success implies approval and respect, and money, which provides for those we love, or at least buys some semblance of love and acceptance.
But back to the bird I rescued… it did not have the capacity to understand such things, however I gave it "food for thought" in the form of transcendental sacred mantras, which set even those souls in the bodies of animals, (and birds!, and even plants, though you have to shout loudly for them to hear in their sleepy stupor), on the path of liberation. As far as the bird's material well-being, we tried to feed it bird seed, nectar bearing flowers, fruit… no interest. Two of my friends who had a spare traveling cage came round, and between us we found out that many vets treat native birds for free. They took the bird to the vet, who explained its lack of interest in our offerings. It was Golden Whistler and ate mainly insects.
It was not hurt, just seemed to be in shock. It is not usually found in the suburbs, liking rain-forest and wooded areas, and sometimes visiting parks. We wondered if it had found shelter, in the wheel rim of a car, and been trapped inside when the car was driven off. Whatever happened, it had survived, with no broken limbs, but in a state of shock and that was how I found it.
After being monitored overnight at the vets it was taken to a bird shelter and later released back to the wild. And if we are so lucky, we are likewise rescued and taken back our natural habitat, the realm of the Supreme Person, and the abode of eternal love. If some kind soul picks us up and gives us transcendental food, transcendental mantras, we must not peck at their hand, and try and escape from their help, out of misguided fear, but accept their offering of love and assistance, their help in being returned to our eternal home.

The ELL-i Hackathon was my first experience with the ELL-i platform, and my second experience with an Arduino-based system. I come from a software development background, so in the morning, when the Hackathon started, I had no idea about what the icons of the diagram shown below tried to tell me or how that could be represented in a protoboard. Building this and making it work was my goal for this Hackathon.
The circuit diagram
I first walked around the tables and found a team that was speaking in English, so I joined them. They had different levels of experience in electronics and software, so that was good as we could support each other. I started by collecting the parts for the LED driver we wanted to build, and got an ELL-i board for me. I opened the development environment that I installed and tested beforehand and wrote my first program that I found around the internet to turn on a LED. Basically, a digital output of 3.3 Volts on one pin. I remember from my previous studies that someone told me that you should not connect a LED directly to the board because the LED has almost no resistance and can burn. So you should also have a resistor, and that was pretty much all I remembered about electronics.
I also knew that something like PWM existed and it was used to turn on and off the 3.3 Volts of the pin very fast to drive servos, motors or to dim LEDs. This was important to know for the LED driver, as it basically takes the voltage down by turning on and off a transistor very fast, that is like a light switch.
I found among the parts available for the participants a small LED light that was already wired to a resistor, so I guessed that was what I needed. I connected the LED to the corresponding pin, the other side to ground and loaded my program….. And nothing happened… Then I remembered another thing about LEDs: They have a direction, so the long leg must go on the side of the board pin. I wired it the other way around now, turned it on and finally I had a small LED on! I was very happy of this achievement and looked at my table companions that were already building complex circuits, so after loading a new program to blink the LED on and off and seeing that it also worked, I started building the circuit.
We had a tutorial in the morning that explained the icons of the diagrams and how the whole circuit worked, so I already had identified the pieces I needed and in what part of the diagram they had to go and what the whole idea and objective of it was. I started following the instructions to build the circuit part by part and test it, so I built the first part and it seemed to work. You should have checked it with an oscilloscope, but I never understood how to really use it, especially the portable one we had on our table, so I just checked with a voltmeter and using the small LED to see if I was getting the desired behaviour.
It was all working as expected, so now was the time for the truth. The ELL-i boards gets about 50 Volts from the ethernet port using power-over-ethernet. I was using only the power from USB of 5 volts to test that all was working, so now it was time to wire the 50 volts to my circuit and see if something burnt. While I was doing this, one of the protoboards that someone was using on my table started smoking, a resistor was blown. I was hoping that this would not happen to my circuit as I would have to start again. So, I plugged it in and… no smoke! that was good! And I put my voltmeter on the other side of the circuit and I was getting around 13 Volts, so the whole power switching thing was working! My 48 volts were down to almost 12V, that I needed to turn on the Power LED!
Now we were all hungry, so together we walked to have lunch and spoke of several things including ELL-i, Finland, other electronics projects and what each one had as a background. This was a nice break to reload energy and get to know better the people I was working with.

Congratulations to Lynsey from Calgary for July's winning #MyUrbanBarn submission – with her gorgeous, rustic-contemporary, dining area. Here's what Lynsey had to say about her space and her inspiration:
1. Tell us a little bit about yourself and your space
I am a wife and mama living in Calgary. We recently moved into our new home and I have enjoyed making it our own. This dining area is a breezy open space that flows into our living room and open kitchen. The space was large and I really wanted an oversized rustic dining table that we could surround with great food, wine and friends; the Chateau reclaimed pinewood was perfect in a rustic silver grey finish. I selected the Amelia chair, the chateau wooden bench and chair and the grey fabric tufted ferguson bench and chair. I like to rearrange the seating to change things up and to create different looks.
2. Describe your decorating style
I would say my decorating style is contemporary rustic. I love clean lines and airy modern colour pallets with a minimalist approach. And I also love mixing in natural woods that are timeworn and distressed; finished in a natural hue.
3. Tell us about your favourite item and why you love it
My favourite item would be the grey ferguson fabric bench. The back on the bench is a little unexpected and I also love it because I was able to capture an adorable Christmas morning picture of our two boys cozied up on it together in their matching Christmas jams.
Featured Urban Barn products:
- Chateau Extension Dining Table
- Chateau Bench
- Chateau Dining Chair
- Amelia Dining Chair – Grey
- Ferguson Bench – Grey
- Ferguson Dining Chair – Grey

Saving the Sullivan
Labels: Louis Sullivan, News and Events, Presentation
Rogers Krajnak Architects recently presented a preview of the proposed design for the restoration of the Louis Sullivan Building of Newark, a national landmark originally designed in 1914 by noted American Architect, Louis H. Sullivan. Peter Krajnak provided an overview of Sullivan's career, the 102-year history of the Louis Sullivan Building of Newark, an explanation of the design process, and a flythrough of RKA's 3D computer model of the project. The project will preserve the building's historic significance while transforming the former bank building into a future Visitors Center for Licking County. The presentation to a gathering of invited guests was held on the stage of the historic Midland Theatre in downtown Newark, Ohio.

GULFPORT, MS (WLOX) - Harrison County Coroner Gary Hargrove said Melanie Nestle, 40, of Gulfport is the woman, who was killed after she was hit by a train in her vehicle Sunday shortly before 8 p.m.
Hargrove said she was located only a block away from her home at the tracks on 33rd Avenue in Gulfport.
Nestle's vehicle reportedly got stuck on the trucks. She called her husband for help. When he arrived he started banging on her window as a train headed in their direction, Hargrove said.
Just as her husband attempted to pull her out, the train hit her vehicle.
Hargrove said no one knows whether she heard the train coming.
Lt. Leslee Curry with Gulfport police said a crash investigation is underway and no passengers were in the vehicle. No other injuries were reported.

While there are tons of things job seekers can do to brand themselves online using LinkedIn, blogs and other social media, in the end, some of the most powerful and impactful personal branding takes place in your in-person interactions with others.
I reached out to fellow job seekers and career experts for effective offline and in-person personal branding tips that could help you distinguish yourself to your chosen and targeted audience of employers and network contacts, and here are five top tips that I have compiled to share with you today:
It's true. How you look and present yourself is the first thing people notice. Things to consider: Are your clothes stained? Ironed? Too big, too small? Do your teeth need whitening? Are your nails kept and clean? Has your make-up been updated recently? Is your personal hygiene in order? Do your shoes need a polish? Are your eyebrows plucked/managed (often men have unruly nose and eyebrow hair and don't realize it)? All of these personal grooming tips are not designed to make you "perfect" but merely to make you the best you can be. It only takes once to make a bad impression so make it good! - Amy Swift,SmartyPeople.com
Take into careful consideration what others see. Listen to descriptive comment. Recall the lifetime of reactions verbalized by friends, family, mentors and co-workers. Release the feeling of praise or criticism that may be attached to these descriptions. These are the 'public' responses to your exterior identity. They are working for you when you walk in the door - acknowledge these perceptions, first to yourself and then to those you are meeting. Those habits create a sense of self-awareness, self-acceptance and ease. Naming the perceptions others have of you also has another almost magical effect: others will feel agreed with, creating the sense of YES in the room that any experienced business-person will tell you is the key to successful interaction and desired outcome. - Sam Christensen, SamChristensen.com
I recommend that that my clients recognize something about their voice or body language that is special and positive and make sure they use it in their interview. For one client it was her warm voice, for another it was his laugh, another his warm and strong handshake, one clients voice sounded so authentically enthusiastic, another came into the room with an energetic bounce, ... the list goes on. This helps the job interviewee feel special and it creates a nonverbal memory of interviewee in the interviewers brain. It seems small, but my client's says it helps them feel more confident. Everyone is special. I also recommend they put some great professionally done photos on a website, face book etc as whatever old photos may indirectly brand them negatively and they need to try to get great professional photos at the top of the search engines, under their name. Even someone that has their same name, say john blue but is not them and has a bad photo can affect their branding when they are looking for a job. - Patti Wood, PattiWood.net
From your resume through to your interview outfit, pick a color and/symbol that defines you and use it as part of your brand. The idea is to use a power color, for example red, and apply it to all your dealings with a prospective employer. Pick a symbol in your color that you can use on your correspondence. A red dot, a red square, etc next to your contact details is sufficient. You don't need to hire a branding firm, any geometric recognizable symbol will do. The simpler, the better. All follow up or confirming e-mails prior to your actual interview, as well as your business cards, should carry through with this color and symbol or brand. Use it as part of your signature. When you arrive at the interview, make this color part of your interview outfit. It can be a red tie, red career bag, red glasses, red scarf, red shoes, etc. A personal color will help you brand yourself if you use the color consistently. - Marsha Hallet, SweaterArt.com
A great pitch: Ask most people who they are and what they do and you get familiar junk or babble. You need a strong, declarative statement that's memorable and lets people know exactly how you are unique and can solve someone else's problems. Example of a bad pitch: I'm a career coach. Example of a great pitch: I help job seekers get the right job faster, and for more money, by teaching them proprietary techniques they won't learn anywhere else. - Mitchell York, FiveoClockClub.com

Political analyst Karima Brown says the numbers between the two frontrunners, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma and Cyril Ramaphosa, are close as the the provinces are finalising nominating their preferred candidate.
Reports suggest provinces are working behind the scenes to ensure an uncontested battle between the two front runners.
However, Brown says it is not clear how unity within the ANC will be achieved.

The key question that one has to ask on this unity matter is that who will be President? Will Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma be President, will she serve under Cyril Ramaphosa and will the reverse be true?— Karima Brown, political analyst and host of the Karima Brown Show
How one goes into discussions around unity, it's hard to tell.— Karima Brown, political analyst and host of the Karima Brown Show
It is a very tight, dicey game that they are playing...— Karima Brown, Political analyst
Brown says it is also hard to tell what kind of ANC is going to emerge after the conference and whether the two factions will be able to co-exist.

To celebrate Chelsea FC's new sponsorship from Nike, Jelly's James Dawe was 1 of 7 of artists chosen by Nike Amsterdam to create busts of football shirts, directed and commissioned by Studio Makgill.
The brief was to customise the bust based on a Chelsea FC legend, allocated based on the artists' country of origin, to feature in the Chelsea FC Megastore, located outside Stamford Bridge Stadium. The bust had to include the player's surname, number, and the artists were limited to a strict colour palette of red, white, blue and black. James was given Ron "Chopper" Harris, and created this wonderfully vibrant bust which includes various references to Ron himself.
"The typographic work is a modification of the bold typeface used on the cover of the Chelsea programme during the 1970's, the period when Harris was captaining Chelsea.
Harris's nickname was 'Chopper' due to his tough tackling and committed approach. Therefore I have used a graphic novel style to chop up the number 3 and add concrete cracks to the bust.
The detail to the right of the '3' is of a tower block from Hackney, the borough where myself and Harris both grew up. And the shards of red white and blue represent a deconstructed Union Jack flag, hinting at our British heritage."
"I always like to combine the old with the new. The chequered blue and white flags are part of Chelsea's tradition flowing around a dynamic composition.
The portrait of Harris gazing over the letters is adapted from his early playing career, steely eyed and focussed. This and the overall artwork has a street-art/comic book style treatment to enhance the hero aspect of this legend player, and bring it in line with a younger demographic."
UK artists were also given a second brief to hand paint a pillar in the Chelsea x Nike megastore. This piece was much more abstract, and again they were limited to the use of a few colours.
"Using the key Chelsea colours and bauhaus shapes as a starting point I wanted to suggest movement and energy, reflecting Chelsea's playing style. The finer fanned lines are then from an aerial view of Chelsea's new stadium plans."
"The abstract fluid marks mix with clean graphic shapes to show the freedom and structure found in football. There is also considered white space, time and space being an important part of the game."

Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia is undoing a strategy that had a unified ad-sales group selling across its magazines for the past two and a half years.
The company named Peter Medwid senior VP and publisher of the flagship Martha Stewart Living on Wednesday. It is the title's first dedicated publisher since August 2008, when Sally Preston was promoted to group publisher in charge of a new publishing ad-sales group representing all company titles.
Ms. Preston left in November, the same month that the company hired publishing veteran Joe Lagani for the newly created position of chief revenue officer. (Ms. Preston is now publisher at Time Inc.'s Real Simple.)
Mr. Medwid comes from Time Inc., where he was VP and publisher of Sunset and Coastal Living. He was previously associate publisher at Time Inc.'s People and Hearst's Cosmopolitan.
Ad pages at Martha Stewart Living fell 6.2% last year, while ad pages across magazines as a whole declined 3.1%, according to the Publishers Information Bureau. Ad pages at Everyday Food dropped 21.2%, undermined in part by the 17% crater in food ad pages; ad pages at Whole Living slipped 2.8%.
Last month, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia said it had sold a 17% stake in the company to JC Penney Co.for $38.5 million in a deal that put mini Martha Stewart stores in the retail chain's outlets across the country.
Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia also promoted Christina Cranley on Wednesday to senior VP and publisher of Everyday Food and Whole Living. She had been VP-integrated sales.
Martha Stewart Weddings has been an exception to the cross-title sales approach: Amy Wilkins has continued as publisher there since 2007.

Young hero Aadi is currently wrapping up the dubbing of his upcoming family entertainer, Chuttalabbayi. The film is slated for a June release and a majority of the talkie part has been completed already. Aadi has been going through a rough patch, with his last few films failing to click at box-office, and he is determined to bounce back with vengeance thorough Chuttalabbayi.
For Chuttalabbayi, Aadi roped in the comedy entertainers' specialist Veerabhadram Chowdary to direct the film and also got SS Thaman as the music director. Chuttalabbayi has Malayali beauty Namita Pramod playing the female lead. Venkat Talari and Ram Talluri are producing the film.

Terms of Service and Rules
Last Revised February 16, 2016
GENERAL RULES PHILOSOPHY: Before reading this, please read the Terms of Use agreement, which covers some things that are not covered here.
How We Handle Things: We do not search the forums looking for problems. We depend on the members to report problem posts via the reported posts function in our software. Please remember that our moderators are musicians, just like you, and that they are unpaid volunteers. A moderator may simply delete a post or might send you a notice/warning to remind you of the rules. If a post is really over the line in our opinion, or if we notice that you have to be reminded too often about our rules, you may be suspended or banned, depending on the circumstances. Please don't report posts that don't break our rules. Just because you don't like what was written isn't a reason to report the post. Such reports should only be made when a rule here is broken.
Basic Philosophy: From a moderation standpoint, there are no wrong viewpoints and the moderator may even agree with your viewpoint, but may need to take a moderating action because the post is written in a manner that violates the rules.
1. Don't Act Like a Jerk. Antagonizing other members or resorting to personal attacks is the most common reason for moderators to take action. Say what you need to say without insulting someone else. Following someone from thread to thread to argue with them or insult them is not allowed. Private Messages or emails are private but the same "antagonizing" rule applies. Posting someone's PM, email or personal information without expressed written permission is not allowed.
2. No bashing of other musicians. We are a community of musicians and slamming other musicians is truly poor taste. A lot of them are or have been members of this forum.
3. Not Allowed. Bigoted remarks, religious or political comments, trademark violations and copyright violations are not allowed. Photos and posts must be safe for work and for people as young as 13 years old. You may not offer to sell or promote any item that violates a trademark, even if you note that it is a replica, clone, copy or fake. This is illegal. We allow discussion of guns as objects, but discussion about their appropriate role in society is banned because of the political nature of that discussion.
4. No Spam. Posts for buying, trading or selling are only allowed in the emporiums. You must be a Supporting Member to post ads in our emporiums. Soliciting members via unsolicited Private Message or email is spam. Spam in signatures is still spam. If it's not music gear, it's spam. "Price check" posts that look too much like an ad will be deleted and treated as spam.
5. Only one user account per member. Multiple User IDs are not allowed and will convert a temporary suspension into a permanent ban if you open a new user account while under suspension. If you want to change your user name you need to contact an administrator to do that for you.
6. If you feel the need to mention a bad business dealing you've had with a company or individual, keep it professional. Do not get personal and don't attack the people involved, just describe the situation factually. Personal attacks and insults can draw infractions, even if you're right. We cannot verify claims of a bad business deal and such posts are the sole responsibility of the author.
7. Rules for Businesses. We encourage participation by businesses in answering member questions but are strict about spamming. Feel free to respond to direct questions about your products but please do not post about your products unless answering a direct question. Mentioning your products when not directly responding to a question about YOUR products is considered spamming. Mentioning prices or soliciting purchases in any way is considered spamming if outside of the emporiums. The only exception is that we allow businesses to post "tour box" (free try out) threads in regular topic areas because this is a benefit to members as long as there is no requirement to purchase.
a) We ask that you include your affiliation in your signature, which can include a link to your business website. This helps other members put some context to what you write. However, please do not list the products you sell in your signature and we do not allow signatures or posts to read like an ad. Keep font sizes reasonable!
b) Businesses are allowed to post ads ONLY in our Commercial emporiums. Ads must be for specific items and must include a price. If you want to post things like having a sale or mentioning new product lines you are making or carrying, or want to let people know that there is a waiting list, such posts should be done in the Builders & Retailers forum area, not in the emporiums. Please read the Emporium rules for additional information.
c) We do not allow businesses to post about their products on threads about competing products or to criticize, compare or make negative comments about competitors.
8. Do not argue with moderators. Moderators are volunteers who are musicians, just like you, and have a tough job. Please do not argue with them.
9. Legal threats. If you threaten or insinuate legal action against TGP or its staff, your time on TGP is over.
10. Emporium rules. There is a separate set of rules for the emporiums that are on each emporium area (sticky thread). Read them!
11. We don't delete user accounts. If you get booted or are unhappy with us, don't ask us to delete your account or posts. You joined and posted on your own and we see no reason to have to spend time deleting things just because you're angry.
SUMMARY: Your membership to TGP is a privilege, not a right. If you don't agree with the rules, you should find a discussion site that better meets your expectations. Although we value every member and want you to be here, if we feel that your membership hurts the experience for others, we may choose to suspend or ban you. We reserve the right to suspend or ban any member for any reason, not limited to the above rules.

(Reuters) - World number six Rory McIlroy made a "sloppy" start to the Irish Open on Thursday, blaming his short game after slumping to a three-over-par 74 in perfect conditions in the first round at the Fota Island Resort in County Cork.
The pre-tournament favorite was 10 shots adrift of early leader Mikko Ilonen after the Finn reeled off five birdies in his last seven holes to fire a course record 64.
McIlroy struggled at his home tournament a day after announcing he would play for Ireland at the 2016 Olympics in Brazil, carding six bogeys and three birdies.
The twice major winner, who was joint 23rd at the U.S. Open on Sunday, is this week looking to move to the top of the Race to Dubai money list and back into the top five of the world rankings.
"I drove the ball great and got in the positions that you need to but I short-sided myself a couple of times, hit a couple of loose shots with my wedges and could not get a putt to drop," McIlroy told reporters.
"I was pretty sloppy with the scoring clubs so I might head to the range this afternoon to work on those. I need to do better tomorrow to be here for the weekend."

I drove cab in an inner city neighborhood over 20 years ago. One phrase I remember was common, "You can't teach nobody nothin."
Alf, please accept my condolences on the loss of your cousin this past week. As the eldest of our cousins (Mom's side) this brings to mind the loss of a male cousin 7 years ago, who was in his middle fifties. All of our parents are gone, so I am the eldest person alive from Mom's side. Hmmm. Also, may I take this time to offer comfort in light of learning about your brother. Even after many years have passed, the loss of loved ones lingers. May God's grace continue to uphold/heal you/your family.
LOVE the quote from Paul: "You can't teach nobody nothin'". Quite an astute view from his fare all those years ago. If you don't want to know somethin', that about sums up the results. In Romans 1, the Apostle Paul clearly made that attitude clear. (I'm reminded of the words spoken to King Saul when Samuel came to him after disobeying The LORD regarding not having destroyed all the Amalakites/stuff: "For rebellion is as the sin of withcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry." Saul's punishment was loss of the throne: "Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He has also rejected you from being king." 1Samuel 15:23)
For those of us who have been shown The Truth, and have embraced it, Halleluyah! We have so much for which to look forward now and into eternity. While we go through the "groaning" spoken about in Romans 8, we do have The Comforter to Help us "through it to it". Those who chose to "rebelliously and stubbornly" refuse the facts/ the truth have nothing good for which to look forward. Sad, but true/factual. ("But for the GRACE of GOD there go I" also comes to mind. Ah, teachable moments;)
Thanking our Gracious and Good God for His "Amazing Grace" now and forever, Amen!!!
Thank you, Alf, for your always thoughtful/thought-provoking messages. Shalom!
BTW: Christians fighting Jews - isn't that an oxymoron-like situation? Or suicide/fratricide? Jesus was a Jew...don't these folks see that? Having been raised Catholic, I saw no problem in Jesus being a Jew, and hello!, the First "Christian" - The Bridge between Jews/Gentiles, The Heavenly Father and sinful mankind. Romans 9-11 speaks of the unity between us all (Jews/Gentiles/Christians) "in Christ". Paul says there is "no Jew, no Gentile..." in Christ. Certainly, those Jews who have not yet come to Christ for salvation, remain outside The Body of Christ, but still need our prayerful concern, not scorn nor castigation. Carnal ignorance? Fallen "helpers"/nature? You name it, it's not of God, that's for sure. One thing that IS for sure, is that The Godhead Alone knows "the truth, the whole truth" about each one of us down here. Fallen man may try his hand at "justice", but without "the whole Truth", there is only One Righteous Judge, and a certain day of reckoning for us all when that day comes. Mercy, Lord, how we need Your mercy...

Found under a pile of stuff on Troy Ahlstrom's desk…
OK, so maybe paper airplanes, coloring, or back-office trash can basketball come to mind as your preferred use for an MGMA report. But, hey, there's a lot to be seen and understood in this panoply of inpatient practices. In particular, there are analysis tools that might just help you get more information out of the darned thing!
The electronic versions of the MGMA report provide analysis and benchmarking tools that are worth one's investigation. I'd like to highlight one of these tools today as I attempt to use the survey tools to answer the question, "How productive am I relative to my Hospitalist peers?"
Let's take a look at the 2010 MGMA Physician Compensation and Production Survey "Physician Pay to Production Plotter" into which I've honed the sample to a representative data set for four physicians in a hospitalist practice. (Also see the combined SHM-MGMA 2010 State of Hospital Medicine Report which provides this information at a significant discount for SHM members.)
I've selected a representative section of hospitalist practice based on size of practice, but one can also hone into certain geographic areas, medical revenue or setting of practice based on population. Data for various physicians for work RVUs and compensation is then entered for comparison. This generates a scatter plot, best fit line for mean with standard deviations above and below the mean, and all of the physician data points that makes up the sample. (As a disclaimer, let me mention that the example physician data is fictitious.)
In this case, I'd highlight Doc 1 as a highly productive physician who is well compensated for her productivity. Meanwhile Doc 4 also appears to be within the norm for compensation for his lower productivity level. Both physicians are operating near the compensation/productivity mean which likely represents a "zone of efficiency" for workload and compensation among hospitalists. Doc 2 is doing well on compensation, but exhibits lower productivity for that compensation. It's possible that this represents local market phenomena or that the physician is relatively underutilized. Maybe this physician performs a good deal of leadership or management work for a practice, such that his/her wRVU productivity is lowered relative to compensation. Meanwhile, Doc 3 is likely in a range of high productivity relative to compensation which might mean that the physician is relatively overburdened or undercompensated relative to his peers. It might also represent a local market effect where hospitalists are potentially paid less because the market is saturated with these providers.
Obviously, one can plot themselves versus the MGMA data as a self-analysis. But beware, as one needs to consider what aspects of a compensation plan differ from the reported measures to MGMA as well as local market pressures and practice expectations. This is still a scatter plot of individuals, and each individual has a practice compensation structure directed at its own hospitalist market.
More fun with SHM-MGMA data next week… Trendlines and marginal returns for everyone!
