BackgroundThe readings examined cases where journalism has been compromised by those that choose to alter images using Photoshop and other editing tools. They also discussed whether showing a violent or controversial image can straddle the line of being in the public's best interest or harmful to not only those involved, but those that could be disturbed.
In the past, violent images have been been used to cover big stories and tragedies. In addition, as the digital age makes it easier to fabricate and edit images it adds public in journalism.
Honesty is Policy
Photoshopped photographs can deter the audience away from the original purpose of the story. In 1994, Time Magazine published a cover of O.J. Simpson reflecting him in a dark and almost evil form. This type of photo editing was created for dramatics to appeal Time audiences, however it fails to reflect a true image of Simpson. Seeking the truth and creating honest content essential to basic journalism ethics codes. It is okay to evoke emotion within the audience, but it can be done in an honest way. The key to honest journalism is to be honest when no one is looking.
Photoshop is Harmful
Social media and web based sources have placed us in a culture where people need their news and media in the palm of their hand. In the days where newspapers were the primary medium of getting information it was fairly easy to create an ethics code. According to Sherry Ricchiardi's "Distorted Picture" news organizations are expressing the need for a Photoshop ethics codes. This is exceptionally challenging because according to Ricchiardi's article it is difficult to "…define the correct use of tonal differences--lightening and darkening aspects of a picture in a way that accurately reflect what the photographers saw."
News organizations and photographers have freely utilized the motto: "Ask for an inch, take a mile." Most of these journalists who violate ethics codes create phony images because they have gotten away with it prior to getting caught. Not only has news organizations let it slip through the cracks, but ad campaigns and photos generated by companies have the potential to do harm to the community. Today's ad campaigns focus on being one type of woman with one type of body type. These campaigns, using Photoshop and displaying women in body types the models do not even have is harmful to the teenage community and women in general. This forces young people to be convinced that the images that they see is their reality, and if they do not possess that certain image it is invalid. Recently, some companies, such as Seventeen Magazine mentioned in "Who Can Improve on Nature? Magazine Editors" has pledged to not distort or Photoshop images of women in the magazine. In 2014, Aerie, a lingerie store owned by American Eagle have pledged to publish their ads without retouching photos.
This is not to say that Photoshopping is completely harmful to the audiences it reaches, however when people are altered as a emotional appeal it is dishonest. Add in all the green trees and perfect blue water you want to create beautiful a beautiful image, but stay away from the people. Journalism was created to inform the people, not distort and portray false images of them.

These are the 10 most dangerous roads in the world
If you thought dangerous roads were just stretches of potholes to give you a bump on your head, then think again.There are far worse roads around the world,which when negotiated, will make your hair stand on end. As common highways for those living in the vicinity, you should consider yourself lucky never needing to drive down one. This list of 10 most dangerous roads around the world, pose a real challenge to any driver, testing both courage and determination. Passing through treacherous mountain gorges, sharp U-turns and nerve racking hairpin bends, some of them even pass through active war zones. A helmet is well advised to prevent a stray bullet in the head.
1 Rohtang Pass, India
Rohtang! The word itself is daunting enough. Would you consider driving through a road whose name means "Pile of corpses"!
Situated in the eastern Himalaya at an elevation of 4000 meters, the Rohtang Pass stretches from Kullu to the Lahaul and Spiti valley. It is open to traffic for just 7 months a year from May after the snow melts to November.The pass is notorious for its unpredictable weather, regular snowstorms, mudslides and avalanches. Its worst accident was marked in 2010 when a raging snowstorm stranded almost 300 tourists.

Oh yes, its so evil of me to take joy from someone being fired from their job especially as I have abused their fame and infamy to drive traffic to my blog, but, but...
But nothing!
For all her evil doings including spitting on fellow Flavor of Love contestant New York's face, no one should be happy that Pumkin was fired from her job as a substitute teacher in Bakersfield.
The full report from NBC tv4 reads:
Brooke Thompson, 26, appeared on VH1's "Flavor of Love" show, which chose a girlfriend out of several contestants for rapper Flava Flav. At one point during the show, Thompson spit in the face of another contestant. She later said the spit was prompted by a suggestion from the show's producers.
The district said Thompson was fired because her appearance on the show was too distracting to students.
"We had kids that were sticking their heads in the door just to sneak a look at her and that kind of craziness was just disruptive to the learning process," district spokesman John Tevis said.
Thompson complained that the firing was unfair, but she also said her long-term goals are in entertainment and not education
That's just foul. Sorry Pumkin I really feel for you.
Incidentally there are images and video from the NBC affiliate as well
Images and Video
Let's see what's new in the Flavor of Love world...
VH-1 are beginning to advertise the Reunion Show but if you are still interested in unedited uncensored video of the New York vs Pumkin catfight click on the link you just passed by.
On her blog Pumkin neglects to mention her dismissal -who can blame her- but she does take the time to point out that the My Space accounts of Goldie and Hoopz are not genuine. Read it on Pumkin's My Space for yourself.
Finally if you want to sign up for the Tiffany Matthews aka New York, fan club I can help you out. On the Fan Club's website there is information galore including the fact that Pumkin spitting in New York's face was voted number one on the countdown of the Top twenty Celebreality moments of all time.
The fact that she celebrates that just about confirms to me that this girl is not the real New York, but I am just here to give you info so here is the link for Tiffany's Premiere Fan Club.
That's it for me, thanks for reading. Tomorrow or later today I will add at least twenty Hoopz pics so return when you can.
Update: The Hoopz pictures were removed with good reason but you can view them in the Hoops picture gallery if you choose.

Chuck Berry: Hail! Hail! Rock 'n Roll
Sometimes one song is all it takes. If that one song is good enough, it becomes your sound. And if that sound is good enough, it becomes your career; maybe a lot of people's careers. Look at Johnny Cash. Every song he recorded sounded like a Johnny Cash song, whether it was written by him or not. Or the Ramones. Every Ramones song sounded pretty much like every other Ramones song, but that was okay because it was such a good song. And then a lot of other people made Ramones songs too.
So too Chuck Berry who passed away yesterday aged 90. Listen to any Chuck Berry song, and it's unquestionably a Chuck Berry song. I'm not a musician, just a music fan, but even someone has talentless as me can spot that certain something about his work. Something that makes it special, unique, timeless. Did Berry create rock 'n' roll? I suspect that debate will never be settled, but no one can deny that rock 'n' roll would never have been the way it was without him. His passing is the passing of a titan, but he left us with songs that will never be forgotten.


text: All good times must come to an end. This week I have begun to pack up my classroom. sad face. sad face. sad face. At the end of the school year, I am leaving the school I am currently at. My husband and I both grew up in the same hometown, and both of our families still live in the area. When we first married four years ago, we moved away from our hometown for my husbands job. Three hours away makes it a nuisance to drive back for every birthday party, anniversary party, and family event. So, when my husband got a job offer in our hometown, we put our house on the market and packed our bags. But, now, I am on the dreaded job hunt. I know its early. Its only April. I just highly dislike the job hunt. If I could, I would pick up my current school and move it to my hometown. I love my school. the students. the teachers. everything about it, but all good things must come to an end. What about you? Have you changed schools at all? What made the process easier?

Lewis Hamilton made a disappointing start to his reign as Formula Ones youngest world champion with a sluggish performance in Fridays practice sessions for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.
The 24-year-old Britons gloomy prediction that his McLaren car would be well off the pace at the start of the new season instantly proved correct.
On the Albert Park track where he launched his championship success 12 months ago,Hamilton struggled to 16th place in the first practice for Sundays race,then 18th in the second.
Were not in a place where we want to be but were working extremely hard,as hard as we can, the driver told a news conference.
Weve got a steep,very tough challenge ahead of us but if any team can do it,I believe my team can. Weve just got to remain positive and keep pushing.
The first signs that McLaren would be slower than their main rivals at the start of this season emerged during winter testing in Spain.

Demonstrating Fiscal Responsibility Gov Palin & Senate Pass Reduced Capital Budget
Wednesday, April 22, 2009
In an unusual reversal of past legislative practice, the recently completed session saw the Legislature and the governor compete to cut projects from the state's capital budget.
The capital budget typically grows while moving through the process, as legislators add support for items relative to their districts.
This year, even as the state's financial picture got brighter, the cuts got deeper. Among the casualties to Juneau was $9.5 million for renovations to the Johnson Youth Center, and the chance at $150 million in federal matching money.
Sen. Stedman, R-Sitka, said the Legislature had no choice, given the budget Governor Palin submitted and the declining price of oil.
"The capital budget was large, a couple of billion dollars, and quite frankly the state couldn't afford it," he said.
The budget was about $2.3 billion. By the time it got through Governor Palin and Senate Finance Committee, it was a half billion dollars lighter.

I came across these the other day on craftgawker. They are so cool, and would you believe that they are made from strips of paper and glue? I'm tempted to try these out, but think that I need to wait until I have more time on my hands.

When I was 15 years old I was engaged in a heated argument with my family, this happened frequently at family gatherings but this time I had reached a level of despair so heavy that I blurted out the real reason for my anger. I screamed to all that could hear that my brother had raped me for several years, my brother and his wife immediately denied my allegations and my mother slapped me. I was called a liar, I was called insane, I was called a stupid crazy bitch and so on…
I fell into a deep depression that I could not see any way out of. I could not sleep, I was not able to think of anything else, I wanted to end my life. I found some pills in my mothers bathroom, turns out they were valium, I took a handful (about 20 or so) and went into my room with a glass of water. I stared at the pills for a long while, holding them in my hand, bringing them to my mouth several times but taking them back down to look at them over and over again. I was sobbing, I was telling myself that I don't matter, that nobody loves me or cares what happens to me. I told myself to just take the pills, go to sleep and never wake up and maybe then they would all be sorry. I wanted to stop my pain but most of all I wanted to hurt them. I took the pills. I laid down in my bed but I did not fall asleep right away, I got up to get more water to take more pills, I felt weird. My other brother, the one that didn't hurt me, could see that something was wrong with me, he knew what a high looked like. I felt very tired. I went back to bed.
I woke up in a hospital with something in my throat and someone yelling at me. I fell asleep. I woke up and was given some black stuff to drink, I threw up. I was admitted to a psychiatric facility for 30 days. After my time was up I went home convinced that I must never speak of this again, convinced that I am crazy.
Years go by and I am forced to accept my brother as my savior, my mother told me and everyone over and over that he was always there for me, that he took care of me when I was little and he loved me so much. I played along, what good would it do me to fight it. I still had bouts of anger and temper tantrums at family functions and other times. I lashed out at anyone that threatened me or my personal space in any way so I became tough to a point of being "crazy." I quickly learned that people that "love" you will hurt you and I had to live with that. Anytime someone called me crazy it set me off. I pushed people away, I can't love or be loved because love hurts too much. I associated sex with love and pain was love. I developed issues with trust and insecurities about myself, why would anyone want to be with me. I believe myself to be disgusting.
My brother had children, I thought it was fine. I thought nobody would do that to their own children and his wife knew so she would not let anything happen to them. In my mind, I thought it was just me that he hurt and he would not hurt others except deep down I knew at the very least that he had hurt one other but I did not see it so maybe I could be wrong. The kids seemed ok. I let it go.
After many years and failed relationships with men, family, friends, etc. I met someone, someone that I really cared about and felt connected to in a way I had never felt before. I craved the love of this man because it felt like he was meant to be for me. I wanted to be a better person because he was worth it. I sought help for my anger, insecurities and anxiety. I finally told a therapist my story, I felt good but I had to tell my husband. Something miraculous happened…he believed me and he offered his love and support. I did not know what to think, this was not what I expected. I expected him to leave and tell me that he can't even look at me least of all touch me ever again. This gave me strength, so much strength that I decided to say something to my mother again. We got into a volatile argument in which she lied to me and offered me nothing but denial and excuses. So I let it go, AGAIN…but the denial and lack of acknowledgement of my feelings continued to plague me. I cut all ties to my brother finally. I was able to reign in my anger for short periods of time but it would build up and I would blow at least once a year.
I started noticing signs of abuse in another family member, I saw in them the same anger, fear and insecurities and it was like looking in a mirror. This was enough to bring the memories back to full blown Technicolor. I called my mother, desperate for her help to stop this to check on them. She agreed and promised she would do that. When my mother called me to tell me that she confronted my brother about the abuse and she said he did not deny it I thought I had finally made progress. She told me she made sure that he had not harmed anyone else and I was relieved that in fact it was just me. I forgave my mother for her earlier denial and tried to repair our relationship. She continued in her fantasy world of the perfect family, telling me stories of him, praising him in my presence and telling me about the kids he had living with him and what a great person he is for helping these people in need. Telling anyone who would listen that "Tracy just doesn't get along with her brother" not that Tracy does not want to spend time with or hear about the man that raped and tortured her for years.
All of her promises it turns out…were a LIE. She never confronted anyone, she never checked on anyone and to top it off she was still in denial. Of course he is helping people that need a place to stay, they have what he needs…more children. She went so far as to invite another family with small children to vacation in his home. She can NOT be this oblivious. I felt sick! So sick that my anxiety went into overdrive and I started having anger episodes again, pushing away anyone that I could. It was time to make a choice and do something, I began therapy again and was diagnosed with PTSD. What? I thought that was a war vet sickness. Nope, turns out the key word is Trauma. I had to work on recovery and the first step is telling my story, getting it out, not hiding from it. I completely cut my mother out of my life, she made her choice and she will now have to live with that. She chose a pedophile over me, she protected him and punished me.
I began to write this blog for my own healing, not sharing it just writing but it was not enough. I had to tell others, I needed justice even if that only means he will be shamed. I began to hear from others he had molested and I started losing all capacity to heal, I became more angry and the guilt I felt overshadowed everything. It was my fault that he hurt so many others. I should have done something earlier, I should have made sure the others were protected myself. My shame is that I left it up to others and I am so sorry for that. I can not live with that feeling and it plagues me every day.
He did not feel any shame, in fact he called it all lies and called all of them to get them on his side. I don't want sides, I just want what's right, I just want justice and not just for me. I can't move on until I have justice of some kind. It's ruining my life because I can't get over this. I try so many different things to overcome my anxiety and depression but they are all just brief moments of happiness that fade quickly. I've tried every hobby I could, tried overworking myself to keep busy, buying news things for me and for others to hide in that moment and never allowing myself a moment of free thought. I'm going to lose the rest of my family, my husband and my life because I can't overcome this. I want him to pay for what he's done to my life and so many others. I want to start over, I want to have a happy marriage, a happy family and success for me and all of them. Maybe that's not going to happen for someone like me, maybe I'm unworthy.

Cheri Newman of Southington died last May inside a New Britain tattoo parlor when Patrick Walsh stabbed her at the base of her skull and turned the knife until the blade broke off in her head, court records state.
The brutal killing left Walsh's Skin Dance studio so splattered with blood that he called customers to cancel appointments and turned away employees while he cleaned up the gruesome scene, his arrest affidavit states. He later had several people help do what he called ``spring cleaning,'' wiping up blood and disposing of evidence, the papers in Hartford Superior Court state.

Training is going well, and it will be a little while before my next progress report, so I thought I would just yak about stuff in general.. stuff on my mind.. training etc... well stuff that irritates me.................
I really get annoyed with people... people that don't listen, people that use me, greedy people!
I don't know HOW MANY times someone has asked me to help them, asked advice, BEGGED... ah and I just give in. They take what I say, and some bugger off and that's me.. used and abused! And some don't bother to listen and go off to ask 10 more people until they hear what they want to hear... and when it doesn't work they COME BACK!! Ok now I put my foot down, I actually say NO. Basically... just go away!
I have always been a very generous person. If someone asks my help, I give it. If they want advice, I give it. I share my DVD's - invite people over to watch with me. I pass on articles and notes of interest. But somehow, on most instances, I am sorry! Hmmm once someone said to me "I will bring you a pile of DVD's and you can copy your whole collection for me". I mean... HUH!?? Of course I said no! This has been my entire dogging career researching, training, buying, learning etc etc, and I must tie up all the litte pieces that make up my training world and hand it to someone with a little bow around it? Not to mention the money I spent on the collection - like R10 000! And it won't even guarantee that anyone else will use it like I have... hmmm I was a little miffed at that to say the least!
And students.. I mostly HATE them. I know that sounds horrible but why ask me specifically to train stuff, and then they argue with me before you have tried it? The students that are shown and spoonfed every single baby step but that skip to the last step because that is what they want the dog to do... the students that are fed foundation work that is coming out their ears, but that just want to run courses... the students that don't bother to do anything at home and want it all in a lump sum in class.... the students that don't progress.. the students that come to class to chitchat and socialise before any work is done.. ooh ooh the students that never have a plan of WHAT to train!!!
...and people that SAY they will train but don't - I have NO time for you! You get all the equipment and go all out telling people that you do Agility, and you join training schools/ clubs/ groups... but you don't train..... grrr
And the JUDGES...... hehe don't get offended now!
TEST the dogs appropriately for their grades! I dont want to train my heart out and get a rinky dink little course, man! Oh, a TIP: removing jumps from higher grades doesn't make it easier for the baby grades!!!! Contacts: pleez don't tell me that my dog got the contact if she releases herself. I don't care. I will release my dog, and if she releases herself I will put her back. DEAL with it!
Oh YES.. and my PET hate.. the person that watches me cock up on a course and says WELL DONE when I win because everyone was more crappy than me! And not to forget the elimination on an otherwize stunning round, where I am thrilled at my dogs attitude, speed and contacts, only to have someone tell me something like "oh well, better round next time!" AARGH
I have subscribed to magazines, read websites and blogs, researched, bought books... learnt techniques and training methods to get where I am today. I don't mind *helping*, but GEEZ PEOPLE, do some work of your own too!!
OK now I can sleep :)
I hate dumb people that have small dogs that think that the dogs are dumb too! Or that they run slower on a course because they have shorter legs..... OH LORD!

A number of solid materials are known to undergo transformation to other 'more stable' phases. Frequently, these transformations proceed through a solution phase with which each of the solid phases attempts to be in equilibrium. The analysis of these transformations is presented in terms of the formalism of two population balances. Kinetic and thermodynamic explanations are provided for these transformations. It is demonstrated that this population-balance approach allows one to include a nucleation step for either phase, and to generate model simulations for a multitude of vessel geometries. In addition, a postulate is set forth to explain why, in some cases, the more stable phase evolves apparently without the appearance of the precursor 'metastable' phase. Lastly, we show that a recent analysis is a special case of this more formal treatment.

Really, it was a hoot. It's funny how quiet conversation can be when everyone's pouring into what they're doing. That's the funny thing about community, especially an artistic one. When everyone is comfortable with each other, conversation isn't a necessity, just a great part of what's going on. And there's something inexpressible about being around a group of friends all encouraging each other and giving great input on what kind of art you're working on.
Which brings me to this: I wrote a very short story, about two and a half pages, that was a bit of an aesthetic exercise. So here's a paragraph, actually my favorite paragraph. Please, read it, and let me know what you think. I'd love to send the whole story to you if you're interested. It's very short.
"The silence in the reddening light had a weight to it; a feel of importance, a touch of necessity. The smallest of breezes touched his cheeks and the leaves of the tree above him, allowing the branches to whisper in the sunset."
So it's rough, it's out of context, but now it's out there. Let me know what you think, if you get the chance!

The entire DVD set is held in a dossier file box, with a faux-leather navy blue exterior graced with an embossed silver-foil presidential seal and a magnet-sealing flap that neatly closes the lid with no visible latches or clasps. The 45 DVDs are held in seven individually tabbed and numbered fold-out files (one for each complete season) with a pocket for each DVD and West Wing cast members pictured on each fold-out file. (In addition, the DVDs themselves are labeled with a photo of the entire primary cast.) And while the audio commentaries, behind-the-scenes featurettes, gag reels, and other DVD extras remain the same from the previous individual-season DVD sets, the glossy, lavishly illustrated episode guide is exclusive to this set, and it's a convenient one-stop source for specific episode information. Also exclusive to this set is Aaron Sorkin's Emmy-nominated teleplay for the pilot episode, along with a new foreword by Sorkin detailing the genesis of the series from concept to casting. You can bet that Sorkin and his West Wing colleagues are pleased with the overall presentation of this full-series collection; it's durable, impressively stately without being ostentatious (like President Jed Bartlet himself), and guaranteed to look great on any bookshelf. --Jeff Shannon

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Secondly, this product is incredible. Over the summer I managed to watch the entire series, and so I had started to buy the DVDs, starting with season 1. Since that's all I had, when the complete series came on sale at $75, I couldn't resist. There are seven seasons spread over forty five discs in all. You get the screenplay for the pilot episode, and an episode guide, and of course the discs for all seven seasons. There doesn't seem to be any extra special features than what are already on the previous release, so if you're buying this to replace the 7 seasons in other format, it's probably not worth the money. All of the discs are packaged into thin cardboard folders, one for each season, so that everything fits into the box. Faux-leather is wishing a little too much, but the box is a sturdy paper covered cardboard with a magnet closure and looks great.
Now, onto the issues other reviewers have encountered.
When I received the series, the first thing I did was open it and make sure I had all the discs and check for scratches. Once that was done, I spent a weekend playing all 45 discs. Tedious? Very, although I simply skipped through by chapter to make sure the audio and visual played, then continued on. But I surmised that all of my discs were playable, and only 3 out of the 45 had scratches. Yes the paper envelopes hold them closely, and scratches are pretty probably because of that, but a few small scratches aren't cause for alarm, and people forget you can fill scratches and it's generally still playable. If you take them out carefully, and make sure dust/sand don't get into the envelopes, I can't see this being a problem.
I've also read a few reviews about missing discs, blank discs, missing other things, and can only assume someone was buying them from a 3rd party seller who wasn't honest, but selling on the cheap. Always read those seller reviews! I bought directly through Amazon and the product came brand new, shrink-wrapped, with adequate padding and no damage whatsoever. Perhaps there was at one point someone who was selling these for a sham on Amazon, but Amazon itself is selling the real deal.
And a bonus feature-the first few seasons of The West Wing were packaged on double sided discs originally when they were released, which causes playing problems (like my original season one). This set has everything on one-sided discs, and I haven't caught any lags, pixelated bits, or problems so far that I have on a few of my other season one discs (found after the return period ended). To me this is worth the set rather than the individuals.
On the whole, I'd definitely buy this product from Amazon. I got it for $75 during the pre-black friday sale, so the price was perfect for the product and I'm very pleased.
And ... while trying to watch the SECOND episode, it froze, and never came back. Don't think it's hardware problem.
UPDATE (Now that I've watched them all): Of the 154 episodes and several hours of additional material, there were four episodes that just wouldn't play through ... frozen. This shouldn't ever happen, but really, four out of 154 ain't that bad. HOWEVER, I'm fairly certain that the Collection I purchased had been opened previously ... you could tell that some of the discs had been removed from their slots before.
I'd also like to amend what I said about the captioning. It IS bad, insofar as it doesn't follow what's being said, word-for-word. However, it is perfectly TIMED, and they should get credit for that. Captioning that lags behind sucks, and this doesn't. Right on target.
Finally: Did you notice that this used to be well over $100, but it isn't anymore? There are at least two misprints in the packaging ... the "book" says episodes A, B and C are on disc X ... but it's A, B, C and D... something like that. I'm guessing that's why this is less expensive.
"The West Wing" is the best show that's ever been on TV, imho. This box set is a disappointment.

For your discussion on mantras:
A number of traditional sources clearly verify that the TM mantras, technically known as bija-aksharas ("indestructible seed-sounds"), are not meaningless but actually have well-defined meanings. In fact there are entire dictionaries of bija mantras like the bija dictionary of Bhairava rishi.
The Brihad-gandharva-tantra (chapter 5) clearly explains:
"The bijas have a meaning. They indicate the Artha or Devata that they are from. What that Devata is, is [supposed to be] taught to the Sadhaka (student), just as the child learns that 'rose' means a certain type of flower, and that rice and milk are the names for a certain type of food and drink he can have."
In any event, here are the meanings of some TM mantras according to the Varada-Tantra to demonstrate:
[The letter] "Ai" [in the mantra] means Sarasvati. Bindu [the "g" at the end of the mantra] means "dispeller of sorrow". This is the bija of Sarasvati. With it Vani or Sarasvati should be worshipped.
"Sa" means Mahalakshmi. "Ra" is said to mean "wealth". "I" means "satifaction". Nada is Apara (Ishvara). Bindu means "dispeller of sorrow". This is the bija of Devi Lakshmi. With it this Devi should be worshipped.
"Ha" means Shiva. "Ra" is said to be Prakriti. "I" means Mahamaya. Nada is said to be Mother of the Universe. Bindu means "dispeller of sorrow". With that Bhuvaneshvari should be worshipped.
And the second revelation to come in was the fifth and sixth advanced techniques, in response to the earlier post of the first four:
Wow, you only had two to go: shri shri aing aing namah namah and then the same thing in rhythm with the pulsing of the heart.
Enjoy! Don't let your head explode!

Morning Sickness getting worse...
I will be 12wks pg tomorrow with twins. Why does it seem like my "morning" sickness is actually getting worse? Today it has been awful. I was diagnosed with GD so I am looking at this meal I have to eat and wondering how that will get in my belly lol.
You poor thing:( Hopefully within the next few weeks it will subside for you. It does seem to get worse before it gets better but, by the time I hit my second trimester it was all gone . I just tried to eat anything that wouldn't make me want to vomit. I think I lived off of cereal, oatmeal, bagels,yogurt, eggs and believe it or not pizza. I also noticed that if I went too long without eating something I was even more nauseous. So try to eat atleast a little something every few hours if you can. Hope you feel better soon!
I am so with you on this subject. I will be 12 weeks on monday and some days I am so sick I can't handle it I thought it was suppose to get better but even smelling the food before i eat it makes me sick. Most the time I have to force myself to eat. Maybe its because we have multiples and it takes longer to get over the sickness. I will pray that we both get over it so we can eat healthy for our beautiful babies. Hope u feel better soon.
I'm at 13 weeks today and have had my first day off from "the hangover" as I call it. The last two weeks were the WORST!!! I also felt super nauseous if going too long without eating, or drinking water. Listen to your gut about what foods actually sound edible for the moment. I can't seem to eat the same foods twice. Second time around they make me sick. I've had to turn to foods that are high in fat and greasy. Cheese, bacon, sausage, fast food ect. I also found eggs, coffee and other things would set me off early and have me down the whole day.
Ginger chews from Trader Joe's SAVED my life, I swear. Also, Cheerios right from the box, no milk, took the edge off. Nothing made it go away completely, but I will swear that it was bearable with the help of ginger. By about 14 to 15 weeks it went away all together.
Next up now...HEARTBURN AND CHARLIE HORSES! Whooo hooo!
Next up now...HEARTBURN AND CHARLIE HORSES! Whooo hooo!
I am 14 weeks and sick as a dog. It feels like I have had the flu for months. I had 1 day last week where I felt good and it was like a gift from above. My doctor said that with multiples, morning sickness can last longer. Super

JRS: EU-North Africa relationship puts migrants' rights at risk
by zoejardiniere
07.12.2012 "For years the EU has relied on Morocco to hold migrants back without ensuring any kind of procedure to identify persons in need of refugee protection. In Algeria, where many migrants also get trapped without protection, they are often forced to beg on the street and live in abandoned buildings", said Andrew Galea Debono, Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) Europe researcher, during the presentation this week of the report Lives in Transit.
The JRS study shows that forced deportations and human rights abuses of migrants and refugees are common practice in Morocco and Algeria. Most sub-Saharan migrants reaching Maghreb are left in limbo, stuck between unreachable Europe and impossible return. Algeria and Morocco both lack legislation on asylum thus leaving forced migrants without protection, even though many have fled persecution or war. Migrants are not allowed to work and they often suffer from racial discrimination.
Having survived traumatic journeys, migrants and refugees, who have been recognised by UNHCR in sub-Saharan countries, are likely to be forcibly expelled to the desert by the Moroccan or Algerian authorities. These expulsions are normally carried out following police raids, during which individual cases have no chance to be reviewed.
According to JRS, the abuse of migrants' rights persists largely because the European Union turns a blind eye to the issue and focuses instead on regulating immigration flows. In addition to the current readmission agreement between Spain and Morocco, the European Commission is currently negotiating a European readmission agreement with Morocco.

James A. Taylor drove from his home in Northern California early Friday to be fitted for a nice pair of tan slacks and a spiffy navy blue blazer at Jackson's Men's Wear in Medford.
All at no charge.
But store owner Ray Jackson will tell you the Medal of Honor recipient and retired Army major more than paid for the clothing when he put his life on the line more than 40 years ago to rescue wounded soldiers in Vietnam.
Jackson donated the $150 slacks to go with the blazer, one of 90 suit jackets being provided at no cost for all medal recipients living in the United States by the Chicago-based Hart, Schaffner & Marx clothing firm for the 2010 annual Medal of Honor convention in Charleston, S.C., in September.
The Medford store was selected by the clothing firm to provide the blazer for Taylor, Jackson said. The clothing will be ready well before the convention, he added.
"We are honored they picked us to do this," he said.
"It's wonderful what they are doing for all of us," said Taylor, 72, who, like other medal recipients, travels the country more than six months out of the year to talk to school students about his experiences. He and Sandra, his wife of 52 years, live in Trinity Center, a small community about 70 miles northwest of Redding.
The highest award for bravery given to anyone in the military, the Medal of Honor is presented by the president in the name of Congress. It has been given to slightly more than 3,400 people in uniform since it was first presented in 1863, many of them awarded posthumously.
But Taylor insists he did what any responsible officer would do on Nov. 9, 1967, near Que Son, a valley about 50 miles southeast of Da Nang.
"You don't have time to give it any deep thought," said the Arcata, Calif., native. "My concern as the executive officer was to get our wounded taken care of. I was only doing my job."
But his award citation offers another perspective.
In the fall of 1967, then 1st Lt. Taylor, a "mustang" who had spent a decade as an enlisted man before becoming an officer, was serving as executive officer for Troop B of the 1st Cavalry Regiment, Americal Division.
After the unit's commanding officer was wounded, he stepped forward to lead a search-and-destroy mission. His troop was engaged in an attack on a fortified position when it came under intense enemy fire from recoilless rifles, mortars and automatic weapons. One armored cavalry assault vehicle was hit immediately by recoilless rifle fire, leaving all five crew members wounded.
"Aware that the stricken vehicle was in grave danger of exploding, Taylor rushed forward and personally extracted the wounded to safety despite the hail of enemy fire and exploding ammunition," the citation reads.
Within minutes, a second armored vehicle was hit by multiple recoilless rifle rounds. Once again Taylor moved forward on foot to rescue the wounded men from the burning vehicle just before it exploded, according to the citation.
"As he was returning to his vehicle, a bursting mortar round painfully wounded Taylor, yet he valiantly returned to his vehicle to relocate the medical evacuation landing zone to an area closer to the front lines," it continued.
As he was moving his vehicle, it came under machine gun fire from an enemy position no more than 50 yards away. Taylor returned fire with the vehicle's machine gun, killing the enemy's 3-man gun crew.
Finally, when he arrived at the new evacuation site, another armored vehicle was struck.
"Once again Taylor rushed forward and pulled the wounded from the vehicle, loaded them aboard his vehicle and returned them safely to the evacuation site," the document stated.
His valor inspired his unit, contributed significantly to the success of the overall mission and was directly responsible for saving the lives of a number of his fellow soldiers, the citation concluded.
Taylor, who retired in 1979, said his only thought was to come to the aid of his comrades-in-arms.
"I had some wonderful men — a hell of a team," he said. "As long as I could stand up and walk, they were not going to take me out of the fight. I needed to get my men out of harm's way. I had a job to do."

Round-Up: Actor 1946
IN CONCLUSION: I have mixed feelings about this this year's slate of actors. We've got Jimmy Stewart, Larry Parks and Gregory Peck playing good guys that Americans couldn't help but love, Fredric March winning for a very non-flashy, non-Oscary part, and Laurence Olivier (who may very well have been the runner-up to March, if his precursor wins were any indication) for a very Oscary part that otherwise fell flat with me. In any case, Peck's, March's, and Stewart's placements speaks for themselves, while Parks ups Olivier due to my belief that he's less stiff and just an overall enjoyable act to watch. In terms of also-rans:
Dana Andrews for The Best Years of Our Lives: most likely the sixth guy, given that the Academy adored his film. One wonders why he didn't make it, considering his part has more screen time than that of March's. My only guess is that March was already an Academy favorite, and was likely more respected? Between March, Stewart, Olivier, and Peck, that leaves 1 spot open for a newcomer, and I suppose the temptation was too great to acknowledge the guy playing a hugely popular entertainer in a biopic.
Next up were likely Tyrone Power for The Razor's Edge, also playing a man afflicted by his war experience, also in a film that made a solid showing at the Oscars. There's also Rex Harrison for Anna and the King of Siam, which was second runner-up at the NYFCC.
And from there--Claude Jarman Jr. might have been in contention for The Yearling, especially since he's much more 'lead' than Peck. Former winners Gary Cooper and Bing Crosby may have been in contention for Saratoga Trunk and Blue Skies, both major box office draws. Cary Grant, Burt Lancaster, Humphrey Bogart and John Garfield may have been in the mix for Notorious, The Killers, The Big Sleep, and The Postman Always Rings Twice, though they may not have stood a chance with the darker material. James Mason is said to have been pretty great in The Seventh Veil, and in terms of foreign cinema there's Jean-Louis Barrault and Aldo Fabrizi in Children of Paradise and The Seventh Veil.
So that's that! On to the next.
2 comments:
Wow! You named four actors who deserved to be on this list without even batting an eye (I think). Andrews, Grant, Bogart and especially Garfield all could have taken Peck's or Park's places perfectly (note the alliteration). I won't include Olivier or March in that because there's no way they weren't getting nods so why bother? I don't know if you've seen those other films but they're all worth a look and a few of those actors on the actual list would have made this a far better category. Great history lesson for what was going on in forty six, though!ReplyDelete
Never seen It's a Wonderful Life,ReplyDelete
because we're not so crazy about it over in Europe as everyone seems to be in the US. Not the traditional Christmas film here (like they run Home Alone obsessively). And somehow missed seeing it back in the day when I had time for old movies. I always enjoyed Capra's films, but found them somehow overrated, so I expected this one to fall in the same category, I guess.

"Holding on is believing that there's only a past;letting go is knowing that there's a future".
I want a lot of things in this life.
Some of them are things I imagine in passing it would be nice to have, but some of them are things I truly intend to obtain,in my mind,by all means.
In other words, for the things I truly desire, I am willing to work hard,humble myself, and sacrifice.
I sincerely intend to make them happen and will do whatever is within my power to make them happen.
And yet, while doing so has helped me successfully achieve many goals I have set in my
life, there are still things I want that I haven't
gotten, despite having executed the strategy
described above.
Some of them are general life goals, some are fitness goals, and some are personal goals.
I understand that we only have so much time,
energy, and attention to devote to anything, which limits the number of goals we can meaningfully intend to achieve.
But sometimes it's not a matter of me spreading
myself too thin or not setting aside the time to make the magic happen.
Sometimes I do everything "right," but the prize just doesn't come to pass.
Despite my best efforts and appropriate focus and intention, I don't always get the results I want.
I don't get to build the house I dreamed of.
I did everything right, but it doesn't pan out.
It sucks.
But it's part of being human.
Over time, I have realised when something like this happens, I have a choice: I can give up, or I can let go.
At first glance, the two may seem to be similar, because they both result in me acknowledging that what I wanted isn't likely or definitely isn't going to happen.
But there are some subtle yet significant differences.
Read on for an explanation of the distinctions
between giving up and letting go and for an
explanation of why they matter.
See if you agree with my belief that it is better to let go than to give up.
•Giving Up
When I give up, I decide it's futile even to try anymore-at anything.
I decide there is a finite amount of satisfaction and fulfilment in the world, and now that
I've been thwarted in this goal, there is less of it for me to get.
The fact that someone else prevailed where I wanted to means they are standing in the way of my happiness.
So I start to dislike that person, and any person who might get any other thing I want, even if they worked as hard or harder.
I develop a sense of entitlement, and I don't feel like working hard anymore, because what's the use?
•Letting Go
When I let go, on the other hand, I make a point of remembering how good my life is, even without the thing I want.
I appreciate that the very process of pursuing what I wanted helped me make strides toward self-actualisation.
I recognise there might actually be some good to me not getting the thing I want.
Maybe I'm not ready, or maybe what I actually
wanted was something I thought only achieving my goal could give me, only now I've figured out I could get it in another way.
I redouble my efforts to work for the things I want, because I understand I will be a
better person for the effort no matter the outcome.
Now. Lest you think I sound contradictory, rest assured that in order for me to get to the letting go, I almost always first have to go through the giving up.
But ultimately, I am able to get there, albeit maybe after some wallowing and self-pity.
Another surprising outcome of the letting go
rather than the giving up is that sometimes it is
after I have let go that I finally do get the thing I want.
It seems it is only once I truly come to realize
that my life will be fine whether I get the thing or not, that I can be equally happy with or without it, that I'm in a position to appreciate the thing as part of the constellation of good things that make up my life, rather than putting the pressure on it that needing to have it does.
Put in a different way,giving up creates resentment out of a false sense of entitlement,while letting go is liberating in that,my happiness is not totally linked to the outcome of letting go.
Letting go somehow becomes a joyful loss to things that I should lose to create room for new and better things in my life.
Just some random thoughts that came to my mind….©Profarms' Random Thoughts®

My controlling nature does not deal well with change. The longer I'm married to an extremely go-with-the-flow man, the better I have gotten at letting life come as it may. But there are still parts of me that dig in my heels and say, "Hey! Wait a minute. I want to do it my way." I start to view my children as obstacles (especially when they involve things like feeding tubes and trips to the ER) instead of the sweet blessings they are. I start to wrench up my pedestal and look down at the tops of their little heads and think, Don't you know you're bothering me up here?
When that nasty little spirit of pride worms its way in, my heart becomes bitter and resentful. I want it my way, right now, make them go away. But I can't. So I put it on them. You are the reason I can't just drive to the beach right now and sprawl on the sand for three days. You are the reason I smell like some strange cheese because I haven't showered in three days. You are the reason I don't want to get out of bed because you woke me up and I don't want to get up right now. You. You. You!
Jesus speaks these words to the gathered crowd: "Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. (Matthew 6:34)" He is explaining to them why they shouldn't be anxious, why they shouldn't worry about the days to come. He tells them not to worry about tomorrow because right here, right now, today -- it comes with its own trouble. You don't have time to worry about tomorrow; the present is filled with its own unique difficulties. Every day comes with trials and troubles. That is the assumed standard.
But guess what else comes with every day? "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23)" Mercy. Sweet, gracious mercy. For every trial that comes riding down on us, threatening to break our spirit and our bodies, the mercy of God showers us. Paul, imprisoned persecuted Paul, writes this in Philippians: "I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need." He knows how to endure trial and he knows how to celebrate victories. What is his secret? The one that allows him to embrace both trouble and mercy? "I can do all things through [Christ] who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13)" Jesus.
Every day promises trouble and every day promises mercy. Every day will be difficult and every day will be wonderful. You can cast your eyes on the losses, the never-ending laundry, the demanding boss, the junked up car, the whining baby; you can let your heart palpitate with the anxiety of today's troubles and tomorrow's troubles and you can go to bed with your eyes peeled open, trying to figure out how you are going to right the world. OR -- you can open your eyes to the joy. You can see the mercies, the victories, the sweet little smiles, the cleared inbox, the patter of feet running to greet you at the door,; you can rest your heart in the mercy of the Lord and hand over your today, your tomorrow, your every single day to the One who offers the water of life and fresh mercy with the sun.

In honor of Redskins training camp frenzy, we are hosting our own set of 54 hour mental drills at Startup Weekend (#rvasw).
Last night the big show started with coach Shawn Bowyer, founder of Snagajob, sharing candid truth about StartUp life. "After maxing out every credit card, friends and family contributions and my own parent's savings, success or failure was a lot more than just a personal issue. If you are committed to a startup life it is a family affair no matter what you think!".
Indeed, finding and pursuing your next big idea can be a serious challenge and exhilarating thrill ride. Shawn also shared the importance of team beyond friends and family, "A UX designer, developer and good product lead seem to be the best way to go" along with the classic advice "if you are not embarrassed by version 1 then you spent to long developing your idea!". Now that is excellent coaching worthy of a championship run and with those insights over 40 brave souls stood up and pitched. 60 seconds to inspire votes and attract team interest!
And now our mentors and surviving teams are rocking the final 40 hours! So forget two-a-days ...this training camp is prepping its participants for more than a season, it is sparking the possibility of a lifetime of innovation!

A Startup Guide to RVA
by: Larkin Garbee (last updated 4/10/15)
804RVA's Lead Coworkaholic
We all know that Larkin Garbee, Chief Imagination Officer at 804RVA, is a little bit crazy.
Crazy about craft beers – her current favorite is Copper Kettle's Mexican Chocolate Stout.
Crazy about pickles – the best homemade pickles are at Garnett's.
And of course, she's crazy about co-working and entrepreneurship in Richmond.
"Richmond is evolving and we're seeing a creative class of people designing things they're passionate about that also have a social impact," Larkin said.
To foster growth within this "creative class", 804RVA is rolling out a series of mentor programs for start-ups and developing new collaboration methods for the 804RVA community.
"I've always loved technology and wanted to be around creative people," Larkin said, describing her reason for founding 804RVA.
She continues, "We've grown to 65 members in 14 months, and within five years, I'd like to see a community of 300 members creating products and technologies that have a significant impact."
And true to form, Larkin is focused on developing a solution to house her dream. She's currently working to raise funds for a 30,000 square foot Innovation Hub located at the RVA Power Plant.
Similar to innovation hubs in Portland, Atlanta and other U.S. cities, the RVA Power Plant is meant to engage and retain Richmond's creative class.
"We've had so many entrepreneurs move to other cities because they couldn't find the resources here," Larkin explained. "I want the RVA Power Plant to provide education and tools to help support start-ups through their early stages."
What exactly motivates Larkin to work so hard building the start-up community in Richmond?
"Maybe it's genetics," Larkin laughed. "But I've been raised with the mentality of 'if you believe it you can do it'. If I'm not creating something I'm bored."
Even on the weekends, Larkin is creating.
CityScrapbook, Larkin's Pinterest for neighborhoods, will let users build Instagram scrapbooks of their favorite neighborhood photos.
"When people talk about their neighborhood, there's a big sense of connectedness," Larkin explained.
"People see their neighborhood in a different light and with CityScrapbook they'll be able to share what's unique about their neighborhood. Eventually I'd like to overlay real estate searches into the app."
If you're lucky enough to catch Larkin during the day, you'll probably find her holding a meeting at Lamplighter, setting up an 804RVA Meetup, or hosting a business happy hour at The Camel.
But regardless of where Larkin is, she's always focused on her number one mission: building a stronger community for coworkers, start-ups, and Richmond's creative class.
As Larkin says, "Together, we can be actively involved in a community with people doing good things to make a difference."

Ms. Garbee-Beebe Goes to Washington
by Brian Bassett
Steve Case addressing audience at Executive Office Building
It's not every day that an 804RVAer gets to go head up to Washington to hang out in the White House! Well, not White House precisely, but the Indian Treaty Room of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building is pretty darn close ...
So why were Larkin and Todd Nuckols in our nation's capital on February 5th? After nailing Larkin down for 20 minutes, I'll try and explain ...
In the aftershocks of the financial crisis of 2008, the US government realized just how vital innovation can be to our nation and how much it matters to our economy. No longer could government just expect massive businesses to yield the same results year over year. No longer could the increase in property values be considered a given. No longer could government afford to spend more if they were going to have less in their coffers. So as the nation worked to rebuild from a recession, where was growth strongest? In entrepreneurship.
Since then, government realizes that whether innovation needs to start at home inside government operations, or through the very frameworks they set up for the private sector, government is trying to create an economic culture that fosters runaway growth of new businesses who are delivering new products and services to the economy.
With the help of non-profits like The Case Foundation, The Kauffman Foundation and Startup America, government is seeking to appreciate how innovation, entrepreneurship and a new paradigms for business creation and generation are what will be fuels our economy moving forward.
To that end, a whole day was planned in Washington where ten states like Texas, Arizona, Maryland and Virginia were invited to participate in discussions on innovation and present their regional work and their findings to Todd Park, the Chief Technology Officer of the United States, amongst others.
The day started with a breakfast that the Case Foundation hosted where the states represented had breakfast with Steve Case (former CEO of AOL) along with his wife Jean (champion of the Case Foundation's "Be Fearless" campaign) and Startup America's Scott Case in an informal setting. The best part of that event according to Larkin? "It's good to know people around the country now with whom we can share our ideas and roadblocks," Larkin said. "Arizona has some similar challenges that we do in Virginia. Most notably creating density with the resources we do have to spur innovation. So, being able to share what's worked for us and hear what's working for them is a big help."
The State of Secret Sauce
After spending the morning at the Case Foundation, the Kauffman Foundation held their fourth annual State of Entrepreneurship at the National Press Club. The focus of the event was to openly address the challenges and opportunities in financing young companies.
In opening the event, the junior Senator from the State of Kansas, Senator Jerry Moran told the audience that entrepreneurship is vital to the sustainability and growth of the American economy. "When entrepreneurs succeed our communities and our nation succeeds," Moran said. "For the last three decades, entrepreneurs and their young companies have been responsible for almost all the net job creation in our nation ... an average of three million jobs per year."
Even so, Moran warned that unless the nation acted soon, entrepreneurship would become an endangered ideal in the United States. "The state of entrepreneurship is not as strong it once was -- I had someone in my office recently who told me ... [that] .. they know what the American Dream is, but that it's being lived someplace else. We need make sure the American Dream is being lived in America."
Karen's sentiment is one that obviously struck a chord. America has always been about letting the best ideas and the hardest workers rise to the top. Entrepreneurship is the thing that ties everything together and makes it all work. So what goes into the recipe to make secret sauce?
Pitch the Plan
A lot has changed in how entrepreneurship works in the last fifteen years. While harnessing new ideas is what has always powered our economy, the way those ideas come to fruition is changing. Bank debt, regulation, venture capital, IPOs and crowdsourcing are all changing and changing the ways new businesses get off the ground. Startup America as well as the Case and Kauffman foundations are pushing for quick action by regulators to address the hurdles that exist right now, specifically in crowdfunding.
While venture capital is a more traditional model at this point, VCs are looking for more than just a buttoned up business plan according to Jeff Fagnan, a partner at Atlas Ventures. "The business plan is outdated ... I've never funded a startup with a business plan," Fagnan told the audience at the State of Entrepreneurship financing panel. To Fagnan the sum of the parts is more important to successful entrepreneurship team than an airtight five-year plan. "I fund projects on idea, talent and network."
For most venture capitalists, it comes down to ideas, the ability to iterate, and their flexibility to respond to market validation. Even so, funding entrepreneurship via venture capital can't be the only way to start a business. Donna Harris of Startup America told the panel, entrepreneurs should not underestimate the role of large corporations in the startup ecosystem. Corporate procurement of the products and services that the startups can quickly deliver to them can be key to a young business's long-term viability.
Three Minutes
After the State of Entrepreneurship, the ten states were all allotted a three minute pitch at the Executive Office Building in front of the new CTO of the United States Todd Park, the head of the SBA, delegations from the Kauffman and Case Foundations as well as many other luminaries.
During Virginia's three minutes, Larkin spoke to the group and told them that the state is working on a number of projects whether in Blacksburg, Charlottesville, Newport News, Northern Virginia or in Richmond in different industries and that as a whole, the group agrees that for entrepreneurship to be more effective in Virginia, everyone "must join forces to treat the entire state like a startup in order to succeed. We are breaking down barriers to connect the commonwealth to collectively improve manufacturing, healthcare, government, cyber security and public education."
On the whole, Larkin said that the day was an exciting and life-changing experience. That it was a chance for her to be encouraged in knowing that other states are dealing with some of the same issues, but also that there are champions working in the halls of power in Washington to effect the same change that she's working on every day here in Richmond.

Kauffman: State of Entrepreneurship Address
Kauffman: State of Entrepreneurship & Financing Press Release
By: Todd Nuckols
Back in 2006 when I was considering an ad fueled internet business plan the CPM rates where generally around $10 as mentioned in an interesting post from Fred Wilson. Now the landscape of on-line advertising has grown increasingly complex and less lucrative per impression as pointed out in the Luma Partners slide pictures left and mentioned in the post. Well, the post speaks for itself on what scale needs to mean if you are considering an ad-based model - and spoiler alert - the scale without a niche target audience is huge. So, feel free to hop on over to the post and read it for yourself.
But what struck me about the post was not the world of scaling ads. It was this quote:
The sales leader is a critical hire. There are people who do this for a living, who really understand how to put a team together and generate advertising revenue predictably and reliably, and they are highly compensated and are worth every penny. Do not skimp on this if you are building your own sales force.
When I started the startup game over 10 years ago I could quickly get carried away with the value of my idea, the complexity and elegance of the technology or visions of investment capital paving the way to success. Boy that was fun!
But on the journey I have come to realize the obvious (but is it really). Execution on sales is everything! We can get side tracked by companies who have turned into giants by "building market share first" or thinking about "monetizing later". Chances are your journey will not be so accommodating! So as you build a team and possible consider that sales leadership position head the advice given by Mr. Wilson. "The sales leader is a critical hire."
Who is your sales leader? Are they up to the task? What is your sales plan! Great answers to these questions lead to revenue and investment. Ad-based models or otherwise have a sales plan and a great sales leader -- and if you do not -- well, be cautious about launching into the deep end of the startup pool!

The Fall Fiesta for entrepreneurs delivered some heartfelt insight from growing success Intelliject (http://www.intelliject.com/), fancy sales eye candy from NimblePitch (http://www.nimblepitch.com/) and a way for you to make a little coin using your social influence from still in private beta Refersal (http://www.refersal.com/). I can't wait to find out who will join us at the winter party!
But the really BIG announcement was the official joining of StartRVA and 804RVA into one big happy family. So for all you 804RVA fans we are hoping our friends at StartRVA will come on over and help us create on of the largest, wolf-shirt-iest, creative, innovative and startup-happy communities on the planet! Look for lots more news, fun and information about this partnership right here in the future.
A special thank you to SpeakEasy for dropping some cool survey tech on the house and all of our generous sponsors: Dominion Digital, RichTech, Startup Weekend RVA, 804RVA and GroundWorkDesign. Without them we would all have to pay - decidedly not as fun. Until next time innovation fans...

Jesus of Nazareth (1977)
Jesus of Nazareth is a 1977 British-Italian television miniseries co-written and directed by Franco Zeffirelli which dramatizes the birth, life, ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus largely according the Christian Bible's New Testament Gospels. It stars Robert Powell as Jesus. The miniseries features an all star cast of famous American and European actors, including seven Oscar winners. Extra-biblical traditions were used in the writing of the screenplay and some characters and situations were invented for the film for brevity or dramatic purposes. Notably, Jesus of Nazareth depicts Judas Iscariot as a well-intentioned man initially, but later as a dupe of Zerah who betrays Jesus largely as a result of Zerah's false platitudes and pretexts. However, in accordance with the Gospels, the film depicts Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea as sympathetic members of the Sanhedrin. Many of the miracles of Jesus, such as the changing of water into wine at the wedding at Cana, the transfiguration, and the calming of the storm are not depicted, although Jesus healing the blind man and the crippled woman on Sabbath, the feeding of the multitude, and the raising of Lazarus from the dead are.

We've never paid much attention to our "competition", after all imitation is the most sincere form of flattery right?
