Embodying the Teachings: A Daylong Retreat
Submitted by Dan Cayer on Thu, 10/15/2015, 10:05am
In our culture, we place a high emphasis on intellectual learning. Yet our personal growth seems to depend on how we translate what we read and hear into some deeper, possibly wordless understanding. Even Suzuki Roshi once said about his own (brilliant) lectures, "It is like giving you a recipe. It doesn't work. You cannot eat a recipe."
So how do we grow the teachings in our heart and in our body, and in the whir of New York City no less?
On November 1, IDP teachers Kate Johnson and I will be leading a special, daylong workshop designed to integrate traditional teachings with the experience of embodiment. We will be drawing on contemporary methodologies ranging from movement meditation to the Alexander Technique to social change.
"Embodying the Teachings," 10 AM-5 PM, November 1 at IDP
em·bod·y (əmˈbädē/) verb: "give a concrete form to; personify," or "to collect into a body; organize."
Cultivating embodied awareness allows us to bring the lamp of mindfulness through our whole day, not just in our formal sitting meditation. With embodiment, we naturally develop curiosity and compassion towards ourselves and our relationships. We learn how the small moments of our lives – brief interactions and transitions, unpleasantries and surprises – need not be lost or wasted, but can become an integrated part of spiritual practice.
In this workshop, multiple streams will be employed to ground us and help us explore: from meditation to social change, and from yoga to the Alexander Technique. Participants will practice mindful movements including gentle yoga to Chi gong, body scans, as well as a posture clinic using the Alexander Technique. Also, participants will be taught meditation techniques for sitting, standing, walking, and lying down.
Designed for beginners as well as those with an established meditation practice. Chairs, cushions, mats, and blocks will be provided.
An "early bird" discount of $77 is in effect until October 17.
I'm also offering a six week series at IDP which practices the theme of embodiment in working with difficult circumstances, "Embracing Discomfort: Relating to Your Body with the Power of Mindfulness," beginning on Monday, November 2.

Solarix Networks Limited beefs up South Island leadership team.
Solarix Networks Limited has appointed Canterbury technology veteran Craig Fawcett to its leadership team to spearhead South Island strategic sales and relationship management activity for the business.
Fawcett joins Solarix as their Commercial Manager – South Island after spending the last 2 years at global ICT powerhouse Dimension Data, in Christchurch, where he lead pre sales for the Southern region.
"The South Island remains a high growth area for our business." says Simon Spence, Director of Sales at Solarix. "We've seen significant wins in the South Island and investing in our leadership capability for such a high growth market is imperative for us." he adds.
Solarix is investing heavily in On-Demand Networking capability with growing maturity in its Software Defined Networking suite and self-provision WAN portfolio, which is being released to the market over the coming months. A gap it sees as paramount in accelerating growth in Cloud and Hybrid Cloud and enterprise technology demands over the next 5 years.
"It's not often that you see such innovation in the networking and communications space by a Service Provider, and joining a dynamic, quick thinking team like Solarix is very exciting!" says Fawcett.
Craig steps into the role with Solarix on the 18th of April 2016


text: Share: Comments Print September 25, 2012 at 9:50 AM Inslee, McKenna and the economic debate Posted by Jon Talton I despise the false-equivalency of "both sides do it" journalism, but in reading about the economic debate between gubernatorial candidates Jay Inslee and Rob McKenna, I say both sides to make important points. Inslee is correct to focus on enhancing the clusters most important to the state: Clean energy, aerospace, life sciences, agriculture, information technology, military and maritime. A B&O tax credit for small businesses that hire people is also worth a look. McKenna is wise to want to emphasize funding education and push for paring back regulations that hurt job creation. The reality is that if low taxes and "light" regulation were the key to economic success, then Mississippi would be Singapore. If all state government had to do was "get out of the way," then Boeing, for example, would probably have built the Dreamliner elsewhere. State government must do many things well in partnership with business. Washington enjoys one of the nation's most successful state economies, however much some business groups gripe. But our assets are all fair game in a competitive world. Other places want what we have and their governments, including red-state South Carolina (9.6 percent unemployment), will be very activist in trying to snag them. There's a question about how much a governor can do. A dysfunctional Legislature is much more to blame for gutting the universities and would have to pass either candidate's proposals — or drop them into the quicksand of process. A governor can frame issues and sell them to the public, as well as provide quiet behind-the-scenes leadership. He or she can also be a great salesman for the state; Washington needs more foreign direct investment, for example. And maybe, once safely in office, touch some third rails, such as the destructive competition between the ports of Tacoma and Seattle.

Thousands protest against Myitsone dam in Kachin
Source : Myanmar Times
View Count : 594
Feb 07, 2019
Thousands of people on Thursday gathered in a park in Myitkyina township in Kachin State to call for a complete halt to the China-financed work on the Myitsone dam on the Ayeyarwady River.
Over 7000 Kachin people gathered in Manaw park to denounce attempts by China and others to restart the project, which has been mothballed since 2011 when strong opposition from residents forced its cancellation.
"That dam is not for us. We support the free flow of the Ayeyarwady. We can't accept implementing the project without the people's will," said U Sar Chi, one of the protest leaders.
The protesters said that 90 percent of the electricity that will be produced by the dam will be exported to China and will not benefit the country.
They said the demonstration was also meant to criticise a recent statement by the Chinese embassy in Myanmar that most Kachin people support the project and only a few non-governmental organisations and political parties oppose it.
Among the protesters were Kachin religious leaders from Myitkyina and Waingmaw township, Buddhist monks, and Kachin political parties, civil society groups and activists.
The protesters carried placards with slogans opposing the project, written in Myanmar, Chinese and English.
"We are protesting against the project not because we hate Chinese people. We don't hate the Chinese. We are doing this only because we don't want this project," said Daw Lura, a local resident who was displaced by the project.
Police arrested one of the protest leaders, Daw Ja Gaung, who had secured the demonstration permit, for failing to follow the terms of the permit. Police charged Daw Ja Gaung with violating the Peaceful Assembly and Peaceful Procession Law.
Myint Moe, chief of No. 1 police station in Myitkyina, said that among the violations by the protesters was their use of a loudspeaker and headbands printed with "No to Myitsone dam."
U Aung Hkam, chairman of the Kachin Democratic Party, urged the government to take decisive action and stand with the people in opposing the dam.
He warned that the government will meet with strong opposition if it ignores the people's will.
The dam project was signed with China under the administration of president U Thein Sein. Its construction began in 2009, but it was suspended in September 2011 after widespread public protests.
Last week, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, commander-in-chief of Defence Services, assured Baptist leaders that the military will respect the people's will on the dam.
U Thaung Tun, minister of Investment and Foreign Economic Relations, told reporters recently that talks are ongoing to relocate and possibly downsize the project.

We are skilled in every aspect of the production business—from contracts for agency directors and unions to executive producing and staffing and more. We work with all types of media and all types of clients.
It starts with a questionnaire for your company that examines your brand, sales and marketing, operations and staffing. Using your input, together we'll prioritize your needs and then devise a customized, detailed plan to achieve the goals that will take your company to a new level. Knowing that accountability is everything, we track our progress to make suregoals are met in a timely manner.
Yes. A business plan can help a company develop a vision and institute a plan to realize that vision. At AT Consulting, we utilize an easy-to-use program that covers the fundamentals of the Pitch, the Plan and, most importantly, the Financials.
We predominantly work with content production and promo companies,from well established entities to start-ups and everything in between. Our clients tend to be in LA, New York, Chicago, Miami and other major markets, but we've helped many production companies in emerging markets, as well.
Yes. We understand the ins and outs of union contracts and know what's required, what's appropriate and what's not. We also work with non-union companies and help them find the most effective way to maximize their status to potential clients.
Absolutely. We are very connected in both the major and secondary markets and have developed relationships throughout the industry. We know how to find the perfect match between production companies and sales reps, weighing work styles, personalities, strengths, goals, contacts and opportunities that result in a win-win. It's all about finding the right rep firm to help you win more business. You just can't afford to make a hiring mistake when the marketplace is this competitive.
First, you have to get invited to pitch. We're experts at building reels that connect with and have the greatest impact on potential clients. Once in, you need to understand where you stand in the bidding pool and how you can position yourself for success. The devil is truly in the details. We can also help you strategize and prepare for the pitch itself, preparing a flawless and memorable presentation that leaves a lasting impression.
We'd love to. We have many years of experience in both the EP and producer roles and are happy to share our knowledge and expertise. Oftentimes, we find that a little bit of coaching can take a producer to a whole new level.
Of course.In our experience, many directors 'just want to shoot.' They love theact of filmmaking and leap at every opportunity that comes their way. That strategy (or lack thereof) simply doesn't work in today's ad market. It's important for directors to define a niche or a narrow range that defines their body of work so they can be easily identified and remembered by ad agencies and brands. To determine and define that nicheor niches, the right questions need to be asked and strategies developed. It's also equally important to select the right projects that will lay the groundwork and build a solid reputation and career.
Yes, we offer a range of workshop topics. A workshop is a great way to build cohesiveness within a production company. Our most popular workshop focuses on the entire production company process including marketing the director, conference call prepping, treatment processes and follow-up calls with the agency or client. We strategize about processes, communication styles, closing the deal and more. The ideal workshop size is 8-10, so there is substantial sharing, learning and team building..
We are not recruiters per se. However, we do have relationships with excellent recruiters and often work together when the need arises.
We have a vast array of foreign contacts and have EP-ed jobs all over the world. We can help you pinpoint those countries that will work for your project and the service companies that you can trust.
Our pricing is based on the unique needs of our clients and their projects. However, as a rule, clients are surprised to learn how affordable we are. Once we've determined your needs and the scope of your project, we'll develop a plan of action with a finite timetable, price and payment schedule you can live with. Should you be interested in monthly consultation, we can negotiate a low base rate with additional payments made only whengoals are achieved.

Chamdate Review: Recognizing the subtle hints dropped by women during Russian Dating
Russian girls are known to be intense personalities. They have a wide range of emotions, intricacies and layers to their personality. While dating Russian women, you may have to remember that they are not always sure about what they want to do. They may never know what they would like to eat for super or where they would like to go or what movie they would like to see with you. It is a fact that during your Russian dating experience, you will realize that many Russian girls are quite indecisive and these traits are not going to change for a long time to come.
Hot Russian girls may say one thing to you but mean some other thing. You should not mind this because it is not done intentionally. Often, these girls do not remember that guys do not fully understand their secret lingo or their mixed messages.
Here are some definite signs that you may recognize as subtle hints dropped by women during your Russian dating experience.
- For sexy Russian babeson a Russian dating website, silence is not always a golden rule – If your Russian dating partner is being quiet for some reason, you cannot ignore her or let that be. Russian girls like talkative guys even though they may not say this outright. They may be ignoring you or keeping silent because you may have done something that they found offensive or hurtful to them. You can reflect a little and think about what you have done in the past few days that has brought about such a silent treatment. There has got to be a deeper meaning to that. Perhaps, your date does not know how to put across what she wants to say or she may be a little angry with you and wants to simmer down her emotions in silence to avoid saying something that she may regret later. In such a situation, it is better to stay calm and make an effort to talk to her, gently. You can ask her some reasonable questions and try to find out why she is behaving the way she is doing and get it out of her if she is cross with you.
- Their eyes are always on the prize – It is not only you who would be interested in looking at the Russian ladies photos, Russian women videosor blonde Russian women but those Russian ladies would also be interested in you in the same way. What do Russian women look like? They are beautiful to look at it and full of vivacious spirit. They are generally not shy in nature and would like to be outgoing and extroverts. When they stare into your eyes directly when you speak to them, you have to take that hint. It means that a Russian lady is interested in selecting you as a date. If your date is looking at your body and not your eyes and does not pay attention to what you are saying, it means that she is dropping a hint that she is interested in you, physically.
- During a Russian girls video chat, you may have realised that these girls like to laugh a lot. They are dropping a hint that they are attracted to you even if what you are saying is not so funny. If a Russian lady laughs at you, then it means that she is into you. All the best!
- While you are walking side by side with your Russian date and she happens to gently graze your and with hers, it means that she is making a casual effort to touch you and test you out if there is a current that brings out about that electric chemistry between both of you.
- They like to come across as sugar and spice when they want to attract you as their dating partner. Their tone of voice becomes lighter and kinder when they are around you because they want to make you feel that they are going to sweet to you and that they would nurture you.

Colleges and graduate programs will do whatever it takes to protect their yield and won't spare any expense. Admit weekends will wine and dine prospective students with dinners at faculty clubs, organized social events and panel presentations featuring the school's best and brightest alumni, faculty and current students. Admissions departments will send gifts to admitted students and, in some cases, like that at a women's college in Decatur, Georgia, school officials may even mail out a booklet containing scented pages to prospective students. Admits of Agnes Scott College could smell pine while viewing a photograph of campus trees and a few pages later, got a whiff of freshly mowed grass while looking at an aerial shot of the Quad.
Admissions directors and marketing managers will jump through all kinds of hoops to ensure admitted applicants matriculate as students in the next class. But, why? What are their incentives? As long as programs get a full class eventually, why should it matter? The answer is that it all comes down to rankings, as a school's yield percentage is a significant player in the race for the top slots.
Besides these obvious activities to woo admits, schools are also guilty of manipulating the admissions process, a practice commonly referred to as 'yield protection.' Some programs will waitlist average applicants so admissions directors can see who is interested enough to fight their way in. Other programs will waitlist higher than average applicants if they believe these applicants would receive interview and admissions offers at more elite institutions.
As an applicant, instead of getting frustrated by these practices, use them to your advantage in the application process. Whether you are applying to college, medical, law or business school, or other graduate programs within the arts and sciences, don't forget the following tips:
Make Absolutely Sure Admissions Directors at Your Top Choices Know Their Program Is Your First Choice: Attend forums and recruiting events where you can introduce yourself to deans and admissions directors and reiterate how excited you would be if admitted to their institution.
Put It In Writing: After events, send hand-written thank you notes to everyone you spoke with and, of course, drop in a line about your strong desire to attend if admitted.
Be Proactive: Don't just attend scheduled events. Arrange school visits through the admissions office and set up one-on-one appointments with various faculty members, deans, admissions directors and current students. This not only shows your strong interest in their school, but this will also benefit you during the interview when you will be able to speak in-depth about the school's offerings.
If You Are Waitlisted, Take Action: Visit the school if you haven't already, send a letter with updates on your candidacy with a particular emphasis on how well you would fit in at your first choice school, send an additional recommendation letter and keep communication open. You may think it could be annoying, but occasionally following up with admissions committees is a good way to reiterate interest and keep at the top of their minds.
During a time of manipulative yield protection activities and marketing tactics that include scented brochures, you must arm yourself with the knowledge of this game and use it to your advantage. In a few years, when you are studying on the quad of the reach school where you were initially waitlisted, the smell of that freshly mowed grass will be that much sweeter.

Today we consider gold and silver.
We suggest that you should buy one and sell the other.
We then advise walking away for a couple of years…
Silver and Mother Nature's ratio
There is, say the wise old men of geological lore, something like 15 times as much silver in the Earth's crust as there is gold. Received wisdom is that in days gone by, the value of silver relative to gold reflected the amount of metal Mother Nature has given us: gold was, for hundreds of years, about 15 times the price of silver.
Last year 27,579 tonnes of silver were produced (according to my most reliable of precious metal data sources, Nick Laird of Sharelynx) and about 3,000 tonnes of gold. In other words, just over nine times as much as silver as gold was produced.
However, the gold price – about $1,270 an ounce – is about 75 times silver's price of $17 an ounce. What gives?
I'm not a great believer in reasons for a market price. People always demand reasons. Why did the market go up today? Oh, because of Brexit fears, or the latest China data, or whatever the issue du jour is. Usually, the issue du jour or even the issue of the week or month has very little to do it with it. People are just attaching their own narratives onto a price move after an event.
A market moves in the way it moves because it does. There are more buyers than sellers, or vice versa.
So it is with gold and silver. Silver may not be 75 times as abundant as gold, but gold is 75 times the price of silver because people want gold more than they do silver. They prize it more and so they're prepared to pay more for it.
The diehard silver bug is waiting for the day when silver returns to its "true price" – the price Mother Nature set. He is waiting for the day when silver is just 15 times the price of gold. When that day finally comes, he will jump and sing and crow. He will shout from the rooftops, "I told you so" and he will forget to sell.
Were the gold price to remain where it is today, by the way, a silver-to-gold ratio of 15 would mean silver at $85. Hmmm. Yummy.
However, while that day may well come, in terms of market probability, you are as well off speculating on the arrival of Godot. I am 46. We have seen a gold-to-silver ratio of 15 once in my lifetime – for one day in 1980. What if your eye was on other things? You missed it.
We also hit this number for a glorious day in the late 1960s (due to the deliberate suppression of the gold price for political reasons) – and once again in 1920.
I'm not saying that day will not come again – it probably will – and when it does you will, I hope, see much of La Famille Frisby's silverware advertised on eBay – but such events are so rare they are not worth betting on.
Below, courtesy once again of Nick Laird, is the ratio of gold versus silver since 1720. (How Laird can get data for the 1720s is beyond me. I can only assume he has some kind of special power.)
We're in the zone
Now let's zoom in a little – as per the chart below.
If you look at the ratio over the last 30 years, you can see that there is a fairly well-defined range.
When silver went to $50 in the spring of 2011, gold was 32 times the price of silver. That month of excitement aside, the $40 to $52 area has marked the bottom of the range. That is when you want to be moving out of silver and into gold. I've drawn a golden band on the chart to mark this.
The top of the range I've defined with a silvery-grey bar. That is when the ratio goes above 80 – when silver is 80 times the price of gold. That is the point at which you want to be moving out of gold and into silver.
We visited the buy-silver, sell-gold zone earlier this year. And it now looks to me as though we have entered a period in which silver is set to outperform. During such periods – when this ratio falls – silver, silver miners, gold and gold miners all tend to do well. It's a bull market for all such assets. And, overbought though we may now be, it's a bull market.
If you're looking for a different slant, you could simply rotate out of gold and into silver. You then wait for that ratio to come back into the gold zone, at which point you want to be getting out of silver and getting back into gold. (In fact, when the gold/silver ratio is rising, you often want to be out of all things precious and in cash.)
The ratio only goes into the silver zone once every few years. The last time was 2008, the time before that was 2003 – both presaged fantastic, multi-year bull markets. Similarly, it only goes into the gold zone every few years.
To be clear, I'm not recommending you sell your "in case of emergency, fetch shovel" physical gold. But not all people are so wise as to have such a stash. My buy-silver-sell-gold idea is something separate.
Silver is volatile. It goes down a lot, as well as up. By selling gold as well as buying silver, you are hedged. If you've been holding "paper" gold (via an exchange-traded fund, say) then switching to "paper" silver makes sense.
It's a trade that might take a few years to play out, but if you can give it three, I'm as sure as any market participant can be – there's no such thing as a sure thing – that you'll make handsome profits.
The many ways to buy silver (and sell gold)
If you are a spread better, then a simple pairs trade that plays this ratio is to sell gold and buy silver. (A pairs trade is when you buy one asset and short another, with the expectation that the one you are buying will outperform the other. It means that the price of both assets can fall, but you'll still make money as long as the one you are short falls harder and faster than the one you are long). But unless you're already au fait with the workings of spread betting, I wouldn't start with this.
If you are feeling greedy and impatient, miners are the place to be. But I'd be wary in the short term. By some readings, the miners are now even more overbought than they were in 2011.
If you want to buy physical silver, our friends in Dublin, the precious metals dealers GoldCore, have a new scheme whereby you can buy silver coins VAT-free. They'll also, as most dealers will, buy your gold. Other ways to buy silver online include BullionVault and GoldMoney.
And if you own gold via an ETF and want to play this trade, sell it and use the proceeds to buy the London-listed exchange-traded fund, ETFS Securities Physical Silver (LSE: PHAG). Then, ignore the volatility – there will be lots – and wait for the ratio to fall back into the gold zone.

Thrown to the waves, and to fate, the bottle could have ended up anywhere. Instead, it is found just three weeks after it begins its journey. Theresa Osborne, divorced and the mother of a twelve-year-old son, discovers it during a seaside vacation from her job as a Boston newspaper columnist. Inside is a letter that opens with, "My Dearest Catherine, I miss you my darling, as I always do, but today is particularly hard because the ocean has been singing to me, and the song is that of our life together." For Garrett, the message is the only way he knows to express his undying love for a woman he has lost. For Theresa, wary of romance since her husband shattered her trust, the message raises questions that intrigue her. Challenged by the mystery, and driven to find Garrett by emotions she does not fully understand, Theresa begins a search that takes her to a sunlit coastal town and an unexpected confrontation. Brought together either by chance or something more powerful, Theresa and Garrett's lives come together in a tale that resonates with our deepest hopes for finding everlasting love. Shimmering with suspense and emotional intensity.

I have read many Nicholas Sparks books and truly loved them, but this one I didn't like as much. I loved the whole story except the ending. I know he has sad stories, but this one was not just sad it was also aggravating. The story has a great body, but not a good closing. This book is a book that stays on your mind no matter what.

Welcome to R1 - The Smartest Giants!
On Friday the Reception children went to Forest School to put the tadpoles and frogs back into the pond. The children have been watching the tadpoles grow and change for a couple of months. We all knew we had to be very careful with them and walked slowly to Forest School. The children helped do a countdown to release the tadpoles and frogs into the pond. When we came back to our classroom James said, 'we put them back home'. Ellis said,' I loved that, it was fun'.
Lonely, Great, Twinkle, Stable, Caretaker
Reception have been learning about the people who help them at home, in school and the wider community.
We have had visits from our Caretakers in School, the local Police and a Paramedic (Who was off duty and in-between night shifts…huge thank you!)
We were lucky enough to try on their uniforms and try the tools and resources they use to help us.

Application integration expert Linthicum on cloud computing
Governance is the foundation for cloud computing trust and reliability. Learn how to implement governance to improve the reliability and trust of cloud computing services.
In order for cloud computing to live up to its many promises, analysts say it is essential that it operate within governance practices that are connected to the enterprise and that make those cloud-based services reliable and trustworthy.
David Linthicum, chief technology officer at Bick Group, a consulting firm that focuses on cloud computing as an element in improving data center efficiency, offered some thoughts on how to overcome the governance shortfall. For starters, says Linthicum, don't expect to do governance on the cheap. "Governance is expensive – a good 20 percent of your budget may need to be spent on getting it right," he says.
For example, it is important to understand service dependencies. Service dependencies are what's involved when various services are coupled together. If you are creating a composite application out of many services, then those services are dependent on each other, notes Linthicum. Likewise, if there are service dependencies within an existing architecture they must be known to the governance structure. If anything in the system changes all the dependencies must be known to the person making the changes.
"We are talking both inside and outside the organization," warns Linthicum. "My view of the world and the whole SOA and cloud conversation is really about extending your architecture to the cloud," he explains. But what does that mean? Are you creating a hybrid? Is it public or private? In any of those scenarios, you may have unrecognized dependencies. For example, he notes, many companies are leveraging SalesForce.com within their applications, creating an unacknowledged dependency. "That is something on the public cloud, a software-as-a-service, and people have internal enterprise applications depending on those things," he says.
One way to begin to address these challenges is by establishing service policies. Service policies are rules that describe how services are accessed as well as how you are informed of changes and how others are using the services, explain Linthicum. "If you aren't careful about these things you can bring down a business… you need to create sophisticated and complex architectures and policies written around services so you know how to maintain and operate services over time," says Linthicum.
You need the ability to look at services to make sure they are alive, healthy and working together, because if just one service goes down, it can bring down the other services and applications that are dependent on it. "The world of cloud makes that even more complex because in many instances we are governing services that we don't own but we still somehow must control and understand," says Linthicum.
Governance software is a good place to start, says Linthicum. Such products can provide either design-time service governance or run-time governance. "The difference is that design time is how you are going to do it – you define it. Run time, which has been emphasized more in the last few years, is where you just do it," and monitor what happens, says Linthicum.
Linthicum says that with few exceptions, implementing cloud services without governance will inevitably lead to failure unless you are working with an extremely simple architecture. "I haven't seen anyone succeed without governance," he says. Linthicum recommends leveraging run-time governance to track your services and automate the monitoring of those services.
Then, of course, there are the external realities that compel good governance – in particular, regulation. "You need have governance to stay within the bounds of law, and you would typically do that through a governance infrastructure by setting policies relative to things like HIPAA and Sarbox, and by providing monitoring and some security requirements," says Linthicum.
More often than not, says Linthicum, these issues are dealt with as afterthoughts when, in fact, they should be designed into a cloud-SOA solution from the start. "So that means on a cloud project that I run, I always have a governance person and sometimes a team. It must be built in because it is hard to retrofit," he adds.
Longer term, Linthicum predicts that as cloud becomes more popular cloud providers will learn how to govern their own services. "It is clear to me that it is going to be on their roadmaps going forward; Amazon already provides rudimentary governance capacity now. Rackspace.com, Gogrid.com and Salesforce.com are either "building their way toward that or buying their way toward that," he adds.
Linthicum emphasizes that there is a tipping point where suddenly it all gets hard to manage, and you can get there pretty quickly, says Linthicum. "It is the Wild West right now, and when organizations hit that magical number of around 500 services they find that things become unstable and the system gets bad PR," he says. As a result, users don't want to use the services, and when the services are "repaired" they become unwieldy because governance and security wasn't planned into them. "Then you end up with what we call JBOWS -- just a bunch of web services," he says.

If you've got even a modicum of grilling experience under your belt, then you know it only takes a few moments of inattention to totally ruin a good cut of meat. In my opinion, one of the best tools you can have aside from experience is a meat thermometer.
The problem is that they're unwieldy sometimes and don't give the most accurate read out depending on what model you buy. It's why Apption Labs recently launched their version of the modern meat thermometer, Meater, onto Kickstarter.
Meater is a fully wireless, smart thermometer that connects directly with a native iOS or Android app across all your devices. Simply open the Meater app, select the target cook, place the probe in the meat, and get cooking: when your food reaches the correct internal temperature, you'll receive a notification on your device.
The construction of Meater's thermometer hardware itself has been designed to withstand the highest internal meat temperatures. Regardless, it was built with a fail safe to provide a warning to the user should the meat begin to approach its limit.
Further, Meater has an ambient sensor located on the opposite end of the thermometer probe that allows users to monitor the ambient temperature around the food. This works well for smoking meats or long BBQ roasts because both of these situations demand strict attention be paid to the external temperature of the environment, not the internal meat temperature.
Everything Apption Labs built fits neatly into the Meater Block, a piece of actual wood that both stores and chargers up to four Meater probes at once. The block also has a built in display so you don't actually need to use your own mobile devices while cooking: you could say it's a solid fusion of modern aesthetic design with a heavy dose of technology embedded.
"The cost of Meater and two store bought steaks is less than the cost of one visit to a high-end steak house," says Joseph Cruz, President at Apption Labs. "Once you own Meater, you can enjoy a restaurant quality meal at home, at the fraction of the cost."
While the crew was only looking to fund Meater to the $100,000 mark, they're standing on the brink of $1 million in total backer-funding at this point. That's going to go a long way towards helping the team with the production tooling, their pilot run, production run, and the ultimate delivery to backers in January 2016.

I recently came across a Robin Williams quote and it left me wanting more. I wanted more of his insight and wisdom. I wanted more of what he had to offer the world. I wanted to wait until today to post this in honor of him. ❤
The quote that started all of this was; "No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world."
This made me think of my ultimate goal of helping women with their postpartum struggles. If my words, insight, empathy, and encouragement can change the world for one woman I will feel like I've done my job. I will feel like I've left a positive impact on this world. This quote, in particular, reminded me that I am capable of making the world a better place. Each and every one of us is capable of making the world better.
So if you're feeling like you need a little pick me up, or if you need some inspiration, or just some laughs read these great Robin Williams quotes I found. ❤
"You will have bad times, but they will always wake you up to the stuff you weren't paying attention to."
"Comedy is acting out optimism."
"Good people end up in Hell because they can't forgive themselves."
"Never pick a fight with an ugly person, they've got nothing to lose."
"You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it."
"Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love: these are what we stay alive for."
"I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone."
"I'm sorry, if you were right, I'd agree with you."
"Do I perform sometimes in a manic style? Yes. Am I manic all the time? No. Do I get sad? Oh yeah. Does it hit me hard? Oh yeah."
"Reality is just a crutch for people who can't cope with drugs."
And a few of my favorites:
"Please, don't worry so much. Because in the end, none of us have very long on this Earth. Life is fleeting."

(Here's the deal. . . this space is in transition. My faith got a little wonky for a while. It fell apart. It got dark. And now it's being pieced back together… in a beautiful, messy, hope-filled, still-struggling kind of way.
So what does that mean for this blog?
It's in the process of being updated. I want this space to be safe and restorative without one iota of condemning and soul-crushing.
Below is my vision for this space.)
- the burnt-out, soul-weary
- the ones seeking more Spirit, more wholeness, and more life here—right now—today
- those who love Jesus but question the institutions that separate, silence, and use their power to lift themselves up and shove others down
- a message of hope, love, and acceptance (even in times of doubt and questioning)
- a call to live fully—wherever you are
- an invitation to dive into what makes you come alive
- an appeal to experience Spirit and rest and joy
- a place where it's ok (and even welcomed) to wrestle and not be "right"
- through vulnerably sharing my own journey and what I'm learning along the way
- here, in this space
- soon through email, too
- someday on social media
- if you want to connect, I'm most active on Instagram (for now)

David Akselrod
Artist Statement
My art is collection of ink and watercolour artworks that are illustrative, whimsical and vibrantly colourful. The work reflects upon a world that is full of excitement, danger and youthful spirit. I find inspiration from my daily life performing as a musician and a busker or painting at a studio space in town.
I am a dedicated illustrator. I enjoy the long process of drawing, sketching and capturing emotion or personality on my slate. Through the method of ink and watercolour, I am able to express myself with free moving lines layered with a colourful meld of brushed strokes. Each painting becomes a fascinating memory or a small humorous narrative that invites and welcomes the viewer in.
David Akselrod is a Vancouver based artist, animator and musician. David graduated from Emily Carr Institute of Art, Design and Media in 2007, earning a Bachelor of Media Arts. David's art draws upon themes of childhood memories, dreams and his musical experiences.
After graduating, David had his animated short film 'Malaise' screened at various film festivals in the U.S. and South Africa, performing as a guitarist and working on book and CD cover illustration

Campus Prodigies -- 6 Pre-Teen College Graduates
One University of Memphis student is never on campus without his parents. This isn't because Arun Jambulapati has been coddled into an extended adolescence. Jambulapati hasn't even reached adolescence. He's 12 years old.
Jambulapati began taking classes at the university -- along with his middle school curriculum -- when he was just 10, reports WMC-TV. After he proved his maturity and intellectual prowess, university officials allowed him to enroll full-time, although he lacked a few of the requirements for normal admission, like a high school diploma, or a fifth grade education.
The prodigy is now a junior, who hopes to graduate with a bachelor's degree in mathematical sciences and economics.
Jambulapati will probably graduate in his low teens, which means he doesn't enter the incredibly exclusive club of children who have received a college degree before their 13th birthday.
1. Adragon De Mello
In 1988, De Mello broke a world record when he graduated from University of California, Santa Cruz, with a degree in mathematics at age 11. De Mello's father, Agustin De Mello, took on the boy's education as his full-time job, called him a genius on "60 Minutes" when his son was just 10, hoped that he would "follow in the steps of Da Vinci or Einstein," and wanted him to earn a Nobel Prize before his 16th birthday.
Agustin De Mello's obsessive parenting caused great grief for the whole family. The parents separated, the boy's mother went into hiding, and for a spell he was put into foster care. After graduating from college, Adragon De Mello enrolled in junior high under a fake name and joined Little League.
"I had enough," A 23-year-old De Mello recalled on "60 Minutes." "I didn't want to go through it anymore."
2. Michael Kearney
Kearney broke De Mello's record in 1994, when he graduated from high school at age 6, from junior college at 8, and from the University of South Alabama at 10 with a degree in anthropology.
Unlike De Mello, Kearney did not slow down. He completed his master's degree in biochemistry at 14, with a thesis titled, "Kinetic Isotope Effects of Thymidine Phosphorylase." He began teaching at Vanderbilt University two years later, and received his second master's degree in computer science before he reached voting age.
By 21, Kearney had four undergraduate degrees and was completing his doctorate in chemistry. "Most people, they get into school when they're 6, and they get out of school around 22, 23," he told ABC. "That's what I'm going to do. But I just happened to be in college the entire time."
In the fall of 2006, Kearney won $1,000,000 on AOL's scavenger hunt game "Gold Rush."
3. Sho Yono
Sho Yono scored a 1500 out of 1600 on the SATs at age 8, and went off to Loyola University Chicago the next year. He graduated summa cum laude at 12, and completed his PhD in molecular genetics and cell biology when he was 18. His IQ is off the charts.
As a child, the worst punishment his parents could give him was refusing to let him read for a day.
Yono's sister, Sayuri, graduated from university last year at age 13.
6. Moshe Kai Cavalin
The 13-year-old is currently on a book tour, promoting a guide to success that's already a bestseller in Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia. Cavalin knows a thing or two about success. He graduated East Los Angeles Community College at age 11 with an associate in science degree in astrophysics and a 4.0 GPA. He plans to finish his mathematics studies at UCLA next year. Oh, and he's also a potential Olympic contender in martial arts.

I met my husband one year ago. For the first time.
We've been married for 3-1/2 months now.
September 26th I remember it so well. I was an independent girl, working full-time as a freelance writer in the midst of a big project and pursuing other dreams on the side (starting a flower business and my personal blog) while giving myself to others (a few big families I nannied for). I was busy, life was full and my heart was overflowing- besides a dream I had put on hold for many years, patiently waiting for, but totally out of my control.
Wayne popped up out of nowhere a couple weeks before, when he contacted me (he found my blog and lost his heart ;p ). Although he grew up in the same town I attended high school in, I had never met him, and he was in West Virginia at that time. He looked interesting, different, perfect; maybe. But I didn't know him, never seen him. I threw myself into a ball of anxiety in the week from the time he asked me out for coffee. By Friday night, I had convinced myself that he wasn't the one and my heart was broken already at the stress of starting and ending another relationship. I let it all out on a trip for ice cream with Dad and he tried hard to tell me not to worry. It's just coffee. Just have fun, Shyla! – I can hear him now. :)
Wayne and I went out for coffee again this morning to remember. And it all came back to me. Pulling in, I saw him sitting in his black truck and almost knew right away – all my guards fell down. He came around, in such an approachable way, opened his arms to me for a hug like it was second nature (unlike an Amish boy ;) and we went in for coffee. Besides his kind, gentle nature and the way he listened and asked questions- what I remember the most was him, in his light gray Kaufman shirt, and the tenderness in his steel-gray eyes. There was a world of history there, one I could relate to and be understood by. This was it.
It was all over after that. I had no idea how my life would change, but it happened fast and wonderfully. We had some of the most wonderful experiences in those first months, falling in love… I remember the first date and walk under the stars, the meet halfway at Seneca Lake, the hike and promise at Cuyahoga Falls, my first time to West Virginia and a stop at Mark & Noreen's, our road-trip that ended up in Bethany Beach, Delaware… it was a dream.
Then the holiday's started, we spent most of our time integrating ourselves with family and friends…and talk of marriage started. We booked a winter trip to Hocking Hills, where Wayne asked me to marry him… I said yes, we planned our wedding in four months and here we are – in West Virginia, I'm a wife and we've been married for three months.
I barely remember being a single girl. Everything changed after that Monday morning coffee at 8am in Sugarcreek, Ohio and I had no control over it.
If you're hoping to fall in love, make sure you're ready because there's no turning back. Haha – just kidding. God knows the PERFECT time and you'll be ready. This is my advice: live to the fullest, whoever you are, wherever you are and whatever you're waiting for. And never live like your waiting. Pursue another dream while you're waiting on one.
As I looked into his steel gray eyes again this morning, I fell in love again. He is just as incredibly tender and more precious to me than I could've ever imagined. Being married is such a wonderful thing, the best way to be with another, and the purest, most beautiful gift from the Lord.
I can't say that being single was less, I was just as happy. God gives us grace wherever we are at. I pray that you find the peak of happiness just where you are and that we all lack just enough to long for heaven.

Before I go into how great these grips are and how much they can improve both setup & alignment let me give my personal take on the oversized jumbo grips. I can't tell you how many oversized putter grips that I install just to have the customer come back a week or two later to have them removed. The premise makes sense-the larger grips helps to restrict excessive wrist movement during the stroke. Problem is they restrict many other things most importantly feel. The excessive size & weight also works against the putter weight & counterbalance. If your putting that bad just come to me and buy a new putter-kidding!
Now for the good stuff – The Garsen Putter Grip.
Bernard has been hard at work on tour promotting this grip which is in the hands of numerous touring pro's and it is only a matter of time until you see a tour win which will blow the lid off and the secret will be out. The grip is traditional in size (although midsize will soon be available) but has a unique two sided v shape design which makes the golfer use a very unusual but technically superior grip (you grip the putter with your thumbs being aligned side by side). Hard to explain so wait for the pics next week.
Because of the unique 2 sided design, this places the hands into a neutral position which eliminates wrist breakdown. This turns the elbows into the body and sets up a relaxed position which leads to a much more RELAXED setup.
Bernard has been hard at work getting his grip to market and due to his exacting tolerances will be producing these grips in the good ole U.S.A utilizing the latest polymers for ultimate feel and feedback.
These are now avaliable in our new online store
About Andrew Hodson
I am the youngest with in a golfing family which has spanned three generations. My grandfather started the tradition in England (Bert Hodson-1931 Ryder Cup Team) and has since passed on his knowledge and love of the game. Although I did not follow in the steps of my father and grandfather on a professional golfing level, my love of the game and commitment to accurately fit equipment has only grown. Even as a kid I enjoyed re-gripping clubs which eventually led to refinishing wood heads, re-shafting, and now has culminated in more detailed custom club fitting, building, and repair.

What we learned from the Kings' 3-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday:
1. When the Kings' big, mobile forwards go to the net, they're hard to stop.
The Kings scored two of their three goals from around the net: Trevor Lewis was in front and battling for the puck on their second goal, moving it from his skate to his stick to get it past Cam Ward, and Tanner Pearson batted the puck out of midair from deep on the right side after a shot by Mike Richards had struck Ward in the shoulder.
"We had a hard time handling their size and strength on the walls," Carolina Coach Bill Peters said. "They wore us out in the D-zone. They were a heavy team in the offensive zone and we spent too much time in there [Thursday] night."
2. Their defensemen have found ways to become catalysts offensively, a big boost.
Against Florida on Tuesday, each of the Kings' six defensemen recorded at least one point. On Thursday, only Drew Doughty and Jake Muzzin made it onto the score sheet with assists, but in each case they made smart, crucial plays.
They're no slouches defensively either. Matt Greene played a season-high 23 minutes and 16 seconds on Thursday and was credited with two shots, one hit and two blocked shots. Doughty played "only" 25:10, nearly six minutes fewer than he had played against Florida, and seven minutes fewer than he played against the Ducks in the Kings' previous game. Coach Darryl Sutter had said he was forced to use Doughty more than he'd like, because of the suspension to Slava Voynov and Alec Martinez's finger injury. Doughty on Thursday got his lightest load since the fourth game of the season, when he played 22:39.
3. The Kings still have a deep well of the resilience that was their backbone last season.
Just look at their defense. They lost Voynov to a suspension after their sixth game this season, had to wait until their seventh game for Muzzin to recover from an injury and make his season debut, have been without Martinez the last three games, and played three games without an injured Robyn Regehr. And still they're third in the tough Pacific division and are tied for the third-most points in the Western Conference with 26.
The team that faced seven elimination games during last spring's Stanley Cup playoff run isn't easily intimidated. There will be slumps and scoring droughts and winning streaks along the way, and the Kings' decision not to buy out Mike Richards when they had the chance is still open for debate. But despite a series of obstacles, the Kings remain in good shape for another long run this spring.

People who take things into their own hands and try to operate outside the institutional grid deserve our gratitude. So hats off to the organizers of "Greater LA," a sprawling survey of recent art from Los Angeles arrayed in an immense, unrepentantly raw SoHo loft. It represents a tremendous effort on the part of three temporarily allied art professionals: Benjamin Godsill, a curator moonlighting from the New Museum; Joel Mesler, a partner in Untitled, an art gallery on the Lower East Side who began his art-dealing career in Los Angeles; and Eleanor Cayre, a New York collector and consultant who organized "The Station," a large group show in Miami during the Basel Miami art fair in 2008.
The curators have selected a title that nervily echoes "Greater New York," the messy survey of young local talent that MoMA PS 1 has mustered at five-year intervals since 2000. They have assembled more than 100 works by nearly 50 artists in painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, collage, film and video, and installation art. But the show comes off as a stew with too many cooks who never quite decided what they were making.
The opening wall text deplores the "second fiddle" status of Los Angeles to New York as an art scene, which seems a bit melodramatic. Fantastic artists have been emanating from Southern California for decades, as the 30-plus exhibitions of Pacific Standard Time, a multimuseum extravaganza beginning this fall in the Los Angeles region, will attest.
I would venture that New York long ago accepted it as an equal in the production of art, and that New Yorkers may even suspect that on a per-capita basis, Los Angeles harbors more good artists than New York does. New York has an edge in terms of sceny-ness because it has more galleries, but also because of prevailing urban conditions: density, a smaller movie industry, an encompassing subway system.
Basically this show seems to have blinked when it came to the risk of showing New York something it didn't already know. It chose to concentrate on Los Angeles artists who are already familiar here, rather than treating us — in the spirit of "Greater New York" — to a display of work by younger or relatively unknown artists. As a result, while large and ambitious, it represents a missed opportunity.Continue reading the main story
Most of the artists here are under 40, which is not old, but too many of them have had two or more solo shows in New York galleries or been included in Whitney Biennials. Sterling Ruby, Mark Grotjahn, Karl Haendel, Alex Prager, Jonas Wood, Matt Johnson, Carter Mull, Jason Meadows and Pae White seem especially overexposed for this exercise, and often contribute to its status-quo feeling. So do several other familiar, less stellar talents, among them Skip Arnold, Andrea Bowers, Dennis Hollingsworth, Kaz Oshiro and Kori Newkirk.
And regardless of the stature of the artists, the selections often feel slight and cryptic; they don't give you enough to go on, a chronic problem with large group shows. Mr. Oshiro is represented by a negligible single painting. Mr. Grotjahn, who has an excellent exhibition at the Anton Kern Gallery, contributes three small drawings and three boxy masks and barely makes a dent.
The immense stack of bulky beams by Mr. Ruby — covered in yellow Formica that has been scuffed, spray-painted and carved with the words "cry" and "cop" — is clearly intended to be one of the show's centerpieces. It comments sardonically on Minimalism and its often baleful derivatives, among them anonymous geometric public art, and also conjures urban neglect, but it provides a rather scant notion of Mr. Ruby's considerable talent. A group of his gnarly, oozing ceramics pieces would have been more vivid and helped cut down on the show's general dryness.
Occasionally, better-known artists surprise. Eric Wesley's mysterious two-part work consisting of a bronze sculpture that looks like the outer shell of its plaster cast, displayed nearby, is probably the best work he has ever shown in New York. The same goes for the three uncharacteristically restrained pale paintings, two involving strips of torn canvas, contributed by Matt Chambers.
Justin Lowe, who last made a splash with an immense installation called "Black Acid Co-op" (made with Jonah Freeman) at Deitch Projects in 2009, is back with weirdly assertive little collages made from the often lurid covers of paperback books. And Anna Sew Hoy continues to make intriguing objects out of almost nothing — bits of cloth and metal — and some hand-built ceramic. Patrick Jackson's "City Unborn (gold)," a precariously elegant arrangement of found and made objects on glass shelves, is from 2008, but it is better than most of the works that were in his debut at the Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery in Chelsea last fall.
For the most part, the show's energy comes from the relatively few younger or lesser known artists that are included. Some of them make work that could only be made in Los Angeles, including Melanie Schiff's lush color photographs of the city's largely dry, extravagantly graffitied aqueducts. Drew Heitzler evokes a bygone Hollywood innocence with dreamlike projections of appropriated films that feature the actors Dennis Hopper, Warren Beatty, Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson as almost shockingly beautiful, untouched young men.
Joe Deutch's tension-filled five-minute video "Boot, Re-Boot," shows him brazenly attaching an automobile boot to a police cruiser in broad daylight on a Los Angeles street, extending the tradition of incendiary performance works initiated some 30 years ago in Southern California by Chris Burden. Nearby an inexplicably touching video by Melodie Mousset gives a violent subject — stoning — a happy ending through the use of a kind of reverse pantomime: the artist is shown with stones held to her head by elastic bands while white-gloved hands appear and cut them off, one by one.
Alex Israel's installation "Property," consists of found objects that form a kind of tawdry sculptural rebus about the pursuit of physical perfection by evoking the body, gyms, medicine and illicit sex. A label adds a Los Angeles slant by informing us that the assembled items have been rented from a prop house where they will be returned once the show closes.
Aaron Wrinkle contributes a completely hapless painting, but also presents documentation about the short busy life of a small gallery that he instigated and named for the Post-Minimalist artist Dan Graham, who also briefly had a gallery in New York some 40 years ago. Shoe-horned into a large closet, the intriguing display includes a wall-mounted wood file of material that might almost be a Graham sculpture and a small dark abstraction by Peter Demos, one of several artists who exhibited at Dan Graham.
Both Brian Kennon and Matt Lipps are finding new things to do with various blurrings of set-up and re-photography, making smart, visually arresting art-about-art that relates to the work of East Coast artists like Sara VanDerBeek and Anne Collier. And Olga Koumoundouros brings new life to the tired found-object formula, combining using a classic Eames lounge chair and ottoman, a Brancusi-like column of Himalayan salt lamps and a bit of spray paint to funkily totemic effect.
Organizing large group shows is often tantamount to herding cats. This one gives every sign of having gotten away from its organizers. But if their effort disappoints, it also gets an important ball rolling. Ideally, regular updates on new developments from Los Angeles should be a part of the New York exhibition diet, and vice versa. It would help art on both coasts.
An art review on Wednesday about "Greater LA," at 483 Broadway in Manhattan, misidentified the city where an organizer of the show, Eleanor Cayre, is based. It is New York, not Los Angeles.

How to Get to Yoga
The Buddy System (TBS)
Sometimes just knowing your BFF will be sweating it out at the mat next to you is enough to get you there out of the house and into the studio. Other times (like with the sunrise classes), TBS may be the only thing that gets you out of bed. So, my people, get a buddy and get into d-dog stat.
Mark Your Calendar
Most of us stay fairly scheduled- with work, families, commitments etc. So, no matter how far ahead you plan, add classes to your calendar. Not only does it have a "to-do list" effect (I wrote it down, therefore now I must do it because checking off a box feels oh-so-good), adding a class to your calendar is setting an intention and making a commitment. Then all you have to do is follow through and make it happen!
It can also help you prioritize your day when other appointments come up. I don't know 'bout you, but when I can plan something around a yoga class, it's a win.
Get a Membership
Number crunchers unite! When you are paying by the month for unlimited classes, the more you go, the better value it is (that's the point after all). So, get a membership and give yourself a pass to practice whenever you want and as much as you can.
Pro Tip- WVPY is running a special this month only: unlimited classes for $72 per month for a 6 month commitment! For real, you need to come approx 1.5 times per week to make that the best value. Come 3x per week? You're only paying $6 per class. Not to mention membership perks like discounts on retail and workshops. But I digress....
A membership gives you access without counting punches and purchasing classes again and again. And with all that extra cash, just think of how many kombuchas you can buy.
