2012 Atlanta Motor Speedway Friday Night Drags Champions Crowned
With several points races still up for grabs entering week 16 of Atlanta Motor Speedway's Friday Night Drags & Show-N-Shine, the drag racing promised to be intense and dramatic all night long. The build-up did not disappoint, as each pass down the pit lane drag strip helped determine the overall points champion for the season.
The drama started early on for the Super Pro division, as practice runs at the start of the evening played a major role in the night's activities. Points leader Mark White of McDonough entered the night two points ahead in the standings, but suffered a mechanical failure in practice that precluded him from competing in elimination rounds. That opened the door for second place Mike Herring of Conyers, who clinched the championship in the second round of racing and went on to claim the victory, his second of the year.
The Pro division also entered the night as another close battle, as McDonough's David Craft held a three point lead over Fayetteville resident David Sisk. Craft defeated Sisk in early round competition, awarding him the championship. Craft would not stop there, gaining for a clean sweep of the evening's action by topping Jonesboro's Billy Clevenger in the final round. It was Craft's fifth win of the season, all in consecutive events.
And while he couldn't bring home the championship, Stockbridge's Chuck Poole backed up his runner-up finish in the season standings with a final round win over the season champion, McDonough resident Will Coots. Poole claimed his third win of the year by beating Coots to the finish line.
The 2012 Friday Night Drags points champions include: Mike Herring of Conyers (Super Pro), David Craft of McDonough (Pro), Daryl Stiles of Williamson (Street Outlaw), Vic Vickers of McDonough (Sportsman), Will Coots of McDonough (Truck Advanced), Dwayne Bethune of Covington (Diesel Truck), Allen Gaddis of Molina (Truck), Terry Bates of Locust Grove (Domestic Advanced), Kelly Morgan of Jonesboro (Papa John's Pizza Domestic), Bobby Bramblett of Loganville (Tuner), Lamar Chambers of Griffin (Sport Compact), Justin Wooten of Zebulon (ATV), Toney Freeman of Stockbridge (Super Bike), Joshua Jones of Riverdale (Sport Bike), AJ White of Riverdale (Street Motorcycle), Jacob Turner of Griffin (Cruiser/Dirt Bike) and Kyle Cumpton of Snellville (Street Modified).

A survey by Lloyds TSB found that "second steppers", those who have a first home to sell and who want to move up the ladder, are increasingly stuck in unsuitable accommodation. Many bought at the peak of the market in 2007, and may have negative equity to cope with as well as a lack of buyers and difficulty meeting moving costs.
The figures show that the majority of these would-be movers have been stuck on the property ladder for 12 months. Some will have had children in the intervening time and feel that they are stuck in unsuitable accommodation. One in five of them now believes that it is harder to move up the housing ladder than to get on it in the first place.
According to Lloyds TSB's report, almost two thirds (61pc) of second steppers have wanted to climb up the ladder in the past 12 months but have been unable to do so as they face an increasing number of challenges. More than one in five (22pc) believe it is now harder to move up the ladder than get on it in the first place, with almost half (43pc) also feeling it will be as equally difficult.
"First-time sellers are now faced with some very tough challenges when trying to make their next move on the property ladder and many are finding it more difficult than getting on the ladder in the first place," said Stephen Noakes, mortgage director of Lloyds TSB. "It is vital that this group of home movers receive more support and attention as they play an intrinsic role in getting the housing market moving again."
A recent study by HSBC also found that as many as 360,000 home owners are unable to move up the property ladder thanks to a combination of sliding house prices and more restrictive lending rules.
Those who bought properties in 2007 before the housing crash do not now have sufficient equity in their homes to trade up to larger properties, according to new research by HSBC.
Although most are not yet in negative equity, they do not hold enough of their home's value to cover the required 10pc deposit on a new property and pay associated moving costs, such as stamp duty, agent fees and legal expenses. The problem has been exacerbated because the price of many "first time" properties has fallen faster than the rest of the housing market.
Demand from first time buyers has waned since lenders pulled out of the 100pc mortgage market. Lenders now require buyers to put down at least a 10pc deposit, and even then these borrowers will be charged a higher mortgage interest rate than those borrowing 75pc of a property's value.
Peter Dockar, the head of mortgages at HSBC, said: "Those who have bought their first home can no longer rely on rising house prices to provide them with the deposit they need for their second."

Catching up on Mail Art and more.
I hadn't made any for a few days and I was missing it so I popped into my studio last night and set out some collages.
Minimal Mail Art returns! yay.
I made this piece specifically for a request for a piece of Mail Art for a friend of a person in the Mail Art union. I hope it cheered him up.
This is an odd photo of my grand. That's her looking up at us from the tray. I'd received a baby head Mail Art from Stephanie (mail art friend) last year. I gave it to Z this autumn and she loved it. We made one with her face, laminated it, and gave it to her. She now carries around both of these BABEES. She loves them. I may have mentioned this before, forgive me if I'm repeating myself.
It's that time of year again, Slow Art Day 2014, which takes place on 12 April this year. I'll be hosting again at VMFA. If you're interested in attending, register HERE.

Mail Art time! + more
I wasn't able to figure out how to get the images in the order I wanted them, oh well.
Here's the ball of yarn that came in a hank.
I got it as my favorite yarn shop was going out of business and I was stocking up on yarn.
Here's what I'm making with it. A scarf! And I'm using a pattern that I wouldn't have tired had I not been taking a knitting class. I'm so excited that I've moved beyond mere knitting and pearling.
This is Jan, who's in my knitting class, spinning my hank into the ball for me. She's using devices called a swift and a winder. Someday I might get these. They sure speed things up.
Here the little musician is entertaining the fish, or just finding a private spot to entertain herself.
I think Rosette has chosen a bad place to sell her flowers. Not much traffic. On the positive side, she has no competition.

Being a Maker
I have lots of vintage linen dish towels with the plan to make them into little bags.
Here's what the most recent ones look like.
A Maker has to make, anything, something, always. I first heard the term Maker at a ceramics gallery in London in 2011. The woman explained that it's the term that is being used now for crafts people. I loved it. It's so encompassing. When I returned home, I had a new rubber stamp made - Maker in Residence USA, replacing my Artist in Residence stamp. I'm hearing this word a lot now and am happy that it's become THE word. Maybe you'll use it, if you don't already, to describe yourself.
My sister had sent me a souvenir towel from a trip she'd made to Spain many years ago. I was able to make 3 bags from the towel, one of which went to her. This one from the center area with the figures is the one I sent her.
Here are the other two bags plus a few of my purses for change made from a vintage linen napkin. I gave my Spanish teacher friend the one that "says" ESP (on the front) and AÑA (on the reverse.) This was the only way to get the design on the bag and it makes me laugh. My friend liked it very much.
Here's Bizoo, He love sleeping on the radiator in my studio, tucking himself under the shelf. The little figure behind him is watching him!
I have to share our grand girl with you. She looks older than her 11 months, with the fluffy jacket we got for her, and which she likes a lot. She's holding her "baby head" which was a piece of Mail Art that I received from someone. It's laminated and was sent through the mail just like that - Zinn even likes the reverse with the postage stamps on it. She says Baby very clearly. Bay-bee! Okay, so we're smitten.

Hearts, Love, Mail Art, and Valentines, VA.
Keith Long's wood sculptures. I make myself laugh when I do these alteration. I hope the artist in Marseille will get a smile, at least.
This is for Clyde, my letter carrier most excellent! He's leaving us after 18 years on this route, going to an easier one so he can make it 8 more years to retirement. We will soooo miss him.
|photo by Bill Tiernan, Virginia-Pilot 2011
There's a little post office in Virginia, in a place called Valentines, that gets inundated with mail this time of year. The rest of the year, not so much. A few days ago, an article appeared in our newspaper telling about how it's at risk of having reduced hours and maybe even being closed. Lots of rural post offices are in the same situation.
Here's a photo of it that I found on-line. Actually, this is a little store with the post office inside it. You can read about it here. If you feel like sending a postcard of support, you can mail it to Kathy Fajna, Postmaster, Valentines, VA 23887 - maybe an influx of mail year round will help.
And if you are really interested in Post Offices, check out THIS blog.

Mail Art and more
I took out a small drawer of scraps and looked through it for some ideas.
This is the result and I"m quite pleased with my output. It's getting me back to some fundamentals of design.
And I like that.
I thought it might snow, but it didn't. Snow is, however, predicted for Wednesday. We shall see.
I think the gloomy exterior prompted me to work with bright yarn. I finished up a pair of mitts with these colors today. Another satisfying project completed.

A few things about today.
My new pink and red mailbox is a pequeno regalo from N. today.
A nice reminder to put things in the Mail and a tidy place for some of my new postage stamps.
I've got a few more cards to alter but I'm spending a bit of thinking time on what I might do for a new series. More on that soon.
Here's Bizoo checking out the non-activity in our back yard. It's a very wintery garden, not many plants still alive, and our beautiful tree cut back so much that it looks like it'll never bloom again. Oh dear.
Bizoo got very sleepy being the studio cat. A big yawn to show us how tired he got guarding the packing plastic.
Our grand came to visit today but we were too busy with her to grab a photo. Z was very interested in Bizoo who was hesitant but curious about her.
Since we don't have a photo of Z from today's visit, I'll show you Z at Stella's with Katrina in the kitchen. Stella's is our fave Greek restaurant.
We're hoping that she'd leave there with the recipe for galactoboureka!
I was the mentor for the month of January for the International Union of Mail Artists. This is the welcome image that I created for it, using one of my collage images. I continue to welcome people as they join. It's become a practice.

Productivity! for UncustoMary's query.
Mary, of Uncustomary, has once again asked us to participate in a group theme.
When I was a younger person, I used to say "Someday, I'm going to get organized." My mother would say, in effect, don't count on it. Now that strikes me as so funny but at the time all I could think about is that if I were organized I'd be so much more productive.
What the heck is productivity, anyway? What does it mean, to me, to my mother back in the day, to you?
As a person who makes something everyday, I'm being productive, I'm producing something but nowadays it can be something small - like adhering a little vintage figure to a commercial postcard to alter it.
The Alternative Speakers Bureau, of which I'm a part, and uses it as a mantra, then productivity is not an issue.
What keeps one from productivity to my thinking, is the belief that what one produces has to be perfect - whether an object or an event or an idea for something.
Just make something every day, a small thing, make it a practice, and over a time you'll find yourself being productive, if that's what you want.

'Bacon bacon bacon, everybody loves bacon, there aint' no mistakin', that premium quality bacon'.
My Irish girlfriend loves a fry up, or as she calls it, a 'fry'. We have a well tried and thoroughly tested routine; get up, walk to Quinton's butchers, listen to one of Mike Quinton's invariably rude jokes, walk home with original sausages, smoked back bacon that goes deliciously crispy under the grill and a piece of award winning black pudding; all for less than £3. Having such quality breakfast ingredients on offer just around the corner, I have high breakfast standards!
On Sunday we went for breakfast in Town to meet up with some of Annabel's friends. It was a clear autumnal morning with one of those crisp pale blue Norfolk skies; the kind of morning that makes East Anglia feel like an entirely different country to the Westcountry, where I grew up. We walked down Earlham road, past the Catholic Cathedral basking in the sunshine; down Upper St Giles street with the old cobbles and the cute cafes, past the market place to the Iron House Brasserie.
The Iron House Brasserie from the front
When we walked in the staff were friendly and could accommodate a table of 6 even though we hadn't booked. The cobbled street and old fashioned shopfront contrasts with the modern interior, which works well downstairs as an escape from the busy street outside. I love going out for breakfast because you have the whole day in front of you. Through the large windows downstairs, you can watch the people outside going about their own weekend plans. The upstairs was less interesting, but when you don't book you can't complain about where you are seated.
I thought that my choice of eggs royale was spot on. The eggs were firm and runny in the right places, the hollandaise was nice and lemony and the perfect consistency, and the salmon was dark, thickly cut and rich in flavour. By the end I was nicely full, which makes a pleasant change from my usual post fry up food coma.
My breakfast; eggs royale
Having ummed and erred over whether to go for the eggs royale or the pancakes, Annabel was disappointed with hers when it came. She was expecting a stack of pancakes the size of her head. What she got was this;
Annabel's pancakes, bacon and maple syrop
Overall it was a nice breakfast (you can tell that it's me and not Annabel writing this!) and definitely somewhere I will revisit. Next time I go out for breakfast I'd like to check out Frank's Bar for what I'm told is a real stack of pancakes!

Text Messaging For Work – 7 Guidelines For All Employees
Increasingly employees are using text messaging to contact coworkers, managers, customers, and vendors. In general, there is no problem with this – texting is fast, easy and works to get quick messages across.
Recently, when I was on a video shoot. I was able to quickly handle questions and communicate a change of plans through text messages to the crew. It got the change of plans across quickly and efficiently. So, I know it's a huge help. At the same time, text messaging (like e-mail and social media) can cause problems if handled incorrectly in the workplace.
Here are some guidelines that can help avoid pitfalls. Think about these when you text customers, coworkers, and vendors:
- Make Sure It's OK Before You Start: Some people are more comfortable with texting for work than others. Make sure it's OK to send them a work-related text. They may prefer an email or a call.
- Avoid Emoticons and Abbreviation: Work-related text messages should be more factual and more formal. It's safer for you and avoids confusion.
- Check Spelling (and watch out for AutoCorrect): It's not a big deal if your text has one or two typos if you're sending it to a friend of a family member. It can be bad for you (and your company) if it happens with a customer, boss or coworker. So, check your messages before you hit "send". Don't believe me? Check out this fun clip from "Ellen": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oivWKzaVOO4
- Respond: Since texting is immediate, people will want to know if you've received the message. Make sure you respond to their text promptly.
- Think About Your Tone: Sometimes your humor or your message might be misinterpreted. Make sure you're clear. Avid humor and sarcasm as it may be misinterpreted.
- Pause and Reread: It's always a good idea to check your text before you hit sent. Read the text to make sure that AutoCorrect hasn't changed anything and that the tone is OK.
- If Your Message Is Complicated, Don't Send A Text: Think before you start a text message. Is your message long or complicated? If so, maybe a call or an email would be more appropriate.
We have a new training program that can help employees navigate texting at work. It's called "Your Words Matter." This program provides practical advice on Test Messages, Social Media and emails. There's a free preview at our website – so you might want to check it out.

Award-winning author Felicia Mason introduces us to a respectable Southern family turned upside-down by grief...and a hilarious and sometimes undignified search for a huge inheritance... After a lifetime spent scrubbing and mending for others, Ana Mae Futrell has passed away. Her siblings have reluctantly returned to their North Carolina hometown to bury the older sister they never really bothered to know. For instance, they didn't know she'd won big on a lottery ticket. Or that she had a son. But back to the money--Ana Mae's millions will go only to the person who can interpret the clues she's left behind in a quilt. If they all fail, the fortune goes to Ana Mae's cats--and a Reverend with whom she shared a "special" relationship... Ana Mae's two sisters and brother hadn't really thought about her in years, but now she's all they can think about. And as the race to win begins, everyone finds there's more to gain than money. Because they're each going to...

WRONG TURN 5: BLOODLINES comes out just in time for Halloween, and to celebrate, we've got a nifty little treat for you: an exclusive look at one of the disc's "Director Die-aries", which gives us a behind-the=scenes look at a bloody sequence from the 3rd day of shooting on-set; it's called "Ear Loss". You'll see that it's fairly self-explanatory...
WRONG TURN 5 picks up when a small mining town hosts the legendary Mountain Man Festival on Halloween, where crowds of costumed partygoers gather for a wild night of music and mischief. But a killer celebration soon gives way to a blood-soaked feeding frenzy when an inbred family of hillbilly cannibals trick and treat themselves to a group of visiting college students who are just dying for a good time...
Special features on the Blu-ray include:
* A Day in the Death
* Hillbilly Kills
* Director's Die-aries
* Audio Commentary by Declan O'Brien
WRONG TURN 5, which stars Doug Bradley and Roxanne McKee, will be available on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Copy October 23. Pre-order the Blu-ray right HERE or the DVD HERE.

Since the last installment of this semi-regular feature, a number of interesting articles have popped up across the internet about the perceived conflict between science and religion. Some of these entries throw light on why the conflict is perceived in the first place, and others try to dispel the perception altogether.
Quite a few people pointed us to this NPR story about stereotypes that featured perceptions of Christians and science. The general principle that has been confirmed again and again is: if you're reminded of a stereotype, you're more likely to conform to it. The interesting thing for our work was that they tested it with regard to the stereotype that Christians and science just don't get along. When Christians were told this right before they did a test with some logic problems, they did worse on the test than did Christians who were not told the stereotype. Moral to this story: don't listen to the folks who say you can't be a Christian and accept science right before your next logic test.
Another radio program, this one from the Sunday Sequence on the BBC, interviews two of our friends, Denis Alexander and Tom McLeish. They discuss whether there is conflict between science and faith, the nature of faith, and stem cell research. The interview starts at 12:05 in the program and finishes about 21:45.
Tom McLeish was also included in an article on BuzzFeed in which they asked 12 Scientists How Their Faith Affects Their Work, all from the UK. This response from Gavin Merrifield, a research assistant at the University of Glasgow, points the opposite direction from conflict:
"Does my particular understanding of Christian belief make me a better or worse scientist? Probably not either way. Do my personal beliefs interfere with my research? I should hope not! But for me as an individual, as a human being, both contribute to how I understand the universe I exist in and the people around me. My worldview does bring me extra satisfaction with my research, strong motivation, and opportunities for deeper reflection."
Finally, a poll and then a caution about polls. The poll in question was reported on in the Washington Post with the headline, "In this country, literally no young Christians believe that God created the earth". The country in question is Iceland, and it is no secret that it has seen a dramatic decline in religion among its citizens. But it might confuse you to learn that the story also says that 40% of the younger generation in Iceland identify as Christians. So evidently the Christians don't think God created the earth?? Chalk this one up to very poor reporting. Nowhere does it actually quote these young Icelandic Christians as not believing in God as Creator. Rather, these Christians merely reported that they accepted the scientific explanations for the origins of the earth. On an island where volcanoes are actively adding to the land mass, it's not too difficult to see why they might be inclined to accept that there are plausible natural explanations for that sort of thing. But to conclude from their acceptance of science that they think God had nothing to do with creating the earth is like concluding that I'm not really typing these words because the "words" are really just the illumination of certain pixels on the screen.
And now to the caution about polls: Andrew Aghapour and Michael Schulson of On Being write, "Beware the Polls You Read: Breaking Down the Problem with Pew's Science & Religion Poll". We too have reported on the Pew poll (here) with some concerns about the interpretation of statistics on how many Americans (both religious and nonreligious) think science and religion conflict. These guys do a nice job of deconstructing the questions. For example, religious beliefs can be "fuzzy" and don't lend themselves to yes or no questions, and the pollsters have to get through a lot of questions in a certain amount of time. So, they conclude, "Pew has given us a narrow, skewed insight into how a select subset of Americans respond to leading questions, posed by strangers, over the phone." And then when the press reports on such data (as we saw in the Iceland story above), it introduces another layer of confusion.
As these articles show, there is some conflict between people with a preconceived notion of how science and religion are related. But we're persuaded the conflict only exists at the level of public rhetoric, and does not penetrate to the core issues of science and religion themselves. As BioLogos aims to show, this conflict narrative is unhelpful and unnecessary.

— Near-death experience researcher Kenneth Ring, Ph.D., author of "Lessons from the Light"
"This author has taken the best quotes from the most articulate experiencers and organized them into an easily understandable collection of what is really quite ineffable. This is an amazing contribution. I highly recommend this book! It stands out from the growing collection of books in this genre because it gets to the heart of the matter! It has taken on and brought us the Soul of the NDE. And the author doesn't hide from the dark places. This book brings it all together."
— Near-Death Experiencer, researcher, and author Barbara Harris Whitfield
"This book is not only well worth the read, absorbing its psycho-spiritual information may be the closest thing to having a near-death experience without going through the risk and pain. Thank you David for synthesizing all these great life-changing experiences!"

The Gifts of Near-Death Experiences:
You Don't Have to Die to Experience Your True Home
By Sheila Fabricant Linn, Dennis Linn, Matthew Linn
This is the only book that systematically encourages the reader to create a spiritual and psychological healing practice based on NDEs. Each chapter includes an account of a fascinating NDE, followed by a series of questions, meditations, exercises, and video links. The reader is encouraged to contemplate these stories and their own lives. It is truly a profound guide to both living and dying.
Here's an example of the kind of helpful insights and practical exercises that this outstanding book contains: A Life Review Every Day.
"The thesis of this book is that simply immersing ourselves in NDEs, by listening to accounts of them, reading about them, and so forth, can bring about some of the same changes in ourselves as those described in NDErs in the previous chapters. This has been our experience."
— Page 169
"We live in a community in which many people have different political opinions, values, religious beliefs, and lifestyles than ourselves… In our experience, NDEs have the power to unite us as no other topic can, and to help us form immediate heart and soul connections with people to whom we might otherwise struggle to relate."

Lessons from the Light: What We Can Learn from the Near-Death Experience
By Kenneth Ring, Evelyn Elsaesser Valarino
From The Forward:
"If any one person can claim to be an authority on near-death experiences (NDEs) without having had one, that person must surely be Kenneth Ring. After Raymond Moody sowed the seeds of modern near-death research by coining the term "NDE" in his 1975 Life After Life, it was Ken who watered and nurtured them till they grew into a self-sustaining phenomenon. It was Ken who was the first president of that band of scattered researchers who formed the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) 20 years ago. It was Ken's office at the University of Connecticut that housed the organizations volunteers, phones, and growing archives for its precarious first decade. And it was Ken who founded the only scholarly journal for near-death studies and organized symposia on NDEs at annual meetings of mainstream academic societies.
"If anyone has interviewed more NDErs than Ken — and I don't know that anyone has — then surely no one has done it with the depth, open-mindedness, and insight as he. For many years, Ken's home was known to experiencers across the country as "The Near-Death Hotel," where itinerant NDErs trying to rediscover their place in this world could and did "drop by" and end up staying however long it took. And each one to whom Ken opened his home in return opened his or her heart and added to Ken's growing comprehension of the true essence of the NDE. No other researcher has been able to meld the large-scale controlled study with the passionate friendships, the philosophical theories with the intuitive understandings, the command of the scholarly literature with the personal stories. And more importantly, no other researcher has been able to transmit to the rest of us the true meaning and impact of near-death phenomena for our planet…"
— From The Foreword by Dr. Bruce Greyson
"The capstone of Kenneth Ring's career, this book is the distillation of all that death can teach the living. Ring's loving voice turns harrowing and resplendent near-death stories never published before into a practical guide that motivates through its sheer heart-gripping beauty. No reader will ever be able to think of life in the same way again after reading this book."
— Jenny Wade, Ph.D., author of Changes of Mind: A Holononic Theory of the Evolution of Consciousness
God and the Afterlife: The Groundbreaking New Evidence for God and Near-Death Experience
By Jeffrey Long, Paul Perry
Based on the largest near-death experience study in history, involving 3,000 people from diverse backgrounds and religious traditions, including nonbelievers, God and the Afterlife presents startling evidence that a Supreme Being exists — and there is amazing consistency about what he is like.
In his bestselling book Evidence of the Afterlife, Dr. Jefferey Long showed us that there is a strong scientific case for life after death. Now, he goes further, revealing evidence that God is real. At the Near Death Experience Research Foundation, Dr. Long studied the stories of thousands of people who have journeyed to the afterlife. Though there are a wide variety of differences in how people experience NDEs — some see a bright light, others go through a tunnel, still others experience a review of their life — he discovered that many of the accounts shared a remarkably similar description of God; a Supreme Being who radiated love and grace.
Expanding on his analysis begun in Evidence of the Afterlife, God and the Afterlife is the first intensive exploration of the people who have reported going to the frontier of heaven, met God, and have returned to share their journey. Groundbreaking and profound, it provides new insight into the human experience and expands our notions of mortality, offering possibility, hope, and comfort.

I Knew Their Hearts: The Amazing True Story of a Journey Beyond the Veil to Learn the Silent Language of the Heart
By Jeff Olsen
"I felt the hustle and unrest of the hallway of a hospital. I watched the doctors and nurses as they went about their duties. I moved with ease all around them. I realized none of them were aware of me. They could not see me, but – wow – could I see them!
"My perceptions were expanded. I knew each person I saw perfectly. I knew their joys and their sorrows. I knew their love, their hate, their pain, and their secrets. I knew everything about them, every detail, every motivation, and every outcome. I knew every emotion they were feeling, and I knew intuitively why they were feeling it. In an instant, with no contemplation, I knew them as well as I knew myself. I knew their hearts…
"… I felt spontaneous, intense love for each and every one of them. Not a romantic love, but a perfect, compassionate love…"
"I moved about the hospital with ease, pausing to take in the beauty of the people I was encountering. I felt their true essence and marveled at the connection I had to each of them, even though I had never met them before…
"Most of my life, I had actually avoided people. Now, everyone I saw was truly my brother or sister. In fact it went even deeper than that. THEY were, in a strange sense, ME! We were all connected pieces in a huge puzzle of oneness.
"Words Jesus had said rushed to my recollection: 'Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these brethren ye have done it unto me.' Was he talking about the awareness I was experiencing? Did he feel the same thing I was feeling? Was this how he walked the earth, in the consciousness of knowing each individual soul at this deep level of love?
"I realized he didn't see himself as better than the beggar or the prisoner; he knew he was one with them. He knew them perfectly, in the same way I was experiencing the strangers I saw. We are all linked and equal in God's eyes. I was seeing it, feeling it, and experiencing it."
— Pages 35-37

The near-death experience that inspired the modern day near-death experience movement.
Return from Tomorrow
By George G. Ritchie, Elizabeth Sherrill
"I'm not asking you to believe anything. I'm simply telling you what I believe. And I have no idea what the next life will be like. Whatever I saw was only from the doorway, so to speak. But it was enough to convince me totally of two things from that moment on: One, that our consciousness does not cease with physical death; that it becomes, in fact, keener and more aware than ever. And secondly, that how we spend our time on earth, the kind of relationships we build, is vastly more important than we can know."

My Descent Into Death: A Second Chance at Life
By Howard Storm
Life Review
"The only reason I could bear to proceed with the life review was because of their love for me. No matter what we watched me do in life, they communicated their love for me, even as they expressed their disapproval of the things I did."
Interested In Relationships
"The angels and Jesus had no interest in the track meet competitions I won or lost. They were interested in the relationships and how we encouraged or hurt one another."
"God is not particularly interested in human sexual expression. God is interested in how we love one another and doesn't want us to exploit one another."
"It is impossible to love another person unless we love ourselves. Without the love of God, it is impossible to love ourselves because every human being is aware of their flawed nature and sinfulness."
"The only authentic love in this world is achieved when there is a balance between love of God, love of neighbor, and love of self."
"Our purpose is to know and do God's will in this life, and we do this when we love one another as God loves us. Every person, without exception, needs to be loved by us. This is the most difficult and most important lesson of our life."
Other Life in The Universe
"I asked them if there were other worlds. And they said, yes, the universe is full of other worlds — and there are other dimensions of other physical universes and those are full of other worlds."
Diversity of Heavens
"Each person is escorted toward heaven according to his or her life, culture, and spiritual level."

Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife
By Eben Alexander, MD
Thousands of people have had near-death experiences, but scientists have argued that they are impossible. Dr. Eben Alexander was one of those scientists. A highly trained neurosurgeon, Alexander knew that NDEs feel real, but are simply fantasies produced by brains under extreme stress.
Then, Dr. Alexander's own brain was attacked by a rare illness. The part of the brain that controls thought and emotion — and in essence makes us human — shut down completely. For seven days he lay in a coma. Then, as his doctors considered stopping treatment, Alexander's eyes popped open. He had come back.
Alexander's recovery is a medical miracle. But the real miracle of his story lies elsewhere. While his body lay in coma, Alexander journeyed beyond this world and encountered an angelic being who guided him into the deepest realms of super-physical existence. There he met, and spoke with, the Divine source of the universe itself.
BeforeAlexander underwent his journey, he could not reconcile his knowledge of neuroscience with any belief in heaven, God, or the soul. Today Alexander is a doctor who believes that true health can be achieved only when we realize that God and the soul are real and that death is not the end of personal existence but only a transition.

Heading Toward Omega: In Search of the Meaning of the Near-Death Experience
By Kenneth Ring
Heading Toward Omega was the first to examine in detail the aftereffects of the near-death experiences, which represents a key to their meaning. In this three-year intensive study of near-death survivors, Dr. Ring showed that near-death experiences tend to lead to a total transformation of a person's attitudes, beliefs and values and are often catalysts for spiritual awakening. Indeed it is possible that such experiences, now known to have occurred to many millions of people around the world, may collectively herald the birth of a higher consciousness for all humanity.

Glimpses of Eternity: An Investigation Into Shared Death Experiences
By Raymond A., Jr. Moody
Shared-death experiences (SDE) have been documented by the Society for Psychical Research in London since the late 1800s. Peter Fenwick, MD, and Elizabeth Fenwick, RN, who research end-of-life phenomena, have collected hundreds of shared-death experiences in the United Kingdom and in Northern Europe. Dr. Raymond Moody formally coined the term "shared-death experience" in his 2009 book, Glimpses of Eternity. Previously, the phenomena now identified as the shared-death experience was associated with death-bed visions (William Barrett), death-bed coincidences (Fenwick), and other extraordinary end-of-life phenomena.
The core elements of the shared-death experience are remarkably similar to those of the near-death experience (NDE). Although no single SDE has included all of the elements listed below, and although no two SDE's are exactly the same, a person who experiences even one or two of these elements receives profound benefits from their SDE. The following elements may characterize shared-death experiences:
• Mist at death
• Hearing beautiful music
• Change in the geometry of the room
• Strong Upward Pull on the Body
• Shared Out-of-Body Experience
• Seeing a Mystical Light
• Empathically Co-living the Life Review of the Dying Person
• Greeted by Beings of Light
• Encountering Heavenly Realms
• Boundary in the Heavenly Realm
Preliminary research from Shared Crossing Research Initiative and Dr. Raymond Moody's research has shown that the shared death experience offers many benefits, including:
• Dramatic grief reduction, knowing that the one who has died is actually alive and well in the afterlife
• Greatly reduced fear and apprehension of death
• Increased belief in an afterlife
• A deeper understanding and refocusing on one's purpose in this life
Paranormal: My Life in Pursuit of the Afterlife
By Raymond Moody with Paul Perry
The bestselling author of Life After Life, Raymond Moody, offers a stunning, myth-busting memoir of everything he has learned in a lifetime studying "the other side" and our connection to it. The grandfather of the NDE (near death experience) movement, Raymond Moody has, in the words of Dr. Larry Dossey, author of The Power of Premonitions, "radically changed the way modern humans think about the afterlife." Paranormal is "a thrilling and inspiring literary experience. Anyone who is not grateful for Moody's immense contribution to human welfare ought to check his pulse."

Loved: A Transcendent Journey
By Mary Deioma
"Mary Deioma's book, 'Loved: A Transcendent Journey' is something special. Based on direct, personal experiences, Mary tackles life's big questions with authority, clarity, humility, honesty, and a refreshing sense of humor. In a mere 148 pages, she offers a sophisticated understanding of the nature and purpose of heaven and hell, clears up confusion about The Void that so many near-death experiencers have experienced, provides a helpful seven-level framework to conceptualize the nature of reality, explores the malleable nature of time and how healing can be initiated by revisiting old wounds in the present, discusses why some experiential states of consciousness are more accurate — and trustable — than others, discusses the complicated nature of premonitions and future events, and offers practical insights as to how to use all this information in our day-to-day lives. The first bit of magic is acquiring this information. The second bit of magic is explaining it simply and clearly. And the third bit of magic is compressing it all into a small book that is personable, engaging and easy to understand. Everyone who seeks to answer life's big questions should own, read, and ponder this jewel of a book."

The Self Does Not Die: Verified Paranormal Phenomena from Near-Death Experiences
By Titus Rivas, Anny Dirven, Rudolf H. Smit, Robert G. Mays, Janice Miner Holden
Are near-death experiences (NDEs) just elaborate hallucinations produced by a dying brain? Or the exuberant fantasies of attention-seeking narcissists? As the accounts in this book abundantly demonstrate: Neither!
This book contains over 100 reliable, often firsthand accounts of perceptions during NDEs that were later verified as accurate by independent sources. These near-death experiencers were everyday people from all over the world — many of whom were clinically dead, unable to see or hear, and yet able to perceive new vistas of a world beyond the senses and even beyond death.
The Self Does Not Die is a trailblazing effort to present the most confirmed cases of consciousness beyond death ever compiled. In these cases, the authors have gone back to the original sources, the people involved in each case, whenever possible, rather than relying on secondhand sources. In so doing, they have assembled a unique collection of empirical data that any scholar worthy of the name must take into account.
By carefully studying and describing many convincing and corroborated cases, during cardiac arrest and other cases, the authors conclude that there are good reasons to assume that our consciousness does not always coincide with the functioning of our brain: Enhanced consciousness can sometimes be experienced separately from the body.
This book is a must read for anyone wanting to know more about this fascinating subject with its implications about the very nature of human consciousness and its survival of physical death. It has the potential to radically change the currently still widely accepted materialist paradigm in science.
Consciousness Beyond Life: The Science of the Near-Death Experience
By Pim van Lommel
"Dr. Pim van Lommel's Consciousness Beyond Life is an exciting, informative, and thorough overview of near-death experiences. As one of the foremost experts in the field, his work moves us closer to rational comprehension of human kind's deepest mystery — life after death."
— Raymond A. Moody MD,PhD, author of Life After Life
"Most books on NDEs only touch on some of the ideas that are presented, but the distinctive contribution of this book is that it presents and defends a complete theory of consciousness…. What a brilliant, erudite and magisterial book. A magnificent achievement, clearly a landmark book. "
— Dr. Kenneth Ring, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, University of Connecticut
"Consciousness Beyond Life confronts the apparent enigma of clear thinking, accurate perception, and enhanced memory in people who are clinically dead. This rigorous and provocative book may change our ideas about the mind and how we practice medicine."
— Bruce Greyson, M.D., Carlson Professor of Psychiatry & Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia School of Medicine
"After eight years, people with an NDE scored significantly higher in the following areas: showing emotions; less interest in the opinion of others; accepting others; compassion for others; involvement in family; less appreciation of money and possessions; increase in the importance of nature and environment; less interest in a higher standard of living; appreciation of ordinary things; sense of social justice; inner meaning of life; decline in church attendance; increased interest in spirituality; less fear of death; less fear of dying; and increase in belief in life after death. These different levels of change are a consequence of the NDE and not of surviving a cardiac arrest."
The Handbook of Near-Death Experiences: Thirty Years of Investigation
By Janice Miner Holden, Bruce Greyson, Debbie James
Excerpt from Chapter 1: The Field of Near-Death Studies: Past, Present, and Future
"In 1975, Raymond Moody, then a medical student, published the book Life After Life. In it, he coined the term 'near-death experience' and the acronym 'NDE,' and he introduced the phenomenon of NDEs to the public and most professionals. His book marked the opening of the contemporary field of near-death studies. Even in that book, however, Moody noted that writers had recorded NDEs going back as far as ancient texts. It is now clear that accounts can be found in humankind's earliest writings, including the Bible, Plato's Dialogues, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, and the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
"As that list of texts suggests, it is also now known that NDEs have been described across cultures, not only in the literature of Western culture but also in the folklore of Native American, South Pacific Islander, and East and Central Asian cultures and in the literature of non-Western cultures. Indeed, accounts of near-death and out-of-body experiences can be found in the oral traditions and written literature of about 95 percent of the world's cultures (Sheils 1978).
"More recently, over 150 years before Moody's book, several authors explored the phenomenon that would later be named NDE-some of these people being, literally, explorers. In 1825, Henry Schoolcraft described an account in his book Travels in the Central Portion of the Mississippi Valley. In 1872, David Livingstone, of 'Dr. Livingstone, I presume' fame, described what we now call an NDE in his book Adventures and Discoveries in the Interior of Africa. Just one year later, Samuel Woodworth Cozzens related an account in his book The Marvelous Country: Three Years in Arizona and New Mexico. Before 1900, at least six other authors (Barrow 1848; Clarke 1878; Little 1881; Munck 1887; Winslow 1868) published books containing NDE accounts. Among these was Frances Power Cobbe's 1882 book The Peak in Darien; in it, she recounted NDEs in which the experiencers encountered deceased people who were not at the time known to be deceased.
"In the 19th century, accounts of NDEs also appeared in the Western professional literature of both medicine and psychical research. In the periodical literature, physician A. S. Wiltse published a description of an NDE in his 1889 article in the Saint Louis Medical and Surgical Journal. Accounts in the medical literature tended to focus on the effects of these phenomena, with the apparent goals of warning physicians not to declare patients dead prematurely and of helping survivors readjust to life after reviving. Accounts in the psychical research literature tended to focus on accurate perceptions of experiencers while 'they' were ostensibly out of their bodies, with the apparent goals of elucidating the relationship between mind and body and providing supportive evidence for the possibility that some part of humans may survive bodily death.
"Beginning in the 19th century, Western investigators moved beyond individual case reports into collections of cases, which allowed analysis of features that appeared to comprise consistent patterns across individuals. Among these were Mormon collections of NDEs that were not published for the general public until the 20th century (Lundahl 1979, 1993-94). In Albert von St. Gallen Heim's 1892 article in the Yearbook of the Swiss Alpine Club, he described 30 NDEs, primarily from climbers who had fallen while climbing, as he had done. In the first two decades of the 20th century, psychical researcher James Hyslop published a series of articles describing the phenomenology of 'visions of the dying.' For two decades beginning in 1971, Russell Noyes and his colleagues published a series of articles in the psychiatric literature describing 'depersonalization in the face of life-threatening danger,' including paradoxical hyperalertness and mystical consciousness. In 1975, German theologian Johann Christoph Hampe published a book describing the primary phenomenological features of NDEs; it was published in English in 1979. Indeed, before Moody's book in 1975, in the scholarly Western periodical literature alone, over 25 authors had published over 30articles addressing NDEs (Holden and Christian 2005b). When Life after Life first appeared, it quickly became a bestseller. As of 2001, over 13 million copies had been sold, and the book had been translated into 26 languages (E. Russo, personal communication, August 10, 2006). This book ushered in the modern era of near-death research in which NDEs were identified as a discrete phenomenon rather than as a type of depersonalization, a special case of out-of-body experience, or a variety of religious epiphany. In the intervening 30 years, the topic of NDEs has continued to generate curiosity and has sustained interest such that researchers and theoreticians around the world have investigated and written on the topic. Thus, not only have NDEs occurred throughout history and across cultures but also the study of them has become increasingly international…"

Highly Recommended Movies
Resurrection is a 1980 film which tells the story of a woman who survives the car accident and discovers that a near-death experience has given her the power to heal other people. Ellen Burstyn delivers a tour-de-force performance as the modern-day miracle in this unforgettable story. It stars Ellen Burstyn, Sam Shepard, Richard Farnsworth, Roberts Blossom and Eva LeGallienne. The movie was nominated for two Academy Awards; one for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Ellen Burstyn) and another for Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Eva LeGallienne).
An inspired movie that humorously illustrates many of the core truths championed by near-death experiences. Bill Murray's character, Phil Connors, transforms from an arrogant and egocentric TV weatherman into a Christ figure. And he does it, true to life, in the same sloppy, humorous, convoluted way that most of us do.
"Miracles From Heaven" is based on the true story of the Beam family. When Christy (Jennifer Garner) discovers her 10-year-old daughter Anna (Kylie Rogers) has a rare, incurable disease, she becomes a ferocious advocate for her daughter's healing as she searches for a solution. After Anna has a freak accident, an extraordinary miracle unfolds in the wake of her dramatic rescue that leaves medical specialists mystified, her family restored, and their community inspired.

*"Love & Hip Hop" star Benzino says AirTran Airways has accepted blame for racially profiling him during a flight this week, and gave him two $200 vouchers for the trouble.
TMZ posted video of Benzino going off after claiming a flight attendant racially profiled him on his flight Tuesday from Las Vegas to Atlanta. The reality show star says he and his new wife were the last people to board, and as soon as they took their First Class seats, a flight attendant demanded to see their tickets.
Benzino said he was insulted, telling TMZ the flight attendant only asked to see his tickets because he's a black man sitting in First Class.
"They basically were talking to me very disrespectful and came at me inappropriate," Benzino said. "That's why I was upset about the situation. I am not the one to scream the race card unless I truly believe I am being treated not equal."
According to Benzino, an airline rep later apologized to him, telling him the airline was in the wrong, and then gave him and his wife two vouchers for $200. He took a pic of this as proof:

Built On Innovation and Legacy
Serving the needs of communities since our inception.
The CovenantCare family – which includes Covenant Retirement Communities (CRC) and CovenantCare at Home – grew from the ministries of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) and its 127-year Christian legacy of community service and health care outreach.
In 1886, the Swedish Evangelical Covenant Mission Friends, an outreach of the ECC, founded the Home of Mercy in Chicago. The Home of Mercy was a multi-purpose entity that served as a retirement home, hospice, refuge, and hospital for local immigrants during a time of increasing social needs in the community. From this legacy of care grew the mission of CovenantCare at Home.
Research reveals that individuals heal faster in home environments. CovenantCare responds to this research by delivering quality care in a cost-effective way, by being mobile to patient needs.
In addition to assisting residents of CRC, one of the largest not-for-profit networks of residential communities for seniors in the country, CovenantCare has moved into the communities beyond. Collaborating with hospitals, physicians, and residential care facilities to provide Medicare–certified health care, personal care, and hospice services, CovenantCare at Home focuses on continuity among all medical providers to provide the best quality and patient-centered services to its clients.
We come into communities with a legacy of compassion armed with a future of health care innovation.

Kelly Kormos of REMAX has been busy with two closings this week!
Kelly Kormos of The Ashton Real Estate Group of # REMAX Elite, the #1 #RealEstate team in #Nashville and #Tennessee, the official real estate team of the Tennessee #Titans and exclusively endorsed by Barbara Corcoran, had two closings this week!
Kelly is celebrating the holidays and her clients moving into their new homes! This week she had 2 closings. One was a family of 6 that needed a lot more room. We found a gorgeous home in Spring Hill that not only had room for everyone but was on an acre so plenty of room for everyone outside too! They could not be happier to celebrate Christmas in their new home.
Kelly also worked with a family this week who bought a home for their daughter who will be attending MTSU. It is an adorable home not too far from campus. The yard backs up to peaceful, gorgeous creek that will make a great place to study and relax with friends. Go Blue Raiders!
Kelly also showed quite a few houses this week. One of her friends got engaged and is now looking for a home with her fiancee! She is so happy for them and glad to be able to help them start the rest of their life together! Kelly also showed homes to a couple this week that is buying their first home. They both come from large families so finding the perfect home that will always be open to their family is very important.
What a great week! Gearing up for next week and showings this weekend :)

Personal property tax bills signed into law
LANSING—State Sen. Dave Robertson joined Gov. Rick Snyder and Lt. Gov. Brian Calley on Thursday for a ceremonial signing of a section of the personal property tax reform legislation.
Robertson was a sponsor of Senate Bills 1066 and 1068, now Publics Acts 398 and 400 of 2012.
"In the past, if a manufacturer wanted to make a critically important investment in Michigan that would build the economy and provide jobs, we don't send them a thank you card we send them a tax bill," said Robertson, R-Grand Blanc Township. "By passing this legislation, we have moved Michigan toward a more competitive future."

Dionaea is a malware capturing honeypot, which also features a VoIP module (of interest to me). It was originally developed under The Honeynet Project's 2009 Google Summer of Code (GSoC).
My servers were running on Ubuntu 14.04, and it appeared most guides haven't been updated since 12.04 came out. With thorough research, I found out that setting it up has become a lot easier, so much easier that I first doubted it was actually working, and tried to adapt the 12.04 guides. I believe there's a lot of ambiguity surrounding it, as I can only access the original site (as I understand it) through the wayback machine.
So this is how I set it up:
Brian has been a life saver with his guide, which simply tells you how to get it up and running:
apt-get update
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties -y
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:honeynet/nightly -y
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install dionaea-phibo -y
sudo service dionaea-phibo start
So yes, that's really how easy it is now to get it started. However, that's only the default configuration. He does tell you that you need to have a look at /etc/dionaea/dionaea.conf which is the configuration file for dionaea.
At this point I obviously had no idea how to configure it, so I kept searching for something that might explain it, and I found this . It's quite a good basic configuration to make it into a VoIP honeypot (you definitely don't want the http service running when dionaea is live). My only change is that I commented out the default submit section (sorry!). I didn't find the first part useful as the script also installs kippo, and I found myself locked out from my ssh connection, sometimes even before the script finished installing (not to mention I didn't want kippo).
Once I tried to scan it with nmap I realised it could easily tell it's a honeypot, so I looked for a way to hide it. I found this other useful guide by José Manuel Fernández which tells you straightforward, and nicely explains, what values should be modified to avoid identification.
The only problem left then was the ssh service; it would easily identify it as an ubuntu machine. Therefore, I made the service listen to 127.0.0.1 in its config file /etc/ssh/sshd_config (ListenAddress, uncommented). As far as I can understand, you cannot change the way it recognises your machine as it's hard coded, and is required in order to properly interact with other machines. Thus, the only option then was to get rid of it entirely. Don't forget to restart the service!
service ssh restart
I got p0f to work by using this other guide, if you're interested in it working for you.
At this point I realise there's an awful lot of guides I used to get it up and running, none my original work, but since they were all so spread out, I thought it could be useful to have them all in one place!
It took me days to find the "right combo" but now it's really easy to set-up a Dionaea honeypot – average 30 minutes set-up time. I've tried to extend it as well, but I couldn't make any sense of the MySQL configuration (got everything else running), so if anyone could help me with that, I would highly appreciate it!
Bonus : You can get $50 credit for digitalocean using the github Student Developer Pack to set up your own servers! And another $10 if you use my referral link! 🙂

ICMA-RC's Mobile App Recognized in DALBAR'S Mobile InSIGHT Report
March 27, 2017
DALBAR, Inc. (www.dalbar.com), the financial community's leading independent expert for evaluating, auditing and rating business practices, customer performance, product quality and service recently recognized ICMA-RC's mobile app in their Second Semester 2016 Mobile InSIGHT report.DALBAR's Mobile InSIGHT analyzed 41 financial services firms' offerings and recognized pacesetters whose mobile applications have led them to a higher, more continuous level of visibility.
The DALBAR report states that "Gone are the days of the traditional game of 'Keeping up with the Joneses'; the game is now about the New and Different. It is about pioneering creative methods of interacting with customers." The report goes on to say that "Mobile technology has evolved from a mere novelty into an absolute necessity for most North Americans. Software meant exclusively for mobile use (commonly referred to as "apps") has inarguably played an extensive role in the overwhelming adoption of mobile technology."
ICMA-RC's mobile app received a 4-star rating out of 5 and was recognized for two innovative components to the ICMA-RC mobile app experience: the "Your Future Animated" personalized video tool that allows users to see what their future may look like in retirement and an in-app virtual reality video featuring moments in the day of three public sector employees. The ICMA-RC app also was recognized as a pacesetter in the categories of discoverability, branding, and engagement.
Putting mobile education and information within participants' reach is a key focus for ICMA-RC, as it is critical to effectively serving public sector employees. "Based on year-end 2016 data we identified that 65 percent of those we serve in the public sector have occupations where they are away from their desks," said Gregory Dyson, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of ICMA-RC. "Public sector occupations such as public safety, public works, parks and recreation, and others spend most of their time on location, serving their communities. The emphasis on field work makes strong mobile solutions critical for success in helping public sector employees save toward a secure retirement."

I was looking for something in my garage the other day, and ended up spending 3 hours looking through boxes of old photos, yearbooks, letters, and mementos from my past. It was actually fun to just sit there and wallow in it. I found a journal I wrote in every single night during my senior year of high school. I don't think I have read it all, ..ever! I took it in the house with me, grabbed a cup of coffee, and sat down to read it.
Wow, I really was a teenager once, and a lot more naive than I want to remember. It was all full of, "I hope he likes me" "why doesn't he call" "I don't need him" "he finally called, I'm so happy" and all the silly stuff that was so important to my friends and I then; what we wore, who we were mad at, what our parents said, and so forth.
There was lots of fun stuff, but I found myself wanting to talk to the 18 year old Julie, and tell her a few things about her decisions, and her future. I thought of writing a letter to "her", and I even started it, but it was about all the stupid stuff she did and the trouble it caused me in the future. It was full of regrets and should-haves! I started feeling bad, so I stopped. What good was it going to do? It was just reinforcing my own negative self talk. I thought of something I read once that said we should spend 10% of our time thinking about the past, because we can't change it, and 10% of our time worrying about our future, because it hasn't happened yet! That leaves 80% of our time thinking about now, and the things we can do, people we can be with, events we can enjoy, and love that we can give! Who cares if I was a stupid teenager, and I made mistakes? We all did! What matters is who I turned out to be, and what I am doing now to make a difference in my and my family's life! I am not 18 year old Julie anymore, and I am glad!

Austin Smith lets his riding speak for itself. Originally from Bellingham, WA, Austin moved with his family to Bend, Oregon as a teenager. Austin quickly made a name for himself, capturing the closing segment from Mack Dawg's "We're People Too" and earning himself both Rookie of The Year and Video Part of The Year Honors.
After gaining sponsorships from Nike, Nitro, Smith, and Dakine Austin had a year plagued with knee injuries. This led Austin and close friend Brian Fox on a quest to emphasize the importance of taking care of your body. What started out as simply scribing "Drink Water" on their boards as a movement to find alternatives to energy drinks, quickly became a movement embraced by many action sports enthusiasts who decided energy drinks weren't for them.
Stickers and shirts were made and demand quickly grew to the point where they were selling them and donating proceeds to water.org. In addition Austin and the Drink Water crew host the Rat Race at High Cascade every summer. Its banked slalom/Helltrack course draws some of the world's top riders and has raised nearly $30k for clean drinking water.
