Sizzlers are out! Enjoy guys – see ya in 2010! 🙂
BODYCOMBAT 43 Sizzler
You are not going to believe what we've got in store for you this time! The music in BODYCOMBAT® 43 is a lot more upbeat and has more Top-40 to get you through the workout. The choreography is simple and flows easily from track to track. The release can be described as heaps of fun with exciting sequences and a brand new move.
However, don't let this fool you. We can tell you from firsthand experience that this is one hardcore Mixed Martial Arts endurance workout!
And here's some shocking news – BODYCOMBAT® 43 has no recovery tracks! Why? Because we want you to get even fitter. You will be seriously challenged, but stay with the fight – the benefit is that you'll get into phenomenal shape.
This release opens the door for new and modern Martial Arts to be welcomed into the BODYCOMBAT® family. Try out your skills with the Shoot to take the fight from standing to the ground in Track 4. This move will help you to push over your opponent while giving you a burning leg workout at the same time.
Guess which blockbuster film inspired Track 6? Just watch out for that Back Kick section – it's gonna hurt, but this ain't no time for 'parlay'.
Once we've Overloaded your shoulders in Track 8, your new conditioning move, the Tripod Push Up, will have you begging for mercy, making you totally appreciate the extended Cooldown.
BODYPUMP 73 Sizzler
BODYPUMP® 73 is challenging, bordering on punishing, but it will leave you with a great sense of achievement. We've got intense isolated work in store for you,especially in the Chest, Triceps, Biceps and ShouldersTracks. Get prepared right now for the huge cardio endurance work in Tracks 2, 4 and 7.
Musically, this release holds a real contrast of genres that will get you through the intensity of the workout. Feel strong and onfident as the chart-topping music pushes you to new limits.
Get ready for big blocks of Singles that will really drive your heart rate up in the Squats Track. The awesome anthem DOA will motivate you to keep going all the way to the end. You'll not only feel this one in your legs – your heart will be pumping hard too.
It's a party on the bench in Track 3! Watch out for the days of the week in I Gotta Feeling – a week has never felt so long for your chest. Next is the crescendo of athleticism that is Track 4. Four blocks of powerful back work will take you to a cardio adrenaline-pumping high.
For Triceps, we've got isolated work that just doesn't back off but the massive song will help you make it through. There's no hiding in this one, evacuate the PUMP floor! Then, get ready for pain in the Biceps – hello ¾ Range Singles!
Smells Like Teen Spirit brings more pain for the shoulders in Track 8, before a new exercise, the Alternate Leg Extension & Twist, spices up Jordin Sparks' remake of the hit S.O.S.
BODYSTEP 79 Sizzler
BODYSTEP® 79 brings Latino and South Pacific vibes, cardio peaks that will push your heart rate through the roof and possibly the most intense leg burn yet.
We've got Boom Boom Pow in Track 1 to really get you warm. Track 2 will have you singing along like a diva to the Freemasons' mix of Whitney Houston's Million Dollar Bill. Check out the new arm combo – you'll feel like a pop star on MTV. You'll move around the step with some Spanish flava in Track 3. Move like a 'Torero' (bullfighter) or a Flamenco dancer. Let's Get Excited in Track 4. Look out for the surprise Madonna moment!
Moonwalk through Track 5 to Blood On The Dance Floor. You'll work your lower body, toning and shaping the legs. Add flava by striking a pose each time you hear him scream! Start working your way up to the tough cardio peak in Track 6. Squat Jumps, ouble Jumps, Nutcrackers – Nod Ya Head if you're gasping for breath already! The low options are there if you need them. Watch out for the great new move in Track 7, the Step Jump. This is propulsion training at its highest! Get up even Higher in Track 8 with some Latino flava.
I Got A Girl in Track 9 is a super-quick Speed Step Track for the boys. Get your feet moving double time with the new Zigzag Combo. The King of Pop is still in the building with the cover of Smooth Criminal in the first part of Track 11. This is possibly the most intense leg burn to date!
BODYATTACK 68 Sizzler
Welcome to the exciting, sports-focused BODYATTACK® 68! This program is evolving and we've got a challenge for you – the athletic focus means that you'll need to step out of aerobics mode and enter sport and Personal Training mode. So, DIAL IT UP! Challenge yourself, and your members will be inspired to follow.
We'll kick off with the huge hit Evacuate The Dancefloor and then Don't Upset The Rhythm as you'll Pony your way through Track 2.
Are You Gonna Go My Way? Track 4 brings an inspiring Rock feel that will push you to your first cardio peak, blocking high balls on the volleyball court. Do you like Track 5? I know I Like It! This song will motivate you through all those Push Ups and the Superman stability training.
Game on in Track 7! Get ready for some true American football training with the Dodge Hops and the Heisman, to fend off your opponents. The sports-inspired training is all about improving your speed, agility and fitness. Are you in?

BODYBALANCE 48 Sizzler
BODYBALANCE® 48 is a journey towards peace.This release will lead you from the epic battle of Ben-Hur, through protest and reflection, and finally into deep understanding and awareness of your body and the world around you.
We'll begin with a sword-dance inspired by the Love Theme From Ben Hur, and then sink more deeply into our breath than we've ever gone before in the Sun Salutations Track.
The Balance Track feels like a massive hug – you'll understand once you experience this track. You'll then expand your hip horizons with the 3-Legged Down Dog with open hip in Track 5.
Find your beat in the Core – Abdominals Track. Here's your chance to break out of the BODYBALANCE® mold and beat your protesting drums on the floor. We are One Tribe!
Begin to wind down into calm to the emotional Before The Worst. Then fall even further with Kelly Clarkson's Already Gone, before experiencing the phenomenal beauty of our remake of Moby's Study War.
The meditation to Wildflowers asks for true reflection on the joy already present in our lives – the perfect note on which to end the class.
BODYJAM 52 Sizzler
BODYJAM® 52 is a smorgasbord of style, an assortment of sensations and a cacophony of choreography. This release is so super-awesome that we've given you a whole extra bonus block to teach!
That's right, teach the Dark Block or teach the Bonus Pop Block – it's your choice! Dubstep or Whitney?
The Warmup is a euphoric journey of movement exploration, before Shakira makes you howl with the Backward Hip Roll in Track 2. Then it's time to bring your butt to the party in our all-new Merengue track, Gualando by Fulanito.
The Dark Block is unlike anything you've ever heard before – it's phat, huge and driving. The contrasting sounds of Gangsta rap and Dancehall crazy come together in a trailblazing fusion of Dubstep madness.
In the recovery, T-Pain will have you tugging and pulling at your clothes, but no matter what you do, DO NOT TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF!
Then lose your mind (again) to the hottest music on the planet – Major Lazer is blowing up worldwide with New Age Jamaican Electro Dancehall craziness. Right Hand Hi from Kid Sister comes from the sickest House producers in the world. Then the sounds from Jump Smokers and Vandalism will blow your head off, BODYJAM® style.
Beyoncé brings the party to a close, but don't forget about the Bonus Pop Block! JT, Britney, Whitney – what more needs to be said? IT'S BODYJAM® TIME!
RPM 46 Sizzler
Welcome to the party! The intense mix of new and old chart-toppers in RPM™ 46 will push you to a calorieburning endorphin high as you become one with the Tribe.
A flashback to the 1990s kicks off our out-of-this-world workout with Jamiroquai's Cosmic Girl. You know that "tonight's gonna be a good night" in Track 2 when we really get the party started in the Pace Track. Kelly Clarkson will carry you through your first climbing challenge before you'll dive deep into Paul Van Dyke's nurturing song, Home.
Rock your way through the epic Intervals Track with The Pretender using four big gears. Your leg muscles will be burning in the standing attacks! Then slide forwards in the saddle and really push yourself in the sprints in Track 6. Release your mind and your legs to the beautifully internal Sincere For You.
Let's Evacuate The Dancefloor in Track 7 to truly finish off this party. We've got five big mountains to climb before Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown take us home.
BODYVIVE 14 Sizzler
Welcome to the 1980s – get out your leg warmers and leotards! BODYVIVE™ 14 will take you on an uplifting journey through some of the best tracks from this awesome decade. This release is simple, easy to learn and has lots of options.
You'll get off to a great start, warming up to Wham!'s I'm Your Man, before getting Footloose in the Dance Cardio Track. The Heart Fitness block is a little longer than usual, so enjoy!
The second half of the class is full of challenging legwork that's going to give you More Than A Feeling in your lower body. Be prepared for lots of Lunges and Warrior 1's and 2's. We'll then stay down in Funky Town and get another six minutes of butt-kickin' work to get us in fantastic shape!
Express Yourself in the Upper Body Strength Track while singing along to the cover of Madonna's classic. This is a great chance to strengthen and tone your arms.
You'll get hit by another old favorite – Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up – which will get you through the new move in the Ab Strength Track, the Knee Half Circle. You'll squeeze the VIVE™ ball behind your knees with your toes on the floor and then lift and move your knees in a half circle to each side. Next, get ready for a challenge – we have Chest and Tricep Push Ups in store for you to get rid of the waddle.
Then we'll finally allow you to Release & Restore to Cyndi Lauper, letting your True Colours shine through.

Here's the thing about writing: it's always easier to say something with 1,000 words than it is to say the same thing with 10. So it's no wonder that writing and delivering an elevator pitch is something that even the savviest small business owners struggle with. How do you elegantly balance all the different information that needs to be included? How do you do it without blabbing for too long? How do you hook someone into being on your side and interested in hearing more when you only have 60 seconds or so? Undoubtedly, it's a big task, and more than anything, trial and error will illuminate what works and what doesn't for your particular business' elevator pitch. That said, there are a few points you can things you can do, no matter what your business, audience, or industry, to make your elevator pitch work well.
- Hit all the basics
Just to recap, here are the things your elevator pitch must touch on: who you are, what you do, who your customers are, what you want from the person you're talking to.
- Forego the jargon
There are plenty of opportunities to get into the details of what you/your business does, but the elevator pitch should really be plain English. It's such a succinct little speech; if you throw industry jargon in there, you're going to lose the focus of your audience, whether that's one person at a networking event, or a room full of potential investors. There's a time and context for jargon, but the elevator pitch is not it.
- Practice it…a lot
Being truly effective at summing up your business, your customers/clients, and infusing some action into an encounter with someone – and doing all of that in a minute or so – is a skill that merits practicing. So practice. Give your elevator pitch to your husband, your dog, your mirror, your 6-month-old baby. The more you say it, the more natural and effortless and confident it will seem when it really matters – and you should aim for as many chances as possible to convey those qualities.
- Include a call to action
It's all well and good to be able to briefly summarize your business and clientele for someone, but it's like that the reason you want them to hear your elevator pitch is because you either want to work with them, or get money from them. That's the bottom line. So your pitch absolutely needs to include a call to action: tell them – in clear, professional words with positive energy – how you see their role in the business you just described to them. Whether it's as a client, an investor, a consultant, or an employee, let your audience know what your aim is in the conversation.
- Customize for your audience
Speaking of the people on the receiving end of your elevator pitch, it's a good idea to tailor your pitch for different kinds of conversations. If you're talking to a potential client, talk up your services, how this person and their business specifically would benefit from working with you, and try to get them excited about a follow-up meeting. On the other hand, if you're talking to a room full of potential investors, you want to highlight the value of your company, your potential, and how their support would be fundamental to mutually beneficial growth. All of your "spin-off" pitches will likely look very similar, but it's the subtle changes that greatly increase their effectiveness in any given situation.

Like fine lines around the mouth and eyes, the Creeping appears gradually—one day, nothing, the next mysteriously there.
The wind signals its arrival and whispers its coming through branches and leaves. The hazy film of heat and humidity yields to its presence and fades into memory.
The mornings dawn bright, crisp.
Dusk falls cool and crystal clear.
The Creeping carries the scent of fresh wood and evergreen. Lingers on the tongue.
T-shirts give way to sweat-shirts. Shorts to jeans. Tennis shoes for sandals.
The Creeping invites its friends: football, apple cider, Halloween, and Jack Frost to travel by its side.
Days are shorter. Daylight savings times begins.
Mother Nature paints her leaves bright orange, brilliant red, and striking yellow in celebration.
The Creeping has arrived.
Fall is here.

#BetweenTheSheets With Kirk Muyres
#MrSmiles talks Saskatchewan, Brier, family and growing the sport
Welcome to another edition of #BetweenTheSheets my friends. This week, I am going to forego my weekly #PowerRankings and predictions. With the European Championships still going on and many teams taking the week off to prepare for the next two weeks of headline events, this seemed like the perfect time to shift focus. This season I have not only wanted to up my #curling blog game through slight additions to the weekly post but also provide fans of the sport the opportunity to get to know some of the athletes we cheer for on a weekly basis. In the past, I have been honoured to have Jamie Koe and Mark Kean join the #TwineTime family. This week, the small blog welcomes a new member: Kirk Muyres! This is also post #99 for #TwineTime. Quite a remarkable feat I think. Number #99 is tied to the Great One. I have found my own edition of a curling "Great One" for this post. As a born and raised Sasky boy, I am a huge supporter of all athletes who come from my home province. As a curling fan (and as you will know if you read this blog or follow my twitter account), I am a HUGE fan of Team Laycock. I am an even bigger fan of vice Kirk Muyres. The opportunity to have a conversation with him during a tour event in Edmonton was an honour....and a total #fanboy moment to be honest.Kirk Muyres (KM): We always said we can stay together and keep playing together as long as we get better every year and we have been doing that steadily. It's easier to do perhaps if you are 20th or 15th or even 10th (in the world rankings) but we have kind of made that jump to top 5 now. The gains are a lot smaller. We may not necessarily get a rise in rankings but we have some indicators on whether we have improved or not. Ideally we want to be the best team in the world and win the worlds, get a trial spot and go from there.
Let's all go #BetweenTheSheets with #MrSmiles himself, Kirk Muyres!
TwineTime (TT): We are here with Kirk Muyres for a little #BetweenTheSheets action. A new season is underway and building off the successes of last season, what are the goals and outcomes for @teamlaycock this season?

TwineTime (TT): We are here with Kirk Muyres for a little #BetweenTheSheets action. A new season is underway and building off the successes of last season, what are the goals and outcomes for @teamlaycock this season?
KM: It's more on closing of gaps I guess you could call it. We identify areas where we are not good enough at to be the best in the world...and we have about 4 or 5 those right now. At the end of the season, the coach comes with us to every event, and we tally up our indicators and we will know if we have closed those gaps. But at the end of the day we still need to be highly ranked, we still need to be on TV for sponsors and we need to win a lot of games. You don't want to think of the outcome of winning games but it is what we have to do.TT: That makes a lot of sense. You brought up the fact of whether to stick together or not and we see that happening a lot, especially with the Olympic cycle. Do you guys have that conversation on a regular basis and, if so, how does that conversation go?
KM: It's a yearly conversation. It comes to whether everyone is willing to put in the work to become better. Lots of things can happen in a person's life: family, work, whether they are enjoying it, whether they want to be on the road, whether they want to be in the gym every morning, whether they want to be on the ice every day. You have to make that decision and if everyone is willing to do it then we can go ahead. We have that conversation once a year and if so, we go forward.TT: Going into this season, was it clear cut in committing to the four-year cycle with a hope of making the Olympics?
KM: Yup! It was a decision we were going to step back from work a little bit to the point where we kind of treat it as a professional job. Every morning we are at the rink. It is nice we all live in the same city so we can do that. We said every day we have to find a way to practice more. Our lives got in the way when we got home from curling. We had to go to work, we had to wash our clothes, we had to do this and do that...we just weren't getting good enough from just playing every weekend. We had to practice more. To do that, we had to put the jobs aside a little bit. We still wanted to have time for family. What we did was say we needed to make enough money curling where we could actually put our jobs aside. Thanks also to the sponsors in Saskatchewan who are helping us achieve our dream and hopefully we are giving them value back through increased exposure.TT: I think you guys are seeing an advantage in being from Saskatchewan. And perhaps that is something unique. Is it a different culture maybe in Saskatchewan? We are not seeing a bunch of teams and players in Saskatchewan jumping ship and making changes to teams as much as we see in Alberta or Ontario or Manitoba. Is that maybe a culture we have in Saskatchewan?
KM: Yeah, that's a good question. I don't know. I've never thought about it actually. I don't know if I have an answer for that. We always talk about how there is not necessarily those big top guys, the Koe's, the Stoughton's, the Howard's, but there is so many good teams. These teams will play 5 or 6 weekends a year, do well, be happy with how they have done and move it forward to next year. The depth in Saskatchewan is unbelievable. Guys you may not know of but for two years in a row to get to the Brier we for sure had to play our best and better than we had in any other event throughout the year. Bar none! It's a provincial championship and that shows you the depth involved in Saskatchewan.
KM: I hope so! There are a lot of young guys in the province who are very good curlers and starting to come on. We are very strong believers in the fact that we need other teams pushing us. I have told a lot of young guys I hang around with in the province, should they want any information or knowledge on how we do things, we are more than happy to share. Even Martin and Ferby over the years, they just pushed each other. Look at Burtnyk and Stoughton. Or Stoughton and McEwen. They were constantly pushing each other. Now look at Carruthers and McEwen. I think you need that. We are certainly starting to get that out of the guys in Saskatchewan. We will encourage that until the day we die. Maybe we are encouraging it in a bit of a selfish means because we want other teams pushing us.TT: Exactly and you guys only get better in the long run as well.
KM: Absolutely!TT: Another thing you guys do very successfully is live stream all your games. I believe you are the only team on tour to do this, or at least the first. What brought that decision around? Why did you guys decide to do that?
KM: For one, we wanted a way in which we could watch film and objectively talk about things. Everyone sees things a little bit different out on the ice and then you have the conversation after and someone says "no, that's not what happened!" But now we know. We said what we need to do is just record it. Dallan (Muyres) said, "Why don't we just stream it online and our family can watch it?" Then we took it another level and said we can let everyone watch. We now have a few sponsors on board who are supporting it. I think we got over 25,000 hits last year. It's been really good for us. Plus we still have the video. People can now watch us. We have our quality up this year again thanks to some sponsors helping us out. I think it's a winner and we will see more teams start to do it. It might be the way of the future with some of the events.TT: Especially for the events that are not grand slams or televised, it really is the only way to watch and an opportunity to interact with the fans. I know many fans on twitter and social media talk about it and love that you do it. Props to you guys!
KM: It really is good for everyone.TT: And I am assuming sponsors love it!
KM: Oh absolutely. *laughing* That is what it's all about.TT: That's right! Let's shift a bit and talk about what it's like to come from a curling family. Both your dad and your uncle went to the Brier. What is it like having them in your ear, there to help. Is it sometimes too much? Not enough? How do you balance the support?
KM: I don't know any different I suppose. It is what it is. I think it is good. It's always nice to talk about your passion. This is all I do. This is all we do. It is nice to have that common interest with your family. It is pretty neat I get to travel around with my dad and my brother all winter and we get to spend just about every day together. That is pretty cool! You go home for Christmas and the uncle's are talking the same thing. You learn lots. Growing up, I used to play with my dad and my two uncles. You just learn so much. We have been progressing together.TT: That is very cool. Now one question I have been asking everyone who sits down with me is what is your one favourite curling moment of your career so far?
KM: Hmmm, it has to be winning that first provincials. We never knew if it was going to happen. I remember when I was 19 saying how I would try to get on a good team, play the Sask tour and see if I can get up to a Brier. That is kind of the progression. I was lucky enough to go at 23. And now twice at 24. It is pretty cool. The one thing about curling, in the curling circles, there is a lot of people who care. But outside it, nobody really knows a whole bunch about it unless it is the Brier. Everyone knows the Brier. Now when you talk about curling and say "I'm a curler" people ask "Did you go to the Brier?" Now I can say I have. That is probably the proudest moment. Winning the bronze medal last year as well. You know lots of people have a sour taste about that bronze medal but a 24 year old kid wins a bronze medal at the Brier, it helped elevate our team and when you get to say you won a bronze medal at the Brier it holds a bit of weight. Those are probably the two proudest moments.
KM: Hmmm. I always joke around with things in terms of fan engagement and player engagement. There is a fine balance between maybe golf etiquette and hockey. What is the right way for curling to go? Golf has a different appeal, being on the course, a nice summer day in America with lots of people watching. I often wonder if maybe is it the right thing to do to get the crowds booing and into it. Some heckling of the curlers. Maybe even a bit of the curlers heckling back. Curlers yelling at each other on the ice. I don't know for sure. Look at the Jays season. That was awesome...it was cool. Look at Ben (Hebert) and Rich Hart at the 2009 trials. You never forget those things. Those are what fans want to see. They want to see that experience. A little more fan engagement, really encourage that and that kind of atmosphere. When you go to any other professional sport, you want to make noise and you want to do things. You want to act like you played a part in the outcome. Curling doesn't have that and I wonder if it should. I honestly just don't know. But that is what I would lean towards.
KM: I know, I know. It is a tough one. There is a bit of that. Everyone can hear what you say on the ice when you are on TV. You always have to play the TV crowd which will then pull them into the arena. People like that. Maybe Kirk Muyres and Braeden Moskowy will give a little back and forth and a little chat. People will maybe think that is pretty cool because you don't see that as often. I don't know what the right way is but I think there has to be some way to get the players and the atmosphere in the building to be a little more electric.TT: Yeah, I agree. It would be awesome to see and hopefully we can get there.
KM: It's a work in progress. But look at the TV ratings curling is starting to get and we are starting to fill those arena's at slam events. Rogers has done an amazing job! For them, the TV numbers are good. I think we are going in the right direction.TT: Yeah, it does seem that way. Now in bringing up your reference on golf, you obviously golf?
KM: Not well!TT: Ok, not well. *laughing*
KM: *laughing* On occasion though.TT: You hit the green on occasion at least. What if we gave you a curling mulligan? Either a shot or a specific game where you just want a re-do.
KM: The 3vs4 game at the (2015) Brier. Bar none!TT: Yeah I kind of thought that might be your answer.
KM: It is one of those games where you just wish you could re-do it. At the same time, you hope you get back. You may never get back but you hope you do. That is why you really want a re-do, you might never be back. The big one is I learned so much over the summer from that one game. I have implemented things I need to change so it doesn't happen again. It's a learning experience. Everyone goes through it. As long as you learn something from it, next time you are going to be better off. But I want that 3vs4 game back!TT: For sure. But a strong point as well, always a learning experience.
KM: Exactly!TT: Ok let's play a little rapid fire with you.
KM: Ok!TT: Stanley Cup prediction?
KM: I don't have a clue.TT: Do you have a favourite hockey team?
KM: Naw. When I was little I loved the Avalanche but I haven't watched a hockey game in 10 years.TT: Wow! Good to know. Super Bowl prediction?
KM: Yeah, I don't have a clue.TT: Ok, not a sports guy at all?
KM: Nope not at all.
KM: Ummm....hidden talent? Do I have a hidden talent? Hidden talent...hmmm. No, nothing.TT: Ok you cannot be 0 for on every question here.
KM: Oh man I am 0 for. Ok hidden talent. I don't do much of anything.TT: Ok you are not selling us Saskatchewan boys very well here either.
KM: I have a real knack for business. A strong knack for business. We will call that my hidden talent.TT: Ok that is fair...and a good thing to have. That works. Tattoos or piercings?
KM: Oh tattoos.TT: Nice. You have a tattoo?
KM: No. I am talking tattoo's on women.TT: Ok, also a good call. Tattoo's are hotter than piercings.
KM: Oh for sure.TT: Walk up song, if you could have any song to play for curling. What would it be? And I mean just you...not Team Laycock.
KM: I'm going to go with Colby Rasmus and "Boys Round Here" (Blake Shelton). We watched a Jays game and he walked out to that, it was pretty sick!TT: Oh nice, very good call there. Biggest rival in curling?
KM: Braeden Moskowy
KM: (Colton) Flasch might be getting up there when he starts sweating and hasn't showered...I mean...washed his stuff.TT: *laughing* Ok. Loudest guy on tour?
KM: Flasch! *laughing*TT: *laughing* Whoa the double dip response. Curling mentor or idol?
KM: My dad for sure. 100%.TT: Very good answer. If you could assemble an All-Star team, past or present, any sport, who would be your perfect curling team?
KM: I'd go with: Skip – Kevin Martin; 3rd – I got to be on the team?TT: You can or cannot. Up to you?
KM: Ok, then I have to go with myself of course. I have to play.TT: Gotta go with the ego a bit right?
KM: Exactly. Marc Kennedy would be 2nd. And...hmmm....I'm thinking Steve Gould lead.TT: Nice. That is a good team. So the last thing we do is an #AskTheCurler section where we have our previous interviewee become the interviewer. The last person I interviewed was Mark Kean and he was able to ask you any question. He wanted to know: "What is it really like curling with your brother? And you cannot just say it's a lot of fun because we are brothers. We want the truth!"
TT: For sure, that makes sense. But you wouldn't change it? You love it?KM: Nope. I would change it if he wasn't good! *laughing* But as long as he is the best lead out there, we will be ok.
TT: Well then that would bring back your hidden talent and your business side taking over.KM: *laughing* There ya go!
TT: Now this also means it is your turn to ask a question. My next interview will be with Matthew Blandford. What question would you like to ask him?KM: Why did he move to Alberta from The Rock (Newfoundland and Labrador)? Isn't he from The Rock?
TT: *laughing* He is originally from The Rock.KM: We were out there in Paradise, NL (for the Tour Challenge) and it was beautiful. And then he blew it and moved out here. He must work in the patch.
TT: He is also the last man to beat Brad Gushue at a provincial championship.KM: Ohhhh yeah? Ok...wow! He could have went to the Brier with Newfoundland year's and year's over.
TT: Who knows? But that will be my question I will ask him.KM: Right on man.
TT: Thank you so much for taking time and doing this Kirk. All the best on the rest of the season.KM: You bet, anytime. Thank you! You are doing a helluva job.
TT: Well thank you. I appreciate that.
There you have it rock heads and stoners. I hope you enjoyed getting to know the man behind the smile, Kirk Muyres, as much as I did. Toss him and Team Laycock a follow on twitter as well if you are not following them already. Be sure to check #TeamOranje out on tour next week at the Home Hardware Canada Cup of Curling in Camrose, AB.
Special thank you goes out once again to Kirk Muyres for taking the time to chat with me, mid-event. Best of luck to him and Team Laycock for the remainder of this season and in the future.

Capital measure provides CytoPharma GmbH with fresh capital of around EUR 1.7 million
Funds to be used to finance cardiovascular division at CytoPharma GmbH
CytoTools plans to extend existing scientific approaches to new indications
Darmstadt, June 23, 2014 The Shareholders Meeting of CytoPharma GmbH has unanimously approved a capital increase totalling around EUR 1.7 million. The capital has been provided by two existing shareholders and by new shareholders. CytoTools AG participated in this round with approximately EUR 0.3 million, thus maintaining its stake in CytoPharma GmbH at significantly above 40%. The additional liquidity will enable CytoTools AG to continue to support the successful research activities at this subsidiary. It will begin to plan implementation of its existing cardiovascular research pipeline in initial clinical studies.
As a licensee of CytoTools patents, CytoPharma GmbH has a number of promising active substance candidates in the field of cardiovascular diseases. These can now be prepared for clinical trials and to generate initial human data. Furthermore, CytoTools is planning additional clinical studies on Derma Pro®, a well characterized active substance, whose application potential is now to be extended to further indications outside its main dermatological focus.
Other existing shareholders also exercised their subscription rights on a grand scale in this capitalization round and we see this as a mark of great confidence. The shareholders are recognizing the great progress we have made in scientific development work at CytoPharma. This capital measure will enable CytoPharma to move its promising product candidates forward to the clinical stage, commented Dr. Mark-Andre Freyberg, CEO of CytoTools AG.
As well as transferring active substance candidates to clinical projects, in the coming weeks and months the company will also be holding talks for partnerships with other biotech and pharmaceuticals companies. CytoTools aims to forge alliances and partnerships with other interested biotech and pharmaceuticals players both for its cardiovascular division and for its DermaPro® substance and its application in new indications. At the end of June, CytoTools will be holding talks and negotiations for this purpose at the BIO 2014 International Convention, the worlds largest biotech fair in San Diego (USA).
This press release contains specific future-oriented statements. These reflect the opinion of CytoTools on the date of this release. The actual results achieved by CytoTools could substantially deviate from the future- oriented statements made. CytoTools is not obligated to update these future-oriented statements.

When the Easter Bunny gets censored
The project started out with my brother-in-law contacting me because he was looking for a unique Easter gift for his girlfriend.
He wanted a dark gray, generally egg-shaped glass piece that can be hung up with a bunny and a heart.
That afternoon, my husband and I did some brainstorming on a design.
Now, folks, here is what happens when a guy designs an Easter decoration for his bother.
I have to admit, I was greatly amused throughout the entire process of making it. That just goes to show how much my husband has rubbed off on me over the years. Initially, I was said to have no humor whatsoever (aka "Germans don't do humor. They do beer!"), hehe.
Hopefully, my brother-in-law's girlfriend will like her Easter decoration as much as I have enjoyed making it!
Time to refill my Etsy store
Slowly but surely I am working on adding some more pieces to my Etsy store. It's about time too!
The first piece I added was the deep pendant from the last post. But I also finished two more pendants that are now available:
Photo Update of a Matching Art Glass Pendant
I finished a pendant that matches the cocktail ring I posted a little while ago.
Here are some pictures:
The glass is cold worked and very deep. So, the view from the side is quite dimensional, especially since some of the glass is perfectly clear.
Once I have a little time to spare, this pendant will likely end up in my Etsy store.
Brand New Handmade Cocktail Ring
I finally managed to finish a new jewelry piece recently.
It's been much too long since I had the time and motivation to make anything truly new.
I have a couple more pieces that came out of the kiln along with this one but they all still need a little work and so I cannot show them to you yet.
It is not very often that I make rings and this cold-worked fused art glass cocktail ring is quite the rarity for me.
The colorful and very eye-catching glass piece sits on top of a sterling silver ring, which is adjustable to many different sizes.
I am now working on a matching pendant and I am pretty sure that both will end up in my personal jewelry box rather than in my Etsy store. But there will probably be more like this piece in the near future.
My new Glass-Fancy.com Website
I have been spending some time updating my website.
The old one was looking a bit patchy and I really wanted something smoother looking.
Well, … here is a sneak peek!
It may or may not be fully functional yet, so if you do run into any problem, please check back in a few days and everything should be up and running.
Let me know what you think, please!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
It has been a long time since my last post.
I finished the semester and despite the fact that I had some health problems and ended up in the hospital smack in the middle of almost midterm time, I managed to do really well in the classes I took.
Now I finally have a little bit of time to play with glass again and that called for a new line of furniture knobs and pulls.
I was really attempting to do something that looks distinctly different from the ones I had done in the past and so I went with the tack fusing technique.
The first ones I did were all based on the principle of a bright solid color on a black background and are full of contrast and very bold looking.
Then I started thinking about maybe trying this pattern on a light background with transparent glass and that is when things turned out a bit funky.
Personally, I did find, they border on ugly but when I asked my husband, he said they would probably look OK when you see them on a piece of furniture. So, I went and took some pictures of them on my entertainment center and I have to admit, he is somewhat right, but not entirely.
At this point, I really wasn't sure what I thought about them anymore. I was stuck looking at them all the time but actually seeing less and less.
So, I put the question to the people of Facebook and the Zibbet forum. I asked for brutally honest opinions. I did get some comments from people who didn't like them and I was most impressed with that. I think it's always easier to leave positive feedback than negative and I appreciate these people chancing some kind of bad reaction since sometimes "your honest opinion" doesn't necessarily mean that.
I also got a lot of positive feedback (which I, obviously, appreciate as well!!!) and some very interesting thoughts.
All in all, this made me realize how different something can look to different people. I used to think that everybody sort of sees the same color, for example, but some simply prefer something that looks lighter or darker etc. Now, I wonder whether different people actually see something entirely different based on their brains interpreting the visual information in a completely different manner.
I think this is so very fascinating that I wish I could do some kind of actual experiment. I wonder whether there already is some scientific study on that.
Well, now that I am almost entirely off topic, I will close my ramblings by thanking everybody that took part in my opinion poll! It was very interesting and helpful and it resulted in me listing the knobs that I would have otherwise just throw into a dark corner of my 'dungeon of glass'.
One of these things is not like the others
Recently, I have finished 4 new cold worked fused glass pendants.
Actually, none of them are very new at all.
I tend to keep one or two fused pieces from most of the batches I fire and put them into a box for safe keeping. They usually remain there until there comes a time when I have too much other stuff going on and don't have any time for fusing. At that point, I grab one here and there and finish them.
When I looked at the 4 finished pieces, what popped in my mind was the Sesame Street game and song "One of these Things is not like the Others" and it's basically been stuck there ever since.
So, let's line 'em up and see if you can figure out which one is not like the others:
… ♫ … before I finish this song. =)
Enough with the stripes! Bring on the cracks!
I just wanted to introduce you to my new Fracture line of knobs (Name courtesy of Nic East).
It seemed to me that I have been stuck for too long in the stripes kind of mood. So I tried something entirely different this time.
To me, they have a cartoon sort of look so I'm thinking of a cabinet in a young teenager's room.
What do you think?
They say, admission is the first step.
I admit, I am a KNOBAHOLIC!
Lately, any creative idea that pops into my head has something to do with knobs and/or pulls. I cannot help myself!
I have had these symptoms before regarding other creative stuff and I know from experience that I just have to ride it out.
School is going to start in a few days and that will put a damper on my knobbing, so I enjoy it while it lasts.
Here are some pictures of the latest cabinet knobs and pulls I made.
Another idea that is growing in my mind is the third part of my Tips and Tricks for Product Photography.
It is very likely going to be about non-misleading photo editing. So, I am already gathering material but the idea will still have to marinate a little longer.
My new website for the fused glass cabinet knobs & pulls
If you follow my blog, you know that I have been working on developing a line of handmade fused glass cabinet knobs and pulls.
Previously, I have been making fused glass jewelry and my website, Etsy and Artfire store are dedicated to jewelry. So, I thought it would make more sense to separate the two categories and make a new website and Etsy store for only the knobs and pulls.
I found this awesome site that enables you to make a flash-based website for free. They have so many great looking templates that are easy to modify to your requirements and you don't need to know anything about any code or how to make a website at all.
It came out great! Click on the picture below and check it out!

With NYC and Los Angeles still the central hot spots for the American rock music scene, being a working musician in South Florida can be challenging. Even so, Florida-based guitarist / songwriter Billy Livesay rises to the occasion with Hold On Life Is Calling, his 2016 album with the Miami-based band The Livesays. Billy cut his teeth working with Springsteens sax man, the late Clarence Clemons as well as touring with Tone Stevens of Foghat and Savoy Brown, and as this CD proves, The Livesays really pull out the stops with the action-packed sound of Hold On Life Is Calling. As a singer-songwriter, lead guitarist and front man, Billy takes the pop-rock music art form to unexpected heights with the Livesays 2016 album release. Speaking about this 2016 rock classic, Billly tells mwe3.com, As the group The Livesays, this is our fourth album. The first, Little Bit Of Hurt was a bit more bluesy/country-rock. There was a different line-up of musicians that influenced the direction at that time. Hold On Life Is Calling is an evolution of 2011s Rose Colored Glasses and 2014s Faith, Hope And Love. I dont consider it the best because I love the last 2 albums. Again, its just a musical evolution. The music on Hold On Life Is Calling spans the range of human emotions, from lost and unrequited love to parental loss and socially satirical diatribes about the chaos of life in the 21st century. Showcasing Billy's Springsteen-influenced songs, all tastefully backed up by the rock-steady band sound of Victor Cuqui Berrios (keys, vocals), Jorge Laplume (bass) and Eddie Zyne (drums), Hold On Life Is Calling is an action-packed, hook-heavy album of memorable pop-rock classics by South Floridas best rock group, The Livesays. www.thelivesaysmusic.com

Normandy Teacher, Former Olympian Inducted into Missouri Sports Hall of Fame
PASADENA HILLS, MO – Students and staff at Jefferson Elementary School are beaming with pride as they celebrate the induction of Denise McField into the 2019 Missouri Sports Hall of Fame for Track and Field.
McField, a physical education teacher at Jefferson, was among a group of people honored for their contributions to the Berkeley and McCluer South-Berkeley High School Track and Field programs. They were recently recognized during the induction ceremony in Springfield, Mo., for having won a combined 28 state team championships between 1982 and 2017.
As head coach at Berkeley High School from 1986 to 1993, McField's girls track and field teams won state championships in 1990, 1991, and 1993.
To fellow Hall of Fame inductee and former student Pasha Lewis, McField was more than just a coach.
Lewis ran for "Coach Mc," as she affectionately calls McField, from 1990 to 1992 during her freshman, sophomore, and junior years.
"She brought things out of me that I didn't know that I had in myself," Lewis said.
"I was their everything," McField chimed in. "I was their other mama, counselor, best friend, and disciplinarian."
McField leverages her professional background to bring out the natural talents of her students.
As a USA Track & Field-Level 2 certified coach, McField instructs her students on proper mechanics and how to strategically run their races. She also helps students realize the value of their contributions to society as a whole.
With a career that spans more than 30 years, McField has left an everlasting mark.
McField, originally from Spanish Town, Jamaica, represented her home country as an alternate in the 4x100 meter relay in the 1976 Summer Olympics held in Montreal, Canada.
"Jamaica is poor," she said. "We came here because, like a lot of immigrants, my mom wanted us to have a better way of life."
She and her family settled in Brooklyn, N.Y., where she would eventually earn a bachelor's degree in physical education from Brooklyn College. She earned a master's degree in sports medicine and exercise physiology from Indiana State University.
McField relocated to St. Louis in 1983, and began her career as an educator at Cupples Elementary School in the Saint Louis Public Schools.
In 1997, she began teaching at Normandy Middle School in the Normandy School District while serving as an assistant track coach at Normandy High School. She coached at the high school for eight years. She began teaching at Jefferson Elementary in 2014.
McField still finds time to coach for the St. Louis Blues Track Club, a local youth track team. She's coached with the club for the past 20 years.
"I don't expect any type of award for what I do because it comes from my heart," McField said.
- 30 -
CAPTION: Denise McField, physical education teacher at Jefferson Elementary, is a recent inductee into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame for her career in track & field. McField is a former Olympian who was an alternate in the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Canada.

The sandbox is always open, my friends, for those that want to share eclectic musings, surrealist images, and aural delights. My name is Mark Sieber, middle name of Dylan, after Thomas, not Bob. However, I'll answer to Vlad as well.
As you might already suspect, I detect the melody of the written word and can visualize the back-beat in a pop song. That's perhaps why I think in ringtones and post in sound-bites.
But, most of all, I celebrate the moments and the small splendors that enrich our soul.
That ancient sandbox here at Marklewood is flanked in the corners by large bronze urns of yellow peonies & azure-blue lobelia. Behind it is a meandering creek lined with ancient willows.
And if we run scarce of provisions, there is always the bait shop down the dirt road. Not to fear, a zombie hasn't been spotted in this area in several decades.
My spirit navigates freely from that of Pied Piper to bookworm to Lord Fauntleroy to that of a Bohemian crusader. You best pour a healthy cup of coffee or glass of pinot noir.
By trade, I am a disengaged designer, scribe, and recidivist currently living in the hinterlands of Raleigh, North Carolina. I strive to be kind and I seek out those moments of hope that indeed refuel my soul. Often, the most potent of inspiration is found in random human connections, unexpected art finds, and the magic that cloaks our world.
And, yes, we have pets here at Marklewood: a dozen at most recent census. I refer to them fondly as the Twelve Noble & Apostolic Pusses, but they are much more than any label or moniker would suggest. All are indeed rescues or their progeny, with five having been elevated to "indoor" status. The other seven serve sentry here in the stillness of an ancient pine woods.
Alas, poor Tartuffe has been missing since May of '10. Legend has it that he has embarked on some grand theatrical adventure, perhaps in New York. But I like to think that his spirit hovers over head.
"I have stretched ropes from steeple to steeple; garlands from window to window; golden chains from star to star, and I dance." — Arthur Rimbaud

Politicians refuse to admit that deficits are inevitable
Posted on October 9, 2008 in Debates, Governance Debates, Social Security Debates
TheStar.com – Federal Election – Politicians refuse to admit that deficits are inevitable: It is time they explained how they will maintain fiscal discipline in an economic downturn
October 09, 2008. Michael Mendelson
The American economy is headed into a significant downturn. Although the length and depth of the economic malaise is unknown, it will not be short and shallow. While the earlier savings-and-loan debacle and the dot.com collapse were confined to narrow segments of the economy, the U.S. financial crisis currently dominating headlines is symptomatic of a deeper underlying debt crisis.
America has been borrowing about 5 per cent of its GDP each year, through both government and consumers. As the debt mountain has climbed ever higher, the quality of debt (i.e., the ability of the borrower to pay interest and eventually repay the debt) has necessarily deteriorated. The mountain is now collapsing under the weight of low-quality debt and is carrying along with it the financial institutions that built rickety structures along its slopes. But even if these institutions survive with government bailouts, the U.S. economy still has to wring out about 5 per cent of consumption.
As the U.S. economy goes, so goes the rest of the world. Europe is in no way exempt as is already evident. Developing countries such as China and India may recover more rapidly and even continue to grow, albeit less rapidly. In the short run, though, they too rely on exports for a huge portion of their economy. Turning around their economies to rely upon internal demand instead of exports will take time. But of all countries, Canada is least exempt because our economy is most deeply integrated with that of the U.S.
Canada's low level of public debt and its better-regulated banking sector mean that we will probably not suffer a collapse of our own financial institutions (although the U.S. credit collapse will squeeze Canada, too). However, we are predominantly a trading nation and more than 80 per cent of our trade is with the U.S. Consequently, all of our export-oriented manufacturing industry will be hit extremely hard.
Even the robust economies of Western Canada will be affected. Although we usually focus on the price of oil, natural gas is the big export from the West. The natural gas market is confined almost fully to North America and will follow the North American economies downward.
With declining world demand, other commodity prices are likely to continue falling, only to stabilize for a time at lower levels. In addition, many of our businesses are branches of U.S. companies and will be part of those companies' adjustment strategies. Overall, Canada could suffer as much as – if not more than – the U.S.
We can hope that by some enormous stroke of good luck this dire scenario will not be realized. But we need to plan for the worst, while hoping for the best. Even a partial realization of this scenario implies that Canada's governments will face huge revenue losses and climbing program costs – in other words, deficits.
Our political leaders are dealing with likely future deficits mainly by squeezing their eyes tightly shut and repeating the mantra that there will be no deficits. Pressed hard to reveal their strategy for dealing with deficits, they mutter darkly that they will "never permit a deficit" without saying exactly how this magic will occur.
But there is nothing secret about deficit reduction. There are only two ways to eliminate a deficit: Cut spending or increase taxes. Yet either route would be foolish in the midst of a recession. Either route takes money out of the economy and will increase unemployment and misery.
Employment Insurance is a good example. As unemployment goes up, Employment Insurance costs increase. The existing law requires that Employment Insurance balance its accounts over the space of a few years, so there are two choices: Premiums must increase or benefits must be cut. Increasing premiums in a recession will push more companies under water and result in even higher unemployment. Cutting benefits just when increasing numbers of Canadians most need them will raise howls of protest and reduce consumer demand in an economy already suffering from diminished demand, again increasing unemployment. Yet leaving premiums and benefits unchanged will result in a deficit in the EI accounts. What will governments do?
Governments, both in Ottawa and in the provinces, will have deficits. So far, governments have resolutely refused to make public their plans if, in fact, they have any plans and, perhaps as important, have failed to prepare the media and the public for the inescapable fiscal realities. The result will be fiscal mayhem exactly when we can least afford it. Responses will be uncoordinated and sometimes contradictory.
If we take a hard-headed unemotional look at the numbers, Canada can easily afford a few years of deficit financing. We now have the lowest level of debt as a percentage of GDP among the G7 countries and the third-lowest level of taxation, next only to Japan and the U.S. Tax levels in the United States will eventually be higher than those in Canada when it starts to pay for its public debts.
The reward for Canada's fiscal restraint in the fat years is to have earned some fiscal room in the lean years. The problem with deficits is not the mere existence of a financial shortfall. The real problems occur if deficits are too large, if they are built into government budgets as a structural element rather than a cyclical response to temporary conditions, and if they are uncoordinated with economic and monetary policy as a whole.
The challenge Canada faces is not the deficit as such: It is maintaining fiscal discipline even with deficits. Yet, if the line of balanced budgets is crossed, how do we stop ourselves from going a little further? Once the tap is turned on, how do governments resist turning it just a little further to get some political payback from happy recipients of government largesse?
Governments can maintain fiscal discipline by setting clear, sensible guidelines that are possible to maintain even during an economic downturn. Lest this approach be considered pie-in-the-sky, remember there are precedents. The adoption of "fiscal rules," which permit deficits within a disciplined framework, has been incorporated into legislation in some European countries, such as Germany and the U.K.
Canadian fiscal rules should require that deficits go only toward maintaining programs and one-time expenses, such as infrastructure and economic adjustment. Specific budgetary targets could be set by keeping government expenditures within the long-run trend of GDP. Anti-cyclical spending to "fight the recession" should go only for infrastructure investment that will create lasting benefits for many years and lay the foundation for economic recovery.
Canada is headed into stormy economic times. Our governments seem determined to navigate these waters with their eyes closed. We need instead to face reality right now and start realistic planning for the seemingly inevitable moment when the fiscal dam bursts.

It's hard to think of a more maligned group of wildlife than the spiders. Whether our aversion to these eight-legged critters is innate or learned (or a combination), it seems like nearly everyone shares it to a degree. It's not a wholly unwarranted fear, since there are a few highly venomous spiders. But the vast majority of these interesting arthropods are harmless, indeed beneficial, to humans, and spiders play vital roles in maintaining ecological balance.
While some species have been studied in detail in our region, and some Vineyard properties have been well surveyed for spiders, I'm unaware of any comprehensive study of the Island's eight-leggers. But it is clear that hundreds of spider species are out there, industriously preying on insects and other spiders.
I'm sorry to say I share, to a degree, the typical aversion to spiders. Though I realize the fear is irrational, it takes a bit of mental effort for me to hold a spider. And perhaps that's why I've never studied them. But I watch them with interest, and I'm constantly amazed by the abundance and variety of spiders here. As with other wildlife, you don't need to know the name of a species to admire its beauty or its adaptations.
Spiders, of course, are most famous for the production of intricate webs, and the geometrical precision of some webs is as remarkable as the strength, pliability, and versatility of the silk used to construct them. Perhaps half of the world's roughly 40,000 known spider species create webs, varying in design from the well-known round, net-like structure to sheets and funnels. Some webs serve mainly as shelter; others are nets to trap prey, usually capturing a random sample of whatever small invertebrates are flying.
While a web seems like a huge project, I've watched a spider spin one in about an hour. And although the fragile structure is easily damaged by wind or large insects, a spider doesn't much care: it's typical behavior for a spider to eat its own web and recycle the protein into more silk, and many web-weavers do this every day even if the structure is undamaged.
But many spiders have little use for webs. Wolf spiders — generally large, hairy, free-living spiders — run prey down or ambush it on the ground (think pint-sized tarantulas). Most are reportedly nocturnal, though some species are readily observed on the Vineyard during the day. The wolf spiders I've seen taking prey don't appear to be at all fussy: beetles, flies, and other spiders are among the food I've seen them with.
Similarly active are the aptly named jumping spiders, stout, medium-sized and usually dark in color, which have evolved acute vision and the ability to leap many times their body length. (Though they don't form webs, these little athletes can spin silk and may use a strand as a sort of safety line when leaping.) Several members of this group turn up around or even inside houses; while they look menacing, these are docile animals that flee rather than fight, and I'm happy to have them around for their insect-eating talents.
Also worth watching for are crab spiders, so named because their shape and leg configuration make them resemble crabs. Many of these spiders are brightly colored, camouflage for their favorite ambush site: concealing themselves in flowers, crab spiders wait for a fly, wasp, or bee to visit the flower for pollen or nectar, and then the spider — well, you can guess the rest. Crab spiders sucking the juices from the husk of an insect are a common sight if you spend much time with wildflowers.
While the multitude of spiders and the diversity of the habitats and hunting methods make these arthropods formidable hunters, spiders can be prey as well as predator. A bird like the Carolina wren, for example, is optimized for spider-hunting. Churning up leaf litter on the ground, or investigating crevices in bark, wrens snap up spiders in their fine-tipped beaks, and spiders may represent more than 90 percent of a wren's diet at some times of year. Spiders themselves cheerfully eat spiders of other species, and many predatory insects take spiders and other small invertebrates indiscriminately.
Most interesting are certain wasps that deliberately seek out spiders (often a particular species), paralyzing them with a sting and then dragging them to a burrow the wasp has prepared. Inside the burrow, the wasp lays its eggs on the immobilized spider, which, because it is not actually dead, stays fresh until the wasp eggs hatch. The larval wasps feed to maturity on the remains of the spider, eventually emerging to mate, dig their own burrow, and provision it with more spiders.
While many types of spiders may succumb to such wasps, it is usually wolf spiders that I've seen being attacked by wasps; often, the spider is much larger than its conqueror, and this pattern of predation is a fascinating thing to witness. But it's a pretty ordinary example of the intricate ecological relationships spiders are involved in. Hate them, if you must. But give spiders some respect for their talents and importance.

Once again, Brandon from the Geoshow taught us really interesting facts about our topic! This time he took us back to Kentucky to learn about the man before he became our famous President, and just in time for President's Day! We started off with a KWL chart, so we could tweet our questions. Here are a couple from our W's:
Aylana and Sophia would like to know if Abraham Lincoln went to an actual school? #geoshow #ajusdchat #virtualfieldtrip
— Mrs. Moore's Class (@moore_class) February 14, 2017
Brandon responded live to this tweet! He told us that although he loved to learn and read, he hardly attended actual schools. Hiring teachers was very expensive, but he did later teach himself how to be a lawyer.
Sophia has a non Abe question, did baby calves get sick from their mom's milk after they ate White snake root? #geoshow #ajusdchat
— Mrs. Moore's Class (@moore_class) February 14, 2017
This one didn't actually get answered, but there is a little background to this non Abe question. We had just learned his mother died from something called Milk Sickness. This sickness was a result of using cows milk after they had eaten White Snake root. Great question Sophiah!
Here are responses from the L portions of our KWL charts:
- Abraham Lincoln always read out loud, even when he was all alone.
- He was the first president to be assassinated.
- He purchased general shops. These turned out to not be a good investment.
- His nickname was honest Abe.
- He and his wife had separate bedrooms. This was a big deal if you had enough money to have two rooms!
- He grew up in a one room house.
- White Snake root is bad, and his mom died from Milk Sickness.
- He ran a post office.
- He died at 56 years old.
- He was against slavery.
- He had four children, but only one lived to be an adult.
What can you tell us about Abraham Lincoln?

Tibetan Youth Congress marks 40th founding anniversary
October 12, 2009
Phayul - October 08, 2009 By Phurbu Thinley
Dharamsala, Oct 8: Pro-independence Tibetan Youth Congress on Wednesday
marked its 40th founding anniversary by reaffirming its goal of restoring
Tibet's lost independence.
Members of Tibetan Youth Congress and hundreds of supporters gathered at the
Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts (TIPA) compound to observe an elaborate
ceremonial event that began with Tibetan national anthem and a minute-long
silence observed in memory of Tibetan martyrs.
"We are gathered here today to mark the 40th founding anniversary of the
Tibetan Youth Congress since it was first formed on 7 October, 1970, with
the sole objective of restoring Tibet's lost independence from the
repressive Chinese communist rule," said Mr Tsewang Rigzin, President of the
TYC, in his opening statement.
Describing Tibetan Youth Congress as the largest non-governmental
organization in the exile Tibetan community, Tsewang said the organization
remained more determined than ever to achieve its founding goal of freeing
Tibet from Chinese rule and pledged to carry out series of relevant social,
educational and political activities to further its goals.
Reading from a prepared text statement in Tibetan, Tsewang also appealed
both members and general Tibetan populace, both in and outside Tibet, to
render unyielding support to the organisation and stand united in the
Tibetan freedom struggle.
The organization, while respecting the Dalai Lama's leadership role in the
Tibetan freedom struggle, does not, however, approve the "middle-way
approach" seeking "real and meaningful autonomy" for Tibet as advocated by
the exiled Tibetan Leader and the Tibetan Government-in-Exile based in
Dharamsala in resolving the Tibet issue.
Deputy Speaker of the Tibetan Parliament in exile Dolma Gyari was the chief
guest of the anniversary function.
Dolma said Tibetans must draw inspiration from the Indian freedom movement
to put a common front to overcome the challenges faced by the Tibetan
freedom movement.
"Whether we follow the middle-way approach or seek complete independence to
resolve the issue of Tibet, we must not miss the fact that Chinese communist
government is the real and common enemy we are facing," said Dolma. "In a
situation like this, we must not allow our ideological conflict come in the
way of our freedom struggle. If we remain preoccupied with our ideological
stance and create conflict within ourselves it will only contribute division
in the Tibetan community and not towards our freedom struggle," she added.
Urging Tibetans to maintain a strong sense of unity, Dolma went on to insist
various Tibetan NGOs in exile, particularly TYC, to find a way and make
efforts to connect Tibetans in and outside of Tibet, which she said would
benefit greatly to the Tibetan freedom struggle in the long run.
"Indomitable spirit of Tibetans inside Tibet is the strength of the Tibetan
resistance against Chinese rule and we in the exile community must work to
keep that spirit alive," she said.
During the function, the outgoing and the new executive member of the
Regional TYC of Dharamsala were felicitated with Tibetan ceremonial scarves
The Tibetan Youth Congress, which claims some 35,000 registered members
under its 85 regional chapters in 12 countries around the world, has
organized some of the most dramatic "Free Tibet" protests over the years,
often targeting Chinese embassies and consulates in different parts of the
Irked by the organisation's regular protest campaigns around the world,
China has lately, especially after the massive 2008 unrest in Tibet, tried
to denounce the Tibetan pro-independence group by condemning it as a
"violent terrorist" outfits and equating them with Al-Qaeda.
The youth organisation refutes the allegations as being baseless and
unfounded, and discards it as being part of regular Chinese propaganda.
Tibet was forcefully occupied by China after Communist Chinese troops
marched into Tibet in late 1949.
Tibetan spiritual and political leader, the Dalai Lama fled Tibet in 1959
amidst a mass Tibetan uprising on 10 March in Lhasa against Communist
China's continuing presence in Tibet.

In this free 8- day training Aalok will introduce you to the concept of Lifecycle Marketing and show you the six exact processes you need to automate to grow faster
We all need to get more high value tasks done daily. That's the key to success. So if something really needs to be done We can do it – but the trouble is we're too busy and this just traps us. Or an employee can do it – but they're busy too and keep forgetting to do it. Or we can Automate it – then it happens everytime without fail.
By automating your business systems & processes like marketing, sales, training, customer experience, you can make sure things happen consistently 24/7 in your business and without you or your team having to do it all from scratch each time.
This means you can:
In the classic book the E-Myth Michael Gerber talks about working ON your business not IN your business. To free yourself and grow your business you need systems & processes. People nowadays tend to shop around and need to understand how you can help them solve their problems; what is it that makes YOU special. They want to be convinced they are making the best choice and for that reason they will dig deep to see how it has worked for your clients. Only when they build a trusting relationship with you, will they come in or give you a phone call, assured that they have decided wisely. This step is very important and helps you engage with your prospects before they become clients. Using automation is a very crucial step that will help you engage with your prospects before they become your clients. For that reason, capturing their contact details online is critical to building and growing your list, in order to communicate with them systematically until they are ready to take the next step. When the times comes, and they come to see you, a systematic way to answer the phone and emails, present quotes, offers, and payments options, as well as a systematic approach to free consultations (either in person or over the phone, depending on the nature of your business), will lead you to closing the deal. Of course, nothing stops there as you also need a way to follow-up those that did not go ahead at this stage. But, once they become clients, you can go beyond their expectations and offer a superb experience that will WOW them. Now, THAT is what will make them buy more often from you, give you excellent reviews and testimonials, and refer their friends and family to you. What does this mean for you? ZERO acquisition cost for those new clients!
Some people think marketing can be synonymous with "salesy". With automation it is the exact opposite as it allows you to educate and serve your customers to a higher standard.
Would you agree that your Business will not grow by itself? So get the tools you need ….

Dharamsala is a small town in India at the foot of the Himalaya mountains. Luckily I was picked together with nine other Celanese colleagues from all around the world to volunteer in a CSR project with kids between the age of one and five.
Emotional was this journey to a country and culture that is so different to my own life in Europe. The kids made me laugh and cry. The feelings that I had each day are very difficult to describe.
Adventurous were our taxi rides.
Rose and thorns were our daily evening rituals in which we described our daily highs and lows and learned so much more about each other, about our feelings, emotions and personalities.
Challenging was each day with the kids. The communication was difficult. The kids kept us busy. Some days we had three kids, other days 50 – all talking and jumping on us at the same time!
Exciting was our visit to the Tibetan Library where we had a very interesting lecture about the Tibetan life, their philosophy and religion and were invited to join the early morning meditation sessions, thanks to Geoff Mullen.
Luckily I was supported by a fantastic colleague, Cole Foor. We were on the same team and had fun teaching the kids the alphabet, numbers and the five little monkeys song. We built them a tire swing, painted a hop scotch board and drew a number snake.
Amritsar was the place we visited during our free time on the weekend. Although the Golden Temple of Amritsar is without doubt one the most fascinating places in the world, the town is hot, dirty, loud and chaotic.
Nandini's was the name of our hostel, a luxury home in comparison to the accommodations of local people, even though we had to shower with cold water. Just across the street, a family of 10 or more people were living in a spot that was not bigger than a "one car garage." I doubt that they had a shower at all.
Excellent was our "tour guide" Jillian. Always in a good mood, supportive and very well organized. With her warm and friendly nature, she tied the group together and made sure we all reached the New Delhi Airport on our last day without any problems.
Sensitive, passionate and very special people I had around me. We were a great team – helpful and considerate. No one complained about our daily challenges (heat, insects, food…)
Engaged, yes fully engaged I feel very proud to work for Celanese. We shouldn't take for granted that the company sends employees on such a journey to help others, to get insights about other cultures, and to change views on what we have, our privileges and what really matters in life.
Editor's Note: This is the fifth in a series of nine blog posts by Celanese International Impact Program (CIIP) team members who served for two weeks in Dharamsala, India.

Across the Nightingale
For one, I am fascinated by Japan like the author, who spent years researching and writing the book through a grant. I have always found Japan as an enigma and book 1 of the series, Across the Nightingale Floor, Tales of the Otori has fed my appetite to know more about Japanese culture and geography. I know there are many ways to know a country and its people. Having traveled to Kyoto a few years back has been a life affirming experience. What I cannot live out, vicariously, I find fulfillment in reading books. Fiction, though a work of imagination, is capable of opening windows to another world and the wor
Here now are three reasons why I am swooning over Across the Nightingale Floor:
1. It has intriguing and interesting characters, heroes, villains and anti-heroes too. Takeo is tested by fate and his journey towards knowing himself and making his own decisions to fully establish his identity is still a work in progress. How much of obedience and loyalty can truly affect one person's becoming? Lord Shigeru, his adopted father dies in the end, but the respect he has earned over the years made him a legend. A classic story arc. Now I await for Takeo's turn. Will he become the tragic hero of the stories or lead a life that is marred by deceit and murder? Apart from Takeo, I also have predictions to Kaede's role i
