Battling Colon Cancer at an Unexpected Age

By Hoyt Finnamore

Kelly Barnard, diagnosed with colon cancer at age 19, poses for a strong arm selfieThe majority of people diagnosed with colon cancer are older than 50. Kelly Barnard was just 19 years old when she got an unwelcome Valentine’s Day surprise. Her stomach pain turned out to be something much more serious.

Among cancer's many negative qualities is the seemingly indiscriminate way the disease manifests itself. Cancer doesn’t care what your race, gender or ethnicity is. It doesn't care about your profession where you live or your family situation. And it doesn't necessarily care about your age. Just ask Kelly Barnard.

Kelly's cancer story began when she was just 19 years old. Then a freshman at the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minnesota, she began feeling intense stomach pain one day in her dorm room. And while she tells the Duluth Tribune she'd "felt some little twinges of pain" in her stomach before, those were nothing like the pain she felt just before Valentine's Day 2013. "It was horrendous," she tells the newspaper. "I couldn't walk. I couldn't move."

What Kelly could do, however, was call her mom, Beth LaVigne, who drove to Kelly's dorm and whisked her off to a local emergency room. There, doctors told her something she never expected to hear. "They said it looked like my ovary had basically exploded, for lack of a better word," she says. Kelly underwent emergency surgery to remove a cyst from her ovary and was then sent home to recover.

Four days later, on Valentine's Day, Kelly's phone rang. Her doctor said she wanted her to come back to the hospital and had more unexpected news. Kelly had colon cancer, and it was "metastatic" and had spread to her ovary. "I was in shock," Kelly says. "I felt like maybe I'd heard the doctor wrong or that she was mistaken."

But there was no mistake. After telling Kelly how sorry she was to have to deliver such distressing news, the doctor said a surgeon was waiting just down the hall to meet with Kelly and her mother. "My mom and I took a few minutes to cry and hug before going to that appointment," Kelly says. "I don't think I fully understood what my diagnosis meant or how serious it was." But she adds, "I don't remember ever being so scared."

After reviewing Kelly's diagnosis, the surgeon suggested they "take some time" before implementing a treatment plan against her cancer. "They were deciding whether to implant a stent and start chemo immediately or surgically remove the tumor from my descending colon," Kelly says. Time wasn't exactly something Kelly or her mom thought they could spare, so they called Mayo Clinic's Rochester campus for a second opinion. "They told us to come immediately," Kelly says.

"Being accepted by Mayo was such a bitter sweet moment," Kelly says. "I was thrilled to be able to have such prestigious and well-known doctors looking at my case, but at the same time, I knew it meant my case was extremely life threatening."

At Mayo, Kelly met with colon and rectal surgeon Robert Cima, M.D., who decided that immediate, and aggressive, surgery would be her best chance for survival, especially given her young age. But Kelly says nothing happened until Dr. Cima and his team were absolutely sure that she understood, and was comfortable with, everything that was about to happen. "When they decided to perform the emergency surgery to remove the tumor, the surgical team was so calming and reassuring," Kelly says. "I always felt safe and that I was in the best care possible. Whenever I felt anxious they would distract me by telling me about themselves and asking me questions to help keep my mind off of the unpleasantness."

Fortunately for Kelly, Dr. Cima and his surgical team were able to successfully remove her tumor. What's more, the cancer has been kept at bay for the two years since, which as Dr. Cima tells the paper, is good news for her long-term prognosis. "What we do know is 85 percent of all recurrences occur within the first two years," Dr. Cima says. "She's two years out with no clinical evidence of recurrence. Each day is a win."

Those wins, Kelly says, couldn't have come without her care team at Mayo. "Everyone was so friendly and made sure I knew what was going on at all times," she says. "I feel like the needs of myself and my family were exceeded. I am eternally grateful to Dr. Cima and his team. They saved my life."

And they did it all, Kelly says, while keeping her best interest, and her quality of life, at the forefront of every decision about her care. "Even though I came to Mayo because of a terminal illness, I have nothing but positive memories of being there," she says. " And even now when I go back for follow up appointments, everyone seems so excited to see me and to see how far I've come. I would recommend Mayo Clinic a thousand times over to anyone dealing with a similar condition."

Mayo Clinic is the social media partner for the Fight Colorectal Cancer community's #StrongArmSelfie campaign. The idea is to raise awareness of colon cancer prevention and screening by encouraging people to take a “selfie” with their best “strong arm” pose and then post it online using the hashtag. During March, colorectal cancer awareness month, Sharing Mayo Clinic will feature several patients participating in the campaign and sharing their stories. Mayo Clinic also released a music video to accompany the #StrongArmSelfie campaign.

A Peek Into MY everyday.

Our Everyday Routine

Yes, this is my fiance and I doing what we do everyday.. Blogging and Internetting! I’m laying down blogging while also watching VH1, and Matt is working on his website on the other couch. Humm, it may not LOOK exciting but I can honestly say that this is the most relaxing part of my day.. I get lounge around and write. What could be better than that? Anyway.. I’ll write a more interesting blog in a bit. Getting ideas still.

Hey don’t forget to check out Matt’s new site!

  2. shelbycockrell Says:

    I know right. Blogging is relaxing. Especially when I get to write about how great it is 🙂

  3. Ervin Says:

    I second the notion — or third it, whatever. My wife and I are doing the same thing right now. Lounging around and blogging/netting.

    I used to have a long attention span. That had to go. But other than that, this blog stuff is one of the nicer things that’s happened to me in recent years.

My Son and Bob

During the summer of 1998, we took the kids, loaded them up in the Astro Van, and headed to  Disney World in Florida.  We didn’t take vacations yearly, so this was going to be a special one for sure.  We stayed off of the resort at our neighbors winter home nearby, and drove to the park daily for 3 days.  We arrived in Florida in the evening and after having a late supper, proceeded to get back on the interstate and go the wrong way.  Now, you would think that someone would have noticed that we were driving a long time when we knew our destination was 15 miles away?  It didn’t help that we had been on the road for 3 days, and that it was 2 in the morning I guess…  So, true to form, we all start arguing.  I am yelling at the driver, he is yelling at me, the kids are yelling with each other….except Katelyn, who was 10 at the time.  She was sitting quietly in the back of the van, taking it all in.  One thing you notice about my child number 3 is her super curly hair.  We are really not sure where it came from, because it was straight until she turned about 7.  When we all took a collective breath, she started her speech:  “We have worked hard all summer mowing yards, and saving up the money to come here.  This is supposed to be the best vacation we will ever have because Stephanie leaves for college next summer.  We need to remember we are a family and act like one.  Why can’t we all get along?”  There was stunned silence in the car… one knew what to say after that speech…until you hear the voice of my son saying…”Are you done yet?”….she replied “Yes”…and he said “Why thank you Martin Luther Curly”.  I knew Rick was familiar with the speech delivered my Martin Luther King Jr….but I didn’t remember his saying “Can’t we all get along.”  Needless to say, we all broke into laughter and we turned around and headed into Orlando.

The second day we went to Epcot to enjoy seeing the various “countries” featured there.  While we were there, my son spent some of his hard-earned money on a puppet that he named “Bob”.  Bob was an orangutan (I think) with fuzzy light brown hair, extra long loose arms and legs and wore a tuxedo shirt and jacket.  You put one hand in the back of his head in order to open is mouth, and you could attach a metal rod to either arm so you could move the arm as if he were waving without getting your own arm in the way.  So we decide to take a break and sit outside “Paris” and Ricky takes “Bob” out and introduced him to us.   My son is such a character that pretty soon he is sitting alone on the bench, with Bob, and is making Bob ogle the cute girls passing by.  If a “hot” girl stopped to look at Bob, Rick would open Bobs mouth, take Bobs hand, pretend to lick it and smooth Bobs hair down.  So we stood nearby and watched Rick interact, through Bob, with almost every teenager girl that walked by.  When a “hottie” would walk towards them, he would aim  Bobs head in their direction in order to follow as the girl approached, Bob would then stare as they walked past, and continued to stare, open-mouthed,  as they walked by.  Bob was a hit!  If you watched long enough, you really believed that silly ape was alive.  I had a feeling that people thought Rick was as hired performer with the park.  It’s too bad I didn’t think to put out a hat that they could throw coins into….we could have had enough extra money to eat a meal in the park, instead of eating the  frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that I had packed for our lunches and were waiting for us in a locker at the front gate ♥

When my son was in high school, he seldom ate meat…but would eat Tater Tot Casserole…this is my version…

2 pounds of hamburger, browned and drained

2 cans of cream of chicken soup

(you can use cream of mushroom soup,  I just don’t like mushrooms)

2 cans of peas, drained

1 small can of Durkees Fried Onions

1-2 cups of finely shredded cheddar cheese

1 bag Tater Tots ( I used to use 1 and 1/2 bags because everyone wanted more tots)

Heat oven to 350 degrees

In a 13x 9 pan, begin layering, starting with the cooked hamburger.

Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic power and onion powder over the hamburger.

Spread the soups over the hamburger.

Slightly crush the fried onions in you hand and sprinkle over the soup

Sprinkle the cheese over the soup

Top off with the peas and end with the tater tots.

Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until the tots are golden brown.

This is also a forgiving casserole…you can change veggies, use more or less cheese, use different soups…etc.

You can also halve the recipe and bake in an 8×8 pan…easy peesey….

Make it your own and enjoy!

God Bless America – by TOM GUMBERT

Scroll down to content

God Bless America

I feign interest in the introduction while using my peripheral to scope for groupies. I see one in the cheap seats in the back, if you can call a five hundred dollar dinner cheap. She’s practically drooling as she stares at me, her eyes filled with adoration, her breast spilling out of her sleeveless gown. Out-standing.

I chuckle on cue, having already heard this spiel three times this week. I’m getting pretty good at the game, appearing amused, sincere, righteous and/or indignant as the situation calls. When he finishes, I rise to thunderous applause, flashing my best smile, showing off my bleached teeth, compliments of the PR firm hired by the deep pocket party puppet masters.

At the podium I ask the audience to join me in the Pledge of Allegiance. This is one of my favorite photo op moments, and later, perhaps when lying naked with Ms. Groupie, I’ll scan social media sites, admiring these images. Cameras flash and whirl as I put my hand over my heart and recite a poem written by a Socialist and edited by Congress at the height of their Communist witch hunts. It amazes me when I consider that people somehow associate this pledge with patriotism, as if a spy—or perhaps a terrorist, would never utter these words, and that those who do are unimpeachable.  God Bless America.

I launch into my speech, covering all the points my backers are paying for. My ideals? Does it matter? In this partnership they get a candidate they can sell to the public—a God fearing, pull yourself up by your bootstraps military hero, and I get the spoils of office. I’ll be your Howdy Doody.

I finish to a standing ovation. Moving from the podium toward the receiving line I see a pathetic looking Vietnam War vet in a wheelchair. Man, they think of everything! I stop, come to attention, and salute him. Cameras flash and whirl. Fucking genius. “Thank you,” I say, and of course everyone thinks I refer to his service. What I actually mean is for setting the table. This guy probably got spit on when he returned home, and the national guilt over that has swung the pendulum to where vets returning home today are practically demigods, throwing out the first pitch at major league baseball games and being Grand Marshals of parades. God Bless America.

Just before the receiving line I see her, causing me to stumble. I flash my pearly whites. “First day with the new feet,” I joke, and those within earshot laugh.

Pushing my hair back from my forehead, I straighten my tie as my eyes attempt, and fail, to locate her. It was just my imagination. After all, she’s dead.

I take my place in line and for the next hour, shake a few hundred hands, allow a dozen or so pictures and assure my constituents that I absolutely share their convictions on any number of issues that I care nothing about. If I had to guess, I’d say at least twenty people told me how honored they were to meet a true American hero and maybe a half dozen called, “Oorah,” to which I responded in kind.

What? Oh, you think the hero remark referred to my military service? Yes and no. I have been branded a military hero, not for my service in general but rather for a specific act that occurred during my time in the sandbox. Not familiar with my story? Are you kidding? Have you been living in a cave?

Iraq, 2010, I, along with a good friend of mine, found ourselves reassigned to a unit in Tal Afar after a Sand Queen complained about the attention we were giving her. Inappropriate? Not in my opinion. Convoys are ultra-stressful and what better way to relieve stress than a little post convoy sexual healing? Instead of crying to the C.O., that bitch should have thanked us.

Anyway, long story short, my friend was attacked while on patrol and I shot and killed his attacker. The locals claim she was trying to avenge her seventeen year old sister, who my friend allegedly raped and killed. That story was reported on Al Jazeera. That’s not my story. My story was that an extremist, recruited by Al Qaeda and attempting to inflict mass casualties on our patrol, was killed after wounding a Marine. That story was carried on Fox News, and that, my friends, is how I became an American Hero. God Bless America.

In the limo I sip my scotch and gaze out the window while my aide checks the polls. He blathers about trailing in Cleveland but locking Cincinnati and Columbus—when I see her standing on the corner. I turn around in my seat as the limo speeds past, losing sight of her when we turn a corner.

“Easy, boss,” my aide says. “There’s one waiting in your room. You can’t have them all.”

I drain the scotch, then two more, trying to rid myself of her image, those eyes—those fucking accusing eyes.

I hear the shower when I enter the room. Pulling off my tie, I toss it on the bed and grab a bottle from the mini bar. The shower stops and my eyes shift to the bathroom door.

When it opens, she has a towel around her torso while drying her hair with another.  She flips her hair back and smiles at me and for a second my heart stops. It’s not the Groupie looking at me—it’s her.

Blind rage replaces shock and I honestly don’t know what happened, only that once again she looked up at me with those eyes—those dead, accusing eyes.

A few discreet calls, a few cash transactions and none of this ever happened. In a couple weeks, if all goes according to plan, I’ll take the oath of office. A nice, influential State office that could lead to…who knows? God Bless America.

No Game No Life – Episode 1

I’m super excited for Sword Art Online II, like many other fans, but I’m holding back from watching that show because I don’t know if I can stand just 20 minutes of visual joy a week?!?  I loved the first season, both halves, and am totally going to watch season 2.  But, maybe not today because I think I might have found the perfect visuals in animated form…

No Game No Life.

The show just ended last week and had a three month run.   That means it should be a quick little marathon of 12 epidodes.  Those tend to be my favorite shows, quick and satisfying.   I love saturated color.  Bright, vibrant and varied color just turns me on.  If I could live in a Lisa Frank poster from 1995 I’d be eternally happy.  That is just about what the world in No Game No Life looks like.   A Lisa Frank poster.  Heaven.  Visually, I dug this show.

The story caught my interest right away as well.  There is a group of legendary MMORPG players who never lose.  They’re better than the best of the best.  Their skill is unrivaled and unparalleled. The four of them have defeated 1200 other players in a single fight.  Amazing right?  Ha!  Amazingly, this team called Blank is made up of for characters, but only two players.   Siblings Sora and Shira control multiple characters simultaneously.  Totally unrealistic,  but who needs that in Anime?  They look at life as a game…one that can’t be beat because it lacks clearly defined rules.  Therefore, life is actually boring.  Which is where things get interesting.

Tet, a seemingly omniscient diety from some other universe/reality brings the duo to his/her realm where everything operates on six basic game principles.  All of a sudden Sora (the older male sibling) seems to awaken at the possibilities that await him in a game world where he can exploit the rules to his advantage.   I really liked that twist on the Anime set in an MMORPG environment.  I don’t know if they’re actually in a game or not, but the environment they’re in operated with gaming principles.  The show had me wondering if I would leave the reality we live and die in to go to a realm like those in the video games I love.  I’d have to say workout a doubt Diablo is out,  but how cool would it be to travel in Tamriel?  I’d so pick up where my Khajit necromancer vampire left off in Morrowind and head straight for Skyrim.  How about exploring the universe with Master Chief and Cortana.  Oh, that is my cup of tea.

Pretty sure No Game No Life is going to be a fun ride and probably make a nice companion work Sword Art Online once a few episodes have gone by.  Did any of you or there watch this show and more importantly…

Which of your favorite video game world would you want to live in?

Autocratic behaviour of Parish authorities….

You may wonder, what is new in the Title of this post. We agree with you, nothing is new in the title. New thing is, a parishioner publicly questioning the Parish authorities on social networking site is heartening. This post is related to St. John the Evangelist Church, Marol. A young Parishioner has raised some pertinent questions. Obviously, he has chosen a social networking site to express his anguish because of the reason he has mentioned in his query below….

Yours truly also has been blocked from joining the FB page of this Parish, Just because SV was sharing posts, the negative ones, on the page… that the young man has provided the opening, Detailed post related to this autocratic attitude of Admin of the page will be published separately on SILENT VOICE shortly,

St. Johns the Evangelist Church, Marol

This is a straight question as a parishioner of Marol and I am sure many of you from Marol would like to know about the same:

  1. From when did the name Johanian Fiesta change to johanian carnival..????
  2. This get together is always been held in the month of December starting from the day of our church feast.. Then why change of dates…????

3.was this discussed in the PPC meeting or has the priest taken their own decesion… ????

  1. Why all the days have musicals???is this organised for an individual interest or keeping in mind what the entire parish of Marol wants ????

I do not hope to get any reply to this post but I am sure that by reading this you guys will start thinking about our past that we had in the parish of Marol..I had posted the same on the parish Facebook page but the admin did not approve of the post…wonder what are they scared of….

    They are simply scared of Transparency and accountability. As long as PPC is Consultative, the laity is sure to be pushed about by the Clergy.

    Things will change only when PPCs and PFCs are grounded on “CO-PARTERNERSHIP’. As declared by Pope Benedict Laity are no more “Collaborators” but “CO-PARTNERS” meaning they have equal rights. Even as per Canon Law, the Clergy are “Administrators or Caretakers”. Can caretakers be owners?

    So as you have rightly questioned, the decision to change the name of an event or its nomenclature should be joint and NOT some Lord dictating from above..

I do not Accept there is only One course of Action to Heal

…… That well-being is not a destination but an ongoing relationship with your own body

Self acceptance needs to be considered and then embraced. This takes time…….

Some diagnosis can be an opportunity to build an inner relationship with yourself, to discover your next best steps to restore your health and well-being. Really, the diagnosis is demanding your 100% attention to recreate your health, one moment at a time finding peace in this moment supports your choices in your mind. This then encourages new food choices, living kindly inside your body. We are the ones who complicate things and the ones who can choose change. You are the most important authority on your own health.

Wondering how I got here? Picture a talented, driven and deeply off-course individual. Missing, self-esteem but with tremendous potential. With an inner calling to serve others but I needed to figure out how to love myself first. My whole life, my priorities, my choices, the way that I listen to my body and nourish myself. Is so different today, all lessons I have learnt the hard way on my journey from my head to my heart.

I do not accept there is only one course of action to heal. I do believe it is empowering to share where you are with a health coach and then to open up new healing pathways to well-being essential to experience full health.

I let go of everything to find my inner power to thrive, I detoxed my body and my mind many times over and over. I learnt how to treat myself with absolute love and self-respect. To find my groove for my life in full health! I am currently a student at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York and I live in London. I am now allowed to see clients.

Field Notes No. 15 (December 21, 2011)

December 21, 2011, Wednesday afternoon

Sunny, slight wind out of the Southwest, temperature 39 degrees F.

The geese were congregated on the north lake today. Both lakes were mostly free of ice, although the north lake had a few patches of free-floating ice. The Canada Goose flock is reduced to a few hundred. A few dozen Cackling Geese and the three Snow Geese are still here. A few mallards were mixed in with the geese. On the south lake I saw 8 Ruddy Ducks, 6 American Coots, and a female Bufflehead. The Greater Scaup male and Lesser Scaup female were back after being gone for a few days.

Ice cover on the lakes has been freezing and melting with wide fluctuations in ambient air temperatures this month. Strong winds have accompanied warm fronts and the wind has helped break up the ice. The temperature of the water must be very close to the freezing point because one cold night can cause the surface to freeze and then a few days of warm weath! er and the ice is gone. I imagine this is frustrating for those who like to ice-fish.

The three Snow Geese (one adult and two juveniles) have been together each time I have seen them during the last couple of weeks. This indicates they are probably a family group. Geese mate for life so the group is missing one adult. Sexes are not distinguishable by plumage so it is impossible to tell whether the adult is a male or a female. Juveniles in their first year's plumage can be identified according to age. The Snow Goose occurs as two color phases referred to as blue and white. Originally, these were identified as two distinct species, the Blue Goose and the Snow Goose. When biologists eventually found their nesting colonies on the Arctic tundra, both color phases were nesting close together in the same colony. I'll say more about the genetics of the Snow Goose in a later field note.

We are nearly to the end of the calendar year. If you plan to take a! tax deduction this year on your membership dues, now is the time to send in your renewal.

What do ESL writing instructors think of screencast feedback? - MIDTESOL 2016

"What Do ESL Writing Instructors Think of Screencast Feedback?"
September 30-October 1, 2016,  Kansas City, MO

Screencast video feedback is often seen as positive, easier to understand and more personal by students while leading to the same or higher rates of successful application. Augmented by glimpses of student perspectives, this presentation will turn the focus on the instructors giving the feedback. The presentation discusses results of a semester long counterbalanced study of the perspectives of 4 ESL writing instructors implementing screencast feedback in their classes for the first time as they compare using it to using MS Word comments. How does the use of text and screencast feedback impact the instructor giving the feedback?

Sitter in Rowley

Hi, everyone. My profile is not upgraded to unlimited messaging so emailing me is the easiest way to get in touch with me. see my contact information below! Summer is approaching fast and I'd love to become your nanny to help with your work schedule and make you feel worry free. Summer is my favorite season. I love being outside, hanging by the pool, spending a day at the beach, an afternoon at the park, going for walks and picnics, you name it. My availability is my summer availability which will start on May 14th. I believe in keeping kids active in the summer and always doing something they enjoy. I've worked with all ages from premature newborns all they way up to 18 years old. I've cared for many newborns/infants and watched other kids at the same time, also playing with older ones, doing arts and crafts, which I love to do, teaching them new things or helping them learn. I can cook dinners for any age. I'm comfortable with baths, bedtime and overnights. Also, I have four dogs, so I'm very comfortable with any pets. I have a very reliable car and clean driving record. I'm comfortable with driving multiple children of any age. I've worked in a preschool the past two summers and have had experience in the toddler room and the pre-K room as well. I took CPR in high school as a requirement. I nannied for a 1-year-old boy three summers ago, and loved the experience. I'm responsible, outgoing, trustworthy, reliable, caring and so much more. This is more than just a babysitting job. This is a passion and true enjoyment. I've been doing this for a very long time (7 plus years) and I really enjoy this job.

I got the email notice from Target at TWO of my email accounts that my information had been stolen.

I pored over my financial data and found that I have not used any credit card at a Target store since 2008. So, obviously the breadth and depth of this attack are a lot more extensive than what they are telling us.

Either that or Target is simply blasting everyone in their email database whether or not they believe the customer's information was stolen, which says that Target still really has no idea whose information was taken and whose wasn't.

It really is a reflection of the vast incompetency of Target management. They don't know ANYTHING, and have just been firing the shotgun since this whole story broke.

FISA Judges Oppose Intelligence Reform Proposals Aimed At Court 187

cold fjord writes "The LA Times reports, 'Judges on the ... surveillance court have strongly rejected any proposed changes to their review process ... In a blunt letter to the House and Senate intelligence and judiciary committees, U.S. District Judge John D. Bates made it clear that the 11 judges on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court are united in opposition to key recommendations by a presidential task force last month ... their skepticism adds to a list of hurdles for those advocating significant reforms following former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden's massive disclosures of domestic and foreign surveillance programs. ... Obama and some intelligence officials have publicly signaled support for creating an adversarial legal process in the court ... and aides have suggested the president will create an advocate's position or call for legislation to do so ... But Bates disagreed sharply, arguing that "the participation of an advocate would neither create a truly adversarial process nor constructively assist the courts in assessing the facts, as the advocate would be unable to communicate with the target or conduct an independent investigation." Adding an advocate to "run-of-the-mill FISA matters would substantially hamper the work of the courts without providing any countervailing benefit in terms of privacy protection," he added.' — The Hill adds that Bates, "... recommended an advocate chosen by the court, rather than an independent authority, for only a limited number of cases.

To reach a distance of 8 miles one would have to be transmitting a significant amount of power - probably in the range of several watts. From that, a lot of heat would be generated, and it would be unlikely to go unnoticed.

Assuming that the usb cables were used as antennae, it is also likely that the radiation pattern is for shit, so I find the claim of an 8 mile range to be highly suspect, absent an extremely high gain receiver antenna and a clear line of sight.

Nevermind the 500mA USB limit on *most* laptops...

Slip Into Something Victorian

Home » Uncategorized » Professionalism

I’m supposed to blog today! I’m on vacation in Puerto Rico! (I know, I know, no sympathy, I’ll get over it I’m sure.) But the point is I have nothing. So I thought I’d throw this out. Recently on another group we were discussing professionalism and what to do when you encounter unprofessional people attacking YOU.

My response was clear. Counter it IF you can in a professional way that won’t spark another argument or won’t be seen as defensive. If not, ignore it and counter it on other places without mentioning the original attacker. I firmly believe this.

I’m sure if it was me or a friend being attacked, I’d want to fight back. That’s fine but doing so on the original blog, group, site, whatever isn’t the way.

So my question to you is: How do you counter unprofessional people? What do you do if they attack you or a friend?

And now, back to editing. I AM working down here. HONEST!

  1. Working huh? LOL. Must be hard to concentrate. I can just imagine you lolling on a beach.

    I think you have to be very careful about blogging or posting anything on the internet you don’t want to come back and haunt you. I’d prefer to allow the unprofessional people to show themselves up for the fools they are. After all, if they’re blogging, it’s all out there for everyone to see.

  2. Isabel Roman says:

    After all, if they’re blogging, it’s all out there for everyone to see.

    Too true, Susan! And no matter how hard you try to take it down, it’s always somewhere.

NEWSFLASH!!! GMA gags Coast Guard

September 5, 2006

ANC News Channel has just reported that President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has ordered the Philippine Coast Guard not to entertain any more questions from the media regarding the oil spill in Guimaras! What are you trying to hide Madame Presidentita? Baw nano, nabuang ka na ‘day?

This blog has also received a tip that tomorrow, during her visit to Guimaras, GMA intends to announce that 30 barangays are “safe” from the oil spill. We just don’t know if this will be before or after her regular parade at the slick-free beach of Alubihod? Ay ambot!

Tsk, tsk, tsk…who is advising this woman on PR strategy? The truth about Petron, and now the government’s ineptitude about the oil spill, won’t be buried on just her say so!

Laban Guimarasnon!

(More on this story at Gag order, Sept. 6, 2006.)

  1. pangamusta sa tanan!

    this happens when sincere and genuinely concerned personnel of a government agency and a certain person with the cognomen “presidential adviser” talk at cross-purposes. those coast guard officers who insist on saying that there’s still oil leaking out of the sunken tanker must have irritated, and in the eyes of the media and of everybody, embarrassed, the p.a. who has previously declared there’s none.

    i cite the Quote of the Year found elsewhere in this blog as reference.

    ceretain thoughts like conspiracy, jumbled letters reminding me of an anagram for sycophant and images of a public, smelly orifice flash in my mind, but they’re personal and i won’t mention them.

  2. amo gani! there are some people left in the government who are honest and sincere, however, their efforts to tell the truth are thwarted by insecure govt executives who only think of their bruised egos instead of the common good for all!

Spanking interview with me at ERWA

Over at the Erotica Readers & Writers Association (THE website for anyone looking to write or read erotica), Ashley Lister interviewed me about Spanked and my writing process/motivations:

Ashley Lister: Denise is an archetypical Rachel Kramer Bussel heroine in that she is self-aware and relates the story to the reader with layers of complex introspection that juxtapose cleverly against the physical aspect of the narrative. (I’m thinking archetypical here in the same mould as your unnamed heroine from Doing the Dishes, Best Women’s Erotica 04 and Mammoth Best New Erotica 4, and Marianne from Tight Squeeze in Rubber Sex). Why do you place such a strong emphasis on the psychological element of your characters?

Rachel: That’s an interesting question, one I’ve never really pondered before. Well, I think for one thing, dialogue is not my strong suit, so most of my stories are in the first person because that’s the easiest way for me to get inside the characters’ heads, and to tell the story.

But beyond that, I think at a very primal level, it’s the psychology of both my lovers and characters in stories that turns me on. The fastest way to rope me in is to share something truly intimate, and when you do it in a story, I think it creates this bond with the reader. It shows them where the character is coming from and why whatever action is happening turns them on so much. To me one of the greatest things about spanking, as a topic and activity, is there there’s such a vast range of motivations. You could watch, say, two men get spanked by two women. Both have their hands above their head, standing against a wall. Both women use the same black paddle. To an outsider, the scenes look the same, but maybe one is being “punished” by his mistress, and maybe the other has never been spanked before, and is curious. Or maybe he’s usually the top and they’ve decided to switch. You never know, and by telling the story in an engaging way, we can find out.

This Smelly Superfood Can Help You Lose Fat And Gain Energy

Hold your nose!

lose fat
Image: Instagram @thr1ve

Pizza, chocolate chip cookies, baked goods…why is it that the foods that smell the best generally aren’t great for us? It’s a little unfair, if you ask us!

Using the reverse logic, it kind of makes sense that something that smells unpleasant could be amazing for our health. Don’t worry, we’re not going to suggest you go dumpster diving for food leftovers. The stench we’re referring to is the one you get you get a whiff of when you take the lid off a pot of broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage or Brussels sprouts. You know the one — it kind of smells like what you’d get if you left a rotten egg out in the sun. It’s probably half the reason you refused to eat your veggies as a kid!

Well, it turns out – it’s that pungent odour that makes cruciferous veggies so good for us! What you’re actually smelling is a molecule called sulforaphane — and it happens to be one of the most powerful (albeit, stinky) superfoods on the block. Here’s what makes it so amazing.

What sulforaphane can do for your body

A post shared by THR1VE (@thr1ve) on

Sulforaphane is a powerful anti-inflammatory and detoxifier that has been proven to help you lose fat, enhance brain power and even kill cancer cells. We know, those are some mighty big claims, but they’re backed up by science. Here’s the deal.

Each cell in your body contains a protein called Nrf2. Usually, it’s pretty chilled — but when your body is inflamed or under stress, it jumps into action. It binds to something called the antioxidant response element (ARE) that controls the production of antioxidants. When this turns on, your body starts churning out antioxidants that help to safeguard against stress and inflammation.

Our stinky friend sulforaphane is what kickstarts this whole process. It’s known as a Nrf2 activator, switching it on so it can go on an antioxidant spree. Not only does this whole process ward off inflammation, it also does other incredible things for your body.

  • It boosts your energy and makes you more resistant to stress by helping your mitochondria create more ATP (the energy that fuels your body.)
  • It detoxes your body by creating detoxification enzymes that clear carcinogens and other toxins. One study revealed that sulforaphane makes the body 61% more efficient at excreting airborne pollutants from the body.
  • It helps you burn fat. Activating Nrf2 has been found to accelerate fat-burning and prevent obesity in mice.
  • It’s thought to kill cancer cells. Research has found that the compound kills cancer cells in petri dishes and prevents tumour growth in rats. It’s also been shown to reverse cancer in some humans too and as a result, drug companies are currently testing a synthetic version of sulforaphane as a cancer treatment.

Sounds amazing, right? The good news is, provided you eat these types of veggies, you’ve already got a head start, But to really reap the benefits, experts say to buy your cruciferous veggies fresh not frozen and lightly steam them (this cooking method makes your veggies release an enzyme called myrosinase, which helps to create more sulforaphane.) If you want to take it to the next level, you can grow your own broccoli sprouts at home or get your hands on an sulforphane supplement.

Americans are perfect on the PGA Tour in ’13

Last year's Ryder Cup was a disaster for American golf. The United States team was barreling towards a win before the Sunday singles came crashing down on them, and instead of a celebration, fans were left scratching their heads wondering what exactly it's going to take for the U.S. to win this event again.

But the good news is, the Ryder Cup doesn't exactly translate on the PGA Tour. So far in 2013 the Americans have swept the PGA Tour events, going nine-for-nine this year.

The crazy part is, five of the 12 members of that Ryder Cup team for the United States have already won an event this year, not to mention some other up-and-comers that have the potential to win multiple times in their careers.

Dustin Johnson, Russell Henley, Brian Gay, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Brandt Snedeker, John Merrick, Matt Kuchar and Michael Thompson have all found themselves in the winner's circle this season, and the dominance from the U.S. doesn't stop there. For the first time since 2008 we had an all-American final at the match play, and the top-13 players on the FedEx Cup standings board rock the red, white and blue next to their names.

So yes, American golf might be in trouble in one team format event, but it seems on the PGA Tour it's the United States that has flexed their biceps this year and came out in a flurry.

The Star Must Respect Raila

The Star Needs to Discounitue Links with Miguna

I’m a great fan of the Star, I’ve been reading the articles they publish since the paper was inaugurated. It has come to my concern that they have reservations for Uhuru since he became president. I can remember, Uhuru, the then Deputy Prime Minister and now the President of the republic of Kenya, took the Star to court about tarnishing his image. The paper has since got his replacement, the former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. So today I ask, what does the Star wants with Raila.

They have been publishing every bad news about our de facto leader, something that I don’t take lightly. From ODM’s nomination before the 2013 elections to botched ODM party elections. They have dragged RAO’s name in every bad thing that happens to the party; whether an ODM Mp has lost his seat, or he/she was heckled in her constituency. They treated Oburu’s, Ruth’s or Midiwo’s problem as Raila’s, and made every bad story that they get a slight hint of. Raila deserves respect and should not be subject to some mad men, some of whom are his former employees who have gone rogue. It saddens me that despite being a fan of the star, they have made it their habit to court such rogue agents.

Miguna Miguna
Former Raila’s aide -Miguna

Let me take you back to an article Miguna wrote and was published by the paper yesterday (March 29th). Miguna compared Raila’s house to Zuma’s, which was built by stolen money from the government. Why did he go that far, why not Kibaki’s a half billion house funded by taxpayers money? Why had the Star allowed the paper to serve personal interest? Miguna ponders why Raila built a multi-billion house in an area where the people’s average monthly income is Kshs. 2,500, what is the average income of the people living in Mwiga, where the state built Kibaki a home? Why can’t Miguna look at the bigger picture and see how this house, which will host Raila Foundation, can help Kisumu county? He is so obsessed with his former boss, or perhaps he just can’t afford to let his new boss down. If Miguna wants something to write about, may be he should write about Kibaki’s idle Mwiga home that wasted taxpayer’s half a billion.

So why is the Star serving as a platform to spread hatred against our beloved leader? And why has the article’s online version since varnished? And if they have deleted it, why did they publish it in the first place? What is even the point of deleting its online version when the paper itself is already in the streets? The Star needs to apologies to Raila, his family and  followers alike. They also need to terminate their link with Miguna forthwith. In the future, they must act as a newspaper that serves all political sides, and not just the ruling party.

Creative Work

Visualizing Dark Matter: Jim Cogswell reflects on his recent collaboration

Visualizing Dark Matter: Jim Cogswell reflects on his recent collaboration

In recent years my creative work has been influenced by astronomy, physics, archaeology, and other fields of scientific inquiry. This influence is founded on a much deeper and more lasting curiosity about how we as human beings know what we know, and how what we don’t know so neatly escapes us.

Two and a half years ago, I was invited by a cosmologist here at the University to participate in an unusual project. Greg Tarle, a professor of physics, does research on dark matter – the invisible stuff that scientists say makes up 24 percent of the universe.

Greg understands dark matter through the language of mathematics. For him, numbers and equations reveal a cosmological story so awe-inspiring that he was overtaken with a desire to share his wonder with others. He invited me to join a team that included musician/composer Stephen Rush to find a way, through art, to communicate the grandeur that he feels as he studies this great unseen mystery of the universe. This project became Jeweled Net of the Vast Invisible.

The challenge of visualizing the immense complexity of nature is not new to artists. Early in our project I introduced my scientific colleagues to the 19th century Romantic painters of Europe who had made similar attempts to address natures’ ecstatic beauty. And, I suggested he read Robert Rosenblum’s Modern Painting and the Northern Romantic Tradition.

Here is Caspar David Friedrich’s Monk by the Sea from 1809.

Rosenblum describes the work this way:

“Friedrich’s painting corresponds to an experience familiar to the spectator in the modern world, an experience in which the individual is pitted against, or confronted by the overwhelming, incomprehensible immensity of the universe, as if the mysteries of religion had left the rituals of church and synagogue and had been relocated in the natural world. It has almost the quality of a personal confession, in which the artist, projected into the lonely monk, explores his own relationship to the great unknowables, conveyed through the dwarfing infinities of nature.”

Rosenblum goes on to identify qualities of these paintings that correspond closely to those found in our project. Here are a few:

  • Their images are of such elemental clarity and power that they can in no way be confused with a prosaic record of the casually observed data of nature.
  • Their settings locate us near a precipice of nothingness.
  • They communicate a mood of intense communion with the most impalpable of nature’s phenomena—light, color, atmosphere.
Visualizing the Unseen

The story of dark matter is the story of our origins and of our destiny. The story of everything is written in the unseen.

To visualize the unseen we started with data from the Millennium Simulation, which used supercomputers to evolve one billion dark matter particles in the process of evolving from their random and diffuse distribution immediately after the Big Bang to the clustered cosmic web of the modern universe.

Our challenge was to produce a visualization and soundscape of this dark world which would allow others to experience its beauty. Physicists call these “dark matter particles,” but that terminology can be misleading. They are points in three-dimensional space that are assigned properties of mass for the purpose of allowing gravity to produce the plethora of structures and eventually the cosmic web that we see today.

Through our digitally derived images we are representing something that is imperceptible, even at wavelengths beyond the optical spectrum—a force that nevertheless captures the jewels of light, the stars and galaxies that are visible in our heavens.

In our visualization, the bright regions represent a network of dark matter halos and filaments separated by voids. These structures grew from minute quantum fluctuations in our rapidly inflating newborn universe, which were then amplified by gravity over billions of years.

This invisible net then captured the atoms that formed the stars and galaxies, the “jewels” that now beckon us in the darkness.

Our current installation makes visible that gradual amplification for viewers to experience.

Jeweled Net of the Vast Invisible

Our title, the Jeweled Net, suggests parallels between the science on which our project is based and metaphoric images of ancient Hindu and Buddhist philosophy evoking the emptiness and interpenetration of all phenomena.

Consider for a moment the image of the jeweled net of Indra, suggested in our title.

Because the mathematics of my colleagues is so impenetrable to me, this ancient cosmological metaphor has had a strange power to describe what was becoming visible for the first time to my perceptions as an artist through this project.

Here is a passage from the Avatamsaka Sutra.

“Far away in the heavenly abode of the great god Indra, there is a wonderful net which has been hung by some cunning artificer in such a manner that it stretches out indefinitely in all directions. In accordance with the extravagant tastes of deities, the artificer has hung a single glittering jewel at the net’s every node, and since the net itself is infinite in dimension, the jewels are infinite in number. There hang the jewels, glittering like stars of the first magnitude, a wonderful sight to behold. If we now arbitrarily select one of these jewels for inspection and look closely at it, we will discover that in its polished surface there are reflected all the other jewels in the net, infinite in number. Not only that, but each of the jewels reflected in this one jewel is also reflecting all the other jewels, so that the process of reflection is infinite.”

Indra’s Net as a metaphor casts doubt on any assumption of a solid and fixed universe “out there.” The fact that all nodes are simply reflections indicates that there is no particular single source point from which it all arises.

The metaphor of the net speaks to the hidden interconnectedness and interdependency of everything and everyone in the universe. Every point contains information about all the other points. When any jewel in the net is touched, all other jewels are affected.

The Role of the Artist

As living creatures we truly see only what we pay attention to, through the lens of what we already know and assume to be real.

An artist’s job is to call our attention to the overlooked, the undervalued, and the unconsidered, sometimes using the unreal to draw our attention to what is really out there. Such is the life of metaphors. The object of attention might be as breathtaking as cosmology or as ordinary as rain, or it might be the very act of perception itself.

Inherent in all cosmological visions is the problem of making the awe inspiring accessible to human perception without trivializing it; giving it a dimension that we can, if not understand, at least experience without reducing it to our scale.

Before the technological innovations of the last few decades, information about the fundamental nature of the universe was accessible primarily through metaphor, visual analogy, and narrative. And, for a few, through the language of mathematics.

Using technology, clusters of dark matter have become clusters of information in our computers. Visualizing them transforms the data into something we can experience, but also disrupts our sensory expectations and brings us to the limits of our physical intuitions.

Assigning Luminosity & Hue to the Invisible

In our case, in order to create a representation that we can perceive, we have had to be selective, finding a balance between particles that are near and far, small and large, those we allow to remain dark and those to which we assign a given luminosity.

In the simulation, we have the power to use variations in luminosity, color and intensity to represent factors such as density and velocity dispersion. But in doing so we shape what aspect of the information is available to our senses.

As with any metaphor, representation entails a degree of misrepresentation.

Mapping one experience onto another to highlight certain qualities distorts other qualities. But that is how we expand our knowledge and communicate our experiences.

The cosmos is thought to be infinite in size, and gravity can be felt throughout, in every piece of matter within it. If we were to light up, at once, all halos representing the forces of dark matter, we would encounter a fully illuminated sky, known in physics as Olber's Paradox. By being carefully selective in our graphics algorithms, we can deal with the quandary that seeing all the information at once will obscure its structure.

We addressed the problem by focusing on a band of space at a given distance from what we called our camera position, making particles fade in from the back as they enter that band moving forward, and having them fade out as they approach within a given distance of our position. The fascinating web like structure becomes visible only by being selective as to what we see.

Constructing Cosmologies

In his book, Modern Painting and the Northern Romantic Tradition, Robert Rosenblum quotes the following passage from the 19th century transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson:

Standing on the bare ground,
my head bathed
by the blithe air,
and uplifted into infinite space,
all mean egotism vanishes.
I become a transparent eye-ball:
I am nothing:
I see all:
the currents of the Universal being
circulate through me:
I am part or parcel of God…

As an artist, I am eager to learn what I can about how science has enhanced our understanding of the universe. But I am even more interested in how our society builds on that understanding to construct a cosmology that effectively deals with our contemporary experience of the world.

This project, and others in response to science, are, for me, less for the sake of illustrating the science and more for the sake of integrating elements disconnected by our habitual, cultural, and most especially our academic, epistemic slices.

Through this project I have come to understand and to viscerally experience the sky not as something “out there” but as an infinite field that we are a part of. And in our recent installation we discovered the strange power that this marriage of the earth and sky has over our human imaginations, hence, its sacredness to us.

The Jeweled Net of the Vast Invisible will be on view May 12- 15, 2015, with a live performance, preview, and reception on May 12, 6:45 to 9:00 pm. Click here for more information.

It's just where the HOFF looks best! With his Partner, KITT!!

I can’t be everywhere, but that’s what having starcar pals are for! The 2nd Knight Rider festival was held in Vegas, the same time as my meet with David Hasslehoff, and another photo shoot for a magazine, so I wasn’t able to attend this years event. Luckily, Alex, Luis, and Jennifer did head out across the desert with their KITT cars and joined in the fun. Daniel and Nick, AJ, Glen and all the KR gang had a great time, and as an added bonus, Catherine Hickland (who starred in several episodes of Knight Rider, and was married to the HOFF) invited all the KR fans over to her house! How is that for cool?

Catherine Hickland and David Hasslehoff at KR fest 2!

The Knight Rider Festival gathering at Catherine Hickland's house!

Organizer Paul Casey rode in on a white horse, dressed as the Lone Ranger. He does know how to make a Vegas entrance!

One man can make a difference, and organize a Festival!

I also would have liked to go over all the new additions added to the “Decepticar – attack mode” it looks wicked! Good job, man!

Decepticar! Now comes in attack mode!

The fans make this event a great way to share their passion for KITT and the show(s) and meet those people who helped make their favorite show (and thanks to Producer Ron who created a job for me at Universal Studios!)

Now there is one big fan who just can’t get enough of KITT, 5 bonus SCC points if you can guess who did thier nails as a tribute to KITT’s voice box?

Knight Rider Nails?

In almost any culture, it’s usually those who have less who give more.

A bachelor who lives a spartan life offered us a bounty of fresh produce, unexpectedly.

Thankful for summer’s bounty. (Hadi Dadashian photo)

We said we would only accept if he could name something he would enjoy in return — some home baking, perhaps?

I wish I had words to capture his look of astonishment.

“No,” said the one with less, “I just want to give.”

Life in 5 lines or less© is thankful for the generosity of others, here every Saturday.

FINAL SAG Predictions! Each Film Will Win ONE Award

manchester-by-the-sea-92-emma-stonesI have to get this out as soon as possible. It’s SUCH a cut and dried year that it’s almost like typing blindfold. OF COURSE, Casey Affleck is going to win Best Actor tomorrow night at the SAG Awards. He’s won everything else. And it IS a great affecting performance that stays with you. It is also the most courageous depiction of grief I’ve ever seen in a major motion picture. He’ll win here because I think the SAG ensemble prize is going elsewhere. No, it’s not the 14 time Oscar nominee “La La Land”. It wasn’t even nominated!

But I think it’s leading lady, Emma Stone will win Best Actress. If they like “La La Land” and evidently they do, Emma in Best Actress is the only place they can vote for LLL. The same with “Manchester”. Casey Affleck will win big, because it’s not possible to vote for him or “Manchester by the Sea” anywhere else in this group of Awards.

Also, remember it’s a VERY American voting body. It’s the Actor’s of America voting so foreigners need not apply.

Viola Davis is the most mortal of locks for Best Supporting Actress for “Fences.” She’ll repeat her Broadway triumph here.

It’s a little trickier as we go on. So far we have one for “Manchester by the Sea”, Casey Affleck and one for “La La Land” Emma Stone, We have one for “Fences” which will be Viola Davis.

Then we run into the problem so who will win Best Supporting Actor. Will it be Mahershala Ali for “Moonlight” or Patel for “Lion”? Given that I think SAG is in a -spread-the-wealth mood. If Mahershala wins for his compassionate drug dealer then “Moonlight” won’t also win Best Ensemble. They might want to give “Moonlight” Best Ensemble(and it truly IS an ensemble). Then another actor of color would win Supporting which would be Dev Patel. If they liked “Lion” and the Weinsteins, this is the only category where they can vote for him.

So, if early in the evening, Patel wins in Supporting, then you can be sure that “Moonlight” will walk away with ensemble

But if it’s Mahershala Ali, who wins then the top award, their version of Best Picture, will go to another racially themed film, the box-office blockbuster “Hidden Figures” which has been surging during the voting period.

So therefore SAG will feel they’ve been fair to all. “Everyone has won and all  shall have prizes” cried the Dodo in “Alice Through the Looking Glass.

Viggo Mortensen is Fantastic in “Captain Fantastic”

captain-fantastic-1As the votes become due for the Oscar Nominations and the voting officially closed Friday, the 13th, the one name that kept appearing on lists of the Top Five Best Actor predictions was unexpectedly Danish-American actor Viggo Mortensen. Then he got nominated for the SAG Best Actor and his film “Captain Fantastic” became unexpectedly nominated for Best Ensemble. Which is the SAG equivalent of best film. For Best Actor he knocked out(probably) Tom Hanks in “Sully” and in Ensemble it replaced shockingly “La La Land.”

Yes, juggernaut “La La Land” did not make the cut with SAG, but “Captain Fantastic” astoundingly did. So I had to check it out. Better late than never. I do admit I had to be dragged kicking and screaming to watch it, but guess what? I totally loved it! And Viggo is at a career-high with this VERY atypical role.

He plays a man who has retreated totally from society as we know it, with his six underage children and lives in the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest in and around a battered green bus. Very hippy dippy. Yeah, that’s what I thought before I gave it a chance and it turns out the film is very sweet and Viggo is as warm as a roaring fireplace (that’s refreshing in this chilly, dour year)and it’s all about fatherhood.captain-fantastic-2

This is a side we’ve never seen of Viggo before, his sweetness. And he’s got a lot to share. He excels in the scenes with his children, who are totally dependent on him, yet he wants them to be as independent and anti-social as he is.

Known primarily as a swash-buckler, swaggering his way through centuries, his trademark role is probably Aragorn, the heroic knight of the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy and is arguably one of the prime reasons for its’ success as a series of well, swash-buckling epics. He’s every Hobbits best friend.

He can go to the Dark Side,  too, as we saw in his Russian gangster, with perfect Russian accent, and multiple tattoos in David Cronenberg’s “Eastern Promises.” His nude fight in a British sauna with thugs who are trying to kill him has been described by the late Roger Ebert as “a benchmark.”

For those who MUST know, he’s also totally nude, briefly, in this film, too. His line is “It’s just a penis.” Every time he takes off all his clothes, it seems he gets Oscar consideration.

But he does more than just strip in “Captain Fantastic.” He lets his soft side show and is just the most admirable pater familias possible. To see the tough-as-nails Mortensen, drop the sword play and guns and,  replace them with hugs and concerned tears, is just, well, kind of Fantastic, as the title says. He does live up to his name.

To say that it’s a change of pace roll in Mortensen’s career is an understatement. It’s more like a total earthquake-like revelation.captain-fantastic-3And he’s surrounded, SAG is right, by an admirable ensemble. Notably the towering rage of Frank Langella as his straight-arrow father-in-law, and nobody less than the redoubtable Anne Dowd as his ultra-maternal mother-in-law. In a few brief scenes that she has the magnificent Dowd shows that there is indeed love to be found in this strangest of family situations.captain-fantastic-4

George MacKay as Bo and Nicholas Hamilton as Rellian, his two oldest sons also stand up to him and challenge him in ways that no ordinary children would. But Captain Fantastic has fashioned nothing that is ordinary. Everything is original and also deeply touching. This is a sweet-natured gem of a film and I’m glad it’s getting the awards attention it deserves.

If you ever wanted to know what it’s like to grow up in a commune, “Captain Fantastic” answers all those complicated life questions. And there are no simple answers.

Our Story

“Step-UP Bike” was invented by a mechanical engineer employed at one of the “Big Three” auto manufacturing companies, in Metro Detroit.  The idea was born out of love for his wife, as she was an avid runner who competed in marathons her whole life UNTIL the consistent “high impact” of running streets started causing pain and inflammation in her joints.  She had to quit running and was looking for a solution that would deliver an above average exercise experience and training without the high impact.  Her loving husband, being an engineer, thought there may be something he could build with perfect anatomical body positioning to deliver the high-level, low impact training his wife desired.

Fast forward to today, after 2 years of development the “Step-UP” Bike is born!  Step-UP Bike has been tested, refined and ready to help thousands of consumers have FUN while exercising.  This piece of exercise equipment has been proven to be a “low-impact”, actually “NO IMPACT” high performance exercise bike.  It is so versatile, it can be used for: Casual Riding, Cross Training, Cardio Interval Training, Leg and Joint Rehab, Strength Training, or a green mode of transportation utilizing our electric assist model.  Because of our Patented Design, use of Full Body Function, and Outdoor & Indoor capability, we are very uniquely positioned in the market place offering more health and exercise benefits over other bikes and exercise equipment.

There are many reasons for owning a Step-UP bike for exercise and casual bike riding vs. traditional bikes, stationary bikes, a treadmill, or an elliptical.  We feel our design is also the best in the marketplace compared to other elliptical bikes like Elliptigo.  StepUP Bike offers a much better workout and a better anatomical riding position. See our top 10 reasons you should own a Step-UP Bike.

  1. No impact cardio workout, perfect upright ANATOMICAL POSITION
  2. Coasting position with both feet together vs. legs in a scissor position like Elliptigo and others.
  3. Riding Step-UP Bike, burns calories 40% faster than a traditional bike workout
  4. Full Body (Upper &Lower) Exercise, building lean muscle mass throughout without weights
  5. Great “Cross-Training”, different than running yet giving that high level workout for peak performance
  6. Great recovery Interval Training exercise.  Because of the Full Body function needed to ride Step-UP Bike, your cardio is maximized quicker and more repetitively during any workout timeframe improving your health quicker
  7. Great reliable transportation featuring manual and electric assisted modes
  8. “Urban” Commuter – Green Transportation
  9. Save money and time.  Owning a Step-UP Bike and riding it routinely, will save hundreds of dollars per year and thousands of hours spent exercising to achieve the same result.  Our pro-type bikes, have over 2,000 hours of riding on them over a 3-year period of time with NO major repairs needed.
  10. FUN Exercise.  You cannot achieve the same level of exercise benefit and have as much fun as you achieve while riding the Step-UP Bike.

StepUP Bike – FUN, disguised as exercise!

Belated Rhinebeck Report November 18, 2009

Posted by lunarawe in drop spindle, Rhinebeck, spinning.
add a comment

It was so beautiful in Rhinebeck this year, contrary to all the dire weather predictions. Both of us were not feeling 100% so the warmth and sunshine really felt like a gift!

Our crew expanded this year! Kierstin, Tracy and Jeremie joined us and we weathered the cold and played with the sheepies together. Super fun!

Anyway, it was another good year for spinning as I said earlier, and I am delighted to have won a blue ribbon for the best Leicester Longwool skein. I was highly surprised, grateful, and amused (!) when I received this in the mail just a week or so later…

I love the blank letterhead… though thank goodness they included it because otherwise I never would have known why I was getting $50 in the mail. I like to tell myself that it paid for most of my favorite toy from Rhinebeck this year… an aromatherapy RingSpindle!

I love it! Not only does it sport a cauldron on the top but the delicious aromatherapy diffusion really works! I definitely commend this craft tool to everyone. There was of course much more delightfulness to experience, taste, and see! More on that soon….

Calorimetry November 6, 2009

This is such a fabulous pattern! After Kierstin made me one like a total love, I realized how perfect this winter gear solution was for locs. Problem… I have a bright red coat which I cannot wear with her delightful mauve calorimetry. I wear that one with my other coat. So what is a knitter to do the night before leaving for Montreal in November with said red coat? Knit of course! This is in Manos del Uruguay Wool Classica with a happy pewter spinning wheel button.

Too satisfying.
