Patient 0

Are you familiar with the concept of patient 0? Patient 0 is the person who starts the outbreak of a disease or some other problem. For example, if your kid were to catch the flu in Chicago and bring it back to Orlando to give it to all his classmates, he would be "patient 0".

Early on in C’s development, I showed him the wonderful fun that could be had banging out rhythms on the table. We’d sit down to dinner, he’d bang a hand on the table and smile at me. I’d bang twice, and then we’d both just start in on an impromptu percussive concert.

Pretty cool, huh? It didn’t happen every dinner – probably only about twice a week.

Several months back, C started going to "playschool" twice a week. This is a few hours of classes where kids go to play and learn. During this, the kids break out their packed lunches and have a lunch time.

Two weeks into the class, there was quite a stir at the school. It seemed that during lunch time someone started banging on the table, and before the teachers could see who it was, everyone at the table had started. It spread like wildfire around the room until all the kids were banging on the tables. The kids used their hands, spoons, cups, or whatever was in reach.

I wasn’t there, but I understand they laid down a pretty good beat.

The teachers quieted them down, eventually, but apparently it was a recurring problem for quite a while. They’d sit down to eat and then "Bang!", giggle, giggle, giggle, "Bang!". If they didn’t stop it right away, the whole place would erupt again.

I even heard reports of kids banging out rhythms on the tables at home and then beaming proudly at their parents. There was quite a bit of gossip as people tried to find "patient 0".

We would have gotten away with it, but for me. One evening, we were eating dinner with some friends and C started banging on the table. One of the other parents started to shush him and I said "oh, that’s fine. It’s just a game we play." To show them it was okay, I banged the table back at him. Soon, all the kids and I were drumming away. I think one of us might have even started to sing.

And then I saw the horrified expression on the other mom’s face – and the embarrassed one on J’s.

C’s not allowed to bang on the table any more – at least not while J’s around.

5 Essential Tools for Creating a Podcast

Are you tired of creating the same old content? Blog posts and social media are the core of most content marketing strategies. However, trying something new can be a nice change for content creators and consumers alike. Creating a podcast is an excellent way to share stories and produce a wealth of content to boost SEO and attract new leads.

There are many steps involved in creating a podcast, and each takes effort and dedication. However, once you’re familiar with those steps, free online resources and a decent microphone is all you need. I recently created a podcast and, thanks to these five tools, it was a breeze.

Proper Microphone

In order to produce a professional podcast, you must focus on capturing high-quality sound. Even those with vast experience in audio editing can’t fix all of the problems with sound that was terribly recorded. Don’t overestimate the quality of your computer’s built-in microphone or your smartphone–opt for borrowing or buying your own external microphone. I’ve used microphones ranging from $50 to more than $100, all of which worked well. Here is a list of 10 different microphones that I would recommend checking out.

Copyright Free Music

When finished capturing audio, you should look for music to play in the introduction and anywhere else throughout the podcast. My favorite site for copyright free music is the Free Music Archive, but there are plenty of other resources with free and legal music. It can be tricky to find music that fits the tone of your podcast while also having the proper license. If creating a podcast for a client, you’ll want to be sure the track is copyright free for commercial use, and you’ll most likely have to give attribution at the end of the podcast.

Audio Editing Software

Finally, after you have gathered all of the soundbites and music tracks, it’s time to put them together and edit out unfavorable sounds. If you have access to the Adobe Creative Suite, I would suggest using Audition. It is very user friendly and offers a vast amount of editing techniques. Audacity is a software that you can download from the internet for free. Although it doesn’t allow for many audio editing capabilities, it provides the essentials and is straight-forward to use.

Online Tutorials

Using an audio editing software to mix multiple tracks isn’t as intimidating as it sounds. Familiarize yourself with the software and you’ll soon understand how simple the process is. However, it’s likely you’ll run into some roadblocks on your way to creating your podcast. Luckily, there are countless online tutorials that will help you surpass any confusion. Just use Google or YouTube and be as specific as possible with your search terms.

Podcast Directories

Once your podcast is ready to go live, you need to find a home for it! Submit your podcast to iTunes first, but there are many other directories with a wide reach that you should submit to. If your podcast lives in many popular sites, it will have a better chance of people listening to and sharing it.

Now you’re ready to take your content strategy to the next level! Don’t forget to share your podcast on the appropriate website and on social media platforms. If you need a little inspiration to get started, learn what our team at Suite 4 does to get motivated to achieve our goals!

The Central Problem of Economics (Oil)

Economics may seem like a topic that can be so closely related to what’s happening in the economy but to really express it seems like an entirely different matter. Economics is the study of how society allocates limited resources to the production of goods and services to satisfy unlimited human wants.

There are two types of economics: macroeconomics and microeconomics. Macroeconomics deals with economy-wide phenomena such as changes in unemployment, national income, rate of growth, gross domestic product (GDP), inflation and price levels. Microeconomics on the other hand, deals with analysing the market behaviour of individual consumers and firms in an attempt to understand the decision making process of firms and households. Microeconomics focuses on the individual aspects of the economy, while macroeconomics looks at the big picture of the economy.

In this series of economics application, let us try to understand the different types of resources and what scarcity is before diving into how it can be applied to one compelling topic going on in the global economy these days.

Factors/Types of Production

Of course, in order to produce goods and services, an economy needs to have resources. The more the amount of resources an economy has, the more the amount of goods and services it can produce. Resources are usually divided into 4 categories also known as 4 factors of production: land, labour, capital and enterprise.

Land refers to gifts of nature that are used to produce goods and services.

Labour refers to the physical and mental effort that people devote to the production of goods and services.

Capital refers to the goods that are produced for use in the production of other goods. It includes factories and machinery.

Enterprise refers to the ability and willingness to take risk.

Scarcity, Choice and Opportunity Cost

We know that human always have unlimited wants but there are only so much resources on earth that can be utilized to fulfil our needs. The more resources we use to satisfy our needs, the lesser there is left to fulfil other wants. This would in turn, give rise to scarcity as limited resources becomes insufficient to produce goods and services to satisfy unlimited human wants. Scarcity then requires us to make choices, to choose what goods and services to produce. When a choice is made, an opportunity cost is incurred because the same amount of resources that can be used to produce good B is now used to produce good A. The opportunity cost of a course of action is the benefit forgone by not choosing its next best alternative. In other words, when the society chooses what goods and services to produce, it is also choosing what goods and services not to produce.

Economic Efficiency

Due to the problem of scarcity, all economies must make three fundamental economic decisions:

  1. What and how much to produce
  2. How to produce
  3. For whom to produce

In making these three fundamental economic decisions, the objective is to maximize the welfare of the society. However, there occur times where this may not be the case.

Fear of Oil Scarcity

During 2003, the price for oil rose above $30, reached $60 by Aug 2005 and peaked at $147.30 in Jul 2008. Commentators attributed that this was caused by a number of factors such as tension in Middle East, soaring demand in China, the falling value of U.S. currency, a decline in petroleum reserves, worries over peak oil and last but not least, financial speculation. In 2008, despite vast investment in exploration and production of oil, international oil companies fail to replace the oil they produce each year with fresh discoveries, or even to maintain current levels of output. Shell’s oil production has been falling for six years, BP’s oil production seem to have peaked in 2005 while Exxon admitted that its output has fallen by 10% in the first quarter of 2008. Evidence shows that the world is soon reaching “peak oil” because oil companies have been setting record high oil prices and absurd rising fuel costs. It was no surprise that the persistent increase in oil prices over the past decade suggests that global oil market have entered a period of increased scarcity. Oil has become a limited resource because it becomes insufficient to fulfil every country’s needs and wants.

The Economics of Oil Change Begins

Over the past five years, prices of oil have hovered around $110/barrel and this has caused oil men from North Dakota and Texas to complete almost 20,000 new wells since 2010. It is not surprising because everyone wants a share of the large pie of profits oil can provide. However, what they did not foresee was what follow suit after. Oil prices began falling into a vicious downward spiral as major economies started slowing, demand for oil stagnate, increased U.S. domestic crude oil and OPEC’s decision to maintain current export levels. In 2014, this combination has caused excess oil supply to lead a 50% market decline. (Read more on: Will Oil Prices Recover in 2015?)

Just last month, despite plummeting oil prices and growing disagreements among members of the OPEC, OPEC have decided to continue increasing oil production levels, to a rate not seen in 30 years. Doug Terreson, an oil analyst with Evercorer ISI, explained that demand will rise between 1.3 and 1.5 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2016 and non-OPEC supply, specifically U.S. shale, will decline around 400,000 (bpd) for which OPEC will compensate this by increasing 500,000 (bpd), causing inventory to eventually decline on a whole. However, this is not to mention that despite the pressure placed on high cost crude producers, like the U.S. shale frackers, they have proven to be unexpectedly resilient. Even if there may be a significant reduction in the number of oil rigs left in the U.S. fields, it seems that production of oil in America has only decreased slightly. The outcome that Saudi Arabia wishes to see by agreeing to cut its production by up to 1 million (bpd) only if non-OPEC members like Russia, Mexico, Oman and Kazakhstan agrees to reduce output, seems to be a little questionable after all.

An Eager Iran to Re-Enter the Oil Exports After International Sanctions Lift

With Iran’s return to the international oil market after years of international sanctions, it is unlikely that they would agree especially when Iranian leaders have said that they plan to bring 500,000 (bpd) of oil to markets as soon as possible. The world is already oversupplied with approximately 1.5 million barrels of oil. The pain that Saudi Arabia is causing to its other OPEC members is real; not all OPEC members share similar low costs in digging oil out from the ground, and it will not be before long that one of them could not hold out anymore. On Jan 18, 2016, oil prices dives below $29 a barrel for the first time since 2003. While cheaper oil may offer an excellent economic boost as fuel now cost cheaper than ever before, it is in fact causing chaos in the energy sector. Profits skydived, jobs slashed and dozens of oil companies have already filed for bankruptcy. In fact, markets could drown in an oversupply of oil.

As mentioned earlier, in order to produce goods and services, an economy needs to have resources. The more the amount of resources an economy has, the more the amount of goods and services it can produce. Human wants are always unlimited and scarcity of resources requires us to make choices but what if there is too much resources to the extent the economy is becoming imbalance?

Why Brain Injury Attorney After a Severe TBI?

Why Brain Injury Attorney

By Attorney Gordon Johnson

I want to express on this page the need for an attorney and why brain injury attorney.  The more knowledge an attorney has for the cases he or she is handling the better the outcome for the client.

These pages are written by an attorney, who is also the author of http://waiting.com and the TBI Voices blog. When I speak about “recovery”, I don’t mean the amount of money the brain injury survivor receives from a claim or lawsuit. When I speak about recovery, I am talking about the recovery from the brain injury.

If you are searching for information about brain injury after your loved one suffered a severe brain injury or coma, you’re probably most concerned about making sure that he or she gets the best medical care, the best chance at rehabilitation.  But if you hire the wrong lawyer, you may be foreclosing one of the best chances for long term recovery. Why brain injury attorney? The reason:

A lawyer inexperienced in representing those with severe brain injury may not have sufficient connections, credibility and experience to explore all methods of getting the survivor placed in an appropriate brain injury rehabilitation program.

Personal injury lawyers have a common flaw in that they think that the more catastrophic the injury, the less expertise they need with traumatic brain injury to handle the matter.

Our firm continues to get numerous calls from people who are represented by lawyers who don’t understand brain injury. Most of these calls are for MTBI cases, where the attorney doesn’t “get” that the client can be disabled by a concussion. This is why brain injury attorney.

Yet, the biggest potential harm in not having a brain injury attorney comes in the severe brain injury case. In a severe brain injury, an experienced advocate (who is more than just a lawyer) can make a substantial difference in terms of the quality of rehabilitation that the injured brain injured person receives.

If you have a severe brain injury, if your loved one is in a coma, there are steps that must be taken to assure that the best treatment is received.

ICOM-CC 17th Triennial Conference, Melbourne

Published on: Author: sarahfoskett Leave a comment

by Stella Gardner, CTC Graduate, 2013.

This year’s ICOM-CC conference in Melbourne was my first experience of a major international conference and it was rather exciting travelling to Australia to mingle with 500+ conservators from all over the world! It also gave me and several former CTC students the chance to meet up again after graduating a year ago. Under the theme ‘Building Strong Culture through Conservation’ we heard sessions and papers relating to sites, collections or individual objects that brought about collaboration and involvement of conservators, heritage professionals and local communities.

The textile group sessions were right at the beginning of the week and although few in number they covered a wide range of topics and offered interesting and valuable papers. Other working group sessions throughout the conference, for example Ethnographic, Leather and Preventive, were extremely beneficial and it was encouraging to see similarities across the different disciplines. While many of the papers were not textile related the majority offered ideas and treatments which could be applied to my practice as a conservator in a private textile studio.

As part of the conference we joined a group visit to the National Gallery of Victoria textile conservation labs. We were shown around the studio and introduced to the various projects the team were currently working on. We also visited the Australian Tapestry Workshop which was full of incredibly detailed and brightly coloured tapestries.

Another positive aspect of the conference was the recognition paid to the original owners of the land, the Indigenous Australians. At each plenary session, cultural and social event we were welcomed to the land by a local Aboriginal Elder and learnt a little about their fascinating living cultural heritage. We were even treated to a rendition of ‘Waltzing Matilda’ played on the gum leaf!

Along with the many thought-provoking papers there were also ample breaks to network, read posters and enjoy tea and biscuits or the delicious Australian cuisine Melbourne (and the conference) had to offer! The final announcement was the location of the next ICOM-CC Conference in 2017 – Copenhagen! I would definitely recommend attending the conference as not only is it a brilliant opportunity to hear about the latest researches and practices carried out across the conservation disciplines but it is also a great way to meet and make contacts with other conservators from across the globe.  I am very grateful to the Clothworkers’ Foundation and the Anna Plowden Trust for their generous support, without which I would have been unable to attend the conference.

David Frankham’s four-part HBO Documentary series, “Witness” has a segment on South Sudan’s Arrow Boys, a voluntary militia. (Veronique de Viguere/HBO)

by Christopher A. Daniel

David Frankham takes pride in good storytelling.

His HBO Documentary Series, Witness, takes a candid look at the conflict photojournalists’ quest to provide first person accounts of various parts of the world plagued by social ills. The four-part series, co-executive produced by director Michael Mann, is the offspring of Frankham’s discontent with news sources and their disconnect from the stories they report. “I’ve been kinda tough on the news lately, but it’s obviously a different format,” he says. “I was feeling very numb about the news summing up very complicated situations into very simplistic black and white, good vs. evil scenarios. You’re watching these newscasters, and most of them have never been to Somalia.”

The Los Angeles native and 12-year veteran of directing commercials made his way to Atlanta for the BronzeLens Film Festival’s “Cinema and Social Justice” screenings. The self-proclaimed news junkie recalls seeing reports on Somali pirates following the birth of his now three-year-old daughter. He questioned the editorial decisions of the investigative reporters. “Why are we not getting the story from these photographers on the ground?” he asks.

The documentarian took matters into his own hands. He self-funded a 15-day trek to Juarez, Mexico with a five-person crew and produced a 30-minute short on the nation’s high-profile drug wars, which was shortlisted by the Academy Awards in 2011. Michael Mann immediately became a champion of Frankham’s vision after seeing the film short. The series (hour-long segments) developed into excursions into Libya and Rio de Janeiro. “[Michael’s] a master and one of my heroes in filmmaking,” Frankham says. “[Michael] challenged us when discussing the photographers, specific conflicts and events. He was constantly reminding us to keep it a character-driven, experiential film and to not try to do too much.”

The South Sudan installment, airing November 19, follows pregnant French photojournalist Veronique de Viguerie. She accompanies the Arrow Boys, a voluntary militia, in the villages post-Joseph Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) imperialism. She gets to know the natives personally, experience death on-site and hears of their hardships. “It’s very important to understand both sides, to understand what’s going on and to create an immersive experience where all of these films leave you with more questions than answers,” Frankham says. “I can’t give it to you all in 100 hours, but I want to engage on a human level.”

With the internet and downsizing of various news organizations, opportunities for the media to embark on global reports are steadily dwindling. Frankham reflects on the deaths of Tim Hetherington, Oscar-nominated photojournalist and director behind Restrepo, and Chris Hondros, another Pulitzer Prize-nominated photojournalist, during production in Libya. He says their passion and dedication to deliver the stories make Witness a landmark program. “There are a lot of conflicts that need this kind of attention along with people putting themselves in harm’s way,” Frankham says. “There are less and less photographers getting these assignments, and it’s harder to be a conflict photographer. ‘Witness‘ expands the medium.”

Witness is a watershed moment for Frankham’s career, investigative journalism and documentaries. HBO fully endorses his creative and political liberties. He aspires to create a movement. “I hope that we continue to do more of them,” he says. “There are a lot of people interested in conflicts all over the world, and they want a more in-depth conversation.”

Great Adventure Holiday in the Park

Check out the 2018 Holiday in the Park trip report

I made my final visit to Six Flags Great Adventure this year on December 19th, 2015; literally the first time I can say that I went to Six Flags in December. So, this winter has been super mild in the northeast with temperatures in the mid 50s every day with some days topping out even warmer. Only a couple weeks ago it was so warm that I went biking with shorts and a t-shirt; something I haven’t been able to do since September and it looks like Christmas Eve is supposed to be in the 70s! Unfortunately December 19th wasn’t one of these warm days. Hell, it wasn’t even normal, rather colder than average with wind. Perfect. Of all the days..

Holiday in the Park

Bigger tree

I arrived at the park at around quarter after 4 and did a walk around with my camera. Seems like the park made a few tweaks from my earlier visit to Holiday in the Park. One big difference was that the Big Wheel was operating, and it had quite the line. Another difference was that the Wishing Tree in front of Batman had seemingly grown to triple the size. I have no idea if there’s something to this tree, like the more “wishes” people make the bigger it gets, but regardless it’s bigger. Fire pits also had some changes, namely they had mesh caps now. Some were opened on one side while others had little holes cut out to stick marshmallows in. There were also some new fire pits in front of Twister in the Treetop Summit area.

Holiday in the ParkAfter about an hour of photo taking, I stored my camera in the Skull Mountain Poinsettia Peak lockers and hit some rides. My first stop was Nitro which I arrived just in time for a train switch which wasted about 10 minutes. Got to say, I’m glad I was on the next train afterwards because Nitro with one train is an unbearable wait with how long the course is. Needless to say, Nitro was a really cold experience riding along at 80mph in sub 40 degree temperatures. One of the ride ops was wearing shorts and a t-shirt. I know they run around a lot while loading passengers, but I feel like that’s a little too adventurous for the temps.

I went on Batman next which had an empty station save for the front seat. The front was a two train wait, so I thought I may as well wait for the front. These old Batman clone designs are approaching 25 years old but they’re probably more intense than most of what B&M has made since then. Front seat is even more forceful, heading into the loops at top speed and such.

Holiday in the ParkI walked across the park to ride Superman, which I was certain had no line. I was basically right. It had a 1 or 2 train wait for each row. At first I went to the front but then headed for the fourth row after I saw no one waiting for it. It doesn’t really matter where you sit on this coaster, you see ground the whole time anyway! I skipped Green Lantern and hopped on Twister instead which has been running a lot better these days with like four flips during the first half of the cycle. After edging the gondola downwards at the end of the cycle, the brakes released and the gondola was seemingly stuck upsidedown due to perfect balance. The arms jerked a bit and it finally flipped forward.

Holiday in the Park

Random flatride shot

I decided to hit two more rides, Fender Benders and SkyScreamer before going back to the locker. Fender Benders had the longest line of the night, mostly due to how long it takes to load the ride. The cars seem to be running a bit slower than I remember. SkyScreamer was a walk on basically. Temps had dropped further than when I rode Nitro, and it was soooooo cold on this. The wind was also gusty at the top, which made the swing sway and bend a bit. I got back to the locker a minute or two after its expiration. Seems like it doesn’t just pop open when time is up. Grace period, maybe?

Holiday in the Park Showcase TheaterMy final stop of the night was Showcase Theater for Jack Frost’s Magical Christmas. A show at Great Adventure is a rare thing these days, so how I could I pass it up? Plus, it would be warm. The path leading to the theater was adorned with small pine trees with orange lighting. A few light sculptures were placed around; one with a nativity scene, another featuring a Kwanzaa kinara, and another of a Hanukkah menorah. The path was walled in with high fencing, hiding all but the tops of the Old Country buildings. I don’t know, I feel like the Bavarian architecture of that area would fit pretty well with the holiday vibe.

The theater itself was decorated with color changing LEDs with lighted star patterns projected on the ground in front of it. Aside from that, the area didn’t have a whole lot going on. Funny enough, they actually decorated the window of the old Ice Works store in front of Chiller. I wonder how many people even saw it?

Jack Frost’s Magical Christmas featured the eponymous Jack Frost in his quest to get a Christmas present. It was essentially a small circus type show starting with a block balancing act, then a fleet of dogs came out and did tricks, finally wrapping up with a chair balancing act. I like how they played the theme song from The Goonies during the final act. In the end, Jack Frost got his present…wont tell you what it is though! Not a bad little show overall.

After the show ended there was a half an hour before the park closed, so I made my way to the exit. Got to say, I really liked Holiday in the Park! Six Flags did a fine job with theming and festivities. Hopefully they continue the event in coming years.

Finally, I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

 Peanut Butter Cookies for the Trail! - Thinlandia
nav-left cat-right

Peanut Butter Cookies for the Trail!

I am now seriously on a cookie kick. Might I add a sweet baked desserts kick, as I also made some amazing chocolate brownies today? I’ve never eaten so well as since I’ve been blogging here at Thinlandia, trying out new recipes, and doing whatever I can to make yummy foods that will easily fit into a sensible diet plan!

Yesterday’s Thinlandia Snack Mix inspired “Cookies For The Trail” completely inspired me, as I got such rave reviews from my kids and Beau. So, I had some extra time, the oven was hot from making the brownies, and it seemed like a good idea to whip up a peanut version. I figured this variation would have a few more calories and a little more fat, as that is the nature of nuts. Still, variety is the spice of life! There is something magical and childlike about peanut-butter cookies, and I wanted to experience it again!

This recipe made two dozen smallish cookies. I like to make them small so I have a lot of “serving size” options, but I’m sure they would work out just as well if you doubled the amount of batter for a larger cookie.

Peanut Butter Cookies for the Trail!

1/4 cup Brown Sugar Blend Splenda
1/8 cup (2 tablespoons) softened butter
1/4 cup applesauce (I used Cinnamon Applesauce)
1/8 cup water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg white
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon Also Salt
2 tablespoons all natural no sodium added peanut butter
2 cups Cheerios
1/4 cup Nestle Dark Chocolate Raisinets
1/4 cup peanuts; dry roasted or honey roasted would each be fine

Cream sugar, butter, applesauce, water, vanilla and egg white together. Add flour, oatmeal, baking soda, Also Salt, and peanut butter to butter mixture and then add Cheerios and peanuts. Drop by tablespoon onto a cookie sheet that has been prepared with Butter-flavored Pam Spray. Bake at about 375 degrees for 10 or 11 minutes.

Tip: Since there are so many extra “add-ins” in these cookies and not a lot of the actual binding ingredients, I found it helpful to use a very small ice cream scoop to sort of compact the ingredients into a little ball as I was getting them onto the pan. Otherwise, they were VERY prone to fall apart before I got them situated. I then sprayed the bottom of a glass with butter-flavored Pam and smashed each cookie down a bit, as they do not really spread while baking.

Makes two dozen.

Why Blind Ignorance Persists, Blindly

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

I’ve sometimes asked when will the day come when people will discover the real truth about any issue? The answer, for anyone willing to do some historic investigation, is never. Here’s why.

If you are not willing to accept the fact that we are all brainwashed and programmed to act and react, void of independent thinking, there is little use to continue reading what follows. In essence, you are already beyond help. I’ll help explain why.

Everyone in this day and age of post normal everything, believe they know the truth. I say believe because that is precisely what is going on. People believe. They do not know. They do not have knowledge. They do not have an open mind. They cannot think. And so, they simply believe. It’s easier that way.

Eric Hoffer, author of the book, The True Believer, says that everyone wants to belong to something, to be on someone’s side, to feel important. Being a “True Believer” serves that role. True Believers take narrative that sounds wonderful and fits one’s ideology, whether they are conscious of what they are doing or not, and jump on a band wagon believing they have truth.

With a new belief, combined with a manipulated mind that will shut down to any suggestion of “new thinking,” how, then, does anyone break through that wall?

This is, not necessarily, a new thing. Recently I received a link to an article from a Canadian newspaper that looked back in history, to a time around the Great Depression, when the owner of the newspaper, Sault Star, offered a $100 reward for anyone who could prove to him that any person had been “attacked” by a wolf. The reward and attack criteria was limited to just Algoma.

First, here’s the quote taken from the newspaper in 1925: “This is to inform the public that the Sault Daily Star will pay $100 to the first person who can establish to the satisfaction of the editor that any timber or brush wolf has attacked any person in Algoma.” (emboldening added)

The obvious problem in this account of the person offering a reward, is that it has been established as a rigged system. Everything and any and all evidence becomes value-weighted to the perceptions of the newspaper. This is a clear example of a person’s truth is THE truth and everything else is wrong…even if it means refusing to accept any other information that might be contrary to his truth.

Second, to further exemplify the closed mind of the True Believer, who has already established the limits of any challenges to his truth, we discover that this same person decides to create “Wolf Week” in honor of his loving wolf; to educate people to the “truth” about wolves. But is the Wolf Week creator really interested in “educating” people about wolves, or is he more interested in drawing like-minded, non-thinking, brain dead people to HIS festival and keep it protected from anyone who might think otherwise?

The articles states: “During Wolf Week, Curran erected an arch at Bell’s Point that was two cedar poles topped with a huge howling wolf. The banner on the arch read “Respectable Strangers Are Welcome In This Town.””

It doesn’t require a Ph.D. to understand what Curran meant by offering a banner that read, “Respectable Strangers Are Welcome.” In other words, so long as you think and act like him and are a True Believer, eager and willing to discard all facts to follow the doctrine, presented as “truth,” you are welcome to his festival.

This kind of mind controlled ignorance about wolves was prominent in 1925 and today, we have regressed further and further into the abyss of clinging to the “truth” that fits the narrative of the True Believer. There is little hope for a bright future where only cultivated “truth” exists: and it exists because nobody wants to know the truth. It may be uncomfortable.

However, don’t think for a minute that this behavior is limited to those believing the wolf to be their god. Because this is a belief centered on politics and religion, automatically, due to brainwashing and mind control, an antithesis is established, functioning fully on a false paradigm of two sides. Nothing ever changes. One side or the other, disregarding all morals of decency and honesty, fall prey to the power of money and wealth, willing to bastardize anything normal and decent to prop up their truth, presenting it to an eager Press, seeking the establishment of credibility. Generally the one side with the most money and control over the Press, Science, Education and Politics, wins.

The result becomes, on one side we have tRUTH. On the other side, we have tRUTH. Stuck somewhere outside the realm of today’s controlling paradigms, populated with True Believers, is actual Truth.

But don’t go look!

John Mauceri Joins the North Carolina Symphony in a Program Inspired by Film | Nov 20-24

Internationally renowned conductor John Mauceri will direct the North Carolina Symphony in a unique program that will present classic film scores along with the music that inspired its composers. The concert opens at the Stevens Center of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem on November 19, 2009 and will be performed again on November 20 & 21 at Meymandi Concert Hall in downtown Raleigh’s Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts and on November 24 at Memorial Hall on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus. All performances begin at 8pm.

“I am grateful to be invited as a guest to conduct this great ensemble and bring it to Winston-Salem, as well as perform in Raleigh and Chapel Hill, “says Mauceri.  “The program is one that is quite extraordinary and gives the people of North Carolina a rare opportunity to hear some of Hollywood’s greatest compositions alongside the music that inspired it during the tumultuous World War II period. Almost everything we are playing will constitute a North Carolina premiere.”

Over the past 35 years, Mauceri has conducted not only for Hollywood, but also for countless prestigious orchestras, most of the world’s greatest opera houses as well as on Broadway. A protégé of Leonard Bernstein, Mauceri will undoubtedly enchant audiences with his vast wealth of knowledge and showmanship as he both conducts and hosts these concerts.

john_mauceriMauceri made his professional orchestral debut in 1974 with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. He is the founding director of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra – a hand picked, elite group of Hollywood studio musicians. Under Mauceri’s direction, the innovative orchestra made 13 recordings and went on to perform over 300 concerts at the historic venue to an audience of over 4 million people. Mauceri is beginning his fourth year as Chancellor of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts.

Mauceri is known for his innovative programs. This one, he says, “called ‘Hollywood Emigrés and Protégés,’ is inspired by the journey to America by the two greatest Viennese composers in the 20th century: Arnold Schoenberg and Erich Wolfgang Korngold.” Audiences will hear selections from Schoenberg, Korngold, Herrmann, Strauss, and Williams. The pieces are taken from instantly recognizable films such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Adventures of Robin Hood and Psycho. North Carolina Symphony Vice President for Artistic Operations Scott Freck says that “combining these thrilling orchestral scores with John’s insightful commentary” will make this performance one of the most remarkable concerts we’ve given in recent history.”

For tickets and more information, please visit the North Carolina Symphony website at or call Audience Services at 919.733.2750, Monday-Friday, 10am- 5pm.

U17 Women’s Season Kicks Off Today

The long awaited Continental Tyres Women’s Under 17 National League kicks off today, with the Sligo Rovers women travelling to Dublin to take on Peamount (kick off 6.30pm).

The Bit O’Red’s first home game takes place at The Showgrounds next Saturday against Galway WFC.

The squad has been working hard in training ahead of the new season, with the Bit O’Red women raring to go.

Damon Kearney’s charges will also take on Donegal Women’s League, Athlone Town and Shelbourne Ladies throughout the course of the season.

Speaking ahead of the season, Erin Taheny said: “I’m very excited for the season ahead. It’s something different, it’s a step up. It’s great to have something to look towards. I’m a bit nervous because it is a massive step-up compared to Sligo/Leitrim and Gaynor Cup. It’s a new group of girls and it’s good to get to know them. I think we’ve really bonded as a team.”

Aife Haran, too, is looking forward to the start of the league campaign: “I’m really looking forward to it. It will be good for us to play against other good teams. I think it will bring us on as players. Training’s been really good, it’s been really intense which is good for us.”

Abbiegayle Ronayne is hoping that they can emulate the success of the Rovers underage boys teams: “I think it’s all about development because getting to play games with the best, you’re developing every game and you’re getting better as an individual and as a team. Sligo Rovers made a name for themselves with the men’s league and we’re kind of hoping to make a name for the women’s league and soon move up to seniors.”

Fuel Cell and Corrosion Hangars

New Mexico

Michael Baker provided architectural and engineering design services for two new Special Operations Forces (SOF) Fuel Cell and Corrosion Control hangars. Our team provided architectural, electrical, structural and civil design for the facilities. Design elements included utilities, storm drainage, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, energy management control systems, force protection measures, grading and landscaping.

The two new SOF hangars support the U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) mission in the southwest. The independent Fuel Cell Hangar is 31,707-square-feet and provides a state-of-the-art facility for aircraft fuel cell maintenance, accommodating a staff of approximately 90. The Corrosion Control Hangar is 51,694-square-feet and provides a modern facility for aircraft corrosion control and composite repair maintenance, accommodating a staff of approximately 120. Each SOF hangar includes administrative, mechanical and maintenance areas.

Our team organized, led and facilitated an on-site design charrette to lock-in site and building configurations and floor plans. Construction documents were prepared in two parts. Part I included site civil and foundation design and Part II included architectural, interior and mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection design.

Our team prepared specifications using the Specs Intact writing program and provided submittals at the 60 and 100 percent design stages. During the post-design/construction phase, we reviewed contractor submittals and 200 requests for information following the notice to proceed.

The facilities were designed to achieve LEED® Silver certification. We provided LEED-accredited professionals throughout the design phase and provided documentation of LEED credits pertaining to civil, landscape and mechanical, electrical and plumbing.

“These two new SOF hangars allow aircraft maintenance personnel to provide efficient around-the-clock maintenance of MC-130 aircrafts.”

The Golden Key, if I choose to use it…

Off with their heads! Or at least off with mine anyway.

It is the head that is the source of so many troubles. Can I really see that, right now, in this very moment?

The thing is too powerful, it’s dangerous even. It can shape our lives apart from the possibilities inherent in the creation around us. Do you ever ‘think’ about your thoughts?

I do. Too often. This morning, my thoughts have consumed precious moments that could have been restorative sleep. Thoughts blowing through garbage disposal of my mind have clogged up and stopped progress too.

My mind is so powerful, that things I repeatedly think, become real. True for you too?

How about thoughts like:

  • I am really ticked-off right now! (the ticked-off-ness builds)
  • This situation is hopeless! (the hope fades further away)
  • I am stuck and really freaking angry! (the possibility disappears and my blood boils)
  • I don’t know how I’m going to fix this or move on! (the ‘don’t know-ness’ increases)

Yeah, so when these things flood my brain, I’m challenged and stretched and it’s hard to see any light. It’s when I believe that these thoughts exist as truths, that I cement the failure in place, maybe forever.

I’ve chosen to believe thoughts. I’ve given them lots of power, and I have made big life changes based on such things.

This morning I grabbed a little pamphlet called the ‘The Golden Key’, by Emmet Fox. It’s a 6 (small) page reminder, that when we put our mind on thoughts of difficulty, the difficulty continues. His suggestion, as simple as it sounds, is to purposely, intentionally, switch our mental focus to thoughts of God.

Not like, “What would God do in this situation right now., ” Or “God would probably forgive me for killing this person I’m mad at right now!” or “God doesn’t have to deal with all this worldly crap, and he gets heaven all the time, why can’t I!!”

No, not like that.

The suggestion is to just think about the things you know about God. Anything and everything about the nature of God. Just to think those thoughts, replacing the focus on the trouble with a focus on the divine. Thinking God is wisdom, truth, the creator, infinitly powerful and present, are thoughts that open the mind. This actually feels free-er and relaxing and unclogs the ‘stopped-up-ness’ of a frustrated brain.

I’m using this technique right now. It’s slightly helping. I will take any slight improvement I can get. 🙂 Thinking of God, as a little exercise this morning is much better than the alternative. My thoughts are really extra powerful today, they could cause big changes, they have before. Sometimes it’s good, but thoughts of God, would have to be better than these.

I know that thoughts can ignite new life, spark adventure and inventions. They can become beautiful gardens ripe with fruit. But not all of them. Many are the opposite. They bring darkness and fear. They are wrapped tight in barbed-wire of anxiety and pain. They can show me all the things wrong in my world and slice apart my will to succeed… if I let them.

Golden Key today for me please. I must use this opportunity, or it may take me down. I am in charge here, not these thoughts. Actually God is in charge, and my misunderstanding, that it’s all up to me, may be my most fatal thought of all.

Giving it up to God. Giving over the reins of control to the almighty, and releasing my own grip on the outcome, the work, the struggle of untying a knotted ball of worries, is the lesson God is showing me this moment.

I have a quote framed on my desk, “It’s okay to really enjoy life, right now, under these exact circumstances.”  I need these words today. Apparently, at one point in the last couple weeks, Lindsay did too. She texted me this quote, after seeing it on my desk.

Funny thing is, those words, I wrote. Here on the blog many months ago. This stuff doesn’t come from me, it comes through me. I am only the means, the motor, that pushes these keys. That message, was from a higher consciousness than my own. It didn’t come from my angry little pea brain.

When I put my mind on the nature of God, the channels are open wider, truth can flow. Possibility abounds. It is okay to really enjoy life, right now, under these exact circumstances, as hard as my mind may want to fight that idea, it is true.

When I think of the expansive ocean of God’s love, it feels more and more real. Drop me in the middle of that ocean today, My Lord. I want to be drenched and immersed and bouyant in the very calmness of mercy and grace and power… I am just a broken man, that wants to be held like a baby.

Aaron Nichols

One thought on “The Golden Key, if I choose to use it…

  1. I feel compelled to comment on this Aaron. This particular blog could not have come at a better time for me. For the past few months I have been fading from what I know is right and surrounding myself with negative energy creating demons inside giving them more power than I ever dreamed. For me my doubt, jealousy, and anger has snow balled what used to be simple meaningless non controlling thoughts. I have given them life recently and they have become extremely controlling and thus turning me into the very monster I hate seeing others act like. This hit very hard at home for me. I realize some times I’m not alone when I see someone put into words the way I feel. I stopped living my life for him the moment I gave energy to negativity. Then selfishness took over. I started building my own heaven on earth rather than where it exists already. It’s no wonder the opportunities that have been offered to me in 2013 so far I have failed at. I could never have seized them because I never truly saw them for what they were really worth. I was blind. Satan is still around because he succeeds. If we all could live our life for God we would already be angels. Our will is what keeps us grounded and for that Satan will always be there to fuel negativity. Thank you for this post. It has already felt like a burden has been lifted. Now it’s time to hold on to this and get back on track!

Liberty print shirt dress: Simplicity 1880

June 22, 2013

I love shirt dresses! I think the first one I fell in love with was Sandy’s peach one in Grease when I was a little girl. The 8 year old me couldn’t comprehend her makeover- why on earth would she trade the pretty pastel dresses for the shiny black lycra and poodle hair?

Being a lover of sewing with vintage patterns I already own a couple of vintage shirt dress patterns. One of which I have made up in a blue gingham and one I am yet to try but am very excited about.

So I realllllly didn’t need Simplicity 1880 but there were so many cute variations with the pattern and I managed to convince myself into the purchase based on these and the slightly more 40s charm it had going on! I really can talk myself into pretty much anything when it comes to the acquisition of sewing or knitting supplies!

Simplicity 1880 Front

Simplicity 1880 Back

I decided to make up a toile of the version with little puffy sleeves first. I followed my measurements from the back of the envelope and the pattern came up as a pretty good fit so I would definitely say go with your measurements on this one.

The fabric is a discontinued Liberty print that I just love love love love!  I lined the skirt with a white cotton lawn as tana lawn is very fine and as a result a little see through without a lining.

I would definitely recommend this pattern if you want to create a vintage style shirt dress with the convenience of a modern pattern. I have already adapted the pattern to be a sleeveless style as I have always wanted to make a sleeveless shirt dress a la Betty Draper.

I am also looking forward to making one up with the longer sleeves for the cooler seasons.

Thanks for reading, there are more photos and construction information on my blog The Little Tailoress. Pop by and visit if you have a moment.

Until next time.

  1. Love it, and I love how the background matches your dress. Well done!

    I’m really into shirt dresses at the moment, though I’ve only made one. I find I sew too many dresses (can you have too many) and decided to focus this year on separates. Sigh!

  2. You really have captured the sweet, contented homemaker-look with this darling dress! A real inspiration to me as a housewife. Thank you!

  3. Normally I’m not a fan of pink or floral prints, but this dress is lovely and you look absolutely gorgeous on you. Well done!

Vintage Sewing

1956 pattern

October 6, 2013

Finally finished this dress in Amy Butler Nigella sateen cotton. It’s a great weight for this pattern and for a fall dress. My first shot at pockets– they needed some adjusting and tacking here and there, but overall, I faced my fear and I will be happy to tackle them again.

Pocket detail

The buttons are vintage jet, faceted and I had just enough.

Desert Forest Golf Club, Dobson Ranch Golf Course, Carefree, Phoenix Arizona Golf Course Critiques

Desert Forest Golf Club, Dobson Ranch Golf Course, Carefree, Phoenix Arizona Golf Course Critiques

Mid-size contours down the proper side have been supported and vegetation along the touchdown space thinned to enhance playability. Several yards were added down the left of the touchdown area where existing mesquites had been removed to supply width for the quick to medium size participant and create a more enticing gap hall. Further down, the left was pinched abruptly to heighten the problem to longer tee shots. This gap’s dogleg supplies a challenging opening drive for Members and new ahead tees help to melt the degree of issue. The challenge of skirting the dogleg off of the tee was difficult by a again-right green part that fell sharply in direction of the desert and cart path. In recontouring the green complicated, I supported this part of the green and expanded the surrounds slightly to make sure the autumn-away pin position was retained, whereas offering reasonable playability.

At Desert Forest, Lawrence designed primarily within the subject, fully integrating the desert surrounds into his routing. He worked with a single shaper, the bigger-than-life Vernon Ward, who built the course directly into the panorama, transferring little earth apart from construction of tees and greens. Ward, in true tough-and-tumble fashion, died in a barroom brawl shortly after completing Desert Forest.

Desert Forest Golf Club: The Desert Course That Started It All

This is probably going the “weakest” gap in the 6-10 stretch that I admire, but on many courses this might be their greatest gap as a result of visual of the Black Mountain and the clubhouse as you strategy a raised green. This gap performs downhill to a small green for its length sloping away from you but with an attractive view of the Black Mountain behind it. There is a single bunker middle, two on the left and one on the proper. From the 231 Gold tee this is a very difficult hole, from the Black tee it’s merely tough.

  • The greens are constructed of an analogous contouring – again to front sloping and push-up fashion.
  • The tee is barely elevated, which makes hoisting a tee ball toward this green an exercise in choosing thrills over intimidation, especially with the pin in the front sliver among the bunkers.
  • By its very definition, a desert is an inhospitable place with too little precipitation to maintain ordinary lifeforms.
  • Middle tee placements had been shifted again as well, largely by utilizing current tee house.
  • A rear tee was built, lengthening the hole from 206 yards to 231 yards.

A low left part of turf provides forgiveness for shorter drives, while yielding a less desirable angle from which to play one’s second shot. A lengthy tee ball to larger ground is met with considerably narrower turf on a right to left angle. Trees at the end of the lower left part of fairway had been eliminated to facilitate use of this side of the green for these much less capable of surmounting the excessive side.

Palmer, working with small budgets and big concepts, turned to Lawrence ( ), who discovered the craft of golf course design while working as a development foreman for storied Golden Age designer William Flynn . i’ve worked at the Wigwam course in phoenix amongst other programs he has designed. I am playig today at Desert Forest for the first time and look ahead to that. I want Red was here now to show them what a real course should seem like. Club members are still debating whether to overseed with rye and add cart paths. “Two years in the past, we killed all of the grass, we put in a water system, put drainage in the bunkers and then resprigged or replanted final yr with hybrid bermuda grass,” Cromer stated.

Most of the rest, he says, contains “distinctive natural areas” that must be preserved. “We argue that if you want to plant trees in new areas, the semi-arid regions are those to have a look at,” Yakir says. But while the Yatir is probably not an excellent advertisement for forests as climate saviors, Yakir says comparable forests planted on a larger scale in other arid environments might work a lot better for climate. Last year, he and Weizmann colleague Gil Yosef made the case for planting comparable forests within the dry grasslands of the Sahel area of Africa and in northern Australia.

Avocados are very high in fat but does this mean they are a bad thing to eat?? NO they are a rich source of monounsaturated fats which can help reduce ‘bad’ cholesterol, and full of nutrients. They also make a lovely dip…..cut 2 avocados in half and remove skin and stone, put the flesh into a food processor and add the juice of 2 limes, 2 large crushed garlic cloves and a large tea spoon of chilli powder. Process until smooth and add to serving bowl. Mmm……..
