3D Guitar Lessons

Perform3D launches tuition website using Interactive Motion Capture Animation   15-Jul-11

3D Guitar Lessons

iPerform3D have announced the launch of their new website. Here's their press release with all the details...
The new site combines motion capture animation, gaming technology, top shelf guitar instructors and guitar lessons for all skill levels. All lessons and content are available online 24 hours a day, seven days a week providing users the freedom to study, practice and learn at their convenience, wherever they may be. Each lesson walks the student through the learning objective of the lesson, performance notes and how to set up your gear for the right tone. Plus on demand and printable TAB to provide the user every possibly opportunity to succeed.
iPerform3D utilizes their patented MoCap360 motion capture technology, similar to what is used to develop high end games and the latest in cinematic technology. They take it one step further by incorporating 360 degree capture to not only provide lessons in digital 3D but also allow the user to view the lesson from any angle. The students can literally zoom in underneath the picking hand and slow the motion capture down to see exactly how the instructor is playing the piece of music. Or, to help the student better understand the positioning of the fretting hand, the viewer can angle in for a bird's eye view as if they were right there, looking over the teachers shoulder. With the full 3D capture, users can now fully understand the approach, the technique and the method to playing any style of music on the guitar. Viewers can even zoom in from the back and look directly through the guitar leaving no stone unturned. iPerform3D achieves full performance capture by utilizing nearly 100 motion sensors and cameras inside their own state of the art motion capture and sound stage studio.
The streaming guitar lessons featured on the site include mastering basic skills like strumming, fretting and picking that progress into teaching students how to play their favorite hit songs. If a student already has the basics under control, they can chooses from hundreds of lessons on building and playing different guitar riffs, styles, rhythms and solos. Included with the extensive collection of lessons is a library of backing tracks in a variety of styles to help further propel the students into mastering their newly learned skills. Because all of the files are fully digital, the photorealistic imaging maintains its high resolution and the audio stays in pitch regardless of the tempo it is played.
To compliment the new learning platform, iPerform3D sought out the best in guitar education. Leading the way and creating the educational part of the program is Steve Trovato. Trovato is a first call session player in Los Angeles and jazz instructor at the University of Southern California's Thornton School of Music. His guitar playing can be heard on thousands of commercials, movies and recordings around the world. Tariq Akoni tours the world with acts such as Christina Aguilera, Josh Groban, Elton John, Joss Stone and Alicia Keys. When not on the road, he heads the department of guitar studies at the Los Angeles Music Academy. Alongside them, you will also find tutorials from other real working guitarists and instructors like Barbara Leoni, Terry Carter, Andy Abad and Jaco Caraco.
The company was founded by a group of musicians and technologists from diverse backgrounds who set out to change the way learning was achieved. Agreeing that a great teacher is still the best route, they set out to overcome the problems with finding one: time, money, availability, resources and skill level. They created an avatar instructor that provided students all the benefits of a first class instructor and eliminated the inconveniences associated with real one on one instruction. The avatar instructor now is available anytime the students wants; their terms, their schedule, and instructs the material they want to learn at a fraction of the price of an actual lesson. Aspiring students can now learns the styles of John Mayer, Steve Vai, Eddie Van Halen, Sheryl Crow, Eric Clapton and much more without the inconsistencies and road blocks of videos, DVD's, TAB and music notation.
About iPerform3D
iPerform3D is a small, passionate company founded by musicians and technologists from diverse backgrounds. Our mission is far from complete, but we're very excited about the thousands of guitarists who will successfully learn guitar using our patented MoCap360 technology. In the words of one of our users, "This is the best guitar learning tool of the 21st century." We encourage you to give iPerform3D a try, and we hope you enjoy similar success. We also hope that no matter how good you get, you'll keep aspiring to get better, to learn more, and to write your own tunes. Pricing and Availability:

Rev. Gerald “Jerry” L. Essenburg

Rev. Gerald “Jerry” L. Essenburg, age 71, died after a long illness on Thanksgiving Day, November 22, 2012, at Hospice House of the EUP in Sault Ste. Marie, MI.

Jerry was born on April 27, 1941 to Martin and Delia (Elzinga) Essenburg. He was born in Borculo, Michigan, and grew up on a farm. After graduating from Zeeland High School in 1959, he served four years in the U.S. Navy. He felt called to the ministry of the Word while teaching Sunday school and leading a youth group when he was a sailor in Washington, and while visiting missionaries in the Far East. He graduated from Calvin College in 1967 and from Calvin Theological Seminary in 1970.

Jerry was a student pastor at the Friendship House in San Francisco in the summer of 1968 and at the Cedar Rapids (Iowa) CRC in the summer of 1969. He married Janice Borgman in Grand Rapids in 1970. He served as pastor of several churches: Harrison (South Dakota) CRC, 1970-1975; Prairie City (Iowa) CRC, 1975-1983; Rudyard (Michigan) CRC, 1983-1997; and Hancock (Minnesota) CRC, 1997-2001. After 31 years in the ministry, he retired for medical reasons on December 31, 2001.

In his preaching, teaching, and visiting, he emphasized faith in Jesus as Savior and Lord. He especially enjoyed leading discussions in adult Bible study groups and teaching children. He served as a Cadet Club counselor, group leader of a Friendship Bible Class for special education students, Christian school board member, Right to Life board member, volunteer spiritual director at retreats for inmates in a state prison, and member of the Board of Christian Reformed World Missions. He typed the Sunday bulletin in four churches.

He learned to play the piano when he was 38 years old. He also enjoyed reading, playing ping pong, gardening, camping, fishing, swimming, and playing Connect Four.

Inscribed on the monument at his grave is the message which he firmly believed and faithfully proclaimed: “Jesus Saves.” His family and his faith in Jesus were most precious to him.

Jerry is survived by his wife Janice of 42 years; three daughters: Laura (Robert) Postma of Rudyard, MI, Linda (Michael) Hoolsema of Rudyard, MI, and Mary Essenburg along with her fiancé Steven Crumbaugh of Kincheloe, MI; four grandchildren: Tyler and Derek Postma and Austin and Carrie Hoolsema all of Rudyard, MI.; six brothers: Robert (Carol) Essenburg of Grandville, MI., Milton (Gladys) Essenburg of Holland, MI., Arnold (Marilyn) Essenburg of Ann Arbor, MI, Donald (Lois) Essenburg of Jamestown, MI., Richard Essenburg of Borculo, MI, and Clifford (Julie) Essenburg of Muskegon, MI; one sister: Evelyn (Carl) Van Ingen of Zeeland, MI; sister-in-law, Claudia Borgman of Grand Haven, MI; and many nieces, nephews, and friends.

He was preceded in death by his father and mother: Martin and Delia (Elzinga) Essenburg; father-in-law, Peter Borgman; mother-in-law, Ruth (Kuiper) Borgman; and brother-in-law, Richard Borgman.

The funeral will take place at the Rudyard Christian Reformed Church Tuesday, November 27, at 2 p.m. The visitation will be held prior to the service from noon until 2 p.m. Pastor Wendell Davelaar will conduct the funeral. Burial will be in North Rudyard Cemetery.

Anton “Tony” Hornung

Anton H. “Tony” Hornung, age 91, of Bruce Township, Michigan passed away Wednesday morning, November 21, 2012 at War Memorial Hospital.

Tony was born in Cassel Twp., Edgar Wisconsin on July 21, 1921 to Anton K. and Balbena (Wirkus) Hornung. He was raised on a farm outside of Edgar and graduated from Edgar High School. Tony continued his education attending the Marathon Country Normal School for two years and graduated as a country school teacher. He taught a country school for one year near Boscobel, WI, where he taught 26 students. During that time, war was declared after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, so Tony signed up for the U.S. Armed Forces and served 40 months. Most of that time was spent on the Pacific Ocean onboard an Air Craft Carrier. Tony was discharged as a First Class Petty Officer and moved to Detroit, where he worked at Ford Motor Company for six years. This is where he met his wife, Ingeborg Stoffel. They were married on May 15, 1951.

Moving North of Lansing, Tony and Inge opened a motel and grocery for 2 years before moving further north to Barbeau, where they made their home. Channel View Sports Shop was opened and 22 years of business led them to their new enterprise: Tony’s Gun Shop on 15 Mile Rd and M-129. Tony retired 30 years later leaving behind one son: Frank (Marna) Hornung; one grandson: Jeremy Hornung; one granddaughter: Jessica Harring; and two great granddaughters: Jaiden and Michaela. He is also survived by a sister and many nieces and nephews.

Tony was preceded in death by his parents, his wife: Ingeborg Hornung; and four siblings.

A funeral mass will be held at 1 p.m. on Monday, November 26, 2012 at Holy Family Catholic Church with Father Sebastian Kavumkal as celebrant. Friends may call at the church from 10 a.m. until the time of the service. Burial will be at Oaklawn Chapel Gardens.

A Journal

"I'm going to come back to West Virginia when this is over. There's something ancient and deeply-rooted in my soul. I like to think that I have left my ghost up one of those hollows, and I'll never really be able to leave for good until I find it. And I don't want to look for it, because I might find it and have to leave".----Breece D'J Pancake, in a letter to his mother.

Sage Calder Hahn

I am grasping at the black cat
sniffing his own tail on the

front deck.  He’s got eyes like real people
and eats mushrooms that grow in rings.

At night I cannot sleep.

The moon peering over half-trimmed trees,
the undulation supposed to soothe me.

My doctor told me once, to throw salt
over my left shoulder, in a full moon.

It was meant to starve the wart on my right
knee, but I’ve had visions three years since.

A house on fire. A dead bird, which I found on my windshield
the next morning.  Drops of rain pooling in his open beak.

They are plain things.
Thank you doctor.

No, I have not been back there since I can remember.
They say under mushrooms fairies dance.  Maybe

the cat eats those too.

We Were Born

I could not wait any
longer I wrote about
you.  You in your car
singing Sinatra.

Today is my day for
starvation and I eat
one apple, ribbed
mostly green before
sunrise.  In this way

I am God and not
the crow – holy,
resisting desire
to circle the un-
married corpses
of squirrels on
the road.  I

watch the pines
at their tips, the
way nobody can
see them.

In November we
have one weekend.
There is only so

much to say
about wanting
you.  Every

day I think
about your
arms in the
flannel shirts
you buy from
Wal-Mart where

I sometimes
roam the aisles
hoping to run
into your
warmth again
and be nervous.

The halogen does
this to every
body.  Phone

call, 2am you
ask the question
I have been
waiting to be
asked.  When I

answer, you rest
in it, the way I
wish you could rest
in my stomach –
the soft inward
curve of a bowl

made in pottery
class – hand thrown,
my fingers twisting
clay, not knowing

the churn of up and
down.  It is not
something you
will teach me.

I am waiting for
something simple
to come.  I
ask you the name
of the flowers in
your hand, you do

not know them.
Why would you?
Papaver somniferum.
I went to college for
things like this.  I

hoped you would
love me for
leaving, you,

in your car
singing Sinatra, I
could not wait

Each time I think on my favorite souvenir, I think of an old grey sweatshirt I got on family vacation in Rhode Island.  I am choosing it because it has not left my mind, and that seems important.  I wore it through years of deep insecurity and it seems bittersweet that both have since disappeared.

Sage Calder Hahn grew up in rural Northwest Connecticut and currently lives in Boston.  She recently graduated with a Bachelor's Degree from Brandeis University in Creative Writing and English, and currently works as a sex-educator in Brookline.  Her writing has either been featured or is forthcoming in Open Letters Monthly and Tinderbox Poetry Journal.  She reads for the Adroit Journal.

MAC Lustrewhite Lipglass is perfect for all skin tones!

At the last MAC sale I stumbled upon MAC Lustrewhite Lipglass. In the bottle it looks intimating but  after swatching I fell in love!

As you can see from my lips its a clear gloss with minimal shimmer. Gorgeous.

Here is a close up of the gloss.
This Lipglass has the brush applicator! I usually just do one swipe to the top & bottom

The best part of this Lipglass is that it can be put over lipstick for some dimension.

Do you like this Lipglass?

  1. I really like this lipglass because it is not over the top shiny! Although, there are some occasions when I like my lips glossssy! LOL!

  2. I just recently got back into the plain ol clear gloss :)

  3. I really like this gloss... because usually I'm looking for a little extra shimmer to add to my lipsticks and this seems like a great way to get that effect.

    Are you still looking for a guest blogger??

  4. I like this on you. I have several different brands that have this same effect that are totally neglected. I'm inspired to use them. thanks for sharing. :O)

  5. I really love this lipgloss! I need to go get it!

ATTENTION: PLEASE do not leave your own blog URL along with your comment below.. If you do your comment will be deleted. I always check out blogs that comment :) Thanks for the support!

Kakee Peter

Cape Dorset, Nunavut Territory, Canada

(1973- )

Kakee was born in Iqaluit, but moved to Cape Dorset in 1993. He began carving at the age of sixteen, and although he is self-taught, he also learned by watching other carvers. His father, Ningeosiak Peter, and his mother, Parnee Peter are both sculptors in Cape Dorset. Kakee’s grandfather, the late Jamasie Teevee was a well-known graphic artist.

Although he does not carve often, Kakee has created very delicate and imaginative carvings with much attention to detail. His favourite subjects to carve are animals such as birds and whales.

Sri Lanka in SA

Proteas call up De Lange

2011-12-06 17:00
Marchant de Lange (Gallo Images)
Cape Town - Uncapped Titans speedster Marchant de Lange has been included in the Proteas’ squad for the first Test match against Sri Lanka to be played at SuperSport Park from December 15 to 19.

The squad of 13 also sees the return of Alviro Petersen of the Highveld Lions in addition to the 11 players who did duty in the second Test match against Australia at the Wanderers Stadium last month.

The players to drop out of the squad which faced Australia are JP Duminy, Paul Harris and Lonwabo Tsotsobe.

“De Lange has only played 14 first-class matches but he has impressed all with his pace and potential and he took full advantage of his opportunity against Australia for the South Africa A squad,” commented Cricket South Africa (CSA) selection convener Andrew Hudson.

“There is some doubt about whether he will recover in time from his thumb injury but, even if that is the case, he will learn a great deal just from being part of the national squad environment.”

“This squad has been chosen for the first Test match only and it is likely that we may choose a slightly bigger squad for the following two Sunfoil Test matches over the festive period at Sahara Stadium Kingsmead and Sahara Park Newlands.”

Proteas' Test squad: Graeme Smith (Cape Cobras, captain), AB de Villiers (Titans, vice-captain), Hashim Amla (Dolphins), Mark Boucher (Cape Cobras), Marchant de Lange (Titans), Imran Tahir (Dolphins), Jacques Kallis (Cape Cobras), Morne Morkel ( Titans), Alviro Petersen (Highveld Lions), Vernon Philander (Cape Cobras), Ashwell Prince (Warriors), Jacques Rudolph (Titans), Dale Steyn (Cape Cobras).

Week 4 waiver wire

Matt Lutovsky

The top Week 4 waiver wire pickups aren't going to excite most fantasy football owners, but there are few guys, like Branden Oliver, Wendell Smallwood, Jamaal Charles, and Sterling Shepard, who have some sleeper appeal.

Player Updates

  • Ezekiel Elliott (Dal-RB)

    Elliott rushed 22 times for 80 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 28-17 win over the Cardinals. He also caught three of four targets for 14 yards.

    Elliott drew criticism for his poor, eight-yard rushing effort in Week 2, but the star tailback bounced back with nearly 100 yards of offense. Besides a long carry of 30 yards, Elliott's performance was highlighted by his eight-yard touchdown during the fourth quarter. --

  • Dak Prescott (Dal-QB)

    Prescott completed 13 of 18 passes for 183 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 28-17 win over the Cardinals. He also rushed three times for 16 yards and another score.

    Prescott and the Cowboys endured a rough Week 2, but the quarterback rebounded in excellent fashion on the big stage Monday night. After an acrobatic 10-yard touchdown rush to end the first half, Prescott connected with top wideout Dez Bryant to give Dallas the lead midway through the third quarter. --

  • Jose Altuve (Hou-2B)

    Altuve (wrist) sustained a left forearm contusion resulting from a hit-by-pitch Monday against Texas, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    The Astros can breathe a sigh of relief. Consider Altuve day-to-day, as his action could be limited down the stretch with the Astros having already clinched, but he should be easily ready for the playoffs. --

  • Eduardo Nunez (Bos-SS)

    Nunez sustained no additional damage to his knee when he tweaked it Monday night, but he is not expected to play in the remainder of Boston's current series against the Blue Jays, Evan Drellich of CSN New England reports.

    Nunez's cleat got caught in the dirt on a swing, which aggravated the injury that had just cost him two weeks of action. The Red Sox will hope to have him back Thursday against Houston. --

After the storm: Hurricane Andrew ten years later

St. Petersburg Times

August 18: The storm
Hurricane Andrew touched the lives of thousands of people in South Florida. A tiny cul-de-sac is a microcosm of the storm's impact.

The biggest natural disaster in U.S. history touched every homeowner in Florida when insurance companies scrambled to cover losses. Ten 10 years later, the effects can still be felt.

August 19: Building
Andrew did more than devastate South Florida: It exposed dangerous shortcomings in construction and inspection. It took 10 years, but a new statewide building code is finally in place. Some builders, however, say they already have put Andrew's lessons to work.

August 24: The 1921 Storm
Tampa Bay
hasn't been hit by a hurricane for 81 years. The 1921 unnamed hurricane caused millions of dollars of damage, but what would happen today if a similar storm hit the bay area?

It could happen here

And it did, 81 years ago when the Tampa Bay area took a direct hit from a hurricane. Now the region has much more at stake, given booms in population and development.

By DAVID BALLINGRUD, Times Staff Writer
© St. Petersburg Times
published August 24, 2002

The last time a hurricane hit the Tampa Bay area, Florida was in the midst of a land boom. It was 1921, and the combined population of Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco, Citrus and Hernando counties was only 135,000.

If a similar storm hit today, it would lick its wet, windy chops in anticipation.

It would find that more than 2.5-million people had moved in.

It would find barrier islands dredged and filled and sprouting thousands of new homes -- big, fancy ones -- and just a few bridges to give people a chance to run for cover.

It would find a feast of vulnerable mobile homes, 50,000 or so in Pinellas County, another 40,000 in Hillsborough and tens of thousands more in other counties.

The 1921 hurricane was a bad jolt for a growing and optimistic Tampa Bay area. People feared that any bad news might slow growth, discourage investment.

As things turned out, there was little to worry about. Damage caused by the storm was relatively light, the death toll was small, and fears subsided quickly. The population tide continued to rise.

Numerous hurricanes have blown past the bay area since then, many causing severe damage from heavy winds, rain and flooding. That has fooled many people into thinking they have lived through a hurricane here. But none of those storms were anything like the 1921 hurricane.

The same Category 3 storm today would cause more than $13-billion in damage in Pinellas County alone, according to estimates made by David Bilodeau, the county's emergency management director.

A Hurricane Andrew-scale storm in the Tampa Bay area today, Bilodeau said, would cause staggering damage. In Pinellas alone, he estimated, more than a half-million people would be ordered to evacuate, and damage would climb toward $30-billion dollars.

"A lot of people in this area can blow off the lessons of Hurricane Andrew 10 years ago, thinking that storms that come from over the Atlantic are a lot more powerful," Bilodeau said. "But similar things have happened to us. We have a history with big storms here, too."

A storm the size of the 1921 unnamed hurricane would force the evacuation of 430,000 Pinellas residents and damage almost a half-million dwelling units, Bilodeau said. "Those are conservative numbers," he said. "You could perhaps double the damage estimates if you considered the contents of the housing."

Damage to the county's 51,000 boats would add perhaps $600-million to the total.

Larry Gispert, Bilodeau's counterpart in Hillsborough, would not assign a dollar value to the anticipated damage there but agreed it would be huge, especially in the low-lying Interbay Peninsula of South Tampa, where some of the most expensive homes in the Tampa Bay area have been built.

Other parts of Hillsborough are low, too, including Town 'N Country, historic Ybor City, the area around Tampa International Airport and the Ruskin-Apollo Beach area.

Of Hillsborough's 326,309 homes, condominiums and businesses, almost two-thirds would be either destroyed or suffer major damage, he said. Only 22 percent would escape damage altogether.

"The big caveat here is that it's all just an estimate," Gispert said, "but that's what we would expect a major storm with that kind of storm surge to do."

The October 1921 hurricane formed in the western Caribbean, a half-century before the National Weather Service began a formal naming process.

It hit just north of Tampa Bay with winds of more than 100 mph, although there is speculation that it weakened just before landfall. As it moved inland on a northeast heading, its counter-clockwise winds pushed a 10- to 12-foot wall of water into Tampa Bay.

It flooded Pass-a-Grille, destroyed the wooden Casino in Gulfport and damaged the Municipal Pier in St. Petersburg. It carved Caladesi Island from Honeymoon Island, and badly damaged what was then a thriving citrus crop in Pinellas and throughout the state's midsection.

In Tampa, water submerged Bayshore Boulevard, flooding many of the the city's finest homes, washing away sea walls, downing telephone and power lines and rising above the gas lamps that lined the street. A pavilion and bath house at Ballast Point were destroyed, and the Tampa Yacht and Country Club was severely damaged.

The storm passed between St. Leo and Brooksville, then continued across the state and into the Atlantic near New Smyrna Beach. It caused at least six deaths and $1-million to $10-million in damage, 10 times that in today's dollars.

But it didn't do what people most feared it would do.

Florida's open arms

On Oct. 24, 1921, St. Petersburg and Tampa were full of themselves.

Boom fever was spreading.

The country was flooded with money at the end of World War I, and a lot of it was headed for the Sunshine State.

Real estate was hot, hotter, hottest.

In his book St. Petersburg and the Florida Dream, 1888-1950, historian Raymond Arsenault quotes a St. Petersburg Times editorial that pretty well summed up the enthusiasm of the day: "The man who bets against her (St. Petersburg's) progress is taking his chances against the powers of the greatest single force in the universe -- the mighty sun, beacon fire of progress, life and light of the world."

The city's business leaders worried that the storm would somehow tarnish this buffed-up image. But it didn't happen.

"Nothing, it seems, could stop the boom," Arsenault wrote. If anything, the storm seemed to make the image shine even brighter.

"In the weeks following the storm, the city was swamped with curiosity seekers," he wrote, "most of whom went away convinced that the city had emerged from the hurricane almost unscathed."

City officials encouraged this thinking by making hurried repairs to the Pass-a-Grille Bridge and the Municipal Pier. "The weather was beautiful, and the sale of lots was brisker than ever now that St. Petersburg had demonstrated that it was impregnable to the forces of wind and water."

Tampa residents, too, hurried to clear the streets and boasted that street cars were back in service within a day of the storm's passage.

What became a hurricane was first spotted on Oct. 20 as a tropical disturbance in the southwestern Caribbean. The first advisory was issued at 10 a.m. the next day, saying the disturbance's movement was expected to be northward.

The storm moved north-northwest, however, and was a full-blown hurricane by the time it entered the Yucatan Channel on the 24th. Low barometer readings indicated it was a very strong storm.

The major headlines in Tampa Bay area newspapers tell a somewhat inconsistent story, illustrating how much better storm forecasting has become.

Monday, Oct. 24:

Predict Gale This Section

Weather Bureau Forecasters Say Storm Will Come In 24 Hours

Tuesday, Oct. 25:

This headline did not reflect the content of the story, however, which suggested the storm had brushed by Key West into the gulf and had turned toward the Tampa Bay area

Wednesday, Oct. 26:

The first real alarm is reflected in a morning "Extra" in the St. Petersburg Times.

Tropical Storm Sweeps City

Rumor Pass-A-Grille Wiped Out

A second Extra, also published Wednesday, was more measured:

No Lives Lost at Pass-A-Grille

Tropical Storm Sweeps City

In a smaller headline, the Times also chides, perhaps a bit self-consciously, "other publications" for "wild reports" that 90 persons had perished.

Thursday, Oct. 27:

Loss Through Storm Severe, announced the Tampa Morning Tribune. Two Million Loss in Tampa, the newspaper said, but added, Citizens Busy Righting Things After Big Blow.

In St. Petersburg, the Times took a positive tack, too.

Solid Improvements To Be Result Of Hurricane

City Optimistic After The Blow

Deplore False Reports Sent Out To World

Over the next few days, residents made repairs, calculated losses and told stories of good fortune and bad, heroism and tragedy.

From the Tribune: "After clinging all night to a palm tree on the exposed promontory at Rocky Point, J.D. Wilder, aged 70 years, early yesterday saw his wife, aged eighty-five years, swept from his grasp, to her death in the waves. The two had clung to the tree through the long night hours . . . at last the strain was more than the aged man could bear."

Also from the Tribune: "With his 2-year-old baby on his back, Frank James, resident of the Palm River District, swam ashore Tuesday afternoon in the worst part of the storm from his house, a distance estimated at least half a mile."

In the Times: A.R. Dunlap, a veteran Florida newsman and author of a column called The Rambler, told of an unwary citizen in St. Petersburg, who looked up during the storm to see a piece of corrugated sheet metal flapping toward him about neck level like a scythe.

"Through some freak of air current," Dunlap reported, "the wind gave the sheet iron just enough lift to clear his head as it got to him. Knocked off his hat, but could just as easily have taken off his head."

Fruit shippers -- the bay area had a thriving citrus industry then -- hurried to save what they could of their crops, now scattered all over the ground.

"Wagons, automobiles and even wheelbarrows were pressed into service bringing fruit into the packing houses," the Times reported. "Every available fruit car on the railway . . . has been placed at the disposal of the growers, and there is not an idle man in town today."

Not many idle boys, either, as it turned out.

"While schools resumed at 9 o'clock this morning (Friday, Oct. 28), there were very few boys in attendance. Most of these were at work in the groves . . ."

[Special to the Times]
Despite flooding of the 4-year-old Yacht Club at the foot of Central Avenue in St. Petersburg and damage to the Municipal Pier, the city was swamped with “curiosity seekers” after the storm.

photo Officials in Tampa and St. Petersburg worked quickly to clean up destruction, as seen on Palmetto Beach south of Ybor City, so growth would not be hampered.

Doug Lock Quiver – Custom 10 Ft Wood Veneer Stand Up Paddle Surfboard

Wood Veneer Stand Up Paddle Surfboard from Wet Feet Hawaii

Doug shows us his custom 10′ wood veneer stand up paddle surfboard made by Ted Spencer from Australia. The board as you can see doesn’t have an air vent compared to Doug’s other custom-made ones. He explains that the wood veneer has a solid, sandwich-like construction so that the air expanding is the last of his worries on this type of board.

Doug claims that Ted has done something unusual with the board, which he says gives the board bite and make it feel like you’re riding on an edge.

(click thumbnail to launch video)

Evan: Little woodie, huh?

Doug: Little woodie, wood… actually it is foam core. It’s is Styrofoam core.

Evan: This is more of a classic kind of look.

Doug: Yeah kind of a classic look.

Evan: Kind of got a lot of concave going on. That’s what it looks like, huh?

Doug: A lot of concave going on. There’s a pretty pronounced V back here. This board is probably the first stand up surfing board that Ted Spencer made. Ted Spencer is from Australia; former professional surfer and a very talented shaper.

Evan: What do you use this board for then?

Doug: This board is just like – when I feel like really getting in to a good feel, a nice rhythm and a different feel because the…

Evan: More cruising or something or what?

Doug: Actually, you’d be surprised. This board is not a cruiser. It may look like a cruiser but the way Ted made this board, it’s so very free flowing board that just glides. You can do pretty much anything. It has a pretty nice pivot turn, it nose rides really well, it has got a very soft rail. But the funny thing is, and I can’t figure it out…

Evan: This rail is really soft.

Doug: It’s very soft but for some strange reason, and only Ted knows this, is for some weird reason it has bite; it feels like you’re riding on an edge. And I can’t understand and he can’t tell you.

Evan: Maybe it’s this concave.

Doug: It’s something. It’s some transition back here and he is a master craftsman.

Evan: You know what this concave looks like? It looks like a concave on a Jimmy Lewis kiteboard. You know what I mean? It’s like the water skis have it, have this flat, this area that goes flat and then concaves in and flattens out with a softer rail so it sucks water to hold you in… that’s what it looks like.

Jeff: Yeah.

Doug: It has got this really…

Evan: Got kind of a lot of V going on in the back, huh?

Doug: Yeah a lot of V. The turn on it is really interesting. It’s more…

Evan: More smoothy, smooth kind of really wide turns…

Doug: Yeah it’s very smooth but it does this really nice pivot turn that just – I can’t explain. When I first saw the board before I rode it, I looked at it and said, “Oh this rail is too soft and this and that.” When I actually rode it, it blew my mind out.

Evan: What does the top look like?

Doug: Actually all he did was basically, he kind of (____) the deck a little bit but…

Evan: It really looks like wood when you look at it.

Doug: Yeah, it’s just…

Evan: The thing really looks like wood.

Doug: He is the guy for wood veneering here in Hawaii. He’s really good at what he does.

Evan: So this one you just left the pad normal. You didn’t cut it out.

Doug: I didn’t yet. But now that I am feeling this board more I think I’m going to put a deck pad in there.

Evan: Oh you want to figure where it was at.

Doug: Right, right. But I know right back here on the tail it will be fine. But it’s a good reference point. But it’s really different kind of from everything else.

Evan: This is a custom board?

Doug: This is a custom board, yeah.

Evan: So how come on this custom board there’s no more air valve but on the other ones there is?

Doug: Well, the theory was I didn’t want one for mine – just want to try without it. As long as you take care of your boards, you don’t really have to worry too much about the air vent. Mostly, actually when you’re traveling in an airplane but if it’s in a really hot car that’s when you got to worry about it the most. But as far as the air vent… with the wood veneer it’s a sandwich type of construction so you don’t really have to worry too much about the air expanding, contracting; it’s more of solid as a unit.

Evan: Cool

Whether a blog post that got a man fired is constitutionally protected speech or a malicious smear campaign is now up for interpretation by the Minnesota Court of Appeals in a case that has attracted attention from First-Amendment scholars, citizen journalists and free-speech advocates.

Arguments Wednesday came more than a year after a Hennepin County jury said Minneapolis blogger John "Johnny Northside" Hoff owed Jerry Moore $60,000 in damages for a scathing blog post that resulted in Moore's firing from the University of Minnesota.

The jury decided that Hoff told the truth in his post when he accused Moore of being involved in a "high-profile fraudulent mortgage," but found that his actions amounted to actively interfering with Moore's employment contract.

Hoff's attorney, Paul Godfread, appealed the jury award and argued before the three-judge Appeals Court panel Wednesday that regardless of what happened as a result of Hoff's post, he cannot be held liable because it was truthful.

But Moore's attorney, Jill Clark countered that Hoff should be responsible not only for the post but also for comments afterward because he intended for Moore to be fired.

"The motivation was to take Jerry Moore down and the threat was, 'We will do a negative public campaign to do that,'" Clark said. "Nowhere did the jury have to believe they had to use righteous and true statements to do that."

Protected speech, or attack?

The lawsuit stemmed from a feud between Moore, former director of the Jordan Area Community Council in north Minneapolis, and Hoff, a neighborhood activist whose blog, "The Adventures of Johnny Northside," garners hundreds of readers daily.

After Moore's firing from the Jordan Area Community Council, he was hired in 2009 at the U's Urban Research and Outreach/Engagement Center to study mortgage foreclosures.

When Hoff found out, he wrote a post accusing Moore of being involved in a "high-profile fraudulent mortgage," one of several that resulted in a 16-year prison sentence for former real estate agent Larry Maxwell. Moore was not criminally charged in the Maxwell case, although he is currently named as one of several defendants in a lawsuit related to the fraud.

"The collective judgment of decent people in the Jordan neighborhood -- 'decent' being defined as 'not actively involved in mortgage fraud' -- is that Jerry Moore is the last person who should be working on this kind of task, and WHAT THE HELL was the U of M thinking by hiring him," Hoff wrote in the June 21, 2009, post.

Among the comments was a copy of an e-mail sent by another North Side resident and blogger, Don Allen, to the university urging Moore's termination and suggesting that he would publicize Moore's background if his suggestion wasn't met. Moore was fired the next day.

Moore sued Hoff and Allen in 2009. Allen settled before trial and testified against Hoff.

Hennepin County District Judge Denise Reilly upheld the jury's verdict.

During oral arguments, the judges questioned whether encouraging that someone be fired from a job goes beyond free speech.

"Couldn't a jury have looked at Allen's efforts and said, 'At some point that's not free speech anymore?" Judge Louise Dovre Bjorkman asked.

Godfread countered that Allen's communication to the university, like Hoff's blog post, falls under the same protections of the First Amendment.

"Speech followed by more speech cannot lose its protection, simply because there's the possibility of more speech that might follow on the same issue," he said.

Clark argued that the post was more than free speech because it was clear Hoff wanted Moore fired. Bjorkman asked Clark whether that was relevant since Hoff's claim was true.

"When we talk about Jerry Moore, who's just trying to do his job, there should be a different standard," Clark said.

The Appeals Court has 90 days to issue an opinion.

Constructing Forest Roads

Proper drainage is the single most important factor in controlling soil erosion and keeping a road in usable condition.

General Guidelines:

  • Construct only as much road as necessary.
  • If possible, construct, stabilize, and seed in advance of use.
  • Minimize clearing.
  • Keep road width to the minimum necessary to operate safely.
  • In winter, removing leaf cover will allow road to freeze more quickly.
  • Keep blades off the ground when shearing and pushing debris.
  • Minimize earth-moving activities when soils are excessively wet or excessively dry, and before oncoming storms.
  • Place crushed stone on highly erosive sites or when hauling during wet or muddy conditions where necessary.
  • Add geotextile stabilizing fabric under the crushed stone on wet sites where necessary.
  • When using existing roads, reconstruct only to the extent necessary to provide adequate drainage and safety.
  • Construct roads to drain at all times. See Spacing for Drainage Structures for diversion spacing recommendations.
  • Install culverts or other breaks at specified intervals (see Spacing for Drainage Structures) on steep grades where inside ditches are required.
  • Drain water diverting structures and road runoff onto the undisturbed forest floor away from stream channels.
  • Minimize cut and fill work, and keep slopes at stable angles.
  • Maintain an undisturbed buffer strip between forest roads and streams. (See Suggested RMZ Widths).
  • If sufficient buffer strip next to waterways is not possible, use temporary erosion and sediment control practices (e.g. silt fence).
  • Install erosion control measures as road sections are completed.
  • At culvert drain spout, install sufficient energy dissipaters such as brush or riprap where necessary to prevent sediment delivery to the water course.
  • Do not place fill material into open sink holes, waterways, wetlands, floodways, or other sensitive areas.
  • Do not leave felled or cleared material in major stream channels or where it may be washed into a channel during a flood event.
  • Protect the public roadbed and drainage system when accessing public roads. Install a properly sized culvert when necessary.
  • Apply crushed stone to public road access sites if needed to protect the public roadbed and prevent mud buildup.
  • Install an entry gate or barricade to keep potentially damaging and unwanted traffic off of the forest road.

NOTE: The Flood Control Act requires that permanently flowing streams and streams with greater than a square mile watershed and their floodways must be kept clear of debris and fill. Additional federal, state, and local regulations may also apply, such as Federal Emergency Management Agency flood areas. See known regulations.

The Sisters of Saint Dorothy

The Congregation of the Sisters of St. Dorothy’s is an international institution dedicated towards education in a wide sense. The Dorotheans are spread throughout the world in the different places named below.

St. Paula Frassinetti, founded the congregation with a firm basic desire: that of being completely available in God’s hands, that is by evangelizing through education giving preference to youth and the poor.

In the Malta Province our work is mainly Education, this includes the running of three schools, namely two Junior schools and one Senior School.

Parish work and other ministries with the sick and the elderly. Our Charism is to educate at all levels. Spiritual formation is always given priority.

In the United Kingdom the sisters run an International Student's Residence and are actively involved in Parish Ministry.

St. Paula Frassinetti

Paula Frassinetti, foundress of the Sisters of St. Dorothy, was born in Genoa on March 3rd 1809. Paula was the only daughter among four brothers. While helping her brother who was Parish priest in Quinto she felt called to found a religious congregation. On August 12th 1834 She established the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Dorothy, which was initially under the title of “Daughters of Holy Faith”.

The Sisters spread in Rome, Brazil and Portugal until Paula’s death on June 11th 1882. Paula was Beatified on June 8th 1930 and Canonized on March 11th 1984.

Until date St. Paula’s body is intact in the Chapel of the Sisters of St. Dorothy in Rome at Salita S. Onofrio 38.

The Sisters of St. Dorothy in Malta: brief history

The first contact Paola Frassinetti, had with Malta was through the family of Dr. Pasquale Mifsud and his wife, Fortunata nee Pace, who had sent their daughters to the Dorothean school at Sant’Onofrio, in Rome. On November,1877, one of the four daughters was taken seriously ill and the Doctor-Consultant had advised an immediate return to her native air, the only hope of a recovery. Dr. Pasquale, who had hastened to Rome, broke the news to his little daughter. Maria was distressed as she was deeply attached to the Sisters of St. Dorothy. St. Paola, moved by the father’s anguish, sent two sisters to Malta to remain with Maria, until God called her to Him after barely a month had elapsed.

Mons. Alfred Mifsud, one of Dr. Pasquale’s sons repeatedly sent a petition to Rome, asking the Sisters of St. Dorothy to come to Malta.

Owing to the Revolution in Portugal in 1910, the sisters of that Province were exiled and dispersed. Malta was one of the countries to benefit from this anti-religious persecution.

Three Dorothean sisters arrived in Malta in May 1911 Mons Alfredo Mifsud prepared (Palazzo Mangion) for them in Mdina until they were later able to transfer their Convent in Casa Mifsud which Mons Alfredo Mifsud bequeathed to the sisters after his death. Palazzo Santa Sofia was also rented in Mdina to help out with the adequate rooms required to run the school until a larger building on Bastions Street, adjacent to the Cathedral was restored and re-decorated to house the School's increasing intake. Later on Casa Giuritale was also leased and Palazzo Santa Sofia was returned to the owners.

Besides running a Boarding School and a Day School, the Sisters dedicated themselves to the Apostolic Work of St. Dorothy in various Parishes. The Sisters' main apostolic work was mainly with youth and a “Free School” was run, adjacent to their Day School.

In 1958 a Kindergarten was opened in Old College Street Sliema, in a building known as the "Queen's Hall". During the beginning of each Scholastic Year a new intake was accepted, until a new and complete Junior School was built in De Piro Street, Sliema.

In 1968 a community was founded in London, U.K.

In 1978 another community was inaugurated in tal-Virtu’, Malta, since the Government of Malta had ended his contract with renting Palazzo Giuritale which housed most of the Junior School Students. In October 1978 the Junior School was transfered to Tal-Virtu Seminary, where they occupied the Hall Block, as previously known when still functioning as the female Teacher's Training College.

In 1979 another two convents were founded, one in Redhill, Surrey, England and the other in Taiwan, R.O.C., in the Far East.

In 1997 the Junior School moved from Tal- Virtu’ to Zebbug where an entire complex was built on Mdina Road to serve both as a Primary and Secondary School Complex.

In 1998 the Secondary School vacated "Casa De Piro" on Bastion Street and joined the Junior School on their newly built premises in Zebbug.

Until date the Sisters residing in Casa Mifsud still keep their apostolic work with the children of Mdina and day retreats and seminars are held in the same premises. Regular meetings and prayer groups are also held for “The Mamme di Paola”

In 2002 Three Maltese sisters left the Malta Province to found a new community in the Philippines.

In 2006 the two Communities in Taiwan and in the Philippines have branched out of the Malta Province to form their own Region.

Business Problem Solving: How to Keep that Entrepreneurial Tunnel Vision

June 20, 2017 Sample HubSpot User

Focus isn’t easy.

As an entrepreneur, you have a natural urge tugging you toward the next shiny business idea. While your

Business Problem Solving: How to Keep that Entrepreneurial Tunnel Vision

entrepreneurial spirit is excellent, however, and sure to bring you rewards later, you must first focus on the business you’ve already started.

Lack of focus can cause you to lose opportunities – it could even be the demise of your budding business.

So if you find yourself daydreaming about better ideas or jumping from business to business, now is the time to regain your tunnel vision.

The Hard-and-Fast Facts: A Motivator to Keep on Point

Entrepreneurs are critical to the success of today’s economy.

As an entrepreneur, you’re adding to the national income, stabilizing the job market, and adding healthy competition. Furthermore, the Small Business Association says that 99.7% of U.S. employers are small businesses and in 2010, there were 27.9 million small businesses, with 18,000 of them having more than 500 employees.

The survival rate for new small businesses can be discouraging, though – 50% fail in the first five years, and only one-third make it for ten years.

To beat the odds, you need laser focus.

Essential Business Problem Solving: Start with Developing Serious Tunnel Vision

Ready to develop a tunnel vision that keeps you motivated, on track, and successful? Utilize these three tools:

1.  Visualize the Future

The term “visualize” might make you feel as though you’re attending a life improvement seminar, but the idea holds value.

Visualize your objectives in the distance ahead of you. Give yourself attainable goals to move toward – the larger office in the corner, the big, cushy retirement, or whatever makes you stay on top of the business you’re already in.

2.  Deploy the 'One Thing Principle'

The book The One Thing gives us a theory that you can do one thing that will make everything easier.

There’s always one thing – and if you have to create a to-do list to tackle it or devote an entire week to the ‘one thing,’ do it. Stay on the one thing and consider anything that doesn’t contribute to it useless.

3. Stop Second Guessing and Time Wasting

Once you have a strategy, move forward with it. Don't second guess your line of attack and don't deviate from the strategy. Don't shift markets, don't add features to products in development, and don't consider another strategy until you're positive the one you made is going to fail. All the switching back and forth wastes valuable time.

Now is the Time to Deploy Your Entrepreneur Tunnel Vision

Now you know you need just one thing to focus on each day and that you should only perform tasks that take you to that one thing. Stop second guessing and wasting time on ideas and you’ll spend more time on actions rather than reactions.

When you visualize the one thing, move toward it, and only do steps to achieve it, you will regain your focus and ultimately find success

  • Prelude to Epiphany: Fitzgerald in the Trenches January 5, 2011

    Author: Beach Combing | in : Contemporary , trackback

    For Beachcombing a canonical text on the First World War is chapter thirteen of Fitzgerald’s Tender is the Night. Here FSF gets as close as anyone ever has to explaining why European civilisation committed suicide in 1915 and 1916. Dick and his party, including the vapid Rosemary have come to visit the First World War trenches mere years after the end of the conflict.

    This western-front business couldn’t be done again, not for a long time. The young men think they could do it but they couldn’t. They could fight the first Marne again but not this. This took religion and years of plenty and tremendous sureties and the exact relation that existed between the classes. The Russians and Italians weren’t any good on this front. You had to have a whole-souled sentimental equipment going back further than you could remember. You had to remember Christmas, and postcards of the Crown Prince and his fiancée, and little cafés in Valence and beer gardens in Unter den Linden and weddings at the mairie, and going to the Derby, and your grandfather’s whiskers.’

    ‘General Grant invented this kind of battle at Petersburg in sixty- five.’

    ‘No, he didn’t — he just invented mass butchery. This kind of battle was invented by Lewis Carroll and Jules Verne and whoever wrote Undine, and country deacons bowling and marraines in Marseilles and girls seduced in the back lanes of Wurtemburg and Westphalia. Why, this was a love battle — there was a century of middle-class love spent here. This was the last love battle.’

    Suicide then, but suicide with incense burning…

    Beachcombing can’t offer this is as a WIBT moment given that it is fictional. But he will offer it as an introduction to a gift that he intends to give the WWW for epiphany.

    This Christmas there came tumbling into Beachcombing’s hands a book on the First World War from 1915, a book that is both poignant and, bizarrely, hilarious by turns. Beachcombing has spent the last hour typing said book out – it is short, 3000 words – and with greater difficulty has scanned its extraordinary pictures into his dandy computer. The result is Dick’s love battle as Beachcombing never hoped to see it, up close and personal.

    It is also a text that only the British could have written: hints of the Edwardian master race, pontificating about animals rights amidst Armageddon and a deliberately lame if irresistible (at least to Beachcombing) sense of humour.

    Tune in this time tomorrow. Beachcombing promises a walk on the wild side, 1915 style.

Truck Front Collisions Can Be Fatal

by admin | August 5th, 2015

Accident Between A Car And A TruckAny time a large, 80,000 pound commercial truck collides with a small passenger vehicle, the resulting injuries can be catastrophic. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that nearly 100,000 individuals suffered injuries in commercial truck accidents in a single year in 2013. One particularly dangerous type of truck accident is a forward collision, wherein a large semi-truck collides into the back of a vehicle driving in front of the truck. Forward collisions can result in severe and often fatal injuries to occupants of the front vehicle.

Man Injured As the Result of a Police Pursuit

by Thomas Stroble | February 16th, 2014

Scott DavidsonMany times, an accident injures someone who wasn’t  to blame. This is particularly troubling when it was a criminal who was at fault.  When you or someone you know was injured it makes such an event even more troubling.  Having good legal help in such an instance is never more important than when your health depends upon it.

Running from the police is never a good idea.  Fleeing from authorities can often cause injuries in others. Such was the case of a 76-year-old man who was critically injured in a recent incident.   A suspect was fleeing the Michigan State Police … Read More

Marcus PoveyWhen an accident is especially complicated, it can take a long time for a final settlement to come about. All sides want to make sure that the right verdict is reached, but we recognize that the waiting can be tough. One family is waiting for a lawsuit to go forward about a multi-car pileup that took the lives of two children and left a third with brain injuries.
