John was seen using the amp during a televised gig played on June 19, 2004 (video below). Based on the footage, the amp could be a K&M Jade model (which was in production around that time according to A List of Two-Rock Production Models from the K&M-Era) but it's really really hard to tell anything for sure.
If you have knowledge of these early Two Rock combo amps and happen to recognize the one on the video, be sure to get in, touch. Until we manage to identify it, the amp will simply be listed as a "Two Rock Combo".

THE INTERNATIONAL CONSEQUENCES OF PROHIBITION.
The people of the United States like cocaine and heroin. Consequently, entrepreneurs in Latin America produce cocaine and heroin. However, the government of the United States has determined that the people of the United States should be prohibited from using cocaine and heroin. In spite of this prohibition, Latin American entrepreneurs continue to deliver product to customers in the United States. Because the United States is larger and more powerful than its Latin American neighbors, it can force the latter to adopt policies of prohibition and interdiction. These policies result in extraordinarily high levels of violence, social disintegration, economic turmoil, and a loss of state capacity:
Worst of all, the sheer size of the black economy–$40 billion as estimated by Stratfor's George Friedman–strangles legitimate enterprise and concentrates power in the hands of a few narco-warlords. These criminal enterprises amass power and legitimacy as the Mexican state loses the trust of its citizens. As a result, Mexico's periphery has become a lawless wasteland controlled largely by the drug cartels, but the disorder is rapidly spreading into the interior. In a cruel parody of the "ink-blot" strategy employed by counterinsurgents in Iraq, ungoverned spaces controlled by insurgents multiply as the territorial fabric of the Mexican state continues to dissolve.
President Felipe Calderon has tried to stem the bleeding by unleashing the military and federal police on the narco-gangs. But the cartels responded in kind by massively targeting police officers and innocent civilians. They are waging a war of attrition to force the Mexican state to cease re-asserting its power. Sadly, the cartels are winning. Criminal violence continues in the borderlands, and high-ranking federal officials have been killed without meaningful government response. As the head of Mexican intelligence service CISEN admitted to reporters, the cartels pose a threat to Mexican national security.
If this all seems silly and ridiculous, it's because it is silly and ridiculous. Lots of Mexicans get to die for the purpose of a marginal increase in the street price of cocaine and heroin. The problem is clear, and the solution painfully obvious.

The U.S. will not tolerate foreign interference in its elections. That's the message in President Trump's recent executive order and reaffirmed by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
"Elections are the foundation of our democracy, and preserving their integrity is a matter of protecting sovereignty and American national security," Pompeo said September 14.
The new order (EO 13848) authorizes mandatory sanctions on foreign individuals or governments who interfere in U.S. elections and sow disinformation in the media and online.
"Those who interfere with our liberties will pay a price," Pompeo said.


In 2007 I went on the Apprentice, and I won, and I worked for Alan Sugar doing commercial property management for three years. When you're running around working day and night working for Lord Sugar you don't really want to be rubbing your eyes or have lenses falling out so it certainly helped on that front, the fact that I had my eyes lasered. The 'wow' factor I guess was immediate, it was fantastic. I noticed the benefits of the treatment pretty much straight away as I walked out of the treatment room I was kind of looking around in disbelief that everything was clear straight away and the benefits were accrued from then on. I live a fast paced life, I'm often trying to be in lots of different places at once and the last thing I want to be doing is messing around with lenses or glasses in the morning or in the afternoon if one of them falls out or if my eye gets irritated etc. So one of the major benefits of having the treatment for me is it's freed up a little bit of my day in my diary, it allows me to focus on the things that are more important to me.
Simon Ambrose, Winner of The Apprentice 2007, had LASEK laser eye treatment in Jul, 2004. Treated by Dr Almasri at Optimax London Laser Eye Surgery Clinic.

The US is more dominant globally than at any point since the Clinton era, with growth almost 2 times the Eurozone and 4 times Japan, and unemployment the lowest in 7 years. European businessmen are concerned with American dominance from technology to entertainment to finance. America's big banks are more dominant than ever.
WSJ says JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley have increased their total value by $254.6 billion in the last 5 years versus $9.5 billion total increased value for Barclays, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, UBS and RBS.
Japan is the poster child for economic stagnation and political paralysis.
Every Western country is experiencing greater anti-immigrant feeling.
We should not interfere in Syria.
The most serious place in politics remains the center because that is where the majority is.
Iran will accept the nuclear deal because Rouhani is the most popular figure there and Khamenei would not want to dash the people's enormous sense of hope and expectation.
Ruchir Sharma at Morgan Stanley said:
The US has emerged from the 2008 crisis better than anyone, has reduced its debt more than Europe, and has outperformed all other equity markets. 9 of the 10 most valuable companies in the world are US. The US dollar is the currency of choice.
China's debt is at extremely dangerous levels.
David Frum at the Atlantic said:
There is no end to the huge migration of people from all over the world. Migration in moderation could strengthen Europe but it is not happening in moderation and will transform Europe.
You cannot neatly distinguish between refugees fleeing for their lives and immigrants fleeing for better opportunities. You cannot screen out the danger to Europe because it has come from the second generation and from radicalization caused by unemployment, alienation and the inability to assimilate.
Germany's decision on migrants was emotional, not thought through and has unanticipated consequences.
Europe has had very bad experiences with migrants: migrants have much higher levels of long-term unemployment, much more dependency on the state, and European prisons have a disproportion of second generation migrants.
European governments owe their first duty to their own citizens.
Danielle Pietka at the American Enterprise Institute said:
Western Europe must help the migrants, and Merkel has done the right thing, but there needs to be EU wide to make sure the people passing the screening are not shoved in voiliers in Paris or Saudi-run mosques in Hamburg.
Russia believes the US is not going to do anything over their involvement with Syria and are there to help Assad.
Letting hundreds of thousands of Syrians fight and kill each other is unconscionable, especially for the most powerful and richest country in the world.
David Milband at the International Rescue Committee said:
It is harder to get to the United States as a refugee than under any other program.
Employment for refugees up to 5 years is higher than for the rest of the population.
Merkel is responding to the reality that 350,000 refugees had already arrived this year and that the best way to get a burden sharing arrangement was to take the lead.
Migrants should not be confused with refugees, who have a well-founded fear of persecution and a right to international law.
The danger is that Britain thinks Russia is a declining power and Russia thinks Britain is a declining power.
Russia's elevated support for Assad is a sign of his weakened position from a year ago. Russia could pull the rug from under Assad because he has become a problem for Russian concern over Islamic radicalism emanating from Syria.
In the solution for Lebanon, every community had a stake in government, which is impossible for Syria at the moment.
Thomas Erdbrink at the New York Times said:
It is getting harder to figure what Iran's leaders want and which direction the country is heading.
Iran feels it was taken to the cleaners by the nuclear deal but will accept it. The bigger issue for them is whether or not to cooperate with the US in the region. Iran is the only stable state in a divided and troubled Middle East and a weakened Saudi Arabia.
Karim Sadjadpour at the Carnegie Endowment said:
Both Iranian supporters and the opponents of the nuclear deal believe their supreme leader agrees with their position. In the end, Iran will accept the nuclear deal because Khamenei does not want to stand between Iranians and economic deliverance.
Khamenei's MO is to wield power without accountability and have a president with accountability but without power, so he will blame Rouhani when popular expectations of the deal are not met. Khamenei has emasculated Iran's previous 4 presidents.
Gillian Tett at the Financial Times said:
Despite living in a hyper-connected world, we are as fragmented, if not more so, than ever before. We fool ourselves into thinking we are no longer captive to our social and cultural rules anymore, but we are.
Hyper specialization produces people who cannot see opportunities or risks.
Sony is an example of a company filled with bright individuals who did some really dumb things. Different departments did not collaborate with each other and instead cannibalized each other. The result is we now carry iPods and not digital Walkmans.
Every company says it wants employees to think outside the box yet almost every company deepens and makes those boxes more rigid. In the name of streamlining everything, companies eliminate opportunities for employees to stop, think, roam mentally or collide with each other. Facebook deliberately moves employees around and recognizes that a box or a boundary can also be dangerous without stepping back to think about the social structure created.
Having a background in cultural anthropology helps make sense of how modern companies or modern institutions exist.

I called the emergency maintenance line and Steve came to our rescue. Just sending a thank you for managing a great team of people. He worked quickly, let us know the problem (a drain was clogged), and even cleaned off our vent. He was here for maybe ten minutes total and it was so nice when the AC finally turned back on.

James Coleman, a socio-psychologist, earned his Doctorate at Columbia University, trained under the tutelage of the "Frankfurt School" Transformational Marxist Paul Lazarsfeld. He wrote Equality of Opportunity in 1966. It was used by the Supreme Court to help them solve educational issue. His books have had a major influence in our society, so a look at them is essential if we are to have an understanding of what has happened to our educational system. Our highest court has turned to men such as James Coleman for information and advice on re-education. Coleman's teacher was Paul Lazarsfeld, a Transformational Marxist (who merge Marx and Freud), i.e. a member of the Frankfurt School. The bussing issue (James Coleman, Equality of Opportunity), for example, as all educational issues resolved by the supreme court from the 50's on, was not to help the lower class children to become middle class adults, it was, under cover, actually an effort to destroy the middle class home through an artificially created and sustained adolescent society (generation gap) by the public school system (James Coleman, The Adolescent Society). To produce class consciousness (the "right" of the child, i.e. of man's carnal nature without Godly restraint) between traditional and transformational paradigms (between parents and children, i.e. between the Patriarchal and Heresiarchal paradigms), using "the race issue" as a cover.
"In the traditional society each child is at the mercy of his parents. The 'natural processes' by which they socialize him makes him a replica of them." (James Coleman, The Adolescent Society The procedure was to start with the child, i.e., with the "positive," i.e., with the child's feelings and thoughts, i.e., with the process of dialoguing opinions, rather than with the father's authority, i.e. with the "negative," i.e., with the preaching and teaching of commands and rules to be obeyed and facts and truth to be accepted as is, i.e. by faith. "Thinking through the process it is dialectically faulty to start with the negative, with anxiety [with the parent's or God's authority and commands]. The problem is to name the dynamic factor provoking anxiety to emerge [the "intrusive" command of the father]. Anxiety is a function of spontaneity [the child's carnal nature seeking 'liberation' from the father's authority]. Spontaneity can be defined as the adequate response to a new situation, or the novel response to an old situation. With decrease of spontaneity anxiety increases [when you realize you can't have your carnal way, anxiety rises up to set you up against that which restrains or blocks you]. With entire lose of spontaneity anxiety reaches its maximum, the point of panic [revolution]." (J. L. Moreno, Who Shall Survive) As Coleman put it: "Common public judgments" must triumph over "'private' points of view." (James Coleman, The Adolescent Society) The idea being: why not negate the father's authority it in the classroom (through "education," i.e., through psychoanalysis) instead of in the streets (through violence).
In 1957 Coleman wrote Community Conflict, a book on how conflicts arise in communities and how to control them in favor of a particular (socialist) outcome. Controversies in a community, says Coleman, need "(1) the existence in the community of a few extreme activists, who gain moral support, and sometimes information, leaflets, etc., from national sources; (2) the existence of a national climate of fear and suspicion concerning internal subversion; (3) the lack of close and continued relations between school administration and community organizations representing conservative as well as liberal segments of the population." If any one of these is missing, controversy will be modified and controllable.
Without directly admitting that 'progressive education' is tantamount to Communism, Coleman writes "In school controversies, the issue of Communist subversion in the schools is one-sided; as long as it occupies the attention of the community, it is to the advantage of school critics. In contrast, the issue 'progressive education vs. traditional education' offers not differential advantage to either side (unless, of course, progressive education can be identified by its opponents as 'Communistic')…" Coleman equated the strong mayor-council form of government as "dictatorial control (whether benevolent or tyrannical)" in favor of his "democratic" style of government-transformational Marxism.
From the classroom (The Adolescent Society) to the school system itself (Public School-Private School) to politics (Equality of Opportunity), James Coleman, a student of transformational Marxist Kurt Lewin and Ralph Tyler, has played a major role in the restructuring of America, bringing it into the New World Order.
In his book The Adolescent Society, a book by the way which Benjamin Bloom uses to build his educational Taxonomies (Cognitive and Affective), Coleman writes: "In the traditional society each child is at the mercy of his parents. The 'natural processes' by which they socialize him makes him a replica of them." "Strengthening the family to draw the adolescent back into it faces serious problems, as well as some questions about its desirability." "Equality of Opportunity becomes ever greater with the weakening of family power." "Rather than bringing the father back to play with his son, this strategy would recognize that society has changed, and attempt to improve those institutions designed to educate the adolescent toward adulthood." "In order to [improve those institutions], one must know how adolescent societies function, and beyond that, how their directions may be changed." "The family has little to offer the child in the way of training for his place in the community."
In Public School-Private School, Coleman writes: "Public schools represent an orientation that sees the school as an instrument of the society to free the child from constraints imposed by accident of birth." Coleman "sees schools as society's instrument for releasing a child from the blinders imposed by accident of birth into this family or that family." "Schools transcend the limitations of the parents' disparate [different, dissimilar, diverse] cultural backgrounds." "They have been a major element in social mobility, freeing children from the poverty of their parents and the low status of their social origins. They have been means of stripping away identities of ethnicity and social origin and implanting a common American identity." "The young are seriously at risk because of the decline in strength of the family and those institutions that spring from it. It is important that government policy by made in full recognition of this risk and of potential ways of reducing it." [A National At Risk].
The reason children are at risk today, according to Coleman's reasoning, is because they are still under the influence of traditional-minded parents and teachers who "isolating" their children from the "community." "Social capital" is missing in the home with parent's still 1) preaching commands and rules to be obeyed as give and teaching facts and truth to be accepted as is (by faith), 2) blessing or rewarding the children who do what is right or obey, 3) chastening or correcting the child who does things wrong or disobeys, discussing (at the parent's discretion) what the child did or might do wrong or clarifying any questions that he might have, and 4) casting out the child who challenges his commands and rules and questions his facts and truth, disrespecting his authority. Not until the parent's 'change' their way of communicating with their children, dialoguing their opinions with their children and allowing their children to dialogue their opinions with them, 'liberated' from parental authority, to a consensus, i.e., to a "feelings" of oneness, will social capital become a part of the home (and community). Until then, the parent's, with governmental, i.e., psychological assistance, will need counseling, until they come into compliance—what the "Health Care Package" is all about. "In Loco Parentis" takes on a whole new meaning in James Coleman's vocabulary, with the family (and parent's) finding their identity in the "community," instead of the "community" being influenced by them, i.e., by their commands, rules, facts, and truth.
Coleman's values are not traditional but rather transformational. Equality of Opportunity, Social Class, and Social Mobility were the concerns of his mentor, Ralph Tyler. These are the goals of transformational Outcome Based Education, the Outcome being a socialist society—transformational Marxism on a global scale. To achieve the goals of globalism (universalism) the parent's standards and authority (which divide the children of the "community") must be superseded by what all children have in common, their own personal "self interest," engendered from the 'immediate' situation at hand, i.e. their natural inclination to approach pleasure, including the pleasure of approval from others (who approve of what they are having pleasure in). In loco parentis simple means that the learning environment is subjugated to the parent's interest, I.e. their parochial or religious interest, which restrain or block the child's self interest, preventing social 'change,' i.e. community-global unity. Only by identifying those associations parent's have with those outside the family, i.e. crossing (transcending, i.e. compromising) their principles of restraint (which they hold their children to) can community become a reality. Coleman knew that education (the classroom) provided this arena of exchange which could be used to liberate' the children from the standards and values of their parents by "helping" them 'discover' what they all have in common, i.e. their love of pleasure, including the pleasure of approval from others and their hate of restraint, including standards and principles which inhibit or block them from having relationship with those they find pleasure in being around (associating with).
Coleman worked hard to identify how a traditional-minded community seeks to protect its values. He is instrumental in helping to identify forces of resistance and methods of neutralizing them. So when his protégées (facilitators) come up to you, smiling and saying, "Trust us we are here to help you," beware, your freedom is at risk.
"the schools as a means of emancipation from the family"
"releasing a child from the blinders imposed by [the] family."
"Public schools represent an orientation that sees the school as an instrument of the society to free the child from constraints imposed by accident of birth." "Private schools represent an orientation that sees the school as an agent not of the society but of the family, with authority vested in loco parentis, an extension of the parent's will, but with greater resources."
1. The first sees the school not directly as an agent of the family but rather as an agent of the religious community of which the family is a part. The school is an institution of this community, the family is a part of the community, and the child attends the school as a part of this functional community.
2. The second, the orientation on which independent private schools are based, sees the school as the direct agent of the family in a very individualistic sense.
2. The school as agent of the community; religion is not intrinsic to the orientation; the school is an outgrowth not of the individual family, but of a community of families.
3. The school as an agent of the individual family. If the school does not meet expectations, [parents] attempt to intervene, or more likely, move the child to another school.
Two orientations have created a dilemma for educational policy. A direct confrontation of these orientations can be a step toward resolving the dilemma in a way that will benefit America and its children.
The first orientation sees schools as society's instrument for releasing a child from the blinders imposed by accident of birth into this family or that family. Schools transcend the limitations of the parent's disparate [different, dissimilar, diverse] cultural backgrounds. They have been a major element in social mobility, freeing children from the poverty of their parents and the low status of their social origins. They have been means of stripping away identities of ethnicity and social origin and implanting a common American identity.
The second orientation to schooling sees a school as an extension of the family, reinforcing the family's values. The school is in loco parentis, vested with the authority of the parent to carry out the parent's will. The school is, in this orientation, an efficient means for transmitting the culture of the community from the older generation to the younger. It helps create the next generation in the image of the preceding one.
When the community is an extension of the family, when the society is a homogeneous nation that is an extension of the communities within it, and when the state expresses the aims of the homogeneous nation, then these two orientations coincide for most families. But when one or more of these conditions does not hold, a conflict arises.
Southern white dominated, segregationalist [families and communities] conflict with the egalitarian, color blind orientations of the nation as a whole.
In the late 1960's was a period of great value conflict between the dominant traditional values of the generation in control and values extolling freedom for youth and release from the narrow views of the past.
In the 1970's and 1980's, a number of conservative Christian schools and evangelical Christian schools have been established by parents concerned about the values transmitted by the public schools, secular and in opposition to Christian virtues as they perceive them.
These schools represent attempts to recreate a cultural and value homogeneity for the children that insulates them from the values which permeate the larger society. These examples of conflict between the functioning family and the schools as a means of emancipation from the family shows the diverse setting in which the conflict arises, as well as its fundamental character.
If private sector policies have an impact on survival in college, it is more through the academic preparation they provide and study habits they inculcate than it is to shaping behavior patterns.
Success in work is also related to grades in high school but is more highly related to discipline related behavior than is survival in college.
2. the kinds of social structures in which family and school are embedded.
WARNING: HOW EVERYONE IS TO BE ASSESSED!
Physical capital is created by working with materials to create tools that facilitate production . . . can include human capital.
Human capital is created by working with persons to produce in them skills and capabilities that make them more productive. Schools constitute a central institution for the creation of human capital.
Social capital exists in the relations between persons. Trust is a form of social capital.
The social capital of the family is the relations between children and parents.
It is irrelevant to the child's educational growth that the parent has a great deal, or a small amount of human capital, if the human capital possessed by parents is not complemented by social capital.
It is the absence of social capital within the family that we have labeled 'deficiencies' in the family .
single parent families and families in which the mother worked before the child entered elementary school.
The nuclear family itself can be seen as structurally deficient, lacking the social capital which comes with the presence of grandparents or aunts and uncles in or near the household.
Functional deficiency in the family is the absence of strong relations between children and parents despite their physical presence in the household and opportunity for strong relations. The child does not profit from [the parents' human capital] because the social capital is missing.
The social capital that has value for a young person's development does not reside merely in the set of common values held by parents who choose to send their children to the same private school.
Social capital resides in the functional community.
the actual social relationships that exist among parents and in their relations with the institutions of the community.
Part of that social capital is the norms that develop in communities with a high degree of closure.

. . . when students relate with one another in school and the parents are not in a position to discuss their children's activities, to develop common evaluations of these activities, and to exercise sanctions that guide and constrain these activities.
It is the absence of intergenerational closure that prevents the human capital that exists among the adults from playing any role in the lives of the youth.
This lack of intergenerational closure constitutes missing social capital.
everyday contacts were largely with neighbors.
But neither in most modern public schools nor in most nonreligiously based private schools does that intergenerational closure now exist.
The evidence presented in this book indicates that the absence of this social capital represents a real resource loss for young persons growing up.
Physical capital is ordinarily a private good--proper rights.
Human capital, produced in schools, reaps its benefits, in the form of higher paying jobs, more satisfying or higher work status, or even the pleasure of greater understanding of the surrounding world.
Social capital as a public good.
Social capital that does not exist for physical capital and human capital threatens the social, psychological, and cognitive growth of young persons in the United States and, indeed, throughout Western society.
The decision to move from a community may be entirely correct from the point of view of [a] family, but because social capital consists of relations between persons, other persons may experience extensive losses by the severance of those relations, a severance over which they had not control . . . [ie.] the weakening of norms and sanctions that aid the school in its task.
For each family, the total cost it experiences as a consequence of the decisions it and other families make may outweigh the benefits of those few decisions it has control over.

social capital is particularly valuable for young persons from families in which the social capital or the human capital of the parents is especially weak.
students from disadvantaged backgrounds, and perhaps those from deficient families, would do less well in schools surrounded by strong functional communities.
'Expectation theory' or its close relative in sociology, 'labeling theory,' asserts that persons live up or down to others' expectations of them or to the labels attached to them by others.
According to this theory and research, higher expectations and standards will be held by teachers for those students from families with high status, while those students from low status families will be stigmatized with the reputations of their parents, low expectations for their achievement will be held by teachers, and adult members of the community outside the school will treat them differently.
The best know of these is Elmstown's Youth (Hollingshead 1949), based on research in a small Illinois town.

Given the changes that have reduced the social capital outside the school, what can be done to increase the social capital available to children?

The young are seriously at risk because of the decline in strength of the family and those institutions that spring from it.

THERE'S NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO REVIEW YOUR FINAL SALARY PENSION… TRANSFER VALUES DEPEND ON INTEREST RATES… AND THE LOWER THE INTEREST RATE THE HIGHER THE TRANSFER VALUE!
With a final salary pension, there is no pension 'pot': the income you receive in retirement will be calculated using a complex formula which takes account of your salary at time of leaving the scheme, how long you've been a member, plus other factors too.
They used to be considered 'gold plated' pensions, but is this still the case? The majority of schemes are underfunded; a number are likely to go 'bust' in the near future. If that happens to your scheme, then the Pension Protection Fund will take over and your benefits will likely reduce.
Your family cannot inherit your final salary pension. With a final salary pension, on first death the income payment is typically halved for the surviving spouse. On second death, the income ceases completely, leaving nothing for your children.
With a money purchase pension you leave the pot behind. Whatever is left after you have made withdrawals will be available to your spouse, then your children, then their children, until the pot is gone.
A person with a final salary pension due to pay out £50k per year may be entitled to a transfer value of £1m to move to a personal pension.
Option a) stick with the final salary pension.
50k reduces to £25k on first death then reduces to nothing on second death. 100% loss!
Option b) Transfer to personal pension.
£1m pot can be inherited by spouse on first death and also inherited by children on second death.
It seems an obvious choice, but there can be risks in transferring your final salary pension into a personal pension too. Could your 'pot' run out? Or maybe a move won't fit with your attitude to investment risk? It's vital you feel fully informed when you're making such an important decision.
That's where we can help: simply call us today and talk to one of our pension experts.


I have always referred to myself as being both "introverted and extroverted" because I can't fully "identify" with either. Extroverts are described as being fueled by the presence of people and feel more alive when socializing. Introverts, however, feel drained from too much socializing and need to retreat inward to feel their best. That said nobody is ever fully on either side of the spectrum.
It wasn't until recently when I was listening to the podcast Alchemy With Ambi and her episode "Introvert, Extrovert or Ambivert?" that I learned the term "Ambivert". Ambivert is defined as "a person whose personality has a balance of extrovert and introvert features." I was so surprised I had never heard anyone use this term before to describe how so many people feel.
One of the aspects of Ambiverts that I connect to significantly, is that sometimes I can be introverted or extroverted depending on the environment that I am in. When I feel comfortable in the space that I am in, I can be fully extroverted, very outgoing, and feel totally energized by those around me. When I enter an environment that I don't totally vibe with, my introverted side really comes out and I can become quite shy.
Another thing in Ambi's episode that I really resonated with is that Ambiverts struggle with finding a balance between both sides of their personality. To give in an example, I do something in my life that I describe as "binge socializing." When I am going through a binge period it can last for a couple days or even a week where my extroverted side is in full swing and I am saying yes to all things social! What tends to happen as a result of a "social binge", is that I become completely burnt out and I don't want to see or talk to people for days or even weeks. The social exhaustion paired with the need to turn inward makes me feel lonely and directionless. I am working to find balance in the vicious cycle which is one of the challenges of being an ambivert.
Knowing that I am an Ambivert helps so much because I can define these different cycles and focus on how I feel in different environments. I find it so fascinating to see how this awareness can lead to a further extension and personification of the self. To learn more about ambiversion listen to Ambi's podcast episode along with this article.


This article appeared Monday, March 15 in The Birmingham News.
Another Selection Sunday came and went without Greg Gumbel naming Alabama, Auburn or UAB. It's becoming a tradition.
NCAA Tournament purgatory, meet the state of Alabama.
This football- mad state with nine Division I basketball teams has never endured a March Madness drought like the one it's experiencing now. For the second time in four years, the state isn't represented in the NCAA Tournament.
The past four years coincides with the Big Three -- Alabama, Auburn and UAB -- each missing the tournament. That's the longest absence for all three in their Division I histories, surpassing their three-year drought from 1996 to '98. Alabama State and South Alabama are the only state teams that have made the tournament in the past four years.
College basketball in Alabama "is as bad as I've seen it," said SEC television analyst Joe Dean Jr., who moved to Birmingham in 1983. "It's one of two things. Either the coaching is bad, or the players aren't good enough."
This drought follows a period from 2003 to '06 when four state teams received bids. Back then, Alabama put more teams in the bracket those years than every state except North Carolina, Pennsylvania and California, and tied for fourth with Texas.
Two of the state's Big Three participated every year. Auburn reached the Sweet 16 in 2003 and nearly defeated national champion Syracuse. Alabama went to the Elite Eight in 2004, just as UAB reached the Sweet 16. UAB also grabbed a win in 2005.
The next time this state wins an NCAA Tournament game will be its first since the Crimson Tide's firstround victory over Marquette on March 16, 2006. Teams from 29 states, plus Washington D.C., have won a tournament game since then, including 18 wins from neighboring Tennessee.
Dean said college basketball coaches in Alabama must do a better job promoting the sport. He recalled how Dale Brown, upon becoming LSU's coach in 1972, drove across the state of Louisiana and stopped at every home with a basketball hoop to give the family a purple-and-gold net.
"You have to think outside the box in Alabama," Dean said. "They're not going to come to you just because you're a prominent university in this state."
High school prospects continue to leave Alabama. This year, K.T. Harrell of Brewbaker Tech -- the No. 35 prospect in the country -- is headed to Virginia, and the No. 144 player, Ralston Turner of Muscle Shoals, is going to LSU.
Nine of the past 12 top-50 recruits from Alabama have left the state: D.J. White (Indiana), Mike Williams (Texas), Walter Sharpe (Mississippi State), Stanley Robinson (Connecticut), Xavier Gibson (Florida State), DeMarcus Cousins (Kentucky), Eric Bledsoe (Kentucky), Christian Watford (Indiana) and Harrell. JaMychal Green, Richard Hendrix and Ronald Steele stayed in-state by joining the Crimson Tide.
"You look at this state in recent years, and you probably could have won a national championship if you kept all these kids at home," said Huntsville's J.O. Johnson High School coach Maurice Ford, who coached Bledsoe at Parker last year.
Ford said a big reason Bledsoe left was to get more publicity than he could get in Alabama.
"I read the paper in the middle of basketball season and they're talking about sophomores who visit Alabama's football A-Day," Ford said. "If you're a top-notch basketball player, you're never going to get the (attention) you should get."
Ford said some Alabama high school coaches have been frustrated by minimal presence from the state's college head coaches in recent years. Former Auburn coach Jeff Lebo never visited Parker to watch Bledsoe, who was initially an underthe- radar recruit, according to Ford.
"At least act like you want the kid," Ford said. "Come to my school when I don't have a player. Don't just come when I have a bigtime player. I may not have a star today, but somewhere down the line there's going to be another one that comes through."
One in-state target still available this year is Lee-Huntsville's Josh Langford, once a Louisville commitment. Last month, he said he was considering Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, Marquette, Clemson, West Virginia, Georgetown, Illinois and Tulane.
"Some (in-state) guys say they want to go to "the league" and they can't get noticed in Alabama so they go off somewhere," Langford said. "That's what Cousins thought. I think you can get noticed anywhere. Home is good."
Perhaps. But home became quiet again this March.
The state of Alabama tossed another air ball.

The first case of phenytoin intoxication associated with the concomitant use of phenytoin and TS-1, a combination preparation of tegafur, gimeracil, and oteracil potassium
Aiko Tsuda, Junshin Fujiyama, Akiko Miki, Satoko Hori, Hisakazu Ohtani, Yasufumi Sawada
Purpose: We reported the first case of phenytoin intoxication due to the concomitant use of phenytoin and TS-1, together with a review of the literature regarding the occurrence of phenytoin intoxication due to the concomitant use of phenytoin and fluoropyrimidine antitumor drugs such as fluorouracil (5-FU) and tegafur (FT). Methods: We showed the clinical course of our patient. Reports of phenytoin intoxication due to the concomitant use of phenytoin and fluoropyrimidine antitumor drugs in the English and Japanese language literature up to 2007 were identified by searching Medline and ICHUSHI Web (Japana Centra Revuo Medicina). Results: A patient taking phenytoin and TS-1, a combination preparation of tegafur, gimeracil, and oteracil potassium, experienced lightheadedness and repeated falls associated with an increase in serum phenytoin concentration (32.8 μg/ml) at 1 month after the start of TS-1 treatment. The time lag between initiation of combined treatment and onset of adverse symptoms suggests the presence of an indirect mechanism, rather than direct inhibition of drug-metabolizing enzymes by drugs in TS-1 or their active metabolites. Conclusions: Plasma phenytoin concentration should be closely monitored in patients receiving TS-1 and phenytoin concomitantly.

Office market ends 2013 on high note
Total Manhattan leasing activity expected to be greater than in 2012
By Adam Pincus | December 03, 2013 08:05AM
There's no winter chill in the Manhattan office leasing market. Despite the distracting hubbub of parties and holiday dinners, transactions traditionally rise in the fourth quarter.
"The deal flow is there. I think we are moving with some momentum that will carry us over to next year," said Richard Bernstein, vice chairman with commercial firm Cassidy Turley.
Bruce Mosler, chairman of global brokerage for Cushman & Wakefield, agreed.
"I think December will be a strong month. I can only judge from my own activity, what I see and feel," he said. "[But] it will be one of the more active Decembers we've had from a closing perspective."
Indeed, Teach for America, the nonprofit that places teachers in challenging schools around the country, is one of the tenants expected to sign a large lease in the coming weeks. It's in late negotiations to relocate from the Garment District to Lower Manhattan, where it will take up to 170,000 square feet, sources said.
Commercial brokerage Colliers International projected that 2013 would conclude with a total of about 26 million square feet of Manhattan office lease deals inked for the year — more than 2 million square feet above last year, but still behind 2011, when nearly 28 million square feet was leased.
Average asking rents for Manhattan rose by $0.04 per foot to $59.29 per square foot last month compared to October, and the availability rate — which measures space vacant now or available in the next 12 months — was unchanged last month at 11.5 percent, Colliers data revealed.
The ever-more efficient use of office space by tenants allowed household products giant Colgate-Palmolive to put about 109,000 square feet on the market at its global headquarters at 300 Park Avenue.
The move comes nearly six years after the company, which has been a tenant in the building since 1956, inked a 15-year lease for more than 537,000 square feet, CoStar Group data showed. Indeed, according to CoStar, Colgate signed a lease near the peak of the market in early 2008 for more than $100 a square foot, for 15 floors in the Plaza District building.
But in 2010, Colgate returned the 16th floor to the building's landlord, Tishman Speyer. And in 2011, it did the same with the 15th floor. In more than three years, however, those floors have yet to be spoken for, even as the Plaza District has been active recently. So far this year, more space was leased in the Plaza District (as of the start of last month) than any other Midtown submarket, Colliers data showed.
Now, Colgate has put floors 12, 13 and 14 on the sublease market, represented by a Colliers leasing team. Unlike the previous floors, however, the company is still on the hook for the space.
There is no asking rent, but one insider estimated a tenant would pay about $85 to $90 a foot for the lease, which still has 10 years left, depending on landlord contributions.
Further south, in Midtown, the law firm Wollmuth Maher & Deutsch inked a renewal lease for 15 years at 500 Fifth Avenue, a 687,565-square-foot office building at the corner of 42nd Street, information from leasing data tracking firm CompStak shows.
Cushman & Wakefield's Stephen Baker, Mitchell Barnett and David Malawer represented the law firm, and Cushman's Harry Blair and Sean Kearns represented the landlord.
The asking rent for the space was $60 per square foot — far below the average asking rent for Midtown, which was $69.49 per foot in November, up 12 cents per foot from the prior month, Colliers statistics showed. The availability rate for Midtown fell by 0.1 points to 11.6 percent last month compared to the prior month.
Midtown South
The heavy concentration of tech tenants in Midtown South is not breaking news, but new data from commercial firm Jones Lang LaSalle shows just how intense interest from those tech firms actually is in the area.
Since the start of the year, 66 percent of the square footage that was rented in the Greenwich Village submarket was leased by tech firms, JLL reported. That amounted to 244,610 square feet of the total 371,095 square feet leased. The largest Greenwich Village deal was Facebook taking nearly 100,000 square feet at 770 Broadway. Meanwhile, 45 percent of the space leased in Chelsea was taken by tech firms this year.
In Midtown South overall, 38 percent of the deals were with such firms. For example, the website 1stdibs.com, an online antique store, inked a deal for about 42,232 square feet at developer Edward Minskoff's spec tower 51 Astor Place. According to Crain's, Twitter was also looking at the building.
But it's mostly the old buildings luring tech tenants. One factor is that the old loft-style structures tend to have the open layouts favored by start-ups.
A new large block of space in a 1925 building, 79 Madison Avenue, was listed last month. The 287,000-square-foot building is just north of Madison Square Park, one of the city's big tech hubs.
"We are targeting a single user for this large block, which includes the possibility for a 'building-within-a-building' option," said Robert Getreu, executive vice president at Colliers.
That would give a single user a private lobby and interior elevators. Colliers declined to disclose an asking rent.
But the average asking rent in Midtown South fell by $0.58 per foot to $53.98 per square foot in November, and the availability rate rose by 0.1 points to 9.2 percent last month, Colliers figures show.
Another big block of space hit the market in Lower Manhattan, and it might already be spoken for, insiders said.
The brokerage CBRE Group put floors 11, 12 and 13 at ACTA Realty's 25 Broadway, an 858,000-square-foot office building at Morris Street, on the market last month, CoStar showed. The floors have a combined 130,037 square feet.
Several industry sources said the nonprofit Teach for America, represented by CBRE's New York Tri-State CEO, Mary Ann Tighe, was negotiating a lease last month for that space at the building. It could take as much as 170,000 square feet in the building, insiders said.
Teach for America and the landlord did not respond to requests for comment. CBRE declined to comment.
The asking rent for the space was $34 per foot, CoStar data showed.
That was significantly below the average asking rent for the market, which rose by $0.14 per foot to $47.51 per square foot, as the availability rate fell by 0.3 points to 14.4 percent, last month, the Colliers statistics showed.

Niacin is used with diet changes (restriction of cholesterol and fat intake) to reduce the amount of cholesterol and certain fatty substances in your blood. Niacin is also used to prevent and treat pellagra (niacin deficiency), a disease caused by inadequate diet and other medical problems. Niacin is a B-complex vitamin.
Niacin comes as a tablet and an extended-release (long-acting) tablet to take by mouth. The regular tablet usually is taken two to three times a a day with meals, and the extended-release tablet is taken once a day, at bedtime, with food. Follow the directions on your prescription label or package label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take niacin exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the extended-release tablets whole; do not split, chew, or crush them. Your doctor will probably start you on a low dose of niacin and gradually increase your dose. Continue to take niacin even if you feel well. Do not stop taking niacin without talking to your doctor.
Before taking niacin, tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to niacin, aspirin, tartrazine (a yellow dye in some processed foods and drugs), or any other drugs. tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications you are taking, especially anticoagulants (blood thinners) such as warfarin (Coumadin), medications for high blood pressure or diabetes and other vitamins. If you take insulin or oral diabetes medication, your dose may need to be changed because niacin may increase the amount of sugar in your blood and urine. tell your doctor if you drink large amounts of alcohol and if you have or have ever had diabetes; gout; ulcers; allergies; jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes); or gallbladder, heart, or liver disease. tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking niacin, call your doctor. if you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are taking niacin. you should know that this drug may make you drowsy. Do not drive a car or operate machinery until you know how this drug affects you. remember that alcohol can add to the drowsiness caused by this drug. you should know that niacin causes flushing (redness) of the face and neck. This side effect usually goes away after taking the medicine for a few weeks. Avoid drinking alcohol or hot drinks around the time you take niacin. Taking aspirin or another nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn) 30 minutes before niacin may reduce the flushing. If you take extended-release niacin at bedtime, the flushing will probably happen while you are asleep. If you wake up and feel flushed, get up slowly, especially if you feel dizzy or faint.
If you take niacin to reduce the amount of cholesterol and fats in your blood, eat a low-cholesterol, low-fat diet. Follow the diet prescribed by your doctor.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will order certain lab tests to check your response to niacin. Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.


A photographic typology exploring the non-places we unknowingly encounter everyday. We are increasingly in transit through non-places. These spaces lurk at the edge of activity. Non-places hold next to no personality, identity or history. We pass through spaces, transitional places and locations but they are never our intended destination. We perceive the location, however only partially and perhaps incoherently.
This piece is a representation of reality, however a reality that we struggle to acknowledge.
