As someone who finds the gifts in the challenges and the beauty in the darkness, I struggle to find any sparks of light on December 31st. In fact the last week of December is always a veil of darkness for me. Deep breaths don't help, chanting makes me miss what no longer exists, and the doldrums have a way of overtaking my spirit.
Regardless of the amount of love that surrounds me, I feel alone. Yet being alone is not something that really bothers me any other time of year.
With approximately 9 hours left of 2017, I am going to try to shake the blues by being honest and doing what I am known – finding light in the shadows.
Just over a year ago, I stood at one of my favorite places in the world. Granted, I haven't done much traveling, but I so love the Bay Area of California. In fact, I love it so much, that I have this photo in my bedroom, it is one of the first sights I see when I open up my eyes each morning and in my writing corner I have a similar photo of an empty bench looking out into that same beautiful water.
Looking out into the water, most any water, is one of the only ways that I find center and quiet my mind. Taking the time to write, journal, or blog from my heart does the same for my spirit. With that in mind, I am going to do some soul sharing, writing from the deepest depths of my despair.
This year has been really painful for me. I have felt lonelier than I have ever felt in my life. Physically I was forced to see myself differently than I ever had. Too many loved ones were devastated by plagues of physical and emotional hell. The two countries that I love have broken my heart – again and again. And financially, I had to come to grips with the knowledge that as fortunate as I am, I have not taken care of myself or even given my sons some of their basic needs.
The biggest challenge came when my back went out, I realized how systemically broken I was. My core strength was not only physically gone, but metaphorically shattered. And while surgery did a beautiful job of improving what was wrong, I can't seem to do what I need to do to finish the healing process. I don't have what it is to lose my excess weight and exercise as I need to. And yet, I am moving and even losing a little weight. And financially, the surgery has kept me in a hole I was hoping to leave.
And then there was Hurricane Harvey. Hurricane Harvey unleashed the bile in my soul. I no longer feel safe. Rational or irrational. In just a moment, all could be lost and I don't feel like I have a safety net to save me or my sons. And yet, the the truth is that when I really need help, any kind of help, my village shows up. I know that I am loved more deeply than I deserve. My family is held by so many people that have shown up time and again to support us in profound ways.
Twenty-eight years ago, I was married. I thought it would last forever, it didn't. And while I don't question the need for it to be over, there is a part of me that mourns the ending on what would be today's 28th anniversary.
There are more skeletons in my closet that don't need to be shared, but the waning weeks of the year are rarely good for my spirit. In fact, they remind me of how very dark I am capable of going. Yet when I allow myself to open up heart and my memory, I know that I always end up exactly where I need to be.
Writing is truly how I navigate the jagged edges of my soul and how I am able to land on my two beautiful feet.
So here are some beautiful rays of light that have emerged when despair threatened to take over.
While back pain left me crippled, I had the most amazing surgeon who understood that he had to act quickly so that I wouldn't lose the use of my leg. And I had two amazing friends that came to support me when my fear of being alone was crashing down around me. I do have more work to do so that my surgery can remain the success that it was. This has to be the year of more weight loss and more movement too.
With each step I take, my truths are resonating with my spirit. I am becoming more whole and more holy. My creativity is nurturing the person I am and the person I am meant to become. Transformation is allowing me to thrive in ways I never felt possible.I am finding peace in the broken parts of me. And on a good day, I am growing to love the woman I am and the woman I am becoming too. I am doing the best to trust this journey that I am on. As a seeker, I feel blessed to have found the words that I will embrace for this coming year. My hope is to strengthen the Spiritual Warrior within and share that essence with my beloveds and those in my world.
With seven hours left of this year, I think I am ready to soar and emerge to a better place.
Hineini, Here I am! I am alive! I am thriving! I have made it to this time!
Words are powerful and empowering. Whether I am reading them or weaving them together to articulate my own thoughts, words inspire me to explore what is and to make sense of what can be.
Words give my free flowing thoughts foundation; they ground me. When I read other's thoughts, I realize that I am either not alone or that I am surrounded by both brilliant and limited thinkers. Time and again, I am amazed how all people can influence others by how they articulate themselves in speech or writing.
Personally, writing allows me to feel like I am being heard. As someone who has been marginalized, I have found that simply the act of writing my thoughts allows me to release the myriad of ideas that are sometimes trapped inside my head; the release also opens my heart space so that I somehow feel heard even if it is only the paper that is receiving my thoughts. In truth, once I have written my thoughts, I often feel more comfortable sharing them to anyone who will listen.
Have you ever heard the echo when you yell from a mountaintop? I love the exhilaration that comes with the responsive echo. That is the way I feel each and every time I take time to write what is weighing on my conscience and even within my subconsciousness. The more that I write, regardless of whether it is my own personal journals, my blog, or my Facebook/Twitter posts, the more I feel at home within my being.
how important writing has become to my soul. . . . even more than before if that is possible. This sweet realization is leading me to feel more whole.
how I love to write notes and journal entries with my own handwriting. I love the feel of the pen or marker in my hands, the touch of the paper, and way the writing tools flow over the paper.
how I equally need pen/paper and my computer. I need both handwriting and electronic keyboard to articulate my thoughts; I also need my voice.
being able to articulate my need for wrapping things in a box with all the words that I need to say before I can let go. Only once I give voice to my feelings am I am able to move forward. Just the act of releasing my thoughts or sharing my heart space allows me to let go. When I can't do this for whatever reason, I tend to grow sad or frustrated that my purging of words does not always work well for others; I am learning to navigate this.
if I am not writing, I must be in a dark place. Writing fuels my soul.
Words empower me to do what Emily Dickinson called 'dwell in the possibility'. I would not be the woman I am if I did not have my writing.
May all writing always exhilarate my spirit, give me wings to soar, and help me to navigate the many voices in my head.
Within me a storm is constantly blowing. As someone who never stops thinking and feeling the rhythm of the world that surrounds me, I often think or wrestle with what is happening around me. And as I grapple, I sometimes have trouble silencing my mind so that I may be able to relax or shut down.
In this moment alone, I am thinking about the 150 murdered Kenyan students and their loved ones, the fatal shooting of another African-American teenager, Justus Howell, by a Illinois Police officer on Saturday, how the water crisis in California will affect so many people, the bi-partisan reaction to Iran deal, and how to make chickpeas without leaving too much of a carbon footprint. And then there is my work, my future work, and my sons to consider. And finally, I am pondering about my writing – What shape do I want my upcoming blogs to take? Should I take the time to work on my book this week? The bottom-line is that these thoughts have been racing through my brain over the last several hours or maybe the last 10 minutes.
If I am totally transparent, I am also struggling with Facebook conversations. How I personally relate to people who see Israeli politics so much differently than I do? What do I do with the "friend" that referred to those that like Obama as morons. (I did delete his message and wrote him a gentle note back.) How can I make the last days of Passover meaningful? And finally, hoping to remember to send cards to the couple of friends who lost love ones over the last week.
What I am thinking about doesn't end there. I am also deliberating on how to best make a positive difference for the slaves within the chocolate industry. (That came up during our 2nd night Seder) And I am also wondering whether J Street would be interested in letting me create a cabinet or focus community of educators. And then there is a personal issue tugging at my heart. Sigh.
May each of us find peace within the storms of life and within all that fills our minds.
Letter to My Friend: This is Why I Write. . . .
I hope your day is going great in every way.
After we hung up today, I realized how many miles apart we really are. We haven't spent time together in years and it shows.
You really don't know me or know what jazzes my soul. You don't listen to what my hopes and dreams are. You and I love one another because we have 22 years of history, but it has been over 12 years since connected for more than 24 hours and the one time we did for hours it was lovely.
Let me be clear with you. . . .I want you to know what nearly every other friend knows about me. I live with a deep authenticity; I am happy in my own skin and with my own needs/desires. And I know that my voice matters whether it is verbal or written. There was a time in my life that I was silenced and today I am blessed that that is not the case!
When I say that the act of writing and sharing my writing is a non-negotiable in my life, you don't seem to grasp the power of my writing to me and to others. For me, writing has kept me moving forward and grounded as a person. For others, there seems to be beauty in how people connect with my experiences and the way that I think. My writing impacts others deeply. The more I write, the more I am asked to write. AND the more I write, the more I am driven to write. Whether I am writing about my personal journeys, the way that I walk in the world, or the way I see the world, I touch people's lives; sometimes I even inspire people in some small ways. And the bottom-line is that I love that my writing touches others, but I also simply write because it centers me and makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Writing has always been part of my life. This is a love affair that has nurtured my soul, given me hope, and held me when I was feeling a sense of loss. This love affair has kept me close at times and also pushed me over the edge. I have been forced to navigate deep emotions with this lover and to sometimes let go. I have been writing to and about this lover since I can remember. This is the only lover, I have fully trusted with my entire being. At 14 years old, I wrote. . .
Nothing has changed since I wrote these words nearly 35 years ago.
My writing is sacred. I choose what to share and what not share, but I write every day of my life. If I am not writing, you know that something is seriously wrong. While you may not like my transparency, my nonfiction nature, or my writing style, I have many people that do. And even if I didn't, I love it and I love doing it!
Over time, I have begun to treasure the people that stop into my writing life. I love that one friend periodically tells me that it is time to deepen my writing or watch my grammar. I smile that I have about 4 or 5 religious leaders that follow my blog even though I am not from their tradition. And then there is the distant friend, that let's me know that one particular blog has transformed how they look at the challenges that they face. Finally, I am touched that strangers and friends alike find the gifts in what I write.
Each and every day I grow as a writer. I look back to what I have published over the years and I laugh. How could anyone have ever published my articles? My writing is a work in progress. Each and every day I continue to grow as a writer and pray that I do until my last breath.
Sharing my writing is the gift I give myself and the world (or those that choose to read). 🙂 The impact that my writing has on many others is humbling and beautiful. So while you have no reason to see my writing as impactful, many do.
Taking a deep breath. . . . I was really stunned by your questioning my writing and your subsequent attitude.
No need to talk about this again. . . .Just wanted you to know. There are two non-negotiables in my life. . .Loving my sons and my writing journey.
Hope we one day can spend time knowing each other better. . . it has been such a long time.

Women's rights in 'Naya Pakistan'
Why must only the law relating to women's rights have the stamp of CII approval?
By Muhammad Anwar
PHOTO: AYESHA MIR/EXPRESS
In the 'new' Pakistan, as aspired to by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), women will be treated as per the injunctions of Islamic Sharia. The Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) interprets these injunctions. That is why the proposed women's protection bill in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) was sent to the CII for vetting. But, what exactly is 'new' here?
The CII has already declared the Punjab Protection of Women against Violence Bill 2015, un-Islamic. So, in all probability, the K-P's bill for the protection of women will also be declared the same. Thus, the bill may die before its birth. But there are many questions, which Imran Khan and the PTI-led coalition government in K-P, need to be asked.
CII rules women's protection law 'un-Islamic'
The K-P government has enacted, or amended, about 80 laws since the PTI coalition government was formed in 2013. Why must only the law relating to women's rights have the stamp of CII approval? Why weren't laws related to local government, banking, taxation, universities, trusts and so on, not considered worthy of CII approval? After all, Islam covers every aspect of human life. Why is the PTI practising double standards?
The PTI, as a party, believes in utilising technical and scientific methods in solving various issues. The biometric voting process has been its main demand, to ensure fair elections. However, the party's great fervour for science does not coincide with the CII's determination that DNA cannot be used as primary evidence in rape cases. Perhaps the PTI should also get CII approval on using biometrics for the voting process. For all we know, the CII may have a different opinion on biometric voting procedures and that opinion should be 'respected' as well.
Some parts of K-P domestic violence bill against spirit of Islam: CII chairman
I may have opposed the PTI's dharna for different ideological reasons, but the one thing I really liked about it was the participation, in large numbers, of the youth. The scene was mesmerising, as girls and boys danced together to the variety of tunes played by DJ Butt. There was an undeniable energy to change Pakistan. I wonder if Imran Khan would have dared to obtain Maulana Sherani and the CII's thumbs-up for the music and dance that took place at the dharna.
The fact of the matter is that in PTI's 'Naya Pakistan', the prospects of women's rights are bleak. Going by the CII footprints, the PTI in Naya Pakistan will not mind any man marrying off his teenage daughter. Yet, a book written by a girl of the same age will be banned in educational institutions, as we have witnessed in the case of Malala Yousufzai. Imran Khan's legislative performance on protecting women's rights is no different from any firebrand religious party in Pakistan. He opposed the Women's Protection Bill in 2006, when he was the lone MNA of the PTI. During that era, he also voted against amendments to the Hudood Ordinance. It appears that he now feels the need to oppose such legislation in K-P as well. Hence, the bill has been sent to the CII for approval.
The PTI's respect for the CII is exemplary. One expects the same respect from the PTI for the Election Commission of Pakistan, parliament and the judiciary. The PTI left no stone unturned when discrediting these institutions during the dharna. Is the discrediting of parliament and the superior judiciary, and trust in the CII, to be expected of Naya Pakistan?
Equal rights: 'Women-specific laws can curb gender-based violence'
K-P, like the rest of Pakistan, has serious gender-related issues and it needs serious consideration from the lawmakers. According to the Aurat Foundation Report, 10,139 cases of violence against women were reported in 2014, in Pakistan, of which 736 cases were from K-P. The number of unreported cases may be much higher. Many victimised women voted for the PTI with the hope that in the new Pakistan, they will be able to live a life of dignity, with all their basic rights protected. How can a party, having justice in its very name, claim to be the party of change if it cannot ensure the protection of and dispensation of justice for women, the marginalised segment of our society?

CII opposed all secular laws related to women rights, child rights, animal rights, religious building and clothing laws. CII also opposed all liberals laws related to Freedom of speech, expression, hate speech and religion, gender equality, dating laws etc.

The bill was sent to CII for feedback so that it does not become controversial afterwards and thus impossible to implement. Unfortunately, all you have to do to discredit such legislation in Pakistan is to term is unIslamic.
CII is concerned with matters related to Islam. Thats why legislation pertaining to electoral laws and other matters is not sent to it.
CII came into being as a result of constitutional arrangement. I think it is mostly irrelevant though.

I think the author is missing a very critical part of Pakhtun culture, they don't consider women to be "equal" or even human (not all but most of them). I have witnessed widespread abuse of women in my own family for petty issues and it is considered norm. The government first has to educate the next generation on treating women as human beings and then we introduce corresponding legislature.
Otherwise people will simply start killing women who file complaints and we will have to prosecute an entire province.Recommend
Excellent piece. Thank you.Recommend
In many ways, the discussion around this bill in the country is a case in point regarding islamic sharia law. If sharia is universal and it has provisions to treat women and their related issues in a just manner then this bill is unnecessary. Whereas, if this bill is needed to protect women's rights then sharia is incomplete. One cannot have it both ways.
Purely on a discussion level, I say, that the mullahs and CII are correct in saying that this type of bill is unislamic. I even go a step further and say that it is unconstitutional in PAK. Either PAK should have islamic system as per constitution or infidel system.
The opinions like the authors are treated as unislamic by other camps and people wonder why. My comment suggests why they oppose the bill. Recommend
Very early on Imran Khan and his PTI repeatedly shot itself in the foot….. and now has shot itself in the head. Despite the many opportunities it has had to do right, it has failed and the failure is visible.Recommend
Is Trump capitalising on neoliberalism's failure?

Thanks, looks great... Can the F14 accommodate AM center caps?
The F14s will not fit the AM centercaps unfortunately.
But I do have a good option where you can order a custom adhesive AM cap that will fit right over the Forgstar cap and looks OEM!
Shoot me an email at [email protected] and I can get into the details with you!
We got this C7 Z06 fitted with a set of Forgestar CF10 in the Gloss Bronze Burst finish in the popular 19x10 / 20x12 fitment!
Need something different and unique? Check out this Forgestar F14 we did in a Gloss Prism Purple finish! Looks even cooler if a matte top coat was shot over this.
Had the opportunity to help out this customer get fitted with a set of Forgestar CF10 for an OEM+ fitment! Customer wanted a set that was able to clear his brake caliper and be like an OEM fitment and I can say we definitely achieved that.
Check out that brake clearance!
Forgestar F14 in the Super Deep Concave setup done in a Polished Clear finish for a customer! We try not to do these finishes since they bring out minor casting errors here and there but when they're good, they look so good!
Another all around Super Deep Concave setup we got done for this beautiful 50th Anniversary 2015 S550 Ford Mustang with the Forgestar F14 finished in a Gloss Bronze Burst.
Polaris Slingshots are definitely an interesting vehicle! We helped out a customer get setup with a new fatty rear with Forgestar F14 in Matte Black in 20x12 with 345 wide tires! Check out that meat!
Got ourselves another Forgestar M14 order but this time with Gloss Bronze Burst center with Polished lips! This setup is built for a 370z with sport calipers in 18x9.5 and 18x10.5!
Definitely a more realistic look at these wheels where widebody isn't at play here.

Voting Doesn't Beat the Far Right
The far-right occupation of the U.S. Capitol Building shows us that simply voting Trump out of office wasn't enough to destroy the far-right movement. Politicians don't create movements — they simply give them a political expression. We can only defeat the far-right movement through organization and class struggle.

The Far Right, emboldened and egged on by Donald Trump, stormed the U.S. Capitol Building yesterday with little resistance from the police. Their occupation of the Capitol — which came while Congress was in session ratifying the electoral college vote — is a far cry from the tear gas, rubber bullets, and mass arrests which took place during the Black Lives Matter movement last summer. But, this isn't too surprising: we've always known that the cops will treat the Right with kid gloves and even aid and abet them, just like we saw during last year's anti-lockdown protests and in Charlottesville. What these mobilizations reveal is, once again, that voting and elections won't defeat the Far Right — especially not when the alternative is the Democratic Party, a capitalist party that helped fuel its rise.
During the 2020 presidential election, figures from Barack Obama to Noam Chomsky to Angela Davis were telling everyone who would listen that voting for Joe Biden was necessary because it would defeat the Far Right forces that Trump has been stoking for more than four years. Many members of the Left bought into this argument and voted for Biden against their better judgement because they wanted to put a stop to Trump's authoritarian and right-wing tendencies. In some sense, this is understandable — after all, if Trump is the one emboldening this right-wing movement, why wouldn't getting rid of him help kill it? The events that transpired over the last few days clearly show that this is mistaken thinking. Whether in the White House or out of it, Donald Trump and his far right-wing base will continue to mobilize and play a role on the political stage. In fact, a staggering 75 percent of Republicans believe that the elections were rigged, highlighting the widespread influence of Trumpism. It is naïve to believe that these folks will just go home on January 20th.
You might be interested in: Biden Wins, but the Capitalist Crisis that Created Trumpism Is Here to Stay
Further, the idea that elections can defeat Trumpism misses that politicians can't create movements in a vacuum — they tap into existing sentiments and give political expression to them. The global rise in right-wing extremism is a response to the dire conditions created by the economic crisis. The current spike is a more direct result of the decline in living conditions for ordinary Americans over the past few decades, culminating in the 2008 financial crisis, which the capitalists resolved by implementing devastating austerity that robbed millions of social services, education, job opportunities, and health care. This created a deep polarization which had left- and right-wing populist expressions.
In this context, right-wing extremism emerged because it spoke to the despair of (typically) white men. By tapping into the racism that capitalism is built on, right-wing extremism channels anger at the establishment and converts material struggles into xenophobia, racism, and neo-fascism. And Donald Trump was the political expression of this right-wing polarization, strengthening, giving voice to it, and, now, mobilizing it on a larger scale. This movement rallied around Trump because it believed that he represented a challenge to the established order and, now that he has been defeated by yet another neoliberal, it is mobilizing to defend him.
But we should be clear: this rise in right-wing radicalization is a product of the Obama years as well as the escalation in the Trump years. Given this, it is not only incorrect but deeply dangerous to think that Biden's warmed-over neoliberalism in the midst of a devastating economic crisis will do anything but escalate the problem.
Indeed, the escalations from the right that we saw on Wednesday come less than 24 hours after the Democrats won both senate elections in Georgia and took control of Congress. Trump was defeated at the ballot box in November and then again in January, but the social base of Trumpism is emboldened, not diminished. With Trump out of office, it provides him with a bigger platform to speak to this right-wing base, not smaller, because he will no longer be held back by having to work within the established structures. The "adults in the room" are gone, and full-fledged right-wing populism can reign at Trump rallies, on Trump's Twitter feed, and the vast network of right-wing media outlets.
So if the solution to defeating the Right isn't voting for the Democrats, what is?
The way to defeat the organized Right is with an organized Left independent of all capitalist parties. There are no shortcuts, no substitutes for the organizing we need to do. We need to build powerful and militant worker organizations in our workplaces and in the streets that can resist the Far Right, all the politicians who cater to them, and the neoliberal austerity that creates them. This resistance will involve both openly confronting the Far Right in the streets but also using our power as workers to resist them. For example, workers in DC could go on strike to protest the Far Right occupation of the Capitol building, forcing the government to evict them from the streets.
Strong Left organizations are also important because they can fight back the ideological advance of the Right. Many young people are drawn to the Far Right because they believe that it offers solutions to their struggles. If there were Left organizations that were putting forward a strong message against both the Far Right and neoliberalism, it could help to prevent some of these people from being drawn into right-wing extremism, thus preventing these movements from growing. It is vital in the fight to defeat the Right that we provide a real and meaningful alternative. And for people who become fascists, we agree with Trotsky when he said, "If you cannot convince a Fascist, acquaint his head with the pavement."
In this, the failure of leftist leaders like Chomsky and Davis becomes clear: not only were they wrong that defeating Trump at the polls would defeat the Far Right, but they also sewed false illusions in Biden. Chomsky and the other leftist leaders who asked us to support Biden told us that he could keep us safe from the Far Right. He can't — and he won't. By funneling the energy of the Black Lives Matter movement into support for Biden, these leaders intentionally or not worked to undermine what could have been the foundations of the type of mass social movement we need to protect against the Far Right. Voting for Biden got us further away from defeating the Right, not closer.
History is littered with examples of this. From Franco in Spain to Hitler in Germany, the liberals always choose to side with the fascists over the socialists because fascism is less of a threat to the capitalist order than socialism is. So we can't be fooled when liberal politicians wring their hands about the rise of the Far Right — they aren't on our side, and we cannot support them in their elections, even when they are running against a representative of the Far Right. Liberal victories at the voting booth will not defeat the Right — but class struggle and worker organizing will. And given the right-wing mobilization yesterday, it's clear that we need independent organizing in the current moment.

In Standoff Over Cop City, Police Are the Real Terrorists
For over two years, the protests and occupations against a police training center in Atlanta, Georgia flew under the radar of the mainstream press. Now, after the police murder of land defender Manuel Teran and the arrest of 19 protesters on charges of domestic terrorism, the standoff has gained national attention. But in the battle to defend the Weelaunee Forest and the people of Atlanta from the development of the massive "Cop City" training center, it is the Atlanta Police Department and the state that have been acting like terrorists.

Q: nginx php7 only working in document root beginner here ;)
I moved a page from one VPS to another and after installing nginx,php7 etc (using this tutorial) everything is working great.
Added SSL no problem at all.
However if I execute any php files (f.e hello world)  in any newly created subfolder f.e mydomain.pw/newfolder/index.php I get a blank result.
If I execute the same file in the page root folder (WP), it works fine.
I have added my user to the www-data group and gave the same permission as I did on the former VPS.
If I check the nginx error log or php7.0-fpm.log I get no error at all.
If anyone has any hint or idea what the problem is, I'd really appreciate it.
I suspect a permission error but searched on SO and Google without success.
Here is my nginx conf :
server {
  listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
  listen 80 default_server;
  # listen on the www and non-www host
  server_name www.mydomain.pw mydomain.pw;

  root /var/www/mydomain;
  index index.html index.htm index.php ;

  # and redirect to the https host (declared below)

  return 301 https://mydomain.pw$request_uri;

  location ~ \.php$ {

            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;

            fastcgi_index index.php;

            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;

            include fastcgi_params;
    }
}
server {
  listen [::]:443 ssl;

  listen 443 ssl;

The dark underbelly of writing a book about evolutionary biology and self defence is that, well, you can't just make it up. You've got to do the research, or the thing will get eaten up by the scientists of this world. This is not fun. Do you have any idea how hard it is to search for scientific articles on Google when you don't know the title of the paper? Do you? I don't get paid for this you know.
There are always things that don;t make the book, that I couldn't find in time, or I had to take out due to space limitations. One of those things is the hours I spent researcing the brilliantly titled 'The Influence of the Sensory System and the Environment on Motion Patterns in the Visual Displays of Anoline Lizards and other Vertibrates' by Leo J Freishman & published in March 1992 (I have to do this) has greatly informed my theories. Catchy, yes? These scientists really know how to throw a party.
Don't worry, I'm not going to bore you with the details, but the findings are interesting – trust me – and itls a shame this particular gem didn't make the book. It's all about sight, you see, how it's evolved and how animal behaviour has changed to adapt to how sight works. Specifically, the suggestion is that vertebrate (that's us) sight has evolved to recognise the movement of other animals behind a background noise of moving shrubbery and foliage.
Not such a leap of faith. After all, growing up in the jungle as we did, it was probably a useful skill to be able to differentiate between a tasty looking vine hanging from a tree and a soon-to-be pissed off snake taking a nap. So, our sight (and brain) has evolved to pick out particular types of movement against the background constant movement and rustle of the jungle. Animals wanting to be noticed for mating or territirial purposes have evolved to stand out against it too (bright colours, big movements) whilst predators have evolved to vanish in to the background noise (similar types of movement, mottled colours).
So we see lizards with bright colours and foliage, bears standing on two legs and roaring to scare people away, chimpanzees bearing their bright white teeth (agains the mottled greens of the jungle) to scare away predators; whilst hunting predators have adopted subtle, natural swaying movements (think stalking cats, sneaking chameleons, swaying snakes) to blend in to the background noise of the undergrowth, so that their prey only registers this background noise and fails to pick them out.
In the modern jungle, we can see this in the two main types of aggressive behaviour displayed by humans – that of mating ritual and hunter. Mating ritual behaviour -scraps over territory / women on a Friday night – are pre-occupied by shouting, pushing, shoving, big movements of the limbs and pushed out chests. This then is to seperate the aggressor from the background motion noise, to identify the movement with a threat – to advertise the threat of violence. To scare off the opponent, effectively. Compare this with the movement of a stalker or mugger – soft, subtle, deliberate and measured – designed to blend in to the crowd, not be noticed at all until the job is done. To conceal the threat of violence. The movement building up to the attack has, essentially, described the nature of and motivations behind the attack.
Understanding another's body language can help to recognise whether violence is an option, what the violence is motivated by, and thus how to respond. Food for thought.

The Rosalind S. Richardson Center for Arts is a new, 57,000 SF, 3 story facility at Wofford College with approximate construction budget of $10-12 million. This facility will provide instructional and art studio space for the college as well as serve the greater community as a performance and arts venue. The project includes a 250-seat, multi-level theater, black box studio theatre, and an art museum.
The exterior structure is primarily reinforced masonry walls supporting steel framing along with areas of structural steel and concrete. Unique to the project are the multiple levels of steel supports required for pulley systems and lighting along with a basement level below the stage with an orchestra pit.


What a way to live! To rise to a higher state of consciousness, that is. Whenever you want (need) to reach your "Higher Self," simply repeat these words. You are calling on the Highest of the High, the Supreme Being of the Universe.
Particularly, when you're faced with a decision. Call on that Goodness to "open" you to where ever the situation is developing and let the Energy dwell in the moment.
Now kick it out. I mean it. Kick out God, Mother Earth, the Buddha or "my Beloved." Go it alone. Make a decision with the Free Will that's been granted you.
It's only then that you become the person you always wanted to be, the altruistic one that places the interests of all others above your own. You make the right call, and you "bestow" a gift to humanity. You create compassion and Love that is never wasted, but passed from one person to another.
Kinda like those television commercials when the actor sees someone performing a kind deed for someone else — picking up a package someone dropped, pulling a person back to the pavement to prevent them from being struck by a bus. You pass it on, "pay it forward." You know the one I'm talking about.
Now get this. It is when you make that decision, that you "increase" your spiritual level. You actually enlarge your capacity for more love and compassion. And, you're following a teaching that is old as Adam and refined by an Abraham and the law-giver himself, Moses. Cool, huh?
Well, He could force you to be a good person. Or ply you with promises of great afterlife for your unselfish act. He is the great "Giver," that Creator of ours. And He wants us to "receive" His benevolence.
But, some say the only way we can become closer to Him, is to "be" more "God-like," that is, to make the type of decision the All Powerful One would be proud you made. Not that He needs us to make Him feel good. He's good automatically, and I think He wants us to feel the same, to be "good" all the time.
Not holy-roller good! For Christ sake, we're talking spiritual, not religious. I decide what I truly believe is the single act that would benefit all of humanity, despite its consequences to me. Or in spite of what I think the "fallout" could be.
I chose to slow down and let the man feel secure from my on-coming car. I noticed that a young white-haired woman was crossing the street away from his car, so I remained stopped, patiently waiting for her to get to her car directly across the street.
Looking up, I took my foot off the brake and the car rolled forward, until I applied the brake again. There was an older white-haired lady walking in the middle of 5th Avenue, near St. Cosmos & Damien's Church without a concern for any traffic behind her. I watched her stay in the middle of the road, taking some 10 steps before veering off to the side to a parked car. Waiting for her to open the door, I slowly drove past, waved, and felt I understood how this "None Besides Him" . . . "None Besides Me" thing really works.
I passed the test. The altruistic test that I had sub-consciously designed to undertake. Felt filled with, I don't know, a low-level bliss that told me everything was right with the world. This practice really works at two levels. First, and foremost, for the people I try to "serve," and secondly, and not really part of the equation, for myself. A residual benefit I neither sought or expected to gain.
Now let me try that with someone I find myself locked deep in argument with . . . If it works there, then maybe I'll go to the Middle East, to Israel, to discuss love and compassion with a few opposing sides there.

There is no time like the present. But, it depends on how we measure "a moment." Are we but one continuance Thought of Our Creator? All one with no real separation from past and/or future?
Or are we multiple bumps in the road of Life hoping the next tire treads more gently over head? One second at a time, with no let up to contemplate Love, Compassion and Forgiveness.
I think in slowing down we also display trust. When I think I am going to be late for a meeting (which is rare) I say to myself, "I will arrive at the right time" and true enough I do. It might not be at the exact time I planned to be there, but I do arrive at exactly the right time for the meeting.
I was telling her how I see driving in parking lots as a metaphor for the spiritual path. When I'm driving I expect a trap to be sprung at any second. Easing up on the pedal I become much more aware of myself and others.
You are giving to pedestrians and other motorists more of the "time" you believe you might need for more "important things" in your life. Isn't that why we "speed" on the highways? To give ourselves more time for our own pleasures we expect upon getting to our destinations? In slowing down, I'm "donating" my precious moments for the security and well being of others. Shaving off 20 to 30 seconds for some elderly driver is really no sweat for me.
I think that's the message in all of this, Eric. But, who knows? I'm new to this Kabbalah stuff.


It was a good night for gallery hopping Friday night in Pilsen. For those we ran into, so nice to see you!
We were impressed with the installation work of Barbara Hashimoto at the "CS:38" show at 2003 S. Halsted. Not only did she shred junk mail for several weeks to make these tiny mountains of confetti, she photographed people clowning in it. Also she was very gracious in person.
Kind of odd even for us were the actors dressed in all gray monologuing barefoot throughout the gallery. ????
After a glass of wine I finally worked up the nerve to jump in too. You have to.
Earlier that night at Michelle Litvin gallery we enjoyed the truly intelligent, minimal work of Mike Famous and Ben Dallas.
They create pieces not together but pieces that play off each other and are hung to show the balance between the 2 artists.
I like the amount of attention given to such small pieces and the use of space in exhibition.
Mike Famous is the smartly dressed one in the middle. You can't tell but he was wearing the freshest glasses I've seen on a man in awhile. Sort of a half-cream half-woodgrain style. We picked Mike's brain forever only to run into SNL Alum Nora Dunn on the way out. Funny.
It's Fall friends and fashion and art are in the air. This is where we will be this week. And yourself? Well, maybe you can't come to the members only Ladies Lotto event but you definitely should try to check out dope artist Miguel Guzman in Pilsen Friday.
Now that we have recuperated from our Houston visit, here's a little of what went down.
Houston's own Sucker Punch showed some hometown love. Tipping Point too.
A new talent, Antoinette performed her single. Someone tell me the name cause it was dope.
Then there were lots of fashion shows. Too many to post. We see you K. Smith.
Then Christian Rich made a Nicole sandwich. Hopefully they will come home to the Chi soon.
Coordinator of the expo, Crystal of Finest Living rocking Cake from Shrink.
After 6 hours of selling it was margarita time.
We just touched down in Houston for Private Stock Expo, THE shopping event to attend Saturday. Deets(details)below on the flyer. Can't wait to meet everyone involved!
I was just warming up to red states until I ran into everyone's favorite airport bar, Riggers! Yeah yeah I'm sure you're gonna tell me all about the connection to oil drilling blahblahblah. Rigger please.
Nice skyline, view from our room.
Okay I am in love with these trolleys from the future. Very cute for public trans right?
Take a look a this old Eddie stand-up. Funny and historically relevant.

Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition drops characters from across the Zelda series into massive Dynasty Warriors-style battles. The game's story, Legend Mode, has you playing through various story battles as Link and company, stopping the plot of a time-altering witch named Cia. A few of these battles can get pretty complex, in particular, the level, Shining Beacon, has you doing battle in the massive Valley of Seers.
For the battle, you'll need to capture three different sanctums, and the third one, in particular, can be a bit confusing. First off, you'll need to capture the East and West Sanctums. Zelda will head off to capture the one in the east, so grab the West Sanctum then head over to the east. During all of this, you'll want to ensure Lana stays alive. After you capture the first two, Lana should head south and discover the South Sanctum. Just head south and make sure she stays alive, as the base won't appear until it's discovered. There's plenty more battles to be had after you've captured the sanctums, so just follow the objectives and defeat Cia in the end.

If Shane had been asked before the match whether or not he could keep the barrier of slicing shadows around himself while moving, he would have said maybe, if it was a skill he trained and practiced for a while. In the heat of battle, however, he didn't waste time wondering if it was viable or not. Shane simply ran for all he was worth, forcing the shadows to keep up. The result was a barrier that was nowhere near as stable or potent as the one when he stood still, but was at least able to offer some manner of protection. Given the fight he was in, Shane would take any advantage he could.
Breaking out from the corn, Shane stepped into plain view, unsurprised to find Lesley already lining up her shot. If all he did was run, she'd hit him in no time. That was why the shadows around her sprang to life once more, swinging and slicing at Lesley's body. By this point, Shane knew he wasn't going to land a blow with such a casual attack. No, all he wanted to do was keep her on the defensive while she aimed, splitting her attention and making those shots a little less precise. Unfortunately, it was taking a lot of mental effort to attack, defend himself, and race around the field, so he couldn't keep this up forever either.
His best hope was, oddly enough, Lesley's own talent. She was so accurate, so skillful, that most of her fights probably didn't last too long. Either her opponent went down early, or they knew the trick to whatever she was doing and countered it. Whichever way her usual matches went, most shouldn't be drawn out, so Shane had to bet on his endurance being higher than hers. Shane never seemed to get the easy fights. Not against Angela, or Chad, or the professors. Nothing was ever easy for him, he was eternally trapped in second place, fighting with everything he had to make it that little extra bit further.
The first shot missed, barely, as Lesley had to swing to a wide angle as a shadow blade forced her to shift sideways. The second shot, close on the heels of the first, struck the shadow barrier that was trying to keep up with Shane's mad dashing. No doubt about it, Lesley had increased her rate of fire. She knew what he was trying to do, and didn't want to let him wear her down. He didn't stop, however. This was the best chance he had, and she was already two bullets down.
More gunshots rang as Shane weaved in and out of the corn, leaving a trail of slashed stalks behind him. Three, four, five shots down now. Judging by the make and size of the gun, information Shane hadn't understood why his grandfather grilled him on as a child, she was probably working with eight bullets. That meant he was over halfway there. The trouble was, Lesley knew that too, and she suddenly grew much more careful with her next shot.
A rogue shadow blade forced her to dodge slightly at the last moment, that was all that saved Shane. The bullet easily cleared the shadow barrier around him, whizzing past the back of his head so close that Shane could feel the wind from it on his neck. Damn, she was a crazy good shot. If she went sniper like Professor Baker then Lesley would be one of the most dangerous people on the planet.
Wait… why hadn't she gone sniper? Lesley was a Weapons major, not a Ranged Combat one. But with aim like hers, there was no threat she'd ever need to get up close and personal with. Unless there was some reason she couldn't strike from afar. Some aspect of her power that limited that kind of technique.
Shot number seven was cut in two by the shadows, both pieces spinning through the air, past Shane's face. One bullet left now. Jerking to a halt, Shane turned his focus back to the shadow barrier around himself and the attack on Lesley. She wouldn't waste her last bullet, and if he turned his back for even a second she'd use the chance to reload. Lesley and Shane locked eyes across the open stretch of land, nothing between them except some sliced bits of corn stalk drifting on the soft artificial wind. As they stood like that, aware of how much rested on the next move, a small bit of leaf drifted near Lesley's face. Without breaking eye contact, she let out a puff of breath from the side of her mouth, blowing it easily out of the way.
It was impossible to say why that set everything in place for Shane. Perhaps it was the casual indifference, or merely the final piece he needed to finish the puzzle that was Lesley Huber. But in that moment, Shane finally realized he'd been searching the wrong part of his memory for a power like Lesley's. She didn't have a similar ability to one of the Heroes he'd known or studied at all. No, it was actually a wholly different part of his life that Shane found the answer in, one that Angela had dragged him to in spite of their grandfather insisting it was a waste of time.
"If this is you giving up, it's a really long-winded version of it," Lesley pointed out.
The shot rang out, cutting Shane off and nearly hitting him dead center. She'd played along with the conversation to try and lure him into dropping his guard. A good tactic, but one Angela had used up years ago. Shane was still waiting, still ready, and his blades quickened as soon as he saw her hand tighten, slicing the bullet as it drew near. Lesley's eyes widened, just by a hair, as she realized she was either going to have to reload or change weapons. No matter which she picked, there would be a time where she couldn't counter-attack.
He closed his hand into a fist, and suddenly the world grew darker. Lesley was surrounded by blades, all moving, all spinning, a rapidly forming sphere that closed in on her like a demonic blender. For some, it would have taken longer to see the truth, but Lesley could tell at once that she was done. The way the blades were closing in, there was no space to avoid them. This wasn't a move to stop an enemy, or injure them. This was a killing technique, one that would leave nothing behind but diced hunks of meat and bone where once a person had stood. Just when it seemed there was no space left, the blades suddenly came to a sharp halt.
"Deathblow." Shane's voice was a whisper, but even so he knew they could hear him in the viewing room. And he knew how many Heroes had just started thinking of Shane as the kind of Super they could call in when something needed laying waste to. Maybe he'd never be able to completely get away from that. Maybe he would always be called on when wanton destruction was needed. But he could still decide the kind of Hero he was between those moments, and what causes he stepped over the line for. For better or worse, this was part of him, and it was time to stop denying that.
With a thought, Shane dispersed the shadows, revealing an awkwardly posed Lesley standing on one foot, the position she'd been forced into just before the blades stopped. She was perfectly unharmed, although looked quite a bit grumpier than she had at the start of the fight.

Ayo Dosunmu's free throws save Illinois from massive upset, lead to 77-75 victory
Ayo Dosunmu puts up a lay-up in Illinois' game against Ohio on Friday. The Illini won 77-75 to move to 3-0.
With his team down 75-74 and on the verge of an epic upset, Ayo Dosunmu was unfazed. With 7.4 seconds remaining, Dosunmu took the inbound and went coast-to-coast for a layup.
"I knew we were fine," Dosunmu said.
The Chicago native came off a back screen from Da'Monte Williams, used a running start and his blazing speed with the ball to accelerate down the court. He dodged a few defenders and glided through the air for a lay-up.
He couldn't convert, but he got fouled with 2.3 seconds remaining. Dosunmu stepped to the line, and as he's done many times in his Illini career, swished two clutch free throws, and Illinois regained the lead.
The Bobcats ensuing inbounds was stolen by Trent Frazier, who got fouled and made one of two free throws. Ohio missed a full-court heave and the Illini escaped 77-75 on Friday at State Farm Center.
"When you're down one, you never want to settle," Dosunmu said. "I tried to put pressure on the rim. That's what I lift weights for. I tried to get there and get a good shot for our team and help us win the game."
For the first time this season, Illinois was on the receiving end of the first punch. The Bobcats took an early 13-9 lead on a Jason Preston three from the top of the key. The Illini would storm back, though. Freshman guard Andre Curbelo, banked in a trey and Illinois led 21-19. Then, Dosunmu scored seven of nine Illinois points and the lead ballooned to 30-21.
Unlike Wednesday and Thursday's opponents, the Bobcats would not back down. Rather, they went on their own 10-0 run capped by a Preston transition three and Brad Underwood took a timeout with his team trailing 31-30. The Illini would take a 35-34 lead into the half.
The Illini extended their lead to 58-53 on three consecutive Dosunmu to Cockburn dump-offs and it appeared the Illini would pull away. However, Preston would not let the Bobcats fall apart. He hit Ben Vander Plas for a pick-and-pop three, then scored on consecutive floaters and assisted a lob, and the score was knotted at 63.
Ohio was up 71-68 after Preston got to the free-throw line and made one of two. But Illinois did not panic. Dosunmu drove to the rim and missed, but got his own rebound, and relocated for a wing three, which he drained to tie the game. Preston however countered with a perfectly placed lob pass over the head of Giorgi Bezhanishvili to Dwight Wilson, to give the Bobcats a 73-71 with 35 seconds remaining.
Illinois responded. A Dosunmu-Cockburn pick-and-roll resulted in Frazier being open on the wing. Frazier attacked the closeout, got into the paint, and found Da'Monte Williams wide open on the wing. Williams, who shot just 28.3% from the three, calmly stepped into his shot and swished it, giving Illinois the lead back at 74-73, with 33 seconds remaining. Earlier in the game, Williams passed up an open three from Dosunmu, and Dosunmu let him know about it.
"Come on Monte," Dosunmu said to Williams. "You're a great shooter. I've seen you put the work in each and every day. Be ready to shoot."
So when Williams was open on the wing late in the game, he was ready.
But Preston was not done trying to will the Bobcats to victory. They tried to run another pick-and-roll, but Dosunmu fought through it and stuck with Preston. Preston backed Dosunmu down, picked up his dribble in the mid-paint, and faded away, draining the shot over the Illini star to give the Bobcats one final lead. But ultimately, like a quarterback in a late-game scenario, Dosunmu got the ball last and made the Bobcats pay.
Dosunmu led the Illini once again with 27 points and seven rebounds. Cockburn and Williams added double-doubles in the victory with 13 points and 14 rebounds and 11 points and 10 rebounds, respectively. Freshman Adam Miller had another double-digit scoring game with 11 points.
Despite the win, Ohio exposed some flaws that the Illini have. The Bobcats consistently found success in the high pick-and-roll against Cockburn and Bezhanishvili, while also only turning the ball over seven times. Conversely, Illinois turned the ball over 16 times. They made only six of their 15 attempts from three and missed nine free throws.
"I'm extremely frustrated with our turnovers," head coach Brad Underwood said. "That's something we gotta get out of our system. And they are mental."
The schedule doesn't get any easier as Illinois will travel to Indianapolis for the Jimmy V Classic on Tuesday to take on No. 2 Baylor. The game is at 9 p.m. central time and can be watched on ESPN.

A startup performance nutrition consultancy turned to Studio PFG for a simple brochure site.
When Kylie Gamelier started Volition Performance Nutrition, she explored multiple options for her website needs to include local freelancers, small agencies and Studio PFG by ProFromGo. Since we were starting from scratch, Kylie was aware she'd need to provide the written content along with some nice photography for the project to be a success.
ProFromGo helped guide Kylie through each step of her website planning journey, which in effect, helped her organize her service offerings and descriptions during the process. Kylie was able to find a local photographer to create some great imagery for use in the website. Team PFG built out a simple Studio PFG brochure-style website and trained Kylie to completely take over management of all content moving forward.

The Detroit Lions signed tight end Luke Willson, formerly of the Seattle Seahawks, to a 1-year, $2.5 million contract.
Willson will take over as the Lions' new number-one tight end, following Eric Ebron's release and Darren Fells departure to the Cleveland Browns. The 28-year-old tight end never saw more than 40 targets in Seattle but he should see more opportunity in Detroit.
Willson averaged 3.6 FanDuel points last season, with 15 (22 targets) catches for 153 yards and 4 touchdowns.


It was definitely a first world problem. Still at school when I wanted to be at home, I was printing off tests for the following day. The lovely printer (that a couple years ago I found incredible because it could print double-sided, staple, and three-hole punch documents) was now testing my patience.
The printer would spit out a few copies, stop, and then flash a message saying that it had a paper jam. I opened the main compartment, pulled out three pieces of paper in various stages of the printing process, and forcefully closed the panel. Then I opened a lower paper tray and pulled out another piece of crumpled paper. The printer resumed its job.
For a couple copies at least. Then the process repeated itself. I was tired and wanted to be at home, not fixing paper jam after paper jam on a printer. Generally, I consider myself to be a fairly patient person. But this was testing my resolve. I needed just a few more copies before the job was completed, and I didn't want to spend my time throwing away crumpled pieces of paper.
So, Lord, what can you be teaching me in this?

Cat's Eyes - Cat's Eyes
I picked this up after reading some interviews and some glowing reviews that constantly mentioned the influence of Phil Spector, Shangri Las and Joe Meek on Cat's Eyes, a side-project of Faris Badwan of The Horrors. The Horrors I can take or leave, but this collaboration featuring the classically trained Rachel Zeffira goes way beyond the touchstones of the girl group sound straining into a darker more experimental sound.
From the lone opening piano chord lifted from the Shangri-Las 'Leader of the Pack', 'Cat's Eyes' lurches straight into swirling sixties psychedelic pop. And it gets better. The winsome 'The Best Person I Know', couched in sugary Carpenters strings and haunting soft-sighing aahs, captures the simple naivety of the best of the sixties girl group sound with some unexpected electronic wooshing, as way out as any production from the RGM studio on London's Holloway Road. Zeffira, though operatically trained, opts for a purer more restrained pop approach here. It works perfectly. On 'I'm Not Stupid', her forlorn voice is wrapped in soft cooing over gentle piano and orchestral arrangements as she wistfully ruminates on her shortcomings in the looks department. With its sixties organ, clockwork rhythm and weeping strings 'Not A Friend' stands as a wonderful counterpoint to The Paris Sisters' 'My Best Friend'.
The garage pop-rock of 'Face In The Crowd' takes on a Nancy and Lee call and response structure with Badwan the roaming male and Zeffira the put-upon downtrodden girlfriend. The entire thing is riddled with twangy guitars and Zeffira's honeyed seductive tones. Cat's Eyes know their reference points and work them wonderfully into this side-project.
Things take a darker turn on 'Bandit', the protagonist cast as a philanderer as deadly as a gunman, with horns, a snaking eastern motif and Morricone-styled whistling. It plummets further on 'Sooner Or Later', with an almost Tracy Pew floor scraping bass and Badwan's Nick Cave lite drawls. With dirgey drones cut through with slicing strings it's like listening to Andrew Poppy orchestrated Psychic TV crossed with the Birthday Party.
The up-tempo 'Over You' is a glorious mixture of the Poppy Family, John Barry and Saint Etienne before 'I Knew It Was Over' wraps up the album with a melancholic piano score and the emotive touches of Faris Badwan draped in Zeffira's angelic swoons.
Cat's Eyes have done a sterling job in making it all sound so simple but scratch the surface here and you'll discover this eponymous album is packed with exquisite arrangements - it's really not the Phil Spector Wall of Sound production that others have hinted at - that draw upon the haunting aspects of those early sixties productions but ultimately these are love songs mixed with experimental touches. The fact that you can read this as a pop album is a testament to their song writing prowess that successfully distils the more obscure and difficult aspects into a more palatable form.
Cat's Eyes really share an affinity with Spell, the collaboration between experimental noise artist Boyd Rice and Rose McDowall (of Sorrow and Strawberry Switchblade fame), which itself looked to the girl group sound and sixties songs of love and death, written by Joe Meek, Nancy and Lee, Priscilla Paris, Rod McKuen, Jacques Brel and Terry Jacks amongst others. Even Zeffira's vocal tones and accompaniment are very reminiscent of McDowall's bittersweet voice. If you know Spell's Seasons In The Sun you'll love this, and conversely if you enjoy this you'll love the Spell release. Cat's Eyes orchestral girl group sound is certainly a surprise and an unexpected gem. For more information go to catseyesmusic.com

A new lense
by The Pirates Hook
Photography changed Isaac Baker's world
At the age of thirteen Issac Baker realized that photography was more than just a hobby. It was a passion.
"What makes me interested in photography is being able to share your perspective on life through images with others who might not be able to see the things you see, or experience the things you experience," Baker said.
After he noticed that his dad and his grandfather were both into photography he started to take it in even more.
"My dad has like 10 or so printed photographs from his international travels, and having those images around my house along with his massive old school map gave me an ideal vision of what I could eventually pursue in life." Baker said. "I haven't seen a lot of my grandfather's photos, but I do make use of some of his gear when I work with film cameras. My neck strap for example, is an item of his that I cherish."
With both his father and his grandfather being entertainers they had the opportunity to travel nationally and internationally through their work.
"One of my favorite things are the black and white photos my dad has taken, framed, and hung around his house," Baker said. "So in a way, you could say this was inherited. But it was a hobby I found that helped me define myself, and it still does."
His passion forced him to make a hard decision during his junior year. Baker decided to leave the engineering program in order to free up his schedule to take more photography classes.
"I didn't feel like I'd ever want to pursue some sort of engineering career." Baker said. "And even though I didn't enjoy the engineering program and chose to drop out, I think I would've had it a lot harder if it weren't for the friendships I made."
In addition to giving him another interest, photography also introduced Baker to a different environment. "I think [photography teacher Jon] Twietmeyer and the dynamics within the class just pushed for us to stay motivated and committed to our artistic endeavors," Baker said.
"Signing up for photography really gave me a community that appreciated me, pushed, and nurtured me," he said. "If I hadn't chosen to take photography, I would've missed out on relationships and friendships I cherish every day."
His interest in photography coincided with a desire to spend more time outdoors. One of his biggest accomplishments is finishing a 50-mile hiking trip in five days.
After taking photography his sophomore and junior year he wasn't able to take it this year due to Twietmeyer leaving Riverside during the fall semester, but that won't stop him from taking it along with him after high school. He plans to attend college, likely Durham Tech, as well as visit Japan and go on a biking and/or camping trip while carrying his camera and taking pictures of everything.
Baker said he's motivated by himself, others and God. His mother has also played a big role in his life.
"She's really helped me build a strong relationship with God through raising me in the Episocopal church," he said.
He struggles to find the words to describe how it feels to finish his last year of high school.
"I still can't comprehend it!" he said. "It's always felt like a few years away but now that it's here, it's just hit me like a truck. Looking into the far future, I can't wait to share the photos I take now with my kids or people who weren't alive at the time."
