Meet This Artist: Guitar maker Terry McInturff
The Chatham Arts Council is investing in artists through our Meet This Artist series, introducing you to 12 Chatham County artists each year in a big way.
The fine folks at Hobbs Architects in downtown Pittsboro are powering our Meet This Artist series this year. Architecture is art, and the Hobbs crew values art in our community.
Take a look. Meet your very inspiring neighbors. Meet This Artist.
If you've never thought of guitar making as an art form, you've likely never met Terry McInturff and talked with him about the artful process of making a guitar. This humble yet venerated artist in the music industry has been making custom guitars for decades, with a client roster that includes Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Marshall Crenshaw. We got a chance to talk with Terry recently about his career, his famous guitars, the changing landscape of Siler City's art scene, and what the future holds for him. We invite you to learn more about this multifaceted artist.
Tell me a little bit about yourself.
I'm 63 years old and I'm just about to start my 43rd year as a full time guitar maker. I live in Sanford, but my shop is part of the NC Arts Incubator in Siler City. I also have an 18 year old son who is about to graduate high school and then join the Marine Corps in October.
I grew up in a Chicago suburb. I did not have a musical family but certainly had a musical environment. Rock and roll was a phenomenally powerful social force when I was coming of age in the late 60s and early 70s. Every kid had a radio, but it struck home with some of us a little heavier than with others, I suppose. It was a time of great societal change, and rock music was the music we marched to, so to speak.
How did you get into the guitar making business?
When it came time to graduate high school, I really had no idea what I wanted to do until I read an article in Guitar Player magazine about a guitar building school. A huge light bulb went off in my head. With a lot of help from my mom and dad, I attended a four month guitar making course at a school in Phoenix, Arizona. You can't really learn how to build guitars in four months, but it was a start. Guitars have paid my bills ever since.
My first job was at a music store on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill called Oxbow Music, which is no longer there. I was hired as a guitar repairman, barely qualified. But that's when my real education began. I graduated from the little course in December of 1977 and January 9th, 1978 was my first day on the job.
How did you segue from repairing guitars to making custom guitars?
I constantly had guitar builds going on while I was doing repair work. I started being able to sell my early works to UNC and Duke students, as well as other local people. I do miss the repair days. Every guitar, bass, banjo, acoustic guitar, mandolin, was different. Each had a different story, and of course the people did too. I'm a people person so I miss that amount of personal contact. The vast majority of the clients who buy my work now are from out of town so I never get to meet them in person.
Have you ever had a famous client?
I've been doing this for almost 43 years, so that was bound to happen. I've worked with Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin, Brad Woodford from Aerosmith, Dave Hidalgo from Los Lobos, Marshall Crenshaw, Brad Delson from Linkin Park . . . those are the ones who stand out in my mind. It was pretty wild; as my reputation started to spread, word got around. The guitar industry is actually a smaller community than a lot of people would think. I worked with a lot of people doing high end touring, playing the big places like Walnut Creek. Word gets around amongst the guitar techs.
What makes your guitars unique?
I'm somewhat known for being able to take inspiration from some of the best design elements of the groundbreaking guitar designs of the 1950s and early 1960s and inject what I see as improvements. I also have some proprietary electronic circuits that I use. It's hard for me to talk about myself without sounding boastful, but it's like building on a Ferrari level, I suppose. Not that everybody needs to drive a Ferrari — a good old Ford or Chevy is also fine. You can buy a factory made, mass produced guitar and it will be a perfectly usable guitar for sure. But some people just want to drive a Ferrari. So I build those kinds of guitars, one at a time for clients. It's like a custom made suit.
What's the process like when you're designing a custom guitar?
The main objective is to identify the sound that the client wants. Sometimes they need a little bit of guidance to narrow down what they're looking for because talking about sound is difficult. I think it was Frank Zappa who said, "talking about sound is like dancing about architecture."
To start, I assign them a little homework to help me hear their musical imagination. Once I determine what sounds they are hearing in their musical imagination, I can then choose the materials and get to work on building the sound for them. It's a little different today than it used to be. 20 years ago I had a team of 10 people and we were selling and building up to 10 guitars a week. I like it better now that I can work totally on my own and build everything from raw lumber, from scratch. It's very rewarding.
What difference does the type of wood make?
The wood that's used really does determine how the string can or cannot vibrate. There are other design elements too, but the wood has a vital role in determining what the acoustical resonant response of the guitar will be. Even though it's an electric guitar, it really does all start with the wood because the electronics cannot invent any frequencies; they can only interpret what they are given. My job is to build a guitar that has the right resonant characteristics before it's ever plugged in because those built in resonant characteristics dictate what the guitar can or cannot do.
Does the design process change for different musical genres? For example, would the design process be different for a folk singer like Joni Mitchell than it would be for a hard rocker like Jimmy Page?
Not necessarily. It's really about what the musician wants to achieve and what role this new instrument will play in the lineup of his or her other guitars. How are they going to use it? What are they hearing in their head in terms of the sound they're looking for?
People will surprise you sometimes, too. Sometimes an artist will call me up and I will mentally pigeonhole them as being associated with a certain type of guitar. But then they'll surprise me by asking for something I wouldn't have guessed. Brilliant musicians tend to be a lot more versatile than we sometimes believe.
Any interesting client stories?
I can think of one person. The band King Crimson was really popular back in the 1970s; they were credited as being one of the founding fathers of progressive rock music. The leader of King Crimson is a guy named Robert Fripp. I remember getting a fax from him–this was back about 2002 when people were still faxing. In fact, I never spoke to the man. The entire process was done by fax. He had no interest in speaking to me at all, which was very strange. He's a very, shall we say, unique personality. The guitar that he commissioned me to build for him was something that would have been very appropriate for him earlier in his career. But he's one of those incredibly creative people who does one style of art for a while and then gets tired of it, or figures he's done everything he can do so he changes his art, and is amazingly just as expert at the new version.
Why do you have a recording studio as part of your shop?
I couldn't design unique guitars the way that I do without my recording studio. It's important for research and design on prototype McInturff guitars and I can do all kinds of electronic testing to buttress what my ears are already telling me. As I develop a prospective new model, I'll go through a prototyping phase. Sometimes there'll be some blind alleys that don't work out, of course, but the recording studio allows me to keep a very accurate record of sound frequency response. I can use all sorts of things to test portions of a guitar to see what the primary resonant characteristics are and I can actually have a digital readout of the frequency response.
I also love to record music. I'm slowly working on what will eventually turn out to be an album, at which point I will be calling in the troops to help me record my songs.
Did you ever play in a band?
Oh gosh, yeah. I've been playing guitar since 1969. I'm not currently with anybody right now. I was really active in the alternative rock scene in the Triangle. We didn't really know what to call it back then. The terms "punk rock" and "new wave" began to be bandied around by people. I played in a number of bands and I look forward to doing that again. If it hadn't been for that experience, I wouldn't be nearly as good a guitar maker as I am right now because onstage experience is pretty irreplaceable. You get to know what the music industry is about. It was an irreplaceable part of my education.
How did you end up in Chatham County?
I used to have a much larger facility in the Holly Springs industrial park. When the economy crashed in 2001, I was selling my guitars through a dealer network all over the country and in some foreign countries as well. Starting in late 2001, we started getting massive cancellations of orders because the economy was bad. No matter how wealthy somebody is, when the market's doing very badly, they're going to postpone paying $7,000 for another guitar. These poor music stores were only able to sell accessories like drumsticks or guitar strings and cheap guitars, but not high end guitars. So we got cancellation after cancellation, which put me in a very difficult situation. I had a high rent shop to maintain, so I was forced to lay off personnel. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
But then, just at the right time, this gentleman from Siler City, Leon Tongret, knocked at my door. He told me about the new North Carolina Arts Incubator that he was trying to open up in Siler City. The goal was to provide an affordable studio for a worthy artist, help them get into business, and grow an art community around it. They supplied me with the shop space that I'm still in. I've been here for 17 years, which is the longest that anybody's been affiliated with the NC Arts Incubator. I've seen the whole thing grow up and it's been amazing to watch. It's a wonderful community, and I've made some great friends.
I've also enjoyed throwing the annual street party in Siler City called Coup D'etat. I named it that because it kind of takes over the town. I don't know if I'm going to be able to do it this year because of the virus situation, but if things look safe come September, it will be my sixth annual street party. We have beer trucks, food trucks, the galleries are all open, and there are bands playing all afternoon and late into the night. It's been a lot of fun. I would volunteer a lot more actually, but one of my life responsibilities is caring for my 93 year old mother. She's awesome.
How do you think the art scene in Siler City has evolved since you've been there?
When I first opened up the shop in Siler City 17 years ago, there was very little traffic in this neighborhood. A vast majority of the storefronts were empty. Every morning I'd drive up here to the intersection and there'd be this old brown hound dog sleeping in the middle of the street. He wasn't in any danger because there wasn't any traffic. We'd play the same game every morning. I'd blow my horn, he'd look up with his long ears hanging down, haul himself up on his feet, and slowly wander down the road. That dog wouldn't survive five minutes these days.
Now there's a ton of traffic. Well, plenty of traffic by comparison. We have a number of art galleries in the area and quite a few artists in residence here in all different mediums — potters, weavers, painters, sculptors, etc. It's just been an amazing thing, to watch it grow.
I read that one of your other hobbies is building telescopes?
Yes, one of my hobbies is amateur astronomy. I've been interested in amateur astronomy since I was about 12 years old, which was right around the time when we were right in the middle of all the moon landings and everything. I love getting out there under the stars and looking at things that are millions of light years away. It's just peaceful, meditative, and interesting. I eventually got into building telescopes because I like to build things.
What do you think the future holds for you?
Gosh, I don't know, man. There's a whole list of things I haven't accomplished yet. I look forward to doing more teaching and I would like to write a book. I've gotten a lot of requests over the years to write a book and it's getting harder to say no. But I don't really know anything about publishing so I don't know if the book will ever happen. I'm also learning how to do proper online videos and looking into expanding my proprietary line of guitar accessories. I will never retire.

Michael Gardner says
Terry and I have been friends for decades. I was lucky enough to have him do some repair work that needed a real expert. He and I and a group of wonderful people including Robert Kearns Kenny Soule and Audley freed went to a NAMM Show together. One of the most fun times I've ever had not playing. He's one heck of a brilliant man with a great sense of humor and a smile to go with it

Recreational Anglers Will Receive the Longest Red Snapper Season in Recent Years
380news | May 20, 2018 | Texas
HOUSTON, TX – Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) have agreed upon a modified version of the Red Snapper Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP), securing a red snapper season for 2018.

Fool's Gold Has Tiny Specks of Gold in It After All
by Tai Gooden
Jun 29 2021 • 9:32 AM
They don't call it "fool's gold" for no reason. Pyrite looks like gold to the average person; however, nature is full of scams. Things are never quite what they seem in this world. Just imagine the frustration during the gold rush era. You think you have a piece of the good stuff and a chance to get rich quick. But its only a piece of pyrite, which looks pretty but isn't as valuable. And it appears that pyrite is still playing games with humanity. A recent research study reveals a new truth: there is gold in pyrite after all.
This revelation, which we first learned about via Gizmodo, comes from an Australian-Chinese research team who found small specks of gold in some pyrite. Small enough that they can only be seen with an atom probe. This means the unassisted eye cannot see it, therefore we as a collective are not that big of fools after all. The team's findings came to light in Geology with one researcher saying that this is essentially "invisible gold" that appears in nanoscale crystal defects.
The research pyrite hails from Jiangnan, China, from an area where tectonic plates came together about a billon years ago. The material was pressed together, leading to minuscule imperfections. Pieces of gold got into these crevices among the rest of its typical material, iron and sulfur. There's still a lot to learn because of this new information. What other secrets lie within pyrite? Will it lie to us once again? Who knows. One thing is for sure: it makes us as a collective feel a lot less foolish.
So there's no need to grab a shovel and head out to find blocks of pyrite. You'll only end up looking for something that may not be there or you cannot see—just like a fool.

Бром (Br) — хімічний елемент з атомним номером 35, що належить до галогенів і утворює однойменну просту речовину Br2, червоно-буру рідину з різким запахом.

Кларк брому 1,6·10−4% за масою. Він проявляє валентність від 1 до 7. Молекула брому двоатомна (формула Br2).

Історія

Бром добув французький хімік Антуан-Жером Балар у 1826 році з морських водоростей. Промислове виробництво почалося з 1860 року.

Походження назви
Назву запропонував Жозеф Луї Гей-Люссак, яка походить від  — сморід (сморід цапа).

Поширення в природі

Бром поширений у природі і в розсіяному стані зустрічається повсюдно. Майже всі сполуки брому розчиняються у воді і тому він легко вилуговується з гірських порід. Як домішка, він присутній в сотнях мінералів. Але є лише невелика кількість нерозчинних у воді мінералів — галогенідів срібла і міді. Найвідоміший з них — бромаргірит AgBr. Інші мінерали — йодоброміт Ag(Br, Cl, I), емболіт Ag(Cl, Br). Власних мінералів брому мало ще й тому, що його йонний радіус дуже великий і йон брому не може надійно закріпитися в кристалічній решітці інших елементів, разом з катіонами середніх розмірів. У накопиченні брому основну роль відіграють процеси випаровування океанічної води, в результаті чого він накопичується як в рідкій, так і у твердій фазах. Найбільші концентрації відзначаються в кінцевих маткових розсолах. У гірських породах бром присутній головним чином у вигляді йонів, які мігрують разом з ґрунтовими водами. Частина земного брому пов'язана в організмах рослин у складні і здебільшого нерозчинні органічні сполуки. Деякі рослини активно накопичують бром. Це в першу чергу бобові — горох, квасоля, сочевиця, а також морські водорості. У морі зосереджена велика частина брому. Є він і у воді солоних озер, і в підземних водоносних пластах, супутніх родовищам горючих копалин, а також калійних солей і кам'яної солі. Є бром і в атмосфері, причому вміст цього елементу в повітрі приморських районів завжди більше, ніж в районах з континентальним кліматом.

Як вихідна сировина для виробництва брому служать:
 Морська вода (65 мг/л)
 Розсоли соляних озер
 Підземні води нафтових і газових родовищ

Отримання
Мінерали: бромаргірит AgBr, емболіт Ag(Cl, Br). У природі бром знаходиться в розсіяному стані, супутник хлору. Легко вилуговується. Міститься у морській воді (0,065 % за масою), розсолах соляних озер (до 0,2 %), підземних розсолах, пов'язаних з соляними і нафтовими родовищами. Ізоморфні домішки брому є в кам'яній солі, сильвіні, карналіті, бішофіті.

Промислово бром отримують окисленням бромідів хлором. Джерелом бромідів служить морська вода:

 2 Br− + Cl2 → 2 Cl− + Br2

В лабораторії добувають дією сірчаної кислоти на бромід в присутності MnO2 та нагріванні:

 NaBr (тв) + H2SO4 (aq) → HBr (aq) + NaHSO4 (aq)

 2 HBr (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) → Br2 (г) + SO2 (г) + 2 H2O (р)

Хімічні властивості
Бром належить до головної підгрупи сьомої групи періодичної системи. Маючи в зовнішньому електронному шарі сім електронів, його атоми легко віднімають валентні електрони від атомів інших елементів і перетворюються в негативно одновалентні іони Br−. Цим самим проявляються його різко виражені окисні властивості.

Реакції з неметалами
Бром реагує з воднем: Br2+Н2 → 2HBr
Не реагує з киснем, але відомі його оксиди отримані іншими шляхами: Дає сполуки з фтором

Реакції зі складними неорганічними сполуками
 3Br2+ 3H2O = HBrO3+ 5HBr

Реакції з органічними сполуками

Заміщення
Алкани реагують із бромом при нагріванні, реакція проходить по радикальному механізму:

CH3-CH3 + Br2 → C2H6−xBrx + HBr.

Ароматичні сполуки реагують по іонному механізму, в присутності каталізаторів (напр. AlBr3):
 C6H6 + Br2 → C6H5Br + HBr
Фенол бромується в водному розчині й без каталізатора. Кетони бромуються набагато легше за відповідні алкани:

Ph-CO-CH2-CH3 + Br2 -H+→ Ph-CO-CHBr-CH3 + HBr

Приєднання
Бром приєднується по подвійному зв'язку алкенів: CH2=CH2 + Br2 → Br-CH2-CH2-Br

Окиснення
З оксигеном в реакцію не вступає.

Застосування
Застосовують бром і його сполуки у фотографії (як світлочутлива речовина), медицині (як заспокійливий засіб), виробництві барвників, виробництві зброї (у часи Першої світової війни для виробництва бойових отруйних речовин), у техніці (як потужний окислювач ракетного палива, як інсектициди і пестициди), в нафтовидобутку тощо.

Біологічна роль
Препарати брому діють заспокійливо на організм людини. Бром і його пара сильно токсичні. Вже при вмісті брому в повітрі в концентрації близько 0,001 % (за об'ємом) спостерігається подразнення слизових оболонок, запаморочення, носові кровотечі, а при вищих концентраціях — спазми дихальних шляхів, задуха.

Особливості роботи
При роботі з бромом слід користуватися захисним спецодягом, протигазом, спеціальними рукавичками. Через високу хімічну активність і токсичність, як парів брому, так і рідкого брому його слід зберігати в скляній, щільно закупореній товстостінній посудині. Склянки з бромом розташовують у ємностях з піском, який охороняє склянки від руйнування при струшуванні. Через високу густину брому склянки з ним в жодному разі не можна брати тільки за горло (горло може відірватися, і тоді бром виявиться на підлозі). По реакції, зазначеної нижче, доцільно посипати протоки карбонатом натрію:

3Br2 + 3Na2CO3 → 5NaBr + NaBrO3+ 3CO2↑,

або вологою харчовою содою:

6NaHCO3+3Br2=NaBrO3+5NaBr+6CO2+3H2O.

Однак реакція елементарного брому з содою носить сильно екзотермічний характер, що веде до збільшення випаровування брому, до того ж виділювана вуглекислота також сприяє випаровуванню, тому користуватися вищеописаними методами не рекомендується. Найкраще для дегазації брому підходить водний розчин тіосульфату натрію Na2S2O3. Для локалізації великих проливів брому можна використовувати розчин тіосульфату натрію з добавками піноутворюючих речовин і аеросилу. Цей же розчин (3—5 % тіосульфат натрію) використовується для змочування ватно-марлевих пов'язок, які допомагають захистити органи дихання від парів брому.

Міф
Існує легенда, буцімто в їжу для військовослужбовців (при виробництві крохмалю, який відправляли на військові склади) додають бромовмісні речовини для зменшення тяги чоловіків до жінок і зниження потенції. Проте бром має лише заспокійливу дію, і якби це було справді так, то смак їжі був би відчутно солоним.

Poetry is not as complicated as those who study (and in turn teach) literature might have you believe. Sometimes it's just the best way to express a certain ache of the heart, the inaccuracy of genetics and the expression of soul. Comment there, comment here. Do the thing.

The wahoo and the cobia are each fantastic taking in fish from the warm waters of the ocean. The wahoo from Hawaiian waters and the cobia from the Atlantic.
Mainly because of its very long modern physique with a form comparable to a torpedo, the Wahoo is just one of the fastest fish in the ocean achieving speeds of up to 75 miles for each hour. It is related to the tuna and the mackerel and can be uncovered in tropical and subtropical waters in the course of the entire world. It is also uncovered less than the names of kink fish, peto and the most typical just one staying, ono, which is the Hawaiian word which signifies great to consume. It is believed that the title Wahoo came from the island title Oahu, the place the fish is plentiful. The Wahoo has very smaller scales with a significant mouth and very sharp tooth. It is iridescent blue with silver sides and has blue vertical bars that extend the size of the fish. It is a colourful fish, but like the mahi mahi, it fades in coloration very quickly soon after demise. It seems very comparable to the barracuda although the barracuda has larger tooth and larger scales. The Wahoo is vital as a activity fish mainly because of its speed and fantastic flavor but is not as vital commercially. The vast majority of the marketed fish comes from the Hawaii location. It is a quickly rising fish and common catches range from 8 to 30 lbs but it has been acknowledged to get to 180 lbs and in excess of 8 feet in size. The Wahoo has a white to light-gray coloured meat that is lean, sensitive in texture and moderate in taste. The ideal way to cook dinner Wahoo is to bake, broil, grill, sauté, pan fry, oven fry or poach.
A rather new entry into the U.S fish industry, the cobia is uncovered in warm waters in the course of the entire world and in U.S. waters on the Atlantic coast. It has a slender physique with a flat head and a protruding reduce jaw. It is a dark brown with a white belly and a dark stripe from the eye to the tail. It has a sleek skin with smaller scales and has been acknowledged to get to 150 lbs and 78 inches in size. Cobia can be uncovered less than several regional names with some of the additional typical ones staying black king fish, ling and lemon fish. Mainly because of their sizing and fantastic tasting meat they are prized by sports fisherman. They do not journey in significant faculties so their commercial value is just not as fantastic. Mainly because of this, the vast majority of cobia on the industry is farmed in Asia, Panama, Mexico and just lately the United States. It can increase to in excess of 10 lbs in the first yr which can make its future in fish farms very promising. Cobia meat is light tan and turns snow-white with cooking. It has a abundant sweet taste with a flavor in comparison to mahi mahi and an oil material in comparison to salmon. The ideal way to prepare cobia is to bake, broil, grill, sauté or poach.

An analysis of recent meditation research and suggestions for future directions (2003, Journal Article)

Abstract Meditation offers a rich and complex field of study. Over the past 40 years, several hundred research studies have demonstrated numerous significant findings including changes in psychological, physiological, and transpersonal realms. This paper attempts to summarize these findings, and to review more recent meditation research. We then suggest directions for future research, emphasizing the necessity to continue to expand the paradigm from which meditation research is conducted, from a predominantly re‐ductionistic, biomedical model to one which includes subjective and transpersonal domains and an integral perspective.

On becoming aware: a pragmatics of experiencing (2003, Book)
Natalie Depraz,
Francisco J. Varela,
P. Vermersch

Drawing its main source of inspiration from a naturalized interpretation of Husserlian phenomenology, On Becoming Aware: A Pragmatics of Experiencing attempts to examine closely the nature of experience and how we may become aware of our own mental life. The authors also focus on how this project fits into the larger context of cognitive science, psychology, neurosciences, and philosophy. Additional partners in the effort to better understand experience are the contemplative systems of the world's spiritual or wisdom traditions, including particularly that of Buddhism. The book includes three separate glossaries of technical terms in phenomenology, the cognitive sciences, and Tibetan Buddhism. The book On Becoming Aware seeks a disciplined and practical approach to exploring human experience. While much of the book draws its inspiration from the phenomenological theories of Husserl, other approaches to the direct study of experience are also explored in depth. One of these approaches is embodied by the world's spiritual or wisdom or contemplative traditions such as Sufism, Buddhism, the Philokalia tradition, and others. Collectively, these traditions have come upon a variety of their own insights and methods for understanding experience, or, to use words from the phenomenological tradition, has developed its own ways of phenomenological reduction Amongst the various wisdom traditions, the authors focus mainly on Buddhism. The authors give an introduction to Buddhist theory and history, followed by an in-depth discussion of the Buddhist contemplative practices of mindfulness, śamatha, vipaśyanā, tonglen (gtong len), lojong (blo sbyong), dzokchen (rdzogs chen), and mahāmudrā. The authors then relate this discussion to themes from philosophy and phenomenology explored earlier in the book, paricularly Husserl's concept of épochè. (Zach Rowinski 2005-01-17) Publisher's description: This book searches for the sources and means for a disciplined practical approach to exploring human experience. The spirit of this book is pragmatic and relies on a Husserlian phenomenology primarily understood as a method of exploring our experience. The authors do not aim at a neo-Kantian a priori 'new theory' of experience but instead they describe a concrete activity: how we examine what we live through, how we become aware of our own mental life. The range of experiences of which we can become aware is vast: all the normal dimensions of human life (perception, motion, memory, imagination, speech, everyday social interactions), cognitive events that can be precisely defined as tasks in laboratory experiments (e.g., a protocol for visual attention), but also manifestations of mental life more fraught with meaning (dreaming, intense emotions, social tensions, altered states of consciousness). The central assertion in this work is that this immanent ability is habitually ignored or at best practiced unsystematically, that is to say, blindly. Exploring human experience amounts to developing and cultivating this basic ability through specific training. Only a hands-on, non-dogmatic approach can lead to progress, and that is what animates this book.

Buddhist Modernism and the Rhetoric of Meditative Experience (Journal Article)
Robert H. Sharf
The category "experience" has played a cardinal role in modern studies of Buddhism. Few scholars seem to question the notion that Buddhist monastic practice, particularly meditation, is intended first and foremost to inculcate specific religious or "mystical" experiences in the minds of practitioners. Accordingly, a wide variety of Buddhist technical terms pertaining to the "stages on the path" are subject to a phenomenological hermeneutic-they are interpreted as if they designated discrete "states of consciousness" experienced by historical individuals in the course of their meditative practice. This paper argues that the role of experience in the history of Buddhism has been greatly exaggerated in contemporary scholarship. Both historical and ethnographic evidence suggests that the privileging of experience may well be traced to certain twentieth-century Asian reform movements, notably those that urge a "return" to zazen or vipassanā meditation, and these reforms were profoundly influenced by religious developments in the West. Even in the case of those contemporary Buddhist schools that do unambiguously exalt meditative experience, ethnographic data belies the notion that the rhetoric of meditative states functions ostensively. While some adepts may indeed experience "altered states" in the course of their training, critical analysis shows that such states do not constitute the reference points for the elaborate Buddhist discourse pertaining to the "path." Rather, such discourse turns out to function ideologically and performatively-wielded more often than not in the interests of legitimation and institutional authority.

Business Ethics through Meditation: The Ethical 'I,' the Ethical 'You,' the Ethical 'We' (1999, Journal Article)
Paul La Forge

Environmentalists have been criticizing the ethics of business people concerning the natural environment. Citing Thomas Berry as an example, this paper attempts to bring his three abstract values (presence, subjectivity, and communion) closer to the understanding of the average business person through meditation. The introduction describes business ethics in terms of relationships to the individual, or the ethical 'I' to the natural environment, or the ethical 'You' and to interpersonal relationships, or the ethical 'We.' Meditation is also defined, according to Webster's Third New International Dictionary (1986), as a meditative experience together with a period of reflection and small-group discussion. More specifically, meditation takes on three forms. Part one describes nondiscursive meditation in the context of what Berry means by presence. The problem addressed here is how to meet and cultivate the ethical 'I.' Part two will deal with semidiscursive meditation in the context of what Berry means by subjectivity, or the ethical 'I' in relation to the earth. The earth then becomes the ethical 'You.' Part three will deal with Berry's definition of communion, or the ethical 'We.' The practice of discursive meditation gradually leads to what Thomas Berry calls a renewed 'visionary experience.' The article concludes with a redefinition of business ethics in terms of our relationships to ourselves, as human persons, to the earth as our living environment, and to each other as members of the human community. The redefinition of our relationships through meditation is 'visionary,' or a new 'paradigm,' that, hopefully, will lead to the renewed ethical practice that other environmentalists are also advocating, for example, Arnold Berleant.

Changes in EEG of Children During Brain Respiration-Training (Journal Article)
Young YounChoi Kim
Brain Respiration (BR)-training is a unique form of breathing exercise that develops potential ability by facilitating brain function. It is recognized as an effective method of improving the scholastic aptitude and emotional stability of children. The present study was designed to investigate the characteristics of the EEG during this training. Spectral analysis was used to examine the relative power in the EEG of 12 children while they practiced BR-training, and these were compared to those of 12 matched controls. BR-trainees showed a lower θ rhythm than the controls before the training session began and lower β[sub 2] power before, during and after the session. In contrast, the BR subjects showed greater relative α[sub 1] power than the controls in the left frontal region during BR-training, which persisted throughout the BR-training schedule. There is evidence that decreased θ and β waves may be correlated with emotional maturation, whilst increased α waves are associated with educational achievement. These findings enhance our understanding of the neurophysiological basis of the effects of BR-training upon emotion and maturation.

Chanting the Psalms: a practical guide with instructional CD (2006, Book)

Chanting the psalms, or psalmody, is an ancient practice of vital importance in the Christian spiritual tradition. Today many think of it as a discipline that belongs only in monasteries--but psalmody is a spiritual treasure that is available to anyone who prays. You don't need to be musical or a monk to do it, and it can be enjoyed in church liturgical worship, in groups, or even individually as part of a personal rule of prayer. Cynthia Bourgeault brings the practice into the twenty-first century, providing a history of Christian psalmody as well as an appreciation of its place in contemplative practice today. And she teaches you how to do it as you chant along with her on the accompanying CD in which she demonstrates the basic techniques and easy melodies that anyone can learn. "Even if you can't read music," Cynthia says, "or if somewhere along the way you've absorbed the message that your voice is no good or you can't sing on pitch, I'll still hope to show you that chanting the psalms is accessible to nearly everyone."

Characteristics of East Asian meditation (2010, Journal Article)
Halvor Eifring

The aim of this article is threefold: It attempts to 1) identify the characteristics of East Asian forms of meditation, as compared to meditation in other parts of the Eurasian continent; 2) test the usefulness of a definition of meditation as a self-administered technique for inner transformation; and 3) test the usefulness of a classification of meditation techniques based on generic features of the meditation object, in particular location (external vs. internal), agency (spontaneous vs. produced), and faculty (cognitive vs. sensory). While the variation among East Asian forms of meditation is considerable, they (along with Indic forms) are often more technical and less consistently devotional than their Western counterparts, and less often sound-based than their Indic counterparts. In a number of ways, both the definition and classification system suggested turn out to be helpful in the analysis of East Asian forms of meditation. Keywords: meditation, mental attitude, meditation object, body, breathing, subtle body, visualisation, direct contemplation, keyword meditation, devotion

Ms. Large was born and raised in the Tucson area. She has over 10 years of community planning experience, encompassing both the public and private sectors, managing large- and small-scale planning projects, leading multidisciplinary teams and negotiating with stakeholders throughout the planning process. Her professional experience includes: preparing planning documents and entitlement applications, such as Planned Area Developments (PADs), specific plans, rezonings, land divisions/consolidations, variances, use permits and development plan submittals; performing due diligence research and site analysis; reviewing proposals for local, state and federal regulatory compliance; drafting ordinances for development procedures and land use controls; and leading community outreach and consensus‐building efforts through neighborhood meetings and planning charrettes. Robin also served as a former Planning Commissioner for the Town of Oro Valley.
During the economic downturn, Robin returned to school and launched a new career in nursing. For the last 4 years she has practiced as a registered nurse in the intensive care unit of a local hospital. Although she loved her work in healthcare, she missed planning and the opportunity to create community. Joining Lazarus, Silvyn & Bangs, PC was the perfect opportunity for her to return to land use and planning.

Now Reading: Kino No Longer "Contigo"
Kino No Longer "Contigo"
Melissa del Bosque Sep 15, 2009, 12:00 am CST
It's back to the caliche hauling business for Kino. State Rep. Kino Flores, D-Mission, announced today he won't run for re-election in 2010. Not particularly shocking considering that he was indicted in July by a Travis County grand jury for failing to reveal sources of income, gifts received, real estate holdings and real estate sales in documents required for public office holders.Of course, Kino's not leaving until his term has run its course. Like Rocky he can fight the indictment and represent the people of Hidalgo County with one arm tied behind his back. We'll miss the gold jewelry and the bullying on the House floor (not!).Steve Taylor and Joey Gomez from the Rio Grande Guardian have more on Kino's decision to release his iron grasp on District 36.

You will enjoy playing NeoGames' Esmeralda if you enjoyed reading the Harry Potter series. This delightful scratchcard has a generous dose of magic and witchcraft, and I promise you that you cannot help but love Esmeralda the witch who goes the extra mile to help you win that top jackpot of £100,000. I found that Esmeralda challenged me to play as many as 8 pairs of cards simultaneously, a challenge that I took up quite well considering the fact that the card price range is If you choose to play all 8 pairs, you will find that they are displayed in two rows of 8 cards each. As I previously mentioned, I played all 8 pairs, and whenever I clicked on a card, it revealed itself and displayed either the bottom or the top part of Esmeralda the witch. The aim was to match the top and bottom halves of the witch and win fabulous prizes.
Here are some instructions to play Esmeralda.
• Select your card price by using the – and + signs near the Card Price button.
• Select the number of card pairs by using the – and + signs near the Number of Pairs button.
• Want to bet maximum and play all the pairs? Use the Max Pairs button.
• Now, hit the Play button to reveal the cards and check how many of them are a match.
The prizes offered for each pair is displayed below the pair, and if you match the pair, you will win the prize. You can play the game manually by scratching off each card pair to see if it matches or you can just hit your space bar or use the Scratch All button to get all the card pairs scratched off automatically.
I think the game's autoplay feature is worth mentioning because it makes Esmeralda worth playing. If you have a bankroll fat enough, you can use the autoplay to play as many as 999 games automatically. You have to hit the Autoplay button to start playing automatically, and if you want to exit the feature, simply hit the Autoplay button again.
Having played and enjoyed Esmeralda, I can safely say that Esmeralda is one Neo Games scratchcard that you just cannot afford to miss.
