I really like this definition of success by Earl Nightingale:

"Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal"

Bob Proctor of the Proctor Gallagher Institute elaborates further in the video: http://www.proctorgallagherinstitute.com/6604/what-is-success

Excellent video explaining the function of the hitting arm elbow in the tennis serve.

Tennis Serve Tip: Lead With The Elbow And Add 5-10 MPH To Your Serve

When I first started coaching, my goal was to focus first on proper stroke technique. The idea was that if players could hit the ball consistently down the center of the court then they would build more confidence and progress faster.

What I found was that most times I did not leave enough time in the one hour coaching session to work on tennis footwork and fitness.

The result was that my students have the best tennis stroke technique but are very sluggish when getting to the ball or getting out of the way of the ball.

I no longer teach that way!

Even for students as young as 6 years old I teach them how to move well and move fast.

The moral of the story? Tennis movement and fitness is part of the stroke technique and not a separate thing you do if you want to become a pro.

Have a look at this site for some ideas on drills you could incorporate into your fitness plan:

Meet Moxie Marlinspike, the Anarchist Bringing Encryption to All of Us

I was recently asked to model the financial risk in a television infomercial deal - live tv product sales, edible gift items for $150-500+). I used google sheets for easy group access. This is a useful kind of area to model. We needed to measure and test risk related to "missing the mark". It turns out that infomercialsand many live media contracts have non-linear penalties built in.

Rather than just thinking about how much you might sell and how much to spend on tertiary promotions to the event, models like this one are focused on hidden economic penalties. These kick in for things like: the bottom end of poor sales performance; bad quality, returns, and delivery issues; customer complaints over customer service;and more. In some cases who pays whom and how much they pay may flip about, depending how badly it goes. The moral of the model... Read carefully and test your downside thoroughly.

Business Modeling for manufacturing processes: You can add all kinds of cloud planning-ware to this process,,, but there's nothing like taking it down to the elements in a spreadsheet and working it out. Had a great time working though a bakery process lately. What fun! Human and machine factors begging AI in an artisan arena!

When faced with an enterprise wide client facing, POS, and operational workflow computer system upgrade, KINKO's Headquarters in Dallas had to determine quickly how it would train the employees in 1100 retail stores how to use their new system, ORDER TO PAY. With hundreds of discreet ordering tasks and options in the design of the system, how could employees learn, and retain what they learn, without a hiccup in the operational flow? There is no way the entire company can go off the production line to train. So what can be done?

I was hired by a third party contractor to come in and design a BLENDED LEARNING STRATEGY based on the business needs of KINKO'S as well as the learning needs of this highly social work-team environment. By breaking down individual learning style options as well as Multiple Intelligence Theory, I designed multiple modalities for people to access training; with the emphasis on team.

Initially, I introduced how this would culturally impact how the teams worked together. By introducing basic concepts of change into the teams, we could show how they could build upon what they already know, and begin to take ownership of the change in how they worked together. Empowerment and role "norming" was helpful for the team members. They could begin to understand how to anticipate needs. By seeing videos early, before the go-live, and walking through the GUI, look and feel, begin to learn new terminology, even as a prototype. Additional modules and access to learning through multimedia was introduced as a staged rollout in the strategy design. The result was a combination of opportunities for self directed learning as well as led or team based communities.

The overall strategy document was the basis of a seminar for which I created an abstract and was chosen to be lead presenter. "Authentic Learning in Blended Scenarios: Your Map Folded My Way." When you look at a large map, you have an impulse to fold it down to a meaningful area to study and focus upon. This was the idea behind the learning solution for KINKO'S. Integrated workplace Learning is possible, challenging, but possible. Through Peer mentoring, adaptability increases, and the reinforcement to learn quickly is well supported. The highly adaptable KINKO'S teams succeeded in making ORDER TO PAY the success it still is today.

Situations and events reveal character; they don't build it. Through story and charActer modeling, current states of relevance and change will display their true values.

How do you use story modelling to work with clients or to design new solutions? Have you ever approached Joseph Campbell's "Hero's Journey" to find the path a company is exploring?

How about empowering indivIduals at a work shop or masterclass in "writing their own hero story"? Innovative way to build better teams and to help companies identify their own Ethos, weaknesses, and strengths.

Cinema is the greatest form of documentation of our cultures, history, and personal experiences as human beings. As we are now running to catch with our selves in technological advances, we are also falling behind in preserving that which has come before us on 35mm film. There is great satisfacting in locating a copyright holder who has lost a film, had it stolen during distribution, or misplaced in the lab, being able to reconnect the orphan film with its rightful owner. An even greater pleasure is restoring and preserving all of the elements, and then screening it for the first time in decades to a new audience.This is a wonderful way to honor the work of artists who cannot speak for themselves anymore and to help tell their stories. We are currently in talks with a cable network and a preservation fund to embark on our next project.

Archivists are always sharing information with each other about holdings. It is a thriving community. My favorite is AMIA http://www.amianet.org/.

Which post production houses or individual labs to you like to use? Let's compare notes. I am always looking for ways to design a more cost effective workflow so that I can restore more films with my project resources.

As the story goes, I sang before I ever spoke, and I thumped to the rhythm of concert music I heard my father took my mother to hear before I was born. By age three, I had perfect pitch and would sing harmony and play the piano by ear. As a musician, specifically a singer, I perceive the inner narrative in any given situation and use this perspective to write narrative in film scores and screenplays. Through my work as filmmaker and sound designer, I look to reach the audience through the subtext of their own imaginations, or "theaters of the mind". The tools I use to accomplish this are recordings of animal sounds, natural sounds, and Foley sound effects props. Elements from an ordinary world used in an extraordinary way. To build this approach to sound design further, my film scores include layers from rare and ethnic instruments that bring a mysterious ancient voice to the music. To pull it all together, I combine lines of human voices as textures and leads on original songs. This overall effect helps to give the audience the freedom to experience their own sensorial adventure, and to add dimension to the film.

My toolkit, apart from unusual instruments such as Hurdy Gurdys, Autoharps and Syrian Lyres, involves the exquisite sample libraries from EastWest Sound, Frank Sinatra's recording studio on Sunset in Hollywood. Learning to make the most of these libraries is challenging due to their size and richness. I am ALWAYS open to dialogue and conversation about the workflow in the Pro-Tools DAW and how best to produce and mix these tracks.

Short term goal - I am working towards strengthening my Home studio production potential while refreshing my live orchestra conducting and recording. Currently shopping for a MACPRO upgrade - a custom build. looking forward to learning about strategy to for setting up a more robust scalable film scoring studio.http://www.eastweststudio.com/

Personally tested while out in the snowy fields - HotHands2 hand warmers won the heat challenge, staying warm 3 hours longer than Grabber brand warmers. If you want your hands to stay comfy while out in the cold give them a try.

Whoo hoo!!! I am thrilled to report that my Belgian Tervuren "Rummy" is now AKC Tracking Certified. She earned her certification in Cortland NY on October 24, 2015, under Judge Debbie Maheu. A big thank you to the Finger Lakes Kennel Club for putting on a great event. It was a coooooold morning with a strong, icy wind, but the fields were lush and it was a beautiful setting. Five out of the seven entries passed. The Certification Test is identical to the Tracking Dog or TD test, and proves that the dog is ready for the TD. With certification, you get 4 certificates good for one year. Now I can enter Tracking Dog tests, Each time I enter a TD test, I must send a certificate in with the entry. If Rummy does not pass the Tracking Dog test in four attempts, she will then need to re-certify. She only has to pass it once for her full title. So, basically this means we are halfway there :-)). Very proud of my girl. Note to self - next time wear boots with better traction, we were flying downhill for the last leg, I was literally running to keep up so as not to fall on my face. So exciting when she found the glove!!!

Thank you Cardigan Welsh Corgi owners for entering your dogs under me at the upcoming Wallkill Kennel Club dog show in Suffern NY, on February 25, 2016. It's a 5 point major in class dogs and a 4 point major in class bitches! 7-9 (4-1).

Looking forward to judging for the Suffolk County Kennel Club on Sept. 26, 2015, in St. James, NY. Especially happy to be judging the NOHS Herding Group! In the new National Owner Handled Series (NOHS), no professional handlers are allowed to show. The dogs must be owned by their handlers. Speaking as an owner-handler myself, I think this is super duper!

Quickly tell the story of who you are. Just add 2-3 personas and you will see a more three dimensional you. Your collection of Personas shows the things you like to do that you are best at and most passionate about. You might follow and love sports, while you are also a great cook, and you are an organizational wiz by day job. Your personas could be: "all sports"; "family chef"; and, "office wizard". Once they are there, your personas can quickly tell the whole story of who you are all at once. http://www.threespaces.com/network/browser/join_us.jsp

Everyone has at least three strongest interests in life. Take home, work, and your most obsessive hobby, for instance. Personas represent these things. They are the new calling card.

Try making three personas. Fill out at least a description, a persona photo, three pictures with captions, one like, and one brand for each of your three personas. Links are your other sites. Brands are the favorite tools you use for your persona's activity.

When you're done. see your collection of personas (the "my other personas" link at the top of any of your personas.) The collection is your public calling card. See how it represents you.

Did you know that when van Gogh and Paul Gaugin were toogether in Arles, in France, they had a huge fight after which van Gogh cut his ear off? After that, he even offered his cut ear to a prostitute! Further more, van Gogh was suffering serious mental illness all of his life.

Did you know that Franz Kafka wanted to burn all his writings? His best friend, Max Brod,dissuaded him of doing that. He published all Kafka's works after Kafka's death, I wonder how would 20th century literature be if Kafka;s hadn't turned it upside-down.

Have you watched Inception? Did you actually know that it is 'a movie about movies?' Every actor has a roll that complements with a roll in filmmaking: Eames (Tom Hardy), is an actor, because he can literary change faces; Ariadne (Ellen Page), is the screenwriter, because she designs dreams. Saito (Ken Wantabe), is the studio executive, because he is an investor, Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is director because he is putting the whole movie together, and Yusuf (Dipleep Rao) is special effects guy, because you all forgot he even exists!

I've shared a bit about me...tell me a bit about you! What are your favorite blogs? What draws you to a blog? Or, if you're a blogger yourself, what are some of your favorite tools and tricks to build an interactive audience?

Hard to believe that in 1980, the biggest American company by market cap was IBM, and it was worth $39 billion. It is now worth $121 billion and is 37th largest company. Its market cap in 1980 would now make it 78th.

Google, or Alphabet as it is called now, is now bigger than Apple by market capitalization if its gains after hours hold through tomorrow. It just released its earnings, beating analysts' estimates.

Currently working on Destiny. Looking at a finish date of November 2016. I will post clips from time to time.

2013 Football Season is about to begin at East Boca Tackle. Our registration numbers have surpassed last years and we have a crop of talent from other leagues joining our program.

The first week of condition was conducted by the guys from Athletes Edge. They train some of the most famous sports athletes today and provided the kids a great start to the season.

Week two is all about the coaches and their ability to assess the players. Draft night is Saturday and each team has six frozen players. Each player receives a skill number and entered into the draft for their perspective division. (Fr/JV/Varsity)

I am looking forward to this season, we have a strong team with big kids. Like last year, I expect our defense to be number one ranked but unlike last year, I expect our offense to score touchdowns often and a lot.

Our QB has two years experience and has improved his arm strength and accuracy while picking up a little size and height. His ability to move in the pocket will be our opportunity to stretch the defense and make it easier to run the ball. We have 2 backs weighing in at 105 and our TE is 119. Power running plus a good dosage of quick passes will get us to the championship game.

They say 9 yr olds can't pass effectively and we're out to prove it wrong.

We started off strong with inside running. We chewed up the 1st quarter and were on the 6 yard line with 1 and Goal. QB sneak was the call and the Cardinals score.

Defense held strong for the first possession until at 4th and 15 and they throw a bomb to tie the score.

We drive on our second possession with more strong running. Then all of the sudden with team running out West Boca strips the ball and scores a 60 yard touchdown.

By half time we had 10 players and we continued to play until the 4th quarter when our 3 third player went down and we had to forfeit the game.

Tough lost but many positives came out of the game. Our kids showed grit, determination and heart. They were out manned and fought till the end.

One more game to secure second seeding and then its' playoff time. Hopefully we can get enough players to practice.
