Reflections on Leadership: Looking for Grit
Like many young people in the 1960's I began my working career at a very early age. Starting with doing lawn work and doing assorted household chores for neighbors at age eleven, I graduated to working at a local chair rental business, delivering tables and chairs for special events (which in retrospect was probably a violation of child labor laws). In each of these situations, the opportunity to earn spending money provided a measure of financial independence. Just after my 12th birthday, I joined the ranks of thousands of young people delivering the Grit newspaper.
The Grit was a weekly publication that had a distinctly rural character, featuring human interest stories, recipes, and a lot of good news. Founded in 1882, the Grit reached a circulation of more than 500,000 by 1934, when it adopted the tagline, "America's Greatest Family Newspaper". The distribution of the Grit newspaper was dependent on an army of over 30,000 young people, who sold the newspapers across the country. At its peak circulation in 1969, the Grit had a circulation in excess of 1.5 million. Each paper was
delivered by a child and all of the money was likewise collected by children and sent to Grit's main office (in Williamsport, Pennsylvania) by snail mail. There are a lot of reasons why the model no longer works, and the heyday of the Grit has long since passed, but the lessons learned from the experience remain with me to this very day.
Every Grit delivery person ordered newspapers each week, paying 10 cents for each copy. The sales price of each newspaper was 15 cents, and the potential profit depended on whether or not you could sell all of the papers you ordered. It was possible to actually lose money if I failed to sell at least 2/3 of my order. My "business" was developed by going door to door to establish a customer base for regular delivery, with the last copies being sold on the street corner to passing shoppers. Being a Grit delivery person was not an easy thing to do. Winters in Michigan could be brutal, and you only got paid if you delivered the paper on time. But the opportunity to earn a couple of dollars a week was a powerful incentive for a youngster with initiative and a willingness to take risks.
What I did not understand at the time was that I was getting a great lesson on the realities of running a small business. In addition to the obvious sales requirements, there was management of inventory, logistics – setting up the most efficient delivery route, estimating the risk of ordering copies with the hope of finding new customers, and the urgency of dealing with a perishable product. The importance of collections and an understanding of profit and loss were also important lessons learned. Eventually I was able to build up to 40 regular customers and routinely ordered an extra 5 copies to be sold on the street. On a good week I could make the grand sum of $2.25.
I was not alone in choosing to deliver newspapers to begin my work life. Warren Buffet, Martin Luther King, Jr., John Wayne, Walt Disney, Harry Truman and Wayne Gretzky are listed among those who started their careers the same way.
All of these childhood memories returned to me recently as I read Angela Duckworth's New York Times best-selling book Grit. It turns out that the name chosen for the newspaper in the 1880's still describes a character trait that is essential to success in life. While her book has an obvious application to business, the stories related to parenting, successful spelling bee competitors, football coaches, and cartoonists demonstrate that the concept of grit has a broad application.
Duckworth claims that based on her research and experience as a McKinsey consultant, organizations are "distracted by talent" when they should be more focused on effort as a determinant of success. She goes so far as to theorize that effort is twice as important as talent in the following formula:
Talent x Effort = Skill
Skill x Effort = Achievement
When a person with talent applies effort, they develop a skill - something that they become relatively good at doing. But this is just the beginning. It is not until a person takes the skill they have developed and apply another measure of effort that achievement is realized. It is the application of effort that Duckworth calls grit.
As a disciplined researcher she has developed a "Grit Scale" to measure tendencies and to test out the correlation between the gritty personality and success, and has applied this scale to literally thousands of individuals. In case after case she illustrates that success is less about being the best and brightest, and more about being the "grittiest' or most determined person. Overcoming obstacles to achieve excellence requires grit. Nothing else will do.
When it comes to teams and how they achieve success, she advocates surrounding yourself with persons who possess grit. She states "If you want to be grittier, find a gritty culture and join it. If you are a leader and you want people in your organization to be grittier, create a gritty culture."
Duckworth concludes that grit, while critical to success, is not the most important virtue for a person to have in life. She separates virtues into three distinct categories:
- Interpersonal (heart) – moral character
- Intellectual (mind) – curiosity and passion for learning
- Intrapersonal (will) - self-control, self-management, and performance character
Grit is intrapersonal. It may help you to be more successful, but it will not necessarily help you to become a better person. When forced to choose between greatness and goodness, Duckworth says that as a parent, she would choose goodness for her children before the grit that would move them toward great achievement.
There is no better illustration of a life of grit than the Apostle Paul. In his call to spread the gospel he was shipwrecked three times, stoned, endured several beatings, confronted robbers, and was frequently hungry and cold. His was a life lived in peril. In his letter to the Romans (chapter 5) he observed that "endurance produces character and character produces hope". It seems like the road to character has a gritty surface.
Grit is a wonderful reminder to all of us that it is not just the intellectually gifted or those born to a life of advantage that can succeed in reaching their desired goals. Determination can level the playing field. Grit can be learned, and is well within reach for all of us.
My experience delivering Grit newspapers was not just learning about business or making money. My customers were almost all older adults, many of whom I learned to appreciate for their humor, wisdom, and especially their independence and strength of will. That appreciation eventually led to my vocational calling to serve seniors. Even a 12 year old boy can spot the value of true grit in action.

1 The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.
3 Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house.
4 Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.
5 Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.
6 In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.
7 And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.
8 And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,
9 Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?
10 Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.

FM16: Southampton FC - When the Saints go marching in
SFC_Jordi replied to Jamie Cortez's topic in Good Player & Team GuideNah, not really. At the start Hesketh, Gallagher, Stephens, Targett and Slattery look good enough to be first team regulars in the future. In any case Man City offered me an interview so I took the job there. Split the save however so there's scope for returning!
FM16: Southampton FC - When the Saints go marching in
SFC_Jordi replied to Jamie Cortez's topic in Good Player & Team GuideMy first season went pretty well, Chelsea came in for Ward-Prowse early on and he made it clear he wanted to leave so I tried to squeeze as much as I could from them, I didn't think £31m rising to £36m was too bad a deal and it gave me the freedom to develop the squad how I wanted it. I identified the need for a backup striker but Charlie Austin turned me down to sign for Watford instead, Jordan Rhodes normall scores goals on FM so he seemed like a no-brainer. Yannick Bolasie so far has proven to be an expensive mistake, managed to play only ten games due to constantly being out injured, and when he did play, he only managed one assist in the ten games. Ryan Gauld has been decent but the fans seem to hate him for some reason. I was binned out of the Europa League in the 3rd qualifying round by Charleroi, so that wasn't much of a run, however we started the league season with a bang, winning 3-0 at Spurs, I tended to beat the teams I was supposed to and lose to the big sides. We also came away from Anfield with a 1-0 win. We also reached the Capital One Cup semi final but a disastrous first leg against Chelsea saw us lose 4-0, and despite winning 3-1 in the home leg, we crashed out. We also crashed out of the FA Cup in the third round, getting trounced 3-0 at home by Wolves. We finished the season well, finishing 7th and once again qualifying for Europe due to Spurs winning the FA Cup. Man City came in for Cedric and I got very good money for a full back (the fee is rising to over £20m), and managed to replace him with a home grown player in Carl Jenkinson and have some cash left over. Wanyama kicked up a fuss so I had no choice but to sell him, he was replaced with Vicente Iborra who's release clause still stood at £4.3m, so he was a good, cheap option. Graziano Pelle wanted to leave to return to Italy, he had a pretty poor season so I allowed the move to happen, his Atlanta side were drawn against us in the Europa League group stages. Geronimo Rulli was out of contract and is outstanding so he was a great choice and Fraser Forster provides great competition. Jamie Vardy's Leicester were relegated, he was dirt cheap so I couldn't say no to having an option like him off the bench. Since the transfer window closed I've negotiated deals for Calum Chambers, Danny Welbeck, and Javier Pastore.
FM14: Southampton F.C. - Gatecrashing the top table
SFC_Jordi replied to Matthew Le God's topic in Good Player & Team GuideTime for another quick update on my last twelve months. End of the summer transfer window last season I managed to do this: Although I'm now feeling the effects financially. Finished 6th in season two, but failed to qualify for Europe, which is frustrating as I could have done with the extra revenue, and games to continue blooding Hesketh, Reed et al. Boruc got injured just after the summer window shut for 5 months and not trusting Davis and Gazzaniga for the better portion of the season, I panic bought Declan Rudd on a free transfer. Anyway, season three transfers: GK was a priority as Rudd and Boruc aren't necessarily good enough for my ambitions anymore, and at £6m and £42.5k a week Ruffier is a snip, but in some great early season performances. Jedvaj has proved to be a great find for me, and he's formed a great partnership with Dejan Lovren in defence, CB was another priority with Fonte declining and Yoshida not being good enough. We sit top after 11 games with a superb defensive record. Took six games for us to concede! Hopefully we can at least get top 5 this season, as I'd prefer a season in the Europa League to blood a few more of my high-potential youngsters, and get them ready for top 4 assaults.
FM14: Southampton F.C. - Gatecrashing the top table
SFC_Jordi replied to Matthew Le God's topic in Good Player & Team GuideUnfortunately I was unable to keep up my early season form and dropped off significantly round Christmas time. Ended up finishing twelfth which is disappointing in the scheme of things. Second half of the season results were poor, but my personal highlight was the 6-2 drubbing of Norwich at Carrow Road. After failing to sign Damiao I panic loaned Quagliarella from Juve for a few months, and he netted five of his seven goals for me in that one game. Ha. Anyway, I didn't realise Osvaldo had a fee agreed in the loan contract, so I lost him - albeit for £16m, so that softened the blow somewhat, and then I replaced him swiftly with a significantly better striker anyway. Didn't think I'd get him, but for some reason City had set his asking price really low, and I got him for £10m + £1m after 50 goals. Building my team around him and I'm hoping to have him leading the line with Lallana, Lambert and Ramirez as the three behind him.
FM14: Southampton F.C. - Gatecrashing the top table
SFC_Jordi replied to Matthew Le God's topic in Good Player & Team GuideStarted a new save with Saints on the new patch. Asked for a slight raise on my transfer budget to facilitate a free transfer, and was given £19m. Probably won't spend it. This is my only signing, he's fairly versatile and is good cover for Lovren or Shaw. And nine games in, we sit pretty in the top 6, opening two games were Man City away and Arsenal at home, which make up my two losses, but since then I've had a significantly easier run, so I'm unbeaten in seven. Adam Lallana has been outstanding for me. But I cannot get Lambert to score for the life of me. Sam Gallagher, Josh Sims, Harry Reed, and Jake Hesketh have all been promoted to the first team and have made appearances.
I got given £50k to get a top half finish and a wage budget of about £55k a week. Martin cost me £15k up front and a further £35k over the next four years. I kept Coppell on but he was pretty useless for the most part. Unfortunately things didn't go to plan and i finished 20th, and chose to resign. so I'm looking for a new job in the football league.
Hi all, chosen to take a break from the glamour of the PL and start a save with Crawley. My personal ambition is to reach the playoffs, but a top half finish is what the board want. Only signing I've made is Gary Martin, think he could score goals at League 1, Michael Svensson wanted too much money
FM14: Southampton F.C. - Gatecrashing the top table
SFC_Jordi replied to Matthew Le God's topic in Good Player & Team GuideDier is 3.5* current ability and 4* potential for me. Avg rating of 7.3 after 10 games.
FM14: Southampton F.C. - Gatecrashing the top table
SFC_Jordi replied to Matthew Le God's topic in Good Player & Team GuideI had a lot of trouble around October time and couldn't win for the life of me. I nicked a couple of ideas off the pressure tactic in there after people reported a lot of success with it. Dier is certainly very good for his age, a step up on Fonte and Yoshida, 20 years old, and English. My squad depth is decent, got plenty of backup for every position except left-back, but Clyne can play there and Chambers or Dier can play at RB. The midfielders are generally very versatile and Mayuka came back from his loan and is 4th choice striker.
FM14: Southampton F.C. - Gatecrashing the top table
SFC_Jordi replied to Matthew Le God's topic in Good Player & Team GuideAfter a mental 2014 I finished the first season in third place, thanks to a tactic modelled on Pochettino's pressing game, and with a few ideas pinched from the Tactics forum. At one point I was called in for a board meeting after losing five on the bounce but pulled it back, especially with a 6-0 win at Aston Villa. There was very little in it, from 2nd to 8th, so I was pretty fortunate, a 3-1 victory over Arsenal in the run-in sealed it, in my eyes. Only signings in Season 1 were Nicolas Gaitan and Davide Astori. Here are season 2's transfers. Managed to fend off competition from Real Madrid for Coutinho so was pleased with that, Eric Dier actually ended up costing me about £9.5m because he was 50% owned by his agent. And here's my start to the season. Reasonable, but I need to sort out my goals conceded column.
20 games in to my title defending season and my defence has improved considerably. Zieler has kept 12 clean sheets and Gazzaniga 2. Shawcross has once again been a rock, he'll probably win player of the season for something like the fifth year in a row. I've finally started scoring too, with 11 in my last 4.
Decided to splash a bit of cash this summer, with the arrivals of Coutinho and my new striker and replacement for Jovetic. Net spend isn't too bad since Barcelona were stupid enough to pay £35m for a 30 year old and he has a terrible season last season. Scored something like 5 goals in the league. Here's my new guy: We had a good start too, winning two bits of (unimportant) silverware.
Boom! I'm delighted with this season, Gaston has been incredible, 15 goals in the league and the winner in the Europa League final.
Tajj, your Gaston looks incredible! Your updates have made me want to start over and do something similar to you, but first I have to emulate my success on FM12. I'm definitely in poll position and finally have sorted my defensive issues. But now I struggle to score as freely. Ramirez is my top scorer on 11, Jovetic has 4 this season and I think I may ship him out in the summer.
Heh, Giroud is horribly overpowered it seems. He walks off with the golden boot almost every season.

Finding the right dog is a challenge, and that is recognized by most prospective owners.
Many people looking to get the best dog possible understand this, but their mistake lies in just how much research they decide to do in the first place.
Think of getting a new dog as inviting a new family member into your home.
Throughout today's guide, I'll be covering the Bernese Cattle Dog, which is a relatively obscure mix, but that doesn't diminish this breed in any way.
While it sounds similar to the name of one of its parents, the Bernese Mountain Dog, this mix also has some Australian Cattle Dog in it.
You may be wondering exactly what to expect out of this guide, so let me give you a bit of an idea.
First off, I'll be covering the things that you should know about these dogs before you even purchase a puppy. Aside from that, I'll be looking at intelligence, looks, diet, and much more.
Bernese Cattle Dog Puppies – Before You Buy…
Before you go out and get hypnotized by a litter of adorable puppies, it is essential to know what you are looking for beforehand by learning as much information as you can about the Bernese Cattle Dog.
Knowing the price and where to buy them from is the first step of the journey of owning a Bernese Cattle Dog.
What Price are Bernese Cattle Dog Puppies?
The Bernese Cattle Dog is not very well-known, therefore not as popular in demand as other dog breeds.
If you love big dog breeds and have the space for them, you will love to have a Bernese Cattle Dog in your life.
You can find this dog breed anywhere from $200 to $600, which is very affordable considering their massive size.
There may be some breeders that price the females in the litter higher if they are not spayed since they are capable of reproduction.
Dogs that have health information and immunization records may also be more money than those that aren't.
It is possible to find Bernese Cattle Dogs in animal shelters like many types of dog breeds, so be sure to check them out as well.
Where to Find Reputable Bernese Cattle Dog Breeders?
Finding a Bernese Cattle Dog breeder is a little more challenging than other dog breeds since there are not many of them out there.
They are a bit on the rare side, so you may not find them available in the area where you live.
If this is the case, you may have to prepare yourself for transportation costs to be able to meet the puppies in person.
When you do find and locate a breeder, it is crucial to visit the homes of the puppy before making a payment.
Do not pay for the puppy in advance online unless you know for sure that it is the puppy you want, or else you may be wasting money.
Make sure that the Bernese Cattle Dog puppies are well taken care of and are healthy before deciding to purchase from the breeder.
3 Little-Known Facts About Bernese Cattle Dog Puppies
- The Bernese Cattle Dog is probably the most diverse dog breed out there since the Bernese Mountain Dog and the Australian Cattle Dog have very distinctive looks that are very different from each other. So, there is no standard look that these dogs have.
- This dog breed is relatively new, so there is not a lot of information about their history or their characteristics, so many breeders and dog experts will pull information from the traits of their parent breeds to determine what kind of dog they will be.
- The Bernese Mountain Dog originated in the 18th century in the Swiss Mountains and were mainly used to pull carts and work on farms. On farms, they would guard and drive cattle if they weren't keeping the farmers company. The Australian Cattle Dog has a very similar history by doing the same kind of work, just in Europe instead of Switzerland. With two hard-working parent breeds, you can expect that the Bernese Cattle Dog will be very devoted to their owners and will work hard to please them.
Physical Traits of the Bernese Cattle Dog
As mentioned earlier in this guide, the Bernese Cattle Dog will look a variety of different ways depending on what parent breed they inherit most of their genes from.
Some dogs of this breed will be huge and strong with a broad, flat head. They can have a scissors bite and ears that hang downward.
Dogs that take after the Bernese Mountain Dog more will also have a bushy tail that is long and has powerful legs and will have dense coats with long hair.
If they have more of the Australian Cattle Dog's genes, they will be more on the slim side with sturdy legs and a longish body.
They can also have ears that stand up on the head, a longer muzzle, and a tri-colored coat that is gray, black, and tan, black and white, or any combination of these colors.
They can also have short hair. No matter what length of the dog's fur, it is best to brush them weekly to keep shedding under control.
If there is more of the Bernese Mountain Dog, prepare for seasonal shedding.
How Big is a Full-Grown Bernese Cattle Dog?
Since these dogs vary in looks, they will vary in size as well, and the range is a bit wide.
A Bernese Cattle Dog's height can be anywhere from 17 to 27 inches tall and can weigh between 30 to 105 pounds.
This is a range that is a lot broader than other dog breeds out there, so you may not know how big they will be until at least 18 months of age.
What is the Bernese Cattle Dog's Life Expectancy?
The Bernese Cattle Dog is a large dog breed, so it can be assumed that their lifespan will be shorter than smaller dog breeds.
Both parent breeds of this dog have relatively short lifespans, so you can expect them to live anywhere between 6 to 11 years.
They do not have many health issues, so their size plays a big role in how long they live.
Intelligence, Temperament, and Personality Traits of the Bernese Cattle Dog
The Bernese Cattle Dog takes both traits of its parent breeds and combines them to become very great family dogs.
They are very intelligent, making them very easy to train. Because of this, it is not necessary to be rough with them or mean due to how sensitive they are.
Be sure to be as gentle with them as they are to you.
They are also great around children and other pets that you may have. They do not have strong hunting instincts, so you will not have to worry about them "hunting" small animals.
With children, you will not have a lot to worry about. The only thing to concern yourself with is to make sure that your children know how to treat them and not try to ride on their backs.
Despite their size, they are also energetic and will love to play with you and your loved ones.
They will love to accompany you with any activities that you are interested in as long as they are by your side.
The Bernese Cattle Dog also is very protective of their loved ones so you will have yourself an excellent watchdog.
The Bernese Cattle Dog's Diet
The Bernese Cattle Dog will need about 2.5 cups of food to thrive and to maintain their weight. This amount will also vary just like with everything else due to the size range that they have.
If you have a dog of this breed that is on the larger side, you may have to feed them more.
How Much Exercise Does the Bernese Cattle Dog Need?
The Bernese Cattle Dog will need between 30 to 45 minutes of exercise per day to reach their exercise requirements.
This can be achieved through walks around the neighborhood and spending time playing with their owners. They also need mental stimulating as much as physical to keep them happy.
Bernese Cattle Dog Health and Conditions
This dog breed does not suffer from many health risks like other large dogs breeds.
The ones that they are predisposed to are both preventable and can be treated, so you will not have to worry about their health very much as they age.
Serious Issues:
- Meningitis
- Hip Dysplasia
- Osteochondritis Dissecans
Minor Issues:
- Elbow Dysplasia
My Final Thoughts on the Bernese Cattle Dog
The Bernese Cattle Dog is an excellent choice for those that love big, cuddly dogs that will protect them.
They are very loyal and will do anything to help their owners.
This guide was meant to teach everyone everything there is to know about this dog breed, and I hope that it has given you what you need.

With three full albums and an EP under his belt, he will be releasing a brand new collection of songs titled "Straight to Marrow." About the new album Clint states "I had the idea with Straight to Marrow that some songs can go into our bones and affect us in ways that we can't really explain." I chatted with him about the making of this new album and he shared some insight of the writing process."
R.V.B. - Hello Clint... Robert von Bernewitz here from Long Island, New York. How are you today?
C.A. - I'm doing alright Robert. How are things in Long Island?
R.V.B. - A little cold. They're talking about some snow this weekend. How are things by you? Are you in Nashville today?
C.A. - Yeah I am. It's not too cold down here. It's about 48 degrees. It's cooler for Nashville but I don't think we've got any snow on the way.
R.V.B. - I understand your football team had a better season this year.
C.A. - I think they did. I kind of got out of the habit of following football. It was hard for them not to have a better season this year because last year they were pretty much at the bottom on the barrel.
R.V.B. - That's what I understand. Kind of like the Jets this year. Thanks for taking this time to talk with me. I sampled your new album and I very much like it. One thing that noticed is that it has a nice variety of songs and it flows nicely. You seem to adapt your singing style to the different melodies.
C.A. - I agree with that and I understand where you're coming from there.
R.V.B. - As an example, I detected a little Skip James in the song Ain't That Something.
C.A. - It's definitely a blues song. I wrote that song on a lap steel guitar. That bluezy sound just seemed to be in that guitar. All these songs in one way or another kind of fit the theme of the album, which is called Straight To Marrow. They came from this place where it was really easy to write. I didn't have to think about it too hard. I've written these songs over the 15 or so years that I've been in Nashville. What you're saying about the different vocal styles... and this is a credit to Neilson Hubbard for giving me that leeway... I kind of consider each song as its own character. I've sung a lot of different styles through the years. I'm classically trained and I've also done some musical theater, so I would say that in some ways it's intentional, and in some ways it's just how I approach music and songs. One style of singing might be right for one song and not necessarily right for another. I'm glad that you noticed that because it's encouraging to hear.
R.V.B. - The title track has a wavering falsetto reminiscent of the great A.P. Carter.
C.A. - I grew up on folk and bluegrass music... classical music can lend itself to some vibrato. There are a lot of influences. The Carter Family is a huge influence. Not only in my music but everybody's music... that has ever listened to country music... whether they know it or not.
R.V.B. - I love the songwriting on the Album. One of the songs that I put an asterisk next to was Out to California. It tells a nice story about meeting a girl. I like the line about the sun shining the same in Nashville as it does in California.
C.A. - That was about a girl I met in acting class. I got cast in a scene with her and she had caught my attention. The nature of the scene was a romantic scene and being the songwriter that I am, I kind of knew that this was going to be an Ill fated interest. I knew that her desire was to get out on Nashville and go back to California, where she had grown up. She wanted to pursue acting more than music. It was one of those things where this romance wasn't going to happen but I'll probably get a song out of it. The song has been good to me.
R.V.B. - Another one that I liked was the final track n the CD. I liked the values that were brought up in the Grandfather-Grandmother song.
C.A. - I recorded an interview with my grandparents when they were in their 90's. I have a video with hours of the interview. When they both passed away... like the song says... three weeks to the day my grandmother passed away after my grandfather. It was September of 2014. It took me two years to write that song. I thought about it and thought about it, and tried to write it. It just never happened until I came back from a folk music conference in 2016. I listened to the interview and took some of their quotes and some of their advice and married it with their actual story. Every bit on that song is true.
R.V.B. - One particular line that stuck out to me was in the title track song... "Only God knows where we'll wind up." I guess you can attempt to make your own way but only God knows where you're going to wind up. What's the story behind the title track?
C.A. - I had the idea with Straight to Marrow that some songs can go into our bones and affect us in ways that we can't really explain. As a songwriter, some songs emerge that way. I really had intentions about making an album that had those songs. I didn't have the song for that title for a long time until a friend of mine wrote a screen play and made a short film called "Lemons." It's about two characters that cross each other's path and they're both kind of damaged in some way. They're both kind of working through it. I was actually auditioning for one of the lead roles and I didn't get it. But in familiarizing myself with this script, by reading through it and learning the characters... I started noodling around on the guitar and this song came out. I thought "There's the song I've been looking for." The line about "the sun is a lemon", kind of came from the movie. If the sun was going to be a lemon, what did I want the moon to be? The idea of the moon being an onion was one of the first lyrics that popped into my head. That was the trigger to get into that song. I'm a Christian... I'm a believer... I've always been a person of faith. I think that there's a higher power directing people, whether they know it, or acknowledge it or not. I don't know if it was St. Augustine, but there's a quote about "Man makes his plans and God laughs." In the bible it says that man plans his way but God directs his steps. I think that there's a rhyme and reason to things. It's not easy all the time. We're not God and we don't know the full purpose behind everything. If we did, we might be able to handle it too well.
R.V.B. - Were any of these songs road tested or where they contrived in the studio?
C.A. - Most of them were road tested. In between the three years when I had made the last album, I performed a lot of these songs out. In 2017, I sent the California song to the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and that got me into the Telluride Troubadour contest. That was the year that I won. I had played the Grandfather - Grandmother song on the road, so yeah, most of them were completely road tested. The only one that was never played out was Patchwork Journey. I wrote that in Telluride, Colorado this year. I had the final recording session scheduled for the album. I thought I was going to record one song but I wrote the song Patchwork Journey and I just knew it had to be on the album. I literally recorded it a week later. I had never played it out in public.
R.V.B. - That's another one that I put an asterisk on. I like the word cliché's as they relate to the title. How they're "sewn together." It was very clever. We're all of these songs recorded in the same studio?
C.A. - Yes. It they were all recorded in the same studio as Postmodern Man album. As luck would have it, in 2016 I moved to East Nashville about a mile and a half from the studio.
R.V.B. - Who are some noteworthy artists where you may have shared a bill with?
C.A. - Since I've been in Nashville I have been on some nice bills. One that comes to mind is when I played at the Bluebird Cafe, a few years ago with Ron Block. He is the banjo player for Allison Krauss. He has a nice solo career also. I was on a bill with him for an IBMA event at the Bluebird. That's the international Bluegrass Music Association. The very first time that I played an early show at the Bluebird Cafe... the late show was a benefit for a hospice in Nashville... a few of the artists that were on that show were Amy Grant and Vince Gill. I've got a table sheet from the Bluebird that has my name along with Vince Gill and Amy Grant... and my name is on top. Their font was bigger though (haha). I like to joke that I got top billing... if you don't count the font size.
R.V.B. - Haha. I've been to the Bluebird. I still find it Amazing that such a small place holds such a big aura.
C.A. - Yeah it really does. I've got a couple of shows coming up there this year... in February and March. It's my favorite place in Nashville to play. They treat the songwriters very well there. People come there to listen. It was great even before it got all that attention on the Nashville TV show. It doesn't even matter who's playing... your show will sell out in a few minutes. It's a great place.
R.V.B. - You've played at a few folk festivals. Do you enjoy the larger atmosphere as well?
C.A. - Yeah, I really do. The Kerrville Folk and Telluride Bluegrass Festivals have been my two favorites. They have a great vibe. I've made a lot of connections with other musicians. I've been fortunate enough to be in the finals of Kerrville New Folk Festival twice. I've been in the Telluride Bluegrass Troubadour Festival three times. The whole idea of a songwriting and performing contest can be kind of daunting. There's a subjective nature to it. If you go there with the right attitude... it's an honor to be in the finals of these contests. I look forward to meeting other artists and make some connections. That's the right attitude to have. I was fortunate enough to win the Telluride Troubadour contest in 2017.
R.V.B. - What was the prize for wining?
C.A. - I won a handmade Shanti guitar from Michael Hornick. It has inlays of the Telluride Troubadour 44th contest. It's a really nice guitar.
R.V.B. - What kind of guitars do you use today?
C.A. - I've got several acoustic guitars. Right now my main guitar is a Bourgeois. It's made out of Maine. I also have a Santa Cruz guitar. That's a dreadnought... mahogany with a spruce top. I have the Shanti that I use in the studio and play at home. I try not to take it out on the road too much. It's got a lot of sentimental value and I don't want anything to happen to it. My first really nice acoustic guitar was a Taylor 814. I'll use that on standard songwriter nights because it's got a really nice pickup system in it. It's just a good gig guitar. The Bourgeois is the one I use most often.
R.V.B. - What are your plans to support the new album. I know you mentioned a few places...
C.A. - I'm working through IVPR and Maria Ivey. She's helping me to get some appearances. I was on a couple of different radio shows in Nashville. I was on a program called "The Vinyl Lunch" on Monday. I'm going out to the Sundance Film Festival in a couple of weeks. I'm going to play in a few access film music showcases. I'm actually volunteering for the festival so I'll be out there for a couple of weeks. I'll try to network and meet some people out there. When I come back from Sundance, I've got some shows in Knoxville and of course the Bluebird shows. I'll be going to some more festivals and entering more songwriting contests. I want to concentrate on some more club dates and small listening room venues. I'll probably go to a couple of folk alliance conferences this year. I might take a trip up to NERFA, so I might be visiting Long Island before the end of the year.
R.V.B. - I hope to help you on my end for promotion. I look forward to sharing your story on my online music magazine.
C.A. - That's great.
R.V.B. - Thanks for chatting with me and good luck with the new album.
C.A. - I appreciate it Robert and I'm glad you liked the album.

Ok...elections are over and now real life starts again.
Are you laughing with joy that you won?
Are you crying that you lost?
Here's the reality, though...if you didn't vote, shut up. If you didn't vote you don't get to complain, you're sitting in the back seats getting driven around by people who were put in the driver's seat by the folks who voted.
And, if you don't like how things turned out you'll get another chance for change in two years...so, get to work making that happen.

In the book Talking Movies: Contemporary World Filmmakers in Interview, it was written by Jason Wood in 2006, there is an interview with Susanne Bier in the one that counts that first he studied compared religions and later architecture and
«I was interested very much in elements in the line of the movies, as the design of sets. Then I was interested more in the persons that in the walls that he had designed and I started reading scripts. I appeared as art director to the National Film and Television School in the United Kingdom and while it was in the interview said to them that it was not decided if she wanted to be an art director or director, and they said to me that I should go away to my house and me think it.
Very soon I appeared to director in Den Danske Filmskole. I am not like several masculine directors who have been fanatics of the cinema all his life».
According to Bier, it seems that the cinema more of the people deal that the architecture, which is very debatable, but yes it is true that the latter turns into a valuable intermediate step to end up by directing movies.
Also there ask him what directors were influencing him in those years and reply:
«I was incredibly influenced in those days by the directors as Antonioni that were using the architecture very significantly».
It is not the first time, it nor will be the last one, which the movies directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, recommend to themselves in this blog, because his fingerprint has been fundamental in the relations between the cinema and the architecture and, if it does not continue her being, only it will be able to be imputable to the lack of cinematographic culture so much of some filmmakers, since of some architects.

Yoga Today
Concentration can only be performed when the mind is free of all distractions. The mind must be clear of all external or internal thoughts. It begins with the breath. Why do this? Because if we can pull back from everyday life and quiet mind we will achieve balance, and balance brings clarity, and clarity brings tranquility.
You learn to do something by practicing it. You cannot learn to ride a bike by thinking about it. You must do it. So to learn to concentrate you must practice it. This is why we practice yoga.
You learn to do something by practicing it. You cannot learn to ride a bike by thinking about it. You must do it. So to learn to concentrate you must practice it. This is why we practice yoga.
old your mind to one object for 12 seconds. Nothing else must enter the mind ,but your focus on the object.
Concentration, meditation and Samadhi are something the yogi does, not something the yogi is. These are not of the body, but of the mind. These are internal mind action which is called kriya Yoga. You can never truly learn to free the mind until you learn to concentrate. You free the mind by teaching it to become free of distractions.
For example – if you wish to succeed at something you need to remove the distractions that keep you from concentrating. Focus brings results. To truly love you must remove anger, fear and mistrust. In this you will find true love which can only be found in your heart when the mind is free of distractions.
Yoga today –In yoga the mind is divided into three stages; dull, overactive and calm. The mind is dull and lethargic. It then becomes passionate and wild. To balance itself it becomes calm and serene. As human being we are physically and mentally in a constant interaction within these three states.
When the mind is dull it lack power and the ability to differentiate between foolishness and wisdom. When it is passionate it is draw towards ambition and discontentment. This creates cravings. Ultimately the mind becomes consumed by its own cravings. When the mind is quiet and serene we concentrate and discover spiritual insight. Sit quiet and concentrate on freeing the mind.

The elaborate schemes that Wile E. Coyote used to catch the Roadrunner frequently backfired, sending the cunning canid over a cliff that was so high you could hear only the faintest of sounds when he hit the ground. A small puff of dust was all the evidence you would need to know that Wile E. Coyote had, literally, bit the dust. The next thing you know, Roadrunner was speeding around a bend in the road only to find Wile E. Coyote, once again, executing another hair-brained scheme. To my child mind, there was nothing incongruous or illogical about Wile E. Coyote making an appearance after just having died. Death was part of life, but a repeatable part of life. Death hurt, but it didn't kill you. As an adult, that makes no sense, but it was perfectly rational to me as a child. Death was really no different than skinning your knee or falling out of a tree. Death was bad, but survivable.
When I was 10 or 11 years old, the Vietnam war was in full swing. "Tet offensive" and "My Lai" are burned into my memory. One night, I was watching the evening news with Walter Cronkite when CBS showed film clips of American soldiers moving through the jungle, engaging enemy forces. When Mr. Cronkite reported the number of soldiers killed that day, I remember thinking, for the first time in my life, that death is not a game; it is real; it is permanent. Unlike Wile E. Coyote, soldiers that died were not going to come back to fight another day. They would not be welcomed home by a kiss and a hug from their mothers. They were gone… forever. In that moment, the prospect of my own death frightened me.
As is the case with most kids, no one was there to help me understand death. No one came alongside me to help me figure out how to live life knowing that one day, on a day not of my choosing, I would die. Like most other kids, I was left to my own devices, to figure out how to deal with death, even if my strategy was completely irrational.
Through my prayers, I have recently come to terms with the life-long methods that I have used to bury my fear of death. One day, in prayer, I faced those fears, for the first time since 1963. Not only did I face my fear, but I recognized the seething anger that I harbor inside about the fact that Death is unbelievably awful. I had not known that I was so angry about Death, but once I acknowledged Death in my prayer, I realized why I might be angry as well as afraid:
Death is not only inevitable, but I cannot change the fact that it will happen to me. Death is not fair; I did not ask for death; I would not choose death. It is very bad; it is a very bad system, and it is going to happen, and it is going to happen at a time and through a method neither of which is my choosing and no one is going to ask me how or when I want it to happen. I cannot control death in any way; it has absolute, unforgiving, and absolutely merciless control over me; with absolute authority, death will take away my freedom, my life, my relationships, my goals, my dreams, my wants, my hopes, my pleasures. Death will not ask me if that's ok. Death does not care what I think or what I want. Death acts with absolute impunity. Death is permanent and, once I am dead, I have no option to change my mind and return to life. The choice has already been made for me. Choice is taken away. Freedom is gone. In the end, death will win and there is absolutely nothing that I can do about it.
It is no wonder that the apostle Paul characterized Death as the last Enemy. Death is truly an enemy, and an enemy of the highest rank. It is an enemy that cannot be avoided by elaborate delusion or vanquished by the best efforts of the medical community. I am amused when researchers argue that such-and-such a drug or lifestyle practice will reduce the incidence of death by a certain percentage. The lie that is implicit in such statements is that those who don't die from breast cancer or whooping cough will live forever. The truth is that, one way or another, Death gets everyone.
How does a person live with Death? How in the world do I look the greatest and most powerful Enemy of my soul in the face with any sense of courage? The apostle Paul put the question this way: "Who will save me from the body of this death?"
Most of us ask, and answer, the question differently: "What will save me from the body of this death?" We drink alcohol until we're numb, engage repeatedly in sexual pleasures that cover the pain, bury ourselves in our work, eat like there's no tomorrow, adopt religion in hopes that God won't let us die. Our chosen strategies, drinking, working, eating, starving, cutting, don't deal with the problem; death is still going to come to every one of us. We use these strategies anyway. The number of people on the planet who engage in these behaviors and ones like them is astounding, probably including almost everyone. Blaise Pascal, referring to our extreme vulnerability, said, "We are reeds, but we are thinking reeds." As far as we know, human beings are the only animals that can think about and anticipate their own death, their own vulnerability. From a young age, we know, deep down, that we are going to die. And we don't like this idea one bit. We know about it and we think about it, but there is absolutely nothing we can do about it.
It is not in our power to engage in a battle with Death and win. And considering that all the "whats" that we use to avoid the issue don't work, the apostle Paul asked the right question: "Who will save me from the body of this death?" Of course, Paul had Christ clearly in mind.
In the 1970s, Andrae Crouch popularized a song, the first line of which goes, "Jesus is the answer, for the world today." What I would like to know is how is Jesus the answer? I don't want to know how Jesus will deal with my existence after I am dead, but how he is the answer to my fear of and anger about death right now. I am unwilling to accept trite answers ("Just trust in Him"; "He will never leave you nor forsake you"; "Dude, you're going to heaven. What's there to worry about?"). Considering the fact that Christians are hardly immune to the behaviors that people commonly use to avoid coming to terms with death, trite answers are not answers at all. Clichés are just as useless as getting drunk.
We speak of the suffering and death of Christ, almost as if "suffering and death" were one word. The apostle Paul wrote, "I gave up all that inferior stuff so I could know Christ personally, experience his resurrection power, be a partner in his suffering, and go all the way with him to death itself." (Phil 3:10, The Message) Suffering and death were realities for both Christ and Paul and they went together, hand in glove. What about the rest of us?
Suffering is not limited to a select few religious people. "All humans born of women have a short life, and it is full of suffering." (Job 14:1) Walter Ciszek was a Jesuit priest who spent 5 years in solitary confinement in Moscow followed by 15 years at hard labor in a slave labor camp in Siberia. He knew a thing or two about suffering and offers the following helpful insight:
"For each of us, salvation means no more and no less than taking up daily the same cross of Christ, accepting each day what it brings as the will of God, offering back to God each morning all the joys, works, and sufferings of that day. But those are abstract words… It means getting up each morning and going to bed exhausted. It means the routine, not the spectacular. It can mean drudgery, pain, putting aside pleasures, happiness, or the love the human heart craves until another time, so that what is necessary at the moment can be done. It means working for others, touching the lives of others, through the medium of the body." (Ciszek, He Leadeth Me)
Those of us who want to spiritualize suffering, or define suffering only in terms of overtly religious acts (i.e., persecution), are at risk of missing the suffering that is inherent in life on a planet cursed by sin. That some suffer more than others does not negate the fact that all suffer. Jesus' redemptive work on the cross does not in any way mean that I will escape either death or suffering. Just as Christ suffered and died, so I, too, suffer and will die. How can I ask any more of God than to follow in Christ's footsteps through a life of suffering that ends in death? The Son of God was not rescued from a life of suffering and he was not preserved from Death. The pattern of my life will be exactly the same. And, since Christ was raised from the dead, then I, too, will be raised, so that I may continue to follow Him.
So, how am I to face that dreaded enemy, Death? The same way Christ did.

A female British national and a top local chef have been killed and two others seriously injured after a car ploughed into a group of cyclists along the Churchill Roosevelt Highway early Saturday.
The deceased were identified as Joanna Banks, 40, who died at the scene and Joe Browne, a chef at the popular Jaffa at the Oval restaurant, who was pronounced dead on arrival at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex in Mt Hope.
Details are sketchy but reports suggest the female cyclist may have drowned after she was thrown into a ditch at the side of the highway after a car ran into a group of about 14 cyclists heading east opposite the Beetham Landfill.
Beetham residents who came out to assist the crash victims did not initially see Banks, a bpTT employee, because the ditch is also full of water and overgrown with tall grass. In fact, her teammates were giving most of their attention to Browne, who appeared to be the most seriously injured, until someone spotted her body and two of her teammates pulled her out of the ditch.
The driver told police he got a flat tyre, causing him to lose control of the vehicle and run off the roadway into the cyclists. One of the cyclists said he heard a screeching noise before the car hit the group and tossed many of them into the nearby ditch.
The deceased were members of the Slipstream Cycling Club, of Port-of-Spain, who were heading out on their usual Saturday morning training ride to east Trinidad after leaving the Queen's Park Oval around 6.15 am.

The Problem With Mussolini and His Trains
3 comments :
Obviously, American fascism is not now, and will not be in the future, like past fascist regimes. Sure there might be similarities, but we shouldn't be swept away by them.ReplyDelete
Fascism, in the broadest terms, is about government intervention in business, without the government actually taking over. Communism is where the government takes over and on behalf of the "people" now owns everything.
In that sense, both parties, Democrat and Republican, are quite fascist. For example, the Democrats want to force people to not discriminate on hiring transgenders. I don't know about anyone else, but that's just creepy to me to have a man wearing a dress answering the phones at the office.
That's why I prefer Republican fascism. Republicans tend to have a hands off attitude to governing. So I would expect that to translate into laissez faire fascism.
My fear, and it's a Bernie Sanders based fear, is that Leftist fascism will morph into communism.
