Emiliano Salinas: A Civil Response to Violence-TEDx Video


Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com




From TEDx-About this video
In this passionate talk from TEDxSanMigueldeAllende that's already caused a sensation in Mexico, Emiliano Salinas, son of former president Carlos Salinas de Gortari, confronts the current climate of violence in Mexico -- or rather, how Mexican society responds to it. He calls on ordinary citizens to move from denial and fear to peaceful, community-based action. This is the first talk posted on TED.com that was delivered in a language other than English. (It has English subtitles by default.)

I wish I had these is Spanish - to share, it's an excellent video

Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com

So YVR is having a REALLY COOL CONTEST, but I can not enter, because I can't take my child. Bummer. BIG TIME. I would have ROCKED IT.

But I do want mention one thing...this contest is worth $55,650 which spread out over 80 days is $695.25 a Day!!! That's right, a day! That's what it works out to.

So that's pretty friggin' AMAZING.

So they get it. They get the value of paying someone to do Social Media for them in the form of VIDEOS, and Facebook and Tweet them everyday.

Kudos, Big Time!! That is just awesome!

WATCH :The Story of Cosmetics- Excellent 7 minute Film


Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com 

Check out this really fantastic animated video that explains the complexities of the cosmetic industry in a simple way that even a child can understand. 

And that is exactly what I did with my daughter, we watched this together. 


See for yourself. I'm sure you'll be surprised at many things.


Uploaded by storyofstuffproject on Jul 20, 2010

The Story of Cosmetics, released on July 21st, 2010, examines the pervasive use of toxic chemicals in our everyday personal care products, from lipstick to baby shampoo.

Produced with Free Range Studios and hosted by Annie Leonard, the seven-minute film by The Story of Stuff Project reveals the implications for consumer and worker health and the environment, and outlines ways we can move the industry away from hazardous chemicals and towards safer alternatives.

The film concludes with a call for viewers to support legislation aimed at ensuring the safety of cosmetics and personal care products.

Love From Oaxaca

Was just going thru some videos, I came across this and thought I'd share it, this is from when Angel and I were in Oaxaca and there was a Contest to travel for Flight Centre. I made this video. I look a little rough, it was really really hot. I love Angel, she's so cute as my little cucaracha. Happy Friday All!

The Airport- Emotion Overload


Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com 

So I just have to write a bit more about the Airport and the Live at the YVR Contest  

The airport is so emotional for me, I always cry. Not sobbing crying, but that incredible emotional moment where tears well up and you feel like you'll burst if a few don't spill out. It's an emotional overload.

It's the place you say good-bye or hello again :). Everytime I leave to go on a big trip, I'm so full of emotion and excitement it happens. And everytime I come home...it happens. As we stand around the luggage carousel, you get that ahhhh, Wow! I'm home. I guess because we've been on some pretty big journeys and those are just natural emotions you can not suppress, even if you wanted to.

I mean who wants to start crying when there are tons of people standing around, but you can't help it.
So what an exciting contest. I think it would be a totally awesome experience. 

Well just wanted to add this little bit. Have a great day everyone!! And Bon Voyage & Welcome Home to everyone at the YVR today!!

Bill to legalize marijuana introduced by Lawmakers


Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com 

A group of US representatives plan to introduce legislation that will legalize marijuana and allow states to legislate its use, pro-marijuana groups said Wednesday.

The legislation would limit the federal government's role in marijuana enforcement to cross-border or inter-state smuggling, and allow people to legally grow, use or sell marijuana in states where it is legal. Read more here.

To the people who stole my Les Paul (Ladner/Tsawwassen)


Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com 

I saw this on my Facebook Newsfeed and I thought I would try and help. Let's see if we can get Maurice's very cherished one of kind to him guitar back.

http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rds/msg/2449158332.html

To the people who stole my Les Paul (Ladner/Tsawwassen)


Date: 2011-06-21, 9:11AM PDT
Reply to: sale-quajk-2449158332@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]


To the people who stole most of my stuff out of my studio on June 5, including my main guitar of 43 years, let me tell you about it.

It's a very altered, but very real 1953 Gibson Les Paul Model - Serial # 3 0621 (stamped on the back of the headstock)

This is not a gold-top. In the 1950's, it was refitted with an ABR-1 bridge and stop tailpiece, and then refinished, all by Gibson. The green colour in the picture, (especially on the rear half of the body where the light reflection is less), is accurate. It's one of the lightest Gibson Les Pauls, and the only one of its' colour, that I've ever seen.

I've made many other changes to this guitar in favour of playability:
--changed the P-90's to humbuckers
--had the neck thinned and it, the back and the sides were refinished
--when it was refinished, the serial # was stamped in
--replaced worn out machine heads with gold Gibson ones
--added brass switch ring, jack plate, and rear cavity covers that were made for me by my now-deceased brother-in-law
--added a truss rod cover with "Les Paul" on it
--installed strap-locks (for obvious reasons)
--there will be traces of violin bow resin in and under various parts. It is the best guitar ever for bowing.

This is a one-of-a-kind instrument in so many ways. It is completely recognizable, down to every screw on it.

I've been in the music business all my life, and have a large list of friends and contacts. With the help of countless amazing people, many who I don't even know, http://web.me.com/outgolfing/Equipment (which details what you took) has been sent across Canada and around the world to more people - musicians, music stores, pawn shops, studios, rehearsal rooms, and other musically related businesses - than I ever imagined possible. It's been passed around since you broke in, and is continually going out to more people. In fact, I'd bet people reading this will pass the link on to others if they already haven't. This will continue unendingly until I find my guitars and other equipment. My green Les Paul is already one of the most recognizable instruments in Canada, I can guarantee you that.

Here's your scenario:
--No collector will want this instrument because it's not even close to original.
--No legitimate business will buy it from you.
--Any creep who would knowingly buy a stolen guitar will give you a pittance for it.
--If you keep it for yourself, you'll never be able to play anywhere with it, and it will tie you to the crime and to all of the other stolen equipment for as long as you have it.
--You didn't even take the case.

It's my most personal possession, and I have always planned for my son to have it one day. By the way, the other Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier head you took was his.

It's not of much value to you, but to me, I can't buy another Les Paul like it because another one doesn't exist.. Here's a thought:

Have some decency and redeem some karma. Bring my guitar back. You've fucked my studio up and stolen a life-time collection of my shit. You stole my guitar rig, which was MY sound that I've spent years achieving.

You haven't ripped off a money making business. You've ripped off my life and my spirit immeasurably by taking away the tools of the pursuit of my passion. I've worked extremely hard for my whole life to earn my right to do so, and you took it all away in an hour or two. You've also ripped off my son, now, and in the future. I don't have the money to replace the gear, so it's just gone.

Just give it back - NO QUESTIONS ASKED. PLEASE

Maurice

Hurricane BEATRIZ- Mexico- West Coast


Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com 

UPDATE: Yay BEATRIZ HAS DISSIPATED, do you believe our prayers and positive thoughts helped. I do!!

There is a hurricane hitting Mexico's West Coast today. Please I ask you to take a moment and say a prayer, to think a calming thought...for winds to calm, for water to calm...for Mother Earth to calm down, for the wind and the rain to calm. I am praying for all the wonderful people in those areas that we met when we travelled, for friends and families. I am sending this little angel to watch over you all. Please God look after all these wonderful people and keep them out of harms way. Please Mother Nature, let there be peace and calm.---

Do you ever wonder if all the tensions and negative energy around us create these negative events in nature? I heard a man speaking recently saying that we are one with nature...we are not outside nature. Perhaps if we all calm down, Mother Nature will calm down.

Please "KEEP IT ON A HIGHER LEVEL" #thisismyvancouver


Blog post by Tina Winterlik © 2011"

http://tinawinterlik.blogspot.com 

Just listening to some of the news out there, Please People I implore you to keep things on a higher level. Creating more negative energy will not do anything except make the negative energy GROW.

Stay on the higher level. Channel the energy into something positive. Art Therapy in the example of the "Wall of Love" or the "Kindness Flag Project."

Remember :  
DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU'D HAVE DO UNDO TO YOU
(If you did something terrible, would you want your family terrorized, ...sending hate mail and threatening these people is not going to solve anything)

Treat others as you wish to be treated.  
(We all make mistakes, no one is perfect, many people are challenged.. is it healthy to hurt & punish people who obviously have mental issues... making them give back for what they have done should be their punishments, but it must be done on a higher level, not by vigilantes, then you lower yourself to their level and show that you are challenged too! )

He who lives in a glass house shouldn't throw stones.
(Who doesn't live in a glass house?)

You have to keep in mind, the people who did this are "challenged", they have to be right? otherwise why would they have done this. We all make mistakes, sometimes terrible mistakes, but we have to take the the higher road and do not add to the terrible negative energy that created all this.

Please think about this carefully.  Watch the video I put on this page about Meditation- and Energy...they're super amazing. Think Martin Luther, Ghandi, all peaceful reactions to terrible things, we must emulate these actions.
