Incase Ripstop Backpack
Incase Rip-Stop Backpack
Everything from their iPod cases to their laptop bags are top notch and both severely stylish and functional. So it's no surprise that their new Rip-Stop Backpack ($100) grabbed our attention. Made of lightweight Rip-Stop Nylon, the bag has a fresh green/tan/black color scheme, a fur-lined laptop compartment that fits up to a 17" MacBook Pro, and a plethora of compartments for all your extras. It's also got a cord management system for your iPod earphones and padded shoulder, chest and waist straps. Isn't it time you quit toting around your MacBook Pro in that ratty Jansport?

Attitude (It's your choice) Who will you be
One of my good colegues sent this to me today. Let me know what you think.
I guess my mom sent this to me at a good time.......
John is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"
He was a natural motivator.
If an employee was having a bad day, John was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up and asked him, "I don't get it!
You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"
He replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or ... you can choose to be in a bad mood
I choose to be in a good mood."
Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or...I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.
Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or... I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.
"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested.
"Yes, it is," he said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood.
You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life."
I reflected on what he said. Soon hereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.
Several years later, I heard that he was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower.
After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, he was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.
I saw him about six months after the accident.
When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins...Wanna see my scars?"
I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon-t o-be born daughter," he replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or...I could choose to die. I chose to live."
"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked
He continued, "..the paramedics were great.
They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'. I knew I needed to take action."
"What did you do?" I asked.
"Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me," said John. "She asked if I was allergic to anything 'Yes, I replied.' The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Gravity'."
Over their laughter, I told them, "I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."
He lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude... I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.
Attitude, after all, is everything.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

Canon ZR 800
Well we Mike Huber, Joan Eserich, Kathy (my wife) and I decided that we would try to do some video for ourselfvs. We went to look at Best Buy and they did not have any Camcorder's with a plug for mics that we can add on so we went over to the Mays Landing shoping area to the mall and went to the Camera Shop part of the Ritz Camera Centers and purchased a Canon ZR 800 because it has the audio mic plug. We did some video in wide screen and it looks fabilious. Cant wait to see what we come up with. Come back soon also feel free to start checking out www.victortarassov.com and go to the video tab we will be putting some of our stuff on youtube.

New MOTU Traveler for Road and Studio
UH what a few days sick sick sick and then tried to do some music and both my Motu 828mkII and Ultra Light went on the blink. The 828 is getting shiped back to MOTU for repair and the UltraLight went back to Sam Ash, Instead of a even returen I purchased a MOTU Traveler. So far all is well with the Travler. It did take a bit of time to set up with Logic Pro 7 and the Mackie Control Universal. But all is well right now. I am so glad. I did get the new iLife 08 and have had some problme swith iWeb. Hears a pick of the new Travler.
