Dyslexic Teen, Jessica Watson is now the Youngest to Sail Around the World. She Lands in Front of the Sydney Opera House, Designed by a Dyslexic

2010-05-16T07:55:00Z

After nearly seven months on her own, sailing around the world in the deep blue sea, days away from her finish line, Jessica Watson contemplates her "two more sleeps till the finish line!" (An Australian phrase). She's thinking about a hot shower, fresh food and everything else! She's more excited than if it were Christmas.

"I think it's going to take a fair bit longer than that for the whole 'I've just sailed around the world' thing to sink in. It's just too big to get my head around!" Jessica wrote on her blog.

Although this 16-year-old says she enjoyed being away from her "annoying" brother, she also misses him. And of course her Mum and Dad. Ella's Pink Lady, a 30 foot yacht, assisted her round-the-world trip, but not with out reminding her the dangers of such a journey. [See previous article]

Saturday, May 15, 2010 Jessica Watson sailed into Australia's Sydney Harbor, past thousands of boats awaiting her arrival. Thousands of people lined up along the harbor, inspired by her young and unwavering bravery. From a sea of ocean and fish to a sea of people, everyone gave her a hero's welcome. I wish I could have been there.

When you look at her journey on a map, the GPS path resembles an spike in a heart beat monitor. The sea can be unforgiving but graced Jessica with the right of passage. It was an uplifting passage to all, especially herself, and a boost for those who followed her journey. The beginning of her journey started when she didn't feel she had a lot going for her because of her dyslexia. Her mother read her a book "The Lion's Heart" that sparked her determination to be the next youngest to sail around the world solo. Although there is not an official 'world record' kept anymore (because it is to dangerous to challenge), it was about the journey. The outer journey and the inner journey. Jesse Martin did it when he was 18, and now Jessica Watson has at 16. As everyone looks to Jessica and cheers her on, I look behind her, and the fact she rode in and was welcomed in front the most famous masterpiece in Australia, "The Sydney Opera House" designed by Jørn Utzon, also dyslexic.

One Tough Cookie: The Journey of a Dyslexic 16 year old, Jessica Watson, Sails Around the World

2010-04-19T20:34:00Z

It's not often, not often at all, when a fellow dyslexic (or anyone for that manner) gives me the chills when I hear about their journey. Or that it stays in my head throughout the day, constantly thinking, "Wow!!" But this journey isn't one I would recommend, even for a seasoned adult. It is one that would wrap up a lifetime of searching for answers in one good day, and certainly force you to grow up in one big wave. This is the journey of sixteen-year-old Jessica Watson. Right now, she is somewhere Down Under in the deep blue ocean on her last stretch towards home of her six month journey around the world. She started out on October 17, 2009, determined to beat the record of Jesse Martin, the youngest to sail around the world unassisted. Monday, April 19, 2010 marked the sixth month into her journey of over 20,000 miles.

She sails on a sponsored boat she named “Ella’s Pink Lady.” Another sponsor, Panasonic, is allowing her to video tape her journey and SatCom which allows her to communicate it back home via satellite. In the meantime, she has been journaling her experience almost bi weekly through blogging photos and stories to her website , and videos on Youtube , tweets on twitter , etc.

If the thought of this journey doesn’t give you white knuckles and make you want to hold your breath thinking about it, get this: Before she started her journey on a 10-day test run, she was broadsided by a huge 63,000 ton cargo vessel, the Silver Yang. The ship ripped her sail and broke her mast like a toothpick, sending it crashing down in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, ALONE!

Imagine. It’s not as if you can turn on the porch light, look out to a lit street and identify the Mac Truck that hit your house and call for help. You're alone, you're asleep, you’re 16, (maybe a little crazy), you're in the middle of the ocean on a small boat, it's 2:30 in the morning and suddenly you get hit by something of which you’re not sure of yet. You look out your porthole thinking, "What the heck!!" 'Cause whatever it is, it's so big you can’t see both ends to identify it. If you had the chance to yell at whoever hit you, they're steering the boat from half a football field away and can’t hear you. When the cargo ship hit her, they didn’t even bother to stop, leaving her in the dust to survive on her own.

Did I mention that she is 16?

The journey alone has been an inspiration but not without mixed reviews. Many think the parents are crazy for letting her go in the first place. Many might sit alone on their boat after an encounter like that and think it’s a sign from God not to go on.

Or if you’re one tough cookie like Jessica Watson, you would be empowered by surviving such an encounter. An encounter with a 63,000 ton cargo vessel, an encounter with an ignorant public, or an encounter with a school system that doesn't understand how to teach a multi-dimensional Freethinker, a Lion heart and spirit.

What ails this teenager to take such a daring journey? Inspiration came from the book The

Lionsheart about Jesse Martin's journey and, (in the back of her mind), a bit of

frustration with her thoughts of her future with dyslexia. Jessica Watson didn’t just

wake up one day after being inspired by the book; she was already an avid sailor

for years. Since she started, there has been a lot of media coverage about the ride

and a lot of ignorance from the public. Like one idea, "How can she write when she

has dyslexia?"

Oh, you mean like how dyslexic authors Hans Christian Anderson,

Agatha Christie, Earnest Hemingway, Steven Cannell, Fannie Flagg, Patricia Polacco,

Debbie Macomber, Andrew Dornenburg, William Butler Yeats, Stacy Poulos, and

author Mark Twain (just to name a few who managed to write books). For me, she is an

inspiration. She reminds me of my youth, of not understanding my dyslexia yet being

determined to follow my heart.

As I know, she (and others) wonder about her dyslexia and what future she might

have. She was even quoted as saying, "I didn't have anything going for me." I can

understand the reason why one might feel this way. What she doesn't realize now

(but hope she will in her last stretch home) is that she sails in the spirit of so many who

have shared her frustration and succeeded. She is surrounded by them.

A few more dyslexic names that came to mind when reading about

this journey are explorers: Inventor William Lear, inventors Orville & Wilbur

Wright, aviator Charles Lindbergh, 19-year-old playwright Danielle Mullen,

Arctic explorer Ann Bancroft and astronaut Charles "Pete" Conrad Jr. She

also has dyslexic neighbors: Managing Director of Parle Foods Australia, Anthony

Parle (supplier of McDonalds Pickles), and singer, songwriter, and activist John Lennon.

Oh, and the most famous building masterpiece in Australia which she is pictured sailing in front of. The Sydney Opera House was designed by Jørn Utzon, also dyslexic.

These are your colleagues, Jessica Watson. You have a greater

future than you could ever imagine.. starting with your motivation and sense of adventure.

Harness your assets, and you have more than you know.

Go Jessica Watson, God Bless your journey.

Please join my FreeThinkers University, it would be my honor! You are an example of why

I am so passionate about producing Dyslexia TV and FreeThinkers University.

Television's Most Prolific Writer, Spanning 3 Decades; Steven Cannell Demystifies His Life As A Dyslexic Writer

2010-02-11T03:56:19Z

As dyslexia makes some areas of academia difficult, it doesn't make

it impossible. Just ask Steven Cannell. It made some areas of his life

difficult, but certainly not impossible. At this time he has written

15 novels, including the critically acclaimed Shane Scully series. He

became one of television's most prolific writers, spanning three

decades. His TV hits include: Greatest American Hero, The A-Team,

Hunter, Riptide, Hardcastle & McCormick, 21 Jump Street, Wiseguy, The

Commish, Renegade and Silk Stalkings. And one I watched often growing

up, The Rockford Files. Who knew, from all those days of watching the The

Rockford Files, it was written by a man who had dyslexia.

Those days I was struggling to get through English, and closet writing. Cannell came as an

affirmation before my very eyes that the difficulties I was experiencing

didn't have to shame my ambition to write. It didn't stop me from

writing, it all just went into a storage bin in my closet because I

was still compelled to write regardless of the discouragement I got

from teachers. (The "authorities" in writing?) Eventually some of those

stories got pieced together in a funny book "Life In A Nutshell."

Check it out Steven, let me know what you think.

Cannell is not ashamed to advocate that he had dyslexia. In fact, if you

click on the link you will see a series of videos where Cannell

talks about his dyslexia as he attempts to demystify what it meant

in his life to become a big time Hollywood writer.

Right on Steven. Have your people call my people.

Dyslexia is Running Around Dis logic Without A Reference Point Recent Brain Research

2010-02-03T02:20:52Z

One thing that bothered me as a child AND as a adult is how you are
constantly tested for dyslexia or really just a grade level. I found
the test in school just made me feel more insecure and humiliated.
You take them often, I think like every quarter? And it's the same
one from elementary school, to Jr. High, to High school and believe
it or not... College! I felt they just wanted to always know, what
'skills' level I was at all times. After stepping away and hiding out
from the 'Learning Assistance' people, I was caught and forced to
take the test again if I wanted to continue on to a 4 year
University. At the time, being removed from that part of the system
for so long, I thought maybe things changed, heck, I'm in "College"
they have to have something better now? So I went through the
humiliating process again. After all was said and done, I thought
they would have a better sense of that "I see like this or that" or
I don't understand certain concepts about reading or something
important. But no, what I got was what they were always looking for
from the day I flunked the second grade... a grade level. My reading
level, comprehension, etc. is so many grade levels below what it
should. I guess the only benefit at the end of the rainbow is with my
renewed certification of having a 'Learning Disability', that I got
more time on test, books on tape, and tutoring if I needed it. So I
don't have a lot of respect for the process because they do not
address how we think or change how they teach. When I do come across
information I believe understands the process, I report it.

In the article 'Freaky news about your brain may change your mind'
CNNHealth.com Elizabeth Landau suggests ..."New research in the
journal Current Biology suggests that, in fact, people do tend to
walk in circles if they do not have a reference point such as the
sun...

....In one experiment, participants were taken to the Sahara Desert
and given the direction of camp, then left to wander for four hours.
In a second scenario, participants were dropped in a forest in
Germany, also given a direction, and walked for four hours...

...."Walking in a straight line is a complicated process when you
think about it from the perspective of the brain," said Jan Souman,
researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in
Germany.

.....Their hypothesis is that, the longer people walk, their errors in
relation to a straight line build up by chance to the left or right.
This may result in a zigzag pattern. Over time, the tendencies to the
left or right may take the person in a circle." ...

....The lesson from this study is that, if you want to walk straight,
use a landmark such as a tower, mountain, or the sun to update your
direction, Souman said. If it's life-threatening that you get to your
destination, bring a compass or a GPS. ..."

The lesson for the teachers is that in processing language is the
same concept. Young Dyslexic students are not going to accept that a
'b,d, p, and q' are different letters. It is one letter orientated 4
different ways, that means something different in each orientation.
How crazy is this teachers and parents? Why don't we just accept it
and move onto the next letter? Because we don't get the dis-logic
about using the same letter and we are stuck on it. We visualize what
we think and the logic behind it. When you help us visualize it, we
get it. Then we can move on. When it comes to some of the basics like
'b,d, p, and q' tell us when we are stuck that the reversed
orientation of a 'b, is a 'd'.

You may have answered the logic why
they see the 'b' in the 'd' the perspective issue but you still
didn't completely appeal to our 'logic'. Anyway you slice it, it's a
gift to think three-dimensionally but not when you're reading one
dimensional text stuck on a page. We are sensory learners. In this
article they talk about sound and smell as well. She says "... a
treatment for tone deafness might also help people with speech
disorders such as dyslexia, she said. There has been evidence that
people with dyslexia have same auditory processing problems as people
with tone deafness, she said. Her lab showed last year that children
with musical training performed better on dyslexia tests....

How do you help students visualize non visual words? Like the word
'the' I don't know? you have to be inventive and creative. "The Gift
Of Dyslexia" By Ron Davis suggests using clay, here they illustrated
'the'. It shows the students 'the' is a 'pointing and connection
word' that bridges the the gap and becomes logical.

Macworld Conference & Expo February 9 to 13, 2010

Macworld Conference & Expo February 9-13, 2010
San Francisco CA Moscone Center

http://www.macworldexpo.com/

If it wasn't for Macintosh, I wouldn't be on a computer. If your on the fence about Mac
get off it and come over to the bright side of computing experience. In comparison
Mac is more expensive, but so is being in constant agony and repair. Computers
are no joke. They are hosting many importing things from your photos to your financing
and personal information. Pay in the beginning, or pay in the end, and if anyone ever
owned a PC they know exactly what I mean. It doesn't make common sense to keep
paying for something that toys with your lively hood. I am a media professional
and witness many of my client's including Kraft Foods, spend millions of dollars
to make sure their world was not going to come down at the year 2000. A problem
Microsoft foreseen many years a head of time. Yet still sold the program up to the day.
It's not the public's responsibility to understand the complexity of a computer and how
it can screw with your life. It is up to the makers of them to watch out for you. So they saved
a couple of hundred per computer in the beginning, that paled in comparison
what they had to pay in the end. For me anyone who would put me in that position-
I would never do business with them again. Apple has a long history of integrity in
there product. I don't have a lot of money, but I will spend my last dime to get a mac
it is a absolute return on my money. But more that that it is a pleasant experience
every time I use it. Stop thinking computers are computers. Live life for the experience
get some cool in your life everyday. Who cares if for years a majority of the
people in the world have PC's, we are not cow's that are supposed to follow a herd.

Macintosh is naturally 'dyslexic friendly'. Maybe that's because
Steve Jobs the developer is dyslexic himself. I always rave about
Apple with good reason. It's simple, logical, and easy to use, and it
gets better every year! Last year we found many products that enhance
the dyslexic user. Go to MacWorld Expo and see all the vendors. IDG
puts on a good show. Expo doesn't start until the February this year.

I believe that people can accomplish anything if given the proper information Erin Brockovich

2010-01-24T06:40:00Z

"I believe that people can accomplish anything if given the proper information." "... I am an advocate for awareness, the truth, and a person's right to know. I believe that in the absence of the truth, all of us stand helpless to defend ourselves, our families and our health, which is the greatest gift we have. As with everything, some people always go too far, too far to the right, too far to the left, and this is true of environmentalism and now, in many instances, our issues fall on a deaf ear.

Often times we don’t think about or worry about or understand what is happening to another until it happens to us. Deceits have no boundaries. Disease doesn’t recognize the color of our skin or our political parties affiliation. When it comes to cover-ups and destruction of our environment, we are all up for grabs...." - Erin Brockovich

Vince Vaughn Actor and Comedian

2010-01-08T00:23:19Z

                      Vince Vaughn
                       [photo: wikipedia.org]

Tel Aviv University Reporter's Judd Handler asked Vaughn "Everyone
has their soft spots in their self-esteem, where do yours lie?..."

Vaughn replied: "In a lot of ways, as a kid I had a hard time reading
in school. I was the kid who would go one period a day to the class
for kids with learning disabilities." "...The teachers thought I
was crazy. I was sort of a wild kid. But I always felt like, if a kid
is getting up to give a speech and he's starting to cry, he's gotta
go to school with us for the rest of the year, and your
[messing]....with him, making him stand up there. I'd tell the kid to
sit down. And they'd say, "You can't tell him that, it's my class."
And I'd say, "Give him a break on the speech, he just ... cried in
front of you." What do you want? He's gotta go and hang out, he's
gotta go to school for the rest of the day. You want him to sit up
there the whole period and cry? ...So I would get in a lot of trouble
for that kind of stuff. I was always confidante enough to say, "This
is... crazy."

Vaughn regarding the movie Swingers: "...People would offer money to
buy it and wanted to change it. ... Look, we weren't trying to make
something everyone in the world would love. And I think by doing
that, people saw that value in the film."

Vaughn: "I thought Elvis was cool ... because he wasn't a ... [jerk]
with it. He was warm and a gentleman. He was able to make fun of
himself. He was just smooth. I have always thought Clint Eastwood was
real cool. I like Walter Matthau in the Bad News Bears. I always
thought there was something really honest about that. ..."

Vaughn: "The last book I read was the book I've been rereading most
of my life, The Fountainhead (Ayn Rand)."

About Vaughn:
Vaughn was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and grew up in Buffalo
Grove, Illinois where he played football and wrestled. Eventually he
moved to Lake Forest, Illinois, where he graduated from Lake Forest
High School in 1988. He developed an interest in theater at A young
age and decided to become an actor in 1987.

Some of the movies Vaughn appeared in are: The Lost World: Jurassic
Park, Old School, Starsky & Hutch and Dodgeball, Anchorman, Be Cool,
Swingers , Thumbsucker and [wikipedia.org] Mr. & Mrs. Smith, The
Break-Up, Wedding Crashers, Santa Claus, Into the Wild, Couples
Retreat. Television series; China Beach and CBS Schoolbreak.

Vaughn is also an avid fan of the Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago Bears
and Chicago Cubs and the University of Notre Dame, all of which are
featured prominently in his film The Break-Up. Similarly, Vaughn
played a small part in the movie Rudy.

My intentions were to inspire A group of dyslexic kids, it turned out they inspired me. Dyslexia TV beginnings.

2010-01-07T00:32:43Z

In 1991 I my intentions were to inspire A group of dyslexic kids, it
turned out they inspired me. They changed my goal to from writing A
book about my schooling, to making it my mission to help them
understand the depth of their dyslexia was A blessing in disguise. At
the time I made videos that I would someday make something of for
broadcast. When the web came along in 1998 I produced "Dyslexia TV"
as A sub website of my company "Playback.net". As I though someday I
would pass away, I wanted my work to carry on - so i can 'will
Dyslexia TV and FreeThinkers University". My big idea was to will it
to Oprah because I knew she would carry on the integrity of my intent.


                    [Permission slip June 5th, 1991]

When the Dot TV people released '.tv' to the general public I jumped
on the name dyslexia.tv in 2000... "Domain name: dyslexia.tv
Registrant Creation date: 10 Nov 2000 16:42:37". Of course I had to
pay A premium price --out of my pocket. But I wanted it to be easy
for people to get to it and I am A producer of television and I knew
someday I would be able to put my History of videos on line. I also
need to register Dyslexia TV as A business name so no one else can be
"dyslexia TV". In January 5th, 2005, I registered. My filing was up
yesterday so I had to re-file and now I'm good again till 2010. I
could use support to help maintain all these issues since someone
else on the web was using my name... representing themselves as
"Dyslexia TV". Luckily I had these things in place to prove it.

"Richard Branson's Virgin Success
The Incredible Triumph of an Enigmatic Entrepreneur

By: John Shepler

When Richard Branson's granny was 99, she wrote him to say that the
last 10 years had been her best. He should read the book, "A Brief
History of Time" by Stephen Hawking. She had loved it. But most of
all, her advice to Richard was "You've got one go in life, so make
the most of it." Those are words that mean so much to Richard
Branson, as they go right to the heart of his belief in making it on
your own. Now, head of 150 or so enterprises that carry the Virgin
name, with a personal wealth estimated at nearly $3 billion, he has
followed that personal dream and made the most of it. He still holds
the record as fastest to cross the Atlantic ocean by boat. He was in
the race to circle the globe in a balloon. It is a success that was
never expected for a dyslexic, nearsighted boy."

The FREE John Lennon Educational Tour Bus is a non-profit mobile
audio and HD video recording and production facility. Must See for
Teachers! Macworld 2010 February 9-13, 2010 San Francisco CA Moscone Center

John Lennon is a fellow Multi-dimensional FreeThinker (aka dyslexic).
His brilliant ideas about peace were popular amongst many, but frown
up by the government in the 1970's. His legacy from playing in the
world famous "Beatles" to a solo artist, gained him world wide
respect. You can read more about John Lennon here.

I like to cover creative out lets for my Multi-dimensional
FreeThinking colleagues. Creative outlets for me are like therapy for
the soul and excite interest in learning.

As for the bus, if you are a student bring this to your teachers
attention, if you are a teacher it is a FREE --at you're school--
service! Give the kids a break and go on a field trip in your parking
lot through the most important asset of the future and turn them on
to technology, dyslexic or not.

The Bus provides free hands-on programs to hundreds of high schools,
colleges, Boys and Girls Clubs, music festivals, concerts,
conventions and community organizations. Working together with some
of the biggest names in music, the Lennon Bus encourages students to
play music, write songs, engineer recording sessions and produce
video projects using the latest audio, video, and live sound
equipment.

The interior is divided into three separate studio environments that
can be opened to create one large studio. The front studio is a
cutting-edge audio and video production room. The rear studio offers
pro-level recording and mixing at the highest possible resolution, as
well as an iso booth for acoustic recordings, and a chromate (green
screen) booth. Powered by Apple computers, the studios feature
traditional musical instruments and the latest Sony HD products and
solutions. Also on-board is a Mackie P.A. system enabling
performances on the side of the Bus.

Request the Bus - Send them your contact information.

Suggestions: Teachers before you get the bus to come to your maybe
you can think of a academic subject students can make a music video
about? Like biology, or History, math. What ever your teaching, have
them teach other students through music. If you come up with
something cool, you can write me and I will post the videos. Of
course you will have to get permission from the parents. I will only
post videos that are 'educational' or 'inspirational'. Especially
when it comes to dyslexia.
