Pablo Neruda
Poet Details
"No writer of world renown is perhaps so little known to North Americans as Chilean poet Pablo Neruda," observed New York Times Book Review critic Selden Rodman. Numerous critics have praised Neruda as the greatest poet writing in the Spanish language during his lifetime, although many readers in the United States have found it difficult to disassociate Neruda's poetry from his fervent commitment to communism. An added difficulty lies in the fact that Neruda's poetry is very hard to translate; his works available in English represent only a small portion of his total output. Nonetheless, declared John Leonard in the New York Times, Neruda "was, I think, one of the great ones, a Whitman of the South."
Born Ricardo Eliezer Neftali Reyes y Basoalto, Neruda adopted the pseudonym under which he would become famous while still in his early teens. He grew up in Temuco in the backwoods of southern Chile. Neruda's literary development received assistance from unexpected sources. Among his teachers "was the poet Gabriela Mistral, who would be a Nobel laureate years before Neruda," reported Manuel Duran and Margery Safir in Earth Tones: The Poetry of Pablo Neruda. "It is almost inconceivable that two such gifted poets should find each other in such an unlikely spot. Mistral recognized the young Neftali's talent and encouraged it by giving the boy books and the support he lacked at home."
By the time he finished high school, Neruda had published in local papers and Santiago magazines, and had won several literary competitions. In 1921 he left southern Chile for Santiago to attend school, with the intention of becoming a French teacher but was an indifferent student. While in Santiago, Neruda completed one of his most critically acclaimed and original works, the cycle of love poems titled Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada—published in English translation as Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair. This work quickly marked Neruda as an important Chilean poet.
Veinte poemas also brought the author notoriety due to its explicit celebration of sexuality, and, as Robert Clemens remarked in the Saturday Review, "established him at the outset as a frank, sensuous spokesman for love." While other Latin American poets of the time used sexually explicit imagery, Neruda was the first to win popular acceptance for his presentation. Mixing memories of his love affairs with memories of the wilderness of southern Chile, he creates a poetic sequence that not only describes a physical liaison, but also evokes the sense of displacement that Neruda felt in leaving the wilderness for the city. "Traditionally," stated Rene de Costa in The Poetry of Pablo Neruda, "love poetry has equated woman with nature. Neruda took this established mode of comparison and raised it to a cosmic level, making woman into a veritable force of the universe."
"In Veinte poemas," reported David P. Gallagher in Modern Latin American Literature, "Neruda journeys across the sea symbolically in search of an ideal port. In 1927, he embarked on a real journey, when he sailed from Buenos Aires for Lisbon, ultimately bound for Rangoon where he had been appointed honorary Chilean consul." Duran and Safir explained that "Chile had a long tradition, like most Latin American countries, of sending her poets abroad as consuls or even, when they became famous, as ambassadors." The poet was not really qualified for such a post and was unprepared for the squalor, poverty, and loneliness to which the position would expose him. "Neruda travelled extensively in the Far East over the next few years," Gallagher continued, "and it was during this period that he wrote his first really splendid book of poems, Residencia en la tierra, a book ultimately published in two parts, in 1933 and 1935." Neruda added a third part, Tercera residencia, in 1947.
Residencia en la tierra, published in English as Residence on Earth, is widely celebrated as containing "some of Neruda's most extraordinary and powerful poetry," according to de Costa. Born of the poet's feelings of alienation, the work reflects a world which is largely chaotic and senseless, and which—in the first two volumes—offers no hope of understanding. De Costa quoted Spanish poet García Lorca as calling Neruda "a poet closer to death than to philosophy, closer to pain than to insight, closer to blood than to ink. A poet filled with mysterious voices that fortunately he himself does not know how to decipher." With its emphasis on despair and the lack of adequate answers to mankind's problems, Residencia en la tierra in some ways foreshadowed the post-World War II philosophy of existentialism. "Neruda himself came to regard it very harshly," wrote Michael Wood in the New York Review of Books. "It helped people to die rather than to live, he said, and if he had the proper authority to do so he would ban it, and make sure it was never reprinted."
Residencia en la tierra also marked Neruda's emergence as an important international poet. By the time the second volume of the collection was published in 1935 the poet was serving as consul in Spain, where "for the first time," reported Duran and Safir, "he tasted international recognition, at the heart of the Spanish language and tradition. At the same time . . . poets like Rafael Alberti and Miguel Hernandez, who had become closely involved in radical politics and the Communist movement, helped politicize Neruda." When the Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936, Neruda was among the first to espouse the Republican cause with the poem España en el corazon—a gesture that cost him his consular post. He later served in France and Mexico, where his politics caused less anxiety.
Communism rescued Neruda from the despair he expressed in the first parts of Residencia en la tierra, and led to a change in his approach to poetry. He came to believe "that the work of art and the statement of thought—when these are responsible human actions, rooted in human need—are inseparable from historical and political context," reported Salvatore Bizzarro in Pablo Neruda: All Poets the Poet. "He argued that there are books which are important at a certain moment in history, but once these books have resolved the problems they deal with they carry in them their own oblivion. Neruda felt that the belief that one could write solely for eternity was romantic posturing." This new attitude led the poet in new directions; for many years his work, both poetry and prose, advocated an active role in social change rather than simply describing his feelings, as his earlier oeuvre had done.
This significant shift in Neruda's poetry is recognizable in Tercera residencia, the third and final part of the "Residencia" series. Florence L. Yudin noted in Hispania that the poetry of this volume was overlooked when published and remains neglected due to its overt ideological content. "Viewed as a whole," Yudin wrote, "Tercera residencia illustrates a fluid coherence of innovation with retrospective, creativity with continuity, that would characterize Neruda's entire career." According to de Costa, as quoted by Yudin, "The new posture assumed is that of a radical nonconformist. Terra residencia must, therefore, be considered in this light, from the dual perspective of art and society, poetry and politics."
"Las Furias y las penas," the longest poem of Tercera residencia, embodies the influence of both the Spanish Civil War and the works of Spanish Baroque poet Francisco Gomez de Quevedo y Villegas on Neruda. The poem explores the psychic agony of lost love and its accompanying guilt and suffering, conjured in the imagery of savage eroticism, alienation, and loss of self-identity. Neruda's message, according to Yudin, is that "what makes up life's narrative ('cuento') are single, unconnected events, governed by chance, and meaningless ('suceden'). Man is out of control, like someone hallucinating one-night stands in sordid places." Yudin concluded that, "Despite its failed dialectic, 'Las Furias y las penas' sustains a haunting beauty in meaning and tone" and "bears the unmistakable signature of Neruda's originality and achievement."
While some critics have felt that Neruda's devotion to Communist dogma was at times extreme, others recognize the important impact his politics had on his poetry. Clayton Eshleman wrote in the introduction to Cesar Vallejo's Poemas humanos/ Human Poems that "Neruda found in the third book of Residencia the key to becoming the twentieth-century South American poet: the revolutionary stance which always changes with the tides of time." Gordon Brotherton, in Latin American Poetry: Origins and Presence, expanded on this idea by noting that "Neruda, so prolific, can be lax, a 'great bad poet' (to use the phrase Juan Ramon Jimenez used to revenge himself on Neruda). And his change of stance 'with the tides of time' may not always be perfectly effected. But . . . his dramatic and rhetorical skills, better his ability to speak out of his circumstances, . . . was consummate. In his best poetry (of which there is much) he speaks on a scale and with an agility unrivaled in Latin America."
Neruda expanded on his political views in the poem Canto general, which, according to de Costa, is a "lengthy epic on man's struggle for justice in the New World." Although Neruda had begun the poem as early as 1935—when he had intended it to be limited in scope only to Chile—he completed some of the work while serving in the Chilean senate as a representative of the Communist Party. However, party leaders recognized that the poet needed time to work on his opus, and granted him a leave of absence in 1947. Later that year, however, Neruda returned to political activism, writing letters in support of striking workers and criticizing Chilean President Videla. Early in 1948 the Chilean Supreme Court issued an order for his arrest, and Neruda finished the Canto general while hiding from Videla's forces.
"Canto general is the flowering of Neruda's new political stance," Don Bogen asserted in the Nation. "For Neruda food and other pleasures are our birthright—not as gifts from the earth or heaven but as the products of human labor." According to Bogen, Canto general draws its "strength from a commitment to nameless workers—the men of the salt mines, the builders of Macchu Picchu—and the fundamental value of their labor. This is all very Old Left, of course." Commenting on Canto general in Books Abroad, Jaime Alazraki remarked, "Neruda is not merely chronicling historical events. The poet is always present throughout the book not only because he describes those events, interpreting them according to a definite outlook on history, but also because the epic of the continent intertwines with his own epic."
Although, as Bizzarro noted, "In [the Canto general], Neruda was to reflect some of the [Communist] party's basic ideological tenets," the work itself transcends propaganda. Looking back into American prehistory, the poet examined the land's rich natural heritage and described the long defeat of the native Americans by the Europeans. Instead of rehashing Marxist dogma, however, he concentrated on elements of people's lives common to all people at all times. Nancy Willard wrote in Testimony of the Invisible Man, "Neruda makes it clear that our most intense experience of impermanence is not death but our own isolation among the living. . . . If Neruda is intolerant of despair, it is because he wants nothing to sully man's residence on earth."
"In the Canto," explained Duran and Safir, "Neruda reached his peak as a public poet. He produced an ideological work that largely transcended contemporary events and became an epic of an entire continent and its people." According to Alazraki, "By bringing together his own odyssey and the drama of the continent, Neruda has simultaneously given to Canto general the quality of a lyric and an epic poem. The lives of conquistadors, martyrs, heroes, and just plain people recover a refreshing actuality because they become part of the poet's fate, and conversely, the life of the poet gains new depth because in his search one recognizes the continent's struggles. Canto general is, thus, the song of a continent as much as it is Neruda's own song."
Neruda returned to Chile from exile in 1953, and, said Duran and Safir, spent the last twenty years of his life producing "some of the finest love poetry in One Hundred Love Sonnets and parts of Extravagaria and La Barcarola; he produced Nature poetry that continued the movement toward close examination, almost still shots of every aspect of the external world, in the odes of Navegaciones y regresos, in The Stones of Chile, in The Art of Birds, in Una Casa en la arena and in Stones of the Sky. He continued as well his role as public poet in Canción de geste, in parts of Cantos ceremoniales, in the mythical La Espada encendida, and the angry Incitement to Nixonicide and Praise for the Chilean Revolution."
At this time, Neruda's work began to move away from the highly political stance it had taken during the 1930s. Instead of concentrating on politicizing the common folk, Neruda began to try to speak to them simply and clearly, on a level that each could understand. He wrote poems on subjects ranging from rain to feet. By examining common, ordinary, everyday things very closely, according to Duran and Safir, Neruda gives us "time to examine a particular plant, a stone, a flower, a bird, an aspect of modern life, at leisure. We look at the object, handle it, turn it around, all the sides are examined with love, care, attention. This is, in many ways, Neruda . . . at his best."
In 1971 Neruda reached the peak of his political career when the Chilean Communist party nominated him for president. He withdrew his nomination, however, when he reached an accord with Socialist nominee Salvador Allende. After Allende won the election he reactivated Neruda's diplomatic credentials, appointing the poet ambassador to France. It was while Neruda was serving in Paris that he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature, in recognition of his oeuvre. Poor health soon forced the poet to resign his post, however, and he returned to Chile, where he died in 1973—only days after a right-wing military coup killed Allende and seized power. Many of his last poems, some published posthumously, indicate his awareness of his death's approach. As Fernando Alegria wrote in Modern Poetry Studies, "What I want to emphasize is something very simple: Neruda was, above all, a love poet and, more than anyone, an unwavering, powerful, joyous, conqueror of death."
Commenting on Passions and Impressions, a posthumous collection of Neruda's prose poems, political and literary essays, lectures, and newspaper articles, Mark Abley wrote in Maclean's, "No matter what occasion provoked these pieces, his rich, tireless voice echoes with inimitable force." As Neruda eschewed literary criticism, many critics found in him a lack of rationalism. According to Neruda, "It was through metaphor, not rational analysis and argument, that the mysteries of the world could be revealed," remarked Stephen Dobyns in the Washington Post. However, Dobyns noted that Passions and Impressions "shows Neruda both at his most metaphorical and his most rational. . . . What one comes to realize from these prose pieces is how conscious and astute were Neruda's esthetic choices. In retrospect at least his rejection of the path of the maestro, the critic, the rationalist was carefully calculated." In his speech upon receiving the Nobel Prize, Neruda noted that "there arises an insight which the poet must learn through other people. There is no insurmountable solitude. All paths lead to the same goal: to convey to others what we are."
In 2003, thirty years after Neruda's death, an anthology of 600 of Neruda's poems arranged chronologically was published as The Poetry of Pablo Neruda. The anthology draws from thirty-six different translators, and some of his major works are also presented in their original Spanish. Writing in the New Leader, Phoebe Pettingell pointed out that, although some works were left out because of the difficulty in presenting them properly in English, "an overwhelming body of Neruda's output is here . . . and the collection certainly presents a remarkable array of subjects and styles." Reflecting on the life and work of Neruda in the New Yorker, Mark Strand commented, "There is something about Neruda—about the way he glorifies experience, about the spontaneity and directness of his passion—that sets him apart from other poets. It is hard not to be swept away by the urgency of his language, and that's especially so when he seems swept away."

Record-a-Poem gives you new ways to say "I love you"

Poet Categorization
If you disagree with this poet's categorization, make a suggestion.
"No writer of world renown is perhaps so little known to North Americans as Chilean poet Pablo Neruda," observed New York Times Book Review critic Selden Rodman. Numerous critics have praised Neruda as the greatest poet writing in the Spanish language during his lifetime, although many readers in the United States have found it difficult to disassociate Neruda's poetry from his fervent commitment to communism. An added difficulty lies in the fact that Neruda's poetry is very hard to translate; his works available in English represent only a small portion of his total output. Nonetheless, declared John Leonard in the New York Times, Neruda "was, I think, one of the great ones, a Whitman of the South."
Born Ricardo Eliezer Neftali Reyes y Basoalto, Neruda adopted the pseudonym under which he would become famous while still in his early teens. He grew up in Temuco in the backwoods of southern Chile....

I've done just a few mods on a Darth Vader with moderate success and would love to have one of the Fett generations next to him in my dining room. I understand the feeling of appreciation for something built from scratch, but it's sometimes much more productive to leave the technical aspects to the pros and just burn up some finances instead. Any and all input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Rwanda Medical Missionary trip: Blog post No. 3
July 19, 2012
It finally struck me this past weekend…I am going to Africa! When I was invited in February to join the Summit team making its third mission trip to Rwanda it sounded like an amazing opportunity and a chance for me to contribute in some small way to our international mission work. Now, 5 months later, the reality finally hit me. I am honored, excited and humbled to be travelling with such a committed group of clinicians and community volunteers. I am looking forward to attending the second of two club foot treatment workshops taught by Dr. Janes at the Rilima Hospital. This educational opportunity for the healthcare providers in Rwanda is being supported through a grant written by the Summit Medical Center Health Foundation and funded by the Catholic Health Initiatives Foundation, our hospital sponsor's foundation.
My role at the Mugonero Hospital will be to work with Tony Harris on the construction of the open gazebo. We are so grateful to the 20 donors from Summit County and to the hospital foundation for funding this project. The construction costs are estimated at $12,500. Since the Mugonero Hospital does not have a waiting room, this building is much needed and will be a wonderful place for family members and patients to gather outside and be protected from the sun and rain.
Don't let the manicured nails and high heels fool you! I have more than 30 years of construction experience having worked for nearly a year to renovate and restore our first house in Breckenridge, an original log home in the historic district built in the late 1800's. Working full time for Colorado Mountain College, I spent another 6 or 7 hours every night helping with the restoration. Twenty-two years ago when we built a new home just down the street, my jobs included nailing down the pine 2×6 sub-flooring boards, putting in insulation, wiring outlets and switches (thanks to excellent training from Bill Tinker) and staining every piece of redwood siding before it was attached to the outside of our home. I even primed and painted all of the exterior and interior trim, helped wallpaper and most recently repainted all of the downstairs rooms in preparation of our daughter's wedding five years ago. Of course, I've never built a gazebo, but I'm a quick learner….high heels and all!! And of course, I am there to help wherever I am needed.
I love adventure and am looking forward to what I know will be an amazing, life changing experience for me. Stay tuned.
Deb Edwards
A Breckenridge resident for the past 34 years, Deb Edwards is the President and Chief Development Officer for the Summit Medical Center Health Foundation, a position she has held for the past five years. She is responsible for fundraising for 13 programs at the hospital, including the Rwanda mission trips. While in Rwanda, Deb will be assisting in the building of the gazebo at the Mugonero Hospital and for anything else is needed too.

|Good idea Wayne! Alternatively a nice Seacock installation capped off might provide an immensely simpler and less time consuming repair.
|I would use the hole rather than fill it. Find out if Garmin makes a speed through hull for your model unit. If not speed than water temp.

Also I'm not sure I would attempt to do all 3/8" in one big bloop. If you are working upside-down which I suspect you are it will want to droop out.
I would probably do a patch with maybe 5, 6 layers and apply it and let it kick, making sure it is stuck up there. Then do some more layers and stick them up. Keep going until it looks good. Then hold a piece of plastic and squeegee etc.
If epoxy gets too thick it will actually get hot and start to smoke if it kicks all at once.
If others have done 3/8" in one big patch with no problems either drooping out or getting too hot I'm sure you will get some first hand accounts.
If it is you first experience with epoxy as long as you put the second coat on while the first coat is still tacky you will still get the good chemical bond.
And it may be a little easier to see how it is coming along.
Another point is that you want the glass just whetted out. The goal is to use as little epoxy as possible without leaving any dry glass.
Also thickening the epoxy with colloidal silica may be necessary to make it sticky enough to hang upside down.

Since you are working from the outside and have a one inch hole on the inside flaring out to a 5" scoop it makes sense to start with a patch slightly larger than 1" and use slightly larger patches until you build out to the last patch being 5". The West video shows the opposite. Starting with a 5" patch that sort of bags in and each patch being smaller then ending up with the smallest on top. It looks back wards but the advantage is that more fiber is in contact with the patch.
I contacted Don about this and he said he ran tests and the West way (Scotty's way too) is stronger so he is changing his book.
So scotty is right even on this detail.

Drilled hole in Hull repair
OK, I got it. Fully understand and I will repair the hole this week. Thanks everyone again for your advice & help and thanks Scottyt for the videos. Somehow I missed them when I read the responses. Sorry. You're a great bunch of supporters and novices like me really depend on you. I'll post some pictures when completed.
watch the video
sorry you will get it if you watch the video
you do not need to make the hole bigger. the smaller the better
with a one inch hole you dont really need a backer. but if you want even a piece of duct tape on the inside would do.
if the glass is 3/8, grind out about 4 to 5 inches in taper so the inner edge where the hole is a knife edge. the taper will go from very thin to just taking off the gel coat. then you will need about 8 to 10 layers of glass ( 7 oz ) the fist layer is the full size of the taper ie about 10 inches. thats the one inch hole plus 4.5 inches each side. cut each smaller piece of glass about 1/2 inch smaller. so the first circle is 10 inches, the second 9.5, third 9 inches etc.
spread some plastic ( trash bags work ) out on a table, mix the epoxy. put the smallest piece of glass on the plastic, pour on a little epoxy and work it in with a squeegee, put the next bigger layer of glass centered on the first. add a little more epoxy and work it in. keep going until you put all layers of glass with epoxy all centered, smallest to largest. take a little epoxy and mix with collidal silica and brush that around on the hull where the taper is. this epoxy layer fills any grinding grooves so the glass will not have to. then pick up the plastic with the glass and resin on it. place it over the hole so the last and largest layer is against the hull, and make sure its centered. then use a squeegee to work the glass to the hull, do not remove the plastic bag yet. work out as much resin and air as you can, then let it cure over night.
the next day, pull the plastic and see how close you are to a level surface. if you need you can add some more glass to build it up. when its close ie around 1/8 inch to level let it all cure. then mix some epoxy and light weight filler to a thick paste and spread it out. then sand smooth when cured.
you can use gel coat to cover this to protect it from then the sun.
Drilled hole in Hull repair
Thanks guys for all the information. From what I understand, I need to make the hole larger, to about 4 1/2 inches diameter minimum. I need to taper the inside and outside of the hole. So just for clarification, I work from the outside first so I would tape something like wax paper to the inside so I'd have some initial barrier to work against. This is where I'm confused. What next???

text: I've loved these two since first watching them at the ARD Gala On Ice in 2003. They are the artists of Pairs skating. But since Tatiana & Maxim have teamed up they have lost more & more ground on the pair from Russia. Why ?. Are they putting too much into landing the throw triple axel ?. After COR it looks like they may have to stop trying that. I have to say the I enjoy watching both teams but love the Germans more. It would be heartbreaking for them to lose another Olypic Gold after 2010 when they lost form when the Chinese returned. And now they have to go up against the top pair from Russia at an Olympics in Russia. Do they really stand any chance ?, or will they battle the Chinese & Canadians for Silver ?. They could end up being the Kwan of Pairs skating. 4 European titles & 4 World titles but no Olympic Gold. What can they do to get their levels up & get the judges back on side ?.

About the ensemble:
Praised for their "well-thought-out articulation and phrasing" (Early Music Review) and "elegant string playing… immaculate in tuning and balance" (Early Music Today), the Sebastians specialize in music of the Baroque and Classical eras and newly commissioned works for period instruments. They recently won the Audience Prize at the 2012 Early Music America Baroque Performance Competition. They were also finalists in the 2011 York International Early Music Competition and the 2011 Early Music America/Naxos Recording Competition. For the tricentennial of the publication of Antonio Vivaldi's L'Estro Armonico, the Sebastians commissioned composer Robert Honstein to write a companion suite, which they premiered alongside Vivaldi's work in December 2011. The suite will receive its New York premiere on November 20, 2013 at Columbia University's Italian Academy. This past season they presented a series of thematic concerts as artists-in-residence at Emanuel Lutheran Church in Manchester, CT. They were recently named the residence ensemble at All Angels' Church in New York City. They have participated in the Carnegie Hall Professional Training Workshop with L'Arpeggiata and performed at Music Matters at LaGrua Center in Stonington, CT, Friends of Music at Pequot Library in Southport, CT, Juilliard in Aiken in Aiken, SC., and in the Twelfth Night Festival and Concerts@One at Trinity Wall Street in New York City.

I think like many I am very confused about what rout to take.
I am planning to move to Germany in August/September and am now making my decision on what step to take in order to gain my TEFL qualification.
I work full time at the moment and am saving as much as possible at the moment so doing a online option with one week in class with outside teacher assessment, seemed to be the best option for me (the INTESOL Worldwide course). The course is accredited by Ascentis and ODLQC but is not a CertTESOL course. It says it is equivalent to a CertTESOL (with the assessed teaching) but I'm worries this will not be good enough, especially for Germany.
Does anyone have any advice, I'm now looking at a 4 week course with CELTA or CertTESOL as I can't afforded to do a course that will not get me a job in Europe.
Also, does anyone have any advice on teaching in Germany for me?

Mine eyes have never seen such a beautiful sight........it was awesome and when two passed other cars to catch up, the acceleration was mindblowing...........what great luck.

Obama Can Still Say No to Keystone XL Pipeline
Senate leaders reached an agreement on December 16, 2011 to extend the payroll tax rate and unemployment benefits for a mere two months, attaching to this legislation a provision to require the President to quickly decide yea or nay on constructing the Keystone XL pipeline. A December 17th Senate vote is expected, with the House to follow next week.
On November 10, the Administration determined that the dangerous impacts of the pipeline warranted additional study. This additional study would make a final decision on whether or not to approve the pipeline possible in early 2013. Republicans in the House and Senate then led efforts to rapidly force the issue. The Senate provision requires the President to determine whether the KXL is in the national interest or not, within 60 days of the bill's passage. President Obama has ample grounds for concluding the pipeline violates our national interest.
Currently, there is no approved route for the pipeline – so who knows what the Administration would be agreeing to if it agreed to pursue the pipeline? It's clear that the previously proposed route through Nebraska Sand Hills poses tremendous risk to the environment and to drinking water. At present, there is simply no pipeline route to approve.
But more importantly to understand – there is no such thing as a safe route for the KXL at all. The pipeline poses great danger to human health, the environment, jobs, and our energy security. Much has been written about the health and environmental consequences of the pipeline. But, to our detriment, less attention is being paid to the economic and security implications of the pipeline.
Jobs estimates for the pipeline have been wildly exaggerated and bring false hope to people. More jobs – and enduring ones at that – could be created by building our domestic energy sector. And very few people are picking up on the data that shows how the KXL can be a jobs killer in the US, through pipeline spills and increased fuel costs in the Midwest.
Another false hope being perpetuated is that the KXL will enable us to use more "friendly Canadian" oil than Middle Eastoil. Rep. Connolly (D-VA) expressed concern about Congress' refusal to require that KXL oil be used for US consumption rather than for export. So the American people are being asked to risk all the dangers of running the pipeline through our country…..so it can be sold abroad?
President Obama, the power is still yours to stop the pipeline and safeguard our national interests.

How Top Recruiters Survive The Future Of Headhunting
Reach and

April 16, 2014
The mindful recruiter
By Peter Weddle for
Healthcare recruiters fill one of the most stressful and least appreciated jobs in the workplace. They are bombarded with requirements, complaints, constraints, and tiresome, but essential tasks, and they get little support, recognition, or gratitude in return. How can recruiters do their best work in such a hostile environment? With mindfulness.
Mindfulness has suddenly caught the attention of working Americans. It's as if we've reached a tipping point in our hyper-paced and ultra-demanding careers and have collectively begun to search for ways to find some calm and quiet in our work. We know we can't turn off the spigot of day-to-day requisitions,
job postings
, social media connections, interviews, hiring manager conferences, and offer letters, but we also know we have to find a balance to it all or we're likely to burn out.
Wikipedia defines mindfulness as "the focusing of attention and awareness, based on the concept of mindfulness in Buddhist meditation." It's now practiced in many places, however, without a religious context. It can sound a little "new age" at first but its principles are both physiologically and psychologically sound.
I call mindfulness in recruiting a way to "pay attention to ourselves." It is an alternative approach to working in the pressure-packed, adrenalin soaked culture of today's "doing more with less" workplace. Mindfulness is not a prescription for ignoring our job, but instead, a permission slip to care for ourselves—so we can do a better job.
Mindfulness provides a set of practices for reducing job-induced pressure and stress. It is a schedule of breaks built, not around the water cooler or social media websites, but around the soothing effects of body rhythms and peacefulness. Yes, it's meditation, but it's meditation with an occupational purpose—to counter the injurious effects of roadblocks we face in the present and to fend off the effects of other roadblocks we are likely to confront in the future.
Paying attention to yourself
Healthcare recruiters face a daily obstacle course of insensitive or inept hiring managers, unrealistic or back-breaking requisitions, and mind-numbing or convoluted administrative requirements. It can sap our self-confidence, commitment to excellence, and even our ability to care about our job.
Working harder doesn't redress those symptoms. Only paying attention to ourselves can do that. How? By interspersing our work with periods of self-rejuvenation. Research has shown that adults need a break every ninety minutes or so, if they are to keep themselves stimulated and performing at their peak. And, they also need such breaks to repair themselves after the particularly stressful events that can occur from time-to-time in any career.
The mindful recruiter uses these breaks for meditation. They focus on their breathing—on listening to the rhythm of their body. If their respiration is at its natural pace, they concentrate on simply experiencing that gift of life. And, if it's ragged or rapid from the stress of the day, they slowly and steadily move it back to its natural state.
In both cases, they inhale to reinforce their spirit and sense of purpose in their work and exhale to eradicate the toxins of stress and anxiety that the workplace has produced. With each breath in, they say quietly to themselves,
I remember who I am
, and with each breath out, they say,
I rejoice in who I am
So, if you're stressed from the workload of a seemingly interminable list of requisitions, take a periodic break to pay attention to yourself. And, if you feel like you've been tossed in a pressure cooker after a meeting with a hiring manager, take a break then, as well, and take care of yourself.
Stress, anxiety, pressure—these all cloud our ability to recognize or remember our inherent value as a person and our contribution at work. Mindfulness is a way for recruiters to recapture both in the daily rhythms of their life.

Oregon Focus: People to Know: Sacagawea
About Sacagawea
Sacagawea was a Shoshone Indian woman who became famous for the help and guidance she rendered to the Lewis and Clark Expedition to the Northwest in 1804-1806.
Sacagawea was born near present-day Lemhi, Idaho in about 1786. Her name translated means Bird Woman or White Bird Woman. As a young girl (12 to 14 years old), she was taken captive by the Hidatsa Indians, part of the Mandan tribes in the upper Missouri River region. In her teens she married the French-Canadian guide and interpreter Toussaint Charbonneau (she was either bought as a slave or won in a gambling game). When Charbonneau was hired by the Lewis and Clark Expedition, she came along with her newly born son, Jean Baptiste (nicknamed Pomp).
Having a woman with the expedition meant to the Native Americans that this was not a war party. Clark wrote, "A woman with a party of men is a token of peace." Thus, her presence no doubt helped their passage through hostile country.
Sacagawea was strong traveler. Brave, competent, and industrious, she greatly aided the expedition by her quick reactions and sensitive dealing with the Native Americans they met. At one time when the waves of the river threatened to swamp their boat and wash valuable supplies away, Sacagawea grabbed her infant with one hand and the precious medicines, instruments, and papers with the other.
Through her, the group obtained horses from the Shoshone people for transportation across the Rocky Mountains. Later on they had to eat the horses to avoid starvation. Many times she pointed out the shortest or the easiest way to follow through the mountains.
The fate of Sacagawea after parting with the expedition is less clear. There is evidence that Sacagawea and Charbonneau traveled to St. Louis in 1809 to leave their son to be educated by William Clark of the expedition. According to contemporary sources, a woman identified as Charbonneau's wife and believed to be Sacagawea died in 1812 at Fort Manuel, in present-day South Dakota. Some biographers speculate, however, that the woman who died at Fort Manuel was Charbonneau's other wife and that Sacagawea eventually rejoined the Shoshone people at the Wind River reservation in Wyoming and died there in 1884.
Numerous statues, plaques, and monuments honor Sacagawea. One of the statues is in Portland's Washington Park.
Also see a notable Oregonian descriptions for Sacagawea | Meriwether Lewis | William Clark.
Suggestions for teachers
Ask students to:
Discuss how Sacagawea learned about the wilderness. Why did she learn these things? From whom did she learn them?
Invite an expert to talk about wilderness survival techniques.
Draw scenes from the Lewis and Clark Expedition. (write situations on cards for children to draw that relate challenges and dramatize solutions. Examples: need to cook a deer; came upon a waterfall in their boats; came upon an angry bear; a man breaks an arm; ran out of meat; etc. How might Sacagawea be better at solving these than the white man?
Visit a local historical museum to learn about explorers.
Write stories about Sacagawea using Native American picture writing.
Give oral reports on books about Sacagawea.
Form small groups to dramatize events on the expedition that included Sacagawea.

Green Bay's Effort Falls Short Against UIC
By: Jill Wunrow
GREEN BAY Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay (2-10-3, 0-4-2 HL) men's soccer team put up a tough-fought battle before UIC's (7-5-2, 3-1-1 HL) defense shut out the Phoenix 2-0 Saturday, Oct. 20 at Aldo Santaga Stadium. The loss all but eliminates Green Bay from the Horizon League Championship which kicks off Nov. 6.
Green Bay's Jordan Dover (Ontario, Canada) had the team's first good look at the goal with 18:14 to play in the first half when he fired a shot from the top of the box but UIC goalie Piotr Kikolski was there for the save.
With 10:33 to play in the first half, Ivan Stanisavljevic took the corner kick for the Flames and found Ned Pavlovic who passed to Jorge Alvarez on the doorstep on the right side of the box for the header goal and the 1-0 advantage.
Dover again had a good look at the goal from the top of the box with 1:47 remaining in the half but was a bit high over the bar. Dover finished the game leading the Phoenix with three shots on the night.
"It was getting frustrating how close I was coming with my shots, especially because I felt we had momentum and a goal coming but things just didn't go our way," Dover said.
With momentum on its side in the final minutes of the first half, Green Bay's Alonso Flores (Chicago, Ill.) took a shot from the left side of the box with 35 seconds on the clock. Sebastian Xiong (Cottage Grove, Wis.) rebounded the ball and scored what appeared to be a goal but was called for a hand ball foul instead.
"I hit the ball with my head," Xiong said. "We could've had a break at that point and it would have been nice going into the half tied 1-1 but that's how the game goes sometimes."
UIC edged the Phoenix 6-5 on shots and 4-0 on corner kicks in the first period of play.
Green Bay continued to battle in the second half but Stanisavljevic's goal from 45 yards out in the 70th minute was too much for the Phoenix to overcome in front of the 177 fans in attendance.
"It's just frustrating knowing the effort we're giving and things just aren't going our way this year," said Xiong.
The Phoenix finished the game with 10 shots on the night while UIC had 13. All four of Green Bay's corner kicks in the game came in the second half of play. In addition to Dover's team-high three shots in the game, Flores and Trent Allison (Green Bay, Wis.) added two shots each.
Green Bay will play its final game of the 2012 season hosting Cleveland State Saturday, Nov. 3 at 1 p.m. at Aldo Santaga Stadium. Before the contest, the team will honor senior goalkeeper Ryan Wehking (St. Louis, Mo.) and forward Alonso Flores.

|If your looking for cheap and decent stuff the company 5150 does alot of cheap stuff. They have some reverse camber boards on the market this year also. I know there are several companies that make boards and stuff for a fairly low price tag. Also. If your looking to spend a good amount id go for either a ride or burton board with burton lexa bindings. One of my friends has lexas and loves them. The burton scribe binding is really nice as well.
Yes, have her rent a few times. Then if she decides to stick with it, she can purchase gear. BUT if she is going to buy, March is the best month to do so. Most gear will be on sale and you'll still have a lot of options.
For bindings, I really like the Ride VXn for it's price range. Also check out the Union Trilogy or Milan, Rome Madison, Burton Lexa or Escapade. Bindings seem to last a long time after the sales, so you should be able to get some top shelf bindings for $150 or less.
Tell us a little more about her and we can provide suggestions: height, weight, shoe size, athleticism....
|I agree with renting, a lot of people I've talked to have only "tried" snowboarding once or twice and they give up because it's too hard. Even a cheap setup, couple hundred bucks, could be a complete waste if she hates it or doesn't want to continue. I'd suggest that if she does rent, have her rent a demo board, not the super heavy, no-control plank boards they give to rank beginners. It usually costs more to rent a demo board, and you have to lie about your ability, but at least then she'll be riding a board that's a step up from the basic rental (think rental ice skates, a rental snowboard is about the same).
|thanks for the info bro

It's a pretty steep investment to 'try'. Most people, I mean MOST people don't keep at snowboarding from what I've seen. The guy that dragged my out last year, raved about snowboarding and was pumped to go ALOT late last year. We didn't get many days in because it was the end of the season but I was seriously hooked at that point. This year, I go as much as I possibly can, usually ALONE. This year, he hasn't gone ONCE. I'm pretty sure he will just let the board rot in his basement. All that money wasted! For the amount he has gone for the price of the equipment, he would have saved a TON of money just renting the first year.
Best to have her rent during the peak season, see if she likes it, make sure she gets a proper length board and proper stance setup for newbs, and then in the off season pickup a previous year clearance board, some cheap bindings and some good quality, good fitting boots (she may have to try on many pairs until she is sure).
Or, if she has the cash and HATES waiting for rentals, then at least have her go a few times on rentals and in the meantime, start the shopping research.
I picked up my rossi board for 140 shipped, including bindings for $40. 2009's, free shipping , new, and purchased in July online from Evo. The bindings were Morrow, cheap but got better ratings than 150-200 bindings, so I went for it.
Not sure how deals will pan out in the future. Seems like the minimal board prices are up another 100 suddenly, while better boards are even more money!
Evo has a rossi on sale there now, not sure what size she would need. IMO dont worry about getting a board that says 'beginner' read the specs on it and decide if it is right for her too Rossignol Justice Rocker Snowboard - Women's 2010 | evo outlet

Posted by Duncan Jones on the Sourcing & Vendor Management Professionals Blog on August 7, 2013
I'm part of a team called "sourcing and vendor management" (SVM). Forrester organizes its research teams by individual client roles, so my teammates and I all focus on helping clients who are sourcing and vendor management professionals. Wait a moment. Should that read "helping clients who are sourcing or vendor management professionals"? Aren't they separate functions within a client's organization? This is a frequent question from our clients, and one that causes a lot of internal debate within our team.
My view, formed from witnessing the experience of hundreds of enterprises, is that, at least in the software category, sourcing and supplier management should be very closely linked, but not via org structure and reporting lines. This is because:
· It is impossible to manage software suppliers effectively unless you can influence sourcing. The major players are so big and powerful that they usually have the upper hand in discussions about maintenance renewals and service levels. Even small software providers can build immovable, entrenched positions in their chosen niches. To have sufficient negotiation leverage to do a good job, the supplier manager must be able to credibly threaten to negatively impact the supplier's ability to win future business.
· Sourcing is infrequent but intensive, whereas supplier management is continual. The former consumes huge amounts of time and effort for a relatively small period, which risks dropping the ball on monitoring while you're immersed in a big negotiation, or missing opportunities on the sourcing side due to distractions from the 'day job'. You therefore need different people handling each side, but collaborating closely with each other.

Monsignor Charles Scicluna, who has been dealing with cases of sexual abuse on the part of priests, lashed out at those who abuse their religious trust by engaging in actions that damage the lives of children. He warned such priests they face a horrible time in Hell and they will wish they had been killed on Earth rather than face the fires of eternity. He made clear a pedophile priest who exploited his office would receive tougher treatment in hell than any ordinary layman. "It would be really better fro him that his evil deeds cause him death" here on planet Earth. Those who assist such priests were also warned they will wind up in Hell and have a hot time dealing with its fires.
It is all well and good to warn about Hell, but the issue is that men who engage in sexual abuse of children are dealing with mental issues that require psychological assistance –here on Earth. Rather than warning about Hell, it would be helpful if the Catholic Church re-examined its celibacy policy and allowed its priests to enjoy a normal love relationship with a woman–or man. The solution lies not in Hell, but here on Earth.

I just purchased an Allied Princess 36', so far I love everything about it. The reverse steering wheel with worm gear steering system is great and it really opens up the cockpit. 4'6" draft with 5000lbs of lead at the bottom makes her extremely stable at sea. plenty of storage, and she looks damn good. The price you can get this boat at is also unbeatable. Its a buyers market, make them an offer and they will accept.
The Cascade36 is interesting. ( I looked at a listing a few months ago) IIRC it has a rather large bowsprit.
The CapeDory36 (now the Robinhood36 I believe) is another I like the lines of and it sure seems like it would be a comfortable boat and still have some decent speed.
Hinckley 38 made my list also although it's not as pretty as the Pilot 35 or B40. Faster though!
Tartan37 of course.
And I'm surprised JEFFH hasn't chimed in here.
As far as the non-skeg rudders are concerned, wander around a boatyard and look at boats that are hauled out. In many cases the rudder and its post are holding the skeg on. If you shake a few you'll see where the strength comes from. If I was having a boat designed today it would be a spade rudder without a skeg. Built with suitable strength of course.
As far as the older Spencers, yes they are older but if well kept and upgraded that isn't always a problem.
I agree with the bowsprit comments as there are also anchoring issues to deal with and it's a lousy place to be when it's rough.
|All makes sense, Mitiempo. Only probs with Spencers is there seem to be few around, they can be very old -- even by standards of those of us hunting for old boats! -- and the cockpits look massive. But of course none of that need outweigh the many good points. Sabres seem to have a terrific build and reputation, though the old-fashioned salt in me has trouble getting used to that non-skeg-hung rudder. Is it a deal breaker or do I need to 'get with it'? The Southern Cross has good specs and seems right for the job. However, they have bowsprits, possibly not a deal breaker, but a bank balance breaker in marinas. Anyone else want to rank boats according to which will look after you best in a bad blow? What I can make out of Bristol 40s is that they certainly can cross oceans, but are not designed explicitly with that in mind. The enormous cockpits and absence of a bridge deck obviously come to mind. Of course that too can be rectified and would be worth rectifying if the hull/construction/stability etc amounted to a true blue ocean boat. The Valiant 40 has one major problem, at least for me, and that's cost. Valiant 37s.... maybe ideal?
The Spencer 42 is essentially an enlarged Spencer 35. If you compare their numbers on Sail Calculator Pro v3.53 - 2000+ boats you'll find they are very close. These both predate the Valiant designs. The reason I put the Southern Cross and the Sabre farther down is that they can't all be first. The only boat on the list I am not exited about is the Bayfield, a design I have never liked the looks of, both above the water (bowsprit with trailboards) and below the water (keel a bit long).
Mitiempo, thank you for that decisive looking reordering of my shortlist. can you shed a bit of light on your thoughts? The Valiants, given everything I've learned, seem to deserve the top spot. The V40 at least has successfully ventured into Southern Ocean passages. Everything seems to suggest the 37 is just a smaller version of the same fine boat. The Spencer 35 -- I know that has an amazing record of passagemaking, including the famous Hal Roth expeditions. But I have found little feedback on the 42. Is the 42 truly an equal but bigger version of 35 in this respect? How do you put Southern Cross and Sabre midway? They seem to have a lot of good points. Not the name recognition of PSC and Shannon to be sure. Any more feedback much appreciated.
Thanks all.

Ranking by seaworthiness
Hi, thanks Sailordave for seizing this thread by the horns. I started a new one doing the same thing. To avoid further confusion, would be great if everyone stuck to this one, since it's already kicked off.
But PLEASE can everyone stick to the idea of my original question:
NOT enter a general discussion about bluewater cruisers, but rank the shortlist of ocean boats I drew up and rank them ONLY for seaworthiness. NOT for beauty/livability/ etc. Just performance in the rough stuff, resistance to capsize, happiness in gale conditions, construction of hulls, rudders, etc.
Discussing beauty and comfort is so subjective. I'd really like if for once we focused on the single most important attribute of a true 'go anywhere' boat: ability to sail in all conditions.
The Spencer 35/42 are both long keel designs similar to the Alberg 37 and many others. Very solid boats many of which have crossed oceans and circumnavigated. The late Hal Roth's Whisper is a Spencer 35 and a neighbor is currently near the Horn in his 35. The Spencer 1330 is a more modern design with a long fin keel and a rudder on a substantial skeg. All were very well built. Here's the link to the owners group SYOG-index
Here are the profiles of the 35, 42, and 1330 There is a later version of the 35 with a shorter boom and a slightly taller mast and a squared off rudder.

Was playing Aura Kingdom for a while then they went P2W like every other Aeria game.
Looking for an MMORPG that has:
- Average-Highly populated game
- Mesmerizing graphics (Graphics keep me entertained)
- Hardcore pvping
- I don't really mind grinding so long as there's a point to it
To give some examples, I've played Tera, Cabal, Guild Wars 2, WoW, and private servers of Ragnarok Online (Hardcore pvping)
Thanks in advance.
Oh and no P2W games please!

I'm heading to MN and am bringing my fly rod (I do every year
without success). I was looking for some help on what I need
and some technique.
I have a 7' 5/6 weight rod, 2X tapered leader, a variety of
poppers and mouse patterns. I know a longer rod might help
but I didn't like the 9' rod I had. I don't fly fish a lot but I have
much better luck casting trout fly's than I do these bass patterns.
A lot of times everything just ends up in a big ball about 12' in
front of me.
Thanks for looking, I can get some input
