The title of this article by Paula Stephens "What I Wish More People Understood About Losing a Child" quickly caught my attention on my friend, Lisa Payne's Facebook page the other day. With the article, Lisa posted "I haven't lost a child. I know people who have…While I felt the article was well-written and insightful, I do not know if it accurately depicts the feelings of those who have suffered this type of loss…" in preparation for her Pastoral Care final.
Unfortunately, I know this type of loss…from a different angle. The perspective I am about to share with you is from a unique position – the step-parent.
My tendency is to begin with "My husband, Besh, lost his son in 2012 due to a motorbike accident" but what I'd really like to say, for the purpose of this article, is "I lost my 30-year-old step-son, Carl Beshara, in 2012."
Since that awful day in September I have been on the wildest roller coaster ride of my life. I know I will never be able to completely get over the shock and Besh will never be the same again. The "new normal" as they call it…and that's the closest description there is.
I wasn't fond of the term "step-parent" from the minute I married into my two "kids", Carl (21) and Tiffany (17) – flashbacks to Disney movies with evil step-mothers or something. I had always said I wanted kids who were already born, could take care of themselves and we could hang around, have a drink and a laugh. And that's exactly what I got. These kids were already cool independent people who didn't need a step-mother and I wasn't looking to be a mother either so it was a perfect match!
So for almost 10 years, these 2 kids became a big part of my life equation without me even realizing what had developed along the way.
Then when we got the call late one Saturday night on Labour Day weekend, I automatically and instinctively went into support mode for Besh and Tiffany. I just needed to make sure they were okay. That was all I could concentrate on and that was my sole purpose through all this. It helped me survive the shock, I realize now.
As I said to Lisa on Facebook "The hardest part is to just be with someone while they're falling apart without trying to make them better."
I hadn't noticed that in this process I had put my own feelings of loss on the back burner. This was the 'for better or for worse' situation at its finest. I needed to be strong. How could I be a wreck on a day where Besh was feeling good? I just couldn't do it to him…or me. Those happy moments are so precious after a life shock that we have to let them happen as long as they can…before reality and sadness hits again.
That being said, I still had/have my moments of tears and Besh has said many times, "It's okay for you to be sad too." And I know it's true but it's still difficult sometimes. I have cried and do cry, but it would usually be while I was talking about Besh and Tiffany's loss. Their loss makes me the saddest – even more than my own.
The awareness of my unique position came to me awhile after Carl passed away when my longtime friend, Carolyn, asked me one day how Besh was doing and out of my mouth fired "What about how I'm doing?" I shocked myself! Her eyes filled up with tears because she realized she hadn't even asked about me all this time. We both cried and I talked about how hard it is to juggle all these things at once – being strong, holding the space, hoping with all my heart that Besh is going to survive this and practically praying for Tiffany to find her happiness and live a good life…and experiencing my personal loss.
Sometimes I felt guilty talking about my grief even when the time was right. I thought 'How can you talk about your pain when it wasn't even your son?' It was a self-imposed comparative dialogue in my head that I just couldn't shake.
2 ½ years later, having done a lot of inner work and accepting that Besh and Tiffany are okay and they will survive, I'm finding I can feel and talk about my own pain a little more, with less guilt and hesitation. I believe that if they can survive this then I certainly can too.
What I have also learned through this process is that the grief of a step-parent is under-acknowledged and has to wait its turn sometimes. It's just the way it is and it makes sense.
So my advice for those of you who know a step-parent who has lost one of their kids – from time to time, ask them how they are doing and just let them cry and spill when they break down in front of you. Stay with them knowing there is nothing you can do to make them feel better but just asking them how they are doing acknowledges their loss too. And that helps to mend the wound.

Wow…thank you for writing this. It really is a new perspective and made me emotional to read. So many times we don't know how or what to say to our friends and family in these terrible times of loss. I truly appreciate having this new way of seeing it. So honest and real. Thank you.
Love you, sister in law.
This is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing. Sending love to you all xoxo
What a wonderful article about a perspective that is more common than ever but never discussed. I too have stepkids who came to live with us when they were teenagers. I was as worried and afraid when one of my stepkids went through a health crisis, as I was when my daughter did, which was compounded by my concern for my partner. The relationship of step-parent can be complex and fraught with missteps on others' toes and figuring out where you 'fit'. It would be much easier if we all just understood that these are merely loving relationships, without need for labels or hierarchy. I am sorry for the loss you ALL underwent, and am inspired by how you all came through it together. Thanks for this.
Beautifully, wholeheartedly and lovingly written, darling.
So? Very sincerely, how are you doing, KA? Can't wait to hug you again in two weeks. <3
This is beautiful, Pye. Thank you for sharing your journey and insight.
Light and love beautiful step-mother….
Pi –
This is beautifully written and a really important story to share. Thank you so much for articulating your journey and your healing. You have well described the challenge and blessing of being a step-parent in any circumstance, let alone in such an emotional time. You, once again, inspire me. xo
This article had me in tears. I "lost" m step-daughters when my ex-boyfriend and I broke up. I know it doesn't compare to what you and Besh have gone through, but I feel your pain. My cousin who lives in California quoted Marianne Williamson to help me through: "Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional." My heart goes out to you and Besh, and I hope we'll get a chance to chat a little on May 21 in Ottawa. XOXO
P.S. I love my card prints of your art! You are an amazing artist!
While I have not experienced personally, the loss that you address in this article. It does take me back to a time when I was living in Nova Scotia. At my job, I had a regular customer who became pregnant. Every week we's have a little discussion about her pregnancy, how excited she and her significant other were at the prospect of becoming parents. Her delivery date arrived and I hadn't seen her in a couple of weeks. When she arrived in front of me again, I asked how she was. She told me her baby had died during delivery. It took my breath away. I took a pause and asked her, what she had. She smiled and said it was a little girl. She told me how much she weighed and how long she'd been in labour, and how beautiful she was. Then she told me that they had to choose a name right away, because the minister had stopped by to christen her before they took her away. She showed me a picture and that little girl looked gorgeous~a little angel. I commented on how pretty she was, I helped my customer and then…she looked me in the eye and told me "thank you, for asking about my baby, no one else has". These are the tender issues that surround life and death! Do you ask or not? Compassion, can be expressed in many different ways. I am emotionally moved by the picture that accompanies this article. You my darling have represented yourself in the background, when actually~ I believe you may have been the grounding post, front and centre. I love you!
I told my son about your article, then I read him my comment. He said "the grounding post, is usually mom". So there you are "mom"!
Thank you for sharing that KA. I can now see where you are coming from. I too was a step mother and never really felt sure about where I fit in the whole picture. That can be difficult in joyous times such as birthdays and Christmas and I can't begin to imagine how much more complicated it can be at a time of tragedy. I feel for you and I Love You! xo
Keli-Ann life can be so hard. I can never compare anything I have gone through in my life with that of losing a child. Losing a child has to be the hardest thing to endure for the parent or step-parent! Thank you for sharing such a personal and emotionally raw event. Yours and Beshes story will surely be of benefit to others. I wish you both peace and contentment as you continue to walk the journey of life. God bless!
The funny thing about grief is that it has the patience of Job. It will wait until one is ready to deal with it. I am glad to see this article – not the reason for the article, but the fact you are writing about your pain. It is good, it is healing. The more you can talk about it, the better. Unfortunately, those left behind usually have to be the one to let others know it's okay to talk about how you are feeling and it's okay to say the person's name who has passed. Your grief is not less because you are a step parent, it is different. And for every individual, grief is different. Please know that I am here for you to talk to anytime and that I have always carried you and Besh in the same place – my heart. Much healing Love to you both.
Brave and beautiful, like you. This was so tough. I remember when dad died and thinking about Krista and Robin. Having been in our family for more than a decade, the loss was tough for them too, but similar to this, they took a back burner to caring for their spouses and children who lost their dad and pop. We all still miss him and I hope they were able to find peace as you did with Carl. Miss you!! xx
Hi Keli-Ann,
I can't even begin to imagine the emotions and changes that come about when you suffer the loss of a stepson, but your beautifully written article gives me a sweet and loving insite into how you were affected by this devastating loss. With all your own feelings of loss and confusion you were still able to handle it with grace, compassion and thoughtfulness. You are a strong person and that is an asset that many do not have. Brent and his family are blessed to have you.
Such an amazing and insightful article! I hope it helped your healing as I'm sure it will help many others.
So heartfelt and beautifully written. Everyone should read the article with or without loss. Thank you.
Thank you for writing this, KA. I have experienced the loss of my only child, my daughter Niki. I raised her as a single parent and after tumultuous teenage years we were finally coming to an understanding of expectations. She was in her first year of university – happy, dating, having all the dreams like every young person when diagnosed with terminal untreatable cancer. 18 months later, in August 2002 just shy of her 21st birthday, she left this world for the next. I "died" with her. Dispite days of laying in bed and willing myself not to breathe, my body breathed anyway…fighting my mind's desire to end my heartache. It is the single most profound loss a human can endure…losing Niki shattered by spirit and changed my very soul. In time, I have been able to live my changed life. Changed because we are not meant to outlive our offspring. Time will heal the wound somewhat, but the huge scar that is left behind is a daily reminder of her loss of her future. Time has allowed me to again be happy – to live for her because she cannot. I stick my tongue out to try tasting snowflakes for her; I let the rain fall on my upturned face because she can no longer feel the wetness; I laugh because she loved to laugh and when the wind blows in my face (everyday almost here in Newfoundland!) I love it – reminds me that I am alive and, once upon a time, I had this little baby girl, she was so cute and happy…and I smile, for Niki.
It's 3 am and this is something I really needed to see… Just under 2 months ago We lost my step-son and I have been dealing with how I feel alone for all the reasons you stated here. It is so hard to be the strong one and surpress your feeling when all you want to do is break down and just have someone reassure you that you too will be fine. Faking a smile when you want to cry just so his dad doesn't breakdown on his good days… And hiding in the bathroom at 3am to cry!!! Thank you for this article to let us know we are not alone!
I have been searching for several weeks for some information on this hoping I would find the answers to help me. I amy not have found any answers, but at least I am not alone. I lost my stepson tragically in October. He was my husband's only child. His son was part of our family's life for just over 15 years (since he was 3 years old). My daughter's thought of him as nothing less than their little brother. He actually lived with us for the last 13 months of his life. Since losing him, I have had to deal with most people casting me aside because I was only a "stepmother". His mom, who used to be very friendly, now makes me feel like I am an intruder. She wants everything of his that is in our home and has chosen to leave me out of all communication. Everyone I run into asks me how his Dad is. It's as though I cannot possibly feel or struggle as badly. I have kept all of my feelings bottled inside for a couple of months now in fear of what I am feeling is considered selfish. I have focused on making sure my husband and daughters are fine and now they seem to be doing a bit better, I have crumbled. I am trying desperately to find some kind of happiness but for now, it seems to be forced smiles and a hollow heart.
I lost my stepson three months ago, he was only 28. He had been my stepson since he was 8. I've since split up with his father but he still used to stay with me and his brothers, not his Dad. I always saw him as one of my own. The hurt and pain I am going through of losing him is not the same as what his poor mum is going through losing her only child. My pain consists of feeling so hopeless and unable to help his pain and suffering towards the end of his fight. Having to explain to my sons that they were going to lose their older brother. Watching my (young) adult sons carry their brother into his funeral. Then trying to help them with their loss both physical and mental needs whilst trying to stay strong. I also have feelings of guilt that I have three sons when my stepsons mum now has none and I worry a lot if something will happen to them. Thankfully I have a good relationship with his Mum and will always stay close to her, I made a promise to my stepson to ensure me and his brothers stay in touch and look out for her which I intend to fulfil. My Mum tells me I need to try and park my grief and start to try move on. To be quite honest I feel as though any moment now I may crack but I just can't.
Thank you for writing this, we as step-parents do sometimes get forgotten but also feel guilty to grief because we are not their biological parents.
OMG…I so relate! It's been 7 years since my 16 yr old step-son passed. You were writing my story! Is there anyway i can email you? I have felt so alone. NO ONE gets how this has affected me…or asks. If we could connect that would be amazing. Thank you 😊
Thank you so very much for sharing your story. My husband lost his 42 year old daughter who he adored/I lost my lovely step-daughter. She was in the hospital for 17 days before her passing which gave us some precious time with her. As step-moms we can sometimes struggle to find a comfortable way to fit in during difficult times. Like you, I've tried to be a loving, caring support for my husband. Your story and the comments from others is encouraging to me. It is a loss that we don't expect to have to bear. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful. Grief is grief. We hold our space everyday in this world, while hopefully moving forward as we fill our own "joy jugs". The pain of loss leaves scars on our hearts, but our jugs are able to hold the precious memories of joy.
Thanks for writing your article. I lost my stepson 4 years ago, he was 36. I'm always there for my husband, supporting him at moments he needs it the most. The article made me realize that no one ever really asked how I was doing. His son did not live with us, but he was close to our family. To complicate things he committed suicide after years of suffering from mental illness. I found most folks don't engage in any type of discussion with me because of the stigma mental illness carries (to them). I tend to bury my feelings and the article has helped me to realize, they are still fresh and I need to stop burying them, and work them out.
hi there, this did help, I am struggling feeling guilty for my pain, for my spouse lost his 21 yr old daughter a month from today in a boating accident. Her dad and I have been together going on 5 1/2 yrs and I feel guilty for my sadness since she was not in my life as long. I have to realize that yes I am sad but I need to be patient and set my feelings aside and be there for him and his ex and two other children. I am still in denial that she is really gone and try to be there to listen , help and give comfort when he or her family needs it. I know it will be an never ending pain he will have and that loss will always be with him. I just want to make sure I am being there in every possibly way to help him get through this tragedy . I am surprised that there are not many or any at all support groups for "step mom or dads" on how to help your spouse through losing a child.

What distinguishes today's economic environment is that it is such a sharp break from a long period of low inflation and shallow recessions, an era lasting 26 years which some economists named "the great moderation". Indeed, the median-age voter this year has known little else, notes Michael Barone, a political expert at the American Enterprise Institute. There have been financial upsets, such as the 1987 stockmarket crash and the 2001 dotcom bust. But they lacked the destructive power of this year's financial tempest which has capsized banks, money-market mutual funds, insurers, hedge funds, car manufacturers—and countries as disparate as Iceland and Ukraine.
Against this background, Mr Obama confronts three distinct though related challenges: the financial crisis, mortgages and foreclosures, and recession. Of these, the financial mess has to be dealt with first. "Problems in the financial system", explains Douglas Elmendorf, an economist at the Brookings Institution, "evolve in a matter of hours, days and weeks."

Music is my medicine. Is it yours? I ask the public six golden questions to find out if and how they use music to feed the soul.
|'Elliot' by Nayt Housman
Here in the Medicine Cabinet Clinic we invite anyone and everyone for a probing and to share their ills and pills when it comes to musical relief. Tonight I nabbed young 17yo Elliot, who when not strumming on his guitar is out doing a spot of photography which fills the position of being his life passion. Let's see who fills his heart with music shall we? Yes, we shall.
Thinking of music as medicine:
Who are at least three musicians or groups flick your switch and turn up the volume?
Elliot: Okay! Parkway Drive, The Amity Affliction, Northlane.
Why are they the pills that cure your ills?
Elliot: I guess because I play a lot of guitar, and I like to play the stuff I listen to which is fast and loud and sometimes technical. I also like doing covers.
What kind of high do they give you?
Elliot: Hmmmmm…
Good question! I don't know if I'd call it a high. I guess I would say, they bring me up from however I am at that time. If I feel shit, then I feel less shit. If I'm feeling awesome, I feel more awesome. Cha feel?
Good question! I don't know if I'd call it a high. I guess I would say, they bring me up from however I am at that time. If I feel shit, then I feel less shit. If I'm feeling awesome, I feel more awesome. Cha feel?
So they're basically a mood improver? Maybe an like an upper?
Elliot: An upper indeedy.
When do you find yourself craving musical relief?
Elliot: I listen to music mostly on the train or driving, but I'm practically always listening.
Where does music take you?
Elliot: Usually a really good place of solitude, where I can immerse myself in the lyrics, beat, etc.
So it's all about the internal places it takes you?
Elliot: I guess it's a good time for thinking, or not; sometimes just a good place to be brain dead.
How do you share your music love?
Elliot: I don't know a whole lot of people who share my particular taste in music, so I mostly keep it to myself. But it's fun to pick up the guitar and play for people every now and again.
Elliot is the kind of guy who likes to just live day by day and see what gets thrown at him. I tell you what, if Elliot's ears can handle this kind of hardcore on a regular basis then hot dang I'm sure he can handle ANY ding dang diddly old thing. Props to you boy, you got some ears of steel!
It's perhaps not surprising that like for myself and many millions of us human beings out there, Elliot finds his escape in music. It's that momentary disconnect from the surroundings and happenings going on directly in front of us. Like, "Oops I almost got hit by a car!" No problem, music had my back. Or, "Oh crap I just severed a toe!" No biggie, I've got music to distract me until the ambulance arrives "Oooh Pethidine!" Sometimes that escape can effectively emphasize our emotions and other times it can provide the numbing agent for everything we want to drown out.
I shall dub this "The Analgesic Effect". Did you know around 50% of the human population experience chills when listening to their favourite music and this reaction signals the release of dopamine in to the part of your brain that is activated by addiction, motivation and reward? It's true! This is why music has such a powerful effect on so many of us and it doesn't matter what type of music it is. What ever it is that floats your boat gives the same reaction no matter who you are. That's probably why when I go without listening to music for any extended period of time I start feeling so agitated.
Doctor Nayt's prescription this week is only for you music junkies. You know who you are. Don't bother trying to cure this addiction; I encourage you to develop it further. So wherever you are at any time of the day, I want you to find a way to include music in that moment. If you're commuting to work, put on the radio, put in your earphones and allow yourself to disappear. While you're at work, if the radio isn't already playing, put on your iPod in the office, hum a tune. While you're out with friends, make them see a band with you, share an earphone and escape together. Let that dopamine flood your striatum, allow your eyes to roll back in your head and let the addiction take control.
*Note! I do not endorse any kind of addictive behaviour stimulated by any means other than music*

St Vincent and the Grenadines History
A brief history of St Vincent and the Grenadines
The 27th October is Independence Day in St Vincent and the Grenadines. To celebrate this important date, we thought we'd take a look at the fascinating history of the islands and the characters who have helped to shape this unique Caribbean nation.
Early history
When Europeans first arrived in the Caribbean in the 15th century, St Vincent and the Grenadines was inhabited by the Carib people. They, and other similar native groups in the region, had likely moved to the area from the Orinoco Valley in South America.
Up until the 18th century, the native population aggressively resisted any attempts by Europeans to settle the islands. Some escaped slaves from neighbouring islands like St Lucia and Grenada did find their way to St Vincent where they were given sanctuary and gradually married into the local population. This created one of the first mixed African-Carib ethnic groups, now known as Garifuna.
Colonial rule
The French were the first Europeans to occupy St Vincent and the Grenadines. Early settlers began cultivating coffee, tobacco, indigo, corn and sugar. African slaves were brought to the islands to work in the plantations located on the main island.
In the late 18th century, the British and French struggled for control of the islands and St Vincent and the Grenadines changed hands a number of times. In 1783, the islands finally came under British control, however the French continued to disrupt life on St Vincent from nearby Martinique, supporting a number of uprisings and rebellions in the late 1700s.
In 1790, a man named Alexandre Moreau de Jonnès was one of those charged with surreptitiously visiting St Vincent to train the native population in the use of firearms. An agent of revolutionary France, he made two secret visits to the islands and in late 1795 spent several months living in a Carib village near the east coast of St Vincent.
Moreau was interested in the social lives of the native population and the tropical vegetation that surrounded him. He was also fascinated by the beauty of the chief's daughter, 18-year old Eliama. He later went on to become a distinguished historian, writing extensively about his time on the islands. He wrote "This was truly Eden, with its perpetual spring, it's shady forests, its magnificent views, its flowering groves, [and] its singing birds. Nothing was missing, since a second Eve lived in this pleasant retreat."
Today, little has changed in the landscape of the islands and St Vincent and the Grenadines remains a lush tropical paradise.
Self-rule and independence
The British continued to rule St Vincent and the Grenadines until the mid-20th century. In 1834, slavery was abolished in the islands and in 1877 a Crown Colony government was installed. On 27th October 1969 St Vincent was granted associated statehood status giving it complete control over its internal affairs and finally, in 1970 it became the last on the Windward Islands to gain full independence.
The unique history of these islands has helped to shape the culture, people and landscape of the archipelago. Visit our site, or plan your own trip to the Caribbean, to find out more.Read More

Warbirds Downunder will be returning to the Warbird Airshow scene in 2018. Historically this event has been staged during November, but after much consultation, the decision has been made to bring Warbirds Downunder forward to October 12th and 13th 2018 to avoid the warmer weather conditions experienced during previous events.
Warbirds Downunder 2018 will encompass both an evening airshow on Friday October 12th and a full airshow program on Saturday October 13th.

The full line-up of aircraft will be published as the 2018 airshow approaches, but until then rest assured that Warbirds Downunder 2018 will once again be the largest gathering of Warbird Aircraft in Australia.
Please note: The museum will be closed on Thursday 11th October and Sunday 14th October to enable setup and pack up of Warbirds Downunder.
Confirmed aircraft for the 2018 airshow include:
Spitfire Mk XVI, Spitfire Mk VIII, Cessna A-37 Dragonfly, Lockheed Hudson, CAC Boomerang, Tiger Moth, Ryan STM, Ryan PT-22, CAC Wirraway, Gloster Meteor, Cessna O-2A, Hurricane, P-51 Mustangs, P-40 Kittyhawks, Cessna O-1 Birddogs, Winjeels, CT-4s, T-28 Trojans, Southern Knights Aerobatic Team, Harvards, Russian Roolettes, Super Constellation, Catalina, and Caribou.
Temora Shire Council will again be offering self-contained airfield camping and the popular Tent City 'Glamping' option will also be available for those looking for the simplicity of staying on the airshow site.
So, ensure that October 12th and 13th 2018 is marked in your calendar as a weekend not to be missed. Tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster. Please follow this link to purchase tickets or call 136100.

Research has taught us that most recruiters and hiring managers will only spend about 6 to 10 seconds scanning each resume before putting it into the "consideration" pile or throwing it out. This means that you must be able to grab their attention quickly, make them want to learn more and persuade them you are what they need. If this sounds similar to a marketing tactic, it is because that's exactly what it is. Successful resume writing is nothing more than marketing on an individual level, and you must effectively sell yourself as the product the company needs to buy.
Unfortunately, many IT professionals do not excel in marketing, and they are rarely experts in resume writing or interviewing. This causes them to miss out on potential opportunities for which they are more than qualified because of the lack of skill in an area that is not necessarily related to the actual position. You may be able to explain in detail why exception handling is a critical component of software application, but you are totally unfamiliar with any marketing concepts.
Your resume is basically your short, 10 to 30 second advertisement, and as any good marketer knows, the first step to a successful marketing campaign is knowing your audience.
Targeted Resume Writing
The first step in creating a great IT resume is to determine what is important to your audience. Put yourself in the shoes of the employer and determine what factors are going to be most important when selecting an applicant. Think about the position itself and what kind of characteristics are needed for someone to be successful in that position.
Many people make the mistake of focusing too much on themselves in their resumes. I am good at this; I have accomplished that; and so forth. Inexperienced IT professionals or recent graduates, in particular, struggle with this. They often try to compensate their lack of experience with in-depth information about their classes, awards, grades, etc.
Planning Your Resume
In order to get that elusive interview call, try to get inside the head of the recruiter or the manager. Ask yourself the following questions:
- What is the goal of the employer in hiring someone for this position?
- What kind of person will be doing the hiring?
- What would set an exceptional candidate apart from a good one?
- What kind of special skills and abilities would that exceptional candidate have?
While there are many other questions that may help you in determining what will be important to the employer, the real goal is to answer only one question above all: What would make the perfect candidate for this position?
Writing Your Resume
Do not make the mistake of assuming that you can use the same resume for any IT job or even any subfield within the industry. You will need to tailor your resume to the needs of each employer, and research each job thoroughly before writing one. This may seem like a lot of work– and it is– but the end result will always make it worth it, once you land that great job.
The next step will be to choose your resume format and begin writing. There are two main formats:
- Chronological Resume: In this format, your past employers are listed in a chronological order, beginning with the most recent. This style is good if you already have an extensive employment history in IT, as it highlights your experience more than your skills.
- Functional Resume: This format is designed to highlight your skills more than your experience, putting less emphasis on your work history and more focus on what talents and qualifications you bring to the table. A functional resume may be ideal if you have little to no experience in IT.
There is also a combination or hybrid format that combines the two and can be ideal, as long as it is not too long or wordy. As long as you research the position, use targeted individual marketing to sell yourself and always put the needs of the employer first, you should be able to land your dream position with a great IT resume.

112th CONGRESS
2d Session
Expressing the sense of the Congress that tax-exempt fraternal benefit societies have historically and continue to provide critical benefits to Americans and United States communities.
Mr. Paulsen (for himself, Mr. Kind, Mr. Neal, Mr. Duffy, Mr. Tiberi, Ms. Moore, Mr. Shimkus, and Mr. Ellison) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means
Expressing the sense of the Congress that tax-exempt fraternal benefit societies have historically and continue to provide critical benefits to Americans and United States communities.
Whereas America's fraternal benefit societies are long-standing mutual aid organizations created more than a century ago to serve the needs of communities and provide for the payment of life, health, accident, and other benefits to their members;
Whereas fraternal benefit societies represent a successful, modern-day model under which individuals come together with a common purpose to collectively provide charitable and other beneficial activities for broader society;
Whereas fraternal benefit societies operate under a chapter system—creating a nationwide infrastructure, combined with local energy and knowledge—positioning them to address most efficiently unmet needs in communities, many of which government cannot address;
Whereas the fraternal benefit society model represents one of the largest member-volunteer networks in the United States, with close to 9,000,000 Americans belonging to 31,500 local chapters across the country;
Whereas research has shown that the value of the work of fraternal benefit societies to society is more than $3.4 billion per year, accounting for charitable giving, educational programs, and volunteer activities, as well as important social capital that strengthens the fabric, safety, and quality of life in thousands of American local communities;
Whereas in 1909, Congress recognized the value of fraternal benefit societies and exempted such organizations from taxation, as later codified in section 501(c)(8) of the Internal Revenue Code;
Whereas fraternals have adapted since 1909 to better serve the evolving needs of their members and the public;
Whereas the efforts of fraternal benefit societies to help Americans save and be financially secure relieves pressures on government safety net programs; and
Whereas Congress recognizes that fraternal benefit societies have served their original purpose for over a century, helping countless individuals, families, and communities through their fraternal member activities: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that—
(1) the fraternal benefit society model is a successful private sector economic and social support system that helps meet needs that would otherwise go unmet;
(2) the provision for life, sick, accident, or other benefits to the members of these societies, as required by section 501(c)(8) of the Internal Revenue Code, is necessary to support the charitable and fraternal activities of the volunteer chapters within their communities;
(3) fraternal benefit societies have adapted since 1909 to better serve their members and the public; and
(4) the section 501(c)(8) tax exemption of fraternal benefit societies continues to generate significant, outsized returns to United States society and the work of fraternals should continue to be promoted.

June 12, 2008 -- NY POST
By: JENNIFER FERMINO
Seems Anthony Weiner is working hard to increase his dating pool.
The New York Democratic congressman, who has wooed a bevy of beauties from the Big Apple to the Beltway, is pushing a bill that would open up 1,000 new visa slots - for models.
"Anytime you can create jobs in New York, you've got to do it," said his spokesman, John Collins."The fashion industry is super-important in New York. It'll make it easier for costume artists, makeup artists and set designers to do shoots in New York."

Hard Teeth Face Gear manufacturing technical difficulties on the choice of the ways of complex curved surface tooth profile machining and heat treatment of tooth deformation control,the former is often due to the limitation of processing machine tools and cutting tools, so it is not easy to implement,the latter due to the blank material and the instability of the heat treatment process, often haphazard.
Except for system and policy factors such as management, Hard Teeth Face Gear transmission in our country in terms of technology with the advanced countries in the world there are still gaps,the reasons for the gap is our original foundation is weak, is still a developing country, is still in the primary stage of socialism.But we want to catch up in the 21st century, to achieve the level of developed countries.In the Hard Teeth Face Gear transmission industrial base must also be so.Shorten the gap, first of all, you must see the gap, and then suit the remedy to the case, take effective measures, stick to it, can be effective.Developed countries such as Germany, the United States and Japan are Hard Teeth Face Gear dominate, its manufacturing precision has can achieve stable level 6 above.And nearly 10 years of Hard Teeth Face Gear in China has been developing very quickly, but overall is still in a stage of transition from soft tooth face hard tooth surface.Due to the material composition, heat treatment process is not stable, processing equipment is older, so we generally low l ~ 2 level in terms of accuracy, heat treatment deformation and microstructure control aren't good enough, the effective hardening layer thickness is not uniform, and products of the most advanced countries in the life on average less than 50.In later ninety s, rapid development of computer technology in the world.CNC machine tool widely used.The only individual gear transmission enterprises in our country in recent years introduced several CNC machine tools.Some enterprise due to technical limited budget, is still by increasing some common equipment to expand production capacity, this makes the manufacturing accuracy and production efficiency is not high, still lack of competitive power.
The Hard Teeth Face Gear has a long history, but in the true sense of Hard Teeth Face Gear technology began in the 19th century, in theory to recognize the superiority of involute, the emergence of hard steel tools let after one thousand years of history casting gear, which laid the foundation of modern Hard Teeth Face Gear processing technology;After the 19th century, based on the generative principle of the invention of the gear hobbing machine and gear shaper, solved the problem of mass production and high precision gear, meet the huge demand for the development of the automobile on gear.Over the past 100 years, materials and manufacturing technology is the main driving force of Hard Teeth Face Gear technology rapid development.

Third time lucky for Aga Khan?
After years of wrangling, the Aga Khan's second divorce — revealed by court papers to have cost him £54 million — opens an intriguing possibility for the leader of the world's Ismaeli Muslims and one-time playboy.
At the age of 74, will he contemplate a third marriage?
His separation from his second wife, former Princess Gabriele zu Leiningen, lasted longer than their marriage, and throughout much of this time his most frequent companion has been British-based divorcee Beatrice von der Schulenburg.
Next in line? Newly divorced Prince Karim Aga Khan with Countess Beatrice Von Der Schulenburg
She is the daughter of Sixties folk singer Baron Frederik van Pallandt — half of the Danish singing duo Nina & Frederik.
He later went into drug- trafficking and was shot dead in the Philippines in 1994, along with his Filipina common-law wife, apparently victims of a narcotics syndicate.
Beatrice, whose former husband Jeffrey was the boss of a City recruitment company, has kept a low profile since being spotted with the Aga on a yacht off the Costa Smerelda in Sardinia.
Old friends of the Aga Khan say there is little need for him to enter into matrimony again. He has three grown-up children by his first wife, the former British model Sally Croker-Poole, and a son, Aly, by his second.
The announcement of a deal in Paris on Friday to end the divorce battle with his statuesque German-born second wife surprised many, who thought he was in no hurry to reach a settlement.
Moving on: The Aga Khan's separation from his second wife, former Princess Gabriele zu Leiningen, lasted longer than their marriage
The divorce was begun in the High Court in London before switching across the Channel to France. The racehorse-owning Aga, who is worth £6 billion and has homes on five continents, lives mainly at his estate near Chantilly, north of Paris.
It was reported that he moved there in the hope of getting a better divorce settlement than he would have expected in Britain.
In the event, the deal is remarkably similar to the cost of his first divorce in 1995.
Princess Gabriele moved to Britain and lived quietly near Ascot when the divorce was first switched to London. But she and her son moved to Switzerland a year ago.
Madonna's royal love-note row
Royal Mail: Madonna on the red carpet for W.E at the Venice Film Festival
The news that she was making a film about the abdication crisis was received with a chilly silence by the Royal Family.
And when Madonna likened herself to the American adventurer Wallis Simpson, with whom she felt a kin-ship, the reservations only deepened.
But the pop queen reveals that there were some among her well-connected critics who were just as keen to exploit her.
It came in the early days of her film project when she was scouring the country for letters between Wallis, Edward VIII and other central figures in the drama.
Madonna's movie, W.E., about the love affair that imperilled the monarchy, gets its premiere later this month at the BFI London Film Festival.
Her screenplay is based on these letters. But many of them were in private collections and, according to Madonna, some of their owners asked her for money for them, which she refused.
She declines to name names, but asked if she had paid anyone, Madonna says: 'No.'
However, she does single out for praise former Harrods owner Mohammed Al Fayed.
He acquired the house in Paris — complete with contents — where the Duke and Duchess of Windsor lived, and allowed Madonna to see his collection of royal letters without any strings.
If she wasn't already, Kate Middleton has been firmly established as part of London's fabric. The first pub has opened in the capital bearing the name Duchess of Cambridge since her wedding to Prince William.
'One of our directors is a good friend of Prince William's private secretary [Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton], so he thought it would be great to name the pub after the new Duchess of Cambridge,' says Simon Waind, 32, landlord of the Shepherd's Bush boozer.
'There has been talk of Kate visiting the pub — she would be very welcome.'
For writer William Cash, restoring his family home, Upton Cressett Hall in Shropshire, to its former glory has been a labour of love.
After four years of graft — not to mention writing of cheques — the hard work appears to have paid off.
The 15t-century moated manor has been nominated in three categories for Hudson's Heritage Awards, the Oscars of the stately home business.
The house was bought by Cash's Eurosceptic Tory MP father Bill in 1971, and during its 500-year history has played host to such figures as Edward V and Baroness Thatcher.
More recently, Elizabeth Hurley was a guest at a dinner there to celebrate the completion of the restoration and the opening of the Upton Cressett Foundation, a literary retreat for writers.
'People call up and want to stay in the Elizabeth Hurley suite for their honeymoon, but I say it's actually called the Library Bedroom and will stay that way,' says Cash, 44.
What a Carry On by Sally
Knee-jerk reactions: Sally Farmiloe got a little too into character while acting in Carry On Brighton
Actor Daniel Day-Lewis spent weeks in a wheelchair to portray crippled Christy Brown for the Oscar-winning film My Left Foot. Such thespian dedication has rubbed off on Sally Farmiloe.
Sally, former squeeze of Lord Archer, has just completed the run of Carry On Brighton, a homage to the fruity Carry On films, at Hampstead's Pentameters Theatre.
The script required her burka-wearing character, Fatima, to knee Dead Ringers actor Mark Perry in the groin. On the final night, Sally's over-enthusiastic knee action apparently poleaxed Perry, triggering gasps from the audience.
'I did advise Mark to wear a cricketer's box and told him to stand upstage so the audience didn't actually have to see my knee going into his wotsits. He did neither,' says a repentant Sally.
'I had no intention of hurting him. Afterwards, he didn't speak to me at the cast party.'
A fully recovered Perry assures me he is taking it on the chin, so to speak.
Nobel prize-winning writer V. S. Naipaul and his wife Khannum are in mourning — for their cat.
The 79-year-old author was do devoted to black-and-white moggie Augustus, who appeared on some of his book covers, that he placed an announcement in the births, marriages and deaths page of The Times. It read: 'Our much beloved Augustus Naipaul passed away on 26th September 2011 and is sadly missed by V. S. Naipaul, K. Naipaul and Sandra, housekeeper.'
Naipaul's literary agent Luke Ingrams tells me: 'He was named after the first Roman emperor; the author said that with Augustus in residence, the house was no longer a republic.'
PS Despite buying an £8 million house in London last month, there is no sign that Peter Mandelson has reined in his spending.
The former Business Secretary was spotted over the weekend at a branch of upmarket supermarket Waitrose in Marylebone High Street, Central London. According to a sharp-eyed observer, he kept a taxi waiting for him with its meter running while he did his weekly grocery shopping.

I'm not sure this is a good idea:
Two American missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, hit a snag when they made a pitch to the Iqaluit District Education Authority on Sept. 27. It was the first big setback for the pair, who have been well-received elsewhere in town.I would be opposed to having missionaries proseletyze a "captive audience" of young kids in school, whether those missionaries be LDS or any other faith.
This was the first time that Mormon missionaries have requested classroom time with the students, and board members were less than thrilled with the idea.
"Not my kids," said vice-president Aseena Allurut, who was at the meeting.
Board member Katherine Trumper, on behalf of the group, raised a concern that there was no precedent for allowing a specific religious group in the classroom.
Inuksusk High principal Terry Young replied that there have been presentations in the past that "did not result in a good thing." Young also said that the board had denied requests from religious groups for the last five years.
The missionaries informed the board that several schools in Quebec had allowed missionaries into their schools. At Trumper's prompting, they agreed to present letters of references from the principals of those schools.
"Frankly I was somewhat surprised that they didn't have those [references] in hand," says Trumper.

Hurricane Fabio weakened some as it made its way across the Pacific Ocean Sunday night, far away from major land masses, U.S. forecasters said.
In its 8 p.m. PDT advisory, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said the storm had weakened from a Category 2 to a Category 1 hurricane with sustained winds of near 90 mph and higher gusts. It was centered about 685 miles west-southwest of the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California and was moving to the west-northwest at 10 mph.
Because it was so far out to sea, the hurricane center said no coastal watches or warnings were warranted.
Fabio was expected to turn to the northwest Monday and then to the north Tuesday.
Forecasters said they expected Fabio to become a tropical storm Monday and further atrophy into a tropical depression Tuesday as it moves over much cooler waters.
Fabio's hurricane force winds were extending outward from its eye up to 35 miles and tropical storm force winds were reaching out up to 115 miles.
Fabio became the fifth hurricane of the season on Friday afternoon, more than a month ahead of schedule, the hurricane center said.

other creative commons, sites like jamendo, free music out there?
May 2007
May 2007
hi i love jamendo. i was wondering what are some other sites like jamendo that allow you to download free music? i especially like the fact that you can download full albums here. i only listen to electronic music so im looking for electronic music :)
May 2007
there are lots of them, you can browse also, because most are tagged with electro or ambient or whatever you look for:
a few examples:
May 2007
Don't forget the Creative Commons site itself -- it has a directory.
May 2007
"Listen to over 500 hand-picked complete albums. If you like what you hear, download an album for as little as $5 (you pick the price), or buy a real CD, or license our music for commercial use. You'll get MP3s & WAVs, and no copy protection (DRM), ever."
May 2007
what a question... there are hundreds of tons of free music tracks out there :)
i'm really into netlabels...
You say you like electronic music? Perfect, thats what the majority of netlabels offers
(at least it seems to me that way).
Places to start:
Electronic netlabels:
hope this helps you ;)
(or, i'm sure it does...)

(Read through the BS).
Many artist on Reverbnation offer fan exclusive downloads. This however does not give rights to use the music in projects etc...and what bothers me the most is that emails and contact info for the artist are plainly visible to the public to write and ask for certain permissions, but somehow agencies like Jamendo sets itself up as a middle man on artist music making money off of it while hiding it from the artist affiliated with them. They seem not to want to pay artist shares and the music rights explanation their using to make money is technically illegal in the first place and only achieved by manipulative jargon. They not only rip the public, but artist to extents far beyond what's visible.
They continuously have peculiar technical problems that affect artist stats on plays and streaming, (except their chosen house mouse's) and their not uniform in posting updates on streaming shares for artist either. Example: every two months on my list there were updates to streaming revenues from as far back as 2007 and then in 2014 it all but froze when I got close to 100 Euros in May. Following the May freeze I received more listens than I had the entire 6 and a half years since I've been posting my music to the site. It's now the end of November. They constantly make excuses where the obvious is present to get around paying artist. In 6 years I got to 74 Euros with 1 tenth the streaming shares. The listens I've had since may of the year would put me well over the top but now they have some lame excuse for not posting until whenever! What a crock of shit! They've been stealing the whole time and still don't want to pay out a few cents. They get paid off of my music right away. That equates to major greed, hate or just plain evil. And I know they hope like hell I just leave the site so they can just get me out of the way and still use my stuff under cover anyway. Fortunately they are under investigation and have numerous complaints on file with the BBB (Better Business Bureau's) of different localities.
Also they do have some associates who are somewhat spiteful if you don't agree with them or ask too many questions especially the ones they don't care to answer. In this they exhibit deceptive practices and are being investigated and honestly unless reform becomes an option I personally don't see them lasting out the year under the current system of artist/listeners/fans and record keeping. Everything is blocked or hidden from one another in a way that lets them maintain an exclusive control over communications or interaction between artist and fans and that of itself presents the basis for investigation. It speaks for itself if you but give it a little thought.
They work on the platform of not letting the right hand know what the left hand is doing now what would be the reason or reason's for that? They have financially grown exponentially from artist all over the world and give little or nothing in return except to promote their own choices and offer excuses for why artist and fans are frustrated alike. Think about it! I'm not saying everyone involved with Jamendo is crooked I'm just saying for now the crooked are running things and their time is running out so they're obviously stealing as much as they can while they can while working on a newer fresh approach to making money off of artist without them knowing it. As for now they've been found out and it's only a matter of time. Sad for the fans and artist (outside of Jamendo's grace) and if they seem to care it's only in words and excuses, I've seen no hint of slowing or stopping deceptive practices and for now it seems they only escalate. There is a lady there that basically rides the back of the beast with cup overflowing who obviously has the option of making things hard for anyone she may have personal issues with. Believe me when I tell you they have full control over artist accounts/dashboards and statistics to manipulate at will and do.

November 2014
They tried to tell me that my music was Creative Commons music and that because it was so I could not use tracking agencies like Adrev. That was not the case! An artist creation is not in and of itself creative commons music because he assigns CC licenses to his own music. It is only considered CC music by users of the CC agreement of the work and not the originator/copyright holder. As a result I have made more money and actually have had 4 deposits to my pay pal account where each one dwarfs Jamendo's records of streams, and license sales. They've sold 3 licenses and streamed my music for nearly 7 years and my Jamendo bank is frozen at 74 Euros and 8.5 USD since may of 2014 after I spoke with a girl or lady if you will named "Natalia" via Skype who was in no way helpful but to the contrary very evasive, controlling and rude. Coincidence? I don't think so. When I told them I had recorded the conversation they tried to tell me it was illegal..! LMFAO....As I said I've been paid 5 times what Jamendo holds in less than 9 months by a new tracking agency called Adrev who finds my music wherever it may be worldwide. Another problem I have with Jamendo is that when they sell my music they get paid a share, it doesn't say what their share is, but they also get it right away. I have to wait because they set a ceiling, but can freeze me anytime they desire. Blatant fucking thieves man! They've made sales of my stuff they haven't reported and that's why they hate Adrev, BMI and ASCAP. They want to bullshit basically and take what they want unquestioned. Think about it. Sorry they got busted!
Now Jamendo would have you believe that this will interfere with your licenses or permissions under CC agreements, but such is not the case as long as you have permission by either paid pro licensing (which issues code) or directly from the artist/Author/Copyright holder. While the free CC licenses are technically valid Adrev however will make you prove that the artist offered a free license simply because (Jamendo is under investigation) for just the reasons I've already mentioned and are not held as a credible licensing agency for the same reasons but merely tolerated. Obvious deviant practices may slip by the majority but be assured not everyone is quite so easily fooled. Going directly to the artist is as easy as pie especially when you share a site with them. Why would you do any other? You should not be so proud as to think of going around the artist anyway this is the beginning of wrong thinking and wrong doing despite what an agency may tell you. Right is right and wrong is wrong as much as 2+2 is still 4. When something so simple is made to seem hard it's only because someone seeks to monopolize for personal gain.
(You have to read through the bullshit). Admittedly by Creative Commons.org BMI or ASCAP doesn't stand in the way of their artist issuing CC licenses to the public they only track their artist uses and see they get their few cents accordingly which has no effect on the CC user of said license since the user is not claiming copyright to the original work and is only claiming the project by acknowledging the artist for their contribution to his/her project. (dependent on the type of CC license)
Jamendo doesn't want to deal with artist who are tracked by BMI, ASCAP or Addrev for that matter because the shares being tracked are no longer available for them to cash in on. That's why they have the deceptive clause reading "artist with performing rights affiliations etc, etc...) but if you read deeper you'll see that any artist despite affiliations acting as his/her own publisher is exempt being that no conflict exist between Jamendo's licensing interest and that of the performing rights agency. For Jamendo to discriminate against said artist due to mere affiliation would present ethical questions and violate rights in the most basic sense. Jamendo sells CC licenses. Meaning Jamendo can still sell Pro licenses but they will be tracked and all plays calculated by tracking agencies. Once again this does not affect the projects AdSense revenues for the user of the CC license "Pro or Free". But if you thought you could get paid for the Artist music you were in error from the very start, that would be theft. You may earn per play and click of your project embodying the artist work only through AdSense in the US. I don't know what's going on in other countries. The only reason Jamendo can get a share of pro sales is because they're acting as the middle man between artist and user. They take the user's money and suggest and artist share that get's posted as words in an artist account for which he may never get paid so in essence they are thieves from the start because they look for ways to keep the sale text only to the artist account pages. They don't want you to know this so hence no artist/fan communications.
When I saw that Jamendo bashed it's own artist for finding other ways of making money my heart dropped and I began to investigate them on my own. I read, filled complaints and checked their stats against my contacts with what I have to work with and find deviance to the point of no return. I keep records of my findings just as I keep the recording of the conversation with Natalia as evidence and more accumulates on a weekly basis. How can they ever make it right now? Too much manipulation and dishonesty. They even distort the music files of artist they begrudge right on the Jamendo widgets, Why and how? because they have that access. Can I prove it? I already have with collaborators from other sites as well as affiliates and fans. They choose their times for certain artist and by exposing them I make myself a target, The problem with them taking advantage of it is like a fish to bait. They got snagged! My suggestion...Jamendo "Straighten up and fly right" you're not untouchable and fortunately you're not the antichrist even if you may be an affiliate you're not so big as to not be tumbled. Democracy 1 more - One World order 1 less.

The Civilians advances theater as an engine of artistic innovation and strengthens the connections between theater and society. An artist-led company, The Civilians creates and produces new theater and pursues our artistic mission through programs serving artists and the public. The company's work is grounded in investigative theater, an artistic practice rooted in the process of creative inquiry. Investigative theater brings artists into dynamic engagement with the subject of their work; the artists look outward in pursuit of pressing questions, often engaging with individuals and communities in order to listen, make discoveries, and challenge habitual ways of knowing. The ethos of investigative theater extends into production, inviting audiences to be active participants in the inquiry before, during, and after the performance. Believing that a culture of ongoing innovation and vitality is fed by having artists be a central part of our organization, we sustain a multi-disciplinary community of Associate Artists as a core component of the company.

On Right Node Raising in Catalan and Spanish
The derivation of Right Node Raising (RNR) has been the object of much debate in the generative literature, but the analysis of this construction has not received much attention so far in the literature on Catalan and Spanish. Here I analyze the properties of RNR in these languages and propose that the distinction introduced in Valmala (2012) for English RNR also applies: Catalan and Spanish are argued to have two types of RNR with different information-structural, prosodic, and syntactic properties. In Focal-Pivot RNR (FP-RNR), the pivot is focal, is preceded by a prosodic break, and undergoes ATB-movement from both conjuncts of the coordination, i.e. it is ex-situ. In Non-Focal-Pivot RNR (NFP-RNR), on the contrary, the pivot is not focal, is not preceded by a prosodic break, and occupies its canonical position, i.e it is in-situ. NFP-RNR is the result either of ellipsis in the first conjunct or of multidominance of the pivot.

Indiegogo Campaign & news for January and February!
As I get older, the years are starting to pass very quickly - and the beginning of this year has been no exception! I can't believe it's the middle of March (Sun, please come out. This weather and snow is so dreich and miserable...) It has been a very exciting time, however - so, without further ado, here's what I've been up to!
Indiegogo Debut Album Campaign Launch
Last week I launched my Indiegogo crowdfunding page to raise funds to help me complete my debut album! The aim of the campaign is to take pre-orders which will help me cover the costs of arranging, recording and producing the album. Those who pledge will receive their copy, or any of the other perks or rewards on offer, prior to public release.
I have two months to achieve my target. I'm so grateful to those who have already contributed - I've received just over £1000 in one week! - and I would love to build on this and reach my goal. Any support at all is greatly appreciated.

Save OUr strings - West Lothian council proposes cuts to string & percussion tuition
I would ask that if you value music education for young people from all backgrounds, not just those lucky enough to be able to afford private tuition, then please sign this petition against the proposal to cut string and percussion tuition and ensembles from schools within West Lothian.
Learning an instrument at school and having access to music tuition was what sparked my interest in music. Without the opportunities afforded in schools, many musicians I know would not be where they are today.

Celtic Connections 2018
I didn't manage to catch as many gigs as I had been hoping to (in fact, two of my favourite bands at the moment were performing on the same nights I was on stage: Mandolin Orange & I'm With Her). Some of my favourites included Innes White's 'New Voices', which was really fantastic (not that I'm biased...), Rura and the Kinnaris Quintet, Vair and Farrland and the Dick Gaughan Benefit Concert, as well as some Late Night Sessions and nights at the Festival Club.
Of course, I had my own gig on the 24th January in the Strathclyde Suite, supporting Cathal McConnell. The audience were very warm and supportive - huge thanks if you managed to come along! - and I think it may have been one of my favourite gigs to date.
Big thanks to Oak and Thorn for their kind review:
"Her amazing vocal talents really showed on last song, Andy M. Stewart's "Where Are You Tonight I Wonder." She took Stewart's words and imbued them with a sadness that surpassed the original version – hard to believe if you weren't there to see it."
Massive thanks to the band, and to Euan Burton for joining us on bass.
BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year 2018
The BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year competition took place on the 28th of January in the City Halls... and I was overwhelmed and delighted to be named the winner for 2018!
Anyone who was there on the night or was listening in will know that the competition really was anyone's game. It was such a privilege to share the stage with the other finalists. You can watch all the performances from the night here. (A massive thank you to John Lowrie and Calum Morrison for their help with my song arrangements for the evening.)
The few weeks that followed were a bit of a surreal blur! The next morning I headed to STV 2 to be interviewed and recorded with the band (Sally Simpson, Conal McDonagh and Innes White), I was on BBC Scotland's Timeline later that week and interviewed on BBC Radio Scotland's 'Travelling Folk' programme, which were all great fun.
Festival/Gig Announcements
A couple of festival announcements have come out for me for later in the year, including Tiree Music Festival and Blazin' in Beauly. It will be my first time to both and I'm so excited to be heading to Tiree and Beauly to perform and do some workshops!
Head to my GIGS page to keep up to date with my bookings for the year!
- Coming up: Scottish Thistle Awards for Visit Scotland on the 15th March and Irvine Folk Club with Innes White on the 28th March.
That's all for now - but I will be keeping you up to date with some music I'm listening to, gig announcements and some song covers over the next month or so.
Cheers! :) x

We arrived at about the same time this morning and found our latrines still standing and the walls well set. The locals had done little or no additional work after we left the day before, but that was okay with us.
I started the day by pulling out a couple of foam rubber baseballs that we got from the Academy's Admissions Office as souvenirs and gave them to a few of the kids that had been hanging around us and watching. Needless to say, they were pretty pleased by their new toys. Dan was nice enough to take a few photos before we got started.
The morning consisted of Winston doing more digging--but first he had to bail the pit out because we arrived to find his pit completely filled with water (well, to about 12 inches of the edge) and since it didn't rain that much, it confirmed what I deduced the day before. The water table in most of Cambodia is only about 12 inches below the ground!
Anyway, he and another local bailed it all out while Dan, Annie, and our Cambodia expert, Jay (sp?), mixed a fresh batch of mortar on the ground with five, five gallon buckets of sand and one 50 kg bag of Portland Cement. After that, we got to it with the bricks and made good time until we got near the top of the door frame. At this point, day installed the concrete-poured vent window pieces. Things were getting a bit sporty with the height, too, and you can see in the photos that I was standing on the equivalent of two parallel 2x4s that were on top of the one meter circular cylinders (in full rolling formation) because they hadn't been installed yet. I managed to make it through the whole day without a fall, which is a very good thing considering my potential impact points. The other group, despite being in much better ground, was only slightly behind us ;-) and progressing well, too.
the morning was generally uneventful except for the fact that they constantly asked Winston to widen his pit to fit the concrete cylinders. We measured the pit an few times and thought that the cylinders would fit, but we had a few Lost in Translation moments getting that point across, so Winston continued to dig and scrape and bail.
We left for lunch at about 1130 and again arrived at the Vine ravenous with hunger. Everyone looked like they were going to fall asleep on the deck, but the food brought them back to life. We had about a 30 minute siesta next, though, which I used to walk around the gardens with my camera and to explore the peppercorn fields.
When we returned, the work got very busy. We worked hard to complete the walls of the latrine and we had a few more translation issues dealing with how high the walls would ultimately be. Finally, after a few replaced, then disassembled bricks, we settled on a height over the door frame that included a slope to the back for drainage from the corrugated steel roof that would be installed later.
We finally got clearance on the pit for Winston after a couple of locals helped us pull out some big rocks and also dislodge an unside down five gallon bucket that Winston had been using as a stable island in his inland sea of muck.
Note: the pig was gone from his/her sty this morning. In the trash, we saw a pig's tail. You can do the math on that one. The family looked happy and well-fed.
The installation of the pipes/cylinders that followed was tough work. Each of the cylinders easily weighed 100 kg and probably more--reinforced concrete one meter in diameter. They were slid into the pit on poles and then set by a combination of methods that included digging out a little more around them for balance, Winston and I jumping on the them to set them, and, when was slid in wrong, looping a rope through the side drainage hole and hoisting it up with the help of three people. It was funny that the barefoot kids watched our every step, each of them only inches away from falling into the muck.
Finally, though, the first two cylinders were set side-by-side, to the great relief of Winston. We spent the rest of the afternoon completing the brick laying and got to the last few bricks just before quitting time. We let Jay and Mr Senh do the last few bricks so that they would get it right and meet their expectations. We'd realized early in this process that helping is good, but there are times when we just need to step back and let them do their thing the right way without our good intentions or interference. Vy was very helpful throughout this process as she interpreted for us.
The other team was at about the same point as we were by about 1600 and twenty minutes later we decided to call it a day. The roof is left, as is setting the pieces and running the drain lines from the latrine to the septic cylinders.
Good news about today was that we had very little rain and the ground was a little drier. We had probably our sunniest day of the trip, but the cadets were pretty diligent about their sunscreen even if I had to play "Dad" and remind them a few times.
We left just before 1630 and made our way back to the hotel, arriving just before 1700. Winston, Hansena, Annie, and Luke made a beeline for the beach and I loaded photos on the laptop for later processing. I joined them a few minutes later and enjoyed cooling off in the water, wading through the shallows, and taking a few more photos. The water certainly wasn't clear, but it was a little cooler than I expected, too. I used the opportunity to do a little more washing of my DWC shirt, but still came back and did shower laundry with my shorts.
During the break before dinner, I post-processed all of my RAW photos and got them backed up. We left for dinner at 1830 and went to a very nice restaurant (The Veranda) which had a stunning overlook of Kep Bay. We could see thunderstorms over the water while we enjoyed a very good dinner. The cadets went "western" and ordered pizza, steak, and pasta, while Dan and I had one of the national dishes of Cambodia, Cha Kreung. Winston was kind enough to treat the over 21ers to fruity happy hour cocktails, too. Luke saved half of his pizza for later and took it back to the hotel room to refrigerate until the US-Belgium World Cup game starts at 0300 local time. We'll see how productive the cadets are tomorrow as we (hopefully) finish our first two latrines--what a big day!

No, I hate them because they suck and would rather not hear them on the radio. Just like that Kryptonite song by 3 Doors Down, and anything involving Rebecca Black.

Ugh, Nickelback. Hated it when "Rockstar" was on the radio all the time and everyone listened to it. Such a crappy song.
PhotoSmith | 25
Everybody has their own taste in music. Everybody hates one band our another. Nickelback is just a populate one to hate.

Kryptonite is an awesome song and should not be put in the same category as Rebecca Black. Nobody deserves to be put in a category with Rebecca Black.

Sadly not even him... Rebecca Black is just a whole no low.

*I hear it sounds like every Nickelback song. <<-- Fix'd!
No. Seriously. There are websites that play different Nickelback songs from different albums. One from the left speaker and one from the right speaker. It's the same song. Over and over and over again.

I'm sick of hearing shit about Nickleback. They're fine. They're not a wonderful band, but they're not horrible, either. Most people who complain about them haven't even heard more than two songs by them, and only do so because others do. Guess what guys? It's getting old.

You're surprised by that? It's how we are as humans, even before birth. A bunch of sperm die trying to fight to get through to the egg, and you were the lucky little prick who took advantage of the path others set before you. Millions of others died so you could live. I hope you're happy with yourself, 15.
Today, I went to the mall to pick up the 1 carat diamond my husband recently purchased for me after 6 years of being together. My mom called, I answered my cell. Later, I realized that the baggie with the diamond was no longer in my pocket. It fell out when I answered my phone. FML
