C – colluvium landslide debris
Colluvium is a mixture of sediment and/or rock that moved by gravity, usually en mass, down a steep slope accumulating at or near the base of the slope. In Manitoba, the primary colluvium occurrences are along the Manitoba Escarpment, glacial spillways and river banks. The largest colluvium deposits, and the only ones visible on this map, are along the Manitoba Escarpment and glacial spillways where sediment and rock slid off wet, slippery shale. Image 9 is a computer-generated image of surface topography along the Manitoba Escarpment. Image 10 depicts the Assiniboine spillway. Spillways are large channels that were cut by glacial drainage. In Image 10, the size of the spillway is compared to the 'tiny' modern Assiniboine River. Image 11 shows large slump blocks that slid down the north wall of the Assiniboine spillway. The inset on Image 11 explains the process.

Trial prep is stressful.
Even since before I started my new job, my office has been home to a very large case file. Because of its location, I was tasked with the organization and maintenance of the file. I became close with the file. When a paralegal or attorney would rush in looking for a pleading or deposition, I would point them to it.
I knew the relationship was too good to be true. Now this case has come up for trial, a day that seemed so far off until a few weeks ago. The case has become a monster that threatens to drown me in paper every day. It demands every second of my time at work, forgetting that I have other relationships with other cases that must be maintained as well. When I attempt to work on a pressing matter in any other case, this case acts hurt for a moment, then narrows its eyes and promises revenge. Last week I began to feel like the victim of an abusive relationship.
When I worked for the Boss, trial prep consisted of reminding him of the upcoming trial. Many of our cases fit into one redwell. Those were the larger ones.
That was before I was introduced to med mal cases, many of which last for several years before either settling or making it to trial and sucking the joy out of the lives of a few legal staff members in the process.
I jest, but it has been a stressful couple of weeks. I am a fast worker, but this level of trial prep makes me feel slow. I try to maintain an organized office, but these days I am just happy to find a trail to my door. I have been challenged with emergency binders and seemingly missing deposition exhibits. I tried and tried last week, but even during a day with absolutely no breaks, I felt as though I could barely keep up and breath at the same time.
All that being said, it's kind of fun. The demands of litigation are both vexing and enticing at the same time. I hate missing lunch, or being so worked up that I don't even get hungry, but I enjoy working so hard to meet deadlines and help the team. I enjoy the feeling of doing a job that matters.
I guess this is my introduction to the real, nitty grittiness of litigation. For a newbie, I hope I am doing well. Of course, we are all so busy that I'm not sure anyone has time to tell me if I've made mistakes or not.
So until everything slows down a little bit, I rely on the advice of a very kind associate at my firm. She noticed how stressed I was the other day and how my eyes looked kind of glazed over with computer screen glare and reminded me of one unfailing truth: "The most you can do is your best, Mel. That's all any of us can do."
And she is correct. In careers, in relationships, in life in general, the most we can do is our best. So I survived the week and lived to endure the inevitable time crunches that the next week will bring. Here's hoping that I patch things up with the file on Monday so that it will be more inclined to work with me, rather than against me.

Plenty of experienced cooks swear by the cast iron skillet. It's perfect for searing meat, creating one-pot masterpieces (like this Cheesy Meatball Skillet), and even baking bread. Plus, if you care for your cast iron skillet properly, it's a natural non-stick pan. Problem is, cleaning a cast iron skillet can be a bit tricky. If the process has left you mystified, don't worry–we can explain exactly how to clean a cast iron skillet.
How to Clean a Cast Iron Skillet in 5 Easy Steps
When it comes to cleaning your skillet, you need to pay attention to the "don'ts" as much as the "do's." For starters, you don't want to use soap or steel wool to clean your skillet. And you should never put it in the dishwasher! One benefit of using cast iron is that the pan becomes "seasoned" with baked-on oil over time. This creates a protective coating so your food doesn't stick to the pan when you use it. By learning how to clean a cast iron skillet the right way, you'll maintain your skillet for the long haul. Here's what you'll need:
Clean the skillet. Use a soft sponge or brush to clean the pan as soon as you're finished cooking. Many people prefer not to use soap during this step because it can strip away the seasoning on the pan.
Use a scrubbing agent if necessary. If you notice any bits of stuck-on food or grime, kosher salt should do the trick. Sprinkle enough kosher salt to lightly cover the bottom of the pan, and then add enough water to make a paste. Use your sponge to scrub the pan and then rinse it well.
Dry the skillet. Water is the enemy of a cast iron skillet. You should never allow your skillet to sit in the sink or soak in water because it can rust quickly. After you clean your skillet, use several towels to dry it completely. If you want to be extra careful, place the skillet over high heat on the stove. Any extra water will evaporate.
Add oil. Before you put your skillet away, you want to add an extra layer of protective coating to make sure it's still well-seasoned. To do this, simply add a light coating of canola, vegetable, or corn oil with a cloth or paper towel. Then buff away the oil until you can't see any visible greasiness. When you're done, it should hardly look like you've oiled the pan at all.
Heat the pan on the stovetop. Set the pan over high heat until it starts smoking. Once the pan has cooled, store it in a dry place until you're ready to use it again.
Other Cast Iron Care Tips
Now you know how to clean your cast iron skillet. But what happens if you mess it up? Don't worry! You can rescue a cast iron skillet in almost any condition. Here are some cast iron care tips to help you troubleshoot common problems:
Sometimes cast iron cookware can seem a little high maintenance. But don't let that stop you from using it! All it takes is a little oil and some heat to keep your skillet in top shape.

Okay, I know most of the year we all try to do our best to eat healthy, exercise, be good, do everything in moderation, yada, yada, yada. Well doggone it!! I want one day where I can just eat to my heart's content and not feel bad about it! Can I get a really loud AMEN?
So with that rebellious spirit, I would like to share with you some REALLY good looking and EXTREMELY sinful Thanksgiving Day Dessert Recipes that I found in the wonderful world of the internet.
Just click on the blue links to get to the actual recipes.
The first recipe I found looks simply heavenly! It's a beautiful Pumpkin Mousse recipe, made by Over the Tipsy Top Design.
I could just dive into this one head first! This recipe takes some time and a good amount of ingredients. It also includes rum as an optional ingredient. Not as easy as other dessert recipes I've seen, but the outcome looks to be well worth it.
The second recipe that caught my eye was this Pilgrim Hat Cookies recipe, from Woman's Day Magazine online.
Aren't these just too cute? There are only 3 ingredients to this recipe and they take no time to make. These are especially good for the little ones. They'll love to see a tray full of these when they walk in the door.
The third recipe I found is from The Chew online. It's called Chef Jamika's Sweet Potato Praline Cheesecake.
This sweet creation has a graham cracker crust with a mashed sweet potato filling and a praline topping.
My fourth recipe choice is these Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars, from The Girl Who Ate Everything.
This is a pretty traditional cheesecake recipe with a traditional crust and cream cheese filling, but it also includes granny smith apples, a streusel topping with oats and brown sugar, and caramel to top it off. It's like a hybrid of cheesecake and apple pie. Yum!!
Recipe # 5 comes from a site called Bakers Royale. I give you Pecan Pie Cookies.
Okay, these could very well be my favorite recipe thus far. I absolutely LOVE pecan pie. But to have it inserted into a cookie with chocolate drizzled on top? Well, it should be illegal, but thankfully it's not! If you try this recipe, PLEASE comment on my post and let me know how they turned out.
My 6th recipe reminds me so much of my late mother-in-law. She was the sweetest, most generous lady I ever knew and I miss her so much. Every holiday she made a to-die-for chocolate pie. What I loved about it was it tasted like chocolate fudge but also like a brownie with pie crust. Dollop some whipped cream on it and I forget where I am. I don't have my mother-in-law's actual recipe, but this looks to be very similar. It is called Chocolate Chess Pie from a website called Crunchy Rock.
Number 7 comes from a site called Bake It in a Cake. These are called Fran's Salted Caramel Brownie Bites with Salted Caramel Buttercream.
I have to say these look ridiculously fattening and over the top, but oh my goodness, I would love to try them. I never thought I'd like the salt/caramel combination until I tried a salted caramel cupcake from Georgetown Cupcakes. I honestly went to another dimension while I was eating it. If you haven't tried anything salted caramel, I highly recommend it.
My 8th recipe comes from a site called Culinary Couture. These are called Apple Pie Bars.
I don't know what it is with me and bars, but I just love them. Maybe because they don't require a plate or a fork. You can just pick one up and pop it in your mouth. These Apple Pie Bars look so rich and flavorful. They are not the typical apple pie taste because they have butterscotch chips in them, but I'm willing to bet they are delicious. Adding walnuts to them would be even tastier.
Recipe # 9 comes from Southern Living but is featured on MyRecipes.com. It is Key Lime Pie.
This dessert recipe would be a great choice if your Thanksgiving dinner is going to be later in the day or evening. As much as you think you'll be able to fit everything in, once you've eaten that big dinner, you're going to want something light and tangy to finish off the day. Key Lime Pie is the perfect solution. You can't go wrong with it.
And finally, last but not least, my # 10 recipe is something you can't do without on Thanksgiving Day – the traditional Pumpkin Pie. I found this on the Giant Eagle's MarketDistrict.com website. This recipe has over 2300 pins on Pinterest. It must be good!
So that's my ooey gooey, delectable, sinful, ridiculous, insane, over the top Thanksgiving Dessert List.
I hope you find one that inspires you to make for your guests on Thanksgiving Day. And if you do, please comment and let me know how it turned out.
Happy Thanksgiving!! Oh, and Black Friday is a great day to do everything in moderation again – except for shopping 🙂

In this dark hour, as the sun inches its way toward my horizon, I nestle in the stillness that forms the bud of this day.
Bless the stillness.
In this not-yet-formed week that holds promise, and yet is already limited by schedules and demands, I gear up for the free-for-all that will inevitably transpire.
Bless the free-for-all.
In this shifting of gears from what was, to what is, to what will be, I nurture the hopes of my heart that are continually shaped by the experiences unfolding all around me.
Bless the experience.
In this life bruised by heartbreak and kissed by love, I hold the paradox that brokenness and redemption connects us to each other, and to what is holy.
Bless the connections.
In this prayer that begins with emptying and gradually fills with awareness of what is possible, I offer what I have in service to all of God's creation.
Bless the creation.
Bless, and bless, and bless.

It's been an exciting first two weeks of school. A big thank you to Tracy Wiltshire for organising our pet day and Leighton Croft for organising the Agri Sports. The children had loads of fun! It was great to see so many members of our community there as well. Trophys for pet day will be given out in our assembly this Friday. Congratulations to the following 1st place winners:
- Best lamb - Alice Barnes
- Best dog - Allie Lowry
- Best miscellaneous animal - Evie Croft
- Lamb drinking competition - Lily Banks
- Best dressed animal - Evie Croft
We've also had an exciting week with our staffing organisation for next year. I have applied to the Ministry of Education for an extra teacher and through a long process we have managed to secure extra funding for 2018, so we can now confirm there will be a teacher in each class for 4 days a week. The BOT will still be funding part of a teacher, but it won't be as much as we had first anticipated.
Jo Richards has decided not to apply for a position for 2018 as she would like to spend more time with her family, especially before Arlo starts school during next year. Jo has been a real asset to our school and the children absolutely love her, so she will be missed. Hopefully we will see her to relieve throughout the year.
We had very experienced teachers apply for our recently advertised position and were able to appoint two teachers. Katherine Hanna will be teaching in the senior class 4 days per week and Jennie Manson will be teaching in the junior class 4 days per week. I will teach in each class one day per week and sometimes they will combine on a Friday.
Katherine is currently teaching at Broomfield School, and has been at Loburn and Rangiora Borough prior to Broomfield. She has years of experience throughout all of the year groups. Jennie has two young children. Since going back to work she has been teaching at Tuahiwi School and Kaiapoi Borough School across a variety of ages. Katherine and Jennie will come in this term to meet the children.

On Friday the 4th May we set off on our trip to Omagh, Co. Tyrone. Larry & Bernie in their newly restored XK120 FHC and myself and Miriam in the MK2 stopping at Slane and Newgrange on our way up. We arrived at the Silver Birch Hotel about 5pm. The National Day itself doesn't officially start until the Saturday but quite a few cars were already in situ. Shortly after arriving I was told of the sad passing of our dear friend Bertie Baird who we have known ever since the first meeting many years ago from when we first established contact with the Jaguar Drivers Club Area 30. His funeral had only taken place the previous day and sadly I was unaware that Bertie had died. Both he and his wife Anne were regular attendees at the National Weekend and at the Terenure Car Show, he will be sadly missed.

Traitor bikes are the lastest fixed import from the States. The brand is owned by Kevin Menard & Kyle Young of MTB firm Transition Bikes and their mission, they tell us, was to "produce high value steel bikes with a unique style all their own." The bikes will be distributed by Windwave, who also import Colnago, FSA and Vision products among others.
The range totals six bikes, all but two of which are single geared but there's plenty of variety. There's the Ringleader, Traitor's traditonal fixed bike, and the Luggernaut, a slightly more versatile singlespeed with braze-ons and a more relaxed geometry. The Ruben (named after the shop dog) is the most utility oriented machine, with discs and a nine-speed transmission.
Traitor Luggernaut
The Exile is a classic lugged steel road iron, sporting 105 and a rather nice straight blade fork, while the crusade singlespeed 'cross bike is made for the wild places. That just leaves the Streetfighter, which Traitor have christened a 650BMX - it's a rugged urban machine based around 650B wheels.
Traitor Crusade
Peter Nisbet, Managing Director of Windwave, says of the bikes, "I am very excited about taking on the distribution of this urban brand. This takes our company into a new market segment with massive potential as more and more people are using bikes for commuting and recreation. Traitor is a cool street brand; these fantastic bikes are the product of a dedicated group of guys who build what they want to ride. The focus is on functionality, affordability and most importantly rider's needs."
All the bikes are designed in house in Washington State and made in the Far East. Traitor are keen to point out that they "visit all the factories that produce their products several times a year and have an intimate relationship with them to ensure the quality of their products", and from the photos the bikes look well finished. The bikes will be debuting at Core Bike next week - we'll be there, so we'll have a snoop around them, kick the tyres and let you know what we think. Stay tuned!
Dave is a founding father of road.cc and responsible for kicking the server when it breaks. In a previous life he was a graphic designer but he's also a three-time Mountain Bike Bog Snorkelling world champion, and remains unbeaten through the bog. Dave rides all sorts of bikes but tends to prefer metal ones. He's getting old is why.

Post-Impressionist French artist Henri Martin (1860-1943) has been garnering more recognition, says Richard Lynch, director of Hammer Galleries, Manhattan.
NEW YORK—Post-Impressionist French artist Henri Martin (1860-1943) has been garnering more recognition, says Richard Lynch, director of Hammer Galleries, Manhattan. The gallery has organized an exhibition of approximately 40 of the artist's paintings, first at the Anderson Galleries, Beverly Hills (Oct. 1-25), and then in its own space (Nov. 1-Dec. 3).
Lynch told ARTnewsletter that "until 10 or 15 years ago, there was more of a market for Martin's work in Europe, where he is [still] better-known." He referred to Martin as a "sleeper," a less familiar artist now being discovered by collectors interested in Impressionism and Post-Impressionism "who have found that there are very few great paintings available" by the most renowned artists.
According to Kevin Anderson, director of the Beverly Hills gallery, prices for the paintings in the show, which are generally in the 24-by-36-inch or 30-by-40-inch range, cost anywhere from $100,000/600,000, though most of those in the show are priced from $200,000/400,000. "The most expensive Martin I ever sold," recalls Anderson, "was north of $400,000."
Of Martin's entire body of work, only his paintings are available, since few drawings, sketchbooks, watercolors or prints have been found. Hammer Galleries' Lynch says the artist's paintings are "seldom under $100,000, unless they are unfinished, or it was something he did on an off day." He notes that some oils can reach $800,000.
Martin devoted himself primarily to landscapes, painting at or near his home in southern France. He briefly studied under Eugéne Delacroix and won the admiration of Puvis de Chavannes. A success at the 1886 Paris Salon, he landed a scholarship that allowed him to travel to Italy, and again at the 1889 Salon, where he won a gold medal.
Paintings by Martin have appeared with regularity at auction. "There may be 30 works a year," that appear on the auction block says Anderson.
The artist's highest public-sale price to date is $973,638, for the 1912 oil-on-canvas Scene de couture—sous la pergola a Marquayrol, at Sotheby's London in 1990, which sold well above the $577,256/769,674 estimate. Other top prices for Martin's works: $644,488, for the oil La couture au jardin de Marquayrol, also at Sotheby's London, in 1996. A year later, at Christie's London, Les Faucheurs, 1903, fetched $497,748.

President Obama declared January to be National Mentoring Month. As a result, mentoring has been highlighted in many ways throughout the month. I especially appreciated hearing personal success stories from several mentors and mentees during the month. But, hey, January is almost over! (How did that happen?) Mentoring goes on all year – not just in January! Mentors will continue to share their knowledge and experience to guide and coach others; while mentees will continue to seek out individuals who can contribute to their personal and professional development. If you're not in a mentoring relationship now, feel free to contact me to find out how you can get involved as a mentor or mentee – or both. Don't wait until next January. The amount of time and effort is small, but the rewards are great!

Mentors NeededJanuary 20, 2012
The daughter of one of my friends had wanted to become a nurse ever since she was a little girl. Upon her college graduation, Lindsey (not her real name) was accepted into the nursing program at a large prestigious hospital. She recently left after only one year. My friend says that there was a sink-or-swim attitude among the more experienced nurses at the hospital which made a difficult job even more stressful. She says that if Lindsey had had a mentor to provide guidance regarding hospital procedures and culture, she might still be there.
Our local newspaper, The Post-Crescent, just featured an editorial regarding the upcoming retirement of baby boomers and the hiring of new employees to replace them. The potential numbers are huge! For example, 1/3 of the public school teachers in our local area could retire in the next 10 years. The editorial suggested mentoring as a way to transfer teaching skills and knowledge to the next generation of teachers with minimal cost. The article stated that industries around the country could benefit if mentoring was implemented for knowledge transfer.
What about your community and your workplace? It's time to establish mentoring programs now – before more valuable people and knowledge are lost!
The "Benefits" of MentoringOctober 23, 2010
As I have traveled around the country over the last few weeks, I have found that organizations continue to do more with less. (Really no surprise.) That means people continue to work harder, with fewer resources, to achieve outstanding business results. Career development options are low; stress is high.
I was reminded that it's also that time of the year when employees in many different organizations are making their choices for benefits (if their organization still offers benefits) such as medical, dental, spending accounts, etc. Many employees are dreading the enrollment time because they know that the portion they are required to pay will take a larger bite out of each paycheck in 2011. While talking with an HR (Human Resources) professional, I heard another frustration. "You work hard to provide the best benefits package your company can possibly afford, and employees still aren't satisfied."
How does mentoring fit? Mentoring is a career development option that can cost the organization little or nothing while providing huge value for employees and the organization. Individuals are matched with a mentor who can coach, transfer knowledge, broaden one's network, and raise the level of engagement. As organizations slog their way out of this recession, mentoring programs make sense!
What's the Rush?May 7, 2010
It seems everyone is in a rush, trying to do more/get more in less time. For example, a current project deadline is still two weeks away, but suddenly they need it now. Why wait to boot up your computer when you can access an app on your cell phone? Instead of sending a long, wordy e-mail message, why not text your BFF? (But not while you're driving!) And, speaking of driving, who do you see driving at the speed limit these days?!!
I've been working with someone who wants to establish a mentoring program that would rotate mentors and mentees every three months. Their objective is to get more faster. However, it takes time to establish a trusting mentoring relationship. In the current business environment of busyness, pairs of mentors and mentees will hardly have time to meet in three months, much less get to know each other. If they are truly looking for a mentoring program that will result in personal development, knowledge transfer, and increased social capital – they can't rush it. My advice is to build a mentoring program that selectively matches mentors and mentees, one that gives them the necessary time to communicate and build their relationship. Then, results can be achieved for both the mentee and mentor as well as for the organization.
Brain Drain?April 16, 2010
Every so often now, we hear bits of data that lead us to hope that this recession is finally beginning to soften. The data comes to us in the form of lower unemployment numbers, rising stock prices, increased consumer confidence, more housing starts, or even from our own sense that things are starting to turn around.
On the other hand, I am hearing that some organizations are beginning to fear that an improved economy is going to result in a brain drain. That is – valued employees will feel that the time has come to leave their current jobs and move to organizations that can offer greater opportunities for advancement, better salary handling, or more positive working conditions.
One way that organizations can demonstrate that their employees are valued is through mentoring – either by offering a corporate mentoring program or through support of collaborative mentoring with other similar organizations or with community and professional organizations.
Why wait for a brain drain? Mentoring offers the opportunity for mentors and mentees to build personal connections, develop leadership skills, and transfer knowledge while strengthening organizational ties. It just makes good business sense!
Mentoring – Everybody's Doing ItMarch 3, 2010
With recovery from the recession, mentoring is reemerging as a vehicle for personal and career development. Quite literally – people are entering into mentoring relationships as a means to get from where they are now to where they want to be in the future. And mentoring is one resource they are using to get there. Mentoring is turning up in more places than ever before – large corporations, small company settings, nonprofit organizations, schools, diversity groups, community services, and more.
While formal mentoring is growing in the United States, it has been a standard in many other countries for some time now. I recently read about Business Mentors New Zealand, a volunteer mentoring program that was established nearly 20 years ago and continues to grow. According to the New Zealand Herald, the program has approximately 1,600 mentors who are selected for their interpersonal skill and proven business acumen. Mentoring – transferring knowledge, skills, and experience!
Why Should I Become a Mentor?January 19, 2010
Given all of the responsibilities for Mentors that were outlined in last week's blog post, why would anyone choose to become a Mentor anyway?
Whether informally mentoring someone or when matched as a Mentor in a formal mentoring program, the two most common reasons that successful people choose to become a Mentor are:
- At some point in their life/career, someone reached out and mentored them. Now, they are at a point in their life or career in which they would like to give back and do that for others. Or –
- When they were struggling at some point in their career/life, there was no one around to be a Mentor for them. Now, they would like to become a Mentor so they can help others learn from their experience, avoid similar mistakes, and accelerate the learning process.
Other reasons might include: development of leadership capability, growth of coaching skills, or as part of an established knowledge transfer process. Whatever the reason, a Mentor should have a passion for helping others as well as the commitment to build and sustain a healthy mentoring relationship.
Capitalize on ExperienceDecember 7, 2009
There are times when an individual would like to explore new or different ideas, resolve a problem, or solicit career advice from someone more experienced. In his feature for CNN titled, "Learn from the Best: Work with a Mentor", Mike Tutton urges employees to seize the opportunity to learn from the professional experience of others within their organization. He reminds us that it's not just those on "The Apprentice" with Donald Trump who can benefit from experienced advice. Many organizations offer mentor programs that allow an employee to bond with an experienced mentor to generate new ideas, explore possible solutions for difficult problems, or build on existing competencies.
Due to economic pressures, some organizations have become so lean, that there is no longer anyone available to provide knowledge transfer or to offer professional advice. In those cases, the employee must become more creative, seeking mentors from outside the organization.
If you are searching for a mentor outside of your organization, first consider contacts within your personal network. Consider people you have met through outside organizations, meetings, or acquaintances. If you aren't able to locate a mentor that meets your needs through these means, put technology to work for you. Find a mentor through the use of social networks such as LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter. Resources such as these can provide you with access to experienced professionals from all over the world. Your mentor may only be a few key strokes away!
Finding Your Own MentorOctober 23, 2009
Where corporate mentoring programs do not exist, enterprising employees must seek out their own mentors. What if you happen to be one of those employees who does not have access to a company mentoring program than can match you to a mentor? How would you go about finding your own mentor? Here are some helpful steps to get you started.
First, conduct a self-assessment so you will know what you are looking for in a mentor. Examine your business and personal goals, along with your strengths and areas for development. Identify and prioritize where you would most like your mentor to provide help or support. Next, think about the people in your immediate and extended networks who would be able to meet your identified needs, based on their experience or expertise.
When approaching a potential mentor, describe exactly what you are looking for, i.e. knowledge transfer, insights, advice, etc. Be upfront regarding what you would like in terms of the mentor's time. (An example might be to meet for an hour lunch, once a month for the next six months.) Make it easy for your mentor to agree to help you. If your selected mentor is very busy with many other responsibilities, you will want to be considerate of that and keep your request within workable limits.
Most people really do want to mentor others – they just need you to ask!
Mentoring: The People ConnectionOctober 20, 2009
I must confess that I only use the "help" function in a computer program as a last resort. What do I do first? I ask my good friend, Pete. He is almost always able to answer my questions and to show me how to resolve issues quickly. If he doesn't know the answer, Pete can point me in the right direction so I can easily work it out on my own. It's that way for other people and with other kinds of problems too; they would rather go to another person, someone they trust, to ask those difficult questions or to explore options before taking action.
During these times of uncertainty, employees have an increased need to be connected to other people. As the economy changes, new business strategies emerge and jobs shift. People seek out others to gain new insights, participate in knowledge transfer, and expand their network. Company mentoring programs can provide a structured way for employees to make connections that benefit themselves and the business.

Las Vegas group kicks off 2018 with exclusive hike
As the ailing masses slept in Monday morning after their New Years' revelry, a group set out into the desert to greet 2018 in a place few get to see.
As the ailing masses slept in Monday morning after their New Year's revelry, a group set out into the desert to greet 2018 in a place few get to see.
At least those 85 people weren't too hungover for a New Year's Day hike.
Spring Mountain Ranch State Park interpretive ranger Joshua Yelle led the group on a guided, mostly off-trail hike in an area that is usually off-limits to the general public.
"We had to reward you guys for not getting too hungover," Yelle told the group.
The group of people and several dogs trekked through the desert, with Yelle peppering the nearly two-hour jaunt with tidbits about the environment, history and the prevalent plant that shares his name, the Joshua tree.
Because of the delicate desert environment, according to the "leave no trace" principle, it may be several years before hikers are permitted through that area of the park again, Yelle said.
Monday's hike was part of a nationwide initiative spearheaded by state parks to get people on a guided hike to kick off the new year. Almost 28,000 people hiked more than 66,000 miles on First Day Hikes last year, according to the American Hiking Society.
Stephen Magas hasn't been on a First Day Hike in years, since his daughter was young. But he decided on Sunday to take his 7-year-old grandson, Ayden Grinker, on the hike. Magas likes to encourage his grandson with activities outdoors — and without some sort of technological device — he said.
Getting to see a spot people usually don't was worth the price of admission for Scott Malsom.
"I definitely learned more with the guide," Malsom said. "It made us feel very special."

Geneva Motor Show 2011: Beauty, Brawn and the Bizarre
By: Keith Barry
Article Source: http://www.wired.com/autopia/2011/03/geneva-motor-show/?pid=745&viewall=true
From the sublime to the bizarre, no other auto show thrills like Geneva. Under no other roof but that of the Geneva Palexpo could you find an electric Rolls Royce, an Indian microcar and an outlandish French concept. And that's not even mentioning the most exotic supercars, built in countries we didn't even know had automobile industries.
With the knowledge that variety, and horsepower, is the spice of life, we bring you the concepts and cars that caught our eye at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show.
BMW Vision ConnectedDrive
Any news from BMW is big news, especially a concept that showcases a new design language. However, the folks in Munich sent over the Vision ConnectedDrive to highlight function, not form.
While its sumptuous silhouette and roll-down Z1-style doors are certainly lust-worthy, we'd also love to have its 3-D augmented heads-up display that can be customized to show the driver anything from a clear windshield to architectural information about nearby buildings.
Abarth Scorp-Ion
What a difference a dash makes. The Abarth Scorpione 1300 was a tiny, rear-wheel drive racer that got about 8 mpg and did 0-62 in 12 seconds. The Scorp-Ion, however, is an all-electric, lithium-ion (get it?) battery-powered design study from Turin's Istituto Europeo di Design that puts electric motors at each wheel. We'd like both, please.
Alfa Romeo 4C
Please excuse our behavior when the 4C hits the showroom floor at our local Chrysler dealership, because we'll be squealing like tweens at a Justin Bieber concert. For us, the long-rumored return of Alfa has been like the promise of a Verizon iPhone, and it looks like it actually might be happening this time.
Sure, it'll start out at $60k, but it'll be here, carving up the 101, valeted outside Manhattan hot spots and drooled over from sea to shining sea.
Alpina BMW B5 BiTurbo
It's the consummate Q-ship, the sublime sleeper, the überwagon. Alpina worked their Bavarian black magic on a 5-series wagon to give it 500 horsepower out of a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8. Amazingly, the bodywork and 20-inch rims look downright classy.
We'd love to get groceries in this monster, but we're pretty sure they'd all end up pasted to the rear windshield.
Audi A3 Concept
Another score from Audi. Not only does the A3 look good as a sedan, but its stats are just as breathtaking: 408 hp from a direct injection, 2.5-liter, 5-cylinder engine mated to a seven-speed S Tronic transmission. The aluminum and carbon-fiber 20-inch wheels might reduce unsprung weight, but we're pretty sure they won't end up as standard equipment on a production vehicle.
Citroën Metropolis
Designed for the French pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, the Metropolis luxo-barge plug-in hybrid has silently sailed into Geneva. Still no word on if it's been given the green light for production, but if it does it'll certainly give the Panamera a run for its money, and become a worthy successor to the incomparable DS.
Sbarro Evoluzione
No, we didn't pull a photo of a Gallardo off wreckedexotics.com — that's how it's supposed to look. The Evoluzione is actually the creation of students of Swiss designer Franco Sbarro, who is best known as the inventor of the hubless wheel. We'd like to say the car is a beast if not a beauty, but unfortunately there's only a 1.8-liter Audi four-cylinder engine in the Evoluzione's bedsore of a rear end.
Mansory 458 Italia Siracusa
We'll never forgive them for what they did to a Mercedes SLS, and the Dodge Challenger paint job isn't quite our cup of tea, but at least the tuners at Mansory squeezed another 30 horsepower out of, and shaved off 150 pounds off, a stock 458 Italia.
Nissan Esflow concept
Unfortunately for Nissan, the Esflow debuted online a few weeks before its big unveil in Geneva. That doesn't change the facts: It's a mid-engine, rear-drive EV with a nearly 150-mile range that can do 0-62 in under 5 seconds. If Nissan decides to build the Esflow, it could be the new Z for the Leaf generation.
Pagani Huayra
If they still make coffee-table books of supercars, this one will be on the cover. Replacing the Pagani Zonda, the ultra-exotic Huayra is so exclusive, you have to put down a $100,000 deposit just to learn how the model name is pronounced.
Aside from the fact the car might be sold in the United States, the rest of the news is just math: 700 horsepower + 12-cylinder twin-turbo engine built by AMG + 0-62 time of 3.3 seconds = around $1.6 million.
Renault Captur
If you can imagine the styling of the Nissan Juke getting any more, er, "unique," you'll have a Renault Captur. Apparently, Renault still has enough money to hint at future models with outré concepts, and they've done so with the Captur. Beneath that rugged exterior lie seats made of fluorescent orange rubber bands and similarly colored luminescent dashboard panels.
Rolls-Royce 102EX
A Rolls-Royce is supposed to be silent and powerful, right? It makes sense that it would be electrified. Still, a company as staid (and low-volume) as Rolls would go about the process quite conservatively. Hence, the 102EX is a one-off concept meant to judge customer interest and ensure that it delivers an "authentic Rolls-Royce experience," according to CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös.
SEAT iBX
While we'll never see one in the United States, SEAT's iBX previews the design direction that the entire brand — a Volkswagen Group subsidiary — will take in the coming years. The two-door crossover is also a range-extended plug-in EV with about a 28-mile electric-only range.
Tata Pixel
The Pixel is a city car in every sense of the world. Tata claims that it comfortably fits four adults in a package that's only 10 feet long — jut a little bigger than a Smart ForTwo — and gets over 60 mpg with start-stop technology and regenerative braking. The doors open upward, Lambo style, to make exiting the vehicle a snap even in the tightest parking spaces. Most interestingly, however, are the rear wheels that can turn in opposing directions, allowing the vehicle to "pivot" and parallel park effortlessly.
Toyota FT-86 II
This Toyota-Subaru creation is the latest iteration of the rear-wheel-drive sports car that Toyota has been promising us for years, looking a little more production-ready than the previous FT-86 concept we saw. We'd love it if they called it a Supra.
Volkswagen Golf R
Volkswagen debuted new colors and interior stylings for the Golf R hot hatch, which is already on sale in Europe but debuts as a 2012 model in the United States. Perhaps the new colors of "Oryx White," "Carbon Steel Grey," "Space Grey" and "Aplomb Blue" (shown above) will make it stateside as well. Interiors of the show cars feature Nappa leather.

An interesting discussion I just had with one of my clients. You see he rang me to ask a question about a seminar happening on copywriting this Saturday.
When he called the number on my mobile showed 'withheld' which means he had blocked his phone number from being seen. Or in other words he didn't wish to reveal the phone number he was calling from. He left a message on my voice mail and when I returned his call I asked why he does that. i.e. block his number.
His answer was sound and reasonable in so much he doesn't wish people to ring his business or him with unnecessary or unsavory calls.
"Hmm", I replied, "I don't answer any blocked calls anymore because if the person doesn't wish to reveal themselves I am happy for them to leave a message and I will reply in my time.
Both of us are right because it our business we are looking after and protecting.
What do you do when a phone number is blocked? Do you answer it or cancel the call?
Leave me a post and let me know.
Cheers and Great Selling

The Patriots will have a few extra fans cheering them on in Dallas this week. Well, they'll at least be cheering for running back, Rex Burkhead.
On Tuesday morning students and teachers at Jackson Elementary School in Plano, Texas, surprised Robyn Burkhead, Rex's mom, with a Super Bowl sendoff of her own.
The fifth grade teacher will head to Atlanta to cheer on her son and her students and fellow teachers wanted her to know they were thinking of her and her family. Many of them have met Rex over the past few years and their personal connection to him is the only way these Cowboys fans would cheer on the Patriots.
"It's so funny because you have a lot of like 'I don't really want the Patriots to win, but I want Rex to win,'" said Rachel Goldsticker, Robyn's co-worker who organized the effort. "So they were just excited to do something fun and support Rex."
To get the students involved, Rachel and her fellow teachers gave them time before the end of the school day to flex their creative muscles. Some of the kids took their artwork home to make sure they had the best posters to share with Robyn.
"She was excited. Especially some of the best ones, the most detailed ones are made by kids who you don't think would produce that kind of quality," Rachel said. "It kind of shows you know, that they put heart into it and what-not. So that was really exciting for her to see."
Rex, who went to schools in the Plano Independent School District, regularly gives back to the community, and for them to return those good feelings by decorating Robyn's door and cheering Rex on means the world to the Burkhead family.
"I think it's fantastic," Robyn said. "It just feels good to know that you have the love and support of the people that are around you. Even though we are right here in Cowboys country, they all are very supportive of Rex and of our family. So it means a lot."
As she readies herself for the big game on Sunday she leaves Plano knowing that her community is backing her son.

A strike by junior doctors planned for Tuesday 1 December was called off at the last minute when the British Medical Association (BMA), NHS bosses and Department for Health ministers came to an agreement at the end of talks.
New contracts for junior doctors will not now be imposed and negotiations will be reopened. Crucially, the danger of the BMA needing to reballot if new negotiations are not satisfactory has been averted.
Lancashire County Council is on the verge of making sweeping cuts.
The cuts include over 2,500 job losses (compulsory and voluntary). Around 40 of the 75 libraries in Lancashire will close, as will 5 out of the 10 council run museums, all subsidised bus routes, and numerous other front line services will be cut.
London's annual radical feminist-led demonstration against sexual and domestic violence, Reclaim the Night, which took place in London on 28 November, is under fire for its sex worker-exclusive approach to feminism.
Reclaim the Night have a long history of making sex workers who continue to work in the industry and sex worker blocs very unwelcome. This year, the coalition which organised London RTN publicly condemned Amnesty International's decision to support the full decriminalisation of all aspects of prostitution.
In the age old tale of good versus evil, the final instalment of The Hunger Games trilogy (Mockingjay, part two) doesn't disappoint. This story is rife with revolution and revolt, power returning to the previously powerless, the oppressed rising up against their cruel oppressors, and the uniting and restorative power of hope.
These are familiar tales and themes from our history books, our fairy tales, from our current events. What distinguishes this film and makes it so damn compelling is the representation of the uprising.
Someone (possibly Stalin) once said "When one man dies, it's a tragedy. When a million die, it's a statistic." But, to Professor Sir Michael Marmot, a million deaths is not just a statistic.
A million people have died prematurely in just the last five years in Britain, according to the renowned epidemiologist Michael Marmot, author of The Health Gap, who has spent a lifetime trying to counteract such cynicism. For him, the deaths of millions worldwide from same cause, inequality, are millions of tragedies which could and should be prevented.
Marc Mulholland is a historian working at Oxford University, and the author of books including "Northern Ireland: A Very Short Introduction". He spoke at the Workers' Liberty 2015 summer school, Ideas For Freedom, on the history of the far left in Northern Ireland.
Trotskyism in the early 1960s in Northern Ireland is interesting and unusual, in that it was most prominent amongst the Protestant working-class.
For the past three months, the very word "reselection" has been unmentionable in Labour left circles, for fear that even talking about it would represent an unwarranted provocation of the Labour right.
But as recent events clearly underline, it's time to break the taboo. At the very least, Corbyn supporters now have to — how can I put this gently? — engage in measured debate on how we approach the next round of trigger ballots for sitting MPs.
Jeremy famously won't push the nuke button, but do we want to drop the D-bomb? And if we do, how should we best go about it?
This is a regular guest column by Eric Lee of LabourStart.
There can be little doubt that the murderous ideology of Islamic State is a form of fascism. In discussing how the left should react to it, it is therefore necessary to return to our sources, to learn how earlier generations of socialists understood — and fought — fascism.
Since the last issue of Solidarity, there have been a number of successes for the campaign to stop the witch-hunt against the left in the Labour Party.
Andrew Fisher, Jeremy Corbyn's chief policy adviser, has been reinstated to membership after a month of suspension. Two socialists expelled from the Labour Party, Liam Cooper in Lambeth and Gerry Downing in Brent, have been reinstated follow appeals and protests locally.

...I waited Until way too late in the evening to start my big baking project! But, 7 1/2 dozen chocolate chip cookies later, I will now have a very happy 13 year old in the morning, because it's my second son's birthday and that is his class treat. Also, I finished reading Harry Potter and The PrisoNer Of Azkaban while I waited for cookies to bake and cool.
He asked for an apple pie instead of a cake for his birthday, and I may just fudge and get a store bought one because time and sleep and little things like that. And he wants pizza for dinner, so I will have to make gf/df pizzas for the little guys so they aren't left out.
So. Off to bed with me. Hopefully, off to sleep. For at least 3 whole hours. Why do I do these things to myself again? Lol.

I awoke to bright sunlight and birds singing their early morning song. Everyone still sleeping, I started the dishes when it occurred to me. My baby is 18 today. I am no longer legally responsible for any children. Some might consider me a free woman, I am unsure how I feel.
How these feelings snuck up on me I don't know. It isn't like Bear hasn't mentioned to me once a day for the last six months about how she was going to graduate this year and then 16 days later turn 18. But when I heard her all I could think about was planning a graduation and birthday party that was special on such a limited budget. About how I really needed a job. About the million other life things that distracted me the last six months. So I was shocked this morning when it all hit me. I don't have an empty nest yet, but I could. How surreal it all seems.
I had a perfect plan for my motherhood. I would have three children, all about 2 years apart. That was the timing of me and my siblings and it seemed just right. We were close enough in age to get along well, but far apart enough that we could be unique individuals. Nannygoat and MacD arrived at their pre-approved times. My third child, however, did not. An early term miscarriage ruined my precise plan. After that it took some time before I conceived again. By the time Bear was born, my oldest was 7 and the (now) middle child was 2 months shy of 5.
My pregnancy with Bear was unlike both of my previous pregnancies. With Nannygoat my experience of morning sickness was I once threw up after breakfast. No warning, no nausea and afterward I was fine. With both my first two pregnancies I glowed, felt healthier than ever and I adored being pregnant. From the moment Bear was conceived I was nauseated. Not just in the morning, but 24/7. I couldn't eat. I gagged at the smell of food. And my stomach burned like the surface of the sun constantly. I lost weight. I was exhausted all the time. This lasted the entire pregnancy. At around 30 weeks I went into preterm labor and was put on bed rest. I loved my baby-to-be, but I despised that pregnancy.
My two older kids adored their baby sister from the moment she was born. Unlike between the two of them, there was no sibling rivalry with her. They would fight over who could have her sleep in their room when she had night terrors. I would make it a contest. Whoever cleaned their room first, got her for the night. She was their reward. They waited on her hand and foot. The only jealousy during her childhood was mine. I often mussed that I never got to see my baby, because they wouldn't share her with me.
She had that effect on everyone. She is simply captivating. I have heard it said that it impossible not to like Bear. When she enters a room, everyone lights up. Always full of energy, she crossed every room with a series of cartwheels and round offs. She traveled on her hands nearly as much as her feet. People were drawn to her. Watching her at a Brownie or school event was like watching a seasoned politician. She knew everyone's name, greeted them all and never played favorites. She could work a room (at 6 or 7 years old!!), shaking hands, reminding me of parents names and introducing me to "Mr. This or Mrs. That" when I didn't know them. She was popular, but would go a grab a kid that didn't appear to fit into whatever click she was standing with at that moment and draw them into it. And it worked.
Everyone calls her a "princess" and she is. Our princess. She didn't talk much until she was nearly 2 or 3. She had a series of noises and points that even I couldn't decipher, but which Nanny and MacD knew immediately what she meant. She probably could have talked, but why bother? I, however, have always referred to her as my little pixie. It seems to me she has magic dust that surrounds her. In spite of nearly drying from a misdiagnosed appendix rupture at 3, being badly mauled by a dog at 18 months , being run over by a car, and being sick with undiagnosed reflux for 5 years; she doesn't remember those events as traumatic. While some kids can list a litany of things their parents did to wrong them in their life; Bear only remembers all the good times and the wonderful things her parents and siblings did for her. And talk about forgiving? Whenever I see a malamute I have flashbacks of seeing her head in one's mouth while it shook her like a rag doll, I could never own one. But Bear? It's her life long dream to own a malamute (after she moves out, so I don't die of PTSD).
While there was always some degree of protectiveness for Nanny with MacD and vice versa, it was nothing compared to the fierceness of the protection they felt for her. She belongs to them, and no one should ever dare to harm her: physically or emotionally. Those who tried are probably still smarting from the retribution those two could deliver. For this reason, Bear is a bit more naive than my other two kids. Having such a gentle and loving soul, I worry about her sometimes. But she is also strong and has an amazing ability to overcome adversity.
Now it's not always easy living with a princess. While she can be nurturing, empathic, sweet, loving and oh so joyous; our princess can also sometimes be impatient, stubborn, and demanding. The magic is this: when she is like that her aura of light and goodness still shines so bright, that we can never hold it against her. Her soul glows with an ancient spirit that knows all and loves all. Her compassion for all things is daunting and she is so passionate about life, you can't help but be drawn in. She knits our little family together and is often, without knowing it, the backbone that holds us all together. She is powerful but sweet, strong but soft, naive but wise; a calming presence that inspires me to be a better person every day.
I was blessed with a third child, my pixie, and my children were blessed with their very own real life princess that they got to keep. And it just doesn't get any better than that. No matter what age she is.
Happy Birthday Bear. You are a wonderful gift from God and I thank him everyday for your presence in our lives.

Vi var 7 voksne og en to-åring som koste oss i dette flotte huset i en uke. Huset var kjempeflott, stort og rommelig, godt utstyrt med det meste. Hagen og bassenget var også veldig fint, og det er mange fine badeviker i nærheten. Javea er en koselig by som er verdt er besøk. Kontakten med eier fungerte utmerket, og vi fikk en detaljert rutebeskrivelse for å finne huset. Her vil vi tilbake! Vi var veldig spent på forhånd om huset var like fint som på bildene, men det var enda bedre!

The villa was perfect for our needs. A great peaceful location but only a short drive to local amenities. It was very well equipped and provided lots of space both in and outdoors with a beautiful spacious garden - great for our 15month toddler to run around in. The sea front in Javea had lots of lovely shops/restaurants with a very family friendly vibe. We would certainly consider coming back.

This property is one of the best self-catering establishments that we have encountered. The villa is situated in a very quiet location, away from main roads and other sources of disturbance. The kitchen is fitted with modern appliances and supplied with more than enough utensils, pots and pans and cutlery for any family party. The living and sleeping accommodation and bathrooms are also fitted out with the highest quality fittings, with super quality towels and bedding. Outside there is a good sized pool and an extensive garden, all of which appears to have been maintained to an equally high standard. Gabi met us on arrival and guided us around the features of the property and was always available if necessary. She immediately put us at our ease and was the perfect hostess - a great start to our stay.

We have just returned from a two week thumbs up stay at the fabulous Vince la Vella. We were there with two families, four adults and three children ranging from ten to 19. From the first point of contact this villa booking was looked after by the five-star Gabi who left no stone unturned to make our stay as fabulous as possible for us all. From the offer to do a shop for us before our arrival to the warm welcome she gave us when we got there. Through out our stay any queries we had were answered without delay, nothing seemed too much trouble. So, onto the villa. This is a beautifully restored 400-year-old finca set a mature lush garden. Let the 400 years not deceive you as it has been superbly restored and would match any new modern building yet keeping the fantastic unique features of the past intact with no expense spared. A well designed modern kitchen with the best of equipment and the very best utensils I have ever had in all the rentals we have ever stayed in……we did contemplate stealing the cherry de-stoner but thought better of it in the end and left it for the next lucky occupier. In addition, there was probably enough crockery to serve a full football team! The house is airy with plenty of comfortable and tastefully designed multiple sitting rooms and dinning areas both inside and out. From various points around the property you have sea views, the best of which is from the upstairs main bedroom straight onto Point San Vincente. The beds and bedlinen were of the highest standard, so no one fears anyone might wake up to a bad night sleep. The pool area has more than enough sun loungers and umbrellas and one of the two outdoor seating areas has sizeable electric barbeque for all your all fresco dining needs. The property is in a quiet residential area of Javea within easy reach of Consum (big supermarket) and a smaller one with longer opening hours. It is close the Arenal (main beach) with its safe white sandy shore, crystal blue water. Here they offer full facilities from beach beds and brollies, lifeguards and water sports to full shopping and restaurants. We have been coming to Javea numerous years and every time we discover new things. There are magnificent walks of varied lengths and strengths all very well marked – from smaller coastal strolls to the more strenuous Monto all will reward you with the most magnificent views. Check out Granadella, Cala Barrace, Cap Prim and the old mills - each are breath taking. We also recommend the old harbour area and the old town centre and even though I HATE jet skis, I had the best afternoon going on a coastal excursion on one. Thanks to the wonderful Gabi this year for making our stay at FInca al Vella and our 2018 Javea trip yet another wonderfully memorable one. Till next time.
