Photo Gallery and Blog 2008
Mountain Bluebird
It's mid June, so it's time to take bluebird photos. I already have boatloads of bluebird photos but it just seems like the thing to do. I returned to that one particularly photogenic nest hole I found last year and sure enough it was active. I did manage to get a few shots of the birds. Usually they were too busy to stop and pose at the doorway.
Badger Family
After doing bluebirds at dawn, it was mid-morning by now so I was just out wandering around in the woods, prospecting for bird holes. Suddenly there was some motion on the ground. It turned out to be some badgers in a den hole. I came back that afternoon with my camera. At first nothing was happening. Pretty soon, two cubs came waddling up the hill to the den hole. There were three cubs and one adult there. Periodically they would come out and walk around among the grass a bit, which is darn hard to photograph. One time all three lined up, peering out over the dirt mound. I thought they were kinda cute. I probably would have a different opinion if I were a ground squirrel. After an hour or so, all three cubs came out of the hole and walked across the meadow, single file, and never came back. I have read that badgers don't bother returning to a den hole each night--they just dig a new one wherever they are. That was true here--I checked the next morning and it was abandoned.
Bull Elk
The elk rut happened in mid September as always. I found this big bull in Horseshoe Park, late on a gloomy afternoon. He was busy with his harem, hiding in and out of the aspen grove. He was pretty far away so I was using my big honking 800mm lens. The funny part is that while I was intently watching this distant bull through my viewfinder, a smaller bull had silently tip-toed up quite close to me. I was quite surprised to look up and see an elk that close. Even a small bull is a big critter.
On another day, this bull was quite intent on showing off for his ladies, who couldn't care less.
I have often looked at this little hill directly south of the Moraine Park campground and wished the elk would be up on that hill. They would be front-lit and have a dramatic background, which would be a tremendous improvement over the typical back-lighting and boring brown grass background. Well a miracle occured, actually two miracles occured. One miracle is the elk went up on the hill, and the other miracle was that I was there at that time. One group of elk was up on the hill, crossed the road and came down to the dull brown meadow. Then this second bull came over the hill, took a few more steps, and let out a huge bugle on the crest of the hill. I could barely hear him over the clatter of shutters.

A day, in the life of....
a homeschooler.. or week or month. What does your homeschool schedule look like?
Re: A day, in the life of....
I wake up at 9 am cook breakfast send DH to work
8-11 Miguel wakes up
He does 2 pages of writing and spelling 'independently"
Then 2 pages of math together
Rest of the day is free time
8 pm DH reads SS and science to Miguel
9 pm he reads to 10 pm
we have 1-2 activities a week that replace that schedule. Next year we'll have 2-3 activities a week that interrupted our normal schedule along with scouts, and YMCA stuff.
Re: A day, in the life of....
Ars Erudio Academy
7- DH and I get up to make coffee
7:30 ish the wee ones get up
8-Daddy is off to work and breakfast time for us
9-school starts with math, then grammar, writing and last history or Science depending on the day
11- lunch, then free time/nap time
This is all with the exception of Wed. during the school year when we have Co-op.
Now the afternoons are fun.....
Monday is Cub Scouts 7 and Tee Ball 5:30 (different kids)
Tues is Piano 3 and Karate 5
Wed is Co-op until 2:30, then Karate at 5
Thurs is Tee Ball at 5:30
Friday is Tee Ball at 5:30
Of course the sport changes seasonly and usually the sport played allows for practice on the same day. They teams were so full for tee ball I had to break them up this time though. Next year we may be dropping Karate and adding gymnastics in its place.
Re: A day, in the life of....
The only things that are consistent are wake up times (7am for me 8:30am for the boys), meal times, reading every afternoon (2pm), and bedtime (9pm). Everything else is scattered in between those. It's very loosey goosey :D
Every other Thursday they have Lego Club. Third Fridays of the month we have Homeschool group meetings. Plus other field trips/outings that are scheduled for each month.
Re: A day, in the life of....
Tree House Academy: Fall/Spring Schedule
We are way relaxed, but way busy.
On a "typical day" (with no activities scheduled), we get up whenever - at least by 9:30. The kids have breakfast while I check the boards, check e-mails, etc.
10ish am, Bryce comes to start school. We do math first - drill and flashcards, go over the lesson and then he gets to work. He sorts his work as to what he can do by himself and what he will need me for, and then gets to work on all that he can do by himself after math.
Meanwhile, Scotty comes in and we do school together. His subjects vary by day and I have the schedule in front of me that we follow. Bryce has his schedule that he follows pretty independently.
When Scotty finishes school (about 1-2 hours), Bryce is usually to a point where he needs my help...so we do that together. Bryce normally finishes school around 12 or 1 and the rest of the day is free for activities, extras, free play, etc.
Through the school year, our schedule is NUTS. With soccer or basketball that runs most of the school year (practicies and games), co-op classes from 12:30-3:30 on Thursdays, Geography classes on Tuesday evenings, "story hour for Scotty on Fridays, playdates with a friend on Mon or Tues, and then anything else that might come up...like my trips to the post office or our trips to the library, then church on Wednesday night.
Through the summer, Co-op stops, as do sports (we pick soccer back up at the end of summer). However, we do start 4-H (Bryce has a Lego class and a Civil War class) and do it through summer. This year, we are also gardening and raising chickens. :)
SUMMER Schedule:
Currently, Bryce is finishing his two weekd of school (May 15th is his last day of this school year - our 180 days for him). Scotty finished last Friday with "Kindergarten." So...for summer, the kids will do two subjects a day - everyday. We are doing Phonics, Language Arts, Math, Reading, and handwriting. Bryce's schedule varies a bit from Scotty's:
Monday: Math, Pentime
Tuesday: Language Arts, Explode the Code
Wednesday: Writing with Ease (Days 1 & 2), Math
Thursday: Language Arts, Pentime
Friday: Writing with Ease (Days 3 & 4), Explode the Code
Scotty: (he has to finish LLATL Blue...then he will just have 2 subjects a day as well)
Monday: LLATL Blue, Math, Cursive
Tuesday: LLATL Blue, LA, ETC Book 3 (2-4 pgs)
Wednesday: LLATL Blue, Phonics, Math
Thursday: LLATL Blue, LA, Cursive
Friday: LLATL Blue, Phonics, ETC Online
Both kids read at night before bed. Other than this, our summer days are free. And, of course, when Bryce is with his dad or at camp or something, we don't have school work. Just when they are home and really just to keep them "fresh."
For FUN, I bought CLE's music and art programs to do this summer as well. I plan to do it together with the kids and make it more of a "hey...lets learn about THIS" kind of thing than school work. We will see how that goes!
~Whew! That was probably way more info than you wanted. LOL
Re: A day, in the life of....
Kids get up at 8 and do chores and eat breakfast and what not. We start school around 9 or 9:30. We eat lunch around 11 or 11:30. We finish school between 2 and 3.
Re: A day, in the life of....
ours varies day by day depending on appointments and whatnot.
usually I get up at 8 AM and have 30 minutes for "me" doing whatever needs to be done before the kids get up.
David gets up at 8:30, makes his bed, gets dressed, and has breakfast. He does his chores. Melanie gets up at 9.
By 9:30 David is done with chores and Melanie is dressed and eating. We start David's math and he usually tells me "mommy, I can do this myself". once math is done we start language arts and phonics together. Melanie likes to join in for this. After this we break for morning snack. Melanie likes to help make snacks and David likes to play with Joey during this time. After snack Joey takes his nap and David and me do either science or history. I leave music and art up to him. by the time we finish history or science its time for lunch and David helps make lunch.
However on Wednesdays we go to clinic labs (this is changing though) so David does what he can and wants to do while I am at labs and Daddy is home and we do the rest when I get home. Starting in 2 weeks though I will draw labs myself and just drop them off up the street from us, so we'll be more "normal". Some thursdays we have to take lessons with us to Joey's chemo appointment. And this monday we are going to turn Disneyland into a field trip (we've found a way to make it "educational")
Re: A day, in the life of....
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who takes a relaxed approach:)
I get up with dh at 5:00 am and make his lunch and breakfast, then I go back to bed by 6:00. It would be great and I'd get so much more done if I could just stay up, but then I'm dead to the world by 2:00, and I just can't get myself to get used to this schedule.
So, I'm back up by 8:00 or so with dd usually right behind me. Breakfast, animal chores (mostly for me, but dd sometimes helps), school by at least 10:00, but usually a little sooner. We do school off and on through-out the day ending by no later than 5:00. I let her have plenty of time to go outside or just play in general through-out the day so she is going between playing and schoolwork (I use her playtime to get house work done). She does better with this than trying to get it all done and then being free for the afternoon, which I would like better, but this is working for us for now.
We try to get her in bed by 9:00, but sometimes it is closer to 10:00 and we try to be in bed by 11:00.
Re: A day, in the life of....
We get up, do breakfast and morning jobs for the kids anywhere between 8-9. Then we start school. The schedule changes every day:
Monday - Bible, math, writing/penmanship, piano lesson
Tuesday - reading, Science
Wednesday - Bible, math, storytime
Thursday - reading, journal, Explode the Code
Friday - Bible, Explode the Code, art/project
This usually takes us about an hour or hour and a half. By then it is soon time for making lunch. In the afternoons, there is free playtime, outside time, we read aloud together, snack time, little ones nap, etc. Then supper and the evening. We have no outside commitments currently and I like it that way.
Re: A day, in the life of....
well I am ashamed to say we've not gotten back to much structure since vacation..with all the stuff that we've dealt with since we got back..it just hasn't happened.
BUT this is or normal routine.
I am up at 6am to get Noah up,fed and off to school.
We ones are now up sometimes between 8-9. I typically like to get seatwork out of the way.. BUT well..that dones't always happen before we head outside..or to activities..we sometimes do night school ( after 7pm).
On a good day though lessons are done by11am..then we are outside or on nature walks or whatever.

Mon~acrobatics for Declan at 3:45
Tuesday~Karate for Noah at 6:15
Wednesday swim for Ziah and Declan at 4pm

It might be too early to call it a trend, but there are signs of a possible resurgence in Southern California horse racing. Just two months after 61,114 showed up for the final day of the Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita, a post-Christmas crowd of 40,810 came out for opening day of the winter meeting on Friday at the Arcadia track.
Lured by near-perfect weather, with the picturesque backdrop of the San Gabriel Mountains in the distance, fans waited until the eighth race to unleash their biggest roar for Shared Belief, the 3-year-old gelding who went off as the 1-2 favorite in the Grade I $301,000 Malibu Stakes and didn't disappoint.
Jockey Mike Smith asked Shared Belief to turn on his closing kick and gamely held off 70-1 Conquest Two Step to win by a neck. Chitu finished third.
There was no controversy and no rough start in the seven-furlong race unlike the last time Shared Belief raced at Santa Anita, when Bayern bumped him out of the gate during the $5-million Breeders' Cup Classic on Nov. 1 and survived an inquiry to win. Shared Belief finished fourth.
"We put all that behind us," trainer Jerry Hollendorfer said. "There's nothing we could do about what happened, so we forget about it and just remember that he's a good horse and we came back and won, so I feel like he really justified himself today."
It was the eighth win in nine outings and sixth stakes victory for Shared Belief, who ends 2014 as one of the top horses in the world. His connections will put together a racing plan for 2015, and it's almost certain there could be a racing rematch among Shared Belief, Bayern and the favorite to win horse of the year, California Chrome. That competition has helped energize racing fans in Southern California.
Hollendorfer also won the Grade I $301,000 La Brea Stakes with Sam's Sister, ridden by Elvis Trujillo. And jockey Tyler Baze rode Alert Bay to a neck victory in the Grade II $201,250 Mathis Brothers Mile.
Trainer Phil D'Amato, in his first year with his own stable, had a day to remember. He won back-to-back races, including his promising 2-year-old, Micks Miracle, who cruised to victory in a 6 1/2-furlong maiden race.
"I had a great day," D'Amato said. "That 2-year-old is a very nice horse. I knew he had something special about him the first time I breezed him. Who knows how far we'll go with him. I remember as a little runt coming with my grandparents to Santa Anita. To win two races on opening day with a bunch of new owners, I couldn't be happier."

It considered the problems of gang formation and jihad behavior among young Somali immigrants. The centerpiece was the testimony of the St. Paul Police Chief to Congress, where he enthused over his excellent outreach to at-risk diverse youth, noting, "Our Police Athletic League has over 300 Somali American youth participants who compete in soccer, flag football, softball and volleyball games that are organized, coached and refereed by Saint Paul Police Officers."

How to Make Petits Fours Christmas Presents
- 1In a large bowl, beat eggs and egg yolks until slightly thickened. Gradually add sugar, beating until thick and lemon-colored. Combine flour and baking powder; gradually add to egg mixture with milk and butter, beating well after each addition. (Batter will be thick).
Spread evenly into a greased and floured 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely. Cut a thin slice off each side of cake. Cut cake into 1-1/4-in. squares. Freeze cakes.
In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, water and cream of tartar. Bring to a boil, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 226°. Cool to 100°; beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth.
Keeping glaze warm, dip cake squares into glaze with a two-tine fork, allowing excess to drip off. Place on wire racks over waxed paper. Add hot water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if glaze becomes too thick. Let dry completely. Decorate with frosting and sprinkles. Yield: 70 petit fours.

I have a confession… TED Talks and podcasts have become an obsession of mine. I listen to them getting ready, in the car, cooking, and even falling asleep. Safe to say they are taking over my life. Listening to these inspiring people has opened my eyes and really made me think! And I felt like it is only fair for me to share these amazing TED Talks with you, with a hope that they will inspire you! So here are 10 powerful TED Talks to boost your confidence.
4 Powerful TED Talks to Boost Your Confidence
The Skill Set of Self Confidence Dr. Ivan Joseph
Dear athletes and non athletes this coach is a must watch! Confidence, persistence, and responsibility are what he looks for and teaches. He builds confidence by complimenting the good things his athletes, students, and kids are doing and not nagging on the bad.
I'm just going to give you some brutal honesty right now. Almost every pro athlete has one thing in common….From a young age being an athlete became their goal and not matter how many people laughed when they told them that they were going to be a pro they had enough confidence in themselves to work hard and stay dedicated. Confidence can make or break an athlete or a person.
Every football fan has heard of JJ Watt and his love of the game. If you want to read about a player who defeated the odds to become a great player read an article he wrote here. And if you have a young athlete who loves sports they should read that article. JJ Watt has mastered the skill set of confidence and persistence.
We know that our thoughts influence actions, why do we want to say that negative self-talk to ourselves? We need to get our own self-affirmations. Muhammad Ali, what was his self-affirmation? I am the greatest! Who else is going to tell you?
How to Stop Screwing Yourself – Mel Robbins
It is in our human nature to doubt ourselves. We tend to not think we are good enough to do something. Well I am here to tell you that your mind is wrong. You are good enough. Strong enough. And even CONFIDENT enough. You just need to push the self-doubt aside and have faith in yourself.
Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are – Amy Cuddy
Did you know that you can boost your confidence by changing your body language? Seriously! This blew my mind! Why didn't I know this during the cooking exams in culinary school or when I was job interviewing. Body language can determine so much for all of us. Peoples first impressions are almost always based on our body language and being able to become mentally aware of your body language could be a game changer for all of us.
Why Thinking Your Ugly Is Bad For You – Meghan Ramsey
Did you know that about 10,000 people a month Google the phrase, "Am I ugly?" I bet that most of them are young girls. We live in a connected world where the kids who shape the future are connected at all times and believe in the trends of the internet. No matter how fictional and abstract they are from reality.
We need to take responsibility in what were are commenting on and what we are saying on social media. And to my mothers who are reading this, please never ever call yourself fat in front of your daughter. They will remember it and begin look at themselves the same way.
Every individual effort matters to create change. It should never be okay to stop loving how we look.
I am not going to sit here and pretend like these talks will change your life, but I am saying they can move you in the right direction. Confidence is the first step to chasing your dreams. You must have confidence in yourself and your dreams in order to go after them with no regrets. So go on and go after what you want!
What makes you feel confident? Let me know in the comments below.
Mine is my sense of needing to grow. I am always looking to better myself and others.

text: My cousin and I are visiting Manhattan the weekend of February 18th. An aunt and two other cousins are coming into the city to have lunch with us on Saturday the 19th. They will meet us at our hotel, then we would like to go somewhere nearby(preferably walk) for a good lunch, someplace fairly quiet. I don't know about the rest of them, but the cousin I'm travelling with and I are definitely chowhounds. The folks we're visiting had mentioned Chinese at one point, but we're open to just about anything. The aunt is in her 70s and rest of us are all 30 something, in case that matters. Let me know if you think we would need to make a reservation. Price range around $20 per person?

The wooded trails are fun to walk, with several bridges over small waterfalls, lots of native plants and wildflowers, lovely views, and a small spring fed pond.

Rene Meulensteen: Ex-Manchester United coach rejects Fulham role
The 49-year-old phoned Cottagers chief executive Alistair Mackintosh on Monday agen judi bola terpercaya declined the opportunity to work as number two to Martin Jol. Meulensteen will instead seek to finalise negotiations with the Qatar FA as it steps up preparations ahead of hosting the World Cup in 2022. The Dutchman left United in the summer after a 12-year association with the club, where he worked with the youth agen judi bola terpercaya reserve teams before joining the first team set-up in 2007 agen judi bola terpercaya being appointed first-team coach in 2008. Having helped the Red Devils to three Premier League titles, two League Cups agen judi bola terpercaya a Champions League triumph, Meulensteen decided to follow Sir Alex Ferguson out of Old Trafford last summer after the Scot's retirement. He spent a short period as assistant manager of Anzhi Makhachkala and took over as head coach of the Russian side following Guus Hiddink's departure, only to lose his job after 16 days amid owner Suleiman Kerimov's sudden cost-cutting drive.
Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj not ready to decide where his international future lies according to Belgium manager Marc Wilmots
The Manchester United manager, David Moyes, disclosed he was aware of the Football Associations interest in the player, who burst into public consciousness with two superb goals to give his side a 2-1 victory at Sunderlagen judi bola terpercaya on Saturday. It would still be a huge step, regardless of the year he qualifies, to move towards using players who qualify for Englagen judi bola terpercaya through residency. Even Hodgson, on Match of the Day, seemed to temper the enthusiasm for Januzaj that is clearly there. The major concern for United is securing Januzajs signature on a new contract extending the one that expires at the end of the season. The memory of losing midfielder Paul Pogba to Juventus last year is fresh agen judi bola terpercaya, with influences around Januzaj potentially impeding the clubs endeavours to make him stay, retaining the player is a source of more anxiety than Moyes implied. Rooney, who also revealed he will be fit for agen bola terpercaya Englagen judi bola terpercayas World Cup double header with Montenegro agen judi bola terpercaya Polagen judi bola terpercaya, added to the intrigue by appearing to suggest he would like his United team-mate, who could also play for Belgium, Albania or Croatia, to join him on the international stage.
Wayne Rooney hopes Manchester United team-mate Adnan Januzaj will join him at Englagen judi bola terpercaya too
However, speaking ahead of his side's games against Croatia agen judi bola terpercaya Wales, Wilmots confirmed Januzaj does not want to choose at present. "Manchester United told me that Januzaj has not made a decision to play for a national team yet, not for any country," Wilmots told reporters. "We gave a clear signal [that we want him to play for Belgium] agen judi bola terpercaya now it's up to him. I will respect his choice." It is thought Januzaj wants to establish a senior club career for himself before making a final decision.

On Friday, following meetings with the Government Minister responsible for the company, I visited Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) with Newbury MP Richard Benyon to meet with the new CEO Iain Coucher.
It was a fascinating visit and I also got a chance to speak to the management on a range of issues including terms and conditions and pensions.
AWE is a lynch pin of our national defence and a major employer for the area and both myself and Richard are strong supporters of the organisation. It is a vital depository of atomic knowledge that keeps the UK at the cutting edge of the global science frontier.

RIHANNA has generously donated $US1.75 million ($1.7 million) dollars to a Barbados hospital just in time for Christmas.
The donation is in memory of the singer's grandmother, Gran Gran Dolly.
Rihanna broke the news of her grandmother's death in June on Twitter. She posted: "Goodbye #grangranDOLLY get your beauty rest until I see you."
Her grandmother's name was Clara "Dolly" Braithwaite.
The Barbados-born singer visited the hospital on Saturday with her mother, Monica Fenty, and Dolly's husband Lionel, E! News reports.
The 24-year-old's donation has paid for vital pieces of equipment and has led to the radiotherapy department at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Bridgetown to be renamed the Clara Braithwaite Centre for Oncology and Nuclear Medicine.
In a statement to E! News, Rihanna said: "This was my way of giving back to Barbados, in a form of philanthropy, by assisting the QEH in its continued modernisation program... I believe that this will have a huge impact on the people of Barbados. This was all done to save lives or at least extend them."
The Umbrella singer has a tattoo of her late grandmother's name across her chest which she got after Dolly lost her battle with cancer.

Trey Songz had a show last night in Detroit and it was running too long – which fans loves, but people running the show (and I'm assuming curfew laws) do not like. He was told if he didn't end his show by a certain time they would turn his mic off (it sounds like he was already past a first warning). So Trey told the crowd this…
**Warning Explicit language
So it's a little funny, and clearly he didn't think they would do it after he called them out but they did…and then he DID…
Besides literally dropping the mic, Trey then went on to destroy everything on the stage he could get his hands on.
Now chances are they would've have just kicked him out, but an officer was injured when they were trying to subdue him = lawsuit is more than likely on the way.
He was also arrested, and charged with resisting arrest and malicious destruction of property.
What a way to end the year Trey!

The St Mary's Wolf Pack returned to start their 2017 season at the Diocese Trials in Forbes on Tuesday March 14 at Red Bend College.
Both the boys' and girls' teams made the trip over to take on all the Catholic schools in the Western Diocese.
St Mary's sports coordinator Alistaire Thompson said all touch teams represented the school in the traditional way by putting in a huge positive effort and working hard as a team.
The girls' team had a very successful day finishing undefeated for the first time in their diocese history.
The wins over St Raphael's Cowra 5-1, Mackillop Bathurst 3-2, St Johns Dubbo 2-1, St Matthews Mudgee 3-2, La Salle Lithgow 3-1 powered the girls home.
Mr Thompson said the team again has a huge mixture of both primary and secondary students.
"All of the students are ready to run with the pack and that showed on the score board with many of the girls crossing the line with tries," he said.
Sophie Whiteman 4, Ella James 3, Claudia Whiteman, Bridgette Carney 3, Piper Kierle, Millie Mills, Airlie Mason, Demi Owens and Bonnie Sheridan crossing the line to score.
Mr Thompson said the boys' team also crossed for some great tries.
"Ethan Pratt scored 4, Ethan Styles 3, Jesse Mills 2, Harry O'Donnell and Sam McCarroll also scoring in their round of matches."
The day was to select the diocese teams to trial for the NSW CCC teams in Dubbo on May 24.
Sophie Whiteman, Ella James, Ethan Pratt and Sam McCarroll all made it into the possible and probable game.
Mr Thompson said the season has only just began.
"The girls traveled to Kinross over the weekend.
"Next both the boys' and girls' teams are taking on Molong Central in Wellington on Wednesday.
"This is only the beginning of another year for our teams," he said.
"We hope to build on each game as a team and move forward together as a positive group," he said.
Ella James and Sam McCarroll have been selected to represent the Bathurst Diocese.
"Both students played well and deserved to make it into the Diocese team, we were unlucky not to have more selected after being undefeated in the girls for the day.
"Ella and Sam worked hard all day and should be very proud of themselves as well as all their team mates for a big day in very humid conditions," Mr Thompson said.
Mr Thompson commended all the students who played throughout the day.

"I think people need to change the way they look at our food system and everything we consume," says Michael Puglisi, owner and head of Electric City Butcher in Santa Ana. "Our guests are not just coming in to buy a piece of meat. They're actually supporting a way of life—a rooted concept of how we originally came to eat and harvest these animals."
When customers walk into Puglisi's small, chilly shop, they see how food production should be. Puglisi's workers are constantly breaking down whole pigs or slabs of beef and grinding sausage into natural casing. The day's offerings are written on the window; a small freezer stocks everything from preserved yolks to heritage lard. There are no backrooms, no closed doors, no walls separating the public from the butchers. "We want people to see the entire operation and be comfortable with what they're buying," Puglisi says.

Prior to Electric City Butcher, the New York native spent years cooking and butchering everywhere from the Fontainebleau Resort in Miami to Thomas Keller's Bouchon Beverly Hills. But it was a visit to Puglisi's cousin and his wife in Sicily that inspired the butcher shop. "My cousin and his wife are the farmer and the butcher in a town of 4,500 people," he says. His cousin raises his own meats, processes them, then sells them to the community. "That really resonated with me after I came back to the States. I wanted to have a better source of quality meats for me and my family and replicate what I experienced in a very small, artisanal way."
Finding resources in California wasn't difficult because of the abundance of farmers, but establishing the necessary relationships proved difficult. "Everybody really has their guard up when you're talking about small farms and small processors and direct sourcing," Puglisi says. "They want to make sure you're keeping the integrity of their product and not bastardizing their hard work. It takes two years to raise a good cow—these farmers take a lot of pride in what they do and want to make sure that we're able to do the same."
Apart from the shop, Puglisi offers workshops that give hands-on overviews identifying different parts of the animal, the basics of breaking it down, and how to prepare your favorite cuts. But his most gratifying community outreach is working with MaxLove, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting families with kids fighting cancer through healing foods, whole-body wellness and integrative medicine. "When we met Audra [Wilford] from MaxLove and she told us the organization used bone broth for medicinal purposes, our connection was obvious," he says. The animals from Electric City Butcher are all natural, grass-fed, pasture-raised and everything the ketogenic diet requires. "We provide them all their broth for their broth bank and set up pop-ups with them, teaching bone broth classes," Puglisi explains. Electric City Butcher has even developed a mixed-bone broth recipe, a two-day process in which the bones are slowly simmered so all the connective tissue and nutritional properties emulsify into liquid—culinary medicine.

The Lawlors essentially held a second event for the cheque presentation held on Saturday 23rd November. This involved traditional music in The Wagon Wheel Pub in Knockanna, along with food and another raffle. There was once again a huge turn out to support this amazing family. The monies raised on this night were added to the overall amount. The Lawlor Family- Daniel Senior, Matt, Kathy and Tom have devoted a huge amount of their time and effort into their fundraising eforts for CRY.

we have answers!!!
I am so excited right now I could scream!!!! Abbey had another round of blood tests done last week and so far 2 out of the 3 came back abnormal!!I know I shouldn't be happy with abnormal tests, but...that means we finally have answers!!! So far by the looks of her lab work, she has a metabolic disorder, we're not sure which one yet, BUT she definitley has one!!! Basically what it comes down to is she will always be small, probably never hit 5 feet and just always be tiny. I can deal with that!! I am just so happy to finally get some answers!!!!
I will update you when the other labs come back.:)
Re: we have answers!!!
Yay!! Congrats on getting some answers!! I know it sucks hearing that something is wrong with your child, but at least you know what it is and how to deal with it. Woo hoo!!
Re: we have answers!!!
HAHA I feel the same way when something comes back abnormal-AT LEAST WE HAVE ANSWERS AND CAN MOVE ON!!! Congrats, I think! :) Here's to starting treatments!
Re: we have answers!!!
It must be nice to have answers. I am afraid that if Alexa doesn't gain weight I am going to find out something horrible. I am glad that there are things that aren't horrible out there.

The Matthews Range of mountains is an area of untouched wilderness that would stake its claim as one of Kenya's remotest regions. Sitting between Kenya's barren northern wastelands and the busier Laikipia safari region, the Range stands in stark contrast to the surrounding low-lying savannah plains. Although it receives very few visitors, this area offers some of East Africa's finest walking.
This region is primarily a wilderness area and not a big game destination; however, there are a good number of elephant, along with buffalo and leopard. The main attraction is the remoteness and the scarcity of other visitors. Days are spent exploring the area on game walks, birdwatching and interacting with the local Samburu tribe. It's a destination for old safari hands or for people wanting to explore a little-visited region. Show me more >
Matthews Range: where to stay
We recommend flying in to this area rather than driving, and there are two camps we are happy to recommend. Kitich Camp ('place of happiness' in Samburu) is a six-roomed bush camp with long drop toilets and canvas bag showers. It is a great little camp with good guides and a range of activities, as well as a reputation for slight eccentricity but good food as a result of its Italian owner's influence. Sarara on the other hand is run entirely by the local Samburu with the help of the Lewa Conservancy in return for protection of the area's wildlife. With only five rooms, Sarara is slightly more luxurious than Kitich and is one of Kenya's greatest recent success stories.

Citation: Pascale, M., Lippolis, V., Maragos, C., Viscontin, A. 2006. Recent developments in trichothecene analysis [abstract]. American Chemical Society. AGFD No. 206. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Gas chromatographic (GC) methods based on ECD, FID or MS detection are the most widely used methods for quantitative determination of the more toxic type-A trichothecenes (T-2 and HT-2 toxins). Deoxynivalenol (DON), the main type-B trichothecene frequently occurring in cereal grains, is commonly detected by HPLC/UV at ppb levels with good accuracy and precision. Recently, we have developed a method for the simultaneous determination of T-2 and HT-2 toxins in cereal grains using immunoaffinity column clean-up, labeling with 1-anthroylnitrile, and HPLC with fluorescence detection (FD). Moreover, a fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) has been used for rapid quantification of DON in wheat. Ongoing research efforts focus on improvement of the HPLC/FD method for T-2 and HT-2 using new labeling reagents (i.e. 1-naphthoyl chloride, 2-naphthoyl chloride, pyrene-1-carbonyl cyanide), and the optimization of FPIA for rapid screening of DON in soft and durum wheat kernels, semolina and pasta.

The Mensa admission test is the most accessible qualifying IQ test allowed for Mensa admission. Anyone over the age of 14 may sit for the test, and it can be administered by a psychologist or a participating school. The test is typically given at varying times and has a fee of $40. The Mensa admission test can take up to two hours to complete and is comprised of two separate tests. The first test is the Mensa Wonderlic, a 12 minute test that contains fifty questions, and the second is the Mensa Admission Test. The admission test is comprised of seven different sections and 125 questions.
The questions you will face when taking the test consist of distance and relational abilities and of course your congnitive aptitude. Most of the distance problems are measured in meters, so if you plan on figuring out the right answer, you need to know your metric systems. One type of question that you might see involves two men who leave their house at the same time or who leave from the same point. One man walks in one direction for three meters, and the other man walks the opposite way, turning after five meters and then turning again. You need to find the distance between the men. Another example of a question involves age. You need to figure out how old someone is based on the age of a sibling and how old they were ten years ago.
Analysis questions are also big on the test, similar to those that you would find on an SAT test. It is not uncommon to see a simple question like pear is to apple as potato is to what? While taking the test, you will see questions about what one person likes. Peter will like Susan and not Shawna, William but not Charles. You need to figure out the logic in the names to determine who he will like out of two names that are given. There are pictures to look at in puzzles, and you will see words that have a common word at the beginning to create new words. The Mensa test is something that requires you to think outside of the box with some questions, and there are some questions that you have to be able to work out with pencil and paper by knowing math and other subjects!
The majority of the questions on the test have multiple choice answers, just remember its a personal assessment and guessing will not give you an accurate representation of your ability.
If sitting for this exam is something you dont wish to do there are means of entry into Mensa besides achieving the qualifying level on an approved Mensa Admission Test. If you've taken the SAT between 1974 and 1994 and scored 1250 or better you may be eligable for Mensa admission. The same scoring level (of 1250 or above) applies to the GRE as well as long as it was before 1994. These test must have been proctored and taken at a confirmable and approved facility to be recognized by Mensa. For further information please contact Mensa International at Mensa.org or American Mensa at American Mensa Home.

Do you love the smell of wood, the warmth of wood, but hate the work of wood? Then a Pellet fireplace insert is right for you. Pellet fuel comes in nice, neat, clean 40 lb sacks, and all you have to do is tear open a bag and pour it in the hopper! A pellet-burning fireplace insert heats 1,000 to 2,500 square feet, depending on its size. We at Comfort Living Fireplaces can help you find the size insert you need depending on what heating capacity you want to heat. Yes, the perfect fire for your space!
A pellet insert is a heating appliance that fits inside an existing solid fuel buring fireplace, burns pellets as its fuel, and uses electricity to operate the components of the insert to make it burn the fuel to heat your space. A pellet insert also has a hopper where you pour in the fuel, which is automatically dispensed to the fire. You can easily adjust the intensity of the fire and the rate at which pellets are supplied to produce as much, or as little, heat as you want.

Coming soon! In the meantime, have a look at some of our articles.
Tesla! Solar! Roof!
Turn your roof into a powerplant, harnessing the energy of the sun! Install it for less than traditional clay tile roofing! Warranty lasts for infinity years! It's the best thing since sliced bread, and better as a roofing material! Take a deep breath. Tesla's very good at this superlative marketing thing. And -- spoiler alert -- the solar roof is pretty cool. But there are some things to consider before you climb up on your roof with a hammer and nails. Er, wiring harness. Er, batteries? Hang on. Let's talk it through.
Flasher, the Pearl, and Tobin Hill
Flasher Equipment Company is one of the largest landholders in Tobin Hill, and their property is the linchpin to the next phase of changes coming to one of the city's rockstar urban redevelopment precincts. As their property changes hands -- and character -- what should happen to make the most of it from an urban planning perspective?
What You Need to Know About Reclaimed Wood
Good news: we're not in the 80s any more. You can stop dreaming in beige and looking enviously at your neighbor's fake tumbled marble ceramic tile. There's a new-re-found interest in authenticity. What does that mean? Lots of things like using natural materials (with some careful use of synthetics and composites that don't pretend they're natural), doing away with materials mimicry, and burgeoning interest in reclaimed materials. Let's talk a little about why and how to use reclaimed wood, with a few bonus thoughts about what NOT to do.
History, Theory, and Additions
A fair bit of the work we do involves working with historic buildings. This is becoming a more salient reality for many architects. Our cities are aging, downtowns are being revitalized, and there's more focus on keeping and building on what we have rather than wiping the slate clean and starting over. This article looks at a specific issue to illuminate two discrete positions: new additions to historic buildings. This is a project type we grapple with on a regular basis, so read on for some thoughts.
UTMB's East Plant: MORE POWER
We've developed a bit of a sub-specialization in thermal energy plants with the completion of UTMB's East Plant. This is number three for Work5hop's personnel (UTSA's North Thermal Energy Plant and Northeast Lakeview College's Physical Plant are the others, both done while with another firm). A fourth plant -- a substantial expansion of UTMB's West Plant -- is under construction now. Read on for more about the East Plant, its design parameters, and its capabilities.
Housing Economics
We're a very design-centric firm, but part of design is a deeper understanding of concepts at work. That sometimes leads us a bit further afield than "look at this pretty picture" into the realm of numbers and analysis. The intersection of design, home ownership, and economics is an interesting one. First, let's talk about economics and owning a house, then we'll look at ties between design and the latter two concepts in a future post. Homeownership has declined nation-wide in the past several decades. As owning a home remains a dream of many and the level of homeownership is viewed as an indication of economic conditions, this is an important metric. We're going to evaluate that situation from the construction and real estate side.
The Process, Part 4: Frequently Asked Questions
We'll wrap up our four-part series on the process of getting projects done with answers to some questions that we get frequently. Don't forget to go back and read our previous articles in this series, and if you have a question we didn't cover, send it in.
The Process, Part 3: Things You Should Know About Construction
We hope you've been reading along with our series about the process of getting a project done. If not, you may want to go back and read Part 1 (hiring a designer) and Part 2 (the design process). Now, we're on to Part 3: construction. Things get tougher during construction. While hiring a designer and working through the design process might have been alternately a bit confusing (hiring) and fun (design), construction ups the ante into "playing for keeps" territory. Keep reading for more.
State of Work5hop: Year 2
2016 was a great year. We built on the successes we had last year, had a few (great) surprises along the way, and ended on a high note. Read on for more about what 2016 held and what we're looking forward to in 2017.
The Process, Part 2: What's This Design Thing All About?
This second part in our series about the design and construction process on small projects is all about design itself. Design is the fun part, both for you and for us. This is the second-best stage of a project: the skies are clear and blue and we're talking about what can be. Everything is exciting at the beginning, and it's our goal for the tough parts of the project to be just as rewarding and exciting as the first conversation. The best part, of course, is when you get to use your new space for the first time, but there's work to do first. Read on.
Hurricane Harvey Is Coming: Is My House Going to Fall Down?
Is your San Antonio house in danger from Hurricane Harvey or another tropical storm or hurricane? No, probably not, but there are some things you should take care of to help decrease your risk.
The Process, Part 1: So You've Decided to Hire a Designer
Maybe you've read our articles on right-sizing your house, renovating a historic property, or table design and thought to yourself "these guys sound like they know what they're talking about. I want them to work on my [fill in the blank]." Well, great. We're in. Please contact us. But if you have questions about the design and construction process, then this series of articles is for you. We're going to walk through the process of hiring a designer, designing your project, hiring and working with a contractor, and completion.
Old Red Medical Museum Concept
As the first medical school west of the Mississippi, established in 1891, the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston's (UTMB) history is compelling and unique, and the university has long wanted to establish a museum dedicated to its history and the anatomical samples which were historically used for teaching purposes. The chosen site for the museum is a building universally called Old Red, formally known as the Ashbel Smith Building. It is the first dedicated building at UTMB, and it housed the entirety of the university's teaching and adminstrative operations when it was built. It's also one of the most significant buildings in the state – it was designed by Nicholas Clayton and completed in 1891. Work5hop worked with a UTMB committee to develop a conceptual design and to perform an analysis of the space for its fitness as a museum. Read on for more.
Brackenridge by the Numbers
Brackenridge Park is in the news a lot these days -- we're working on its first new master plan in over 30 years, the Brackenridge Park Conservancy is starting to gain steam, and there's a bond election coming up that could fund some transformative projects in the park. In spite of that, many people don't really know much about the city's most popular park. So here are some facts and figures that you might find surprising.
How Big Should My House Be?
A lot of people these days are reconsidering where they live in the city and what the tradeoffs are for choosing center-city living in terms of affordable space. If you're thinking along those lines, read on for our thoughts about what's important in a smaller home.
State of Work5hop: Year 1
It's been a year since Work5hop was founded. It's time to reflect on where we started, where we are, and where we're going. Most design firms don't assess progress on any kind of regular basis. Those which do certainly don't share it. We will. Why? We believe that trust is the very core of your relationship with us, whether you're our client, a consultant who works with us, or merely someone who is interested in who we are and what we're up to. Communicating openly about status and intentions is important in any relationship. So that's our intention.
Opinion: The Public Realm
San Antonio has seen significant increases in property values over the past three years. That affects more than just your property tax: public policy adapts as well to address the changes in actual versus perceived land value. But dollars are only half of the equation for public entities. Just as important are how we want our city to develop and the kinds of places we want to create here. As a city, we should make decisions about public land which take quality of life into consideration, not just money. Read on for more thoughts.
Stinson Field Control Tower
If you follow Work5hop on social media, you probably couldn't help but notice that we -- along with our teammate, Brantley Hightower of HiWorks Architecture -- won a recent competition to redesign a proposed new control tower at Stinson Field. This is a very important win for our firms, and we're honored to have been selected. We thought that the competition and our design might be worth an article to explain a bit more about both, plus a few words on where we go from here. Read on for more.
Foodcraft: Roasted Vegetables
This is an easy one -- everyone knows how to roast vegetables, right? Well, not everyone knows just how easy it is. So here's a quick primer on the basics.
Collateral Design: Principles
We could have started here, I suppose, in this resuscitation of Collateral Design with a series of writings about principles. But we didn't, mainly to give some context to this exchange, which lies at the heart of this series of back-and-forth about architecture, meaning, and philosophies about what we intend to accomplish with architecture.
Historic Homes: Advanced Class
What, you thought it was that easy ? Nope. Those were just the basics. What, you've already bought the house? Well, good for you. Time to get serious about this. Unless you want to just hand the project off to someone else (like Work5hop!), historic preservation and renovation are hands-on, in-depth projects. Once you get deeply into it, you'll run across situations that you never imagined. I've tried to lay out a few of them here.
220 West Fair Oaks
220 West Fair Oaks is an Alamo Heights home built in the 1940s. Work5hop collaborated with with Homes by Estate, a local interior design firm, on a comprehensive renovation and addition. Click through for photos by CraigMac Visuals. Plan by Work5hop.
Collateral Design: Thermal Delight in Texas
The latest entry in the Collateral Design series tackles a timely topic, given that we're in the middle of our annual mid-September heat wave: thermal comfort and its meaningfulness to life, architecture, and everything. It also includes slant references to Ben Franklin's finest literary work. Bonus points if you catch those.
Historic Homes: Basic Do's and Don'ts
Buying a historic home can be a leap of faith; many people are unfamiliar with the particular challenges of an older building. Do you know what you need to know before jumping in? Here are a few things you should know as well as some things you should and shouldn't do. Give it a read before you buy and renovate a historic home.
Gallery: 618 East Locust
This is a gallery of a first and ongoing project: 618 East Locust. The home was built around 1920, and most of its original architectural detail was lost in a series of renovations beginning around 1950.
Collateral Design: Complexity and Contradiction
This second in a series of blog posts rescued from digital dust tackles the question of what "complex" really means for modern architecture. As technology and aesthetics have changed, we've traded traditional ornamentation for building performance in some interesting ways.
Collateral Design: Decay and Renewal
Back in 2011, Brantley Hightower (fellow architect, former college roommate, co-best man, and founder of HiWorks Architecture) and I co-wrote a blog called the Collateral Design Blog. It was largely structured as a dialogue, based off of the emails we'd send back and forth. From time to time, I'll be mining that work for articles here. First up is a discussion about design, decay, weathering, and how all of that interrelates.
Essay: Gentrification
Investment has risen in the near-urban core recently, particularly in that ring of neighborhoods immediately surrounding downtown, so gentrification is a popular discussion point lately. I believe it's important to improve our neighborhoods while keeping -- and increasing -- the diversity of experiences and culture which defines the city.
As you may have noticed if you read W5's article on making an Old Fashioned, we define craft as something larger than how you may have perceived it in your high school shop class. It's not just about making things out of wood: it's about making things, period. There's lots of stuff in this world that you can make better than anything you can buy, either because you've got specific desires or because modern industry is great at repetition but bad at thoughtful design. These planters are that for me: they solve a specific problem, and they also help enable a larger goal. Read on for detailed instructions, including a downloadable PDF.
Wood and Its Relatives
I promise that talking about wood isn't boring. It's one of those things that seems pretty simple, until you've worked with it. There are three basic classifications of wood-based materials out there: wood itself, materials which are primarily pieces of wood glued together (plywood and some more esoteric materials that aren't part of this discussion), and materials which are as much adhesive as they are tiny little bits of wood (MDF and particle board, among others). Keep reading for some thoughts on some strengths and weaknesses.
Planning Principles
One of Work5hop's specializations is master planning. Many of the things that designers do are easily comprehensible -- architecture, interior design, and a host of related fields are well understood. Master planning, however, isn't. That's unfortunate, because master planning is the step most critical to the success of building projects and how they relate to larger goals. This is true for a project as small as home renovation and as large as a university campus. My perspective on master planning relates directly to the belief that what you build should be translated directly from those larger goals. Read on for details.
Crafting an Old Fashioned
Anything made can be crafted -- it's about being thoughtful and intentional, not about any product in particular. A wheel of cheese can be crafted, just like a rocking chair. Is it a little annoying and hipster-y to expand the definition of "crafted" so far? Yes, it is. Deal with it. Maybe a nice drink would help you feel better. We're going to craft it, though, so take a shot first and click on through.
Essay: Appearances Don't Matter
Designers spend a great deal of time on how things look. But that's only one part of a much bigger picture; the experience of a space, which is what impacts us the most, is much more than appearances. Read on for more thoughts on what we should value in design.
Prototyping: Copper Pendant Fixture
The office doesn't have very good lighting at the moment, primarily because the light fixtures are currently dumb exposed-bulb ceramic fittings screwed to the ceiling. Classy, it isn't; fast and cheap, it was. Time to fix that situation. This is the first of a couple of articles documenting the process of prototyping two copper pendant fixtures which will hang in the office, specifically to light a desk and a table.
A Day In the Life: A Visit to the Precast Plant
Every now and again, we'll be posting articles about what we're up to. Design and construction may not be as exciting as, say, being a touring musician or pyrotechnics techician, but occasionally we get to do neat stuff that you don't see every day. This first article is about a visit to the precast concrete plant. Don't know what that is or how it could be called "neat?" Then A) please humor me on the whole "neat" thing, and B) read on.
The History of South Llano River State Park
The South Llano River State Park project is a joint effort between Work5hop and our good friends at Ford, Powell & Carson. The project involves a restoration of a 1910 residence and a new headquarters, and it is currently at the end of the schematic design phase. Rachel Wright with Ford, Powell & Carson is our guest author. This is the first in a series of articles talking about the history, design process, and eventual construction out at South Llano River State Park.
SA Historical Context Map: Not Gone, Not Forgotten
If you live in or have visited San Antonio, you've probably heard about the acequias. Ever wonder where they were? On a visit to the Alamo, have you ever wanted to know where the historic limits of the mission were? Did you know that San Antonio had 90 ( ninety! ) miles of streetcar lines in the late 1920s? Context is an important thing, and San Antonio has more of it than any other city in Texas. Learn more about what was there by exploring this map, which overlays historical features on a modern map.
Modeling Carlos Cortes's San Antonio Grotto
The grotto on the San Antonio River is a one-of-a-kind blending of Carlos Cortes's faux bois artistry with some very unusual architectural and engineering work. Other pieces have been written on Carlos's work; this article focuses on the techniques used during design and then to communicate the design to the entire construction team.
A Building or a Fork?
A few words about the whys and wherefores of the intersection of building and planning, with a side comparison of buildings and eating utensils. The two (uh, building and planning, not building and forks) should be a lot more similar than they are to many designers. Here's also what that approach means in the instance of a particular Texas A&M component campus.
Walking Distance: Brackenridge Park Master Planning
San Antonio's Brackenridge Park reflects the character and history of one of the state's oldest large cities. The park is embedded in the fabric of the city, but more than that, the park itself has shaped the development of the city around it. This ongoing project, the first phase of which was completed while the author was at Ford, Powell & Carson, is of critical importance to the city.
The Table Matters and related considerations
Here's what's most important in designing a kitchen table: enhancing experiences. "What?" you say? Not how it looks, or what it's made of? Nope, not those, even though that's what you probably think about the most. And how does a table enhance an experience, anyway? Read on to find out.
W5 Cabinets: cabinets aren't boring.
Work5hop's office is a custom-built studio that combines an office and workshop. We'll have a series of articles talking about various parts of the building as it continues to evolve; this first one is about the custom cabinets in the office. The studio is our chance to play around with ideas and build prototypes of projects that will make it to production later, so read on to find out about what we explored with the cabinetry. Yes, cabinetry. It's a lot more interesting with a little thoughfulness.
About the website...
We're a design firm. You've probably gathered that. So the website has been designed (and, incidentally, programmed in house) with some particular goals in mind that are quite a bit different from a typical design firm's website. Click on through for a brief intro about the website and what you can expect.
NOLA Tables
We've recently completed a suite of tables for NOLA Brunch & Beignets, a new San Antonio restaurant run by Pieter and Susan Kaars-Sypestyn of Cookhouse fame. These tables were designed especially for the restaurant. The food and atmosphere at the Cookhouse and NOLA draw from deep sources of inspiration: the blend of cultures in New Orleans, the specific and complex climate and local resources, and the distinct foodways of the region. The architecture, interiors, and furnishings of the new restaurant draw from the same inspiration. We have blended the historic with the new, and reworked what some would see as discards into centerpieces.
This second in a series of posts about craft cocktails details the process to make a Bijou. The Bijou is not a well-known drink, although it's older than many of the popular drinks today. It's unusual in its combination of flavors, so if you're not a fan of the whiskey-driven class of cocktails like the Old Fashioned, Manhattan, and variants thereof, you might want to give this one a try. The bijou has an interesting vegetal flavor which makes it a bit lighter -- although not lighter in alcohol content -- than some of the usual heavyweights.
Why Do We Ignore Ceilings?
Ceilings are really about light. To the extent that most architecture is really about light, ceilings are pretty important, then. That's why it surprises me to that ceilings are the most ignored surface in most buildings. More musings follow.

The 12 Attributes of a Modern Leader
Over the past two and a half years I've asked everyone from high school students governors through executives at fortune 100 companies, "What is leadership to you?"
The most common answer: Ummm, I don't know.
I'm not surprised. Modern leadership theory is muddled with contradictions, double-speak, and ideas that were more relevant before an uber-connected modernity became the norm for business, education, and non-profits.
In the following months, I will begin publicly working on Ignited Leadership's Leadership Manifesto through my newsletter (you can sign up here) and blog. If you follow along you will learn how to develop the skills and perspective of a modern leader.
Lets begin with the definition: a good leader is someone who proactively helps other people. I discussed this recently in a guest post over here.
Below are the attributes that I consider essential for modern leaders [Note: this list itself is a work in progress and will be periodically updated if you have suggestions for additional attributes I would love to hear from you in the comments section].
the 12 Attributes of a modern leader
- Modern leaders believe that there is serious work to be done. They look at the norm and have a problem with all of the needless suffering in our local and global communities. Modern leaders want to tackle problems ranging from quality of life in the workplace through eradicating malaria, HIV/AIDS, environmental degredation, and poverty.
- Modern leaders believe that the best way to build a better world is by creating and becoming better leaders. Without good leaders taking action now, nothing will change.
- A modern leader possesses both local and global perspectives.
- Modern leaders believe that the first step to changing the world is changing themselves. They understand that external change cannot take place until internal change has occurred.
- A modern leader knows when to follow.
- A modern leader is dedicated to dreaming big, refusing failure, and choosing to test the limits of what is and is not possible for herself instead of allowing society to dictate the limits.
- A modern leader asks a lot of questions and then listens.
- A modern leader is a servant. This doesn't mean they are necessarily consensus seeking or in the habit of using democratic decision making. Instead it means that their decisions are rooted in the question, "Is this life affirming for myself and the people Im leading?" and only proceeding if the answer is yes.
- A modern leader is adept at leaving his comfort zone.
- A modern leader has a sharp understanding of the importance of honesty; both with herself and with the people she is leading. She knows how to encourage honesty in others.
- A modern leader periodically disconnects from the mania of modernity so that they can reconnect with themselves and their personal vision. They understand that the elements that serve us (smartphones that are always at our side and never turned off, superfast laptops enabling us to work from all four corners of the earth, and the subtle demands of being everything to everyone) are also capable of enslaving us.
- A modern leader believes that separation is an illusion and that ultimately, we belong to one another.
In the coming months I will be writing articles for both my newsletter and blog on why these attributes are critical in modernity, and how you can develop them to begin creating a better life for yourself, your local community, and our wider global community.
Are there attributes of a modern leader that you believe are missing? If so please leave them in the comment section below. Note: comments are held in moderation and do not post immediately.
