Recession-proof your job skills
Posted on | January 10, 2009 | 2 Comments
Friday's labor report (lack of labor actually) was not cheery. In addition to the 11.1 million of us out of work, there are another 8 million working part time because they can't find work and another 2 million who've given up looking. Conventional wisdom says it gets worse in the coming months. Until recently (see chart trend of the search term "great depression"), comparisons to the Great Depression were growing daily. Now we're either tired of the talk or busy looking for work.
But the comparisons aren't apples to apples by any stretch of the imagination. We overlook the impact of the Internet. In the same way the digital revolution increased the flow of capital and investment around the globe (and will speed recovery, honest!), so too will it be used to help the labor force. We've already seen it.
The Remote Worker
The number of remote workers exploded in the late '90s and early 2000s as broadband and fast computers made it possible. "Full employment" probably will take time to recover; in the meantime the tough freelance life will hold sway. But it need not be tough: Use Web 2.0 social-networking and communications tools to create brigades of topical experts ready at a moment's notice to develop their labor to a project. The mobile computing revolution makes you accessible to potential employers every minute of the work day. If you have a Web presence that displays your schedule, whereabouts and instant contact information, this greases the skids.
Companies typically farm out project work after massive layoffs, slowly at first and then more aggressive as their business recovers. It strikes me as natural and obvious that the infrastructure built in this decade with sophisticated, useful Web 2.0 tools will start to deployed better by companies (not just posting jobs on Monster.com) to solicit, start and manage project work from talented workers in far-flung areas.
The Aging Workforce
It's going to have to happen because a legion of talented older workers will be fleeing high-priced metro areas for affordable rural digs as they approach their 50s, 60s and beyond and declining earning years. They have enormous experience but end up getting pink-slipped because, at this stage of their career, they're high-ticket items for bean counters worried about not only salary but health care costs pushed up by older workers.
So you've begun networking on Facebook or LinkedIn or what not. That's a start. You can use a blog or build a site through GoDaddy (outstanding customer service) to showcase your expertise, tell people where you are today and what your available hours are and how to get in touch. You're now a virtual shopkeeper.
Supporting companies' evolution
This is important not only for you but for agencies and companies looking to expand from their niches without hiring.
Our public relations agency, Blanc & Otus, often wants to add expertise to traditional media outreach and content creation. Wouldn't it be great if there were virtual clearinghouses we could tap for video producers, event managers, script writers etc. to support creative publicity ideas?
It will take time of course. Companies for the most part have little grasp of the potential of enabling Web technologies beyond static Web pages and "this Twitter thing." But companies will have to remold themselves in this economy because we're in it for the long haul.
And a little thought-leadership on your part as a freelancer/contractor will eventually get you hired full time if that's what you're aiming for.

Brian, Tina Brown has an interesting piece over at her Daily Beast site that speaks to this issue: http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-01-12/the-gig-economy/. If nothing else, this new gigeconomy is going to force the government to manage health benefits: nobody is going to be associated with a company anymore!

Also, watch and cheer on my grandkids as they show off their animals. Anna(11) showed a goat and a pig. Christopher showed a Steer and a pig. They did great and even sold his steer. He placed 7th in his class with the steer and made the top 7 in showmanship with the pig. Anna placed 3rd in showmanship with her pig. I thought you would enjoy seeing the letters that were sent out to auction buyers.
I won red and blue ribbons on my stitching, will post pictures later. The judging was something else this year. It seemed they gave almost all red ribbons(most not have known much about what they were judging.
I did manage to get a few stitches in a few pieces. Here are pictures of what I stitched on this past week.
I have started stitching on page 5 with the alphabet being done in the algerian eye stitch. This will be a new stitch learned for me. The Alphabet Sampler Book - With My Needle

text: Every couple is different… They are all multifaceted and I aim to capture as many of those beautiful complications that I am able to. You will see a mixture of emotive portraits, laughter, movement, and some of deep reflection within each other. I aim to make you feel comfortable (almost all of my couples say they won't photograph well and end up in love with their portraits). So even if you aren't a model, even if you are nervous, as long as you are deeply in love with someone else: I've got you! Let's create some Colorado engagement magic!

Mr Goodman can relax: he now has a whole new series in which to find Adam "a female" after Channel 4 confirmed that Friday Night Dinner will return for a second run.
The sitcom stars Simon Bird and Tom Rosenthal as a pair of twentysomethings returning to their childhood home – not to mention their childhood roles – to have dinner with their parents played by Tamsin Greig and Paul Ritter.
It is written and produced by Robert Popper – a former Channel 4 comedy commissioner himself and co-creator of BBC mockdoc Look Around You.
"I am so happy to be making a second series of Friday Night Dinner for Channel 4. I can't wait to get writing in the same small room again for eight lonely months, talking to myself at regular intervals and eating far too many biscuits," Popper said.
The first episode of Friday Night Dinner premiered to strong viewing figures – with more than 2.8 million watching the first episode across live broadcast, C4 +1 and video on demand services.

Every two weeks Accessible Media's Kelly MacDonald and Ramya Amuthan of the Kelly and Company welcome me on the show and give me the opportunity to talk about my favourite topic - FOOD! Today's discussion was all about Holiday Baking. Tips to make it enjoyable and stress free while snacking on a few of my popular holiday cookie recipes. If you missed it, or can't remember which Wednesday my segment airs, don't worry I've included everything in this post OR you can always listen to the segment here on the AMI Kelly and Company podcast.
The Check List
Let's begin with a check list of, how to make sure your holiday baking enjoyable and successful.
- decide what cookie recipes you want to make and keep them handy.
- most important thing is read the recipe from beginning to end
- take inventory of what you have in your pantry
- create a shopping list
- check your appliances and make sure all is in working order. And you have enough pans, cookie sheets and storage containers.
- For best results, let your cookie sheet cool completely before reusing it. If time is limited, you can get away with letting it cool for as little as 5 minutes. Never reuse a sheet straight from the oven, as its high heat will cause the dough to spread and the cookies to fuse together.
- use good quality ingredients.
- Like cooking with wine. If you won't drink it don't cook with it.
- Don't use leftover chocolate from 2 Christmas' past that were tucked inside a packaged mug that someone re-gifted to you.
Popular Holiday Cookie Recipes
- Whipped Shortbread Cookies
- Sugar Cookies (often confused for shortbread cookies)
- Sugar cookies often have many ingredients
- Traditional shortbread has four ingredients at most: sugar, butter, flour and sometimes vanilla.
- Only similarity is the dough is chilled for both
- Thumbprint Cookies
- Gingerbread Cookies or Ginger Crackle Cookies
- Chocolate Bark
- Amaretti Cookies (traditional Italian Almond Cookies)
- Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside
The Healthy-ISH Holiday Breakfast
If cookies aren't YOUr thing, make your holiday morning a little sweeter with this make ahead quick and easy Greek Yogurt Chocolate Mousse for a healthy-ISH Holiday Breakfast.
Its simple, protein packed (without the meat), and decadent
- Gently heat the milk and chocolate together on low heat until the chocolate melts, being careful not to let it boil.
- Remove the warm milk from heat and let it rest for 3-5 minutes
- Add vanilla extract and honey
- Spoon the greek yogurt into a large bowl
- Pour the chocolate mixture on top. Mix together well before transferring to individual bowls or glasses.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to help develop the flavours.
- The chocolate mousse will keep in the refrigerator for 2 days.
- Just before serving top each glass with granola and a few chocolate chips.
Something for the kiddies
Looking for something to make with the kids? Look no further. Try a three ingredient bark recipe.
- Chocolate, dried Cranberries and Roasted Almonds
- add chocolate to a microwave safe dish
- Melt chocolate in the microwave (stirring every 30 seconds),
- remove from microwave, stir, and keep doing this until it is about 75% melted and stir to melt the rest
- Dip your finger in and smear it on a piece of parchment paper. It should set up and get hard in a couple minutes.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper
- Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper, top with roasted almonds and cranberries
- refrigerate to set and chop into pieces.
- the bark should set in 10-15 minutes. If in a rush use the freezer.
- Store it in a cool dry place in an air tight container.
- The bark can last for months unto a year. But in my home this won't last a week!
Happy Holidays from my kitchen to yours, and good baking Karma to you all!

Allie Logan isn't the type to land a hot hunk of cowboy. Truth is, she's given up on dating since shedding her no-good ex. But the new owner of the most ramshackle ranch in Texas might just change her mind about that. He's six-foot-plus of tall, dark, and charming-the kind of guy who could make a girl throw caution to the wind . . . or the kind of guy who could break her heart.
Blake Dawson hopes he can make Lucky Penny Ranch finally live up to its name, but the property needs a ton of work. Allie and her carpentry skills are his best shot at getting things in order. Besides the fact that her brown eyes and dangerous curves have him roped and tied. Now Blake only needs to convince her that a wild cowboy can be tamed by love-and she's just the one to do it . . .
I was given a copy of this book by Netgalley for an honest review.
If you like Cowboys, then you will love WILD COWBOY WAYS. If you need work done on your place you want Allie Logan for the job. So when Blake Dawson needed a new roof, he hired her. Blake Dawson wants to make the Lucky Penny a success, he needs help in getting the house ready. So, when Allie comes to his doorstep to retrieve her Grandmother, he hires her to do the work. The Lucky Penny has been bad luck for the ones who owned it before, but can he turn that luck around and have good luck in winning Allie over. I love a good Carolyn Brown book. The stories that she write are heartwarming and funny. Sometimes I just fall in love with the secondary characters. WILD COWBOY WAYS will pull you in and won't let you go until the end. I loved this book and recommend it to everyone. I give WILD COWBOY WAYS 5/5 STARS.

I'm on a quest to connect with the untamed world, release the wild words, and discover the wild self. Continued from last week…
I strode for twenty minutes along the unmade road that leads straight into the damp crevice of the gorge, under the shadow of the mountain.
My clicking, grinding thoughts, that inner film, continued to roll. And it was a horror film. There were men in balaclavas, drunken gangs of youths, wild boar, and hungry bears. They whooped and snarled and shrieked their war cries as they came at me from the dark places. I covered my ears with my hands and screamed.
At that moment, quite suddenly, the fears released like smoke into the air, and the film flickered to a stop. I was left alone in the night. Now I saw different things. I saw one small star signal from behind a cloud. I heard the night bird resume its comforting call. I heard the rustle of a small creature in the undergrowth, seeking a warm place for the night.
And now. It was another of Byron's poems 'She Walks In Beauty', that came to mind, his description of a night of 'cloudless climes and starry skies'.
And I remembered Mary Oliver's work. She describes the coming of the light after 'Sleeping In The Forest',
'By morning
I had vanished at least a dozen times
into something better.'
I realised that my days are always full and light, sometimes too bright. My eyes get tired from seeing too much. Now I was bathing in the pleasure of the restful dark, the silence and the stillness. And had it not been so cold, I might have sat down to enjoy the presence of the absence, in which all felt possible.
When I returned to the house later that night, I felt the strength of a true warrior, and slept with the contentment of someone who feels truly safe. There is nothing so fortifying as refusing to run away in the face of fear.

1. Hydrate The winter months can be drying to the skin. Frigid dry air outside along with dry heat from indoor heating can strip skin of moisture.Adding a humidifier to your home or a small desktop version to your office can add much needed moisture to the air.
It may be tempting to crank the temperature on your shower, but this can be drying to the skin. Limit the heat and duration to avoid stripping your body of natural oils and don't forget to moisturize to lock in the hydration.
Don't forget your 8 glasses of water a day. A warm glass of green or herbal tea is a great alternative on a cold day. My favorite tea we serve here at Laser Enhanced Therapies is Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice
2. Exfoliate Dead skin cells can keep moisturizers from penetrating skin. Treat your skin to a Microdermabrasion post holiday a non-chemical, non-invasive treatment that involves gently abrading the skin. It is used to maintain healthy skin as well as to treat skin damage from trauma, aging, or sun exposure. Between microdermabrasions, do some at home exfoliation with one our masks by Image Skincare (such as the Vital C Masque, Ageless Glycolic Masque, or the Clear Cell Salicylic Masque).
Alternate your an exfoliant along with a moisturizing cleanser such as Michelle's Creamy Pumpkin Cleanser Loaded with vitamins and exfoliating enzymes, Pumpkin Fruit and Honey hydrate as they refine skin's surface. Blue Green Algae is rich in minerals and antioxidants to fortify skin tissues and help soothe redness and irritation.
3. Did I mention…Moisturize!!! Hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant that will keep your skin dewy and ageless. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring polysaccharide (carbohydrate) in the human body. It's present in large amounts in the spaces between skin cells, where it provides moisture, plumpness, firmness and suppleness to the skin. Unfortunatley the amount of Hyalronic acid can diminish with age. Since hyaluronic acid holds moisture well–holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water–it is a commonly used component in moisturizers. In these moisturizers, it functions not only to deliver water to the skin, but also to hold it there. As a large molecule, it doesn't permeate deep into the skin, but instead stays near the surface where it moisturizes the skin surface layers. Try Ageless Total Pure Hyaluronic Filler. Unique and pure, this highly concentrated and botanically derived hyaluronic filler is infused with an apricot essential oil and potent antioxidant Vitamin E. Used topically, skin will feel pure hydration in just one application. Skin looks and feels younger instantly.
4. Protect Sun Protection: SPF 15+ in low light months (October to February in the upper United States); SPF 28+ when the sun gets stronger. Use every single day as part of your routine, and reapply during prolonged periods of sun exposure as needed.

Rebel painter who turned her back on English high society
Rebel painter who turned her back on English high society
By Adam Thomson
Published: June 3 2011 19:36 | Last updated: June 3 2011 19:36
Leonora Carrington, the surrealist painter and sculptor, was intended for a life of comfort and conformity in
the higher echelons of English society. Yet her passion for art and her fascination with the unconventional were far too strong to accommodate the plans of her wealthy family.
To her father's horror, she ran off to become the lover of the surrealist painter Max Ernst and, ultimately, an important artist in her own right. Her works command ever higher prices in the international art market.
Two years ago one of her canvasses sold at auction for $1.5m.
Her death at the age of 94 marks the loss of one of the strongest remaining links to 20th-century surrealism. Yet her upbringing had been so conventional. She was born in 1917 to Harold Carrington, a wealthy, workaholic textile manufacturer from Lancashire, who had no appreciation of art. Although Leonora had managed to attend art school in Italy, her father was determined to see her inserted permanently into the upper tier of English society. To that end, he gave her a coming out ball at the Ritz in London and arranged for her to be presented to George V.
Yet she was always headstrong and rebellious. She was expelled from two convent schools, the nuns saying that she would "co-operate neither in work nor play". As a debutante in the royal enclosure at Ascot races, she was so upset that women were not allowed to place their own bets that she turned her back on the horses and read Aldous Huxley's Eyeless in Gaza instead.
It was in 1936 at the International Surrealist Exhibition in London that she first saw the surrealist work of Max Ernst, one of the most important and influential artists of the 20th century. The impact on her was immediate. "I fell in love with Max's paintings before I fell in love with Max," she said. Ernst was 46 and she was just 20 when they met at a dinner party a year later. Despite the age gap and the fact that he was married at the time, they fell in love and ran off together – first to a Paris apartment, later, to a farmhouse in the south of France.
Through Ernst, Carrington met the most important artists of the time, including Joan Miró, Man Ray, Salvador Dali, Marcel Duchamp, Pablo Picasso and Andre Breton, author of the 1924 Surrealist Manifesto.Most young, aspiring artists might have been overwhelmed by such a roll call of talent. Carrington was unfazed. Once, when Miró gave her some change and told her to run to the corner for some cigarettes, she gave him a feisty reply. "I gave it back and said if he wanted cigarettes, he could bloody well get them himself," she recalled. "Iwasn'tdauntedbyanyofthem." In a similar vein, she described Picasso as "a typical Spaniard – he thought all women were in love with him".
Yet Ernst occupied a special place in her life. "From Max I had my education," she said years later. "He taught me everything." Little wonder that she suffered a mental breakdown after Ernst, a German, was interned near Aix-en-Provence in 1938. He was released within weeks but arrested again by the Nazis soon after their invasion of France. After months alone, and increasingly depressed, she ended up in a psychiatric hospital in Spain where she was treated with hallucinogenic and powerful, mind-altering drugs.
Concerned about her fate, her parents sent her nanny, reputedly in a submarine, to spirit her away to South Africa for treatment. Carrington managed to slip away from her chaperone, bolting to the Mexican embassy as the first place that came to mind. Married, briefly, to a Mexican diplomat, Renato Leduc, she went with him to Mexico where she was to be based for the rest of her life.
She established herself as an accomplished artist. In a 1948 write-up of a New York exhibition in Time magazine, her works were described as portraying "feathery, hairy, horny, half-luminous creatures merged imperceptibly into birds, animals and plants. Painted with cobweb delicacy, they conspired and paraded before misty landscapes and night skies thick with floating islands."
Ernst played a large part in shaping Carrington's style but there were other influences: the Celtic folk tales that her Irish nanny told her as a child; and even Crookhey Hall, the rambling English mansion where she grew up, and which features in many of her paintings.
Mexico, with its rich cultural history of Aztec and Mayan civilisations, as well as its cult of the dead, was an additional inspiration. It gave her a stability that had been so conspicuously lacking earlier. There, after amicably divorcing her first husband, she married Emerico Weisz, a Polish photojournalist, and had two sons – Gabriel, a poet, and Pablo, an artist and a doctor. Her sons survive her.
For years, her reputation as an artist in her native UK refused to keep pace with her talent – though that is changing. In Mexico, where she has long been considered one of the 20th century's great artists, the government officially declared her artwork "national heritage".
That her adopted country bestowed such honour on her while she was still alive is a fitting tribute to her importance in the surrealist genre and, more generally, the evolution of art in the 20th century.

'ANTHROPOCENE ❌TINCTION' is a collection of paintings which are part of an ongoing series highlighting the unnatural pressures inflicted on the natural world by humanity. It links the collections 'HOLOCENE TWILIGHT' where monochromatic paintings serve as a warning of fading memories of creatures under threat, and 'TRUE VALUE' where crystal mosaics focus on the importance of keystone species. ANTHROPOCENE ❌TINCTION brings together many elements of the previous two collections; the monochromatic panels again highlight potential irreversible loss, a message which is given further emphasis in the crystal mosaic cross on the face of the principal animal, which at once highlights its preciousness and draws attention to its fate. This collection also focuses on the ocean and critical habitats and ecosystems such as coral reefs, mangroves and primary rainforests, among the most productive and biologically complex on earth. Their loss could prove catastrophic in terms of climate change due to their importance as carbon storage assets.
The first painting in this collection is entitled SYMBIOSIS', a 2018 1ST ARTSLANT Prize Showcase Winner. The work focuses on several species of flamingo, the most threatened being the Andean Flamingo, which is represented in black and white. Of equal importance and under threat are the mangrove forests. Mangroves and coral reefs have a symbiotic relationship – the reef protects the coastal mangroves from being eroded by the sea, and the mangrove forest traps sediment washed from the land that would otherwise smother the reef. In the same way, this painting has a symbiotic relationship with 'Ocean Rainforest' the second work in the collection; the two paintings each exist individually as a complete work and together as part of a diptych. 'OCEAN RAINFOREST' was a winner of the Artivism Challenge which utilised the visual arts to raise awareness about six critical issues impacting our ocean. The judges included Susan Rockefeller, Dustin Yellin and Aaron Levi Garvey. The painting focuses on several species of sea turtle, one of the Earth's most ancient creatures who have been around since the time of the dinosaurs. No other group of vertebrates is facing a cloud of extinction quite like turtles, with nearly half being imminently threatened. The critically endangered Hawksbill Turtle, which is less migratory and more reef-associated, is represented in black and white. The ghostly female figure is supposed to represent the source of water, yet here it is uncertain if she may be the source of pollution. An allegorical reminder that our future is inherently bound up with our treatment of the earth's natural resources. (Click on images for lightbox.

A judge has given an extension of 60 days to the grand jury considering whether to indict Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, Mo., police officer who killed Michael Brown, 18. The jury must decide by Jan. 7 whether Officer Wilson, who is white, will be criminally charged in the death of Mr. Brown, who was black and unarmed.
Edward Magee, a spokesman for the St. Louis County prosecuting attorney, said Tuesday that the grand jury was still hearing evidence, but "we don't believe it's going to take" until January for the jury to decide.
The grand jury's regular term expired last Wednesday, leaving it with only Mr. Wilson's case to consider. The jury is hearing evidence in that case "when all 12 of them can get together," Mr. Magee said.
Robert P. McCulloch, the prosecuting attorney, has said he will present all of the evidence that has been gathered about the Aug. 9 shooting to the jury. At least nine jurors must vote to indict for an indictment to be issued.
Mr. Wilson will be given the opportunity to testify, but, as in a criminal trial, he is not required to do so.

Nuclear deal that led to Nene's sacking would have cost 90% of SA's budget
Minister says he was fired after he refused to endorse a nuclear deal with Russia
Nhlanhla Nene believes he was axed as finance minister in 2015 after he refused to endorse a nuclear deal with Russia that would have cost the equivalent of 90% of the country's budget this fiscal year.
In 2015, the government said the programme would cost about $100bn, which, on the exchange rate at the time, would have been R1.45-trillion. The state's total budget for this financial year is R1.56-trillion.
Other projects favoured by former president Jacob Zuma included a proposed restructuring of a deal between national airline SAA and aircraft manufacturer Airbus.
The proposed change, which the Treasury judged would have threatened the financial viability of the airline, was pushed by Dudu Myeni, a Zuma ally who was chair of the SAA board at the time.
Nene, who was fired in December 2015 in one of Zuma's notorious "midnight" reshuffles, was the first cabinet minister to appear at the Zondo commission, which is investigating allegations of widespread corruption and abuse of power during Zuma's presidency.
Nene was replaced by little-known ANC MP Des van Rooyen, whose tenure lasted four days, as the move sent the rand into a free fall and the country's borrowing costs in international markets ballooned.
Nene, who returned to the finance ministry after Cyril Ramaphosa became president in February, on Wednesday also testified about his interactions with the controversial Gupta family, friends of Zuma who are at the centre of state-capture allegations that cover everything from contracts awarded by state-owned enterprises to the appointment of ministers.
Nene told the commission how it had taken Zuma about three minutes to fire him on December 9 2015, after a marathon cabinet meeting.
Zuma had told him in Zulu about a Brics (Brazil, Russia, India, China and SA) bank job at the Africa regional centre, which was going to open in Johannesburg, and then said the top six leaders of the ANC agreed that he should be redeployed there. "The entire meeting lasted two or three minutes," he said.
Nene said Zuma made no mention of any other reasons for his removal, and he did not ask for the reasons. This was also the first and last time they spoke about the position at the Brics bank. "It is obvious that the 'deployment' to the Brics bank was a fabrication," Nene said.
Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene seemed to contradict himself when he testified at the state capture inquiry in Johannesburg on October 3 2018
"I say this because the president had no authority to offer me a position or to deploy me to a position in the Brics bank."
Nene testified that a few months before this he was accused of "insubordination" because of his refusal to sign a letter committing SA to a deal with Russia on the nuclear build programme. This was during a Brics meeting in Russia ahead of a one-on-one meeting between Zuma and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
While in Russia, Nene said he had been pressured by Zuma and then energy minister Tina Joemat-Pettersson to sign off on the deal. This was despite there being no information on the financial implications, funding model and risk mitigation strategies.
Nene said he came to be viewed as "a person standing in the way of the nuclear deal". The then international relations minister, Maite Nkoana-Mashabane, and state security minister David Mahlobo were also hostile towards him because of this.
Minutes from the cabinet meeting held the day Nene was fired show the executive had approved the energy department's nuclear proposal without a feasibility study or a phased approach to procurement.
Nene also told the commission about his interactions with the Gupta family, specifically with Ajay Gupta. He said he had met the Guptas at official government events and was aware they had a close relationship with Zuma. The first time he met them was in 2009 at a presidential gala dinner.
The following year he was invited to tour the Sahara computers offices, which he did on two occasions. Nene said he had visited the Gupta's Saxonwold home on four occasions.
He said he had become suspicious of the family's intentions in 2013 when the Treasury investigated the Estina dairy farm matter. The case relates to allegations that millions of rands destined for poor farmers were channelled to the Gupta family.

With all the fires in Northern California (my daughter was out of school for a week when her school almost burned down) a dear friend put together a website (California Fire Help) to sell work donated by artists near and far with 100% of profits being sent to Redwood Credit Union's North Bay Relief Fund. I've donated a few pieces alongside so so many talented artists. Take a moment to explore the website and support those in Northern California who have lost so much.

Surrounded by shadows, a man, imprisoned and alone, is haunted by thoughts of what's to come. Slowly, he begins to see that his is a torture beyond what he can imagine. Unseen, his captors leave him to pull himself apart with fear. The Pit and the Pendulum is a production which looks to bring to life Poe's vivid examination of the blurred line between physical and psychological suffering.

Welcome Feathered Friends into the Garden!/
Attracting songbirds to the garden brings a new level of color, sound and activity to any garden space! But, being successful in attracting these feathered neighbors means opting for a solidly packed, multi-layer landscape that has an array of plants to supply structure and food throughout the year. When designing and planting beds and borders, think both horizontally and vertically and include a range of plants, from annuals to perennials, herbs, vegetables, and grasses. For example, the seed heads of perennials and ornamental grasses draw fall ground-feeding birds and supply cover for birds as they forage on the ground. And there is nothing like sunflower seed heads to make the goldfinches chattering and happy in late summer!
· Include a Birdbath: Birds love to splash in water, so including a bird bath is a good method to attract songbirds. Place the birdbath in an open location so the birds can keep an eye on their surroundings and watch for potential predators; change the water every few days. You can even add a flat rock just above water level for a landing spot!
· Remove Nonnative Plants in Favor of Nutritious Natives: As a tool for attracting songbirds to the garden, native plants provide a balanced diet of seeds and fruits that ripen at critical times. The more natives you plant, the more insects you draw, and the more varieties of songbirds that will visit.
· Include Trees and Shrubs in Your Wildlife Garden: Trees and shrubs provide shelter from storms, hiding places from predators and supply a spot for birds to build a nest, which is helpful in attracting songbirds to the garden. Trees that bear fruits and nuts, such as flowering crabapple, also offer food to many songbirds. Include several specimens for as much variety as possible. Include at least one thorny species, such as hawthorn or rose, to provide protective perches. A few dense evergreens (juniper, spruce, yew) offer winter cover; a variety of berry-producing species such as dogwood, serviceberry, chokeberry, and viburnum provide fruit at different times in the season.
· Reduce the Size of Your Lawn: A yard with fewer square feet devoted to turf and more space with wildlife-attracting landscape will naturally have more songbirds. For native grasses, good choices for attracting songbirds to the garden include switch grass and little bluestem; cut them back once per year in early spring.
· Avoid Herbicides, Pesticides, and Fertilizers: Any of these substances can be deadly to birds and other wildlife. A better bet to attracting songbirds to the garden is to rely on biological controls for insect pests and keep weeds down by pulling them when they are small and before they have a chance to go to seed.
· Keep Cats Indoors: Your felines may want to roam, but cats cause the death of millions of songbirds each year. Your best bet for attracting songbirds to the garden is to separate the two.
· Figure out the Songbirds' Favorite Meals: To draw birds in, find a seed or food that is specific to the birds you want to attract. In addition, you'll draw a more interesting variety of birds than you would with a general wild bird blend. For help with feeders, seeds and other options, my favorite local source for help in this area is Wild Birds Unlimited, located at 20381 Mack Avenue, Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan, 48236, or look for other locations at their website.
· Maintain Bird Feeders and Birdhouses: Feeders and birdhouses are great tools for attracting songbirds to the garden, but you must keep them in good shape. Clean feeders monthly to keep free of disease-causing bacteria; use a solution of 1 part bleach to 9 parts water. Clean out and repair boxes in late winter before nesting season begins.

Top 5 Reasons Why Addicts Struggle with Early Recovery and Detox
In the early days, months, and even years of recovery from addiction, there is a time of readjustment to live without alcohol or drugs. Maintaining sobriety can be every bit as challenging as achieving it in the first place and illustrates just how the journey to recovery is a lifetime commitment.
However, it's important not to let this overwhelm you. Our team here at Capo Canyon Recovery can help make sense of the tough times ahead. By understanding what you may experience in the early days of recovery and how best to respond to it, you'll find the path to recovery becomes less riddled with obstacles. Here are the main reasons addicts find recovery difficult in the early stages:
Staying in an Enabling Environment
One of the most important – and often most difficult – aspects of your recovery is that you need to remove yourself from any friends, family, or co-workers who use alcohol or drugs. It is by staying in their company that you may find yourself led into thinking that you can get away with abusing 'just once' or that your addiction is more commonplace than it is when you surround yourself with others who are still addicted.
Anger, Depression, and Irritability
It's easy for things to get blown out of proportion in the early stages of detox and recovery but sometimes they can trigger a relapse if not managed correctly. It's all too easy to see drugs and alcohol as a way to self-medicate through the times when you're feeling intense anger or sadness in early recovery. If you expect your mind to play these tricks, you are better prepared to deal with it.
This can be particularly difficult if you have had to remove yourself from family and friends who are still abusing alcohol or drugs. There's also the 'hole' in your life that has replaced the time lost when you were on drugs or drinking, and you might find it difficult to keep yourself engaged and occupied. Try finding a new routine in small ways at first. Take yourself off for a long, brisk walk, start going to a gym, or explore altogether new activities and you'll be sure to find a lot out about yourself and what you enjoy doing.
Feelings of Joy or Celebration
Just as feeling down can trigger a relapse, if you receive some really good news or there are other exciting events going on in your life, you may feel the need to 'celebrate' by revisiting your addiction. If you prepare yourself mentally for a daily struggle against these urges as you set out on your recovery, you'll be less likely to have knee-jerk reactions like these.
One of the most common reasons for addicts struggling in the early days of recovery is lack of sleep. For many addicts, alcohol or drugs have been 'putting them to sleep' for long enough for that to become a habit in itself. It's very easy to tell yourself that you can just have enough substance to help you get to sleep but you know that it's one step towards relapse. Find other ways to help you sleep like exercise, a restful environment, or listening to music to replace the soundtrack of your thoughts.

So Where is That 37 MMcf/day IP EnCana Well?
I'm going to hazard a guess. If you can believe the map, which is a very soft assumption since it is not a very technical map, I would assume the encircled 37 is in the Thorn Lake Field in Red River Parish. If that is the case, I only find two permitted but unreported EnCana wells in that area, the Edgar Cason 12H (#239984) and the Edgar Cason 13H (#240015). The type curve for the big well was not time oriented, so it is difficult to estimate how many days it has been flowing, but I eyeball that it has produced 750 MMcf to date. Guesstimating a flow rate of 28 MMcf/day, that would imply about 27 days of data. I don't know the date of the type curve, but I assume it is fairly recent. That would imply the well was completed about 30 to 45 days ago, +/- early February. From SONRIS (which is dated) and Baker Hughes rig reports, the Cason 12H well is in-test, while the 13H was still drilling as of January 29, 2010. Therefore, I guess the boomer is the Edgar Cason 12H #1.
I hate to get all Hardy Boys on you, but I like a mystery as much as anybody else. But I reserve the right to be dead wrong, especially since I guessed that the map information was correct. Anybody else have an idea? Post a comment or email me (haynesvilleplay (at) gmail.com). Let's see if the boys in New York ask for specifics.

I am going to guess the Red River-Bull Bayou Field but there are about 5 wells that would be a potential match.

Or, it might also be a well that has already been completed. The Rex Young 21 (#239748 in S29/T14/R11), which had a reported IP of 25.7 MMcf/day. The 37 MM/day was a peak rate and the average rate might be in the upper 20's.

Robert & Les,
It is a 20 frac stage. Can you check this from other data?
- March 18, 2010 at 11:06 AM
- Robert Hutchinson said...
If you expand the search to T14- R10 and 11, looking at recent big completions and those that the DNR reports as flowing/testing/potentialed, there are several good candidates:
- Rex Young 28 (#239479) 20.4 MM, S20/T14/R11; lateral: 3,851'
- Rex Young 21 (#239748) 25.7 MM, S29/T14/R11; lateral: 4,382'
- Edgar Cason 12H (#239984), S12/T14/R11, lateral: 4,035'
- Edgar Cason 13H (#240015), S12/T14/R11, lateral: 5,112'
- Bundrick Land 36 (#239818), S36/T14/R11; lateral: 4,258'
- Rex Young 20 (#239747) S20/T14/R11; lateral: 4,645'
The two longest laterals are Cason 13 (5,112') and Rex Young 20 (4,645'). According to DNR, as of 3/4/10 the well was perf'd and it was flowing as of 3/10. Assuming those dates are actual dates and not report dates, that wouldn't be enough time to get +/- 30 days of data.
Rex Young 20 was perf'd 12/30/09 and turned to sales 1/6/10.

Our second full day in the Central Plateau was our opportunity to visit the EcoVillage school and see the progress that has been made. The first thing we noticed was the new gate and fence that surrounds the school.
Upon entering the school yard, we see the 2 new classrooms and a storeroom for the kitchen. We hear sounds of students reciting their lessons and so we quietly make our way to the school director's office making an effort not to be a disturbance.
The students are in classes from 8am-10am, and this is a good time to interview the school director, Romain Exil. We learn that the school has 172 students enrolled in grades PreK - 6th grade. The enrollment breaks down like this:
- PreK & Kindergarten - 33 students
- 1st grade - 34students
- 2nd grade - 29 students
- 3rd grade - 23 students
- 4th grade - 30 students
- 5th grade - 15 students
- 6th grade - 8 students
The two new classrooms are being used for the 5th and 6th grades.
We talked about the new video system being installed. MPP has partnered with an organization which provides instructional video systems to public schools. The organization providing the system has certain requirements, including security, which motivated the construction of the fence around the school yard. We saw the beginnings of installation of the system which will be run off solar power.
Romain was excited to hear about the book project going on now at our churches in Atlanta. He asked that the books be printed in the US and transported to the school if there is a way to do that without high shipping costs. He would like books in both Kreyol and French side-by-side, primarily for beginning readers.
We discussed the likelihood of 'nationalizing' the school, which means the government will pay the teachers' salaries and possibly other costs. The director told us that the government has provided some furniture to the school and has conducted on-site inspections. The director has worked with MPP to create a dossier for the staff and school which will be submitted to the government. He admits that nationalization is a political process but is hopeful that they can make it happen.
We presented Romain with a framed photo of the students in front of the school taken by David Diener during our April 2017 trip. He immediately sought out a spot on his office wall to proudly display the photo. We also delivered colored paper donated by Good Shepherd which was greatly appreciated.
The students break for lunch from 10am - 10:30am eating in shifts in the cafeteria. This day the kitchen staff has prepared a hot meal of beans.
The lunch break was the perfect time to get an updated photo of the student body standing in front of the school.
While Chris setup for the photo, Scott interviewed students asking about the hopes and dreams for the future. It was satisfying to be able to spend a little time interacting with the children.
After the children returned to class, we decided to tour the large garden beyond the school. We learned that the vegetable garden adjacent to the school is fallow because the ground was too wet to cultivate. We walked through the gap in the fence through which the path to the outhouse goes, then down the hill and up the next hillside to where the fields start. We walked through a field planted with sweet potato vines, then a field newly planted with moringa. We kept walking and came to a field where two men were cultivating. We were told that that land was cultivated by people in village 1. We then walked back toward the school and saw an ox, which we learned belongs to the school. We also walked through fields planted with peas.
It is wonderful to report that everything is noticeably greener and lusher that we observed on previous trips. More of the land is being cultivated, and there is no evidence that recent hurricanes provided anything other than needed rainfall.

A checkered border, ikat motifs on the body and a running stitch like weave across the entire fabric are the hallmarks of a Dubakka handwoven saree. While Dubakka is an ikat weave just like Pochampally from Andhra Pradesh is, Pochampally weavers create ikat motifs both along the warp and the weft of the the field of the fabric, whereas ikat designs are created only along the weft in a Dubakka weave.
The economy of motif is also the core of its elegance. Soft colors and dreamy ikat motifs contrasted with a dressed up, neat and tidy checkered border moves you at a visceral level. If this weave was a narration, it would tell you about its glorious past when it highly sought after and clothed millions of Indian women for years. If this weave was a report, it would also tell you that it has seen 125 weaver deaths either due to suicide or starvation in the last few years. If this weave was text, it would tell you that the weavers store a cyanide like substance in their home at all times, that they believe, will put them out of their misery quickly.
Let's give the story of Dubakka a happy ending. Let's keep those looms running. Dubakka sarees will always be in stock at the shop.

High U.S. Interest Rates of 2.25% Putting Pressure on EURO
(By Glenford S. Robinson)
EUR/USD has fallen to an all-time low of 1.1409 as of this writing. In fact, this is expected because the European Central Bank (ECB) has continued to keep interest rates to 0% while the United States Federal Bank has steadily increased interest rates, which sits currently at 2.25%. Bond investors don't like when a currency's country has low interest rates because they get less return on their investments.
A country with a high interest rate pays more to investors than countries with low interest rates. So, one will find that the countries with the lowest interest rates are usually the countries that loses the battle when their currencies compete with currencies of countries with higher interest rates.
The U.S. Federal Reserve Bank has raised the U.S. interest rate to 2.25% because the U.S. economy has been doing well (expanding) and to keep the economy from overheating, the Fed is compelled to raise interest rate to try and slow things down.
Now it is more expensive for banks to barrow money from each other and as a result barrowing slows, which intern puts a squeeze on consumers who like to take out loans for purchasing goods and services. Now, these consumers are prevented from easily getting loans. Companies that provide goods and services for these consumers to purchase are now feeling the pinch because now their sales have fallen, which directly affect the share price of their stocks on the stock market. This is the reason why the stock market does poorly by dropping to extreme lows when the interest rate is high.
The EUR/USD currency pair has fallen on hard times because investors and traders alike are selling the EURO and buying the USD. To be clear, the investors and traders who are selling the EURO belong to the professional or institutional trading category of traders, such as your investment banks and hedge funds. In fact, your average Forex retail trader is definitely not selling the EURO; he/she is buying it. This statistic is evident in the retail sentiment released by retail brokers who actually trades against retail traders who are trading on their platforms. This is also the reason why 95% of retail traders lose.
So, how far will the EUR/USD currency pair fall before there is a reversal? A reversal will occur when retail traders begin to close their long positions. This is when professional traders will initiate a reversal by steering the ship upward again away from the direction of retail traders' sentiment. This is the only way the investment banks and large hedge funds and other large funds make money. They take money from the retail trader who trades in the opposite directions from them.

23 year old, Medal winner Dani King broke five ribs and sustained a collapsed lung after being dismounted from her bike whilst on a training ride. The crash happened after a training partner hit a hidden pothole which was full of water and brought down the Olympian.
Miss King is currently recovering from her injuries in a South Wales hospital and her agent has highlighted the need for improvements on the condition of roads following the accident:
"The accident happened between Merthyr Tydfil and Quaker's Yard and what happened was one of the cyclists with who she was riding went over a pothole that was covered with water due to the wet weather we've been having.
"It led to Dani crashing off her bike with the resultant injuries she has talked about on her Twitter account. The injuries are clearly painful and serious and we can only hope she gets better soon.
"She is having fantastic treatment from the doctors and nurses looking after her and is very happy with the medical attention she's getting. It's too early to say yet when she'll be back in training and back competing.
"I think it's time local authorities in the UK started spending more money on repairing roads to ensure things like this don't keep happening. We'd like to see £10 per head of population spent on cyclists in terms of maintenance of cycle paths and roads."

Vancouver to Build First Centre for Music/
Unlike many other large cities, Vancouver has never had a centre dedicated to music creation, education and performance. That changed last week when the City of Vancouver approved the redevelopment plans for the Plaza of Nations, which includes a large music presentation centre in a high-visibility area of the development.
The BC Alliance, along with many in the creative community, voiced support for the centre, which will offer an affordable and accessible space for musicians to create and perform, and is likely to feature two performance venues, one for 325 attendees, the other for 150 attendees. The centre is the result of years of research and lobbying by Vancouver Independent Music Centre Society.
It was a good week for music in Vancouver. On July 12, the City of Vancouver approved $400,000 in funding for the music community, "recognizing the critical role music plays in the social and economic development of Vancouver." The City has also approved four recommendations to support a wide variety of small to large-scale outdoor events.

Humans are wired for connection to others. Relationships are important to us!
The feeling of being well-liked and well-loved by others - especially family, friends, and work-colleagues - is part of our innate desire to make and maintain connection with people who are important to us.
It's natural to have a handful of people in your life that you want to make proud.
However, when that handful becomes most of your phone contact list then it's likely you've adopted a people pleasing mindset. This perspective and its accompanying behaviors can quickly become detrimental to your life and physical well-being.
Is it possible to change your people pleasing behavior, stop stressing, and give up trying to make everyone else happy?
Of course!
Here are a few tips to say goodbye for good to the people pleasing way of life.
1. Recognize Your Choice in the Matter
People pleasing can be a cycle that makes you feel stuck.
Others see you as reliable and the person who will always pull through for them. But, do you often feel obligated or forced to please people the way you do? Do you feel guilt or shame about the prospect of saying "no" to requests or expectations others have for you?
One very important thing to remember is that you have a choice. You are not obligated to live just to make others happy.
Recognizing your choice will help you slow down and rethink the people pleasing cycle you are in.
2. Locate Where It All Started in the First Place
You might have wondered how you developed the people pleasing habit. Now is the time to figure out the origin of this behavior.
Were you rewarded or greatly praised for helping others as a child? Maybe you were raised by people pleasing parents and it's simply been modeled for you when you were growing up. Being a people pleasure may feel like what you "should" do or the kind of person you "need" to be.
Knowing how it got started will help you to fill areas of your life with something else, rather than continuing down the people pleasing path.
3. Figure Out Why People Pleasing is Still Rewarding to You
You can also take your origin quest a step further and determine why people pleasing is still a way of life for you.
Why do you choose to make other people happy before making yourself happy?
Are you afraid they'll be disappointed? Do you still seek the reward you were given as a child? Do you think people won't like you if you stop living up to their expectations?
Knowing why you still feel obligated to please everyone will be a big step toward ending the behavior altogether.
4. Make a Very Short List and Stick to It
As mentioned before, it's natural to want to others to care about you and be proud of you.
In your endeavor to stop people pleasing, intentionally determine whose happiness matters as much as your own. This list will likely include your partner, close friends, and family.
Everyone else will need to hear "no" from you more often from now on. Focus on those who truly love you and genuinely show them your love in return.
5. Learn to Accept Others' Negative Response
One of the most difficult parts of giving up the people pleasing lifestyle is the perceived disappointment from others.
When you first start telling people that you won't help, you might feel a little off-kilter. You might even feel like you let them down or that you are behaving selfishly.
The first few times you say "no" to a request, or don't immediately volunteer to do something for someone are always the hardest. Lean into your feelings and realize that this is a normal part of breaking the pattern. Enduring the discomfort will help you learn to establish healthy boundaries for yourself. It may be a struggle in the beginning, but it will get easier the more you practice changing your people pleasing behavior.
6. Put Yourself First
Putting your own needs first might sound selfish. It's anything but!
After all, how can you give your best to others if you're constantly drained and exhausted from ignoring your own needs?
You can't. And, that's not something anyone deserves.
It's important to take care of yourself first by establishing a healthy self-care routine. Think of it as keeping your gas tank full in your vehicle. Refuel your own tank routinely with premium grade nutrition, exercise, downtime, and rest.

Snack Time
(And a hint!)
Feeding time for the gulls on our ferry ride back from Cumberland Island. The birds had been following the boat, seemingly looking for a handout. And this fellow was happy to comply.
Umm ... doritos!
The gulls in Georgia were much more genteel then those in New Jersey. These birds were very tentative when approaching the handout. Our native birds swoop in and steal your food if you're not watching. These would come up to within inches of the chip and then veer off. Except for this one bird, which kept coming back for more.

I already had the coins and 5 colours of woodstain (suitable for being nibbled on / saliva proof). So I simply brushed a few coats of the stain on with a soft brush. I used an old dish towel as my working surface - I didn't fancy the wet coins sticking to paper or staining our nice table.
The stained coins were so pretty, I almost couldn't bring myself to write on them...
Anyhow, I let the coins dry for a few hours and then wrote on them with my white Posca marker. The ink kept sinking into the coins, so I gave the writing a few coats - leaving each coat to dry for a little while first. The white ink gradually built up.
There are 2 coins of each number. On the 1 side I have written the number and on the other there are dots for her to count and figure out what the number says. I should probably have done numbers 1-20, rather than 2 sets of 10...but how would I have fitted 20 dots on to the back!?

I was notified this morning that my photo of Two Changjiao Miao girls playing with mirrors has been shortlisted in the international competition "Travel Photographer Of The Year"
"Changjiao Miao girls"
In 2004 a photo of a young girl from the Hamer tribe in southern Ethiopia was selected as a judges` favourite and published in their book "Journey One"
" Hamar girl, Omo valley Ethiopia"
These are the comments by Juliet Coombe, photojournalist, broadcaster and editor-Get Lost
"You feel the power of Africa through the eyes of this young girl`s brilliantly framed portrait.
The picture has a feel of the great master painters and yet brings a new way of looking at tribal imagery.
The gaze is owned by the African warrior and we as the viewer are forced into a position of respect and awe of a world that is vanishing from our daily lifes. The photographer has a clear understanding of story telling, incredible technical skill and an eye for the perfect moment".
The photograph was used by Fuji Digital in the launch of the S9500 camera
The other image chosen for the book was taken in New Guinea.
The photo has been featured in several magazines and web sites as well as winning the Grand Prize in the Toronto Star photo contest. The prize package included photo software, a printer, camera, and a trip for two people to the Cook Islands.

I like the design of the holster. It is comfortable and stable.

Like many gun owners I've tried about a thousand different holsters. I live in central Florida where t-shirts, shorts and sweat are the norm. This holster is perfect for those conditions. While not the "prettiest" one I own, for my Sig P938 as my every-day-carry piece it is by far the most comfortable and concealable. Thanks!
Posted by Billy R on 17th Jun 2014
This is the best I have found to conceal on my slender frame. I vwish I had found it sooner!!!

After wearing this holster with my Ruger LC9 / crimson laser I am very pleased with the comfort and practicality of this item.
Very easy to fit to the different positions where you can wear it
Very easy to draw your weapon and with normal clothes you cannot see the weapon.
It's the best, most comfortable concealment holster I have ever purchased.
Posted by Unknown on 5th Jun 2014
This is a very comfortable holster.

Although this holster is not recommended for the Smith & Wesson
Bodyguard 380, mine fits perfectly as well as the 2 magazine pouches for the BG380. The Nude color is not pink but more of
a skin color. I'm very pleased.------Walt

I have a Smith & Wesson BodyGuard. Have been looking for a concealment holster for running. Wore holster on a recent run and it worked great! Could not even feel that I was wearing anything. Fit the BodyGuard perfect. Didn't shift or move while running. Very comfortable. I'm going to order another one for backup. Love it!!!
Posted by Unknown on 27th May 2014
I purchased this specifically for my P938 while I run, well jog. I live on a mountain and we get coyotes, raccoons as well as larger wild animals and hikers. I run with this in the appendix position. It works perfectly with little movement or bounce. It is definitely a sub compact pistol holster and would not fit a Officer sized handgun at all.
The magnetic snap also stays closed on the pouch too. Great set up. Set the size with the velcro and then use the snaps to put it on and off.
Very happy with the purchase and I researched which one of these belly bands deeply. This proved to be the right purchase for me.
See my review of the smart phone pouch too. Its not positive like this.

This is exactly the item I have been searching for. It is very comfortable and easy to use. I love it.
Posted by Rick A. on 8th May 2014
I bought this holster for my beretta nano and it fits great. It's works really good when I take my dogs out for walks and when hiking. The other reason I bought it was because I was looking for a holster to run with. Although this holster is smaller than the PT-1 and fits perfectly with the nano, the nano still bounces a little too much during my runs. I'm still working on trying to adjust it for my style of running, but so far it just bounces around too much for me to give this rating a 5. I am looking into possibly getting a second shoulder strap to reduce the movement of the gun during my runs.
