Devis Hole Mine

An excellent trip that didn't look like it was going to happen!
We had an early start and John, Gary, Ade and I met up with Rich, Nikki and Tash up near snowy Leyburn. We found that the road between Leyburn and Reeth (which the mine is near) was closed at the Leyburn end due to snow drifts, so as a last resort we headed over to the Reeth end of the road via na alternative and equally treacherous route. The road was closed from both ends, but a snowplough and gritter had just been through, so ignoring the warnings we headed up the hill.
Approaching from Reeth, you part in the obvious dirt area (well, usually dirt when not covered by 1-2ft of snow!) on the right about 500m up the road from Grinton after the hairpin bend. We got up to the parking area OK, and it was a fine day and the hills were covered with snow. We headed up towards the mine, following the main footpath (only visable thanks to the existing footprints). About 200-300m pastthe derilict building, head off the path to the right hand side down towards a cluster of small trees. Walking in this area became rather exciting, as the 1.5ft high grass had been topped with 1.5ft of snow, and so we were up to our waist in snow! A short search located the entrance, only 50m up the right hand valley with small stream past the cluster of trees.
Gary and I had done Devis with the Moldywarps the previous christmas and so we made quick progress to Pearsons sump, a 50ft ladder pitch down to the lower workings. The entrance area was a little delicate and is in immenant danger of collapse! We rigged the ladder off the variety of in-situ tat and rusty hangers, backing up many times! From the bottom we continued on along the left hand branch towards the entrance to the natural cave section. Thanks for the survey in the MSG Journal no.12 we easily navigated through the maze. We then made quick progress down to Grafitti Corner via some very dodgy areas of collapse where very delicate manoeuvering is necessary! We then turned around, as we wanted to be back in time for Laura's new year party.
As we exited at 4pm we caught the last of the daylight, however it soon darkened and started snowing again quite heavy so we hurriedly got changed in fear of getting stuck in the snow! We got down to the Leyburn to Bedale road just in time, as the snow suddenly turned torrential - another hour down Devis and we might have been spending the night down there!
A great trip, with so much more to explore while it is still accessible - the entrance probably hasn't got long left!

Kildale Mine

On a very snowy day we met up with the Scarborough guys in Stokesley for breakfast, following large amounts of snow over the previous week. We headed up towards the village of Kildale, thankfully following a tractor which was gritting the narrow road. A trudge up the hill in the snow rewarded us with an excellent mine, with extensive passages and calcite decoration. We didn't have time to fully explore, however we were underground for a good three hours. Some extreme dodgyness though!
We departed the mine at 4pm and were soon on our way down the Bilsdale road to get to Hutton-le-Hole for our Christmas meal. As we reached Helmsley the snow started coming down and it was touching-go whether we would make it over the hill and into Hutton-le-Hole! We got down to the pub around 5:30pm with the snow coming down thick and fast. Within half an hour it was confirmed to us that it was to be a one-way trip for today! After shovelling a space for our tent around the back of the pub then we hurried in to spend six hours drinking and eating!
It continued snowing for five hours, setting down a foot of snow and making camping a chilly experience. The following day was bright and sunny but very cold, with thermometers reading -14oC!!! (My frozen fingertips agreed). Thanks to a snowplough passing through during the night we were able to escape Hutton by 10am, after spending half an hour scraping the ice off car doors to allow them to be opened! We took it in turns to take a run up at the hill, with Garys heavy Laguna only just having enough momentum and grip to make it up to the highest point by the campsite, and it was downhill from there.
An excellent christmas meal!

Jean Pot
Gary, Matt E, Mark, Chad, Laura, Thomas
Matt E wrote...
After the long walk up from Clapham we quickly found Jean Pot (initially mistaking Car Pot for it, but the description of the Shake Hole in Not For The Faint Hearted is very accurate). The first pitch took a little while to rig, as it is only just below the entrance slot and required a sling with a rope protector to hang it from a very sharp flake over the pitch head.
Hard Times Crawl was nowhere near as bad as we expected. I took my SRT kit off expecting the worse, but this proved very much unnecessary, and the crawl is flat out but quite spacious tube, which reaches after a couple of minutes a drop down. An easy traverse reaches the second pitch. An obvious bolt provides the main hang, however, the flake to back-up from is unobvious, being quite high up on the right. Rope rub was inevitable, but thankfully the pitch was short and the rock was smooth.
Immediately after this the next very short pitch is reached, rigged from a tiny chockstone and a bolt approximately a metre back from the pitch head. Unfortunately the rope has no option other than to hang over the rock at the pitch head, which is sharp, and so a rope protector is absolutely essential.
The fourth pitch is equally a rigging dilemma. A small flake back from the pitch head and higher up in the rift provided a less than ideal backup, and two unusually positioned bolts near the pitch head allow for a semi-Y-hang to be rigged. Many of the blocks near the pitch head are loose, including one particularly massive block, and so great care was required. The pitch constricts a metre down due to a jammed block which gave some difficulty (jamming Lauras helmet, and forcing Gary to have to reascend and lock his stop in the descending position prior to reattempting!) and some rope rub was unavoidable.
It was obvious how the Chamber of False Promises got its name! The following slither over blocks and the crawl to the traverse seemed a lot easier on the way down without a tacklesack, however, the return journey, gradually uphill, with a tacklesack was rather more difficult with many snagging rocky outcrops and blocks. The traverse was easy thanks to the fixed line now in place (thanks ULSA!) and the formations on the ceiling around the traverse are excellent. It was saddening to see the obvious and unavoidable damage to the stal along the crawl before the traverse, and the first person down this must have seem some amazing things! In particular, extreme care was taken getting off the traverse, as some damage has already been done to the fine formations there. Thankfully the nice helictites above the traverse are out of reach and should be forever protected.
The fifth pitch was rigged, backed up from a bolt in the large chamber, and then rebelayed round a pillar at the pitch head. It could be free-climbed but was very slippy, and lead straight onto the final pitch so not advisable. The sixth pitch made for the biggest rigging dilemma of them all! A bolt and ring in the roof at the bottom of the fifth pitch provided good backup for the start of a traverse around the head of the pot to a bolt on the right which provided the main hang. Accessing this bolt involved some scary manouevers along the tiny ledge, not helped by the fine gallery of straws only centimetres above our heads (thankfully avoided). Thinking back, we probably should have rigged it with the rope going straight from the two anchors in the ceiling over the edge of the pot with a rope protector, rather than traversing round to the bolt on the right for the clear hang. The ledge part way down was too loose to use as a rebelay as suggested in the guide. Eventually at the bottom we were able to appreciate that this pitch is a fine and impressive pot.
We did not descend the seventh (final) pitch, as the only thing we could find to rig off was a very rusty ring at the pitch head - the guide suggested backing up off a jammed block, however, the only jammed blocks were forming the rock-blockage directly above out heads, and looked pretty unstable, so we decided that having seen the bottom of the cave, rather than having reached it was more than adequate.
Jean Pot was a very enjoyable dry six hours underground, with no extreme difficulty, which I would imagine to be passable in all weather condition (with the possible exception of major snow meltwater). The rigging is difficult and rope protectors are absolutely essential, and many of the bolts are rusty and completely unserviceable. An excellent winter trip, and I look forward to doing Car Pot next year.

A quite unexpectedly enjoyable trip!
I started the day with thoughts of 6 hours of tight squeezes and waterfall filled awkward pitch heads, but it was quite the opposite. There are some awkward parts and a couple of crawls but not at all as nasty as the guide book suggests.
A lovely sunny winters day made for an excellent walk up onto Ingleborough with great views of Penyghent in the crisp air. The entrance to Jean Pot is only a short way from Bar Pot and easy to find next to the wall.
Mark and I had agreed to be the rigging team so I set off first down the short entrance pitch into a roomy chamber. The first of the crawls was just around the corner so Mark and I got going while the others came down the entrance. Not knowing what the crawl was like, I decided to take off my SRT kit (Mark chanting "faff, faff, faff†in my ear wasn't helping). As it happened, the crawl was quite roomy and I could have done it with my kit on.
The crawl ends with a short drop down an easy free-climb into a rift with another short pitch. As seems to be the case with all the caves we do, the rigging was 'interesting' with the backup for the second pitch being the end of the rope hooked onto a small flake. I set off down asking mark to make sure the backup didn't fall off as I was going!
The others had caught up to us by then so Mark and I carried on rigging the second rather dodgy pitch. I tied the backup onto a totally loose chock-stone in a heavily cracked roof and pulled the rope out of the tackle sack. Unfortunately the string broke holding the spits to the bag and the whole lot went down the pitch! After some thought about using Mark as an anchor, I thankfully found a spit attached to my harness. We got to use one of our shiny new rope protectors on this pitch so I was happy.
After picking up all the dropped spits from the boulder choke, Mark and I carried on to the next, larger pitch. In order to get a free hang, we had to use a rather rusty in-situ ring over the pitch head but it did its job. A tight initial descent landed in the large Chamber of False Promises. A slither over some blocks entered an impressive tall aven before the second crawl.
The second crawl was a bit more awkward than the first but with some impressive formations throughout. This lead to the traverse over the blind pit which had recently had new rings and rope installed. More great formations before the next muddy slope/pitch to the top of a balcony overlooking a large chamber. A very strange bolt location meant we had to take a lot of care not to damage formations in the roof but we made it down.
Mark and I went off to look at the last pitch but decided that the area was too loose and we couldn't find a suitable backup so we gave up at that point. Well, we'd SEEN the bottom! :p
Back out with SRT kit on all the way was quick progress. We were met with a very cold and clear evening on Ingleborough and seemed to make friends with a bat before heading off for some food.
Highly recommended trip, not sure about 'a good evening trip' though, as the guidebook suggests!

Lost Johns Pot
Gary, Matt E, Chad, Ade, Laura
Matt E wrote...
A pleasant trip down Lost Johns following Boxhead being too wet at the bottom of the entrance aven. We got down to the meeting point for all routes (via Centipede and Catherdral routes) where we swapped routes for the journey out, reaching the surface after only a couple of hours underground. It was a nice jaunt and was just long enough and just enough exercise to justify our Inglesport breakfasts!

Spectacle Pot - Vesper Pot (not quite an exchange!)
Gary, Matt E, Chad, Thomas, Chuck, Mark
Matt E wrote...
After a leisurely breakfast at Helwith Bridge we made our way down to Kingsdale for a Vespers - Spectacle exchange. Chad, Tom, Gary and I were on Spectacle and Mark, Cat and Chuck on Vespers. We arrived at our respective entrances around 1pm ready for action!
The entrance pitch to Spectacle is pleasantly easy, although the knob of rock to rig off requires a close eye to make sure the sling stays on there! The pitch lands in a small chamber with a rift leading downwards into the distance, littered with several sheep bones (one skull placed high up in the rift for dramatic effect). Very soon (after only around 20 m) Splutter crawl was reached. We expected this to be a flat out wet bedding, however, to our surprise, it was actually a tiny tube at floor level, barely body size, for approximately 4-5m. It really does look frignteningly small!
Gary pushed on into the crawl, one arm forward, one arm back to streamline his bones, and with SRT kit pushed ahead with the tacklesack. On several occassions he nearly lost his nerve but after a couple of minutes struggling he slipped through to the ladder which he descended head first! I nervously adopted the position ready to come along the crawl. I initially tried to go along with both arms ahead outstretched but there was no chance this was going to work! I retreated from the crawl and repositioned my arms, one forward, one back, ready for my second attempt. This seemed to work well, however, once into the tighted part, all you could do was propel yourself with little pushing motions of your feet. You are totally constricted at this point and movement of your arms, torso or head is completely impossibly - it's down to wiggles of your feet only to push you through, literally half a centimeter at a time. After a terrifying few minutes it opened up slightly before the ladder. The head-first descent seemed a breeze by comparison!
To add insult to my struggled, Tom then slipped through and barely touched the sides, popping out with his infamous comment of 'that wasn't too bad'! Maybe I need to go on a diet!
Gary rigged the next pitch, although as one of the spits was knackered, it was a one-bolt wonder backed up off the ladder (which itself would not have fitted down the pitch). The short pitch lands in a chamber, yet more bones from unfortunate woolley friends. A short flat out crawl reaches a flow of water followed by a shorter easier section to a large aven where SRT gear could be removed ready for the crawl ahead.
The following crawl was approximately 30-40m long, constricted, wet, and very sharp and jagged, very unpleasant indeed, involving a complete soaking and many tacklesack jammings! However, our guidebook estimated 6-8 minutes, and so I was relieved after only a couple of minutes of struggling to see Garys light ahead say at the end of the crawl just prior to Dodds pitch.
Dodds pitch provided some rigging dilemmas. We were unable to locate the rebelay bolt one metre down, and so Gary descended without it. However, while swinging around looking for the deviation about 15-20m down, the rope started rubbing badly at the pitch head. I had to perform a constricted pitch head manoeuver (the pitch is reached flat out) to remove my kneepads and jam them between the rope and the wall where it was rubbing, and Tom then held them in place. Gary slowly ascended back up and we finally found the rebelay to avoid the rub. He then descended and after much searching, the less than ideal (given the crumblyness of the walls) deviation flake was found.
We could hear the others by now and assumed they were already down at the Great Rubble Heap waiting for us... we didn't want to miss the exchange (I was looking forward to a nice easy trip out of Vespers) so we hurried to the head of the pitch to the Great Rubble Heap which was easily descended and saw the other group rigging the last pitch of Vespers above.
Unfortunately, one of the spits at the top of the Vespers pitch was knackered, and could not be tightened - and so all that was availably to rig off was one less than perfect spit and a dodgy natural as a backup. Mark made the sensible descision not to descend, and so we were faced with the prospect of a painful trip back up Spectacle, which actually didn't seem so bad on the return.
We returned to the surface still with daylight at around 6pm, feeling pleased to have bottomed this difficult cave! The others were only minutes behind in coming out of Vespers. This was a great trip, would love to complete the exchange once the final pitch of Vespers has been P-hangered.

Penyghent Pot
Gary, Matt E, Ade, Chuck
Gary wrote...
I don't think you can call yourself a Yorkshire caver (or probably even a caver) until you've done Penyghent Pot! It defiantly lives up to its name as the finest stream passage pot in the UK.
The day started with the usual faff in the name of Ade who couldn't set off from Macclesfield until 9am because his car insurance had run out. This and some other faff meant we didn't get on our way to the cave until 1pm. Car parking seems to be a problem with no clear instructions on where is best in any of the guides, however we asked the nice lady at the farm at the end of the footpath and she let us park there. Off up the hill in wonderful sunshine (for a change) to arrive at the entrance for about 2pm. It's a bit late we thought, but we gave it a go anyway.
I set off first to face the long entrance crawl. It wasn't as bad as I had been lead to believe; although up to the elbow in water, it's quite spacious and easy going, just long. Some light relief at the head of the first short pitch with a descent down an unavoidable waterfall, then some annoying stooping height passage. I went off to rig the next pitch which I thought the description had said was 10 meters away. No, I miss read it, it was 10 MINUETS away! Quite easy going stooping passage to the second short pitch then just around the corner to the head of the spectacular third pitch. Some quite interesting and awkward rigging under the ledge to get a dry hang but an amazing deep shaft with water crashing down on one side. The bottom was one of the drafyist places I've ever been underground and got rather chilly waiting for the others.
More fine stream way starting with some traversing and several more short pitches. At this point the bolting seems to have gone out of the window and most stuff is just rigged off some rather dodgy looking naturals, often in waterfalls! After a while we were rewarded by some amazing dark coloured streamway which seemed to eat our lights. Some quite deep water leads onto the final couple of short pitches before we ran out of time. We didn't quite make it to the sump but used all the rope and completed all 10 pitches.
In summery, this is a truly great Yorkshire pot with some great variation and fun rope work. It is quite wet however. We were there is pretty dry weather and the water was unavoidable. Most people found a neo-fleece idel but I was in a cheap 3mm wet suit which I found worked well. There is defiantly evidence of major flooding in the lower sections, with several passages we passed through that had sumped recently.
I would love to go back and tackle Friday the Thirteenth series now that I know the main part. This would be a strenuous trip though as we were all knackered after just the trip to the sump. Make sure you leave enough energy for the return trip as we all found the crawls at the entrance a lot harder on the way out.

India has to give up its tortoise culture and adopt the eagle culture to meet the challenge of liberalisation and globalisation of its economy.
Tortoise culture is withdrawal into ones own shell and revelling in its comfort, contentment and security. On the contrary eagle culture is spread of aggressive ideas smacking of a killer instinct. In its very nature tortoise culture is long lasting. Undisturbed by external developments while the eagle culture is constantly exposed to external dangerous and is comparatively short-lived.
A tortoise lives for a couple of hundred years if food is available to it within a short range of a mile or two while the life span of an eagle is hardly about 30 to 40 years.
The very nomenclatures of the two types of culture are symbolic of their character and give a clue to the longevity of Indian civilization while all other contemporary cultures have long ceased to exist, according to the celebrated Management Guru, Sharu Rangnekar.
There was a time in the hoary past of Indian civilization when it was dominated by the eagle culture and the message of its rich heritage, arts and industry spread far and wide. Indians were then outgoing, seafaring and spread their influence almost all around the globe.
But the eagle culture is not a one-way traffic. While it exports ideas it also brings in foreign ideas. They can at times be dangerous. As it happened in India in its chequered history, resulting in foreign invasions and alien rule, culminating eventually in the East India Company and British domination over the entire subcontinent.
It led to a transformation of the dynamic eagle culture into the self-protecting, self-preserving tortoise culture. It was epitomized by Mahatma Gandhis concepts of village economy. Self sufficiency, rural upliftment, sarvodaya, antyodaya and the like. Contentment was the corner stone of the Gandhian economy and philosophy. Needs must be fulfilled but wants must be minimized.
In such a scheme of things there was no problem of unemployment. A carpenters son, for instance became a carpenter. He confined himself to the village and nursed no ambitions. When there were more sons they shared the work however limited it was. They shared their prosperity as well as poverty. There was under employment. However there was contentment in the collective security of the family and village life. The nature of work was also simple, uniform, and unimaginative in all the avocations with very little scope for improvement or innovation.
The one single merit of the tortoise culture was stability. The much needed stability to preserve and protect ones traditional culture in the face of alien ideas. But it also invariably led to stagnation.
Jawaharlal Nehru did not like the Gandhian philosophy and much less the Gandhian economy. Gandhi said ministers must live in small houses and shun pomp and show, and convert Raj Bhavans into public hospitals. Nehru did not believe in it. When he became Prime Minister he promptly moved into the biggest available house-- the British Commander in Chiefs mansion at Teen Murti in Delhi.
Nehru was an admirer of Stalin and Communism which he euphemistically called socialism. The farmer is the biggest capitalist in the world. He is ready to give up his life for his land. His attachment to his miserable one acre of land is far more intense than possibly Ratan Tatas to TISCO.
Stalin had to shoot down tens of thousands of farmers to introduce collective farming in the (erstwhile) Soviet Union. But Nehru, essentially a liberal intellectual, could not persuade himself to do it in India.
The essence of Nehruvian economy was central planning, public sector and self reliance to scale and achieve commanding heights of national economy. He thought ideal employer-employee relations would achieve wonders for national development and progress. He declared that hoarders, black marketers and profiteers must be hanged from the nearest trees. Perhaps there were not enough trees for the purpose!
Despite its initial glamour and some advantages Nehrus economic policy did not work. Just as Communism failed in the Soviet Union too.
So resort to liberalization, globalization and market economy in the march of Indias development and progress became inevitable. And whoever was at the helm of (economic) affairs was bound to change tracks whether it was Narasimha Rao, Manmohan Singh or anyone else.
The change of tracks entails a transition from tortoise culture to eagle culture. Such a transition is an absolute necessity to meet the challenges of free economy and global market that would soon lead to chaos, as the famous management expert, Tom peter, has predicted, in the new world order in which anyone can buy and sell anything from anywhere at any price. Productivity Quality and innovation have to be the new watchwords and practiced ruthlessly both for survival and progress. Opportunities have to be watched, anticipated and seized like an eagle.
Unfortunately most of us want to improve or import new technologies because we dont want to innovate ourselves for fear of losing ones privileges. The tortoise culture has an inbuilt resistance to change and innovations. The key personnel of the older generation with its privileged perks will always resist innovations of the younger entrants into the industrial structure for fear of loss of face or prestige. The young engineer, who works on the machine on the shop floor, is better equipped to develop bright new ideas and to innovate and take away all the credit than his boss who sits in the room and works on the paper and frowns upon innovations because of his own self-serving interest and preservation.
Even so the future belongs to those who anticipate and innovate at least a few year ahead of others in the challenging competition that stares the new world. And in this, industrial engineers have a vital role and responsibility to discharge.
It is like the ten year old boy who readily sets right a flickering television set, brushing aside his mother or grand mother who fiddles with it without success.
In the fierce global competition and automation the organizational structure of an industrial concern has itself to change radically. The levels of administration and authority have to be reduced drastically.
This article is based on a scintillating extempore speech of the renowned Management Guru, Sharu Rangnekar, at a meeting of the Institute of Industrial Engineers in Bhopal in August 1995.

Commando Scale Artwork
Mission Scale Artwork
We've been very lucky to come across some exclusive artwork for the Sigma 6 cartoon, and we'd like to share it here with you. There are some pretty cool designs for some upcoming new B.A.T.'s and some designs you've probably seen before:
The standard B.A.T. without and with wings
The recognizable Ninja B.A.T. and Overkill's supreme weapon, Overlord Vector
Unknown; possibly heavy armored B.A.T.s?
Another mysterious unknown B.A.T.
The mech based on the COBRA Pulverizer. Perhaps the never-released "CLAW Mech"?
Saw glipses of this in the promo art from the Convention, but here's a more close up picture. What is it? If anyone knows, they're not talking!
The ever-popular H.I.S.S., although in a different color scheme
And of course, we have the trusty Sigma 6 team as well:

It's because of you who have been following along that Organized Neatly is now Celebrating Year 2. Thank you, thank you, friends! If you're new here, welcome! My goal is to offer you weekly organizing and decorating tips, ideas, and inspiration along with DIY projects tutorial as I do a makeover of our home one room at a time so; I hope you come back to check every week.
Organized Neatly's inception served as my journal as I transition to the next season of life. When my youngest sister passed away in 2016 from breast cancer at the age of 33, she left two young boys. Long story short, my husband and I are committed to taking care of these boys the best we can. After almost three years of waiting, we had been immigration approved last March this year. So, we are getting closer. We are optimistic that it will be very soon that we'll be welcoming them at home.
A few months after I started this blog, I realized that although I'd like sharing budgeting tips, my passion is truly in reaching out to women and form a community where I can talk about organizing, and decorating alongside DIY projects which came on time when we bought our first house in the summer of 2017. It's a clean slate 4-bedroom/ 3-bathroom house which I slowly turned into a home.
As I tackle one project at a time and share it on social media- on Instagram in particular, the community is eager to learn where I get the items that I use be it an organizer or home decor or even a power tool. Over this time, I've been sharing tips, ideas, and inspiration for creating a beautifully organized home every season. A minimalist style inspired who believe in finding a balance between less and more. I want to be able to reach as many women as possible to join the community and learn from each other as well as share resources which made my journal turned into a business.
New Logo. After a few versions of the logo, I'd be happy to share with you the most current once it's finalized. It'll be one that sends the message of what Organized Neatly is all about. It's about creating a beautifully organized home every season.
New Website Design. Remember I mentioned a few times that my style is minimalist inspired? You sure can see in the next few days what I'm talking about. I'll also be adding a library of free resources to help you get started with your organizing projects. Stay tuned!
Subscription Box. Last week I officially introduced the Organized Neatly Box. It's a seasonal subscription featuring 6-8 full-size high-quality and functional organizers and home decors deliver right to your doorstep. It's my way of offering resources to women who despite a busy schedule refuse to let go of creating a beautifully organized home every season. Subscribe as a Founding Member here.
We are taking Pre-order for Founding Members now. Get $10 off your first box when you subscribe today! Only 100 spots are available.
Did I also mention that you can find Organized Neatly Box in the Cratejoy Marketplace Listing? You can subscribe here. Be sure to share this with your family and friends.
YouTube Channel. With the updates that I've already mentioned above, having a YouTube channel makes sense. Stay tuned for Organized Neatly TV launching next month! It's going to be fun. I'll be sharing organizing and decorating tips, ideas, and inspiration alongside unboxing seasonal Organized Neatly Box. I'm still deciding if I'd also include a few DIY projects tutorial. I'll be sure to let you know then.
I'll end this post by saying that creating a beautifully organized home every season is possible. Yes, even with a busy schedule! And yes, even with a tight budget! That's why I created Organized Neatly Box, a seasonal subscription that will do the work for you. No more spending hours on Amazon or at the stores trying to find high-quality and functional organizers and home decors.
In the comments below, let me know what your thoughts are.

1. Algorithmic Trading Is Getting A Bad Rap by Tom Basso, November 28, 2018 We've heard it every time that stock market takes a serious hit. "Those Algos are at it again" or "Algos are bad because they are creating more volatility in the markets." Any time any of us creates strategy on Excel or a Trading Blox or similar platform s, you become an Algo. You are simply taking your own inventory of yourself (capital, skills, resources, available time) and creating something you hope will lead to what you deem success. I have 50+ years of trading experience, computer skills, math skill s and am retired. My measure of success is to trade for capital preservation while increasing the value of my assets. Sleeping at night is important to me. Others might opt for more leverage and "action" with larger overall profits. Still others might shoo t for more reliability, looking to be more right than wrong in trade success. Some might like to trade with the trend, other might fade the trend. There's something for every taste and style here in the world of trading . Algorithms are nothing more than th e mathematical representation of the opinions and desires of th e person creating the algorithm. I do agree that Algos have helped the market move more quickly, but I don't believe that is due to the algorithm as much as it is the more efficient execution o f the algorithm designers' opinions and biases. When I started automating my strategies back in the Trendstat days, I was proud to have a very new IBM PC in 1980 that was more powerful than anything I could get my hands on before. Today, my phone has more RAM and computing capabilities. I'm now running a laptop that fits in
2. my backpack for traveling that has 64 gigabytes of RAM, a quad processor and 2 tetra bytes of disk storage for $2800! Let's go back into the time machine and look at what was happening when I graduated from Clarkson University back in 1974 as a chemical engineer . That was the end of a two - year bear market. Stocks had fallen by roughly 50% from the highs. The Wall Street Journal was printing opinions about how far the market had to go do wn to reach the bottom. When the New York Stock Exchange had more than 10 million shares traded, they broke out the champagne. Fast forward to 2018 and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P500) exchange traded fund (etf) , ticker SPY , routinely trades 200 mi llion plus shares in a day! This single ticker can easily trade more than 20 times the amount traded on the entire NYSE back in 1974 ! So is it the algorithm that is causing it , or the fact that in every part of our life computers and fast communications h ave allowed the world to move faster ? In 1974, it took two years to beat up investors enough with a bear market to cause investors to adopt the attitude: "Stocks are risky and I'm never going to get into them again". Nowadays, computers allow the market t o move so fast that the same amount of pain can be inflicted more quickly with a similar attitude being adopted by those who didn't manage their risk well . And the other side of it, and something you'll never hear the public complain about, is the A lgos ma ke the up markets happen more quickly as well. So, do the Algos get credit during bull markets? Nothing changed with the psychology of the situation. Traders will still be traders. There will still be excessive optimism at market tops and excessive angst a t market bottoms and trading will go on. Algorithms and the traders running them are simply getting a bad rap.

Most businesses use social media, however only one in four have a proper strategy for taking advantage of it.
And this means missing a huge opportunity.
With over 1.5 billion people using social media world-wide, it is too big to ignore and too important to leave to chance.
Done correctly, social media can be a cornerstone of your success.
Platforms including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube offer a unique opportunity to build a following of dedicated fans. Having their attention on social media, and creating a presence which boosts your reputation, gives you a huge advantage.
The key is choosing which platform to be found on, and how to strategically use each one for maximum impact and exposure. This is why companies, marketers and advertisers choose 360DMG to manage their social media presence.

March 1st, 2017 in Recruitment
So you wrote a killer CV and landed yourself an interview. Now what?
Do your research
Knowing more about the place you've applied at will help you prepare thoroughly for interview day. It'll show that you're keen to work there, and it'll mean you can tailor your responses to show how your experience and skills will fit with your potential new place of work. If you'd like a career with us, find out more about what we, at Home Group, do.
Be prepared
There's nothing as stress-inducing as being late and/or getting lost. Make sure you know where you're going and have plenty of time to get there.
The internet is awash with lists of interview questions, ranging from 'tell me about yourself' to 'what cartoon character would you be and why?'. Take a look at the most commonly asked ones and think about how you would answer them.
Take a copy of your CV, a notepad, a pen, and anything else you have been asked to bring. This may be your proof of right to work or a portfolio.
Dress to impress
First impressions count, so make sure you look the part. Whether an informal chat or an interview with a panel, make sure you're dressed smartly. People want to know you've made an effort and the role is important to you.
All your hard work will mean nothing if you don't smile. Apart from being welcoming and helping you project confidence, research shows that smiling actually reduces stress.
Ask a question
There is often time at the end of interviews to ask questions, so it's best to prepare some in advance. Interviews are the exception to the rule of 'there's no such thing as a silly question'.
You could ask something specific to the role, like 'what can I expect from the company in terms of development', or ask something about the company as a whole like 'how would you describe the culture in the company?'
Be positive
Always end the interview on a high. Tell your interviewer you look forward to hearing from them, wish them a good day or weekend.
At Home Group
We don't ask any curveball questions. We shape our interviews around our four values, and we'll ask you things like:

The great (and sometimes intimidating) part about computer security is it's such a broad and ill-defined field. This post shares some tips to help build this passion and lists several resources to start you on this journey. The post was original created for my new hacking club so geared towards novices with limited to no experience, but the content is useful even for those with a CS/IT background trying to get into the computer security field.
Skip past my philosophy to the foundational skills or even just to the hacking resources
Passion is key (
Hacking = Life)
The great (and sometimes intimidating) part about computer security is it's such a broad and ill-defined field. As such, just about anything you want to do can be defined as
hacking - it is simply creatively using technology to solve problems. The real key to longevity is this field is passion (solving problems that interest you), and you below are a few tips to help build this passion.
Have fun
Simply put, either work on projects that are tangibly rewarding or do stuff that is fun. Many of the resources listed below use game mechanics to teach cyber security (i.e. gamification). You will find yourself learning seemingly by accident while having fun, and it prevents you from being overwhelmed by the enormity of the field. Remember, you do NOT need to be an expert in everything.
Become part of the community
Another important aspect to developing this passion is becoming a part of something greater than yourself. The hacking community is scary at times but also amazing. There are many ways to be involved from hacking clubs (like this one!)1 to conferences2 to online forums3. Being involved involved in a group and the culture keeps you accountable and motivated to learn.
Seek help!
Finally, seek help to avoid becoming frustrated. Resilience is important, but it's more important early on to simply make progress. These challenges can be difficult. Many of have been around a while and have great published solutions (write-ups); it is not cheating to read these reports if stuck. My initial rule-of-thumb is to seek help after 30 minutes of not making progress. Many of the below games actually have built in hints, and you can [should] use these immediately. I also read write-ups after solving a problem to learn new tools or approaches to the same problem. Try not to start with the write-up, but do not be afraid to get help to build and maintain that momentum in the beginning.
Two Foundational Skills
While there is a wealth of different security fields, gaining some basic understanding of programming and a familiarity of Linux command line operations are two fairly important foundational skills that will help you in any security arena. You do not need to be a programming expert or command line ninja, you just need enough familiarity to know where to start. Instead of taking class or reading books, I strongly recommend active learning through gamification (the use of a game to teach a skill).
Hour of Code4 is a great place for an introduction to programming. It literally will take you an hour and introduces you to some the main concepts of coding like loops. CodeCombat (a game) and CodeAcademy (more traditional learning) are also great resources.
CodeAcademy and DjangoGirls both provide pretty low level introductions to the command line, and OverTheWire's Bandit is the go-to command line game.5
The Gamification of Cyber
Sticking with the having fun theme, there are a ton of resources available that have turned cyber security into a game. These games are generally called CTFs (Capture-the-Flags Competitions) and come in type same types, Jeopardy-style or Attack-and-Defend. Below I list several CTF resources, and these are good places to start if you just want to dive in to hacking. My favorite resource is picoCTF. This is a CTF for High School students (anyone can play though). This site is so great because it provides all the tools you need (i.e. there is no setup required by you), has many simple yet fun challenges, and gives you useful hints on what to research if you are stuck on a problem. You might want to start with 2017 since 2018 is still live (i.e. no write-ups) but either version is great. Listed below are some other good resources.
How to Guides:
- PicoCTF Resources (the Learning Guides and Video Tutorials)
- Trail of Bits' CTF Field Guide
- LiveOverflow's introductory videos (reversing focused - his channel is a great resource in general).
- John Hammond (RootOfTheNull)'s wargame writeups (PicoCTF / OverTheWire)
- Ippsec (these are Pentesting via. HackTheBox.eu focused)
- Best Initial Introduction:
- picoCTF 2018 (A great HighSchool focused CTF. PicoCTF 2017 is also great)
- OverTheWire (Bandit [command line] and Natas [web] are great starts)
- RunCode (Programming Focused)
- A Little more Difficult:
- HackCenter
- Engima (Free for all)
- CyberStakes 2015, 2016, and 2017 (Free for .mil)
- CyberStakes 2018 (Great CTF - Free for .mil)
- Microcorruption (Reversing Focused)
- Immersive Labs (Free with .edu)
- Holiday Hack 2016-2018 (This is a ton of fun w/ the most amazing write-ups)
- Google Beginner CTF
- HackCenter
- PenTesting (applied actual system exploitation):
- Meetup is a great place to local hacking clubs in your area. There are a ton of groups to fit whatever topic or seriousness you want. openToAll is a good team to join if you cannot find a local group. [return]
- Your local B-Sides is a great place to start since the intimidation level and cost are both relatively low. Bigger name conferences like DEFCON, DerbyCon, and ShmooCon are also great but more intimidating (and getting tickets can be hard). [return]
- Finally, being exposed to what is going on in the community is also important. My favorites are SlashDot, Netsec, and Ars Technica, but these are more technically focused boards. [return]
- There are a ton of versions of HoC here. I just linked the original (Angry Birds) but you can choice whatever (Frozen and Star Wars are my kids' favorites). [return]
- You will need to be able to SSH into this system (here are instructions for Windows and Mac). We will go over this in the club if it's intimidating. [return]

Debra helped us buy our waterfront home and we could not be happier with our experience. From the very first time we contacted Debra to the day we picked up our keys, we felt confident, comfortable, and happy to be working with her.
Debra stopped when she had seen that we had put our house on the market. She was very through and took photos & did a virtual tour to put online. She Scheduled an open house 1 week after we met with her and she sold our home THAT DAY! If you want a Realtor that will stay on top of the sale of your home we would highly recommend Debra Parker and her team!
Since i have bought & sold many properties over the years, I have come to expect realtors vying for a listing to be long on promises and more times than not short on their delivery against such promises. Our meeting with both Debra & Alicia concerning the listing of our property covered all the typical bases one would expect from a discussion with a Realtor with one significant difference. During our meeting, my wife and I both were reminded of the bold and aggressive mindset regarding Debra's approach to marketing area real estate that sets Debra apart from all others we had met with. In the trying real estate marketplace I feel that we are in, to stand out, get property noticed, and ultimate move it, is harder than ever to do. I believe above all, to have it rooted in what we saw as a relentless focus to sell our property. Debra we appreciate and thank you for the energies and efforts you and Alicia expended on our behalf with the sale of our property and wish you continued success.

Look closely at the benches under this little structure. And the book library! Put that cell phone away and pick up a real book.
The Children's Garden
Last week when I stopped by the University Idea Garden, I found some beautiful plantings, but none inspired me like this one. A whole garden for children! How wonderful!
Look closely at the benches under this little structure. And the book library! Put that cell phone away and pick up a real book.
This bird bath rabbit is perfection.
This book worm is such a great height for tiny helpers!
When the kids decide they don't want to garden anymore?
There's always sand box and tic tac toe.
Have an artist in the family? Why not let them paint your garden structures?
And finish off the path with their handmade stepping stones.
The garden is a wonderful teacher. If we're lucky we will spend our whole lives learning the lessons of Mother Nature. Why not get started in childhood?
Share your garden inspiration pictures with us! We'd love to see your ideas!

Hi, I'm Sue Pranskus, and this is my sometime blog. It's mostly about my attempts to "green-up" my life. On our little farm we experiment with livestock, gardening, building, repurposing and anything else that we find interesting. Born and bred on the West Coast, I am living in the Midwest by choice, not circumstance. I have built a life based largely on core values and loosely on whimsy. It's that whimsy, though, that gets me in trouble every time!

I've shared a couple of small bathrooms with a number of people over the years. Growing up, my sister and I shared a small bathroom. In college, I shared a small bathroom with 3 other roommates. And our first year of marriage, I shared a VERY small bathroom with my husband. The struggle is real.
The struggle is SO real that, when we were looking at homes to purchase, one of my prayers was for double sinks in the master bathroom. Can I get an "amen"?! And here's where I say that God really does have a sense of humor: the home we purchased actually had double sinks in the master bathroom AND the guest bathroom!
I know many of you have the same struggles with a small bathroom, so when Zoe Clark contacted me about this article, I knew there were lots of you who would find it helpful! And she's got some fantastic ideas! Take it away, Zoe!
People who live in small flats should definitely not go throwing in random accessories, especially not in their tiny loos. If your bathroom feels like a matchbox and you cannot afford to move to a bigger home, check out these six simple tips on how to organize your miniature toilet area and make its modest dimensions work to your advantage.
Keep only the essentials
A common problem with bathrooms, both large and small, is that homeowners tend to get carried away with the quantity of belongings they keep there. Just like the rest of your home, your bathing area should be free of clutter and equipped with functional essentials. Go over the items you have in your bathroom and donate or throw away anything you do not truly need. Also, be careful when shopping for bathroom staples and opt for cleaning liquids designed for multiple surfaces to avoid accumulating a range of disinfectants which work with one type of material only.

Dollar General bandit, car thief still sought
West Point Police think a robbery suspect may have scouted out his target before striking Sunday night. Fortunately, clerks realized what was happening and got away before the armed bandit could harm them or get money at the Dollar General on the eastern edge of West Point.
Meanwhile, police continue to search for a man suspected of stealing a car last Wednesday morning not long after being released from jail. That man, Herman McGee III might be in Alabama, police say.
The masked armed robbery, dressed in all black with a red bandana of some kind covering his face, hit the Dollar General at about 9:46 p.m. Sunday as the business was preparing to close.
Assistant Police Chief Kennedy Meaders said one clerk walked out of the business and the bandit walked in behind her.
As he was approaching the counter, the other clerk saw him and realized what was happening and ran toward an office in the back of the store. She reached the office and managed to get the door locked before the robber could get to her. A customer who was in the store also managed to escape without being detected.
The robber was frustrated because the cash register was locked and the staff already had begun to lock away the money.
"He might have scouted the business and thought he knew the routine," Meaders said of the suspect.
He is described as a black male, wearing black hoodie, black Adidas pants, black shoes, and a red mask covering the face. He did display a weapon.
He ran from the store to the east, which is the same direction from which he entered. Police aren't sure whether he had a car parked nearby or had someone waiting for him.
"If people see something that looks out of place, call us and let us check it out. The same for businesses, call us and let us come check or give an escort," Meaders said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Golden Triangle Crime Stoppers at 1-800-530-7151 or the West Point Police Department at (662) 494-1244.
Meanwhile, residents of Vernon and Detroit, Ala. in Lamar County reported seeing Herman McGee there late last week asking for a "back way" to Tuscaloosa, Ala.
McGee is wanted for stealing a black 2011 Chrysler 300 from an apartment on Cul-de-Sac Street either late Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. It was reported stolen Wednesday morning. McGee apparently managed to get the keys while the owner was at another location where McGee was.

Name: Station 113-B
Description: A station drifting out in empty space. It's a large metal structure, made up of advanced materials and a whole lot of tubing. The signs on the walls all seem to be written in a strange form of Russian which utilizes some weird, unfamiliar characters. The general color scheme of the place is white and red, and everything is a bit dingy. The station consists of a main control pod, a living quarters, a research pod, and a docking bay of some sort. There are some very advanced space suits in the docking bay which can be used to go outside. The stars don't correspond to any known position in space, and there are no significant bodies anywhere in sight.

Quotes from our previous competitors:
"Big thanks to Colin and his team at King's Lynn, yet again a challenging day's sport, so a great thanks to the set up/down crews, all marshals, radio, timekeepers, some pretty busy recovery crews, 2nd again, must try harder the next time, although we gave it plenty today" Don
"Great event, superbly run. Thanks to all in Team Birkin. Felt an honour to be there on what I think is Rays last event. Leigh and Tom had a good run, shame Rob Lowes last moment problem robbed them of a pot!" Murph
"Great event, well ran and the stages were really enjoyable, so much more than your average airfield with a bit of everything for everyone! We had a great day, with Richard not having driven the car for 10 months, to come away with 3rd O/A was great! :) well done to Ross and Paul on the win! Big thanks to the organisers and marshals for making the event run so swiftly!" Andy
"Another great event put on by KLDMC. This is not a typical airfield event, thanks to all organisers, marshals and services, PS very quick turnarounds, no hold ups, well done. Also noted was the very high driving standards, everyone I came across was very considerate and pulled over when they got caught, thanks. To bag 7th overall and 1st in class topped off an enjoyable weekend. Cheers!" Andrew
"What a brilliant event. Well organised, only one or two slight delays - but to be expected with such long laps! Always a pleasure to share the stages with some real talent and be able to follow and learn from them." Anon
"Colin and his team continued their reputation for putting on a demanding event. Fast corners that you could attack and technical bits to keep you tidy. Just what rally crews want. I would again like to thank everyone involved in the running of this event, it made for a great day. We will be back!" Ross
"Had a really good day in the little 1.3 Micra. The battle with David and Paul Smalley lasted all day which made for some great fun. Might of been a bit closer if not for a slipping clutch on the last stage. Stages were excellent with varied sections for every type of car and driving style" Jonathan
"Had a great event, loved the stages. Tight and twisty just how we like them. Slippy in places, abrasive in others but slickly run event and thoroughly enjoyable. Nice finish to a good season. Thanks to all at KLDMC and all the marshals that braved the cold wind on the airfield" Anon
"The BEST single venue rally. Thanks and well done to all at KLDMC and marshals" CBW
"I agree, whether slippy or dry the best single venue event, and all that mileage!" Norasport

What makes you angry?
Most of us don't have the tools to manage strong emotions. And anger is one of the strongest us humans experience. Anger can be scary, both when it rises within us and when we're on the receiving end of someone else's rage. Channelled correctly, though, it's one of our most powerful teachers.
This guide will help you understand this powerful emotion. Learn to do anger well and use your powers for good!

The Fallout 4 collector's edition will come packaged with an actual Pip-Boy. The Pip-Boy has a phone slot for the screen so you can insert your phone. Bethesda is also releasing a Pip-Boy app for iOS and Android to use with the Pip-Boy from the collector's edition.
The Pip-Boy app allows you to sort your inventory from anywhere, both in and out of the game. The release date for the app was not revealed.
Todd Howard said that he was not a fan of collector's editions, but referred to the Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Edition as the "best fucking one I've ever seen."
The price for the Pip-Boy Edition is set at $119.99. You can watch the Bethesda E3 Conference stream with commentary from halomike, Jolgier, and myself here:http://www.twitch.tv/halomike/b/669190029


text: Cape Town - Arsene Wenger is out of contract at Arsenal, but believes he is still the right man for the job as the board prepares for the big decision on Tuesday. The Frenchman has been at the helm since 1996, but his tenure with the Gunners is looking less certain than ever before amid growing fan frustration and his expired deal. Although the Gunners have not won the Premier League title since 2004, last Saturday's FA Cup victory over Chelsea is, according to Wenger, one of the reasons they should keep him on. "I've played until the end of my contract, which is today basically," Wenger said. "I think I have shown you that I have exactly the same commitment. "For me, the contract does not have special meaning but, because of the debate, maybe I should have sorted that out earlier." Wenger also insisted that the fans calling for his head are in the minority, and doesn't think their opinions should influence the board's decision. "I meet many Arsenal fans who are absolutely fantastic. It was maybe one per cent. Ninety-nine per cent of our fans are absolutely fantastic. That's why I said it's not about popularity, it's about consequence. "It's the board who has to decide who will lead the club in the future. It's for me afterwards to decide, if they want me, whether it's yes or no."

I just wanted to let you know that I read your first-page excerpt on Beth's blog today... and absolutely LOVED it. I'm dying to read more. I'm not going to reiterate my comment on that post over here, but I just want to say great job and keep it up! With any luck, I will be reading your book on the shelves in the future. :)
- July 31, 2009 at 8:46 AM

Oooh, I'll go check it out. Mine was up on Wednesday! :)

Congratulations on your bravery, Tricia. That really takes guts. (Which apparently I don't have since the idea of it makes me tremble in fear.)

You had nothing to worry about! It's excellent! :)
- July 31, 2009 at 9:30 AM
- Tricia J. O'Brien said...
Steph Su: Thanks! *blushes* Being on the store shelf would be a dream come true, and if I get there, I hope you interview me on your fabulous blog.
Elana: I was crazy about your story. I hope you found my comments on Beth's blog!
Melissa: My guts were all a'tremble, but I survived. You can, too.
Beth: Thanks so much for this. It's so awesome to take a chance. thankyouthankyouthankyou

OMG, are you brave. The thought of doing something like this makes my stomach lurch and tremble.
I am so glad you put aside what 'they' said and made it your own. Keep it up.
- July 31, 2009 at 10:29 AM
- Corey Schwartz said...
Wow, good for you. So brave!
- July 31, 2009 at 11:46 AM

Okay, just to throw a wrench in your critters over there... CREAKING is exactly the sound ice makes when you step on it and it is about to break. Sheesh. You were setting up tension, and layering ideas, just like we are supposed to. BUT you were brave, and there are a lot of nice words there too. :)
Sorry for the rant. I just thought that particular critique was unjust.
- July 31, 2009 at 12:07 PM
- Shelli (srjohannes) said...
good for you!
- July 31, 2009 at 12:43 PM

Stephanie: Yes, I had to put on my brave hat and cross that line, but here I am on the other side. I'm gonna keep on going (and so are you, my friend!)
Corey: Thanks!
Suzanne: You seem to be the only one but me who sees the analogy to ice so unstable it is creaking. I soooo appreciate that you let me know that you did. But since so many didn't get it, I shall probably have to lose it. Sigh.
Shelli: I'm all grown up now. :)

- Andrea Cremer said...
Yay! Great job, Tricia. Also, you got an award, visit my blog to see it :)
- July 31, 2009 at 2:09 PM
- Tess said...
That's so exciting - good luck with it!! I've done this before and just know that all kinds will be reading and commenting...so take the comments w/ a grain of salt. It's not the same as a critique group where the members know your genre, understand writing, etc... Blog critiques can be wonderful, but sometimes people who have no clue about writing/critiquing weigh in as well.
Hope all goes swimmingly!! Have a fun weekend :D
- July 31, 2009 at 3:33 PM
- Tricia J. O'Brien said...
Laura: You'll know when it feels right. And thanks for those really kind words.
Andrea: Thank you! What a cool award!
Tess: I hear you. It was good for me to stretch outside my comfort zone. The writer's world is a strange one--spending so much time alone in one's head and at the keyboard. And then having to step into a wider world. So I peeped out the door and now go back to revisions.
- July 31, 2009 at 5:08 PM

Oooh, I'll have to go check it out! And congrats for doing it!

- Steph Su said...
Hey Tricia, you asked why I thought LAMENT was difficult to get into. Maggie's writing is splendid, and I loved all the characters, but the first half of the story was very rushed; we are thrown right into Dierdre and Luke's world, and we're not sure how he got there or why he's so important. I think that's a good example of how backstory--even just a small amount--can be quite necessary? Anyway, this is fun, talking about books from the writing standpoint with someone else! :)
- August 1, 2009 at 4:56 AM
- Stephanie Faris said...
I keep going back to this same quote, from Wayne Gretzky: "You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take." When I was trying to get published 10 years ago I didn't know that quote but now I LIVE it. Congrats on taking your first step toward publication.
- August 1, 2009 at 6:23 AM
- Tricia J. O'Brien said...
Steph Su: I agree--I love talking about books from a writer's viewpoint. I learn from these discussions. Interesting point you make about feeling LAMENT was rushed. In an earlier version of my book, the first page/chapter started much deeper into the story and I was told by some editors and an agent that I hadn't given the reader a chance to know the characters, so I backed up to a tense, but less action-filled, spot in the story to allow for character development.
Stephanie: Love the Gretzky quote (I used to go to Kings games. Live hockey is a rush!). It reminds me of something Helen Keller said: Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

Here's a p.s. Love the matilija pic. These are my absolutely favorite flower, native and lush.
- August 1, 2009 at 2:17 PM
- Tricia J. O'Brien said...
C. Lee: Thanks so much (and for commenting on Beth's blog)! I adore matilijas but I seem to see fewer and fewer. Maybe I'm just not getting far enough from civilization.
- August 1, 2009 at 4:19 PM
- Tricia J. O'Brien said...
Ooops. I forgot to add that if anyone hasn't visited author C. Lee McKenzie's blog you are missing out on some cool challenges: http://writegame.blogspot.com

Don't be scared, be proud! It's a gutsy move and gutsy moves are usually full of rewards. Rock on!

Suzanne C: Thanks for visiting again! And you are right, I already feel rewarded for taking the step.
- August 1, 2009 at 5:22 PM

It is scary and I don't know if it ever stops being scary - I'll have to go check all the entries out! My first few pages are no where near share worthy :D
- August 3, 2009 at 1:51 PM
- Tricia J. O'Brien said...
Hi Michelle--oops, I missed your visit. I doubt if I will ever get over being scared. But somehow it's reassuring to know most writers feel the same. I'd love to see your first pages!
- August 5, 2009 at 6:18 AM
- BJW said...
Man you're brave. I wouldn't do this. Maybe share my writing, but not let people critique it publicly. No thanks.
But that's great if it works for you. I hope you got some good stuff out of it.
- August 6, 2009 at 1:40 PM
- BJW said...
I did like what you wrote though. I thought it had a good hook. This king has me real curious.
- August 6, 2009 at 1:42 PM
- Tricia J. O'Brien said...
BJW: It is scary to have a public critique and I won't indulge often but it was a worthwhile thing to do. Even the act of putting myself in front of others makes me see it differently.
Interesting thing about that king, he grows more fascinating, especially in the current revision. At first, he was just the Antagonist. Now, he's complex.

Checklist: Winterising garden tools
Petrol-powered garden tools, such as chainsaws, brushcutters, lawn mowers and hedge trimmers, should be stored properly during the winter so that they are ready for use again next spring.
Petrol-powered garden tools, such as chainsaws, brushcutters, lawn mowers and hedge trimmers, should be stored properly during the winter so that they are ready for use again next spring.
Is your hedge trimmer not cutting as well as it normally does? Are twigs getting caught in the blades? Are branches not being cut evenly? There can be a variety of reasons for blades on hedge trimmers not cutting properly. Here, we show you how to find and eliminate the cause.
Ideally, you shouldn't wait until the blades are showing signs of serious wear before sharpening them. The blades should be sharpened regularly after about every 50 hours of operation to maintain cutting performance.
Wooden decking can quickly become covered by a green film, especially in shadowy areas. You may have wondered from time to time whether wood decking can be cleaned with a high-pressure cleaner – here, we show you how to clean wood decking properly and what you need to be aware of.
Whether you are a professional or a private user, wherever your lawnmower reaches its limits, clearing saws and brushcutters make an ideal choice. We have a few tips for you to ensure that the mowing line will continue to deliver optimal cutting performance and remains stable for longer, even after a long period of storage.
Since the introduction of E10, anyone who mixes the fuel for their chainsaws using petrol from the petrol station and two-stroke oil has no doubt wondered whether E10 is also suitable for use in chainsaws, clearing saws and other similar tools. We have summarised the key facts about E10.
STIHL brushcutters provide great ease of use and robust technology.
Observing some useful tips on how to service and maintain your tool will ensure that your brushcutter will continue to work safely and reliably in your garden for many years to come.
The start of autumn and winter also marks the start of the annual chain saw season. It's time to get your chain saw out of your shed and get to work cutting wood for your fireplace as well as many other jobs that need doing. But before you get going, you should check to see whether your chain saw is working properly.

Clinical Director/Veterinary Surgeon
I graduated from the University of London (King's College and Royal Veterinary College) in 1996 with degrees in physiology and veterinary medicine before spending a number of years as a small animal vet and practice owner in the south of England. Taking a break from general practice in 2011, I worked for a pharmaceutical company as a Technical Advisor and spent a number of years training vets on responsible antimicrobial use, the management of epilepsy, and anaesthetic technique before returning to general practice when my son was born in 2014. I have a keen interest in soft tissue surgery and, more recently, clinical pathology having finally realised that the biochemistry lessons at college may have been relevant after all!
In addition to my duties at Sanctuary, I assist a number of professional regulators as a case examiner and provide non-executive services to an NHS Trust. The varied nature of my work and answering my son's many questions means there's often not enough hours in the day, but any spare moments are spent training for my next triathlon, experimenting with my camera, writing software or in the kitchen.
My family and I live in the beautiful countryside just outside Emsworth and spend a lot of time catering to the demands of our two cats, Merry and Star.
Veterinary Surgeon
Veterinary Surgeon
I qualified from the Royal Ceterinary College in 2014 after completing a degree in Zoology in the USA. I am originally from New York, but have made England my home. I have worked in a multitude of practices around the country and my drive to continue to learn led me to undertake a small animal rotating internship in 2016 at the University of Bristol. Following that I locumed around the country until making Sanctuary my home.
I have a passion for internal medicine, especially feline medicine and I am currently pursuing an advanced qualification in Feline Medicine via the University of Sydney in order to advance my knowledge and deliver the best care to my patients.
At home I have an expat three year old Maine Coon Cat named Maya who you may see demonstrating puzzle feeders.
In my free time when I am not studying, I love to go for hikes, the gym, hopefully kayaking in the summer and watching sci fi! I currently live in Petersfield with my feline overlord.
Practice Manager/Head Nurse
I have been working as a nurse for over 17 years. I originally worked in equine practice for 8 years then moved to small animals. At the beginning of 2018 I moved from an out of hours emergency clinic to join Sanctuary as Head Nurse.
I love all aspects of nursing but particularly enjoy surgery, anaesthesia, nurse clinics. I also love helping other nurses, students and animal care assistants achieving their goals. I'm a believer in nurses reaching their full potential so we can provide the high standards of care to all our patients and their owners.
At home I have a cheeky cat called Ozzy who I rescued when he came in as a tiny kitten. He was growing up with dogs so he thinks he's one of them.
In my spare time I may be found riding my horse, swimming or cycling with my family. I live in beautiful Emsworth with my husband and daughter.
Deputy Nursing Manager
Registered Veterinary Nurse
I have been nursing for 14 years, gaining my qualification 11 years ago, and I love my job. Over the last 8 years I have developed a keen interest in nurse clinics and client education and became an Advanced Pet Health Counsellor in 2011. My work in this area led to me being named as National Pet Health Consellor of the year in 2015, a recognition I am very proud of. I also have a passion for nutrition and have a certificate in canine and feline clinical nutrition.
I joined Sanctuary in May 2016 as lead consult and client care nurse. Within this role I run nurse consults and puppy parties, organise client information evenings and produce client information packs. This role allows me to support clients in giving their beloved pets a happy, healthy life, a role which I love. Outside of work I enjoy crafts, especially knitting. I am also a film fanatic and love all genres but have a specific love of Classic Disney and MGM musicals.
Registered Veterinary Nurse
I started my degree in Veterinary Nursing in September 2016 and began my placement at Sanctuary Vets in January 2017. I have just recently qualified as a registered veterinary nurse in July 2019, I completed three years of university and the placements here at Sanctuary Vets throughout that time. Everyone here at Sanctuary have been very supportive throughout my training and I couldn't have done it without them. I enjoy many aspects of my job however have a keen interest in looking after the inpatients and helping in theatre. I am always interested in learning more and improving my skills and I am currently looking for courses I can do to achieve this. At home I have a cat of my own called Rosie and in my spare time I enjoy keeping fit which includes swimming at the weekend and I also enjoy cooking and baking.
Student Veterinary Nurse
I started my Veterinary Nursing degree in October 2016 and joined Sanctuary in January 2019 to complete my final placement. I have really enjoyed working here and the team have been so supportive in helping me finish off all the work I have left to do, and I have learnt so much. It goes without saying that I have loved animals my whole life and I feel like I was made to be a veterinary nurse! After I qualify I am considering undertaking a certificate in feline behaviour as I am doing my dissertation on this subject and I would love to learn more to help our feline friends. At home I have two rescue animals; my cat Sasha, and my dog Finley, who I adore.
Student Veterinary Nurse
Student Veterinary Nurse
Head Receptionist
Ever since I was little I have wanted to work around animals. I spent 4 years at college gaining my Animal Management Diploma, working with all sorts of animals ranging from reptiles to farm animals.
I have worked in Customer Service all my life but always held onto my dream to work with animals by completing courses in my spare time such as Diploma in Animal Behaviour, Diploma in Exotics and Diploma in Veterinary Receptionist. I also have qualifications in Digital Marketing, IT programming, Customer Services and Social Media. I am currently studying Biology at evening classes.
My customer service background means that working at Sanctuary Vets as a Head receptionist means I can use all my skills and work in the field that has been so close to my heart since I was little.
When I'm not looking after our lovely clients, I can usually be found with my head in a book or my laptop with my Bearded Dragon, Scarlett, on my lap. I love reptiles and also have a Gargoyle Gecko called Opie and two Cresties called Floki and Autumn. I also adopted a stray from work, a cat called Jedi.
I love to see live bands and on a weekend play in a flute choir.
I have been working within the Sanctuary team since 2007, working as a receptionist at both our Emsworth and Farlington branches. Originally I started as a work experience student at the surgery before taking a full time position. I love meeting new people and their pets and making them all feel welcome here at Sanctuary Vets.
At home I love caring for my three dogs and two cats, which takes up a lot of my time and they definitely keep me on my toes. However I do make time to do my bit for charity and have raised money for The British Heart Foundation, Cancer Research and RSPCA Stubbington Ark Animal Shelter.
In my spare time I enjoy watching Football on both TV and at the stadium, I support two teams my home town Pompey and also Crawley Town.
I am originally from Denmark and I have lived in the UK for almost 17 years. I am married and have two children plus three cats.
I have a deep respect and a vast amount of love towards all species of animals, and I therefore enjoy working within the veterinary industry.
I have years of experience of working within the clientele of human health services and client customer care which aid the deliverance of satisfactory client interaction and customer care within the practice reception sector.
Over the last few years I have gained both educational knowledge and work experience within both the veterinary industry and animal environmental work areas.
My interest outside of work is family, travel, nature, books, art, films and Jazz music!
