GLCD 5208 – The Lost Transcriptions – Vol. 4
Keene Sentinel, Brattleboro Reformer – February 2014
As I have been writing for years, Guild Light Music has been releasing a seemingly endless series of CDs under the main title "The Golden Age of Light Music." They are now up to their 208th entry — and it is a most unusual one. As a departure from the past compilations of commercial mono and stereo recordings of the late '40s to the middle '50s, this one follows a new direction.

I am so proud to be participating in this project. I was a little hesitant at first just like anyone would be posting pictures of your non glorious self all over the Internet! However, I was really pleased with how this project turned out. I'm proud of the woman I've become. I'm proud of the challenges I've faced and that I've endured because I know that it has contributed to my beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the beholder is you!
I am Brave and Beautiful – a beauty movement that is sweeping the globe. Colbie Caillat started it with her recent song and video called TRY. My blogging friend Megan of Brassy Apple wanted to push this movement along and invited women from all over to share what they looked like without make up and I joined in!! Colbie's song says, "Take your make up off. Let your hair down… Look into the mirror at yourself, Do you like you? Cause I like you… "
Megan and her friend Cobi of Peacefrom6pieces have been the team behind this whole project. Their worldwide vision included creating their own video inspired by the song TRY. The talent of Robbins Creative made it possible for them to pull it off. You have to click play and see the beauty and bravery displayed and you might even recognize a few faces in there.
Me along with 101+ other blogging women from different backgrounds, religions, ethnicities, ages, shapes and sizes have decided to be Brave and Beautiful! You can join in this movement too by sharing what you look like without makeup on. You don't need a blog either! Just tag your photo with #IamBraveAndBeautiful on Instgram and search the hashtag to see who else has joined in. ALSO, if you tag it with a second hashtag – #ColbieTRY we just might be able to get Colbie Caillat's attention since she was the inspiration behind it all!
Are you brave and beautiful? I am, here I go!
I am brave and I am beautiful. We all submitted photos of us in makeup and then the challenge is for us to post photos of us with no makeup. This is supposed to empower me? In a way I feel more empowered in the full makeup shot because most days I look like the no makeup shot. I hardly ever wear makeup except for special occasions or if I'm feeling like 1000% awesome (that's not very often).
For me to feel awesome takes a lot because of my Fibromyalgia. First thing in the morning I have to make sure and get my medicine in me or by noon I will feel like a stiff board, I won't be able to function and it will affect me for 2 days. I have to remember my meds at night to. Ugh, medicine…it makes me feel ugly, old, just plain unhealthy which is what I am. I am completely unhealthy. While I know that I cannot be cured of Fibromyalgia, I can for sure do more things to bring calm some of the symptoms.
Ever since blogging, there has been a complete turn around in my life. I'm going places, doing things and pushing myself. I feel like I have myself back, I feel good and when I feel good – that is when I feel beautiful. It's not the makeup that I need, though it does help boost some ego I've got in me that comes up once in a while. When I'm feeling healthy, I can accomplish anything and do everything and I feel I have nothing holding me back.
To me being beautiful has nothing to do with looks. I always tell my husband that fat people need love too. When my son tells me about girls who have crushes on them and they don't like them back – I always say to treat them always with respect and to never be rude even though you may not think they are pretty on the outside, they may be pretty on the inside. If we just only look at the exterior of people, we will never know the true beauty or ugliness of them. Always give people a chance, always look for the good, always be someones friend. It's the least someone deserves and to me that is what being Brave and Beautiful is, not a face with makeup.
For me, I know that I can live in confidence that I am beautiful because I live in a supportive environment with a husband who tells me that, and that is important. But, the most important part is that you know it for yourself because there will be days that you're not told or reminded and you have to tell it to yourself. You have to know that your heart is beautiful and that it's not always what's on the exterior that counts. For some people that is what only matters to them and it's something to work past. When you have confidence then you don't need to worry about it.
A good sense of humor also helps a lot too. I love joking about my curves. I know I don't have a bangin' body and I don't ever expect to. If I look at my Mother and Grandmothers, I do not stand a chance, ever! My kids told me that the back of my knees look like butts and that I have melting boobs. Seriously kids, I'd love to hear what you have to say about it when you're older and figure out that one of you made my body look that way. They also love to separate my belly roll to find my belly button. It's just life and I'm not embarrassed, I really think it's quite funny. They think it's funny. It's a way that they can learn every body is different and everyone has different body types.
I hope that you're able to learn something from my beauty post and really learn what your true beauty is and love yourself. In the end, maybe you feel this is selfish, but your opinion of yourself is the only one that matters. It is not selfish, it's the truth. I will have to say at the end of writing this I feel very empowered and I love that we were challenged to write these posts and take those pictures!
Thanks so much for stopping by! XOXO,
Don't stop here. Get clicking around – its a blog hop! Below are more brave and beautiful women bearing more than their natural beauty. They each have a little bit of their heart to share with you. Some get very personal. Some share stories. For some this was very hard to do yet they gathered their courage and did it anyway. We hope as you click around (and YES pin these different posts!) you will feel the importance of it, the empowering effect it has and that it encourages you in some way.

Hi Guys,
Today I am going to review the MUA Matte Perfect Shine Control Foundation in shade fair & MUA Matte Perfect Loose Translucent Powder in shade translucent. The foundation comes in three shades, Fair, Natural and Almond and the powder comes in only Translucent. This means that it will match any skin tone as it contains no colour.
The foundation doesn't have a very large selection of shades and therefore would be difficult for some people to find a perfect match. It cost me £2 and I was weary when purchasing it as cheap foundations can sometimes make my skin break out, although it does state on the website that it has been designed for the most sensitive of skin. The shade I chose was a perfect match to my skin tone and I am very fair, it also didn't break me out which was my main concern. The foundation claims to be the perfect blend of skincare and makeup and although I don't agree with this statement I do think it is a very good foundation for the price. When you put it on the back of your hand it does feel quite sticky and thick but this does not translate onto the face! On the face, the foundation is very lightweight and not cakey at all, it is very easy to apply, which I love about a foundation! The coverage is fairly light but can be built up to a medium-ish coverage. I would use this foundation as a day to day product but not if I was going on a night out. As for the matte finish, well... I have combination skin and can be quite oily at times and although it does apply matte and lasts for a couple of hours (with a powder to set it) it did not keep my shine at bay for the whole day and I did have to keep applying the Matte Perfect Loose Powder. Combined with this, the shine was under control but I think if you do suffer from oily skin then you will definitely need to keep a powder with you to touch up throughout the day! The foundation did however last all day (combined with powder touch ups) and didn't slide all across my face.. this is without using a primer. So... I would certainly recommend this if you are looking for a cheaper foundation.
The loose powder is a great product!! The key is to just apply the right amount else it can look as though you are wearing a mask... If you get this right though, the finish is brilliant and it does keep the shine at bay! It is a very finely milled powder which means it dissapears once applied and absorbs any oil/shine without making you look like you have powder on! Although it says it is a setting powder and will last all day, I used it every few hours to top up as I do have quite oily skin some days. It is very sheer and lightweight, which means that you don't even feel as though you have any on! It is brilliant for those days where you don't want a really heavy make-up look. It retails for £2.30 which is a steal!
Overall, I think both these products are great for the price and they are certainly worth trying if you are looking for budget products and don't mind having to touch up every couple of hours.

Walking in Thingvellir
There are various walking paths and trails in Iceland that are worth strolling along if you enjoy nature.
Many of the well marked trekking paths are close to the main roads making them available to most people. They are well marked and maintained throughout the year.
In and around the National Parks in Iceland there are also many scenic and informative walks such as those that have recently been renovated in Thingvellir.
This historic place is one of Iceland's pearls of nature, it is also considered by many to be the heart of Icelandic culture and identity.
The gravel paths around Thingvellir are easily accessible from the information center and the parking lot at the visitor center. They run throughout the park and are marked with guide sticks that are easy to follow. Along the length of the hike the parks officials have set up small placks with historic information about Althingi which are well worth reading.
Trekking in Thingvellir
If you feel like taking a longer and perhaps more challenging trek around Thingvellir there are many trails throughout the park itself and around the lake. Most of them lead to the old abandoned farms of Hrauntún. Skógarkot and Vatnskot, where visitors can see remnants of what life was like before the industrial revolution.
Most of the paths are easy to follow but are only intended for on-foot traffic.
Horse riding is also permitted along the old traditional riding paths of Langistígur, Skógarkotsvegur and Nýja-Hrauntúnsgata.
In all cases it is important to keep to the marked paths as Icelandic nature is very fragile.

The Maserati Alfieri Concept was unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show to preview the design DNA for future Maserati models. The concept was named after the engineering genius Alfieri Maserti who established 'Officine Alfieri Maserati' in Bologna a century ago. The new Alfieri concept was created at the Maserati Centro Stile in Turin celebrating 100 glorious years for the Italian carmaker.
Maserati designers pay tribute to the sleek, Italian style 2+2 of the 1957 3500 GT, the 1959 5000 GT, and the 1969 Indy for the Alfieri Concept. It also showcases the Italian carmaker's racing DNA.
"We wanted the Alfieri to test future design paths. The car is very aggressive yet subtle in style, forceful but understated," said Lorenzo Ramaciotti, global design head for Fiat-Chysler.
The Alfieri has a low nose and its grill is divided vertically into two concave sections. The headlights are incorporated with a bi-xenon LED bulbs. The taillights are three dimensional with red external elements and white elements in the center. It has a 21-inch diameter rear and 20-inch front wheels that are similar to the classic spoke wheels of the 1950s. The Alfieri Concept debuted with a 'Steel Flair' paint finish.
Inside, the Alfieri has a minimalist interior. The suspended dashboard is inspired by the Maserati 5000 GT. The instrument panel has a classic layout with two binnacle dials and the edge of each is designed with a small 'Officine Maserati' label. The instrumental panel features TFT displays. Luna white and dark Basalt blue are the dominant interior colors of the Alfieri.
The Alfieri concept is equipped with a 4.7L engine that is capable of generating 466PS with 520Nm of torque. Power is transmitted with a six-speed, electro-actuated gearbox (MC Shift).

Craft brewing in Australia is hitting a sour note, and that's no bad thing, writes Max Allen.
Ashley Huntington laughs his big, infectious laugh and pulls another pint of deep purple sour-cherry ale in his farm bar, on a hillside in Tasmania's Derwent Valley.
"I came to brewing thinking it can't be that hard," says the ex-winemaker who, with his wife Jane established Two Metre Tall brewery here a decade ago. "But brewing beer has troubled me greatly. It has upset my karma a lot. Which is just wonderful! I've found it ominously challenging but I think I'm actually now starting to get somewhere."
"Somewhere" is the extreme but increasingly popular niche of beers made with wild and mixed microbial cultures - soured ales; beers fermented with added fruit such as cherries and plums; spontaneously fermented, sometimes downright agricultural-tasting brews such as the pre-industrial Belgian lambic, kriek and gueuze beer styles.
Huntington is Australia's most passionate brewer of sour beers. Last year he travelled to Belgium and the US on a Churchill Fellowship to study the culture and production methods of these unique drinks.
But he's not alone: many of this country's growing band of top craft brewers have dabbled at the sour and wild end of the beer flavour spectrum over the last couple of years, releasing one-off brews to huge acclaim. One of the leading producers, Feral Brewing in Western Australia, has even dedicated a whole brewery - its original Swan Valley operation - to the production of sour and fruit ales, following the success of its Watermelon Warhead.
And, importantly, the best examples of these styles from Belgium and the US are now available in Australia and are developing a following; indeed, the finest producer of lambics, Brussels brewery Cantillon, has achieved cult status, with the tiny allocations of its beers shipped each year barely reaching the fridges in our leading speciality craft outlets before they're snapped up by sour ale-lovers.
It was Ashley's winemaking background that first led him down this particularly tangy rabbit hole in the beer world.
"What I realised when I started brewing was that beer lacks acidity," he says, drawing pictures in the air with his large expressive hands. "Imagine wine is a stool with three legs: fruit-sweetness, tannins, acid. It's stable, it sits, in time, can age, all good. Beer has sweetness and bitterness. Two legs. You need a third pillar, which is acid."
Huntington realised that beer made in the old Belgian tradition, where wild yeasts and bacteria are encouraged to play a role in long, slow fermentations and maturation in barrel - rather than the short, reliable fermentations conducted by cultured yeast strains in most conventional brewing - resulted in precisely the acidity he was after.
"A good, mature, three year-old lambic has minerality and is as dry as a bone, like a fine Chablis," he says, eyes twinkling wistfully. "But it also has the drinkability of a great cask-aged ale. And you just think: 'Wow! What a drink!'"
More and more Australian brewers are beginning to appreciate the qualities of these sometimes quite challenging beer styles. At last year's Australian International Beer Awards, for example, the Belgian Oud Beersel Oude Geuze was named Champion International Beer.
Huntington was surprised when that happened, to say the least. It wasn't that long ago, he says, that very few people in the Australian beer world understood the sour ale tradition or what he was trying to do. He was criticised, he says, for making "infected" beer.
"I was shredded by some blokes in the industry. 'You can't do that here!' they'd say. 'It's faulty!' Which I never understood: on one hand they all think wild-fermented sourdough bread is the pinnacle of bread making, and yet making wild-fermented sour beer is the worst thing you can do. Bizarre."
If you're interested in wild, sour and fruit beers - and if you like to have your karma "ominously challenged" - I strongly encourage you to download a copy of Ashley's report on his Churchill Fellowship tour from the Two Metre Tall website: if only more of Australia's primary producers were as passionate, as thoughtful and as articulate as this tall man.

Ottawa, ON – Today is an important milestone in the global fight against climate change. With the European Union ratifying the Paris Agreement, the threshold for the Agreement to become international law has now been passed, and the Agreement is set to become international law in 30 days. The fact so many countries have ratified the global accord on climate change less than a year after the Paris conference is a clear sign that the world is taking climate change seriously, and that we can still decarbonize the global economy and avoid dangerous levels of climate change.
The path for Canada is clear. This is the time – finally – where Canada must meet its global commitments and do its fair share in the greatest challenge we face. The Canadian government and the provinces and territories must implement policies and programs to meet and exceed Canada's carbon reduction target. That includes putting a price on carbon along with many other measures: phasing out dirty coal, cutting methane emissions in half, fostering clean energy and the electric vehicle revolution, and putting an end to governments giving money to fossil fuel companies in the form of subsidies.
The Paris Agreement is not just for after 2020. There will be an emphasis over the short term for countries to ramp up ambition before 2020. After 10 years of inaction, and with Canada playing catch up, Canada more than most other countries must step up with bold action. Action and results will determine if Canada is truly back or not.

African Lion
Exhibit(s): Kovler Lion House
Large predators, African lions can weigh up to 500 pounds. The species' tan coat blends in among the vegetation of its home, helping it to stalk prey. Males are larger than females and can be distinguished by their mane, which surrounds the head and extends down to the chest.
Latin NamePanthera leo krugeri
RangeAfrican lions can be found from the southern Sahara Desert down to southern Africa, excluding the Congo rain forest region.
StatusAfrican lion populations are classified as vulnerable, with numbers declining due to habitat loss throughout Africa. Lincoln Park Zoo scientists are helping to conserve the species through the zoo-managed Serengeti Health Initiative, a research program dedicated to studying the Serengeti ecosystem and conserving its wildlife. Lincoln Park Zoo participates in the Lion Species Survival Plan®, a shared conservation effort by zoos throughout the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
HabitatAfrican lions inhabit grasslands and open woods.
NicheThe big cats prey on large hoofed animals, such as gazelles, impalas, zebras and wildebeest. They will also scavenge and eat smaller prey, if necessary. Hunting often occurs in groups. The males' manes and larger size make them more conspicuous, so females do the majority of the hunting. Hunting takes place at night and in early morning. Prides can spend up to 20 hours per day sleeping.
Life HistoryLions live in prides of 2-40 members; the average group has 13 members. The species breeds year-round. Males compete fiercely for the ability to breed with prides of females. Young males often band together to gain control of a pride, with stronger males forcing weaker ones out in battles that can end in the death of the loser. The females of a pride often give birth in close proximity and can help one another care for their cubs. Cubs are kept in hiding for the first eight weeks of their lives and remain dependent on adults until they are 16 months of age. Females remain in their pride upon reaching maturity, while males leave the group at 2.5 years, living nomadically for a time before seeking to take over their own pride.
Special Adaptations
- The lion's archetypal roar is used to communicate with other group members and warn intruders of territorial boundaries.
- Long, retractable claws help the lion to grab and hold prey.
- The species' rough tongue helps it to peel the skin of prey animals away from flesh and flesh away from bone.
- Loose belly skin allows the African lion to be kicked by prey with little chance of injury.

Three Poems
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 26 February 2014 16:49
by Michael Prihoda
recalcitrant waltz
the trees did semaphore
(or was that a strip tease?)
while greedy clouds
ogled their branches.
the reasonable sun
shook a fatherly finger at the whole affair,
knowing the moon would disapprove
yet never see
this recalcitrant waltz.
make it holy
how do you (un)(a)(d)dress
a woman
and make it holy?
stop signs
committing roadside felonies
our wicker wheels stop turning;
city skylines through shattered windshield glass

It just hit me like a knock on the head that tomorrow is December 1. I've been so busy with the holiday, family, and eBay that one day just morphed into another with the blink of an eye. And, since I'm on a roll with posting, I thought I'd do one last post for November.
I was thrilled that, without too much effort on my part, October turned out to be my second highest month of the year with over 150 sales. I love the last quarter of the year! Here are my top sellers:
TAKAHASHI PORCELAIN CHINA GARDEN TEAPOT Floral Gold Scrolls Vintage Rare
I found this gorgeous teapot at a garage sale that had lots of children's clothing and toys, but one table had some housewares. I picked this one up and another teapot for $1 each. Sold it in 4 months for $39.99 to a buyer in Florida. Net margin = 55%
Vintage 8 Pipe Wood Rack with Humidor Estate Tobacco Smoking
This was another garage sale find. This garage sale was on its second run, and the owners had already moved out-of-state. Their adult children were selling the leftovers and were at a point where they just wanted to get rid of what was left.
I had picked up a few clothing items for a quarter, and I was taking one last look when I spotted this in the garage. It was grimy and tatty-looking so the "kids" let me have it for a buck. I cleaned it up with a bit of Minwax and it cleaned up beautifully. Sold it for $40.55 to another buyer in Florida. Net margin = 48%
Hasbro Teal Easy Bake Oven & Snack Center w/ Acc. Plus Frosting Set & Mixes
I will usually pick up these little Easy Bake ovens when I run across them and can get them for under $5. I found this one at a huge garage sale and paid $3 for it. It also came with a few extras which was a great selling point. Sold it for $51.29 to a buyer in Arizona. Net margin = 59%
Chantal Fire & Ice Fondue Set Glass Base Blue Enamel Pot Vintage 1980s MIB
If I spot a closed box in a thrift store aisle, you know I have to open it. I read somewhere in blogland that vintage fondue sets can be good sellers, but at $5.99 I wasn't sure about buying it. But it felt like good quality and it was new in its original box, so I brought it home. It sold for $53.62 within 2 months to a buyer in Texas. Net margin = 51%
TIARA Halloween Fall Black SWEATER CARDIGAN Misses XL Pumpkins Ghosts Zip Front
I bought this Halloween sweater for $1 from the SA and it has been in my store since February. It FINALLY sold for $53.99 to a buyer from Canada. I didn't pick up any Christmas sweaters throughout the year as in previous years. I just didn't run across them as often; and when I did, they were priced from $10-$15 at the thrift stores, especially Goodwill and Savers. Oh, well, so much for Goodwill haunting!
Eileen Fisher Women's Dark Blue Navy Elastic Waist Stretch Pants Petite Sz PS
EILEEN FISHER Off-White Silk Georgette Crepe Scoop Neck Tank Top Plus Sz 2X NEW
First place goes to these two Eileen Fisher items. Eileen Fisher is always a top seller but it's not always a fast one. I purchased the pants last year at a garage sale for $1 and finally sold them for $39.99, after dropping the price multiple times.
I bought the blouse at the SA in February for $1. It was brand new with its original price tag, and I originally listed it at $125. It finally sold for $79.99. My investment for both items was $2 and total sales for both was $119.98. Ka-ching! Net margin = 80%
Magic MTG Cards Lot Scalding Tarn x4 4 Zendikar RARE Dual Lands Land Duel – Sold for $175
Misty Rainforest x3 Zendikar Near Mint Magic the Gathering MTG – sold $120
These Magic The Gathering cards belonged to DS#1 and had been in the garage for a few years. I think he's had these cards since he was in high school – about 10 years now – so I would have thought these were old and no good. But there are still a lot of gamers out there who pay top dollar for specific cards. DS stored these in protective sleeves, and they were in mint condition. Total sales was $295! He sold a few other cards but not for anywhere near these.
Now That's Cash for Trash

The department of Gers is at the centre of the larger historical region of Gascony. Caught between the English in Bordeaux and the French in Toulouse, the struggles here in the Middle Ages have left their mark in the fortified villages and Bastide towns, which today dot the rolling hills of Gers's agricultural landscape. Fittingly Gascony's most famous fictional son was Alexandre Dumas's mercenary musketeer, d'Artagnan. A statue to him stands in Auch, Gers's capital.

Obama visits food bank
Nov. 24 - U.S. President Barack Obama and family hand out food at a local food bank in Washington D.C. ahead of Thanksgiving. Rough cut (No reporter narration).
U.S. President Barack Obama paid a surprise visit to a local Food Bank in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday (November 23) to distribute food to needy families. The President was joined by his wife Michelle, daughters Mali, Sash and his mother-in-law Mrs. Robinson who all stood behind a long table distributing produce ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. People formed a long line at the Capital Area food bank waiting their turn to receive food and greetings from the President. The White House donated two dressed turkeys as well as chocolate candy. The food bank distributes about 30 million pounds of food per year, according to the White House.

text: Digital Huffington Post Introduces 'Blog Concierge Service' for Celebrities By Ujala Sehgal|June 17, 2011 Share By Ujala Sehgal|June 17, 2011 Share The days of blogging being a meritocracy are long over. At last Tuesday night's "At Home With Arianna" event, an event that takes place in Arianna Huffington's Brentwood home, Executive Features editor Michael Hogan spoke of "new opportunities for celebrities to bring attention to their causes." The platforms for celebrities at AOL Huffington Post include "AOL Moviefone, AOL Music, StyleList, HuffPost Green, or the soon-to-be-launched HuffPost Celebrity section." Huffington Post reported that at the event were celebrities and "long-time HuffPost bloggers Larry David and Rita Wilson, actor Shaun Toub, and actresses Rose McGowan and Jaime King." Sure, we admire those celebrities for taking the time to write, because blogging can be hard work! But not anymore. At least not if you're a celebrity. Arianna then touted the company's "blog concierge service," where "busy celebs can dictate a blog post to an editor over the phone for publishing on the site." You know who else could use a blog concierge service? Actual bloggers. Like us! All this typing is such a nuisance. Don't rule it out, Ms. Huffington. We hear you still have money left in your budget. Share http://adweek.it/2jJEP6A copy Adweek Adweek

Weight is everything when backpacking the steep trails of the Rocky Mountains. One of the heaviest pieces of gear you'll have to carry is a sleeping bag, so it makes sense to buy the lightest and best performing bag you can afford.
On average, a down bag weighs roughly one to one and half pounds less than an eqivalent synthetic bag. Down is also much more compressible than synthetics without affecting loft, which is the air space within the insulating material that holds in body heat.
Though synthetic insulating materials have made major advances over the years, they have yet to top goose down's warmth-to-weight ratio. This has long made down the preferred choice in sleeping bags for those who trek the steep slopes of the Rockies.
The North Face Aleutian 3S Down 20 Degree Sleeping Bag
- Fill: 600+ Hungarian grey goose down
- Temperature Rating: 20° F
- Shape: Mummy
- Stuff Size: 8" x 6.3" x 20.7" / 20.3 x 16 x 52.6 cm
- Soft rip-stop and water resistant polyester shell
- Internal watch pocket
- Roll-top stuff sack
- Tested to EN 13537
The Aleutian is a mid-priced 3-season down bag weighing in at 2 lbs, 13 ounces with the included stuff sack. Though technically not an ultra-lite bag, it still weighs considerably less than most synthetic bags with the same temperature rating. Though slightly heavier than ultra-lite bags, it also has more room inside. This is a big plus if you're someone that tends to roll around a lot in your sleeping bag at night.
The outer shell is made out of a water-resistant, polyester rip-stop material:

There is a stash pocket on the inside of the bag just over the chest area, good for storing a watch or headlamp, etc.

Field Test
With the record breaking warm temperatures recently, finding a night cold enough to test this bag was somewhat of a challenge (pretty much unheard of for this time of year in the Rockies). Luckily, we had a minor snowstorm move through the area last weekend and temperatures dropped into the 20s at night, perfect for testing the bag.
To test the Aleutian, I took it to my favorite mountain testing spot the night of the storm and slept under an Equinox Egret Tarp. A Thermarest ProLite Plus pad was used underneath the Aleutian to provide insulation from the cold ground.
My Kestrel 3500 Weather Meter recorded stand still temperatures down to 26 degrees and wind chills into the low 20s. The air was also very humid, making it feel colder than the usually dry air found in the Rockies.
The morning after!
During the test, the Aleutian proved to be warm, roomy, and comfortable. I never felt any cold spots, which is sometimes a problem for down bags because of the down shifting around. I also liked the lighter weight of this bag because it doesn't feel as suffocating as a heavier synthetic bag.

Northface has a long history of making quality outdoor gear, and this bag certainly lives up to that reputation. If you're in the market for a reasonably priced, quality, workhorse 3-season down bag, definitely check out Northface's Aleutian 3S Down.

Every time he make plans to go camping, it rains.
|Clear Lake
Roger wanted to go camping in mid-July for his birthday. Unfortunately, the weatherman was forecasting lots of moisture for our chosen weekend. After enduring a soggy, cold tent last fall in Zion and Grand Canyon National Parks, I'd had my fill of rainy camping trips.
|Drippy leaves
But....Clear Lake, in the Central Oregon Cascades had cabins for rent. We'd noticed them two years ago when while camping at this charming mountain lake. A quick phone call confirmed there was one "rustic" cabin available for the weekend. However primitive, a cabin was still a step up from our clammy tent. I eagerly shared my credit card number.
|Clear Lake's unusual aqua-blue water
That Friday afternoon my hubby and I were on the road, dodging raindrops as we approached Santiam Pass. Clear Lake is immediately west (ie the rainy side) of the pass, so no there'd be no escaping this wet weather. But that was okay, because a warm, dry cabin awaited!
|Foggy, rainy afternoon
We arrived, and checked in. Our cabin, although as "rustic" as we'd been promised, did have heat and electricity. Roger and I sat at the window, watched the raindrops fall, and smugly reminded each other how nice it was to be indoors.
|Glad we have a warm, dry cabin!
But it didn't take long for us to venture outside. Rain or no rain, Roger decided to check out the fishing. And I wanted to explore the lakeshore. Throwing on raingear, and a protective pack cover for my camera bag, I set out on the path that circled Clear Lake.
|Blue heron reflection
Cloudy days are always the best for photography. There's no shadows to worry about, and the gray skies really help saturate the colors. Clear Lake is a unique aqua-blue color, and the overcast skies were perfect for capturing this lovely body of water.
|Wild rose
I hiked about a mile down the path before the rain forced me to turn around. Despite the rain, it was a nice evening to be out and the lake looked lovely. Returning to the cabin, I hung up my wet jacket to dry, and my hubby and I spent the hours until bedtime playing cards. We nodded off to sleep with the sound of rain pattering on the roof, again feeling very smug not to be braving the elements in a leaky tent.
|Sahalie Falls
The following morning dawned, cloudy but dry. Roger wanted to fish some more, but I had plans to check out the nearby waterfalls. I left my hubby at the lake, and made the short drive to Sahalie and Koosah Falls.
|McKenzie River
The McKenzie River flows through Clear Lake and further downstream, plunges over two steep cliffs, creating spectacular waterfalls.
|Koosah Falls
Since these waterfalls are extremely popular, I got an early start. Arriving at the Sahalie Falls parking area, I was the second car. Apart from a group trail runners, I had the entire viewing area to myself.
|Icy blue waters of the McKenzie
Sahalie Falls was churning mightily, as was it's downstream sister, Koosah Falls. And in between these gorgeous cascades was the McKenzie River's churning whitewater. I loved the river's mini-rapids and icy blue water.
|Proxy Falls misty shower
After a hour or so of exploring, Koosah and Sahalie Falls started to fill up with people, so I took my leave. Back at camp, I collected my hubby and persuaded him to drive a short distance to Proxy Falls trailhead. A waterfall I'd been wanting to visit!
|Lower Proxy Falls
A short one-mile loop takes visitors to both Upper and Lower Proxy Falls. A short trail, and our late morning arrival meant that we wouldn't be alone. As a matter of fact, this place was crawling with people.
|Upper Proxy Falls
Roger and I clambered down a steep primitive trail that led to Lower Proxy Falls base. A jungle-like tangle of vegetation and downed trees, it took some scrambling to find a place suitable to take some photos. But - oh - what an amazingly beautiful waterfall! And it was huge! Dropping 226 feet down a mossy cliff of columnar basalt, this cascade was quite photogenic.
|Trail through the lava
Heading back to our car, my hubby and I walked through a huge lava field full of vine maple.
|Vine maple already turning
Some of the vine maple leaves were already changing into fall colors. In July!
|Bold camp robber
Back at the cabin, Roger grilled bratwursts, while I sat in my camp chair enjoying a bag of fresh Bing cherries. I was just throwing the pits on the ground, and those attracted the attention of the local wildlife. Pretty soon we were surrounded by a flock of very aggressive bluejays (or "camp robbers" as they are also known). A couple of chipmunks even joined in the hunt.
|South end of Clear Lake
After lunch, I was hankering for another hike, so while Roger grabbed his fishing pole, I grabbed my camera for a walk around the entire lake.
|More lovely aquamarine water
Although the sun threatened to pop out of the clouds and heat everything up, temps stayed fairly comfortable. Best of all - the rain stayed away!
|Clouds hide mountain views
Clear Lake was created by ancient lava flows that dammed up the McKenzie River, creating a lake so clear and cold that old tree snags are visible down to 100 feet in depth. The lake's east side crosses through these old lava beds, and although it's still an open, desolate area, vine maple and other vegetation are re-establishing themselves nicely.
|McKenzie Spring
At the lake's north end, a gushing river emerges from underground into a ultra-blue pool in an old lava flow. Nicknamed the "Great Spring" it's quite a sight to see.
|Cozy cabin
Although we lucked out with a dry Saturday, by evening the wet stuff returned. But Roger and I were inside our warm cabin, snug and dry. When inclement weather threatened, we both decided this was the way to go!
I'm so glad we didn't chicken out and stay home. My hubby and I ended up having a great weekend - and thanks to the Clear Lake cabins, avoided a wet camping trip.

Business networking – an often underused skill in the investment business—can add significant value to your business if done well. Often, women shy away from developing the skill because they consider it too opportunistic and have limited knowledge about how to effectively develop it. Viewing your business network critically can yield excellent results and should be undertaken regularly.
Start with a couple of key questions:
- How often do you review your professional network?
- How active or inactive is your network?
- How much time per week do you spend on network-building activities or in networking events?
- How does your network allow you to build your business; overcome internal constraints; or strengthen your personal brand?
As an advisor you may not need much convincing about the value of a strong and vibrant network business development and referrals – but are you really maximizing your opportunity?
If the simple definition of a network is a set of relationships critical to your ability to get things done, then on what parameters do you define an effective network? Effective networks are evaluated on the basis of breadth, depth, and leveragibility.
The breadth of a network refers to the type of contacts you maintain professionally and the range of your network. For instance, most advisors work with lawyers, accountants, real estate professionals, tax planners, and bankers. Are these people senior, junior or peers? Are they clustered within a few firms? What groups are missing, over- or under-represented? Similarly, are your clients from a specific group or area? Think about your largest accounts. Who referred them to you? Was it a number of sources and groups?
Another characteristic of a network is the depth or types of relationships. It is critical to maintain a strong set of ties with a core network, which enjoys a circle of trust.
Sometimes extended networks are based on weak ties; they are more future-focused in terms of unanticipated or new opportunities. This is where the diversity principle applies – six degrees of separation – when someone in your network can get you around the world or in touch with anyone. An easy test is to look at your Outlook or contact management software. How many new contacts have you added this year?
Useful networks have the ability to leverage through various types of networks, including industry contacts, professional associations, private, public and non-profit sectors, community clubs and groups.
Leverage becomes possible if you are conscious about the density of your network.
But how do you tell? Well, there are lots of network assessment tools. A quick self-examination of your network will allow you to identify patterns and assess gaps. Network information relevant in evaluating the quality of your network relates to your contacts split by:
- gender;
- age (in decades);
- nationality;
- ethnicity.
Now look at the number of people who are more senior, at the same level, or junior. Then split them by company and functional area, and at what career stage they are. Review how many relationships can be considered close; how many are somewhat distant.
Finally, compare your current network against your short-to-mid-term goals. What group is over-represented? What key people or groups are missing? What ties should you strengthen? Where are you spending too much time? What network circles are underutilized? What circles should you connect?
There are many tactics you can use to strengthen and build a healthier network. The obvious one in the investment business is to ask for referrals or introductions. A less obvious – but highly effective tactic – is to create links across sectors of your network by making referrals. Ask for simple favours to initiate a relationship. It may seem trite but it is important to do all the trite stuff:
- write those thank-you notes;
- forward clippings;
- have a system;
- follow up on your activities; and
- help your network develop their own networks.
We can't think about networks in 2010 without including social media as tools to build and maintain networks. Linked In and Facebook were created to maintain networks. Managing your profile and personal brand with these tools is key. Use your business-facing online communities to develop and nurture relationships by providing content, introductions or value-added services. It is worth remembering, however, that your reputation and "personal brand" equity is only one click away, so ensure that all online medias represent you in a professional manner.
A recent research from the University of Southern California reports that 67% of women under 40 feel as strongly about their Internet communities as their offline ones, versus only 38% of the men.
The Judy Project approaches networks by challenging conventional notions, including the role of gender on networks.
Tiziana Casciaro, academic director of the Judy Project, and a leading scholar on social networks at the Rotman School of Management, points out in her research that "being liked" is a key part of building a network and most sources of liking are not gender-neutral.
Similarity, attractiveness and familiarity are all characteristics of how easily your network is built. Women and men mix personal and work networks differently. For most men, there is a significant overlap between personal networks, social support, friendship and professional networks. Women often have little overlap between personal networks (predominantly women) and professional networks, primarily men.
There is much controversy over women-to-women work networks. There are two competing stereotypes. In one case, work relationships among women are mutually supportive and based on solidarity. The competing stereotype is of work relationships that are difficult and competitive. Robin Ely, a renowned academic on gender, leadership and diversity and professor of organizational behaviour at Harvard Business School, and a guest lecturer at The Judy Project, has produced research that clearly identifies that firms with a few senior women signal that gender is a liability. Women are less likely to perceive senior women as role models with legitimate authority. Women are more likely to perceive competition in relation to women peers, and less likely to find support in women-to-women network relationships. Women-to-women networks within the organization work only if there's a sufficient proportion of senior women in the company.
The Judy Project
The Judy Project: An Enlightened Leadership Forum for Executive Women at Rotman School of Management was established in memory of Judy Elder, a well-known and respected business leader in Canada who passed away in March of 2002. Through her intelligence, tenacity, and ambition she reached the top ranks in several organizations including Microsoft Canada, IBM Canada, Ogilvy One and the Canadian Marketing Association. Whatever challenges she faced—either in business or in her equally important roles as wife and mother of two sons – Judy met them head-on while inspiring others to do the same. She was an advocate for career women, encouraging them to acknowledge and be proud of their ambition, to have an impact, make a difference and make things happen.
The Judy Project is a unique corporate-academic initiative that more than 30 national and multinational corporations have chosen to support. Participants must be nominated by their organizations. Alumnae of The Judy Project form a powerful, ever-growing network of female leaders who are committed to making a difference and to driving personal and organizational growth in the 21st century.
The Forum provides participants the network and skills they need to be effective and inspiring leaders while addressing the challenges they face. The goal is to build stronger business organizations through the advancement of more women into senior leadership positions. The unique Forum format enables participants to reach a new level of leadership success. The Judy Project is built as a latticework of three interrelated themes:
- Enhancing the participant's skill set and inspiring a new perspective on the role of leader;
- Challenging conventional thinking on leadership and established business behaviours including the role of gender on leadership
- Taking a holistic view of success.
At the conclusion of weeklong sessions, the Project also allows participants to form a personal advisory board (PAB), a group of seven to nine professionals who act as a participant's personal board of directors, aiding and guiding her over a number of years. Each PAB contains members from non-competing fields who come together for four hours every month. Proceedings are structured and confidential to allow a safe environment for brainstorming, objective feedback, networking, and leadership development. The experience is rich and the results from a "strong tie" perspective are very valuable.

How you enjoy your first marathon.
A couple of weeks have passed and I am still tingling from the experience of running my first full marathon in Vancouver, BC. The long frigid training runs in the middle of one of the harshest winters are just a blurry memory now that I have that medal around my neck. Here is how it played out: My boyfriend and I arrived in Vancouver a couple of days in advance to get used to the time zone difference of 4 hours. We deliberately planned on doing nothing those 2 days and we accomplished just that. We were staying with family so it was a pleasant visit. We moved to a hotel the night before and stayed the night of just to be close to the finish line.
We spent the afternoon at the Race Expo/ Wellness event. Wandering around and taking it easy on the legs.

AWS Certified Welding Inspector
Why get certified as a Welding Supervisor (CWS)?
According to a final report on Welding Supervisor Training and Certification, CWS helps reduce welding costs, helps increase productivity and profitability, and helps make a company more competitive by an average of $17,000 per welder per year!
As a Certified Welding Supervisor, your personal rewards can be significant as well. You gain valuable expertise that can expand your career: certification can bring higher pay, better job security and the professional prestige that marks your skills and knowledge as among the industry's elite.
What makes a Certified Welding Supervisor so effective?
Many supervisors have the potential to improve productivity significantly, but often lack the full knowledge and supportive skills to truly maximize their welding team's performance..
The AWS Certified Welding Supervisor program is designed to rectify these conditions by:
- Teaching welding supervisors how to lead their team to work even more productively and successfully;
- Sharing the body of knowledge all welding supervisors should know and understand to increase productivity and improve weld quality.

Become a Skilled Tradeperson
The demand for most trades is strong and getting stronger. The U.S. Department of Labor forecasts healthy growth in the neighborhood of 8 to 9 percent over the next decade. Jobs associated with building and rebuilding roads, bridges, water, and the power grid are expected to grow by double-digit percentages–faster than the overall economy.


text: I am actively in the market for the Model S, but not having a local Tesla store (I've seen the Bellevue mall store a few times) makes this a bit of a weird experience. I'm having a devil of a time finding local (Vancouver) companies who would be willing to lease this as they don't know how to get at a Tesla. I could finance it, but I remain a bit worried about resale values for a new category of car and would be much much happier if/when Tesla offers the resale value guarantee in Canada. Since I upgrade vehicles every 3-4 years, this will likely impact me. I spoke with Tesla sales today and they had no details to offer, but did mention the Scotiabank 3.99% financing (not a lease, just a regular car loan). Some sort of lease would at least set some residual value floor. I do think Tesla offering the resale value guarantee in the US will definitely keep the values up (it's a brilliant move for an upstart company in an unproven category) but without it in Canada I'm skittish. I was wondering if anyone would share how they found the sales experience in buying a Tesla in Vancouver? I tried calling the Vancouver service center a couple of times today and they didn't answer the phone, making me worry a little bit about the quality of support here. Is the service center involved at all in the sale aside from the vehicle delivery time? Did you do a trade-in at the time of your Tesla purchase? Does Tesla handle trade ins? (I forgot to ask my Tesla guy, and have another call in, but I suspect they wouldn't take tradeins since they aren't physically in Canada).

Stalmine's Jack Arnfield produced a career-best, dominant display to beat local hero Mick Hall at a raucous Preston Guild Hall,
The fight was halted at the end of round 11 with Prestonian Hall unable to continue.
By that point in this defence by Arnfield of the World Boxing Association middleweight title, Hall had a gruesome bump on his forehead that got bigger and uglier as the contest progressed.
Referee Howard Foster had seen enough and called the fight off, though by that stage Arnfield, showing an array of boxing skills allied to maturity, was probably a good six points in front.
Hall had to go to hospital immediately after the fight for what ringside medics at the Guild Hall described as a precaution, but his face was a sorry mess.
The injury caused by the accuracy of Arnfield's piercing jabs looked very nasty and from the second round onwards the brave Hall also suffered a cut above the left eye.
Arnfield, from Stalmine but announced as from Blackpool in the ring, now has his sights on a British middleweight title challenge and few would argue that he doesn't deserve it on this showing.
The only real scare came in the 11th round, a few seconds before the stoppage when Arnfield got uncharacteristically careless and was caught by a stinging right, the best single punch of the fight.
But it was the sheer number and accuracy of Arnfield's blows before that which saw him home and proved so decisive.

Since launching Goop in 2008, actress Gwyneth Paltrow has been a divisive presence in the burgeoning wellness industry. Her comments in a Wall Street Journal Magazine profile, in which she claimed claimed credit for making yoga popular, may end up making that ambivalence even stronger.
Paltrow was a subject of a puff piece in the magazine showing how she "is living her best life–and believes she can help you live yours better, too." To Goop's many adherents, that may ring true. But Paltrow's critics zeroed in on comments she made that appeared to take credit for popularizing yoga.
"Forgive me if this comes out wrong, but I went to do a yoga class in LA recently and the 22-year-old girl behind the counter was like, 'Have you ever done yoga before?' " Paltrow said in the interview. "And literally I turned to my friend, and I was like, '(She has) this job because I've done yoga before.' "
While Paltrow's use of "literally" may leave grammar nerds feeling as if their heads are about to explode, health professionals will surely be puzzled by another quote that seems to regard the age-old wisdom that food affects health as somehow radical in concept.
"That was the beginning of people thinking I was a crackpot," Paltrow said about Goop's founding in September 2008. "Like, 'What do you mean food can affect your health, you (expletive) psycho? I remember when I started doing yoga and people were like, 'What is yoga? She's a witch. She's a freak.'"
To be fair, the story notes that Paltrow's conversion to a healthier lifestyle began after her father faced surgery for throat cancer in 1998. And the comments read like flippant, off-hand remarks made in conversation, rather than for an interview for print. Nonetheless, they don't exactly mesh with reality.
For example, yoga has been popular in the U.S. for decades. According to Yoga Journal, Swami Vivekananda introduced yoga to the U.S. in the late 1800s. It slowly but steadily gained in popularity over the following decades. By the 1960s, there were books about yoga that sold millions of volumes, dozens of yoga studios, and even a TV show featuring yoga workouts.
A Harris survey that Yoga Journal commissioned in 2003 found that between 15 million and 18 million people, or between 7% and 9% of the population, were practicing yoga. What's more, the survey found:
more than 12% of the U.S. population, or 25.5 million people, is very or extremely interested in the practice of yoga; one in six respondents, or 35.3 million people, express the intention to try yoga within the next 12 months; and more than half of the general population, or 109.7 million people, has at least a casual interest in the practice of yoga.
What's more, a Google search of Goop's early web site–described by the Daily Beast as "a spare gray and white design and a vague promise of future inspiration"–shows only a handful of references to yoga before 2010, and most of those mentioning the practice only in passing.
Paltrow's comments were also greeted on Twitter with more that a raised eyebrow.
By some measures, Paltrow's Goop is a success: It's 2017 revenue was reportedly between $ 45 million and $ 60 million, up from a range of $ 15 million to $ 20 million a year earlier. But that growth has come with some controversies, such as the $ 145,000 settlement Goop paid this year for making unsupported medical claims about "jade eggs for your yoni."
If Paltrow wants to keep Goop's brand healthy, unsupported claims about making yoga popular won't help.

42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desolate place. – Luke 4
Jesus often went to desolate, lonely places. It was here that he was able to speak with the Father and re-center his busy life. Who are we to think that we don't need to do the same thing? We need to push ourself into lonely places. A lonely place can give us great advantages.
1. It helps us connect with the Father. Sometimes life is too loud and too busy to hear the still, small voice of God.
2. Time slows down, setting our body and soul back into rhythm. The rhythm that we call "normal" is often unhealthy. Can we really continue life at an insane pace?
3. We are able to get a big picture view of life. We need time to work on our life, not just in it.
4. We can breathe deep and rest. There is value in rest. Grab a nap in the lonely places. It may be one of the most spiritual acts you can do.
5. We are away from the distraction of constant emails, texts, and phone calls. With nothing else to fight for our attention, we are able to listen more closely to the words of God (see #1).
We need some lonely places in life. Most of us can't walk out of the office and tell the boss we just need some lonely time. (He may respond with giving us an extended amount of lonely time). However, we can find lonely times during the day. A silent commute, a few moments of quiet as you are on break or standing in line, a few minutes at the start or end of the day. Lonely times are not as far away as you may think. Even Jesus took time away in desolate, lonely places. Shouldn't we do the same?
Go be lonely.

Diamond thieves try desperately to escape from police by leading them on a car chase in an underwater tunnel between New Jersey and Manhattan. When they lose control of the vehicle and smash into a truck containing toxic chemicals, the truck explodes and caves in the roof of the tunnel. Taxi driver, Kit Latura, witnesses the accident as he is sitting outside of the tunnel in his car. As the former head of the New York City Emergency Medical Services, he knows that he can possibly save lives. Against the advice of others, he climbs into the tunnel through the ventilation fans. When he arrives, there is yet another explosion and water starts to seep into the tunnel.

text: The spelling thread got me thinking about this. Do you know anyone who uses words which don't even exist as part of their normal speech ? For example, I have a friend who often says TRET, as in "The waiters at the restaurant TRET us well last night". You can see what he's done. Many years ago he decided that if the past tense of Meet is Met, then the past tense of Treat must be Tret........ Any others?

Re-creating their Favorite Book
June 5th, 2012 in Crafts
I was looking for a quick project for the girls to do on a boring morning. I told them to go pick their favorite book and they could re-write/re-illustrate it in their own way. Abby picked one of those Pigeon Books by Mo Willems.
Funny thing is Abby's frustration came out through her book. She was really peeved off that morning that she had been asking for a stapler for days to "get some work done" but I couldn't find one. So her story took a turn for the worse—the pigeon fighting with/diving over/etc. a STAPLER!
Stapler is what he is flying over on this page.
It was fun to see what their new versions of their favorite books were.
