CAn this part now be flattened?
I do not use sheet metal that often but will make efforts to learn more
pls see attached
can this part be flattened?
I have not attempted your part yet, but after seeing your attempt I wish to revise my earlier statement.
Looks like if this is to work the Contour Roll should be created after the Face.
JD did you attempt to model this please.Would like to see correct solution
OK i have placed the Contour Roll after the face but still does not flatten.What am i doing wrong here?

Nutrition Consultant,

What is the best diet for weight loss and keeping it off?
I'm trying to put EVERYTHING into the equation: animal rights, ethics, economy, lifestyle, culinary arts, healthcare priorities and above all, reality...what works best and stays that way?
Vegan, local, paleo, moderation? All of these?
Are dairy products really bad for us? Since when? Worse than fast food? Is sugar really worse than honey?

Jun 5 2013: I'm not recommending this diet for anyone else because it hasn't been approved by the nutrition establishment, but for the last five years I have been living on skim milk. Every day I drink about two gallons of skim milk, and don't eat or drink anything else. I very quickly lost 80 pounds and have kept it off. I'm about six feet two inches and now generally weigh about 166.
Jun 5 2013: Thanks for commenting, Colleen. I was able to get a list of the recommended nutrients and recommended amounts one should get, these are called the Reference Daily Intakes as I recall, published by the Food and Nutrition Board of the U.S. Then I got what's in milk, these come from the Agricultural Research Service of the USDA, skim milk is NDB 01085 (NDB stands for Nutrient Data Base). I was able to compare on twenty nutrients. I found that skim milk was adequate for 13 of the 20, it was slightly lacking for four, and it completely lacked three, iron, fiber, and can't recall, either thiamine or niacin. So yes, it is missing.
But here's the rub: during the five years I lived on skim milk, I decided to try a more "establishment" diet of the kind the nutrition establishment recommends. At the time the "gold standard" was the USDA food pyramid, remember the food pyramid, it was printed on cereal boxes, the tip of the pyramid was some food group where you were only supposed to get one serving, then the next level was food groups where you were supposed to get two servings, and so on. Colleen, I felt lousy, my eyes ached and I was tired a lot. Then I went back to all skim, and I felt good again. So my impression is that my diet is better. But I want to say again that this has not been verified by professional nutritionists.
My theory is that milk is better for you because it is fluid, the body doesn't have to work as hard to process and use it. Solid food nourishes you, but in my mind it clogs you, it sits in you longer getting broken up and never gets as thoroughly broken up as milk.
I am working to try to get my diet approved. I am in in touch with the most recent chairwoman of the Food and Nutrition Board, and she is gathering contacts for me at the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, who in 2015 will release the new I think it's called Dietary Guidelines for Americans, it comes out every five years.
Jun 5 2013: Hi, Greg. I cannot believe you've only had skim milk for 5 years. I am thinking that probably the reason you felt lousy once you ate something else is that you were not used to processing solid food anymore. Your digestive system is designed to digest solid and liquid foods, and like any other system, it will deteriorate if you don't use it.
The food pyramid is only a general guide. You really need to see a specialist to improve your diet. You don't have to eat anything you don't like, but eating only one item is not healthy at all.
Jun 6 2013: Hi Greg,
If it works well for you....so be it.
It appears that our bodies were designed to consume solids as well as liquid, and I agree with Melisa, that the reason you may feel lousy when you eat something other than milk, is because the body is not used to it.
I eat very little meat now, and when I do have some, it sometimes causes the digestive system to feel a little uncomfortable.....especially with beef, which I may eat a little piece of once a year, or something like that. Friends who are mostly vegetarian experience this as well
Jun 6 2013: re if it works well for you..no, I don't think so, Colleen, I have written back to Melisa higher up, I think it's just that solid food is harder to process. I believe I could eat solid food for a year and I'd still feel bad, I can't prove this, or rather I don't want to prove it because it means I'll feel physically bad, but doesn't it stand to reason that fluid food like milk would be easier to process and use?
I hope I didn't hit you with too many obscure agencies and publications. Actually, if you google these a little, you'll find that they are the basic publications and top agencies in the field of nutrition. I'm somewhat educating myself about who to contact here, I have a degree from Stanford, but it's in English, not nutrition.
Jun 6 2013: That's what I meant Greg.....if it works for you....if you are happy with the results, and you feel healthy, that is what counts. I read all your comments on this thread:>)
No, honestly Greg, it does not "stand to reason that fluid food like milk would be easier to process...". As Melisa and I both said, it seems like the body was designed to digest solid foods.
Besides that, as I said before I LOVE food, and I feel healthy, so I would not give it up:>)
Jun 6 2013: thanks, Ms. Steen. The body is designed so that it can digest solid foods, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't have an easier time digesting fluid ones.
I'm not attempting to persuade you to give anything up. In fact, I can't even recommend my diet to anyone else. But for me it has been the best diet for weight loss and keeping it off.
Jun 6 2013: Well, what interests me Colleen is to see if this all-skim milk diet might help with diseases like cancer, AIDS, diabetes, and so on. Since it helped me with my eye discomfort, I rather have the impression that it would help with other diseases, for the same reasons, that milk is particularly easy for the body to process and use, and that it helps with weight loss. I'd like to get scientists interested in trying the diet for disease therapy, but first I have to get it approved as an acceptable diet, the nutrition establishment will say that it lacks certain nutrients, and they are right, I just think its strengths might outweigh its failings. So we'll see, for me it's an interesting project.
But I'm glad you're happy with whatever you're eating, I remember you're an outstanding gardener.

Iole on Buyrates between Mayweather vs JMM and UFC 103:
The UFC is a privately owned company and does not have to release its pay-per-view sales, which it chooses not to do. Occasionally, we're able to find out what a particular fight sold, but it's not often. From what I'm hearing, though, the Mayweather fight had a convincing victory. I'm hearing the Mayweather-Marquez pay-per-view is going to come in at or near 1 million sales. I don't have a verifiable figure for the UFC, but I believe it will be far lower than 1 million. The boxing number should be released by Thursday at the latest and perhaps on Wednesday.
Various websites had estimated that the Mayweather vs Marquez PPV was going to be at around 600K- 700K PPV buys. The UFC 103 PPV was estimated at around 400-600K PPV buys. We will find out the actual PPV numbers for the boxing event later on this week. There was extensive amount of advertising done by Golden Boy the last week of the event, specially in Southern California. This could have created a boost in the PPV buys.
Dana most likely saw the writing on the wall a few days before the events took place:
"Here's the reality, here's the reality. Let's say Floyd does a million buys out there… there's a million stupid fucking people out there. All right? That has nothing to say, that doesn't mean, oh God, boxing's better and bigger than the UFC, that's not true. The reality is, the UFC is bigger than boxing and the WWE combined. The funny thing about the Floyd Mayweather thing is he runs around and he says, you know, money money is all he's talking about, you know, they're paying me [unintelligible], you're fucking paying him that! You the fans are paying him that money! You talk about how much you fucking hate him and you don't like the way he fights and you don't want to see him run around in circles and you're the ones giving him that money."
I've heard from some good sources since last Tweet that it may even be as high as 1.6 million
If this did 1.5-1.6 million buys, this would be HUGE for boxing and completely unexpected by everyone.
More after the jump...
More MMA News:
Iole Makes the case that Signing Herschel Walker Will Be Good For Strikeforce and MMA:
Walker is 47 now and not likely to be anything more than a blip on the screen when it comes to making his mark as a fighter. But Walker may turn out to be a key player in helping MMA's march toward mainstream status.
Walker is a 1982 Heisman Trophy winner, College Football Hall of Fame member and a two-time Pro Bowl running back in the NFL. When he makes his MMA debut, sometime likely early next year, he'll bring with him hordes of attention.
Media that probably would never give MMA a second thought will write about Walker and talk about his motivations. His fight will get unprecedented media attention, much like one-time street fighter Kimbo Slice did before debut on CBS in 2008.
Iole on Walker's knowledge of MMA and as a good bridge to the Media:
Walker is an articulate man who has a great passion for MMA. I sat next to him at an Ultimate Fighting Championship card at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas in 2006 and talked about the sport for hours. He loved it, knew it intimately and was able to discuss it with ease.
There are many such athletes in MMA already, but non-MMA media pays them little mind. Walker can be one of the guys who helps to bring an extra level attention to the sport, which will subsequently help attract new fans to the game.
Had he gotten into MMA when he was in his athletic prime, he would have been a serious threat to become a heavyweight championship. He's an elite athlete with a rare combination of size, speed and power.
His contribution to the growth of the sport will likely not be measured by wins and losses and titles won, but rather by the impact he makes in attracting positive attention for the sport.
Iole on Strikeforce on CBS and the UFC on Network in the future:
Strikeforce is a quality promoion and I think it will do well with the programming on CBS. The UFC has become a major success without network TV, so its executives are going to be picky before they make the leap. The networks make promoters jump through a lot of hoops, but given that the UFC has been successful without network TV to this point, I don't think Dana White or owner Lorenzo Fertitta are inclined to jump. Strikeforce is becoming a national promotion now, but for most of its existence has been a regional promotion. This will help Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker get exposure for his brand and generate badly needed income. I trust Coker to do the right thing.
Cung Le on how many fights he has left with Strikeforce and his loyalty to Scott Coker:
KP: If you do come back, how many fights will you have left on the contract with Strikeforce?
CL: I'll have four fights left.
Cung Le compares pay between movies and MMA:
KP: So, just to give the fans some idea of the film environment context: how many fights would you need to take in order to balance out what you might make on your next film?
CL: Basically it depends on the part. I think the best thing to say would be that I'm one to two movies away from making seven figures. You could say that my next project, I'm expecting to make three times as much for 8-10 weeks of film work as I would for one fight.
Relationship between Cung and Coker:
Coming to the decision was not easy especially considering his long standing relationship with Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker. "It was a very difficult decision. I have been fighting and competing in martial arts since 1994. I turned pro in 1998. I have been with Scott Coker since 1998 when I signed with him. He put me on ESPN 2 on Strikeforce Kickboxing and made me fight for titles in super fights. Also we went over to K1 USA to do super fights and then when he opened up the mixed martial arts Strikeforce division I was part of his first show and my last show with him was against Frank Shamrock."
UFC 103 Spike Prelims Ratings from MMAJunkie:
ABC's broadcast of an NCAA college football game between top-ranked Texas and rival Texas Tech proved the highest-rated program in any Saturday night time slot.
The total viewership of 1.4 million viewers for UFC 103's preliminary card special earned Spike TV a 1.0 household rating.
While the figure pales in comparison to the Sept. 16 mark of 2.9 million viewers that tuned into Spike TV to watch "UFC Fight Night 19: Diaz vs. Guillard," the network will undoubtedly view Saturday's ratings as a success – especially when considering the event featured only preliminary card matchups.
With the UFC 103 buyrate possibly being less than the boxing PPV, only getting a 1.0 rating in Spike for the prelims, and with an estimated buyrate of around 400 - 600K PPV buys, I wonder if Zuffa will give us free prelims on Spike TV again. As a fan, I hope they were happy enough with those numbers to give us free prelims again.
Sengoku News:
According to Internet magazine"MIRUHON Net", SENGOKU lost about 1.5bilion Yen($15000000).in two years.........
and, MIRUHON said that ISHII Satoshi -SENGOKU contract is only in japan, ISHII can fight in other country's promotion
So, it seems that 2 years of running their promotion has cost Sengoku roughly about $15 - 16 million dollars. This was expected as they lost a ton of money in their first 6-8 months of operations, though it has been stated that they started to make some money earlier this year. It also doesn't hurt World Victory Road that Don Quijote is their main sponsors and are started to be heavily supported by other companies in Japan.
Also, it is very interesting to see that Ishii's deal is only exclusive in Japan, meaning that he can fight for any other promotion outside of Japan. If that is the case, expect Senogoku a similar deal to Gomi for their NYE show so Gomi could fight in the states as well.

View from the Cheap Seats is kind of an extension of the newsroom. Whenever our three regular reporters, Calvin Daniels, Thom Barker and Randy Brenzen are in the building together, it is frequently a site of heated debate. This week: How are you coping with the cold winter?
I'm now on the shady side of 50, and every one of those years lived right here in Saskatchewan.
That means I am well aware winters on the Canadian Prairies are chilly, all right make that cold, affairs.
But this current edition of winter seems particularly chilly. The Prairie wind has meant repeated mornings where windchill temps have pushed south of minus-30.
It is, by my recollection, the coldest winter in my aging memory banks.
So what does one do to combat cold day, after cold day, after colder day?
That is one of those questions which seems to be tossed around on cold days. The idea of cabin fever persists, and yet I have no clue why.
We are buffered today from winter by technology.
The car starts for many by remote control, meaning it is toasty warm when we climb into it. The garage door opens with a click of a switch.
But even without such techie miracles, winter even at its harshest is a time for each of us to indulge all those little interests we have.
Most have interests we would much rather delve into than go to work, they call them hobbies.
In my world the list of hobbies I am involved with is actually longer than the time I have to devote to them.
So cold weekends and long winter evenings when the wind howls outside are ideal for indulging in our passions.
There is a pile of books on my side table just waiting for me to have time to slip into the world contained in their pages. So far, according to my log at www.goodreads.com, I am now into my 14th book of the current year, and I haven't felt the cold reading a single page of any of them.
Then there is my gaming passion. There is always a miniature to glue, frustrating as the Drake minis I am currently working on might be, it is something winter is perfect for.
I love to fish, and while ice fishing might run counter to the stay warm theory of this article, learning to tie flies is perfect for winter. It is quite comfortable and definitely enjoyable hunched over the tying vice trying to create something which will attract a pike.
Mix in some decent television, fine series such as Elementary, Foyle's War and Blacklist, are worth time each week, and getting through winter, cold, or not, is just that hard.
So let the wind blow, and the temperatures plunge, finding ways to while away the winter hours in warmth is simply not that hard.
— Calvin Daniels
How am I dealing with the cold winter?
No, I am not in denial that it is cold. I am denying there is anything unusual about it.
It's Saskatchewan. It's winter. It's cold.
Since when did we get so bent out of shape about it?
Sure, one of our favourite pastimes in this part of the world is whining about the cold, but that takes second place to our number one pastime of being proud about how tough we are compared to the wusses in the Lower Mainland, Toronto and the U.S.
Granted, we may have gotten a tad spoiled over the past few years, which have been a bit milder, but this has just been a normal winter to me.
It's not like we don't all have insulated homes and furnaces and cars and coats and hats and long johns.
Maybe that has something to do with our collective eroding tolerance to the cold.
But how about the good things that come with the cold such as blue skies and sunshine? I've barely had to shovel my driveway all year.
Then there's the privilege of living in a prosperous country with benefits such as cheap flights to the Caribbean.
I've always liked winter for the activities too, skiing, skating, tobogganing. Last year, I discovered snowmobiling.
That's not to say, I won''t let out the occasional yelp of "crap, it's cold," but you won't hear any sustained complaints from me.
— Thom Barker
Think hot
How do I cope with the chilly winter weather?
First off I must mention that this is my first Canadian winter in over two years.
I was lucky enough to miss the last two winters due to living in the United Kingdom, where a cold day is anywhere from five above to five below zero.
There are several ways that I personally cope with the frigid cold of the Canadian, or more specifically, Saskatchewan, winter.
Hot chocolate. I've never particularly liked any hot beverage (I've never had coffee in my life and tea is, in my mind, a joke). But recently I've found a liking for hot chocolate. Especially the hot chocolate sold at the Kinsmen Rink (it's a godsend in that place!).
Another way I deal with the cold is to have nice, long, hot showers that chase the chills away from the bones.
If it's really cold I search for jobs in places such as the Dominican Republic, Australia or Cuba and sort of will myself to get warm.
The fourth, and quite possibly best, way to cope with the cold is to simply play with the dogs. Literally. Find yourself a furry friend and keep yourself entertained and warm all throughout winter (and spring… And summer… And autumn… And repeat).
While I complain about the cold (as do most people in this country) I must say: I do take pride in continually surviving the frigid winters. As does pretty much everyone in Canada.
— Randy Brenzen

Help prevent homelessness
Donations to the Ventura Homeless Prevention Fund may be made to:
UWVC/VHPF, c/o United Way of Ventura County, 1317 Del Norte, Suite 100, Camarillo, CA 93010
For more information, call 212-4856.
Re: your Oct. 3 article, "Safety nets help those in county who face eviction":
The article by Star reporter Kathleen Wilson touched on some of the issues facing the estimated 80,000 to 100,000 residents at risk for homelessness in Ventura County. It's hard to include everything in any one article. As a follow-up, I'd like to share with our community how they might be part of the solution in preventing homelessness in Ventura.
Although the face of the homeless is often the chronic homeless person living on the streets, that is only 15 percent of the homeless population in our community. Most of the homeless are working individuals and families who cycle in and out of homelessness because of poverty. We often don't see them living in their cars or temporarily housed in a shelter or taken in for a few nights by a friend here or there. But they're out there. In the city of Ventura, 15,000 people earn less than $25,000 per year, placing them at risk of homelessness.
Each time one of these families becomes homeless, there are many resources that must be found to get them back into a home. It costs thousands and takes many more resources to get people housed again than it does to keep them in their housing. They have to come up with another security deposit, first and last months' rent — not to mention trying to find a place that's affordable. Research clearly indicates that it is much less costly and much better for the families if we can keep them in housing. This can often be accomplished with minimal financial and social support — sometimes as modest as one month's rent or paying for a car repair — proving, without a doubt, that preventing homelessness is not only the right thing to do, it's the smart thing to do.
That's why the Ventura Social Services Task Force has begun a homeless-prevention effort aimed at keeping people in their homes. In collaboration with Catholic Charities, Project Understanding, Salvation Army and United Way Ventura County, the task force has developed the Ventura Homeless Prevention Fund.
The Ventura Homeless Prevention Fund allows qualifying residents of Ventura to receive one-time financial assistance for up to $1,000 or so to address special circumstances that put them at risk for homelessness. These funds are aimed at assisting individuals and families who have housing, but are at severe risk of becoming homeless due to an extraordinary setback.
Imagine a disabling injury that prevents a tradesman from working for a couple of weeks or a needed car repair that prevents the family breadwinner from getting to his night job. Oftentimes, these are the types of setbacks that leave people unable to pay the rent or mortgage, potentially forcing them to live in a car or on the streets.
This fund is used exclusively to assist people maintain their housing. Our goal this year is to raise $60,000 to prevent more than 50 families in Ventura from becoming homeless. We need your help to reach our goal. The Rotary, United Way and a number of individuals have donated to the fund so far.
Recently, the Unitarian Universalist Church of Ventura raised nearly $2,900 through two special offerings designated for the Ventura Homeless Prevention Fund. The Unitarian Universalists extend a friendly challenge to other congregations in Ventura to do the same.
In addition to the Ventura Homeless Prevention Fund, the task force has subcommittees working on tactics within Ventura to implement the 10-year Strategy to End Homelessness in Ventura County. We invite those interested to participate on the housing, education or prevention subcommittees, which meet next as follows:
— Prevention: Oct. 24, 4:30-5:30 p.m. at Supervisor Bennett's office, County Government Center, 800 S. Victoria Ave., Ventura.
— Housing Options: Nov. 14, 6:30 p.m., at the Salvation Army on Oak Street in Ventura.
— Education: Nov. 14, 3-5 p.m., Unitarian Universalist Church, 5654 Ralston St., Ventura.
— Karl Keller, of Ventura, is chairman of the Ventura Social Services Task Force.

WACO - A local man is accused of sexually assaulting two young children, one boy and one girl, in the summer of 2011.
The Waco Police Crimes Against Children Unit, assisted by the Advocacy Center, conducted forensic interviews and investigated the case. After the case had been investigated, Waco Police obtained the warrant and arrested 21-year-old Matthew Ruston.
The victims, both under the age of ten, told their mother about their encounters. The mother then reported it to police, who in January of this year handed the matter over to city officers.

Jurors heard closing arguments in the murder trial of accused cop killer William Woodard in a DeKalb County courtroom on Thursday.
Woodard's lawyers spent the last two weeks arguing that the defendant was a man who was "fearing for his life" when he shot two off duty officers in DeKalb County in January, 2008. During the trial, Woodard told a DeKalb County Superior Court jury that he fired in self-defense, afraid that they were going to shoot him.
Woodard, 34, is accused of gunning down DeKalb County police officers Eric Barker and Ricky Bryant while they worked off duty security jobs at an apartment complex.
Defense attorney Bill Morrison told jurors that "the state has not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Woodard did not act in self-defense."
In addressing the jury, defense attorney Dwight Thomas described the case as "a classic Troy Davis prosecution. Everybody saw snapshots, nobody saw the whole picture. You don't have to let someone keep beating you even if it is the police. You don't have to wait to be shot at to fire a shot in self-defense."
Thomas also told jurors that the DeKalb County Police Department manipulated evidence at the crime scene to protect its own.
Defense attorneys wrapped up their arguments just before noon.
Prosecutors then began their arguments. DeKalb County District Attorney Robert James described the officers as heroes, not thugs with authority like defense attorneys tried to portray them. James also told the jurors that there's no physical evidence Woodard was beaten that night by Barker and Bryant.
Jurors began deliberating around 3:45 p.m. By 6:00 p.m., the jury had already posed two questions to the judge. They asked to hear police radio traffic the night of the shootings. While listening to that traffic, they wanted to hear the testimony of the commander of the 911 call center.
If convicted, Woodard could get the death penalty.

We get another home grown Bronco!!
WR Jackson Reed out of Timberline High School in Boise will join the Bronco's in the fall as a Walk On. At 6'4 215, he could play as a WR, or could put on some weight and line-up at TE. I'm proud to be a Bronco for many reasons, but nothing gets me more giddy than to see the success of our walk ons. Hopefully this young man can be the next.

A nearly flawless final 18 holes and great green play propelled Zach Johnson to the top spot at the BMW Championship. The win was the 10th of his career.
Johnson opened the round trailing 3rd round leader Jim Furyk by 3 strokes, but a bogey free round, and birdies at holes 2, 7 and 8 quickly pulled him within a stroke of the lead. Johnson put himself on the top of the leader board with a solid 13 foot putt at the 12th to move himself to 14 under.
It was at the 16th, when things really turned his way. Johnson sat inches in to the first cut of rough off the green, but hit a brilliant, curving, downhill birdy putt to the bottom of the cup for the outright lead. A birdy, par finish sealed the deal.
The win catapulted Zach Johnson from 27th to 4th in the FedEx Cup standings.

In today's business world, we deal with hundreds of files everyday and it becomes really cumbersome to manage them. It becomes even worse when we have to periodically copy and rename files so we can restore to any previous versions if we make or find any mistakes. In such scenarios, we end up sieving through a confusing list of differently renamed files just to discover the latest version of a document. So what do we do?
File versioning in Vembu File Sharing is an amazing process that lets businesses and their users 'go back in time'. Each time a file is changed, a new version is created and users can rollback to any previous versions of the files. It basically eliminates the need to create multiple files of a single document to retain changes and versions. With the automatic file versioning option, Vembu File Sharing helps businesses to create a collaborative workspace for their users to work effectively without worrying about manually saving every new version of the files.
Granular version history
With the version history option in Vembu File Sharing, users will get complete control over their files with granular information such as: the email id of the user who modified the file, the time at which the file was modified and the device & OS information.
Download & restore any version
Vembu File Sharing captures any changes made to a file, creates a new version and let the users manage any number of file versions. Users can download any previous version of a file for reviewing and auditing purposes and also revert back to any version to make it the most recent (current) version.
Capture file activities
With the new Activities tab, admins and file owners will have the ability to track and monitor any file activities in a collaborative environment. It also provides the option to filter activities based on time and users along with the option to download it as a CSV file for further auditing purposes.
Do you still maintain a list of files to preserve your file versions? Get smart and manage your files effectively with the automatic file versioning option in Vembu File Sharing.

Felting a Family…
Today, I was looking back through some photos I had recently taken and this one happened to get my attention..a loving family that sits on my constituency office desk in St. Anthony.
Carol Roberts of St. Anthony is a fiber artist. She works with wool product and other textiles to create. Thank you Carol for sharing your talent with me. The concept of spinning wool on the Great Northern Peninsula has only been lost by a few recent generations. The spinning wheel would be found in some early settler homes as they would create their own home spun sheep's wool to make knitted stockings and other articles of clothing.
This summer Ms. Roberts along with a friend had taken a spinning wheel and started introducing new people to the process at Grenfell Heritage Days this past July. This is an exciting step because we have incredibly talented people in the region that are interested in small-scale craft production. There is opportunity to network, take workshops and make and sell product. I personally would like to see a craft co-operative established.
Rural sustainability is built on our ability to utilize the resources and enhance our skill set to get best value from them. There is opportunity for more raising of sheep in the District, selling and carding of wool and the creation of unique wool products that are of high-value, such as the items depicted above. If you like Ms. Roberts' felted family or other products, many are available at Grenfell Heritage Shoppe at the Grenfell Interpretation Centre in St. Anthony.
Is a fiber arts or textile festival something to consider for the future on the Great Northern Peninsula?

News Release: The French Shore Historical Society To Launch The Centre For Textile Art
More developments in Conche, NL according to News Release:
P.O. Box 29, Conche, NL A0K 1Y0
Tele: 709-622-3500 Fax: 709-622-3510
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
For Immediate Release Contact: Joan Simmonds/Colleen McLean 709-622-3500
CONCHE, NL ———- On July 26, 2011 the French Shore Historical Society will officially open a Centre for Textile Art. The purpose of the Centre will be to encourage the art of handmade textile crafts and to promote the art and history of textile-based traditions, especially of the Northern Peninsula. The Centre will focus on the historical textile development of northern Newfoundland by acquiring, preserving and making accessible a research collection of textiles and relevant documents. It will sponsor exhibitions, conferences, symposia, oral history projects, publications, fellowships and grant funded initiatives.
Since its founding in 2000, the French Shore Historical Society has showcased textile work by craftspeople in the region, including exhibitions of hooked rugs, knitting, embroidery, and included textile objects in its permanent exhibit. It has sponsored several workshops on textile art and in 2009 added the unique French Shore Tapestry, embroidered by women from Conche, as a major part of its exhibit.
In 2010, as a foundation for developing the centre, a research project was undertaken by the French Shore Historical Society in partnership with the Port au Choix – St. Anthony Regional Council of the Rural Secretariat. The purpose of the research was to document the traditional craft skills on the Great Northern Peninsula, with particular attention to crafts using or creating textiles. An inventory of the research, done by Memorial University student Lisa Wilson, can be accessed by visiting the MUN Digital Archives Initiatives.
In the Fall of 2010 a steering committee was created and consists of:
Anne Manual – Craft Council of Newfoundland and Labrador
Barb Hunt- Grenfell Campus, Corner Brook
Brenda Stratton – Dept. of Innovation, Trade and Rural Development
Candace Cochrane – Quebec Labrador Foundation
Denise White – Dept. of Innovation, Trade and Rural Development
Gerry Pocius – Memorial University of Newfoundland
Joan Simmonds – French Shore Historical Society
Lisa Wilson – MUN Research Student
Nina Mitchelmore – Regional Planner for Rural Secretariat
Susan Furneaux – College of the North Atlantic
The French Shore Historical Society is a non-profit organization founded to preserve the natural and cultural heritage of the communities of Conche , Croque, Grand Oies/St. Julien's and Main Brook on the Northeast coast of Newfoundland. The FSHS has successfully managed many projects which have created great economic benefits, employment opportunities, and great tourism potential on the Great Northern Peninsula.
The Opening will be a Basket Weaving Workshop with Helga Gillard . Funding was provided by the International Grenfell Association through fundraising efforts of the French Shore Historical Society.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials say a toxic fungus impacting bats has made its way to Fern Cave in Jackson County.
The fungus — known as white-nose syndrome — has already affected bats in Georgia and Tennessee. Officials Monday announced Alabama's first case of the disease in the cave at the Wheeler Wildlife Refuge. The deadly disease has reached the home of the world's largest wintering colony of bats.
Officials say the latest cases are "extremely alarming and could be catastrophic." Bats contract the illness from other bats and humans are not at risk. The epidemic has killed nearly 7 million bats in 22 eastern states and five Canadian provinces since 2006.
Researchers have estimated the economic value of bug-eating bats to agriculture at $22 billion or more.

6Damian Lewis Is "Sorry" For That Whole "Fruity Actor" Thing
Damian Lewis realized his homophobia was showing (or his handlers did, anyway) when he complained about not wanting to end up like some "fruity, over-the-top" actor like Ian McKellen if he stayed in the theatre. So, in order to salvage his career – which is only sorta so/so level and will sink to nothingness post-Homeland – he's put out an "apology" which is totally not heartfelt in any way.
"I am hugely embarrassed that comments of mine have been linked in a negative way to Sir Ian McKellen. I have always been, and continue to be, an enormous fan and admirer of Sir Ian's.
"He's one of the greats and one of the reasons I became an actor. My comment in The Guardian was a sound bite I've been giving since 1999 – it was a generic analogy that was never intended to demean or describe anyone else's career.
"I have contacted Sir Ian McKellen and have given him my sincerest apologies."
Sorry bro, but as a straight man, you don't have the right to call anyone "fruity". That's not something that's okay, especially given that he clearly meant it in a derogatory way. He's a big strong man, who wants to be FRUITY? Fuck off. Also, he's been saying that shit since 1999? It was a "generic analogy"? I doubt he'd make a "generic analogy" about how he didn't want to end up like some "ghetto black person" or any of that bullshit – it's the same thing.
The best "sincere apology" here would have been his realization that language like that is inappropriate and also hurtful to those who have been bullied or abused throughout their lives because of their sexuality, or even their perceived sexuality. It's reenforcing the idea that the only way to be a real man is by having no feminine characteristics whatsoever. I realise that in Damian Lewis' small brain, he probably doesn't realise any of this, but I sure do, and I'm not feelin' it.

"Your job" is too slag people all day taking shots a kids who fuck up and you enjoy it waaaaaaaaay to much. He said he was sorry get over yourself Ms Moral Authority.
Hell, I never knew Sir Ian was gay…. Guess it never seemed important to me. He's a brilliant actor, as are the other classically trained Shakespearean stage actors, and seems like a great guy. Btw, Ive called most of my gay friends a "fruit"at some point in our friendship, never bothered them in the least.
Anonymous – please, have a seat. This is a GOSSIP site and you're here reading and commenting, so sit down.
That said, I'm team McKellan for life. I was completely ambivalent about Lewis before this comment, but he's kinda gross now. I loved Band of Brothers, but I can't remember a smash hit that he's been attached to – maybe he has but he was forgettable? I don't know. I've heard that Homeland has gone to crap in seasons two and three. He should be so lucky to have a career with the longevity and success that Sir Ian has received. And he's so seriously loveable with Patrick Stewart, their pictures never fail to bring a smile to my face. And Lewis has never done that for me.
Take a seat?? when someone apologies and the other person accepts that is the end of it. why is that not enough for 3rd party observers
He f*cking WISHES he could end up like SIR Ian McKellen! What a douche
You "tolerant liberals" kill me. He's allowed to have an opinion. He's allowed to express it anyway he wants. I NEVER hear this kind of upheaval when say, a TV announcer mentions pissing and shitting in Sarah Palin's mouth. Oh…right….that's "different"….tolerant my ass.

Today I decided to drive around in my Donot car along the road of life. It broke down somewhere between Whatsthe Point and Crying Streams. I looked for the exit but there were no rest stops in sight. I asked passersby about the happy median, but no one had seen it for miles. Tried the emergency phone, but kept getting wrong numbers. Seems I had gotten a flat tire from the depression in the road. Tomorrow I think I'll give my Tryand Car a try. Wish me luck.

Tell me
My son, My son. Please, tell me there will be a cure in your lifetime. That you will not have to suffer as I do. That you will not have to rely on medications your whole life and have to pray they keep working. Tell me you will have a choice to live up to your potential. That everyday life will not become a burden to you. Tell me I am not to blame for birthing you into this life we have to lead. Tell me it's OK that you have Bi-Polar Disorder as I do. Please, tell me you will not end up like me.
down deep in the hole again,
depression my old frienemy,
looking up,
searching for the light,
trying not to let this get to me,
crying, praying, shouting out,
"Why me" rears his ugly head,
remember what it's all about,
quickly put him back to bed,
knowing I must carry on,
knowing I will carry on,
knowing I can carry on,
I face the day anew.
Being a non-smoker
I am once again a non-smoker. Notice I do not say "I have quit smoking." My husband and I were smokers. We decided to stop. We took advantage of a church sponsored,three day camping trip, to give us a head start. We took no smoking materials and did very well. A few days later, still not smoking, I had an epiphany. We weren't quitting a bad habit, we were taking back a good habit that we had had for the majority of our lives. I can not say how much easier it is to look at a cigarette or a smoker and not want one, when I think "I am a non-smoker," instead of thinking about how I have just quit smoking. Here's to being the non-smoker I was born as.
Falling down,
The slope steepens again,
jack and jill,
now climb a mountain instead,
the Well of Life,
so close and yet so far,
why must my path,
change into a quagmire,
every time,
I feel the wind on my face,
see the top,
it happens,
I fall down again.
Don't Pity Me (a song)
There's a murder of crows in your front yard
Just a subtle reminder that you went too far
There's a voodoo doll in my side drawer
With your picture on it
Don't pity me
I'm not helpless anymore
What's sanity?
But a house without a door
Between you and me
I am all the better for
The day I lost you
There's a tingle down my spine that I can't explain
When you're treating me wrong
And I don't complain
There's a darkness inside that will not be tamed
But I'm glad I lost you
Don't pity me
I'm not helpless anymore
What's sanity?
But a house without a door
Between you and me
I am all the better for
The day I lost you
And I'm glad I lost you
you try so hard,
yet fall so short,
soon we'll have answers,
why it's so hard,
for you to sit still,
why you act out,
keep trying my love,
you are my big boy.
I wrote this in 6th or 7th grade
One light,
Barely touches the dark,
one soul,
cries out in the dark,
morning comes,
don the mask,
play pretend,
night falls,
darkness comes,
the tears fall down,
their well known path again.
once again he rears his ugly head,
the monster inside you,
anger, rage,
you lash out,
the monster in control,
calm again,
you plead,
I just want to go home.
first step
Lost in limbo,
waiting for answers,
they can never be found,
without movement,
there are no grounds,
for life or communication,
you must take a step,
waiting brings atrophy,
I'll wait no more,
first step is the hardest.
Coming Soon
My sweet baby boy,
truly now,
a baby no more,
coming soon,
a kitchen party's fun,
6 years old,
where has the time gone.
now is the time
to put aside
those things unnecessary to life
no more soda
no more smoking
now is the time
to say yes to health
and so I do
Now is the time
to be a healthier me
Hello new me
Now I welcome you.
goodbye my old unwanted friend
seeker of misery
the reflection in the mirror
that won't shut up
goodbye feelings of worthlessness
hopelessness is no more
hope sprouts golden in the sun
the future seems brighter
goodbye past hurts and mistakes
I forgive you your transgressions
I forgive me
Today I take my first step into the dawn.
Moving on
living on
day by day
pushing through pain
through sorrow and defeat
leave the past behind
find self worth
defeat gives way to victory
today I move on.
C oming apart
H oping for salvation
A llow for mistakes
L et go of guilt
L et go of shame
E verything changes
N ever give up
G o for broke
E ventually you will make it.

Basketball Betting - Line Moves in College BasketballSports bettors, both novices and veterans alike, would benefit greatly by taking the time to study line moves each day. The various sportsbooks spend a great deal of time and money creating odds on sporting events, so line moves are generally viewed as a mistake on somebody's part. Either the oddsmaker, the person setting the odds, or the sports bettors causing the line to move, are going to be wrong.
There are three primary reasons why the line will change on a basketball game:
The amount of money bet on one sideWhen the sportsbooks are getting a lot of action on one team, they will change the line to attract money on the other side to help balance their books. Lines can be moved in terms of the point spread, for football or basketball betting, or the odds will be adjusted for baseball and hockey betting. If the sportsbooks get the same amount of money wagered on each side in a contest, a profit can be assured.
Who bets on one sideSomebody known by sportsbooks to be a winning bettor can cause the odds to change even with a small wager, while somebody unknown to the sports books can make a much larger bet and not affect the odds.
Team personnel movementThe odds will also change if a player, or players, will miss a game and it wasn't factored into the opening line.
Late injuries, suspensions, and illness are the main culprits here.
The Key NCAA Line MovementsThere are two line movements college basketball bettors should give extra consideration to. The first is the opening line movement when bettors wager into the opening numbers put out by the bookmakers. Pay extra attention to movements in games between smaller, lesser-known teams. A line movement of several points in a game between Iona and Sienna is generally more meaningful than the line movement in a game between Kentucky and Florida.
The second line movement basketball bettors should be on the watch for are those that occur between 6 and 7 p.m. EST, especially when they involve small schools on the East Coast.
As a general rule, college basketball has been more popular on the East Coast than on the West Coast. There doesn't appear to be one primary reason for this, but instead is probably a combination of several factors, including the time difference, as many college basketball games begin at 4 p.m. PST, while people are still at work; and the weather, as winters on the East Coast tend to keep people indoors more. There are likely other contributing factors, as well.
As a result, college basketball bettors on the eastern side of the country are generally more knowledgeable than basketball bettors on the west, especially in those games involving teams from the East Coast. The illegal bookmakers typically open for business at 6 p.m. EST and as they receive bets from their clients, they will lay-off (bet with other bookmakers, thus eliminating any risk) those wagers from bettors with a history of winning, or on those games where they are getting a lot of money on one side. This will eventually change the point spreads offered in Nevada and by the offshore sportsbooks.
Many years ago, a basketball bettor could show a healthy profit simply by following all of the line moves that took place within 45 minutes of the bookies on the East Coast opening for business. The proliferation of Internet gambling has diminished its success a bit, not to mention that the Internet has made sports bettors, and oddsmakers, smarter as a whole.
But there is still plenty of value for a college basketball bettor to spend a bit of time each day and follow the line movements. Anything a sports bettor can do to help get the edge over the house is time wisely invested.

Another powerful storm is going to bring rain and even snow to the northeast. Some parts will see up to half a foot of snow.
That's not helping some valley power crews who traveled to the east coast to help people get their electricity back.
Three dozen APS workers took off from sunny Phoenix last week to help repair downed power lines in Sandy's aftermath. They were expected to return home soon, but now could be gone for several more weeks thanks to the new storm coming their way.
APS crews are working hard in Long Island helping to restore power after Superstorm Sandy. Now they're facing another challenge -- freezing weather from a nor'easter moving in.
"When we got out here, we expected the unexpected. And this is just another example of some of the conditions that we're facing," said APS worker Steven Gotfried via Skype.
As we were talking, the storm moved in.
"Yeah it is raining on the camera -- there's water on it. Let me dry it off and we'll start over."
Then things got worse.
"As a matter of fact the rain has just turned to snow -- and it's turning back to rain again so we're getting a little bit of snow flurries built into the freezing rain," said Gotfried.
New before-and-after satellite images from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) show the extent of Sandy's devastation. Neighborhoods are wiped out -- places where Gotfried and 35 other APS workers are now racing against the clock to restore power before the next storm moves in.
"Cold is not the problem. Rain is not the problem. It's the high winds… We are working 16 hour days. It's 16 hours on, 8 hours off."
Gotfried said safety is the number one priority, and crews can't work on repairing power lines when winds get too strong. They are expecting that this nor'easter could take down even more power lines.

Don't Be A Turkey!
Stacey Johnson fundraising for Bread for the City
Don't be a turkey. Contribute to Holiday Helpings and enable us to PROVIDE turkeys!
Thanksgiving is over, and you haven't yet made your donation. Oh no! Missed opportunity! Or not...
It's STILL Turkey Time at Bread for the City!
Bread for the City provides turkeys all through December, as well! Some families prefer to delay their Butterball Drama until Christmas, and so we are here to help. While there are fewer families who choose to get their turkey in December, there are still thousands of families who are in need of groceries each month. Your donation will help our food pantry (the largest in the city) continue to provide a monthly bag of fresh meat, fresh fruits & vegetables to these families year-round.
For the low low price of $29, you could help us provide a complete Christmas meal (turkey and all the trimmings) to a family of four. As the person at Bread who is in charge of maintaining our Resource Manual, I can say with some authority that we are the only ones out there who are providing this many turkeys with so few restrictions.
Bread for the City is a pretty awesome place and I am proud to say that I've worked there for the last 9 years. Most recently, I created and now manage the Housing Access Program (HAP) to help our clients identify and apply for various subsidized housing units in the city. I could make you cry with a heart warming story of someone whom I have helped or who has benefitted greatly from our services ('cause you know there are plenty), but instead I'll just implore you to donate.
Don't be a turkey!

News: Alicia Keys Breaks Silence On Swizz Beatz & Their South Africa Trip
Friday, Jun 18, 2010 10:20AM
Grammy-winning singer Alicia Keys has broken her silence on her recent trip to South Africa with fiancee Swizz Beatz.
In the blog post, Keys talked about Beatz going out and helping a small area in Johannesburg called Soweto.
"Swizz couldn't get Ezimbuzini, the slum we visited in Soweto, out of his mind. He immediately got up early [one] morning and bought clothes for the ENTIRE village!!! Wooooowwww! He had promised he would go back and when he came back, everyone was SO excited to see him! "SWIZZYYYY!!!!" They yelled!!! And with the help of the beautiful residents, along with the people he brought with him to deliver the gifts, everything was perfectly organized and everyone got something new to wear! The whole village was ecstatic and grateful that he showed them so much love and his presence proved to them that our support wasn't just temporary." (I Am A Superwoman)
Keys is currently traveling throughout South Africa to help bring awareness to the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
In order to check up on all that we do, see what other ways we can help and things that are needed Keep A Child Alive along with myself has made its pilgrimage back to Africa, as South Africa host the World Cup 2010, to visit the sites and people we serve. This is the work we ENSURE is done. This journey is imperative to continue to move forward. We also brought along 5 winners from the text "Alive" contest we ran where 5 people accompany me on this journey to see, learn, witness and participate in the HIV/AIDS pandemic and the surrounding issues. Their lives will forever be changed as mine was. (I Am A Superwoman)
Reports of Beatz and Keys' engagement made headlines in late May.
Alicia Keys is in a motherhood state of mind: She's pregnant with her first child. The Grammy Award-winning R&B singer has been dating producer Swizz Beatz, who has written hits for Beyonce (bee-AHN'-say), Jay-Z and others. They're engaged to be married at a private ceremony later this year. Representatives for the couple confirmed the news Thursday night. (Associated Press)
After the news broke out, SOHH spoke with Beatz's longtime friend/collaborator Sean Garrett to get his reaction.
"Swizz is a great dude man," Garrett told SOHH. "I'm just so happy for him too for his new baby on the way and Alicia, I'm just happy my man found love. Honestly. He has a lot of love in his heart and he's a good dude. He deserves the best. I just saw him a couple days ago and like friends do, that's my man and you know, I'm about to send him a box of cigars. I'm just happy for him, you know, at the end of the day we've all been very blessed in this game and been able to make some incredible money and have both been able to enjoy some extreme success...Of course I congratulated him on the new little baby on the way and a good relationship. You always gotta be happy to see any of your friends in love. This is really deeper than money." (SOHH)

Locals find homefield advantage
Linfield has a long-standing tradition in athletics. People come from all around the world to be Wildcats. Zeroing in on McMinnville, it makes students wonder "why here?" What has made Linfield so special for athletes to choose a small, Division III college? Linfield is obviously not as big as Oregon State University or the University of Oregon. And though our sport teams are good, can we compare with these big schools and what they have to offer their athletes?
While Linfield has athletes from diverse backgrounds, the students who are from the area have planted their roots and continued to grow in Yamhill County, determining that there are plenty of reasons to go to school and compete in sports at Linfield.
Linfield has 19 varsity programs, in which 20 student athletes are from Yamhill County.
While not all 20 could be reached, five local athletes knew Linfield was right for them for a number of reasons.
Senior Nic Miles is from Amity, Ore. Traveling less than 15 minutes away, the cross country runner chose Linfield for the familiar team feeling that the Wildcats gave off.
"There's something incredibly familiar about waking up and running here in McMinnville," Miles said. "It feels like I'm back in Amity with my high school team. It was an easy adjustment to make. It also meant that I would have the opportunity to pursue other leadership roles, such as student government and Greek Life."
Fellow runner and McMinnville local, senior Lucian Battaglia, also chose Linfield. Running long distance for the men's cross country team and the men's track and field team, Battaglia made the decision to go to Linfield based on the atmosphere and the small class sizes.
"The reality that I can continue cross country and track was definitely a plus," Battaglia said. "I continued running for two reasons. The first was competing in a sport is a great way to make friends.
The second was I knew I could be of help to the team and that was enough for me to join the team. [I had heard that] the cross country and track program at Linfield were superb with Garry Killgore, and I still think it is top quality."
Sophomore Victoria Thompson hails from nearby Newberg, Ore. The volleyball player had similar reasons to Battaglia for choosing to be a Wildcat, but the ultimate deciding factor was her family.
"Having [my family] being able to watch me play means the world to me and them," Thompson said. "Other than Minnesota, my mom has yet to miss a game."
A member of the men's basketball team, sophomore Brandon Harris stayed in his hometown to attend Linfield, making the decision to stay based on the fact that Linfield had everything he wanted.
"I chose Linfield because of its academics and the fact that it had the right program for me and the major that I wanted to pursue," Harris said. "Also, I wanted to continue to play basketball in college, and I knew that Division III would give me the best opportunities. I already had a relationship with Coach Doty, so I knew that he would give me an opportunity and that I would enjoy playing for a familiar and experienced coach."
While the appealing campus and warm atmosphere was what sophomore Lauren Sherrard was looking for, she chose Linfield to be close to her home and family in Newberg, Ore. The basketball player has built a community of Linfield, building her connection to the area even more.
"I made my decision to come to Linfield for a few reasons," Sherrard said. "I fell in love with the campus and the atmosphere. I liked the small class sizes and the close-knit community feel."
"But really one of the main reasons was that I wanted to stay close to home for my little brother," Sherrard said. "He and I are really close and I wanted to be able to still be there for him." While each student has a different reason for attending Linfield, these Wildcats have made it clear that this is where they belong.

Burn Pit Registry...
The VA is collecting info on service members who believe they experienced harmful environmental effects to their health from exposure to burn pits in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Currently, the VA says that research does not show evidence of long-term health problems from expo-sure to burn pits, in which a variety of waste from human to chemicals, petroleum and discarded food were burned. But it is also studying the issue and plans to continue doing so. To that end, the agency is seeking information from veterans who believe such exposure has compromised their health.
Veterans can also file a claim for disability compensation for health problems they believe were caused by exposure to burn pits. The claims will be decided on a case-by-case basis.
According to the VA, veterans who were closer to burn pit smoke or exposed for longer
periods may be at greater risk. Health effects depend on a number of other factors,
such as the kind of waste being burned and wind direction. Toxins in burn pit smoke
may affect the skin, eyes, respiratory and cardio-vascular systems, gastrointestinal
tract and internal organs. Most of the irritation is temporary and resolves once the
exposure is gone. This includes eye irritation and burning, coughing and throat irritation,
breathing difficulties, and skin itching and rashes. The high level of fine dust and
pollution common in Iraq and Afghanistan may pose a greater danger for respiratory
illnesses than exposure to burn pits, the VA said.
The online registry and additional information are at:
Job Fair Info:

FRAUD ALERT: Veterans should be aware of a marketing scam targeting callers trying to reach the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Call Center or GI Bill Call Center. A marketing company has established two fraudulent numbers that differ from the two official VA call center numbers by one digit. If the fraudulent number is dialed by mistake, the answering party will offer a gift card and try to obtain personal and financial information, including credit card information, from the caller. The answering party may even transfer the caller to the VA after the caller's information is obtained. Note that VA will never ask you for a credit card number or banking information over the phone. Before giving personal sensitive information over the phone make sure you know who you are taking to.
The numbers to be avoided are:
800-872-1000 (the VA National Call Center number is 800-827-1000)
888-442-4511 (the VA GI Bill Call Center number is 888-442-4551)
VA has notified law enforcement authorities to address this situation, and will provide additional information and guidance as necessary.

Using the internet to find a jobPosted by: | Comments
Many of our career coaching clients are making the mistake of a) not using the internet to find a job or b) using the internet inappropriately to find a job.
Some clients don't have LinkedIn profiles; others have weak ones that don't show potential employers their skills and what they might be able to offer. A lot of new clients talk to us about all the job searching they've done on the internet, and how all these hours have lead to nothing. Most of the time, those people are doing it all wrong.
I saw this great article on Harvard Business Review's website – "How to Curate Your Own Personal Job Feed" that gives specific advice on how to use the internet effectively. It's an article part of the series "The New Rules for Getting a Job".
Read more here: http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2012/03/how_to_curate_your_own_persona.html
I encourage you to follow through with everything discussed in this article. These are the same tips we give to our clients, specifically her advice on using LinkedIn:
LinkedIn, unlike Twitter, is entirely focused on professional networking so there is no need to separate your job hunting activity. Your starting point for finding listings on LinkedIn is under the "Jobs" tab in the top navigation. At first glance, LinkedIn's Jobs feature appears similar to other job boards in your ability to search by various criteria, but it offers another important element: the ability to search jobs based on how connected you are to the employer. After filling out your criteria on LinkedIn's Advanced Search page, you'll receive a list of results along with, on the left side of your screen, a list of ways to refine your search. When you refine by "relationship," you can see job postings based on whether you have first, second, or third degree LinkedIn connections into that organization. This is crucial information for determining whether you might be able to ask someone in your network to personally introduce you to the hiring manager or recruiter at that organization.
In addition to searching LinkedIn's job listings, check out LinkedIn Groups, which also feature job posting areas. Go to LinkedIn's Group Directory and seek out groups for your industry or other niches. Then, for each group you join, click on the "Jobs" tab within that group. If the group is private, these postings won't appear in a general Google search, so you may find opportunities that aren't posted elsewhere.
To add these LinkedIn opportunities to your daily "rounds," opt in to receive daily job alerts (available from LinkedIn's main Jobs page) and to receive daily group digest emails from each group to which you belong.
Source: http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2012/03/how_to_curate_your_own_persona.html
One last important note: While networking online is a good idea, nothing beats networking in-person. Make sure to get out from behind your computer and network!

How the unemployment rate SHOULD affect youPosted by: | Comments
The WSJ's reporting on the unemployment rate for June and lower amount of jobs added last month:
"Bad news for the U.S. economic recovery. New private-sector jobs barely outweighed government job losses, causing the unemployment rate to climb to 9.2 percent from 9.1 percent. It's the third straight month the jobless rate has risen, and unemployment is now at its highest level since December 2010. In total, the economy added 18,000 jobs, far fewer than expected."
Read it at The Wall Street Journal:
Don't let this affect your attitude in your job search. These numbers are the big picture and are important, but read them and move on. Go back to focusing on YOUR picture right away. If you focus on these numbers, you won't be as confident in your search and that will not help you.
You can't choose what happens to you, but you can choose your reaction to what happens. Take the reins. We can sit around bemoaning the low numbers or we can get out there and network to find a job, start a business, do what we need to do. I read an article in Time Magazine last night about a farming family in Nebraska who, for years, took odd jobs to make ends meet and had to sell off much of their land. But through persistence, courage and determination for years, they were able to hold onto their farm and have since purchased more land and surpassed where they were before the recession. Remember successful people don't AVOID obstacles, they learn how to overcome them.

Dream Job – Making It RealPosted by: | Comments
I spoke at the Junior League of Atlanta Wednesday night on "Find a job you love: 6 Steps to clarify your career direction". It was a great event. I was thrilled to receive this feedback from one of the participants: "Enjoyed meeting you last night is such an understatement! Like I said, I got more out of that hour and 15 minutes than I did in most of my college classes! I went home and talked my husbands ear off about it!". As a career speaker I don't think feedback can get better than that . Thank you to everyone who attended!
At the event I was speaking to a woman who really wants to own a dance studio. Currently she doesn't have the financing to start a business, and she sees this as a huge challenge. She imagines being able to start her own business so far in the future that she hasn't done much to even get started on it. She was very bummed and overwhelmed and asked me for my advice.
I told her to achieve her dream she just needed to take one step. This would help make it real for her. I told her to look at real estate to rent a dance studio and I recommended joining an association for small business owners where she could network and learn more about starting a business.
The point I was trying to make for her was this: How do you eat an elephant? The answer is one bite at a time. If you don't take one step, your dream is just looming out there. Your goal that will never happen!
What first step will you take in reaching your career goals?
Have a great weekend!

Overcoming Fear and Adjusting your AttitudePosted by: | Comments
If you go through your job search with the wrong attitude, it's going to be a downward spiral with a potentially unhappy ending. The good news is… you can prevent this.
You need to make career decisions from a position of strength or possibility and not out of fear, weakness or other negative feelings. It may take practice, but creating that feeling of strength and optimism can happen.
Here are some suggestions on how to do this:
- Worrying does not help – Taking action does. Do something about the challenges you're facing.
- Evaluate your decision making process - Take some time to notice how you approach decisions. Are you approaching them with confidence and strength? If the answer is yes, then you'll know that you're getting a positive outcome as a result of your positive attitude and actions. If you approach decisions with fear or anger, then, conversely, you'll notice the result is much less constructive.
- Practice being positive – Consciously practicing being positive may feel strange at first so I encourage you to take small steps. Notice how you are feeling about the decisions you are making. If you are experiencing 'bad vibes' then it might be time to shift your mindset, or to table that important decision until you feel more comfortable and confident.
- Invest in yourself - While money may seem tight right now, one of your best bets is to spend your resources making yourself invaluable to your current or potential employer. When you invest in education – through additional classes to beef up skills or through advanced programs to learn new skills – you enhance your value and marketability.
Join our job search teleclass "Stop Spinning in Your Job Search – 3 Ways to Get Ahead of the Traffic" on Friday July 17, 2009 at 12:00 noon ET. Register here.

Bad Economy?Posted by: | Comments
I was recently featured in a story for CNN titled "Bad economy? Do what you love". Here's an excerpt:
He decided to make his talent for fixing clocks and his penchant for collecting them into a career.
At his cozy store surrounded by the melody of ticking clocks, Kerschbaum happily works seven days a week for an income that is meager but enough for him and his wife to live on.
There is no doubt small businesses have been hit hard by the financial crunch. Prospective entrepreneurs have plenty of reason to feel risk averse. Even in a good economy, the most successful businesses need a lot of capital, especially with tight credit markets, experts say.
Only 80 percent of businesses survive after the first year and the chances dwindle to 44 percent after four years, according to the Small Business Administration.
"It's not the ideal time, but that doesn't mean you can't do it," says Hallie Crawford, a certified career coach based in Atlanta, Georgia. "I think because of the way the economy is that you just have to be a little bit more careful."
