Most physicians live each day in a high-stress, goal-oriented, deadline-driven, atmosphere. They live with the realization that one mistake or overlooked detail could cost a patient's life. Sadly, they also know that admission of weakness of any kind may cause them to be ostracized by peers, patients, and employers.
All of that leads to a deadly, but not unexpected result: For decades doctors have been killing themselves at a far higher rate than other people.
Female doctors kill themselves at a rate 130 percent higher than other adult women, while the rate among male physicians is 40 percent higher than men in general.
This issue was brought to the fore late last year with the suicide of well-known pediatric heart surgeon Dr. Jonathan Drummond-Webb. Press accounts at the time of his death portrayed him as a man tormented by a sense of failure because he could not save every sick child.
We want our doctors to show respect, understanding, and compassion toward us, and rightly so. Let's make sure that we, especially those of us who work closely with physicians every day, return the favor.

The honey in the flower or lotus does not crave for bees; they do not plead with the bees to come. Since they have tasted the sweetness, they themselves search for the flowers and rush in. They come because of the attachment between themselves and sweetness. So, too, is the relationship between the woman who knows the limits and the respect she evokes.Sri Sathya Sai Baba
The bitter and the sweet come from the outside, the hard from within, from one's own efforts.Albert Einstein
There are many kinds of smiles, each having a distinct character. Some announce goodness and sweetness, others betray sarcasm, bitterness and pride; some soften the countenance by their languishing tenderness, others brighten by their spiritual vivac.Johann Kaspar Lavater

I know I have sex appeal, but I've never felt like an actual sex symbol. Fans sometimes think I am. The majority of them are sweet about it, but occasionally somebody weird becomes totally fixated upon me.Teena Marie

HAG, n. An elderly lady whom you do not happen to like; sometimes called, also, a hen, or cat. Old witches, sorceresses, etc., were called hags from the belief that their heads were surrounded by a kind of baleful lumination or nimbus --hag being the popular name of that peculiar electrical light sometimes observed in the hair. At one time hag was not a word of reproach: Drayton speaks of a "beautiful hag, all smiles," much as Shakespeare said, "sweet wench." It would not now be proper to call your sweetheart a hag --that compliment is reserved for the use of her grandchildren.Ambrose Bierce

And sure there is music even in the beauty, and the silent note which Cupid strikes, far sweeter than the sound of an instrument; for there is music wherever there is harmony, order, or proportion; and thus far we may maintain the music of the spheresSir Thomas Browne
It is not work that kills men; it is worry. Work is healthy; you can hardly put more upon a man than he can bear. Worry is the rust upon the blade. It is not the revolution which destroys the machinery but the friction. Fear secretes acids; but love and trust are sweet juicesHenry Ward Beecher
For the rest, Whatever we have got has been by infinite labor, and search, and ranging through every corner of nature; the difference is that instead of dirt and poison, we have rather chosen to fill our hives with honey and wax, thus furnishing mankind with the two noblest of things, which are sweetness and light.Jonathan Swift

Water is sometimes sharp and sometimes strong, sometimes acid and sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet and sometimes thick or thin, sometimes it is seen bringing hurt or pestilence, sometime health-giving, sometimes poisonous. It suffers change into as many natures as are the different places through which it passes. And as the mirror changes with the colour of its subject, so it alters with the nature of the place, becoming noisome, laxative, astringent, sulfurous, salty, incarnadined, mournful, raging, angry, red, yellow, green, black, blue, greasy, fat or slim. Sometimes it starts a conflagration, sometimes it extinguishes one; is warm and is cold, carries away or sets down, hollows out or builds up, tears or establishes, fills or empties, raises itself or burrows down, speeds or is still; is the cause at times of life or death, or increase or privation, nourishes at times and at others does the contrary; at times has a tang, at times is without savor, sometimes submerging the valleys with great floods. In time and with water, everything changes.Leonardo da Vinci

Very big news exploding across the papers yesterday. Eating genetically engineered (GE) corn has been strongly linked to serious health effects — including mammary tumors, kidney and liver damage. A team of European scientists yesterday released the first independent long-term animal feeding study of its kind on the health effects of eating GE foods in the peer-reviewed journal Food and Chemical Toxicology.
This fall's mix of elections and anniversaries has stirred up a hornet's nest of talking heads.
September marks the 50th anniversary of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring as California is gearing up for a landmark vote on labeling genetically engineered food in November. The combination appears to be a perfect storm for pesticide-promoting pundits.
Recent media coverage of Prop 37, the California Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act, which would permit companies to label foods made with genetically engineered (GE) crops, highlights the gulf between citizens demanding the right to know what's in our food and corporations desperate to keep the public in the dark.
Brazil, the world's second largest user of genetically engineered (GE) seeds, just took Monsanto down a notch. The court focused on Monsanto's harassment and exploitation of farmers — potentially causing huge financial losses to the company, and keeping their army of lawyers busy for a while. Meanwhile, we celebrate a rare commonsense legal decision.
Monsanto's RoundUp Ready soy seeds comprise 85% of all soy grown in Brazil, and the corporation has been making a tidy profit charging farmers a levy of 2% on top of the cost of seed. In April, a Brazilian court ruled this levy illegal.
Twenty years ago this week Dan Quayle went against scientific consensus to publicly proclaim that genetically engineered foods were "substantially equivalent" to non-GE food, and that he would therefore work to ensure that GE food would not be "hampered by unnecessary regulation." In the pivotal 1992 FDA ruling that Quayle then proudly claimed as part of his "regulatory relief" agenda, the flood gates for GE were opened.
We've been living in that wake ever since because a small clutch of biotech "true believers," ideologically anti-regulatory government officials and industry lobbyists have kept that flood gate open against great odds.

First, why the fever? Do you have mastitis?? That high of a fever while bfing, I would think mastitis! If that's the culprit, you need to do something about the plugged/infected duct. And get antibiotics. But, yes, your supply will generally rebound after an illness. Drink plenty of fluids and try to eat. Feel better!
jessicalgilmore:No, not mastitis, apparently I tested positive for the flu. Did not know you could get the flu in June...
I had a stomach virus in April. I couldn't eat anything, I couldn't even drink water without losing it. I just kept trying and kept putting him to breast. I know my supply suffered because it was about 1 day of nothing, and then 1 day where I could eat only chicken broth. My supply came back just fine.
Feel better!

I'm a journalist, digital lady, mom, Elvis fan, and pug lover -- not necessarily in that order.
As Senior Editor at Southern Living Magazine, I travel the South gathering stories about contemporary Southern women (hint: they're more than mint juleps), and work with teams to together content for the sixth largest consumer magazine in the U.S.
I find great joy in jumping on planes, coordinating photo shoots, listening to people open up about their lives, and sharing with a few million friends.
I also manage Southern Living's blog, The Daily South, and am active guiding social media strategy. I love talking storytelling, technology, and the place where the two meet. With more than 20 awards for writing and editing, I'm always on the lookout for the next great story.
Born and raised in Clearwater, Florida (also home to Hulk Hogan and the original Hooters), I grew up surrounded by sandy white beaches and pink flamingos (which heavily influence my love of all things kitsch).
During my time at the University of South Carolina, I attended precisely one half of a football game, choosing to spend time instead writing about moody Irish feminist poets.
I began my newspaper career while in college, writing for papers like The St. Petersburg Times and The Arizona Republic. Upon graduation with an ever-useful English degree, I accepted a plane ticket to Birmingham, Alabama to visit my parents an interview for The Birmingham Post-Herald. "I'll never live in Birmingham," were the precise words uttered.
15 years later, I'm one of Birmingham's biggest champions, often espousing the merits of its barbeque and cultural scene, not to mention the huge iron statue named Vulcan, under which my husband (Shane) and I wed.
For more than seven years, I worked in public relations and fundraising at the University of Alabama at Birmingham's Comprehensive Cancer Center, serving as Director of Community Affairs from 2006-2008. I loved managing a non-profit, but was also thrilled to have the opportunity to return to full-time journalism five years ago.
I'm proponent of grassroots social media education, and a founding member of the Alabama Social Media Association. I love to speak to groups about magazines, blogging, social media and the intersection of all of these things.
My son Nate, 7, also shares my love of Elvis. Husband Shane remains amused by my King fixation and the velvet Elvi that creep into their home. Our two pugs Lolita and Gatby are indifferent to it all, curled up on the couch snorting. We love spending time with our family (fondly referred to as "The Jazz Hands Family," spread out between New York, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida).
I am frequently seen wearing gold shoes.

Never let me go to the Disney Store during a sale
Let me start this chapter by saying that I am NOT a shopper!!! I hate shopping! I have a hard time spending money unless it's on something we need.
I spend very little time in my life shopping. I just stay away from stores unless I really NEED to go.
Now, don't get me wrong...if I won the lottery and had tons of money, I would LOVE shopping! Well, it would all be done online, in my jammies but hey, I could easily spend $20K at www.disneystore.com alone! But shipping to Canada costs an arm, a leg and your first born so I always just stay away from there
But I live about 6 minutes away from a Disney Store and Kira loves going there to look at all the princessy stuff so I sometimes venture out. I don't go often because it is the one store where I know I can and will do some damage.
Here's a few pics from last year when they redid the Disney Store, it's actually really awesome now!
She loved the Magic Mirror!!
I really miss the days when there was stuff in there for adults but now the adult merchandise is delegated to ONE little shelf and consists of a few lousy over-priced tees
BUT, I have a little girl who is GAGA over Disney princess stuff and I find it MUCH easier to spend money on her than me!
So anyway, last week I got a text from my sister saying that the Princess costumes were on sale 25% off. Since I promised Kira that we would buy her a new princess dress for our trip, I thought this would be a fabulous time to buy it!
So I went in prepared to spend $37.50 + tax.
Total bill?
In my defence, almost everything I bought was on sale
I gave Kira the choice of dresses and she chose Rapunzel so this is what I bought her
And I also bought the head piece for it
And as a special gift, her Auntie Deb bought her the matching shoes
And then I bought this for the trip because she has grown out of her Ariel cover up.
Also for the trip (on sale!)
And some jammies for the summer and the trip
And also for the trip (on sale!)
And I also got two more pairs of princess jammies for next fall.
Oh and some princess lip balm that I haven't given her yet. It will be given to her as a reward for doing well on her Dictée at school.
So....not a bad haul for $166, right?
I think I did well
So, then a few days later, I was going over our rough itinerary and decided to add something. Well, two things actually. Which I will talk more about later....but this change led me....
back to the Disney store
Where I bought this (still on sale!)
and this (on sale!)
Yes, I know.
I have a problem.
But hey, it's been 4 years since she was in Disney World and on the "Mickey Ship" so I wanted to spoil her a little
So....since there is still 224 more days until we leave, I am pretty sure I will be returning to The Disney (crack) Store and if I do, I will be sure to post about it here
Edited to add:
Here's a pic of Kira in her Rapunzel dress. Her Aurora one has been put away and will be a surprise for her on the trip!
And for kicks and giggles here is Princess Lilo, our golden LOL!

There's no crying in Disney
So I recently watched the raw video footage of our last trip in 2009. You know, the one where Kira had all the meltdowns and tantrums?
In my nicely edited and muted finished version, you can barely even tell that the Turks had a major attitude problem
But I remember the 'tude fondly
As does her daddy.
That got me thinking about "the trip that will not suck" and how she is going to handle it.
Obviously much better than the last time but I still think she will have her moments. She will be a month shy of her 7th birthday, which sounds like a great age for Disney, right? The thing is, our little princess is very sensitive And a big chicken
So, we already know that the big rides are out. I know better than to push it but I think I will suggest that she ride Splash Mountain because I think she will really like it. I know she won't like the drop at the end and she might even run away when she see that drop as we pass it
So I am thinking of waiting until our last day and taking that side entrance by the water so we bypass the scary drop
So no Space Mountain, Rock N' Roller, Tower of Terror, Expedition Everest for sure. I will try for Big Thunder though.
I've scheduled pool time just about every day since I know she will LOVE that and while I plan on doing as much as we can, I am totally prepared for extra down time if she needs it.
The only thing I am worried about is all the walking. With no stroller, her little legs might get tired
Hopefully the meltdowns will be few and far between.
And hopefully I don't have any either
Yup, I have had a few meltdowns myself. Three exactly. Two at Magic Kingdom and one on the Disney Magic.
Which is really weird because I don't have meltdowns in my normal life, why the heck would I have them at Disney????
The first one was back 1999 during Rob's first trip. He had loaned me his $400 sunglasses (in my defence, I told him not to because I was used to wearing $7 sunglasses that I used to drop, sit on and scratch!) and I lost them on Alien Encounter
He totally forgave me but it took some time for me to forgive myself
Second one was in 2007 at the MK. Just one thing led to another and before I knew it, I was sitting there, looking at the Castle, bawling my eyes out.
And the third was in 2009 on the Disney Magic. We had the worst stateroom host ever and it was just a really bad cruise in general and stuff just kept happening over and over until I finally just lost it
Sounds like I'm a total basket case, right? Really I'm not! I'm a very strong person, not a lot bothers me, really.
I guess we all have our breaking point. Mine just seem to be all related to Disney
Soooooo....cross your fingers (and toes please!) that Kira and I have the least amount of meltdowns possible.

Love the items you got from the "crack" store. I feel your pain.
I (clear throat) may have bought four, count them, four, new pairs of sandals this week. Oh, the shame of it all.
I gave myself a million good reasons why buying them was not a bad idea or a budget buster.
They're good quality.
They'll last for years.
With four pairs, I'll rotate them and they'll last even longer!
They are easy on my feet.
What it really comes down to?
They were comfortable and oh, soooo CUTE!
As for crying in Disney.
I may have done that also.
Once, I swear, it was just once.
In my defense, it was hot.
I was tired.
I was PMSing.
And, I'm pretty sure DH was doing something annoying.
(I'm convinced, it is always a guys fault when a girl cries.... he probably should have seen it coming and bought me a mickey bar or a dole whip. That would have headed it off at the pass. )
Looking forward to:

Ah, the Disney Store!
I am glad it does the same thing to others as well. Thankfully the closest one to us is just under 1000 km away, so that helps with spending.
Unfortunately there has just popped up an online German Disney store. My wallet is weeping, let me tell you that.
BUT ... I just love all of your purchases.
As for meltdowns ....
we all have had them, big kids and little kids.
There is so much anticipation and if it is not met it can be quite overwhelming. Don't worry, been there, done that.

I have had Disney meltdowns too. Don't worry. I think it's with so much going on and you want it all to be perfect, but sometimes something throws a wrench in that perfect plan.
I cried like a bay when I lost my cell phone in 2011. I even found it, but it was towards the end of the trip and just something that tipped the barrel and I couldn't stop crying.

Went to that Disney 'crack' store today!! Bought 4 shirts for me, 3 for Heidi, plus a night gown, and she got a stuffed Nana from Peter Pan. I also bought Lily (DD24) a shirt and a couple of those reusable bags. That was our first stop on a multi-store multi-mall shopping spree getting ready for our Disney trip.
We went to Tyson's Corner Center to the Disney Store, and American Girl, LLBean and Williams Sonoma, then we ate at Panera, then we went to Fair Oaks Mall and hit Hot Topic, Stride Rite, Children's Place, Claire's, I think that is all of the..... at the end we were sort of speed shopping.

I utilized that same sale for my littlest princess and bought the SAME Rapunzel dress as a gift from the Easter Bunny! I bypassed the headband & shoes (but may be back for the shoes later). With a $12 Rapunzel plushie to go with it. I just KNOW that come Easter, she will be wearing Rapunzel to Easter dinner instead of her new Easter dress!
Disney store is bad for me! Especially because I hardly can walk out without getting another Vinyl... SAYING its for 'the kids'..but really, who are we kidding? TOTALLY FOR ME!

Unfortunately, I can't even blame my guy
I agree, you plan these trips months even years in advance and you expect them to be awesome and unfortunately, that's not the case sometimes. I think we are due a good one
I'm kinda glad that my Disney Store doesn't have a lot of adult stuff cus I am a sucker for a good Disney shirt

Leaving on a (West)jet plane
Let's talk about how we are getting to Disney...
HA! My hubby only wishes!
More like this
For us Western Canadians, getting to Florida is very expensive. And flights and airlines are limited. Most flights are connecting flights into either Denver (my fave!), Chicago or Houston. Those are the flights that are on USA based airlines like United, Delta or American Airlines. Most of these flights leave Calgary very early in the morning and get into MCO around supper time. So, we are usually up around 2am to be at the airport for 5am when the check-in desks and US Customs opens. So, it's a loooooong travel day
Here in Canada, we have two airlines to choose from Air Canada (which I refuse to fly unless I absolutely have to!) and Westjet, which is my favourite way to fly.
Westjet is the only airline that has a direct flight to Orlando. Air Canada used to have one but I haven't seen it offered in ages! These WJ direct flights are offered on Saturdays (and sometimes Tuesday and Thursdays, depending on the time of year you fly) and are ridiculously expensive!
I can usually fly via a connecting USA airline for about $600 per person but often the WJ direct flights are from about $650 all the way up to about $1500 depending on when you book it
I just priced out our flight and it is $791 per person. So, it would cost us $2373 for the three of us to fly if I booked it today
And that is the reason we don't go more often!
Thankfully, this time we booked using Avion Points (thanks J & H ) so we were able to decide which airline and which flight!
Can you guess what we chose???
We got the direct flight on Westjet
With any ticket you get on points, you still have to pay the taxes, which were about $150 each I think. Way better than $790 each
I am sooooo stoked about that! Not only does it mean we don't have to be up at 2 AM but it also means we will be there in about 5 hours
Our flight leaves at 10am and arrives into MCO at around 5pm local time!
We've only ever taken the direct flight once, back in 2005 and I can't even begin to tell you how awesome it was
Now, don't get me wrong, I will gladly travel all day long on 3 connectors to get to Disney (and I have done that before!) but with a 6-year old, I am even more excited about getting that direct flight.
Five hours can be very long with a 6-year old who is stuck in a chair
You know what I mean, right parents?
Since we have to check-in, go through US Customs Pre-clear and then security, we still need to arrive about 3 hours early but still, that means we won't need to leave the house until about 6:30 AM. I know that seems early but most of our flights to Disney have left at 6:30am so, this is better
I also love Westjet because they have new planes, leather seats and TV's in every seat back. Also, they don't charge for your first checked bag
This will be the third time Kira's flown but she doesn't remember the first two times so this will also be exciting for me to see it through her eyes.
220 more days until Disney

Foothill Christian School was looking for some help to get across a complex plan for updating and improving the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math or S.T.E.A.M.
We worked with their team to build a script and profile that would be entertaining but also easily understandable. The concept was to let our host walk us through what was happening at the same time interacting with their environment. We thought it would be great to do this though long takes. The final product is just 6 shots, 35 actors under the age of 12, and a whole lot of love.
Check out these behind the scenes shots taken by Adan Pena.
Foothill Christian also used Instagram, Twitter and facebook to help let their community know about the event and to tease what was coming up at their gala banquet.
Portnoy Media Group uses the influence of social networks to expand your organization's voice and tell your story.

I just received word that we received 3 Telly's for a couple of projects and I'm super thrilled to tell you about them.
United Way of Los Angeles
The Workplace Hero Campaign – Internet/Online Commercial – Campaign – Not-for-Profit In what was easily one of the most fun projects to create, The Workplace Hero Campaign for The United Way of Los Angeles was firing on all cylinders. When building this campaign, it was difficult because or solution had to have the ability to expand or contract depending on the place or format. Plus, with any campaign in Los Angeles, had to be ready for the media savvy and multi cultural market. Here's the video: The campaign has raised over 100 Million so far in the past 2 years for The United Way of Los Angeles. Workplace Heroes has been used in conjunction with several corporate partners Like Enterprise Rent-a-Car, JPL, Lockheed Martin, UPS, and even the Mayor of Los Angeles got in on the cape and goggles action.
Big Thanks to:

4Liters – DIGDEEP
Take The 4Liter Challenge – Internet/Online Commercial – Editing Take The 4Liter Challenge – Internet/Online Commercial – Not-for-profit This project was lot fun too. The concept was already in full swing before our involvement. I was brought in to produce and then due to some scheduling conflicts, direct the project. A great cast, featuring David Henrie (Wizards of Waverly Place, How I Met Your Mother), Jen Cadena (Bigger than the Beatles, The Roommate), and the vocal stylings of Drake Bell (Ultimate Spider-man, Drake & Josh) The idea was to communicate all the different ways that the audience (15-40) takes water for granted without making people feel guilty.

Over the past few weeks, I created a couple videos in partnership with Pure Charity for their BRAND NEW resources section and it launched today!
Head on over and check out their platform and see the difference they're making for non-profits around the globe.
Here's a couple quick ways you can engage your audience and new audiences today.
Like Captain Picard says, "Engage!"
I love receiving emails like this one from Wendy Wareham.
Dan,Although we have never met, I have enjoyed your book and your audio sessions. Your messages help fundraisers to remember to keep working on crafting the stories.I'm sending this along to you because I feel like, even though I have 30 years of fundraising experience, I've been "taken to school" by a photographer with a purpose. I thought you might find this interesting as well. It's the clearest case for support I think I've ever seen–and an excellent job of storytelling. And he's never done fundraising in his life!
So why does this video work so well?
Cures this certain to work are a rarity in medicine, but we have one, we actually have one, and the only thing standing between Eliza and her miracle is money. The trial is lacking funding to remain on schedule, and every moment counts as Eliza approaches the tipping point when her disease will take an irreversible turn for the worst.
10 Days ago we announced the first course in Non-Profit Story Training Series. This first class will be at a discounted rate of $247. (Regular price will be close to $500). Several organizations have signed up – from small to large in annual fundraising. All seeking to tell a great story, engage their audience and change the world.
In the Non-Profit Story System you'll find:
- How the Narrative Story Framework applies to your non-profit.
- How to acquire and cultivate an audience while telling a compelling story.
- Strategy to determine Your Best Audiences
- The Top 3 Storytelling Principals
- The Step-by-Step guide to Audit and Assess Your Social Media Presence – Turn the Social "Me" to a Social "We".
- How to Execute Your "Why" in Your Communications – The "Why" is the most important piece and will inspire your audience to action and support.
- Ideas to help your team know what needs to be adjusted to transform your current site into a cultivation and acquisition tool.
- How to Create a System to Measure Success (Key Performance Indicators)
- The guide to determine your primary and secondary audiences and define the Ideal Behavior for them – Defining what you need will help staff and audiences know what they're being asked to do.
Here's what you need to do to secure your discounted spot:
- Enter the coupon code PREORDER to get the discounted price (case sensitive)
Introductory pricing will end this week. Don't miss out, enroll in the class today!
4 Liters is the next campaign from DIGDEEP, a human rights organization that defends water access. They work on the 100% donor model and generally make the world a better place. We're collaborating for 4Liters, a next generation experience on the need for access to clean water. The campaign launches in the month of October. Here's a few pictures of the campaign video shoot this Saturday, starring David Henrie (Little Boy, Wizards of Waverly Place ) and Jennifer Cadena (The Roommate, Premonition).
Some say it can't be done. (I think I've been one of those people)
Honestly, I don't have many good examples of great symbiotic relationships when it comes to video but I think this one does a great job.
It shows Expertise
Metro Food was dealing with the problem and Toyota's team asks questions about process. They talk about how they want to continually improve what they're doing and they brought that to the scenario. They didn't get into logistics of location, personnel, and track records. They saw 2 problems and then looked to solve them. I know that's oversimplifying but a video can only convey a few things.
It shows Caring
Both groups are passionate about their work. Metro Food wants to help people, Toyata wants to help people too. Two sides to the same coin, it's savvy.
Both groups stay in their strengths.
The engineers from Toyota aren't trying to belittle the group doing food distribution. They want to use their knowledge and make the system better. Both groups want the same thing and there's a nice dance happening between the groups. No one is stepping on toes
It's personal
We learn names not just brands. We see reactions and progression. I can't tell you how many videos I see where we don't go anywhere, it's just facts and there's no emotion. We are emotive beings. Hearing questions, concerns, smiles and laughter gives us the subtext.
This may look easy but it's not. It's simple but there was a lot of thought put into this edit. Make video like this and your partners are going to look great.
Just submitted a few pieces of our woe from this past year to the 34th Annual Telly Awards. We won 2 last year, so we're back for more this year!
Internet/Online Commercial – Not-for-profit
United Way of Greater L.A. – Workplace Hero
It was an incredible team effort and this campaign has really resonated with audiences. Including the Mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigosa (below)
Next up:
Internet/Online Video – Documentary
Frank – ArcLight Cinemas
This short began the Behind The Curtain Series and has really resonated with viewers.
Judging begins next week and as soon as we here, you can bet we'll be posting it. In the meantime – Why aren't we creating your next big campaign or art piece to build your brand? Let's get started: email me @ firstname.lastname@example.com
It's December and I'd like to take a moment and recap all that happened this year
2012 started with a bang! We launched The Non-Profit Narrative. On location with Jones Coffee and complete with a photo booth. And thanks to so many of you, the book has been a real success. Thank you for buying it, talking about it and for your reviews!
This year we continued our work with The United Way of Greater Los Angeles. Last year we worked together to revamp their digital communications and launched a complete rebrand of their website in just 9 days. It wasn't a lot of sleep but it was a whole lot of good.
First up, we launched a new site for their Home for Good initiative.
This group of business leaders, state officials, faith communities and non-profit partners are moving people off the street and into permanent supportive housing.
We helped to create a video about their first year results and helped recap their conference.
Over the summer it was all about community heroes.
Together, the team from United Way, Double Vision Inc and Portnoy Media Group all worked together to build a profile for a campaign that was dynamic, engaging and a whole lot of fun.
This was a great integration of print and digital, of traditional and new media to create this campaign.
It was incredible to see top executives from LA's largest corporations getting involved with the campaign and making it their own.
This year we also got to work with Nnamdi Asomugha and created a PSA about the work that he cares about with the children of LA.
We also provided media and the stage production at this years Homewalk. Over 10,000 angelinos raising money for the homeless it was great! With attendees like Mark Valley from Body of Proof and Jon Huertes from Castle – Homewalk was a star studded community event!
We coordinated cameras, created the production visuals and covered the event. Homewalk is a great event that helps a lot of people but it doesn't hurt when Kobe Bryant is the honorary chairman.
In the late summer and fall we partnered with ArcLight Cinemas, incidentally my favorite place to see a movie in the country and produced the Behind the Curtain Series.
First we met Frank an incredible man who loves film and loves to set the stage for the best possible movie going experience.
Next we met the actual man behind the curtain, the director of projection and sound Mr. John Sittig. His decades of knowledge and work with the Hollywood studios makes him a legend! My jaw dropped more than a few times at the stories he told.
This year ended with a big bang of stellar proportions. We worked with The SETI Institute and were able to spend some time talking with TED prize winner Dr. Jill Tarter. and Founder of the institute Dr. Frank Drake.
We worked together on The Communicate campaign
It was a really full and fun year and I can't be more thankful for all the challenges and the great people that have helped make all of this amazing work happen.
For everyone here at Portnoy Media, I'm Dan Portnoy Be safe.

Robin Welch (show biography)Robin Welch (hide biography)
Robin Welch has been a singular figure in British studio ceramics for at least forty years. His freely constructed vessels hand-built and thrown - are three-dimensional abstract expressionism. He is the archetypal potter /painter. Whether his work is on paper, board, canvas or in clay, there is a constant and consistent creative flow.
The fit between pot and decoration is extraordinary, whether it be a beautifully thrown cylinder or a part hand-built, part thrown organically developed vessel.
Whilst he has always painted, his pictures have been seen more often in galleries in recent years. His images of vessels, in particular, reinforce the notion that his pots are three dimensional paintings, however his purely abstract mixed media work is particularly striking. The energy, which comes through in all of his work, belies his age he was born in 1936.
In 1952 he studied at Nuneaton School of Art and the following year he
Between 1956 and 58 he undertook National Service with the 2nd Battalion the Parachute Regiment.
He was a Post Graduate Student at Central School of Art in London where he was later appointed a Technical Assistant in Ceramics. In 1960, he started his own workshop in London and part time teaching in schools and institutes. His work was accepted by the Council of Industrial Design and exhibited through the Design Centre London, in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Munich, Salisbury, Johannesburgh, Tokyo and Melbourne.
He moved again to Australia to help establish a pottery workshop with Ian Sprague and when he returned in 1965 he set up Stradbroke Pottery in Suffolk where he has lived and worked ever since. He has worked abroad often over the years - Craftsman in residence at Monash University, Australia; Alfred University, New York State College of Ceramics and Indiana University; Visiting Lecturer at many art schools

Milestones are inevitably a feature of our lives and no less so for Bevere Gallery which has in the past year registered the 6000th pot on our website. Now, we are happy to celebrate our one thousandth exhibitor. It could hardly have been more apposite for that exhibitor to be Robin Welch a doyen of contemporary studio ceramics and someone we have long wanted to feature at the Gallery.
The pictures and pots sit very well together and as we prepare for this show I am in no doubt that the pleasure that we have in putting the exhibition together will be equalled only by the pleasure and stimulation we anticipate it will provide for our visitors.

About GSA Greenville Services
At GSA Greenville Services, our sole mission is to help small businesses get awarded government work. Head quartered in Tampa FL, GSA Greenville Services understands the important role that small businesses play in the overall economy and want to lend our expertise to assist with the GSA Greenville process and related marketing so that qualifying companies can participate in government contracting and benefit from government-mandated spending with small businesses.
Our GSA Specialists, GSA Greenville Processors, and Marketing Specialists are here to help your company navigate the sometimes difficult process of contracting to do business with the government. At GSA Greenville Services, our GSA Greenville Processors complete all of the database registrations required prior to completing the entire schedule for your company. The GSA Greenville Processors also make any changes or prepare any modifications to your GSA Schedule Contract application. If your company wants to start doing business with the government, GSA Greenville Services can complete the entire application process for your company, and many opportunities are available to begin advertising to government buyers, especially after receiving a GSA Schedule Award.
The General Services Administration (GSA) oversees the commercial contracts or "Schedules" with the government, ensuring that government purchasing agents are being presented with fair prices for valid goods and services from legitimate companies. The GSA Schedule helps government buyers evaluate potential suppliers, and serves as an expeditious way for products and services to be purchased directly.
The bottom line is that GSA Schedules represent a great way to get into government contracting at a time when government spending is on the rise. Furthermore, GSA Schedules are fast becoming the accepted means of conducting business with government buyers. To be successful with government contracting, you need the right contracts and resources in place to move forward. In many ways, government business is more complex and often more formal than commercial business, and getting on GSA Schedules is often difficult and time consuming.
GSA Greenville Services has the experience and expertise to help get your company awarded and on a GSA Schedule in a relatively short period of time. Competent professionals in this area will process and complete all of the formal requirements, and provide expert marketing advice. We at GSA Greenville Services will get your company's name in front of government purchasing agents on a daily basis. A decision to pursue government business often leads to sustained growth for many years as your company grows into this specialized marketplace. GSA Greenville Services is prepared to assist your company in making this step foreward.
GSA Greenville is a division of Federal Verification Co., Inc. and is not affiliated with any state or federal governmental agency or department.

bermudamohawk will sporadically be on PopClogs as "bermuda"
Craved thai food at lunchtime. I ALWAYS order pad thai, but today I tried something new. Drunken noodles were in a much lighter sauce with more veggies than pad thai. I felt nourished at the end of that meal, not stuffed and lethargic.
R had a box of Kraft macaroni and cheese with a pb&j on white bread for dinner. I salivated. But I already had my treat (thai food) for the day. So then I ate some raspberries, a peach, a plum, and a clementine for dinner.
Delicious. Healthy. Love.

If you want to see an unusual slice of New York this weekend, slide on over to Tompkins Square Park in lower Manhattan (East Village, Avenue A and East 7th) at 11 a.m. Saturday to watch one of the more unusual races in the USA.
It's the second annual NYC Pizza Run. Ninety runners will traverse a 2.25 mile run course. Carbo-loading is built in at this event: Runners must stop at checkpoints to down three slices of pizza.
The event is the brainchild of Jason Feirman, who runs the idreamof pizza.com website, which covers the NYC pizza scene like melted mozzarella on a perfect pie. It's too late to enter yourself, but should be fun to watch.
RELATED: USA TODAY's 51 great pizza parlors
The race raises money for chariry, and you can win gift certificates to local pizzerias and free passes for Scott's Pizza Tours. That's something pizza-loving visitors can do even if they're not in New York this weekend.For more info on the run, visit nycpizzarun.com.

Conrad Bourcier was four years younger than Jean, so he was always the one trying to catch up to his big brother. But playing with the older kids made him a better player and many would argue he ended up being the better of the two brothers.
After playing his junior hockey in Verdun, Bourcier remained in the city and played with the Verdun Maple Leafs of the MCHL. He also suited up for the Verdun Bulldogs and Montreal Cyclones of the QPHL.
Bourcier last played competitive hockey in 1948-49 with the Montreal Hydro Quebec Team.

The kingdom of Saudi Arabia sits upon the world's second-largest oil reserves, and as such, oil dominates the national economy. But in recent years, Saudi Arabia has begun taking advantage of the abundant sun and wind it enjoys by developing several major renewable energy projects. According to a new white paper published this week, Saudi Arabia will seek to develop 23.9 GW of renewable energy by 2020 and 54.1 GW by 2032, making it one of the biggest renewable energy producers in the world.
Photo via Shutterstock
The goals outlined in the new Saudi white paper are some of the most ambitious renewable energy targets set by any nation. Of the 54 GW of renewable energy the kingdom will develop by 2032, 41 GW will be solar power, and the other 13 GW will be powered by wind energy, geothermal and waste-to-energy power.
The news comes just months after Saudi officials announced plans for the country to transition to 100-percent renewable energy in coming decades. At present, the country is powered almost entirely by fossil fuels — two-thirds oil and one-third natural gas. Last spring, the country announced plans to invest over $100 billion to develop 41 gigawatts of solar electricity by 2032. The new roadmap significantly eclipses that figure, and it shows Saudi Arabia's commitment to a more sustainable energy future.

To make it one of the biggest renewable energy producers in the world is an awesome idea. we should have thought about this long time ago but still we are in it Good job I hope one day we will no longer need to pay for our power bills. hopefully $109 Billion won\'t go waste!!
Your son,
Jay Krewson March 3, 2013 at 12:46 pm
To put that in perspective America can produce somewhere in the ballpark of 1000 GW of electricity from all sources; coal, NG, nuclear, and renewables combined.
America can produce about 60GW of wind energy as noted in the following link:

Good plan! Build it now while you have the money to pay for it. Also the less oil you use internally, the more you can sell externally.
David Fechter February 26, 2013 at 7:35 pm
Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.
Our "friends", the Saudi royal family, consider us infidels. We should be learning and taking lessons from everything they do.

Operators promise £5bn funding to boost rural mobile coverage

EE has announced the launch of a 20GB 4G data plan to accommodate the need of its so-called "super users" who have found its 8GB plan insufficient.
The service will be offered as a sim-only plan from Tuesday costing £46 per month for a 12-month period. If purchased as part of a contract it will cost £61 per month on a 24-month contract.
It is a clear move to outflank its rivals ahead of the wider 4G auctions, though the firm is only offering the 20GB services for these prices until the end of February. At that point they will increase to £61 and £76 respectively.
Other sim-only options now available include 8GB for £41 per month on a 12-month contract.
The other major move sees EE reduce the price of its basic 500MB deal from £36 per month to £31, available for a two month period between January 31 and March 31.
EE is also offering a deal to let new users buy either the HTC One SV LTE or Nokia Lumia 820 on its £31 contract over 24-month months for 500MB of data for £30, a saving of £90, the firm claimed.
The firm is currently the only operator able to offer 4G services in the UK. It came in for some criticism when it first announced its pricing for failing to offer any sim-only deals and offering its cheapest deal at just £31 for just 500MB of data.
Matthew Howett, telecoms regulation analyst at Ovum, said that the move was a "pre-emptive strike" aimed at winning over more users before the auctions, but that its rivals may be happy with its change of pricing structures.
"It's fair to say that EE has attracted a fair degree of criticism, not so much for the price of the 4G tariffs but rather on the amount of data bundled at each level. EE was always going to have a difficult role to play being the first mover," he said.
"However, its peers may be grateful for attempting to move away from an all-you-can-eat world for data to an attempt to monetise it. Offering a more generous, but capped, data allowance for 'super users' is still consistent with that pragmatic move."
The auctions for the rest of the 4G spectrum bands are set to begin in January with BT joining O2 and Vodafone in the bidding which could raise £3.5bn for the government.

Kerry Collins with some Chi-O girls, including one of our former dimes.
Indeed. Nothing cooler than this. Kerry Collins and Joe Jurevicus were just killing at G-Man last night, in a good way. These guys were nothing but nice, just hanging out and being regular guys with everyone in the bar, which consisted of current Penn State students. Buying drinks for anyone who wanted one, taking pictures with anyone who wanted one, and just hanging out with us. Literally. Nothing cooler than that.
Dancing to zombie nation at a bar at Penn State, with Kerry Collins. I mean, that's what it is all about. This university is amazing, and the Penn State family is truly the best family in the world. People dropping everything in their lives to come back to this place for Joe, from all over the country. I can't tell you how many toasts there were to Joe last night. So much respect for Collins and Jurevicius, and all of the Letterman, and appreciate them just being regular dudes with us last night.
Ps. I might have given Jurevicius shit for that catch that broke my heart.
Pps. Collins was at the Skellar earlier in the day too, supposedly with Kyle Brady. Here is one of many tweets we received.

- 2014 maserati quattroporte spy shots
This is our clearest look yet at the next Maserati Quattroporte
by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) on Nov 2nd, 2012 at 1:33PM
The best look we've had at the next Maserati Quattroporte so far was found in patent drawings that could have substituted for a whole lot of other cars. But seen here is a more useful glimpse, courtesy of someone on the lookout in Italy who caught a prototype in a skin-hugging wrap. Maserati has apparently gone with the Charles Eames philosophy on the redesign: "The details are not details. They make the design." The overall line is familiar – not such a bad thing even on this 10-year-old sedan – but the detailing appears to have been refined and made sleeker. The taillights... Read More
