Raymond R. Bradick thinks his hair has become whiter during the past four years.
The chairman and CEO of Bowyer-Singleton & Associates Inc., an Orlando-based engineering and planning firm, could blame it on being in the lead car of a wild, roller-coaster ride through the Great Recession.
Two years after revenue at Bowyer-Singleton was cut in half, the company is nearly back to pre-recession revenue levels, forecasting $14.5 million for the 12-month period ending June 30 — $1.3 million less than three years ago, but nearly twice as much as two years ago.
Bradick, 63, credits the company's bounce-back to an increase in residential building activity, chasing more public and private jobs, and severe rounds of cost-cutting at the firm.
Bowyer-Singleton is divided into three divisions: land development/civil engineering, transportation and surveying. It works on everything from commercial parking lots and highways to infrastructure for communities. As the housing boom went bust in late 2007, the land development/civil engineering division took the biggest hit.
Three months after buying out the remaining co-founder of the firm, Bradick took a 40 percent pay cut. The other partners took a 10 percent pay cut, and within a year the company's work force was one-third of its 2007 size of 240. "Everyone sacrificed time and energy," Bradick said.
Critical to keeping morale high when the company was asking its employees to do more with less was monthly staff meetings that provided updates on company's performance and emails on new projects.
Bradick also challenged all workers to keep their ear to the ground for projects the company could go after.

Stop Hitting Yourself Will Ruin You for Any Future Fête
Prospective playgoers, be forewarned: The Rude Mechs' Stop Hitting Yourself will ruin you for any future fête. No matter how sumptuous the hors d'oeuvres, how glittering the company, how sparkling the wine, you will sigh and say, "Yes, well, if only it had a queso fountain."
On the Claire Tow stage at LCT3, a golden cascade of Velveeta tops the extravagant set (courtesy of the invaluable Mimi Lien), a bit of Babylon via Vegas that even Liberace might have thought de trop. On its mirrored surfaces, the Austin collective (seven performers plus writer Kirk Lynn and director Shawn Sides) launches this devised piece, which nominally concerns an annual charity ball. Really, it's about how quickly we'll ditch integrity in favor of wealth and status.
The script cribs from Ayn Rand, Fredric Jameson, and reality-TV confessionals. Though the wheels of the plot spin in neutral, each scene brings new delectations. Ecstatic tap numbers follow coy original songs, surprises for individual audience members make way for collective party games. The troupe performs with an ease and depth reflective of their 20-year history. And every so often a real idea rears, though heady considerations typically yield to melted cheesefood. Who knew that the cultural logic of late capitalism involved so much dairy?

Adoptees decry re-homing as states move to end practice
NBC Washington - 05/25/2015
"Children matter more than cars," but it was easier to transfer ownership of a child than buy a car, Ms. Lemma said Thursday to Maine lawmakers who are considering a bill to ban re-homing.

War of Words: ICWA Hearings Reignite Ancient Clash Over Indian Children, Part 1
Indian Country - 05/21/2015
"Children want to know who they are and where they're from and I think children who are raised knowing who they are have a much higher chance of success in life," she told ICTMN after the hearing in Albuquerque. "The Navajo Nation supports this effort because we continue to have problems with the states that don't follow the law. There needs to be enforcement and penalties so we can ensure that that ICWA is followed, because when it's not, it hurts the child, the family, the community and the tribe as a whole. We can no longer tolerate this type of tribal destruction.
A "Monopoly" on Children: China's Arduous Adoption Process
Harvard Political Review - 05/21/2015
Indeed, some rules are "increasingly allowing inter-country adoption primarily or exclusively of children who have special needs", quotes a study by the Donaldson Adoption Institute. That is, because those who participate in "baby-buying" or "baby-stealing" are primarily interested in catering to the demand for healthy babies, the government wants to minimize harm by incentivizing the adoption of special nees children. Furthermore, the relaxing of the one-child policy has decreased the number of healthy babies being put up for adoption in China, so the government is trying to increase adoptions for handicapped children.
Congress to Consider Scaling Down Group Homes for Troubled Children
Pro Publica - 05/20/2015
Now 22 and a recent college graduate, Grüber came before the Senate Finance Committee this week to testify about the experience. She recalled being medicated to the point that she developed a facial tic. She said she lost basic privileges like phone calls and television time for what she now considers normal teenage behavior.
"Often, the group home residents were treated like second-class human beings," she said in her testimony. "I could not understand why I had to act perfectly just to have the basic social privileges of a child. Why was I being penalized for having been removed from an abusive home?"

DeSoto Crime Stoppers working to get back on track
DeSoto County's Crime Stoppers program is getting back on track after some rocky times.
Since the first of the year, law enforcement and elected officials have been working with the nonprofit organization to give it a higher profile after political differences with previous leaders of the program caused Sheriff Bill Rasco to distance himself from it.
As midyear approaches, billboards around the county now promote Crime Stoppers and encourage the public to call its tip line, 662-429-TIPS, to provide information about crimes in exchange for cash rewards. Also, the Sheriff's Department has begun displaying the phone number on patrol cars once again.
"It's better than it's been in a long time," Rasco said of his department's relationship with the program. "I feel like we're moving in the right direction."
County Supervisor Mark Gardner, who has been involved in efforts to get the program back on track, attended a Crime Stoppers board meeting and a meeting of all the area's law enforcement agencies.
"We think everyone had made a commitment to the program," Gardner said.
Larry Holland, who took over operation of the program after his father and longtime Crime Stoppers coordinator David Holland died, couldn't be reached. Earlier, however, Holland said Crime Stoppers gets about 130 calls a year and that about 40 percent of those tips lead to arrests.

We propose a generalization to the usual hydrodynamic description of smectic A liquid crystals: The layer normal and the director are assumed to be coupled elastically to each other in such a way that they are parallel in equilibrium. If a sample with the layers parallel to the plates is sheared, our generalization leads in first order to a flow alignment of the director in the flow direction without perturbing the layers. Due to this tilt of the director the layers have a tendency to reduce their thickness. A linear stability analysis shows that the layers accommodate this tendency above a critical shear rate by developing undulations with a wave vector parallel to the vorticity direction of the shear flow.

Where you can find swaps :
Instagram – watch the hashtags on quilts in progress, and check back on the hashtag for openings.
Flickr groups – I've participated in the Doll Quilt Swap, The Pillow Talk {Swap}, Pretty Little Pouch Swap, and Make Mine Modern
Michelle at the Quilting Gallery hosts swaps often too.
As promised, we are announcing our very own swap!

Do you read Quilty? Hard to believe, but it's been over a year that I've been working with Mary to write articles about quilting on your home sewing machine! Every so often, I submit a pattern design to be featured in the magazine too.
I was so excited to see the current issue of Quilty arrive last week, along with my article is a new quilt pattern I designed in my Modern Neutrals fabrics! Check out Quill :
Quill measures 56″ x 72″, and it's a quick and simple half-square triangle quilt! I love the photography – they always do a great job shooting the quilts! If you haven't seen Quilty locally, you can grab a copy online, digital or print, AND kits for Quill are available, and will ship later this month.

Moda Love :: Tour & Giveaway!
Hi there! Welcome to my stop on the Moda Love blog tour!
If you don't know me yet, my name is Amy Ellis. I'm a new designer for Moda with my first line, Modern Neutrals, shipping next month!
I came to designing fabric by way of my books, Modern Basics, Modern Basics II and Modern Neutrals are available now, and Think Big – will be available in December. More on that one later ;)
Since writing Modern Neutrals, I've found a devotion to neutral fabrics, and loved selecting clean and clear neutral colors to have my fabric designs printed in. And we popped in a bit of color too – I still love saturated color, and couldn't resist!
With the fabric line, I have self-published five quilt patterns, you can find printed patterns and pdf patterns in my shop, along with details about sizes included, and fabric requirements. … Read More »
Quiltcast #46 — Creating Calm

Coffee Koozie (tutorial & free pattern!)
My friends over at the Fat Quarter Shop have a new pattern, and it's adorable!
The Coffee Koozie is perfect for the always adorable mini-charm packs (2 1/2″ squares). I can see them as great gifts, and they are so fast to make too! I made it in about a half hour, and it will definitely be faster next time! The fabrics used are Dottie by Moda, which are cheery and bright, or pretty neutral depending on your preferences. One mini charm pack could make up to three Coffee Koozie's too!
I quickly added the button via machine – that was a first for me and Melody, and it was so simple! Glad to have a better understanding of that foot :)
My only concern is that my girlies will try to claim the Coffee Koozie as a bracelet when I'm not looking…I think … Read More »
hi – my name is Amy
I've been so reclusive here – I felt the need to introduce myself again!
I'm a wife & mom.
I'm a sewist & quilter.
I'm an author & designer.
I'm a blogger & podcaster.
I love being and doing all these different things, but there have been a lot of challenges in the area of balance, lately! I know you can relate, we all seem to live in one state of busyness or another. This summer this space was at the bottom of my list of priorities, but I'm coming out of hiding, and plan to share lots in the coming weeks!
My kids started back to school last week, it was bittersweet as usual – I love having them home with me, but also appreciate the quiet that settles over the house while they are busy learning. And so, I've been working on getting back … Read More »

"This choice was perfect for me and my baby shower party favors. My order was deliveedr a day earlier than the suggested time, and the stickers were the perfect size and easy to remove from the backing and apply to the gift. I will definitely order other products! Thanks."
"This is a perfect solution to birthday cards that boys never read and that fall off the gift, so that you have no idea to whom to send the thank you card. I don't particularly love the colors but my 10 year old son does. Now I can stick one of these professionally printed gift stickers on the gift itself, and the card will not get detached from the gift. I bought these along with the paint ball thank you cards and return address labels."
"Looks exactly at the picture. Very nice quality paper and picture. Delivered just a few days after I ordered it! Will try the other products too!"
"Tiny Prints helped me get the gift tag stickers I really wanted: Two words printed in a larger Portenia font so guests could read them easier, and on the same line of text. Perfect. Thank you, Tiny Prints!!! Potential buyers: Yes, these are stickers. If you really want to make them into non-stick tags, just back them with card stock and punch a hole through then use ribbon."
"These are the perfect touch for sealing a card, a goodie bag, or making custom labels for different party favors. The only complaint is a minor one of the ink quality...just a tad lighter than the picture online (almost like I printed them myself) I had debated wether or not they were worth it, needless to say, I will definitely add these to all my future orders! Bonus: I received my order nearly a week earlier than expected."

The story of Winston, the rooster who wouldn't die.
(Continued from Page 2)
The first day temperatures rose above freezing, I saw him march the hens over to the bird feeder, where he and the girls like to peck at the seed the blue jays scatter on the ground.
He is better, though not quite himself. Today he led the hens up to the pole barn, then back. He has a hearty appetite, a softer but persistent crow. He can't hop up on the high roost with the hens anymore, but he likes to sit on the perch Annie built for him. Perhaps he will make it through one more spring.

We all know that fish can be a great source of heart-healthy lean protein. In fact, according to the Mayo Clinic, swapping in one or two servings of fish as your protein each week can lower heart attack risk by up to one-third. That's thanks to heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which help to reduce inflammation throughout the body, lower triglyceride levels and support brain health, among other benefits. The omega-3s you get from fish -- what are known as long-chain omega-3s, EPA and DHA -- are the most beneficial, according to WebMD.
But that doesn't mean eating fish can't also be fraught with concerns. Many fish species have high levels of the metal mercury -- a dangerous contaminant that can affect the nervous system. Mercury from pollution and that naturally occurs in the atmosphere both settle in our oceans, lakes and streams, where they are consumed by fish and then converted to the toxin, methylmercury. Fish that are high on the food chain consume other contaminated fish, compounding their mercury levels. The primary concern with fish and mercury is in infants and young children, whose developing nervous systems are particularly vulnerable to mercury's effects, but adults who have high exposure levels (an unlikely outcome from eating a few servings of fish) can experience significant central nervous system damage as well. Pregnant and nursing women are advised to be extremely careful about choosing the types of fish to eat.
Methylmercury poisoning is just one environmental concern among many. Fish can also contain the toxicant, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and our taste for fish has led to fishery collapse, decimating many species' populations. Climate change has also had an affect on fish population levels.
So how do you pick fish that are good for you and good for the environment? Several organizations keep track of which fish are low in mercury and other toxicants, aren't endangered and still manage to benefit your heart and brain health. Healthy Living surveyed several of these lists, including National Resources Defense Council, Monterey Bay Aquarium and Environmental Working Group. We asked our friends at HuffPost Taste to round up healthy recipes for these healthy, sustainable fish. Here's our list:
- Anchovies
- Butterfish
- Clams
- Domestic Crab
- Hake
- Herring
- Mackerel
- Oyster
- Perch
- Sardine
- Shad
- Squid
- Tilapia
- Freshwater Trout
- Whitefish
- Whiting

South Africa's First Black Billionaire Pledges To Donate Half His Wealth

If you were looking for good news, here's a bit of it from South Africa: Patrice Motsepe, the country's first black billionaire, announced today that he will donate half his fortune in order to help the poor.
"Mining magnate Motsepe, with assets estimated by Forbes magazine of $2.65 billion, said he is making the pledge to benefit the millions of South Africans who have seen little gain in their personal fortunes since white-minority rule ended in 1994.
"The Giving Pledge is a philanthropic initiative started by U.S. billionaire Warren Buffet along with Bill and Melinda Gates that has recruited nearly 100 billionaires, mostly Americans, who have pledged to donate the majority of their wealth to charity."
According to The Financial Times, Motsepe's wife, Precious, said that his wealth would be given away throughout his lifetime.
Motsepe, the Times adds, amassed his fortune as the chairman of African Rainbow Minerals, a mining company. He is South Africa's fourth richest man. The fifth, reports the Times, is his brother-in-law Cyril Ramaphosa.
There's no word whether Ramaphosa will join Buffet's Giving Pledge.
