Job Search: Making the Process Work for You
"I need a job, any job. Right away! I just need to pay my bills."
If the above statement reflects where you are in your job search process, you are in dire need of career development assistance. Take into consideration the ideas of the following section.
- Listening to and believing politicians and the media who are exaggerating and sensationalizing challenges in the current job market
- Getting career advice from family, friends, teachers, and other people who are not professional career development facilitators
- A pessimistic perspective about finding satisfying employment
- Viewing work is a distasteful chore and believing enjoyment is only for life outside the job
- Holding onto negative emotions about past experiences
- Assuming one is not able to compete for a great job because they are too old, lack experience, lack certain qualities, etc.
- Applying for jobs they aren't qualified for and/or don't really want
- Assuming just a resume or previous job search skills are enough
- Trying to fit oneself to a job opening rather than seeking opportunities that fit
Most of us rely on our jobs for income to meet our needs. However, employers are not in the business of providing us with an income. They are providing a product or service and expect their employees and job candidates to
• Have knowledge about and an interest in what the business does
• Know how their skills and experiences fit posted opportunities and/or can benefit the company
• Be ready to learn new skills and open to new ways of doing things
• Demonstrate a positive attitude about their work and their employer
- Practices keeping and projecting a hopeful and optimistic outlook
- Keeps looking, learning, trying and trying again
- Is able to find job postings and create opportunities in their field
- Consults with career development professionals for assistance
- Uses modern resources and techniques to market themselves
- Has a list of their skills and abilities and can apply them to new jobs
- Has confidence in their ability to do well in their chosen profession
- Knows what they want to do and are excited about the prospect of doing it
- Get That Job Learning Modules in the CAT Lab to develop job search and self-marketing skills
- Individual consultations through our Walk-In Clinics
- Customized strategies
- Career Interest Assessments (part of Get That Job Learning Module 1)
- Resources for further training and education
- Coaching and cheerleading
- Referrals to appropriate community resources
- A new perspective on careers and the world of work
Career Services are available to students, faculty, staff and community members at no charge.
SFCC Career Services highly recommends Unlock the Hidden Job Market (FT Press, 2010) by Duncan Mathison and Santa Fe local Martha I. Finney. This book is an excellent eye-opener for job seekers that is specifically directed to today's job market. These aren't the old job search ideas you're used to using -- and which probably aren't working anyway. Shake up your job search process and find the job you want, not just the one you have to settle for. This book is an excellent compliment to SFCC's Get That Job Seminars and gets high marks from both SFCC Career Services and our clients who have read it.
Copies are also available in the SFCC Library and the Santa Fe Public Library.
Martha Finney's 2009 book Rebound A Proven Plan for Starting Over After Job Loss is full of the same practical, sensible and do-able advice as in Unlock the Hidden Job Market. Clients who have been laid off, forced to quit or even fired enthusiastically say "This book is great! It's all about ME!". This book is an excellent complement to SFCC's Get That Job Seminars and gets high marks from both SFCC Career Services and our clients who have read it.
Copies are also available in the SFCC Library and the Santa Fe Public Library.
Another great job search resource is Cynthia Shapiro's What Does Somebody Have to Do to Get A Job Around Here? 44 Insider Secrets That Will Get You Hired (St. Martin's Griffen, 2008). Shaprio has been a Human Resources executive in highly competitive Los Angeles. She relays what really goes on in Human Resources offices and how they think. She also points out common mistakes people make in interviews and how to answer questions in a better way. This is also a great resource for salary and benefits negotiations with an exact script on what to say and when to say it. This book is available at the Santa Fe Public Library and can also be purchased used online.
Internships are an excellent way to "try on" a career. Many programs at SFCC incorporate paid and unpaid internships into their certificate and degree plans. Internships can also be customized and created to match your interests. Click on the the Internships/Cooperative Education link in the left margin.
CAREER OR JOB FAIRS are an excellent place to get ideas and find out what's out there, besides just diving in to a new opportunity. It is important to be serious about a job fair and take care to dress your best, bring copies of your resume or work history and be ready to make a great first impression. Santa Fe Community College sponsors the Fantastic Futures Career Fair in the Spring that is free and open to students, graduates and community members.
Check the Events & Resources page in the margin for SFCC and other local job fair events.
GET THAT JOB SEMINARS are now self-study learning modules available in the CAT Lab at the Center for Academic Transitions, room 131. These learning modules are designed to supplement individual work with the Career Services Coordinator. Stop by the office and find out more. Click here for a brochure.
BRING YOUR JOB SEARCH INTO THE 21ST CENTURY! A free online networking tool, called LinkedIn is a professional way to use Internet networking to find opportunities, as opposed to using the social networks of Facebook, MySpace and the like. This tool is only as useful as how you use it. You only upload ONE picture, a professional portrait, and you focus on the experience that you want to emphasize.
LinkedIn is more than an online resume. You can get your references to write reccomendations that will be seen before you are called to the interview, when you put your LinkedIn URL under your e-mail address on your regular resume or even in your e-mail signature. And you can attach links to your own web page and that of previous employers and businesses to show interested parties more in-depth information about your experience.
While you can search for job postings and research companies that might be employers in the search box, LinkedIn's best set of tools are the groups you can join to network as a current professional or a job seeker. You can find contacts in distant cities -- or countries, former colleagues or alumni from your alma mater who might have ideas and offer support in helping you find opportunties. Meet with SFCC's Career Services staff at a Walk-In Clinic or seminar to discuss how you might use LinkedIn to enhance and expand your job search.
**NEW** More and more employers are using LinkedIn to advertise and apply for job openings. Go to LinkedIn's Learning Center, Jobs for instructions on to post a position or apply.
IS A FELONY CONVICTION OR CRIMINAL RECORD CREATING HIRING PROBLEMS? FREE BONDING INSURANCE HELPS REASSURE EMPLOYERS TO TAKE THE CHANCE TO HIRE YOU. In 1966, the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) created the Federal Bonding Program (FBP) as an employer job-hire incentive that guaranteed the job honesty of at-risk job seekers. Federal financing of Fidelity Bond insurance, issued free-of-charge to employers, enabled the delivery of bonding services as a unique job placement tool to assist ex-offenders, and other at-risk/hard-to-place job applicants (e.g., recovering substance abusers, welfare recipients, poor credits, etc.)
The bonds issued by the FBP serve as a job placement tool by guaranteeing to the employer the job honesty of at-risk job seekers. Employers receive the bonds free-of-charge as an incentive to hire hard-to-place job applicants as wage earners. The FBP bond insurance was designed to reimburse the employer for any loss due to employee theft of money or property with no deductible amount to become the employer's liability (i.e., 100% bond insurance coverage).
Fidelity Bonding service delivery has been streamlined to take only a few minutes time, and efficiently serve the operational needs of local staffs who are already burdened by other paperwork and processing delays. Click here for more information. Contact the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solution's Federal Bond Program at 505-841-8501.
For more information, please contact Patty Armstrong, GCDF, Career Services Coordinator, 505-428-1406 (Fax: 505-428-1657), firstname.lastname@example.com.

Youngsters show 'love' for Forest Gate during Olympics
12:00 17 August 2012
Amid the bright lights and glory of the Olympics, youngsters were quietly showing love for their part of the borough.
Churches in Forest Gate joined forces to organise community-based activities in the shadow of the Games.
More than 70 dug gardens, swept roads, and took part in events at the Jack Cornwell Centre in Manor Park as part of the 10-day Love E7 scheme.
And last week, they could be seen on their hands and knees re-painting side panels along the side of Balmoral Road bridge.
Organiser Jimmy Dale, from Newham Youth for Christ, said: "This was about young people getting together and showing love for Forest Gate.
"The idea behind it is that young people are so often shown in a less than positive light.
"We are about helping some of these churches connect with young people. Some of them will continue with (the churches) once this is over."
The churches involved included St Mark's in Forest Gate, Woodgrange Baptist Church, St Saviour's Church, and Emmanuel Church in Forest Gate.
Newham Youth for Christ's first projects are to start again in September.
Mr Dale said the youngsters had come away with increased pride in their community, helped by the success of Stratford's own silver medallist Christine Ohurougu.
He added: "Hopefully off the back of that, there will be a good effect on Newham."

Markus Stöckl finished out the last day of summer riding his mountain bike down a… mountain. Unsurprising I suppose, except for the following: Top speed of 130mph or 210 km/h. On Snow. This breaks an 8 year old world record. Several of the articles mentioned he was forced to hold his breath during the descent. Personally, I'd be much more worried about my bowels. Clench inducing movie is here.
Following up on our Flyby podcast, Novara got us their new Dahon-engineered folding bike for a long-term test and I rode it on Alki last night.
I think it's the combination of the swooping frame, graphics, and little wheels that gets the attention – for me it was the Nexus 8-speed shifting and the ability to actually climb hills on it. Shot the photo with my iPhone.
While Intel announces all sorts of the "new" at the Intel Developer Forum, I'm thinking "does this tech apply to bikes?"
Sure we've got heart rate monitors, trip and speed computers, power meters, GPS, but I'm thinking an iPod bike or ultra-mobile PC that I can pop into a basket on my urban bike, like the BenQ.
There's a Nike+iPod, why not a bike?
"So you can't coast on that?" The question comes up pretty often. My bike is usually out in front of my desk and folks catch on pretty quick that there's something odd about it. No shifters, no corncob, no derailleurs. The question comes up after the explanation, and it almost always boils down to "why?". I know it's been said before many times, many ways – here's my go…
Belt drives are like corduroy and Ska – they come in and out of fashion, like very 15 years or so, and this year belt-drives are back (maybe the Mighty Mighty Bosstones are planning a reunion or we can at least remember what it was like before No Doubt).
So here's Bill Davidson holding a Delta CDrive for a project bike. He's planning on building "a clean, oil-free bike that you can put together in a hotel room, or quickly break it down when the bike racks are full on a bus."
A belt-drive single-speed will debut at Interbike, Ellsworth's Signature Ride is belt-driven, and the Bicycle Design blog is pondering belt-driven design.
As belt-drives come and go, what do you think? For Urban Bikes, seems to make sense, unless it's wet and they slip.

An education reform bill that could dramatically change the way teachers negotiate their contracts has passed both the Illinois House of Representatives and the Senate, and is now awaiting Gov. Pat Quinn's signature. The Illinois House passed the bill on Thursday, May 12, by a margin on 112-1. In the Senate, it passed 54-0. On Chicago Tonight at 7:00 pm, our panel will discuss the bill.
Here is a summary of the reforms:
– Outside of Chicago, education administrators will consider a teacher's average performance evaluation before laying them off. Years of service will be the tie-breaker in cases where two teachers score similarly. This will replace the policy currently in place: laying off the newest teachers first.
– Beginning teachers would have to earn "proficient" or "excellent" evaluations during two of the last three years of their four-year probationary period before they are eligible for tenure. Three consecutive years of high ratings can grant tenure in three years. Currently, teachers are given tenure after four years unless the school elects not to renew their contracts.
– School boards in Chicago and the suburbs would be able to dismiss tenured teachers more quickly. However, tenure would be "portable," so a teacher would not lose their tenure in one district if they left for a different district.
– Principals have the authority to fill teaching jobs based on merit, ability, experience and performance, and seniority will be used again as a tie-breaker.
– The state schools' superintendent can suspend or revoke a teaching certificate based on two unsatisfactory ratings within a seven-year period. They may also give a lesser sanction in terms of professional development training that the teacher must pay for.
– The Chicago School Board would be able to lengthen the school day or school year, but the Chicago Teachers Union would be able to negotiate pay and benefits for members who will work longer days.
– Before they can strike, the Chicago Teachers Union must form a board to look at the final offers on an issue from the Board of Education and the union and examine all parts of it for more than 75 days. Only after that period is complete can the Chicago Teachers Union vote to strike, and they must have 75 percent in favor of the strike.
– An audit of learning conditions will be taken to determine what affects students' learning in the classroom. Learning conditions will play a role in dismissal decisions for teachers.
– All school board members would have to undergo at least four hours of training a year.
Read the complete Senate Bill 7 here.
Chicago Tonight spoke with a few Chicago Public School teachers back in April to get an idea of what these contract reforms mean to them. Here is what they said:
Katy Clusen:
"I am of two minds because I have seen teachers hold on to jobs who were clearly only holding on to their jobs because of tenure. As I am myself a teacher with tenure, my salary is up there, and I am a target.
I totally understand that part of reform, but at the same time being in the system for a long time does not automatically make you a bad teacher. The things that I know now I did not know when I started at the Chicago Public Schools. It was something that I had to learn. I had to learn about the culture, I had to learn what it meant to be an inner-city teacher.
The whole movement is somewhat disturbing to me because I do feel like teachers are under attack because they have been in
the system a long time. The capriciousness of some principals needs to be acknowledged, and the legislation is not acknowledging that."
Samantha Godden-Chmielowicz:
"I think that obviously evaluations in teaching are necessary, as they are in any profession, and I would like to see teachers have more say in what their future goals are. A one time evaluation just gives you a simple snapshot and may not reflect the long term relationships in the classroom.
I would like to see less subjectivity of the evaluators. Teachers should be evaluated by more than one administrator before steps are taken. I'd like to see peer evaluations between teachers before disciplinary action steps are taken.
I don't agree that teachers should pay for their remediation courses, but all teachers should look to improve and change— not in a punishment way, but in a growth way. Teachers should set their own goals, such as: did I do enough parent contact, did I attend enough professional development opportunities and did I improve with my instructional delivery?"

Callaway Fellow Diana Novak contributed to this report.

Cornerback Chris Harris Jr. is one step closer to returning to the field for the Denver Broncos.
The 25-year-old Harris began training camp as the only member of the team's physically unable to perform list after undergoing surgery on a torn ACL in Jan. On Monday, he was cleared by Dr. James Andrews during a check-up, paving the way for Harris to rejoin the team.
"It passed," said Harris. "Everything's OK. Everything's good. I can feel like a teammate now."
Harris suffered the injury during the team's divisional-round matchup against the San Diego Chargers. His surgery was performed by the same doctor as Von Miller's. Both expect to be ready to go when the Broncos begin the regular season. Harris still needs to be cleared by the Broncos, but is expected to return to practice soon.
"Dr. Andrews said my range of motion is incredible," said Harris. "What I have to keep working on now is strengthening my quad. Which will come in time."
Now entering his fourth NFL season, Harris became a full time starter last year. Playing in all 16 regular season games, he had 65 tackles and 14 passes defense, with three interceptions. Undrafted out of Kansas, Harris made the team as a rookie in 2011. Harris has 198 career tackles, with seven interceptions and two touchdowns.
In the Denver secondary, Harris will be joined this season by former Jayhawks teammate Aqib Talib, who was signed this offseason.
Tuesday was an off-day for the Broncos, but when they return to the field on Wednesday, they will have another addition. Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas was back at Dove Valley on Monday, but did not practice. He had missed the beginning of camp to attend to the funeral of his grandmother Gladys, who recently lost her battle with Alzheimer's disease.
"I want to take my hat off to them [the Broncos]. They sent flowers," said Thomas. "It was wonderful that they let me go. They were looking out for me and my family."

The Kite Runner

|Homayoun Ershadi
|Shaun Toub
|Rahim Khan
|Atosa Leoni
|Said Taghmaoui
|Zekira Ebrahimi
|Young Amir
|Nabi Tanha
|Directed by

|Rated PG-13
|122 minutes
Among the revelations of Marc Forster's powerful adaptation of Khaled Hosseini's novel is that the excitement of a duel between kites outstrips the hyper-technics of Jedi rocket jockeys in digital fighters, and leaves the antics of battling superheroes in the dust. Watching the brightly colored paper warriors soar and swoop, wheel and spin, leap on a breath of wind toward space and then execute a sudden surgical dive to cut the string of a rival, you are reminded of how much can be done with passion and a few simple ingredients in the hands of kids far from the world of microchips. (That these scenes in the movie are computer enhanced detracts little from the principle).
The Kite Runner is a story of guilt and atonement. Amir (Zekiria Ebrahimi) grows up in pre-Soviet Afghanistan, the son of a well-to-do widowed father, Baba (the wonderful Iranian actor Homayoun Ershadi, of A Taste of Cherry). Baba, a tough-minded intellectual, is worried about his son, who doesn't seem to have inherited the manly qualities the father would like to see. "A boy who won't stand up for himself won't stand up for anything when he's a man", Baba complains to his friend Rahim Khan (Shaun Toub).
Amir's best friend is Hassan (Ahmad Khan Mahmoodzada), the son of his father's servant Ali (Nabi Tanha). Hassan would do anything for Amir, and often fights his fights for him. Amir is the bookish type, and writes stories, which Hassan loves to hear. The boys play together and go to the movies – their favorite is The Magnificent Seven, from which they can recite every line of dialogue. Most importantly, they fly kites together. Amir is adept at the flying, and Hassan is the best kite runner in Kabul – when a kite string is severed in a duel and the kite flies free, Hassan knows instinctively where it will come down.
Amir wins the big all-city tournament, and Hassan takes off to capture his prize, the final kite downed in competition. When Amir goes looking for him, he finds his friend cornered by bullies. Too cowardly to step in and help, he watches helplessly from the shadows as Hassan is beaten, and much worse.
After that, their relationship changes. Amir despises himself, and Hassan's continued presence and loyalty is a daily rebuke. Amir distances himself from his friend, and schemes to discredit Hassan and his father, and have them sent away.
It is not long after this that the Russians invade Afghanistan. The staunchly anti-communist Baba must flee with his son. He vows to return when the Russians leave, observing portentously "Everyone leaves. This country is not kind to invaders". The family winds up in the San Francisco Bay area. In this brave new world the proud Baba is diminished to a gas station attendant. But Amir goes to school, and to college, and marries a nice Afghani girl, and publishes his first novel.
Underneath all this, Amir's shameful childhood secret still festers like the cancer that is eating away his father. And shortly after Baba dies, the telephone rings. It is an ailing Rahim Khan, calling from Pakistan, with a cryptic reprieve: "And now there is a way to be good again".
Readers of the novel will know what that way is. Suffice to say that Amir (played as an adult by Khalid Abdalla) reluctantly accepts this challenge and opportunity, and returns on a quest to an Afghanistan now firmly in the chilling grip of the Taliban. His mission is personal and dramatically satisfying, but the greater impact of this part of the story is the picture it gives of a society where intellect and individuality once flourished (at least for some), now gone mad under the brutal reign of terror of religious fundamentalism.
The Kite Runner is dramatically and visually sumptuous (much of the Afghan material was shot in China). It begins, revisits, and ends in northern California. But it never feels at home there. Where it lives is in Afghanistan, in the dusty streets and adobe alleys of Kabul, in the majestic mountains and desert landscapes and in the vast blue, kite-filled skies. Its real story is in the extended flashback of Amir's youth and in the harrowing quest of his present.
Note: This movie has generated uncomfortable controversy over a scene in which a boy is sodomized by a gang of bullies, one of whom surfaces years later as a Taliban official. The scene, central to the story, is done with restraint, but the young actor playing the victimized boy claims he was not told about it until shortly before it was shot. He refused to lower his pants for the scene, but a double was used for a brief exposure of buttock. "They didn't give me the script. They didn't give me the story of The Kite Runner", the boy told the Associated Press. "If I knew about the story, I wouldn't have participated as an actor in this film." It's an allegation the producers have denied. Paramount, the film's distributor, delayed the release of the film until the school term in Afghanistan ended and the families of the young actors could be gotten safely out of the country.
Despite this, and some disturbing violence, the film has a PG-13 rating.

Sonny Bill Williams could be stripped of boxing title
The New Zealand Professional Boxing Association's losing patience with Sonny Bill Williams' reluctance to defend his heavyweight title belt.
Williams hasn't defended the belt since he won it in February last year and has received a 1-million dollar offer to fight the rising star Joseph Parker for it.
However since recommitting to rugby league, Williams reportedly says he won't fight for at least three years.
The NZPBA secretary, Pat Leonard, says if he has no plans to fight, he should do the courteous thing and resign the belt.
He says if he hasn't heard from Williams in the next few weeks the association will vote on whether the title should be stripped.

While most 16-year-olds in Barnsley have been relaxing during half-term this week, James Bree has been signing a professional deal at Oakwell until 2017.
Bree turned down Manchester United in the summer and is tipped as 'the next John Stones' by staff at the Oakwell academy, where he has played for four years.
Because players cannot sign professional deals until they are 17, the midfielder – who can also play in defence – has been given a scholarship which will turn into a professional contract on his birthday which is December 11.
The Wakefield lad is the latest product of the academy which produced Everton and England under 21 centre-back Stones as well as several others who have played first team football for the Reds.
Bree has been part of the successful Barnsley under 18s side this season despite being officially an under 16. He missed their win at Huddersfield on Saturday due to a skiing trip with Horbury School, where he is a year 11 pupil.
He told the Chronicle: "It's a dream come true to sign a professional deal but I know the hard work starts now.
"I have seen how well John Stones has done and hopefully I can do the same. I knew that I had made the right decision to stay here and not join Man U at the time and I know it even more now.
I have spoken to a few of the first year pros like Paul Digby and I have spoken to Bobby Hassell quite a lot."
Chief executive Ben Mansford said: "We wanted James to know how highly we thought of him. It is testament to the academy and the club that James signed for us despite interest from Premier League clubs.
"There is a lot of good work going on at the academy and a lot of investment into it by the owner Patrick Cryne so it is important that we protect our assets by identifying the best players early and signing them on long-term deals."

What is Service-Learning?
Service-learning is a form of experiential education in which students
engage in activities that address human and community needs in the
context of in-depth learning of relevant issues and structured reflection activitties.
The combination of issue-based learning, reflection and action in initiatives that meet an authentic community need, enables students to identify themsselves as members of a community contributing to positive social change.
What is Jewish Service-Learning?
Jewish service-learning infuses service-learning with Jewish sources, values
and traditions. Typically, volunteers engaged in Jewish service-learning explore
classical texts or the writings of Jewish thinkers and apply them to the issues
that are being addressed.
Although the terminology is new, the practice of integrating Jewish learning with action can be found in classical sources. Rabbi Akiva taught that "Study is great because it leads to action" (Kiddushin 40b), while Shimon HaTzaddik said, "The world stands on three pillars: Torah (study), Avodah (prayer), and Gemilut Hasadim (acts of kindness)" (Pirkei Avot 1:2).
Incorporating Jewish service-learning into service projects builds community and provides volunteers with an opportunity to explore and strengthen their Jewish identities.
The PARE model:
The PARE model is a systematic approach to planning effective community service projects. Using PARE to design and implement service projects helps a group learn from the experience of serving the community. Preparing for and reflecting upon service helps to overcome stereotypes and places the service experience in a broader context for participants. Evaluating action helps to improve the service in which the group is engaged. While use of the PARE approach does not guarantee a successful service experience, it helps to minimmize the number of missteps that result from lack of forethought and planning, while maximizing the participants' understanding of what happened.
Definition of Jewish Service-Learning adapted from statements from the Jewish Coalition for Service and Spark: Partnership for Service.
PARE Model from University of Maryland Faculty Handbook for Service-Learning, Marie Troppe, Editor (University of Maryland, 1999).
The PARE model describes the critical elements of service-learning, but they are not rigid, sequential steps. For example, you might begin the process with an opportunity for reflection and this often leads to more meaningful action.
Or you might engage in evaluation concurrent with action, and then adjust your plans on an ongoing basis based on developments during the course of the project.
The material presented in the next few chapters is designed to support educators as they prepare students to proceed through the different steps of PARE. It is important to realize that getting students ready for PARE and leading students through the process of PARE are two separate things. We recommend that students be oriented to the methodology as a whole before embarking on the planning process. Performing a community needs assessment is an aspect of the preparation stage. It precedes students' decision about what "action" to take. However, as students prepare for PARE, it is useful to explore all five modes of action so that when students are investigating problems or issues they can think creatively about the most effective strategy for advancing positive social change.

It was a lifting tackle, no malice or not but he reached between the players legs and lifted beyond horizontal. He also didn't let go and drove down.
This type if tackle is banned for a reason, Melbourne player should have Been sent off, simple as that.
If he came in with swinging arm and knocked a player out cold he would have been sent. As it was knights played rest of match a player short. At that level it's hard to win.
An illegal tackle taking out the opposition player from the rest of the game should be dealt with swiftly on the field and send the player off, plus a lengthy suspension.
I can't believe commenters are trying to water down the tackle, Melbourne player is totally in the wrong.
Thank you Andrew for keeping us informed.
Trust Alex McKinnon is OK. Definately wouldn't have been deliberate and unfortunate part of the game today.

Filmed before the death of "The Dear Leader" Kim Jong-Il, we follow a Nepalese doctor dedicated to helping victims of cataract blindness in poor countries see again. In North Korea we see the handlers, inside the apartments, and the overall Orwellian society that is the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea is. When the victims have their bandages removed and they can finally see, instead of thanking the Doctors (who have to bring their own equipment), they thank Kim Jong-Il as if he is God and vow to work even harder for him! People in North Korea are so isolated that most of them do not even know that a man has walked on the moon. North Korea despite a population of only 23 million, has the fourth largest army in the world although malnutrition though makes the average Nork solider considerably smaller then the average South Korean (ROK) soldier.
On August 15, 1962, American soldier Joe Dresnok defected to North Korea. Burdened by a failed marriage and a terrible childhood, he somehow felt that North Korea was the answer. There have been three other Americans who defected around that time to the DPRK. Two died there and a third, Charles Jenkins married to a kidnapped Japanese woman was able to relocate to Japan.

According to the World Lacrosse Championships website on Monday, Curtis Dickson of the Calgary Roughnecks was one of three Canadians to register a hat trick in a 20-3 Canada triumph over Japan at the World Lacrosse Championships in Denver, Colorado. Dickson, a native of Port Coquitlam, British Columbia scored three goals, while Mark Mathews of the Edmonton Rush scored five goals and Jeremy Noble of the Major Lacrosse League's Denver Outlaws had four goals.
With the victory, Team Canada improves to 3-1 and are in a second place tie with the Iroquois Nationals. However Canada has the tie breaker with the Iroquois because Canada won their head-to-head meeting Sunday evening by a score of 9-8.
It is a return to the World Lacrosse Championships in 2014 for the Iroquois Nationals. At the 2010 World Lacrosse Championships in Manchester, England, British authorities would not accept the tribunal passports of the Iroquois and the team could not enter Great Britain. The Iroquois Nationals were then forced to forfeit all of their games.
The Canadians completely dominated the Japanese on Monday. They scored six times each in the first and second quarters and then four goals each in the third and fourth quarters. Calgary native Geoff Snider of the Calgary Roughnecks did not register a point, but did lead Canada by collecting six loose balls and winning 11 of 15 faceoffs.
Canada also dominated the shots on goal category. Canada had 41 shots, compared to Japan's 19. The shots on goal totals in the second and fourth quarters were rather close however. In the second quarter, Canada outshot Japan 8-7 and in the fourth quarter Canada outshot Japan 9-7.
Canada closes out the round robin with a game against Australia Tuesday evening. Game time is 8 p.m. MT and can be seen on TSN2.

Opened in 1911, the New York Public Library was the largest marble structure in the United States at that time, and featured two enormous stone lions, sculpted by E. C. Potter, that graced the entrance. The main reading room was the largest one of its kind in the world, ,with ceilings measuring 50 feet high, and 77 feet wide by 295 feet long. It soon became a cultural center of New York City, and one of the most important buildings in America.
At its Centennial Exhibition in 2011, over 250 artifacts from its research collections were featured which included more than 1000 years of history in the fields of "literature, dance, social activism, invention, exploration, religion, history, and innumerable other intellectual disciplines and creative pursuits," as well as artifacts that had once belonged to a number of literary "giants," including William Shakespeare, Charlotte Brontë, and Jorge Luis Borges.

Tony Stewart went to Watkins Glen this weekend, just over a year after suffering a season-ending injury on an Iowa dirt track. Yet before racing the Cheez-It 355 at the Glen on August 10, Stewart returned to a dirt track on the night of August 9. This time around, the result was much, much worse, as a crash with a 20-year-old driver named Kevin Ward Jr. resulted in Ward walking through the track, only to get struck and killed by Stewart himself.
As of 9:30 a.m. est on August 10, the incident is merely under investigation by the local police. In the meantime, Stewart is tentatively set on racing at the Glen later today, despite the obvious difficulty. But that is just one of the many issues being debated in the wake of this tragedy.
Stewart's affinity for dirt tracks resulted in his broken leg last year. His comeback this season hasn't gone well, as he is only 19'th in points and needs one victory in the next five weeks to have a chance at making the Chase for the Cup. But instead of resting up for today's race, Stewart went back behind the wheel the night before.
According to reports, Stewart collided into Ward's car and spun him out in Turn 2. In the immediate aftermath, Ward reportedly came onto the track and waited to confront Stewart, only to get struck by him. At the moment, he has not been charged for the incident, as it appears to look like an accident so far.
Nevertheless, Stewart will be second guessed and then some for even being there in the first place. But the second guessing over his current decision to race at Watkins Glen just a half-day later will be even louder today.
Yahoo Sports' Jay Busbee has already written that NASCAR "needs to park" Stewart and make him sit out, if he won't do it himself. However, NASCAR has no authority over the dirt racing circuit, so it presumably can't punish him over his actions there -- at least not with the limited facts so far.
Yet Busbee wrote that "now is not a time" for Stewart to "use the race track as personal grief therapy." But whether he races or not, few will be really focused on anything other than him at Watkins Glen today, even when the race starts at 1 p.m. est on ESPN.

The first annual Arverne By The Sea Bicycle Race was held on Beach 73 Street last Sunday under cloudy and threatening skies. Despite the weather, nearly 100 riders came from both Rockaway and the rest of the metropolitan area for a series of races that accommodated local amateurs and professionals. The 1.6-mile course took riders both on Rockaway streets and on the boardwalk. The top prize in the professional race was $1,000, while amateur winners won a bicycle. Pictured, the pros come off Beach 73 Street and onto Rockaway Beach Boulevard.

Yes, dieting is hard, and most weight-loss behaviors are unlikely to cause harm since most people can't keep them up for a long period of time. But other types of diets, from drastic detox diets to extreme calorie reduction, can cause serious health consequences almost immediately.
"People get so focused on weight loss they are willing to do unproven and potentially dangerous things that can backfire and cause serious health problems," says Michelle May, MD, an Arizona-based weight management doctor.
Dramatic Weight Loss – It's Not What It Seems
Yes, any and all dramatic diet measures can result in quick and dramatic weight loss, but the downside is that, because these are all temporary fixes, the weight loss not only will not be long-term, but in many cases, will re-appear quickly, sometimes along with a few extra pounds. Aside from these diets being non-permanent solutions, medical experts also are alarmed by the extreme dangers that these women are putting themselves at risk for.
YOU SHOULD SEE: A Free Program For Those Who Need Help Losing Weight!
"Rapid weight loss increases the risk of heart arrhythmias, dehydration, and electrolyte disturbances," says Ethan Lazarus, a family doctor in Denver who specializes in obesity medicine. "Shedding pounds this quickly, he says, makes it likely that you will lose more lean body mass and water than fat. This can slow metabolism and result in an instant regain of weight once you go off the diet. You may gain more than you lost," says Lazarus.
Experts also point out that your waistline isn't the only thing that suffers from rapid weight loss. Other effects include shrunken fingers and feet and a drooping face—which can result in a loose wedding ring, flopping shoes, and a blushing bride with a dull expression.
So what should you NEVER do for the sake of losing pounds?
1. Starve
Severely slashing calories leads to weight loss but the lost weight includes precious muscle mass and poses health risks — and most people end up regaining all the weight, plus some.
"Rapid weight loss by critical calorie restriction causes water, some fat, and muscle loss, which ultimately decreases metabolism so the body needs fewer calories to survive," says May, author of Eat What You Love and Love What You Eat. It also causes a shift toward a higher percentage of body fat, which increases the risk for metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
Don't cut calories below 1,200 per day; otherwise you will struggle to meet nutrient needs, fuel activity, and satisfy hunger. Keep in mind that when you lose weight quickly, you tend to pack it back on with more fat and less muscle, which lowers your metabolism and calorie needs.
2. Take Questionable Supplements Making Incredible Statements
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Diet pills, potions, and concoctions purchased over the counter or ordered through the Internet are unlikely to be effective, not necessarily safe or capable of delivering on the oft exaggerated promises.
Over-the-counter diet pills may not appear to be dangerous , but they can still cause harm. "Most diet pills are nothing more than a quick fix loaded with caffeine and diuretics that can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance," says Diekman, director of nutrition at Washington University in St. Louis.
The FDA does not give supplements the same scrutiny as prescription drugs. Some over-the-counter or Internet products "can be harmful, ineffective, and a waste of money," says American Dietetic Association spokeswoman Jeannie Gazzaniga-Moloo, PhD, RD.
The FDA urges people to report dangerous supplements through its MedWatch program. Buyers beware: Just because it says it is natural, doesn't necessarily mean it is safe or good for you.
The hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) diet is a good example of a plan that isnot FDA approved for weight loss, yet legions of dieters are using it. Weight loss from The hCG Diet, May says, likely has more to do with the 500-calorie restriction, not the hCG from urine of pregnant women. It has the same risks as a very low-calorie diet, along with unknown risks associated with long-term use of hCG. Some doctors even dispense risky therapies from their offices that are not approved for weight loss.
Forget supplements and diet pills. Instead, Moloo says, rely on healthy foods to help you lose weight.
3. Rely On Cleanses/Detox Programs
Most cleanses cause weight loss from water and stool weight, at best, but they can be dangerous and carry risks of dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and more.
"Losing lots of fluid without medical supervision is risky and when combined with fasting, even riskier. Your body is uniquely fine-tuned to detoxify and excrete toxins, so many cleanses are unnecessary and can lead to serious complications by messing with your body's finely-tuned system," May says.
Instead of detoxifying, be more mindful of what you eat. If you want to cleanse or detoxify your body, drink plenty of water and eat lots of high-fiber foods.
4. Purge

Looking for a way to rack up those rewards points? There are several. Here are some great ideas to get more points every single year.
First, be sure that you sign up for at least one of the very best rewards cards every year. The bonuses just for signing up right now are amazing, so you can get 100,000 miles just by completing your application if you choose your cards wisely.
If you cancel the account as soon as you get the rewards, you'll only have a small impact on your credit card. Here are a few more great tips on racking up those points now:
- Enroll in a micro-lending program like Kiva.org. You can use your rewards card, the borrower pays you back over time, and you still get the rewards for using your card.
- Send money to friends or family members via PayPal or another online service. If you simply pay a friend, then have them send you that money back, you get the points, and you're not out any money.
- Use iDine. You can register five different cards with this program, and you get your reward points just by eating out at the restaurants on their list. You get 15 points or 15% cash back for every $1 you spend.
- Be conscious of which cards you're using. Use those that pay more on gas at the pump. Use those that pay more on groceries at the store. Just by segregating which cards you use when, you can really get some serious points.
- Shopping portals are your friend. If you shop through your credit card company, you could be in for a treat like double points or something similar. Just make sure you're not paying too much.
- Use your card for medical expenses, then file for reimbursement from your flex spending account. It may take a bit longer, but you're going to get more in the long run.
- If you use babysitters or contractors, ask if you can by with an American Express gift card instead of cash. You can buy this with your credit card, and it works just like cash for them.

ELYRIA – A judge agreed to give the attorney of Alyson Sweany more time to look into the possibility that a blood platelet disorder rather than child abuse caused the death of Jesse Crum Jr.
Lorain County Common Pleas Judge James Miraldi at first said he would deny Paul Griffin's request for additional time in the case and continue Sweany's sentencing one week.
But the judge relented a few minutes later after Griffin asked for a month to research the case on his own time with the help of a medical expert to try to determine whether the possible blood disorder was responsible for the 3-year-old's death.
Miraldi rescheduled the sentencing for Sept. 22, but denied Griffin's request for court funds to hire an expert.
Sweany, 23, pled guilty to charges of endangering children March 23 in the March 2010 death of her son, and was to be sentenced Thursday.
Griffin told Miraldi he was not withdrawing Sweany's guilty plea.
"We just want to explore this issue (the possible blood disorder) to make sure" it had no possible bearing on the case, Griffin said.
"There are indications that the child may have suffered from a platelet disorder that led to his death. … It's just a theory."
If a review by a medical expert leads to a future belief that Sweany was innocent of the charges she earlier pled guilty to, "it is possible we would take the issue to trial," Griffin said.
Objecting to Griffin's request, Assistant County Prosecutor Laura Dezort said if such an examination led to Sweany's guilty plea ultimately being withdrawn, "all bets would be off about refiling the case to the grand jury. Miss Sweany pled guilty and admitted her guilt."
Dezort called the theory about a blood disorder a "delaying tactic" and "red herring."
"If the child had not been beaten, there probably would not be a blood disorder," Dezort said. "This (review) is something that should have been done long ago."
The child died in March 2010 at MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland from what medical authorities concluded was blunt head trauma, brain hemorrhages and pneumonia.
Griffin was appointed as Sweany's counsel June 27 after John Chambers, one of the woman's former attorneys, was disbarred. Another lawyer, who was a friend of Chambers, opted to step aside from the case as well.
Although Sweany was not found guilty of inflicting child abuse or injuries to Jesse, she was guilty of failing to remove the boy from an environment in which he was exposed "to a ticking time bomb," Dezort said. Her remarks referred to Sweany's boyfriend, Peter Jones, who hanged himself in June 2010 days before he was to be sentenced on endangering children charges that sprang from a January 2009 incident in which the small boy was scalded by hot water while taking a bath at the Amherst home of Jones' parents, Dallas and Therese Jones, with whom Peter Jones and Sweany lived.
Dallas and Therese Jones received probation for endangering children and drug charges stemming from a marijuana growing operation police found in their Amherst home while searching for evidence about what happened to Jesse. The charges they pleaded guilty to were unrelated to Jesse's death.
Sweany's family and friends maintain the child's injuries resulted from an episode in which a bookcase the boy climbed on in the Jones' home toppled over onto him.
Family members of Jesse Crum Sr., the boy's father, maintained the boy was routinely abused by Jones and Sweany.

God in the Little Things
August 03, 2012 | by Dana Collins
This week with Jeep and Rachel both out of the office I have been holding the fort and feeling a bit overloaded. Then yesterday on my way home with the thought of facing ranch chores in 100 degree weather I found in my mailbox a letter from Katie Davis with Amazima Ministries. I believe this was God's timing in that her message was about God being in the daily "little things" of life not just the big things, say, like mission trips. Hmm, this got my attention and I remembered that I was not really alone but He was with me. My part of Jeep's mission trip is about obeying God and saying "yes" to doing the little things here at the workplace and at home with a joyful attitude, grateful for the opportunity, so that Jeep and Rachel could do what God had called them to do in the mission field. God is so good! Today I am pumped up and ready to face my day with a "yes" to the little things! (Luke 16:10)
Thanks for your prayers for Jeep and the team.
- i know exactly what you mean...i was terribly sick with a migraine; feeling so sorry for myself; then got up to make two calls about "problems" with health care coverage(for me and one for my mother)...expecting people to be grumpy to me on the phone, exact opposite; both were the most polite, willing to talk and help kind of cheerful people...it took these two small conversations to realize that people care; and life could be so much worse!

Gauge Cluster
|Dash was in sad shape with well worn gauges.
|Close up of gauge panel shows it rough to say the least.
|We took it apart and stripped all the old paint, as seen it was made in aluminum. We marked all the dents that needed taken out. Makes me wonder how a gauge panel got whacked in so many places to get all those dents in it? Shows just how fragile aluminum is especially being that this cover is backed up by a plastic housing. See next photo.
|Here is the plastic backup housing. The factory had it glued together so it was a lot of fun to get it apart with out doing more damage.
|The dents were removed and a skim coat of glaze was applied to remove imperfections which we then sanded with 180-320 grit and then primed.
|We then fitted it to the dash to be sure all was well. We sanded the hi-build primer with 400 grit to get it ready to paint.
|Gauges need complete restoration also.
|Disassemble all pieces.
|Clean up, rebuild, detail and "voila" you have better then new looking parts.
|Test them all before assembly. They all work great.
|Dishes are done man!
|Same with the temp controls.

A moment can last forever
In a world that seems ever more fast-paced, it is becoming harder and harder to live in the moment. And while we all take pictures with our smartphones and update our statuses right away, something is still missing. Maybe you're behind the camera and never get into the frame, or your photos aren't doing your memories justice, or your leaving the moment to take a picture is upsetting the very moment itself. Whatever the case may be, It's time to hire a professional. Because it's worth it.
My photographs have appeared on websites and in newspapers, on bookshelves and on walls. I have taken photographs on four different continents and across the decades, but there is always a constant: a moment in time when the essence of a person, place, or thing is captured for all eternity. Because moments are priceless, and they deserve to last forever.
My goal as an author is to share a different perspective on issues, bring humor & honesty to otherwise dark places, and tell stories of good times and blah -- all the while hoping that with grace & humility I can help you & me become better people.
I have written for over a dozen websites, mostly concerning pregnancy & parenting, but also covering a wide range of other stories and issues. In addition, I have contributed a recipe to a vegan cookbook & a story for a forthcoming anthology, and I am busy working on my first book. Please connect with me on Twitter & Facebook to stay tuned!
Besides being a photographer, author, and of course, wife & mother, I am also an entrepreneur, infographic designer, public speaking storyteller, occasional guest on the local news, and probably a few other things I've forgotten. What can I say? I like to keep busy!
