I belong to a few staffing professional organizations. These groups share best practices and staffing philosophies from industry leaders. They also create a platform for recruiters to network. And frankly, I've noticed some bad networking. I'll talk about my experiences with these networking recruiters because I've seen it first-hand. But I can't believe this is specific to the staffing space. I'm sure bad networking happens all over the place. What I am talking about here is networking inside your industry/function (for me that's recruiting pro-to-recruiting pro). My comments here don't apply to people who are considering making a job move and are reaching out to me as a recruiter. Those folks should feel totally free and comfortable to shoot me an e-mail, especially if it includes a bio, resume or something similar. Anyway, as far as in-industry networking, here's what I've noticed:
The contact collectors
I've talked about these people before in posts about social networking. They use their so-called "network" to establish their credibility in the industry and people actually congratulate them for it. These are the people that try to connect with you via some networking tool, but there's never any exchange of info. You are a number to them ("Let's all congratulate so-and-so on their one-thousandth person in their network"). I don't connect with these people. Really, how valuable can their "network" of 1500 people be, given that they asked me to join and I don't know them? One thing I have noticed about the people that do this is that they try to establish their industry cred in other ways too (creating cool sounding titles that don't exist, working feverishly to book speaking engagements). There's a credibility issue there, in my opinion. I'm not saying that these people don't know how to recruit…just that I think they are going about establishing their industry expertise in the wrong way. I'll just leave it at that.
The "do-my-job-for-me" networking contact
I get these all the time. In fact, just got one today. I get an e-mail from someone I don't know asking for help with a position they are trying to fill (not a recruiter position….one of their open requisitions). Without much lead-in, they dump the job descriptions on you and let you know that "any help would be greatly appreciated". Why would I want to help this person that 1) I don't know and 2) thought this was an OK way to network? Sheesh!
The "I'm not sure what I want from you, but I sure do want to know ya" contact
These are the folks that know that they should be in contact with you but they don't know why. The mails are awkward and sometimes overly complimentary. They want to keep in touch with you but they don't know how. They are probably more selective than the contact collectors, but they don't know what they are driving for.
The "I'm afraid of Google" contact
This one absolutely drives me nuts and I know one of you is going to be funny and send me a mail just like this. This is the person that knows something about you; something that they are interested in. And instead of doing some research on their own, they ask you to explain it to them. For example, shortly after I presented at the ERE conference last October, a woman left me a voicemail asking me to explain the blogging methodology to her. From what I could understand from the voicemail, she thought that "blog" was some sort of tool that she could buy to source candidates. A simple "what is blogging" search would have saved her some embarrassment (either after her first or second voicemail to me). I can't tell you how many times I've gotten something similar. It's a little discouraging and I've gotten to the point where I've recommended people do a quick internet search to find the answer and then let me know if they have any further questions.
So anyhoo, here's my philosophy on networking and then I'll gives some tips for effective networking just from my own observation…you all may have more to add and feel free.
Effective networking is a relationship. A network of any value is a connected group of trusted individuals. That trust comes from knowing them. In the internet age, you can find just about anyone online. So unless your own network is trusted, there's little value. The way I think about these relationships is like this:
(what's in it for me + what's in it for you) X (trust through knowing you) = relationship
No, I am not talking about dating but it works there too…I'm no expert, though ; ) Anyway, the what's in it for me/you piece gets established straight away. This is how you share. You obviously want to get something out of the relationship, but you need to offer something too. That gives you a platform to build from. It makes you a "contact". The exchange of valuable information between the 2 people is what makes it a "relationship". That is a building process.
So here are some of my tips on reaching out to people you want to network with:
-Have a point. Even if you are just contacting the person to ask a question. I get mails all the time from folks who want to "synch up". My question: "about what?" Points are good. Everyone should have one. I certainly don't mind answering questions from anyone if I have the info (in fact, keep the blog questions coming).
-Know what's in it for them, but don't force it on them. If someone contacts me because they want information on how I do something, they should be able to articulate what I can learn from them as well. Frame it as sharing: "I'd love to get your thoughts on XYZ. We are doing some exciting things with regard to ABC if you are at all interested in hearing about that". I do a lot of this kind of sharing with people and I find it really valuable. It justifies the time investment.
-If your first contact isn't quid pro quo, be a giver…you can be a taker later. I get mails from people saying "Hey Heather…you are fabulous…and by the way, I thought you would be interested in this article". I love that! The ones who I've never heard of before that want me to help them fill their open position…well, those mails get deleted (and I make a mental note).
Like I said, none of this really applies to the blogging I do here or my interaction with candidates…you don't need to explain what's in it for me. This is different. And the fact that you even show up here and read my stuff is enough for me.

- Master of Science, Cornell University, 2002
- Doctor of Philosophy, Cornell University, 2005
Research Interests:
Synthesis of inorganic-organic materials, studies of composition and corrosion in organ pipes and other cultural materials.
Research in the Oertel lab is in the area of inorganic materials chemistry, with projects focusing on both synthesis of new materials and conservation of historic materials. We synthesize hybrid inorganic-organic network compounds, in which metal centers are linked by ditopic organic ligands. Building blocks for these materials are selected with the goal of preparing functional materials by incorporating catalytically active sites or low-symmetry components. Solvothermal reactions, in which reagent mixtures are heated in sealed containers to above the normal boiling points of their solvents, are used to promote crystal growth. Compounds are characterized on campus by powder X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis and are studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction through off-campus collaborations.
A second, interdisciplinary area of research uses methods of materials chemistry to study the causes and mechanisms of corrosion of historic organ pipes. We use exposure chambers to expose representative metal samples to corrosive conditions and study the corrosion product compositions and morphologies by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. This project has the goal of obtaining information that can be used by organ builders and restorers to conserve historic organ pipes and prevent corrosion in new ones.

Euthanasia for pets is death done right
Here's where we start talking about the nitty-gritty. Veterinary medicine may not be perfect, but we do some things right. Euthanasia is a great example of where my profession shines.
"I give good death."
That's a quote from a veterinarian I greatly admire. He prides himself on treating end of life issues for his patients the same way he treat his own pets: With compassion, love and humanity. I do my best to emulate him.
You might think it's a bit weird, veterinarians patting themselves on the back for killing their patients. But you might want to reconsider your stance after experiencing how humane and peaceful a veterinarian-attended euthanasia can be.
Companion animal veterinarians have nearly perfected the art of a "beautiful death." Not only do we get the science right with our humane, two-injection protocol (a strong sedative before an overdose of anesthetic), we work hard to make this last experience with your pet a soothing, loving, memorable one.
We may lay down blankets, ask you how you feel, explain what's going to happen, bring you water, listen to your favorite stories about your pet's life, let you take your time, stroke your loved one's paw, etc.
Many veterinary hospitals are even designing their new facilities with "euthanasia rooms" that offer less harsh lighting, softer furniture and more "homey" touches...all so you can have as personal and stress-free an experience as possible in your pet's last moments.
Then there's my favorite option: The at-home euthanasia. While not all veterinary hospitals are set up to provide this service, some definitely go out of their way to make it happen should you express an interest. Since not all hospitals carry the kind of liability insurance this service requires, some veterinarians now specialize in at-home euthanasia services. These vets will drive out to wherever you are to make sure everything goes just right.
Compared to the human medical profession, veterinarians have a lot to learn when it comes to science. Nonetheless, it's my take that human docs could take a page out of our book when it comes to end of life care.
Don't forget to email me ([email protected]) the topics you'd most like to hear about––medical, money, ethical or otherwise––and prepare yourself for my opinionated answers.

I did remove it because I moved the functionality from core and to use status.xml you now need to be specifically include the projectInfo plugin in a project. Therefore no status.xml in the seeded site. However, this may be a case for actually including the plugin in a seeded site (as we do with pdf-output). The reason I extracted this functionlaity was because it was getting in the way of a legacy project here and we have another projectInfo plugin for the proprietary legacy files. But this is not a good reason for removing it from the seeded site. I have no strong opinions on whether it be included with the seeded site or not. If you do include it you will need to specify the plugin in forrest.properties as well. Ross

Return To The BoomBox Radio Podcast 9/06/08 - Medinah Starr: The Next Problematic Femcee From Philly
This show marked the last time we came on at our early afternoon time, and we decided to depart with a few surprises. With the whole crew of DJ BlacKnight, Dialekt718, John Black, Jeff Strange & Eprops in the place, probably one of the most funniest and informative interviews came from one of the legendary Boot Camp Clik members, Rock of Heltah Skeltah. Before he came through, Philly native Medinah Starr called into the show to introduce herself and talk about her label that has previous guest Access Immortal signed to it, as well as her upcoming EP and how being a self made femcee has made her success all the more better. Once the convesation ends, Da Rockness Monstah comes through and tells some funny origin stories to the crew before this first half ends. We got in several sets of music in between all of this, see some of the goodies we played for yourself:
Black Moon feat Smif N Wessun - Black Smif-N-Wessun

Two new images have been unveiled from the upcoming Stargate Worlds MMO depicting the game's armor and weaponry.
A description from the official Stargate Worlds blog:
The Stargate Worlds art team took some screenshots in the top secret
Omega Site Ruins, but we were able to sneak a couple out to show off to the fans. These two shots show a Soldier wearing Tier 4 Ablative Armor armed with the never before seen in public Tier 5 PVK Advanced
Sub-Machine Gun.
Though it's not apparent from the screenshots distinct lack of Kurt Russell or Richard Dean Anderson, Stargate Worlds is based on the vast universe of the Stargate film and television series. No release date or pricing info has yet been divulged for the MMO, most likely due to its relatively early-in-development status.

U.S. trial ends over Ecuador pollution judgment against Chevron
By Joseph Ax
NEW YORK (Reuters) - An attorney for Chevron Corp on Tuesday accused U.S. lawyer Steven Donziger of orchestrating an international criminal conspiracy by using bribery and fraud in Ecuador to secure a multibillion-dollar pollution judgment against the oil company.
"It was a scheme so audacious, so bold, that it would make even a Mafia boss blush," lawyer Randy Mastro said during his closing argument before U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who is presiding over the non-jury trial.
Lawyers for the defense said Chevron had failed to prove Donziger's involvement in any conspiracy.
"Raw accusations and allegations are not proof," said Zoe Littlepage, a lawyer for Donziger. "Steven Donziger may be a jerk. That's not a crime."
The six-week trial concerned an $18 billion judgment issued in 2011 against Chevron by Judge Nicolas Zambrano in Ecuador. The ruling was in favor of a group of villagers, who claimed Texaco had contaminated an oil field in northeastern Ecuador between 1964 and 1992. This month, Ecuador's Supreme Court cut the amount to $9.5 billion.
Chevron, which later acquired Texaco, has said Texaco remediated the site before closing operations. The company hopes a verdict from Kaplan that the judgment was based on fraud will help it defend against attempts to enforce the judgment outside Ecuador.
Kaplan will not render a decision right away; the two sides will submit post-trial briefs over the next couple of months.
During the trial, Chevron submitted reams of documents, including Donziger's private notebook. The company also called more than a dozen witnesses, including linguistics, psychology and computer experts who testified that Zambrano could not possibly have authored the judgment without assistance.

Over on Home Goes Strong, the NBC Universal website that I blog for daily, I did a slideshow last week on the best buys in February. I figured the Suddenly Frugal readers would appreciate knowing what is and isn't a great deal this month. So here's a quick recap of the 10 things you can expect to get good deals on in February, in no particular order:
- Chocolate and other Valentine's Day goodies
- Videogames
- Motorcycles
- Citrus fruit (love the clementines!)
- Digital cameras
- Bicycles
- Air conditioners (brrr!!!!)
- Gas grills
- Luggage
- MP3 Players
What kinds of steals and deals have you found are available in February?

There is no word for forgiveness in the Zuni language, a fact I discovered when I lived in the Zuni Pueblo located in western New Mexico. As a newly minted teacher, I had been hired to teach at the Towa Yallanne Elementary School—named after the sacred mountain of the Zunis. All of the children in my third grade class spoke Zuni, a language that has no close affiliation with any known language.

The disputes chief of UBS Wealth, Philippa Simmons, has been named as Lloyds Banking Group's (LBG) new head of legal disputes and contentious regulation.
An internal memo, seen by The Lawyer, was sent to legal staff on Tuesday, the day after customers of Lloyds TSB saw the bank split from its parent company in one of Britain's most high-profile banking shake-ups.
Former DLA Piper lawyer Simmons, a one-time litigation head for RBS Group's corporate markets, will become head of legal for disputes resolution and contentious regulatory for LBG's retail and wealth arm from November.
She replaces former disputes chief Aamir Khan, who left the bank in July for a general counsel role at Clutch Group (12 July 2013). The appointment ends months of speculation over who would take over from Khan after various names were thrown into the ring.
According to sources the hiring process was complicated after The Lawyer revealed that LBG was looking to outsource its retail & wealth and asset finance litigation teams to one of its panel firms (29 July 2013).
Irwin Mitchell was understood to be leading the pack, however insiders have since told The Lawyer that the process has been put on hold. The retail & wealth and asset finance litigation teams are spread across five different offices, including Hove, Chester and Edinburgh, and total around 70 staff.
LBG could not be reached for comment at the time of writing

Greens shut websites to protest Canada's pro-oil stance
By David Ljunggren
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Hundreds of environmental and activist groups in Canada shut down their websites for a day on Monday to protest Canadian government policies that will make it easier to build pipelines to transport oil from Alberta's vast tar sands.
The groups - joined by U.S.-based groups such as the Natural Resources Defense Council - say the Conservative government is also trying to silence opponents of the pipelines from the tar sands, the world's third-biggest oil reserve and the subject of much environmental concern.
The Conservatives, determined to make Canada what they call an energy superpower, want to speed up reviews of resource development projects, cut back laws that protect fish habitats, strip key veto powers from the federal energy regulator, and give the government the final say on approving major pipelines.
"Why is this all happening? Quite simply, because the oil industry wants it. (This) is Christmas come seven months early for the oil industry," said Rick Smith of Environmental Defence.
"The more a country becomes a petro-state, the less it values free speech," he told a news conference in Ottawa to launch the "Black Out Speak Out" day of action.
Green groups are particularly opposed to two planned pipelines: TransCanada Corp's Keystone XL, which would take tar sands oil to Texas; and Enbridge Inc's Northern Gateway, which would run from Alberta to the Pacific Coast. Critics say tar sands oil is particularly dirty since it requires more energy to extract than regular crude.
Ottawa says the current regulatory system is too complex and could threaten up to C$500 billion ($480 billion) of new investment in the oil and mining industries over the next decade.
Shortly after the green groups launched their campaign, 10 government ministers fanned across the country to stress the importance of natural resource development and deny charges Ottawa's moves would gut environmental protection. Continued...

Paris, Oct 27: The opposing view on burqa in addition to the proposal to include it in the national debate by France immigration Minister, Eric Besson created quite a stir on Sunday, Oct 25.
Besson said that though he was not in favor of banning the muslim religious symbol but he he made bones about calling it 'counter to national values'.
"For me no burqa's on the street," said Besson on LCI televison
The controversial statement was made in the 'national debate' on French national identity. Besson's statement came close after President Nicholas Sarkozy's similar opinion about burqa being a form of imprisonment for women. Earlier Sarkozy had suggested a two and half month long debate on the theme "what does it mean to be French?" at the backdrop of reaffirming national values and pride in being French.
The President's and his Immigration Minister's opposing stand on the veil issue has found a strong protest from head of France largest Muslim body, Mohammed Moussaoui who said that burqa signifies entry in to radical Islam so having a debate on the possible exclusion of it is hurting the religious sentiments of the Muslim community with Islam being the second largest religion in France.

Dr. Alicia Omaña dedicated many years of her career to the study of the biochemistry of oils extracted from plants, flowers, leaves and roots. Through a miraculous and divine path, she finally has launched her fine lines of superb quality essential oils:
Omaña Essential Oils - SPIRITUAL LINE: During biblical times essential oils were inhaled, applied directly to the skin, and ingested in which provided a physical, spiritual, emotional and mental benefit. In Psalm 51:7 David wrote: "Purge me with Hyssop and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow". During this time, it was cleared that using essential oils will give physical healing, wellness and enhancement to their spiritual time during worship, prayer, purification, confession and anointing. There are twelve Holy Biblical oils found in the scriptures. Dr. Omaña uses only the oils that are pure therapeutic grade essential oils.
Omaña Essential Oils - GENERAL LINE: the intent of these oils is to bring a therapeutic effect that aid physical and emotional conditions most commonly present in your life. The focus is more on the healing effort rather than in the aroma, although the aroma will bring desirable results when you use it.
The following are few examples of Omaña Essential oils, but not limited:
Omaña Essential Oils - CUSTOM FORMULATED LINE: What it makes Omaña Essential Oils Different from others is the exclusive custom formulation. Dr. Omaña will formulate the precise essential oil according to your health imbalances and own chemistry to bring you into a marvelous state level of wellness, equilibrium (balance), harmony and energy. You deserve to live with well-being, success and opulence. Just let us know about your health complains to order your very own personalized Omaña Essential Oil.
What makes Omaña Essential Oils different from others? The purity and organic nature provide a unique effectiveness and efficacy which is the trait of Dr. Omaña Essential Oils, Td.
What is an essential oil? It is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile aroma compounds from plants obtained by several methods.
Distillation is the most common method for isolation of essential oils, but other processes such as maceration, solvent extraction, and mechanical pressing are used for certain products. Younger plants produce more oil than older ones, but old plants are richer in more resinous and darker oils because of the continuing evaporation of the lighter fractions of the oil.
The oils are stored as micro-droplets in glands of plants. After diffusing through the walls of the glands, the droplets spread over the surface of the plant before evaporating and filling the air with perfume. The most odoriferous plants are found in the tropics, where solar energy is greatest.
Aromatic plants, herbs, flowers and oils have been used as perfume, incense, culinary and medicinal purposes for thousands of years by many cultures. The first records of essential oils come from ancient India, Persia, and Egypt; and both Greece and Rome conducted extensive trade in odoriferous oils and ointments with the countries of the Orient. Most probably these products were extracts prepared by placing flowers, roots, and leaves in fatty oils. In most ancient cultures, odorous plants or their resinous products were used directly. Only with the coming of the golden age of Arab culture was a technique developed for the distillation of essential oils. The Arabs were the first to distill ethyl alcohol from fermented sugar, thus providing a new solvent for the extraction of essential oils in place of the fatty oils that had probably been used for several millennia.
The knowledge of distillation spread to Europe during the Middle Ages, and isolation of essential oils by distillation was described during the 11th to 13th centuries. These distilled products became a specialty of the European medieval pharmacies, and by about 1500 the following products had been introduced: oils of cedar wood, calamus, costus, rose, rosemary, spike, incense, turpentine, sage, cinnamon, benzoin, and myrrh. The alchemical theories of the Swiss physician and alchemist Paracelsus played a role in stimulating physicians and pharmacists to seek essential oils from aromatic leaves, woods, and roots.
Starting from the time of Marco Polo, the much-prized spices of India, China, and the Indies served as the impetus for European trade with the Orient. Quite naturally, such spices as cardamom, sage, cinnamon, and nutmeg were subjected to the pharmacists' stills. By the middle of the 18th century in Europe about 100 essential oils had been introduced, although there was little understanding about the nature of the products. As chemical knowledge expanded in the late 1800s and early 1900s, many well-known chemists took part in the chemical characterization of essential oils.
In the United States, oils of turpentine and peppermint were produced before 1800; within the next several decades oils of four indigenous American plants became important commercially—namely, sassafras, wormwood, wintergreen, and sweet birch. Since 1800 many essential oils have been prepared, but only a few have attained commercial significance.
How it works? Essential oils are thought to have therapeutic properties when they are absorbed into the body (and eventually, the bloodstream) by inhalation or through direct contact with the skin. Inhaled molecules of these extracts stimulate the olfactory nerve sending messages to the brain's limbic system and influencing hormones, metabolism, physical, emotional, and spiritual health and balance.
How to use Omaña Essential Oils? Apply in areas of greater absorption such as behind the ears, wrists, inner parts of arms and legs. Inhale after rubbing few drops gently on your hands. If pregnant or children consult with your Naturopath Doctor. Use them ONLY externally.

105 Health and Human Development BuildingThe Pennsylvania State UniversityUniversity Park PA 16802
I am a developmental scientist whose research is focused on infant and early child development. I have had a long-standing interest in socio-emotional development in early childhood (e.g., quality of attachment to parents), parenting competence and parenting at risk, how parenting is affected by parental mental health and contextual factors, and how parenting affects infant and child functioning. All of my current projects examine the joint, interactive effects of biological/medical and environmental/parenting factors on child development and parenting during the early years of life. All of them are interdisciplinary and involve graduate and undergraduate students, and my students draw from the project they work on in developing their own areas of expertise. It is important to me that students working with me develop into productive scholars in their own fields of expertise, and thus my students are actively involved in all phases of research, from data collection and coding and data analysis, to being co-authors and lead authors on presentations and peer-reviewed papers.
I am principal investigator of the following active projects at present:
1) Project SIESTA
Project SIESTA (Study of Infants' Emergent Sleep Trajectories) draws from previous research demonstrating linkages between sleep disruption in childhood and developmental delays in cognitive development and behavior problems in children. Although these linkages are well-established for children in the preschool years and beyond, very few studies have examined these links in infancy, nor are the reasons for these relations well-understood. Project SIESTA is a longitudinal study of (1) linkages between infant sleep quality during the first two years and infant socioemotional development (e.g., quality of infant-parent attachments, infant behavior problems and behavioral competencies); (2) how parenting of infants at bedtime and night time (from video-recordings), beginning at1 month of age through 24 months, affects the development of infant sleep quality over time; (3) the intersection of parenting practices, parenting quality, and infant sleep in predicting infant developmental outcomes and stress reactivity (diurnal cortisol activity) across the first two years of life. Project SIESTA also examines how parental behavior at bedtime and night time predicts infant functioning during the day. SIESTA is funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Project SIESTA has several co-investigators from Penn State's departments of HDFS (Cindy Stifter, Mike Rovine) and Psychology (Pamela Cole), Hershey Medical Center's Department of Pediatrics (Ian Paul), and one investigator from the University of California, David (Thomas Anders).
2) Project SIESTA-K (Study InvEstigating Sleep TrAjectories in Kindergarten) The transition to kindergarten is one of the most impactful transitions in the life of a young child, requiring new social, emotional, and cognitive competencies across a variety of domains and an emphasis on formal instruction and evaluation never experienced before. For many children in full-time kindergarten, kindergarten now functions as the new first grade, and the social and academic competencies observed during this time set the stage for later school success. Unfortunately, although many children make successful transitions to school, some do not. School adjustment is multi-faceted and, not surprisingly, multiply determined. However, one particular determinant, child sleep, is largely understudied as a predictor of early school success, despite growing evidence that sleep problems in children and adults predict externalizing and internalizing behavior problems, emotion dysregulation, sleepiness, and attentional difficulties during daytime hours. Project SIESTA-K draws upon work by the PI and others in his investigative team and focuses on the unique role of sleep in young children in predicting children's adjustment across the kindergarten year, and the role of parenting in shaping good sleep habits in young children during this transition. We make use of an innovative measurement-burst design to assess child sleep (quality, duration, and lability), parenting, and coparenting and personal distress as predictors of child sleep characteristics, with assessments obtained before kindergarten begins (pre-K), early in the transition year (late September-early October), mid-transition (November), and late-transition (April). Children's learning engagement, academic progress, socio-emotional functioning, executive functioning, and literacy skills are assessed at early-, mid-, and late-transition timepoints. Analyses focus on trajectories of child sleep as predictors of school adjustment, and parenting and couple distress as predictors of child sleep across the kindergarten year. This research will provide an important foundation for understanding the role of children's sleep in predicting children's transition to K across the full year of school, and the role of parenting and parental distress in shaping children's sleep during this pivotal time.
3) Families-at-Risk Research Initiative
I am also affiliated with an interdisciplinary research initiative sponsored by Penn State's Child Study Center. I am Lead Faculty of the Families at Risk research initiative, which brings together a working group of faculty across Penn State interested in factors that influence family processes (parenting, marital relations and coparenting, sibling relations) and family well-being, and in turn how these processes affect and are affected by children's development.

In the depths
He didn't understand why the act of violence did little to comfort him. Why he was still so tormented by his own demons, the self doubt, insecurities, the constant drumbeat in his head asking questions he couldn't answer.
He'd been sure pulling the trigger would end the story but he overlooked the fact that for all her flaws Mary had been kind to him too, he'd overlooked the travesty that was murdering a woman who was already near death from cancer.
The realization that the true object of his affections, the one he'd wanted at the end of the deceit hated the very ground he walked on and begrudged him the air he breathed. He told himself he didn't care that she hated him...
The question that dogged his thoughts now though was had she ever loved him, was she who he knew in his heart he needed her to be, would he ever know.
Would they meet one day at Trudeau airport, would she smile through teary eyes and all be forgiven, would he hold her as he'd longed for so long to.
No, that part of the story wasn't meant to be and if she ever were to see him at Trudeau the simple fact that she would spit in his face for all of the pain his cheating, miserable rotten heart had caused.
His breathing as the asthma attack gripped him became too hard, the depth of the wasted time, the coldness where his once warm heart was all crashed down around him.
Once he'd seen his future in her smile then he'd taken that smile away, his violence had cut her deeply, she'd never smile for him again.

Anyone - A dawn sonnet
Oh Dawn, thou turn'st the sky a ruddy red
And rousest me from my so comfy bed.
I pull the covers up to ban thy light,
But thou wilt have dominion o'er the night.
I wriggle deeper; still thy tendrils lurk.
Begone! I do not wish to go to work.
Cannot I have but one more moment's sway?
It's here in warmest comfort I would stay.
Thou wrestest from me my own right to choose.
I will emerge, but only to hit "snooze."
I can but hope thy willpow'r will decrease,
That thou mightst leave me in my fluffy fleece.
Thou foulest waker, not to be denied.
But hark, what trumpet sounds? Must be my ride.

BT eliminates major data centre migration risk for CEVA Logistics
Building a platform for the future
Keen to consolidate its global data centres, CEVA Logistics first had to do some homework. That included relocating a disaster recovery data centre facility from third-party premises to a safer BT-owned site, both in the Netherlands.
Garry May, vice president of data centre management, hoped for a happy and healthy transition. So he engaged a professional services team from BT. They planned and de-risked the work – then flawlessly executed it over a single weekend with zero business impact. Garry got a perfect move while the company got the platform it needs for future expansion.
BT services are a lifeline for our business and the key to our future success. BT adapts seamlessly to our changing needs and never penalises us for things outside the norm. That shows the strength of our partnership."

I guess I'm writing this today not to get an answer [but I mean if you have one, I'm all ears...] but hopefully to relate to some of you who struggle with this too. To know that it's okay that not everything is cut and dry. That it's okay we don't always understand our own thoughts, desires and dreams. That even if we never get to that seemingly impossible point, we are living up the highs, learning from the lows, praying through the confusion, toasting to the accomplishments and laughing through the WTFs. Oh life, you are confusing to me but I sure do love the heck out of you. To whatever is next...

This is my favorite post of yours. This is completely relatable and I've been through this as well. It's confusing and frustrating and like you said makes me a little envious of people that find their calling so naturally!ReplyDelete
I have that feeling every day! And I'm constantly comparing myself to others and totally jealous of things they're doing or talents they have! Recently I joined a business as a "side gig" and am loving what it is doing for my feeling of purpose! I'm happy to share more information with you if you'd like!! It has helped me for sure!ReplyDelete
Agreed. I do love and enjoy my life - but I'm really waiting right now (and had an emotional catharsis this morning) for some financial freedom. To not always need that next paycheck. To not see the money go out as soon as it comes in. To live the life I really want without worrying about its cost. Sounds nice, right?ReplyDelete
And yes, team #NObaby.
Girl!! You are preaching to the choir! Beginning around the first of the year, I too started to feel this way. And while I don't quite have my "plan" all laid out, I've got a direction now and thats something right? Sending good, clarification vibes your way! Til then keep sipping those cactus lime ultras on the boat! Those are my favorite at the lake ;)ReplyDelete
What size tee are you wearing? Wondering if I should size down.ReplyDeleteReplies
I am wearing a medium! I could have done a small as its a little big! Hope that helps!Delete
They're usually pretty true to size, but we do have a size chart on the listing just in case. The heather gray will always be flowy-er than the others because it has just a bit more cotton in it. :)Delete
I ordered the other day, just waiting for it to arrive. Can't wait! Thank you both!Delete
I don't think anyone ever has it completely figured out. I thought I wanted to career I'm in...the promotion I got last fall...and now I find myself thinking about a completely different career path. These days we have so many more options than our parents or grandparents. We grew up hearing we could do anything and have it all, and now we have the tech to make most of it happen so its hard to pick one thing and stick with it. I think its important to try and find peace and contentment where you are...but there isn't anything wrong with thinking about other opportunities as well.ReplyDelete
here's the thing. i work a 40 hr/week full time job and i feel the exact same way. I went to college, got a degree, and I am not working in my field of study. I am almost 29, married, with no kids. it seems like life continues to move on around me while i almost feel as if i am standing still. Maybe your right, maybe there are too many "I"'s in what we are saying. is my job really that bad? no, my job has been actually a great fit for my current lifestyle. is my life stagnant while others continue to move on? no. i have basically fallen into the "what if's" and i am guilty of comparison. i am always doing new things, building relationships, and moving forward in my life. all in all, i think that i have learned from past experiences that when i do focus on my contentment in the now, other doors open along the way that provides new exciting experiences. Basically...i have no advice, but i am going through the same, shall we call them, "transitions". i have come to a conclusion of praying for direction and looking for the "happy" in each day.ReplyDelete
to whatever is next... :) -a fellow Erin.
LOVE everything about this post! Perfectly said for how I'm feeling about life right now. Except we joined team baby. Our little bundle is going on 7 months. Definitely finding myself trying to be "super mom". My husband is great & is a huge help, but I feel like I need to work less hours to spend more time with little one & get more things done at home. I for sure go back & forth between Do I go back to school? or just stay at my job now? oh the joys of adult life!ReplyDelete
LOVE everything about this post!! Most definitely sums up exactly how I'm feeling about life right now. So reassuring to know that there are other people out there that feel the same way:)ReplyDelete
This resonates so much. I'm currently in a two year teaching commitment, but after that I'm all like - what am I supposed to do next??? I've tried the 40 hour a week job, but I feel like I miss out on so much living. But how would I make ends meet without one? Or what would I find fulfilling? Life is hard to figure out but it's sure beautiful. :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's always great to feel like you aren't alone.ReplyDelete
I don't think anyone has it all figured out even if it appears that they do. I often go through these sorts of phases as well, and I try to remember something my dad once said to me several years ago when I was talking to him about it all. He said, "I'm 58 years old, and I *still* don't know what I want to do when I grow up." His point was that you don't have to have it figured out. There's not a set course that you need to take or a particular age at which you need to accomplish certain things in life, and there probably never will be. But at some point, you get used to that and just start enjoying wherever life takes you in that moment. At the end of the day, the goal is to be happy, and if that's not how you're feeling, then it's time for another change. Sure, there are uncertainties that come with that, but that's all part of life.ReplyDelete
Ahhh...we've all been there and back again. I was there some years ago that moment had me applying to nursing school! Best decision of my life. I managed full time nursing school, full time mommy to two boys, wife, and a full time job starting at 37 years old. Sounds absolutely insane thinking back, but so thankful I took the chance. So, I say go with your gut!ReplyDelete
I think we NEVER really know what we're doing. Even those who've got it "figured out" still don't know. Do what feels right in your heart. That's all you can do.ReplyDelete
ps... loooove you in our tee!!
Uh. I am totally working a 40 hour/week job (more like 45-50) and 3 years post college graduation I cannot imagine doing what I do till I retire. Then my brain says don't you remember how hard you worked in college!?!? But then I try to imagine having a kids and doing what I'm doing. Not that I am ready to have kids... but when would I see them? NO WAY I could be a stay at home mom. So what do I do?? I have no idea. But just keep saving money and hopefully I'll figure it out.ReplyDelete
This post really hit home for me. Since moving to the Chicago area a few months I really can't seem to figure out what direction my life is going in. Should I get a job? But it's really nice to be able to do whatever I want...when I want. What about a fun, part-time job? But then there's a schedule to deal with and maybe I want a career?! So confusing!ReplyDelete
For me, I try to focus on the fact that's it's a nice problem to have. I have a supportive hubby and don't have to be forced into doing something that isn't ideal. Maybe try that, and just know you're not alone with these feelings. :)

Love this post! The struggle is real. Every. Day. I'm in my forty's and have 3 kids. I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up. Follow your heart and trust your gut.ReplyDelete
Yassss. My struggle for the last few years. I'm 27, married, no kids. I've worked in several industries and currently work in human services for the county. Finally using my degree. But I don't love it. I want to open a tea shop, but like you, that sounds expensive. I want to be a mom, but I'm just not quite ready. So I think I'll truck along until that point and try to check smaller things off my list in the meantime. Glad to hear someone else is in the same boat. Let's keep on floating!ReplyDelete
So funny because I have always thought you have all your ish together and I've been so jealous of you! I have 2 kids and feel like my life is just crazy and insane and I don't know what I'm going to do with my life when they both are in school. Good post.ReplyDelete
Glad to know I'm not the only one!!! I knew there were more people like me out there! I've been trying to redo my office, currently a storage dump, for a couple of years now. I've purchased a lot of "stuff" for it and just can't seem to ever find any time to do it or I'm just not "in the mood". I also constantly question "Do I want a new job where I am of the house a little more, but then I'd have to actually get totally ready. What about this house? It's way too big for just the 3 of us now. Should I sale or invest in making it what I want it to be? Why would I redo my office if we're going to sale it? And circle back to I REALLY need to redo my office"ReplyDelete

I think this is just something about life...for most of it, you just feel like you don't have it figured out. Everytime you start to think you do, something changes. You switch jobs, find a new interest, have a career, make a new friend, learn something about yourself...and suddenly everything that felt rest yesterday, no longer feels right. Hang in there, keep searching and growing...until you everything clicks again. And enjoy, because again, the only thing constant is change itself!ReplyDelete
Hi, are you in my brain?? This is my life lately! I like my job...or do I? I loved blogging (with all my 40ish followers lol), but just can't always find the time while working a "real" job and trying to have a life. Would love to make a switch, but...to what?! And I'm the same way - one day I want to be in marketing, then I want to pet all the animals while drinking margaritas in between trips to Italy. How??? When?? Why?? Where??? Ugh. The struggle. Glad all of you can relate!!ReplyDelete
Its like you are in my head. Glad to hear I'm not the only one.ReplyDelete
Love this post Erin! This is me all.the.time. I'm 36 with two kids and a hubby. We just moved so now I feel like I'm at this point where I could make a change with my job, but do I? Do I focus more on that or more on my family...but they are getting older so what the heck would I do after they leave the house (like they are supposed to!)?! Ugh. It's tough feeling like you are supposed to have it all figured out all the time, but I feel better knowing that even those who look like they have it all figured out are just like the rest of us...and probably think they don't. Thank you for saying it out loud.ReplyDelete
Oh so relatable! I went to school for nursing, spent 5 years working my butt off towards that degree, and have now been spending the first year+ of my nursing career completing questioning everything I want to do in life. I made that decision to be a nurse when I was 18!! I mean geez, I didn't know about life at that point lol I have since considered sooOOOooo many other options and I think the important thing to remember is that we're lucky that we HAVE options. Sure it's stressful, but girl...you have so many great options for life! It will work out in the end and when it does, you will be so incredibly fulfilled and grateful that you stuck it out through this confusing time. XOXOReplyDelete
This is so my life story. Before I had my current very career-like job, I figured I'd feel more like I knew what I was doing with my life once I had a career-like job. Well, now I have that career-like job, and, nope, still no idea. I recently found out that I may be losing my job (I teach at a university and our enrollment is dropping), and I'm simultaneously elated that this means I might be able to change things up and do something different (like work at a fancy wine shop! or bakery and smell bread all day!) and terrified that I'm going to end up in a cardboard box!ReplyDelete
Thank you for this post, I can very much relate. I'm on my 2nd career , why not keep going to school, right😜 I did the stay at home mom thing for 7 years then eased my way into full time work again. As much as I love teaching , I've always wanted to be a party planner, own a cupcake shop or repurpose items and be crafty all day. I have 2 more kids to put through college and 3 weddings I'll have to help pay for so I continue on. You are very talented and I envy your talents. We all have our gifts, it's figuring out the best way to use them.ReplyDelete
Wow are you in my head? I am 47 and I still haven't figured out what I want to be when I grow up. I put myself through college and grad school working average office jobs, but then what? I've travelled on a dime through Europe. I've had up and downs. I became an ESL teacher with the NYC Public School system for six years until I had my son at 37. Now...I don't know what to do next. I think about going back to school but is it worth it? By the time I finish I will be in my 50s and I must admit I don't have the energy and stamina I once had. Then I think I'll just go work part-time at Teavana and drink tea all day - but then I don't really want to work nights and weekends.ReplyDelete
I have ADhD so part of it is that. So it's nice to know there are others out there with the same problems and thoughts. One problem is that our society puts too much importance on having a career and certain lifestyle over having a personality and opinion - and we tend to undervalue the creative or artistic lifestyle.
I think I need a life coach. But one thing for sure, I will never regret anything the good, the bad, the ugly, the happy and the sad: I have lived my life the best I could, my way.
This post is so relatable...even to a woman who's a year away from turning 40. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids (I'm a daycare provider) but there are days where I think it would be so much easier to work outside of the home in a job where I can leave the work behind and go home to my sanctuary. To work a job that if I'm sick, I can easily call out and not feel complete guilt that 3-6 other people than have to figure things out too. But then again, I get to love on kids, I get to be home and pretty much stay in pj/sweats all day if I want to. I get to to be with my pups all day and my hubby walks home from his school a half block away for lunch. I can do laundry while I'm working and get other stuff done around my house when I get them down for a nap (at least sometimes), so the pros tend to out way the cons. :)ReplyDelete
How tall are you? I thought when I was young I would be a professional business woman, but life is funny. I am the total opposite. I'm a stay at home mom with three kids. I have learned to appreciate the fact that I was able to raise my kids, be a involved at school, teach a religion class and form a relationship with my kids to the point that they actually like hanging with me, weird. Embrace your present life as it is, what the future brings is an unknown.ReplyDelete
Girl, I think most of us can definitely relate to this. I actually have a fun, creative job but still sit at a desk most of the day. I really like what I do but still daydream about doing something else :) Good luck to you!! The home decor shop sounds like an adventure!ReplyDelete
Never has a post resonated with me so much. While I'm only a year into my post-grad life, I feel the same way as you. Throughout college, I thought the life I've dreamed of was right around the corner. Well, I've turned corner after corner and I'm still searching. Someday, with hard work and some risk-taking, we'll find what we're meant to do.ReplyDelete
This is like reading my own thoughts! I'm going these thought processes at the moment and it's exhausting! It's good to know that others haven't got it all figured out yet. Thank you Erin xReplyDelete
Even though you are soul-searching right now (as you probably will forever- sorry!), you have a knack for writing in a very honest and hilarious manner. I actually laugh out loud at some of your very amusing posts. No matter what you decide to do with your life, keep your sense of humor! By the way, I am 50 something years old, have worked the 9 to 5, the midnight to 8, and have now owned my own business for 30 years. Keep trying new things (but keep your delightful blog)!!ReplyDelete
I read and appreciate every one of your comments. Thanks for stopping by my space and sharing a piece of yourself on this huge ole internet. I meant that in the least creepy way possible. I'm just good at making everything awkward. Anyhow, thank you for your comments. They make me smile :)

Based on the single vineyard philosophy of winemaking, Craggy Range was the first in the Southern Hemisphere to specialise in the production of single vineyard wines from the most prestigious winegrowing regions across New Zealand including Martinborough, Hawke's Bay and Marlborough.
Headed by Chief Winemaker Matt Stafford, awarded the Air New Zealand Young Winemaker of the Year Award in 2007, the reputation of Craggy Range's wine portfolio is synonymous with quality and attention to detail. The winery has received a number of internationally recognised awards including Wine Enthusiast Wine Star Awards - New World Winery of the Year in 2014. It was also awarded the most popular New Zealand Wine by US Wine & Spirits Magazine.
Le sol translated from French means 'the soil', appropriate when one considers the significant impact the stony soils of our Gimblett Gravels Vineyard have on our wine called "Le Sol". They keep the growth and crop of these old clone Syrah vines in check and provide warmth in the autumn, all critical factors in developing the enormous character and presence this wine has. Traditionally made, heady aromas, luscious yet classical texture. "Le Sol" is all at once luscious, elegant and exuberant – and in a very short time it has shown the breeding of Syrah in the Gimblett Gravels.
From an outstanding vintage this 100% Syrah from their Gimblett Gravels vineyard is formidable and completely delicious, combining fruit power and stylish elegance. Aromas of Black Doris plum, mixed spice, cedar, black olive and floral on the nose. It is concentrated and dense, yet silky and flowing, offering impressive fruit richness and texture, leading to an extremely long finish. The wine is firmly structured by sturdy tannins, ensuring its gradual development. Rating: 99 Points; Sam Kim; Wine Orbit
Deeply scented Syrah with plum, dark berry, chocolate, liquorice, coffee, mocha, black pepper and subtle violet flavours. A vibrant, high energy wine that's delicious to drink now but promises to deliver much more with bottle age. Rating: 5 Stars, 97 Points; Bob Campbell MW
the palate exudes refinement, possessing a tight core of sweetly ripe black berried and plum fruits with liquorice and subtly integrated notes of black pepper and Asian spices. This has a very fine-grained and tightly concentrated core, and the wine flows seamlessly with satiny tannins and lacy, underlying acidity providing gentle tension and drive. As the wine flows, waves of violet florals and exotic spices emerge and are carried to a very long and sustained finish of fine, flowery textures and sweet black fruits and spices. This is a beautifully elegant, seamlessly refined, rich Syrah with a sweetly concentrated core and layers of fine spice and exotic detail. Rating: 19.5/20; Raymond Chan Wine Reviews
Tight, intense, coiled Syrah. Pepper and woodsmoke to the gills and boasting an appropriate complement of concentrated black cherried fruit too. Nutty. Smoky. Bold, particularly in a regional context. A wide, dominating sweep of tannin. This is a wine with a 1000 mile stare; it has the long term on its mind. It's not hard to be enamoured. Rating: 95+ Points, Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front. Rating: 5 Stars, 97 Points; Bob Campbell MW
