Stuck at a Career Fork in the Road – Now What?
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure page for more info.
The following is a contribution from my good blogging friend, Tonya, from Budget and the Beach. If you're interested in contributing to Frugal Rules please see our guidelines and contact us.
I have bi-polar disorder…career bi-polar disorder (CBPD).
I wake up in the morning and spring out of bed, excited to get over to my computer and start interacting with the PF and healthy lifestyle communities related to my blogs Budget and the Beach, and Healthy, Fit, and Frugal (respectively).
I start to get ideas of things I want to write about, and when I begin writing, the words just flow from my brain to the computer screen. I'm loving life, and then…
…I get an email from my producer who I work with on 99% of my current projects. He has changes that he needs me to do NOW, because our main client (a major medical/beauty corporation) has changes on a project that they should have signed off on weeks ago. Never mind the fact that I'm not officially booked for this time…they just basically assume I work for them full time even though I don't. I sink into a depression, and I feel that angry fireball ignite in my stomach. The one that sends the message to my brain, "you really need to stop working for this producer and client." The words I often use are "soul-sucking."
I've been video editing for literally just over 25 years. I started when I was a senior in high school in 1988 when I took a television production class. Back then you had to use big, expensive machines that weren't portable to do the kind of work anyone can pretty much do on a laptop nowadays. If I'd known that then, I would have chosen to make video-making a hobby, not a career.
It hasn't always been that bad though. In fact, I really enjoyed my eight years as lead video editor at a video game company before I was laid off in 2008. But the perks outweighed the satisfaction I was actually getting from the projects I worked on, which were just kind of meh.
I had an amazing boss who is still my good friend and like a father figure to me, a great paycheck, a totally bitchin, huge office, and many other perks like the office being close to where I lived in Los Angeles. That last part is huge! I also had more knowledgeable people to help me fix technical problems when they arose, something I've always hated and have never been very good with.
To not make this a 3,000-word post, I'll just get straight to the point, and share what I need help with.
While it's true that the producer I work with and this particular client kind of make my life hell, it's grossly exacerbated by the fact that I just don't enjoy video editing as a living anymore. I just want THAT to be my side hobby where I can make silly little videos on my own time.
The problem is it's my main source of income.
I never want to complain for the sake of complaining. I've always been a person to take action, and I took action a year ago when I started working on side hustle income, especially trying to "make it" as a blogger. While I'm so proud of how far I've come, earning 10k in side income last year (a lot also came from being a personal assistant and teaching beach volleyball), I simply can't live on that kind of money, especially in Los Angeles.
And believe me, I spend as much time as humanly possible (without turning into Howard Hughes) working towards making a full time living from blogging/writing, but it still doesn't feel like enough, and the video work is probably the biggest sore point in my life right now. I don't even care that I'm not dating (and haven't been for awhile). I'd much rather sort this job thing out first.
So I'm not exactly sure what to do?
Do I keep doing what I'm doing and hope that eventually the side hustle income will pick up to a point where I can live solely off that?
I would be open to looking for full-time or part-time jobs in something social media or writing-related, but do I have enough experience? What exactly do you look for in job searches? What am I really qualified to do?
I think one thing that makes these decisions even tougher is that I'm FINALLY on a decent path financially, meaning the freelance income overall I brought in last year was an OK amount to live on here in LA, and I was able to put money towards retirement. I'd like the same thing to happen this year, since I'm a little behind where I should be for my age. The reason I say this is because I have had some people in the past suggest I just quit the video part of my freelance work and work at Starbucks. That's not going to happen.
I'm not above working at Starbucks, or waiting tables, or cleaning toilets if I HAD to, but to quit jobs making $65 and above per hour versus $12…kind of a no-brainer.
So I would really love your opinion on what to do about my fork in the road. OK, actually I'm a bit scared to get your opinion, but maybe I do need a reality check. I'm just trying to make my life the best it can be! 🙂
Editor's note: I want to thank Tonya for sharing her thoughts and feelings with us, as well as for being transparent about what she's going through. As I've shared in my Taking the Plunge series, I can certainly relate to a lot of what she shares and know the difficulty it can present. As I shared with her, my encouragement is to look for ways to use her skills to broaden the services she can offer to clients – especially those not related to video editing. In addition to that, I would also encourage Tonya to work to gain more video editing clients so she can begin to push back on this current client – though I know how that is truly easier said than done at times :-). Pushy clients are never fun, so it certainly makes life a little more palatable for those of us who are self-employed. 🙂

Ravioli with Yellow Split Pea Sauce
Be the first to review
READY IN: 1hr 15mins
Recipe by sugarpea
My favorite way to use yellow split peas and it's low-fat compared to most ravioli dishes. If you're tired of tomato sauce, give this a try. This ravioli makes a company-worthy presentation. Use a mild cheese-filled pasta and a blender to smooth the sauce if possible.

- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 4 cups baby spinach leaves, rinsed (about 1/4 pound)
- 1⁄2 cup cherry tomatoes, rinsed and halved
- 1⁄2 teaspoon turmeric
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
Directions See How It's Made
- Bring broth and peas to a boil in a saucepan; cover, reduce heat and simmer 50 minutes or until peas fall apart.
- Boil pasta in water until tender; drain.
- Pour peas into blender or food processor and blend until smooth; use a towel to cover hot liquid in blender, never cover hot liquid tightly and blend.
- Remove stems from chilies and shake out seeds; discard stems and seeds; in a saucepan add chilies, oil, garlic and cumin; saute 1 minute over medium heat until garlic is lightly browned.
- Add peas, spinach, tomatoes and turmeric to chili mixture; stir just until steaming.

What is that white lady doing with that handful of ginseng roots and bonito flakes?
There are several herbs used as supplements that fall under the term ginseng, though the most common is Panax ginseng.
He replied that he resided on the French Broad, and was a dealer in ginseng.
ginseng at that time was plenty, and commanded a high price.
ginseng is popularly supposed to be an invigorant, and Japanese doctors in Korea have lately declared that it has some value.
It has been asked why the Chinese do not grow their own ginseng.
If it had not been for ginseng in Minnesota, many of the pioneers would have gone hungry.
No plant with which I am acquainted grows as slowly as ginseng.
I will come back and put away all the things and tomorrow I will bring your ginseng money.
It is the environment he seeks — the ginseng is then already found.
1690s, from Chinese jen-shen. First element means "man," but the meaning of the second is obscure.

New Orleans Treatment of Guns n' Roses Classic
Subscribe to 105.7 The Hawk on
Here's something that you don't hear very often.
Guns n' Roses "Sweet Child O' Mine" as it would sound in 1920's New Orleans.
It's part of the album Twist is the New Twerk by Scott Bradlee & Postmodern Jukebox, which offers 17 alternative works of more modern songs.
From the bluesmag.com:
Their version of GnR's Sweet Child O'Mine features guest vocalist Miche Braden. Pianist Bradlee explains: "She returned to help us show what it would have sounded like if Bessie Smith had recorded it back in the 20s.
While I can appreciate the musicians, especially this powerful singer, I think I'll take the old version, thank you.
What do you think?

Disseminating the teaching of Islam or doing dakwah activities was initiated by the department since Jamiyah founded in 1932. The activity was not tailored only to the Muslim community, but extends to various races and religions.
The activities were expanded through three ways: a speech or lecture, writing or publishing and walk the talk to be a good example. With the said activities, a lot of non-Muslim citizens have come to understand Islam.
In the field of dakwah through speeches, for example, many talk lectures, forums, debates and discussion were organized from time to time. The activities have been achieved not only by scientists or muballig of the country, but also from abroad as well.
In the era of "Young Blood" under led by Hajji Abu Bakar Maidin, who began taking over the leadership of Jamiyah in 30 May 1970, these activities have been enhanced and received satisfying response.
Several mosques become the main focus of the talk, so it was with a two-storey building of Jamiyah, in the fields and others. It was unexpected and very good response.
The presence of people to venues of lectures, causing anxiety and confusion of the organisers, because many of the audience fainted due to the crowded due to eagerness to follow the lectures delivered.
At Masjid Aminah and open space next to it, for example, which can accommodate 2-3 thousand audiences, have been attended by around 5-6 thousand fans, as a result, many of them fainted. Similarly, when the ceremony was held at Jamiyah building and Sultan mosque.The culmination of this dakwah activity was when organising the International Prophet's birthday celebration at the national stadium on 2nd February 1981. More than 100 bodies from various streams of Islam participated in the parade which was held in the Stadium.The response of the talk at 2.00pm to 10pm was attended by about 45.000 people. While about 10,000 of them participated in the congregational Maghrib prayer at the National Stadium.Dakwah Department is also expanding its activities by inviting non-Muslim leaders in Singapore to convey their views on Islam in the celebration of Mawlid gatherings. Among of them is the President of Singapore, Dr. Benjamin Shears.
He received the invitation from Jamiyah to become "Guest of Honour" in the International Jamiyah's event of Prophet Muhammad's Birthday for four consecutive years from 1971 to 1974.
Speeches delivered in the event focused on the urgency of harmony among different races and religious communities in this country; Christian, Hindu, Taoist, Buddhist and others.Previously, the first President of Singapore, Mr. Yusoff Ishak, was also invited as a Guest of Honour at the same ceremony. It was simply held at Al Malik Faisal Hall but meaningful to the development of Jamiyah dakwah activities.
Seeing the activities Jamiyah get growing, so new efforts to expand the cultivated area, by establishing regional dakwah activities. This activity is to send the Singapore's scholars (muballig), including Jamiyah officials to neighboring countries, like Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam and Indonesia.
Prophet Birthday celebrations, in fact, be one of the annual's Dakwah Department activities. Similarly, the glory days of Islam, such as Awal Muharram, Israk Mikraj, Nuzulul Al Quran and others.The lecturers from Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia who have been invited to deliver their talks are:
Prof. K.H. Anwar Musaddad, K.H. Abdullah Syaf'i, K.H. Ahmad Syaikhu, Habib Sheikh Al Jufri, K.H. Syukran Makmun, Dr. Hajah Tutty Alawiyah, Ibu Hajah Aisyah Dachlan, Dra. Hajah Suriani Tahir, Ibu Hajah Thaha Maaruf, Ustaz Hassan Din, Tan Sri Abdul Jalil Hassan, Ustaz Hairussani Haji Zakaria, Dato Haji Abdul Kadir Talib and Ustazah Habsah Senin.
In conjunction with the celebration, dakwah through writings also take parts such as publishing various publications, magazines e.g. Jamiyah Voice of Islam magazine, calendar and brochures in different languages.
With these activities and also projecting the values of Islam, three factors gathered message of Islam which became the source of the initiatives to this department: Dakwah by speech, writing or publication and the act that constitutes the main pillar and the identity of all Muslims to be further expanded.
In such parade activities in conjunction with the prophet birthday held annually, it might be said held each year. Normally, the parade starts from Sultan Mosque or Aljunied Islamic School to Jamiyah Building Lorong 12.
Many regional Muslim leaders and scholars have been invited to discuss various issues to promote and develop Islamic dakwah in the region. Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al Haj, the Prime Minister of Malaysia was the Guest of Honour.
The department has also organized a seminar on Kidney Transplant from 6 to 8 May 1994. Many muftis from countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Indonesia, Brunei, Singapore and Saudi Arabia were present and discussed on kidney transplant issues, in particular of Muslim Singaporeans.

As the construction season bulldozes on, the detours, road closed signs and truckloads of rubble continue to mark the often begrudged necessity of Minnesota summers.
For business owners along Central Avenue, the waiting period before the street is repaved is met with annoyed patience. While many have said the construction hasn't exactly been great for business, they understand it's a necessary inconvenience.
"It does affect us some, but it hasn't been terrible," Hobnetti's owner Karen Christensen said. "The parking situation was bad to begin with, so this doesn't help."
Christensen shared confusions with fellow business owners about the resurfacing project.
"We were told they'd be doing it one section at a time, but then we were told they changed their mind and decided to tear it all up at once," she said. "So I don't know what the construction plans are now. We just have to be patient."
County project manager Mike Anderson said the changes to the original plans were necessary because of uncooperative weather.
"Knife River fell behind due to weather issues. They asked us if they could remove the next segment and promised that they would make the south section black, then it rained again," Anderson said. "We felt it better to keep working then to send the removal contractor home, as they often go to other jobs and won't return when requested. It looks bad to have the street tore up and nobody working."
The entire project is expected to be wrapped up by August, and until then, most businesses and patrons alike are hoping for clear skies.

Mr. Ridge
February 25, 2003
By Tygrbright
Mr. Ridge,
Although you and I have profound ideological, philosophical,
and political differences, I believe we share at least one
very important thing: We both care deeply about keeping our
fellow-citizens safe, and protecting ourselves from an increasingly
dangerous and unpredictable world. Because of this, I am willing
to put aside my differences with you, and offer you some advice
that I hope you will find helpful. I know that, insulated
as you must necessarily be by the absorbing concerns of each
day's problems; isolated as you are from the rest of us by
a wall of bureaucrats and political appointees, you do not
always have a chance to hear what your fellow-citizens really
want, need, and care about.
You are clearly trying. And I give you and your colleagues
credit for a sincere desire to balance the needs of security
(not giving terrorists any information that might help them
perpetrate their heinous acts,) and safety (helping us protect
ourselves from those acts.) But I have to tell you, Mr. Ridge,
that honestly, from my viewpoint, you're not hitting the bulls-eye.
In fact, you're not even on the target. So here, to help you
correct your aim a little, is a list of what is, and is not,
helpful to me as a citizen trying to protect myself and my
And yes, Mr. Ridge, I know these things will take time. You
may even be trying to do some of them already. I'm well aware
that you're not getting the help and cooperation you need
from Congress, and you're welcome to share my letter with
them. They will be hearing from me, too. But it would make
me feel much better if I heard from you that these things
are in the process of becoming real. Show me the folks working
to make it happen. Let me hear from credible scientists, planners,
and leaders about the progress toward these goals on a regular
basis. Give me a timeline. Make me believe. Don't underestimate
my intelligence. Don't overestimate my capacity to do too
much of this on my own.
And no, Mr. Ridge, I do not ignore or underestimate the cost
of all this. I'm willing to pay for it. Please don't cut my
taxes-use them to pay for this. And if you still need more
money, get in touch with me. I have a list of things my tax
dollars are currently paying for that I think I could manage
to do without. Let's go over the Federal budget together.
I think I can really be helpful, here.

Members present: Senators Hazlewood, Wilson, Feakes, Martin, Stone, Huling, Payne, Morey, Brown, Conroy, Warms
Guests: Sigler, Gross (Star), Moore, Bourgeois, Sanders
Meeting called to order at 4:00.
PAAG Meeting:
PAAG Follow-Up:
PPS 7.05, Faculty Workload: A task force is revising the faculty workload policy, with a new draft currently being distributed to a number of groups on campus for review. On April 1, a revised draft of the PPS will be submitted for the formal review process. The Chair asked Senators to send her feedback on the latest revisions. The Senate and Dr. Bourgeois explored a number of possible revisions to the draft, including paragraphs on reimbursement for accrued workload credits, credit for teaching graduate classes, and the definition of "large class."
Dr. Bourgeois noted that some departments will have to create or revise their workload policies once this revised PPS is approved. Among the changes he cited was that there are now only 13 codes for assigning workload credit, an important streamlining of the previous policy.
Minutes of 2/23/11 were approved.

January in Australia: where children dive into lemonade oceans, when barbecues thrum with the good cheer of a country with a Judeo-Christian foundation so dense not even hot-cross buns in January could fissure it. Or could they?
Lately we've heard confidently vexed arguments against the tireless infringing and encroaching of commercialism.
There's no escape, goes the argument; no relenting. Worse, there's no respect for ritualistic dates - for the way we mark time. It's been said we're losing our time-honoured bearings, losing our religion if you will, to an unofficial religion called corporate decree. The trend is encapsulated, it seems, by what we might call the midsummer hot-cross bun. Coles and Woolworths expect to sell about 90 million between January 1 and Easter. Last January Coles did 7 million.
Despite the annoyance they've sparked in sensitive souls, I've started to sympathise with these inauspicious buns sitting defenceless in plastic bags. Time somebody said something salient in their defence. For example, in inhospitable climates, hot-cross buns in the supermarket in January might remind locals of the decreasing chance of anybody anywhere having quarterly seasons. Autumn was majestic in its day, but its time has come, and the makers of these buns aren't fudging it. January's buns are a sign of the climatic times; tasty logos testifying to maladjusted seasons. Baker, show us where the clock hands are at.
Besides all that, nothing symbolises the renewed hope of new year like a hot-cross bun. That's when they hit the shelves now. Christmas Eve, in fact, is ideal, if only you'll sharpen your commercial acumen and carve into the numbers. What the hell: Cup day.
I'd like to point out that if you oppose my defending buns in January, you are being anti-jobs.
The way out of a budgetary crisis is productivity. A nice glazed bun with a few raisins is a sexier place to start than a bleak manufacturing plant. So get behind this. Get motivated. Get off your leftie-leaning backside and get down to the supermarket. While you're there, grab some more booze for January 26 and March 17 and April 25. Buns, poppies, green beer, the resurrection, Collingwood v Essendon, it's all the same article of trade.
What on earth do you mean you'd like a week's grace between festivals? What are you? You're probably the type who doesn't want a day where we'll have your birthday, Easter, Christmas and Valentine's all on the same amazing day. Invite your Facebook friends, all 1900. Eat hearty and don't be shy about asking for more. First we need a name for such a day. Send suggestions for your chance to win a box of Anzac cookies not available to the rest of the public until February.
A recent article on Live Light, a Christian website, suggests the buns may go as far back as ancient Rome. But most seem to agree they were first eaten during Lent, the cross symbolising the crucifixion. According to superstition (according to Wikipedia), sharing a hot-cross bun with another is supposed to ensure friendship throughout the coming year. How simple and good that is. In the end, there's a paying public who will buy or snub, or perhaps buy for a time and then snub. I happen to loathe the sound and sight of those whistling bomb-shaped projectiles teenagers hurl to each other on the beach. I don't like my chances of bringing to a standstill their production. Buns away!

"Lt. Moodie is well-respected within the OCSD and has demonstrated exceptional supervisory and training skills and an outstanding ability to manage and resolve conflict in a positive way," the city said.
Gudgeirsson cited Moodie's broad experience in law enforcement and described him as "very approachable and committed to engaging our residents."
Moodie moved to San Clemente in his teens and lived in town for seven years, the city said. His children grew up playing sports in San Clemente and continue to be involved in local sports programs, the release said.
"Lt. Moodie is an avid surfer and enjoys surfing regularly in San Clemente," the city said.
Moodie said in a statement that he is "grateful to come home and be entrusted with this dream assignment."
Moodie and his wife of 25 years, Margo, have four children, one of whom is a sheriff's deputy, the city said.

Photos of John Krasinski on the Set of The Office
John Krasinski Has a Ball on the Set of The Office
John Krasinski was spotted on the set of The Office earlier this week, but he looked more like himself than Jim Halpert in his cap and baseball shirt. Last night we were treated to more fun times at Dunder-Mifflin, and from the looks of these photos, we may be in for another offsite episode soon. Lately John's been spending a lot of time with his girlfriend, Emily Blunt, though moments like these remind us that he's just as much fun to look at when he's by himself.

Looks like the FreeBSD people changed the ipsec-tools port to use the
"security" syslog facility instead of "daemon", and in the
syslog.conf that m0n0wall uses, these are all logged, including debug

ANALYSIS: So, the Bombers have started the season at 5-0. It's pretty hard to miss the finals from that point, isn't it? It was a gritty victory on Anzac Day against a more-than-accomplished opponent. Granted, the Magpies were undermanned but it was the key Essendon personnel who stood up with the match up for grabs. Zaharakis seems to enjoy the brighter spotlight of this special day in footy while Jobe Watson once again underlined why he is arguably the best leader in the game. Jake Carlilse was again outstanding in a key defensive post. Hibberd was very good again, continuing his impressive start to the season.
STATS WATCH: Zaharakis was the best of all-comers with 34 touches. A great final quarter. Sidebotton shone throughout, finishing with 31 touches, just ahead of Swan (30) and Pendlebury (29). Stanton and Watson managed 31 touches each for the Bombers. Ben Reid deserves special mention for 24 touches and 12 marks.
David Zaharakis is awarded the ANZAC Day Medal thanks to his 34 possessions and four goals. A 12-possession final quarter did the trick. Very hard to argue with that decision .... Every chance Essendon players could have filled the podium spots with Zaharakis, Watson and Stanton. Pendlebury particularly good for Collingwood.
FINAL SCORE: 18.13 (121) COLL 10.15 (75) - There it is. A punishing win to Essendon over fierce rival Collingwood. And what a last quarter .... in fact, what a great second half by the victors.
Goals: Essendon: D Zaharakis 4 J Winderlich 3 A Davey 2 J Merrett 2 J Watson 2 S Gumbleton 2 T Bellchambers 2 S Crameri. Collingwood: J Blair 2 S Pendlebury 2 T Cloke 2 T Goldsack 2 J Elliott S Sidebottom.
Umpires: Simon Meredith, Jacob Mollison, Brett Rosebury.
Official Crowd: 93,373 at MCG
Q4 33:50 -18.13 (121) COLL 10.15 (75): GOAL - Another one to the Bombers. Bellchambers is all smiles after slotting another one.
Q4 30:48 -17.13 (115) COLL 10.15 (69): GOAL - Cloke with a consolation goal. That's two for the day for the Magpie spearhead. At the very least it stopped the run of goals. A good kick from 40 metres.
Q4 28.40 -17.13 (115) COLL 9.15 (69): GOAL - Another one. That little pesky player Davey put forward pressure on again and managed to snare another in close. The lead has shot out to 46 points. Who really saw this outcome happening?
More bad news for Collingwood. Alan Toovey went down immediately after that goal with an apparent knee injury. He looks in a lot of pain. Strong speculation that the Magpie has suffered a ruptured ACL. The crowd falls silent as the medical cart makes its way onto the ground.
Q4 22.34 -16.13 (109) COLL 9.15 (69): GOAL!!!! Zaharakis with his fourth! Great tenacious pressure from Davey kept the all in the forward line. A chain of handballs resulted in the Bomber getting the ball within range. He ran straight to the Bomber faithful to celebrate
Q4 20:40 -15.13 (103) COLL 9.15 (69): GOAL!!!! Watson. He breaks from the pack deep in the forward line and drills a major from a tight angle. Gee, that was impressive. And doesn't he look like his old man when he runs like that. What a reaction, too. The skipper runs straight to the crowd to celebrate.
Watson has edged up to the 30-possession mark and he is right in contention for the ANZAC Day Medal. He has been steady through the game. A great leader.
The official crowd is more than 93,000 fans at the MCG. In fact the word is that it was the third biggest home-and-away crowd ever.
POSTER!!!! Davey settles from 40 metres and can only collect the woodwork. Time running out for the Magpies. They need four goals. Less than 10 minutes to play.
Q4 9:57 -13.10 (88) COLL 9.14 (68): MISS - Bellchambers is off target and that's another behind to the Bombers. Indeed it was a let-off for the Pies. Just one more goal to Essedon will almost seal the game for the Dons.
Q4 6:55 -13.8 (86) COLL 9.14 (68): GOAL!!! Winderlich snaps another! He showed plenty of composure deep in the forward line with defenders circling to take his kick at the right moment. About 15 minutes to play and the Bombers are out by three goals.Back to top
Q4 2:55 -12.8 (80) COLL 9.14 (68): GOAL!!! Goldsack with a monster roost. Magpies with two goals within the first three minutes. The Collingwood utility leant back on that kick from beyond the 50m arc and it sailed through!
Q4 1:00 - ESS 12.8 (80) COLL 8.14 (62): GOAL!! Elliott gets a crucial early one for the Magpies, cutting the deficit to just 18 points. This match is still well and truly up for grabs.
STATS WATCH: Sidebotton (28) is still leading the way for overall possession numbers but Swan and Watson are threatening his No.1 position. Pendlebury has managed 22 touches and I can't think of a time when any one of those was wasted.
3QT - ESS 12.8 (80) COLL 7.14 (56): There's the siren and it's met with a chorus of boos from the black and white army. No doubt some late decisions have worked in Essendon's favour. But, to their credit, they did surge shortly after half-time when the match was up for grabs.
Carlisle was forced from the ground with an ankle complaint (not a knee injury as first feared) and received treatment in the rooms. The Bombers could ill afford to be without him in the final quarter.Back to top

lilragu: It does not make any sense...why does Warner say the Administrative Office in San Francisco should continue to pay? For nothing? What a blatant waste of money!!! As far as having to go to Stockton to court, they won't see me there. I just don't "do" downtown Stockton any more. The court building itself is not safe...they have old metal detectors and prisoners come from County Jail with shanks and stab the judges! I don't feel safe walking through an empty parking garage to get to the court house. When I last did jury duty in Lodi, there were two sheriffs at the metal detector every time someone went in or out the door. There was a heavy police presence through the entire trial. This was just for possession of marijuana (a large amount) and a pipe! In Stockton, there was one person in a guard uniform at the metal detector and one bailiff(sheriff) in the courtroom. It was a civil suit...but you just never know who is walking around that place! Keep the court open in Lodi. Our police officers can stay in town, our cases can remain here, we can get and renew passports here. How pathetic that Lodi cannot keep a court open!

Jerry Bransom: Police, Sheriff, Highway Patrol, Border Patrol, Bart Police, Port Police, School District Police, College Police, Airport Police, BATF, DEA, Game Wardens, Department of Corrections, Federal Prisons, Lottery Police, US Marshals, ICE, Coast Guard, Customs, FBI, CIA, NSA, Secret Service, National Guard, TSA, DHS, dozens of others in the Armed Services and more. You cannot say them all in one breath.
We are mostly a Police State. A slowly receding nation of laws. Divert funds from Police to political infrastructure (retirements & graft), restrict peoples access to the court. Sound familiar? Get used to it. It is your legacy.

Jose Sanborn: @Josh Morgan: You don't appear to be missing anything here. As far as I can tell, you are spot on with your observation.
Tuesday, January 15, 2013, 10:25 am
Josh Morgan: What am I missing here? Rent will continue to be paid, there will be no savings for personnel and Judge Warner can't give the dollar amount that will be saved by closing the court. This just isn't making any sense to me. The move will cost everyone else more money....transferring of prisoners, the time for police officers to travel to and from Stockton let alone the costs for Lodi residents to travel to and from Stockton. I'm all for the downsizing of government but this is just transferring the burden from one location to another and creating all kinds of hardships on everyone else. Again, what am I missing?

Just a precision : With the SVG traffic grapher, there is absolutely NO
stockage on m0n0wall disk or CF or memory, so this way doesn't eat up your
compact flash card's memory. All data are saved by your browser for just
20s. And you can see that your memory browser is not eated up too.
Traffic grapher is just an instant shoot of what happens on your Interfaces.
Consider it for that, and not as an rrdtools-like for a long way analisys.
Sure, you right, I think both are useful. But I think too that m0n0wall is
not a traffic analyser box. As an Extension why not (-;

First, Thank You
We had some incredible victories last night – for the country and for our organization in particular. So many of the candidates we advocated for will, come January, get to work in Washington, DC and in state capitols across the nation on an agenda that works for working families – not just for corporations and very wealthy.
Tomorrow we'll be looking at some of the new faces we'll be seeing in the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and state legislatures from Salem, Oregon to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and everywhere in between. We'll also acknowledge some tough losses we saw on the ballot, and what those mean going forward.
Furthermore, we'll be looking at some next steps. Washington will soon reconvene to address the most consequential "lame duck" agenda in years: dealing with the future of the Bush tax cuts for the 2 percent. And yes, we will be asking you in the coming days to get involved: to write messages, make calls, and ensure that representatives of both parties take action to make our tax system more fair to the hardest working, hardest his Americans.
But first, thank you.
It's hard to know where to begin. Working America exists because of the over 3 million members in neighborhoods from Greensboro, North Carolina to Racine, Wisconsin who don't have the benefit of a union, but know that their future depends on standing up for their economic interests.
And in this election, you did that. On a massive scale.
In Cleveland, you collected signatures to get a historic redistricting amendment on the ballot. In Albuquerque, you handed out flyers and talked to your neighbors about raising the minimum wage. In Minnesota, your canvassing, calling, and every day outreach sent dozens of anti-worker state legislators packing. Across Michigan, you put your foot down and ended the undemocratic practice of "emergency managers." In Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Oregon, Colorado, and elsewhere, you held politicians accountable for their votes against your children's public education.
Some of you attended community action team meetings, phone banks, or postcard-writing parties. Some of you simply shared one of your blog posts on Facebook, forwarded our slate card email to a relative, or texted us to find your polling place. Every action played a part in last night's historic, nationwide victory.
So from all of us at Working America, thank you. And we won't stop fighting for you.

Smithsonian American Art Museum, purchase through the Julia D. Strong Endowment and the Smithsonian Institution Collections Acquisition Program
This gathering of children at Christmas attests to VanDerZee's finesse in photographing youngsters. Undistracted by their unwrapped presents or the twinkling lights on the tree behind them, they stare patiently at the camera. Only one young man, on the far left, places a hand under his chin, as if to challenge the photographer to hurry up and get through with his task.

Numeric, and otherwise, wordlists have patterns that are unlikely to be utilized by software which creates the key based on 'random' digits. Repetition is an obvious one, but all patterns must go.
febf2cff (utilizing the 'f' 4/8 makes this key highly improbable to be generated randomly)
Obviously, this can drastically reduce a wordlist's size; a necessity if you want to challenge larger keys.
It seems this has been covered elsewhere but I cannot find a reference: Does anyone know of an existing program that does such a thing, or am I delusional? I realize there are numerous rudimentary ways to do this, but its seems as if there is already a program specifically for this. If not, its off to the coding board!

Wednesday April 9th, 2014 - 10:12AM
As competition intensifies for business and leisure travelers, hotel brands are developing new custom experiences and amenities to help create loyalty among guests and build stronger brand identities. In a recent SmartBrief report sponsored by The Wall Street Journal, three personalized amenity programs designed for guests looking to stay healthy while traveling are explored.
1. For guests looking to experience the outdoors while burning calories, Kimpton Hotels expanded its entire portfolio to include a bicycle-share program, which started 10 years ago at Hotel Marlowe in Cambridge, MA. Kimpton made it a brand-wide program during summer 2013, and the launch was so successful that the brand is ordering more bicycles for next summer.
"Once they jump on and take it for a spin, they can't say enough about it. It gets written about in the comments all the time," said Mike DeFrino, COO of Kimpton. "We think that makes for good experiences, and we think it makes for good customers who want to keep trying things at our hotels and restaurants."
2. Attempting to serve a variety of demographics, hotels have paid close attention to the health and wellness needs of female travelers, who would prefer a private space to workout. Omni Hotels & Resorts met this need by offering female members of its Select Guest loyalty program a Get Fit Kit, in which they can request complimentary weights, a yoga mat, stretch mat or other equipment to be placed in the guestroom at check-in.
"I think some people just intuitively like the privacy of their room when they travel," said Tom Santora, chief marketing officer of Omni. Feedback from guest surveys has shown the program to be popular, he added.
3. Wellness encompasses more than working out. JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts saw an opportunity to incorporate healthy living into its turndown service with two custom amenities: an aromatherapy oil from Aromatherapy Associates and a bedtime snack bar, developed by noted nutritionist Keri Glassman, with natural ingredients intended to promote sleep.
"We've always found with our guests that they are focused on overall wellbeing," said Mitzi Gaskins, VP and global brand manager for JW Marriott. "These guests love a very balanced life. They want to do the same things on the road as they do at home. Offering the experiences helps add value to their trip. We feel that that's where we can create loyalty."

FURIOUS Studley boss Lee Knight is set to report Black Country Rangers to the Birmingham County FA after claiming they made an illegal approach for defender Matty Collins.
The Bees allege Collins was the subject of an approach by the West Midlands League Premier title-chasers after a Sunday league match at the weekend, even though they had not made a formal seven-day request talk to him.
This is not the first time that Studley claim they have been victims of such a breach of FA rules and they want to send out a clear message that the Warwickshire outfit are not easy pickings for clubs who covet their players.
"We are absolutely furious that this as happened," fumed Knight.
"We've had no communications from Black Country Rangers or received a seven-day bid for Matty, but according to the player they approached him on Sunday.
"That is completely out of order and I want to send out a clear message that clubs cannot use these tactics to sign our players.
"We've had enough and are reporting them to the Birmingham County FA to let them sort it out.
"I consider myself an approachable guy, any manager who wishes to sign one of our players can give me a call but I've never spoken to anyone at Rangers."
Meanwhile, the Bees are set for a tough test when they return to action in the Midland Alliance against Causeway United on Saturday.
The Bees have not kicked a ball in anger in the league since January 12 hopes are high Saturday's away clash will go ahead (3pm ko).
They are sixth from bottom and five points ahead of the relegation zone, so Knight wants his team to push on and start moving up the table.
They face a Causeway side who have improved since Andy Mole took the reins a fortnight ago.
With Studley's attempt to rearrange their league trip to Ellesmere Rangers failing last week, Knight had a free weekend and saw Causeway defeated Alvechurch 3-0.
Studley, who were playing Sutton Coldfield at Coles Lane in the Birmingham Senior Cup last night, suffered a setback as Halesowen have recalled defender Joe Hull, who had been a month's loan.

Conversation on Comprehensive Immigration Reform Changes After Election
In his first post-election news conference, President Obama sounded optimistic talking about comprehensive immigration reform — an issue he hadn't addressed during his first term.
"My expectation is that we get a bill introduced and we begin the process in Congress very soon after my inauguration," Obama said.
The reform could include a pathway to legal status for illegal immigrants, including the 600,000 estimated living in New York. The possibility of passing this type of a bill is being discussed for the first time in years by both Republicans and Democrats.
In this election, ten percent of all voters were Latinos. Over 70 percent of them voted for Obama, helping him win Colorado, Nevada and Florida. According to ImpreMedia-Latino Decisions poll, 58 percent of Latino voters said they were more enthusiastic about the president because of his decision on deferred action, a program that allows young illegal immigrants to apply for temporary work permits.
Paul Taylor, the director of the Pew Hispanic Center, expects the influence of the Latino voting bloc will continue to grow.
"Latinos actually, to borrow a boxing metaphor, punch below their weight electorally," Taylor said.
He estimates the Latino electorate will double by 2030. That's driven by several factors, but the most important one is Latino youth.
"As today's kids, 0 to 17-year-olds, 90 plus percent of whom are citizens," Taylor explained. "As they age into the electorate, they will contribute to a growing voice that the Latino community is likely to have in our politics."
The fact that Latinos cast significantly fewer votes for Romney than they had for George Bush and John McCain has seemingly led to a significant change in the GOP's position on immigration. From Senator McCain to the Tea Party favorite, Senator Rand Paul, Republicans have been coming out in support of comprehensive immigration reform.
"It's one thing to shoot yourself in the foot, just don't reload the gun," Republican Senator Lindsey Graham told CBS News. "So, I intend not to reload this gun when it comes to Hispanics. I intend to tear this wall down and pass an immigration reform bill that's an American solution to American problem."
New York Senator Chuck Schumer said he and Graham have resumed talks on immigration reform that broke off two years ago. They're working towards a proposal that would include "an earned path to citizenship that allows those who came here illegally in the past to become citizens provided they have a job, they stay clear of the law, they learn English and they go to the back of the line."
Schumer says he would give illegal immigrants work permits immediately, but they would need to wait for their turn to get green cards.
"If somebody in Mexico City applied to the embassy before they crossed the border, they will not … get on the path to citizenship before that person did," Schumer said.
Lessons for reform can be drawn from the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act, or IRCA. It enabled 2.7 million people to get legal status criminalized the hiring of illegal immigrants for the first time.
But the legislation failed to stem illegal immigration.
"Before the ink on IRCA was dry, workers were coming in across the border to take jobs that employers needed in the country," said Muzaffar Chishti, the director of the Migration Policy Institute's office at NYU School of Law. "And since there were no increased legal channels for them to come, workers used unauthorized channels to come and that essentially is the essence of our current 11 to 12 million unauthorized in the country."
Chishti says the employer sanction mechanism of the 1986 law was laden with pitfalls. Prospective employees had to provide documents like green cards before getting hired, but employers could accept any document that appeared genuine.
"What we saw was a huge growth of the fraudulent document industry in our country, which is why so many unauthorized people today are employed in the formal sector of the economy using either someone else's documents or fraudulent documents," Chishti said.
According to Schumer, the reform would address this issue. Changes would be made to the legal system to bring in immigrants who have the skills the country needs. Employers could more easily check who's authorized to work in the country and would face harsher penalties if they hired illegal immigrants.
But experts say negotiating these components will be a difficult process. And any bill that might have bipartisan support in the Senate has to pass the House, where many members oppose comprehensive immigration reform.

Reprint of a review originally featured on Urban Times (http://www.theurbn.com/2011/10/low-budget-hell-book-review/)
So I'm one of those people that watch a movie and then watch the credits go by totally amazed by the number of people and titles involved in the process. Admittedly my children have drastically reduced the range of titles I get to watch, but did you realize that it took like 800 people to make the first Curious George movie? Anyway… I never really bothered to think about how much work those people listed on the credits might be responsible for or how cutthroat the industry that they work in might be, but I have a new found respect the whole process of movie making after reading Robert Maier's Low Budget Hell Making Underground Movies with John Waters.
Maier explains his love/hate relationship with low budget film making through his remarkable journey as a crewmember and producer in the early days of John Waters's career as filmmaker. At times brutally honest, most of the time riveting and funny - Maier talks about his own journey alongside Waters's rise to fame and the simultaneous progressions in their careers. The book maintains an amazing level of detail into the production process (and the difficulties that came along with that process). Maier manages to impart the reader with a plethora of knowledge about the mechanics of movie-making without interrupting the narrative of his personal experience.
Picking up after Waters's release of Pink Flamingos (1979) Maier explains his role in low budget movie-making hell and the struggles that came with the territory. He also unfurls a fascinating story about the intersection of his career and that of Waters which continues until the release of Cry-Baby (1990). The storyline keeps it interesting with vignettes about stolen (borrowed) movie equipment, helicopter near crashes, union bullying, shady project funders, artistic debates and Hollywood production company antics. This is the inside line on low-budget moviemaking. If you're an outsider to the movie industry, you won't watch another movie the same way.
Maier's memoir is interesting because of the balance that it strikes in telling his own story and in explaining Waters's rise to notoriety. John Waters has been somewhat relegated to the margins of cult and "trash art" filmmaking and I have to admit that I had never seen a John Water's movie prior to starting Low Budget Hell (I've since watched A Dirty Shame – which might not be a purist Water's film but insightful and entertaining in a trashy, social critique kind of way nonetheless). Maier defines who Waters was when they worked together and contrasts that personification to what he has become today . As a side note, if you start the book a John Waters novice, you'll have a solid appreciation for the vision behind his films which goes a long way toward providing the necessary perspective. I'll also make another side note that John Waters is not really as important as the comparison that he provides in Maier's memoir. In other words, Waters simply serves as the visionary behind looking to produce a specific product and Maier provides background on the nuts, bolts, sweat, and blood that make that vision happen. It's a great read and it provides a level of inside knowledge that you're unlikely to encounter elsewhere. I enjoyed the dive into movie history and understanding the soul-crushing work it takes to make a movie happen.
Check out the book's Low Budget Hell's Facebook page for more information.
In order to be completely forthright, I must admit that I went through segments of basic training and deployed to Afghanistan with Maier's son (Evan), and he was gracious enough to take a very intoxicated me to my first post-deployment American breakfast upon our return to the states. He and his wife have also been kind enough to let my whole family crash at their house during our travels… that all being said he writes a great book.

Mayhem # 1834025
About MeWith a background in exercise physiology, I am intrigued by the strength and coordination it takes to perform fitness poses. Using proper biomechanics are essential when portraying certain sports.
Right now my sport of choice is distance running but I have also taught tennis, golf, yoga and pilates. For the Summer of 2013 I have been running about 12-16 miles per day.
It has always been a goal of mine to empower the female body both mentally and physically, by being a role model for the up and coming generation who is already suffering from negative body images and low self esteem. Through sports and fitness, the mind and body can make leaps and bounds and I feel that capturing the power of the human body is a great way to motivate others.
I am happily married with an adorable puppy as well as a baby and have a very supportive family whom I love dearly. Unless we have previously shot, on all shoots, I will bring someone to accompany me for the purpose of safety, make-up retouch, moral support, and wardrobe assistance. She is also very good with the reflector and I have found it helpful to have her on the sidelines as an extra set of eyes and hands. Because I am a nursing mother, my baby comes first. My mother or husband brings her in case she needs to eat, but watches her off to the side or in the stroller in the area of the shoot.
Shoot ideas I have thought sounded fun - If any of them peak your interest, please let me know so we can collaborate!
- Movement in the rain
- Avant Garde make-up
- Jewelry and face paint
- Female 'super hero', like Wonder Woman or Catwoman shoot (don't have her outfit, but thought it could be very fun)
As it states on the side of my profile, I will not shoot nude and nor will I consider the possibility.
I am open to creative ideas for wardrobe, styling, and scenes. I am always looking for people to collaborate with to expand my portfolio!

On first glance Jicama (Heh-kah-ma) is a rather unimpressive specimen. It has a thin brown skin and sort of resembles a turnip in shape with a crisp white flesh. If you ask anyone about it they will always compare it to something else: e.g. a cross between a water chestnut and a pear, or a cross between an apple and a potato. Regardless of its appearance or taste and texture comparisons, jicama is sweet, crunchy and highly versatile.
Jicama is native to Central and South America and has been cultivated there for centuries. Sometimes referred to as a yam bean, Mexican turnip, or Mexican potato it is a member of the morning glory family and a cousin of the sweet potato.
When you taste jicama for the first time you are tempted to categorize it as a fruit because it is deliciously sweet and crunchy, but it actually grows on a vine and the jicama is its tuberous root.
The vine can grow up to 20 feet in length. The vines hug the ground, terminating in tubers that may grow up to 50 pounds, although jicama over 3 – 4 pounds tend to be too fibrous and woody to be tasty. The root is the only edible portion of the plant because its leaves and seeds contain a mild toxin.
You can find jicama year-round in the produce section of many supermarkets and Latin American markets. Select firm, dry jicama roots. Skin should not appear shriveled, bruised, or blemished. Store them unpeeled in a plastic bag in your refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Jicama is a very versatile vegetable that is a good source of potassium and vitamin C, is low in sodium, high in fiber and has no fat. One serving (one cup) contains only 45 calories.
Regardless of the preparation, remove the skin then cut the flesh into cubes or strips, according to your recipe.
Jicama can be eaten raw or cooked. It can be sliced and diced in a variety of ways too which makes it a great carrier for dips. As an added bonus, jicama does not turn brown or become soggy after cutting, so it makes a nice addition to a crudités platter or salads. Added to sushi rolls jicama can take the place of a cucumber for crunch.
It's naturally crunchy nature makes it perfect for quick cooking techniques such as stir-frying or sauteéing with other vegetables such as carrots or green beans. But, Jicama can also be steamed, baked, boiled, mashed or fried and appears in stews, drinks, stuffing's, and many other recipes. In addition to having a unique flavor and texture, jicama takes flavor well, making it well suited to culinary experimentation.
In Central America, jicama is often sold by street vendors seasoned with lemon or lime juice and chili powder and eaten raw.
Other ways to enjoy jicama
Jicama tastes great with black beans. For a perfect blend, use any basic bean salad recipe and add about 1 cup diced jicama to the ingredients.
Jicama salad. Mix together fresh diced jicama, apple and 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts in a small bowl. In another bowl mix together: 1/4 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon fresh and grated lime peel, 2 teaspoon lime juice, 2 1/2 tablespoons honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Thoroughly blend the dressing into the jicama mixture and chill before serving.
Quick stir-fry. 1 julienned jicama, 1 clove of garlic, ½ julienned red, yellow or orange bell peppers with 1-2 teaspoons olive oil season with 1/8 teaspoon paprika, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.

A CAMPAIGN to build an 'important' new road to the north of Pershore may get a boost of more than £1.6 million if a bid for funding is successful.
Wychavon District Council has put in the request for the grant, which will go towards building the long-awaited Northern Link Road to ease congestion at Pinvin crossroads, to the Worcestershire Local Transport Body.
If the bid is successful they will also be backed by Pershore Town Council, which has voted in support of earmarking £20,000 of its New Homes Bonus money for the scheme.
Overall the new road and bridge over the railway line is expected to cost in the region of £3.4 to £4 million and, in addition to its £1.6 million bid, Wychavon is seeking support from the Worcestershire Local Transport Body and other sources including developments proposed in the emerging South Worcestershire Development Plan.
Councillor Tom McDonald, board member for economy, regeneration and flooding, said: "We have made an outline application for funding towards the Pershore Northern Link project, which we and other local bodies see as important to improving existing congestion problems at the Pinvin crossroads and supporting local growth opportunities for residents in the town and surrounding villages.
"We should know before the end of the summer whether the project has been shortlisted and if we will be invited to submit a full application."
At a meeting of the town council Pershore mayor Coun Charles Tucker said the £20,000 it would make available would go some way towards a traffic study, but it would only take place if the bid for the £1.6 million was successful.
He added: "If we do put money towards it, it will be a very clear indication of the commitment by the town council to the Northern Link Road and it will be clear to the people looking at the Wychavon bid that there is strong support locally."

February is not only the month of love, but it is also National Cancer Prevention Month. Over half of all men and one-third of all women in the United States will develop cancer during their lifetime, according to the American Cancer Society. These people could be your grandpa, mom, sibling, family friend, teacher, anyone. Cancer effects more than it's patients, it effects our entire community which is why we need to help in every way we can.
Winona State Warriors are teaming up with local health establishments to help the fight against cancer for the second time. Starting February 11th, WSU Health, Exercise and Rehabilitative Science undergrads plan to help cancer patients from Gunderson Lutheran Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders along with Winona Health on their road to recovery and healthy living.
This program provided by Winona State students lasts 12 weeks and is intended to help patients maintain or improve their strength, endurance, flexibility and wellness following treatment.
"Each survivor is assigned one or two personal student trainers. We start our morning by taking resting blood pressure and heart rate, and then warming up with some basic lymphedema stretches. The students lead their survivors through a 40 minute individualized exercise regimen, which includes aerobic, resistance and balance exercises. Oftentimes, the students will do the exercises along with the survivors," said Kasia Kilijanek, in her reflection on the program in her blog post.
Though we could see these routines as minor for the average individual, these exercise programs help the confidence and overall physical health of cancer survivors. "Without this program I don't know if I could have done it all by myself," said Mary Rohrer, past participant. "Exercise in a group–all of whom have experienced the same disease–is a double dividend in giving me the motivation to not only get moving but keep moving!"
At Winona State, we are a community of learners dedicated to improving our world, and this program is an example of the difference we can make. These students are giving others a second chance at a happy and healthy life.

She grew up in Scarborough and went to university in York.
Mrs May said: "I'm delighted to be a contender for the Joan Hessayon award.

Vanderbilt MBA Class of 2013
— Concentration in Accounting
Associate, Financial Institutions Group at Goldman Sachs, New York, NY
Along with gaining valuable experience, Graham Hurtt learned a valuable lesson as part of a team that managed assets for DuPont's pension fund. His focus on private markets investment management had served him well in his job search after he graduated from Drexel University, where he was a member of the varsity rowing team. He discovered, however, that "career plans are accurate until they come in contact with reality." Over time Graham realized he wanted "a role that was more transaction- and advisory-oriented."
To make a career pivot, "I needed to refine my technical skills and work on some of the 'soft' skills that separate a technician from a leader and a strategic thinker," says the Wallingford, Connecticut, native. He chose Vanderbilt for three reasons: the program's small size; the "intelligent and interesting" people; and for the opportunity to take classes from "the finance professors I had met and read about and who are some of the brightest minds in financial markets research."
Looking back on his two years in Nashville, Graham says, "Owen has been the best investment I've ever made. The classes and clubs helped me develop a toolbox to solve real-world problems. I've learned from great professors, built a network among alumni and made a great set of friends who will be part of my life for years to come." (Among them is his wife.)
Building on his earlier experience, Graham says he also learned another valuable lesson from Owen: "flexibility pays dividends." Now, instead of being locked into one path, he has the broader knowledge and skills that can take him in a variety of directions, depending, he says, "on the opportunities I can create or capitalize on."
