'How do I become a BBC journalist?' is a question every BBC journalist is often asked. We all give different replies based on our own experience, and of course there is no one definitive answer.
But as an organisation the BBC can offer some basic guidance and advice on how you might go about it.
The good news is that opportunities arise regularly because the BBC employs several thousand journalists and people are always arriving, changing jobs or leaving.
You can enter the organisation at every level: from work experience to full-time jobs on high-profile network news programmes. A good place to start when you're preparing for any approach or interview is here on the BBC College of Journalism website. This is a training area for BBC journalists that is freely available to all in the UK. It covers a wide range of editorial subjects and issues, and multimedia craft skills. The BBC College of Production also has a website you might find helpful.
However you seek to join the BBC, you'll find that competition is fierce. There are always far more applicants than posts. You need talent of course but you also need tenacity and an ability to distinguish yourself from other candidates.
A university degree is not required. Many of the BBC's top journalists did not have a university education. You might have other experience or qualifications which are regarded as just as useful or important.
The BBC is interested in personal qualities as well as educational achievements. It puts a high value on a proven commitment to a career in journalism and on qualities such as energy, enthusiasm, flair, imagination, passion, analytical skills, intellectual curiosity and a reluctance to accept things at face value. You certainly need to be literate and numerate, to be able to swiftly read into and absorb issues and arguments.
Having said that most BBC journalists are graduates, which suggests that a degree gives you a definite advantage. And of course a degree is concrete evidence of intellectual discipline.
Many people considering journalism as a career wonder whether they should choose a degree in media studies, journalism or English rather than other subjects. It is fair to say that many senior journalists are suspicious of media studies courses and doubt their relevance and value to a career in news. They look much more favourably on journalism courses which are more news focused.
But your degree need not have any obvious connections to a career in journalism. It is better to study a subject you like and feel passionate about.
If you might want to specialise in a particular area of journalism - such as science, economics, law or politics - then a relevant degree is obviously a great starting point. A second language is also an asset. Many BBC journalists have arts degrees and the BBC is always interested in widening the knowledge base of its workforce.
As for post-graduate qualifications, they are certainly good to have, but again not essential: you might have other experience or qualifications which would be regarded as just as relevant and valuable. If you secure a job in BBC journalism, you can expect to receive training inside the organisation.
Finally, if you are thinking about studying for a journalism qualification, what should you aim for? It is not up to the BBC to recommend one course or college over another. Ask around and do some research about reputation and course content. You might find these two organisations helpful: the Broadcast Journalist Training Council (BJTC) and the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ).
Many jobs in BBC journalism are not advertised externally. There could be a number of reasons for this - expense, for example, or a recruitment freeze which means vacant posts are offered in the first instance to existing staff.
You can keep up to date with everything that is available by visiting the BBC Careers website. Be aware that many jobs are not permanent vacancies but short-term contracts - covering maternity leave, for example.
Good luck.
All posts are reactively-moderated and must obey the house rules.

Jonathan Baker,
My name is Esther Craddock-Taylor, I graduated from Exeter University in July 2012 and am now seeking a career in journalism. More specifically, I intend on applying for the BBC Journalism Trainee Scheme in September.
I have been researching how to get into the journalism and broadcast industry for months, and as one would expect, everyone seems to disagree. Many blogs say that doing a postgraduate degree or MA in journalism is the best way of getting into this industry. Whereas, others recommend the BJTC or NCTJ which supply numerous courses which can train you to become a certified or recognised journalist.
However, my concern is that I cannot afford to do either due to the demanding financial costs.
In your opinion, without any of the above journalism courses or higher education levels, is it still worth my while pursuing and aiming for a career within the journalism and broadcast industry?
I may not have certificates to prove my skills, but I have other work experience, volunteer work, societies, awards, extra curricular achievements as well as high achieving grades throughout my education.
I really would appreciate your feedback on this subject and I look forward to hearing your reply. Esther Craddock-Taylor.

Jonathan Baker,
My Name is Sher Muhammad and I am from Pakistan. I belong to Lahore city and I am student of Graduation, to become a journalist is my biggest goal in life and dream. Since my child hood I want to become a journalist to serve the people and speak against the evil. But some days ago an incident changed my life totally. On 9th October Taliban attacked on the 14 years old student Malala in Swat. That was one of the worst incident in my life. She just spoke about to open her school and they attacked on her. They are not humans they are worst then animals. We have been sacrificing our lives from 10 years. How long we will bear it? They are using Islam with their gout purposes. While Islam forced every Muslim man and women to seek knowledge. It is a duty of every Muslim man and woman to seek knowledge, then how they stop girls to seek knowledge. About what Islam they are talking about. This is not Islam which they are in effecting on us. It is enough, today they attacked on one Malala, and tomorrow they will attack on numbers of Malala. She talked about education and she is right. She is true face of Pakistan. I also want to promote the education in Pakistan it is my biggest aim and goal and one day I will be successed in it Insha Allah, specially the education of women because they have to face a lot problems to get their education. It is right of every one to get education.
I am not a professional journalist and I am just a student now, and this is my first letter to any newspaper or website.
I look forward to hearing your reply. Sher Muhammad
Marium Khan,
Have a good day.
First of all in Pakistan there is a common trend for girls about education that education is not important for girls as compare to boys especially in the rural areas.Some people of Pakistan thinks that education is also important for girls but the rest of Pakistan thinks its opposite, hence the girls of Pakistan do not get better education.On 9th October Taliban attacked on the 14 years old student Malala in Swat.I may not have certificates to prove my skills and i am still just a student but i thinks that i have the ability to do such types of works which Malala do so kindly tell me that how can i do it?
If you are impressed from my comment so kindly reply me.
Thank you
Best regards
Marium Khan

I had retired from a local Chinese newspaper as the Group Editor in Chief in 2006. I have more than 40 years experience in journalism. Currently I work for a Malaysian IPTV as an adviser. I am knowledgeable with multi media and proficient in English and Chinese. I am still capable to work. I would like to apply for a job in BBC. Please advise how to go about it.
Dear Mr Baker,
My name is Geetha Singarabiru. A University of Surrey graduate, with post graduate qualifications in journalism. Since completing both academic pursuits in 2010, I have worked for various publications and radio stations, as a reporter and sub editor, but such was the economy at the time, most of the work were short contracts/ freelance basis and I have struggled to find full time employment despite having the experience and excellent references from all my previous employers.
I am constantly researching and keeping abreast of world events via the BBC world service and local news networks using twitter and new media platforms. I have multilingual skills and want to work for the BBC's world service, either in London or Singapore as I am a resident in both places. I would appreciate it if you could give me any advice or contact details as to who to approach and send my cv to.
I am not a journalist but I am a social commentator. I find it rather irritating that you the BBC think that you know all about journalism. Your school of journalism is self congratulating and has several misplaced ideas, particulary about article writing - one aspect that I was paid well for over a period of 20 years. Your BBC journalists seem to be competing with each other to obtain the favourable stories which results in errors. Your so called expert who promotes a less than a 16 word sentence needs to go back to school to learn what a real English sentence is about. I am not from Pakistan by the way.
Thank you.
Having read all of the other comments besides mine, I must say they are not very impresive are they? Some people need to stick to a theme and not diverge on to tangents or political points.
Esther Craddock-Taylor
You won't get ino journalism with a degree or post graduate degree. If you want to get into it it will be slow. Write for your locakl paper, start with letters then offer them assignments, articles etc. If you are any good you will do well - your degree means nothing!

Chicago -- Ace Hardware Corp. CEO Ray Griffith pointed to some positive metrics that should give encouragement to hardware retailers in 2011.
Speaking during the opening general session during the Ace Convention & Exhibits here in Chicago, he said across Ace, same-store sales at retail in the month of February were up an impressive 5.8% over last year. Transactions increased "an equally impressive" 3.6%, he said.
"We have not seen that kind of increase in over 47 months -- not since February 2007," he said.
While housing starts and new-home sales continue to languish at or near-historic lows, other macroeconomic factors support optimism for hardware stores. Griffith pointed to February consumer confidence as the highest in almost three years. The International Council of Shopping Centers retail sales increased 4.2% in February.
And almost as if on cue, the nation's unemployment rate for March slipped a tenth of a percentage point on Friday to 8.8%, down from 8.9% in February.
"Consumers do seem to be spending more freely than a year ago," he said. "Obviously it's too early in 2011 to get overly confident about sales, but it has the feel of a much better year."
His advice to retailers: Take advantage of the economic upswing, but be prepared to act quickly in response to change.

DETROIT (WKZO) -- Western Michigan scored two goals in each period Friday night, smothering the Miami RedHawks in their CCHA semi-final game, 6-2. For the second time in as many years, the Broncos will play for the CCHA title at Joe Louis Arena.
Greg Squires opened the scoring early in the first period, and the Broncos never looked back. J.J. Crew added a short-handed goal with 2:40 left in the period to give Western a two goal lead. Miami's Riley Smith provided all of the RedHawk offense, scoring late in the first and again in the third.
The second period was much of the same for Western Michigan, Greg Squires added a power play goal 2:07 into the period, recording his 100th career point. Will Kessel netted the Broncos second power play goal of the period at the 9:47 mark. Western Michigan finished 3 of 9 on the man advantage. Miami was scoreless in that category.
Will Kessel added his second score of the game to open the final frame. Matt Tennyson rounded out the power play scoring at the 13:58 mark advancing the Broncos to their second consecutive CCHA title game.
Much like last Saturday's decisive win over Lake Superior, the Bronco offense started with authority, pelting 14 shots on goal in the first period. They recorded double-digit shot totals in each period tonight on two RedHawk goaltenders, finishing with a 36 shot total. The previously unbeatable Connor Knapp was replaced mid-way through the second period. His replacement, Cody Reichard gave up two goals. Frank Slubowski recorded 19 saves on 21 shots.
Following the game, team work was stressed as the important factor in finishing the job in tomorrow's title game. The Broncos will meet the winner of the second semi final game between Michigan and Bowling Green. The Broncos dominated Bowling Green 6-1 in their last game, and split with Michigan in Ann Arbor in November.
Carolyn Binder is in Detroit to bring you full coverage of the title game on Facebook and Twitter as well as post game interviews. Robin Hook has the call on 96.5 FM WKZO and WKZO.com beginning at 7 pm.

Top Tips On Hiring The Best SEO Expert In IndianapolisSeptember 12th, 2014
The search for the best SEO expert in Indianapolis for your organization's marketing services is never easy. This is due to the high number of providers in the market. So, how do you ensure that you only enlist the services of the right firm? Well, the following is a look at some of the top considerations during the search.
Local Ranking
The best SEO provider is one that has used the concept successfully to market its website in its specific geographical area of operation. This means that firms that appear on the first page when you search for "the best SEO expert in Indianapolis" should be considered because they have the potential to optimize your website the same way. If a firm cannot optimize its own website, they should not claim that they can place yours at the top of search engine searches.
Understands Your Organization
A provider should clearly understand your objectives and aspirations and how you intend to achieve them with search engine optimization. The expert must then strive to ensure that you realize them in the fastest way possible. If you require top conversion rates, opt-ins or high website visits, the firm should have a clear path that will make these possible. This is achievable if the Indianapolis SEO expert clearly understands your business.
This is arguably, the best way to get the best SEO company since you will be directed towards a firm that has been proven to be effective in numerous instances. Some of the best sources of recommendations include business persons in your specific industry because they face the same opportunities and challenges that you are going through. SEO forums are also authoritative sources of the best Indianapolis search engine optimization firm.
Sale Conversion
A good provider of SEO services is one that is active in pursuing sale conversion as one of its core packages. This is due to the fact that a percentage of visitors to your site will not buy products or services after they find it. This makes it necessary to get a firm that will drive in as many paying clients to your site as possible, by including relevant keywords and avoiding visits driven by unrelated search terms.
More Than SEO Services
SEO can only succeed if several other factors are conducive. An expert in SEO should be able to identify them and make corrections where necessary to create a perfect foundation for the search engine optimization process. They should, in this respect, offer webdesign, linkbuilding, and be very good at integrating social media with your site.
Find out what you are expected to part with during the process of optimizing your website. This will allow you to choose between a small and large firm, and identify a firm that bases its payments on results. A large SEO company may charge flat monthly fees irrespective of activities to improve rankings so be watchful. The best SEO in Indianapolis is one that charges based on sales resulting from effective online visibility. Such an arrangement will ensure that the firm is highly motivated to get you results.

Alcoa Earnings Report Uneasy Start to Second Quarter (NYSE: AA)Investors already have a cautious stance in the market amid growing fears about the world's biggest economies, and Monday's Alcoa (NYSE: AA) earnings report didn't help.
The aluminum producer, which always kicks off the earnings season, delivered more of a punt than a kickoff. The Dow bellwether reported an 81.3% drop in profits, as the global slowdown and production cuts weighed on profits.
Reporting after Monday's market close, Alcoa said income from continuing operations came in at $61 million, or 6 cents a share, on revenue just a hair under $6 billion. While significantly lower than the same period a year ago, the lackluster results still managed to beat Wall Street's tepid expectations (analysts were looking for 5 cents on revenue of $5.8 billion).
Chairman and CEO Klaus Kleinfeld said in a statement following the earnings release, "Alcoa maintained revenue strength amid solid liquidity by driving high profitability in our mid and downstream businesses and by reducing costs and improving performance in our upstream businesses."
Contributing to the profit decline was a global glut resulting from stagnant and slowing growth in many areas around the world, especially China.

Strong Second-Quarter Earnings Can't Keep the Bears at Bay
The second-quarter earnings season has gotten off to a strong start, but it's been no match for bears who are less than thrilled with future earnings prospects.
More than half of the companies on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index have reported second-quarter earnings results. And so far, they've been strong, with two-thirds of those companies beating earnings estimates, three-fifths beating on sales and almost half beating on both earnings and sales.�
As a result, the consensus second-quarter earnings per share estimate has climbed to $20.63 from $19.60 at the beginning of the month. Merrill Lynch analysts expect final second-quarter earnings per share to come in at $20.75 - a 5% sequential improvement from the first quarter.
That would be a deceleration from the 15% sequential growth seen between the fourth quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, but it's good growth nonetheless. In fact, it puts 2010 S&P 500 earnings at about $83 per share. And at current prices, that gives the market a price-to-earnings multiple of just 13.3-times - below the long-term historical average of 15.�

What's up with Fukudome, Part I
Sooooo... Fukudome. I'll let the widget do the talking:
I hate looking at monthly splits, because there's so much noise and you can back yourself into a corner with selective endpoints real quickly, but since everyone's talking about how he's "hit a wall" or somesuch I figured I should address it.
A few things stand out:
- His line drive rate seems fine, but his batting average on balls in play seems to have dropped in August. That's something I expect to correct itself. You keep hitting line drives and eventually the ball will drop into play.
- He's not swinging at more pitches, which is contrary to what I hear everybody saying about him. He's still taking pitches. But his contact on pitches he is swinging at is down.
Remember - these are small samples of performance grouped by essentially arbitrary endpoints. I suppose the next question is, are pitchers pitching him differently? That's next time.

Windows 8 - a first look (screenshots)
Summary: Microsoft officially took the wraps off of Windows 8, unveiling its radically revised new operating system. Take a look.
4 of 15Image
When multiple Metro-style apps are open, you use another gesture—a quick swipe in from the left edge of the screen—to switch between apps. (The familiar Alt+Tab and Windows key+tab shortcuts work as well.)
Of course, you can use the familiar pinch gesture to zoom in or out in photos, web pages, and other places where that option makes sense.
If you tap a finger anywhere that accepts alphanumeric input, you'll see an on-screen keyboard like the one shown here. Windows 8 bears a striking number of visual similarities to the Windows Phone OS.
One innovation that should win at least a few fans is the option to reconfigure the keyboard so that its keys are evenly split between the left and right halves. This should please thumb typists.

Constance nurses him and tries to be the dutiful wife. However, childless and listless she feels oppressed by their marriage and their isolated life. Partly encouraged by Clifford to seek a lover, she embarks on a passionate affair with the gamekeeper, Mellors. Through their liaison Lawrence explores the complications of sex, love and class.Written in 1928 and subsequently banned, Lady Chatterley's Lover is one of the most subversive novels in English Literature. Amazon.com ReviewPerhaps the most famous of Lawrence's novels, the 1928 Lady Chatterley's Lover is no longer distinguished for the once-shockingly explicit treatment of its subject matter--the adulterous affair between a sexually unfulfilled upper-class married woman and the game keeper who works for the estate owned by her wheelchaired husband. Now that we're used to reading about sex, and seeing it in the movies, it's apparent that the novel is memorable for better reasons: namely, that Lawrence was a masterful and lyrical writer, whose story takes us bodily into the world of its characters.

text: Do you think God was part of a huge race of other Gods but there was some cataclysmic event (The Big Bang) that wiped them all out except him. So he started making the universe because he was bored and as the millions of years went on, he started getting lonelier and lonelier and crazier. He ended up creating new life on a planet he called 'New Earth' as a dedication to his old one and as the years went on from then, he started having stupid idea's like Dinosaur's. They were interesting enough to him but all they did was eat and mate and eat and mate and die. So he wiped them out with a few well chosen asteroids and after a lot of thinking and years later, he started developing humans. His worst idea yet. At first all they did was eat and mate and eat and mate but then they started moving. Stretching across his New Earth, growing as animal's into Homo-Sapiens. And then God really went down the mental road and started introducing idea's such as Religion and war because all he wanted was some entertainment and someone to talk to. But the problem with God's race is that they were born in silence and could never communicate to the messy human's otherwise their head's would explode. God watches the human race and New Earth as the loneliest being in the universe. Whilst also completely bonkers.

Oven and Shaker Restaurant Review: A wood-fired oven provides the focal point of Oven and Shaker's narrow storefront, while dark furnishings and discrete lighting lend panache. Pizza is the focus, the crisp-crusted, almost burnt style, with creative toppings ranging from truffles, octopus, pork belly, asparagus, fennel-sausage and --- in a riff on humble ham and pineapple --- pork shoulder and pineapple. That said, you may order anything from a quick bar snack (salumi plate, mussel and oyster fritters, fried chickpeas) accompanied by a craft cocktail, glass of wine or lavender soda to a full meal. The Nostrana salad, a Caesar variation with radicchio in place of romaine, is an homage to presiding chef Cathy Whims' second restaurant. For dessert, don't miss the classic brownie sundae. Weekend brunch offers a small but unusual selection of dishes, including a gravlax plate and a ham and duck egg pizza. Be prepared to wait, although you may leave your phone number and stroll to nearby shops until your table is ready.

Why I choose HDR over filters for my landscapes
Some people swear by 'em. I swear at 'em. Filters have their place in photography. In landscape photography, at least how I do it, they have NO place.
When I got back into shooting landscapes after an almost thirty year absence, I plunked down a few hundred dollars for a set of graduated filters, both neutral density and colored. The more I used them, the more I found that they were ruining my photos. I experimented with them from summer to winter. By the middle of winter they had a permanent place in the glove compartment of my vehicle, never to be taken out.
If you read the testimonials of "photographers" over at a blogvertisement for a popular brand of filters in the states you'd mistakenly believe that you can shoot in any conditions and come away with spectacular images. Take a close look at the very same images that many of the photographers there are boasting about and you'll see many reasons why you don't want to have them in your camera bag.
Everything I shoot outdoors I bracket. I stopped metering ages ago. If you plan your brackets properly, one of the exposures that you take will be on the button. There is almost always the problem though of lost highlight or shadow detail. That's supposed to be one of the saving graces of graduated neutral density filters. It might be if you shoot the ocean and have nothing breaking above the horizon. Here on the flat Alberta prairie there is always something that pops up. In the pic at the top it's the fence post. Try and capture this scene in one exposure by using a graduated neutral density filter and what happens ALL the time is that the sky will darken but it will darken the top of the post too and that looks unnatural. All those beautiful mountain shots that I see on the blogvertorial have portions of mountains that the graduated ND filter has over darkened. Sure the skies look great but the mountains don't.
Above are the three bracketed exposures that went into making my final image. Each one of them by themselves has important image detail. There is no way that a single exposure could capture the great range from highlight to shadow. This is where HDR comes in.
After having tried almost every HDR program out there I settled on one program that does it all for me. The only problem that I have with it is that the presets as they come with the program are AWFUL! If you use them, you'll probably end up hating HDR because almost all of the presets have an awful, garish, haloish look to them. The secret in using this program is to go to the strength slider while tonemapping and pulling them to the left until the tones look more normal.
When I have a finished photo the last thing that I want is for someone to be thinking, oh that's an HDR or I know how he did that. Instead, I want the final image to stand on it's own and have the viewer think, hey, that's a lovely place.
BTW, speaking of lovely places, I walk my dog every day near where this was taken. Right now there is a ditch almost forty feet deep where sewer pipes are being laid and where the horizon is on the top photo is a pile of clay a couple of city blocks long and as tall as two houses. This was taken on the outskirts of Edmonton. That's why you see the yellow weeds in the photo. A farmer would have used a herbicide to kill them. The hill that is covered with the weeds is actually a pile of clay from when local construction trucks were dumping fill here. I wrote yesterday that you needn't travel the world to get nice shots. This one was taken three city blocks north of where I live in a city of almost one million people.
Keep your money in your pockets when it comes to special effects filters for landscape photography. If you really have to have a set of high quality Lee filters, let me sell you mine. LOL
Happy shooting,
19 Responses to "Why I choose HDR over filters for my landscapes"
Hello Dan, I am enjoying all of your posts. This one is especially interesting because it appears to me to be twist on conventional thinking that using filters to capture a better image, in camera, is preferable to HDR and other forms of post processing. I agree with your analysis.
Why did you choose not to name the HDR software you finally went with?
You must read my mine.
My father, pioneer landscape photographer Philip Hyde, never used filters on camera. He used them on the enlarger. This is parallel in my opinion to what you are doing with bracketing and combining in post-processing. You make a good case. As I think about it now, I feel your approach is closer to the more traditional masters who started color landscape photography, rather than those who appeared on the scene in the 1980s and 1990s.
I guess I have one question to your photographing style. You say you are bracketing and you do not meter. But even for bracketing you need to have a starting point, some overall correct exposure. Unless you shoot in one of automatic modes, like Aperture Priority. So which mode is your favorite?
Another side comment. It is the first time I commented on your blog, not because it is the first time i have something to add. You are not making it easy for people to comment. I do not have the WordPress account (I self host my blog) and I do not wish to comment using Twitter or Facebook. Why not include things like Open ID or just let people enter e-mail and web site?

In this 32nd and final episode of Gidget, the titular heroine (Sally Field) does her best to console young Davey Seldon (Frankie Kabott), whose pet alligator has died. Thanks to local government bureaucracy, there is no place to "inter" the gator's body until the funeral, so Gidget generously deposits the corpse in her father's freezer. Confusion reigns supreme when, thanks to the machinations of the scriptwriter, the alligator vanishes!

Show for July 22, 2012. The Kitchen Sisters, from Radio Docs to the Concert Hall
Like so many other radiophiles, I was inspired to get into the medium by the work of great independent producers like the Kitchen Sisters—Nikki Silva and Davia Nelson. In fact, this show originates from the same station (KUSP) where Nikki and Davia cut their teeth. They'd left the station 20-some years before I got there, but Nikki was kind enough to give this newb some very helpful starting tips (she turned me on to my first digital editing program, Pro Tools Free). So it was really nice to finally sit down with her and learn about her own radio beginnings. We listened to some of the earliest and still-cool Kitchen Sisters recordings (Rattlesnakes, The Road Ranger and Ernie Morgan, World Champion One-Handed Pool Player) and discussed the latest evolution of their work: The Hidden World of Girls, Stories For Orchestra. Adapted from their Hidden World of Girls radio series, the new orchestral/multimedia production premieres at the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music on July 28 and 29. Listening to Nikki talk, you can hear one of the essential ingredients in the Kitchen Sisters' success: a lot of passion and a lot of heart.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (CBS 8) - You don't have to break the law to have fun going off-road in San Diego County. There are plenty of adventure trails in the backcountry that are perfectly legal to drive on.
Just keep in mind, when you drive on a county-maintained road, your vehicle must be street legal.
No 4-wheel drive is needed on Proctor Valley Rd. east of Chula Vista. The dirt road is flat and very easy to navigate.
The pavement ends on Proctor Valley Rd. just past the Eastlake community. It winds around the south side of Mount Miguel, finally ending up in Jamul. The total driving distance on the dirt is five miles.
The trip offers some awesome views of undeveloped countryside and, this time of year, the wild flowers are popping everywhere.
Bill Grunwald had the day off work, so he hopped on his old-school, Honda XL500 thumper motorcycle and rode through Proctor Valley.
"They used to call them enduros but now they call them dual sport bikes," said Grunwald. "I would tell you how fast I could go down this road but I probably should not do that!"
You don't have to be a speed demon to enjoy an off road adventure. Todd Hyde and his buddy tour around the backcountry on their modern, Kawasaki KRL650 adventure bikes.
"We just cruise. Actually we go slower and slower every time we go out," said Hyde. "Every time we see a dirt road, bang, we go down it."
"Sometimes we go to the top of Otay Mountain, which is nice. You can see all the way to the ocean and all the way into Mexico," Hyde said.
Todd was referring to Otay Mountain Truck Trail. This is one adventure trail where you probably do want a 4-wheel drive or a dual sport motorcycle. It's about a 15-mile trek up and over the mountain on narrow, well-maintained roads.
Otay Mountain Truck Trail actually has three entrances; all three converge at the 3,500-foot summit. If you enter off Otay Lakes Road, follow the trail south up the mountain, take a right turn near the summit and drive down, exiting at Alta Rd. near Donovan State Prison close to the Mexican border.
It is very likely you will cross paths with Border Patrol agents in trucks on Otay Mountain. One vehicle may have to back up to a wider spot in the trail to allow passage.
Remember to share the road, as hikers also walk this trail.
"I just hike it for exercise and to prepare for backpacking trips," said Lee Giddings, halfway up the trail. "There's wildlife up there, there's great views, great wild flowers."
Boulder Creek Rd. in the Cleveland National Forest is one of the longer adventure trails in the county; about 25 miles from start to finish, but only about 13 of those miles are dirt road. The rest is paved.
Boulder Creek Rd. forks off of Eagle Peak Rd. just south of Julian in the community of Pine Hills, and runs all the way south to Descanso near Interstate 8.
You can see all the way to Point Loma from the top of the trail, which is easily navigated by 2-wheel drive or motorcycle. Toward the bottom, the road crosses Boulder Creek, which can become flooded during the rainy season.
A fun trail in the East County is Mother Grundy Truck Trail. The entrance off Honey Springs Rd. is marked by a row of mailboxes and a small sign that reads "Mother Grundy."
The dirt trail runs for five miles, exiting at Deerhorn Valley Rd. north of Highway 94.
Mother Grundy can get a little muddy at times as it winds through boulder-covered hills and residential areas, but it is easily navigated with a 2-wheel drive vehicle.
If you do go driving on adventure trails in the backcountry, you'll definitely want to bring along a GPS navigation device. It will show you where you are located on the trail, and give you directions in case you get lost.
There are several web sites that feature maps and descriptions of San Diego's backcountry trails, like Dirtopia.com and Trails.com

The recent research emphasis on the role of D3 supplementation has made this an essential part of my supplementation program. I would not want to be without my D3 even in the summer time when the sun is at its highest as I am a senior and have learned that my ability to convert sunshine to vitamin D has decreased over the years. Also, my dermatologist is constantly warning against sun exposure.

They are so tiny you can swallow them with no problem and it's cholecalciferol, the best form of vitamin D, with the highest rate of absorption. I avoid sun whenever I can so I have one capsule every day. I will buy it again.
Had to stop taking D3

as any D3 supplement I take in any form after a while cause extreme kidney pain and excessive urination not sure why I have this reaction as I also take magnesium which is mean't to combat any problems but have heard of others that have this too, possibly a reaction to the lanolin which is derived from sheep. So be aware when taking D3 supplements if you start feeling this, as the pain is dreadful especially at night when trying to sleep and takes a while to go even after stopping the supplements.
Muy cómodas

Mandala's recently released issue (October-December 2010) features six notable young people associated with FPMT, ranging from the ages of 6 to 25.
The youngest of these, Tenzin Phuntsok Rinpoche (the recognized reincarnation of Geshe Lama Konchog) and Kundrol Rinpoche (recognized as the former Geshe Lobsang Jamyang), share advice, opinions, messages to former students and memories from their previous lives in "Young Lamas Have Their Say." These heartwarming interviews are worth sharing with others, especially with those fortunate enough to meet these young tulkus in Kopan Monastery in Nepal.
The others – Ling Choktrul Rinpoche, Cherok Lama, Osel Hita and Gomo Tulku – are a fascinating and well-spoken group of men, each with his own distinct and charming personality. You might feel closer to one or another, but it is clear that all the interviewees are worth reading in "Roundtable Discussion With FPMT Young Notables."
We'd love to hear what you think about what you've read, so please feel free to leave a comment.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the update. I rejoice at the focus there is on the young teachers, the only thing I would point out, and there is probably nothing to do about it, but it seems a shame that there are no women amongst the FPMT young notables. I would have thought that by now maybe we would have some female role models to look out for. Maybe they are hidden? Maybe Mandala can make an effort to discover them?
Best wishes and love,
Esther G.

When I talked with my 16 years old son about the intention of Osel Hita to not be labeled. He promptly said : Of course ! Without labels is much more easy to comunicate.
Then i thought… that´s it. The new generation understands and for them those Young Notables are talking.
Michael Jolliffe Author
In response to Esther G.'s valid observation that "Roundtable Discussion With FPMT Young Notables" was lacking any female participants:
Yes! The FPMT family if full of many notable women (lay and ordained) — center directors, board members, FPMT-registered teachers, and editors of Mandala! However, you'll notice that "Roundtable Discussion With FPMT Young Notables" featured young notable tulkus. Unfortunately, recognized female tulkus are rare within Tibetan Buddhism in general and the FPMT specifically. Moreover, they tend (so far) to keep lower profiles. So I really encourage everyone to really show female tulkus with the organization support and help them connect with the FPMT in any way possible!
You'll be happy to know that the next issue of Mandala (January-March 2011) will feature a similar roundtable with four of FPMT's many ordained women. It should be a great conversation.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for your reply and I am glad to hear that the next issue will include some notable FPMT women, which as you mention, there are many.
I understand that the article above refers to recognized tulkus. However as I read it the topic title states: "Roundtable Discussion With FPMT Young Notables" not "Roundtable Discussion With FPMT Young Tulkus or FPMT notable tulkus" hence my observation.
A big hug, and yes please, let's give voice to young female notables.
Esther G.

Where did you hear/read 10Gbps connections? I really don't think that 10 Gbps is fast enough for all of Shaw's Netflix traffic.--Yes, I am not employed and looking for IT work. Have passport, will travel.
Says it on one of the pages in the link I posted. I think it also says a 'minimum of 10Gbps'.
it may be more efficient to install Open Connect appliances in one or more metro network areas. Typically, this makes sense for individual markets serving a population of 100,000 or more broadband subscribers.Found on one of the Netflix pages, so that puts at least one 10 Gbps applicance in each city Shaw operates in?--Yes, I am not employed and looking for IT work. Have passport, will travel.
Just noticed Shaw is now SuperHD ready. Saw the little SuperHD icon next to programs while using Apple TV.You can verify by going to »signup.netflix.com/superhd

That's all well and good, but as you can see from the photos, the tools John now has in his collection, all of which he made, are quite Lilliputian. How does one get from collecting functional full-size modern tools to building functional miniature Victorian era ones?
"I suppose it started in 1961," John recounted, "building kitchen cabinets when I first got married. When we bought a home in 1968, I finished the entire downstairs including built-in cabinets and an imitation beam ceiling, then did it again in another house. With each succeeding move, I ended up building and remodeling whatever house we were in. I was less a hobby woodworker than a practical DIYer.
"That was not my day job. I started out as an electrical engineer, moved into engineering management, and for 15 years was a director of research and development for 3M in St. Paul, Minnesota. I retired in 1995 and decided I wanted to do something else, preferably something more interesting.
"Another hobby of mine was photography, and I was particularly taken with miniature cameras. Over the years I collected about 250 miniature cameras from all over the world. About the time I retired, I decided I had been there, done that, and soon started looking for something else, preferably miniature. At the time, I couldn't collect miniature tools because I did not know that many of them even existed, but the idea fascinated me.
"My wife and I moved to Washington state and settled in Port Ludlow in 1998, but prior to leaving Minnesota, I had set up a small shop, bought a lathe and a mill, two tools I had never had, then set out looking for something to do with them. At first I decided to make a steam engine, but after a month of working on it, I concluded that this would be a two-year project. I just don't have the patience for that, so instead, I started making miniature hand planes.
"The first one, a copy of a Norris plane done in steel, turned out OK, and I was hooked. Next came a larger brass version of the same Norris plane, with more of the original details copied. At that point, a rather significant thing happened. I saw an article about a tool miniaturist named Paul Hamler, and I called him and explained what I was doing. He talked to me for at least an hour. After that, I sent him photos of the two planes I had built and asked for his observations. The first thing he advised was that I pick one particular scale and stick with it, preferably the most common one. I did just that, and my subsequent miniatures are almost all in the same scale. Over the ensuing years, Paul has become both a friend and a mentor, often helping with any questions I had in our shared field. He's a real gentleman.
"After a recent tool show, I decided to make 15 miniature Holtzapffel bow drills, potentially to sell, and 15 miniature copies of a Windsor hand beader. The beader is based on a patent from 1885 for a tool designed to cut beads onto the edge of wood. A circular cutting blade with several different profiles on it can be rotated to choose which bead shape you want. The cutter can be positioned relative to a small fence to create the step-back for the bead. In order to copy it accurately, I bought an original at auction. I often buy tools to copy, then sell the originals once I've made the miniature copy.
"One of my favorite pieces is an engraver's ball, meant to hold a watch for engraving. The ball allows the jeweler to hold and rotate the object to make it easier to work on. I found it on eBay, bought it and copied it in miniature. There are 16 different parts in this seemingly simple tool, and some of the ultra-fine threads were a real challenge. The main knob has both left- and right-hand threads to make the jaws come toward one another when it is turned.
"The tiny bow saw was the first piece I made after buying a CNC (computer numerically controlled) mill. With it I could turn out a dozen frames in an hour and a half. However, if I could only show someone one tool, it would be my small geared drill, often called an eggbeater drill in this country. It has style, movement and an interesting texture that looks like it just came out of a casting. I do that by blasting it with glass beads through a miniature sandblasting kit.
"I think miniatures are wonderful, and not just in the area of tools. To develop an eye and think about what it takes to authentically scale something down offers a lot of challenge, yet demands very little in the way of supplies. In all my tool making, I have probably used less than one board foot of lumber.
"Making miniatures provides me with a collection of tools that spans the Victorian timeframe with a variety that demonstrates the art of the tool maker at that time. As we moved on, tools became really basic and functional, but in that one period, from 1830 to 1900, there was more style and art in tool making. That's the period I copy."
John points out one more perk to his hobby that is especially enviable for those of us struggling to find space for all the gear we've collected.
"I can store my whole representative collection," he reports, "in one modestly sized case that sits in the dining room."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- More details have been uncovered about the man allegedly looking at child porn at a Louisville public library branch.
On Monday morning Mark Brown, 37, faced a judge after police arrested him Sunday night at the Bon Air Branch Library.
We've learned that Brown is a convicted sex offender who previously worked in positions of trust...as a teacher, a teacher's assistant and a camp counselor.
While he was on parole, police say he obtained child pornography and looked at it in front of dozens of people at the Bon Air Library.
A convicted child predator is now back behind bars.
Mark Louis Brown was arrested for allegedly bringing a thumb drive containing child pornography into the Bon Air Library.
"He was using a computer that's used for word processing and for looking things up in the library," said Louisville Library Director Craig Buthod. "It's in an area that's in view of library staff were paying attention."
It wasn't Brown's first arrest on sex charges.
He was charged with 19 felony sex counts involving two teenage boys in 2004, when Brown was a special education teacher's aid at Atherton High School.
His court record indicates he also worked as a teacher at The Friends School and as a counselor at a boys camp.
Brown gave the boys at Atherton High School money and bought them presents in exchange for the boys participating in sex acts.
He described the relationship to WHAS11 news at the time.
"From my point of view, we maintained an intimate relationship for a year and a half," Brown said.
Both victims told police Brown belonged in jail.
One boy even said he was "depressed to the point of suicide" and "scarred forever."
"If they contact me and for some reason need my presence in their lives, I'll be then glad to keep it going," Brown said in 2004.
Brown pleaded guilty to those crimes.
"I pledge to you that I will not involve myself in a situation again in which a boy or anyone suffers because of me," Brown said at his September 2004 sentencing hearing.
Brown was released in 2010 after serving only 5 years, 3 months of a 16-year sentence.
"It's the world we live in today. It doesn't surprise me anymore," said library patron Tyler Whitaker.
Brown lives with his parents at their east end home,. two blocks from an apartment complex with a playground and dozens of children.
Nobody answered the door when WHAS11 went to the home. We asked Brown for another interview , but he declined our request.
Brown is due back in court on October 11.

ISLM Model
Definition of 'ISLM Model'
A macroeconomic model that graphically represents two intersecting curves, called the IS and LM curves. The investment/saving (IS) curve is a variation of the income-expenditure model incorporating market interest rates (demand for this model), while the liquidity preference/money supply equilibrium (LM) curve represents the amount of money available for investing (supply for this model).
Investopedia explains 'ISLM Model'
The model attempts to explain the investing decisions made by investors given the amount of money they have available and the interest rate they will receive. Equilibrium occurs when the amount of money invested equals the amount of money available for investing.

"Embracing recovery management means recognizing addiction as a chronic disease that needs to be managed over a lifetime, and providing patients with the tools they need to do that, where they are, at their specific stage in recovery."
–Janelle Wesloh, LADC/MBA
Research indicates better long-term outcomes for patients who participate in structured, post-treatment recovery programs that promote adherence to a continuing care plan, encourage commitment to a recovery lifestyle, provide on-going support and instill personal accountability.

Discover the benefits of developing personalized post-treatment support to create a bridge between the treatment experience and every-day life in a supportive community, with the goal of enhancing the durability and quality of early recovery.
Upon completion of this webinar, you will better understand:
The importance of shifting from acute care to a chronic disease management model to help patients learn to manage their disease over their lifetime.
The similarities between substance use disorders and other chronic illnesses.
Some of the key components of making a shift to a recovery management model.
A variety of tools and services that can be used in unique combinations to help engage a client for longer periods of time in order to improve outcomes.
Janelle Wesloh (LADC/MBA) has been in the addictions field for 23 years. She has held many roles at Hazelden, including counselor, electronic medical record designer, and privacy officer.

Feeling rushed, out of control, and overwhelmed? Feeling like you can't keep up...and can't stop? It's not just you. From the need to be constantly connected and the changing definition of "work hours," to unrealistic expectations of instant gratification, our bodies and brains are being harmed by habits that, as with any kind of addiction, promise short-term satisfaction while doing long-term damage.

Having a Self and Having a God
Many recovering people say, "I have a spiritual program, but I'm not religious," but that's the end of the discussion instead of the beginning. Brain science can now tell us, with great clarity, what the problem of addiction is, but many of us remain vague about the spiritual solution of recovery. This program is about the opportunity to define ourselves as recovering people and to make a commitment to God, and to God's will for our lives, while admitting that we cannot accurately define God.

"If you hadnt entered the World War we would have made peace with Germany early in 1917. Had we made peace then there would have been no collapse in Russia followed by communism, no break-down in Italy followed by fascism, and Germany would not have signed the Versailles Treaty, which has enthroned nazi-ism in Germany. In other words, if America had stayed out of the war all of these isms wouldnt today be sweeping the Continent of Europe and breaking down parliamentary government, and if England had made peace early in 1917, it would have saved over 1,000,000 British, French, American, and other lives."
