Decayed Boat
There are many of these decayed boats in rural areas of Newfoundland and Labrador. A sad reminder of a disappearing way of life with the decline in the fishery. This one is in Bacon Cove.

So, given how much I blogged and blogged last year, you would think I would have blogged about this momentous occasion by now, but no…instead I daydream about sitting in some bar furniture in Cabo San Lucas with my husband next to me and a margarita in my hand.
Instead, I have had more boxes than I can imagine in my hands and the only furniture I have sat on has been my own. I want a vacation. Not getting one anytime soon though because we BOUGHT A HOUSE.
Holy crap.
And you know what guys? There is NO RETURN POLICY. All sales final.
OHMYGOSHWHATAREWEGOINGTODO?! And the answer is nothing. And I hope this feeling passes like soon, because I hate to be awake at night second guessing our decision to become homeowners.
I had this CRAZY idea that once we moved in, I'd start removing popcorn ceilings, painting walls, replacing floors and that I'd have my perfect home by Christmas.
I am obviously crazy. But this isn't news, is it?
So for now, I am updating all of you lovely people that yes, we bought a home. No, I haven't done anything fabulous to it. In fact, we have so many big ass boxes from our washer, dryer and fridge in the garage that we can't park in it. I also have like 3 boxes that need to be unpacked in the living room that I ignore while munching on 100 calorie packs and watching my TV shows.
Clearly I have priorities.
But, I do have something great for you. Yes, you. In honor of my big purchase, I want to share with you all a lovely $45 gift certificate to CSN Stores. How can it be yours? It's simple!
You have 5* ways of entering. Please read all the details to make sure your entries count.
1.) Go over to http://www.csnstores.com/ and tell me which item would make you feel like you were on a vacation in your own home. (I need ideas!) Leave me a link to the item with your comment.
2.) Tweet the following: "@MonicaBenavidez is giving away a $45 gift cert to CSN stores at her blog: www.monicawantsit.com Check it out & enter today!" Leave me a LINK to your tweet in a separate comment.
3.) Tell me your fave tip/method of making your home feel like paradise.
4.) Give me your best (and I mean BEST) advice for being a first-time homeowner. Project idea, cleaning tips, etc. are all welcome!
5.) Tell me a place I should visit if someone were to give me $1,000 to take a 3-day vacation.
6.) Not a follower? Become a follower for a bonus entry!
Each entry MUST BE IT'S own comment. So, if you want to enter 5 times, you should be leaving 5 comments (6 comments for new followers).
Ready? Set? Go!
Winner will be announced Friday, November 5th at 1 pm CST. Tonight I am determined to get those 3 boxes unpacked. Maybe.

Come and join us for this. I know, law students – it's late in the semester. But still, it is going to be really interesting. .
What might the Canada v. Bedford decision mean for the future of sex work and sex workers in Canada? This panel will explore the litigation, the decision, and the "what next" questions around regulation and vulnerability.

Osgoode Hall Moot Court (Rm 101), York University, Keele Campus
Light refreshments will be provided. This event is wheelchair accessible.
Moderated by Professor Sonia Lawrence Director, Institute for Feminist Legal Studies at Osgoode Hall Law School
From Bedford v. Canada:
"Prostitution is not illegal in Canada. However, Parliament has seen fit to criminalize most aspects of prostitution. The conclusion I have reached is that three provisions of the Criminal Code that seek to address facets of prostitution (living on the avails of prostitution, keeping a common bawdy-house and communicating in a public place for the purpose of engaging in prostitution) are not in accord with the principles of fundamental justice and must be struck down. These laws, individually and together, force prostitutes to choose between their liberty interest and their right to security of the person as protected under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. I have found that these laws infringe the core values protected by section 7 and that this infringement is not saved by section 1 as a reasonable limit demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society."

This unusual recipe will have you asking for more
August is the hottest month for sportsmen in the South. Being the early bird is a good recipe for fishing success until a few cool mornings roll by in September and you can enjoy them in the shade or air conditioning once the day heats fully.
Meanwhile, hunters are stirring, and the whoosh of arrows splits the air heading for targets as hunters get fired up.
With Mississippi's archery season not starting until Oct .1, sportsmen can be spend lots of time stocking their freezer with flounder before the anticipated season closing. Because it's hot, they should appreciate this recipe that keeps them in the air conditioning.
This is a tasty and simple recipe for preparing flounder other than frying it. Some folks think flatfish should only be dredged through a bowl of seafood breader and dropped in a pan of 350-degree peanut oil, but this might change their minds. This recipe is about as simple as cooking gets and is a bit healthier than frying. It uses whole flounder, so they are easy to clean too. If you prefer simple recipes, this is one you should enjoy preparing and eating.
Catching the guest of honor yourself is what makes this recipe special. In August, flounder are spread from the backs of creeks, across coastal bays to nearshore rocks, shipwrecks and artificial reefs. Flounder are chewing, too, especially later in the month after a couple of cool mornings and the finger mullet begin heading towards the ocean. One of those finger mullet pegged on a Carolina rig should attract a healthy flatfish.
Broiled Flounder with Buttery Parmesan Sauce
I realize many folks consider me a little off-kilter since I freely admit that flounder aren't one of my favorite fish. They're okay, but I prefer fish with a more-robust flavor. Don't think I don't eat them; I do, but I look at things to add or bring out flavor and this is one of those recipes. It isn't strong or spicy, but steps up the mild flavor of flounder so even a old sea dog like me enjoys it.
I don't remember who gave me this recipe; it might have been one of our Alaskan friends offering a way to cook halibut without drying it out. It worked there, and the mixture has a good taste, so I began looking for other fish to use it on. Flounder look the most like halibut, just a whole lot smaller, and they have a similar mild taste, so they were the first we tried. It worked too.
Even small halibut fillets are thick, so we decided to try it with whole, pan-size flounder; It would probably also work well with fillets from a larger flounder. We score the flounder to give the sauce places to penetrate. My wife and I have different preferences for lemon in recipes, and we settled on two tablespoons as a medium flavor. You can add a little or use less to suit your personal tastes. Two tablespoons also happens to be about what you get from a fresh lemon. Warming the lemon for 20 to 25 seconds in a microwave helps get its juices flowing and makes it easier to get the juice.
If you would prefer to add the pepper in the sauce, feel free to do it. Begin with a half teaspoon and add it slowly. I like to add it on top of the sauce so I can see how much I'm adding. I think it gives a better visual presentation this way too. I don't use any salt, but some folks don't eat without it. My suggestion is to try some sea salt or Himalayan salt in a grinder.
The cheese sauce is mild and can't be added until the flounder is almost cooked. It will brown quickly and scorch if left unchecked for very long. This is the only real diligent part of this recipe, and it passes quickly. Keep a close watch, and as soon as the sauce begins to brown, remove the flounder from the oven. It will go from browning to scorched very quickly, so pay attention for this step.
With the flounder out, give it a minute or two for its juices to stabilize and serve it while it's hot. Enjoy!
- 1 whole flounder (approximately 2-3 pounds)
- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
- Coarse ground black pepper
- Buttery flavor, non-stick cooking spray
- Aluminum foil
Scale the flounder and remove internals, head and tail. Score the dark side of the flounder several times, both vertically and lengthwise. Score the white side of the flounder a couple of times vertically and horizontally.
Cover a baking or cookie pan with aluminum foil and spray with non stick spray. Preheat the oven to broil. Place the flounder on the foil in the pan, dark side up. Broil the flounder on a middle rack for 6 to 8 minutes until it is beginning to flake.
Remove flounder from oven. Spoon on and spread the buttery parmesan sauce well on the dark side of the flounder. Sprinkle or grind black pepper on the flounder. Return the flounder to the oven and broil for approximately 1 to 2 minutes, or until the buttery cheese sauce begins to brown.
Remove the flounder from the oven and allow to set for a couple of minutes. Serve the flounder while it is still warm and the buttery cheese sauce is soft.
This is a light summer meal that can easily be prepared inside, in the air conditioning, during the hottest part of the summer. It uses the mild flavor of flounder for its base and adds a little zip with the butter, lemon and pepper, but it does not approach spicy. This was served with some baked mushrooms and onions and a combination of fresh green beans and asparagus. Chilled rice pudding is an excellent dessert.

What should I wear for my professional head shot?
Corporate Head shots:
For men, we recommend something with a collar. This can be a dress shirt and/or suit jacket. Ties add a nice touch but nothing too flashy unless it's ok to let some of your personality fly. Dark colors with minimal design is always best for a successful head shot
For women, a nice collared shirt or blouse is preferable. Jackets are nice as well but not necessary. Jewelry is nice but keep it minimal. No flashy earrings or necklaces. Also stick to darker colors with final pattern.
Actor/ Model Head shots:
Be ready to bring your personality! Depending on the type of jobs you are looking will depend on your look. A fresh face and hair is great. Talent scouts want to be able to see the canvas they will be working with.

In a move that has sent the industry and fashion community in a state of frenzy, Louis Vuitton has named Virgil Abloh, the 37-year-old founder of the elevated luxe-streetwear brand Off-White, as its new artistic director of menswear.
Abloh will present his first collection for the storied French house in June during men's fashion feek in Paris. He succeeds Kim Jones, who held the position for seven years and now oversees menswear at fellow LVMH-owned brand Christian Dior. Nicolas Ghesquiere will stay on as artistic director of women's collections.
Although Abloh's name has been floating around in fashion circles as a likely candidate for the top spot that's been vacant since January, news of the announcement sent shockwaves throughout social media late Sunday night, with many users expressing their excitement at the prospects of what Abloh could bring to such a venerable European institution.

Poetry and business — what's that about?
As the famous poet Robert Graves wrote, 'There's no money in poetry, but then there's no poetry in money, either'.
Then the even more famous poet Wallace Stevens wrote, 'Money is a kind of poetry'.
Creative problem-solving
As it happens, Wallace Stevens was also the vice president of an insurance company. He composed his poems on his walk to work every morning, dictated them to his secretary when he got to the office, and then he'd spend the rest of his working day making money.
'Poetry is the right words in the right order'. Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Poetry is the art of concision, observation, and persuasion. It's the art of paying attention to detail, and seeing possibilities. Above all it's a tool for problem-solving — for the reader, 'what is the world like?', and for the writer, 'how do I persuade the reader?' In short, it can be an amazing business asset.
Use the toolbox
All good writing uses the same tools. Poetry is the ultimate art of getting the most possible out of that toolbox. It's being compelling with words. It's creating an image — your mission, your goal, the change you seek to create — with just a whisper. It's clarity and emotional investment. A successful poem doesn't tell you how the poet felt, it makes you feel it.
That's what advertising does, too.
When I started writing poetry again, after a long gap of years, I very quickly realised that my professional writing was also getting better. I was more aware of filler words. I was avoiding clichés. I had a better sense of how to tell the story. I was trying harder to make the reader feel the message.
A way of happening
A poem is a thing someone made. It's human. Even the word 'poem' originally mean 'made thing'. Poets are the original makers, and making things is something I am (to use the jargon) really passionate about.
'Poetry' — as WH Auden wrote — 'is a way of happening'.
Whatever you make — whether it's doodads and thingummies, or solar doodads and thingummies, or more literate children — I care about it, and I can help you tell the stories of what you do.
If you'd like to know more about how poetry can be a tool for your daily business, get in touch and we can talk.
I can also deliver a talk or workshop to your staff, your management team, or your board.

"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them."

It didn't work the first time and it likely won't the second time.

BAAPET 5 FT Strong Dog Leash
If you have a mighty four-legged puller at home, you'll want to use only the strongest and toughest dog leash available. As such, BAAPET's Strong Dog Leash is an excellent choice. This dog leash boasts of a material that outdoor junkies rely on in the harshest environments. The BAAPET Dog Leash provides pet parents exceptional control of their hounds, regardless of how strong it can be.
What makes the BAAPET so admirable is the use of half-inch thick rock-climbing rope. This is the kind of material that mountaineers and professional climbers use to scale the world's most treacherous mountains. This underscores the BAAPET's strength and durability. Such a material can hold the weight of a full-sized man complete with his mountaineering gear. As such, it's an excellent choice for massive dogs.
When you compare the BAAPET to other dog leashes, this one comes with a very thick cord. While there are thicker cords that are up to an inch thick, they do not come with a rock-climbing rope material. This gives the BAAPET exceptional strength.
But then, this thick and super-strong cord would be nothing if its hardware is of mediocre quality. As such, BAAPET guarantees that the metal clasp is much bigger and more solid than conventional leash clasps. You can bet that this hardware will never snap. It will secure your dog's D-ring like the carabiners of mountaineers.
With the extra-thick cord of the BAAPET, it is easy to think that it will not be comfortable to hold. Well, BAAPET has this covered, too. The handle of the dog leash already features soft padding to make it easy and comfy to hold. You'll never complain of rope burns on your palms. Unlike other dog leashes, the cushion on the BAAPET's handle covers the entire length of the handle. That's a full 13 inches of soft and comfortable handle for you.
The dog leash comes with the right length of 5 feet for better control without restricting your pet's movements so much. The cord itself also comes with reflective threads to make it easier to see the cord in the night. This is ideal for pet parents who love walking their dogs before calling it a day.
The BAAPET Dog Leash is an extra-strong dog restraint system that utilizes premium mountaineering material. It strikes a balance between a dog's freedom of movement and a pet parent's optimum control.

Farewell 2018 and Happy New Year!
Above Photo Credit: Anny Photography
We are thrilled to share our top nine Instagram photos from this year. It's been such a great year at Shadow Creek and these photos represent just that as we look forward to a new year. In 2019 we will celebrate Shadow Creek's 5th birthday! This milestone feels both special and surreal as it seems like we just opened our doors yesterday. As with any vision, it was our hope that by building Shadow Creek, couples would find their perfect venue to host large weddings, unaffected by the weather, with the warm welcome of a barn and beautiful Loudoun County views. We have seen this space transform time and time again, taking on the vision of our couples with each event, thanks to the talented vendors who come through our doors. Since we opened, we have hosted over 500 weddings, heard amazing love stories, and made long-lasting friendships with so many of our talented vendors. We have continued to add to the property with: a Bluestone patio for ceremonies, sliding doors on the patio for the winter, permanent firepit, and landscaping details. Shadow Creek is a huge part of our family and we love sharing it with others.
In 2019 we are looking forward to hosting many beautiful weddings (including our daughter Leah's) and celebrating our 5th birthday, but before we leave 2018, we had to share some special details and moments we won't forget.
Leah and Rob got engaged!

With the deadline to apply to HackCville's start-up trips soon approaching, we sat down with the two women leading the trips to learn more about why they love what they do.
Meet Kavya Ravikanti. She's a third-year studying computer science, and this year, she's the Startup Trips Director for HackCville. In the past, she's also ran the San Francisco Startup Trip and helped lead the NYC Startup Trip. Kavya loves listening to podcasts, talking about Marvel movies, and watching HGTV.
Why are you the Director of Trips for HackCville?
Kavya: I love what trips can do for students at UVA — both those attending them and those working on the team. Seriously, I know that sounds like a cliché answer, but I joined trips team since I wanted to continue being a part of HackCville and I loved to travel. I had no idea what trips really entailed before that, and I had never been on a start-up trip before that. I loved that I was thrown into the role because it has been an incredibly rewarding experience. From learning how to do sales calls for the first time to getting people at companies like Pixar to respond to my emails to leading a trip to San Francisco, I have learned something new at every step. Now leading and managing a team of 4 awesome trip managers and 19 kickass coordinators, I get to work with some of the most talented people at UVA and we all get to put our crazy ideas into bringing these trips to life.
What is your favorite memory from your first trip?
When I was leading the social entrepreneurship track in NYC, we had just returned from a long day of company visits and the alumni mixer and I remember sitting in the hotel lobby and talking to one of my friends who was also on the trip. I said something along the lines of, "There are literally a million different routes to success and there's no one right way." After visiting companies like Purpose, Acumen, and The Vesey Foundation and even hearing from a college dropout, I had this reassuring feeling that I truly did not have to have everything figured out at that moment. As someone who is a definitive Type A life planner, that moment was so comforting but also mind-blowing. Meeting and seeing first-hand the successful self-made entrepreneurs that day, I knew I had the ability to shape my future how I saw fit. So when I say that the trips can be life changing, I am telling the truth.
How do Trips stand out as a part of HackCville?
I think Trips are a unique experience that HackCville offers to students. We spend our whole lives up until the end of college studying and right after graduation we have this notion to go out into the "real world" –but what does that even look like? We only ever hear about big name companies as places to work but don't hear much about smaller companies and startups. Large companies are awesome, but there's a whole world of opportunities we don't often aren't aware of in college. So many students come back from a trip actually feeling like that the unique, niche, dream job that they have in their heads can be a reality. Trips directly connect students to companies of all sizes and show them what working and living in cities around the country looks like. Actually visiting people in their places of work and experiencing the cities first hand is an unmatched experience. The best part about Trips is that they are open to the entire UVA community, which is a great way for anyone to connect with HackCville!
Meet Alekhya Peruri. She's a third-year from Ashburn, Virginia studying Cognitive Science and Economics, and this semester, she's the DC Trips Manager.
Tell me a little bit about yourself.
Alekhya: I'm on a pre-med track, but am trying to explore all the possible ways to get involved in healthcare whether that be from exploring startups through HackCville or by being a part of the HERA initiative (which aims to spread education about reproductive rights). While I love being busy with school during the week, I make sure to explore all the Charlottesville has to offer on the weekends. I absolutely love going to football games in the Fall and taking hikes with friends. I love doing work at the plethora of coffee shops around UVa and getting to meet new people!
Why do you think that people should apply to a HC Trip this semester?
Trips are an amazing experience to explore the non-traditional career path that is becoming more and more popular. Students have the opportunity to emerge themselves in start-up culture and meet influential entrepreneurs along the way. To me, DC is super special because it's so close to Charlottesville and a place where students can imagine spending their futures. DC is always thought of as a governmental or corporate area, but it has a lot of hidden opportunity.
So… what did you learn? What kinds of skills do you have now because of HackCville?
Throughout these trips, one of the biggest takeaways has been how welcoming and accepting entrepreneurs can be. Many of those who have started their own companies have gone through a lot to get to where they are now. They've tried out many areas and have now found their true passion. I love that they say it's okay for us to not know exactly what we're doing.
How did the start-up trip change the way you viewed the world?
Start-up trips have changed the way I view the world because there is so much more it has offer. It is always comforting to be a part of an established company out of college, but entering the entrepreneurial world allows for a lot more freedom.

The film focuses on Emily Eden (Melanie Griffith), a tough New York cop with a knack for shooting first and asking questions later. When her latest bust ends up landing her partner/lover with a knife in his back, she is assigned a missing person case. The young man who is missing is a Hasidic Jew. When Emily shows up to speak with the Rebbe of the Hasidic community (Lee Richardson) she is, of course, wearing a very high skirt and throwing around lots of sailor talk…just in case you hadn't figured out that there was going to be a big "fish-out-of-water" plotline.
Sidney Lumet has directed some great films! He did "12 Angry Men," "Serpico," and "Network." He had to have seen that Griffith's performance was…well…worthy of the Razzie Award it would earn. Sad to say, the film was entered in the 1992 Cannes Film Festival, where it received a very negative response. Lumet even made changes before it's theatrical run, but apparently the film couldn't be salvaged. He does do some good things visually, but it's not enough to save it from a weak and predictable plot. Perhaps "Witness with celebrity Scientologists" will turn out better.

Recently been rejected for a job? Chances are you're feeling deflated and your self-confidence has taken a hit. No one likes to deal with rejection, and it's perfectly normal to feel upset. The key is to prevent your feelings from defining you, and hurting your efforts on the job hunt. Finding a new job can be an exhausting process, so learning how to cope with rejection will play a critical role in helping you land your dream role!
Expand your focus
What are you going to do if you don't get the job? That's one of the most important questions to ask yourself before you even submit an application. Never treat any job like it's the be-all and end-all. Putting all your eggs in one basket is more likely to lead to disappointment. Instead, be flexible and expand your search. By sending out as many applications as possible, you will maximize your chances of finding the perfect job for you..
Cultivate your confidence
Don't allow anyone else to establish your worth. There are a multitude of reasons why your application may be rejected, so don't get yourself stuck in the mindset that it's because you're incapable. Define your own self-worth. Recognize your strengths and what you're capable of providing to whoever will be fortunate enough to hire you. A rejection shouldn't dictate your opinion of yourself, and a defeatist attitude will only hurt your efforts. So make sure to cultivate your confidence!
Don't dwell
Don't dwell on rejection, particularly if you're turned down more than once. Remember that there may many reasons why the employer didn't pick you for the role, from filling the position internally to assuming your personality and the office culture aren't the best fit. Treat each job application as a different experience. Keep yourself out of the failure mindset and recognize each attempt as a separate effort rather than a combined dismissal.
Constantly improve your approach
If you've had multiple applications rejected, perhaps the problem is not you. It's simply your application. If your current application isn't working for you, review it and amend it to suit the particular job you are applying for. Maybe your cover letter is too generic, or there are valuable experiences you can add to enhance your employability.
Be better with following up
Your follow up could be taking you down a notch as well. Being rejected can make us feel desperate or disillusioned, and these aren't qualities sought after in the job market. If you give a follow up call too soon, the potential employer may perceive you as anxious and unsure of yourself. Too late, and they may believe you didn't take the job seriously. For future applications, wait approximately one business week to follow up, and speak with a neutral and calm tone.
Wear a brave face
You got rejected. So what? Dozens if not hundreds of people applied, and with the exception of one applicant, the remaining hopefuls were all rejected. You're not the only one in that boat, and other people are going to have to continue their search just like you will. They'll find jobs, and you will too. Being inhibited by the fear of rejection isn't going to get you anywhere. When you're trying to get people to take your seriously, it's important to brave it and not show any insecurities or that you're feeling dejected by a knock back.
Distract yourself
You don't need to punish yourself. While on your job hunt, make sure you take time to do the things that you love. Avoiding opportunities to get out and have fun will only diminish your spirits. Give yourself plenty of rewards to look forward to so you can create a balance in your life and have stable points of positivity.
How do you cope with difficult rejections? Got any tips or hints? If you've learnt any valuable lessons during your job search, leave a comment below so that others can learn from your experiences!

Client Efforts Can Help Save Money on Divorce
Legal fees can accumulate when you are going through your divorce. For each meeting you hold and legal action you request, your divorce attorney will add work hours to your bill. Attorneys are a necessary expense during a divorce because their legal knowledge is irreplaceable. Trying to handle your divorce on your own could be more expensive because of the hours you would need to devote to it and the risk of making mistakes. Still, some clients incur unnecessary legal expenses during their divorces. There are ways to save money on your divorce while still having high-quality legal representation.
Be Prepared
There are certain financial details that any divorce attorney will need to know before you start negotiations. When you do not provide the information yourself, your attorney will spend many billable hours researching that information. You can save your attorney time and yourself money by coming to your initial divorce meeting with:
- Current statements for your financial accounts;
- A list of key marital properties;
- A list of business interests held by yourself or your spouse; and
- Details on any unique financial circumstances that may affect your negotiations.
It is also important to mentally prepare for your first meeting with your divorce attorney. Come with a list of questions for your attorney, and be ready to answer your attorney's questions about what you want from your divorce settlement. Scheduling a follow-up meeting because you were not prepared for your first meeting will cost you more money.
Be Reasonable
High-conflict divorces are more expensive than amicable divorces because they take longer. Your attitude towards your spouse and the divorce negotiations can help make the process faster and more efficient:
- Encourage an open exchange of information so that your attorney will not need to use formal discovery to obtain documents from your spouse;
- Save your arguments for the properties and issues that are more important to you and come to a quick solution on the others; and
- Try to remain calm and unemotional during negotiations to avoid arguments that will sidetrack you from your objectives.
Your spouse's behavior is the unknown variable entering the negotiations. Even if you believe he or she will likely be difficult to negotiate with, you should start with the hope of having amicable negotiations. Do not be the one to initiate hostilities, and try to defuse them when they do occur without compromising your goals.
Wise Investment
The money you spend on legal fees during your divorce can pay off if you receive a favorable divorce settlement. A McHenry County divorce attorney at Botto Gilbert Lancaster, PC, can help you negotiate a divorce agreement that gives you financial stability for years to come. Schedule a free consultation by calling 815-338-3838.

Shipyards to Close
I have blogged on the topic of defence cuts.
Many others in the blogosphere have done the same.
Gordon Brown is potentially doing a U-turn on Trident.
The Army and the Navy are fighting amongst themselves.
But at the end of the day its the troops that suffer due to the Gordon Browns complete mis management of the countries finances and also his complete lack of credability as a P.M.
But finally a leaked memo surfaces.
Govan and Scotstoun yards could close within decade as Ministry of Defence prepares to scale down UK capacity for building warships
The long-term future of two British shipyards was today thrown into doubt after a leaked memo reportedly revealed plans which could see them close them within a decade.
Reports claim the memo was sent from the chief executive of the Govan and Scotstoun yards, in Glasgow, to senior executives at owners BVT Surface Fleet, which also has an operation in Portsmouth, Hampshire.
The memo is reported to reveal that the Ministry of Defence is willing to finance redundancies in order to scale down Britain's capacity for building warships.
It is also said to show the BVT Surface Fleet chief executive, Alan Johnston, forecasting savings of up to £0.5bn from the closure of two out of the three yards after the contract for two aircraft carriers ends in 2014.
A BVT spokesman said he could "not deny" that a memo existed, but added that the company was not expecting to close any facilities in the "foreseeable" future.
"As a business, we plan for all sorts of scenarios, both good and bad," he added.
"BVT Surface Fleet has a solid order book for the next seven to eight years and is in the strongest position that the shipbuilding industry in the UK has seen for a generation.
"As part of its prudent long-term planning, it considers a broad range of options, including worst case scenario planning.
"However, it is also planning for and confident in an extremely positive outlook."
A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence said it had "been in discussion with the shipbuilding industry over the opportunities for long-term partnering arrangements which incentivise industry to drive down costs".
"Negotiations with industry partners are still ongoing and no decisions have been taken," the spokesman added. "Therefore, it would be inappropriate to comment further."
Tavish Scott, the leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats, called on the government to "immediately end the uncertainty surrounding the future of naval shipyards on the Clyde".
"They cannot leave hard working men and woman high and dry without knowing their future," he said.
"The government must make an urgent statement on this potentially devastating news for Scotland."
Nicola Sturgeon, the MSP for Govan and Scotland's deputy first minister, said: "These reports will cause deep concern among the workforce and communities on the Clyde.
"I will be contacting BVT to demand assurances over their commitment to the Clyde yards and the long term future of Scotland's shipbuilding expertise."
BVT Surface Fleet, which was created in early 2008, brings together the surface warship building operations of BAE Systems and the VT Group, including their joint venture, Fleet Support Limited.
Its is our defence, our protection, and the lives of our service people who are at risk.
Coupled with the 1000's of employees who work supporting the various arms of the defence industry.
Again the lies the spin, the party of the people, the party of improving services, the party best to lead us out of the recession again shows it utter contempt for the UK as a whole.

Putting My Mouth Where My Money Is: Setting A Fair Rate & Sticking To It!
I wrote recently about drawing lines when it comes to money in freelancing. And, today, I had to put those brave words into practice.
Today, I sent off a well-formed quote to a potential client.
As a freelancer, I have a history of erring on the side of self-doubt, which often left me working hard for not much pay.
That's not a fun place to be in, ever. Seasoned freelancers know that charging fair rates — fair to both you and the client — is one of the biggest hurdles to get over when learning how to operate your business.
I spoke to a long-time freelancer friend last year who does graphic design. She's GREAT at it. She'd been working in the industry as a freelancer twice as long as I had been at the time we talked, maybe even longer, and she admitted she still undercharged clients on a regular basis. We vowed to keep one another in line when it came to charging properly for our services.
I didn't really work — I mean, it did at first, but the novelty of having a money angel on my shoulder soon wore off and I went back to my old habits of undercharging.
But, now, I've finally come to the stage in my career where I'm taking myself seriously. Seriously.
You see, I wrote those articles in April for ME as much as I did for YOU.
I needed someone on my side who wasn't distracted by a client's dangling carrot, the job that I "could" have but maybe wouldn't because "What if I charged too much?"
I needed a voice of reason, spoken from a place of neutrality, to bring me back to center.
I knew what I knew, but I was hesitant to apply that knowledge whenever it came time to actually tell clients what I wanted to charge. Instead, I'd doubt myself (again) and fall into the trap of bidding what I thought my clients wanted me to charge.
Stupid. I know.
So I read a ton of blogs on how to bill clients, how to estimate a job, about how undervaluing your work actually does more harm than good… I read a LOT on the subject, but I still didn't want to take the leap.
I was still afraid. Why?
We live in an age of cheapness. As a culture, we love discounts, sales, clearances, coupons, and finding the lowest price. Paying full price is thrown around like a status symbol — "Oh, look what I could afford!" — whereas buying something for a discounted rate is, for the rest of us Scrooges, something to brag about.
However, as thrifty consumers, we also know that the lowest price doesn't always equal the best value and can so often mean less-than-mediocre work,
Sending that quote out today was uncomfortable, yes, but only because I'd been drastically undercharging clients for far too long.
What does drastically undercharging look like?
Undercharging looks like a my fresh-out-of-high-school, year-2000-minimum-wage (that is, $7.50/hour), even though I have a Bachelor's Degree, four years of experience, and multiple projects and happy clients under my belt.
Undercharging looks like Textbroker basics (500 word articles for $5 each) on a full-time basis, as a necessity and not as a supplement when I'm bored or a quick daily writing exercise to get my brain warmed up.
Ultimately, undercharging looks like making myself look cheap and my work look cheap because I've mentally displayed it on the discount rack instead of front and center, on a fancy end cap, with the premium goods.
I am not a low-end writer.
There's a market for low-cost writers who'll pop out content for pennies on the proverbial dollar just like there's a market for discount clothes, tech equipment, and kitchen tools. Heck, I used to be in that market when I was just starting out, needing experience over money.
But I'm not in that market anymore.
Now I'm here to provide quality goods at a fair price. Yes, my clients may have to come to expect bigger numbers on the bill, but they'll also notice the quality I provide is worth it. Unless they aren't looking to spend the money…
In which case, I'll suggest they find someone on a freelance brokerage site like Upwork, Textbroker, or others where there are plenty of discount writers available for hire at discount rates.
What are your experiences with pricing your work as a freelancer? Join the conversation here or on Facebook.

Islam is off-limits for us, say brothers Jake and Dinos Chapman
There is an article in the new
Magazine by Douglas Murray, not available on-line introducing a publication by the Centre for Social Cohesion, of which he is co-author and available shortly, entitled Social Jihad. This is to deal with the subject of censorship by intimidation across Europe. He mentions people like Ben Elton, who said of the BBC "they will let Vicar gags pass but not imam gags", and Grayson Perry the potter who admitted he will not attack Islam because he doesn't want his throat cut. He also mentions other artists who are unknown outside their own countries. He can add (he may have done so already in the book) the Chapman brothers.
From the Telegraph.
Desperate to flaunt their "bravery" with their controversial depictions of Jews suffering in concentration camps and highly sexualised images of children, the artists Jake and Dinos Chapman have admitted to Mandrake that there is one subject area that remains off-limits.
Jake says they would not be prepared to touch Islam.
"It's a very difficult and sensitive issue and we wouldn't see it in our remit," he said at the private view of If Hitler Had Been a Hippy How Happy Would We Be at the White Cube gallery.
"That makes me want to shut up about Islam. . . we don't feel we could address it."
When the headmaster of the Christian Fellowship school in Liverpool complained about the brothers' Bad Art for Bad People exhibition at Tate Liverpool, which included sexual images, scenes of violence and dismemberment, Jake threatened to "ban all Christians" from attending.
Not very impressive, only picking the targets who won't use violence.
In 2004 the Chapman Brothers' Hell sculpture
was burnt in the warehouse fire that destroyed more than 100 pieces owned by Charles Saatchi.
Jake Chapman said at the time: 'I hold God personally responsible and, on a scale of one to 10 of how annoyed I am, I'd say about 11.'

The Stevenson Volunteer Firefighters Association hopes to move forward as planned with Walking Man Brewing's 15th Annual Hoptoberfest. The event is scheduled for this Saturday, September 9th from noon to 10pm on the brewery grounds in Stevenson, WA. Partnering in early 2017, Walking Man Brewing offered to dedicate a portion of the event's proceeds to help the Association in its mission to serve the community of Stevenson. In light of the fires still threatening the Columbia River Gorge, the hope is to find needed relief and an outlook of optimism and gratitude.
"The Eagle Creek Fire has devastated the citizens in the Columbia River Gorge and those near and far that have come to appreciate and explore. Our intention is to look forward and focus on what we have over what we've lost. This event was intended as a benefit for the Fire Association Volunteers and they deserve our gratitude now more than ever. If conditions are safe, we will continue as planned," said Tabatha Wiggins, Walking Man Brewing.
The Stevenson Volunteer Firefighter's Association is an active part of the Stevenson, Washington community and is dedicated to supporting the hardworking efforts of volunteer firefighters. The goal of the Association is to offer charitable assistance to victims of fire or disaster in the community, to support our local firefighters, and provide scholarships to Skamania County students.
"The Stevenson Fire Association is our main conduit for donations that go toward fire hardships, medical loss and scholarships. We appreciate Walking Man hosting an event to help the Association with their efforts," said Rob Farris, Stevenson Fire Chief.
This year's Hoptoberfest is dedicated to the firefighters and volunteers who have put the community and its safety first and who have selflessly given their time to help. The Stevenson Volunteer Firefighters Association would like to honor these men and women.
The event is open to all ages and will feature live music and lawn games in additon to Walking Man brews, Aniche Cellars Wines and Jester & Judge Ciders. Food vendors Gorge Grub, Pork Wind & Fire and FlavorLab Gelato will be available in the festival tent. Walking Man's brewpub will be open for normal business serving their full menu of pub favorites.
For more information, please visit facebook.com/stevensonvolunteerfirefightersassociation and www.walkingmanbeer.com/hoptoberfest.
The mission of the Stevenson Volunteer Firefighters Association is to support the Stevenson Volunteer Firefighters, provide scholarships to Skamania County students, participate in community events, and offer charitable relief assistance to victims of fire or disaster in our community.

Hello Everyone (or no one, as I see I am the only thread in this forum section....)!
I have a 2007 Stampede VXL 2WD with the original motor and ESC. This is the notorious first-generation VXL-3S, where the receptors for the motor wires are soldered directly to the circuit board inside the ESC. The ESC is 2-Pole, as is the motor.
Inevitably, the receptor has de-soldered itself from the board, and the ESC is no longer functional (cogging and glitching). I tried re-soldering, but this was easier said than done, and definitely did not fix the problem long-term.
I am between a Traxxas VXL-3S (the newest one, the 3355R with exposed capacitors), a Hobbywing Max10 SCT, and a Hobbywing WP-SC8 for a replacement. I am a "basher", and like to do speed runs on the asphalt and drive through the grass. Mostly I run 2S LiPos, but sometimes 3S. My gearing is 25/83.
It is important to me that the ESC is overbuilt, as I hate bottlenecks and prefer everything to be working at 75% capacity (except the motor). This is why I am shying away from the Castle Sidewinder series....they seem like divas to me, with barely enough capacity to handle 3S and a truck approaching 6 pounds.
I have done a lot of reading and searching but most discussion has been centered on the newer versions of the Stampede VXL with the 4-pole Velineon system, particularly the 4x4 models, where the ESC and motor are in a totally different location than they are on my truck.
The cheapest option is the Hobbywing, while the most expensive is the Traxxas (unless I risk buying used).
What do you all recommend?
Thank you!
Stampede XL-1
Stampede VXL
1/16 Revo Titan 550
Ive had good luck with the Kinexis system by Horizon. This will be rebranded under ONYX starting Aug 8 apparently.
The systems cost around 130CA$ and I had a really hard time killing the motor. I tried. I put it over 200 degrees many many times. Like I said I tried to kill it. For 4 years...
The bigger bearings in the motor took a looong time to wear out and die. The ESC still works great. Runs the VXL motor nicely.
It never gets hot on 3S. I've got another on order. I like the drag brake and punch control functions and there are a few more too!

Kaptur's VET HP Act that will help bolster training for future health professionals to care for veterans passes U.S. House
Washington, D.C. – The U.S. House has passed Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur's (OH-09) bill, H.R. 2787, the Veterans-Specific Education for Tomorrow's Health Professionals (VET HP) Act. The bill would create shadowing and training opportunities for individuals entering the medical profession, including doctors, nurses, and physical therapists, who provide health care services for veterans.
"It is remarkable what we can accomplish when we work together," said Kaptur. "I am pleased and honored that this Congress is moving forward with our effort to establish a clinical observation pilot for future health professionals within the VA medical system. I thank Chairman Phil Roe and Ranking Member Tim Walz and Vice Ranking Member Mark Takano for their help and thoughtful review of this measure. Our attention now turns to the Senate where we hope our bill can receive quick review and action."
Watch Kaptur's speech during debate on the bill (click here).
As part of their admissions application, all schools for health professions either require or recommend clinical observation hours, but there is no formal process to apply for these opportunities. Students who attend schools outside major cities, as well as those whose families lack connections to the medical and health care community, face a disadvantage when looking for clinical observation hours and therefore admissions. This places an unfair burden on otherwise qualified students who lack the opportunity to shadow and who would benefit from the diverse, and often specialized, care provided in the VA health system.
The VET HP bill:
- Provides a pathway for pre-health students to gain valuable shadowing hours and levels the playing field in admissions to health professions schools;
- Creates a 3-year pilot program at no less than 5 VA hospitals or clinics that would prioritize students in health professional shortage area, first-generation college students, students referred by minority-serving institutions, and veterans;
- Prioritizes students who wish to train in health professions experiencing staffing shortage.
- Expands the pool of health providers and fosters an early awareness of the specific health care needs of veterans, potentially making a dent in the health professions shortage.

It's Azalea Festival time again this week-end at Borgo a Mozzano!
Judging from the programme it's going to be bigger and better than ever before. It's also 'biennale' which doesn't quite means that it's happening every two years instead of annually. It just means that every two years it will be extra-special. I think this is a good idea as it gives scope for better organization and more collaboration. The festival is also free. Those occasions when admission was charged were certainly not popular ones!
Here is the programme and I think even non-Italian readers can spot that there's everything, not just from Azaleas but to vintage lambrette (can't miss those) to visits to local places of interest including the gothic line and the astronomical observatory. There's also a space for a mythical Fiat 500 (Cinquina) rally so I might be driving our one up there too.
Why did Borgo a Mozzano anyway choose to have an azalea festival which is now in its thirtieth year?
It all started in 1954 when the Italian Shell petrol company wanted to give a boost to depressed agricultural communities. Their research found that Borgo's micro-climate was ideal for growing azaleas. They also found that many locals were already growing azaleas in their gardens, not for any economic reason but just because they were attractive plants to have.
It was, therefore, an easy and quick transition to persuade several farmers and gardeners to grow azaleas for a wider market.
In 1970, Borgo's first azalea show kicked off the areas' reputation for this beautiful plant. News spread fast and growers from Pescia, Pistoia, Montecatini, Pontedera and Pietrasanta were also invited to the occasion. Local schools children contributed with their own drawings and exhibitions.
Among the pioneers of the Azalea festival it's worth mentioning the names of early exhibitors Liliana, Clementina Micheli, Anna "the azaleas' Mum", Gloria Fazzi, Carola Lotti, Paola Pellegrini, Ario Bandoni, Uliana Pellegrini, Silva Benedetti, Giuseppina Pardini, Brigitta Papera and many other lovers of this plant.
After the first azalea festival success, Italy's Agricultural Research Center helped all those willing to cultivate this plant and species were improved and new ones hybridized
Since then it's been literally a growing success story which has also stimulated tourism and agriculture in the region and given an international standing to a town once hardly known outside the Lucchesia.
The festival forms part of the Lucchesia's green network which also includes the following garden festivals, all well known to visitors to our area. They comprise: the Ancient Camellias of the Compitese, and the two major Lucca garden festivals: Murabilia and Verdemura.
Here are some photos from the Azalea festival in Borgo we attended in 2009:
Something about azaleas (which in Italian have the stress on the 'e' so here they are pronounced 'azalèa' instead of English 'azàlea'):
Azaleas form part of the ericaceous family, a species which dates back seventy million years! They are related to rhododendrons and are now classified in the same family (azalea lovers in Wales beware!) Most azaleas we see are descendants from Asian shrubs where they were originally cultivated by Buddhist monks in their monastery gardens. By the late seventeenth century azaleas had reached the west.
The azalea is also Nepal's national flower. It's frequently mentioned in Tang Chinese poetry. For example, Bai Juyi, a Tang Dynasty poet born in 772 A.D., loved azaleas and planted them in his garden mentioning them in one of his poems as "a beauty amidst all flowers."
In Japan azaleas are also very popular and are divided into those that flower thirty days after the spring equinox (Tsutsuji) and those that flower about sixty days later (Satsuki).
There is a Chinese legend that states that a long time ago a king was assassinated and turned into a cuckoo. Because of the king's vicious death, the cuckoo sang so loudly and intensely that blood poured out from its bill. In our part of the world April is when the first cuckoo is heard, so maybe there is truly a relationship between hearing the first cuckoo in the spring and those azalea with blood-red blooms.
Anyway, enjoy your azaleas whether you are in Nepal, China, Japan, the UK or even at Borgo a Mozzano!
Meanwhile here's one of ours:
