The day I visited Portland Bill was on the 15th October 2017. Sadly it was not a very clear day and fairly dull. Hence I did not manage to get the sunny, spectacular views you can normally get from the very top of this Bill. I did, however, return on the 1st May and on the 24th May 2018. Portland is thought of as an island although this isn’t wholly correct in the true sense of the word as it’s reached over a causeway along, what is known as Chesil Beach. Just 4 miles long by a mile and a half wide at its broadest point, this plate of Jurassic limestone is tilted from north to south. This means that if you are on the elevated northern side of the island you are rewarded with stunning views across the Chesil, Portland Harbour & Weymouth.
Portland Bill is a narrow piece of land ( or bill ) at the southern end of the Isle of Portland, and the southernmost point of Dorset. One of Portland's most popular destinations, the popular attraction Portland Bill Lighthouse is found here. The surrounding coast of Portland, namely Portland Bill and Chesil Beach, have been notorious for the many vessels that became shipwrecked in the area over the centuries. The dangerous coastline, which features shallow reefs and the Shambles sandbank, was proven more hazardous due to the strong tidal race is known as the Portland Race. The Bill is still an important way point for coastal traffic, and three lighthouses have been built to protect shipping, in particular from its strong tidal race and shallow reef. The original two lighthouses guided vessels around the coast from 1716, until they were replaced in 1906 by the current lighthouse.
Overlooking Portland Harbour in Dorset stands one of Henry VIII’s finest coastal forts, built in the early 1540’s to protect against the French and Spanish invasion. Portland Castle was built as a consequence of international tensions between England, France and the Holy Roman Empire in the final years of the reign of King Henry VIII. Traditionally the Crown had left coastal defences to the local lords and communities, only taking a modest role in building and maintaining fortifications, and while France and the Empire remained in conflict with one another, maritime raids were common but an actual invasion of England seemed unlikely. Today it provides a great day out for visitors and its audio tour, included in the admission price, tells of the castle’s 450-year history and the part it played in the First and Second World Wars. Portland Castle offers lots to do for families and couples alike, and only four miles from Weymouth, this historic adventure can easily be combined with some more contemporary seaside fun.
Church Ope Cove is located on the Isle of Portland in Dorset. The beach consists of soft limestone pebbles ( although they do feel pretty hard to walk on ) and is surrounded by cliffs on three sides which provide shelter from the often strong breeze in the area. As the beach faces south, it is also something of a sun trap throughout the day. Here, it is first recorded in 789 AD the first Viking raid on the British Isles happened. This cove was believed to be the place they landed. The exposed location was later defended by a Norman 12th Century Rufus Castle, built on the cliff-top overlooking the beach. This remaining castle which can be seen today dates from the late 15th-century.
The cove's area was also used for the building of Portland's first parish church, St Andrews Church, which was probably first established above the cove by the Saxons. St Andrews churchyard, where the ruins stand right on the edge of the east cliffs, has long been the infamous Pirates Graveyard. Built in 1475 on the site of an earlier building, St Andrews was destroyed by fire during a raid. Its rather dubious reputation as a pirates graveyard is based entirely on the fact that some of the headstones and table tombs, both inside and outside the church, have skulls and crossbones carved on them.

So I managed to figure out how to set up an indoor spray booth.
This is the landing at the top of the stairs just before you enter my apartment. (I’m actually standing several steps down on the stairs to get this photo.) I managed to wedge that piece of PVC pipe between an over-the-door shelf just out of frame to the left, and a pegboard mounted wire basket in the upper right corner.
When I was outside, there was room to move around the body to get to the sides, and I just lifted up the pvc pipe and flipped the whole thing around to move betwen front and back. Here, there wasn’t space to do that. So I re-jiggered my hanging setup to attach it to a hanger with a hook that swiveled. (It’s a nice wooden hanger, so I covered it with plastic bags, to keep from painting it.). Lastly, I stuck a box fan in the window and pointed it out, to vent the fumes to outside.
With this setup space was so tight I could only paint one side at a time, and I had to wait for each coat on each side to dry before I could pivot the hanger to the next side. But I think in the grand scheme of things it wasted less time than if I had stayed outside. If I were outside, it would have been too much hassle to go up and down the stairs (I’m on the third floor), so I would have just stayed out there playing on my phone while waiting for coats to dry. But inside, I just stepped back into my apartment and contined work on other parts of the costume.
Managed to fumble the film in loading, mostly got away with it but some errant muck and marks jumped on.
Managed to track down the owners of some of the rarest cars in Singapore.
I have a personal affection towards DC2s as I have a DC2 VTi-R myself.

During the record breaking snowstorm, some people went out to build snowmen, others took walks around the Mall, and a few may have braved the elements in order to show off their best gear at an ugly sweater party. Robert sat inside hacking on Managing News, and then built this dashboard feature to help stay on top of it all.

Managed by the Nature Conservancy, this 1,600-acre nature preserve is located in Preston County, West Virginia and Garrett County, Maryland. From the Nature Conservancy site - "A window into ice ages past, Cranesville Swamp is located in a "frost pocket," an area where the surrounding hills capture moisture and cold air that conspire to create a landscape more reminiscent of habitat found much further north in Canada. Given Cranesville Swamp’s lush forest and wetland, it’s not surprising that it is home to an exceptional variety of animals. In total, more than 50 rare plants and animals live at Cranesville." Did not see a ton of birds, mostly they were high up in the trees - along with the squirrels. But I did see a hairy woodpecker and a few butterflies. Still, it was a nice day to be in the preserve on my visit, Thursday August 10th, 2017.
Time is really flying by. I've managed to settle into Vancouver a bit better now. Still trying to find a routine that feels right with work (doing support work), school, love, friends, and creativity. It's tough. It feels like the two things that are still somewhat lacking is me prioritizing friends and creativity. How do people find time for everything, it's really overwhelming sometimes. I find myself at times feeling this desperation to be more creative again but I find it so difficult to find the time and space... but maybe I have to realize that it just might not come easy and I just have to make it happen.
I just finished working as a camp photographer and blogger for Deaf Camp the other week. It was so amazing to see so many Deafies everywhere and to get paid to do what I love. I'm hoping to do it again next year and perhaps bring in some art activities to do with the campers. We'll see. I feel pretty stoked about Vancouver because it's so much more accessible and I'm immediately more active in the Deaf community. I'm on the board of the BC Cultural Society of the Deaf as their Art Director. I'm feeling pretty good about that aspect. School is good too but it's rough finding the time for all the schoolwork. Love is just as lovely as ever, we're building a nice little nest and are currently taking care of a friend's garden at the community garden and omg it just makes me want to get a garden, sign up for co-op housing, take up yoga, adopt a cat/dog/child, and live in bliss with my partner. Haha. One day. Friends, like I said, not prioritizing it as well as I should... and creativity... although I do feel like I'm being more creative because of being the Art Director of BCCSD and just finishing the Deaf Camp, I still feel frustrated artistically. I feel like I have a lot I could be doing but also feel a bit of an art block and also always feel like there's so much I should be doing instead of being creative. If only I didn't have to work... (on a regular basis I guess)
Managing the Older Worker: How to Prepare for the New Organizational Order
Authors: Peter Cappelli and Bill Novelli
Publication Date: August 17th, 2010
Description: Your organization needs older workers more than ever: They transfer knowledge between generations, transmit your company's values to new hires, make excellent mentors for younger employees, and provide a "just in time" workforce for special projects.
Yet more of these workers are reporting to people younger than they are. This presents unfamiliar challenges that--if ignored--can prevent you from attracting, retaining, and engaging older employees.
In Managing the Older Worker, Peter Cappelli and William Novelli explain how companies and younger managers can maximize the value provided by older workers. The key? Recognize that boomers' needs differ from younger generations - and adapt your management practices accordingly. For instance:
· Lead with mission: As employees age, they become more altruistic. Emphasize the positive impact of older workers' efforts on the world around them.
· Forge social connections: Many older employees keep working to maintain social relationships. Offer tasks that require interaction with others.
· Provide different benefits: Tailor benefits--such as elder-care insurance programs or discount medication--to older workers' interests.
Drawing on research in management, psychology, and other disciplines, Managing the Older Worker reveals who your older workers are, what they want, and how to manage them for maximum value.
Author bios: Peter Cappelli is Professor of Management at the Wharton School and Director of Wharton's Center for Human Resources. He authored Talent on Demand and The New Deal at Work.
Bill Novelli is the former CEO of AARP, a membership organization of 36 million people age fifty and older. He is the author of 50+: Igniting a Revolution to Reinvent America.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates approximately 1 in 68 children in the United States has autism. Each year an estimated 50,000 teens with autism become adults, losing their school-based autism services. With no known cure available in the pharmaceutical market, autism can cause a multitude of social disorders, repetitive behaviors, and communication
The BLM manages habitat for 245 wildlife and plant species listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and another 31 species identified as candidates for listing.
An even greater number of rare and sensitve species depend on the public lands, including about 800 species of rare plants. The list also includes birds, frogs, butterflies, fish and mammals. Rare and sensitive species are not federally listed as threatened or endangered but they warrant special management attention to keep them from becoming listed in the future. In some cases, the public lands offer the best hope for recovery of species threatened by encroaching urban or agricultural development. About 450 of these 800 rare or listed plant and animal species are believed to occur only on BLM-managed lands.
The BLM’s Threatened and Endangered Species Program works to conserve and recover federally-listed species and their habitat on public lands. The program also provides support for conservation of non-listed rare plant species with a goal of avoiding the need to list them in the future.
The BLM places a special emphasis on maintaining functioning ecosystems to benefit all wildlife and plants, and restoring habitat. Because the habitat of many species includes lands and waters not administered by the BLM, successful conservation requires extensive collaboration and cooperation with a number of partners.

The island of Chiloé was recognized as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System because of its rich biodiversity, and the ancestral farming techniques that have been conserved local and indigenous crops for hundreds of years. These include the varieties of potatoes and the island’s unique breeds of sheep and horses.
Chiloe Island is one of the Vavilov centers of origin of crop diversity. It is a centre of origin of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum), mango (Bromus mango) and strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis). Some 200 documented varieties of native potatoes are still managed today, together with a variety of garlic (Ajo chilote) that is unique to the islands and its volcanic soils.
