Dear Mary,

For all of us there are times when we’re overwhelmed. There is too much to do, and too little time to do it! This, of course, causes stress; and we all know…stress is not good!

When I was a freshman in college, I learned a simple lesson that I never forgot. And to this day, when I have too many things on my plate and feel stress raising its ugly head, I repeat to myself what I heard over 40 years ago. It worked then, and for me…it still does!

I’ll share the story from my book, The Nature of Success, in the chapter titled: Set Realistic Goals. I hope it helps you as much as it did me!

Also, today I’m pleased to offer a special price of $10.00 per book, including a 3 minute inspirational movie based on the book. Just click here to watch the movie or to learn more.

Note: This offer expires at 11:59 PM CST on 10/15/08.

Live with Passion,

Mac Anderson
Founder, Simple Truths

P.S. I’ve autographed a limited number of these books. You can purchase a 10-pack of autographed copies of The Nature of Success for just $99 by clicking here.

“Set Realistic Goals”
An excerpt from
The Nature of Success
By Mac Anderson

When I was a freshman in college I learned an unforgettable lesson.

I was having a rough week when there was a lot to do and very little time to do it. I was overwhelmed. I panicked.

That night a friend stopped by my dorm room. When I told him my problem, he said, “Mac, I’ll share something with you that my grandmother told me a few years ago. She said to always remember: ‘Inch by inch, life’s a cinch. Yard by yard, life is hard.’”

I said, “Bob, come on. Here I am drowning in work and your lifeline is a quote from your grandmother. Come on!”

After he left, however, those twelve little words kept dancing in my head. I took out a piece of notebook paper and listed all the things I had to do in the next three days. That night I began knocking them off one by one.

Three days later I took out that paper and marked through the last thing on the list. It felt great! And then I took out another piece of paper and wrote down the words: “Inch by inch, life’s a cinch. Yard by yard, life is hard.” I then folded the paper and put it in my wallet. As many of you know, I’ve been collecting quotes ever since.

You see, success doesn’t come cascading like Niagara Falls; it comes one drop at a time through short-term, realistic goals.

Experts on motivation disagree on a lot of things, but one thing they all agree on is that your levels of motivation are directly tied to your expected probabilities of success. In other words, if you believe you can do something (the goals are realistic), you’re likely to be highly motivated. If, however, you think you can’t (because the goals are unrealistic) your motivation level falls greatly.

The lesson here is to continue to dream big dreams, but realize that the short-term goals that take you to the next plateau are the real keys to success

Hope you have some fun. You can direct your life and achieve remarkable things. Mary

Another opportunity to hear Chirgilchin
Chirgilchin were the runaway hit of ¡Globalquerque! 2006. Everyone was captivated by their otherworldly vocal techniques. Atmospheric and mesmeric, throat singing is almost too difficult to describe in words. It must be heard to be believed-the music, produced by resonating low sounds in the throat, creates a middle note and a haunting, flute-like harmonic. Chirgilchin (meaning “mirage” or “miracle”) is a group of musicians from Tuva, a small Russian province north of Western Mongolia. Singing the ancient folk songs in the Tuvan language, the group also plays hand made instruments. The ensemble has appeared in concert throughout the United States, Russia, Finland, Belgium, France, Italy, New Zealand, Portugal, and Canada. Presented by AMP Concerts. Tickets available at South Broadway Cultural Center and the amp website. .

Joel Harrison’s Vox Americana at the Outpost
Guitarist, composer and vocalist, Joel Harrison’s music defies categorization. Equally at home writing songs or complex chamber music; playing modern jazz or bar blues, the Washington D.C. native, who now lives in New York City, graduated from Bard College in 1980 with a BA in composition and performance. Vox Americana is a 65-minute, multi- movement suite whose stylistic palette, while based in jazz aesthetics, ranges through classical, Appalachian, African, and Latin American retaining its own unique probing voice. Vox Americana addresses questions of American identity, and ranges in mood from dark and elegaic to explosive and affirmative. Accompanying the music is a text that was culled, in non-linear fashion, from asking hundreds of people the following questions: Who are you? What does it mean to be an American? Where is our country headed? Vox Americana features some of the most prominent members of the new generation of New York musicians - Joel Harrison, guitar & vocals; Dave Binney, saxophone; Heun Choi, cello; Chris Howes, violin; Daniel Kelly, piano; Jerome Harris, bass; and Jordan Perlson, drums.

The Madrid-based group performs arrangements of indigenous Spanish music dating back to the Middle Ages, on traditional and modern instruments.

Beautiful Losers next Art in Film offering
Beautiful Losers celebrates the spirit behind one of the most influential cultural moments of a generation. In the early 1990’s a loose-knit group of likeminded outsiders found common ground at a little NYC storefront gallery. Rooted in the DIY (do-it-yourself) subcultures of skateboarding, surf, punk, hip hop & graffiti, they made art that reflected the lifestyles they led. Developing their craft with almost no influence from the “establishment” art world, this group, and the subcultures they sprang from, have now become a movement that has been transforming pop culture. Starring a selection of artists who are considered leaders within this culture, Beautiful Losers focuses on the telling of personal stories. It speaks to themes of what happens when the outside becomes “in” as it explores the creative ethos connecting these artists and today’s youth.

YDI Mi Voz Auditions for Fall 2008 Session
Youth Development Inc.’s (YDI) Mi Voz program teaches above-the-line filmmaking skills to middle school age kids. This will be the fourth 16-week session for YDI Mi Voz. Each session has a theme: The Fall 2008 session’s theme is The Zia’s Heart and is about New Mexican art and artists. The Zia’s Heart is a series of short documentaries that will be produced, directed, shot, edited and delivered by a group of middle school age students in Albuquerque. Each short documentary will spotlight a different art form produced by a local artist. Students will shadow chosen artists in different fields and document their creativity, their craft, and how it ties in to identifying Albuquerque and New Mexico as unique in the arts scene. YDI Mi Voz is a safe and free after school program for middle school age young people where they learn all aspects of visual storytelling using digital video. The purposes of the program are: 1. It contributes to building a “native workforce” for New Mexico’s blossoming film industry, giving young people a head start in using industry standard tools and techniques. 2. The finished products will expose New Mexico’s art and artists to a broader audience, letting its audience know the value of what has become such a large part of our city and state identities. 3. By providing Mi Voz classes under the YDI banner, students and their families have access to the wide range of social services YDI provides. We are actively seeking out participants for this session. During the 16-week after school course, students will be taught producing, directing, shooting, and editing using top of the line digital video equipment. The course is free to participants, but interested students must audition first to gauge their interest and dedication. 14 students will be selected. Classes are taught by Marcos Baca and Brian Beeler, working professionals in the area of digital art and filmmaking. 4 youth instructors who have participated previously will be at every class to mentor new students, as well as guest lectures by UNM Cinematic Arts Professors and other independent producers.

Tom Johnson Journalist, Greenland Melting tonight?

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

Hyperoble? Check out the several ecellent events at Santa Fe Complex tonight. Show up early,
and carpool if you can to make sure you get an easy to find parking space. I am impressed with the diversity and high quality of these programs. Come often. Here’s some clips from SF complex’s newsletter.

Melting Ice and Rhetoric:
October 3: Greenland’s Melting Ice
on Frito Friday (7:00 pm)

October 8: Unwinding the Rhetoric
(6:30 pm)

What Happens if Greenland Turns Green?

Greenland is the world’s largest island, and the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is the Northern Hemisphere’s largest terrestrial permanent ice- and snow covered area. Scientists have been monitoring the ice sheet for decades and are discovering that the ice appears to be melting. If true, what will a green Greenland mean for the rest of the world?

Dr. Sebastian H. Mernild, a post-doc fellow at the International Arctic Research Center and Water & Environmental Research Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, is in Santa Fe this weekend. The internationally renowned researcher has agreed to join Frito Friday, October 5, for a casual and informative discussion on his research on the Greenland Ice Sheet in a climate perspective.

Dr. Mernild discusses the future perspectives for this scenario at Frito Friday. He says, “Ice mass and snow cover serve as water reservoirs that are highly vulnerable to ongoing climatic variations and change. The Arctic is undergoing a system-wide response to climatic change, and the effect of a warmer and wetter climate on terrestrial cryospheric and hydrological processes and their components have already been documented.”

Click here for more information on Dr. Mernild’s work. Join Dr. Mernild at 7:00 at Santa Fe Complex to learn more about his perspective on the future of Greenland’s ice and the world’s coastlines.

Swimming Against the Flow (October 7, 6:30 pm)

Presidential debates; vice presidents, too; ads, emails and web pages: claims and counterclaims abound. Come to this second workshop at Santa Fe Complex to learn how to look beyond the scripts and see what is really going on this this fall’s campaigns.

From soap to soapboxes, ads, debaters and talking heads work overtime to control or influence the flow of information available to voters. Learn how to swim against the flow, by navigating upstream through the flood of information around us to find where the information comes from and investigating its accuracy in this second of the Three Tuesdays workshops before November’s elections.

On Tuesday night, October 7, journalist Tom Johnson will show workshop participants how to track data to their upstream sources. Web pages and their data are not static events; learn how to find the “signs” of where they came from, who owns the site(s) and sometimes who links to them. Johnson will discuss how investigators can use these attributes to advantage and also take a step back to consider the “architecture of sophisticated web searching.”

The third and final workshop, on October 14, will explore the payoff for the research done by the workshop’s participants: following the money to see what and who is supporting the campaign. This final workshop looks at web sites that make it easier to follow the election money and focuses on how to get their data into a spreadsheet. Then what? A short intro to slicing-and-dicing the numbers. (Even if you are a spreadsheet maven, please come and act as a coach.)

These workshops will give participants an opportunity to do some hands-on (”On-line hands-on”, that is) investigation of New Mexico politics. Participants are also encouraged to bring a laptop if they can. After learning to do the online research needed to understand what’s happening in the fall political campaign, participants will have the opportunity to do homework assignments and contribute to the Three Tuesdays wiki so their discoveries will be available to the general public.

Everyone is welcome but space will be limited. A suggested donation of $45 covers all three events or $20 will help produce each session. Click here to sign up.

Puppy not trained and the VP debate

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

I am housitting and using my new used laptop. It takes me awhile to gt used to any different computer. Weather is promising to change and my knee lets me know only too loudly. My cats hate that i am away overnight. My friends’ cute little puppy who is adorable still isn’t housetrained. I am also suspicious that the older dog may be picking up bad habits.

Now imagine, the debate is over, I’m wobbling due to the knee and the puppy and i suddenly notice I just stepped in another urine puddle. I have to let the dogs out, and I have to get to the bathroom to relieve my bladder. At least I did not trip. Another mop routine. I thought I’d have lots of time o write this week: wrong.

I wasn’t going to watch the debate tonight, yet due to the long and hectic dy, I decided why not? I was impressed. Both candidates did a good job, Palin held her own. She reminds me of a schoolteacher who has a cold smile and you know not to believe a word she says. And don’t you ever dare challenge her narrow viewpointed authority.

She esentially declared I am an oil connected baron, queen of ice, wolk killer and just wait until I am President. This is not a quote. She eats democrats for breakfast. Whereas newscasters were worried if Biden would be condescending, Palin was frequently dismissive. Oh girls you really can’t believe,giggle, what Biden says, snicker, giggle… Se also did not answer most of the questions. Why did the cmeras keep showing Palin’s biz skirt suit backside?

Biden wore no halo, but I bet his facts and voting record comments include documentation. He has a cheshire cat grin which covers up the fangs.

I once was a debator. These two would slaughter me. I’d say Biden won.

Bail-out or build up? Listen to this interview

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Yes we can....

Yes we can....


Yeah, the buzz is breeding fear and good news rarely surfaces. I am highly skeptical about the rush. Let’s take time to create good solutions. If this interests you listen to the the interview. It’s a bit deep and a little slow, but packed full with important ideas. Go to the bottom for another surprise.

http://blog.jamesray.com/2008/09/thrive-in-face-of-economic-challenges.html

We recorded the call!
For those of you dialing in today, you know how full the conference lines were…
I knew that what Jim Hansberger had to say about the current economy would be important, so I made sure the call got recorded.

Frankly, all of the recent bailouts and drama surrounding the economic market isn’t surprising to me because there’s been so much attention on negativity and demise that we’re feeding the very beast we say we’d like to kill. The media, as well as most viewers, are placing their attention on so much fear that it’s doing nothing but creating the very thing we don’t want.

So… I got on the phone with my good friend (and personal investment advisor) Jim Hansberger.
Jim is, as you may recall, one of the best-of-the-best. In fact, he advises numerous senators in Washington and speaks with them daily. To say he knows what’s going on would be a gross understatement.

So who could be better for me to get the inside scoop for you?
Enough talk… Click here to listen to the interview online in its entirety!

This important information will help you not just to survive the current economy, but to actually thrive in it.
Listen, if you’re expecting the same type of stuff you’d hear on CNBC, CNN or FOX, forget about it. This is the inside scoop that you’ll never hear in the mainstream media.

Please make sure you listen to this call, it’s really that important.
To your continued wealth and happiness,

OAKHURST
COOL BLUEGRASS FROM DENVER, CO!

www.myspace.com/oakhurst

Oakhurst has had a reputation for torching bar and theater stages throughout the US with its unique sound and unbridled stage energy for years. But lately, the band has also created a stir on major festival stages, cruise ships and European tours. The band’s adept picking, sweet harmonies, and citybilly swagger have cleary come from playing 200+ shows a year in such varied environments. Oakhurst’s unpretentious, go-for-it interpretation of a genre that’s often handled too reverently, sparks interest in bluegrass by folks who don’t know Doc Watson from Doc Holliday.

Here’s some useful links for those who wish to register to vote, or have questions about the status of their current voter registration.

THE PLEASURE PILOTS
The Pleasure Pilots band is a popular New Mexico-based dance band playing rocking vintage rhythm and blues, swing and jump music. The Pilots are a six-piece band with a horn section. Instrumentation includes: guitar, piano and Hammond B3, drums, bass, tenor and baritone saxophones. The band specializes in recreating the roots of rhythm and blues.

Conceptually, the band draws much of its material from vintage rhythm and blues artists popular in the 1950’s and early 1960’s. (Louis Jordan, Jackie Brenston, Amos Milburn, Junior Guitar Watson, T-bone Walker, Fats Domino, Ray Charles, Albert King, among others). The primary focus of the music, however, is DANCE! The band has drawn very well in New Mexico, particularly among the “dance crowd.” Jay Paul and Randy Forrester of radio station KSFR’s “Gotta Dance” show, have called the group “the best swing band in New Mexico.”

ROUND MOUNTAIN
A Benefit for the Turquoise Trail Charter School Music Program!

Round Mountain’s Char and Robby Rothschild have been playing music together for most of theirlives. Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, their background ranges from Balkan and West African styles to traditional Appalachian music, from classical to funk. While they have played extensively together and separately in many ensembles and projects, including Prince Diabate, Panjea, the Selkies, and Lizard House, this configuration marks the crystallization of their own music using the traditions that have inspired them. Expect many extremes - beautiful acoustic numbers, wild bagpipes, trumpet and accordion played by one person at the same time, Bulgarian zydeco, klezmer, and Malian rhythms, to name a few. But while their music is varied, it is far from random. There is a solvent behind all these different dry ingredients that allows them to blend seamlessly - original songwriting with respect and love for the music. And, of course, the peculiar breed of madness the Rothschild brothers possess.
Round Mountain is a lively mixture of ceremony and irreverence, of exuberance and reflection. Beneath all of these unlikely marriages, a certain warmth remains to unify their sound and their message. In a time when most music has become so brightly polished that no one can see inside, Round Mountain presents a rare rough gem of humanity that glows from within. www.roundmountainmusic.com

The music they play is the retro-honky tonk music that Bill spent many hours listening to as a youth in the late 50’s, early 60’s.

OAKHURST
COOL BLUEGRASS FROM DENVER, CO!

Is this the correct band?

www.myspace.com/oakhurst

Oakhurst has had a reputation for torching bar and theater stages throughout the US with its unique sound and unbridled stage energy for years. But lately, the band has also created a stir on major festival stages, cruise ships and European tours. The band’s adept picking, sweet harmonies, and citybilly swagger have cleary come from playing 200+ shows a year in such varied environments. Oakhurst’s unpretentious, go-for-it interpretation of a genre that’s often handled too reverently, sparks interest in bluegrass by folks who don’t know Doc Watson from Doc Holliday.

Here’s some useful links for those who wish to register to vote, or have questions about the status of their current voter registration.

THE PLEASURE PILOTS
The Pleasure Pilots band is a popular New Mexico-based dance band playing rocking vintage rhythm and blues, swing and jump music. The Pilots are a six-piece band with a horn section. Instrumentation includes: guitar, piano and Hammond B3, drums, bass, tenor and baritone saxophones. The band specializes in recreating the roots of rhythm and blues.

Conceptually, the band draws much of its material from vintage rhythm and blues artists popular in the 1950’s and early 1960’s. (Louis Jordan, Jackie Brenston, Amos Milburn, Junior Guitar Watson, T-bone Walker, Fats Domino, Ray Charles, Albert King, among others). The primary focus of the music, however, is DANCE! The band has drawn very well in New Mexico, particularly among the “dance crowd.” Jay Paul and Randy Forrester of radio station KSFR’s “Gotta Dance” show, have called the group “the best swing band in New Mexico.”

ROUND MOUNTAIN
A Benefit for the Turquoise Trail Charter School Music Program!

Round Mountain’s Char and Robby Rothschild have been playing music together for most of theirlives. Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, their background ranges from Balkan and West African styles to traditional Appalachian music, from classical to funk. While they have played extensively together and separately in many ensembles and projects, including Prince Diabate, Panjea, the Selkies, and Lizard House, this configuration marks the crystallization of their own music using the traditions that have inspired them. Expect many extremes - beautiful acoustic numbers, wild bagpipes, trumpet and accordion played by one person at the same time, Bulgarian zydeco, klezmer, and Malian rhythms, to name a few. But while their music is varied, it is far from random. There is a solvent behind all these different dry ingredients that allows them to blend seamlessly - original songwriting with respect and love for the music. And, of course, the peculiar breed of madness the Rothschild brothers possess.
Round Mountain is a lively mixture of ceremony and irreverence, of exuberance and reflection. Beneath all of these unlikely marriages, a certain warmth remains to unify their sound and their message. In a time when most music has become so brightly polished that no one can see inside, Round Mountain presents a rare rough gem of humanity that glows from within. www.roundmountainmusic.com

Congress is being BRAVE! Bravo!

Monday, September 29th, 2008

There’s a lot going on in the economy. I know for Congress to stand up and vote no took terrific courage. Economics have multiple resources to respond to capital issues. The proposal needs adjustments. We need to look at what business can do. We need to create jobs. We need to address protections for what now is referreed to Main St. = American people. the Senate voted down any programs to help the people who have been set up, ripped off, etc.

I looked at who is making the money in this deal, and the really big banks would have money from the government, and then resell assets when they come back. They are already selling assets and can make considerable profit on those items. This is just a beginning on the profits that WALL STREET would get. Wall Street can rebound. Economy can abound with real businesses and entrepreunial vision.

Peloisi may not be popular, however she gave a great speech. More eloquently than I. I appreciate her determination to say the taxpayer needs protection now. I was also dismayed that last week a proposal that would help Americans create recovery, have work to do, protect Medicare, and maybe keep their homes. These plans were quickly voted down. Where is justice and concern for the people?

I doubt that quick fixes forged through fear tactics make sound fiscal decisions. Do listen to the news, the is a great drama. Please respond. Hmmm, I am listening, they say that we taxpayers will be paid back or the businesses will be fined. HA! If this doesn’t work in 5 years, those companies will be long gone. Give me a “warrant” paper that is worth nothing….if things were already good enough to buy, we would be there now with greenbacks in hands.

Don’t pay the ones who have created the problems. Pay into the real programs that would create income for working people. I am surprized that Suzie Orman is so positive about the bailout (no matter how they re-spin the name of the plan). She said, “Go to FDIC.com to learn if your $$$ will be protected.”

Entertainment pause:

Warren Buffett is supporting this latest plan. The mortgages is only a small part of the problem. The lens being presented is skewed so we don’t look at the bigger picture. Example, no one is really looking at our own government and it’s hand in their spending and their handshakes with the perpetuaters of the problems that exist now.

I tried listening to Bush, and all I can say is: I don’t believe him. Be back soon.

Try this: Wallstreet: Your loving don’t pay my bills:

Bill Clinton is trying to sell the bailout….things are tough! Of course he stands to loose a lot of money if there isn’t a billout.

Survival tactics during an economic crunch

Friday, September 26th, 2008

600,000 American jobs were extinguished in 2007-2008. (Thanks to American Corporations).
The predictions suggest that this is going to get a lot worse.SO what are workers suppose to do?
Organize. Think ahead.
Boomer alert:
If you are eligible to retire, consider this option:
If you are 62 and above, retire now.
Tap into your retirement fund, especially social security.
Work part time, become a consultant, start a small business.
If your house is not paid for, downsize. If it is paid for buy a rental property.

In earlier recessions, older workers were often bought out. If you can garnish any stable income, do it now before the option runs out. My father was “bought out”. He found it was less expensive at that time to not work. Less $$ on clothing, food, transportation. Less stress. For awhile he did real estate, and was doing quite well. He quite because he did not like the taxes he had to pay. He did have a pension and savings which many workers don’t have now. He also spent about one decade more gardening which supplemented his food budget.

Today: If you had some stable income, then you have a part time adventure, preferably doing something you love. One school teacher I knew built a craft business. It actually earned more than her full time income. Some people could tutor. Consult. Perhaps you could actually do a job you yearned to do: government work, a flower shop, landscaping, writing…you make the list and create multiple strategies.

In Japan elders step down to create new openings for the next generation. Many still have to work, and retool their skills elsewhere.

Restructure lifestyle.

I have chosen to live a somewhat simpler life (a complicated story). When I went to art school (in my 30’s)I realized that I may never be able to retire. Later I thought if I worked really hard at a new career, that I would create my retirement fast, nada. Along the way I’ve discovered that i can do a lot of different things. I have multiple projects where most depend on my creating jobs. This has gown into a purposeful strategy. If one job fails, I can create another. My Part time regular job is working at a health food store. Not big bucks. However, it is in the food industry, in a hot market, and dramactically reduces my food bill.

Re-structuring your lifestyle can be easier than you think. Buy a used car next time you need a car. Pay it off quickly. Save $200-$400 a month. Travel less. Reduce daily travel. Shop localy, or on-line. Buy used clothing. Learn new job skills. Work from home? Work close to home. Rent a spare room, or remodel and create a small apartment to rent. Buy a rental property. Start a community garden. Buy less expensive clothing. Stop buying gadgets. What is really important to you? Sell old stuff. Reduce debt. Cut the grocery budget. Buy less junk food, beer, soda, etc.

If you were to do half of these ideas, you could shave $10,000 or more a year, and even perhaps create new incomes. If you are paying on your house, an extra $10,000 could reduce your mortgage fast. If you added a rental income from your present house of $6000 a year, you could also pay off the house sooner or build a retirement income faster.

Perhaps those savings would mean you could work a job nearby, or start a business and be your own boss, or even work less. YOU HAVE MANY CHOICES!!!

Identify industries that won’t completely fail.

Research recession proof industries and tactics. There are a lot of old books from the 80’s that address these topics. Governemnt jobs also include benefits. Schools. Day care, and now elder care. Health related jobs. Food industry. Transportation. Now add green jobs. Internet jobs.

In the early 80’s I left a state job (which was going to be eliminated) to go to advertising sales. If I could sell something, I could always be employed. Then I grew tired of that. Computers were becoming the hot thing. I knew nothing about computers. So I sold computers where I had a very fast education process. My heart yearned to do art. I worked as a housing coordinator at the college I went to. (First I worked in the library work study, next as an administrative assistant, then Housing Coordinator). I never would have imagined that I could do any of those jobs. Please Note that I had tuition rembursement when I was was a full time college employee. Find something that could be your fall back, if you need to get a job. Educate yourself in advance, one course at a time.
Thus you will be prepared and ready as needed.

Study history.
There have been lots of busts and booms throughout our history. THese bad times are great times to create new businesses, re-build old towns, seek new industries. Settle open lands, grow food, work together with communities to help one another. Prepare yourself and thinking. Also stock up the pantry with essentials. You may have to cook more, and you can plan so that you’ll seldom go hungry. Add to your local food pantry for the poor too. grow some of your own food. Buy a freezer and stock up. Buy from local farmers.
Education.
Above I talked about education some. When I went back to school in the eighties, there were several books about how to afford schools. The easiest way is to take one course at a time. Especially at community colleges. Also you might teach one course at a time. As the world changes we need to learn more new skills. A terrific book that gives great strategies for change is “What Color Is My Parachute?” It’s updated continually. It actually shows how to change occupations without more school. It also opens the mind to how to approach work and what you WANT to do. This book frequently appears in thrift stores. You can pick it up for as low as 50 cents.

Can’t afford school? Go to thrift stores and buy books cheap and teach yourself. Or create a reading group to do the same.

Teach others. Education can be a lucrative business. If you have skills to share, then workshops, classes, newletters, magazines, books are all ways to make $$$. Need a part time job? The local high school may hire you to teach a continuing ed course, ditto colleges. Or in the local paper list a class and find a space where you can teach it. Go online and learn all the ways people are teaching and offering classes. Copy and earn money. If you are good at this you could replace your job by helping others.

Want to buy my photographs? Want to pay me to do help coach you? Just want to comment? Let me know.

Wall Street Crashing…a look behind the scenes?

Friday, September 26th, 2008

From a poll on newsvine: But first:
I started reading a few articles, went to a poll, and then to youtube.com. I started looking at some congressional commentaries. I am curious about who is behind the current crisis…well you’d have to spend a long time seeing a lot of vidoes to begin to understand. I bet there is a connection to the Iraq war debt, the friends of the Bush regime, our debt and so much fraud et al in the big business.

I’d like to see a list of names as the big players. Who knows who, and who is profiting so far from this? In the meantime, where is all this money coming from? How will it protect the average citizen?
Again, who is profiting? (Bush buddies?)

I hope Congress can come up with a reasonable goal. I hope that my social security will be there when I get older. One thing is certain, the whole truth is being hidden in a dark cubby hole so we don’t catch on soon enough. The videos will provide some entertainment. Research more and read the comments left on newsvine. Mary

Congress better get off their behinds fast or no one will be working here or globally, Everything will start to go up price wise.

So click the link on top and view more, or read more articles, voice your thoughts anywhere. Blank check to people who have created the crisis, and set us up for a major wipe out makes no sense to me! They should pay, and individuals should be able to withdraw their funds now, before the feds allow a crash to happen. The government seems less worried about it’s citizens, and all to eager to pay the crooks…am I reading a bad novel? Batman where are you when we need you? The joker has gone mad, and may win this time.

I’d love to hear what you think???

Money, voting, investigative reporter, politics and Santa Fe Complex

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

This has become a vital, exciting, and savvy group! I may not be able to make the workshops, so the rest of you can get a headstart on me! Wish they’d create an ebook for me. I barely get around to reading the ones I’ve collected. How about you?

Today, a lady called me from California to encourage me to volunteer for Obama this Tuesday and Thursday at 6PM. They are working toward getting 18,000 volunteers out on those days. I think it would be great fun to pack those offices. Come join the work party or send food. In Santa Fe they would be overwhelmed to see so many Moveon folks. Send friends. Let’s really give the campaign a boost big time. See you there. Ditto for other communities.

This Week @ sfX:

Savvy Voting;
Scanning Reality,
Single String Concert

Santa Fe Complex · 632 Agua Fria · Parking via Romero St. For more information, call 505/216.7562 or visit sfcomplex.org

A Full Week at Santa Fe Complex
Political Horseraces
Water & Whiskey, Again
Symphony on a Single String
Handicapping the Horseraces

Learn what is really going on in this fall’s political races while supporting Santa Fe Complex in a special, three-part workshop on how you can be your own investigative reporter. Hosted by journalist and journalism professor Tom Johnson, the sessions will show you how to get ready for that special Tuesday in November by using the growing number of web-based tools available to the serious journalism and the ordinary citizen. < --more-->

Schedule Change: Mixing Whiskey & Water, Again
This week’s water resource blender has been rescheduled to October 15 to make way for the 3D scanning program described in this newsletter.

Santa Fe Complex practitioners Paul Paryski and Kim Sorvig will be joined by RiverSource’s Rich Schrader for an examination of the social and physical dynamics of water in the arid Southwest. More information will be posted soon.

Santa Fe Complex is located in the Railyard Art District within walking distance of the hotels, restaurants and shops at the plaza downtown. While there is parking at 624 Agua Fria, the Romero Street parking lot is more conveniently located for the 632 facility.

3D Scanning for Historic & Cultural Studies

A 3D scan of the Palace of the Governors
Three-dimensions are the rage in this fall’s movie line-up. They’re also increasingly important in historical, archeological and paleontological research, as we’ve seen in three prior blenders at Santa Fe Complex. We continue our series on Stereo-Computational Photography with an in-depth look at 3D laser scanning in modern research. Our look includes demonstration courtesy of Faro Technologies, a global leader in 3D scanning technology, and discussions on the use of 3D scanning for preservation. The blender will continue on Wednesday with follow-up work at the Fuller Lodge in Los Alamos and the ArtsLab at UNM. The blender begins at 6:00 at Santa Fe Complex, 632 Agua Fria St. (Parking via Romero Street.) A $5.00 donation is encouraged.

Ralph Chapman (formerly of the Smithsonian and the Idaho Virtualization Laboratories) will introduce the speakers and say a few words about his own use of laser scanning in paleontology and virtualization of artifacts. Wednesday night’s speakers include:

Paul Oberle of FARO Technologies who will demonstrate the use of their Photon 80/20 scanner including a presentation of a scan he will be taking at the Palace of the Governors earlier in the day.
Tom Pederson, a local GIS expert, will describe his use of laser scanning technology for historical preservation.
Tim Thomas (UNM/HPC) and Catherine Baudoin (Maxwell Museum) will speak briefly about their work in distributed digital archives for virtualized cultural artifacts.
Patrick French will discuss the creation of 3D models of objects from photographs using readily available software.
The 3D work will continue on Thursday in Los Alamos and Albuquerque. From 10:00 am to noon, the discussion will continue at Fuller Lodge with archivists and preservationists from Los Alamos Historic Preservation Societyand the LANL museum

The discussion continues with a demonstration of 3D scanning for staff at the UNM ARTS Lab in Albuquerque followed by a discussion with Kevin Cain, director of InsightDigital, the Institute for the Study and Integration of Graphical Heritage Techniques. Cain is collaborating with UNM and others on the Maya Skies project.
For more information, please contact Steve Smith or call 505/920.0252.

Jean Duane, Pumpkin soup, the Alternative cook (New feature?)

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

Perhaps I should include recipes more often? I heard Jean Duane talk recently at Natural grocers by Vitamin Cottage. 34 people attended. We had about 15 DVD’s to sell and sold 14. There were DVD’s on the following topics (they sell for $24.49 each) Yeah we had a sale as we ARE Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage. The talk was about how to make dairy free and gluten free cooking deleicious. Most of you won’t be able too go to the COlorado demonstration, however you could get or even resell the DVD’s.

Here’s the list of DVD’s: Kids meals, Italian cooking, Mexican cooking, well go to her links for the rest.
As I was saying, since you can’t go to her demo, I am going to give you MY PUMPKIN SOUP recipe, SW style. 1) Always remember you can improvise wwwith my recipes to create your own fav taste.

1 fresh pumpkin seeded, chopped into small chunks, peeled.
You could use the outside of the pumpkin as a shell bowl too.
Parlsely to taste
Celtic or Realsalt
Optional garlic and onion
Dash of cumin
Olive oil
2-3 tablespoons of Dixon Medium Hot Chile (red), or chipotle chile
Regular NM red chile would do too.
OPtional: add dried cranberries, or tart cherries (also dried) or dried currants or wolfberries (goji berries) These are my favorites to add 1 or 2 berries for bursts of unexpected flavor. the Sweet, medium hot taste is a great balance and contrat to perk up the pumpkin.

Take the cut pumpkin and place in a blender. Smaller pieces work easier. Add 1/4 cup of water. Blend (cut first, and then either liquify or puree. Add garlic or onion. If it is a potluck you may want to skip the onion)

Pour pumpkin into a pot with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Add other ingredients. Stir. Cook 10 minutes and then cover (either simmer, or just turn off the heat). Remember to add some olive or sesame oil too. Add parsley and optional Dulse seaweed just before pouring into a serving container.

Soup can be served in small bowls, gluten free bread bowls, or in mugs. In mugs? A dash of cinnamin or coriander might be festive. A sprig of peppermint or parsley would be festive too.

Serve hot or cold too. This recipe was warmly appreciated last year at a Thanksgiving dinner. The soup will remain fresh for several days, making great leftovers for friends to take home.

By blending the raw puree, you save lots of cooking time, and can create a fresh original pumpkin flavor. It’s light and delicious, also leaving room for the rest of a meal.

News From Alternative Cook Newsletter by Jean Duane the Alternative Cook.
Whole Foods Market, Highlands Ranch has asked me to come back to show how to make Creamy Holiday Pumpkin Soup on Saturday, September 27 at 2:00 PM. Of course, this delicious, creamy soup will not contain dairy or gluten! Call 303-470-6003 to reserve a seat (space is limited since this is a cooking demonstration.)

Throughout this summer, I’ve been honored to speak at numerous Vitamin Cottage / Natural Grocers. Many people have asked for a tortilla recipe, so this newsletter will be devoted to the tortilla.

Featured Recipe

“Alternative” Flour Tortillas

1 cup brown rice flour
½ cup sorghum flour
½ cup tapioca flour
2 tsp. xanthan gum
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 cup warm water
3 TBS sunflower or olive oil

Whisk together the flours, baking powder, salt and xanthan gum. Separately mix water, oil together and add to the flour mixture. Mix with hands or a pastry whisk until incorporated. Oil hands and form dough into 8 golf balls .

Place plastic wrap over the bottom of a tortilla press and put a ball of dough on the plastic wrap. Place another piece of plastic wrap on top of the dough, and slowly press the tortilla with the press until it is flattened. (Or, roll the dough out with an oiled rolling pin on waxed paper.)

Heat an oiled cast iron pan or griddle and place the tortilla on it. Press it while it is cooking. When browned, turn and cook the other side. Place in a tortilla warmer until ready to serve.

Kathryne Cyman’s show at Weyrich worth seeing
Kathryne Cyman follows a 400-year old Japanese tradition to create translucent porcelain plates, cups and bowls - bringing to the process wonderful glazes made from materials she gathers in the Sandia Mountains and the volcanos on the west mesa. Cyman is being honored by AABA as a Local Treasure and I had the opportunity to visit with her before the opening of the Weyrich show. It is obvious that she is not only a master of the art, but that it is truly a labor of love. She has studied with porcelain masters in Arita, Japan where the process was created more than 400 years ago when a large porcelain clay deposit was discovered near the town of Arita. That clay is now only available to Japanese masters but a porcelain clay body with similar properties has been developed in the US, providing material for students and professionals using the Arita method. Cyman was selected by her professor, Jim Srubek, and Manji Inoue (a National Living Treasure from Japan) to continue Srubek’s Arita program at UNM. This is the only such program that exists in the US. The gallery is open Tue-Fri from 10:30 to 5:30 and Saturdays 11- 5:30. You can also call for an appointment.

Legal Hawks screens at the KiMo
Local production company A+ #1 Productions will be previewing their independent television pilot Legal Hawks on Sept. 21. The year is 1986 and a new television network called Fox is desperate for content. They approach the biggest hair band of the era, Von Holland, to do a weekly concert. Von Holland decides instead to do a legal drama and the series is born. Legal Hawks was written and directed by Josh Klein and stars local actors Isaac Kappy and Ross Kelly. Also appearing are Bill Sterchi, April Fox, Reuben Finkelstein, Shenoah Allen, Mark Chavez, David Kappy and Victor Izay. The pilot was shot by local cinematographer Corey Weintraub and was produced by Isaac Kappy. Students from CNM’s film training program worked alongside industry professionals during the making of the pilot. The screening at the KiMo is free of charge and open to the public, however, the filmmakers will be using the event as a fundraiser for a Farmington fireman whose family is grappling with financial duress after medical complications that led to the loss of their unborn child. Also showing at the screening will be the premiere of Hide, the latest short film from Trifecta Plus Entertainment, directed by Scott Milder, and Time Assassins, a short film directed by Reuben Finkelstein.

Beautiful Losers next Art in Film offering
Beautiful Losers celebrates the spirit behind one of the most influential cultural moments of a generation. In the early 1990’s a loose-knit group of likeminded outsiders found common ground at a little NYC storefront gallery. Rooted in the DIY (do-it-yourself) subcultures of skateboarding, surf, punk, hip hop & graffiti, they made art that reflected the lifestyles they led. Developing their craft with almost no influence from the “establishment” art world, this group, and the subcultures they sprang from, have now become a movement that has been transforming pop culture. Starring a selection of artists who are considered leaders within this culture, Beautiful Losers focuses on the telling of personal stories. It speaks to themes of what happens when the outside becomes “in” as it explores the creative ethos connecting these artists and today’s youth.
