d when you are dead in part or in full 3 comments posted in uncategorized look what j school did to me journo training changed my brain forever posted on september 26 2010 1 comment i just wrote a facebook post sharing the video above so did a colleague here s how two people one with journalism training and one without see the exact same video with local news value tedxasheville video time another outstanding youth presentation from tedxnextgenerationasheville ever heard about the alleged toxic spill in asheville studies are inconclusive but there s widespread sickness in a south asheville neighborhood and residents blame toxic groundwater one young cancer survivor gabe dunsmith speaks out about alleged contamination at cts corp six minute video tedxnextgenerationasheville asheville look at the spill that is happening in our own backyards a courageous young leader gabe black walnut dunsmith is not willing to stand for innocent people suffering and dyeing he s taking a stand will you join him can you spot the writer who sold her soul to edward r murrow in 2009 eh i m not sorry a friend one told me that the way a scientist sees the world is the only way to see the world and that stuck with me i tried to learn to see the world as a scientist does but i didn t have the right mind but when it comes to words and information i m your woman journalism is a magical combination of words and truth and is its own royal road to discovery a scientist i suppose finds new things and a journalist interprets things to find a new truth however humble both when they do it right chase something elusive and magical the mental paces a learning journalist goes through are the best exercises in fairness i have encountered and freshman newswriting rewrote my writing mind in the best possible way of all the classes i took in college its the one that i think should be required for any writer it taught me how to write with the truth in mind first and the needs of the reader second and gave me a formula to do that before i was just regurgitating information onto a page i m not saying my colleague was wrong and i was right in what she and i posted hardly i m saying there s a place for both ways of presenting information passion and reason are excellent bedfellows anyway if you live in asheville watch this 6 minute video on what seems to me to be one of the most disturbing and under reported stories i ve heard in the 30 years i ve lived here 1 comment posted in asheville writing what is a friend posted on may 21 2010 6 comments first you are acquaintances then you are friends what s the transition today i was thinking about the difference between one stage and another what happens here s what i think a friend is you are truly friends when you spend time together because you want to for pleasure the other person s counsel and welfare become exceptionally important the silence between you is comfortable you are each yourselves when you are together when the other person is not in your life you notice you help each other and rely on one another there is mutual fascination trust and understanding if you have something else to add please

gary j whitehead from measuring cubits while the thunder claps go now into summer into the backs of cars into the black maws of your own changing onto the boardwalks of a thousand splinters onto the beaches of a hundred fond memories in wait where the sea in all its indefatigability stammers at the invitation go to your vacation to the late morning cool of your basement rooms the honeysuckle evening of the first kiss the first dip and pivot swivel and twist go to where the clipper ships sail far upriver where the salmon swim in the clean cool pools just to spawn wake to what the spider unspools into a silver dawn dripping with light sleep in sleeping bags sleep in sand sleep at someone else s house in a land you ve never been where the dreamers dream in a language you only half understand slip beneath the sheets slide toward the plate swing beneath the bandstand where the secret things await be glad or be sad if you want but be and be a part of all that marches past like a parade and wade through it or swim in it or dive in it with your eyes open and your mind open to wind rain long days of sun and longer nights of city lights mixing on wet streets like paint first year

media professionals or social media gurus posted on may 15 2010 1 comment as a full time social media professional i m a marketer for a company that promotes music art and design i get called a lot of things other than a social media professional you ve heard the words social media guru maven queen i ve done it myself once calling a colleague a social media guru she gently corrected me reminding me that as a paid freelance professional with several years of social media campaign leadership experience she is a consultant i figure we use these terms because so called social media is so new and so technology based that there are many geeky people very interested in it who think they know more than they do or who actually do know a lot but haven t yet been able to make much money doing it as with any hot new field paid pro work is hard to come by and these people are called gurus and mavens since they often really have drawn extensive knowledge from multiple experiences but so often they don t really have jobs in social media thus the lack of an official title i ve compiled a list of terms i offer for people for use in referring to people who are paid to do social media we might be gurus and mavens but we are also people with jobs gurus and experts speak at conferences people with jobs can too but we still need a name for our work identity use these words for people who are paid to do social media and make a living that way consultant professional marketer campaign leader strategist use these words for people you wish to annoy or insult who spend more time talking about social media than actually using social media tools or who have several years of experience using social media in challenging situations esp while working with different clients or in different fields and who share that knowledge publicly expert maven guru 1 comment posted in social media uncategorized the tao of community organizing posted on may 9 2010 1 comment i heard this chapter of the tao te ching today at church and it really spoke to me as an organizer of nonprofit events and community initiatives i wanted to share there are important tips here work a huge task one bit at a time as it comes frontload and work hard out of the gate to take pressure off the always stressful last stages expect to sacrifice and be inconvenienced the work is not worth doing because it is easy or fun be ethical be ambitious but don t seek glory seek something outside yourself and within others do not expect it will be easy it won t three translations of the same short verse 1 tao te ching ch 63 translation by roger t ames and david l hall do things noncoercively wuwei be non interfering in going about your business wushi and savor the flavor of the unadulterated in what you eat treat the small as great and the few as many requite enmity with character de take account of the difficult while it is still easy and deal with the large while it is still tiny the most difficult things in the world originate with the easy and the largest issues originate with the tiny thus it is because the sages never try to do great things that they are indeed able to be great one who makes promises lightly is sure to have little credibility one who finds everything easy is certain to have lots of difficulties thus it is because even the sages pay careful attention to such things that they are always free of difficulties 2 tao te ching ch 63 western transation act without doing work without effort think of the small as large and the few as many confront the difficult while it is still easy accomplish the great task by a series of small acts the master never reaches for the great thus she achieves greatness when she runs into a difficulty she stops and gives herself to it she doesn t cling to her own comfort thus problems are no problem for her 3 taote ching ch 63 translation by gia fu feng and jane english practice non action work without doing taste the tasteless magnify the small increase the few reward the bitterness with care see significance in the complicated achieve greatness in little things in the universe the difficult things are done as if they are easy in the universe great acts are made up of small deeds the sage does not attempt anything very big and thus achieves greatness easy promises make for little trust taking things lightly results in great difficulty because the sage always confronts difficulties he never experiences them 1 comment posted in uncategorized compost posted on may 8 2010 2 comments image snitched from the frog princess blog quite possibly the most magical thing i ever saw was compost a housemate and i composted all year and i d never done it before when he emptied out the composter and i saw that all the carrot scrapings and mouldy potato peels had become moist cakelike coal black soil that smelled earthy and delicious and healthful and new it was like a magic trick even though i knew what would be in there i had not expected it to be so black and richly gleaming like a gourmet brownie or a 7 slice of truffle cake to this day i ve never seen anything quite like it i wanted to taste it to eat it for jeff drum 2
