As well, the rising water levels will result in additional wash of pollutants into the Bay and its tributaries, further degrading the quality of life for natural and human populations - along with wiping our much value and many sectors of the business economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.paxriveronline.com/articles/uploaded_images/paxriver_stjeromescreek-712574.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://www.paxriveronline.com/articles/uploaded_images/paxriver_stjeromescreek-712573.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the EPA is apparentaly re-mobilizing for more discrete and timely outcomes in its Save the Bay program(s) - we've a long way to go, and online social media activism can be nothing but helpful.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1320460155359974653-45867405156953196?l=www.paxriveronline.com%2Farticles' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1320460155359974653/45867405156953196/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1320460155359974653&amp;postID=45867405156953196' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1320460155359974653/posts/default/45867405156953196'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1320460155359974653/posts/default/45867405156953196'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.paxriveronline.com/articles/2009/10/blog-action-day-09-bad09-save.html' title='Blog Action Day &apos;09 - #BAD09 - Save the Chesapeake Bay and PAX River watershed'/><author><name>Kelly and Friends</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01429166111653264130'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320460155359974653.post-6172778188852220159</id><published>2009-09-21T04:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-21T04:22:38.833-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='southern maryland catering'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='southern maryland events'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='southern maryland weddings'/><title type='text'>J.T.

Mosquitoes and chiggers are out to play (with all this rain lately), trumpet vines and blackberries too. Spot and the occasional bluefish are biting, and fat jimmies are swarming our crab pots. The cownose rays have retreated to cooler waters, corn and soybeans are maturing fast, the nettles are up (but not too far, with all the fresh water flowing into the creeks). The Governor's Cup sailing race is a memory, but the Ridge fire station carnival is coming, and the St. Mary's fair in a month or so. Our local Osprey babies have shed their down, and learned to fly and fish. Pool supplies are low and cheap in the stores, and back-to-school shopping is picking up quick. The drive up 4 or 5 into DC is pretty reasonable in traffic - and the mennonites are busy with fully-loaded roadside stands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's time to relax, grab a Bruster's ice cream, and skip a weekend's lawn mowing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s331.photobucket.com/albums/l468/dadministrator/?action=view&amp;current=IMG00354.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i331.photobucket.com/albums/l468/dadministrator/IMG00354.jpg" border="0" alt="PAX River mennonites,PAX River Amish,St. Mary's Amish"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Rt. 5 Mennonites&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s331.photobucket.com/albums/l468/dadministrator/?action=view&amp;current=IMG00373.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i331.photobucket.com/albums/l468/dadministrator/IMG00373.jpg" border="0" alt="PAX River marina,St. Mary's River,St. Mary's sailing"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Waiting for Governor's Cup finishers at St. Mary's College Marina - and catching fat minnows&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s331.photobucket.com/albums/l468/dadministrator/?action=view&amp;current=IMG00379.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i331.photobucket.com/albums/l468/dadministrator/IMG00379.jpg" border="0" alt="PAX River sailing,St. Mary's College,Governor's Cup"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Watching the Governor's Cup at St. Mary's College&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s331.photobucket.com/albums/l468/dadministrator/?action=view&amp;current=IMG00383.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i331.photobucket.com/albums/l468/dadministrator/IMG00383.jpg" border="0" alt="PAX River crabbing"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Fresh, rusty jimmies!

There’s no replacement for someone who can work for hours on end - on suspect diets of caffeine and Twinkies. There are also folks who have been around the workforce for a while, but who may have pigeon-holed themselves into a certain job type or role. Many of these folks could use some serious business coaching.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There may even be many among the experienced workforce set who have lost some of their communication and business skills, and may feel they are in a dead end job with nowhere to go. These can be office workers, public servants or military professionals, IT professionals and even corporate managers or executives. It can be depressing thinking that you are stuck in one field and at one salary. It’s even worse when the economy turns south (or IS south, as in Antarctica South, right now), because you continually take cuts in pay and that can petrify you into never actually acting on a job change or opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The is the right time, in this economy, to take stock of your personal capability to derive success, satisfaction and reward from your business role and efforts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Were you at last week's PAX River NAS job fair, at the &lt;a href="http://www.jtdsmcc.com"&gt;Southern Maryland Conference Center&lt;/a&gt; by J.T. Daugherty?) Were you prepared?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The truth is, with a little bit of business coaching you can learn how to revive your career, make some gains financially, and ultimately become more satisfied in your job…and &lt;a href="http://www.jamesbowles.com"&gt;Maryland, DC and Northern Virginia business coaching&lt;/a&gt; is readily available from a number of trained and qualified coaches. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://vadcmd.wordpress.com/2009/03/24/dc-and-northern-virginia-business-coaching-benefits-for-everyone/"&gt;Read more&lt;/a&gt; about this very important facet in your professional business development.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1320460155359974653-5297336897190227090?l=www.paxriveronline.com%2Farticles' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1320460155359974653/5297336897190227090/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1320460155359974653&amp;postID=5297336897190227090' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1320460155359974653/posts/default/5297336897190227090'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1320460155359974653/posts/default/5297336897190227090'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.paxriveronline.com/articles/2009/03/dc-and-northern-virginia-business.html' title='DC and Northern Virginia Business Coaching - Benefits For Everyone'/><author><name>Kelly and Friends</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01429166111653264130'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320460155359974653.post-7494382076129366533</id><published>2009-03-15T05:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-15T05:31:35.274-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='technical jobs career navair'/><title type='text'>NAVAIR PAX River Job Fair in Southern Md - JT Daugherty Conference Center</title><content type='html'>From the &lt;a href="http://www.thebaynet.com/news/index.cfm/fa/viewstory/story_ID/12421"&gt;Baynet&lt;/a&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In this down economy at a time when hundreds of thousands of Americans are losing their jobs and benefits on a daily basis, it is refreshing to know that The Naval Air Systems Command is hiring and hiring big.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Thursday, March 19 at the &lt;a href="http://www.jtdsmcc.com"&gt;J.
