Wind Bottle Holder - Family Woodworking

Was wondering if anyone has ever seen one of these.

It was a gift many moons ago [at least 30 years]. I just found it while going through some stuff that's been packed away for a bunch of years.

I thought it was quite unique when we got it and I still think it's a pretty good conversation piece.

Anyone interested in making one, let me know and I'll send the dimensions. I think it would look really nice in cherry or birds eye maple.

Didn't notice the title of the thread before I posted. Of course it should say WINE.

So you want to be a Human Resources professional ...

So you want to be a Human Resources professional?

?

Human Resources Management (HRM) is one of the hardest business arenas into which to get established, especially at a management level. So many (predominantly female) have to work their way up through the ranks, including paying dues as a ?grunge level staff member? (e.g., HR clerical assistant). I had to start as a entry-level generalist, even though I had a Master?s Degree in Adult Education with a focus on Training and Development in Human Resources.

?

If you are in a military retirement town (like I am, near Norfolk), you are also in competition with many military retirees with degrees in HR (but unfortunately are not really versed or practiced in the commercial world of HR). In the military, those in HR functions perform mostly administrative work. In the corporate-world, HRMs have oversight of benefits, compensation plans, legal compliance, training and development, annual evaluations, communications, and payroll. In the military, the federal government deals with many of these oversight functions versus the military veteran HRM. (This is not to downgrade HRM service members, especially those who have degrees; there is a huge amount of compliance in the private, commercial industry to which they haven?t been exposed as a government employee.)

?

Yes ? there are limited opportunities, as I noted above for the competition. You could have an ?in? for getting an HR position a little higher than a clerical job. If you have background and skills in accounting, payroll, recruiting, or training, those should open many doors in companies which need an HR person who also monitors, regulates, and has financial decision-making responsibility in those functions. Another niche would be Social Media, with the capability of unique sourcing skills, which would qualify you for HR-related public relations (company branding as employer of choice) or recruiting and headhunting. Work yourself into a job with those niche qualities and experience, then aim towards parallel or higher positions as a HRM with more mainline tasks in the HR realm.

?

Ideas to provide ? foot-in-the-door? experience to add another resume bullet:

?

Visit your local Retail Alliance, Chamber of Commerce, and Better Business Bureaus. Create your own ?internship? by offering your services as a Payroll/HR/Recruiter/Social Media Manager. If you can afford to do it for free, do so; otherwise, ask for minimum wage. (DOL law states internships must be paid if intern is predominantly learning about job functions, while unpaid internships must be ?in training? for a larger percentage of time on the job.)

If you can?t find enough interest from those business venues, go to www.MeetUp.com, and look for entrepreneurial business groups. Many of these groups have free membership. Announce your desires to obtain an internship (paid/unpaid) to add HR experience to your resume or to get a job. If members don?t necessarily have a need, they might know someone else. There are some Job Club groups on this site, also.

Look in non-profit organizations, private schools, local government offices who might need an intern for niche skills; work for a few months (length of time related to salary required).

Find a mentor. Obtaining an HR mentor who can meet with you for lunch or let you job-shadow for about a week might be helpful to learning and experience for a resume bullet as well as a recommendation.

Don?t look only in Monster.com or CareerBuilder for jobs. Find other job posting boards. Search LinkedIn groups (job boards, career, and trades) to join discussions in group?s or to review job postings. Answer questions related to HR in the LinkedIn Q&A forum ? see who comments ? then reach out to touch base.

Query in WordPress for job notices or job boards and search out headhunters and recruiters who place folks in jobs of all levels.

Don?t overlook Temp Work Agencies for jobs with HR or that niche experience.

Look for HR or Personnel Management events, Recruiting and Career Search Job Fairs, or even Job Clubs in Facebook and LinkedIn. Attend conferences, conventions, state chapters of SHRM, ASTD, and CEBS to network. Use business card info to continue discussions ?off-line.?

Don?t ask for a job directly from these new contacts, but ask if they know of anyone with a need for an entry-level management HRM or niche specialists that may lead to a HR mid-management level job.

?

A 1970 research study by Mark Granovetter demonstrated it?s not your close personal contacts who can network you a job (16.7%), it?s primarily through ?barely know them acquaintances.? The economy still is ?down? for many job searches and the human resources fields are often affected a little harder because some companies feel an HR person is one of the non-revenue positions they can spare. Use these ideas to open doors (and windows) to that Human Resources (or other!) position you are working to break into the field.

Ford says Sync is now in 4 million vehicles, takes a moment to talk up Focus Electric

Since its debut in 2007, Ford and Microsoft's Sync infotainment system has made its way into several of the auto maker's models, including the 2012 Focus Electric. At this week's Future in Review tech conference, Ford announced that more than 4 million vehicles in the US have its entertainment platform on board. In addition to dropping that stat, the company talked up its new EV, which it says can charge in half the time it takes for the Nissan Leaf. Maybe Ford caught wind of Nissan's just-announced e-NV200 all-electric van and wanted to remind those in the market for an EV that a blue box isn't the only option.

CASTING CALL: THE U.S. BARTENDER?S GUILD SEEKS

THE NATION?S MIXING STAR

Lights! Camera! Action! Top Bartenders Compete in the

USBG Mixing Star National Finals Sponsored by DISARONNO

LAS VEGAS (May 29, 2012) ? The measure of a great bartender is more than what he or she serves up in a glass. It?s the entire experience shared with the guest ? charisma, presentation, showmanship, armchair psychology (and, of course, the drink itself). On Monday, June 4, the USBG, in partnership with DISARONNO Liqueur, challenges the nation?s top bartenders to show off what they?ve got in front of the camera in The Mixing Star finals, taking place at The Palazzo?s Azure Pool.

WHAT:

Not just another cocktail competition, the USBG Mixing Star National Finals sponsored by DISARONNO seeks a bartender with ?stage presence? and ?star quality? ? the consummate mixologist who exhibits both technical skill and embodies the element of performance and entertainment. Maybe it?s their performance behind the bar ? their shake, their greeting, their bottle flip; maybe it?s their innate social skills ? they don?t just mix drinks, they mix people. Hopeful candidates will compete in a live competition that will be captured on film by documentary filmmaker Bao Nguyen, who is creating the short film, ?Mixing Star: Behind the Bar.?

WHEN:

Monday, June 4, 2012, 7:00 ? 11:00 p.m.

WHERE:

The Palazzo, Azure Pool, 3325 Las Vegas Blvd. South, Las Vegas

PRIZE:

For weeks, hopeful candidates from across the nation have competed in regional heats for the opportunity to compete in the grand finals. With a trip to Bollywood (Mumbai, India) and a chance to appear in a Bollywood film on the line, these finalists will pull out all the stops to show why they are the Mixing Star.

CANDIDATES:

Sam Treadway, Boston

Mea Leech, Chicago

Joshua Peter Smith, Denver

Roger Gross, Las Vegas

Patricia Richards, Las Vegas

Armando Conway, Los Angeles

Quinn Johnson, Los Angeles

Lauran September, Los Angeles

Julio Cabrera, Miami

Robert Ferrara, Miami

Mark Kinzer, Miami

Ezra Pattek, Miami

Nathan Gerdes, Portland

Mindy Kucan, Portland

Jake Bliven, San Diego

David Nepove, USBG National President

Tobin Ellis, West Coast DISARONNO Brand Ambassador

ABOUT DISARONNO

The legend of DISARONNO dates back to 1525, when Renaissance artist and Leonardo da Vinci pupil Bernardino Luini was commissioned to paint a fresco in Saronno. To portray the Madonna of Miracles, he chose as his muse a beautiful local innkeeper. She repaid the honor by giving the artist a flask of a fragrant and delicate amber liquor known as amaretto. With its distinctive stopper and iconic square faceted Murano glass bottle, DISARONNO is now the world?s favorite Italian liquor, regarded as an icon of style and sophistication and appreciated as a ?favorite mixer? for contemporary social settings--DISARONNO Sour, anyone?--as well as neat or on the rocks.
