When I’m speaking about Congo I make sure that I provide a political and historical context often not presented in Western media – “What is taking place in the Congo is a resource war, a geo-strategic battle being waged on the backs of the Congolese people and in the wombs of Congolese women. Congo is the home of the greatest humanitarian crisis in the world and since 1996, nearly six million people have died.

As I awoke on this Christmas morning from my dream in which I was in Eastern Congo again, I realized that too often I suppress what it was like to experience the energy of war, for the first time when I visited Congo earlier this year. In my dream I felt the intensity of these feelings again. The part of the dream I recalled began with an officer stopping me in the streets of Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo, asking to see my papers. I questioned the officer’s request, but while in the D.R.C. this year when asked for my passport, I contained my righteous indignation. The surge of anxiety I walked with, in the dream and in my recent visit was emotionally paralyzing, as I was starkly aware that there was no real safe harbor anywhere in my sight. Everywhere in my dream just as in my visit, armed soldiers lined up against store walls as if they owned the air that the Congolese people breathed and it was hard for me to differentiate between the varied armed groups I passed on the street. The UN forces, foreign troops from the neighboring countries of Rwanda & Uganda and the Congolese army all seemed to have one thing in common – their presence was elusive at best and deadly at worst. These young soldiers were now reduced to mere mercenaries for US and foreign corporate interests and governments such as Rwanda and the small percentage of Congolese élite – hired hands in a global resource game in which Congo loses while the rest of the world wins.

As I continued walking down the streets of Congo in my dream, a woman in her early 60’s, held her breath as she briskly walked ahead of me, passing a group of soldiers. She seemed to have mastered the stealth of a samurai warrior – deliberately disengaged with the sights and sounds in her line of vision, possessing the ability to stay almost undetected by the human eye. Within seconds, I saw a soldier raise his machine gun as if he was lifting an amulet to the sky to receive God’s blessing and fire into a crowd of people. I attempted to slide under a table when a soldier grabbed my ankle  flinging me against a wall to be used as cannon fodder.  A slew of soldiers were already firing in my direction and seemed eager  to find the “right landing” for their bullets to pierce. Lucky for me, I was in a dream and was able to escape from the onslaught of machine gunfire, possessing the power to defy gravity and my likely fate.

I woke up in my warm bed relieved and thankful that this dream wasn’t my life. I thought about how I stood out as a foreigner in the refugee camps of the Congo months earlier during my “real” visit – how the eyes of the displaced men and women seemed to meet mine with fury and envy and say,  “You get to go home.” The intense guilt I felt was palpable, as I knew that I had personally benefited from the Coltan and Cobalt in their soil and yet did not have to live their nightmare.  I could go back home, in my nice warm bed and forget their faces if I chose to and on this Christmas morning I could even pretend that they don’t exist.



Cobalt blue glass is a deep blue glass colored by cobalt compounds prepared in molten glass. It is well known and appreciated for its attractive color and is filtered as optical filters in tests of flame, yellow flame through the pollution caused by sodium, and expand the ability to see violet and blue hue under fluorescent light, glass the dual effect of cobalt.

While the quartz glass is melted, is a modest amount of cobalt oxide, the glass is – the colorsufficient to meet – and the colors are almost independent of the amount of cobalt oxide. Of course, one in the molten glass is colored yellow-orange when hot, and the true color can not be seen until the glass of a quasi-static cooling is gone.

Many people collect glassware, cobalt blue, the accumulation of large collections. An example of the popular Cobalt Blue Glass Bristol Blue style, like the distinctive blue bottles of sherry cream. It 'also a little known fact thatCobalt glass changes the color of hydrochloric acid in a mixture of cation-colored.

Glass Cobalt Modern Day is almost identical with ancient history or blue glass, can be very difficult to recognize genuine antique cobalt blue glass modern. Using the directions on the bottom of glass that age can enter – the producers and managers, often former ex of this glass, are marked with a symbol, like an "H" of the diamond (for glass Heisey former) or a "c"in a triangle (for the glass former Cambridge). Newer Enamel can with a "B" in a diamond or a B "labeled" in a triangle. As a side note, has been the production of glass Bennet in the early 1980s, and many of the glass molds were sold.

Making style cobalt blue glass and glassware can be fun to collect – try to choose the pieces of glass, with no defects or only minor errors. Keep away from glass chips, cracks or other obvious issues such as this has problems, it is clearDepreciation of the value. Also look for signs on the glass, with which the manufacturer or age of the glass. Above all, have fun seeing the collection of glass and try to install the glass in Windows or with a good backlight. You will get many years of enjoyment of this collection of glass, and is great value.

Or just reliving my Studio Sale in cobalt colors!  Seriously, this is a post for an old friend, who wanted to see COBALT. (You know who you are, Gil!) Looks like I’m way low on cobalt at the moment, but here is what I have on hand….  The detail shot above is current work done with powdered glass on sheet substrate.  Most have 22k gold designs drawn & fired into the glass.  Gorgeous pieces for home decor, don’t you think?!

I love these festive candleholders and make them in many color combinations.  I usually adorn them with botanical designs, my favorites being lavender & lilacs.  Most of my custom orders have been themes based on the client’s home decor.

I’m very low on handkerchief vases at the moment.  Those I have in cobalt are the two on the right and the very dark blue (back, left) with red accents.

This shot makes the blue vase appear almost black, but it’s a gorgeous cobalt iridescent glass

Here it is in front of a window with bright light.

And here’s the cobalt vase with white accents as viewed in front of the same window.

A set of cobalt wall pockets.  Please forgive the white price stickers, I shot these on the fly just before my studio sale opened!  The left pocket is a botanical design and the others are all from my ‘I’d give you the stars and moon’ series.  The moon is hand cut silver dichroic glass and the stars are all the scraps I made while trying to cut perfect moons.  By the way, if you’d rather learn to make you own wall pockets, come take my class (Build a Better Pocket) at the Las Vegas Glass Craft & Bead Expo in April!!

Not so cobalt but I love these pieces so included them for your viewing pleasure!

Lastly the same shot from the beginning of this post uncropped.  Cobalt is included in a couple of the pieces here because I like a contrast of lights and darks.  My current favorite for home decor is the turquoise and purple combination with gold, but it’s a bit tricky to work with.

Merry Christmas to all!  Hope your holidays are filled with light, love and laughter!!

When describing his experiences with the Paralympics, longtime Cobalt employee Mark Bathum used these words to describe his fellow athletes and their attitude toward the endeavor, “It’s just what you do. You try to make a difference.”

Cobalt believes the same thing, a belief that manifests itself in many ways. For the next few months, Cobalt is sponsoring two Cobalt employees – Mark Bathum and Shane McSimov – in their efforts to do good.

Mark is realizing a goal he has had for 20 years, and started seriously trying for in 2008 – to race for the US Paralympics ski racing team. In 2010, in Vancouver, he will achieve that dream, but only after a lot of hard work and arduous training. Mark raced all last season to see how it would feel to do it. This year he’ll still be working, though remotely, while ramping up his ski training schedule in preparation for the big event. Cobalt will be following his efforts closely and supporting him in his bid!

Mark’s not the only one reaching out, though. Shane McSimov, another Cobalt employee, is organizing his own charity event in a very different way: a charity ping-pong game. Shane has challenged Scott Harrison, the founder of the organization charity: water to a $5000 ping-pong match in New York City, with the money going to build a well for a community that needs fresh water.

As Shane says, “A ping pong match in NYC can that save lives overseas and give clean drinking water to an entire community for 20 years; that’s a game worth playing.” The event will take place in early 2010, and will be streamed live on Ustream.com.

We’ll be writing more about Mark and Shane in the next couple months. Until then, keep updated on Mark’s progress on his website at www.markbathum.com, and you can donate to Shane’s ping-pong game by clicking here.

Cobalt is proud of both Shane and Mark for their efforts to give to something greater than themselves. As hard as we work, Cobalt also knows that when it comes to what really matters, it’s just what you do.

Dear Family,

Almost a year ago, I was compelled to contact, Friends of the Congo, a DC-based advocacy organization, after viewing the, Nov. 13, 2008 interview,   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b07P7T-_Ano on the Democracy Now program.  I was attempting to understand why there was a “veil of silence “, around the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo in Western media – a country which the UN  reports  as the greatest humanitarian crisis in the world since World War II, in which nearly 6 million people have died, and hundreds of thousands of women have been systematically raped as a tool of war.  Friends of the Congo, Executive Director, Maurice Carney explained how the conflict in the Congo is a resource war and not an ethnic conflict.  The Congo happens to be one of the richest stretches of real estate in the world, endowed with an abundance of vast mineral deposits, such as coltan and cobalt, which are key to the functioning of modern-day society.

During this time (Winter 2008), my father Ernest Crane had been diagnosed with terminal cancer a few months earlier and I was grappling with the imminence of his death. I questioned  whether my inquiry into the Congo should be postponed for a less intense time, but I couldn’t ignore the yearning to do something. This compulsion moved me to join the delegation of independent journalists going to the Democratic Republic of Congo, organized by Friends of the Congo. I would go to the Congo in tribute to my father and raised funds on facebook with the assistance of my friends and family to cover my expenses for this trip.  Ultimately, it was my father’s ideals of freedom that  would give me the courage to go to Congo on January 5, 2009  two days after he died.

While in Congo I was given the opportunity to speak to Congolese face-to face and extract the truth directly from their mouths. I pledged  to the Congolese who courageously spoke about their realities, that I would let U.S. citizens and the world know about why we should care about what’s happening in the Congo and how we are directly connected to the conflict in the Congo.

Since I returned, I have written about my experience in the Congo and have spoken in a variety of venues, advocating for diplomatic and political solutions to ending the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo; as opposed to the current military solutions being backed by the US government.  Upon returning from the Congo in January 2009, I’ve had the opportunity to speak at: Loyola College, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, Coppin State University, Morgan State University, the University of Toronto, CUPE labor union in Toronto, Canada, Columbia University’s IMPACT program, the Congo in Harlem Film Festival and have conducted multiple radio interviews on this issue.

I would like to thank all of my friends, families and strangers who trusted me enough to offer their support in the form of prayers, well wishes and monetary contributions. Your contributions were valuable  and honored – know that you have made a difference in the global movement to end the conflict in the Congo. This is just the beginning, as I will continue to stand for a free and liberated Congo. Family, I encourage you to learn more about the Congo from Congolese and tell someone else about the Congo. We must open our ears and our mouths and remove the veil of silence around the Congo. Lets’ do this in solidarity with the people of the Congo. To a peace-filled Congo, and a peace-filled world. Let justice and peace shake hands! Happy 2010! Join the global movement!

In a press release, Geovic Mining Corp. (OTCBB: GVCM; TSX: GMC) announced the engagement of Standard Chartered Bank of London as financial advisor to its Nkamouna project.  In addition to conventional means, Standard Chartered will assist Geovic in addressing other financing options should they arise.

Following a long year of hard work completing the drilling program and Process Tests, Geovic is now moving forward with the next stages of its Nkamouna strategy, including updating its Feasibility Study (anticipated in mid-2010) and commencing financing discussions.

Standard Chartered has a long, deep history in the field of mine financing, and is particularly strong in Africa.  As a result, we are increasingly confident in the Company’s plan to move forward with financing and constructing Nkamouna in the second half of 2010. 

Currently, Geovic’s stock is trading slightly above the Company’s cash balances; in other words, giving nearly no valuation to Nkamouna.  Given the combined impact of the Resource Update, Feasibility Study commencement, and Financial Advisor engagement, we believe that the market will start to see a mosaic of increasing project viability in the coming weeks and months, yielding an increased stock price.

For years I’ve asked dealers why they advertise in newspapers, radio, and on TV. I usually get the same answer, “because we always have,” or I hear “because it creates good traffic!” I typically follow up with the question, “how do you know?” That’s when I hear the crickets chirping. I will never tell a dealer to quit advertising with the traditional mediums, just show me the ROI! After all, if I spend $10K on a newspaper ad that runs through a weekend, shouldn’t I expect a nice return on that investment?

High performing dealers today are turning to online advertising to survive during these turbulent times. They must be able to measure all the effectiveness of their advertising and make quick, intelligent decisions on whether the ad is working or not. Digital marketing is one of the true silver bullets in advertising. Everything is measured and can be changed instantly. You want to push an old age unit, put it online with an attractive price. If that doesn’t work (and we will know within a day if it does or doesn’t), throw it on usedcars.com and just get rid of it then move on.

Automotive advertising companies that want to help their dealers need to learn how to partner with the store. They have to understand the dealer’s goals and integrate a complete advertising strategy. Everything that a dealership does offline should drive traffic online! Today a dealership can make a minimal investment in digital marketing, and for just a few thousand dollars they can have an advertising campaign in a box. All digital advertising should be designed to drive traffic, be it walk-in, phone-in or email leads.

Automotive advertising companies that want to help their dealers are thinking of new and creative ways to drive qualified traffic to the dealer. Technology can be overused in dealerships in so many ways today, do your sales consultants know how to do a proper meet and greet, can they take an inbound call on a sold vehicle and get the prospect excited to visit the store? We have to make sure that dealers understand that it’s time to go back to the blocking and tackling in the dealership, and as far as advertising goes, there are companies that are experts on how to drive qualified traffic to your dealership. It’s time to start listening to those experts and putting together the proper mix of traditional advertising and digital marketing!

It’s finally done, after much deliberation and whatnot, I’ve compiled a list of my favourite records from this year, and written a poorly crafted blurb for each of them. My words don’t do them justice, so check them all out for yourself and hopefully I’ll be able to expose you to something new and interesting!

John Holt, Cobalt CEO, talks to Dealer Digest Daily about how dealerships today need marketing experts who are thinking about mining data on customers as well as considering the bigger world of internet opportunity.

I do have to give it credit. It was the manliest-looking hatchback in the bunch.

Earlier this year, Dodge announced that it would give the interior of their compact hot hatchback, the Caliber, a makeover and then it would be no more.  A part of me was happy to hear this news due to the poor market reception of the vehicle,  but another part of me hurt for this little car that never had a chance to live up to its full potential.

The Caliber hit the scene in 2006 as a replacement for the aging Neon.  Caliber was to offer a roomier cabin, more power, better fuel economy, more style, and greater functionality.  It met all these goals (though some will disagree about the styling), but it fell short all at the same time. Why?  Because Dodge did it all wrong.

Just like sending your child to school without books, paper, or pencils, Dodge handicapped the Caliber straight out of the gate.  Forgiving the polarizing styling,  things such as a cabin full of bland, hard textured plastics and an overall flat interior design practically forced consumers to look elsewhere.  Sure, it had cute gimmicks like a drink cooler in the glovebox, lights in the cupholders, and an overhead lamp that doubled as a flashlight.  But what good is any of that if the rest of it looks and feels like someone put the fewest number brain cells to work when coming up with the design?

The drivetrains were nothing to write home about either.  The base 1.8 liter four cylinder engine was useless. The 2.0 liter made more sense as a base engine, and better still, the 2.4.  I’ll even forgive Dodge for not letting us have the 2.0 liter diesel they offer to the Europeans.  The problem is they decided to mate them through continuously variable transmissions (CVT) instead of just using geared automatic transmissions.   The CVT was used as a means of increasing fuel economy. It did nothing but make them slower, and, if it broke, the whole transmission had to be replaced. If you could get one with a 5 speed manual, lucky you.  If you could afford an SRT-4 version, I hate you.

It sounds as if I hate this car, but I really don’t.  I am just angry that Dodge spoiled such a good thing.  Caliber could have been a contender of high caliber (I’ve been saving that one for a while now. Can you tell?), but it was a pellet in a shooting range of 9mm and .45 bullets.

Dodge have teamed up with Fiat, who will be helping them develop a new small car to try and make us forget all about this red-headed stepchild of a vehicle.  But those of us that love this mini-mini van will always remember it as a good car that Dodge murdered before it had a chance to breathe.  In closing, I feel a familiar phrase from Top Gear best sums up the Dodge Caliber: brilliant, but rubbish.

At Cobalt, signs of the season are cropping up everywhere. Potted poinsettias lined up in the lobby. Miniature pine trees in the hallway. Baked goods and candy shared in the kitchen and on desks. And a big tree, decorated with colorful tags and bright lights with a growing pile of childrens’ toys underneath.

The holiday season is here, and at Cobalt that means we give a little more, financially and otherwise. In a previous entry we talked about Cobalt’s involvement in Northwest Harvest. In December, Cobalt is working with Treehouse and Childhaven, “two Seattle-based charities that do enormously important work for children and families. Children are the most vulnerable members of our society and the economy has pushed many more Washington families towards hardship,” in the words of CEO John Holt.

Cobalt has worked with both organizations in past years. This year Cobalt is donating $10,000 each to both Treehouse and Childhaven, and also matching employee financial contributions up to an additional $5,000 through December 23rd.

Decorated Christmas trees stationed throughout the Lynnwood and Seattle offices give employees the opportunity to make a more personal contribution to a child in need. The trees, part of a toy drive also sponsored by Treehouse, are hung with colored tags which describe presents Seattle children have wished for. Employees can choose a tag and purchase the presents themselves, then bring them in and place them under the big tree in the lobby to be donated. This is one small gesture that will hopefully make the holiday that much brighter for a child.

“It’s a thin line between fortune and despair,” said John Holt, “and I believe we recognize and honor our good luck when we reach out a hand to another.”

At Cobalt, reaching out with gifts from the heart is just one more sign of the holiday season.

In a press release this morning, Geovic Mining Corp. (OTCBB: GVCM; TSX: GMC) announced the appointment of Lycopodium Minerals Pty. Ltd., a world-class engineering contractor, to update the Nkamouna Cobalt project Feasibility Study.  The announcement represents the second this fall regarding the positive accomplishments achieved by Geovic during 2008-09, the first being the near doubling of Project resources announced on October 16^th.

Based on the results of the Process Tests and Drilling Programs completed over the past 12 months, Geovic Cameroon (“GeoCam”) is confident that the results of the Feasibility Study Update (FSU), currently scheduled for completion in mid-2010, will yield a significantly more bankable project, in terms of both cost and risk.

The Company looks forward to releasing additional data in the coming months related to its goal of commencing the financing and construction phases of Nkamouna in the second half of 2010.

Hey there.  I’ve only had this blog up about a day and I’ve gotten some hits, which surprised me.  I’d love to get some more readers and some feedback on how I’m doing so far with this blog and what you all would like to see in the future.  This blog is only as good as it’s content. If i’m not putting up news and information that you want to read, it’s kind of pointless, right?

So, I’m asking and encouraging you all to please leave comments, emails, anything at all.  I’m even going to set up an instant messenger account (either on Yahoo or Skype) for those of you that would like to talk to me directly and exchange ideas. I would really appreciate the feedback.  Constructive criticism is always welcome as well.

Thanks everyone!

Earlier this month, we had the opportunity and privilege to host a due diligence luncheon for Geovic Mining Corp. (OTCBB: GVCM; TSX: GMC) in what has come to be known as America’s Finest City, San Diego, California.  And we decided that it would be a heck of a lot cheaper for us to bring the Company to you than to bring you to the Company.  To this end, we are pleased to provide you with Part one of a three part series featuring Jack Sherborne, the Company’s CEO and Andrew Hoffman, the Company’s Vice President, Investor Relations.  

At the end of the third video, Jack summarizes the opportunity quite nicely as follows, “As you can see, we have  no debt and we have cash in the bank, and we have a project that we’re very happy to talk about, and frankly it’s hard to find a whole lot of opportunities out there where you could have such a dominant potential mining project and basically can get it for not much more than the money that’s in the bank.”  Enjoy Part 1, Part 2 will be available shortly.  Click on the picutre below to watch the video.
