Book Reviews
I had actually self-diagnosed myself with Aspergers because I was having such a difficult time trying to figure out why people (including myself) do the things that do. The realization that my marriage was being effected by my nearly empty toolbox of social skills promoted me to take personal responsibility and shoulder the blame myself for once instead of blaming everyone around me for everything. Ive re-read and taken notes on the first section of the book several times now and my wife is noticing and she seems quite relieved, i had no idea I could impact another persons life so strongly. Like I said, I am only getting started with the book and it has already helped me enough to warrant a 5-star rating. Ive read numerous self help books in the past, seen a therapist for 3 years, been through the gauntlet of antidepressants, etc, and until now I thought I was wasting my time.

In my honest opinion, several principles in this book are repeated around the book. I did think several of the principles explained in the book are common sense, but I found that it could be easy for a person to react quickly to conflicts. This book has taught me the importance of staying in control and how beneficial it is to be in control of our behaviors and act in a way of service to others. The examples described in the book made it simpler to understand the concepts that Dale is teaching. This book is especially beneficial for those who are working on their businesses and close relationships. The first half of the book discusses techniques in handling people and how to have people like you. The final half of the book gives instructions about how to win people to our own thinking and how to be a leader by changing people without offending them or causing resentment.
He further describes complaining and criticizing as a foolish task to do and how it takes a person of character to understand, forgive, and have self-control. With this principle, he describes the importance of self-expression and connects it to the importance of thinking in terms of the other person, so that they come up with your ideas on their own, which they will like more. Dale then describes the importance to recall a persons name in the third principle. He gives tips on how to remember and then explains how people enjoy the sound of their own name. He further explains this point in principle five: Talk in terms of the other persons interests. Dale describes in the third part of the book the steps to have a person think in terms of your own thoughts.
In the final part of the book, Dale again discusses the importance of beginning with praise and honest appreciation. Dale then gives examples of giving a person a reputation that makes them better, in order to have the person be motivated to improve. The book basically tells you to be agreeable to everybody, find something to honestly like about them and compliment them on it, talk about their interests only and, practically, act like a people pleaser all the time. Case in point: after being a smiley happy person with loads of friends for about a year, the unpleasant realization began to creep in, that by being so agreeable to everybody else, I rarely ever got my way. I also sustained friendships with people who were self-centered, so talking about their interests was all we got to do together, which drained me of my energy.
I suppose, for somebody who is a better judge of character, the principles outlined in this book *could* be of some value. But that's really just me trying to find something positive (using the "principles") in a book that I am still trying to UNlearn. Do not read it out of fear of rejection & low self-esteem, there are better ways to gain some courage in approaching people. I've heard people mention it for years and years and thought the idea of it was so stupid. The way some people talked about it made it seem like it was a book for scoundrels or for socially awkward people. The main point of this book is that if you want to have friends and be successful, you should be nice not mean. As I've read this book (and I'll work hard to do this from now on) I've tried to think more about the other person's perspective when I disagree with them and it helps so much.
Dale, saying people's names often when you're talking to them, Dale, doesn't make you popular, Dale, it makes you sound like a patronizing creep. Shortly after reading this book, I was a little bit better at communicating and a little bit happier about my interactions with others in general. It's an icon of self help books and that was a problem because I kind of hate that genre. As I said above, it had some good advice about the subject of win friends and influence people although there was a lot of filler in order to make his principle into a book. One of the problems I had with the author and one I find too often in self-help books is the condescending tone, the ones that tells you how smart he is and that she is the only one capable to tell you how success is achieved. Anyone who thinks this book offers important wise advice on friendship is an idiot.
Now fans of this book (why such people are allowed to read, much less vote, I do not know) will say this book helped them overcome their shyness and make real friendships. One need only read all the garish claims on the back of the book (I have an earlier edition than the one usually found in bookstores today) such as, say, "Increase your earning power" "(Carnegie's book will) [m]ake you a better salesman, a better executive. "If the book were really about true friendship, as its many lobotomized fans insist, then one would expect the blurbs to claim that the book will make the reader a better friend, not a better salesman. A true friend cares about his friends, but a salesman cares about his profit, and if friendship come between him and his profit, then so much for friendship.
For instance, if they knew anything about the Age of the Robber Barons, they might have found Dale Carnegie's depiction of Andrew Carnegie as a man truly concerned for the lot of his fellow man a bit hard to stomach. Sure, Andrew Carnegie smiled a lot and presented a friendly appearance to the press and public, and that was enough for Dale. Yet, I suspect those who swear by this book will continue to have nothing but admiration for Dale Carnegie, whose sycophantic adulation for the ruthless rich who killed off unionized workers and funded the genocide of the weak should offend, repel, and disgust anyone with even a modicum of human thought and decency. It's considered corny to read books like this, but that kind of cynicism is ultimately limiting and counterproductive.
A book that aims to turn us into manipulating individuals who would want to achieve their means through flattery and other verbal-mental tricks. To make people like you, compliment them, talk in terms of their wants, make them feel important, smile big, and remember their name. The most common criticism lodged at this book is that it teaches manipulation, not genuine friendship. Well, I agree that this book doesnt teach how to achieve genuine intimacy with people. A real friendship requires some self-expression, and self-expression is not part of Carnegies system. Good friends aren't like difficult customers; they are people you can argue with and vent to, people who you don't have to impress.
He never advocates being duplicitous: Let me repeat: The principles taught in this book will work only when they come from the heart. He sees people as inherently selfish creatures who are obsessed with their own wants; egotists with a fragile sense of self-esteem: People are not interested in you. Already in this book, we have what I call Self-Help Miracle Storiesyou know, the stories about somebody applying the lessons from this book and achieving a complete life turnaround. Take, for example, this piece of advice on how to get the most out of the book: Make a lively game out of your learning by offering some friend a dime or a dollar every time he or she catches you violating one of these principles. Probably this book would be far more effective if Carnegie included some exercises instead of focusing on anecdotes.
Quote of the Day
I guess a bit part of serious fictionâs purpose is to give the reader, who like all of us is sort of marooned in her own skull, to give her imaginative access to other selves.
David Foster Wallace
I don't like conflicts and I found a lot of tips in this book about this topic. . so how not to be in fights with people. Success only came late in life when he was teaching an evening school class on the topic of how to win friends and influence people. His students would share their stories about changes in thinking or attitude which had changed their lives, these then made their way in to the book. As a result the book is a collection of anecdotes, many of which have people changing their circumstances or changing their lives by changing the way they thought, but all the same you think that the unending pile of washing up featured in one story always remains an unending pile of washing up whether you enjoy it, despise it, value it or feel oppressed by it.
On the sinister side this is a book that celebrates positive thinking, which is to say that it ignores a realistic appraisal of the world in favour of having your cake and eating it, on one level this is a fairly harmless book on another it tends towards The Secret and the belief that others and oneself are to blame if you die when a ferry sinks, or if you are persecuted, or if you develop cancer because plainly such things only happen because you weren't positive enoughIt is only a short book and won't harm you if you give it a read, but despite the title doesn't have a lot of advice on how to win friends or influence people. A good book to lend to people with a big smile as they will suspect that you are trying to win their friendship and/or influence them the beerfree way.
PRINCIPLE 3: Remember that a persons name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language. This was really the world's first self-help book and undoubtedly helped many people build their self-esteem. The one criticism that many have justly laid on it is the feeling that you are manipulating people into being your friends or accomplices (thus the "win" in the title). A more appropriate use of the book is how to behave and fit in in corporate America and for that, other than losing the tie and the hat, manners and ambitions have not changed so much for the book to become irrelevant. Through the examples of many famous and successful people throughout history, this book teaches us how to work with others and be nice.
I love this book and am going to require that my children read it before they get a job, a drivers' license, or a date. It is a total of 236 pages but the essence could be boiled down to 12 at most. Regardless of my skepticism and cynicism, I found How to Win Friends and Influence People to be extremely applicable and relevant. Carnegie seems how to win friends to mean the accumulation of calculated, beneficial relationships. I feel very strongly that friends are the people we can be dicks to, the people we can get drunk with, yell at, act stupid, and not have to worry about the third of six ways to make people like you (remember their name). Everyone else youre actually nice to (bosses, co-workers, certain family members, people you pass on the street) are not friends. Friends are the people you can tell to fuck off and theyll still drive you to the airport at 6am the next day.
Carnegie thwarts our skepticism about the nobility of his intentions and promises that he is no self-help scammer, a Kevin Trudeau, Carnegie promises, he is not:Easy to understand advice for building and improving positive and successful relationships with people in all areas of your life. Not a book per se for making friends, although it certainly can be used that way (with a grain of salt perhaps), but more directly a book that promotes good communication, kindness, and the social skills to foster healthy and productive working relationships. That's antisocial suicide. Stage 2: Go into asshole mode – make snide remarks, but be nice enough so the person will let you keep making snide remarks. Stage 3: Have no tact or diplomacy because that means you're lying and possibly weak. Stage 4: Finally decide you may like them and go into nice-but-hyper-and-distracted mode.
It is one of the most popular and influential books of its type ever and provided the foundations for contemporary self-help celebrities, such as Oprah Winfrey, as well as much of current motivational and organizational psychology that one finds in current business school curricula. Confidence and self-reliance are no doubt important personal characteristics in personal success. On the other hand, however, much of what we do in social life involves either trying to accomplish something through other people or having other people trying to use us to accomplish something of importance to them. The problem is that people who expect to be treated as independent persons do not appreciate being used by others for some personal end. Commercial partners do not appreciate being treated as friends when more immediate personal goals were the basis for interactions.
Without more specification of how and where to balance, however, the book becomes a more cynical effort to redefine the problem of positive social relations in the form of a solution — in order to influence people and get your way, treat them authentically. Every week for the past seven years my father has diligently asked me–without fail–whether or not I had finally read this book. How to Win Friends & Influence People changed my father's life when he first read it, back during the 1970s, and as such he's wanted me to read it as well. I have three copies of this book in my house–the first an aqua paperback my father originally bought for me, the second the very same paperback my father re-bought for me when in a fit of rebellion I told him I'd lost the first copy, and the third my father's own disheveled edition he brought back from India.
Thus, having read How to Win Friends & Influence People I truly cannot influence people unless I find myself in the same exact situations outlined by Carnegie. I offer genuine praise when I enjoy a blog post, I take the time to read–or "listen"–to what others have to say, I use their name when commenting because it builds that personal connection. When it comes to winning friends, I think we all undergo certain trajectories in life where we make genuine friends and others where we don't, but we learn from those experiences to know the advice Carnegie puts into chapters. So, the first part of this book was useless, the second part–"influence people"–isn't as helpful as it should be and the last part, leadership attributes, are yet again qualities I don't think can be completely taught.
At the end of the Great Depression, Dale Carnegie wrote one of the benchmark self-help books of American literary history. His title, How to Win Friends and Influence People, was probably used to win and influence book sales rather than cleverly and accurately describe the content of his book. I guess the whole idea is that when you are agreeable, intellectual, considerate, proper, quick, thoughtful and strong, people will go out of their way to be nice to you and do you favors. That social axiom is my particular beef with self-help books in general. But with uninterrupted sales since the late 30s and over 15 million copies sold worldwide, Carnegies book is well worth the reador the skim. (Emerson, As quoted by Dale Carnegie, How to Win Friends and Influence People, p. (Dale Carnegie, How to Win Friends and Influence People, p.

Hopelessly devoted to DanThe government is your servant, not your friend
March 2017
Arts & Letters
Traditionally, an addiction memoir involves the author turning over every rock to examine the nasty things that squirm beneath. Then there's a hasty crescendo, in the final chapter, to redemption. The author is suddenly a goodly sober. The reader, only a second ago skidding in gory detail, is showered with rose petals. Or, rather, pelted with sobriety chips.
Former wine critic Alice King named the last section of her memoir High Sobriety after an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) slogan – 'One Day at a Time'. Elizabeth Wurtzel, who wrote the Gen X–defining memoir Prozac Nation, found 'Redemption' in the final pages of her Ritalin-fuelled follow-up, More, Now, Again. Caroline Knapp's Drinking: A Love Story spent a few weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and has become perhaps the best-known booze memoir. By its conclusion, Knapp was attending "four or five" AA meetings a week. Even the brutal-witted Augusten Burroughs is no exception. He curtailed his ad-exec antics in Dry with a chapter in which he takes a walk with an AA newcomer called Jim. It's a literary device with which to impart some 12-step wisdom.
Cat Marnell, however, breaks all the rules of the addiction memoir.
"There's a bottle of Adderall right next to me on Mimi's peacock feather tray as I sit writing this … I guess that's the bad news," she admits in the afterword of How To Murder Your Life (Ebury Press; $35), and also cops to some doctor shopping. "Yes, my addiction is still very much part of my life – distracting me with cravings, obsessive thoughts, and negative self-talk … I remain in the danger zone. Things could – and probably will – get bad again!"
For this, her first book, the 34-year-old American beauty writer received a rumoured $500,000 advance from Simon & Schuster, having already reached cult status through columns that detailed the ugliest aspects of her speed use. Her style is fast and unfettered, popping with technicolour detail; the smart wit of Carrie Fisher crashes up against the unapologetic amorality of Bret Easton Ellis.
Marnell got her start interning on New York's Condé Naste mastheads and became associate beauty editor at Lucky magazine, but it was at the now-folded website xoJane that she was encouraged to pull back on the mascara reviews and instead give lurid accounts of her benders. Often the two topics would intriguingly intertwine.
Editor-in-chief Jane Pratt's relationship to Marnell verged on that of enabler, without even getting to the times Pratt filmed her protégée in the office snorting actual bath salts (as opposed to Marnell's favoured PCP) and eating Kleenex to demonstrate a weight-loss technique, but then xoJane encouraged all of its contributors to cannibalise themselves. Typical headlines included 'My Rapist Friended Me on Facebook (and All I Got Was This Lousy Article)' and 'I Spent Two Weeks in a Mental Institution, But Left With Better Hair'.
Marnell's notoriety began to earn her coverage on rival websites, such as Gawker and Jezebel. She was profiled in New York magazine and nicknamed "Hot Bukowski" in Rolling Stone. In a 2013 interview with Bullett, she was asked if she felt that it was now her responsibility to be fucked up. "Yeah! It is," she replied. "When I was in rehab I didn't tell anybody I was there, so people started tweeting, 'You're so boring now.' And I didn't think that would bother me, but it totally did."
With Marnell's personal brand now crystallised in her Twitter bio as "downtown disaster", it's unsurprising that in what should be the grand redemption chapter of How To Murder Your Life she admits to getting wasted after receiving the publishing advance. So wasted that she didn't begin writing the book until the day it was due.
Marnell's rejection of the redemption narrative is unusual when considering the modern canon, but long before AA co-founder Bill Wilson conceived the idea of addiction "recovery" a book often heralded as "the original addiction memoir" was similarly written under the influence.
Confessions of an English Opium-Eater was a sensation when London Magazine serialised it in 1821. Like Marnell, Thomas De Quincey was a precocious young journalist and frightful namedropper, rewarded by editors for mining his personal life.
The following year, when the instalments were published in a book, De Quincey added an appendix. "Those who have read the Confessions," he wrote, "will have closed them with the impression that I had wholly renounced the use of opium." In fact, he now admitted, he had only cut down on his drug use (he would continue to use opium for the rest of his life), but considered that this reduction in dose "might well suppose that the victory was in effect achieved".
Confessions is a meta-memoir, in that De Quincey breaks the fourth wall throughout. It's a technique that makes the reader complicit, gets their fingerprints all over the goods. De Quincey himself is presented as a rogue living by his wits, in a style that American psychonaut Terence McKenna coined pharmo-picaresque. Marnell similarly addresses the reader, though in less florid language. "Warning! If you are grossed out by 'white girl privilege' (who isn't?), you might want to bail now." In a chapter about her childhood, she admits to being from a well-to-do white suburb, "and there's nothing I can do about that. Believe me, I have tried to cut this chapter out twice! My editor keeps making me put it back in."
In January, Marnell acknowledged to US website The Fix that the book is "voicey". "I was putting in the dumbest jokes, just to make myself laugh, because it was so unbearable," she said, discovering, upon playing with her various prescriptions, that Vyvanse (an ADHD stimulant considered to be safer than Adderall) robbed her of that humour.
Actually, Marnell frequently plays up to the public caricature of her as wasted beauty queen with a cringe-worthy reflection. When she first meets her drug buddy Marco he tells her that he hasn't got a heroin connection yet, but he's working on it. "'Amazing,' I said." When, at boarding school, word gets around that she needs an abortion, she loudly drops a baby doll on the floor of the school library, smeared with stage blood. "Very Michael Alig at Disco 2000," she notes, a reference to the gruesomely themed parties Alig threw in New York's club kids scene.
And then there's the bonus that ADHD medication is an appetite suppressant. "By April, I looked like Nicole Richie when she had that mysterious wasting disease – that is, incredible!"
Does the addiction memoirist have a social responsibility to steer away from promoting the benefits of drugs? De Quincey was criticised for romanticising opium and not devoting enough attention to its harms. Marnell can be prescriptive without any duty of care.
"I guzzled bottle after bottle of something called the Ritual Cleanse," she writes. "Have you tried it? It's about seventy-five thousand bottles of expensive juice, and you sort of feel like you're drinking gazpacho, and if you take Vyvanse with it you actually stick to the diet. That's a tip … it's all worth it because if you do it fifteen days in a row, your legs absolutely start to look like arms."
We don't need signposts to see the real-life struggle behind the bravado, and Marnell knows that. What could have been highlighted more stringently is the irresponsibility of prescription-happy psychiatrists. Just as De Quincey discovered opium as a form of pain relief, Marnell was originally medicated with speed for her ADHD by her psychiatrist father – and packed off to boarding school. In an interview with the Telegraph she described her mother as "a vacant lot with a Cartier watch". She recounted to a Bullett journalist how, aged 25, she had gone to see her father and admitted to being hopelessly addicted to Adderall. "Adderall isn't addictive," he told her.
There's the sense that Marnell has been continuously failed by those around her, even though her writing is devoid of self-pity and self-analysis. (In that respect she differs from De Quincey, who even makes us sit through accounts of his dreams.) She recalls the time in April 2012 when she was put on disability leave from xoJane and entered a rehab program. "'I don't understand this company!' I exploded. 'I literally just got a raise based on the strength of a piece about never shutting up about my drug use! It went viral on the Internet! I have a boss who encourages brutal honesty, and I write about addiction, and then it's used against me in Human Resources meetings and I get put on disability?'"
Never mind. After subsequently losing that job due to not showing up for a week, and after admitting to the New York Post that she'd rather just smoke angel dust with her friends, Marnell was awarded a column by Vice. Entirely dedicated to her drug-taking, 'Amphetamine Logic' offered readers a superior rubber-necking experience.
Judging by the book proposal for How To Murder Your Life, which was leaked to Jezebel, it was always Marnell's intent to keep using. "To be clear," she concludes in the outline, "this book is not a recovery memoir." Rather, she intended to write about her "ambivalence" about drugs. In a 2012 interview with Vice she admitted, "I'm really not planning on getting better."
Even if your pawn is willing, should you play it? When Simon & Schuster, whose most recent controversial signing is alt-righter Milo Yiannopoulos, made its offer to Marnell, it prompted the Atlantic headline 'Cat Marnell's Book Deal Could Buy a Lot of Drugs'.
As was the case with De Quincey, copycat memoirists are sure to clone Marnell like so many Gucci rip-offs. Her own story will undoubtedly be made into a film; she's already been immortalised as fashion blogger Jade Winslow in the American TV comedy-drama Younger. But Marnell herself is a cliffhanger in the most terrifying context: her alchemistic use of uppers and downers, combined with an eating disorder, makes her a prime candidate for accidental overdose.
De Quincey wrote in his appendix that the memoirist needs to at least appear to be reformed, "because the very act of deliberately recording such a state of suffering necessarily presumes in the recorder a power of surveying his own case as a cool spectator, and a degree of spirits for adequately describing it which it would be inconsistent to suppose in any person speaking from the station of an actual sufferer".
Certainly it's much safer for the addiction memoirist to declare themselves sober before reflecting on their history, so that they may play the role of archaeologist, combing through a past life. The memoirist who admits to actively using cannot distance themselves from criticism, either from within or without. It's a bold act of defiance.

Agropur closes the 2012 fiscal year with a remarkable performance Français
Feb 13, 2013, 10:00 ET
LONGUEUIL, QC, Feb. 13, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Agropur Cooperative held its 74th Annual General Meeting today at the Palais des congrès de Montréal, welcoming close to 1,000 attendees comprising members and employees, business partners and guests from the agri-food industry, and highlighting its remarkable performance for the year.
The Cooperative's sales continued to grow during the fiscal year ended November 3, 2012, reaching $3.7 billion, which represents a 5.1% increase over the previous year. Of note, there were 53 weeks in Fiscal 2012 compared to 52 in 2011. Earnings before interest, taxes, amortization and joint ventures (operating surplus) increased by $1.8 million, reaching $246.8 million for Fiscal 2012. Agropur declared $101.6 million in patronage dividends to its members spread all over the province of Québec.
"Globally, the Cooperative is in a more solid position than ever, and our operating results achieved a remarkable level again this year. This means that we have the resources that we require to pursue our growth", explained Agropur CEO Robert Coallier.
Merger of Agropur Cooperative and Farmers Co-operative Dairy Limited
On February 11, 2013, the Agropur Board of Directors announced the merging of its activities with those of Farmers Dairy, a well-known cooperative in the Atlantic Provinces. This merger is in line with Agropur's vision, which is to enhance milk processing by cooperatives for the benefit of members' milk producers.
Launch of iögo
2012 was also marked by an historic event for the organization, namely the launch of the new iögo brand, which was spearheaded by its joint venture, Ultima Foods. Initial sales results are extremely promising, and thanks to the positioning of the brand and significant investments, Ultima Foods was able to establish widespread distribution in record time. "We are very optimistic about our future in the yogurt industry", declared Serge Riendeau, Chairman of the Cooperative.
The Cooperative continued to build on the success of recent years, launching innovative value-added health products in 2012. Agropur entered the year in full stride with the nationwide launch of Baboo, which opened up a brand new category of dairy products intended for toddlers aged 12 to 24 months, and the launch of Natrel dark chocolate milk. With respect to fine cheeses, a number of new products were introduced on the market, including the Crème de Grand Cheddar and Agropur 75, which is a washed-rind artisan cheese that is made in Oka to commemorate the Cooperative's 75th anniversary.
75th anniversary
Since 1938, Agropur has been working tirelessly to satisfy the needs of its thousands of consumers. Toward this end, its 3,288 members have combined their expertise with that of its employees and the numerous agents involved in the collection and distribution of milk in order to ensure that the final product meets every expectation. "This tremendous collective effort was the inspiration for the theme of our 75th anniversary celebrations: 75 Years of Passion!", concluded Mr. Riendeau. The celebrations will continue throughout the year, encompassing a variety of activities.
About Agropur
Founded in 1938, Agropur is a leader in the Canadian dairy industry. With sales of close to $3.7 billion, the Cooperative is a source of pride for its 3,288 member dairy producers and 5,500 employees.

British Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman introduces the May 2013 issue:

If you were to draw up a list of the top 10 most famous women
in the world, you would find Beyoncé pretty near the top. Yet
despite that, this year she has put her foot firmly on the fame
accelerator with another world tour, performances at President
Obama's inauguration and the Super Bowl, and directing and
producing her own documentary film of personal footage and
webcam-style confessionals about her family, life and work. It's a
great time for us to feature Beyoncé as our cover star, her first
appearance in British Vogue. As a superb musical
performer, she has created her own - much emulated - high-voltage
style, and in Arthur Elgort's shoot ("Mrs Carter Uncut") we decided
to focus on her athleticism and energy.

Another kind of musical energy
is remembered in Paolo Roversi's tribute to punk, "Pretty Vacant",
on the eve of a number of new exhibitions celebrating that
movement. At the time that punk was first recognised as a force, it
brought a completely different and disturbing aesthetic to both the
fashion and music scenes in this country. To someone like me, who
was starting university when the Sex Pistols and the King's Road
emporium Sex were on everyone's radar, it seems extraordinary to
see punk now honoured in such establishment venues as New York's
Metropolitan Museum and our own V&A.

Emma Hill, creative director of Mulberry,
is a great music fan and has used events such as California's
Coachella festival and performers such as Lana Del Rey to transform
the perception of the company from a home-town leather-goods house
to a considerable player on the international scene. Now one of the
most successful names in British fashion, Mulberry is embarking on
a new stage of growth, and in "Queen of the Hill", Emily Sheffield
takes us inside the company for a look at where it is heading.
Finally, for anyone who's been captivated by the renegade brilliance of detectives like Sarah Lund of The Killing and The Bridge's Saga Noren, Jo Ellison's interviews with the female DCIs of the British police force is a great read. They aren't woolly sweater fanatics and they aren't emotionally dysfunctional but, as the ultimate professionals, they share the same passion and commitment to the very difficult and demanding job they do.

"Persephone argued my case to him"...Persephone was the wife of Hades. After playing his sad song, Persephone was so moved that she convinced Hades to give him a chance. So he made a deal that he could take Eurydice back to the land of the living as long as he did not look back at her until they made it to the entrance to the world above. Orpheus, however, became paranoid that Hades had fooled him, as he could not hear Eurydice's footsteps, and looked back right before he made it to the upper world, only to see Eurydice being taken away from him because of his distrust in Hades' word. Very powerful story, and the Crüxshadows did an excellant job of telling it in song.

This is definitely my scene! Will be heading there for high tea & Picasso action :)
I love the idea of galleries trying to created a themed/matched menu to an exhibition - I think a lot of people out there would enjoy making a whole day of it. I know I do :)
The food looks pretty good - I've been seeing/eating heirloom tomato salads everywhere lately and tried to buy some heirloom tomatoes at the Adelaide Central Market this morning but was out of luck (query: why?). Shame about the undercooked fish, though...
Beautiful photos, Simon, as always.
I suspect that my invitation from Amy Glancey got lost in the mail somewhere ;)
Great post, stunning pics, Simon. Good to see you again, too!
Dishes look beautiful but I don't think I'd like that much goat's curd foam on my carpaccio.
hi vivian, i reckon the high tea with art will be a popular choice for many
hi christina, i remember seeing a tomato grower at eveleigh markets selling heirloom tomatoes. they have so much flavour.
hi ayden, i'm suspecting that must be the case as well ;-)
hi thang, hopefully see you at the next event. i'd love to visit cabramatta with you one day and have a pho soup. maybe in the new year when things settle down after the crazy season.
hi lateraleating, it seemed to work ok although i much prefer just cured meats on their own

History of Shrewsbury Town FC
Shrewsbury Town is an English football club situated in Shropshire near the England-Wales border. The club was established as far back as 1886, but did not officially join the English Football League until 1950. Shrewsbury Town's history has been confined to the lower tiers of English football, they currently play in League One, which is the third tier.
The low point in the history of Shrewsbury Town was a single season spent in the Conference Division, 2003/04. Since this point the club has slowly regained strength and league position working their way through League Two and into League One. The 2017/18 season was a particular highlight for the wearers of the Shrewsbury Town jerseys. The club finished 3rd in the league, making two appearances at Wembley Stadium:
- EFL Trophy Final – Lost 1-0 to Lincoln City
- League-One Play-Off Final – Lost 2-1 to Rotherham United
The squad may have failed to secure promotion of the EFL Trohpy however, the team and supporters alike go into the 2018/19 season full of hope for the future with new manager John Askey at the helm.
Shrewsbury Town Stadiums
In 2007 Shrewsbury Town took possession of their new home football stadium, New Meadow. New Meadow is a purpose built ground with a capacity of 9,875 fans, with the club averaging around 5,500 supporters clad in their Shrewsbury Town shirts, kit and accessories for every home fixture.
Other stadiums used by the club since their inception are as follows:
- 1910 – 2007: Gay Meadow
- 1895 – 1910: Barrack's Ground
- 1893 – 1895: Sutton Lane
- 1889 – 1893: Ambler's Field
- 1886 – 1889: Racecourse Ground
Development of the Shrewsbury Town Kit
Today Shrewsbury Town football club instantly conjures the image of the iconic blue and amber vertical stripe home shirt, however, this colour scheme was only introduced in 1978. Prior to this time the Shrewsbury Town jerseys have featured an array of styles and colour schemes. Blue has always been a colour featured in the clubs kits with plain blue shirts, blue and white vertical stripes, half and half as well as quartered designs featuring at least once in the clubs history.
By the early 1970's with Umbro as the Shrewsbury Town kit manufacturer the blue and amber colour scheme became mainstream but it was not until 1978 that the alternating vertical stripes were introduced. The stripes are well known and loved by fans, but despite this the team has had an array of kits over the past 30 years with varying combinations of blue and amber.
Since taking on the role of kit manufacturer in 2015 Errea has stuck closely to the popular striped design. The 2018/19 Shrewsbury home shirt has full stripes with plain blue sleeves and white trim around the neckline. This jersey is a must for every devout Shrewsbury Town supporters.

Turbo Power & Marine, United Technologies
The Turbo Power and Marine Division of United Technologies Corporation found that one control was as good as two. Its facility in Farmington, Connecticut, had two separate CAD rooms containing computer equipment and personnel that required independent constant temperature and humidity control. Although three contractors proposed using two separate systems with electric reheat, Gary Heck, President of H&L Mechanical Inc., proposed using a single APR Control to enhance a 5-ton Carrier air conditioning system. Heck said using a single control would reduce installation and operating costs.
His proposal recommended a single-circuit, 5-ton air cooled condensing unit with a refrigeration piping loop to separate two, 3-ton evaporators – each located in a CAD room. Each evaporator was to be controlled by a solenoid valve connected to a thermostat for independent operation. The patented APR-1.4 control by Rawal Devices was used to provide as much as 4 tons of capacity modulation to the nominal 5-ton refrigeration circuit. Capacity modulation permits the system to match changing load conditions in the two zones by responding to changes in temperature and pressure in the refrigeration suction lines.
Installed with simple piping conditions, the control forces the evaporator coils to operate in a continuously dehumidifying mode. Thus, the system provides consistent latent heat removal even when operating at partial load conditions. Electric reheat was initially included on each of the evaporators as a safety measure to supplement the load fluctuations and ensure proper system dehumidification.
The system proved effective and electric reheat was found to be unnecessary. In fact, the system has been so successful that Heck was invited to submit the only proposal for air conditioning two other CAD rooms built the following year. Turbo Power and Marine specifically requested use of the control and agreed to eliminate electric reheat coils from the system to reduce installed costs.

Here's where you assign a value to it:
but if there's no "publicK" parameter in the request then null is assigned to the variable. You'll want to put in some code which checks for that.
Also, there's no point in calling the toString() method of a String variable. Just use the variable itself.

Hey it's Colton again back with another I Mustache You post. I have a confession to make… Minor inconveniences or annoyances get on my nerves more than big ones.
For instance: I had to get my car inspected this weekend. But before I could do that, I had to go get new tires. I dropped my car off and then got a phone call 20 minutes later about how they couldn't find the "wheel lock key". So then I had to go pick up my car, and go to the dealership to buy a wheel lock key. Got the key, got my tires, and then got an inspection… Took all day.
That didn't annoy me HALF as much as having to dirty a bowl because the opening of the salsa jar wasn't big enough to just dip a chip straight in. Drives me nuts!
So, here are just some things that make my life easier, simpler, or just plain better.
Trader Joe's Garlic Chipotle Salsa
Not only is this the best salsa in existence, as far as taste goes, but (as I described above) the opening of the jar is big enough to dip ANY sized tortilla chip straight in. Now, I know what you're thinking; "That's not sanitary".
First of all, this is MY salsa, and I do what I want. Second, this is MY salsa, and I don't intend on sharing with anyone. Third, the jar has a big enough opening for me to load up each chip with as much salsa as I want, and I don't even have to double dip (in case I do, on the off-chance, share with someone). Lastly, I don't have to dirty a dish now, so technically I'm saving the environment which makes me a good person.
Bottle Opener Key
What the heck is up with all these hipster beer companies not putting a twist off cap on their bottles? I will admit that I do feel like .02% cooler opening a bottle with a bottle opener, but that's beside the point. Needing to hunt down a tool to open a delicious alcoholic beverage is an inconvenience.
I grabbed this house key/bottle opener at Home Depot a couple months ago. Now I get to feel .02% cooler without having to hunt down a bottle opener or use my wedding ring (not gonna lie though… I feel about 100% cooler when I open a beer with my ring).
Basics Wallet
I've been trying to simplify my wallet game for a long time, and it's finally happened. Here's the thing… If I have room for something, I'm going to put something there. I am my dad's son, in that regard, because we're both hoarders (sorry Dad, but it's true). As a small business owner with a bad back, being a wallet hoarder means I keep every receipt, and my back pays for it after sitting on a big bulky wallet all day.
With the Basics Wallet, I've only got room for the necessities: 4 credit cards, my drivers license, my insurance card, and some cash (I could actually fit a lot more if I wanted to). The rest of what I carried now lives in my glove compartment, and now I can carry my wallet in my front pocket!
The coolest part is that, with this wallet, you pull the tab in the back and all of your cards pop up for easy access. This is my new favorite thing. You can grab one from The Wallet Shoppe here.
Ikea Pant Hangers
So, as someone who likes a lot of bands, goes to a lot of shows, and also likes posters, I am constantly getting new posters for my office or around the house. So, rather than hang a ton of frames that I would have to swap out as often as my poster ADHD kicks in, I decided to just use Ikea pant hangers. They cost $1.99 each, and it takes about 30 seconds to swap out a poster. Plus, it looks pretty cool.
Spotify Radar Release
On that note, the other thing that is hard for me to keep up with in the music world is every time a band I like puts out a new album. From time to time I'll happen to see something on Facebook about a new album or song release, but it's rare and I don't like to let new music slip through the cracks… I also don't like having to go hunt it all down. Who has the time?
Spotify has a new channel called "Radar Release". It's a curated weekly playlist of new music from your favorite bands, or bands you might like based off of your other preferences. Just this week, I discovered that 4 of my favorite bands had put out new music is the last couple months that I knew nothing about. Game changer.
Hopefully, after reading this, you've discovered one or two things that could make your life easier too!
You're welcome.

The Vampire Diaries Recap "Bring It On"
The Vampire Diaries "Bring It On": The Good, the Bad, and the Bloody
The Vampire Diaries is back this week with some vampire rebellion, as Elena gets to be a bad girl after her feelings are turned off. While she's busy with her rampant feeding, dancing, and making everyone uncomfortable, Stefan and Caroline worry about her behavior, and Damon is looking for clues about Katherine's whereabouts.
We get a surprising dose of steaminess from someone who's waited a very long time for some action — Klaus! However, I do have some mixed feelings about it. Let's get down to that, plus the other good, bad, and bloody after the jump.
The Good
- After Damon's request that she stop feeling, Elena goes girl-ripper and starts eating people with abandon, running her sassy mouth, and walking around naked (because everyone is showering at the Salvatore house now). Cheerleader Elena is even back in action, doing herkies and biting into the competition. When she deliberately drops Caroline after having too much of her BFF's lectures, Stefan and Caroline decide they need to rein her in. It's Elena like we've never seen her before — or is it? Because she looks very much like Katherine to me.
- Turns out the sire bond isn't working, because Elena's feelings are related to the power of the bond. Stefan takes charge in keeping her under control by vervaining her, but she can't be controlled. Vampires always love a good party, so Elena throws a big one at the Salvatores' (to the tune of pop culture's current rebellion anthem "I Love It" by Icona Pop). I kind of love Elena's funny forthrightness about how good Stefan looks and how good their sex was. Did you just blush, Stefan?
- Uh, hello, sparks on the dance floor! Caroline challenges Stefan to have fun at Elena's impromptu party and suggests he grab a girl to dance with — so he picks her. Listen, sometimes the Stefan-and-Caroline chemistry can't be denied, and let's face it: those two both need to have some fun. Even Elena thinks so!
- I'm happy to see Klaus back, and I have to be happy for the dude for finally getting some action (who knows how long it's been — centuries?!). He gets it on with Hayley, who's staying with him while he tries to get info out of her about Katherine. This informational interview is conducted by wining and dining her (which reminds me: hey, Klaus, I have some information about Katherine too).
- After Elena almost hurts Caroline's mom, they get into a vampire girl fight in the forest. Elena has some choice words for Caroline, taunting her about her dirty thoughts about Klaus (tell us more!), among other things. Honestly, Caroline kind of deserves it for all the crap she talked about Elena's feelings for Damon at the beginning of the season.
- Damon's preoccupied with finding Katherine and the cure this week, but I'm glad that he still finds time for Elena — and that they still have chemistry, despite the no-feelings thing. Interestingly, Elena tries to get him to admit that he likes her better bad. He doesn't answer, but he does have a plan: going to NYC. Road trip!
- Caroline, still trying to get ahold of Tyler, finally hears from him via a letter he sent to Matt. At Tyler's house, she learns that he isn't coming home anytime soon, but he's invited Matt and Caroline to stay in his big mansion. Are Caroline and Matt going to live in the house? And stop being polite, and start getting real?
The Bad
- Like I said, I'm happy Klaus finally got it on with someone, but I don't love that it's Hayley. She's more annoying than usual in this episode, swanning around Klaus's house boozing it up and judging his art. Why does Hayley get to get all that Klaus lovin'?
- I'm also annoyed that the writers are still trying to make us care about Hayley's parentage. Stop trying to make this story line happen. It's not going to happen.
- I liked that we didn't have to hear too much about Silas this week, save for a mention of him when the gang thinks he may be stealing all the blood reserves from the hospital. The only bad thing is that it sounds like we'll be hearing from him soon, and I'd rather he and this plot line just die.
The Bloody
- Elena is impressively ferocious this week, feeding on an innocent motorist and a sweet cheerleader. I'm glad it looks like she'll stay this way a little while longer before going back to being the Elena who feels all the things.
What did you think of this week's episode?

Every year, my heart brings me back to Lesvos, Greece. I've often said that Lesvos is my favorite place in the world. It's everything – the ocean breeze, the fresh food, the friendly and warm people, feeling like I've been dropped into the middle of a painting, it's the olive trees, all the sun… everything wonderful! No matter what journey you're on, you will find yourself falling more and more in love with Lesvos each time you visit. What's more is you will be playing a role in the refugee crisis, just by visiting, with a positive impact on the people who directly helped refugees seeking safety. You most likely won't see any refugees during your visit, however, the news articles that perpetuate the notion that Lesvos is still being overwhelmed with refugee boats keeps tourists away and the local economy down. I'll get you started with the basics in this guide!
Seeking Yoga Teachers for a Free Retreat in Greece!
- News
- lesvos, meditation teachers travel free, spiritual teachers, the other aegean, yoga retreat in greece, yoga teachers travel for free
Are you a yoga teacher seeking an opportunity to deepen and discover more about your personal practice with more experiences, and with other people, around the world?
I'm still riding the high of emotions, breath-taking views, and the delicious fried feta pies. This month we successfully completed our first Crew Travelers' trip to Lesvos, where a group of strangers from all around the world became a family, as they joined together to help in the refugee crisis during the Dirty Girls Beach Clean Up. Of course we also took time to explore Molyvos, and fell in love with the Lesbians (C'mon, you didn't think I would write grammatically incorrect sentences, did you?). If you care to read a more detailed account of our trip (and learn more about the refugee situation), check out My Big Fat Greek Adventure! While I recounted our trip activities there, I felt I needed to take a moment here to paint the picture that drew me in.
I woke up one morning in April to a calling, a direct line to my heart from the universe. As a citizen of the world, I knew that I had to do something with the passion and outrage stirring within me over the global refugee crisis the world has been watching. After all, we are all connected through our humanity. It was time to go see it for myself, and to create a space of opportunity for other airline crew who want to do the same.

If I write a piece of Python code: filename = 'some path/some name' I might call it a filename, I might think of it as a filename, but it *isn't*, it's a string in a Python program. It isn't a filename until it hits the file system, and in POSIX systems that makes it bytes. -- Steven D'Aprano

Golfing programme for 2019
We are pleased to provide our proposed livery golf opportunities for 2019.
We have 16 events on the programme this year, in addition to our tour to the New Forest, all on fine courses.
Most events are golf days which normally involve:
- morning golf
- teams of 4 players
- stableford scoring off full handicap with best two individual scores per hole to count towards a team score; plus, nearest pin, long drive
- three course lunch
They are very convivial and the best two from four scoring at each allows all players, whatever their standard, to contribute and to enjoy the fun of playing for the team.
Tour to the New Forest – We have 20 golfers and 6 non-golfers signed up for our three-day visit to the New Forest – there is room for a couple more.
The Horners' Match is usually 8 a side, playing as four 4 ball better ball matches
Master's Day, at West Byfleet on 6th August is an afternoon round followed by dinner. There is an individual stableford competition, as well as a team event; guests are welcome. The Master is invited to join for dinner. Further information will be provided later.
Put your name down – volunteering to play
To help with planning, I would be grateful if you could let me know in which events you would like to play – either by a simple e-mail or by returning a marked-up version of the attached schedule. This allows me to allocate places as widely as possible early in the season. I am confident that I will be able to include everyone who volunteers in at least one event during the season.
There is always flexibility to withdraw, or to volunteer late, as we go through the season so please do register your interest even if your diary is not certain.
We are always delighted to welcome new members to our golf section so if you are interested in trying an event, please get in touch.
As the season progresses, I will provide more information on upcoming events and an update on spaces to fill.
If I can help with any additional information, please contact me

SUBJECT: Sophisticated Bigotry, or lack thereof.
COMMONTATOR: Derek Piatkowski (a.k.a. MCWickadPolack)
I tell you what up wit me. I need to jack up my rhymes wit some dope slang, but all I got is lame-ass shit from way back when.
Black rappers are so lucky. They got the N-word. For reals. They've taken it, and turned that motha inside out. Preverterated that shit. Like a badge of honor.
But let's get real for a second. I want my own n-word to throw back in your face. Problem is, as I see it, you people (that's right, I said "you people") have been frontin' on the white slur front.
Whitey? The best you can do is stick a 'y' on the end of white?
Cracker? Where am I, 1956 Atlanta? A Nabsico factory? That's the sexist equivalent of calling a ho a ho. Ninja, please.
Honky? Only if The Jeffersons were still swampin' teh televitz.
Listen, I'm gonna drop the shiz, so I can all gets real for you. Hardcore.
Let's face it. The whole anti-white bigotry scene is lame. Minorities need to step up their race game — stop messing around at the low end of the racism Bell Curve, if you know what I mean.
Get out of the shallow end of the shallow thinking pool. It's time for all you non-whites to bring it with some new, out-of-the-box insultage. Get hurtful. Take all that shit you've gone through for eons of time and turn it around. Channel it into a white-hot ball of white hate. And then, let if flow. Think of every champagne-colored Camry you've seen in your life. Think about baseball ... Malcolm Gladwell ... Old Navy ... TED Conferences ... Talbot's and Talbot's Petites.
Or just think about the last McDonalds' commercial you saw. I don't how you guys still put up with that condescending shiz.
Or you could just go on talking about my lack of dance moves or my ass inferiority. That's innovative and especially hurtful, believe me.
Go ahead, look up 'white racial slurs' at Urban Dictionary. Mothafucka's not even defined yet!
I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Whites have teams of expert word scientists working round the clock in some Swiss village propagating new horribly derogatory terms for the more pigmented among us. Millions of dollars are being funneled through Chik-Fil-A franchises and Aaron's Rental businesses into this diabolical global effort.
It's sad but true. What do you have? Six guys on a stoop in Milwaukee?
Listen to me. It's not fair. But it never has been. It's going to take a special effort. Think of it as a Million Man March, only with a purpose.
So, get up, take off your bedroom slippers, put your marching boots on, and gets real with the white hatred. Bring it, yo, cuz I can't omnipotize my dope rhymes without that heavy-duty shiz.
