A casino mogul, under investigation for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, is the largest single contributor to the Presidential hopes of former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and the one keeping the campaign afloat.
Sheldon Adelson calls himself "the richest Jew in the world" and he used those riches to help Gingrich rise from the political ashes to become a frontrunner for the GOP Presidential nomination.
Adelson, owner of Las Vegas Sands Corp., and his wife Miriam, have pumped more than $10 million into a shadow political action committee backing Gingrich, federal campaign disclosure records reveal.
Campaign finance experts tell Capitol Hill Blue the donations rank as the largest known donations to a single campaign in American history.
Adelson funded a 28-minute film attacking former GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney's tenure as head of Bain Capital. The film is considered a major factor helping Gingrich come from a fifth place finish inthe Iowa caucuses to an upset win in the South Carolina primary.
His contributions also provided most of the funding for a $6 million ad buy in Florida. The spots will attack Romney's health care plan in Massachusetts with claims it was the foundation for President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
Both the FBI and the Securities and Exchange Commission are investigating Adelson for crimes under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. He owns casinos in Las Vegas, Macau and Singapore.

In Iowa, Santorum support goes from 3% (where it was for weeks) to 25% in all of three days!!
Isn't that statistically impossible unless he was handing out gold bars?
Ron Paul had been leading Polls up to that point, ends up in third on election day.
In South Carolina, the GRINCH had to cancel a rally due to poor attendance.
The GRINCH campaign received a $5 MILLION dollar donation from an Israeli lobbiest, Sheldon Adelson.
The GRINCH manages to somehow pull out a victory despite NOT inspiring real people to show their support!!
South Carolina's Attorney General Alan Wilson agrees with you, as do I.
Primary elections have always been linked to 'dirty politics', ballot box stuffing, intimidation etc. It's simply linked to partisan frenzy; I.E.,getting their main man/woman nominated at any price, regardless of their ethical bonafides etc.
The sad state of this process is that we have citizens motivated by a demonstrable low metric in determining who's going to be offered to the greater electorate in the general election. Independents are out of the loop due to their non-alignment with parties, leaving only party apparatchiks and ideologues to determine who's going to be served up to the rest of us in November 2012…OUCH! : (
So we have a relative minority of rabid partisans determining what's best for America and it ain't good with the likes of these candidates excepting candidate Ron Paul. Yep, he's old, not so glamorous, but he sticks to the serious issues that this nation must address or we're soon to be come a footnote in history. Believe it…!

As one of the decidedly not richest Jews in the world myself, I have to say I find it obnoxious if Sheldon Adelson calls himself "the richest Jew in the world". I have no reason to doubt he has said this.
I find it somewhat less obnoxious that when you Google worlds richest Jews to top website is the Jerusalem Post article listing the 50th richest Jews in the world.
Actually Adelson is listed as number 15 there, but that isn't my point. Let others "brag" about your wealth or accomplishments. It is just tacky to brag about yourself.
( I do admit I came across a website showing pictures of the 50 most beautiful Jewish female celebrities and looked at all of them. )
If he said such he's just demonstrating a bit of chutzpah is all. He's a selfmade billionaire and based on his Wiki bio is entitled to say such regardless of it seeming somewhat tacky. : )
Upon digging into this story it turns out his wife Dr. Miriam Adelson, an Israeli physician dropped an additional 5 million on Newt in order to create the PAC.
Besides billionaires get bored, they need something to do with their money, even if it's wasting it on promoting a lost cause such as Newt Gingrich & Co.
Carl Nemo **==
Now, if we could just get Mr/Ms C.H.B. Staff to use pictures of them as lead-ins to the articles, we might enjoy them a bit more.
Sheldon Adelson surely isn't short on cash to pitch at campaign issues, but he's wasting his money on Gingrich. Newt Gingrich will never be President of the United States, simply ensuring another term for Barack Obama. It's said that Obama fears moreso a standoff against Mitt Rommney.
The real tragedy of this Gingrich party-based 'putsch' is that we have to suffer his belligerent, in our face, losing presence for many months come. Seemingly campaign 2012 is going to be a 'root canal' experience for the 'rethugs'. : ))
Carl Nemo **==
We have the best government money can buy.
…and still it's news!
would Americans really prefer Gingrich or Romney over Ron Paul?
War, and more war abroad?
Less liberty at home and more intrusion into our lives?
I don't believe it's true.
It doesn't add up when you think about it.
Too many people want the troops home.
Ron Paul has more support from military members than any other candidate.
Who's paying the media to say differently?
"Who's paying the media to say differently?" …extract from post
Seemingly it's the likes of Mr. Adelson & company that control presidential outcomes. Give the MSM enough 'grease' along with their world class ability to market just about any idea to our braindead electorate and voila you have a Barack Obama,Newt Gingrich, G.W. Bush or a Bill Clinton elected to the presidency regardless of whatever dirt can be found on them. Seemingly these media based entities have the power to get a 'ham sandwich' elected to our highest office.
"Ham Sandwich for President"…! =D>
Actually the idea sounds more palatable then the human meat puppets that end up holding office in these modern times all to our collective hazard.
Carl Nemo **==
Newt's backing those lobbyists right now. Ex politicians turned Lobbyists are the ones that get all of the Homeland Security / bogus war on terror / Defense contracts that are bankrupting us. This was Newt & the boys PNAC agenda. How do ya justify a Pentagon budget that went from 297 billion a year in 2001, to 600+ billion a year today? Add in the cost of the wars & the Homeland Security / bogus WOT crap, and we're pissing away like 1 trillion a year. He's backing those oil-stain lobbyists, too.
CarlNemo, yet again you have presented a view I agree with whole-heartedly. If not Ron Paul I'm afraid a ham sandwich would be the better choice. LOL!
Rich men (with alterior motives for our once Constitutional Republic) have most certainly benefited from the media-dumbing down of the masses.
Then again, maybe the masses see it clearly but the media is paid to report it differently than the results suggest?
A ham sandwich for pres?
I don't particularly care for ham but given the choice between Newt and ham, ham wins.
Oh, the hypocrisy of it all…
It's been awhile, but I don't know where else to post this, and I feel that anouther Thanks Doug is long past due. I just realized that there a probably a couple of million people saying the same things that I have been saying for probably about fifty years and the only way that I have promoted my thoughts and opinions were through CHB. From 1 to three, to a couple hundred, to thousands, to millions. It's not just me, all of America should be saying a big Thanks Doug.

- How Often to Clean Tobacco Pipe – Keeping it Clean
How Often to Clean Tobacco Pipe – Keeping it Clean
Smoking a tobacco pipe is a relaxing, enjoyable pursuit that has been followed for centuries. Almost every culture has its own version of the tobacco pipe, and if you're among the many who enjoy using tobacco pipes to unwind at the end of the day, you'll likely find that few things can match what it can do for you. However, no matter if you have a single pipe or a dozen, you need to take the time to properly clean and maintain them. You don't have to invest too much time into this endeavor, but you certainly want to keep your pipe clean for the best smoking results.
The first question that most people have concerning their tobacco pipes is just how frequently you need to clean them out. The simple answer is that you need to take the time to clean them after every single use. You'll want to ensure that you remove the ash that is left over after you smoke in your pipe as well as removing any unburned tobacco from the bowl. While you may be concerned about wasting money by tossing that unused tobacco, the truth is that leaving it in the bowl will only impart a bitter, unpleasant flavor to your next smoke.
Once per week you'll want to take the time to give a more complete cleaning to the pipe to ensure that it stays clean. Use a pipe cleaner and run it down the stem of your tobacco pipes a few times to remove any residue that may be accumulating in there, and then take a few minutes to run the cleaner around the bowl of the pipe and eliminate the sediment within it as well. While a quick clean after each smoke is important, this type of weekly maintenance will ensure that you take care of buildup that can reduce the quality of your pipe's performance and the flavor of your smoke.
There's also a chance that you will need to utilize a pipe solvent on a monthly or bimonthly basis. This solvent will break down buildups that a plain pipe cleaner won't have an effect on, help prevent your tobacco pipes from absorbing unwanted moisture, and ensure that you get the best smoke every time. In short, a combination of weekly and monthly cleanings along with a quick clean after each use will ensure that you enjoy your pipe smoking every time you light up.

Britain's Prince William and his wife Catherine the Duchess of Cambridge wrapped up their eleven day tour with a stopover in the Los Angeles area. Even though I deal with celebrity coverage on a daily basis and plan major award show coverage for Reuters, when I saw the pool assignment from the British consulate for their trip, it was an uh-oh moment for me.
In Los Angeles, the big 6 photo agency/media companies (LA Times, Reuters, AP, Getty, AFP and EPA) regularly pool images from celebrity trials and other high profile news events where it is not possible for all to cover. We have developed a friendly system that works for all. Half expecting this event to be business as usual, the official pooling plan became a web of complexity we as a group hadn't dealt with before.
I am an obsessive planner. If I can't get all the details in order way before the event, I get edgy. In the weeks before the event, information was scarce, the credentialing process difficult, and the unknown loomed larger by the day. Questions like, how many feet from riser to stage? How will we deliver the pool? What are our responsibilities to the UK WPA pool? All went unanswered. In the end I had to learn to relax and not sweat the details and let things play out on their own, because that's the way this event will operate. Acceptance of what I can't control became my mantra.
That's not to say we couldn't be as prepared as possible. You just have to plan for the unknown. Which included coordinating pool distribution from ourselves and new contributors that were not part of our regular rotation. When the pooling assignments came out the day the royal couple landed, we got together on a conference call to figure out how to produce the event. Reuters senior photographer Mike Blake came up with the idea of using Dropbox.com as a quick way to deliver the images with equality. It worked perfectly.
The call ended and just like that, the Canadian Air Force plane was rolling up on the tarmac at LAX. Reuters photographer Danny Moloshok was on the riser, and made a nice telephoto pic of the royals with the Canadian CG, Gov Jerry Brown. One pool down and 7 more to go. Reuters was not shooting pool on any of the Day One adventures, but plenty of unilateral and pool pictures arrived. Our remote editing software Paneikon allows us to get to the wire faster than the competition. By 7pm, I was waiting for pool pictures from the reception, where David Beckham was schmoozing with the Prince. He and his wife Victoria would have their fourth child days later. Mike Blake, who helped edit the Canadian leg of the trip, jumped on board to help Friday through the weekend. Los Angeles photographer Fred Prouser also helped crank out the images to our Singapore desk for the trip when he wasn't shooting.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - It's been two months since a Milwaukee police officer shot and killed a mentally ill man in the city's downtown Red Arrow Park.
Now, the victim's family is upset that the investigation is running so long -- and authorities are not telling them much about it.
Dontre Hamilton was killed April 30th, when a police officer found the victim on the ground -- and a struggle ensued as the officer tried patting him down. Police said the officer shot Hamilton as many as 10 times.
Monday, the Hamilton family's attorneys issued a statement saying that officials are not keeping the family up to date on the investigation.
The State Justice Department is leading the probe. Spokeswoman Dana Brueck said officers are communicating with relatives as much as possible while the investigation is ongoing.

Petersen seeks SR loan move
Southern Kings wing Sergeal Petersen is keen to join a South African Super Rugby franchise on loan for the 2014 season.
Petersen impressed for the Port Elizabeth-based franchise during the Super Rugby tournament earlier this year.
However, with the Kings relegated from next year's competition, he will be playing in the Vodacom Cup unless he can be added to one of the five other South African squads.
According to the EWN Sport website, Petersen has been negotiating with three Super Rugby franchises with the aim of representing them next year. The three franchises are believed to be the Stormers, Sharks and Cheetahs.
The 19-year-old flyer is contracted to the Kings until 2015, but they will allow him to go on-loan for the Super Rugby campaign should he reach an agreement with one of the franchises.
His agent, Wallis Roux, said they are considering their options at the moment and would like to get involved with a franchise that really shows an interest in him.
Meanwhile, it was also announced on Tuesday that Petersen will play for Kaizer Chiefs' rugby team in next weekend's Sevens Premier League in George.

First lamp worked for about 10 minutes, then not. Replacement lamp arrived promptly but the finial on the harp that holds the lamp shade seemed to have stripped, I kept it anyway because a small wedge of wooden match fixed the problem. The lamp is lovely. The stone base has a sort of verdi-gris finish and is very expensive-looking. I am using it in a dining room that is painted walls in pale taupe and has a rug with dull blues, pale gold, and accents of chocolate. The lamp is very heavy, therefore, unlikely to be knocked over by accident. I am pleased with this beauty.
We were very disappointed - the stone was more green - but the top and base were painted black - nothing like the bronze advertised. Sending it back and will pay the costfor shipping - which is irritating because it's not the same lamp they had in the picture and description.
Bought lamps for my family room. Was surprised when I open up the box, as they more more sage green than the cream showed in the picture, but ended up matching. The base is solid and the shade is a micro suede, which looks really nice. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase.
Great lamps with an expensive look. Be aware that the color is actually a green stone and not the gold/cream as advertised.
I am giving this lamp a 3-star rating due to the color. The picture seems to show a brown/tan base. I read in some of the reviews that it had a green tinge. When I opened my lamps, it is more than a tinge! They are green! And not a green that matches anything I have. I'm not sending them back because I hate sending things back. They are nice quality but I'm going to have to think about what to do with them because of their color. It's a shame because they would have been absolutely perfect if they were tan/brown or only had a slight greenish tinge.
Very excited when my lamps arrived. They were very easy to assemble and I couldn't wait to put them on my night tables. They were slightly more bluish than in picture but for my decor they are perfect. Happy I found them. They were comparable to one i had seen that was far more expensive.
Bought a pair of these lamps for a man's den. The color was perfect, the stone with olive green and gold tones looked great in his room. Very heavy and the shades in a light tan color was complimentary to the bases.
First the slate used was not very nice looking, the seems where it was joined were bad, you can see saw marks on one end because the way it was put together. The metal on the base looks cheep and did not fit the stone well so the gaps were filled to match the same color of the metal but it looks bad. The shade is so ugly and cheep looking. Would not recommend
Have been looking for a lamp to go with mission bedroom. This lamp fits in well. Very unique.
Could not be happier- lamp tile is beautiful. Delivery was superfast. Well worth the $ investment.

TORONTO ——Orioles designated hitter Vladimir Guerrero picked up his 2,500th career hit with an RBI double Thursday afternoon against the Toronto Blue Jays.
His 2,501st may come as a pinch-hitter.

But Guerrero won't be starting Friday against the Washington Nationals and it's likely he won't start most, if any, of those games in the outfield against the Nationals and Pittsburgh Pirates.
Guerrero has started 63 of the Orioles' 66 contests this year, hitting .288 with six homers and 27 RBIs. All of those games have come as a DH. He has started 18 games in the outfield since the beginning of 2009, with 16 of those coming last year.
While playing in the field in 2010, Guerrero batted .234 with four homers in 64 at-bats. As a DH, he hit .306 with 25 homers in 523 at-bats. He also saw a serious drop in power between his first and second halves of 2010.
So Showalter, in an attempt to keep the 36-year-old healthy and prospering, may decide to exclusively bring him off the bench in the next six games.
"It's up to Buck, whatever he wants," Guerrero said through an interpreter. "I am willing to play the outfield. Whatever they need me to do, I'll do."
Guerrero shags fly balls during most pre-game batting practices and said he'd like to play in left in interleague games — Adam Jones and Nick Markakis are set in center and right, respectively — if given the opportunity. But he'll do whatever is asked.
"Last year was the same thing. I played a couple games in the outfield last year and I am always, during batting practice, [in] the outfield getting fly balls, so I feel pretty comfortable there," he said. "I'll be prepared to pinch-hit. I've done it in the past, the pinch-hitting role. I am prepared for it if that's what [Showalter] wants."
As for his 2,500th hit, Guerrero said he didn't know he was closing in on the number until a young female fan told him on Wednesday.
"That's 15 years in the big leagues and that means [I've] had a lot of hits and [that] feels good," he said.
He said the magical 3,000 milestone could be reachable, "If God keeps [me] healthy, you never know."
Said Showalter: "I have been able to step back and take in how lucky we are and fortunate we are to be there for something like that. This guy is going into the Hall of Fame. I am glad I got to be there for it and be part of it. Don't rule out 3,000 with him."
Jakubauskas on Adair
When pitching coach Mark Connor stepped down Monday and turned the job over to bullpen coach Rick Adair, there was perhaps no one in the Orioles clubhouse who was better prepared for the change than right-hander Chris Jakubauskas.
Jakubauskas spent part of this year in the bullpen, so he dealt with Adair in that capacity. But he's known Adair since 2009, when Jakubauskas debuted with the Seattle Mariners and Adair was the pitching coach.
"He was big for me, obviously, because '09, that was my rookie year," Jakubauskas said. "He was my first big league pitching coach."
Jakubauskas said Adair's approach then was similar to what it is now: he'll tinker with specific mechanics, but he lets pitchers be themselves.

Servings: 10
Prep Time: 25 min
Cook Time: 2 hours
Difficulty: Easy
2 cups canned diced tomatoes
2 cups tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup diced onions
1/2 cup diced green bell peppers
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons The Lady's House Seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt (recommended: The Lady's Seasoned Salt)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
3 small bay leaves
1/2 pound ground chicken
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 pound ground turkey
1 pound spaghetti
1 cup grated Cheddar, divided
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese, divided
House Seasoning (to make your own at home):
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a stockpot, combine the tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, onions, peppers, garlic, parsley, seasoning mixtures, sugar, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 1 hour.
Crumble the ground meats in a saucepan. Cook until no pink remains, and then drain off the fat. Add the ground meats to the stockpot. Simmer for another 20 minutes. While the sauce simmers, cook the pasta according to the package directions.
Cover the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch pan with about one-third of the sauce. Add a layer of half the pasta, and then half the cheeses. Repeat the layer, ending with sauce. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Top with the remaining cheese. Return to the oven and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Cut into squares before serving.
House Seasoning:
Mix the ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Great dishes!
By Mary Hallen on February 15, 2013
This is very good! I added about 3 ozs. of pepperoni, quartered, to the sauce layers for some extra flavor. I put the chopped pepperoni on a plate with paper towels, microwaved it for 20 seconds to absorb the grease before adding to the sauce layers. I also used an Italian blend of cheese in the casserole, but topped the casserole with cheddar, and a sprinkle of garlic salt and parsley on top. I like to also put the oven on broil the last few minutes to melt the cheese, it browns the cheese a little and gives it an extra good flavor. My family all asked for the recipe!
By Kay on February 15, 2013
I've been making this for several years and it is delicious. I used to make my own spaghetti sauce and serve it over spaghetti, but since trying this recipe, I haven't made the other in a long time. I've served it at get-togethers and gotten rave reviews.

Paula, We have visited Lady @ Sons on our visit to Savannah and I have shopped in your store several times. We have been to Uncle Bubba's twice for lunch and I totally missed this spaghetti dish. I thought Dora was just darling on your show and you both seemed to work and enjoy each so much.I can't wait to fix the baked spaghetti for my family. Thanks, Paula for all the love to your viewer's kitchens from your kitchen.
By Marsha G. Fyock on September 14, 2011
We just love this dish! The house smelled so good the last time I made it that my sons friends (half the high school football team) all stayed for dinner. Its was a big hit, they ate every bit! I would like to take it to our family reunion. Can I make it ahead and freeze it? Thanks so much, WF
By Wendy Frantz on June 23, 2011
Although this baked spaghetti takes a lot of time, it is well worth it! I have made it for company and for family reunions and everyone loves it! Paula and Dora hit a home run with this one!!

as MOIRA QUEEN
Susanna Thompson stars as Moira Queen, the matriarch of the Queen family who presents the perfect public face of a loving wife and mother, but behind the mask, she is truly a mystery to her family and everyone around her.
From her first leading role on "Once & Again" to her recent role on the evocative "Kings," Thompson brings authenticity and integrity to her outstanding body of work. Performing with some of the film industry's biggest stars, Thompson's featured roles include the supernatural feature "Dragonfly," with Kevin Costner, Rob Reiner's "Ghosts of Mississippi," with Alec Baldwin, and Sydney Pollock's "Random Hearts," with Harrison Ford. Recent features include the independents "American Pastime" and "The Ballad of Jack & Rose," with Daniel Day-Lewis.
Thompson credits "Once and Again" producers Edward Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz for introducing her to high television standards. Repeatedly a critic's favorite, she excelled as a leading lady in "Kings," opposite Ian McShane; in "Book of Daniel," opposite Aidan Quinn; and on "Once and Again" and alongside Tom Skerritt in the TBS remake of "High Noon".
Thompson's career is punctuated, as well, with strong standout television performances in recurring roles on "NCIS," "Cold Case" and "Without a Trace." She has also created memorable guest appearances on series such as "CSI," "Law and Order" and "NYPD Blue," and has built a large sci-fi fan base from "Star Trek's Next Generation" and "Deep Space Nine," as well as "Star Trek Voyager," in which she played the Borg Queen.
Inspired by her mother's love of movies and encouraged by teachers to participate in high school and community theatre, she won a drama scholarship and earned a degree at San Diego State University, where she enjoyed the unique honor of working with Tony award-winning playwright, Tom Stoppard, as well as long-time mentor, Mack Owen.
After graduation, Thompson helped facilitate the founding of the San Diego Actors Alliance. She shined in regional theater productions of "Hay Fever," "The Real Thing" and "Three Sisters" and began to garner honors for her performances: a Best Actress nomination by the San Diego Critics Circle for the title role in "Agnes of God" and an L.A. Drama Logue award for her lead as Raisa in "A Shayna Maidel." Continuing her love of live theatre and storytelling, she has more recently performed several times for Symphony Space's "Selected Shorts" on National Public Radio.
A firm believer that the personal can impact the global, Thompson is deeply committed to causes that support women and children, that protect the planet (including food and water sources) and those that encourage spiritual growth. She helped co-found "Peace Flags by Kids" and served for five years as a board member for the Hoffman Institute, a personal enrichment process that she continues to admire and support.

Collecting Quilts: Quilts Tell a Story
Week 1
Jodie and Mark open the show in Litchfield, Connecticut at the West Street Grill to celebrate their June birthdays. Mark's rubber duckie gift to Jodie sports an "over the hill" sign.

Sue shows a quilt presented to her by the Home of the Brave program. Quilters unselfishly make these quilts using three Civil War era patterns based on quilts made for the Sanitary Commission during that struggle. Her quilt was made by women she knew and each block was signed. The Quilts of Valor program makes quilts for those who have served.

The SmartGridCity project also included automating three of four distribution substations, four computer-monitored power feeders, and another 23 feeders that are watched for voltage irregularities. Approximately 200 miles of fiber optic cable, 4,600 residential and it's great! drug generic levitra small business transformers and nearly 16,000 smart meters are now connected to the smart grid system.The smart grid allows the utility to cheapest prices for viagra online better monitor and regulate the link for you buy generic viagra online electrical grid. Using real-time monitoring and data feedback, the utility can more rapidly adjust for equipment failures, power outages, and other electrical problems. Individual consumers whose service is connected through a smart meter will also be able to access their own information and can "design and personalize energy consumption strategies" for themselves. Already this year, since some of the components were installed, four potential transformer failures have been detected, and outages have been able to be prevented by proactively replacing those units before they failed.

As a resident in Boulder all I can say is that this hasn't actually taken place. No one I know has anything to do with this. I think the goal is generic propecia online within canada to try to only best offers lowest price for cialis get 15,000kwh/month customers down to 14,000kwh/month. Our family and many others are at 100kwh/month already. Don't need any stinking smart grid when you are down that low.

Although we didn't experience many problems at Haley Park, the problems we did run into weren't handled as we Read Morewould have liked them to. We had noise issues with our neighbors and when we couldn't work things out with them, we went to the manager and all that amounted from that was a few emails from her restating the noise violation part of the lease. The noise never stopped and nothing came of our complaints. That being said, the maintenance guy was fantastic. He always came promptly when needed

In the workplace, ideas can be tested right away. For example - and I think this is true just about everywhere - it is thought that doing things in batches allows you to do them more quickly. The idea is that it is extremely inefficient to have someone handle one item at a time. People are convinced that efficiency and productivity improve when they repeat the same thing over and over.
I once observed the way a woman performed an inspection task. She took a number of items, lined them up, and then inspected them. She would not listen, no matter how often I pointed out that it would be easier and more efficient to take each item as it came off the line, inspect it, and then pack it in a box.
"Look," I said, "your method is fine. But, just once, why not do them one by one, the way I'm suggesting? I know it's a little tedious, but I think you'll be able to inspect more pieces with my method."
I had her try out the new idea for a day - a day in which she normally would not be able to inspect 5,000 pieces without running into overtime. By doing one piece every 20 seconds, she was able to do 5,000 pieces during regular hours. Even so, she could hardly believe such a relaxed method could result in such efficiency.
I suppose it is natural to succumb to the illusion that more is done if you busily gather pieces into lots, take 20 or 30 in one hand, and line them up in neat rows. But what happens if, as described, you inspect the items one by one? It is more like play than work. And if you play around with it and find that you finish during regular work hours, it means no overtime and less pay. So, while the idea seemed fine to me, it turned out to be a loss for the worker.
Inspecting the items one by one, however, made the task more relaxed and less tiring. What is more, the worker could accomplish the same quantity of piecework as before without going into overtime. After trying the new method, she was won over. This involved a relatively simple approach. Yet, surprisingly, simple approaches like this are often not put into practice in the workplace.
Let me tell you an old story from the postwar years, a story that takes place at Toyota Jiko. The job was to drill holes into round rods that is all we wanted to do. Now, it happened that this operation was expected to turn out 80 rods a day. A young worker fed the rods manually into the machine where the holes would be drilled. But why feed them by hand? Why not leave out the manual part of the operation so the worker could relax while the holes were being drilled?
Well, somehow, feeding the rods by hand seemed faster. If we fed them in automatically, the bits would break off lose their edge, and produce defective holes. The objection to automatic feeding was that you could tell how well the bit was cutting when you fed the rods by hand. Therefore, manual feeding was faster.
So I asked the worker, "How long does it take to drill each hole?"
"About 30 seconds," he replied.
"Thirty seconds?" I said. "That means you could drill two per minute, doesn't it?"
The worker nodded.
"In an hour, then, you could drill 120 rods," I continued. But this time the worker did not respond. Why?
"I'm drilling these rods by hand," he had said, "and because I work like the dickens I can do 80 a day."
Now, however, the suggestion was that, with 60 minutes in an hour, he could drill 120 rods an hour. He stopped answering me because it was awkward being told that he could drill 120 rods per hour, when he had boasted about being able to drill 80 rods in 7 hours. Why would he need 7 hours to do 80 rods when he ought to be able to do that many in 40 minutes? That would mean that he was only doing 40 minutes of work a day!
"Look here," he said. "I'm working my tail off. What are you complaining about?"
"It doesn't matter how hard you're working or how much sweat you're putting into the job." I said, "You're still only drilling 80 holes in 7 hours. Maybe we should just have you come to work for an hour every day."
Don't be ridiculous!" he replied.
Let's think about this. If somebody is drilling by hand as fast as he can, he will have the impression that he is working quickly. Automatic feeding would take 40 seconds, but he can do it by hand in about 30 seconds. So he concludes that it is more efficient by hand. If he continues at that pace, however, the drill bit will overheat, lose its edge, and not cut as well. He must then take the bit to a grinder and re-hone the edge. He brings it back and drills about three more holes. Then the bit overheats and goes bad on him again. After two or three more holes he must re-grind the bit again, an operation he considers part of the job. He thinks that by really working at it, he can drill a hole in 30 seconds. But he is deluded when he assumes that continuing at the same pace will improve efficiency.
If he had to drill 80 holes per day with automatic feed, however, he would only have to process one rod every 5 or 10 minutes. Ideally, an appropriate cutting speed would allow him to drill a hole in 40 seconds, leaving 4 minutes and 20 seconds for the bit to cool down. The unit would again be at room temperature when it came time to drill the second hole. Whenever the bit gets a little too hot, you can either put it aside for 4 minutes or apply cutting Oil to cool it down to the temperature of the oil. This permits a bit that used to be sharpened between every hole to hold its edge for 30 or 50 rods.
What's more, workers do not have their own whetstones. There is one whetstone with five or six people lined up to use it, each going through pretty much the same procedure. Lathe bits, for example, may also be used to the utmost which means that they, too, will lose their edge quickly - so workers who have to grind lathe bits will be lined up at the whetstone as well. So, even if in theory it only takes 30 seconds to do the grinding, with five or six other people in line, it ends up taking about 10 minutes to grind the bit and get back to the machine. When we consider that occasionally the new edge will not be good enough, forcing us to return and regrind the bit, we might end up processing only two rods in 10 minutes.
On the other hand, we might work through a number of rods one after another. If we find that the table of the old-style drill press is too small, we might take 10 or 15 unprocessed rods and line them up on the drill press stand. On the other side, we might have 10 or 20 rods already processed that we can place in a wire basket.
The worker doing all this is imagining he is working. So, while he can only process three or four rods every 10 minutes, the worker himself concentrates on the 30 seconds it takes to actually drill the hole and compares this to the 40 seconds it takes if a rod is fed in. The truth is that, if we only need one rod every 5 minutes, we can cool the bits for 4 minutes between each rod and get away with only taking the bits to be reground once a day. You can also take the bits to be ground three at a time. So in the end, while employees may be working up a sweat and thinking that they are working skillfully and efficiently, the shop is, in fact, operating inefficiently.

Just an 8-bit bird
Living in a lonely world
He took his tiny wings going anywhere
Just a sh*tty bird
Flapping round in Mario World
She took her tiny wings going anywhere…
A coder in a quiet room
Released a game free through iTunes
It became so popular overnight
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers, flying
In between the Mario pipes
And shadows not rendering in the light
Rhythm, people
Throwing phones in sound frustration
Medals, high scores through the night…
Working hard to get my fill
Every high score is a thrill
Payin' nothing just to flap the wings
Just one more time
Some will win, most just lose
Pull out the app when it makes the news
But the tapping never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers, flying
In between the Mario pipes
And shadows not rendering in the light
Rhythm, people
Throwing phones in sound frustration
Medals, high scores through the night…
Don't stop the flapping
Hold on to the tapping
Oh pixels, creatures
Don't stop the flapping
Hold on
Oh pixels, creatures
Don't stop the flapping
Hold on to the tapping

According to the NSCB, one of every three families in Eastern Visayas are poor. There's a 43.3% poverty incidence in Southern Leyte in 2009. Just where exactly did this disaster take place again? Yup.
The provinces and communities that experienced Yolanda's wrath the most are also those that are frequently at the mercy of typhoons and natural disasters. With that also came decades - generations - of underdevelopment. It should also be pointed out that those who suffered the most - and lost the most - are those who do not have access to the things that can aid in both development and disaster.
Things like ports and depots and runways. Well-built roads and fast, convenient access to other communities.
The havoc caused by Yolanda is immeasurable, perhaps even incomprehensible. It's hard to wrap your head around it. It's also hard to wrap your head around the scale of poverty and underdevelopment in these vulnerable areas, and the sense of loss and misery among our most vulnerable people.
Watching the story unfold, it's easy to see why the criticisms of "lack of preparedness" echo from all fronts. Preparation does not come from mere evacuation procedures, but sustainable development where roads, hospitals, schools, markets, and government facilities, etc. are accessible to all. Preparedness by development, and vice versa.
You cannot prepare for evacuation without strong roads that can withstand the worst weather conditions, much less the weight of the very trucks that build it. You cannot assure ample healthcare - disaster or no disaster - when the health budget is at less than P10 per person. You cannot educate people on disaster preparedness when kids have to traverse dirt roads to go to into a cramped school room, and the underpaid teacher doesn't even have chalk. You cannot build depots or stock up on supplies, without a market stocked and supplied with goods that people can afford.
You cannot have a functional government on the ground when it is susceptible not only to disaster, but to greed.
When your community is underdeveloped - when your people lack access to things like good roads, hospitals, and connections with other communities, and when poverty is forced upon you by everything from graft to dependency and everything else in between - you become vulnerable and susceptible to the worst things a disaster can bring. We've seen it happen.
The aid will be brought in. Life will go on. But as these communities are rebuilt from the waste and debris, we all have to keep a watchful eye open toward this rebuilding.
Let it not be said that the poorest and most vulnerable among us lived on the crumbs that fell from the table of the wealthy and the powerful.
The immediate justice of aid and relief is absolutely necessary. The sustained justice of equitable development that uplifts the lives of the poor and vulnerable is essential.
On the Job is too preoccupied with Pinoy action film techniques. It doesn't even work as a police report from CCTV. While recent cinema is entitled to "critiques" of what it considers as the "establishment," this is a badly-written commentary.
The film is the story of Mario Maghari (Joel Torre) in his last days as an assassin. However, he comes across as somewhat a heroic character, eliminating the enemies of a military general whose grand ambitions end at the Philippine Senate. Yet he has been granted his date of release. Two documents bear the meaning of freedom: first, the photograph of the target that orders an occasional foray to the "outside." Second, the parole that sends Mario back to his wife and daughter, and to be finally free from the life he has somewhat identified with.
Without a doubt, there is thrill in what Mario believes in: his deliverance. There's the date of release, but it becomes a drama particularly for those considered the scum of the earth. And then, there's the coming of age of the apprentice, Daniel (Gerald Anderson). The film could have just concentrated on Mario training Daniel into becoming a death machine. Or on the sequences that drive Mario to meet his "end" at his parole. But then there's the "good guy" story to this anti-hero film, dramatized by Atty. Francis Coronel, Jr. (Piolo Pascual). Then the thrill becomes cheap, a lot like the action films of days gone by. Coronel's becomes the redeemer, only fulfilled after seeing the light of the things that go on around him, his skills forcing him to self-destruct.
Pascual, I think, ruined this movie. He tries too hard to fulfill his role, resorting to his muscles, his clothes, his hairstyles, his gadgets, his stances, and everything else forced into him by the studio for him to play the role of the suave hero. The gifts of Jay Halili as editor, Erwin Romulo as musical scorer, and Ricardo Buhay III are wasted here. Their skills somehow hide Michiko Yamamoto's bad writing, Erik Matti's bad direction, and Piolo's bad acting.
As far as technique is concerned, On the Job proves that cinema has come a long way. But technique can only do so much. Too many times, the "hyper-realistic" take of this movie is just smoke and mirrors; Ishmael Bernal turns over in his grave.
The supporting actors should also take the blame. Leo Martinez's comedic timing was off in this film. Michael de Mesa doesn't work well as a Senator; he just lacks the "politician" character. Shaina Magdayao's exposures are a lot like Vina Morales's bad attempts to create good acting in obscure films by Viva. Angel Aquino's banshee-like shrieking was terrible. Gerald Anderson still reveals a stereotypical Filipino-American conyo personality that's out of place in this "realistic" film. Joey Marquez doesn't make for a good "impartial" policeman, but he makes a very good "dumb" policeman impression. And Vivian Velez's acting is shallow; she relies on her tone of voice and wardrobe too much.
Lito Pimentel's portrayal of fear is good, and acts as a good counterpoint to Joel Torre's performance. The story he tells is simple: freedom can never be taken back once he commits to violence. And all hope is eaten away from him.
I do not understand why this film was selected at the Director's Fortnight in Cannes. Can sheer technical skill give meaning to crime and punishment: something that's so suppressed in the Philippines? It's a nice, slick-looking movie, but only because there are too many jumps and inconsistencies in the story.

Hello thanks for reading!
I've done Cambridge and slim&save before with success but the binger in me got the better of me lately and I an carrying more than I am comfortable with again!
I did the London marathon last Sunday and you'd think i would have lost weight training - but I managed to gain a lot instead!!!
I have a holiday at the end of May so I've just stocked up on exante products to shift the excess weight!!
I am planning to exercise quite a bit too so I will probably have an extra pack, bit of low carb veg or an extra protein shake here or there if it's needed. I know alcohol is a no no but I've barely drank all year, so I probably will have a vodka and soda or diet coke on a few occasions if I'm out.
I've also got a half marathon in May to keep me focused.
I am not going to weigh myself because it will only serve to depress me - and I'm looking for fat loss not mass loss. I think I am around 10stone7 which is more than id like to be - I'm only 5'2! I just want to fit into all of my usual clothes again - at the moment it's only elasticated ones that I'm wearing, so as to not know my size!! But my size 10 clothes are probably not going to fit me so I will save trying them on for a good few weeks.
I have another diary in silver members but I felt I should make a new one for this new challenge with the new products!
I refuse to go on holiday at this size and I will get to a size I'm happier with. Not sure it's long enough to get bikini ready but I sure hope so - I have exactly 42days eeeeek!!!!
**as I messed up during first week I restarted and renamed the diary "34 days....." As this is now how long I have!!!

Nicole Works Out and Brightens Up
by POPSUGAR Celebrity 52 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Nicole and her bump continued to make their way around Manhattan yesterday for some lunch and a trip to the gym. Looks like she's keeping her promise to stay healthy for her baby by eating more and getting in shape. She also sure knows how to stay stylish while pregnant. What a cute dress! We bet she followed up her day with a concert at Madison Square Garden since Joel's band, Good Charlotte opened for JT's concert last night.

Working out while pregnant isn't just cosmetic and about weight loss. When I was pregnant my obstetrician encouraged me to keep exercising while pregnant. It wasn't because I needed to lose weight (the opposite in fact) but because it helps to keep you healthy and your circulation going and it also makes labout easier on your body if you are fit. It also helps you to recover from labour quicker. Good for her for choosing a healthy life style. I am really pleased for her :-) She should be supported by people all the way, as it can be a really emotional time and you just don't need negative things around you.

I know that I will likely get slammed for this comment, but I'm saying it anyway: for most pregnant women, working out would be considered healthy (in moderation). But, formerly 85 lb. Nicole Richie needs to worry about other thing besides keeping her weight down. She needs to worry about food and proper nutrition and relaxation, NOT stressing about gaining weight with the baby. If she continues to work out, there is no doubt in my mind that she's not ready for motherhood because she is simply to selfish to do the right thing and gain all the weight she (and the baby) needs. BUT, I will be nice and admit she looks good with that extra 10 punds on her :)

It is fine to work out while pregnant as long as you keep it low key. And Roor is right;she will probably stay thin her whole pregnancy other than her stomach. I myself was the same way as well as many other young people I know. It's called eating well and taking care of yourself unlike gaining 60 pounds during pregnancy which is not ideal.

Epuni, even if she does gain weight I think she's going to end up looking like Bridget Moynahan - still relatively skinny with a big ol' tummy! It's actually weird for me, how big these stars get when it's their first babies - most women i know don't get too huge first time around. A colleague of mine just had a baby and after 6 weeks had already gone back to the way she llooked before - no extreme dieting , it's just that there was not a lot of weight to lose!

Being as thin as she was before the pregnancy...gaining 20 pounds would only make her normal (besides the baby bump). She'll probably gain another 20 pounds within the next 4 months and that's when we'll see the real weight gained. Either way I think she looks great.

I've never seen anyone that thin who's pregnant. Usually, you gain at least a bit of weight. Most of the time quite a bit.

Rated 3 out of 5�by Rymom Ehhhh These socks are much shorter than I thought they'd be and they fit funny. It looks like the heel part of the sock is on top no matter which way you put it on. Won't buy them again. September 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by jmann good value for your buck I purchased these socks for my daughter and she absolutely loves them. Comfort,durability plus the wash up great. September 9, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by Baller To small The socks are fine, they are thinner than most which is nice. The biggest problem is that Dick's doesn't carry XL. They are for athletes who tend to be big. I'm sure my toes will be busting out of the end by the end of the season. September 9, 2014
