- " The hostel was a great experience, the pod concept with the blue lighting provided enough personal space, the front desk was always willing to help with a smile, the facilities was continually being cleaned throughout the day. I found it to be a refuge at the end of a day of sightseeing. Thank you "
- 27 February 2013 osvald USA
- " A terrific, clean hostel in Chinatown. The staff bent over backward to help me out with directions, meal suggestions and when I lost my cell/hand phone in the back of a taxi. The facilities were bright and clean, and the beds and bedding quite comfortable. They also had the only clothes dryer I could find in S'pore! The only downside, the all female dorm windows are directly under the washroom, kitchen and laundry so you will hear every time someone uses water. Would absolutely return!!! "

- 21 August 2012 Michael
- " Very friendly staff. It's dorm room, but you can keep your privacy. "
- 11 August 2012 JOOYEON
- " Best points were the friendly and helpful staff, the location so close to the MRT and within walking distance of Chinatown, and the extra privacy and security offered by the pods, with individual lockers, keycard entry etc. Also nice having free wifi, free laptop use, 24 hr desk for late check ins. "

Lancaster, OH Outdoor Activities
Recommended Outdoor Activities by Groupon Customers
The staff at Equestrian Ridge Farm has been tending to steeds and riders on its 200-acre estate for more than 10 years. During riding lessons in a medley of styles—including dressage, single driving, and trail riding—trainers educate equestrians of all levels at the facility's two large, indoor arenas. The barn houses between 15–20 horses at any given time, a handful of which are reserved for lessons or reenactments of chase scenes from The Lone Ranger. Equestrian Ridge also offers under-saddle training for horses by an experienced instructor who tailors each session to the steed's temperament and riding style.
Under the choppy surface of Ohio's quarries and waterways, the Columbus Scuba team guides students into the world of underwater exploration with specialized training courses. In order to prepare students for diving situations and encounters with bullies in schools of minnows, the team also holds classroom sessions, including PADI open-water certification. In addition to training students, Columbus Scuba dedicates itself to the diving community by operating the Mid-Ohio Divers club, through which they organize barbecues, camping trips, and group dives in far-off reefs and caves.
Floodlights replace the sun during nightfall at Four Seasons Golf and Ski Center, keeping the miniature golf courses and batting cages aglow for nighttime visitors. During the summer, guests can wind through miniature fairways that incorporate small-scale replicas of The Statue of Liberty, Niagara Falls, and the world's smallest caddies. During the winter, Four Seasons' slopes welcome copious amounts of snow to facilitate skiing, snowboarding, and snowtubing. The newly renovated facility also hosts a game room and specialty ice cream shop.
When the morning fog clears, a bridge fashioned out of five rustic corncribs appears to pay homage to EagleSticks Golf Club's roots. Originally used to feed the horses that grazed on the erstwhile farm, the wood from the corncribs now arches over a creek that splits the fairway on the 11th hole—a 591-yard par 5 dubbed the course's signature attraction for its bending fairway, elevated tee box, and visible ties to a bucolic past. Designed by renowned Ohio architect Dr. Michael Hurdzan, the 6,508-yard course challenges golfers with constant elevation changes—some of which exceed 100 feet—that demand accuracy, sound course management, and the ability to activate the cart's hang-gliding wings. Throughout the round, bentgrass fairways and greens present a much more hospitable landing place than the course's thick, bluegrass rough. At various hillcrests and elevated tees, players can take in a full view of the course's scenery, which includes several waterfalls and woodlands populated by oak, maple, ash, locust, and cherry trees ripe for the hugging.
After a day on the links, golfers can gather at Mac's Sports Bar to quiet rumbling bellies with a menu of classic American food such as burgers, sandwiches, and pizza. Guests can unwind in Mac's dining room—which features eight televisions, an open-beam ceiling, and other contemporary touches—or at the adjoining patio, which attracts summertime breezes and ghostly golf balls trying to reconnect with their long-lost owner.

Day quite stormy. Snow falling. Received a letter from my Mother
announcing the engagement of John and Mary Hellen. This is in agreement with her last words to me and I feel rather pleased that it should thus come to an end. Of it's probable effect upon the family I cannot yet make up my mind but in relation to George it certainly is unfortunate. There is much room for reflection in these matters. We are now taking leave of the unity of interest which binds a family together, to gain or lose by the exchange. I am much afraid she will not throw the balance on the side of the former. The day was occupied in study and conversation. Evening at home.

Morning rather wasted. Received a letter from John
explaining the troubles in the family, rather a sad picture but one which will not probably change much for the better, at least at present. Talked a good deal with George and found him sophistical as ever. This will be his ruin. Thomas J. Hellen came in and sat some time. He had re-entered from his suspension, leaves College and returns to Washington tomorrow. In the afternoon Richardson called and sat at the Office some time so that I read but little of the law during the day. In the evening I wrote an answer to John
instead of going to the Theatre.

I occupied myself before breakfast in writing a letter to my Mother.
On going to the Office, received the news of the result in the late New York election
which tends to convince me that the term of my Father's Presidency is drawing to it's close. A circumstance which is deeply to be regretted but to be met with fortitude. The morning was occupied pretty much in conversation upon the subject and my spirits were certainly none of the best. The day was rather wasted, not much having been done besides a small portion of Selwyn and Cruise. In the afternoon I went to Medford with Mr. Brooks, the weather was severely cold for this Season of the year, and my ride was a very sharp one. Abby was well and in great spirits at seeing me.

Changes to U.S. Patent System through the New America Invents Act
Explained by U-M Associate General Counsel Rick Brandon
The America Invents Act. . .
An important change to the U.S. patent system took effect on March 16, as part of a larger overhaul to align it better with systems used in other countries and make it more predictable.
Prior to the change in the law, inventors were motivated to file patent applications early and before inventors made public disclosures. The new law maintains this motivation and should not mean huge changes for inventors on campus.
"The change in the law should be quite good for the patent system - and probably the technology-based sectors of our economy - because the new law adds a great deal of predictability to the system, and businesses and their investors seek predictability," U-M Associate General Counsel Rick Brandon said.

Changes Coming For IceHogs/AHL 6/29/12
By: Scott Leber
Updated: June 29, 2012
Video replay will be used in instances of questionable goals.
Also the league added a 'Handling the Puck' rule. It now calls for a minor penalty any time a player places his hand over the puck while it is on the ice in order to conceal it from or prevent an opponent from playing the puck.
The IceHogs division will also have a different look next season. The Charlotte Checkers have been moved from the Midwest Division to the South Division. And the Grand Rapids Griffins will join the IceHogs, Wolves, Admirals and Rivermen in the Midwest Division.
The IceHogs home opener is set for Saturday, October 20th. The opponent has yet to be announced. The IceHogs entire schedule will be announced later this summer.

About jameshogg
Copyright crushes the incomes of derivative artists, and therefore their freedom of speech.
So nope.
"But the only great principle they're defending is that they're too cheap and lazy to do their own work."
The principle is that derivative artists have rights to their fruits of labour.
Telling different versions of Star Wars, or The Lord of the Rings, or The Lion King IS "doing your own work". And copyright deprives artists of the right to do that.
What do you think websites like deviantArt and fanfiction.net have been doing for so long? Unless you want to really be consistent and say that these websites should be shut down, you're going to have to step back and see how copyright is AGAINST the principles of John Locke, not for them.
Crowdfunding, whether its through the many tried and tested examples of collecting tickets for gigs, or through Kickstarter, or pre-ordered copies of DVDs, is superior to copyright in every way because both original and derivative artists have their fruits of labour protected. It makes copyright discreditable from every angle.
You are not entitled to say how you are best defending the "rights of artists". So many markets have been wiped out as a result of the communist-tendencies of copyright and the life, liberty and property has been sucked out of derivative artists for too long. Crowdfunding gives us no excuse for it.
There. And I didn't have to mention how you've exculpated the accountability of corporations for what they do through using pirates as scapegoats. "Since the pirates are running riot, why should be do anything about privacy invasions?" I think there are even many principled copyright maximalists who could call you out for this nonsense. It is a matter of principle. The Patriot Act is to be opposed unequivocally, and I say this as somebody who supports the fight against Islamic fascism. It's the same thing.
"Copyright won the cold war."
What he means is "pirated copies of 1984 and Animal Farm circulating under the Soviet Union's radar" helped to win the cold war. The Soviets would have used any excuse to stop material like that from spreading. And that would have included copyright.
Always remember, every time a government censors an opinion they are in effect making an "intellectual property" claim on that opinion. You cannot say that because that idea belongs to us and noone else. Only we get to decide if that should be said. You must first ask us for permission. It is the same idea.
The Chinese population are highly lacking in internet, and when they DO have internet it is under high surveillance and restrictions. ITunes is heavily blocked. Indeed, it is hard to access any site from outside China while within China because it is so bad. So yeah, think SOPA but a hundred times worse. And what is the world piracy rate of the country? 80% That is what happens WITHOUT BitTorrent. The copyright advocates are deluding themselves when they say copyright needs "more protection". It's a blatant utopian delusion.
Nowadays, we can only pass around pirated copies of Animal Farm within Iran. Even Christopher Hitchens played a part in distributing the pirated copies when he visited the country in secret. He said of the Iranian mullahs (paraphrasing) "I love how they keep trying to show footage of themselves smashing the satellite dishes in order to prove a point. They aren't fooling anyone. It'll never work. Most Iranians know how to make international phone calls. Many server work-arounds are made to counter every move these thugs make. The more attempts at oppression, the more humourous it gets. We're going to see great things from Iran."
But of course, all of this has to be stopped in the name of a utopian idea that claims to stop theft when it cannot even do anything about pre-owned sales. Insufferable. Plain, insufferable.
No, ladies and gentlemen, copyright is not "anti-communism" it is PRO communism. You have to get this bit right. Especially when free speech is crushed, governments subsidise the destruction of markets, artists end up being locked out from their own works by parties that took no part in the creative process, technological innovation is repressed bitterly, and the fruits of labour of derivative artists are flat out disposable. Sounds like communism to me.
Don't buy into this mentality for a second.
"You haven't shown that there is no such evidence."
You haven't heard of Russell's Teapot, have you?
Ahh, yes. Even as a raging Leftie, I cannot help but praise the free market philosophy here. Crowdfunding is for both indie artists AND mainstream artists.
In fact, on this issue, it is one of those very rare occasions where I WANT the counter-culture to become the over-the-counter-culture. Because the sooner crowdfunding becomes the mainstream way of financing artists, the better. It will be fun to see copyright believers attempt to dismiss it. A way of funding artists' fruits of labour that DOESN'T depend on copyright, and does not come with any liberty compromises? Nooooo? It COULDN'T be? AND derivative artist's fruits of labour are protected to boot? GET OUT!
Yes indeed: the words "capitalism" and "revolution" can be uttered in the same breath.
"[We want to] change social attitudes toward downloading. Many people know it is illegal but they continue to do it... Our collective goal is not to sue everybody� but to change the sense of entitlement that people have, regarding Internet-based theft of property.�
Perhaps it is your social attitude that needs to change, in particular when people feel that it is appropriate to lock people up for doing the same thing as borrowing DVDs from friends.
And perhaps you need to change the sense of unjustified entitlement copyright law has when it comes to claiming authority despite its irrationality.
"Yeah, maybe the corporations WISH they weren't, but they are."
Why shouldn't they? It is theft to take something from the artist without giving anything in return, isn't it?
I borrow DVDs.
It is probably better to say this: "piracy" does not really exist in an economic system where creativity is treated as services, not products. That sounds tautological, but considering how it is a much better way of stopping people from free-riding it is worth talking about.
You may be opening doors with me if you said there are some costs required for the storage of data. For example, Dropbox, MediaFire, MegaUpload, etc all have fees of their own; specifically for the speed of downloads and for the uploading of large files. There has to be money involved somewhere for hosting servers.
That I think is legitimate. But what I cannot see being sensible is trying to use these costs to guard the IP solely. That is quite different from the storage of data. If what you say is true, that paywalls are inevitable for one reason or another, you have still said nothing about how to stop the piracy of the internet.
The punishment for that is less quality work, or even nothing at all. Remember, in order to get the great production effects, action sequences, etc of a movie it costs millions. That is on top of what the artists think they are worth. A pirate will know the consequences of his actions because he may not get the great movie he wanted for free. Artists can hold pirates to account very powerfully like this.
If the pirate pledges, he can rest assured that he won't be ripped off himself (it will get to the point where studios will refund pledges if the movie gets cancelled halfway - studios take the fall in this way already) and he also will not be ripped off by a middleman, legitimate or not, who may profit from someone not acting on the behalf of the artist. Legal retailers, remember, do not necessarily participate in fair capitalism when they sell bulk DVDs at a profit - if you follow IP philosophy closely, this profit could be seen as a form of IP theft.
Lets actually take this much further: I can watch a legal copy of a DVD for free while following all the copyright laws - by borrowing from a friend, reselling through Ebay or watching it at a friend's house - I can free ride without any sense of accountability whatsoever.
Kickstarter, on the other hand, makes even THOSE kinds of unspoken free-riders accountable. Even the people who supposedly "contribute" to the artist by getting the DVDs second hand (they don't) will have to pitch in with the pledges in a much more direct way. That's the beauty of this. Copyright cannot do anything about these kinds of free-riders while crowdfunding can. So there's an additional advantage there.
It's an argument ad capitalism, isn't it? Well... if there is such a phrase.
I'm as much of a Leftist as most people when it comes to taxing the hell out of the 1% even if Kickstarter themselves fall into that category one day (and believe you me, they will), but the free-market is the only sane perspective we can have here. People have a right to spend their money on whatever they like.
The whole thing is probably a secret distaste of Kickstarter in general. People generally don't like change. Or anything anti-copyright.
By the way, you must always remember that corporations can themselves place Kickstarter bids. Even the ones engaged in piracy. All the way from Google to Megaupload: they'll all start placing refundable pledges of their own (remember, nobody has anything to lose). They'll eventually see that this is in their best interests in order to make a profit from advertising. The balance of power swings over to the artists.
Watch as more and more crowdfunding artists will put their work into the public domain after creation. Watch as more and more pirates are held accountable in ways that copyright could never begin to dream about.
With crowdfunding, if a pirate doesn't pay up, he has nothing to pirate. But with copyright, if a pirate doesn't pay up, he can get away with it.
Crowdfunding websites are the intellectual radicals here. They're not even aware of it themselves.
The arguments against Kickstarter have been laughably baseless. Remember how Amanda Palmer was attacked for a) promoting piracy of her works (which even copyright advocates have to say is within her rights to do so) and b)making too much money? I thought, "Well, there you have it. A system which can help people encourage piracy of their own works by essentially putting it in the public domain and still become filthy rich... and the copyright advocates just want to stick their fingers in their ears and yell 'I'm not listening!' Absolutely perfect."
The logical elegance of assurance contracts cannot be overstated here. Tickets, preordered content, crowdfunding, all of it has tons of evidence to back up a way of thinking that completely discredits copyright.
Paywalls do little to stop people from getting what they want without paying, are easy to walk around with the use of proxies, waste everybody's time and effort, and are fundamentally futile and self-ridiculing.
In fact, they are just about as useful as the U.S.'s Mexican border fence.
If this were crowdfunding, it'd be impossible for a label to oppress artists like this. The artists would have them by the balls.
Also, there would be no way for labels to cheat on royalties. The money would be there for all to see, and labels would have to pay their share: no excuses, no exceptions.
Assurance contracts intellectually trump everything here. Tickets, crowdfunding, all verifiable and backed up by evidence. With no human rights compromises.
If you think it is bad now, just imagine how worse it would have been if Saddam Hussein was still in power. Or his two sadistic sons, Uday and Qusay Hussein.
Always remember: Middle Eastern revolutions gained inspiration and ground on the days that Saddam Hussein was tried for war crimes on TV for all to see. The U.S. mass media decided to keep all of that unreported for so long.
Remember how lots of people laughed at the "domino theory" and democracy being spread across the region? Well what do you call the mass toppling of dictators and huge spread of Arab Spring movements? That's what we on the Left call "destabilisation". We don't say it like it's a bad thing.
Getting rid of Saddam, the 1984-esque totalitarian dictator, was a move that was finally on the right side of history.
Maybe if I just SHOUT my words LIKE this, that WILL give THEM MORE rationality and JUSTIFICATION. CAN I be TAKEN MORE seriously NOW that I am screaming SOME OF my SELECTED words at YOU?!
See, look what you've done. My throat now hurts. I was having fun.
Every notice how religious loonies do the same thing on the internet? If they just capitalise "GOD" enough times that will somehow make it true?
The Devil Wears Prenda.
Delusional nonsense.

Rep. Chellie Pingree says she's running for a third term in the U.S. House of Representatives so she can continue what she started.
"We have our work cut out for us," she tells News 8.
The incumbent Democrat from North Haven says she's disappointed by the lack of progress in Washington and understands why voters may feel that she's part of the problem.
Pingree says, "They have every right to be angry at me just like other members of Congress. I'm well aware that the approval ratings of Congress are very low, but I try to tell them those things that I do even in a gridlock Congress... whether it's working on the Farm Bill, representing our defense industry here in the state, attempting to end the war in Afghanistan, or local things."
Earlier this year, Pingree urged cruise ships to buy Maine lobster.
On the national level, Pingree says she's carved out a niche for herself as a member of the Agriculture and Armed Services Committees.
While she touts her work at Bath Iron Works and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Pingree's critics point out that she votes against the legislation that pays for defense spending.
She explains, "The Defense Authorization Bill is an enormous piece of legislation and some of it is the authorization to spend for money and the cost of going to war and I have said to people before I was elected to office you're not going to see me continuing to put money in this war. You make some tough choices as a member of Congress."
Prior to getting involved in politics on the state level, Pingree worked in farming and ran a small design business.
Her marriage to billionaire Donald Sussman is fodder for her opponents to try to portray her as out-of-touch.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. -- A Kroger customer here drove home happy after being declared the winner of a brand new, plum-colored Volkswagen Beetle -- the grand prize in Sunsweet Growers' "Plum Crazy for Prunes" contest.
tailers hailing from 20 market areas participated in the drawing, among them a Kroger unit in Houston; a unit of Winn-Dixie Stores in Charlotte, N.C.; a unit of Sedano's in Miami, and a unit of H.E. Butt Grocery Co. in San Antonio. Kroger is based in Cincinnati; Winn-Dixie, in Jacksonville, Fla., and Sedano's, in Hialeah, Fla.
The Beetle visited each location during a 15-day promotional road trip that allowed customers to view the prize car, atop a semi-truck, and enter the drawing to win it. Customers could also enter a separate drawing for $200 in gift certificates, redeemable at the store where they registered, and samples of the product.
Radio segments were broadcast from supermarkets' parking lots to draw customers to the stores for the promotion. National radio and television spots reinforced the promotional drawing, too.
"It was an opportunity to show off the car and to drive consumers in participating retailers," said Howard Nager, vice president of marketing for Sunsweet.
The program was kicked off with a freestanding insert promotion in newspapers nationwide that reached an estimated 40 million consumers. The insert explained the details of the contest and featured a picture of the VW Beetle, along with a 35-cents-off coupon that doubled as a point-of-purchase ballot.
The promotion's targeted audience was female baby boomers, 35 to 54. According to Nager, the promotion covered market areas in Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami and other large cities.
"Most retailers in those cities participated," he said. "It was more the exception that a retailer did not participate."
In-store promotions included display shippers containing 300 one-ounce trial-size packs of Sunsweet Lemon and Orange Essence Prunes. Attached to the bags were coupons for 35 cents off a regular-size bag. These coupons also acted as entry forms for the VW bug drawing, automatically entering the consumer into the contest at the point of purchase. Entry form pads also were attached to the display.

I dunno ... something just seems weird about it, and its been driving me nuts cause I can't figure out what it is.
What game is that from O.o it looks weird aswell XD maybe its his mouth.Is it fan art?
No idea xD Searching through pages and pages on Google images for a new boxart I'm planning to make. I liked the pose, but then when I saw full size it was a bit weird ... It has some sort of ... flatness to it. I mean, is it actually 3D? I also think something's odd with the mouth.
Maybe it is fan art .. =\
That doesn't look official. His mouth is a bit jaggy.
Its fanart. Made with gradients and stuff
It's just you...
"If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change."
Maybe its the eyes. Replacing the lighter blue part with a black->blue gradient would prolly look better
I think it's from Kirby 64: The Crystal Sharads....if I'm correct O.o
It looks like he has bags around the bottom of his eyes O_o
His cheeks should be pink not black with a low opacity.

Arlington Chamber Honors Marymount University, MTFA Architecture
Chamber held annual meeting Friday at Sheraton Pentagon City.
The Arlington Chamber of Commerce honored Marymount University and MTFA Architecture Principal Michael Foster at its 88th Annual Meeting Friday at the Sheraton Pentagon City. The chamber also looked back on its accomplishments for 2012 and ahead to 2013. NBC Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd, an Arlington resident, was the keynote speaker. Foster — whose firm has been involved in a number of high-profile projects, like The Views at Clarendon and the Clean Technology Center in Courthouse — received the President's Award. The chamber made it through a successful relocation thanks to Foster, officials said. "He cuts through such malarky and gets people to come to an agreement," said incoming chamber Chairman David DeCamp. "He did …

Early Dynastic III period, about 2500-2200 BC
A votive offering
This gypsum statute was deposited in a temple to pray on behalf of the donor. It may have been set up in his lifetime or possibly as a memorial after his death. He wears a fleece skirt often referred to as a kaunakes.
The statue was made at a time when southern Mesopotamia was politically fragmented between city-states, competing for control of farmland, water and trade.
Where objects have not been excavated and their origin is unknown, it is often possible to date them by comparing them with dated examples. The style of votive figurines like this one can be shown to change through time. This one dates to a period known as Early Dynastic III.

Access to Medicines Policy Research Priority Setting
Identification of Priority Policy Research Questions in the area of Access to and Use of Medicines in Low and Middle Income African Francophone countries
To improve the availability and use of evidence on Access to Medicines (ATM) in low- and middle-income countries, the Alliance HPSR is collaborating with institutions in different geographical locations in a comprehensive exercise to identify priority research questions in the field of ATM. This programme of work takes a unique, "health systems" approach, underlining the role of health systems research in understanding, planning, monitoring and evaluating the interaction of health system components to deliver health outcomes efficiently.
The provision of reliable access to affordable, appropriate and high-quality medicines is a key component of a functioning and responsive health system. Access to medicines must be fully integrated with health financing, human resource planning, service delivery, information and governance systems. Access to and appropriate use of medicines is often weak in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), with WHO estimating that the average availability of essential drugs is 35% in public sector facilities and 66% in the private sector.
Despite some progress in some areas – such as price and availability – the outright data on access to and use of medicines is often weak. Even where data are available, there is limited contextual evidence and analysis to assist in interpretation or in the development of policy options to improve access to medicines in different health systems and country settings, especially for LMICs.
The identification of policy research priorities in African francophone countries specifically Cameroon, Chad, Congo and Gabon will be coordinated by researchers at the Université de Yaoundé in Cameroon. The priority setting exercise aims to identify and rank country and regional policy concerns and policy-related research questions in the field of ATM in African francophone LMICs, as perceived by policy-makers, researchers, civil society organizations, patients and communities.
The work will produce ranked lists of policy concerns and policy research questions. Country- and region-specific findings will be consolidated with findings from other regions. This, in turn, will inform the Alliance's future programming, as well as making a sound global contribution to this emerging field.

A reader writes with the following query:
"I manage 15 staff who are scattered about. I email them since it's the easiest way for me to communicate with all of them at the same time. Often my emails are very short and to the point. It's business. Two staff see that as my being harsh and have no problem letting me know that. Example: "Would you please update these primary care providers in the database, including addresses and phone numbers?"Six days later, I sent the following email as follow up to my initial request: "I would like this taken care of by Thursday this week. If you are having trouble getting this done, please let me know."
In return, my employee sent me a lengthy 4 paragraph response on how insulted she was by my follow up email. I would like your opinion."
On the one hand, the employee's response was out of line. What was he or she hoping to achieve? It didn't get the project done and it almost certainly didn't improve your relationship. I'd go as far as to say it's justified for you to reprimand someone for aggressive behavior like that.
But that's me speaking as a boss (or customer) who's sent similar emails to yours. I've also been the recipient — and felt rising anger every time one of my bosses sent an email beginning with, "Please provide the revised presentation..."
Perhaps unexpectedly, it was the "please" that drove me over the edge. And while I didn't fire off a petulant four-paragraph response, I did seethe quietly. And, more importantly, I didn't feel very much like "providing the revised presentation."
Anyone whose ever been part of an online "flame war" has had the experience of a tiny "e-mole" becoming a mountain. (And yes, I am also shocked that I would attempt such a terrible pun.) Studies have shown that readers add (or invent) emotional bias that is often counter to your intent as the sender.
In this case, all of the niceties you thought you were writing ended up sounding very different in the mind of your employee.
In the echo chamber of the employee's mind, and the absence of other cues from you, "I would like" was probably heard as a passive-aggressive demand, if not a derisive sneer. "If you are having trouble," was meant as "I'm here to help," but interpreted as "I think you're a dolt for taking 6 days to do a minor task." The length of your email also compounded the emotional dissonance. You thought of it as just a quick note on a task, but your brevity came across as curt.
Lastly, the form of communication itself (email) could be interpreted as, "Just so you know, I'm documenting your incompetence."
Ouch, right?
Here are some suggestions for preventing this next time:
1. You could call. Your goal is to check the progress of the task and give the employee a chance to respond with questions — a call could accomplish this while allowing both of you to hear each other's tone of voice. Since you say at least two of your staff find your emails harsh, this could be the easiest solution.
2. Include deadlines when you first make a request. If you don't have time to call, or if time zones make calling a hassle, email can still work if you revise your initial request to include a due date, or, for a bigger project, a due date for an status update. By giving a date, your follow-up won't feel as aggressive and your employee will be less likely to take it personally. Deadlines will also help your staff prioritize — perhaps rendering follow-ups unnecessary.
3. Be conversational. Even if the first email was unchanged, the second email could be written to avoid a blow up. You don't need lots of smiley faces or exclamation points. You just need to write the way you might actually talk. For example, your second email could read: "Hi Cindy, just following up on the email below — can you let me know how far along the task is? I was hoping we could have this by the meeting on Thursday, is that a possibility?"
4. Use the passive voice. It doesn't make for great writing, but it can help you avoid sounding accusatory — and it sounds like your employee felt accused.
5. Share your train of thought. If I know why you emailed me 37 spreadsheets and asked for me to combine them by Tuesday, it allows me to be part of the process rather than feel like a cog being dumped on.
To handle the situation as it is now, call. Let your employee know you meant no disrespect, and that your goal, and theirs, was and is to get the job done. And let them know that the I'm-an-emotional-person-and-you-hurt me email has no place at work.
Lastly, I'd like to use this as an opportunity to repeat why I think even the "simplest" emails need to be revised with care. It takes time and thought to ensure you don't give the wrong emotional cues.
Let's open this up to my readers and get you some more opinions. Does anyone have other advice? Do you disagree with the recommendations I've proposed?

mail-in applications that it
has already been accepting
, the show is launching a 28 city nationwide casting call tour beginning this weekend.
The Apprentice
casting call tour will begin Saturday, January 29 in Los Angeles, CA and end in Albuquerque, NM on Saturday, February 26. Wristbands will be distributed between 8AM to 11AM at all locations, with interviews beginning at 9AM.

Oh ya, and based on the first three seasons of the show, being young and at least fairly attractive also won't hurt.

PM quizzed on new patent jobs for Newport
1:10pm Wednesday 4th July 2012 in Business
NEWPORT West MP Paul Flynn quizzed prime minister David Cameron on how many new jobs would come to Newport off the back of a new European patent court, part of which will be based in the UK.
Mr Cameron told the commons that the court would bring hundreds of jobs to Britain with a a significant part – covering pharmaceutical and life science industries – based in London.
Mr Flynn asked how many of those jobs would be located in "the home of the brilliantly successful" Intellectual Property Office.
Mr Cameron said he did not know the answer to that question.
Mr Flynn told the Argus he will write to Mr Cameron over the issue.

11.2. Health service provision
11.2.2. Public health services
Link to concordances are always highlighted on mouse hover
Public health can be defined as the art and science of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organized efforts of society. It differs from health services in its focus on the population and not on the individual, and involves efforts by all sectors and levels of government. Primary prevention aims at reducing or removing the cause of a disease or illness, while secondary prevention seeks to identify individuals at an early stage of the disease, when this is still reversible.
Many countries have developed national public health strategies, inclusive of a set of goals to be achieved. The strategies differ, reflecting the national context and political choices, but they also have much in common, for example the widespread emphasis on tackling inequalities in health. Comprehensive policies to reduce social inequalities in health can be seen in England, Sweden, and at local level in the Netherlands (Judge et al 2006). The concept of health strategies has echoes at international level. In the EU, following the Maastricht Treaty in 1992, eight priority areas were identified for community action programmes based on the burden of the disease, its socioeconomic impact, the degree to which it is amenable to preventive action, and on the fact whether the programmes would be valuable and complementary to current practice in the member states (Merkel and Hübel, 1999). These priority areas were identified as: health promotion, cancer, AIDS, drug dependence, health monitoring, injuries, rare diseases and pollution-related diseases. The latest of the EU's multi-annual public health programmes ran from 2003 to 2008, and aimed at improving information and knowledge for the development of public health, enhance the capability of responding rapidly and in a coordinated fashion to threats to health, and promote health and prevent disease by addressing health determinants across all policies and activities. The programme's implementation is overseen by the European Commission's Public Health Executive Agency.
No country has a systematic procedure for making decisions affecting public health, or setting priorities among different public health interventions. One exception may be in the UK with the recent inclusion of public health intervention cost effectiveness evaluation in the remit of the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence. The methodology used for making decisions and setting priorities in public health typically relate to population health status, epidemiological data, burden of disease and, at times, scope for prevention. Also important in this process, however less documented, are political negotiations, pressure from interest groups and informal processes (Allin et al 2004).
Spending on public health is extremely difficult to accurately measure and compare across countries. The data suggest that, despite increased attention at policy level and development of national policies, there has been an increase in funding only in some countries, e.g. Austria (from 1.6% total health spending in 1995 to 2% in 2005), and the Netherlands (from 3.5% to 4.7%) (OECD Health data 2007). Very low levels of funding are seen in most countries, with public health and prevention accounting for about 0.7% in Italy, to 4.7% in the Netherlands and 3.9% in Finland. Spending on prevention included a wide range of programmes such as vaccination programmes and public health campaigns on alcohol abuse and smoking. It is important to exercise caution when interpreting public health expenditure data: some public health programmes may not be accounted for, such as those related to GP practice; public health activities may be coordinated or funded by other ministries e.g. social and environmental sectors; and the costs for some activities, in particular occupational health programmes, may fall on private enterprises.
Several European governments have moved mental health problems up on their political agenda, and are showing signs of tackling the stigma, discrimination and health threats associated to mental illness. However, spending on mental health varies widely across Europe. Only five countries spend at least 10% of their health budget on mental health, with the lowest levels of under 2.5% and 3% in CEE countries (McDaid et al, 2005).
A common limitation in the area of public health policy in Europe is the relative lack of evidence to support policy decisions and evaluate the effectiveness of programmes. More research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of public health interventions. Commentators have argued that it is important to move beyond the 'black box' that describes the current thinking of economic evaluation in the area of public health, and that the mechanisms of economic appraisal can and should be applied to public health to better inform policy makers (Kelly et al, 2005). One of the exceptions to the above limitations is screening. In terms of mental health, while the evidence base on the availability of cost effective pharmaceutical and psycho-social treatments continues to grow, there are substantial gaps in our knowledge on the prevalence of mental health disorders.

- 1cuTTara – cuTlara - Similar word (cuTlAra) occurs in the Kriti 'eTlA dorikitivO' – Raga Vasanta. However, the form of the word is not clear. The nearest word is 'cuTTu'. The ending of the word 'ara' may mean 'half'. If 'cuTTara' is not a single word, then 'ara' would be combined with the ensuing word 'gaDiya' as 'ara gaDiya' – half hour – please refer to note below.
- 3telisi – telipi : telisi - is appropriate.
- 2gaDiya –(Tamil Nazhigai) duration of 24 minutes – As per Indian tradition, a day consists of 60 hours (gaDiya) of 24 minutes each, as against 24 hours of 60 minutes each in Western System.
- 2gaDiya dOva – As per Tamil Dictionary, 7.5 Nazigai or 180 mins = 1 kAdam (Tamil) - approx 10 miles or 16 km. Therefore, gaDiya dOva is approximately 2.1 km; ara gaDiya dOva would be equivalent to 1.05 km.

Research of Cooperation of IPSec and Firewall
Source: Academy Publisher
IPSec provides security services at the IP layer and ensures the packets transmitted safely in Internet by authenticating and encrypting. As IPSec encapsulates some important information of packets, it can not cooperate efficiently with packets filter firewall, which filters packets according to protocol and port. For the cooperation question of IPSec and firewall, this paper proposes the solution that handles security problems on protocol head and datagram separately, combines this layered approach with the key agreement way, and lets the firewall involved in the key agreement phase of IPSec, make the encrypted data packets pass, thus solving the compatibility operation problem.

Ed Balls opens himself up to attacks from Left and Right
In the cold light of day, Ed Balls's Guardian interview looks even more troubling for Labour. For one thing, it opens Balls up to attacks on both his Left and Right flanks.
As I wrote last night, the Tories will ridicule the notion of a post-election review that's independent of any hard or fast rules on deficit reduction or broader spending restraint: they will brand it as empty rhetoric. Meanwhile, many inside Labour's ranks will be nervous at what it means for cherished areas of spending. It introduces an element of fiscal uncertainty, rather than what Labour needs, which is credibility.
It also invites a whole host of questions Labour was supposedly trying to avoid. In his interview Balls has hinted that key areas such as overseas aid and preventative health measures will be ring-fenced and exempt from the scope of his review. So what about other areas? Trident? Disability benefits? School playing fields? Are they up for grabs, or are they also protected?
Labour insiders told me last night that we're seeing the start of a softening-up exercise, with Balls laying the groundwork for a tougher stance on spending closer to the election. "This is supposed to be about firming up, not watering down," said one shadow cabinet source. But another was more sceptical, "This is just Ed's way of getting through the Autumn Statement without having to endorse or reject the Tories' plans," said one insider.
If Balls's idea is trying to inch his party towards a more fiscally credible position, all to the good. But time is not on his side. If Labour is to get ahead of the game on the economy it is imperative they are seen to be leading, rather than reacting to, events. If, as most economists predict, the green shoots of recovery do begin to sprout, Labour must be seen to have its own political strategy aligned with the economic cycle. That means getting their fiscal ducks in a row before any "recovery narrative" takes hold. If George Osborne is able to make it look like Ed Balls and Labour have been caught flat-footed by a return to growth, and are scrabbling to play catch up, he will have Labour boxed into a corner.
Labour have grasped the wrong nettle. The issue the party has to address at this point in the parliament is not spending on specific budget lines. It is its broader approach to the fiscal challenges facing the economy. Labour has to have a clear line on the scope, and pace, of its own deficit reduction strategy – And its own "golden rule" on net spending in relation to the Coalition's proposals; proposals that will be outlined in more detail this coming December.
If Ed Balls were – for example – to give a commitment to match the Coalition's deficit reduction timeline, or even merely provide his own, that would present David Cameron and George Osborne with a major headache; similarly if he were to indicate a reluctance to go beyond net government spending totals. That would provide Balls with the credibility he craves, without getting dragged into a debate on the specifics of individual Labour holy cows.
As it is, I suspect Ed Balls is about to experience the pain, without any appreciable gain.

Follow the "sensible money"
For the past 20 years, the financial markets industry has profited by capitalizing on "pockets of opacity," creating, buying and selling complicated products with limited regulatory oversight.
While this approach has allowed high returns, it has also introduced greater risk and market volatility. To move toward more sustainable returns, the industry needs to establish a new financial order by focusing on three imperatives:
- First, work with regulators to establish a financial system that balances stability with innovation
- Deliver on brand promises by focusing on the interests of clients
- Solve its identify crisis, which may involve a change in business models.
The firms that compete most successfully in this new environment will be those that specialize and form partnerships with other organizations to supplement their own areas of expertise, listen to their clients and provide offerings that are tailored to the needs of different client segments. They will, in essence, embrace transparency and follow the sensible money, rather than seeking inflated returns through unsustainable practices.

Looking for Tasting Menu/Private Room for Group of 20/25
I am looking for suggestions for where I can host a dinner for 20 to 25 people. Ideally we'd like a tasting menu in a private room. We value good food and service. Inventive cuisine is fine (think, say, Degustation) although prefer something not totally off the tracks. Italian, Spanish, American are good bets. Asian or Latin are probably not ideal. Prefer downtown location. Budget is $150 p/p including beverages, tax. Thanks for your help.....
Supposed to be good, awaiting responses myself but on Monday evening's Aroma has a tasting menu paired with wines (optional). They have a private room which may accomodate your guest size. http://aromanyc.com/index.html
Convivio has a semi-private area (it's curtained off, not walled off). I recently inquired about pricing for a lunch and it was reasonable. Though, it's not in your preferred geographic area, the food is terrific.
Also check with Blue Hill because I think they have a small room in the back. Though, with beverages, this is going to be over your price point.
