Chapter III.A MATE FOR MOTHER HUBBARD.Do criminals feel glad or sorry when they wake and find it broad morning, two hours before their execution? Are they thankful to have been beguiled with sound sleep, or had they rather have had broken slumbers, finding again and again that it is still dark, or only just dawning yet? To those who love their beds, and dread the coming of the hour of rising, and nothing worse, there is something pleasant in being thus repeatedly reminded that it is not time to get up; but how it may be when a worse evil impends has perhaps never been told. Anna's experience (and she felt that her case was very like a going to execution) could not throw any light upon the matter; for she did not sleep at all. Breakfast was as much out of the question as sleep. She did not pretend to take any, even to please her mother, for she had something to do which would occupy her whole time till Mrs. Brennan came for her. During the night it had occurred to her that there could be no harm in carrying with her a copy of her father's letter to the King, lest that which she had put into the post-office should not have reached its destination. The employment was good for her. It prevented her being in quite so disagreeable a state of palpitation and thirst as she might have suffered if she had been quite at liberty for watching the clock. The Brennans came at last before they were expected. "Your boy with you, Mrs. Brennan! Do you mean him to go too?" "He is so very anxious, ma'am, to be of use to you; and it struck him that you might wish, in the middle of the business, to send for somebody, or to have some kind of messenger at hand." Anna shook her head. Whom could she send for at her utmost need? "I wonder," said Anna, when she had put on her shawl, and was casting her last fluttered look around her,—"I wonder whether I should take a pound or two of that tea with me. The gentlemen may require to see it." "I should be disposed, ma'am," said Mrs. Brennan, "to leave it to the informers to show the article that they complain of. It is not your part, I should think, to be aiding their cause." Anna had opened the door of the cupboard where her packages of adulterated tea were ranged as neatly as every other article which the house contained. She now quickly closed it, and seeing that there was no further pretence for lingering, solemnly kissed her mother and departed. As they walked, Mrs. Brennan showed herself to be a partisan of Anna's. In this leaning towards the defendant she was only like other people. Where the King is prosecutor, not paying for his law, the popular inclination is usually against him; and especially when he sues for his moneyed rights. This indicates the policy of contracting instead of multiplying such proceedings to the utmost. "I am afraid the judgment will go against you, ma'am," said the good woman, "and it is the best kindness to tell you so beforehand. There is little hope for you against the King, especially when he makes other people pay his lawyers. A gentleman that I knew was fined 50l. and the costs came to 500l. In this court, however, there are often no costs, and the business is done pretty quickly and cheaply,—which does not, as I say, make it the less a pity that it should have to be done at all. You are lucky, too, ma'am, in not having to do with a jury, as juries were, on excise cases, some time ago. Ma'am, the jury used to have two guineas and a dinner when they found a verdict for the Crown, and only one guinea, and no dinner, when they found for the defendant. You may suppose the accused seldom got his cause." "And yet juries seem generally to be thought good things for the accused," observed Anna. "Some people consider it a great stretch of power to do without them in excise cases, ma'am; but, dear me, there would be no end of trials by jury, if all that are informed against were so tried. The court would have to be open all day from the first of January to the last of December, and a thousand people a year would be ruined for law expenses. Besides, they say that the quick judgments given by these gentlemen, on the information of their own servants, strike a wholesome terror into folks, without which the laws would not be observed." Anna could answer for the terror. Whether it was wholesome was another question. How she reproached herself for her terrors about her own fate when she witnessed some of the cases presented this day in court! She could have been amused at some, from the apparent frivolity of the charges, if the consequences had not appeared more grave than the accusations: but there were others which could be viewed only with intense commiseration. What had Dennis Crook done that he was called upon to pay 4l. 15s. 4½d.? Dennis Crook was a paper-stainer, and had neglected to pay the duty of 2l. 7s. 8¼d., and he was therefore called on for the double duty in order that the single might be recovered, with costs. Poor Dennis declared that he had told the collector that he would pay the duty, and the costs with it, the first day that some money which was due to him should come in. It was very cruel of the collector to bring him here, knowing that he had no wish to evade the duty, and that the bringing him here was enough to ruin his business. It had got abroad already, and he had lost two customers by it. God forbid that he should be so inconsiderate to the person who had brought him to this by not paying him to the day! Dennis could not pay the penalty till this person yielded him his due,—not a bit the more for being brought here; but that person should not be exposed by him as he was exposed in this court, to the destruction of his business. If he should never pay another shilling of duty to the king, the court might ascribe it to his difficulties being laid open in this way,—difficulties which might have been got over easily enough if the court had not stepped in between him and his customers.—The court did not see what it had to do with all this. The single duty, with a small increase for costs, was squeezed out of poor Dennis, who went away, pulling his hat over his eyes, and saying that this would be the signal for his landlord to turn him out of the little shop in which he had carried on his business for many years; and God only knew where he was to establish himself next. What could have brought hither that respectable elderly woman, who looked as if she could never in her life have broken a law or a rule? She came to save her son from a prison, it it might be within her small means to do so. On his coming of age, she had given up to him the small tenement she possessed. She had better have kept it till her death. He had been seduced into a "speculation," and had set up a private still. The still and all the spirits on the premises were seized, and the mother was now here to pay the penalty of 100l. which was just half of the little portion she had destined for her daughter. She knew that it was more likely that she should have to maintain John than that he would ever repay this 100l., for his character was gone. She cast down her eyes while she held out the money, with a trembling hand, and did not speak to John as they went away, though he looked as if he longed above everything for a word from her. Mrs. Brennan found that much explanation was necessary before Anna could believe that all this ruin was caused by the act of distilling spirits without the leave of the government. A widow, in shabby mourning, with a babe in her arms, was quietly crying in a corner. She had sold her furniture by auction, and had neglected to get a license. She had better have kept her furniture; for the penalty swallowed up nearly all the proceeds of the sale. Anna thought this the most cruel levy of a tax she had ever heard of; for this poor woman would not have sold her furniture if she had not been in want. To be compelled to pay for permission to do what was in itself a hardship, was a stranger piece of oppression than Anna had witnessed yet,—much as she had seen. She followed the widow, to make sure of the facts, and found that the poor woman had been on the point of setting up a little shop, and sharing a cheap lodging with a brother: but now that her money was almost all gone, she could see nothing before her but selling fruit in the streets; but, in that case, she must look about for some one who would take care of her baby, while the other two little ones must tramp the streets with her. If she had but sold her furniture in any other way! But her brother advised an auction, and had taken upon himself to be auctioneer; and how could she suspect what would happen? The wonder was how those to whom the public money came at last could enjoy it if they knew of its being wrung in ways like these from the ignorant, the simple, and the distressed. The old and obvious question recurred,—why not ask the nation for the money that is wanted, instead of filching it? Why not settle openly how it is to be paid, and take it directly, as rent is taken, or as contributions for any other object are collected? Surely no objections to this simple method of taxation could long stand when our great nation of buyers and sellers had once found the comfort of natural and regular prices, of wages not arbitrarily and uselessly raised,—the luxury of being rid of the oppression of Custom-houses and Excise courts, and of the plague of a spreading host of revenue spies. Little could be said of the dignity of the circumstances out of which the State funds arise by any one who had seen others of the cases which Anna witnessed, and which really amused her, and beguiled her of her apprehensions for a time. It seemed ridiculous that the king should, by his officers, be seriously complaining of being injured by one man selling pepper without a license, and another removing wine without a permit, and a third having more brandy in his cellar than he declared he had, and a fourth having rum under a certain strength among his stock, and a fifth forgetting to keep an entry-book, and a sixth tying up his pasteboard in a wrong way, and a seventh having neglected one night to put down how much black tea he had sold in small quantities. It did not seem very dignified in any government to concern itself and worry its subjects about such matters as these. Anna could have laughed once, when the mention of black tea brought her back to a consciousness of her own awkward predicament. What she had seen had much abated her horror, however. She was able, when called upon, to say that she found she had committed an illegal act, but that she was not the least aware, at the time, that she was doing anything improper, as was shown by her offering some of her thorn leaves to persons who were passing through the field. She could not think it very kind of those persons to pass by without giving her warning of what she was doing. She saw, to be sure, that they looked grave upon her; but how was she to know why, unless they told her? In Jersey they would not have treated a stranger so. "And pray do they make tea of thorn leaves in Jersey?" asked one of the gentlemen. "Very rarely, because tea is so cheap there that it would not be worth while; but anybody may do it that likes. I should not have thought of doing it here but for the dearness of tea; and I never could have supposed that the custom of the country was first to render tea so dear as to tempt us to make it for ourselves, and then to punish us for so making it;—a thing we should never otherwise have thought of." Studley, on whose information, supported by witnesses, the whole proceeded, smiled maliciously, and said that the young woman showed what family she belonged to by her enmity to the Excise. It went in the family; her brother having absconded to escape an excise charge, and her father being now in prison in consequence of one. This statement made the expected impression. How could the gentlemen do otherwise than think ill of such a family of delinquents? Studley followed up the matter by declaring what trouble the Excise had with the Le Brocqs. There was no other set of people that he had had to watch so closely; no other premises that he had been obliged to enter so often. "It is very easy to watch people, Mr. Studley," said Anna, "without showing that they have done wrong; and entering premises by day and night, week after week, does not prove that anything amiss is found there." "It answers another purpose, if I may say so, gentlemen," interposed Mrs. Brennan. "If an excise officer has a spite against a family, nothing is easier than to take away their character by frequent search, which I believe is what Mr. Studley is trying to do with this family. I wish, gentlemen, that you would ask Mr. Studley what he has found in any of his searches from the day that Mr. Aaron went away." "Impossible," said one of the commissioners. "We have nothing to do with the character of these people; as you, Studley, ought to have remembered before you entered upon matters with which we have no concern. The charge was admitted. That is all we have to do with." Studley was ordered to recover a fine,—a small one, for the gentlemen saw something of the nature of the case,—and to destroy or see destroyed the adulterated tea. Anna humbly listened to the unnecessary admonition not to repeat the offence, and then begged the gentlemen to let her father out of prison, where his health was suffering materially from the confinement. This kind of petition must be sent to the Board, accompanied by a medical certificate of the state of the prisoner's health, one of the gentlemen was informing her, when Studley interfered to allege that Le Brocq was well able to pay the fine,—better able than a hundred men who had petitioned the Board in vain for their release. "If that be the case," said a commissioner, who had a little attention to spare from the case which his colleagues had now called on,—"if that be the case—Is it the case, young woman? Tell me the truth." "If my father's stock could be sold, he might pay," Anna declared: "but nobody comes to buy; and nobody will come now that Mr. Studley has taken away our good name by following us for evil as he has done." "He must do his duty. I can hear no complaints against him for doing his duty. If he has given you cause of complaint, you can have redress by applying in the right quarter." "But, sir, what can I do about the fine? My mother and I are willing to work night and day to raise the fine, if we knew which way to turn ourselves: but there seems to be so much danger in employments here that we are afraid to begin any new ones." "O, any one will tell you the law, if it is that you are afraid of. What sort of employment were you thinking of?" "My having been asked for so much of my own tea made us think of selling tea and groceries: but I have seen people fined to-day for selling pepper without leave, and having tobacco in a private room, and forgetting to set down at night what they sold in the day, and also for finding that they had more on hand than they had given an account of. I should be afraid, sir, to sell groceries. But there is another thing that was partly put into my head, and partly thought of by myself, owing to our having a great quantity of duty-paid bottles unsold. My mother and I have always been used to make cider, and some kinds of sweet wine. There is talk of a great deal of ginger wine being likely to be drunk this year, for fear of the cholera. We might make it at little risk, as ginger is so cheap an article, and we have the bottles." "Well: you can but try. You are aware, I suppose, that ginger is not so cheap here as you can get it in Jersey? Ginger pays duty here." "And sugar is taxed too, and so is your little matter of spirit, ma'am," interposed Mrs. Brennan. "You must not go to work, reckoning the cost of all your materials at what you might get them for before you came here." "She may easily learn the prices of things," said the condescending commissioner; "and then she has only to take care to give in her name and place of abode, and of her rooms and utensils; and to renew her license (which will cost two guineas) every year; and to give notice when she intends to draw off her wine; and to be careful not to send it out in less quantities than a whole cask containing fifteen gallons." Anna looked dismayed, and asked, "And should we have anything to do with Mr. Studley in that case, sir?" "If his superiors find that he has reason for suspicion, he may enter at any hour, provided he takes a constable, at night. He may also break walls and pull up floors, if he believes that anything improper in his line is concealed there; but you would be careful to avoid dangers of this kind, and get yourself visited daily, according to law, to obviate suspicion." "Every day, sir!" "Yes; if you make wine. If you only retail it, once in twenty-eight days is all you are subject to; and the annual license for mere retailing is only a guinea, the notices and entries being of the same kind required of makers. If you combine the two—" "I cannot, sir. I dare not. Your gentleman would be bringing me up and fining me once a week, sir." "O, you could not get very deep into any scrape, I assure you; the state gets only between two and three thousand pounds from all the sweet-wine makers in the kingdom. There are four who pay less than 1l. a year, and no more than six who pay above 100l.; and only twenty-three makers altogether. Even the retailers are under nine hundred in number. It is an insignificant concern altogether." "To the king, perhaps, sir; but not to me, if I have to pay tax upon what my wine is made of, and a tax for making it, and a tax upon the bottles that hold it, and a tax for selling it; and if I am liable to be watched and tormented by Mr. Studley, or men like him. I think, sir, the government might really give up such a vexation, if it brings in so little—so very little." "And employs a good many people like Mr. Studley, at a hundred a year," added Mrs. Brennan. "I think, ma'am, you must give up your idea of making wine." "Yes, indeed," replied Anna. "Perhaps, sir, as it is for the king's sake that I am prevented getting money for my father, as I otherwise might; and as you are one of those who manage these affairs, you will not refuse that this letter should go to his majesty. It is from my father, sir, copied by me, and asking no charity at all, but only consulting about what is best for both." The commissioner was unwilling to let such a curiosity escape. The letter was wafered, so that he could not ask to glance his eye over it. He would fain keep it, but did not like to deceive the poor girl with false hopes. Anna was pleased to see him hesitate. Studley stopped his laugh of ridicule. Mrs. Brennan could scarcely refrain from nodding triumphantly at him. The commissioner turned from them to say a few words to his colleagues, so that Anna could not see his face. He soon returned, quietly saying,— "I am not sure that I can get this letter into the king's hands; but you may leave it with me; and if your father cannot pay his fine by this day week, you may come here again, and we will consult upon his case. Studley, the fine to which this young woman has made herself liable is remitted. It is clearly a case of remarkable ignorance. The adulterated tea must be destroyed, of course. You will see to it; but treat her gently, if you please." The commissioner then explained to Anna that all who were discontented with any decision of this court might seek redress in the Court of Appeal. Anna found it difficult to understand exactly what was meant. The only clear idea she carried away was that nobody ever applied to this Court of Appeal; so that most people began to wish that it might be done away as one of the useless burdens of the Excise. She was sure that she should not be the next person to appeal. The court might be done away for anything she had to say against it. Its being seldom or never applied to seemed to show that the court she was now in was thought to conduct its business well; but it appeared to her that it would be a happy thing to sweep away both, and all excise jurisdiction whatsoever. "Where is Brennan?" asked Anna, when she and her companion had made their low curtsies, and turned round, with lightened hearts, to go away. "He was off some time since," Mrs. Brennan replied; "to run and tell your mother how matters were going, I dare say. They have been merciful to you, ma'am; and I give you joy." "O, Mrs. Brennan, I think I never will dread anything again. I have often said so before, finding what I most dreaded come to a very little. I never was so frightened in my life before; but I really will try never to be afraid again." She spoke a moment too soon. "And what do you want with us pray, Mr. Studley?" inquired Mrs. Brennan, perceiving that that person walked close to Anna, as if he regarded her as more or less in his custody. "Going to discharge my duty," replied Studley. "The adulterated tea is to be publicly destroyed, you know, as bad books are burned by the common hangman." "Publicly!" repeated Anna, in consternation. "Where? How?" "In your father's yard. There cannot be a more convenient place for a bonfire." "Do you mean to burn the tea in sight of all the neighbours?" "That depends on whether they choose to look. I shall certainly not try to hang up any sort of blind." "I wonder at you, ma'am," said Mrs. Brennan, "that you go on asking him questions, just to give him the pleasure of making sharp answers." Anna said no more. She was thrown back into her former state of trepidation. It was as much as she could do to walk straight. Mrs. Brennan seemed to think it a waste of time (or perhaps she considered it bad for Anna) to keep silence for so long a space. She began talking of her boy, and fished for a few compliments for him; but her companion seemed strangely careless of what she was saying. "What a smell of burning!" Mrs. Brennan exclaimed when they drew near the pottery-yard. All three looked round for tokens of fire; and Studley observed that one might have thought the furnaces were all employed, as they had been in his time. Smoke was coming out of the window of the kitchen, and even oozing from under the door. Anna really believed that the place was on fire, and exclaimed accordingly; when Brennan put his head out at the window, and Mrs. Le Brocq opened the door. Both seemed terribly heated, and made a display of scorched cheeks which would have done honour to a Christmas fire. It was evident from their looks that nothing was the matter. "Let me in," said Studley, in a voice of authority. "Clear a space in the yard for the fire. Boy, call the workmen (if there be any now-a-days) to clear the yard for the burning; and if nobody is on the premises, fetch some of the neighbours." "What may you be pleased to be going to burn?" asked the boy, briskly. "My tea," faltered Anna. "Come this way, Mr. Studley, and I will show you the cupboard where every grain of it is; and if you have any kindness in you, you will be quick with the job, and finish it before the neighbours can gather about us. Mother," continued she, as she entered the kitchen, whose atmosphere was rapidly clearing, "what have you been about? The hearth is piled up with ashes as high as the grate, and the grate is heaped half way up the chimney; and you look ready to faint with the heat and the vapour." "Mistress won't mind it, since we have got done in time," observed the boy, cheerfully; and then he began humming a tune. Studley had meanwhile advanced in slow dignity to the place which Anna had indicated to him. There was nothing in it. While he took an astonished survey of the shelves, Brennan went on from his humming to singing, and his words were some that every child is familiar with,—
"The poor dog, ha, ha!" repeated Mrs. Brennan, laughing. "And so the poor dog had none! So he put his tail between his legs, and slunk away, I dare say. Did not he, my dear?" Studley was now obliged to do something very like this. The boy had been quick. The moment he heard the tea condemned to destruction by the court, he ran with all speed to discharge Studley's errand for him. The last packet of tea was smouldering when he heard Anna's exclamation that there must be a fire somewhere. Studley would have Mrs. Le Brocq's tea-caddy brought down; and he fingered and smelled the contents. They were perfectly unexceptionable; and nothing remained for him but to go away. He felt to his back-bone the slam of the door behind him, and to the bottom of his soul the significance of the buzz of voices that came through the open window as he passed it. That Anna should escape thus easily was the last thing he had designed. And what an impudent little wretch that boy was, to be insulting him,—so lately his superior at the pottery,—with his nursery rhymes! All day, nothing would stay in Studley's head but

Rated 5 out of 5 by rockynmarie Durable bed
We did not purchase this bed for hunting purposes, but we were looking for a durable bed. Our dog has already destroyed six other beds (in less than a year) and this dog bed has held up. We can see where she has tried to bite/chew threw the bed, but she was unsuccessful. Would highly recommend as a durable bed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by doglove Buying another one!
We've just adopted another dog, and this bed has worked so well for our first dog (60lbs) for the past 4 years, of course we're buying another for our new dog! I love that the cover is waterproof because it makes spot cleaning easy yet the fabric is not at all scratchy or uncomfortable for the dog. And- the cover comes off and is easily washable as well. Our dog just has to lay down on her bed the second we put the freshly washed cover back on!

Rated 4 out of 5 by sjwow Very durable
My Bassett/Beagle mix has been using this bed for 2 years and it shows no signs of wear and tear! We take it every where we go. The only thing wrong with it for us, is that it turns out my dog is allergic to cedar so we had to keep it away from him for about a month until the cedar odor wore off.

The emphasis of the 27,000-specimen Minerals collection is directed largely toward exhibition and education. Approximately one third of all known mineral species are represented and a number of the specimens are considered among the finest examples in existence. Acquisitions include an outstanding suite of minerals from the former Soviet Union and a historically important suite of Pennsylvania minerals formerly owned by the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. The section houses a nice gem collection of about 2,300 pieces and a modest collection of meteorites.
Hillman Hall of Minerals and Gems has gained an international reputation as one of the finest and most important mineral exhibitions in the country. Many specimens from the collection of William W. Jefferis, a nineteenth century mineral collector from West Chester, Pennsylvania, are on exhibit throughout the hall. See how his collection, and those of other private collectors and mineral dealers, impacted our exhibitions in the History of Hillman Hall.
DatabaseMore than 90 percent of the collection data has been computerized and is available for viewing online, and acquisition and specimen conservation programs are very active. Visit the Collections Online to search the database.
Mineral MoviesSelected specimens from the collection are viewable in 360-degree format.
Museum Library (Minerals)The Carnegie Museum of Natural History Library is dispersed across a main library unit and individual section libraries. Please visit the Museum Library site for information on accessing titles.

About Kurt S. Adler Inc.
The story of Kurt S. Adler Inc. begins after the close of World War II when Mr. Adler tried his hand at exporting general goods. Business grew, and European economies flourished so he turned his focus to importing. Ornaments were offered by the 1950s, and beautiful, handmade angels from East and West Germany found an enthusiastic audience in America. Adler expanded the line to glass ornaments from Czechoslovakia, hanging ceiling decorations from Germany, and miniature lights from Italy.
The next decade, Adler started importing holiday decor from the Far East. Colorful snow globes and other animated items became a collector's favorite. In the 1980s and 90s, Fabriche Santas, nutcrackers and other collectibles were ushered in. Recent additions include animatronics, fiber optic trees, interactive advent calendars, and synchronized musical decorations.

There's a saying that paraphrases the Johari Window Model:
"If one person calls you a horse, ignore them. If 3 people call you a horse, look in the mirror. If 5 people call you a horse, buy a saddle."
It just means if there are enough people telling you something, you may want to listen to them. Doesn't mean they are 'correct', it's just they have a reason for thinking that way.
This model was created by Joseph Luft and Harry Ingram to help understand how we process information and our self awareness. Within the Johari Window Model there are 4 quadrants:
Quadrant 1: Open
These are traits that are out in the open. These are the things you and other people know about you.
Ideally you want to have the 'open' window as large as possible. In a team environment, this is where we are most productive or constructive.
This open area is where there is a higher level of trust and good communication. When things are "out in the open" (good or bad), the group knows where everybody is coming from and it allows easier communication.
Quadrant 2: Blind
These are the things about you that you are not aware of but other people see. Characteristics in this quadrant can be the most important quadrant for you to use.
This quadrant, is probably the most sensitive to provide feedback than the other 3 quadrants; especially if it's not a positive characteristic. There are areas in life where we may really be worse than we think, and the best way is to just be open to (or give) constructive feedback. It's not easy when when we are kept in the dark about things, but not all of us are ready to accept this kind of feedback.
The process of getting in-depth feedback is part of self actualization within Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs development model.
Quadrant 3: Hidden
These are things that you know about that others do not. The hidden self could be feelings, talents, information (secrets), fears or anything that a person does not make known to others.
It could be something deep or something "light". For instance, a guy who likes watching romance films (shhh!) and doesn't tell his spouse because he wants to be perceived more as a 'man'. Where in reality it could be holding back the happiness of that person because the spouse would love to do those kind of things.
The point is, there are some things that don't need to be kept hidden, but that choice should be made by of us and not imposed by others. We all have secrets; just be sure it's not holding you back in some way. After all, the more we reveal about ourselves in a high trust environment the more effective your your team will be.
Quadrant 4: Unknown
These are the things about you that you and others do not know. This area represents the opportunity to explore new ideas about yourself.
Within the unknown window lies your hidden abilities or skills. This is the area where you have the opportunity to explore new things. Since they are unknown, there's usually less pressure on you to "try" the things in this window.
On the other hand, within the unknown lies repressed feelings, unknown fears, behaviors conditioned since you were a child. It all depends on what you wish to analyze and the end goal you wish to achieve through such analysis.
The Johari Window Model a useful tool in self analysis: after all, you cannot consciously change what you don't know. The key is to be open to the feedback other people are giving you. Everybody knows at least somebody that has some glaring blind spots and just won't listen.
This model can be applied to just about any area where there are more than 1 person (business, family, etc). You could use this to analyze emotions, business activities, skills evaluation, personality traits, etc.
Johari Window Exercise
Here's an exercise the founders of the Johari Window Model came up with that could be a good starting point.
able accepting adaptable bold brave calm caring cheerful clever complex confident |
dependable dignified energetic extroverted friendly giving happy helpful idealistic independent ingenious |
intelligent introverted kind knowledgeable logical loving mature modest nervous observant organized |
patient powerful proud quiet reflective relaxed religious responsive searching self-assertive self-conscious |
sensible sentimental shy silly smart spontaneous sympathetic tense trustworthy warm wise witty |
Examine the Good, the Bad and the Ugly
I'm a believer in aligning your skills and tasks to your strengths, and the Johari Window Model can definitely help you discover talents, or potential you never knew. However, I think this tool is best used to examine unknown, glaring weaknesses that needs to be addressed. The list of negative traits developed by Joseph Luft and Harry Ingram is a Nohari variant. These are the blind spots worth addressing.
In western culture, we generally do avoid direct confrontation on other people's negative qualities. Which is generally not the case for eastern cultures; they tend to address "negative" issues directly.
So, for us in western culture, here's an analogy that could work: Before a meeting, you bump into one of your friends and he sees a big, huge booger in your nose. While embarrassing, wouldn't you like to know if you have a booger in your nose before everybody at the meeting sees it?
It's generally better and easier to have your friends or people you trust give you feedback on these kind of issues. So, here's a quick list of "negative qualities" to get you started.
blasé boastful brash callous chaotic childish cold cowardly creepy cruel cynical |
distant dispassionate dull embarrassed foolish glum hostile humorless ignorant impatient imperceptive |
inane inattentive incompetent inflexible insecure insensitive intolerant irrational irresponsible lethargic loud |
needy over dramatic panicky passive predictable rash selfish self-satisfied simple smug stupid |
timid unethical unhappy unhelpful unimaginative unreliable vacuous violent vulgar weak withdrawn |
In conclusion, the Johari Window Model is a simple tool to discover strengths, blind spots and areas to explore. This feedback model works best in a team environment that has a high level of trust. To be effective, be sure to analyze the positive and negative qualities; use feedback to your advantage, it can pay dividends.

Condé Nast prepped accordingly for the increased consumer curiosity surrounding the themed issue, where Steven Meisel shot the likes of Naomi Campbell, Alek Wek, Jourdan Dunn, Liya Kebede, Veronica Webb and upcoming names like Sessilee Lopez and Toccara Jones. A spokeswoman for Condé said the company increased newsstand distribution of the special issue by 40 percent in the U.S., and will reallocate Italian copies earmarked for returns to the U.S. The company will also print another 10,000 copies to meet the demand for the issue. "Franca Sozzani is a brilliant editor whose courage and originality never cease to astonish. Working in collaboration with Steven Meisel she has produced a groundbreaking issue, which in a small way, changes the world. I am very proud of it," said Jonathan Newhouse, chairman of Condé Nast International. Ironically, Vogue Italia wasn't available at the two places most likely to carry the issue — the Hudson News at Condé Nast's headquarters at 4 Times Square and the newsstand at Condé's satellite offices at 750 Third Avenue did not carry the issue on Friday. Store clerks at both locations expected to have copies by Monday.

Project Spurs:
With the 58th pick in the NBA Draft, the San Antonio Spurs select Deshaun Thomas, a 6'7" forward from Ohio State. This guy can put the ball in the hole. But enough of that analysis. This is the guy that refused to give the Spurs his phone number at the NBA Draft Combine.
"I can't go around giving it out to everyone," Thomas said Thursday with a laugh. "Now if they want to draft me, I'd be happy to give it to them."
I can't believe this worked out for him. You don't reward that untrusting behavior. Maybe R.C. Buford and Gregg Popovich enjoyed the fact that he's a secretive guy, not immediately trusting. Either way, this guy averaged 19.8 points and six rebounds a game last year. While he's looked at as a great shooter, he only shot 34 percent from three last year and 44 percent overall. Still, he's 6'7" with a 6'10" wingspan, which is pretty good size. He's not much of an athlete though, which could hold him bac...

Recipe by Luke Siegrist
"Baked red apples have a strong, sweet flavor and a buttery cinnamon filling with a hint of coconut. Eat with a knife and fork. Goes well with vanilla ice cream or alone."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 large Red Delicious apple
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 tablespoon finely shredded coconut
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch brown sugar, or to taste (optional)
1 pinch ground cinnamon, or to taste (optional)
I used Granny Smith apples and skipped the coconut only because I didn't have any. I topped each apple with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and a drizzle of the juices from the baking pan. This was so freaking good. One of the best things I have eaten in a while.
I loved the apples. I ate the apples just as written, no ice cream or whipped topping here. The cinnamon and brown sugar combination was delicious. I will definitely make these apples again. I did have to cook the apples another 5 minutes.

LibraryThing Review
User Review - LibraryThingThis was my textbook for an accredited online learning course from a decent university. The course was not worth the money. The book was, which was a good thing since the "instructor" provided none of his namesake services; I learned only from the book. Definitely an undergrad text, but research is integrated into the text with decent references. The CD-ROM was not impressive, however, and the INFOTrac access which comes with the text is nearly useless; there are few articles in the "student version" and no logical reason why some would be included and others not. The diagrams for each condition summarizing the etiological underpinnings are fairly well done and a good learning tool. There were some occasions where I felt the emphasis devoted to each condition was a bit uneven, but overall I would recommend this book.

4.54 / 5.00 21,969 ViewsBe sure to check out my NG page for info on the upcoming Uniwar novel (now titled The Ideal Soldier).
Our website has changed. It is now www.idealsoldier.com . The old urls in the flash game no longer work.
My email has changed. It is now [email protected] The old address no longer works.
Check out the new prequel to this here: http://tinyurl.com/yzeu4d
and the enhanced Flash 8 version here:
This Flash game is Nintendo Wii compatible.
This Flash game is in no way associated with the Uniwar iPhone game. This game predates the Uniwar iPhone game by nine years.
I have updated the graphics in Level 1 (sorry not Level 2) for the one year anniversary in 2001. That is why level 1 looks better than 2.
I've been getting tons of reviews saying "make level 2!" There already is one! Just check under my other works in the lower left.
I didnt get the start bit and the gore is basic
This game is pretty useless compared to games like shoot 2 and tsunami. There is interactivity but that is also basic and there is really no challenge to the game.
Good but not Great
I thought the game was pretty basic and I didn't know why the guy at the beginning was doing some kind of back breaker manouver. A pretty easy game with hardly any challenge to it, although it was a kind of thought out well but not put back to basics.
exactly. its too basic. thats why i'm remaking it the way i originally envisioned it. you just told things how they are!
i am hArD To pLeAsE aNd i lOvE It
i loved this game it was so cool. the graphics are ace and the music well what can be said...it rocks. the game overall is a great one and a lot of effort must have gone in to it. i have just started using flash myself and my god you must be brilliant to make this. i liked the way that it was difficult i hate when games are too easy to beat i like a challenge. its stylish and fun to play and im glad that youre putting more gore in to the next one...gore is always good!!! just you keep up the good work and ill be a very happy girl. bye:)
w00t, weeeee doggy! i think you gals are latching onto loving this because of the "cute" graphics. anyway thanks and glad you're looking forward to the next one! peaceage!
I found a cheat: (that's one of my hobbies)
Let yourself be killed, and then, when you 're asked if you want to play again, press your right mouse-button, and select "play" in the flash menu. You'll start again with no health, what means you're INVINCIBLE. Don't take any health bottles after this, because when you get health, your invincibility stops. I noticed they disabled the Flash Controls Menu on their website, so you can't cheat there :(
i think your review of starcraft war was mistakenly not put here. oh well. thanks!
please make it easier it would make me happy.
oh and the reason i rated the style a 3 is because it was the first game i played so i like it,i thought it was bloodier,strange,i remember it being WAY bloodier.
i dont blame you. its old and obsolete.

"Thank you so much. I love your paintings. Not only are they visually beautiful, they speak to me on a different level. I am a mom of two little boys, with a husband who works 50+ hours a week.

I have to let you know that looking at those little moments made me remember that even if life is hectic and crazy, I have that, and I feel so lucky all over again. So what can I say, my smile is back and I can't wait to see the prints. Thanks again for the inspiration." ~ R.L., Miami, FL-

Marmol owes Schierholtz steaks for life. Imagine the commentary after the game if we hadn't got those insurance runs. A win doesn't change the fact that our closer can't enter the game without giving up hit after hit after walk after hit. We're gonna need a 1 run save at some point this season...and we're not gonna get it with him.
Posted 04 April 2013 - 01:25 PM
Take that FO. A win.
Awesome. I lol'd. True story.
Haha, and I don't mean that in a meat head mean spirited way, but the only reason he is out there is a last ditch attempt to save his value. Otherwise no way in hell he sees action in this game today. Just the way things are right now. You understand it, but it's still sickening.

Apple has released significant updates to two of its most popular programs, iTunes and QuickTime. Apple says that iTunes 7.5 features the ability to activate iPhone wherever service is offered and support for Phase, a new interactive music game designed exclusively for iPod nano (third generation), iPod classic, and iPod (fifth generation). This release also includes bug fixes to improve stability and performance. Editor's note: Some users of iToner are reporting that syncing their iPhone with iTunes 7.5 causes their custom ringtones to disappear temporarily, but it appears that syncing the phone with iToner again solves the problem. According to Apple, QuickTime 7.3 addresses critical security issues and delivers:

Wisconsin on Steroids? Arizona GOP Wants to Make State Most Anti-Union in Nation
"Wisconsin on steroids" –a sweeping set of anti-union laws even more severe than those passed in Madison last March over massive public outcry—is now on the legislative agenda in Arizona. Arizona Republicans seek to ban local unions of teachers, firefighters, police, and other public servants from collective bargaining, and would even prohibit local officials from conferring with unions. These and other proposals set a new low in proposed restrictions on union rights.
The draconian package of bills includes:
- A ban on local officials from bargaining with unions. It would even ban state and local units of government from conferring with unions.
- Public employees could no longer have their dues deducted from their paychecks.
- Enforcement of a "paycheck protection" plan making it harder for unions to get contributions for pro-labor candidates.
- Prohibit local governments from granting release time for union activities, so that union leaders would have to use personal time to resolve issues with management.
"We consider this even worse than the [anti-public union] legislation that Gov. Walker pushed in Wisconsin, "said AFL-CIO Executive Director Rebeka Friend. She believes the new wave of legislation is aimed at preventing union members from speaking out against the privatization of public services in Arizona.
Privatization has long been a central goal of both the American Legislative Exchange Council (see here and here), a national group funded heavily by the billionaire Koch brothers that drafts and promotes state legislation, and the Arizona-based Goldwater Institute, an ALEC affiliate.
"This is a Goldwater Institute attack," Friend explained. "They're a think-tank very prominent in anti-union activities, and their main goal is privatizing public services.
We stand in the way of what they want because union members know what is needed for good public services," she said. "Our members are a barricade to what ALEC and the Goldwater Institute want in terms of privatization. ... This legislation is for the corporate donors, not the taxpayers."
While victories for Gov. Walker and others have come at a huge political cost, the Republicans have arch-conservative Jan Brewer as governor and super-majorities in both houses of the legislature. Walker now faces a recall election demanded by 1.1 million citizens, almost as many as voted for him in 2010. In Ohio, Gov. John Kasich was humiliated when the voters in November repealed his law effectively stripping public workers of their rights.
But that has not halted their zealous comrades in Indiana and Arizona from escalating the battle against worker rights. Much of the nation is comprised of states lacking the same strong union traditions of Wisconsin and Ohio that have persisted despite a decline in union membership.
Corporations and the Right are currently focusing on states with lower levels of union organization and the absence of other mass-based advocacy groups. Thus, last week anti-union Republican legislators in Indiana rammed through "right-to-work" legislation that will outlaw the union shop and drive more workers into poverty, a condition already shared by one of three Hoosiers. Gov. Mitch Daniels signed the law this week.
Arizona has long been a "right-to-work," and state employees lack any rights to collectively bargain. Nonetheless, right-wing legislators have began a drive to totally silence the state's small but vigorous labor movement in their drive for privatization.
AFSCME Local 2960 President Frank Piccioli tore into the legislation during a televised debate with a Republican legislator. Piccioli declared, " The senator is trying to destroy representation for the middle class."
After quoting Ronald Reagan—who at one time was elected president of the Screen Actors Guild union—asserting that freedom cannot exist where unions are banned, Piccioli laid out a strong appeal to Arizona's broader public:
They're trying to destroy representation for firefighters, police, for 911 responders and teachers. Instead of going after the CEOs and banks that caused our problems, they're trying to shift the blame to public employees.
The Goldwater Institute's Nick Granias was remarkably frank in explaining how the legislation would cripple public unions so members would then seem them as useless. As Talking Points memo stated:
Granias said the measures were inspired by Wisconsin but were more modeled after legislation passed in Virginia about 30 years ago. He said the goal of the measures wasn't to ban public unions from Arizona but to make them seem obsolete.
"Gradually this would cause people to leave the unions as they recognized that unions no longer have an unfair bargaining advantage given to them by collective bargaining laws," Dranias said. "They'll realize that unions don't do much for them."
But Friend, Piccioli and the labor movement of Arizona believe that the Republican legislators are targeting a highly popular segment of the population: police officers, firefighters, teachers and first responders, among others.
The Republicans are also overtly standing with the richest 1% at a time when unemployment remains relatively high, Arizona is troubled by one of the nation's worst foreclosure rates, and the state is marked by vivid contrasts between the lives of the elite and the vast majority.
Within the next two weeks, Friend will be summoning AFL-CIO members and allies to the state capitol to try to stop the current anti-union wave sweeping across the country from dealing another blow.
