Husband is out of control
Sep 01, 2008 08:53 PM »
Hello Medinans. Please help because I do not know what to do. My husband has some problems I think. He is a very angry man, everything makes him crazy. I understand he is under much pressure with work and money and I am trying to help him but it seems nothing is good enough.
This morning for suhor I asked him what he wanted and he said whatever. I said I am heating up the soup for myself and some bread is that okay? He said yes. Then I heated up the bread and soup and brought it to him and asked did he want anything else and he got so angry. He said are you stupid is this all I'm supposed to eat? I said well what do you want and he got more angry where he pushed me into the bedroom. He started cursing me.
Many times he is like this and I am scared to even ask him a question because he gets so angry about everything. He does not understand that I am asking him because I want to give him what he wants. He expects me to read his mind and fulfill his desires like a psychic. If I do just try to do this and imagine what he wants then I serve him something then he gets angry because it's not what he wished for or something is missing.
Of course it is not just with food. Whenever I mention something Islamic I read he gets upset with me and saying that I am reading something from a group that is too extremist. I might agree with him but I want to understand reasoning on both parts. Instead of having discussion he gets angry.
It seems everything I does makes him angry or is not good enough. He thinks I am too fat to take to meet his family even though they have seen me and talked to me on webcam and telephone and they know we are married. I feel insulted by this. He also says I do not lose weight fast enough even though I go to gym and take diet pills three times daily. He was never fat so he cannot understand the struggle. He married me when I was fat so I also do not understand. Of course I try to lose the weight and it is coming off in realistic speed but he thinks realistic is 20 pound a month which might be for some but not for me.
Every day he criticizes me for not having job since I lost my job. Every day I apply to probably at least 10 jobs and sometimes more if I can find them with my experience. He works a low quality part time job which he hates and is frustrated with but does not look for anything better for himself. I never see him applying for jobs.
He is not all bad. Sometimes he is a kind man but he is so very quick with anger and criticism. He is so generous with his negative things and so stingy with his kind words and support. His anger is crazy. We can be sitting in bed and he can be happy and positive and then one little thing can make him turn his back and get angry and say horrible things.
When I got my hair cut the other day like he always wanted instead of commenting on my new look which I did for him he just looked at me and said I should have got it shorter. I was upset and when I tried to tell him he said I was being silly.
This morning my beginning of Ramadhan was ruined. I sat there crying and only managed to eat a few bites of food and glass of water. When I tell him kindness and charity should begin at home and I would be a better woman if I was not so stressed out all the time then he gets upset at that and thinks I am preaching. Sometimes he gets so angry he spits on me or pushes me but he does not hit me.
I have nowhere to turn and do not know what to do. I hope the stress is what is making him so cruel. I know there is not another woman and I know he is also stressed not just with finance but also that he has a low class job even though he is highly educated and his job just went part time so money problems. Also he is stressed because of his family in his country and he wants to take me there for a wedding but he is ashamed of me how I look right now.
With all this he always says everything is my fault. He can say so horrible things to me but never thinks to apologize. I always make him act that way even if it was a simple question.
Please give me some advice on how to deal with this. I already work on losing weight as fast as possible and getting a job. I know things will be better when these things show some results but I wish he could understand how awful he is being because right now he thinks he is innocent and anything I say just makes him more mad.

I think you're being a little too sensitive about things and you're assuming a lot as well. Most guys don't understand how to notice a new haircut and say nice things about it. He is doing a lot of things men do. (not saying they are good, but that's the way a lot of men are, insensitive. they don't know how to nurture a female. )You need to work on the communication in your marriage. Try getting those books like "men are from mars, women are from venus". They might help you understand each other better. Also I doubt anything has to do with your weight or your job. It's probably him and his insecurities and defensiveness and the amount of stress he is under that is making him lash out on you.

I'm not one to mince words when needed. This is not some "oh it's a male thing to not notice" blah blah; you are being too sensitive" blah blah. That stuff is dribble that is spewed to brainwash women into believing that everything is their own fault and that makes my blood boil.
Your husband's verbal attacks and physical force constitute domestic violence - plain and simple. He wants to control you because he believes he is unable to control other aspects of his life including his own behavior. I don't care how much "stress" he claims or appears to be under; there is never never ever an excuse for putting hands on a person nor being verbally nasty.
If he is unhappy in his job then he needs to look for another and not force you to look for a job and get bent out of shape that you haven't gotten one yet. He married you although you had a few extra pounds but now insists that you lose weight and that you aren't losing it fast enough. He married you with one hair length and now wants you to cut it to a short length of his choosing. That is nothing more than a clear attempt to force you to be what he wants; to submit to his will and whim; to fit some "ideal" that he has. Well if you weren't "right" in his mind then the marriage shouldn't have happened.
You should not be subjected to such behavior nor do you need to be. While some will no doubt criticize my next statement.... but the next time he pushes you then call the authorities or walk out. The situation will not get better without action on your part and a serious wake up call on his part. It is not your responsibility to help him nor to pacify him nor to cater to him nor to fix him and certainly not to be abused. You need to make a choice for yourself. He needs to straighten up and fly right or fly solo.

I wanna cheer at the above post.
Looking at your post this is what I see.
Out of your marriage, you find a job, you change your appearance and lose weight, you apparently are also expected to read his mind.
Soooo, once the above is accomplished, your husband gets a stunning wife with a high earning salary, who I assume will be bringing in the bulk of the money and also I'm assuming continuing to do the domestic chores.
What exactly will you husband be contributing to this marriage, apart from ripping apart your self esteem, and working up towards smacking you?
Btw spitting and pushing are not small acts one should overlook as oooh all men do them.
I've grown up watching my parents interact and from my take on an Islamic marriage, the husband does not spit and shove his wife around, he does not belittle her and criticise her appearance moreso if she is trying to change her appearance to please her husband anyway.
Also very curious, do you wish to work, what arrangement will you come to when you have children, is your husband aware one puts on weight when one has children and it doesnt always fall off the second baby is born?
What do you get out of this marriage, what is your husband doing to make this marriage a pleasant one, what will he be changing about himself?
I'm divorced now, ex always always told me how very utterly ugly I was, I was too skinny appparently, I was exactly the same weight throughout my marriage as I was when he first saw me.
And when My servants question thee concerning Me, then surely I am nigh. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he crieth unto Me. So let them hear My call and let them trust in Me, in order that they may be led aright. Surah 2 Verse 186

As-Salaamu` alaykum,
Dear Sister,
Well, I've couple of questions, if you don't mind me asking:
Where do you live and where does your family live.
"...Surely my prayer and my sacrifice, my life and my death are for Allah, the Lord of the Worlds..." (Qur'an, 6;162)

She gets spit on and pushed and she is being too sensitive? are you serious?
I don't like to say this, but if possible, please avoid having kids till he straightens up. Suggest counseling to him, or at least talk to someone you both trust.
Do you have any family or friends that can help?

Asalam Alaikum,
I agree that people should not treat each other in these manners.. you are not a door, a rock, or a chair. You are a human bring. We are face stress.. and still we have held to standards. If were the occasional "blustery" words.. fine, but putting you down is not only unislamic it it rather unproductive. If someone ever spit on me I'd be out te door quite fast.. how childish! Where do people get these manners??
My father never, ever berated my in this manner. Where is basic respect and decency.
I agree you need to stand up for yourself. Easier said then done. But really.. you can try and get someone to speak to him.. that is another option.
Sometimes people need space. He needs to realize that you are trying to be a good wife. And he needs to treat you with care and dignity.
Clearly he did not have good behavior modification as a child.
You have my Duas..

No One Sees God -
Hardcover ISBN:
978-0385526104 -
Hardcover Dimensions:
5.7'' x 9'' - 336 Hardcover pages
Surveying the contemporary religious landscape, the division between atheist and believer seems stark. However, having long struggled to understand the purpose of life and the meaning of suffering, Michael Novak finds the reality of spiritual life far different from the rhetorical war presented by bestselling atheists and the defenders of the faith who oppose them.
In No One Sees God, Novak brilliantly recasts the tired debate pitting faith against reason. Both the atheist and the believer experience the same "dark night" in which God's presence seems absent, he argues, and the conflict between faith and doubt stems not from objective differences, but from divergent attitudes toward the unknown. Drawing from his lifelong passion for philosophy and his personal struggles with belief, he shows that, far from being irrational, the spiritual perspective actually provides the most satisfying answers to the eternal questions of meaning. Faith is a challenge at times, but it nonetheless offers the only fully coherent response to the human experience.
Ultimately, No One Sees God offers believers and unbelievers the opportunity to find common ground by acknowledging the complicated reality of the human struggle with doubt. Novak provides a stirring defense of the Christian worldview, while sidestepping the shrill tone that so often characterizes the discussion of faith, and given the challenges faced in the present age, all who value liberty will find hope in his new way of conversing.
Michael Novak is the George Frederick Jewett Scholar in Religion, Philosophy, and Public Policy at the American Enterprise Institute.
Praise for No One Sees God
"This book is one of the most lyrical and moving reflections on God I have encountered. It is also remarkably generous, both to believers and nonbelievers. Most helpfully it is about how to pray, and how to suffer through the dark night in which answers, and communication, seem absent. A remarkable book by a remarkable man."
"Over the years, Michael Novak has explored with great insight the relationship between religion, society, and the individual. Here he engages with the recent intellectual challenges to religion and provides the perspective of a profound believer who knows what it is like to wrestle with doubt."
"Intensely personal and yet intellectually wide-ranging, this book shows Michael Novak at his best. No One Sees God conveys a depth, erudition, generosity of spirit, and wisdom that simply transcend anything that the new atheists have to offer."
"This new book by Michael Novak is one of the most fascinating reflections on the God known through reason that I have ever encountered, the God whom we trust in shadow and in light, in defeat as well as in victory. Many, many readers will recognize in these pages elements of their own experience."
"Michael Novak's new book counts as both significant and moving. He deploys logic and love, emotion and erudition, to address the most enduring questions of our existence."
--Michael Medved, nationally syndicated talk-radio host, author of Right Turns
"The word 'dialogical' might have been invented to describe Michael Novak. With great patience and lucidity he engages believers, unbelievers, and those who don't know what they believe in a conversation about the things that matter most."
--Fr. Richard John Neuhaus, Editor in Chief of First Things

5 CFR 1651.5 - Spouse of participant.
For purposes of payment under § 1651.2(a)(2) and establishment of beneficiary participant accounts under § 1651.19, the spouse of the participant is the person to whom the participant was married on the date of death. A person is considered to be married even if the parties are separated, unless a court decree of divorce or annulment has been entered. The state law of the participant's domicile will be used to determine whether the participant was married at the time of death.
If a person claims to have a marriage at common law with a deceased participant, the TSP will pay benefits to the putative spouse under § 1651.2(a)(2) in accordance with the marital status shown on the most recent Federal income tax return filed by the participant. Alternatively, the putative spouse may submit a court order or administrative adjudication determining that the common law marriage is valid.

Two-seater Hummel helicopter concept folds-up for easy storage
By Paul Evans
April 30, 2009
May 1, 2009 Looking something like a cross between the SoloTrek XFV (Exo-skeletal Flying Vehicle) backpack helicopter flown in the movie Agent Cody Banks and the Boeing V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor, the Hummel is a two passenger lightweight helicopter concept that features a fully enclosed cabin and tandem ducted rotors which offer the same stability as a conventional helicopter with a tail rotor. The extra twist - when you're done flying it folds into a box shape for easy storage and transportation.
Daniel Kocyba's Hummel design has many potential applications including air taxi, emergency services, coast guard, police, army, and not forgetting personal transport and recreation.
No technical specs are provided for the propulsion system, but given the size and folding ability of this micro helicopter it certainly won't require a heliport, could easily fit into a box trailer and can be flown on a 'sports' pilot license.
Paul Evans
Why is H so popular in my life? I love working with Hydrogen Generators and HHO kits, I want to convert an H2 Hummer, and now this great personal aircraft is introduced - the Hummel. Hmmm- just roll it out of the garage and fly it to the shop roof- I like it!
Facebook User11th December, 2009 @ 07:51 am PST
Did this concept ever get off the ground (so to speak)?
T-Bone2nd September, 2010 @ 10:01 am PDT
Why Hasn't anyone designed a gyroplane using the ducted twin rotors in place of the conventional rotor? The gyros proven design should make it a lot easier to build something that will actually work and not have all the stability and control issues that all these concepts die from?
James Palmer18th February, 2012 @ 02:53 am PST
what are we missing, could imagine owning one of these living in la Calif and just putting your foot down unfolding it seat yourself inside and just take off oh what the envy of all those in there cars just in ahh! Really maybe just a great toy for those with some extra cash what a blast to drive/fly however you look at it. I don't know about the rest of you but I would love to take a test run in it.what do you think.

- China and Mercosur agree to strengthen economic cooperation
- Cientos de paraguayos y brasileños cerraron el INTERNACIONAL MERCOSUR Puente de la Amistad
- Hundreds Paraguayans and Brazilians closed the INTERNATIONAL MERCOSUR Friendship Bridge
- Taiwan-Paraguay ties not affected by removal of Pres. Lugo
China is interested in an FTA with Mercosur
The Chinese premier, Wen Jiabao, proposed to initiate preliminary studies for a free trade agreement between his country and Mercosur, a South American subregional bloc of the Southern Cone.
Wen's announcement came as part of a meeting held in Buenos Aires with Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez, and attended by teleconference, the presidents of Uruguay, Jose Mujica, and Brazil, Dilma Rousseff.
Wen is on a tour of several countries in the region.
China is already a major trading partners of Mercosur, comprising Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay.
This latter, however, did not participate in the meeting.
Not issued an official reason for the absence of Paraguay, a country that was suspended for the next Mercosur summit for what was described as "democratic order" in that country.

Bipartisan framework for comprehensive Immigration Reform
INTRODUCTION We recognize that our immigration system is broken. And while border security has improved significantly over the last two Administrations, we still don't have a functioning immigration system.

Our legislation acknowledges these realities by finally committing the resources needed to secure the border, modernize and streamline our current legal immigration system, while creating a tough but fair legalization program for individuals who are currently here. We will ens....

While for years it has been a hotbed of conceptual kookiness—let's take a moment to consider such offerings as Courrèges-like flying helmets, cycling shorts encrusted in oversize paillettes, and coats that collided precious furs and poppy plastics with a big old bang—it's easy to forget that Marni is also a purveyor of the gorgeously off-kilter ladylike look. It's where, with a few deft recalibrations, the elegant and grown-up can suddenly be transformed into elegant and grown-up authored with an original edge. Resort finds Marni's Consuelo Castiglioni in that frame of mind, though her thoughts have a geographical specificity of sorts, namely a mythic American West dissonance.
At which point enters—on the back of a horse, perhaps—all manner of chic, fun clothes suffused with graphic detailing and gorgeous colorations (dusky pinks and sunbaked terra-cottas, delicate grays and earthy rusts): a cotton shirtdress with color blocking that mimics the paneling on a cowboy shirt; a similarly way-out-West piping applied to one of the label's trademark fastener-free, somewhat early-sixties coats; and oversize jackets—a fresh, newer proportion from Castiglioni—whose collars are edged with studding.
But the strength of this collection was in the way Castiglioni showed how she can make the relatively simple quite ravishing. Her geometric prints, used for crisp cotton shirts and gazar skirts cut with swinging fullness that also have a certain amount of restraint and control, were classic Marni—which is to say, wearable and timeless and intelligent. Great, too, were the accessories, with the standouts being the leather loafers that rested on substantial yet low (like an inch-high) metallic heels, and low-key, unobtrusive (this is a huge compliment, BTW) purses in buttery tan and rich chocolate saddle leather—totally plain, save for a few rows of studs.

;] ijeprge A iff el Am^s, son of * igt^pben and Eligi Ames, was [lb*!|ft rmar $lrnore, 0., Sept. 18, I Igfti and departed this lite Oct. ^14,190^*9^23 years and 28 days, i^The deceased had been a sufferer I for several years, during which time he made a heroic struggle against disease. Through all this he was sustained by a trustful faith in God and by an iron will which was his by nature. When it became necessary for the phy¬ sical powers to surrender to the torch of death, his faith appeared as an anchor to the sole, both sure and steadfast, and ^entering into that within the veil. Alfred possessed in a marked degree those elements that con¬ stitute true manhood. Honesty, integrity and virtue were his in such measure ^as to win for him a host of friends. In the home he was ever obedient, faithful and true. Two years ago he was converted in a meeting heldin the Methodist church at Worstville and united with the church at that time, and since then had been a faithful servant iii the Master's vineyard. He was baptized by the Rev. J. H. Eodgers, Aug. 14, 1903. His life and death together form a fitting exponent of the Christian relig¬ ion. It guided him in life and sustained him in death. Such resignations to the Lord* s will, such willingness to follow where He leads, are rarely seen, even in those far advanced in life. He built his life upon the eternal Rock of Ages, so that death to him, became the gate¬ way into everlasting life and pe£ee. The funeral services were held in the Methodist church at Worst¬ ville, Saturday, Oct. 17. Rev. E. S. Weaver of Continental former pastor of the deceased preached the sermon, he was as¬ sisted in the services by Rev. W. H% hoy of Latty. The re- wains were laid to rest in the Wj^ste cemetery "Precious in the sight of the Lord is thq death of His Saints."

History of the Board of Trade
The Minneapolis Board of Trade was organized in 1855 "to facilitate and promote the commercial, mercantile and manufacturing interests of the city of Minneapolis." One of the board's first successes was backing navigational improvements to the Upper Mississippi River. In 1881, the Board refused to relinquish the name to an organization then forming a grain exchange, which then became the Chamber of Commerce. After futile attempts to raise money by expanding membership in 1899 and 1900, the Board of Trade officially dissolved in February 1901 and merged into the Minneapolis Commercial Club.
Book description
One box. The book is a handwritten book of minutes of meetings of the Board of Trade from April 1895 to April 1899. The entries are all written by the Board's Secretary, John T. Hemphill. There are also a few newspaper articles relevant to the Board's business pasted in at various spots.

Study: Exercise, diet help keep older dogs spry
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Exercise and a diet fortified with vitamins, fruits and vegetables helped older dogs learn new tricks and kept them spry in an experiment that scientists said could teach humans a thing or two.
Beagles given either the fortified diet, regular exercise or both did much better in learning new tricks than dogs fed regular chow and allowed to lie around more, the researchers reported on Tuesday. Dogs are similar to humans in their dietary needs and the way they digest food, so the findings have implication for people, said Molly Wagster of the National Institute on Aging, which funded the study. Dogs also can develop memory and learning problems as they age in much the same way people do. "This research brings a note of optimism that there are things that we can do that may significantly improve our cognitive health," Wagster said in a statement. "The combination of an antioxidant diet and lots of cognitive stimulation -- which was almost the equivalent of going to school every day -- really did improve brain function in these animals," added Elizabeth Head of the University of California Irvine, who worked on the study. "We're excited about these findings because the interventions themselves are relatively simple and might be easily translated into clinical practice for people." For the study, Head, William Milgram of the University of Toronto in Canada and colleagues studied 48 older beagles over two years. Writing in the journal Neurobiology of Aging, they said they divided the dogs into four groups that got either standard care; a diet supplemented with tomatoes, carrot granules, citrus pulp, spinach flakes and supplements; standard care plus extra exercise and play; or the special diet and the special play and exercise regime. A second set of 17 dogs aged 1 to 3 got either a standard or fortified diet. Tests included having to find a hidden treat. The older dogs clearly benefited from the special diet and the special exercise program, the researchers said. All 12 of the older beagles that got a supplemented diet and exercise could solve a difficult problem, compared to eight of 10 dogs that got the enriched diet alone and two of eight dogs that got no special treatment. Last week the U.S. government issued new guidelines that encouraged Americans to eat more fruits and vegetables and to exercise for at least an hour a day to improve their health. |

With iOS 5, Apple has added the ability to take photographs using the Volume up button. It's a great feature, especially for times when it's awkward or impossible to use the virtual buttons on the iPhone - or iPod touch or iPad - screen. Here's how it works.
Bonus: Since headphones also have a volume up bottom, if you're using them with your iPhone - or iPod touch or iPad - you cam use them as a remote shutter!
So camera enthusiasts, is this a big deal for you or just a nice to have? Will it change the way you take pictures with your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad?
It's a nice addition as it would theoretically reduce some camera shake. Pressing an on-device button always introduces some shake.
Also, it sounds like the camera app is intercepting the volume up signal to activate the "shutter" in the camera if it works with the remote in the earphones. If it is doing something like this, then it should also work with Bluetooth headsets with volume controls. Should it not?
Apple may get rid of this and limit it to only the volume button on the device, who knows.
If they can put the camera at the center of the phone, with really low F-stops (2) for fast low-light shooting, I think that would be the great. The current camera position just isn't great. The lens really needs to be in the center.
Then again, it's a cell phone.
This will be great for taking clean shots. A good photographer always uses a remote with a tripod —whether near or far — to avoid moving the camera.
On www.mygreatiphone.com, this guy has been posting a video everyday about hidden features on iOS 5, and the video he posted today was about this. The others are pretty interesting too. http://www.mygreatiphone.com/video/
Would this work with BT headsets? That would be awesome.
Definitely a good thing for any non-daylight pictures!
Now the question is, "will I be too lazy to bother?!"
i've been dreaming about being able to use remote controller with the iphone - now this is more or less possible! awesome! ,)
This is such a ridiculous situation haha. I have an iPhone and I doubt I've ever been in the middle of taking a picture and decided I had to turn the volume up right then. Even if it did come up, just wait until you're done taking the picture and then change the volume or like you said, double tap home and swipe right. Using the volume up button makes it so much easier to take a picture without moving the phone, especially because I would always take my eyes off the subject to see where the on-screen shutter button was.
It's actually a nice and helpful piece of information. I'm happy that you just shared this helpful info with us. Please keep us up to date like this. Thanks for sharing.

In 1988, potter Michael Smith invited a small group of peers to his home to share ideas and further explore the art of clay manipulation. After just a few meetings, the group quickly grew to include around 70 craftspeople, who started meeting at the Kansas City Art Institute instead of inside Smith's giant conch shell. These regular get-togethers laid the groundwork for the initial incarnation of KC Clay Guild, a place where artists could socialize, buy materials in bulk, and learn from one another.
Now, the volunteer-run co-op is even larger. It occupies its own facility and has vastly expanded the number of services it provides. Amidst the changes, KC Clay Guild has remained true to its initial goals, guided by a mission statement to support the clay community. Artists of all skill levels enroll in classes that cover an array of techniques, such as wheel throwing, hand building, and slip casting. Members take part in regular meetings, open-studio time, and monthly shows, and visiting artists stop by to lead workshops and repair their ceramic automobiles. The guild even offers a scholarship to high-school seniors and hosts birthday parties, team-building exercises, and family-fun nights for casual potters.
Ranchview Floral has been in business since 1947, assembling flower arrangements that add a touch of beauty to decades of celebrations and expressions of sympathy. The Ranchview team expertly combines roses, tulips, daisies, and orchids into creations bursting with color, from bouquets to centerpieces and corsages. Each one makes a classic and fragrant gift for special occasions or a fancy meal for a pet goat.
At more than 1,000 Mattress Firm locations around the country, shoppers sink into plush mattresses, recline on firm beds, and belly-flop onto pillow tops. Knowledgeable staffers can help customers create an ideal bedtime environment by dispensing advice based on sleep preferences and illuminating the difference between the many kinds of mattresses. And to the delight of their customers, much of Mattress Firm's bedding wears the label of a premium brand, such as Sealy, Serta, Simmons Beautyrest, or Stearns & Foster.
When Joe Zwillenberg bought Westport Flea Market Bar & Grill, he preserved "an irreplaceable piece of the city's character," according to the Pitch, which dubbed him Kansas City's Best Local Hero in 2006. Thanks to Joe, the close to 30-year-old establishment—which had been marked for takeover by a national chain—is still churning out its famous 10-ounce burgers today. Made with ground Prime cuts of Kansas City strip steak and fillet from McGonigle's Market, the hearty handhelds earned CityVoter's Best Burger awards in 2008 and 2009 and were featured on Food Network's Meat & Potatoes in 2010. Diners can customize each time-honored patty with onions, pickles, or shredded historical documents from the condiments table.
The eatery—which is nestled within a bustling flea market—also offers 44 beers on tap, live music, and a game room with pool tables, foosball, and an arcade. It is also the home of the Tiger Club of Kansas City's weekly luncheons, which boast high-profile speakers from the world of sports.
A rainbow of men's and women's apparel and accessories populates the forest of racks inside Arizona Trading Company, where staffers buy, sell, and trade a thoughtfully curated, ever-revolving stash of gently used threads. They take in modern and vintage attire alike, scrutinizing each item to ensure that no evidence remains of the superhero who previously owned it. Handbags, shoes, and Pendleton flannels neighbor household gear, jackets, and seasonal inventory throughout the fully stocked shop. A smattering of brand-new accouterments, such as sunglasses and jewelry, interrupts the vast spread of lightly worn attire.
At eight showrooms across the Kansas City area, SleepOne Mattress Superstore's aptly named sleep advisors recommend mattresses that will accommodate budgets and physical conditions such as stiffness and pain. After scouring the showroom's floor, the staff might suggest a Sterns and Foster mattress made with materials such as silk and cashmere. They also offer delivery and removal of the old mattresses.
SleepOne Mattress Superstore also fights nightmares with several guarantees. For example, their staff will refund 110% of the difference in price if customers find the same mattress sold for less. They also exchange mattresses for up to a year (only charging a redelivery fee) and offer a rehabilitation program for reformed boogeymen.

Lesson Learned: Have Current Procedures Documented
Originally published: 05.01.12 by Terry Tanker
Have you heard the one about the administrative assistant who worked for the HVACR company for 30 years and then retired? She had a modest salary but was well respected, especially by the owner of the company, who always joked that he couldn't do anything
without her. Boy was he right.
The morning after her retirement party, the boss sat down to get his email and was greeted with a blank screen with one blank line. He didn't know what to do. So, as he had done so often in the past, he called his now-retired assistant.
She said, "I will come in and help you, but it's going to cost you $50,000." He was shocked, but he agreed to pay her because he knew he had proposals for 10 times that amount that he had to respond to. She came in, sat down, and typed his dog's name into the blank line. The boss' inbox instantly opened and updated. Outraged, he yelled, "I agreed to pay you $50,000 to type my dog's name!" To which she responded, "No. You paid me $50,000 to type your password, which you've never asked me for before."
I'm sure most, if not all, of you can relate to this story because someone fills the role of "most valuable employee" (MVE) within your company. I've worked at only two types of companies: very large, more than 1,200 employees; and very small, less than 15. And in both instances, it was easy to pick out the MVEs.
Large companies have advantages for obvious reasons, and two of the major ones are that they have singularly dedicated teams of people working in concert to accomplish corporate goals; and, they have some redundancy built in to back those teams up. Smaller companies have teams, but they are different, and frequently one person performs many duties within the team with no backup. To help illustrate my point: In the large company I worked for, we had a CFO and about 40 accountants, while at HVACR Business, we have one bookkeeper.
It's widely acknowledged in our company that Barb Kerr, Executive Assistant (official title), bookkeeper, sales support administrator, director of operations, proof reader, travel agent, etc., etc., is our MVE. This became painfully obvious two months ago. Barb called me late one Sunday afternoon at home, which was — unusual. My immediate thought was, Now you've done it. You've pushed her too far, and she's quitting. I quickly realized it had to be something else because I haven't yet purchased that BMW I promised her when we started this magazine six years ago. And then I realized the lotto drawing the evening before was over $600 million. Could she have won?
Neither. She began to tell me that while standing in her driveway making plans for a cookout, a neighbor's 18-monthold, 150-pound Rottweiler plowed into her, breaking her knee. She would be out a week until the swelling went down and doctors could decide whether a leg cast would be sufficient, or if surgery would be needed to repair the damage.
I didn't panic. After all, I knew we had a policies-andprocedures manual that outlines all of the key activities associated with our operation. (In 2007, I heard a speech by Frank Abignale, the famous thief-turned-security-consultant of Catch Me If You Can fame. He subsequently wrote some articles for us, and I became somewhat obsessive about documenting all of the key aspects of our business operation.)
As I pulled out the P&P manual, I turned to the banking section because Mondays are typically our biggest banking day. Unfortunately the last update in the banking section was October 2009. Since then, we'd changed banks to take advantage of some of the latest automation available to small businesses. Hum…. looks like I dropped the ball here, I thought.
Next, I turned to the "Production Section," which outlines all of the steps that need to be taken after Art Director Megan LaSalla, and Editor Tonya Vinas finalize the issue each month — meaning all of the magazine pages are in .pdf file format and ready to go to the printer.
However, there are literally a dozen steps before, during, and after we go on press; and then there is the bindery, and the United States Postal Service. The last update — July 2011. Oh, I hope nothing has changed . . .
As many of you know, we blast out our eNewsletter the last Tuesday of each month. I turned to the eMedia section of the manual. The last update was in January of 2012. We were in good shape. I knew the following day I could simply follow the instructions to ensure "Ahead of the Curve" would be emailed.
Our P&P manual has dozens of sections. It was designed so that key aspects of every employee's job responsibilities would be outlined so that in the event of a disaster, departure, vacation, or illness — someone could simply read the manual, follow directions, and fill the hole until a permanent solution is implemented.
What I've learned through Barb's unfortunate mishap is that good intentions don't count for much — attention to detail does. The P&P manual was my idea, and it is my responsibility to update it to ensure our company doesn't experience what could have been some very stressful and unproductive weeks before Barb returned. Moving forward, I've allotted myself two months to make sure the manual has all of the proper updates. Largely this will be accomplished with the help of our entire staff during our weekly production meetings.
If it has been more than six months since you've updated your P&P manual — or if you don't have one — don't wait for an unexpected event to nudge you into taking action. Learn from my lesson, so you don't find yourself stuck when your MVE is not available.

Aussie duo take on World Superbikes
TWO AUSTRALIAN motorcycle race aces are taking on the best riders in World Superbikes this year with Castrol helping them every step of the way.
Chris Vermeulen and Karl Muggeridge both ride for the Winston Ten Kate team aboard Honda CBR1000RR Fireblades and both are looking for wins in the four-stroke production championship in the second half of the season.
Despite a fine debut for the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade and the Ten Kate team in 2004, where Chris won four races, things have been tougher in 2005.
So far this season, the team has racked up one win at Monza in the hands of Vermeulen and with team-mate Muggeridge slowly but surely coming to terms with Superbikes after many years of riding 600cc Supersport machines, the team is moving forward. Vermeulen has notched up eight podium finishes and after a more points at Brands Hatch in August, the young Aussie is second overall in the championship, albeit 110 points down on Suzuki's Troy Corser.
Karl is confident, however, that his team will get there: "Suzuki came to their first test session with factory bikes ready to go. We didn't, we had a bike, which was much closer to a stock road bike. We also had some problems in testing thanks to bad weather. We're now testing some parts during the practice for races and we're getting there bit by bit."
A test of new Pirelli tyres and suspension parts at a two-day test at Magny-Cours in June also brought a big step forward. Previously, drive out of the corners had been an issue with the Ten Kate Fireblades, but the test saw new rear suspension parts, such as rear swing-arms and suspension linkages, help to improve the speed at which the CBR1000RRs deliver power to the rear wheel.
Vermeulen: "I've got a great team around me"
Vermeulen feels sure the team is on the right track: "After our test at Magny-Cours, we're in a better position to grab points. For sure, Suzuki has the advantage for now but I've got a great team around me and a great bike underneath me. If Troy [Corser] ends up winning, it won't be for any lack of commitment from us."
Despite both riders coming from Australia and securing a World Supersport Championship each - Chris in 2003 and Karl in 2004 - they've both followed slightly different paths to be in the World Superbike class with the Castrol-backed Ten Kate squad.
Chris, 23, from Brisbane, started riding at four years of age, eventually competing in grasstrack events from the ages of 11-15 before finally being allowed to compete in road-racing at 16. He rose through the ranks quickly, catching the eye of ex-500cc World Champion Barry Sheene and moving to the UK to ride in the 600cc Supersports class. Eventually he was signed up by Gerrit ten Kate for his Dutch team and they dominated the 2003 World Supersports Championship, sealing the title with a round to spare.
With Honda's new CBR1000RR eligible for WSBK competition, a step up to the World Superbike championship with the same team was a natural move for 2004. Vermeulen grew into his development role with the new Fireblade in his and the bike's debut Superbike year, notching up four wins on his way to fourth overall.
The result is that Chris already has a year under his belt riding in the World Superbike class despite being eight years younger than Karl. Muggeridge rode schoolboy motocross and grasstrack, winning around 200 trophies between the ages of 11-15, before he moved to supercross. Eventually at the age of 20 he went road-racing as it fitted in better with his then full-time job of a fully-qualified watchmaker! Like Chris he progressed quickly through the ranks, also moving to Europe to race in the Supersport 600 class. Karl, 31, from Tweeds Head in New South Wales won his World Supersport title last year in fine style, winning seven races in a dominant display, which earned him a place alongside his younger countryman in the World Superbike class this season.
Both are now looking forward to the remaining races of the World Superbike season aiming to develop the Castrol lubricated Winston Ten Kate Fireblades into world beaters.

Mac Mail Issue
I am new to Mac and love it. However, I'm having a minor issue with Mac Mail on my imac. I have a POP3 account and it's set up to download manually. When I go into my mail, i click the envelope icon and the mail downloads. The left hand panel will say, "7 of 7 messages..." or something to that effect. 2 or 3 messages will download and the rest won't until I click the envelope icon again. This doesn't happen on my Windows machines or my iPad, so it must have something to do with Mac Mail.
Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks! |

Actually, I played around with some settings and it seems to have resolved itself. The mail is with GoDaddy - not sure why not imap - I've had the email account for over 10 years - always been a pop3 account.
I'm not sure which setting resolved the problem. Thanks for the reply though. |

Add a CommentThis book is one of Roald Dahl's finest. It is a delightful masterpiece and a book to read again. "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is a well-loved children's book, and for good reason. It is a classic among kids's books, and I highly recommend it!
My 4yo son and 6yo daughter couldn't wait to go to bed so that we could read more Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Made bedtime fast, easy and fun. GREAT story! (Now to TRY and find another just as good!)
This book was so interesting and exciting. I often think to myself how one can conjure up such a plot. Well-written and a great read for all ages.
My favourite part of the story was when Mr. Willy Wonka gives Charlie the chocolate factory. My favourite character is Grandpa Joe because he seems nice. The book is about a boy who explores a chocolate factory.

Add a SummaryThe story centers around an average and poor boy named Charlie Bucket, who lives in extreme poverty with his extended family, and his adventures inside the chocolate factory of Willy Wonka. Years prior to the beginning of the story, Willy Wonka opened the largest chocolate factory in the world, but spies stole his recipes, so he eventually closed the factory to the public. Then the factory began to run again while still closed to the public with the aid of 'mystery workers' and it had been running that way for the past ten years. Then one day Mr. Wonka decided to allow five children to visit the factory. Each child will win a lifetime supply of chocolate after the factory tour. The children have to find one of the five golden tickets hidden inside the wrapping paper of random Wonka bars. The hunt for the tickets turns into a world-wide mania, with each ticket find a media sensation and its finder an instant celebrity. Augustus Gloop (a boy who eats constantly), Veruca Salt (a girl who is spoiled), Violet Beauregarde (a girl who chews gum all day), Mike Teavee (a boy who is addicted to television), and Charlie Bucket win the tickets and visit the factory.

"Everything in this room is eatable. Even I'm eatable! But that is called cannibalism, my dear children, and which is frowned upon in most society."
"Mr Willy Wonka can make marshmallows that taste of violets, and rich caramels that change colour every ten seconds as you suck them, and little feathery sweets that melt away deliciously the moment you put them between your lips. He can make chewing-gum that never loses its taste, and sugar balloons that you can blow up to enormous sizes before you pop them with a pin and gobble them up. And, by a most secret method, he can make lovely blue birds' eggs with black spots on them, and when you put one of these in your mouth, it gradually gets smaller and smaller until suddenly there is nothing left except a tiny little DARKRED sugary baby bird sitting on the tip of your tongue."
"But there was one other thing that the grown-ups also knew, and it was this: that however small the chance might be of striking lucky, the chance is there. The chance had to be there."
"Of course they're real people. They're Oompa-Loompas...Imported direct from Loompaland...And oh what a terrible country it is! Nothing but thick jungles infested by the most dangerous beasts in the world - hornswogglers and snozzwangers and those terrible wicked whangdoodles. A whangdoodle would eat ten Oompa-Loompas for breakfast and come galloping back for a second helping."
"Whipped cream isn't whipped cream at all if it hasnt been whipped with whips, just like poached eggs isn't poached eggs unless it's been stolen in the dead of the night."
