After 6+ years of blogging on the Blogger platform, I have finally been dragged kicking and screaming over to Wordpress and my own domain. All of my blogposts dating back to November 2005 have found a new home on my personal website. The blog is here.
Thanks for all your visits to the Oasis and the conversations you have started here; if you are subscribed, I am reliably informed that re-subscribing on Wordpress is a doddle and I look forward to continuing our conversations on the swish new site. (It really is swish - Sabrina Dent is a goddess!)

Body Language Article - Giving the game away (Irish Independent)
John Meagher says there is more to political snap-shots than first meets the eye.
On the face of it, it's a moment of levity amid the sobering meetings on the future of the euro. French President Nicolas Sarkozy playfully ruffles the back of Enda Kenny's hair. The Taoiseach is photographed sporting a schoolboy grin. For all the world, it could be two old friends sharing a joke.
But Rowan Manahan, a Dublin-based body language expert and corporate speechwriter, sees it differently. "It's essentially the dominant primate letting the subordinate primate know who's in charge."
"Sarkozy may well like Enda on a personal level, but it is a condescending gesture that says, 'be a good boy now, Irishman, and do what you're told'. I couldn't imagine the roles being reversed in that photo. It's almost as if Enda knows his place. It's no wonder that the Opposition got mileage out of it," he says.
Gerry Adams took particular interest in the snap, which was splashed on the front page of the Irish Independent -- and other newspapers -- on Tuesday. "It is inappropriate for a Taoiseach to act like an eejit when he meets the French president," he said.
His comments led to an angry exchange in the Dáil, with Kenny taunting Adams about being "buddy-buddy with some very shadowy creatures over the past 30 years".
Manahan says today's political leaders have to be cognisant of how snapshots of them can be interpreted -- or misinterpreted. "Look at the photo of Mitt Romney that did the rounds a few weeks back," he says. "He appeared to be getting a shoe-shine. There he was looking smug and important, and some guy was bending down to care for his shoes. It wasn't exactly the sort of image a 'man of the people' would want to convey and I can't believe his advisers didn't realise how damaging such a photo would seem."
The photo -- featuring the Republican hopeful seated on the tarmac near his private jet and with a cowering figure attending to his footwear -- caused outrage in the US. By the time it was clarified that Romney was, in fact, having his shoes scanned by an airport security official, the damage had already been done.

Saying yes without being a yes-man
When people think of yes men, they tend to think of spineless lackeys who bow, scrape and bob their heads at anything their boss says. I came across a particularly chilling quote from Hermann Goering at the Nuremberg trials:
"... alles was er um ihn hatte, waren ja Männer, alle keine Männer waren sechs Fuß darunter." (Translation - all he [Hitler] had around him were yes-men, all the no-men were six feet under.)
Much of the power of Oliver Hirschbiegel's extraordinary Downfall is how he portrays the helplessness of those around Hitler in the final days and hours - they simply cannot tell him the truth, nor can they find it in themselves to disagree with him. So what do you do when your hideous little troll of a VP demands that you drop everything and jump in on some project that he only half-understands?
A straight "No" robs you of influence and will quickly earn you a negative reputation among your colleagues. I like Shawn Wood's version of saying some version of "Yes, but ..."
- Yes. I can do this in your timeframe and in your budget. (A full yes)
- Yes. I can do this in your budget but I am going to have to change the timeframe. (Yes, but)
- Yes. I can do this, but not in your timeframe or your budget. Let's negotiate. (Yes, but but)
- Yes. I can do this, but I do not think it is the best way. May I make suggestions? (Yes, however)
- Yes, I can have someone else do this for you. (Yes, but not me ...)

Safe to take a vacation?
Image: the wonderful Despair.com
A client phoned me to tell me she was going back out to the market. I was surprised, given that she had been with her new company, in a senior position, for less than four months. [She works in the funds industry and had moved her family to mainland Europe to take up this very senior role]
"I had an interesting conversation today Rowan. I rang my boss in New York to tell him - not ask him, tell him - that I was taking next Friday off, given that the following Monday is a public holiday. Here's how the conversation went ...
Me: Just to let you know, I won't be here on Friday, I'm taking the day off to take advantage of the long weekend.
Him: You can't do that.
Me: Why not? the month-end will be locked from the previous weekend; I've bedded down all the staff in the three months I've been here, there won't be any problem ...
Him: Yeah, but you still can't do it. What kind of example would that be for your people?
Me: What do you mean? I've got 23 vacation days in my contract [god bless European contracts!] and I haven't taken any time off with my family since I got here.
Him: Yeah, you may have 23 days in your contract, but just try getting taken seriously in this company if you take 'em.
And then he hung up on me! So, I'm out of here Rowan. Polish up my CV, it's time to find a job with a civilised company."
She embarked on a rapid job-hunt, served her notice a couple of weeks later, and joined a competitor company in the same country.
I am fascinated by the mindset of companies like that. Many years ago, I had a client who used to sit in his office, late into the night, doing crossword puzzles, waiting for his Japanese boss to go home. And his Japanese boss was sitting in his office, doing god knows what, waiting for the shihainin to go home - because the culture in that company was that you couldn't go home until your boss had. This was monumentally stupid, as it was a commodities trading firm, where useful work could only happen in the window when the markets were open. The uber-boss was probably sitting there, balancing his cheque-book, enjoying the rush of exercising his power, making his subordinates spend so many pointless hours sitting at their desks.
Even in a depressed market, how long will you tolerate this kind of neanderthal nonsense before you become a flight risk to your company? Unfortunately what I'm hearing from seminar audiences is that in a depressed market, the depressing answer is that neanderthal behaviour has become the norm and that 'civilised' companies are few and far between ...

This interview is over!
My client – female, mid-40s, stellar CV in PR and Communications – walked in the door for an interview with the CEO of a well-known plc. She was ushered in by the CEO's PA; he was sitting behind his desk, writing on a Post-it note and, without eye contact, waved her to a chair in front of his desk.
As she pulled the chair back from the desk, he stood up and said, "You're way too old for a position like this (Director of Corporate Communications) aren't you?"
My client, paused, placed both of her hands on the back of her chair and levelly said, "Hmmmm, interesting opening gambit. Let's see now – either:
As she pulled the chair back from the desk, he stood up and said, "You're way too old for a position like this (Director of Corporate Communications) aren't you?"
My client, paused, placed both of her hands on the back of her chair and levelly said, "Hmmmm, interesting opening gambit. Let's see now – either:
- You haven't read my CV at all, and my age has come as a surprise to you – in which case, you're simply unprofessional or
- You've read my CV, but couldn't work out my approximate age – in which case you're an idiot or
- You've read my CV, know exactly how old I am, and you're opening the conversation in this aggressive, and illegal, tone just to see how I'll react when I'm supposed to be off-balance – in which case we're back to unprofessional, with a dash of pig-ignorance thrown in for good measure or
- You've read my CV, know exactly how old I am and you're opening the conversation in this aggressive, pig-ignorant tone because that's your normal style – in which case you're an arsehole.
I'm plumping for the last option. Good-bye."
And she turned on her heel and walked out.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, you can tell pretty much everything you need to know about an organisation by the way they hire and the way they fire.

Advice from a commencement address
You could be forgiven for thinking that Conan O'Brien is a pretty unlikely source of advice on career management - until you watch this. If you want to jump to the Big Fat Hairy Point bit, it's about 17 minutes in, but I found the BFHP piece all the more excellent because it's such a sharp contrast from his light opening and body material.
Great stuff, which should be listened to by everyone leaving formal education for the first time and will no doubt be liberally plagiarised by commencement speakers all over the world - in the unlikely event that I am ever asked to address my Alma Mater, I will certainly be lifting entire chunks from this. Enjoy.

Bullying in recessionary times
From the Sunday Times:
TOUGH TIMES ARE A BOON FOR BULLIESThe pressures of the recession are contributing to a rise in workplace harassment - by Gabrielle Monaghan
Nelson Muntz - funny in The Simpsons, awful in real life. |
In the recession-hit workplace - where managers are under pressure to cut costs and staff are stressed out from longer hours and less pay - bullying and harassment are thriving, according to HR advisers and employment lawyers.
"There has always been an undercurrent of bullying in the world of work but it's worse now because of the kind of pressure everyone is under," said Rowan Manahan, the managing director of Fortify Services, an HR consulting firm. "More time is being spent in disciplinary hearings over untenable behaviour. The old-world courtesies previously afforded to employees have gone out the window because employers are in survival mode."
"Some employers feel that there are too many chiefs and not enough Indians, and make life difficult for older, expensive employees," added Manahan. "When, as an investigator [for bullying cases], you question their behaviour; many are genuinely mystified. But their victims suffer issues such as insomnia and anxiety states."
He describes the workplace as a "turf war" and says that some employees are making a "land grab" for colleagues' territories because they see their own job under threat. "If you are not politically savvy and don't understand what's really going on, it can come as a horrendous shock to you."
While the stereotypical bully may be an Alpha-male boss screaming abuse at minions cowering in the stationery cupboard, the reality is far less dramatic. "It tends to be more insidious than that. The kinds of people who habitually bully do not necessarily throw crockery at you in front of 29 other staff."
By 2009, almost half of the Irish workforce had experienced bullying, with seven in 10 employees too frightened to report it ...
Bullying and harassment are particularly acute in workplaces accustomed to rigid hierarchies, such as schools, universities and the public services, reveal Manahan and Scott-Lennon.
With a dearth of job vacancies in the recession, workers who feel they are being bullied are more likely to put up with it, out of concern the alternatives are unemployment or a drawn-out court case that will affect their income or future career. Until Irish courts award damages similar to those in the US - where victims of bullying have received millions in compensation, in part because of the loss of future employment prospects - victims here are more likely to keep schtum.
"I have testified in the High Court in these cases, and there is this fear factor that, even if you win the case, you'll 'never work in this town again'. It will be a Pyrrhic victory, because it doesn't do your career any good," Manahan said. [Indeed, for every case that I have seen proceed down the legal route, there are 15-20 who decide to stay schtum, put up with it, or vote with their feet.]
Even if a company does not have a policy that documents what amounts to inappropriate behaviour [and let's not forget that to do this is now illegal in Ireland!], Manahan recommends the following litmus test for managers or employees considering whether their comment or actions are suitable: would you be happy for your mother to know about it?

Mastery. Once a nerd ...
At a recent job-hunting seminar, I asked the audience if they had ever mastered anything. 100 people in the room. No raised hands.
"Nothing? No-one?" I asked. I then went on to admit that, gigantic nerd as I am, I had mastered the Rubik Cube in the early 1980s and that back then, I could solve it in an average time of 30 seconds.*
I talked briefly about other things I had obsessed about - Frisbeeing and martial arts - and how much work it had taken to get really skilled at these various activities. I then went back to the audience and started asking questions:
"How many people here have ever achieved Grade 8 in a musical instrument?""How many people here have ever represented their school? Their college? Their county? Their country?""Has anyone here ever won a medal at a major event?""Had anything published?""Graduated cum laude?" and so on ...
With each of these questions, various hands were raised as people started to realise the things they had achieved - albeit in activities that did not relate to their job-hunt. The group then went on to talk about how much work had been involved in mastering their chosen activities and, by extension, how much work was needed to stand out from the crowd in a job hunt.
We've talked about this before here at the Oasis - being really good at your chosen profession is not enough, particularly in an arid market. Career management and job-hunting require skills that are probably completely different to the skills that make you good at what you do. So think back - think of something you have mastered in this life and think how much work that took. You might have only won by a nose or gained first place in the examination by half a percent. [I was beaten in the national Rubik's Cube championships in Ireland in 1981 by 0.2 of a second - bitter ashes]
What does it take to stand out in your field? How much of it is reputation? How much is track record? Attitude? Sheer donkey-work? Do you know? Do you know?
Find out what it takes in your arena. Then look at yourself in the cold light of day. How do you measure up? This is foundational stuff - you need to know this. It is only when you have this basic information under your belt that you can start to present yourself to the market in the appropriate way.
* A couple of people came up to me during the breaks in the seminar and expressed doubts as to my ability to solve the Rubik's Cube, then or now. I didn't have a Cube with me - I'll make sure I do in future - so this wee vid I did today will have to do. The fingers aren't quite as quick as they used to be, but I'm still in touch with my inner nerd!

Stay within your time!
Don't go over your time. Ever.
Except, maybe, if they give you a standing ovation and refuse to leave the theatre, chanting "More more more!"
But in a business environment? A meeting? A presentation? No.
If you're the senior person in the room, you are being an asshole and setting a bad example for your troops. If you're not the senior person in the room, you might want to look up the phrase "career-limiting move."
I am constantly aghast at how often business people blithely run 25 or even 50 percent over their allotted time. I worked with an NGO a few years back, selecting the new CEO. For the second interview, we included a 12-minute "my vision" presentation. In the briefing document we stressed that the presentation would be timed and that it was to be "strictly 12 minutes." I told each candidate as they stood up to deliver:
"Imagine you are delivering this presentation on CNN. Unfortunately, the satellite will pass out of coverage in twelve minutes' time, cutting you dead. So you need to be really mindful of the clock. Go."
Only two out of five candidates stuck to their time ...
Execupundit, wise man and all-round seer Michael Wade nails it.
"... and I'd like to thank the Dolly Grip and the guy who brought me those little moist towelettes and my kindergarten teacher and ..." |

Not getting interviews? Is your CV getting read at all?
An enjoyable back and forth on the CV Clinic at Guardian Careers last week. Here is the final comment I made that day, having read oodles of queries from job-seekers who probably had average-or-better CVs, but who weren't getting any interviews.
I find it interesting to note that many of the queries here are about CVs - but only to the extent of getting that CV onto the right person's desk. It seems to me that many of the problems being presented here today centre on 'Route of Entry' rather than CV per se.
I don't find it surprising that a job-hunt that is centred on recruitment agencies, online applications and the occasional directly advertised job is proving frustrating for the hunter. The signal-to-noise ratio for those first two routes is such that no matter how good your CV is, you risk not being noticed.
Don't get lost in the noise - "Your CV? Ah yes, I'm sure I came across it the other day" It is a given that you need a superb CV.
It is a given that you need a CV that is tailored to each potential employer's needs (this might only involve tweaking 5-15% of the content of your CV, but that 5-15% will be the bit that makes one particular employer go "Aha!" when they read it).
It is a given that you need to be able to talk about achievement and contribution rather than just responsibilities and duties.
What is not a given is this - How do you ensure that your beautifully-crafted CV gets read at all?
All of our mothers probably uttered the same piece of advice to us when we were children - "Don't talk to strangers." And yet, the majority of job-hunters spend the majority of their efforts on doing precisely that.
I suspect that we need a Clinic looking at how to reach out in the marketplace to people who are not complete strangers. I work with employers every day and they don't want to waste time, money or management effort talking to time-stealers. And let's face it - the screening and selection process is enormously time-consuming. In a market where time = money, the most useful thing you can do as a job-hunter is to save an employer some time.
So assuming you can get your CV onto the right desk, it needs to reflect that at the very first glance. The employer needs to be thinking, "Yes! This person is right in the frame of what I am looking for to fill this vacancy."
90% of CVs that I read utterly fail to do this.
They are generic, one-size-fits-all, self-centred, documents. Read back through all the advice from the experts here - it all says the same thing. WRITE WITH THE READER IN MIND. 90% of people nod their heads at this advice when I meet them at seminars or correspond with them in a setting like this. And yet 90% of the CVs I read are average-to-poor.
Write with the reader in mind. Really. If you can do that, you will be head and shoulders above the competition.
This combination of right CV on the right desk at the right time is very rare ... Think long and hard about how you are going to achieve that. The full clinic is here with lots of good ideas from the assembled experts, well worth a look.

Is haphazard the only word where ph is not pronounced like /f/?
No. Trying to find other examples is an uphill battle, though. In greater detail: Words that came from Greek and have a 'ph' in a single morpheme tend to use the /f/ pronunciation (except some cases like "Stephen" where it's /v/ — voiced instead of unvoiced). However, words that were formed by combining separate morphemes (such as uphill, loophole, haphazard, etc) have a 'ph' that belongs to two morphemes and does not represent an /f/ sound. |
Yes 'haphazard' is a unique word which has 'ph' and is not pronounced as 'f'(a few people may suggest 'amphitheater' as another word but I can't say for sure). However, there are several compound words where 'ph' doesn't sound like 'f' when pronounced. A few of such compound words are: flophouse, loophole, peephole, uphill, uphold, upholster. |

Diabetic neuropathy is usually diagnosed based on your symptoms, your medical history and a physical exam. During the exam, your doctor is likely to check your muscle strength and tone, tendon reflexes, and sensitivity to touch, temperature and vibration.
Other tests that may be conducted include:
The American Diabetes Association recommends that all people with diabetes have a comprehensive foot exam — either by a doctor or by a foot specialist (podiatrist) — at least once a year. In addition, your feet should be checked for sores, cracked skin, calluses, blisters, and bone and joint abnormalities at every office visit.
If you already have diabetic neuropathy, you'll likely be referred to a podiatrist or other specialist for monitoring and treatment.

Hey there. Last Christmas, I hosted a cookie swap and one of our 'activities' was to make our own Mason Jar snow globes. They are super easy to put together and fun. You can find the mini trees and fake snow at any craft store this time of year. The rest of the details I found around the house/craft bin.
I just bought a set of vintage brandy snifters on Etsy, similar to these for $27.00 (Normally, I would have sent you the link to the actual puchase but it's gone).
These are great. Zingsarah, were there any special instructions to making the Mason Jar snowglobes? I need a new gift idea for this season and I love the ones from Etsy...but I prefer to make myself. I found the German glitter and the snow online already...but was curious if you had any details to add. thanks!
I'm a bit stumped as to why the challenge would stipulate that the Etsy items need to cost less. Why should a genuine vintage, or artisan handmade item be cheaper than a store-bought equivalent?
I understand loving a bargain (I practically live in flea markets and thrift stores), but - particularly with the handmade pieces - it's a little heartbreaking to me that they would be seen as a place to get a deal relative to retail.
Just google, there are many websites that share tutorials:
Good luck!
Thank you! This IS an Etsy artist and a talented one at that. Don't buy from a bad Etsy knock off!
@hippopo - wouldn't you be more stumped as to why anyone would pay $40 for a Mason jar snow globe? I think vintage items can be worthy of a heftier price tag too, but I also think anthropologie happens to be wildly overpriced.
Looks like fun! re: #6, if you live near an ikea, you can just get a few of their sheepskins (which do vary in size; I got one that is huuuge and costs the same as one half its size) for less than the faux fur skirt. I think ikea used sheepskins (unenhanced) as tree skirts in their store displays last year, actually....

Thank you @jaimemariel! I appreciate the kind words about my work!
Thank you @jaimemariel! I appreciate the kind words about my work!
Thank you EvaML! I really appreciate you pointing out my Etsy store!
I shop Etsy and support small businesses and artisans. I have heard to many stories (maybe rumors, maybe not) of big stores scouring etsy and having items reproduced in China and sold at a huge markup or sold for less than the artisan, which undermines the artisan if they are not able to produce en mass which keeps their costs up. Either way, I would rather support them in their individual endeavors. If you want to reproduce something on your own, that is your own prerogative, but not using someone else's idea to make money.

Excellent indoor lens
Nice indoor and lowlight lens. Optics are very good, lens is sharp. Focusing is not silent at all.
By JP on Adorama - Oct 15, 2013
Great lens, but questionably spendy
I bought this lens based on the reviews, and it is no doubt one of the best lenses I've ever owned. Very sharp and has an almost ideal focal length for the NEX. The autofocus is a little slow in lower light, and I'm more dependent on continuous AF than other lenses. While the lens is generally amazing, I think it is only marginally better than other lenses that cost much less, including the Sigma...

Clear , Crisp and alright!
Got this lens last April 2013 and so impressed with the quality of the pictures I had taken. Lens was so quick to focus and shots were so crisp. Low -light shots for indoors is now less of a problem.

Save some money. Buy this over the Zeiss 24/1.8
Previously I was using the Sony Zeiss 24/1.8 as my main lens on the NEX-5N. I liked it a lot but always wondered if it really was worth $1100. About a month ago, I bought a M-Mount Zeiss lens and realized the 24/1.8 didn't seem like it was worth the money anymore. I played around with other M-mount lenses but missed having AF. Eventually I bought the Sony 35mm/1.8. I wasn't expecting much from...

High price, average performance.
This lens is just average. The Sigma 30mm is sharper at f2.8, and at nearly a third the price it's a much better value. If you can do without the extra stop and image stabilization, skip this one until the price comes down (if it ever does). Additionally, I think the color of the lens is ugly. It's somewhat shiny so it doesn't really match the matte finish of any of the black NEX bodies. You end...

HU extends win streak to seven with 65-48 victory over USF
JOLIET, Ill. - The Forester women's basketball team wrapped up 2013 with a 65-48 win over the University of St. Francis (Ill.) Saturday afternoon at the Sullivan Center. It marked HU's second win in as many days and bumped their win total to 11 against just three losses.
It wasn't the prettiest of performances by Coach Culler's squad but a win, their seventh consecutive nonetheless as Huntington's free throw shooting and defense proved to be their saving grace. HU connected on 23 of their 28 attempts for 82.1 percent which made up for their 16 turnovers and lackluster shooting percentage from the field of 39.2 percent (20-for-51).
Defensively, the Foresters limited the Fighting Saints to just 18 field goals on 32.1 percent shooting while forcing 21 turnovers to hold their hosts to under 50 points, only the third time this season Huntington has accomplished such a feat.
Neither team was able to generate much offense through the first 14 minutes as evidenced by the 17-14 score that favored HU at the 6:01 mark. Miranda Palmer finally perked up her team with a driving layup and triple within a two-minute span to spark a 12-5 run to cap off the half and give her team a 29-19 lead heading into break.
After regrouping at halftime, USF came out with new life to quickly whittle the lead to four at 31-27 within the first two and a half minutes of play. But a timeout by Culler to settle down her team seemed to be just what the Foresters needed as they responded with a 14-4 spurt to grow the lead to 14, 45-31, with just over 11 minutes remaining.
It was all HU after that as the march to the free throw line began. Nine of their final 20 points came by way of the charity stripe as they padded the lead to as many as 23 before settling for the 17-point victory.
Just like the day before, it was a contest where Huntington never trailed.
Pazia Speed topped all scorers with 15 points. Amelia Recker tossed in 14 and Palmer came off the bench to add ten. Jaclene Bonnema corralled a team-best ten rebounds and rejected four shots while Courtney Baker handed out a team-high three assists.
Caleigh Hill finished with 12 points to pace the Fighting Saints (3-12). Joining her in double digits was Leah Avery with 11 and Paige Stankus with ten.
The Foresters are off until January 4 when they resume league play by hosting Taylor University at 1:00 p.m.

NAPPANEE — When legendary Wa-Nee teacher and coach Steve Neff announced that the 2013-14 girls basketball season would be his last at NorthWood High School, it was a very bittersweet occasion. The administration and school board were faced with what could have been a very daunting decision. How does one go about selecting a candidate that would be worthy of continuing a victorious momentum spanning nearly four decades?
It seems society takes things way too seriously these days. As is often the case in the newsroom, there is often discussion about what is happening to society, how it was different way back when and what needs to happen to fix attitudes, actions and behaviors. Sometimes the discussion is a little off-the-wall,a little sarcastic and sometimes irreverent. Given the deadline pressures, balancing of multiple stories and covering sometimes highly-charged meetings, this is a way to release stress.
NOBLESVILLE, Ind. – In front of a sold-out crowd at Klipsch Music Center on Saturday, June 15, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers put on a solid show, playing most of the band's iconic songs spanning over three decades. "Nice to be back in Indiana," Petty said before segueing into the band's third number of the night, "Mary Jane's Last Dance," which prominently name drops the Hoosier State in the song. "You don't have to be home early, do ya?" Petty asked the crowd of about 24,500. "Maybe pay the babysitter something extra."

Jasmine Schafer, Vianca Montesdeoca, Marisa Browning and Katelyn Aguayo set a new Bremen High School record during track season in the 4 x 100m relay. They broke the old record set in 2001 by Amy Leeper, Jaclyn Jennings, Molly Hudson and Andrea Matejka. The new record is 51.21.

Bremen High School's 123rd annual Commencement Ceremony was Sunday, June 9, in the school gym. Ninety-eight seniors took part in the ceremony, school officials said, while 100 graduated BHS this year. More photos and coverage are available in this week's Bremen Enquirer.
I hurriedly buckled my son up in his car seat, slid the door of the minivan shut, and reached for my own door. Hoping to be safely in my seat before the oncoming traffic sent me hurling through the air, I was in no mood for a lengthy conversation. I had precariously parked on the side of a narrow and busy street so my family could take part in one of our favorite pastimes browsing through a thrift shop. Having discovered nothing that was suitable for purchasing, I was risking my life to corral my family back into the van.
NAPPANEE — Summer is here, which is nice for outdoor events, but especially for one extravagant event set for later this month – a concert featuring Christian artist TobyMac and 21 other performers. The WFRN Friend Fest of this year is scheduled for Friday, June 21, and Saturday, June 22. Those in Nappanee will be closest to the location, but it is an event that many people have gone to in the past and will again attend this year. Music often comes with the season of summer, and that is why the WFRN Friend Fest will be quite a hit in the Marshall County area.

In a world where television is still tightly controlled by the cable providers, the news that ESPN is considering a future in web-based TV is both positive and exciting. The Disney owned sports network has reportedly been holding 'preliminary talks' to take their entire offering online according to Bloomberg:
Talks with alternative TV providers are exploratory and any new platform would have to offer a package of channels comparable to what other operators provide, according to Chris LaPlaca, a spokesman for ESPN.
Talk of web-based TV immediately points us towards the Apple TV, of course. Currently, Apple TV owners in the U.S. have access to WatchESPN, but that requires authentication of a cable subscription. If this came to pass it would in effect be the cable subscription. ESPN declined to comment which providers they had been in talks with, so we can only hope that Apple was one of them.
There's a whole heap of red tape and financial hurdles to overcome before anything could ever happen, but ESPN is setting a fine example in exploring a future outside the cable world. So, the biggest question is; would you subscribe to a full ESPN offering through your Apple TV if it didn't require a cable subscription anymore?
Source: Bloomberg
No, because MLB Network is the only channel worth paying for. Unfortunately, they have a Sunday night game that is blacked out on MLB.TV.
If the monthly rate was reasonable (not something ridiculous like $40/mo just for ESPN), then absolutely.
Absolutely! I would love for all of the networks to offer a la carte options, for web-based TV. I would get just the channels I care about by purchasing a subscription to the network: Viacom, Disney, ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX. Hell, that's the majority of TV, anyway. Unfortunately, I would still have to pay Comcast to supply me with internet - that's really the ONE tie that I would like to sever!
YES YES YES. I doubt I would specifically subscribe to any other networks, but ESPN would be almost automatic barring an outrageous price point. I would actually buy an Apple TV today if they announced an agreement with ESPN for all their content.
I've read that ESPN gets the most money out of the standard cable channels. I've heard that's about $5 per subscriber. So, yes, I'd pay $5 for ESPN and ESPN2. Maybe offer ESPN U and ESPN News in an $8 package.
The potentially scary part of this is the mention of a provider would have to offer a similar package of channels as what traditional cable tv does. I'm hoping that would mean an Apple TV has options for ESPN, HBO, USA, CNN, HGTV, etc. I would be on board if I could pay $5 per month for ESPN and $5 per month for my regional sports channel. That with Hulu Plus and my antenna gives me a nice TV experience for $18 per month instead of the $50 that Comcast used to charge me. If ESPN means they want people to subscribe to 50 channels for $50 per month, then I'm not interested.

great way to add fiber to your diet! | (Posted on 2/24/12)
Review by CL
As part of a high fiber diet, I used to eat bran cereal every morning with soy milk. Recently I decided to try a gluten free diet and needed to find something to replace the bran cereal. I asked a specialist in a health food store if they had any suggestions and they recommended the Fiber Chews. I am so pleased with the results and am sold on this product. It is especially convenient when I travel. Thank you for a really great product
good product | (Posted on 5/7/10)
Review by Jerred
I have lost 5 pounds on your program. I love the Fiber Chews, when ever you feel like a snack they totally fulfill the craving. I have to be careful of my weight and hope to continue to lose 10 more pounds.
I Love Fiber 35! | (Posted on 5/7/10)
Review by C. McKeon
I have struggled with my weight all of my life. From the time I got married to now I have gained 60 pounds. I have tried every commercially available plan, read every weight loss book, tried every crazy plan out there, even multiple times. Nothing would satisfy me. I stumbled by accidnet on a PBS show that featured Brenda Watson. I absolutely knew that moment this was the plan for me. I searched my health food stores for her product. I bought them, the shakes are delicious and satisfying. My energy is all day and I even sleep better at night. I have lost 10 pounds and will continue to my goal and beyond.

Analog photographs shifted to digital in recent years, but for those who miss the thick, tactile, slightly unreal feeling of a Polaroid, the folks at The Impossible Project are designing a machine that converts digital photos to a physical copy.
A successful Kickstarter campaign was launched recently to capitalize on the growing market for customers tired of staring at their photos on a screen.
Perhaps Polaroid still has a role in the future of photography.

Fresh Wind at Work: OpenOffice 3.1
Cute but astute: the new minor version of OpenOffice can do more than ever, such as cast shadows, position chart axes and provide structured conversations through comments.
After December's feature freeze and the release candidate exactly a month ago, OpenOffice 3.1 now enters onstage in time with its roadmap. One new feature is anti-aliasing to improve clarity of graphics. Another is leaving shadows of objects behind instead of dotted outlines when moving graphics. An improved file locking mechanism prevents overwrites and reports who most recently had the file open. To encourage collaboration, replies to comments now lead to dialogue when editing text.
Also new in OpenOffice Writer is that it targets document writers with more involved ordering formats and automatic indexing. They can now apply an "outline level" to a normal paragraph to designate it as a heading for indexing without modifying the style or paragraph structure.
As far as OpenOffice Calc, it now has help for writing formulas with hot hints showing the formula syntax next to the cell. Charting also went through some changes based on user feedback to OpenOffice's QA public request mechanism. One change based on demand from educational users is a flexible positioning of chart axes and axis labels, functionality that already exists in MS Excel and Gnome's Gnumeric, thus categorizing the request not only under "usability" but also "interoperability." From several respondents: "This is important for the possibility to use OOoCalc in building official exam documents in France... All secondary schools in North of France... have now at least one classroom, with one computer for each pupil. We have installed OpenOffice everywhere... So this requirement [of having axis labels on the edges of the diagram area] is really important for us, and will favorably influence the choice of OpenOffice Calc in most French schools." Thus the enhancement.
For OpenOffice Base users who work with macros, some new changes occurred. As of version 3.1, OpenOffice stores database applications with macros and scripts directly as an .odb file and not in subcomponents such as forms and reports. All macros were moved into the main part of the database. A warning on the Base wiki page is clear about incompatibility issues when opening previous documents with macros or scripts unless migrating the documents, which you can accomplish using a "Migrate Macros" wizard.
OpenOffice 3.1 downloads are available from the project website.

Medical Treatment of Parkinson's DiseaseLevodopa/carbidopa (Sinemet) is the most effective medication in terms of improving the motor symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease. However due to the frequent, and sometimes serious side effects of this drug, neurologists prefer trying other medications first. Unfortunately, the medications available [bromocriptine (Parlodel), pergolide (Permax), pramipexole (Mirapex) and ropinirole (Requip)] are not as good as levodopa/carbidopa in the control of the motor symptoms and also have some side effects that limit their use. Selegiline (Eldepryl, Deprenyl) a medication that does not have any major effects on the motor symptoms, might be the only medication with some protective effect of the nerve cells, but this is not yet well proven. The other medications are only used to treat the symptoms. Other medications that can be useful are amantadine (Symmetrel), ethopropazine (Parsidol), trihexyphenidyl (Artane), benztropine (Cogentin), entacapone (Comtan), and tolcapone (Tasmar).

QUEBEC — Just one day after Finance Minister Nicolas Marceau revealed Quebec is heading for a $2.5-billion deficit and not the balanced budget he promised, an independent committee has proposed substantial pay increases for the elected members of the Quebec National Assembly.
"We were conscious that we should be careful about the expenses of the government at this time," said committee chair Claire L'Heureux-Dubé, a retired Supreme Court of Canada justice. But L'Heureux-Dubé added that "there is no good moment" to announce such a pay increase, while offering the assurance that by reducing other benefits to MNAs, the plan would not cost taxpayers any more.
The 125 MNAs now get a base salary of $88,186 plus $16,027 tax free for expenses. Under a proposal by the committee named by assembly Speaker Jacques Chagnon, MNAs would be paid $136,010 a year, a figure that includes a 15-per-cent salary increase and a taxable $30,500 allowance.
By comparison, a federal MP is paid $160,255, a member of the Alberta legislature $134,000 and an Ontario MPP $116,500, including taxable expense allowances.
L'Heureux-Dubé explained that Quebec MNAs work 60 to 75 hours a week and do more work in committees than lawmakers in Ottawa or the other provinces, judging the committee's recommendations "just and equitable."
Quebec MNAs are also under pressure from members of the assembly press gallery, on the lookout for "the tiniest news or the slightest gaffe," the committee found.
The proposals call for increasing the $180,781 salary paid to Premier Pauline Marois to $272,020 and raising the $154,326 salary paid to cabinet ministers, Chagnon, as Speaker, and the opposition leader to $217,616.
The committee's report noted Quebec has an annual budget of $90 billion and a private-sector executive doing a complex job, comparable with that of Marois, would be paid at least $2.2 million. A private-sector position with the responsibilities of a minister would pay $400,000.
The report mentions that a Quebecer's average salary is $42,927.
Yves Bolduc, a Liberal MNA who is a medical doctor, said he took a pay cut to become an MNA, but doesn't think about the salary.
Nathalie Roy, Coalition Avenir Québec MNA for south-shore Montarville riding, said a pay increase would be "really inappropriate," considering the state of Quebec's public finances.
Françoise David, of Québec solidaire, said a pay hike for MNAS would be "difficult to understand " when other salaries remain low and the government is trimming its own spending.
Bernard Drainville, minister of democratic institutions, downplayed the proposals and said they would have to be studied.
"It is a sensitive issue to discuss, particularly in the context of the current financial situation," Drainville said, adding. "I take some comfort in the fact the members of the committee say their recommendations will be at zero cost."
This would be achieved by reducing an MNA's maximum pension payout to 70 per cent of their salary, from the present 100-per-cent ceiling. As well, MNAs would pay 41 per cent of their pension costs, up from the 21 per cent they now pay.
Also under the proposals, the practice of handing an MNA who resigns between elections a transition allowance of between $100,000 and $150,000 would end, except in cases where an MNA resigned because of a health issue or serious family matter.
The National Assembly's ethics commissioner would rule on whether the transition allowance should be paid.
Few MNAs now receive the base salary alone, because bonuses of between 15 per cent and 35 per cent are accorded to committee chairs, whips and other assembly officers, raising their pay above $100,000.
The committee recommends trimming back these bonuses and says the total package would add $2.3 million to the National Assembly's payroll costs, or 11.3 per cent, but the new arrangement would also net an additional $1.5 million in taxes and ending the systematic payout of transition allowances "would practically or even completely offset these additional costs."
