The Captain's College - Part 3
Supervisors are encouraged to use these tools to establish a positive foundation of expectations, habits, goals and objectives with their employees.
This article is the third in a series of articles based on the Captain's College webcast presented on Firehouse TrainingLIVE.
As with many things in the fire service, the use or should I say lack of use of performance guides and personnel evaluations are another critical aspect of the company officers duties. In this article we will breakdown and differentiate these two important documents.
Performance Guides
A performance guide is a tool used by the company officer to establish the foundation and expectations for the employee. As a supervisor, it is important that both parties, you (supervisor) and the employee (subordinate), are both operating on the same sheet of music. All too often the employee is left in the dark as to the expectations of the supervisor other than the proverbial, "Don't get in trouble". This shows both poor supervision and a lack of leadership and management, leaving too much open to speculation. When employees do not have clear expectations established by there supervisor, they are left to define the expectations by themselves. This leads to problems with employee performance and behavior.
A tool that the supervisor has at his disposal is the employee performance guide. Most organizations have these documents as part of the resources for supervisors to utilize in directing and managing personnel under their command. This document serves as somewhat of a contract between the employee and the supervisor which defines the expectations of the supervisor and establishes goals and objectives for the employee given a specified period of time. Not to be confused with a work improvement plan or the employee evaluation, the employee performance guide is not part of any disciplinary process or based upon negative work habits or behaviors, nor is it binding in any regard. It is simply a planning document used to assist in goal achievement and management of goals for both parties.
Supervisors are encouraged to use this tool to establish a positive foundation of expectations, habits, goals and objectives with their employees. From the employee standpoint, this document allows the them the first opportunity to sit down with their supervisor for a one-on-one and discuss their needs and the goals in which they wish to achieve over the given time period. This allows the employee the opportunity to hold the supervisor accountable to those items in which the supervisor has agreed upon to help the employee in the pursuit of individual performance.
Collectively this guiding document is a win-win for both parties. However, this planning document is a living document and is made to be adjusted and modified as needed throughout the evaluation period. It is a tool which the supervisor can use to keep abreast of the progress or lack of progress in which the employee is making based upon the discussions and goals set in the conception of the document. The best use of this tool is to sit down with it and the employee on a quarterly basis, reviewing the document and progress, thus making any minor or major modifications along the way. At the end of the evaluation period, it is best to summarize all the adjustments and supervisory notes to utilize together in creating an effective and legal Employee Evaluation.
Employee Evaluations
In conjunction with the employee performance guide, the employee evaluation is the foundational document that is kept on permanent record for the employee. This document is a legal document that is not a living document - so there is ability to make changes. Once it has been written, reviewed and agreed upon by the parties involved, or at times even contested, this document will stay with the employee for the length of his or her service with the organization.
It is vital that all company officers understand the gravity which this document holds. Many times these documents are the basis of pay raises, promotions, or even employment. Failure to provide the necessary work to do the proper job of completing these document and failure to fully grasp the seriousness of these documents are often referred to as "administrative felonies."

POLICE are warning householders to take care after three daylight burglaries in just a few hours in South Tyneside.
The burglaries happened on Friday afternoon, and in each case the thieves gained access to properties via insecure back doors.
Two homes in Witton Road, Hebburn, were targeted between 1pm and 2pm.
Several distinctive Pandora rings were stolen from one, along with a mobile phone and tablet computer. Nothing was stolen from the second.
Between 10.30am and 3.30pm, a property in Drummonds Crescent, Jarrow, was broken into, and a games console and cash stolen.
Police are carrying out inquiries into all three burglaries and are keen to hear from any witnesses or anyone with information.
Anyone who has been offered the jewellery or other items for sale is also asked to come forward.
Chief Inspector Sarah Pitt said: "Simply locking doors, even when inside your home, can be enough to stop thieves in their tracks.
"Thieves are opportunist in their nature, and we would urge people to stop giving them easy access.
"Burglaries cause misery to homeowners - there's not only the financial implications, but also the devastation of having someone go through your personal belongings.
"By following security advice, people can make sure there's no place for opportunist thieves in South Tyneside."
Anyone with information on the burglaries can contact police on 101, extension 69191, or the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Off My Mind: Is Damian Wayne Ready To Join A Team?
Being Robin, tradition practically states he needs to be in the Teen Titans. Having a Boy Wonder on the team just makes sense. The question is, would they want him?
First of all, Damian is not a teen. Perhaps that could be overlooked. The main issue will be is the rest of the team ready for Damian? He's not easy to get along with. Would Damian settle for being just another member? Would he be willing to take orders from anyone on the team? He can barely take orders from Dick Grayson. Would Damian reveal who his parents are?
What will happen when Damian and the Teen Titans come together?
Pure entertainment.
Damian is such a little $#!% that he makes you want to reach into your comic and choke him or something. Not that I'm condoning choking annoying ten year olds. Damian almost acts like he's royalty. In the world of masks and capes, he practically is. Regardless of his parentage and however many years of training he's had with the League of Assassins, he's still just a kid. He hasn't been doing the "superhero" thing for that long. He may be wearing the mantle of Robin, but technically, Bruce never bestowed that upon him.
Damian will add a new dynamic to the Teen Titans, if they can put up with him. Having him around will definitely help Wonder Girl and Superboy evolve into more mature and experienced heroes. They will have to practice lots of patience when it comes to Damian. It will also be interesting to see how Damian and Ravager interact.
I don't really see Damian as a long term member of the team. It's never really been said that he'd officially be joining them. When Bruce Wayne officially returns, this could be something he'd like to see so Damian could gain experience from others closer to his age. Bruce will be heading his new team, "Batman, Inc." but in a recent interview with Grant Morrison where he listed several members on the team, he neglected to mention Damian. Maybe Bruce feels Damian isn't ready to be part of that team even though Squire was mentioned as part of it.
Either way, it should be entertaining to see if Damian will join the Teen Titans and how many panels it will take until he tries claiming the leadership role.

I think i'm one of the only people to like Damian because he is such a little S**t lol he reminds me Jason Todd. [i know that ended well]
I think he does need a team just not the Teen Titans i think maybe he he should start his own team kinda like Tim did with Young Justice, he already has a team mate in Abuse maybe thats what will happen, Teen Titans wont be able to handle Damian he gets prissy leave makes his own team....just putting it out there.

I like that a bunch of teens got to deal with a ten year old brat. That's good writing at it's finest. Damian on the team is a win-win situation. We all know he can handle himself. Plus, you know the team will get into som jams and he will have to bail them out too. Would I would like to see, is for him to fall in love with Wonder Girl or something. Who at ten years old didn't have a crush on some older hotness? AWESOME. There's so much you can do with this character on the team. I can't wait.

If it was the ol Damian I'd say not a chance in hell. Since it's the current Damian I'd say... not a chance in hell. I doubt it'll last more than a couple after those two, or even past those two. To quote the synops: "Damian might not want to join you, he's more than happy to lead you!" ^_^

Agreed. Though his character would be too stubborn to quit if he ever got in, I think. But I don't think Damian would take the Teen Titans seriously - too much like the girl scouts. I think he wants to be his father's son and nothing else (who as you may recall from JLA, isn't exactly a team player either).

Damian's was annoying at first when he appeared, but now...I like the little bastard. He's smart, arrogant, and a genuine prick who doesn't take lip from anyone. Sure, he'll probally create a lot of problems for the titans, but it makes for great entertainment and storyline situations.
I'm excited by the new Teen Titans creative team but a bit skeptical about Damian. I have no doubt they can tell good and interesting stories with him. My only issue that is that his biggest draw is that he's the character you love to hate and I'm not sure how sustainable that is as a character archetype. It seems like such characters are inevitably turned good at the sacrifice of what make them compelling in the first place or conversely stuck and unable to grow as a character (somehow still being a jerk despite tons of situations that should have matured them beyond it). I tend to see Damian's lifespan- at least as Robin- as inevitably limited.

I haven't read much of Batman lately, but I can't picture Damian in any kind of team. On the other hand some itme with the Titans might help him to calm down and reduce his attitude problems.
Anyway I disagree about saying that he would never be more ready, he might have Batman's and Talia's DNA and the training of the League of Assassins, but this doesn't necessarily makes him suited to be on a team, otherwise Cassandra Cain should be the leader of her own team by now. Plus it looks to me that he has zero social skills aside from intimidation.
" I'm betting that he will try to take over the team in his first appearance in the Teen titan's series. By the way, I thought you have to be a teen to join the Teen Titan's? "How old is Beast Boy these days? Cyborg and Starfire were hanging out with them before they left for the JLA (and REBELS). I do agree that he may be a tad young but he makes up for it.

Of course he is. I can see it now, Damian having to be drugged because he's afraid to fly so they knock him out to get him onto airplanes. He can have a cool van he's overly protective of.
Oh wait, you meant a team, not A-Team. I read that wrong.

Well, he can't be the leader like all the other Robins. BATMAN is not the leader of the JLA because he's hard to get along with, although he's the best choice as for as strategy goes. Damian would be good as a leader from a strategic point of view, but he would be terrible for the team.

Sorry, but Damien Wayne needs an attitude adjustment. He's annoying, arrogant little bastard who's in desperate need of a serious ass kicking. Maybe then he'll come to realize he's not "all that" and start acting like a normal kid.

He is the heir to two of the richest and powerful families in DCU and he naturally has the self-confidence someone from that background would have. He could kick all our asses and he's 10, and he thinks he is going to be Batman when he grows up.
Also, Morrison has done a good job of showing that as good as Damian is, he has a lot to learn.

Its called Teen Titans. As much as I like Damian as Robin he isn't even a teen. Teen Titans is supposed to be like a junior Justice League and its supposed to have experienced and really talented members. You can't tell me Damian is at the same level as Connor Kent or Wonder Girl or even Tim Drake

Hopefully he will be come likerble when he bumps into TT and learns not everyone cares he's Batman's biological son.
But i can imagine the trouble he is going to cause from himself when he gets on the other Titans nerves. (Why isn't Miss Martian there? I'd love to see him storm all over the tower with a beserk Megan in persuit in her White Martian shape.)

Red Robin needs to rejoin the Teen Titans.
Call me crazy I think Dick and Damian should keep doin' there own thing in Gotham and Bruce should keep Tim as his sidekick and do the Justice League thang. Although I don't much care for Tim as the Red Robin dude, I don't know if its the costume or what but I've loved Tim since I was a kid, he was Robin when I was teen so we grew up together, but I just don't care for the RR mantle, sorry.

The Harsin effect
- Details
- by Administrator 2 years ago
Hard to argue with the stats and productivity that Harsin (who is calling the plays) and Applewhite are getting from their squad which features a bunch of young guys (the following starters are all freshmen: WR, RB, QB, C, LT) and they have 3 other Sophomores starting as well.
This season, the Longhorns are running the football again, averaging nearly 220 yards per game on the ground (and their doing it primarily with two freshmen running the ball against defenses that know that the freshman QB isn't likely to hurt them too badly through the air. Texas is 17th in the nation in rushing offense but only 90th in passing. They are 40th in scoring whereas they ranked 82nd last year.
We noticed that Texas only had 57 runs of 10 or more yards all of least season (12 games). This year they already have 55 through 7 games...even though everybody is jamming the box. Impressive improvement under Harsin and Applewhite.
Saturday Texas takes on Texas Tech which has given up a large number of long rushing plays and it 114th in the nation in rushing defense. It will be interesting to see how Harsin and Applewhite try to attack Tech's defense and control the clock (and the game).

San Francisco Restaurants
Tacolicious Review
A Mexican Marina hotspot, Tacolicious draws a young and energetic crowd that fuels up on equal parts tacos and tequila, or on chilaquiles and Bloody Marias during weekend brunch. The menu uses many local and sustainable ingredients, but still keeps it affordable (and crowd pleasing, with chili con carne and taquitos). Tables are usually laden with made-to-order guacamole and platters of well-stuffed tacos (the carnitas and short-rib versions are especially full of flavor). You'll also see groups ordering rounds of "chupitos," easy-to-drink shots of tequila mixed with juices, from prickly pair to passion fruit. The pan con chocolate is a holdover from the previous restaurant's incarnation for a good reason—it's a delicious finish. If you are hard of hearing or don't want to speak in a raised voice, this is not the restaurant for you, unless you land one of the few outside tables. You can also try their equally bustling Mission District outpost, which has a tequila bar, Mosto.

Hotel Hermes is wonderful. We had such a relaxing stay. It is located about half way between the beach and the village so we thought it was perfect. The pool will absolutely make your stay worthwhile. There are great cocktails and drinks to have by the pool in a beautiful, relaxed environment. I would recommend staying here when you visit Ios, you will not regret it!

Sorry if the title is confusing.
I have a list of data frames combined into temp.list. I want to raise each row of a specific column based on the value in vec. For example, vec has the values 2, 0, and 3. I want to do: X2^2, log(X2), X2^3. So do log(X2) if the value in vec==0. The last three lines of code is where I have an issue.
M1 <- data.frame(matrix(1:4, nrow = 2, ncol = 2))
M2 <- data.frame(matrix(1:9, nrow = 3, ncol = 3))
M3 <- data.frame(matrix(1:4, nrow = 2, ncol = 2))
mlist <- list(M1, M2, M3)
temp.list <-mlist
vec <- c(2,0,3)
The code below works! But I don't want to raise X2^0.
for(i in 1:length(vec)){
temp.list[[i]]$X2 <- temp.list[[i]]$X2^vec[[i]]
The code below replaces all rows of X2 by the first value calculated in X2.
for(i in 1:length(vec)){
temp.list[[i]]$X2 <- ifelse(vec[[i]]==0,log(temp.list[[i]]$X2),temp.list[[i]]$X2^vec[[i]]
Any other ways of doing this would also be much appreciated.

Great Portfolio! I suggest you to make more variations of your photos. Costumers that are on photodune, not always have photoshop. Sometimes they need a model but in different background. (Picture -> Yellow Background, Blue…...) You need to make the maximal things with your photos, so you get more display in search results.

Delta was founded in February 1998 by its then CEO, Joseph A. Kennedy. His more than 25 years of experience in private career college ownership and management includes managing multi-campus operations, developing and executing strategic plans, attracting and developing high-energy results-oriented management teams, and opening branch operations. He has presented extensively within the career college field as a recognized leader of quality institutions. Delta's first acquisition, in February 1998, was Miller-Motte Business College, with campuses in Clarksville, Tennessee, Wilmington, North Carolina, and Lynchburg, Virginia. Following this initial acquisition, Delta purchased Career Training Specialists in Monroe, Louisiana. In September 2000, in response to the increased concentration in technical program offerings, both Miller-Motte Business Colleges and Career Training Specialists changed their names to Miller-Motte Technical College and Career Technical College, respectively. In December of that year, Miller-Motte launched a new branch campus in Charleston, South Carolina. With the influx of this new capital investment, in August of 2002 Delta acquired the McCann School of Business and Technology, a school that was founded in 1897 and operates campuses in Pottsville, Sunbury, Scranton, and Hazleton, Pennsylvania. The Mahanoy City branch of McCann moved to Hazleton in May 2005 in order to better serve the needs of students and employers both in Northern Schuylkill County and Southern Luzerne County (the Greater Hazleton Area). Continuing its expansion, in September of 2002, Delta purchased The Creative Circus, a premier graphic arts, advertising, and photography school located in Atlanta, Georgia, and opened a branch campus of Miller-Motte Technical College in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Not ready to apply?
Delta's core mission is to provide quality educational programs that deliver real-life career skills and lead directly to employment upon graduation, resulting in positive outcomes for students, employers, the community and the school.

Each and every individual has the responsibility to look after his health. To complete this, a person ought to meet up with his medical doctor when he thinks that something is wrong with his system. The physician should examine the signs and symptoms to be able to suggest appropriate lab tests to acquire a appropriate medical diagnosis on the well being situation of an individual. Hence, the doctor ought to give the proper medication or treatment that the patient requires.
One from the several well being issues of these days is diabetic issues. Once a person becomes diabetic, he will will need medication to manage blood sugar level. This really is very critical for the reason that diabetes is something that could have an effect on other body organs that might lead to other illnesses and dysfunction. It truly is nevertheless attainable that one medication is really a therapy for any disorder or illness but becomes a supply of a different disorder or illness immediately after long-term use.
Some unhealthy situations are results of diabetes drug damage. There are drugs that may impair the eyesight of the patient. It's about fluid retention inside the eyes identified as macular edema. Considering that there could be a need to make use of the medicine, what a diabetic patient can do is to go for regular eye examination to know the current situation of his sight.
In addition to diabetes, osteoporosis is one more well being condition of concern to several. Osteoporosis may well lead to vertebral or spinal compression fractures. Therapy may be surgical or non-surgical. For non-surgical, rehabilitation and taking medications are ways of therapy. Comparable to many diabetic drugs, some anti-inflammatory and pain relievers must not have long-term use considering that it could influence the condition of the kidney.
In virtually any case, a diabetic individual who has osteoporosis may have to have the services of at the least 2 specialists, one with regard to his diabetes and another for his osteoporosis. It for that reason becomes critical that each and every health expert know the status of both ailments to ensure that there will likely be no conflict within the medications to supply. Failure to complete so may outcome to a medical negligence that can be a basis for any legal action.
There is no excuse for one doctor not to understand that the affected individual has both diabetes and also osteoporosis. It really is the duty of the wellness professional to know in the event the individuals both have diabetes together with osteoporosis. Both physicians should also know the doable uncomfortable side effects of their very own prescription separately or when used simultaneously. A medical malpractice might be a result of neglect or lack of judgment. Wrongful death is just not a necessary result but existence of damage could qualify an act of giving an inaccurate or inappropriate prescription for a lawsuit.

Well, the time is nearing for my wife to finally have our baby. It's a crazy and strange sensation to be a new father! It is so interesting to feel that in only ONE WEEK my whole life will take a huge turn and my complete view of the world will change! People try to explain to me what it's like, they use words like "incredible", "amazing", and sometimes "scary." But still I have nothing to compare it to emotionally. There is nothing in the world that can be compared to holding your first child for the first time, as a father. So, needless to say, I'm VERY "excited!" But at the same time, I'm very "anxious" to finally hold him, to meet him, and to love him.
Sometimes I imagine what I will teach him, what I will say to him, how I will help him. I try to think of who he will be, of what he will be like… and that's when I become the most excited, to see him grow. I hope with all my heart that I live up to his expectations as his father, and that I live up to my own!
I chose this picture because I know that sometimes both him and I will act like Monkeys.

Gender Differences in Mathematics
An Integrative Psychological Approach
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreFemales consistently score lower than males on standardized tests of mathematics – yet no such differences exist in the classroom. These differences are not trivial, nor are they insignificant. Test scores help determine entrance to college and graduate school and therefore, by extension, a person's job and future success. If females receive lower test scores then they also receive fewer opportunities. Why does this discrepancy exist? This book presents a series of papers that address these issues by integrating the latest research findings and theories. Authors such as Diane Halpern, Jacquelynne Eccles, Beth Casey, Ronald Nuttal, James Byrnes, and Frank Pajares tackle these questions from a variety of perspectives. Many different branches of psychology are represented, including cognitive, social, personality/self-oriented, and psychobiological. The editors then present an integrative chapter that discusses the ideas presented and other areas that the field should explore. less

The last few weekends I have been doing linkups (6-7K ft of climbing) in the Flatirons, mostly in approach shoes. Both times friction-related pain on the balls of both feet has limited my progress. My friend noted the same thing with his Raptors. I have intermittent sesamoiditis, which the approach shoes help to prevent. I have experienced this on alpine routes also, but it usually doesn't start until ~14 hours in (I realize slabs accelerate onset). Not surprisingly, it's worse in warmer temps. I have tried different approach shoes, inserts with tackier surfaces, double socks, tape, and lubing my feet. And, yes, I have read Fixing Your Feet. It doesn't happen with long runs/hikes or with climbing shoes. Any recommendations other than trying to do everything in climbing shoes? thanks
When you tried taping and lubing, did you do it at the same time? i.e. use tape and then lube over it and re-apply regularly throughout your climbing? What did you lube with? While athletic tape sticks better for this purpose, another option is using duct tape. The only problem is getting it to stick to your skin well for long periods of time. Maybe use athletic tape as an anchor for the duct tape on the top or sides of your foot.
thanks, Aerili What worked for me without fail when I was ultrarunning is silicone lube alone, so that's what I used before I left the house. Duct tape tends to exacerbate blister problems for me b/c it holds in moisture. I had a roll of Mueller Euro tape in my pack, so I tried that after the lube wasn't helping. Tony suggested that I reduce the volume of my approach shoes; I think I will try a lower volume pair with different liner socks and lube as a backup. p.s. The sesamoiditis has been a lot better. Thanks again for the info.
i don't know it will help.. but istarted chalking my feet 30 years ago.. for climbing, running and hiking. seems to help disclaimer- i have not worn socks for ever and have not had a blister fot years.. I think it's foot slip issue just mine
Okay, but did you try taping + lube over the tape? For me, it is a superior combination than either alone. Also, I assume by a "lower volume shoe" you mean a shoe with a lower profile toebox? I have no idea if this will work (it certainly could) but keep in mind that stuff like that is dependent on your foot shape and its own natural volume...it could also present a whole new set of problems for you.
inever did the tape/lube .. i have problems with heel size usually.. guess that's the years of climbing
I have tried the lube/tape previously with long distance running at least. Tape has never helped me personally, it either does nothing or makes the problem worse with creases or when it starts to come off. I have lower volume approach shoes already and come to think of it, have never had the friction issues with alpine at least. thanks though
FWIW...I tend to get blisters when I use liners in warm weather. A single pair of socks treats me best in in warm and hot weather. Truck13
thanks, Truck. Will keep that in mind.

The new year means it's a time for fresh starts and culinary resolutions. We're eating healthier, shopping smarter, and cooking greener — and we're encouraging you to do the same! Here are five items that will help you do so. Penguin Soda Maker What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In 2009, I drank one to two bottles of sparkling water per day. Although I recycled the bottles, investing in a Penguin Soda Maker ($250) is far more environmentally friendly. I can make the water at home and bottle it myself! 1 / 5 Ratio: The Simple Codes Behind the Craft of Everyday Cooking What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Both YumSugar and I have resolved to whip up more original creations in the year 2010, and Michael Ruhlman's new book, Ratio ($18), will be just the tool to help us generate original recipes. It breaks down doughs, batters, stocks, and sauces into simple proportions that any cook can build upon. 2 / 5 All-Clad d5 Stainless Steel Pots and Pans What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 There's no better motivator to get in the kitchen and experiment with exotic cuisines than a shiny new set of pots and pans. This seven-piece set ($600) — that heats 20 percent faster than the average stainless steel pots — is perfect for both beginner and experienced home cooks. 3 / 5 Chobani Yogurt What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 My new morning routine includes a cup of Chobani yogurt ($3.49). It's insanely thick, and its many fruit flavors, like pineapple and blueberry, are chock-full of whole fruit. The fact that it's a good deal, all natural, kosher, packed with twice the protein content of other yogurts, and contains no fat and cholesterol is merely a plus! My favorite is the pomegranate, which adds a juicy crunch. 4 / 5 Lazy Susan Spice Rack What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 With the help of this double decker lazy Susan ($23.79), my spices will finally get organized! I'll purchase two of the turntables — one will hold baking-related items like vanilla extract and cinnamon, while the other will be home to savory spices like chili powder and red pepper flakes. 6 / 5 0 0 0 0 0 Read More Chobani YogurtMichael RhulmanAll Clad D5 PansSparkling Water Maker2010 New YearJanuarySpice RackMust HavesYogurt Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

Named for its hands-on approach, this Austin-based company works with artisans around the world to create custom designs using sustainable materials. In 1991, on an Eat-Pray-Love fest of self-discovery, founder Brett Hatton set off to retrace the ancient Silk Road between China and Europe. He found so many antique treasures, furniture items and rare devices in Pakistan and India that his future path became clear: he set up a furniture business to bring his finds to the world. In addition to its eponymous line, Four Hands makes five other collections of furnishings and lighting, including Bina, Boulevard, Old Java, Architects & Heroes, and Bluefish; they are also the exclusive North American distributor for furnishings by Esquire Home.
A rustic, subtly vintage-feeling aesthetic defines these lighting pieces... they've got a globally inspired, world-traveled feel, and are bound to add plenty of personality to any room.
Get inspired by these illuminated finds: Whether you choose a floor or table lamp, or an overhead design, the options on offer here possess an aesthetic that's subtly rustic and vintage-feeling, yet fresh and contemporary at once. They'll fit into a variety of spaces, either as a counterpoint to a modern design scheme or a complement to a classic one.
Named for its hands-on approach to design, this Austin-based company works with artisans around the world to create custom designs using sustainable materials. A rustic, subtly vintage-feeling aesthetic defines the lot.
Done right, a safari decor theme is rich and elegant. The key is restraint: Choose one or two focal pieces for visual impact, like a rustic teak table or a natural-finish wood platform bed. Then finish the look with personality-filled accents like a wooden animal-head wall sculpture or a whimsical elephant ottoman. Keep the rest of the room minimal: A subdued palette of solids, in earthy or black-and-white tones, is an ideal backdrop.

i havE ALOT TO SAY. I HAVE TO SAY THAT I AM SO HAPPY OBAMA WON. WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THE FIRST STEP TO REUNITE AMERICA.I AM SCARED AND AT THE SAME TIME EXCITED TO SEE HOW AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE.I ASK GOD TO PROTECT HIM FROM THE EVIL AND HELP HIM GET US OUT OF THIS WAR THAT THANKS TO BUSH WE ARE IN THIS BIG HOLE.I WISH HIM THE VERY BEST AND WANT HIM TO KNOW THAT I AM SO HAPPY TO HAVE HIM AS A PRESIDENT AND THAT I REALLY LOVE HIM AND HOPE HE DOESNT LET ME OR ANYONE DOWN.I CANT EXPRESS MY FEELINGS VERY MUCH BUT THE TRUTH IS I CANT BELEIVE MY DREAM CAME TRUE. I LOVE OBAMA.i LOVE HIM VERY MUCH
Just finished the article."It would be a mistake to overinterpret".??????A non-white man has just been elected. When he was born, it was illegal for blacks and whites to marry in some states.And around the world, people were rooting for his success.In fact, it would be almost impossible to overinterpret what his election means.Assuming that this election was simply about differing economic policies is entirely wrong. In fact, the Bush administration has been more socialist than that of any Democrat since FDR, so I'm not sure that any specific economic policies had much to do with it at all. More important was the perception of intelligence and capability, qualities that were never associated with the current President, coupled with the fact that these qualities were found in a very rare and unique individual. Not a single individual in America was unaware of the racial aspect of this election and there could not have been a more perfect candidate to appeal to all races. Obama never once played to white guilt, which offends all of those whites who worked and work for racial justice, and he never played to black pride, which is the counterpart and however understandable, remains rather senseless as it has nothing to do with the quality of the individual. Whites were truly able to believe that they were judging the content of his character with no caveats, and blacks were able to feel assured that he did not stand as a candidate due to affirmative action, lower expectations, or special breaks. Most importantly, his grace and confidence and eloquence would have been winning assets for any candidate, of any race. Obama's election has in fact changed the country. Not so much in a Democrat /Republican sense, but in the minds of the people. He need be no more than competent to be ranked among the first tier of presidents, all of whom save Washington having been men who grew into the office when it was necessary to do so.
It is wrong to interpret Mr. Barack Obama's victory in the US presidential race as the country's tilt towards the left. Far from it. Obama owes his victory to Americans who put reason before ideological dogmatism.
It should be understood that the outgoing Repulican administration got it wrong on both foreign policy and economic issues becuause of its tendency to see things through the monochromatic prism of conservatism that led to delusional images of friends and foes as also chmerical search for solution to challenges.
Obama was able to tap into this popular resentment against the Republican policies.
It was in no way a referendum aginst the capitalism.
Obama getting strong support from both the white and colored segments of the Amercian meritocracy should be enough to negate that America is edging leftward.
In fact, Obama has been chosen over John McCain because he has the shown clinical coldness to free capitalism from people who think they can earn money through fraudulent means and get away with it by taking cover behind capitalist ideology of free enterprise.
Noor Mohd
This article is disingenuous and deluded on so many levels it is hardly worth disentangling them.But just to take a glaring inanity, how is it that capturing virtually all of the black vote by appealing to Black Liberation Theology undercurrents and alienating most of the white population is not a racist campaign victory? And is a uniting force? Au contraire, m'sieur! This insane expectations raised are another ticking bomb; the subtext of 'free lunches for everyone', or at least those who will be on the receiving end of "spreading the wealth", was swallowed whole by 10s of millions. Their rage when the promised cornucopia is not forthcoming will be historic. And "govern from the center"? What have you been smoking? 100% of Obama's background -- upbringing, education, experience, mentoring, financing, and political support -- have been from the far fringe left, not to mention revolutionary expansionary Islam. (He went into Kenya to help Odinga subvert the electoral process and incite violence aimed at bringing Sharia down on the heads of the Christian majority.)His record of performance and achievement in the conventional paths of government and even education is thin and tainted. For example, his elevation at the Harvard Law School was based on the literary quality of "Dreams From My Father", which was totally out of character from the little he had ever written, like a unicorn in a goat pen. It was likely written by William Ayres, whose writing it closely resembles. (It is also totally different and distinct in style vocabulary level, and sophistication from his "subsequent" autobiography-number-2, "Audacity of Flim-Flam", or whatever he called it. His election has been the most audacious and egregious con job ever pulled on a mature democracy, and we may be headed for prolonged agony paying the piper.
As an on again-off again independent Anglo of modest means, I pondered at length before casting my vote for Mr. Obama. I finally decided that while both candidates, for disparate reasons, held strong potential for failure as President of the United States, only one had the potential for greatness in that high office.
I agree with your analysis of why he won. 40% of workers in the US pay no taxes. Under Obama they will get tax rebates. We already have some of the highest business and corporate tax rates in the world. I am a middle class professional, WAY below Obama's magic family income ceiling of approx $120,000 and up per year. Already I pay 38% federal tax, 7% social social security tax, 9% state tax, 8.25% tax on every purchase and going up, property taxes and special assessments of around $8,000 a year, $.45 of every gallon of gasoline goes to federal and state taxes. In addition there are motor vehicle state fees, state smog check fees, business license fees. That is the MINIUMUM base. Then add electric, gas, water, trash, cable, internet, phone, business expenses, health care insurance, food, transportation costs, gasoline, children's expenses, groceries, house maintenance, church contributions and you have the next tier of MUST PAY bills. After that, if there is ANYTHING left, and there often is not, that goes to continued education, travel, clothing, and discretionary. No wonder our economy is in crisis and a severe recession.And under Obama, as a middle class income earner, taxes will increase.
BrianFH: The most encouraging thing that this election has shown me is that America increasingly has less and less of people like you (i.e., the Obama is a Muslim crowd).
The fact that a black man was able to gain the support of Virginians and North Carolinians is incredibly moving. Of course, we have to keep in mind that those states have undergone a lot of demographic change.
I don't think that all of our problems will disappear just because of one man, but I'm incredibly excited to see what's next.
Like many of you, I rejoiced at the happy news that Obama is our next president. However, let us not forget that here comes the hard part. We must all do our part to support him and our country over the next four years and beyond!
Just had to respond to this, out of all the insane comments:_____________"henry32 wrote:November 08, 2008 00:34straightpath1:...yet under Clinton we had a surplus. Under Bush, we have the biggest deficit in our country's history." _____________________Two points: 1) Clinton 'cashed in' on the 'Peace Dividend' by gutting the military. Bush was faced with the inevitable consequence. 2) Bush didn't budget the deficits; Congress imposed them. It is not an accident that Congress' approval level is about 1/3 of Bush's very low mark.
Chas... Thanks for the link. How do I get the polling sample data?
Chas... I don't believe you can make such a sweeping statement, i.e. that the country is socially progressive, especially when three large states that voted for President-elect Obama, including California and Florida, also voted overwhelmingly to ban gay marriage. Our new president rose on the tide of a perfect storm, built on the swells of a crashing economy and dwindling retirement savings. Fear is often the source of change. As Buckley once said: "I mean to live my life an obedient man, but obedient to God, subservient to the wisdom of my ancestors; never to the authority of political truths arrived at yesterday at the voting booth."
Whatever happens in coming months or years, I will never forget the sea of smiling and tear-stained faces in Grant Park gazing raptly at Obama as he gave his acceptance speech. It was a tapestry of our country, and indeed our globalized world; black, white, brown, old, middle-aged and young looking with hope and renewed energy towards the future. A future in which we must overcome fear and greed and embrace our common humanity and the challenges that confront us.
Tuesday night there was a real sense in Grant Park, in the streets and from my restaurant seat in the Blackstone Hotel overlooking both that the whole world really was watching us last night. I could not be prouder of my adapted home town and that skinny guy with the funny name from the South Side – or our country for taking the leap of faith required to elect him. What a remarkable night; following his convincing yet somehow bewildering victory not a dry eye was in sight as Obama invoked Lincoln "…government of the people, for the people and by the people has not perished from this earth" and later our remarkable 20th century story and King… To watch this most improbable gathering unfold on the same ground, created with the debris of the Great Chicago Fire, named for the Civil War hero and scene of the infamous political chaos of 1968, with people from across the country and around the world, was to witness history and a true privilege.
To BrianFH:I see your "facts" about Kenya come from that highly regarded "scholar" Jerome Corsi who calls his book, "The Obama Nation", a "scholarly work"...even if most of his facts have been debunked. This is the same man who appeared on the hate radio program 'The Political Cesspool'. Yes Brian, I can see that you are a fountain of knowledge and wisdom and that you get your facts from objective and neutral sources.
To BrianFH, I hope that most readers would agree that you are loony tunes. Please seek professional help.To everyone else... it feels good to once again proud to be a citizen of the United States. It has been an unbearable eight years, and I have my Canadian Social Insurance Number to prove it.
Mr Obama did a fantastic job of helping down-ticket Democrats. This same strategy of using one's enormous popularity to build up one's party was available to Mr Reagan in 1984, but he couldn't be bothered. The Republicans could have been the ones to reap the lasting gains then. Instead the Democrats will have them now. May they use them well.
To all those who are still finding it hard to accept the reality of a President "Obama", I have just one thing to say to those " Sore Losers " :
Learn to suck it up, or go seek some professional counseling.
But either way, remember to Bow Down, when the Commander in Chief comes to your town.
Peace, Love & Respect.
I see the republican party in real trouble. They are behind in every demographic group except those over 65. Yes whites are still there but I bet thats because of those over 65. The party is no longer economically competent, or for small government. They are being reduced to a small anti- science red neck party. Not a lasting collection of winners.
In an earlier election, the pundits said "it's the economy stupid". This is also the case in 2008 with a meltdown of financial markets beginning in September. To overcome this would have been impossible for McCain or any other Republican candidate. The irony is that much of the" blame" for this economic dislocation was due to the policies foisted on a financial institutions by Senator Dodd and Barney Frank. The pressure placed on financial institutions to provide mortgages to unqualified applicants through a social engineering policy and the rapacious attitude of the hedge funds certainly share a great deal of the blame for the economic dislocation.
Perhaps, Obama will have some solutions for this economic crisis but I wouldn't hold out much hope that his actions would be any more effective or thoughtful than his proposals for vast government increases in interference and spending.
The choice of an African-American as the new leader of the world's most powerful nation appears to have signaled in an era of the beginning of the decline of global white supremacy. Its significance can be daunting. The whites (mostly the younger generation of the post 1960s) hold little qualm in voting for their ethnic-free choice of leader which several decades ago would have been quite unimaginable.
One might think that Martin Luther King's dream was almost completely shattered after his untimely assassination some 40 years ago. But his dream revived. It just did, not a moment too late.
The world has witnessed that regimes headed by minority would often be short-lived. Does this bear any relevance to the US? THINK ABOUT IT.

For those of you that don't remember, Knapp was part of the "dynamite" Cliff Lee trade. Over three years, Knapp allowed 4 HRs in 156 innings, while striking out over 200. He had an extremely strong arm and an a possibly exciting future. Then, he injured his shoulder twice and that was the end. He is only 23, despite being around forever and a day. Most likely, he'll get knocked around in whatever league they start him in and he'll hang it up after. But wouldn't it be a cool story if he still had something left? I think it's an interesting story line to follow. Interestingly enough, I still have him in my AL only dynasty league (no penalty for holding on to minor leaguers). I took a flyer on him in the 4th round of the milb draft in 2009. We get awarded compensatory picks of players are traded to the NL or retire/go to independent leagues. I never thought his "comeback" was going to actually land him on a roster.
Wild :)
