New Post, Old Topic!
Greetings, readers!
Thank you for your patience while I got through my exams. I'm excited to have them behind me and to finally be able to revisit my own work once again.
As I revisit the letters that are the focus of this blog, I am struck by some of the ways my family narrative has shifted over the past year. I began this blog in part to understand my grandmother, whom I never met. This notion implies that she died prematurely. Last year, I shared that the family believed Sylvia died from an infection like strep throat – likely caused by an infection at the dentist – that moved to her heart at a time before antibiotics were available and effective enough to stop it. Infections like this are usually treatable in the United States today. It is now one year ago this week that I had open heart surgery for a congenital condition that we now believe may be the same condition that Sylvia had. After a few years of writing this blog there was suddenly a new way that I am tied to her. But this new link is also what kept me from ever meeting her and what prohibited my father and aunt from knowing her longer.
I want to re-start this blog with a reposting of the entry I wrote just after my surgery. It includes postcards sent from Sylvia in the hospital not long before she passed away: See it here.
Please stay tuned for more regular postings again.
Temporary Hiatus
It has occurred to me to write on this blog that I am taking a temporary hiatus from updating while I study for my PhD exams, which I am taking in August. I do plan to continue telling the story of Sylvia, Alex and Cookie in the fall. (This is not the most exciting 100th post but I will make up for it later!)
In the meantime, here are some short pieces I've written for other sites that relate more directly to my doctoral studies. Thank you all for your patience and I can't wait to get back to writing in September!
50 Iconic WWII Documents
A new book, Politics, War, and Personality: 50 Iconic World War II Documents, uses objects to approach WWII history, which I appreciate. A significant number of the featured documents are letters from historical figures. While I believe letters from people who aren't presidents and leaders merit collection and investigation as well, I wanted to share this.
The Value of War Letters
Andrew Carroll understands the material and historical (in addition to the sentimental) value of war letters and has been collecting them for years.
NPR describes his efforts to preserve these documents:
I love you still, dammit!
Long ago I posted a "Letter Full of Bawling Out." You may want to revisit this letter, in which Alex takes his frustrations out on Sylvia. This letter is not the same one full of "bawling out" that Sylvia refers to in the letter below but it provides another side and example of fighting via mail. Her voice is stern and hurt but not vicious – and still loving. She writes that it is difficult for her to respond and you can feel the painful emotional choices she has to make in this letter. She does not want to say anything she might regret, or anything that doesn't tell Alex that he means a lot to her but she is injured by his words and does not accept them without recourse. She finds her defense is to continue living her life as if she were not waiting for him. She goes to movies without him but still tells him she is proud of the work he did in Chicago before the war.
I wasn't able to find information about the movies or books that Sylvia mentions in this post but I will continue to look. For now, the emotional reasons that she mentions seeing movies feels more prevalent.
Friday, January 5, 1945
Dear Alex,
It's difficult for me to start this letter – I'm at a loss to know what tone to adopt – since the letter I received from you yesterday. Shall I pretend I never received it? ( that was your bawling out letter – and also where you tell me we might not see each other throughout Winter, Spring, and possibly summer… Remember? ) well, no mail from you today, so I guess you've started your reciprocal trade (and letters) agreement. I might joke about it, but it's going to be a stiff punishment not to hear from you – about your safety anyway – so don't keep it up!! Even my handwriting looks restrained.
These beautiful images come from the Slate's history blog – The Vault. The sketches of women working during WWII are really contemplative and lovely:
Common Sense Has To Prevail
This is a sweet note from Alex aboard the S.S. Pennsylvania. He wrote it in January of 1945 but it was not postmarked until February 5th.
He writes of the news they get on the ship – but warns Sylvia not to believe everything that she hears and to have faith that he will come home soon. Oddly, he mentions that he is somewhat relieved to hear that the government is drafting 26 to 36 year old men because it lets him know that the country is still involved in the war – not forgetting the men still serving in the military. When a gentle communist man who hated serving in the war shows happiness at the drafting of other young men, we can clearly see how being at war can change your ideas and political instincts.
Finally, when Alex writes that his spirits are buoyed by the idea that Sylvia is "cheerfully" waiting for him, we see the pressure everyone was under to be optimistic. Awaiting a homecoming itself was not enough, it was as important to be cheerful about it. This is a personal application of the government propaganda for women to "Keep it short, keep it cheerful."
At Sea. January 20 -45
Dearest sweetheart,
We had a rough weather for a while. Now the sea is comparatively calm though there is a strong wind and snow. I am off my watch ready to take a nap for a couple of hours, but I want to write to you, so that you may hear from me, so as to bridge the distance that separates us.
Our thoughts Are full of calm and of our dear ones. Wondering when will it be all over. The news are not so bad, if only this push the Russians are making would really brake [sic] through and put an end to this war at least on this side of the Ocean. I guess the next few weeks will tell the story in full.
Of what else can I write you about? There is a lot of talk about going home. The radio had it on and that started it. It was said that the ruling is as far as the army is concerned, duration and six months. Navy and Marines there is no such ruling, and I guess they can keep us as long as they feel the need for us. I am quite sure that when the war is over, there will be rulings made for us too, there would be to [sic] much resentment at home, particularly with men who have families and have a good record of service overseas. So no matter what the politicians may say, don't let them disturb you, I know that common sense has to prevail, particularly when so many people's future is involved.
We also heard that their [sic] beginning to draft men 26 to 36 again. I am glad in one way, because from here it sounds to much like as if the war was over for the people in the states.
Darling, keep on writing those wonderful letters. And never tire to tell me of how much I mean to you. You are to me the dearest person in this world. The only thing that makes all this nocking [sic] around bearable is to know that you love me and are waiting for my homecoming cheerfully. That you have faith in me as I have in you. That you are taking care of our darling baby and all is well at home.
To know all this, and to hear it as often as possible is the only thing that keeps me from thinking that we are all madly insane. Because there are— that there is a good reason why we serve.
With all my love and millions of kisses to my two dearest women.

Let the sunshine in. From Sunshine State News Poll:
In one of the most closely watched U.S. House races in the nation, Republican Daniel Webster now holds a 7-point lead over Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson in Central Florida's 8th Congressional District, according to a new Sunshine State News Poll.
"It's his character to say foolish things, and he doesn't handle stress well. He'll see this poll and get more desperate," said Gaitens…
Female voters are anything but ambivalent about Grayson — "They really loathe him," Lee reported. With Grayson's 33/53 favorable/unfavorable rating among women, Webster's lead among females is much stronger (45/33 over Grayson) compared to a statistical tie (41/40 Webster) among males.
But wait! There's more?
But take heart; the latest Sunshine State Poll was conducted mainly before the smear in the "Taliban Dan" ad was exposed and widely condemned, which means Grayson may still be hurtling downward.

Lean Culture Change
Recently, I had the opportunity to tour a local company that does sheet metal work. The company does not advertise being lean, although they are a part of our lean consortium. When you walk in the manufacturing facility you would be surprised at what you DON'T see. There aren't 5S markings or visual production boards or kanban levels anywhere to be seen.
What the company is doing is the hard work. The are working to change their culture. They are focusing on it everyday from the leadership down to the floor.
The company is Webco Manufacturing.
What they have done is come up with The Webco Way. Thirty-one fundamentals for everyone to focus on improving. Here are just a few:
- Do the right thing
- Check your ego at the door
- Take ownership
- Practice blameless problem solving
- Be process oriented
- Continuously improve everything you do
- Embrace change
These are just a few. I encourage you to visit Webco's website to see the complete list and a description of each.
You might think 31 is a lot to remember. I did too, but it is working for them. They focus on one fundamental every single day.
A fundamental is chosen for the week. A member of the leadership team sends out their perspective of the fundamental for the week every Sunday night to everyone with e-mail in the company. During the week, every meeting consisting of more than 2 people is started by reading the quick description of the fundamental and giving an example of how it is brought to life.
This includes meetings with supplier and customers. The meeting could be 1 Webco employee and 5 suppliers but they will start the meeting with the fundamental of the week. This is to let customers and suppliers know what they are trying to do and helps to drive the same expectations from their customers and suppliers.
Webco may not claim to be lean, but the culture they are driving and the way they are going about it sure seems like a lean culture to me.
What are your thoughts?
Book Review: Value Stream Mapping
Karen Martin and Mike Osterling are consultants that have been helping companies with seeing their business through a different lens. Karen and Mike have co-authored two books in the past: The Kaizen Event Planner, a well written how-to guide for planning, executing and following up after a kaizen event and Metrics-Based Process Mapping, a how-to for using key metrics to analyze and improve processes. Value Stream Mapping is their third book together and again they have done a fantastic job.
Name of the Book: Value Stream Mapping: How to Visualize Work and Align Leadership for Organizational Transformation
Author: Karen Martin and Mike Osterling
Publication Date: December 2013
Book description: what's the key message?
Karen and Mike explain the in's and out's of understanding and completing a value stream map. They discuss how a value stream map is a tool that can help senior leaders and executives see their business in a new way. A transformative way.
Karen and Mike take the reader through all the steps. They explain the importance of setting the stage prior to the starting the value stream map in order to enable success in changing the business. Karen and Mike also walk the reader through the best ways to understand the current state of the business and the importance of understanding the current reality no matter how sobering it is. Next they walk the reader through developing the future state and then the transformation plan.
This book is not just a "Go do it this way," book. The book is very complete and explains why the process they describe works.
What are the highlights? What works?
Most people miss the main point of value stream maps. They are about changing the mindsets of an organization through building a strategic direction with a lean lens. Karen and Mike do a great of reiterating this point throughout the book.
If you have never seen or been through a value stream mapping session this book is a great guide. The explanations are spot on. Karen and Mike hit on the most important metrics that can be used on a value stream map in order to get the most out of it. They explain how the map is not complete without the metrics, which is something a lot of people will leave off when doing the map.
The examples of value stream maps in the back of the book can help a reader with guidance in building their own. I know they are in the appendices but it is worth it to study all the examples.
The book also has a link to a downloadable charter and transformation plan templates. I found them to be very helpful.
What are the weaknesses? What's missing?
The book is very well done. Not only a step-by-step but a great explanation of why for each step. There is one thought that I believe is missing in doing a value stream map. That is the concept and discussion around ideal state.
When doing a value stream map, I find invaluable to have a discussion on the difference between ideal state (perfection) and future state (somewhere between current state and ideal state). Usually, this discussion takes place after building the current state map. The team writes out bullet points of what the ideal state would look like. After that is completed, then build the future state. The ideal state discussion helps to stretch the thinking of the team and as Karen and Mike put it "help change the DNA of the organization."
Having a direct conversation around ideal state is a step that I feel is important and I wish Karen and Mike would have spent some time on in the book.
How should I read this to get the most out of it?
The book can be used in two ways. One way is by someone that has been tasked to help an organization create a value stream map. It can be used as a learning text book. It can help the reader learn the in's and out's of creating a value stream map and give them guidance. Or even as a refresher for an experienced value stream map facilitator.
Another way for the book to be used is as an education piece for executives and senior leaders that want to change their business. It can help them understand their role in the value stream transformation process and how they can help the facilitator before, during and after a mapping session.
Kudos to Karen and Mike for another great book.
Dilbert – Type in All Caps
OK. So this post really doesn't have much to do with lean. I just found this Dilbert cartoon hysterical.
We could talk about the lack of respect Wally shows his boss by leading him into a potentially awkward situation with another person at work. I prefer to find the humor in people that TYPE IN ALL CAPS NO MATTER WHAT THEY ARE SENDING.
What? I couldn't read all of that. Some of it was in lower case letters.
Have a great day!
True Coaching Takes Investment
The term coach is thrown around a lot in a business setting. Too much in my opinion. Any time spent with someone giving advice or direction is called coaching nowadays. It sounds great when you say you spent time "coaching" someone.
Coaching is more than giving advice. Coaching is an investment in time to really help them along.
Think of any athletic coach you may have had. Basketball, football, tennis, golf, swimming, etc.. Did you ever spend 30 minutes with that person in a café getting advice on a rare occasion and end up calling them coach? Of course not.
Why? Because coaching takes time. You have to spend time in the with the person in the environment you are coaching on and observe and make suggestions as you go along.
Anything else is advice. There is a big difference between giving advice and coaching.
Because of the time investment, a person can't coach many people in the business environment. The best thing to do is focus on coaching a person or two. Don't spread yourself thin as a coach because then no one wins. The learner doesn't get your full attention and does not learn and grow nearly as much. The coach will never see the fruit of their labor come to fruition because the learner never reaches their full potential.
Think about this before taking someone on as their coach. Are you going to be able to devote the time truly necessary to help them along?
Blog Carnival Annual Roundup 2013 – Lean Blitz
At the end of the year, John Hunter does a great job of facilitating an annual roundup of business and lean blogs at Curious Cat Management. The roundup is a review of blogs by other bloggers. This year I have the honor of participating in the Blog Carnival Annual Roundup.
A blog that I discovered a couple of years ago was Lean Blitz written by Chad Walters. I like Chad's unique way of relating lean and continuous improvement to the sports world, because there are plenty of examples throughout sports to do this.
Take the respect for people as an example. The NFL was ripe with instances of disrespect this year, from the Miami Dolphins' handling of the bullying in their locker room to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' unclean locker room leading to three players getting MSRA infections. Not only in the NFL but in college also. This post talks about Coach Kelly at Notre Dame not listening to his players when something was wrong with the gauntlet machine. Chad tackles the issue head on in his posts.
Another topic on the blog is error proofing. Chad talks about how Clemson and Notre Dame handled a color out night at their school for a football game. Clemson was a huge success while Notre Dame not so much. He shows some of the differences. Another favorite is how sprinklers popped up in the middle of an NFL game at the end of last year.
Chad has created a unique blog at Lean Blitz. It is a fun and different way to demonstrate lean principles in action in any environment.
Should All Customer Feedback Be Transparent to Others?
Is all customer feedback accurate? Should all customer feedback be displayed?
My first reaction was absolutely all feedback should be displayed. This is great transparency and help drive improvement. If you don't want negative customer feedback then provide a good experience.
I now have changed my tune a bit. I do believe that customer feedback should be transparent, even the negative. What I don't believe is that all feedback should be displayed because there is some of it that is flat out wrong.
It is one thing to have your business not provide a positive experience and actual events posted about that versus an experience that is just not the case. This is easier to monitor and see in small businesses.
The ideal state is that no bad experiences happen and a customer never receives bad quality product. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. If a customer receives a product they are not happy with the provider should have a chance to correct the situation.
In recent months, I have seen where customers are posting negative comments on small businesses that are flat out lies. Either talking about the business not working with them to correct a situation when the customer never even contacted the business to correct the situation or describing a defect that is not even physically possible with that product.
Understanding unsatisfied customers is a great thing to help improve your business. False information that can damage a business is just wrong.
So when using the customer reviews, you must be cautious with what you read. Understand all the feedback and try to make an educated decision. Heck. Even contact the business and ask questions to help you feel more comfortable.
Isn't Saying 'Thank You' Part of Respect for People
A pillar of lean that is discussed regularly across blogs is the respect for people. Steve Roesler, at All Things Workplace, posted a great blog about just saying 'thank you.'
Research by UK performance improvement consultants Maritz has found that almost one in five of us (19 per cent) have never been thanked for our efforts at work while more than a third only hear those two little words once or twice a year.
Perhaps not-entirely coincidentally, that's about the same proportion as another recent survey found have no loyalty towards the organisation they work for and couldn't care less about their job.
Steve goes on to conclude:
Executives need to start thanking their managers regularly. Then they need to tell them to start thanking their people. Maybe we could get uppity and call it "Building a Culture of Thanks." Clearly, it would be more effective and less costly than conferences and software.
This is just a part of respecting people. Too many times, people get taken for granted even when they do great work consistently.
It isn't hard to say 'thank you'. It takes two seconds and it can go along way in showing that you have noticed and you care. You respect their work and time.
Surround Yourself with Good People
Lean organizations work to develop people. Continually, helping people to improve their skills and give them new experiences. When you do this well, these people will shine and really make you shine.
This isn't just managers that have people that report directly to them. This is also for project managers that are managing people for a short period of time. By fostering the development and encouraging them to make choices with coaching and guidance, you surround yourself with good people. This makes work and projects go smoother and deliver the outcomes you desire.
What are you doing to foster the people around you? How are you helping to surround yourself with good people?
I know that in today's world there seems to be a lot more innovation happening. If you are innovating you are dying. At least that is what you are led to believe. Companies now are requiring employees to sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) just to work on a new project within the company.
How are we going to produce this new product? Sign an NDA.
What new products are we working on? Sign an NDA.
How will we work as a new organization and what will it look like? Sign an NDA.
NDAs are being signed for any significant work and it seems to be getting worse with the work environment today.
I find this to violate one major tenet of lean. Respect for People.
The NDAs don't allow for people to discuss the project internally with other members for the company. This screams "We don't trust you enough to let you know about this without reacting inappropriately."
This counter productive to being transparent, which is discussed at great lengths with showing respect for people.
Imagine the scenario of developing a new product or program but it can't be discussed openly until it is about ready to roll out. Does the company truly not trust their employees enough that it won't be blabbed all over the internet?
Rumors always swirl. Rumors tend to lean towards the negative. Why not get out in front of it? Why not control it? Explain the new product/program. How the company expects it to help and why it came about. This gets a good message out and reduces the rumors. It shows the trust and respect for the employees. It makes for a better work environment.
I understand there is a time and place for NDAs. Just evaluate how often you are using them and really question yourself to understand if it is truly necessary.
Employee Engagement Starting to Be Recognized
It looks like others are finally catching on to something the lean community has been talking about for years. Employee engagement benefits companies in many ways. The article talks about how employee engagement does more than just boost productivity. It helps with absenteeism, delivering company results and turnover rate.
Jim Harter Ph.D., a chief scientist at Gallup Research explained what engaged employees do differently in an email interview: "Engaged employees are more attentive and vigilant. They look out for the needs of their coworkers and the overall enterprise, because they personally 'own' the result of their work and that of the organization."
Makes perfect sense, doesn't it? If you are engaged and part of the solution and the work then you pay attention and take it personally.
Harter also reiterates things the lean community has been trying to get people to understand for year.
Engaged employees "listen to the opinions of people close to the action (close to actual safety issues and quality or defect issues), and help people see the connection between their everyday work and the larger purpose or mission of the organization." When engaged employee do this they create a virtuous circle where communication and collaboration nurture engagement and vice versa.
I appreciate the studies Harter has done, but why do we need studies to know and understand all of this. Lean organizations did read a study and then engage their people. Lean organizations engaged their people out of respect. Looking at people as more than just 'hands and feet.' When they did they saw all these benefits. Lean organizations have been trying to tell others this for years.
It is amazing that studies have to be done to understand this 'phenomenon'.
So how can we engage our people?
One way to simplify it is to focus on purpose. Communicate the purpose of the organization, and how employees' individual purposes fit into that purpose. When employees "clearly know their role, have what they need to fulfill their role, and can see the connection between their role and the overall organizational purpose," says Harter, that's the recipe for creating greater levels of engagement.
Well said.
How are you engaging your people?


text: Just don't. I mean if you're in a relationship, it's not cute or funny in any way for you to go off and flirt with someone else. You're with someone who is possibly hurting or jealous, because you go off and do such things. Sometimes, this person you're with will say it's okay, but it's because they put up with it, only because they adore you to pieces, they love/like you a lot.

People who say "I'm not racist but…", lol just stop right there, shut the fuck up and change it to "I'm racist and I wanted to say…"
When a girls Facebook is hacked by a guy and the guy writes something like "I love dick" as the girls status. Why doesn't the girl just delete it the second she sees it? instead of commenting the status saying "OMG IV BEEN HACKED!!1!11!" The longer she keeps it up there just proves how much of an attention seeker she is that most probably does "love dick".
Rant over.
Lol this girl I have on fb that gets like 70-80 likes on each photo she has, wrote up a status saying "if this status gets 50 likes I'll upload a picture of my toes :P"….and yes it got 50 likes and yes she uploaded a pointless picture of her toes…honestly WHAT THE FUCK. And yeh that's it.
There was about 15 statuses all about if they do or don't support gay marriages and all of them had like a 50 + argument going on..and right now its 2:23 am and there is one going off as we speak lol

Jumbo Breakfast CookiesJumbo Breakfast Cookies
Recipe DescriptionA Cookie that would be great for Breakfast on the goPreparation Steps:Level of Difficulty:EasyTime Needed:1 hourIngredients:1 1/4 cups sugarServes:
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 egg
1 1/2 cups Gold Medal® all-purpose or whole wheat flour
1 cup old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats
1 cup raisins
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 cups Cheerios® cereal1 cookieDirections:1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 egg
1 1/2 cups Gold Medal® all-purpose or whole wheat flour
1 cup old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats
1 cup raisins
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 cups Cheerios® cereal
1. Heat oven to 375°F.
2. In large bowl, stir together sugar, butter, peanut butter, water, vanilla and egg. Stir in remaining ingredients except cereal. Gently stir in cereal. On ungreased large cookie sheet, drop dough by rounded 1/2 cupfuls (rounded 1/3 cupfuls for 15 cookies) 4 inches apart. Flatten dough to about 1 inch thick. (Bake these crispy cookies as soon as the dough is mixed. Letting the dough stand awhile or refrigerating the dough will make the cookies softer.)
3. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before removing from cookie sheet. Store loosely covered.
Tips from the kitchen
Success Hint:
It's important to let these cookies cool on cookie sheets before removing--they can easily break into pieces while warm.
Do you think that this recipe would still work if I omitted the peanut butter? (DD#1 has a severe peanut/nut allergy.)If you will live like no one else, later you can live like no one else.

Asian markets cautiously awaiting key US data
Thursday - 11/7/2013, 3:26am EST
Associated Press
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) -- Asian stock markets were mostly weaker Thursday, with a cautious mood prevailing ahead of key U.S. data that will provide further clues on when the Federal Reserve will cut monetary stimulus.
Japan's Nikkei 225 shed 0.7 percent to 14,238.95 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng was down 0.8 percent at 22,864.59. China's Shanghai Composite fell 0.3 percent to 2,134.27 and Seoul's Kospi dipped 0.5 percent to 2002.85.
Benchmarks in Taiwan and Australia were also lower but Singapore, Jakarta and India bucked the trend.
Stan Shamu, market strategist for IG in Melbourne, Australia, said investors are staying on the sidelines ahead of the release of the advance estimate of U.S. third quarter economic growth later Thursday and October jobs figures on Friday.
Both reports could signal how much longer the Federal Reserve will continue its bond purchases at the current $85 billion a month rate. That program has held down interest rates, kept bond yields low and made stocks more attractive for investors.
Market expectations are also growing that the European Central Bank and the Bank of England may disappoint and not cut interest rates at policy meetings Thursday to shore up a recovery from recession, he said.
"With two central banks, a U.S. GDP and jobs report all due out, we were always bound to see some nervous trading," Shamu said.
DBS Vickers in Hong Kong said in a market commentary that the ECB is likely to put off rate cuts amid a pick-up in production and confidence, but it may open the door for possible easing in December when it releases its quarterly economic projections,
On Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average climbed 0.8 percent to a record close of 15,746.88 on Wednesday. The S&P 500 index rose 0.4 percent, to 1,770.49, just one point below its all-time high set Oct. 29.
Benchmark crude for December delivery was up 15 cents at $94.95 in electronic trading at the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose $1.43 to close at $94.80 a barrel on Wednesday.
The euro rose to $1.3517 from $1.3510 late Wednesday. The dollar was unchanged at 98.65 yen.

By Joy Hinman
Late last month, rain and heavy snow melt in the mountains caused the rivers and creeks in southern Alberta to cut a wide swath of devastation along low lying areas in villages and cities. Floods washed out bridges, ruined roads and rail tracks; turned streets into rivers, flooded homes and businesses, left behind a heavy deposit of mud and debris. They cut a wider path – even for those not in the river valleys – by disrupting electricity, phone, internet, gas lines, water, and sewage services. For their own safety, thousands of people were evacuated – to find temporary shelter in community centers, school gyms, and homes of friends, family or strangers elsewhere.
The move was urgent and sudden. People left behind irreplaceable valuables, such as family photos, important papers and documents, and sometimes family pets. Once they were evacuated there was the stress of uncertainty and the long wait – When can I go home again? What will I find when I get back there? Will we be able to live in our house again? The wait for some folks has been over two weeks, before it was safe even to go back and assess the damages.
What is not so evident in the photos of the physical damage is what happens inside the human spirit. Many authorities call it Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) –similar to the effects on people in war zones. It is considered today as an assault on mental health.
Different flood victims reacted differently to the destruction.
Some were in shock, helpless or frustrated to the extreme. Others came through the worst of situations with a hopeful attitude, and even a sense of humor intact. The community came together to help! And, in coming together, everyone experienced not only relief but also improved well being.
A grocery store in the next town was flooded – waters reaching higher than they ever had before. The manager had sandbagged outside his store, as well as within. That action prevented his whole store from being flooded. The next day he and his wife said with conviction: "We'll be open for business by next Monday." And that's how it was! Their business had given much to the community, and now when the flood waters receded, volunteers from the community worked long hours to clear mud inside and outside.
Volunteers in all communities sprang into action – motivated to help flood victims as shown in this inspiring article from canada.com.
While organizations like the Red Cross, civic and provincial governments organized much help, social media was also a powerful tool for people finding individuals or communities to help. Some came from a long distance to help people they did not know. What a boost to the mental wellbeing of those in the floods.
The Government of Alberta Health Services is reaching out to the community. It has put its mental health professional team out into the affected areas to help people with flood-related mental health issues.
Among helpful recommendations for recovery it suggests: Connect with family, friends, community. Accept what has changed. Look for the positive – including taking part in spiritual activities, socializing, or spending time in nature. Positive experiences can help you recover. When you feel appreciation or gratitude, your body responds and it is good for you.
They also remind people to remember that they are not alone.
PTSD is not inevitable. Some people stay "up" in spite of it all.
A flooded neighbor lady said "It is not the flood waters that overwhelmed me. It is all the kindness and generosity of volunteers who are helping us. … Some brought heavy equipment to move mud, and some brought meals." She has stayed calm. Her husband showed a remarkable spirit of humor. He said with a grin, "When this whole thing has settled down, I think I'll call all the kids to have a scavenger hunt to see what we'll find. Maybe we'll find our antique table that got washed away with our shed. There's all kinds of stuff down there in the woods now."
These individuals are not under the flood. They're on top of it! And the volunteers have helped keep them up. Once again it is proof of the "Golden Rule" in the Bible (also found in other sacred texts), where Jesus said to do unto others as you would have them do to you. A comment by Dr. Barry Wiser – a clinical psychologist in Nova Scotia — confirms what studies are finding out about the impact giving and doing good has on people "Humans evolved as compassionate creatures. Today, the tendency to be kind to others is wired into us. We're all programmed to have the ability to be empathetic." Wiser also said, "So we feel good when we do something for someone else, and our experiences will continue to shape that." You can read the rest of his comments HERE
The volunteer motivation and action is good for the people caught in the floods, and it's good for the health of the volunteers too.

WASHINGTON (UPI) — While President Obama's 2015 budget request includes $169 million in new funding for offshore energy, the oil industry said there was nothing new in the deal.
President Obama released his budget proposal Tuesday that seeks $3.9 trillion in spending.
Tommy Beaudreau, director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, said $169 million in funding for his department would help it manage offshore energy development, including lease sales for oil and gas reserves on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf.
"The president's [budget] request reflects careful analysis of the resources needed to advance renewable and conventional energy, manage non-energy OCS mineral resources and invest in what's needed to grow the economy," he said in a statement Tuesday.
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) called the budget request "irresponsible."
Jack Gerard, president of the American Petroleum Institute, which enjoys Republican support, said Obama is "recycling" previous requests to increase taxes on the oil and natural gas sector.
"Higher energy taxes would set back the president's own goal of addressing income inequality and undermine his ability to achieve his climate goals," he said in a statement.
Obama said in a statement the budget ensures "the middle class can feel secure in their jobs, homes, and budgets."

Great Gandma's Gifts
Author: Marianne Jones
Picture Book: unpaged
Language: English
List price: $10 paperback
Reviewed By: Janice D. Green
Great-Grandma's Gifts is a children's book after my heart. My earliest memories of my mother are of her sewing clothes, and like Arlene's mother, she gave me scraps to play with. So I quickly related to Arlene who learned to love to sew at a very early age. This gentle book begins with Arlene's childhood and shows how she grew up using her love for sewing to give joy to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren with gifts of stuffed toys, dolls, and quilts.
Author Marianne Jones describes the fabrics with word choices and repetition that children will love. The pictures have a soft nostalgic feel that will appeal to the very young, and especially to girls. The opening two-page spread seems a bit wordy for young children, and boys may not take to the story line as quickly as girls. But many will come to treasure Arlene's spirit of giving home-sewn gifts to her family.
I give Great Gandma's Gifts four s out of a possible five.
I received this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest, though not necessarily positive, review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's CFR Title 16, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."

Welp. Next season will be the last for True Blood. Shame. I thought the end of this season did a great job getting back to the core of True Blood-why it was so successful in year one. It was a little southern Gothic drama about a crazy Southern town full of lovable nuts. Like Hoyt's mom and Andy Bellefleur. And oh, by the way, there was a group of repressed individuals fighting against a white, christian majority. It wasn't witches and faeries and vampire gods and werewolves. It was family and it was love. It was (spoiler alert) Terry's funeral this episode.
I will certainly miss seeing Eric every week in the summer.

Hey, tumblr. Guess what? You won. Im back here because Im back at a state where I got no one to share things with anymore. Someone that I thought I share isn't really there anymore.
Well, is partly my fault. Yes, partly. Just not the same anymore. Is like I cant be myself freely. I have to be someone that I have to keep on improving. Being so called like perfect. Anyway, it is always better to change yourself. Improve yourself and be ready to that "one". Jia you.

With all the press he's received, AD-70 GOP candidate Steven Choi has likelu zoomed ahead of Jerry Amante and Don Wagner for AD-70 by issuing a very Rep. Joe Wilson-like call for funds from his Pelosi-is-Stalin stunt. Choi's whiney Letter to the Editor is in this morning's OC Register. But tell Choi what you really…
Make 2010 the Year of the Fox in CA AD-70
by Dan Chmielewski •
With voters in NY23 rejecting a hard right wing idealogue, perhaps voters in AD-70 can do the same next year and cast a ballot for Melissa Fox against two hard core right wingers who desire to out-conservative each other. A Right-Wing Extremist or Melissa Fox? In November of 2008, voters in our district chose Obama,…

Service rating : Great price, great customer service, trip notes need updatingProduct: Fantastic trip, excellent guides who were very friendly, knowledgable and helpfull, excellent food, brilliant cook, can't complain about anything
service was the excellent and the adventure company was good
Service rating : GoodProduct: The trip notes need improving with a kit list and better explanations of what is involved. We all agreed on this.
Service rating : Loved it, well organised and value for moneyProduct: Very cultural as well as a great trek and two big mountain summits, good helpful guides, who looked after us, all round excellent trip !!!
Great local guides, really helpful & friendly.
Service rating : Brill trip, could not fault it one bit. The guide was a good advert for your company.Product: Will be looking to book another adventure company holiday soon.
Service rating : Good customer service.Product: Well organised trip. Effectively run by our guide Mohammed who also provided us with great insights on Morocco. It all made for a very enjoyable trip (+the food was great too!).
Service rating : This is the second trip I have been on with the adventure company, the first trip to Kilimanjaro was excellent and in some respect the second trip to ToubKal was the same, excellent guides, excellent food and in fact the parts that took place abroad were fab.
The organisation in the UK let the trip down, with technology faults and a 'parrot fashion' approach to customer service rather than the family service provided on the first trip.Product: As before, the product I received the holiday was excellent, well planned and executed with excellent guides. The UK customer service from booking the holiday to arranging insurance has dropped since my last trip.
I was convinced that I would be booking a third holiday with them however now knowing their new company links and the reduced variety of trips in favour of more commercially beneficial trips and larger group sizes I will not be rebooking. Please go back to a bespoke individually friendly customer service not a one type fits all attitude.
Service rating : Good service thanksProduct: Two excellent local guides as well as a compentent cook. Very pleased, thank you
Service rating : Everything was well organisedProduct: Excellent trip- well organise, great guides, amazing scenery and very nice food (I am a vegetarian and was well catered for)
Service rating : No problems with booking and any query was dealt with promptly.Product: Good tour howver the schedule could be rearranged to allow more acclimatization before summit day. Also rooms too cramped, living on top of each other, tents would be an option.
To long and a lot of wasted time

Bret Michaels, born Bret Michael Sychak on March 15, 1963, is the lead vocalist of the band Poison, as well as a reality TV star and judge with a net worth of $12 million. His career as a musician with Poison began in 1983, and the band became one of the biggest 80s hair metal bands in the world with several hits, and a multi-platinum album, Open Up and Say…Ahh! Michaels recorded his first solo album in 19998, A Letter from Death Row, the soundtrack to a movie we directed, wrote, and starred in. In 2003 he released Songs From Life. He also served as a judge in the 2005 season of the reality singing competition Nashville Star, and released another album that same year, Freedom of Sound.
Alongside his first season of the VH1 reality TV show "Rock Of Love," where Michaels searched for the next love in his life, he released the album Rock My World in June of 2008. The album made the Billboard top 200 chart, and was #4 on the Independent Albums chart. Later that year he released the single "Driven," which featured clips from the second season of his VH1 show, Rock of Love Bus, in the music video. He then released a DVD "Hard & Heavy confidential featuring Bret Michaels," including interviews and acoustic versions of many hit singles including "Every Rose Has Its Thorn." Michaels also held a third season of the show Rock of Love, as all three seasons were unsuccessful at finding a "rock of love."

Middas, 4th of Sun's Dusk
Mercer wants to go to a ruin called Snow Veil Sanctum.
With me, just me. Not Brynjolf or Vex or Delvin.
He actually ordered me to move immediately.
"We can't let Karliah slip through our fingers."
I tried to tell Brynjolf about this but he brushed me off saying "Sorry lass, important things to do. We'll speak again some other time." And I wonder if Mercer already told him.
This has sent up more then one red flag in my head but he's the Guildmaster and who am I to dispute him? Still, once I finish re-packing I'll get moving.
"Delvin? I was hoping you could help me."
"Have a drink," he motions at Vekel, "what can I do for you sweetheart?"
"Is there a way to shake off the Dark Brotherhood?" I'd been thinking about this for awhile, the right way to ask. But I just blurt it out and he starts laughing.
"Oh— Oh, you're serious. Why are you asking? For who?"
I take out a dozen or so bounties and set them down in front of him.
I could have shown him just one, they all say the same thing. All of them have my name printed on them.
He says he'll talk to some people but due to his reaction, I'm not holding out much hope.

Book Description:Since 1995, the noncontact atomic force microscope (NC-AFM) has achieved remarkable progress. Based on nanomechanical methods, the NC-AFM detects the weak attractive force between the tip of a cantilever and a sample surface. This method has the following characteristics: it has true atomic resolution; it can measure atomic force interactions, i.e. it can be used in so-called atomic force spectroscopy (AFS); it can also be used to study insulators; and it can measure mechanical responses such as elastic deformation. This is the first book that deals with all of the emerging NC-AFM issues.
