November 27, 2014
MANITOWOC, Wis. (AP) -- Manitowoc County has reduced the number of employee spouses that it insures by more than half under new rules for health care coverage.
County supervisors approved rules in their 2014 budget that bars working spouses from receiving coverage if they can get low-cost insurance through their own jobs.
A report released this week by the county's personnel department shows 126 spouses are no longer eligible for coverage under those rules. It says about 100 spouses can stay on the county's insurance.
Personnel Director Sharon Cornils tells HTR Media that most of those spouses do not have access to affordable health care coverage through their employers.
Many private companies stopped insuring spouses who were eligible for insurance through their employers as the new health care law went into effect.

Global pro bono programs—a focus on the transfer of skills, not the forcing of solutions
In many cases, corporate "global pro bono" programs are able to deliver real, tangible good in the communities in which they operate. How are they able to do this? By focusing not on "dropping in a solution," but rather on "the transfer of skills," according to Deirdre White, the CEO of PYXERA Global.
White focused on this topic of the global pro bono in her talk at American University's School of International Service on October 14 (a talk organized by my co-author, Sherry). Deirdre (also a profilee in Working World) and PYXERA work with corporations around the world to develop and implement corporate, cross-border social programs that work to contribute the corporate employees' skill sets to a local program or project. Since 2008, PYXERA has worked with 26 corporations, sending 8,000 employees (usually for a month) to 80 countries on five continents. This is impressive. Read the rest of this entry »

The mid-career melt, or Enjoy your adventure this week
I recently spent the weekend with a close college friend, Brian. My university buddies are scattered around the country and world, so any chance to spend a few days with them (as individuals or a group) is rare and cherished. During our time talking and catching up, Brian and I realized that, as we both approach our mid-thirties, we're each feeling a sense of stasis, a stagnancy that's hard to pinpoint but is clearly present. It's a professional stagnancy, it's a personal stagnancy, it's a combination of both.
Both of us have good jobs we enjoy. We are both married to awesome people. We have supportive families, good homes, plenty of books to read and music to listen to, a college football team that's finally doing well again…so what's with the complaining? Fair enough.
We realized this stagnancy comes from reaching the end of that first ladder, the "young professional" ladder, and not knowing where to climb next. As scary as being a young professional can be—with all of its requisite challenges and uncertainty—I'm realizing that entering mid-career territory comes with its own set of difficulties. I'm no longer worried about getting my first job, or paying my rent with a meager entry level salary, or learning how to move from operating in an academic environment to a professional one.

Corporate volunteerism with Deirdre White of PYXERA Global
I'm very pleased to be hosting a conversation next Tuesday, October 14th with Deirdre White, President and CEO of PYXERA Global (and a profilee in the second edition of Working World). Deirdre is a renowned leader in the field of international economic development and will be speaking on the topic of "corporate volunteerism: the nexus between citizen diplomacy and development."
In addition to its international development work, PYXERA is also the base for the Center for Citizen Diplomacy. I served as one of the founding board members of the Center and now am honored to continue as a board member of PYXERA Global.

Interesting job opening: Director of Alumni Engagement at World Learning
I wanted to pass along this very interesting position that just became available: Director of Alumni Engagement at World Learning. As the idea of alumni engagement becomes increasingly recognized–by nongovernmental and governmental entities–as an essential way to extend the impact of exchange programs, I won't be surprised to see more and more of these kinds of positions being created/coming available.
Note preference for someone who has participated in a World Learning Program.

"How much alcohol can you handle?" and other awkward interview questions
On the heels of Sherry's great post that included discussion of employer perception during interviews (i.e., how are tattoos and piercings perceived during an interview?), I was intrigued by this article over at QZ.com: awkward questions asked during Korean job interview, including:
- Are you dating anyone?
- How long does it take you to do your makeup?
- How much alcohol can you handle?
- What do you plan on spending your first paycheck on?
Although the article notes that such personal questions are no longer typically asked in interviews at Korean companies, the reason they were ever asked in the first place is illuminating: to get a sense of the job applicant as a person and determine whether he or she would fit into company culture.
Working in a small organization with a staff of only four, I'm keenly aware that personal fit matters. When we hire, we're looking for someone who is not only smart and skilled and accomplished, someone who can get the job done, but also someone who will mesh well with the team. We don't all have to be best friends, but it is important that we are cohesive both professionally and personally. Our performance as an organization depends on it.
And thus our interviews reflect this fact. We ask questions that are not awkwardly personal or borderline inappropriate, like those listed in the article, but ones that are meant to draw out personal interests and activities, especially those related to our industry. Talk about a particularly meaningful experience during your time studying abroad. Where did you go on your most recent international trip? If you could study one language you don't currently speak, what would it be? What's the last book you read and would you recommend it? (That last one's not international, but I think it's an interesting conversation starter anyway.)
The point is that anyone prepping for an interview would do well to prepare for some personal discussion. No need to disclose your dating history or your drinking prowess—but if you can talk compellingly about some of your personal interests, and paint a fuller picture of yourself as a person beyond the professional realm, you're more likely to make an impression in an employer's mind as someone they want to work with.

A strong sense of service
One of the joys of traveling around the country promoting the second edition of Working World is that I have the opportunity to meet with extraordinary young people who already have a strong sense of wanting to be of service. I share the comments of the New Visions high school group (and their teacher) whom I wrote about last week less because of their positive comments about my presentation (although I greatly appreciate them), and more because of what their comments say about them and what they hope to achieve. It is always heartening to get beyond the beltway and beyond the headlines to restore one's perspective and renew hope.
We are often buffeted by so much bad news and tragedy that is is instructive to be reminded that there are many fine young people getting ready to be a force for good in our turbulent world.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I learned a lot about the interview process I didn't ever think of and in the future I know that will be helpful when starting a career.

A spirited discussion with students in Albany
Last week I enjoyed giving my first series of presentations on the second edition of Working World. Diane Conroy-LaCivita, the Executive Director of the International Center of the Capital Region in Albany, NY (a member of Global Ties U.S.), organized a great schedule. It included appearances at Siena College, The School of Public Health (University at Albany), and The Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza. The Book House is a welcoming and independent bookstore with many appealing books, games, and book related items. (I did my part for the New York economy by shopping after the discussion, which focused more on issues relevant to mid-career professionals.)
The photo below was taken after a lively discussion about careers and Working World at the Center for Global Health at the University at Albany. This group of high school seniors – participating in a "New Visions" advanced placement enrichment program—has already decided that they want some kind of career in global health. It was truly a privilege to share the structure and highlights of Working World with them. The Q&A section morphed into a spirited dialogue. They asked some thought-provoking questions. Mark and I welcome your answers to these questions.
Q: How are tattoos and piercings perceived during an interview?
A: Various managers will react differently. In my opinion, however, you do not want to distract the person interviewing you from focusing in on your experience and abilities. I remember interviewing someone with a tongue piercing and my mind kept drifting away from what she was saying. I kept wondering, "Does that hurt?" It's always best to err on the conservative side until you can assess the culture of a particular organization.
Q: What is your greatest regret regarding your career? Read the rest of this entry »

Close Up Encounters
On a recent flight from Washington, DC, to Minneapolis, I enjoyed one of those now rare occasions—they used to happen quite often—when I had an interesting conversation with my seat partner. In this time of headphones, ear buds, and other cocoon-creating tech devices, it was fun to exchange ideas once again with a random stranger.
Being co-author of a book on careers, I am keenly interested in ways people make a living, how they view their jobs, and the extent to which they deliberate about their careers.
The conversation began the way so many in Washington, DC, start. I asked, "What do you do?" My seat partner replied: "I work for an organization that brings high school students to Washington, DC, for a week's immersion in government." "The Close Up Foundation?" I guessed. "Yes," he replied. I then learned a great deal more about this remarkable nonprofit organization founded in 1971. When I worked as a program officer at the Institute of International Education (IIE) early in my career, I often scheduled appointments with Close Up staff for participants in the (then USIA sponsored) International Visitor Program. It was the ideal meeting for foreign leaders interested in how young Americans learn to participate in a democracy. I even remember thinking at the time it would be rewarding to work for Close Up.
My seatmate was Jon Gerst who started at Close Up as a program instructor in 2010, advanced to program leader, and now serves as an Outreach Representative as of last August. Jon travels around the country—and sometimes to U.S. territories, such as Guam, as well as other countries—meeting with teachers and principals to help recruit the 16,000 students who participate in Close Up programs each year. Most programs (one teacher per ten students) begin on Sunday and end on the following Friday evening. Activities range from a day on Capitol Hill to Embassy visits.
"Inform, Inspire, Empower" is the Close Up mantra. Learn more at www.closeup.org.
When I asked Jon what he liked best about his job, Jon noted he totally embraced the mission. "I love that students from around the country learn to tackle weighty issues with in-person civil conversations." He works with teachers who become community activists, not just for one week, but all year long. We agreed that it is vitally important for young people to get engaged in the political process.
"What characteristics do you need to work for Close Up?" I asked. Jon answered: "The ability to improvise and be quick on your feet, a willingness to work long and hard, and open-mindedness. You must not write anyone off too quickly. This is surely a set of traits any employer would appreciate."

Second edition of Working World is out!
Sherry and I so pleased that we can now announce: the second edition of Working World: Careers in International Education, Exchange, and Development is out! We had a wonderful time working together again, and hope that you find this new edition — complete with many new resources, new concepts, and new profiles of compelling professionals — to be a valuable addition to our field.
We're thankful to have again had the opportunity to work with our excellent colleagues at Georgetown University Press. The new edition is available for sale on their website, and they've been kind enough to pass along a 30% discount code for friends and readers of the Working World site (TX54).
Speaking of this site: while it's been dormant for quite some time, Sherry and I are committed to re-activating it in a compelling way! (You can see from Sherry's previous post she's already getting started.) So be sure to check back to this space for lively discussions, interesting links, profiles of professionals in our fields, and much more!

Knowledge of Protocol: Building Block for an International Career
Some international careers require an in-depth knowledge of protocol. My friend, Benedicte Valentiner, is a good example. She served four presidents as general manager of Blair House. Her book with the title Bedtime and Other Stories from the President's Guest House is a great read for those interested in the care and feeding of world leaders.
Many international jobs require at least a rudimentary knowledge of protocol. There are scary examples of international incidents that could have been averted if those involved had received basic training in topics ranging from appropriate seating at formal dinners to flag placement in cultural traditions. My young colleague Kim Starfield, who serves as Assistant Protocol Officer for the Secretary of Homeland Security, told me about an upcoming Protocol 101 Workshop on May 16. It is sponsored by the PDI-POA: Protocol Officers Association. Mark and I often write about the building blocks of your career. Knowledge of protocol is certainly one.

A second edition is in the works!
Has it really been almost three years since I last posted in this space? It's amazing how real life can get in the way of even the best intentions.
I'm resurfacing, though — at least for now — to share the happy news that Sherry and I are hard at work on a second edition of Working World: Careers in International Education, Exchange, and Development! This second edition will again be published by our wonderful colleagues at Georgetown University Press, with plans for a 2014 release.
This second edition will feature the same philosophy you came to love in the first Working World book — namely, pushing international job seekers to challenge their assumptions about what it means to pursue a career in international relations and to recognize that the path to career success is rarely straight. We'll also be adding lots of exciting new content, including:
- New and updated profiles of fascinating professionals in these fields — you can learn so much from their diverse career paths and excellent career insights;
- New and updated international job hunting and career resources — much has changed since the last edition was published, and so many resources are out there — we'll be bringing you the best of them; and
- Expanded discussions on key topics important to both current professionals and job seekers in these fields (such as identifying your cause, the art of networking, the value of mentors, and viewing your career as a continuous journey).
We're so pleased that much of our new content is being inspired and driven by reader input and feedback.
For now, Sherry and I are focusing our energy on completing the second edition. But we hope to re-energize this blog in the months ahead as a discussion space for any and all issues related to careers in international education, exchange, and development.
Thank you for your support, and see you soon in the new Working World!

NYTimes: "Unpaid internships may be illegal"
With the number of unpaid internships available to students continuing to rise, the Department of Labor and other state-level bodies are apparently beginning to "step up enforcement nationwide" of potential violations of minimum wage laws, the New York Times said last week. In particular, the Labor Department "says it is cracking down on firms that fail to pay interns properly and expanding efforts to educate companies, colleges and students on the law regarding internships."
It's no secret that internships are a way in, a way to make that first connection that will jump start your career. Ross Perlin notes that "internships have become the gateway into the white-collar work force…Employers increasingly want experience for entry-level jobs, and many students see the only way to get that is through unpaid internships." (I recently met Ross, who is doing great work on two fronts: conducting research on endangered minority languages in southern China, around Kunming, and writing a book about the phenomenon of internships in the U.S.) My "in" into the field of international exchange and education came with an internship with Sherry and NCIV.
We touch on this subject in Working World the book, asking whether internships are perhaps exploitation, but concluding that, while certain internships may be, the overall institution of being an intern is important to career development. But we also note, I now read with interest, that the vast majority of interns will receive "no remuneration or (if you are lucky) a modest stipend." But is that how it should be?
The Times article is hinting that it doesn't matter what should or shouldn't be: the law may dictate that paying interns is a necessity. But even beyond the legality of it, unpaid work is always a tough pill to swallow, especially for young professionals on thin budgets. I feel lucky that I interned with NCIV, which does provide at least a modest stipend for its interns, and got my managerial legs under Sherry, who believes that interns should always be paid for their work, even if it isn't all that much. The same holds true here at the Alliance—we can't pay much, but we at least give something.
I guess ultimately, when you're looking for an internship, pay can't be the driving factor. If you're able to find an internship that gives you maximum professional benefit (and I would describe that as an internship that allows you to work with good people, that allows you to work on substantive projects [not just menial stuff] and own your work, and that allows you access to more people in the field with whom you can network), then pay will probably seem rather secondary, especially if that internship leads you to something good down the road.
But even so, I agree with a movement away from unpaid internships. This system (especially here in DC, where things are expensive and there is no shortage of people willing to make you pay your dues) unfairly favors those who have connections and resources to survive on when not getting paid.

Hi kids, I'm back
I can't say what's prompted me to make a return to Working World today, on a beautiful spring day in DC, especially after many months of inactivity. I also can't really explain what led to my recent hiatus. The simplest answer seems to be that I just wasn't feeling it—I didn't want to force it. So I let things rest for awhile (rest, at least, on the Working World front—I've been as busy as ever with my "real" life).
But I'm feeling now that a little bit of rest did me good and like I want to try to get back into the swing a bit, so hope some of you are still around! And because my title is a quote from the masterpiece of modern cinema, "Kindergarten Cop," and because this is awesome:

Attention students going abroad with parents giving you crap about it, ctd.
The British Council agrees with IES Study Abroad (whose recent study shows study abroad experiences give U.S. college students a decided "edge" in the global job market):
Venturing overseas to get a degree makes you attractive to employers – and it's fun.
Thanks to David Comp for the tip on this article. David also points to the oddly cheery "and it's fun" in the subtitle, as well as the fact that this fun factor (which we can't help agree with) is never discussed in the actual article. David asks: "Why then did the author feel the need to include this in the sub-title of the article?" A good question, especially when you consider the last line of the article:
"If you don't like it, you can always go home."
Fair enough and certainly true. But related to both David's take on the balance between an academically rigorous study abroad program and one in which students are able to travel, drink "underage," and generally cut loose, as well as this idea of whether study/living abroad is always "fun," I'll throw out there that: 1) life abroad is not always fun and 2) even the un-fun parts can still be beneficial.
A quick example: my girlfriend studied abroad in Paris for a semester, though it was supposed to be a year: she cut it short because the experience was a difficult one for her (she didn't like it, so she went home, I suppose). That doesn't mean she didn't like everything about the experience. There were many parts of France and the French and life with her host family that she loved. But there were also an overwhelming number of difficulties (expenses and difficulties with overaggressive and culturally-insensitive French men, to name but two) that made her experience a truly "un-fun" one, so much so that she cut her time there short. She didn't have "fun" on her study abroad experience in the same way many people do—traveling every weekend and drinking into the wee hours every night. Yet her experience in Paris was still very formative. She gained important skills that she continues to use to this day—not just language and cultural skills, but also perseverance, adaptation, and self-reliance. Despite some negative experiences, she still holds a great affection for France and the French people. And despite the fact that she wasn't able to travel all over Europe like many of her classmates, she came away from the experience with a desire to see more and go further, a desire which she has been trying to satisfy through further international experience and travel as she gets older.
As David says, everyone has a different definition of fun. In the same way, the "success" of a study abroad experience can come in different ways for different people. It's important to both be open to what comes your way while you're actually studying abroad, and to allow yourself the opportunity to discover how that study abroad experience continues to affect you (perhaps in unexpected ways) as you move further away from it.

Sailors salute their Cumbrian saviours
Last updated at 09:12, Monday, 09 April 2012
A sailor at the centre of a dramatic rescue operation has praised the bravery of a lifeboat crew.
Walter Burrow, 67, and his son Tim, 41, were sailing their yacht towards Whitehaven when they got into trouble in treacherous weather.
Workington's RNLI crew came to their rescue after unexpected wind speeds took their toll on the vessel.
Walter, who lives in south Cumbria, said the lifeboat crew went above and beyond the call of duty to get him and his son, who were suffering from hypothermia and severe sea sickness, to safety.
He also thanked the staff who reassured his frantic wife Susan while she waited for news in Whitehaven – and even booked them into a local hotel while they were being treated in hospital.
The two men left Largs in Scotland in their 41ft yacht Never Satisfied on Monday afternoon. They planned to move it to Whitehaven to get it ready to take to the Mediterranean later this year.
Walter said as they got nearer to Cumbria conditions worsened. "The wind picked up and it started to get more choppy. The winds were stronger than anticipated but we were at the north of the Solway Firth and there was nowhere for us to moor up. We decided we would be better to carry on and at that point we were still riding the waves nicely," he said.
However although the boat was moving through the water well, the winds were then pushing them backwards – resulting in fuel going down quicker than expected.
On top of this gales were rising to an unexpected force nine. They ploughed on but ran out of fuel about 12 miles out of Whitehaven.
They sent out an alert and were told help was on its way, but in the meantime they were drifting towards St Bees.
A nearby fishing boat heard their call and came to meet them until the Workington lifeboat could find them.
By this point the two men had been soaked through by giant waves and were freezing, while Walter was suffering from awful sea sickness.
"We were both getting more and more cold. My body temperature was down to about 33 degrees when we finally got to safety," said Walter.
When the lifeboat arrived conditions were so bad nobody could get across onto the yacht. Instead they attached a line and tried to tow it to shore – but the sea was so wild the rope snapped. "They were so brave. At first they tried to get some crew members across on a dinghy attached to a rope but it was too dangerous.
"Then the coxwain managed to get the lifeboat in close enough for one guy called Steve to jump across. He was brilliant. He gave us sea sickness tablets and we tried again, but it snapped again – by which point we were starting to deteriorate further."
The crew scrambled a rescue helicopter but conditions were too bad to attempt to winch them from the boat. Instead they were sent below deck to try to get warm while the crew carried on.
When they arrived in Whitehaven the two sailors were taken straight to a waiting ambulance and driven to the West Cumberland Hospital, where they were treated for hypothermia. Susan, who had been looked after by harbour staff, said: "They were all incredible. I was waiting for them coming in so when I realised they were in difficulty I didn't know what to do.
"They calmed me down and gave me cups of tea. They even booked us a room at the Waverley Hotel and made sure someone would be there to let us in when they were released from hospital. I just can't thank any of them enough."
The boat sustained significant damage but is repairable. Walter added: "Everyone involved in the rescue was amazing. These people don't know us but put their lives at risk. It was so professional it was as if they had been rehearsing this specific rescue for months.
"They were all local people from west Cumbria and I just want to say a huge thank you from myself and my son.
The family are now planning to raise funds for the RNLI to say thank you.

The Beacon
An Unwelcome Milestone
Occasionally I write a "Friday Victories" blog -- if there's some particularly good news to report. Unfortunately, today's not one of those occasions.
Unless it's a victory for climate change, that is. With three weeks of the melting season to go, this year's Arctic ice pack is the second smallest ever recorded on satellite.
So chances are, in a few weeks, I'll be writing another blog reporting that the ice has shrunk even smaller than last year, claiming the record.
Learn more about climate change and the Arctic at http://oceana.org/climate and http://www.protectthearctic.org/.

February 27, 2008 05:08 PM EDT
In the late '70s, Gary Coleman was big. Even Mohammed Ali got into Gary's "Diff'rent Strokes" action.
Today, Gary is a married man.
At first glance, Gary and his wife, Shannon Price, may appear to be an odd couple, but don't opposites attract?
In the latest installment of our Couples Uncensored series, Access got to the long and the short of it. But as Gary and Shannon quickly found out, the uncensored interview can be a dangerous game for newlyweds.
And while Gary and Shannon have only been married six months, luckily for them some questions were easy.
"Would you like to do a reality show?" Gary asked Shannon.
"No," she said.
And some questions were romantic…
"What was your favorite moment of our wedding?" Shannon asked.
"[It] was when we put the rings on. That was my favorite moment," he responded.
And then it was Access Hollywood's turn to do the asking.
Gary has been in the public eye for 30 years, so a lot has been written, including that 40-year-old Gary is still a virgin?
"I just don't discuss my private life, but she knows what I am," Gary said.
"He is 40 though. You got that right," Shannon joked.
OK, so maybe Gary has lost his virginity, and now he's an expert on intimacy.
"Sex is just another expression of love, but you know, you can overdo everything," Gary explained "You can take anything too far and I don't think my wife would appreciate it if I came in with a big black hood and whip in my hand. I don't think she would like that very much."
Then there's Gary's hot temper.
In 1999, he pleaded no contest to disturbing the peace and Shannon has even called the police over Gary's violent mood swings, but in our interview, it sounded like the lovebirds were in a little denial.
"The media makes it bigger than what it really is," Shannon said.
"Always," Gary added.
"We just have simple little arguments like everyone else does," Shannon continued.
"Who doesn't? Who doesn't who's married," Gary said.
Gary is now channeling his anger into a chance for you to win.
Live on February 28, at 4PM Eastern, you can test your '70s and '80s knowledge and compete against Gary online. Log onto NowYouKnowBetter.com for more information.

Travel Guide for Green Card Holders (Lawful Permanent Residents)
Written by attorney Hasan Abdullah
In this video, I provide advice to green card holders (lawful permanent residents) on travel.
My travel date is imminent, and I didn't receive my travel document yet.
Of course I should wait until it's issued before traveling, right? Is it risky that I travel without it and get it shipped to me in Lebanon for my return?
My most important question now, can I use my Egyptian passport to enter Lebanon? Because entering Lebanon with a travel document will need an approximately 2 months to have my visa issued.Otherwise, I don't need visa to enter Lebanon if I used my passport.
To put it in simpler terms, can I exit and return to the US using my travel document, however using my passport to enter Lebanon.
Yes, you can, but if you are here on Asylum, it might mean a one way ticket if the asylum was from Lebanon.
It isn't necessary to repeat/revise your questions.
See my prior answer.
Leaving the United States without filing a reentry form may cause the authorities to believe you have abandoned your permanent residency.

Jeff Ward toughs out a podium spot at Supermoto Round 2
XTRM / AMA Supermoto - Sonoma, CA
Jeff Ward came into the second round of the XTRM Supermoto series leading the points chase. The eight-time AMA champion is no stranger to that position.
He's also no stranger to riding injured and he would have to do it again at Infineon Raceway. Ward crashed hard during a practice session at a local motocross track a week ago and limped away with a broken bone in his right ankle and a broken toe on his left foot.
Jeff taped himself together and recorded good lap times during practice. In the final he completed the first lap just outside the top five and began marching his way to the front. When the checkered flag dropped Mark Burkhart had won, Sylvain Bidart was second and Ward was third. His gritty ride leaves him tied for the points lead with Mark Burkhart going into round three in Las Vegas in two weeks.
Troy Lee Designs 250 rider, Joey Pascarella, dislocated his wrist in a practice incident and will be out of action until later this summer. Jeff Ward's son, Brandon, put in the best ride of his career by finishing fourth in the 250 final. Brandon is looking better and better each time out and should find himself on the podium before the year is out.
The Troy Lee Designs crew will be hard at work in Sacramento, California competing in the Lucas Oil Motocross Championships on Saturday May 30th and in Las Vegas at the South Point Hotel and Casino on May 31st for round three of the XTRM Supermoto series.

I was expecting crisp cotton percale sheets. These are very nice but more of a soft cotton. It is so hard to find the nice crisp cotton sheets from years ago. These are pretty well made but not what i really wanted. More like a light flannel. Nice for the winter.
I have spent the last couple of years trying to find a nice lightweight, soft cotton sheet set that has a nice pattern to it. I purchased the sophia set and it am extremely happy with it. It is just as pictured, but soft than expected. It fits my queen size mattress perfectly which had been an issue before as the fitted sheets from other brands would always shrink and no longer fit. Not Laura Ashleys. There was no shrinkage after putting them in the dryer, they hardly wrinkled and fit like a dream. Even my very picky husband found them light enough for him (hes always hot) and soft enough for him as well (he doesn't like synthetic fibers). I would definately purchase more from LA. I will also state that I live in Ontario Canada and these arrived quickly, within a week and a half.
I could tell these sheets were going to be amazing from the moment they came out of the package! Before I washed them they felt nice. After I pulled them out of the dryer they felt even better, like butter! LOVE them!! I'm tempted to buy another set! You won't be disappointed!
I am happy with these sheets. Beautiful colors. Different shades of blue on white background. Soft after first washing and good fit on my new queen matress.
Immediately upon opening the package and touching the material the sheets are made of, I knew I was going to like them. Upon washing them, finding the fit my bed perfectly and sleeping on them the first night, I was so impressed with the softness and comfort. They look nice, but even if they didn't, I would recommend them for comfort. I have since washed the sheets several times and found no pilling or change in the material.
Overall, I am happy with these sheets. They are beautiful and have added a little more country charm to the bedroom!
I bought a set for my daughter and one for myself. They are so soft and the color so pretty. the color stayed true after a couple of launderings (so far) and the fabric is still soft and pill-free! Must buy more!
These are the softest and most comfortable sheets I have ever owned. They fit my pillow top mattress perfectly, wash beautifully and look very nice. I bought a second set after getting and using the first.
I have two other Laura Ashley sheet sets that I ordered a couple years ago that I LOVE! These are scratchy and limp, not smooth,cool and crisp like the others. DO NOT BUY THESE!
Positives: These sheets are pretty, colorfast, fit well and are cotton. Negative: Serious problem is that they pill badly which was not expected from this name brand product. That makes them uncomfortable and not a good buy at all.

Against the Wind
Leaf clean up is a painful and frustrating process. It's a war we always win, but not before losing several battles. In the past few days we've filled the vacuum up countless times, but that is not evident on the course. Winds are bringing leaves down faster than we can mulch and/or vacuum them. Eventually we'll have a very neat and tidy course to look at and play, but it's not going to happen this week I'm afraid. Thanks for your patience.

USGA Update....Earthworms and Frost
USGA: Mid-Atlantic
November 12, 2014
EARTHWORM CASTS AND FROST DELAYSBy Darin S. Bevard, director, Mid-Atlantic Region
November 12, 2014
During the latter part of the growing season in the Mid-Atlantic, preparing golf courses for daily play can be challenging. While the worries of hot weather are certainly gone, the changing weather creates new problems, like leaf removal, that are more of a nuisance than major issues. Additionally, earthworm casts and frost delays have been recent topics of conversation.
Earthworm casts affect maintenance and playability. In severe cases, fairways cannot be mowed until they are dry and dragging is performed to break up the casts. Wet earthworm casts can smear fairways and will affect the performance of mowing equipment. The combination of slower turf growth and less frequent mowing makes the casting problem more severe. Fertilizer products containing tea seed extract can be applied to irritate earthworms and reduce casting. However, at this point in the growing season, it may be best to simply deal with worm casts as the season comes to a close. Remember, earthworms benefit soil structure. It is only the casts on the surface that are detrimental to grass and playability.
Frost delays can be discussed every year, but the bottom line is that there is great potential to injure frosted turfgrass by introducing traffic. Frost also delays maintenance operations. Golfers are ready to go as soon as the sun is up and the frost is gone. However, remember that the maintenance staff cannot blow leaves, mow or perform other course setup tasks when frost is present. Therefore, some patience and understanding from the golfers is required. Realize there can be an additional delay after frost has burned off so the maintenance staff can get a head start on course preparation.
Late season is not mid-season. Golfers can help by being patient and understanding the challenges that maintenance operations must contend with when preparing for daily golf as we progress towards winter.

Peak Leaf Season
It's raining leaves faster than we can keep up. On days when the wind blows hard and steady we don't waste time trying to clean them up. We'll attack them as soon as the wind dies down.

Pump "House" Renovation
The heart of our irrigation system is the pump station. In most cases, pump stations are indoors with some minor degree of climate control and protection from the elements. We've lived with just a fence for all these years. Earlier this year we replaced the control panel and decided that it was time we beefed up the protection around this big investment. The gap between the grass slowing down and peak leaf removal season seemed like a good time to squeeze in this construction project. Jimmy, Alan, and Logan spent last week putting this new structure together. It is essentially a sturdier version of its predecessor with a roof added. We still need to add the roof material, but the job is nearly complete. The guys did an incredible job at a fraction of what the outsiders quoted for the same thing. The heart of our irrigation system will be safe for years to come. Now if we can just get some water in the lake we can use it.
Fall Golf Course Update and Reminders
Lots of changes taking place this time of year. The following is a summary of what's happening....
- Staff reduction for the season. Some very good people who worked extremely hard all year are now either gone for the year or have had their hours greatly reduced. It is a painful reality that they are all aware of from the start, but it still hurts to see them go.
- Frost delays will be a regular occurrence soon. If you have an early tee time please be prepared for a a delay if it's cold outside. We need a little time to prepare the course between the frost thawing and the first tee time.
- Leaves are falling faster than we can pick them up. The biggest drain on manpower for the next two months will be leaf removal. It's all day every day.
- Zoysia grass is going dormant. We haven't had to mow the zoysia fairways and approaches since October 10th. The color has almost disappeared for the year and will return again beginning in April.
- The practice tee grass is closed for the winter and the mats are back in action.
The fairways are going dormant and the leaves are falling....

Not Quite Low Tide
The lake continues to leak, but Thursday the much awaited "plug" arrives that we hope will seal things tight. At that point we are praying for rain and runoff to begin filling us back up. Our original plan to move the pumps further out was tabled for the moment as the cost of doing such wasn't going to be easy and the need was still unclear. We have some time thanks to the weather, so we will pay close attention to the water level and react if/when needed with a pump relocation. If the valve was going to give way it couldn't have picked a better time.

We needed a place to stay after the June 30 pro soccer game at Stanford (great game and fireworks show!). We booked at the last minute and found this relatively affordable motel located at the south end of Palo Alto, on El Camino Real. Our room was nicely furnished (including a small fridge) and the place was immaculately clean. The lady at the front desk was pleasant and well organized. Although located along a main drag, our room was quiet. I would recommend booking a room like ours, at the back of the motel away from the street, if possible. An excellent restaurant for breakfast - Hobees - was located almost next door. This made up for the only shortcoming I noted in this motel, the advertised "continental breakfast" seemed to be 2 packaged "pastries", 2 small bottles of orange juice and a coffee maker for making coffee. (The room was booked for 3.)
