Definitions for bailey bridge
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word bailey bridge
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
Bai′ley bridge`(n.)
a temporary bridge formed of prefabricated, interchangeable, steel truss panels bolted together.
Category: Civil Engineering
Origin of Bailey bridge:
after Donald Bailey (1901–85), British engineer, its designer
Princeton's WordNet
Bailey bridge(noun)
a temporary bridge designed for rapid construction
Bailey bridge(Noun)
a portable pre-fabricated truss bridge, designed for use by military engineering units.
Bailey bridge
The Bailey bridge is a type of portable, pre-fabricated, truss bridge. It was developed by the British during World War II for military use and saw extensive use by both British and the American military engineering units. A Bailey bridge had the advantages of requiring no special tools or heavy equipment to construct. The wood and steel bridge elements were small and light enough to be carried in trucks and lifted into place by hand, without requiring the use of a crane. The bridges were strong enough to carry tanks. Bailey bridges continue to be extensively used in civil engineering construction projects and to provide temporary crossings for foot and vehicle traffic.

Hi all,
Has anyone bought anything similar to the Sharkoon PC Jump Start - PC Jump Start | SHARKOON Technologies GmbH ?
We've bought them in the past but none of our suppliers are able to provide any more. Require ~45 for a lab environment.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This project has been controversial and Dr. Markram has been accused of spending a lot of money on a project that may prove impossibly complex. However, there is a chance of a sizable prize for him. The European Commission has selected his project as one of six competing for two Future and Emerging Technologies Flagship Awards to be announced this year and then funded with $1.4 billion over the next ten years.
There is an old cybernetic axiom that no machine can understand another machine as, or more, complex than itself. If true, it would mean that we humans could not expect to ever fully understand our own brains. However, Dr. Markram's goal appears to lie short of this and his electronic model may well enable us to glean some new and valuable insights into the workings of our minds in health and disease. W. Ross Ashby created many pithy aphorisms relevant to this effort to make brain-like devices, of which the following is an example: "Some say the first requirement is that it shall weigh [only] 45 ounces," (the weight of a human brain).

Check out GIRLTalk's revised rules & regulations now! http://www.femalenetwork.com/girltalk/index.php/board,181.0.html
i'm a southville alumna and i wouln't really even consider enrolling my child there lol
^yes. or maybe it was just me. i went with the wrong crowd lol. anyway, we have some successful people in our batch naman, some took 7 to 8 years in college just to finish a four-year course or some who haven't finished college at all. there are a few who are in and out of rehab, or those who refuse to go to rehab and still live their effed up lives. anyway, i'll just keep it short... the quality is good, but the type of people you are surrounded with, are not the best people to be around with. oh, bullying was very rampant during my time.
@ilovehim, try Paref Ridgefield. or Rosemont. both are in Alabang. That's if you want to put your kid in Paref schools for gradeschool (or kahit hindi). Most of my friends put their kids there. You can also inquire in Young Creative Minds, which is in Madrigal Business Park. The directress is Harvard trained, and teachers are young and from top schools. Their curriculum is good too.
Manresa and VMIS --so far na alam kong affordable but offers good quality of education.

Promoting Transparency and Growth in the Coffee Industry
January 14, 2014
Mobile technologies help coffee cooperatives access finance and create opportunities for farmers.
The Cracking the Nut Africa: Improving Rural Livelihoods and Food Security conference is taking place this week in Kigali, Rwanda. The event aims to highlight innovations in the development of rural and agricultural livelihoods, financial inclusion and increasing rural food security and nutrition in Africa.
Nupur Parikh and Moritz Waldstein from TechnoServe's Rwanda office presented earlier today on how mobile technologies can help create transparency and growth in the coffee industry. Through text message-based bookkeeping, coffee mills can easily report and share business information with banks and service providers. The system is helping cooperatives to access the financing they need to create market opportunities for coffee farmers.

A swingarm, or "swinging arm" (UK), originally known as a swing fork or pivoted fork, is the main component of the rear suspension of most modern motorcycles and ATVs. It is used to hold the rear axle firmly, while pivoting vertically, to allow the suspension to absorb bumps in the road.
Originally motorcycles had no rear suspension, as their frames were little more than stronger versions of the classic diamond frame of a bicycle. Many types of suspension were tried, including Indian's leaf spring suspended swingarm, and Matchless's cantilevered coiled-spring swingarm. Immediately prior to and after WWII, the plunger suspension, in which the axle moved up and down two vertical posts, became commonplace. In the latter, the movement in each direction was against coiled springs.
Some manufacturers, such as Greeves, used swingarm designs for the front forks, which were more robust than telescopic forks. In particular, sidecar motocross outfits frequently use swing arm front forks. The swingarm has also been used for the front suspension of scooters. In this case it aids in simplifying maintenance. In motorcycles with shaft drive, such as the Yamaha XJ650 Maxim, the shaft housing forms the left side swingarm.
Swingarm types[edit]
Swingarms have come in several forms:
Swinging fork - the original version consisting of a pair of parallel pipes holding the rear axle at one end and pivoting at the other. A pair of shock absorbers are mounted just before the rear axle and attached to the frame, below the seat rail.
Cantilever - An extension of the swinging fork where a triangulated frame transfers swingarm movement to compress shock absorber/s generally mounted in front of the swingarm. The HRD-Vincent Motorcycle is a famous early form of this type of swingarm, though Matchless used it earlier, and Yamaha subsequently. The Harley-Davidson Softail is another form of this swingarm, though working in reverse, with the shock absorbers being extended rather than compressed.
Parallelogram Suspension was first introduced commercially in 1985 on the Magni "Le Mans". Magni called the system Parallelogrammo. This new suspension system eliminated the torque reactions normally associated with shaft-drive motorcycles and enabled the bike to perform similarly to a chain-drive unit. Similar systems have been developed by other manufacturers.[1]
Paralever is BMW's version of the system. It allows the driveshaft to pivot along the same axis as the sprung rear frame due to the addition of a second link between the rear drive and transmission. Paralever was originally introduced in 1988 R80GS and R100GS motorcycles and provides a reduction in the phenomenon known as "shaft jacking" where the rear of the motorcycle would lift skyward under certain riding conditions.
Moto Guzzi has introduced a variant of the system, it named the Compact Reactive Drive Shaft system (patented and named Ca.R.C.). The main difference is that the driveshaft is free to float into its structure, providing much softer feedback from transmission. Additionally, the upper arm of the Ca.R.C. is not part of the structure but just a guide to close the geometry of the suspension (it means that, differently from BMW version, the suspension will work also with a broken upper arm).
Drag racing motorcycles (called dragbikes) will often use longer swingarms to keep their center of gravity, i.e. the engine, as forward as possible, to reduce the tendency to wheelie at the start.
A single-sided swingarm is a type of swingarm which lies along only one side of the rear wheel, allowing the rear wheel to be mounted like a car wheel (unlike the conventional motorcycle double-sided swingarm). Single-sided swingarms are traditionally found on small motorcycles or scooters, where a robust chain case doubles as the swingarm linking the engine and rear wheel. Single-sided swingarms need to be much stiffer than the double-sided versions, to accommodate the extra torsional forces, and as a result, they are usually heavier than double-sided arms. Having a single mounting point guarantees proper wheel alignment.[citation needed]
Single-sided swingarms date from at least the late 1940s. In 1948 the Imme R100 produced by Norbert Riedel of Germany had both a single-sided front wheel suspension as well as a single-sided rear swingarm that doubled as the exhaust pipe.[2] Later in 1950, Moto Guzzi introduced the Galletto, a large-wheel step-through scooter. In 1980, BMW introduced its first single-sided swingarm on the R80G/S, the "Mono-lever", which was superseded by the "Para-lever" used currently. Honda currently features this style of swingarm on the Honda VFR. Ducati has created several models featuring single swingarms, most notably the Massimo Tamburini-designed 916 series. While they abandoned this style for the 999, they returned to it for the 1098 superbike in 2007, and it survives in the current Ducati 1199. The Triumph Sprint ST also features a single-sided swingarm.[3]

(CBS) - A California ice cream shop claims you can lose weight with a "cleanse" that consists of eating five pints of a frozen non-dairy ice cream-like treat for four straight days. The cleanse offered by Kippy's! Ice Cream Shop in Venice, Calif., also includes daily yoga exercises, and costs $240 for the four-day plan, CBS Los Angeles reported.
Owner Kippy Miller says the frozen treat is "plant-based, raw coconut cream. So it is no dairy, no sugar and no soy."
The five pints work out to about 1,200 calories per day, with 70 grams of fat and more than 120 grams of total sugars, according to the station. Twelve people completed the yoga-ice cream cleanse and lost weight, Miller said.
Kippys' website notes all the ice creams are made from coconut water, coconut cream, fresh fruit and raw local honey.
Gizmodo's Brent Rose completed the 20-pint cleanse with his girlfriend, writing a diary of their experience on the website. He said he and his girlfriend lost between 5-6 pounds, but the weight came back after a long weekend.
Would nutritionists recommend it?
Weight gain comes down to calorie intake, so reducing calorie intake could conceivably lead to weight loss. But with any low-calorie diet, the weight might come back once you return to a typical routine.
"While I was reading more up on, it's very high in saturated fat and sugar and that concerned me," nutritionist Jason Song told CBS Los Angeles.
While the sugar may not be processed, honey and fruit contain natural sugars. The World Health Organization recently said sugar from all sources should only take up 5 percent of your daily calorie intake.

CORRECTED-Basilea shareholder requests repayment of capital
(Corrects date of shareholder meeting to April 9.)
ZURICH Feb 25 (Reuters) - HBM Healthcare Investments has called on Swiss biotech group Basilea to repay 5 Swiss francs ($5.4) per registered share from the company's capital reserves, a move that would cost roughly 48 million francs.
HBM, which is based in the Cayman Islands and owns more than 20 percent of Basilea's shares, has asked the company to put the share repayment on the agenda of its ordinary general meeting of shareholders, Basilea said in a statement late on Friday.
The Basel-based firm said its board of directors will carefully evaluate the request. Its shareholder meeting takes place on April 9.
Basilea posted a narrower-than-expected net loss of 53 million francs in 2012. The company is facing a crucial year as it awaits regulatory approval for its antibiotic drug ceftobiprole. ($1 = 0.9316 Swiss francs) (Reporting by Caroline Copley; Editing by Nick Macfie and David Cowell)

The "Meez" & 20 Words To The Promised Land.
If you're working in the kitchen of Anthony Bourdain, legendary chef and famed television personality, you don't dare so much to boil hot water without attending to a ritual called: mise-en-place.
What is the first thing YOU do when you arrive at your desk?
What 20 word question can you ask yourself to distinguish between tasks that simply feel urgent from those that are truly important?

I'm convincing my brain through a constant firehose of content of one thing
Excerpts from a post by Michael Lopp @ Rands in Repose titled "Busy is an Addiction. The Dubious Value of Being Busy:
After decades of following this protocol, I'm certain of what I'm doing – I'm building mental momentum. I'm convincing my brain through a constant firehose of content of one thing: We are going to be super busy today – it's going to be awesome. How about a hit of the good stuff? Now, I can rationalize this morning preparation as gathering context and mentally preparing for the day but what I'm really doing is overclocking my brain. This is why I'm drinking coffee. I want to make sure by the time I hit the office, I'm working at 112%, I'm walking fast in the hallways of the office with a smile on my face, I am ready to fully crush this day. What I am really describing is a chemical addiction to the endorphins produced by my body that are supposed to reward productivity, but I have figured out how to force their creation via my advanced state of busy…
Admit it, if you've been a leader for while, it's a source of pride that you're booked all day – you're important – you're so… busy.
What I am describing is how I've lived years of my life. I've replaced the concrete act of building with a vast array of abstract tasks and acts that I believe are strategically important to the team, the product, and the company, but I've also learned to constantly question the motivation being the busy: Am I doing this because it's actually important? Or because I like the rush with being busy?

And the answer is?
Tony Schwartz and Christine Porath in Why You Hate Work:
The way we're working isn't working. Even if you're lucky enough to have a job, you're probably not very excited to get to the office in the morning, you don't feel much appreciated while you're there, you find it difficult to get your most important work accomplished, amid all the distractions, and you don't believe that what you're doing makes much of a difference anyway. By the time you get home, you're pretty much running on empty, and yet still answering emails until you fall asleep…
…Demand for our time is increasingly exceeding our capacity — draining us of the energy we need to bring our skill and talent fully to life. Increased competitiveness and a leaner, post-recession work force add to the pressures. The rise of digital technology is perhaps the biggest influence, exposing us to an unprecedented flood of information and requests that we feel compelled to read and respond to at all hours of the day and night…

Do what you love? Or do what most needs doing?
A 2012 share titled "Do What You Love" garnered more likes (393) and more views (8,396) than any other post on this blog. My thinking has evolved (you were naive!) since that time with a subsequent share titled: Do What You Love? Wrong! and this NY Times article by Professor Gordon Marino titled Life Beyond 'Do What You Love':
…But is "do what you love" wisdom or malarkey?
…the "do what you love" ethos so ubiquitous in our culture is in fact elitist because it degrades work that is not done from love. It also ignores the idea that work itself possesses an inherent value, and most importantly, severs the traditional connection between work, talent and duty.
…My father didn't do what he loved. He labored at a job he detested so that he could send his children to college. Was he just unenlightened and mistaken to put the well-being of others above his own personal interests? It might be argued that his idea of self-fulfillment was taking care of his family, but again, like so many other less than fortunate ones, he hated his work but gritted his teeth and did it well.
…Our desires should not be the ultimate arbiters of vocation. Sometimes we should do what we hate, or what most needs doing, and do it as best we can.

Coach? Bah! Hmmmm. Yah.
It's Saturday morning. I'm flicking through Netflix and there it was – "Recommended for me: The Legend of Bagger Vance." It was ten, maybe eleven years ago. The Executive Coach assigned to me recommended the book. An Executive Coach from Little Rock, Arkansas. Hired and paid for by the Firm. "Good for my career," they said. (Good for my career? I didn't need help with my career. My team's results were exceptional. Employee Survey scores ranked my team's morale #1, with no one remotely close. Little Rock, Arkansas? Come on. You've got to be kidding.)
The first meeting was scheduled. Big Cat was tired, wary and his fur was up. (Last thing I need is some corporate shrink dishing out pablum that I wouldn't eat and then reporting back to management that I was a head-case. What can he possibly teach me? "He who can, does; he who cannot, teaches.")
He outlined the program. Clinical. To-the-point. No wasted words. No wasted movement. He explained that he wanted to conduct a 360-survey with my direct reports, colleagues and key partners. Get me the names, and we'll get started. He was in and out.
Session 3, the survey feedback comes in. Big 4-inch ringed binder. I'm flipping through the pages. I skip the strengths. I know what they are. Eyes scan the charts, and land on the categories hitting the low points. (Memory is hazy…but I remember thinking Holy Sh*t as a read through the color commentary: "Ambitious. Would roll me if I missed. Aggressive. Relentless. Tough. Standards unrealistically high. 'Always on.' Don't really know him. An enigma, can be hard and soft, therefore difficult to read. And Trust." I gently closed the binder to trap the words in – dropping my head and tasting the bitters of stomach acid.) [Read more…]

Driving. With my alcohol.
4:40 am.
I'm rumbling down I-95.
Dave Matthews is blaring through the speakers. And has been joining me on the morning ride all week.
You've been off. Haven't found your rhythm. It's back. You're burning it from both ends. The adrenaline – – it's pumpin'.
I look down at the gas gauge. And then to the estimate of the mileage remaining. Annoyed at the interruption. Need to stop. Better stop. I pull over to the Mobile station.
I'm listening to the clicks on the pump. And find myself drifting off. There's mist coming from my nose, rising up, and then disappearing into the darkness. I breathe in deeply. Exhale through the nose. And watch the show again. Magic. A Miracle. My morning moment of meditation. And like the wisp of air, Pessoa's disquiet rushes to fill the stillness.
You're more comfortable moving. You find peace in motion. Yet, you know it ain't peace.
It's hanging on my bulletin board in the office: "business is the art of getting people to where they need to be faster than they would get there without you." A Hugh McLeod illustration. A Big red hand with index finger pointing up – #1. There it is. Your strength. Your core competence. The transference of your disquiet to others. Pushing the pace. Injecting your adrenaline. More. Better. FASTER.

Get. To. The. Point.
Excerpts from the Joseph McCormack's Book Brief: The Brevity Mandate
"Here are the daunting challenges we all face every day to be heard: Attention spans are in a tailspin. In 2000, the average attention span was 12 seconds and now it's only eight. Professionals are interrupted 6-7 times an hour, often unable to get back to the task at hand. More than 43% abandon complicated or lengthy emails in the first 30 seconds. And the majority of people admit ignoring half the e-mails they get every day."
"The more you say, the less people hear"
"The business world today is full of information overload and there is not enough time to sift through it. If you cannot capture people's attention and deliver your message with brevity, you'll lose them."
"The discipline to capture and manage elusive mindshare now shapes and defines professional success. Shorter emails, better organized updates, and tighter and more engaging presentations are immediate indicators that you've got what it takes to succeed in an attention economy."
"Getting to the point is a non-negotiable standard."

What Drives Success?
Not sure I buy into #1. I'm a fervent believer in #2 and #3.
I've mastered #2. There's considerable work required on #3.
"The strikingly successful groups in America today share three traits that, together, propel success. The first is a superiority complex — a deep-seated belief in their exceptionality. The second appears to be the opposite — insecurity, a feeling that you or what you've done is not good enough. The third is impulse control….
It's odd to think of people feeling simultaneously superior and insecure. Yet it's precisely this unstable combination that generates drive: a chip on the shoulder, a goading need to prove oneself. Add impulse control — the ability to resist temptation — and the result is people who systematically sacrifice present gratification in pursuit of future attainment.
But this success comes at a price. Each of the three traits has its own pathologies. Impulse control can undercut the ability to experience beauty, tranquillity and spontaneous joy. Insecure people feel like they're never good enough…A superiority complex can be even more invidious. Group supremacy claims have been a source of oppression, war and genocide throughout history."

Where do my days go?

You are a fish on a line. Getting Unhooked.
"Sixteen thousand—that's how many words we speak, on average, each day. So imagine how many unspoken ones course through our minds. Most of them are not facts but evaluations and judgments entwined with emotions—some positive and helpful…others negative and less so (He's purposely ignoring me; I'm going to make a fool of myself; I'm a fake).
The prevailing wisdom says that difficult thoughts and feelings have no place at the office: …leaders, should be either stoic or cheerful; they must project confidence and damp down any negativity bubbling up inside them. But that goes against basic biology. All healthy human beings have an inner stream of thoughts and feelings that include criticism, doubt, and fear. That's just our minds doing the job they were designed to do: trying to anticipate and solve problems and avoid potential pitfalls.
…Leaders stumble not because they have undesirable thoughts and feelings—that's inevitable—but because they get hooked by them, like fish caught on a line. This happens in one of two ways. They buy into the thoughts, treating them like facts (It was the same in my last job…I've been a failure my whole career), and avoid situations that evoke them (I'm not going to take on that new challenge). Or, usually at the behest of their supporters, they challenge the existence of the thoughts and try to rationalize them away (I shouldn't have thoughts like this…I know I'm not a total failure), and perhaps force themselves into similar situations, even when those go against their core values and goals (Take on that new assignment—you've got to get over this). In either case, they are paying too much attention to their internal chatter and allowing it to sap important resources that could be put to better use. [Read more…]

Circle of Life (Lion King)
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life

Gotta know when to hold 'em
I'm on a conference call.
A long conference call.
The discussion is stretching and swirling in a loop.
I can feel my patience growing thin.
Is this normal brainstorming?
Or part of the creative process?
Or is this a complete mess?
Or is my lack of sleep clouding my judgment?
My mind drifts.
I call up one of my favorite management books: QBQ by John Miller.
John would suggest that I ask the Question Behind the Question?
Why am I amped up?
What have I done to contribute to the rudderless direction of this call?
I think about that for a moment.
Nah, can't be me. Of course not.
I let the debate go on. I listen in silently hoping the solve is coming.
I turn to gnawing on a finger nail.

Riding MetroNorth. The Day's Highlight.
I'm walking down 51st Street to catch the 6:22 train home.
A migraine has been throbbing since 11 am.
It's progressively clawing at my attention.
And sawing at my patience.
3:30 am insomnia?
Skipping lunch?
This diet is going to kill me.
I find an open seat.
I grab my ticket from my bag.
And set my coat and bag overhead.
I slump into the window seat and rest my head against the window.
I close my eyes.
Give me 10 minutes. Please. Just 10. And, let this pain evaporate.
The train pulls out of Grand Central.
I drift away with the clickety clack of the train.
I awake to the conductor calling for tickets.
I hand my ticket to her.
She smiles, and hands it back.
She tells me she'll be back and moves on to the other passengers.
I look down. It's the receipt instead of the ticket.
Flustered. I apologize to my seatmate.
I stand up to reach for my bag.
I open the zipper to get at my wallet. [Read more…]
Driving. Running on Empty.
I get a late jump. Need to drive to the City. I look down at my gas gauge. It's bobbing on the wrong side of 1/4. Storm expected by mid-afternoon. I can't be caught on freeway without petrol. I cuss. I should have filled up on the ride home last night. I clench my teeth: WHY do I repeat this scenario? Again and again. I glance down at my watch, and hope for light traffic. I can't be late. Not today. I pull into a Mobil Service Station.
A late edition Ford Explorer pulls up. Mid-30's? Pharma Sales? Office Manager? Her make-up, black dress and heels…all poorly camouflaging weariness. Her shoulders are slumped.
Today's Look: Fatigue. Single Mom? Poor night's sleep? Did you need to drop Jimmy off at daycare?
$'s whirring on the pump meter. $4.47 a gallon. "Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed. Poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed. Then one day he was shooting for some food, and up through the ground come a bubblin' crude (Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.)" I digress. $63.47 and still guzzling. Beast is insatiable.
She puts the pump back in the holster, gives the gas cap an extra twist and trudges back into her car, heels clopping on the asphalt.
You couldn't have put more than $15 in the tank. Money tight? Stretched into big house, one size too large?
Traffic is flowing. GPS flashing a clear runway to Triborough Bridge. Making good time.

T.G.I.F.: How's your week gone? Exactly.
Two qualities that make you compelling (or not)
"…It turns out that when we decide how we feel about someone, we are making not one judgment, but two. The criteria that count are what we call "strength" and "warmth." Strength is a person's capacity to make things happen with abilities and force of will. When people project strength, they command our respect. Warmth is the sense that a person shares our feelings, interests, and view of the world. When people project warmth, we like and support them…"
"…While each of us exhibit both strong and warm qualities, the authors found through various studies and research that we often fail to utilize the right amounts of each. This is because, although both strength and warmth are positive traits, they can become negative if not balanced for and catered to your specific situation. Awareness is key. Strength and warmth are controllable traits we use in every interaction we have—via our tone of voice, the words we use, how we stand and walk, what we wear, and even how we cut our hair…"

Drive-In Movie Theaters: Going Way of T-Rex?
This article evoked vivid, early teen memories. Sultry Friday and Saturday nights in August. Shad flies filling the night time sky over the Kootenay River. We would race our bikes to beat the twilight turning to dusk. We'd hide our bikes in the bushes and go searching for a grassy spot on the hill at the Sunset Drive-in. The tantalizing smell of buttered popcorn and hot dogs. The car window speakers cackling. The older high school kids cozying up to their girls.
I googled the Sunset Drive-in and was shocked to learn that it showed its last movie in 1986, over 25 years ago. The old drive-in is now a RV Park known as Kootenay River Kampground.
Italo Calvino's words capture my recollection of these memories from where we sit today, in front of our screens, big and little, in our homes: "Melancholy is sadness that has taken on lightness."
Here's a few excerpts from the BusinessWeek article titled: America's Last, Remaining Drive-Ins Face a New Threat
"A" vs. "B" vs. "C"
Two questions: Which one of the four below are you? (Assuming you are one of the four.) Which one is optimal?
- "A" > "B" = No "C"
- "A" < "B" = No "C"
- "A" + "B" = Some "C"
- "P" = "J" = No "C"
Where 'A'= Time Spent On What You Love to Do.
Where 'B'= Time Spent on Your Job.
Where 'C'= Amount of Your Free Time.
Where 'P'= What You Love To Do.
Where 'J' = Your Job.

Riding MetroNorth. In reflection.
Stack 'em up and rumble. Dawn till dusk. Conference calls. One on one calls. Meetings. Emails + Texts: 175 and counting (the day isn't over). Swinging a gas powered weed wacker. The day: A half-high-five. Many routine ground balls. No major drops. Grade? Falling forward.
I'm on the 7:15 pm MetroNorth railroad heading home. The overhead air conditioning vent is heaven; a cool shower drying sweat from the sweltering cross-town walk. I close my eyes. And drift back to the day's highlight. A working lunch. I'm 7 minutes late. I apologize and sit. The team waited for me before digging into lunch.
We're 10 minutes in. The racing, charging, driving of the prior four hours burns off. My heart rate slows. I'm not tapping my foot. I'm not pushing the pace. Not glancing at my watch. Not thinking ahead to the next meeting. I'm watching. And listening. I'm actually present. [Read more…]

20 lessons learned in my first 80 years
Byron Wien grew up in Chicago during the Depression. "He was orphaned at 14 and overcame a difficult childhood to attend Harvard undergrad and business school. He recently turned 80, and in response to a request from a conference organizer moments before he was supposed to speak, Wien committed to paper some ideas which surely contributed to his success, but more important, they are lessons that shaped such a rich and remarkable life." Here are a few excerpts:
- Network intensely. Luck plays a big role in life, and there is no better way to increase your luck than by knowing as many people as possible. Nurture your network by sending articles, books and emails to people to show you're thinking about them. Write op-eds and thought pieces for major publications. Organize discussion groups to bring your thoughtful friends together.
- Read all the time. Don't just do it because you're curious about something, read actively. Have a point of view before you start a book or article and see if what you think is confirmed or refuted by the author. If you do that, you will read faster and comprehend more.
- On philanthropy my approach is to try to relieve pain rather than spread joy. Music, theatre and art museums have many affluent supporters, give the best parties and can add to your social luster in a community. They don't need you. Social service, hospitals and educational institutions can make the world a better place and help the disadvantaged make their way toward the American dream.
- Younger people are naturally insecure and tend to overplay their accomplishments. Most people don't become comfortable with who they are until they're in their 40's. By that time they can underplay their achievements and become a nicer, more likeable person. Try to get to that point as soon as you can. [Read more…]

"I do it for me and like-minded people. That's it. That's it. My career, I look at it in a Darwinian framework. I'm going to do exactly what I want, and I'm going to survive or I'm not. I'm not going to pander, I'm not going to change things, I'm not going to do focus groups. I'll live and die by the sword. I don't care. Because I couldn't live with myself…Everything I've done has been existential. Everything, really. Everything is always about, 'Am I living a good life? Am I making the most of my life?'"

Such was the force of her presence that what came after her was defined in terms of her absence
"She changed us all. We went from being a people who saw ourselves as eternally on the downward slide to a nation that was proud to be British again.
The UK's first woman prime minister transformed a sclerotic British economy, all but neutered the trade unions, and endeavored to 'roll back the frontiers of the state' … The flip side of her courage, toughness and radicalism was an arrogance, obstinacy and remoteness that became more marked the longer she clung to office … Yet such was the force of her presence that what came after her was defined in terms of her absence.
Born in 1925 in Grantham, Lincolnshire, Margaret Hilda Roberts was the younger daughter of a corner-shop grocer, Alfred Roberts, and his wife Beatrice. He was a self-made man, a Liberal alderman and a father whose tenets of integrity, hard work and self-reliance were strong influences throughout her career. His younger daughter's self-belief manifested itself early. Told by a teacher how lucky she was to have won a poetry-reading contest, the 10-year-old Margaret replied: "I was not lucky. I deserved it."

Keep Pegging Away
Yet, another remarkable post from Brainpickings titled 9 Rules for Success where Maria Popova shares excerpts from an essay by British novelist Amelia E. Barr (1831-1919). Barr, despite a devastating loss of her husband and three of their six children to yellow fever in 1867, went on to become a dedicated and diligent writer, eventually reaching critical success at the age of fifty-two. I'd encourage you to read the entire post at this link as it is that good. Here are a few of my favorite excerpts:
1) Men and women succeed because they take pains to succeed. Industry and patience are almost genius; and successful people are often more distinguished for resolution and perseverance than for unusual gifts. They make determination and unity of purpose supply the place of ability.
2) Success is the reward of those who "spurn delights and live laborious days." We learn to do things by doing them. One of the great secrets of success is "pegging away." No disappointment must discourage, and a run back must often be allowed, in order to take a longer leap forward.
5) We have been told, for centuries, to watch for opportunities, and to strike while the iron is hot. Very good; but I think better of Oliver Cromwell's amendment — "make the iron hot by striking it." [Read more…]

Since there's a whole lot of talk about golf in the East Valley this week, this seems like a good time to mention what one industry magazine says are the best places to buy gear.
Not only is Superstition Mountain Golf and Country Club in Gold Canyon a good place for the Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour, but also the pro shop ain't too shabby either.
Golf World Business recently rated the club's golf shop among the top 100 of alltime in the United States.
The magazine says it has evaluated golf shop operations across the country since 1986, recognizing those that elevate the standard in the golf-retail industry.
Every year, 25 shops are chosen from each of four categories — best off-course shops, best private shops, best public shops and best resort shops.
Those in the know look at the quality of merchandise, sales, initiatives and promotions before deciding who should be on the list.
Decisive factors include total sales, sales per square foot, sales per round, profit margins, shop layout, selection, displays and service.
Besides Superstition Mountain, other East Valley stores on the list in 2005 were
Whirlwind Golf Club in Chandler, the PGA Tour Shop at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and a gaggle of shops in Scottsdale, including Troon North Golf Club, TPC of Scottsdale, Talking Stick Golf Club, Kierland Golf Club, Hot Stix Golf, Grayhawk Golf Club and the Golf Club at Desert Mountain.
Bill Gates be damned in this place.
Tempe's RedSeven Computers says it is about to become the first retail computer store in the United States to exclusively sell personal computers equipped with the Linux operating system.
On April 1, the store says, it will transition completely from the Windows operating system to Linux.
"For years, Windows users have been bringing their computers into our shop corrupted by a variety of viruses and spyware," said Michael Cady,
RedSeven president.
"We fix their systems and give them the tools they need to maintain them, but it's just a matter of time before they're back with the very same problems. Linux will allow our customers to spend more time using their computers and less time fixing them."
An industrial complex is slated for 15 acres on the southeast corner of Warner Road and Delaware Street in Chandler. ViaWest Properties says a first phase on west side of the property will include six buildings ranging from 13,000 to 20,000 square feet.
Also, joint venture partners Ryan Companies and Citigroup has sold Chandler Freeways Business Park, a 170,647-square-foot, two-story office building for $21.1 million.
The property was bought by the Landwin Group, a private investor based in Encino, Calif.
A survey by the Progressive Group of Insurance Companies shows Harley-Davidson riders make good billboards for the motorcyclemaker.
Progressive found Harley riders are three times more likely than those who ride Suzukis, Yamahas or other bikes to own clothing or artwork that displays the brand of motorcycle they ride.

add a shower to mobile home garden tub
hello all,
im ray, and i gotta question. i have a mobile home garden tub, kinda triangular and i my plan is to add a shower feature to the tub and rip out the tiny phone booth shower and make it into a linen closet. the faucet for the garden tub is on top of the garden tub. the question is: do they make a faucet with a diverter that will work on my garden tub so i can use the faucet to fill the tub or "divert" for a shower? i havent found any such. and does anyone know of a practical way to do this. i know i need a curved shower rod and i will have to water proof the walls. this is the least of the problem. i need a faucet that will work with this. any suggestions?
There's hundred of differant controls that will work.
Things your going to have to deal with in most mobile homes is partical board subfloors, I've even seen 1 X's used for wall studs, may find old Quest plumbing that there was class action law sutes againt.
Just trying to give you a heads up on what to expect.
My first concern would be that using a drop in tub in this manner with a deck mounted faucet, is that your shower water is going to splash all over the faucet, and you're going to get water going underneath it.
The best route IMO would be to rip the whole thing out and start new. I don't think you're going to find something that will hook up to the valve you already have in place and do what you want it to do.
2 Attachment(s)
I made the whole bathroom into one big shower pan. Works great.
RedGard on the (plywood) floor then Epoxy.
The walls are FRP.

Obama Seeks $634 Billion for Health Care
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama is asking Congress to raise taxes on the wealthy and cut Medicare costs to provide health care for the uninsured while making the just-enacted $400 tax cut for most workers permanent.
In a budget blueprint easily exceeding $3 trillion for 2010, Obama proposes setting aside $634 billion over the next decade to expand government subsidized health coverage -- a little more than half the money needed to ensure that every American gets medical care.
Obama is also expected to ask Congress for an additional $75 billion to cover the costs of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan through September.
The disclosures came from three administration officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the budget won't be made public until later Thursday.All told, the deficit for the ongoing 2009 budget year would reach $1.75 trillion, up from a $1.5 trillion estimate revealed just days ago by the White House. The increase seems to reflect concerns that more money may be needed to rescue banks and other companies. Obama's budget proposal would effectively raise income taxes and curb tax deductions on couples making more than $250,000 a year, beginning in 2011. By not extending former President George W. Bush's tax cuts for such wealthier filers, Obama would allow the marginal rate on household incomes above $250,000 to rise from 35% to 39.6%, said an administration official. Individuals making more than $200,000 would pay the higher rate. About half of what officials characterized as a $634 billion "down payment" toward health care coverage for every American would come from cuts in Medicare. That is sure to incite battles with doctors, hospitals, health insurance companies and drug manufacturers.

Marble Half Shiva Half Hanuman 16" Item # 65m42
Price: $795
Please take a minute and click here to tell us about your experience with Lotus Sculpture, our customer service and how you like your statue. We appreciate your feedback!
I had ordered the andal and I was worried how the details would be as to the features. I absolutely loved it and it has the ancient looks of Indian sculptures and the features were sharp. The item arrived in couple of days and I was thrilled. I collect antiques and Indian artifacts and I am sure I will be a frequent customer at your store. I think I have found my "go to " shop for Indian relics. Thank you so much SavithaReviewer:Savitha (Saratoga, California, US)
beautiful Shiva lingam statue. thank you.Reviewer:amit (Porter, Texas, US)
Just wished Kyle would have been a little bit more honest with me. Other than that these are the best Statues I have seen anywhere on the internet. I love every purchase I have ever made from Lotus Sculpture.Reviewer:Marc Vincent Guin (London, UK, GB)
I am a Set Decoration Buyer for a television series on a major network. Lotus Sculpture provided us with fast, efficient services, and their product was just as they described. It was a pleasure working with them, and I will be ordering from them in the future. Lotus Sculpture rocks!Reviewer:Beth Robinson Bromley (Wilmington, North Carolina, US)
Very easy to order to work with and VERY prompt deliveryReviewer:Rodney Steman (Grapevine, TX, US)
Lotus Sculpture is obviously run by a person with a great eye for sculpture and a passion for what he does. Kyle is a pleasure to do business with. He is very professional, responsive and extends consideration to his buyers. Thank You!Reviewer:Joseph Losavio (Sandyston , NJ, US)
I was looking for religious statues for my home for quite a while. Every website I looked at was either too expensive or too confusing to navigate. Then I happened upon Lotus Sculpture. Not only was it the most user-friendly site I've ever seen, it also had the most reasonable prices. For the size and detailed carving of the statue you will not find a better price, unless you grab a block of wood and carve it yourself. The site allows you to first pick which religious statue you want then you can pick which size and then which material.....Brilliant!!!.. I had chosen my statues within minutes. Everything arrived professionally packed in 5 days all the way up to Canada. I even decided to call the number on the website to ask the owner Kyle a few questions and he literally answered on the first ring. He was very accommodating and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this store. My statues are getting rave reviews with my friends. Thanks again Kyle. Keep up the good work.Reviewer:Shaun Rangnekar (Brampton , Ontario , CA)
I love my Ganesha! The statue is beautifully and painstakingly carved with a great attention to detail. I will be using the statue also for spiritual practice and this Ganesha is perfect in that all the symbolic details are accurate, and there is a feeling that the energy of the deity is already in him and one can have an intimate contact with Ganesha. Also many thanks to Lotus Sculpture for the efficient and friendly service, and for getting him to me so fast! I will be shopping again with you!Reviewer:Sandra Cameron (Leeds, West Yorkshire, GB)
I ordered this sculpture as a gift to myself for the holidays. I have always had a statue of Lord Ganesha in my home - this one is wonderful! All that he represents and inspires in us I truly believe happens when we pay homage to him. He will be a treasured addition to my home.Reviewer:Lisa (Monroe, NY, US)
- Materials: Black Salem Stone from Salem, Tamil Nadu, India
- Total Height Including Base: 16 inches
- Base Width & Depth: 5 x 5.5 inches
- Weight: 17 pounds
- This amazing sculpture depicts Shiva on one side of the sculpture and lord Hanuman on the opposite side
- A very unique pairing of Gods!
- Shiva and Hanuman are hand carved from one piece of balck marble, competely one of a kind!
- The sculpture ships the same day from our California showroom
The brave and loyal friend of Lord Ram, Hanuman is on the opposite side of the sculpture. He has his hands pressed together in a typical greeting hand position. His long tail circles over his head with a small bell on the end of it. He has a warm and loving smile and a Viashnavite "V" shaped tilak on his forehead.
It is unusual to have the two figures of Hanuman and Shiva on one sculpture as Hanuman is more closely associated with Vishnu. Although Hanuman is a friend of all the gods!
The sculpture is hand carved from one piece of salem black marble. It is completely one of a kind! This is the only sculpture like this we will ever have.
About Hanuman
Hanuman is the son of Vayu, the Hindu God of Wind, and is looked upon by Hindus as the ultimate hero and great devotee of Lord Rama of the Ramayana. He represents the figure of the ideal being, as he is humble yet brave. His physical prowess, mental discipline and spiritual purity have made him extremely popular all over India.
He is a provider of courage, hope, knowledge, intellect and devotion. He is pictured as a robust monkey holding a mace or gada, which is a sign of bravery, and having a picture of Lord Rama tattooed on his chest, which is a sign of his devotion to Lord Rama.
He is also called Mahaveera (the great hero) or Pavan-suta (son of air) or Bajarangbali. In Tamil Nadu he is known as Anjaneya.
About the Artist
View the video below to meet Balan and see his marble workshop and see a little how the statues are carved:
White, red and black marble statues are easy to take care of as they just need some annual upkeep to keep them looking as they did when they were first carved. Here are some easy tips to keep your White, red and black marble statues from Lotus Sculpture looking like the gods they are:
- Dust the statue as needed to prevent dirt build up
- To make the statue shine use a cotton cloth to buff the sculpture
- You can use a small amount of natural oil such as coconut oil or olive oil to further polish the sculpture
- Use a tooth brush to get into the hard to reach spaces of the sculpture
- DO NOT TOUCH the painted surfaces of any of the white marble statues. This will damage the painting if done often

It's also promising that Durante has gone to great lengths to supplement the items of the show's title with all sorts of goodies: maps, photographs, vintage magazine and newspaper ads, and other information, including a glossary of 104 hat types.
A freestanding three-panel display nearby features some beautifully unassuming black-and-white photographic portraits (most of people in hats) by Lou Bernstein, who has spent decades taking pictures of ordinary people in New York City.
The friend who accompanied me to "Hats, Handbags & Gloves" turned to me as we exited the show and asked, "So, what did you think?" My response: "Is it art? Probably not. But is it fun and fascinating? You bet."

Male Nurse Demand?
- 0May 2, '09 by techraider77Is there one? In these economic times, are men at more of an advantage in finding a job? Thanks
- 2May 3, '09 by ThunderwolfGood question.
Since many men have entered the field over the years, I would imagine the novelty (and possibly the demand (?) per se) has worn off a tad bit.
So, ??????????
Looking forward to others input as well.Last edit by Thunderwolf on May 3, '09
- 1May 5, '09 by SCprincess08I don't see too many male nurses. It would be excellent if you becoma a nurse.
- 1May 8, '09 by Smitty08I don't think there is more demand for males, at least in my setting, but there is demand for experience, track record and such. And there is no discrimination against males that I have seen either. (I live in a progressive state)
- 1May 8, '09 by Roy FokkerThe question you really should be asking is "Is there a demand for nurses out there?"
Honestly, I didn't think the fact that I had a y chromosome made a smidgen of a difference when I got hired.
- 7May 9, '09 by Cul2Should there be a demand for more male nurses? How about these possible answers to that question.
Because any workforced that becomes dominated by one gender is not a healthy workforce.
Because a gender diversity in a workforce is a good thing.
Because some male patients would prefer a male nurse, especially for more private procedures -- just as some
female patients prefer female nurses. Right now that doesn't happen a good part of the time.
Because, generally, right now males in nurses are still novelities, they are merely tokens. Just look at the stats
of how many males and females in nursing.
Because when little boys and little girls go to hospitals or clinics or see advertisements about nursing, they're not stupid. They see the gender imbalance. But they don't see it as an imbalance. They see it as how things are and should be. The message to children is still that nurses are women.
Because if we really believe in gender equity than we should really practice gender equity.
Because the subtle, hidden message that comes out of nursing is that women are better suited as nurses. Is that true? If so, let's just say it openly and be done with the debate.
Because to open fields dominated by men, brave, couragous women political and social activists had to fight. It just didn't happen. It took political work, sometimes lawsuits. It took affirmative action and quotas. It took special incentives, including grants and awards to help women. That may be necessary in nursing.
Because we wouldn't accept it today if 95 percent of doctors were men, would we? Why should we accept that 95 percent of nurses are women.
If, as Roy says, our chromosomes don't matter, then let's spread the chromosomes around a little.
Because fair is fair. Women in male dominated work forces have added so much good to society. Males will do the same thing in female dominated workforces like nursing.
These comments are in no way mean to disparage the wonderful female nurses (and male nurse) in the field. But the data is in. Diverse workforces, gender-wise, are a good thing. Single-gender workforces tend to promote single-gender thinking, biases, prejudices, etc. Women and men have their differences. Let the differences work together to produce better solutions to the many problems healthcare is facing today.
- 1May 10, '09 by Kevin RN08I hate to admit it, but I was thinking the same thing the other day. I just had pinning yesterday and have been applying for new grad positions since January-February and after a little tweaking of my resume to take less focus on my accounting/finance background and more on team aspects of my positions, I have had some good success 4 interviews at 3 hospitals with another this week. I have accepted a position, but feel I owe myself the opportunity to check out this last position and others that may be presented.
Back to the point, I've been asking myself this question ... am I having more success landing interviews than my female counterparts/classmates because I am a male? Or is it that I have 20 years of teamwork/teambuilding experience from being in the Navy? Or is it my age (42) and the fact that they consider me a "low risk" to move on right after I get my experience?
I know it isn't due to my grades, I was quite middle of the pack. I prefer to think it's because I have good base level skills, strong recommendations, and that I readily admit that I still have a TON to learn. I also tend to "let it all hang out" in an interview, I'm not afraid of my weaknesses and think it's only fair to acknowledge them to a potential employer.
- 0May 10, '09 by Batman24We are on a hiring freeze right now so male or female really wouldn't make a tad of difference. I feel terrible for new grads and anyone currently out of work. Depending on where you live it can be hard getting a job right now as a RN even for those with experience and it's even worse for new nurses.
We do have quite a few male nurses at my facility and two coincedentally work in L&D.
