You know there have been many times I helped People and the good times and feelings have out numbered the mistakes Ive committed and the thanks and returns are worth taking the chance! You , I and most of the guys on here every day probably feel the same way or we wouldn't be wasting our time wearing down our typewriter keys!!!
Jester And at 67 years old ! after being shot, stabbed, rolled Listening to the news of all the violence Etc Etc I still look for and see good in people Jester Hell,Whats life without the ups and downs LOL |
I need to get my 86 yr old father to stop watching news channels for many hrs a day and have him look at the clouds again. |
I had a 65 Chevelle SS for sale back in 73. I had stripped the parts off it I needed to use on my 64 and was selling it for $25. Yes it was still a driver. A couple came to my door and asked about the car, she did the talking. Wanted to know if they could have the car now and come pay in 2 weeks when he got his first check from his new job,(reason they needed a 2nd car). I went along with the deal, signed the title over 2 them and said see you in 2 weeks . I was just glad to get the thing gone, had no where to park it at the 4 plex we were renting. 2 weeks pass and they knock on the door, smiles on their faces and he hands me the $25 bucks and says thank you, you don't know how much this meant to us. |
Jester ,If i could get a trophy for you ,cause you win ,I just dont know what to put on it ..
I sold a mini mini van to a young couple with 3 kids, they were all crammed in a VW bug when they came to see the Dodge Colt Vista Van I had for sale. I was asking $1350 for it,( paid $400 for it, fixed the bad diaphragm on the carb and cleaned the interior up real nice.)
They looked it over, set the kids car seats in it to make sure they fit, did a test drive. Said they really would like to buy it and could give me $975 down and make $100 a month payments for the balance. I said ok. Signed the title over to them, they handed me their money. I handed her back a hundred dollars and told her, you don't have any payments, its all yours. They both cried. Young family trying to make it, no way I could take all their cash on hand or payments. I still made decent money, and their kids still got to have new shoes. |
That is so cool, yep, the feeling of helping someone like that lasts a lot longer than the money would. Brian |

"…you've got your Saturdays to play…"
As the first band found rummaging through Brian Slagel's garage without being surrounded by compilation crowds, Bitch's debut ep, released in Dec. '82 (along with Demon Flight's ep later that month), marks Metal Blade's initial jaunt out of fruitful Metal Massacre territory. Yeah, Bitch took side one, song two with "Live for the Whip", a track that's reincarnated with a slightly different face (and w/o bassist Richard Zusman) on the ep, a strong though somewhat repetitive tune, but did it prove Bitch was an act that had distanced itself from its compilation competition? Well, there were two future major label enlisters in Black n' Blue and Malice (the latter of which has two tracks that I'm assuming was to take up the slack Steeler (US) and Ratt left when they were ousted from the lp's original first pressing). There's the already battle-proven Cirith Ungol scorching the start of side two. Then two soon-to-be-Metal Bladers Demon Flight and Pandemonium and an Avatar that would disappear in a flash of octane. Oh yeah, and Metallica. Some pretty tough challengers considering all but Avatar made a dent somewhere however small, but Bitch wasn't the most weak-kneed of the bunch. Basically, this leathery quintet was right on target with the times, and that was just fine with most fans.
Betsy and her fundamentally-capable entourage of future crappy Killen guitarist David Carruth and drummer Rob Settles and west coast Overkill bassist Ron Cordy motor along with a dog collared, mild bruiser image that at this time hadn't felt the full cat-o-nines of their S&M motif, punky in its simplistic arrangements and attitude but at the same time threw hints of intricacy around for that nwobhm bit o' confusion. With one of those throaty, big girl voices, Betsy comes across like a slightly chunkier Pat Benatar who's unwilling to haul off with high notes and the chick that dueted with Meatloaf on his Bat Out of Hell lp; basically a meaty would-be heartbreaker with her cleavage in your face.
Really, there's only one song here that lives up to the band's now-known pleasure n' pain reputation. "Live for the Whip" starts more like Mythra's "Killer" for that British touch, but is also actively integrated into the appealing fast/slow display of disparity that see-saws the main rhythm where Settles's cymbals crash from all angles, minting up the stylishly bluesy and boring bad taste "He's Gone", the song before this, can leave in one's mouth; if she subjected me to this snoozer more than two and a half times I'd be gone too. The rest of the disc is acceptable without being exceptional as catchy, half-caste "Never Come Home" is sandwiched between energetic and somewhat corny-lyriced opener "Saturdays" and the dirtier, stone-ground rumbler of a title tune.
Be My Slave, the group's follow-up full-lengther, is slapped around by more of the famed Bitch notoriety that would also kick their live shows around.
Enjoyable, though less memorable musically than as a Metal Blade personal landmark. Hell, I'd consider that novelty an honor.
Heh, now this would be what I call a fun band.
Bitch doesn't rely on amazing instrumental virtuosity, or clever compositions, nor should they rely on the vocal skills of Betsy (heck she sings false half the time). However they went strong largely on image.
Tong-in-cheeck of course, and considering our day and age they were hardly shocking at all, and far from extreme.
Actually I shouldn't bagatelize their musical abilities. The opener 'Saturdays' is a pretty solid (rock & roll) song (with metal-riffs). The refrain is pretty catchy, just like the rest of the song actually, only they could've cut out 15 seconds from the middle IMO.
The second track 'Never Come Home' even could've scored a top-hit if you ask me (I don't know if it actually did or any of the other songs did..), with the decent vocals.
Damnation Alley is solid metal, although some of the limits of Betsy's voice come a bit to the foreground here. On the other hand she adds a unique feel to the song this way. Can't say I dislike the song!
'He's Gone' really is the only lesser track on this EP, a bit non-interesting, country-ish rock.
'Live For The Whip', the closing track, is just simply funny, although this would be the most shocking part of the whole EP, including the improvised whipping-sounds and Betsy's moaning.
Bitch never was one of the greats, but if you see this EP lying around in a store near, buy it.

John Public - Freedom People
Artist: John Public
Producer: 6th Sense
Album: Re-Gifted
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 14 votes )
November 11, aka Veterans Day, is a time to celebrate those who served, and in many cases sacrificed their lives to keep the U.S. safe. While we're honoring the troops, though, it's important to remember that patriotism is as much about promoting socioeconomic justice as it is about military exploits. Making its world premiere here in the Booth, John Public's latest offering couldn't be a more timely reminder. This updated version of Freedom People, a cut previously featured back in March, finds the Jersey native (and freestyle series alum) trading D Jay Cas' funk samples for a muscular, guitar-driven beat by 6th Sense, who laces the record with snippets from FDR's historic speech, "The Four Freedoms." Though Public tones down his delivery to match the darker production, his words hit home just as powerfully as before – particularly impactful is his call for the government to "Invest a trillion in the people, books, schools." Those digging the latest version of this populist banger can hear more on his Booth-sponsored Re-Gifted: The Thrift Shop Experience mixtape, set to hit our front page Dec. 7.

Nourishing Cleanser contains a couple of vitamins and skin-conditioning agents that aren't all that helpful in a cleanser because they are rinsed from skin so quickly. This is otherwise a standard but good water-soluble cleanser suitable for all skin types except very oily. The tiny amount of corn and soybean oil should not pose a problem for those with blemish-prone skin.
This hydrating formula goes beyond clean by maintaining skin's moisture and revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion.
Water, Acrylates Copolymer, Alkyl Polyglucose, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glycerin, Sodium Cocoyl, Isethionate, Glycol Distearate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamide Mea, Laureth 10, PEG-150 Distearate, Methyl Gluceth-20, Propylene Glycol, Glycolic Acid, Mannitol, Cellulose, Mica, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Palmitate, Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate Copolymer, Talc, Triethyl Citrate, Titanium Dioxide, Red 30, Ultramarines, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Panthenol, PEG-7, Glyceryl Cocoate, Peroxidized Corn Oil, Soybean Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Wheat Germamidopropyldimonium Hydroxypropyl, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben
Alpha Hydrox At-A-Glance
Strengths: A good selection of well-priced, effective AHA products utilizing glycolic acid; also excels with skin-lightening and retinol products; a small but workable selection of cleansers.
Weaknesses:A couple of moisturizers with oxygenating ingredients; reliance on jar packaging for some products with antioxidants.
Known primarily for their well-formulated AHA products, Alpha Hydrox got an impressive image update recently. Although the improvements were more visual and packaging-related than formulary-driven, the fact remains that Alpha Hydrox has a formidable range of effective AHA products, all with definitively researched glycolic acid. Kudos to the company for continuing to be direct about the AHA content (and pH) of their exfoliants, something most other lines selling AHA products prefer to keep a mystery. Should the folks behind this brand choose to go back to the drawing board once again, they would do well to reconsider their current jar packaging if they intend to keep adding antioxidants and other beneficial ingredients to their efficacious but still predominantly basic products. Until then, you can rely on Alpha Hydrox for supplying AHA products that really work, and a few other surprises too, all affordably priced and readily available.

In my last blog, I looked at the evolution of technology as we move to virtualization. What will this new development mean for business models, industry developments and industry players?
Virtualization means that everything will run on commodity hardware - the same as the rest of the commercial world. No proprietary equipment, just generic devices and servers running software. Who will build the data centers? Probably the same set of companies that build data centers for everyone else. That is, not necessarily network equipment companies or phone companies.
Who will write the software? Presumably the network equipment companies, at first. But the cost of entry into a software-driven industry is much lower than the cost of entry into a hardware-dominated industry. Mass-producing software is far less expensive than mass-producing hardware, so new players will rapidly emerge and some of them will prosper. Just as likely, some of the existing players will not. An industry with thousands of large, medium and small companies has different dynamics than an industry dominated by a few giants.
Will communications service providers (CSPs) get into the software business? They understand how networks work, and the move to virtualization provides a new playing field in which CSPs stand as good a chance as any of creating new, reliable and secure software. Why shouldn't the CSPs work together in a sort of almost-open-source movement, share their products and services and reap the financial benefits?
And then who will design the networks and do the network capacity planning? Ultimately, the network will do most of that itself. Just as it is possible to write code that writes more code according to rules, it is possible to write code within the network that not only manages the traffic, but identifies when and where new capacity is needed, and installs itself in the newly activated devices. Where do those devices and servers come from? Anywhere; they are generic, standardized and commoditized.
Who will create network capacity by actually placing the building blocks in position? Some humans may do this, or maybe robots, but they don't need to work for the phone company. They could work for a sub-contractor or one of the companies that today we think of as equipment vendors. Or perhaps that is a whole new industry, in the same way house builders don't have to make bricks, or be architects, real estate agents or landlords. They just build and sell.
So who will actually own the network assets? It could be anyone, even a company that has no actual end users as customers. Virtualization, and all that goes with it, will make it possible to own network assets, and to offer those assets as capacity for others to rent. That capacity could then be used by whatever CSP needs it most at the time, and is willing to pay for it.
CSPs will both own and rent capacity, or rather their automated agents will do so on their behalf, guided by rules that will be developed initially by human coders, but which will evolve and be optimized by more software. And the fact that all network capability can be addressed by anyone with access means that we could end up with a rich network of niche relationships, with services appearing and disappearing like twinkling stars.
Users of the network today are somewhat imprisoned: they have limited choices of service providers and services. It may be in the interests of CSPs to keep it that way for a while, but ultimately the capabilities of the technology will create a completely new type of customer. The Internet has shown us the model: people can go almost anywhere they want to. But let's not confuse "The Internet" with "The Network." The global telecommunications network is bigger than the Internet, and actually contains it. It is this larger, all-containing global network that is being virtualized by network functions virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN). Soon the flexibility and power created by this move to virtualization will spawn all sorts of new services driven by whoever wants them and is willing to pay their share for capacity. The Internet as we know it will be just one particular mode of networking. NFV and SDN can, and probably will, lead to a multiplicity of Internet-like services, both competing and collaborating, with different purposes and philosophies. Some of those exist just now, in the form of commercial, governmental and academic intranets, but we should expect more when anyone can address the network, define the necessary capabilities and use them as needed. These individuals can also sell them to others with any type of charging arrangement: charging for time or for capacity used, by content consumed, or subscription by the hour, the year or the second. And if you need a content delivery network, you can rent space on those built by others, independent of other business relationships you might have. Or you can build one yourself.
So monthly bills? Well, remember the hansom cabriolet? It's cute, but not what we need today.
What other business processes may soon become outdated? Let us know on Twitter.

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

By Carmen Gonzalez The industrial software market has treated data with the mentality of "collect everything now, worry about how to use it later." We now find ourselves buried in data, with the pervasive connectivity of the (Industrial) Internet of Things only piling on more numbers. There's too much data and not enough information.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Bob Gates, Global Marketing Director, GE's Intelligent Platforms business, to discuss how realizing the power of IoT, software developers are now focused on understanding how industrial data can create intelligence for industrial operations.

By Carmen Gonzalez Operational Hadoop and the Lambda Architecture for Streaming Data
Apache Hadoop is emerging as a distributed platform for handling large and fast incoming streams of data. Predictive maintenance, supply chain optimization, and Internet-of-Things analysis are examples where Hadoop provides the scalable storage, processing, and analytics platform to gain meaningful insights from granular data that is typically only valuable from a large-scale, aggregate view. One architecture useful for capturing and analyzing streaming data is the Lambda Architecture, representing a model of how to analyze rea... Mar. 1, 2015 02:00 PM EST Reads: 1,373 |

My Sentinel, Professionals and one lone Starsky & Hutch story are here http://www.idol-pursuits.tv/ I joined the E/O Challenge Drabble community over a year ago, and since then my page has been overrun by drabble posts.

Read-only memory disk with AgOx super-resolution mask layer
Chinese Optics Letters, Vol. 3, Issue 2, pp. 113-115 (2005)
Acrobat PDF (213 KB)
A novel read-only memory (ROM) disk with an AgOx mask layer was proposed and studied in this letter. The AgOx films sputtered on the premastered substrates, with pits depth of 50 nm and pits length of 380 nm, were studied by an atomic force microscopy. The transmittances of these AgOx films were also measured by a spectrophotometer. Disk measurement was carried out by a dynamic setup with a laser wavelength of 632.8 nm and a lens numerical aperture (NA) of 0.40. The readout resolution limit of this setup was ?/(4NA) (400 nm). Results showed that the super-resolution readout happened only when the oxygen flow ratios were at suitable values for these disks. The best super-resolution performance was achieved at the oxygen flow ratio of 0.5 with the smoothest film surface. The super-resolution readout mechanism of these ROM disks was analyzed as well.

Apple pulls Match.com app for violating App Store policy, skirting 30% cut
Apple has removed an app by Match.com because the developer allowed users to subscribe to the dating service via a direct link within the app, a violation of Apple's App Store policies for in app subscriptions.Apple's policy states "Apps can read or play approved content that is subscribed to or purchased outside of the app, as long as there is no button or external link in the app to purchase the approved content," wording that supports services like Amazon's Kindle app, Netflix, or Hulu.
Match.com sells subscriptions to its online dating service that would similarly pass App Store rules if its app hadn't included a link directing would-be subscribers to sign up for the service on the company's own site, rather than offering only in app subscriptions that go thorough Apple's servers, for which Apple asks for its 30 percent revenue cut.
Apple's subscription policies have drawn criticism from a variety of companies that insist that they can't afford to split their revenue with Apple in exchange for gaining access to the App Store market the company created for iOS devices.

Falcon Event
All Purpose SaddlesFor Sale on eBay Manufacturer: Jeffries
Model: Falcon Event
Category: All Purpose Saddles
Purchase: After much research, I decided on a Jeffries brand saddle because of their reputation, quality and price. I also wanted a comfortable saddle, I had ridden in a Passier and Keiffer and thought them both very hard and unyielding to my seat. I purchased my saddle new from Kelly's Tack Shop off the internet for less than 1200.00 in 2003. Whom I highly recommend, also.
Likes: The saddle is every thing I had hoped it would be. The seat is deep and soft, and puts you in the correct position for flat or jumping with little thought from the rider. I have used it on my thoroughbred and am currently using it on my quarter horse, Beau. Beau has plenty of personality, and displays it with a few moves that the Lippazaners would be envious of. In other words, he likes to buck, before jumps, over jumps and after jumps. I credit the saddle for helping me stay on top.
Dislikes: Absolutely nothing!
Quality: Beautiful stitching, high quality leather and workmanship. But most important, very comfortable.
Summary: Buy one!

540 Tasting Notes
I am working on drinking the tea bags that I took from my fiancee's house. This smells like toasted rice. It has a thick body and is nice and toasty. It is starting to make me wish I had toast for breakfast instead of cereal.
It is a little astringent, but not too much. Just enough that it makes me feel like my tongue is dry even though I just had a sip. Overall, pretty good.
The kitchen has been uncovered from the plastic it was encased in! Yay, I can use the stove and the kettle now!
I have always been curious about honeybush, so when I saw that my fiancee had this in his assortment, I snapped it up because he didn't really want to try it for himself.
It brewed up as dark as any black tea would have brewed up. Maybe even a little darker. It looks almost like coffee in my cup right now. It smells a little twiggy, but not earthy. Just twiggy.
The bag said to brew it for 5-6 minutes, so I hit five and decided that was long enough. Hmmm. I'm not quite sure what to say for this one. It tastes very smooth and non-twiggy which was a nice surprise. The few times I had roobios it tasted very twiggy and woody. Since honeybush is supposed to be similar to roobios, I expected it to taste similar to it.
My first taste on the tip of my tongue hit a bubblegum note, but I think that must have been a fluke. I taste no hint of bubblegum the more I sip on it. I think I am getting a faint sweetness on the back of my tongue, but I'm not positive.
It doesn't taste like tea, but it tastes good. The packet said it was good with milk and I am wondering if I should pour a little in just to try it that way since I'm not getting that much flavor out of it. Just smooth and slight sweetness. I'm taking a few bigger gulps and I am getting a sweet aftertaste now.
Hmm…I think I like it how it is, but I want to add a splash of milk since I do want to try it both ways and I only have one tea bag. The milk adds the creamy mouthfeel and while the sweet doesn't pop out, it does make it feel like a dessert tea. I feel like I just indulged on something more along the line of a bit of caramel or some toffy. I know I didn't, but it feels like I did. The aftertaste I get now screams caramel.
This makes me want to try some flavored honeybush teas because if a bit of tea can turn the base into caramel, imagine what a little bit of added flavor could do.
If I ran across this in the store, I would get a box so I could double brew it and try it iced!
A nice cup of earl grey to chase away the desire for hot cocoa. My last cup of tea I had at my fiancee's house. It might be my last cup of tea for a little bit because mom and dad are re-modeling the kitchen. I might be able to sneak in some green tea or white tea later tonight if I can get to the hot water kettle safely.
My fiancee made this and let me take a few sips of it because I wanted to try it. It confused me because it smelled like a normal pu-erh (dusty and full of damp earth) but when I tried it I tasted flowers. It was light and smooth and floral. It felt like it was a contradiction to my senses. I think I like the chocolate pu-erh better.
I really should know better than to try a delicate new tea at my fiancee's house when he really doesn't have a good way to warm up water. This is why I normally stay with black teas at his house.
It didn't taste like much. Just water with a light splash of rose. I don't want to discount this tea because I think it will taste better if I could brew it right. Next time it pops up in the assortment, I am taking it home and brewing it where I know I can get the water temperature a little lower.
I've been at my fiancee's house this weekend and I've been drinking his tea. Luckily he doesn't mind too badly and he keeps a box of Aged Earl Grey at his house just in case I show up and want tea.
I decided that I wanted to try something different and this was the tea I picked. I have been wanting bold teas and I decided to take a risk with this chai. It was delicious! Most chais don't taste like much to me, but with this one it was richly flavored with spice and I could taste the tea underneath.
I've been having a hot cocoa problem, but I think I need to find either this chai or a similar chai to get me over that. Just the strength I have been wanting with lots of nice flavor.
I need to start kicking my cocoa habit I have developed recently. I have been drinking up to 3-4 cups of cocoa a day. That is way too much for my liking. I think I might have to find some good chocolate teas and ask for a nice big tin for my upcoming birthday (in a few months so I have time to decide).
Back to watching Star Trek TNG with my mom, indulging in my TARDIS mug, and knitting the final bit on my big blanket.
I have decided that my family doesn't put quite enough sugar in our iced tea. Either that or I need to take my sweet tooth down a few notches. I think we also need to find another tea to make iced tea out of because we keep drinking up mom's supply in a few short days.

World Whisky of the Year - 2010
Jim Murray's Whisky Bible
The nose offers rich, savoury spices on a bed of dried fruits and peels. There are effortless, tumbling whirls of stone fruits and coffee beans, traces of cigar leaf sweetness and thick chunks of oak. The palate develops, toffee sweet, with exotic spice. Creaking oak clings ever present with about as much forceful rye as one can imagine. This is sublime, powerful stuff. A sparkling finish of oak, spice and red berries.

Long-lived Mars orbiter running on backup computer BY STEPHEN CLARK SPACEFLIGHT NOW Posted: November 12, 2012 NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter, the longest-working craft ever sent to the red planet, has switched to a backup set of equipment after engineers noticed degradation in the probe's primary navigation unit, the space agency announced Monday.
The unit contains a spinning gyroscope and senses changes in the orbiter's orientation, enabling precise pointing of Odyssey's communications antenna, solar arrays and science instruments, according to JPL. Managers decided to transition Odyssey to a backup main computer and associated B-side systems, including a separate inertial measurement unit, before the A-side unit failed. Engineers say the A-side inertial measurement unit still has at least a few months of useful life, and Odyssey could be switched back to the A-side systems temporarily if troubles arise with the B-side computer in the future. The B-side systems have not been used since before Odyssey's launch in April 2001. "The side-swap has gone well," said Gaylon McSmith, Odyssey's project manager at JPL. "All the subsystems that we are using for the first time are performing as intended." The orbiter serves as a communications relay between Earth and NASA's Curiosity and Opportunity rovers, receiving and transmitting commands and science data between controllers and the robots on the Martian surface. Odyssey relayed data to Earth on Sunday from the Opportunity rover via the orbiter's B-side UHF communications radio, according to JPL. Later this week, Odyssey will resume science operations and relay data between Earth and the Curiosity rover. Along with Odyssey, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiters can also relay communications between the rovers and Earth. The rovers also have a limited ability to communicate directly with Earth. Built by Lockheed Martin Corp., Odyssey arrived in orbit around Mars in October 2001 after a six-month cruise from Earth. "It is testimony to the excellent design of this spacecraft and operation of this mission in partnership with Lockheed Martin that we have brand-new major components available to begin using after more than 11 years at Mars," McSmith said in a statement. The switch to the orbiter's backup computer is the second instance this year of one of Odyssey's major systems showing signs of aging. One of Odyssey's three prime reaction wheels used for attitude control failed in June. Controllers activated the orbiter's spare reaction wheel, which is skewed at an angle to the other three wheels to serve as a substitute for any of them. Another reaction wheel failure could cause Odyssey to use rocket thrusters to control its orientation, drawing on the craft's limited supply of propellant and hastening the end of its mission. Before the reaction wheel anomaly, Odyssey had enough fuel to last until about 2020, according to a senior NASA official. |

I thought Martin Luther King Day might be a good time to reflect on the forces that make workplaces less diverse than they can and should be. Many are well-known and well-documented, including discriminatory hiring and promoting practices, lack of disability accommodations, insensitivity to gender-identity issues, unequal pay … the list goes on.
But as this recent piece in the Kansas City Star points out, it's not just about tangible practices and accommodations — or lack thereof. It can be far more subtle and hard to pinpoint, writer Michelle T. Johnson says, when your diversity culprit is favoritism. As she writes:
"What does favoritism even look like? Favoritism is usually about choice. In some workplaces, the work and the people who do it don't have much variance in how the work is done and who does it. However, in other workplaces, work decisions are made frequently — assignments, shifts, territories, days off. With most decisions come subjective judgments. Every industry and workplace is so different, yet everyone can probably relate to some area of the job that bosses influence [subjectively] at least weekly."
Her advice to all managers and HR leaders is to always be examining "why you make the personnel decisions you do." She continues:
"People are quick to defend their decisions, saying they base them on the best person to do the job. But over time, what conditions have you created to allow, for example, one person to inevitably do the job better than another? And if that has happened, what is the reason? Is it that the person reminds you of yourself or has similar interests, or because the person has a personality you find easier to get along with?"
Favoritism can be just that simple, she says. Some people make you spontaneously smile when they walk through the door. Others make you instinctively come up with an exit plan out of a conversation. "Know who those people are and go from there," she says.
Granted, not all employers can be as proactive as Intel was in its recent announcement that Andrew McIlvaine blogged about earlier this month. Specifically, CEO Brian Krzanich shared in his keynote address at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas his company's plans to spend $300 million dollars over the next five years to improve the gender and racial diversity of its U.S. employee base, and of Silicon Valley at large.
Though he made the announcement, the real powerhouse behind this initiative is Intel President Renée James, as this Fortune piece suggests. Since taking over the presidency in 2013, it says, James "has pushed to review a decade's worth of diversity data and commissioned a new hiring program that incentivized managers to hire more women and minorities."
Whichever end of the initiative spectrum you and your organization currently find yourselves on — boldly spending and going where few have gone, like Intel, or simply taking the kind of inward look at your management and personnel choices suggested by Johnson — there's no better time than now to start thwarting your business' inequality and no better day to get started than this one.

Norwegian Sky Cruise Review by MJBERW: Pride of Aloha - Hawaii

Compare Prices on Norwegian Sky Hawaii Cruises
Pride of Aloha - Hawaii
It astounds me at how poor the service was aboard this ship. We arrived on board for our honeymoon and two of our bags did not. I was able to dress to the nines but my spouse only had the clothes that she wore on. No matter how much we complained, no one would look for the bags. As it turns out the bags were at the dock all of the time, in a room for missing luggage?? (I would never have thought to look in a room for missing luggage to find missing luggage). My wife was in tears and would not leave the stateroom most of the cruise. When we went to dinner, the wait staff would place us in dark corners away from the rest of the customers making her feel that her appearance was not satisfactory for their dining rooms.
The shore excursions were extremely overpriced and dull. We had 10 minutes to look and then they would scoot us along to the next locale.
The food was poor. No that is not accurate. It was unimaginative and everything was bland. The quality was no better More
then the school lunch lines that most of us had the pleasure of experiencing in public school.
We were offered a whole whopping $100 dollars for my wife to buy clothes onboard ship. I have to say that this was extremely satisfying since this allowed her to buy a bathrobe. The onboard store is extremely pricey with a very little selection. Items that she needed to buy were not available. We went shopping at Wal-Mart for one day of our trip. I was so looking forward to coming to Hawaii to check out Wal-Mart!
The entertainment was juvenile and didn't appeal to me. It felt like the staff was trying to babysit and not entertain. Finally, the staff was unhelpful, incompetent (at least the ones who were looking for our bags), and at best not very compassionate and at worst rude.
My experience left me wishing that I had scheduled oral surgery for this week. For a comparable price, it would have made for a much more pleasant experience.
I almost forgot the stateroom that they advertise and the one that I actually got were not similar. They caveat in their document but I paid for the best balcony room category and got a very small, cramped room. Less

Join Us For This Exclusive Online Webinar:
"Positioning Your Product or Service To Deliver Maximum Value"
Presented by Jim Matheson, Partner, Flagship Ventures & President/CEO, Oasys Water
So... you have a new product or service that can
change the world, or at least make you a few bucks!?!
You're on your way! But, here are a few key questions:
- Who do you think will buy "IT"?
- Why will they buy "IT"?
- How much are they willing to pay for "IT"?
- Who else is making something like "IT"?
- And how much (more?) do you need to invest
before you can find out if "IT" will fly?
In this informative and interactive Webinar, we'll talk about
how to approach these important questions, and how to work through a process to truly communicate the essence of your
product or service.
What you'll learn in this Expert Series Webinar:
- What the heck is a "Value Proposition?"
- How to define and determine the "Value Proposition"
for YOUR product or service - How to define (and hopefully access) potential customers
for this new product or service - How to understand and evaluate the competition
- How to think about the level of investment you need to make... and when to walk away
