CHANDIGARH: The Haryana Government has chalked out a Rs.1,073-crore plan envisaging strengthening, widening and four-laning of roads besides construction of by-passes and railway over-bridges, Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda said here on Tuesday after reviewing the working of the PWD (B and R) Department.
He disclosed that a loan would be obtained from the National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB). A proposal for constructing three railway over-bridges and nine road works worth Rs. 338 crore has also been sent to the NCRPB.
Mr. Hooda directed Commissioner and Secretary (PWD) K.K. Jalan to make efforts to get the proposal cleared from the NCRPB so that the works could be speeded up.

Yet another underappreciated Tex-ass band, Really Red's first LP is utterly mind blowing from start to finish. Their songs follow no convention, boiling in the same musical melting pot where the Minutemen and early Wire swam. The vocals often call to mind D. Boon, who also could convey fierce emotion whether he was singing or shouting, joking or railing. The music, jerky and disjointed but also almost infectiously danceable, also follows the Minutemen formula of jangly guitar, heavy-bottomed bass, and expressive drumming. Almost every song is a highlight here, with anthems like "Too Political?" and "Run 'Em Out" providing ample shout-along lines. The title track, with its menacingly anxious bass line and shakily spoken lyrics "Take one chicano with his hands cuffed behind his back..." is one of the most haunting political punk songs ever written. When it explodes into the chorus and Ronnie spits out "Teaching you the feeee-aaaar!" it really is a revelation. Likewise, the song "Starvation Dance" drives its point home not through the grotesque, graphic descriptions of third world misery in each verse, but during the maddening, idiotic chant of "Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance to starvation" sung over the catchy, upbeat chorus. My favorite tune is the more ambiguous "Aim Tastes Good," which calls to mind the fragmentary poetry of the first Gang of Four and Proletariat records. Another link between all the bands I've mentioned is that Really Red are goddamned smart. Intelligence is what holds this record together through political rants, strange episodic hardcore tunes, and an ode to Nico that seems to be dead serious. This is what pop music will sound like after the revolution.

'Golden ticket' holders try out Dubai's new metro…after the Sheikh
- By Michael Wilkerson<p> Michael Wilkerson, a journalist and former Fulbright researcher in Uganda, is a graduate student in politics at Oxford University, where he is a Marshall Scholar. </p>
Dubai's VIPs swarmed its new metro system for the grand opening, taking advantage of the unique date. To steal a line from Blake, it's good to be a Sheikh in Dubai:
When a giant clock reached 09:09:09 on 9/9/09, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Ruler of Dubai and Vice President of the UAE, swiped a personalised plastic card at a ticket barrier and took his place as the first passenger on a network that will, when finished, have cost an estimated Dh28 billion (US$7.6bn).
The first two trains were filled by VIPs but eventually, lucky members of the general public were allowed to take part in the festivities.
A little later, a third train left the Nakheel Harbour and Tower station with 400 members of the public, the winners of "golden tickets", picked from about 10,000 people who entered an online competition.
One of them, MV Martin, said: "I can't believe I am going to be part of history."
With all the layoffs in Dubai and abandoned luxury cars everywhere, the Metro could provide a cheaper transport option. Or maybe abandoned cars are still available for bargain prices?

I have upgraded from W7 to W8on my laptop. for a while all seemed well then suddenly and for no apparent reason IE 10 has decided it cant display any web pages. It is using bbc.co.uk as home and it keeps saying bbc.co.uk is not configured to accept http connections over "world wide web internet". My XP PC is getting on the net but slowly. I have tried with and without the router. nothing changes. I have tried the laptop on wifi and a cable to the router. Nothing changes. Is there any settings to tinker with? I have run various trouleshooters and done things like flushing DNS cache i have SSL and TLS running. Would try ipconfig but my command prompt seems to be greyed out in explorer. any ideas would be welcome. Regards B

Hi; thanks for the ideas. I was connected to the internet all the time I found how to get a cmd prompt and checked. The problem turns out to be a Microsoft update! yeah, lets hear it for Microsoft. If this happens to anyone go to installed updates and start deleting the most recent. I can only speak for me, but, In my case it turns out to be security update KB2805940. It is under Microsoft system or something like that. regards E

I wonder how much Bailey's is used in this recipe.
- September 22, 2010 at 8:39 am
The directions tell you to "Add the bailey's and the whiskey", but Bailey's is not in the ingredient list. I assume that the Baileys in the directions is a remnant from the Bailey's Irish Coffee recipe, which was probably used as a template for this recipe. Please correct this.
- March 19, 2015 at 4:43 pm
NIce recipe, makes good use of Irish Whiskey as well.
I wonder what it would be like to use a bit of Drumbuie instead of Whiskey. I know it's an Irish Coffee but I like to think the Scottish liquor would make it so nice

The sight of Earl Watson lingering on the court for up to 30 minutes following team practices over the past two weeks seemed bizarre.
The Thunder's newest third-string point guard hasn't played since March 11. And although Watson routinely would spend time after practice shooting before his benching, he's taken his regimen to another level lately, working with an assistant coach on 3-pointers almost daily.
On Wednesday, I found out why.
"I feel like through every obstacle you have opportunity," Watson said of his recent demotion. "And I feel like for me it's an opportunity for me to get better as a shooter. It's the first time I've ever had the opportunity to shoot the ball and get up a lot of shots."
Watson broke his right thumb last June while working out in L.A. He needed surgery on the finger and was expected to be out the rest of the summer and possibly the start of training camp. Watson hid his pain and played through the discomfort. But the numbers didn't lie.
After shooting a career-high 45.4 percent from the field last season and 37.1 percent from behind the 3-point line, Watson is hitting just 37.5 percent of his shots from the field and converting on a career-low 23.8 percent from 3.
The solution? Get up 300 shots a day on non-game days and 600 on game days.
"My hand is starting to feel better and I'm getting more comfortable," Watson said. "The doctor said it takes a full year to heal completely with any break and it's actually getting closer. I can tell the difference in my shot. I can tell the difference with the way the ball fits in my hand. It was getting better the last couple of games before the DNPs. So it's just a growth and for me that's exciting."

Hollywood Left and Right: How Movie Stars Shaped American Politics
October 01, 2012 // 4:00pm — 5:30pm
Steven Ross challenges the commonly held belief that Hollywood has always been a bastion of liberalism. The real story, he argues, is far more complicated. First, Hollywood has a longer history of conservatism than liberalism. Second, and most surprising, while the Hollywood Left was usually more vocal and visible, the Right had a greater impact on American political life, capturing a senate seat (Murphy), a governorship (Schwarzenegger), and the ultimate achievement, the Presidency (Reagan).
Thirteen Days and More: A Soviet Perspective on the Cuban Missile Crisis
September 24, 2012 // 4:00pm — 5:30pm
Fifty years ago, the world spent thirteen days transfixed as the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. engaged in a contest of wills over placement of Soviet missiles in Cuba. Svetlana Savranskaya will discuss behind-the-scenes maneuvers by Soviet second-in-command Anastas Mikoyan, revealing that the crisis lasted into November and involved plans by the U.S.S.R. to leave tactical nuclear weapons in Cuba, foiled not by U.S. resolve, but by Fidel Castro's own actions.

National Security vs. a Market Economy: A Cold War Dilemma
September 17, 2012 // 4:00pm — 5:30pm
The Cold War was an overarching reality for American presidents from Truman to George H.W. Bush. In fact, prosecuting the Cold War posed a profound dilemma for all presidents, but especially for Dwight D. Eisenhower. Wm. M. McClenahan, Jr. and Wm. H. Becker argue that economic policy was second only to national security in Ike's mind. How was the United States to engage in the Cold War without undermining American political democracy and a market economy? Preserving the American way of life was to Eisenhower the preeminent objective of the Cold War.
OFF-SITE CONFERENCE: United Atoms in a Divided World: The Early History of the International Atomic Energy Agency

Beyond that, the conference seeks to discuss the cultural, societal, and economic context of the IAEA's early history.
The 1967 War and the Demise of Arab Nationalism
September 10, 2012 // 4:00pm — 5:30pm
The defeat of Egypt and Syria in the 1967 is often described as a deathblow to pan-Arabism, and it did indeed gravely undermine the regime of Gamal Abdel Nasser. Egyptians, Syrians and Palestinians had in fact already begun to shift towards narrower nation-state nationalism even before the 1967 war, which merely confirmed this reorientation.

Free Ozzie Guillen!
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating is associate editor at Foreign Policy and the editor of the Passport blog. He has worked as a researcher, editorial assistant, and deputy Web editor since joining the FP staff in 2007. In addition to being featured in Foreign Policy, his writing has been published by the Washington Post, Newsweek International, Radio Prague, the Center for Defense Information, and Romania's Adevarul newspaper. He has appeared as a commentator on CNN International, C-Span, ABC News, Al Jazeera, NPR, BBC radio, and others. A native of Brooklyn, New York, he studied comparative politics at Oberlin College.
The newly revamped Miami Marlins just announced that they are suspending their new manager, Ozzie Guillen, for five games because of this comment made in a recent Time magazine interview:
"I respect Fidel Castro," Guillen said in the article. "You know why? A lot of people have wanted to kill Fidel Castro for the last 60 years, but that son of a bitch is still there."
Obviously, praising Fidel Castro in Miami is not really a great way to endear yourself to the hometown crowd. But in partial defense of Guillen, he didn't say Castro was a great leader, just that it's impressive that he's still alive and — somewhat — in power. That's as undeniably true as the statement was undeniably insensitive to Castro's victims.
I'm not really sure what the Marlins were expecting from their manager. Guillen has appeared on Hugo Chavez's radio program in his native Venezuela and said of the Castro ally, "Not too many people like the president. I do." His statements about Chavez are a little confusing. In September, he denied ever supporting Chavez, saying that his wife hates the president and asking "If I was supporting Chavez, do you think I would be manager of the Marlins?" But this week he said: "I respect (President) Obama, I respect (Venezuelan President Hugo) Chavez because I always respect people."
More importantly, Guillen is a famous loudmouth, who basically told Ben McGrath of the New Yorker last week that he believes part of his job as manager is to suck up as much media attention as possible so players can focus on the game. Mission accomplished!
(Notably, Guillen was not suspended in 2006 when he called sportswriter Jay Mariotti a "fag" then told the media that he's obviously not homophobic because he goes to Madonna concerts and WNBA games.)
Guillen became a U.S. citizen in 2006 and has a legal right to express his stupid opinions. If the Marlins management expected that he would understand that certain topics were off-limits, that's a bigger miscalculation than that ugly home run statue.

The new exams controller of Mumbai University has promised to clean up the flaws in the system and make the examination process less cumbersome for students.
Dinesh Bhonde, who took charge of his new responsibility on Saturday, said that although much of the process was online there were still too many forms to be filled and submitted and this required to be changed.
Bhonde, who was exam controller of the Nagpur-based Yashwantrao Chavan Open University, pointed to question paper leaks and the delay in declaring results as two of the major issues that required to be resolved.
"Examinations is a project for me. It will take some time to learn how the system works in the university. It won't be possible to make changes all of a sudden. One would have to design the system by removing the lacunae and this could take about a year," the new exam controller said.
Before his nearly three-year stint with the open university, Bhonde was with the state board for technical education for seven years and spent six years as exam controller with an autonomous polytechnic.
"Mumbai University students submit examination forms online. But why should they have to submit separate forms for examinations," he asked. Bhonde explained that his experience in handling exams for 30 lakh students of the open university would help him to improve things for Mumbai University students.
This may require the digitization of all student records, from admission to convocation.
"It is good that the university has started delivering question papers to colleges online. But, similarly, the process from appointment of the paper setter to generation of the question paper should also be secured to prevent leaks," Bhonde said. "My job is to make the system easy."

200A underground service upgrade
This was a straightforward 200A service upgrade job on the service side, but a nest of badly labeled branch circuit conductors in a shared raceway (3/4″ conduit) made re-connection at the new service disconnect/breaker panel more difficult than it could have been.
I include a GFCI receptacle with service equipment replacements/upgrades, and in this case I also installed a switched utility service light to facilitate finding breakers or further work at the service disconnect/distribution breaker panel location.

SDBoy brings you some hot gay Latino bareback boy fuck action in this scene featured in the promo. Latino boys always provide sensual gay porn, and their fucking is never boring! After losing the soccer ball amongst the banana trees, the lads trek down the hill to find it, but all they discover is their gay sexual lust for each other. Soon the clothes come of their white skinned young bodies and a studded tongue is blow jobbing two cocks at the same time (yep, it turns into a a gay Latino threesome). The fucking and ass pounding (mostly in a spit roast position) is energetic and the boys ensure they take turns before finishing up with a wad of cum being delivered onto an awaiting open mouth and tongue.

DGC Roundtable: How to fix Uber
The DGC Roundtable is moderated by our Fall Intern, Jamie Kurke.
Uber has been a hot brand ever since its inception but as of late, they've been in the news for all of the wrong reasons. With that in mind, this week's question was:
In light of recent bad press, what, if anything, should Uber do to clean up their brand image and regain trust from the public?
Maryliz Ghanem, Vice President:
Uber needs fixing and they need to show the public the measures they are willing to take to protect their customers. They need to put into action strict measures and guidelines, for example: third-party background checks, suspension and review of drivers with a spotty record, and dedicated customer services. They need to show their riders that they are serious about safety and put these protections in place.
Pat Wentling, Senior Account Executive:
Uber clearly is a hot brand with an in-demand product – it's practically become ubiquitous for traveling in New York City. The recent bad press, not to mention a satirical look from the writers at South Park, proves that Uber needs to commit to keeping their consumers safe and comfortable. The Uber team needs to publically promote a rigorous training and background check on each and every driver they employ, as well as a clear algorithm behind their pricing methods. If that means having fewer drivers in the interim, it's worth the price of regaining consumer trust.
Lexi Hewitt, Account Coordinator:
it is hard to ignore all of the negative attention Uber receives. Uber needs to be more responsive to the bad press that they're getting. Ignoring it is not going to make it go away, and they need to be proactive in their public relation efforts by getting ahead of negative stories. They should sympathize with their customers when they are unhappy and realize that what the media is saying about them does matter. Their business may be doing fine now, but I think that the negativity will inevitably catch up to them.
Claire Eisenberg, Senior Account Director:
- Be transparent – Many complaints from consumers are tied to being told that the ride would cost one amount and ultimately being charged astronomically more.
- Be reachable – Riders can't seem to get through to customer service when they have a problem. This typically leads to consumers airing their grievances in much more public forums.
- Take Action – With the most recent claim that a rider was kidnapped, it's shocking that the customer service tried to convince her otherwise. Are you kidding? Take this feedback seriously and take the appropriate legal actions.
For now, I'll stick with cabs.
Jamie Kurke, Intern:
Uber has been in hot water, it seems, since their dawn of time. Unless they conduct a serious overhaul, one of these times will be the last straw for their customers. I already have friends deleting the app and complaining about bad service or being afraid—especially when using UberX. While they do have a great business model, my advice would be to stop the expansion for now and focus on their existing customer base. A heartfelt apology from a high up exec and the promise of some driver training and more extensive screening would probably be the best way to gain back rider trust. It would certainly put me more at ease about requesting a black car instead of hailing a Yellow Cab.
Insights from Day One at ARF Re:Think 2014
The DGC team has been live from Advertising Research Foundation (ARF) Re:Think conference in New York City this week, soaking up all of the intelligent conversations and insights being shared around analytics and insights.
Day One focused explicitly on consumer engagement and how to make better decisions across platforms. Here are some of our key learnings from the first day:
Mobile is now. Carolyn Everson, VP of Global Marketing Solutions at Facebook, admitted that even the largest social network in the world was caught off guard by the rise of mobile. But the reality is, that with over five billion phones currently in use, consumers are constantly on the go – and usually active on more than one device. More than one-third of those five billion people are using at least three or more devices in a given day, and 60 percent of consumers start a task on one device and end on another. So what's the next step in mobile's evolution? Personalization.
Understand your fans. Peter Espersen, head of co-creation at LEGO, shared how the brand sought to understand the fans, tap into their passion for LEGOs, and then in fact produce what the fans want. After several petitions, LEGO created several limited edition series, including the infamous DeLorean Time Machine from Back to the Future, a Minecraft series, and the very first fan-petitioned LEGO, the Shinkai 6500, a Japanese submarine. Espersen explained that no one would have seen the fan demand for Shinkai or Minecraft but, given that LEGO allowed its fans' voices to be heard, it created what was wanted.
Insights can help create the story. When you leverage insights in the right way, you can tell the story the consumer actually wants to hear. That was the takeaway from ad legend Keith Reinhard, Chairman Emeritus of DDB Worldwide. Reinhard showed a famous State Farm ad from the 1960s, featuring the still-iconic "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there" jingle, and a real State Farm insurance agent based in Hawaii. "The insight was that the hometown neighbor is always there, which led to the "Like a Good Neighbor,'" said Reinhard, "Consumers could get their own personal neighborhood State Farm agent." The tagline is still used today.
The conversation was positive and encouraged the audience to question how brands are engaging with consumers. Even if you're doing something right, you can always look at new data or find another angle that resonates in a new way, generating more insightful campaigns and buzz.
DGC welcomes Eulogy!'s Antonia Harrison as part of Rising Star Program
Last week, DGC welcomed Antonia Harrison, Account Manager with our sister agency Eulogy!. Antonia was E!'s winner of our inter-agency Rising Star program, a contest offering the opportunity for a DGC'er and a Eulogite to spend a week across the pond at their respective sister agency. The charge was twofold – for each winner to share how PR is handled in their homeland, as well as learning the differences in PR (and culture in general) in their weeklong home away from home.
Below, Antonia shares with us some of her insights on how to "PR" in the U.K.
After spending a week at DGC, Antonia talks through her top (surprising!) learnings of how PR works in the U.S.
There were some distinct differences and many similarities but across the board PR (in the U.K. or the U.S.) is all about understanding the news, finding those great story nuggets, maintaining stellar reporter relations and proactively securing placements.
Creative Dept: Handle with Care
Last week, Nina DiSesa, a creative consultant at R3:JLB, had a column in Ad Age talking about how love and trust were necessary ingredients in successful relationships between clients and their advertising agencies. She defined a "successful" relationship as one steeped in the following:
1) Longevity. Love and trust made the client-agency relationship last a long, long time because it meant that during any rough patch, the account lead was able to empathize and smooth things over. Thus, throwing an account into review was a rare occurrence.
2) Solid relationships between the client and agency allowed the agency to feel comfortable taking chances to produce stellar creative. The constant threat of having to pitch against other agencies makes creative professionals insecure, and they freeze up.
3) Good relationships lead to a happy result. Agencies produce work that resonates with customers, and client sales go up.
4) If agency creatives feel that their client loves them, they'll go through walls to please that client. It's important for clients and even agencies themselves to nurture and support the creative.
DiSesa should know. For many years she was chairman chief creative officer of the New York office of McCann-Erickson. DGC's own CEO Sam DiGennaro wholeheartedly agreed with DiSesa's column, offering, in part, this insight (via online comments):
"… intimidation, 'gotchas' and fear tactics have the trickle-down effect of demoralized talent, marginalized results and, worst case, commoditized offerings. This hurts everyone in the long run."
A lot of others weighed in as well with equally interesting perspectives. Worth a read if you haven't seen it.
'Amercia' the Beautiful – A lesson in copy editing
From PowerPoints to cover letters, correct grammar and spelling are the lowest common denominators when it comes to mastery of the English language. Good copyediting skills are critical to any organization or writing endeavor.
We were reminded about the value of copyediting this week after Mitt Romney's team released an iPhone app that spelled "America" as 'Amercia.' One of the unspoken rules of running for President is being able to correctly spell the country you're trying to run. While I'm confident that Mitt didn't write this app himself, it goes to show how effective copyediting can make a difference between a strong pro-candidate tool and a small PR crisis.
With this in mind, I asked The Hit Board's resident copy editor, Kathy Sampey, to talk about some strategies and tips when they copyedit press releases, bylines, and even this blog post.
How did you learn to effectively copy edit? Was it from class, work, or just something you were always able to handle?
Kathy Sampey: I'm not a "copy editor" per se. It's a very specific skill, and people do it professionally. But yes, I first learned copyediting symbols in a college journalism class and became better at editing in general from working at the Associated Press.
What process goes into your copyediting? Is it on the screen, on paper, do you need private space and silence?
KS: First I give a piece of copy a read-through on screen but have discovered that printing something out to proofread and edit is far more effective. I catch a lot more to correct. When I print something out, I need to go to a quieter space to concentrate.
In the instance of Romney's "Amercia" incident, how do you avoid easy pitfalls such as misspelling and incorrect word usage?
KS: Everyone needs an editor. Everyone. So I would recommend always having a second or even a third pair of eyes proofread a piece of copy and by all means, print it out for people to review it.
When you do make an error and it's published, how do correct it?
KS: In the Internet age, correcting something is easy and quick. Obviously it's much harder in
Any good stories around errors?
KS: Yes, but I'm not sharing.
Are there any tips you could share to aspiring copy editors out there?
KS: That would be best answered by professional copy editors but it's good to at least be familiar with AP style.
Thanks to Kathy for their contributions. Remember – always, always, always have a second pair of eyes review your work before having it post.
Monday Morning Mad Men: Welcome back!
It's been a long 17 months since we've seen our friends at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. We're back in 1966 and SCDP is still trying to nail new business they desperately need. As we found out at the end of season four, Don has convinced Heinz to give them small piece of their business – the beans division – with the hopes of bringing attention to this often overlooked sub-brand (behind Ketchup). Thus, we find Peggy in the pitch room trying to sell in their first campaign idea to the client.
In the creative presentation, Peggy presents the team's best campaign idea for the beans – a Bean Ballet. The client is not immediately thrilled (as Peggy expected), instead asking for something more conservative. Don joins the room and Peggy expects him to come to her rescue as her so often does when clients aren't buying more provocative ideas. Surprisingly, Don simply agrees to come back to the client with something different and more in line with his desires. Peggy leaves feeling deflated from rejection, but that's because she wasn't working with the client's vision.
If we were SCDP's counsel on pitching new business, we would have made four recommendations to Peggy:
- Get the brief right. Briefs are critical to success. They allow clients to share their desires and visions from the outset, while helping to set expectations. When written properly, they are an important tool for both teams to stay on the same page and avoid disconnects along the way.
- Understand the way your client thinks, and tailor your pitch accordingly. If you know you have a conservative client that won't be open to pushing the envelope, present your more conservative ideas first. Over time you can earn your client's trust for more boundary-pushing ideas. If you can anticipate your client's reaction, you will have a leg up for how to present your ideas, and how to work with them over time to take more risks.
- Communicate with your client. If there is a disconnect between the client and the agency, the work will suffer. Consequently, the relationship will suffer too. Make sure there is an open dialogue between you and your client…not just with your day-to-day client, but with the key decision makers. This will get you one step closer to success.
- Learn when to hold 'em, learn when to fold 'em. Sometimes (most of the time), a client wants what a client wants. Understanding when it's appropriate to push for your own ideas, and when it's appropriate to back down, is an art form, not something that's learned from one meeting. Sometimes conceding your own ideas in the interim will allow your client to trust you later on.
We're sure Peggy and the creative team will come back with a winning idea next week. Stay tuned!
Wisdom in the Workplace
Good advice isn't always easy to find. But sometimes there are people you work with, at industry associations, in books, or even family that can dish out advice when you need it most and leave a lasting impression in the process. These words of wisdom can often be the driving force behind bigger business philosophies and life lessons that encourage individuals to find new ways to achieve success.
In a recent article from Business Insider, the world's most recognizable executives shared the best career advice that they've received over the years. Eric Schmidt, executive chairman of Google, said the best advice he ever received was to say "yes" to things. Maureen Chiquet, global CEO of Chanel quoted Mickey Drexler, CEO of Gap, who said "you've gotta learn to listen."
No matter what—or who—is your source of inspiration, everyone has that one memorable motto that helps them get out of bed in the morning and attack the work-day. Here are few gems from the DGC team:
- "A handshake says everything about a person – make it firm."
- "Never hear the first 'no.'"
- "Just because we work nine-hour days doesn't mean you have a full nine hours to accomplish everything on your to-do list. Plan for interruptions."
- "Asking questions does not make you stupid—it makes you inquisitive and thorough."
- "Hire people who are smarter than you."
- "Get on the board of a powerful women's organization."
- "Make sure that every time you make a mistake you know what you've learned and you try your best to apply the learnings next time."
- "The day you stop learning is the day you should quit."
Whether you're fine-tuning your first-impression methods or extending your education, the key to a successful career is growth. Richard Branson, founder and chairman of Virgin Group said it best: "My mother always taught me never to look back in regret but to move on to the next thing."
What's the best work advice you live by?

EditorŌĆÖs note: The following is the first of a four part series in honor of FatherŌĆÖs Day.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö John Slavich is known as one of the faces of the Whitley County Community Foundation, but to his five children he is known as ŌĆ£Dad.ŌĆØ
This father is somewhat of a ŌĆ£super dad.ŌĆØ Having two teenage kids in his 50ŌĆÖs will make him a superhero to any young parent.
A resident of Whitley County since 1969, Slavich would describe life as ŌĆ£good.ŌĆØ Between the chuckles over antics of his kids and the tears when describing how special they all are, Slavich shared his years of wisdom and insight.
Q ŌĆö Talk about your family and your kids.
A ŌĆö ŌĆØI have five children and have been married twice. In my first marriage, I had three daughters. Two of them are employed with Parkview Health and Cindy, my middle daughter, is the new director at the United Way. I have two boys with my second wife. One just graduated high school, Connor, and the other, Cameron, is going into high school.ŌĆØ
Q ŌĆö What is life like with five kids?
A ŌĆö ŌĆ£I canŌĆÖt imagine my life not having been a parent. I enjoyed being married enough to get remarried and made the choice to have more kids. I canŌĆÖt imagine a life that would have been without kids. My life has been really good.ŌĆØ
Q ŌĆö What difference do you see between parenting kids now versus kids then?
A ŌĆö ŌĆ£For me, raising children in the first marriage was easier. First of all, there was no internet and there was nothing in the way of the explosion of extracurricular activities. There just wasnŌĆÖt that much to do then. There was some summer baseball, but there was no summer basketball, summer golf. There just wasnŌĆÖt that kind of stuff. And now there is so much available. I tell people, having raised kids in two different generations, it was easier then. So, that is the perspective I have being an older parent.ŌĆØ
Q ŌĆö Most people would be looking toward retirement and taking it easy. You have teenagers still. For some, that is the age that makes parents cringe.
A ŌĆö ŌĆ£I am 65 and Connor is 18. I had him in my late 40ŌĆÖs. I had Cameron when I was 50. And making a choice to have a family again, it wasnŌĆÖt that difficult once I decided that it was OK. At first I was thinking, ŌĆśDo I really want to go down this path again,ŌĆÖ but once we had Connor, I convinced Susannah to have another. Once we had Cameron it was all OK. I do sometimes say, ŌĆśa man my age shouldnŌĆÖt have to be dealing with this,ŌĆÖ but we chuckle about it and go on. I do have the advantage. I retired from teaching 11 years ago and started working here full time. I was free everyday at two. My daughters never came home to an empty home and my sons never come home to an empty home. Dad has always been there. I think that was an important thing for my current wife and I. We wanted to have somebody available for the boys. A lot of men my age would say it would be nice to take a nap. There are mornings that I feel 65, but having kids that age for sure keeps me busy. Busy is good, so I donŌĆÖt mind it.ŌĆØ
Q ŌĆö Given your hindsight, what would you say to parents who are parenting teens?
A ŌĆö ŌĆ£I am a person of faith. So, I would say that through all the turmoil, it will all work out. Maybe they (teens) succeed in spite of us. I believe that we still have to be hands on. I just donŌĆÖt think we can wash our hands of them or give up. You just canŌĆÖt give up. You have to, not stay after them, but let them know you are there. When my oldest son, Connor, was in high school, about once every other week, I would go down there, not to see him, but the athletic director. He would see that Dad was strolling around the hall. ItŌĆÖs the awareness that dad was there. So, I would say that it will all work out but stay hands on.ŌĆ£
Q ŌĆö Your oldest kids are in community positions much like yourself. Do you think your career choices influenced theirs?
A ┬ŁŌĆö ŌĆ£I think that you live your life in such a way as to be an example. I knew in the third grade that I wanted to teach. I knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to teach and it fit my personality. I was lucky that I was able to be paid for something I loved to do. And not everybody has that. As far as the boys, it is going to be interesting to see. Connor is a giving sort of kid. How he is going to develop, I donŌĆÖt know, but they see that their parent is involved in a servant kind of career. Cameron, well, he is just starting high school, so I donŌĆÖt know how he is going to develop. But all the kids have watched the example set by me and their mother. They know what we believe is important.ŌĆØ
Q ŌĆö You are a super dad, so you probably had a super dad. What was one of the great lessons you learned from your father?
A ŌĆö ŌĆ£Work. He was a depression era child and worked. I had to work since I was nine, but I donŌĆÖt mind. I canŌĆÖt imagine it any other way. I donŌĆÖt want my biggest decision right now to be, ŌĆścoffee first and then shower, or shower and then have coffee.ŌĆÖ I still enjoy the work. The biggest lesson I learned from my dad was how to work. We have a wood stove at home, and I still cut the wood with a chainsaw. I split it with a splitting mull and I stack it. I do it all myself. Every once and a while, as we are driving from the house, I will tease the boys and say, ŌĆśyou see that, all that wood, I did thatŌĆ"while you guys were asleep.ŌĆÖ So from my dad, it was work. I can remember going to my first job interview at age nine. My mother would say to me, ŌĆśthe squeaky wheel gets the oil. You go back next week and see if there is a job open. You go back the week after that and after that.ŌĆÖ Well, I think the poor man gave me a job to deliver papers just so I wouldnŌĆÖt bother him every Thursday. Work isnŌĆÖt negative. It keeps me busy and active in the community.ŌĆØ
Q - What would be the defining characteristics for each of your kids?
A - ŌĆ£My oldest, Kelly, is a free spirited person and a rescuer. If there was an animal that needed rescuing, Kelly would be there for that animal. Cindy is very community minded and a good mother. Jill, my youngest daughter, is the organizer. She is the one who dots all the ŌĆ£IŌĆÖsŌĆØ and crosses all the ŌĆ£tŌĆÖs.ŌĆØ Connor understands that nothing comes easy and you have to work hard. Cameron, he is still young and not totally defined, but he can make me laugh. He can make me laugh harder than any other kid. HeŌĆÖs a funny kid and makes me laugh like crazy.ŌĆØ

Do I need Renters Insurance Coverage?
Common Myths About Renters Insurance
"Renters insurance coverage is expensive."
State Farm® renters insurance is remarkably affordable. For just pocket change a day, our policy can provide affordable basic protection for your personal property and can protect you in case of a liability lawsuit.
"The landlord's insurance covers me."
Your landlord's insurance generally only covers the building where you live - not your personal belongings and your liability.
"I don't need personal liability insurance."
Your landlord's policy most likely does not include liability for something that happens in your rented residence. You could be held responsible for injury to another person or damage to another person's property if an incident occurred within your rented residence, or elsewhere. Without liability coverage, your current and future earnings could be at risk. Renters insurance coverage may also provide legal defense costs.
"I don't own very much."
Most people's belongings are often worth more than they think. That's one reason why you need renters insurance coverage.
State Farm renters insurance is flexible, allowing you to select the coverages and insurance amounts that suit your needs.
