I just want to remind you all about this *HOT* personalized photo card deal that is surprisingly still available over on Staples.com! I actually made Happy New Year Cards when I posted about this deal previously… and was really impressed with the quality and thickness considering how inexpensive they are.

If any of you own a small business, this is an awesome way to make gift certificates or promotional materials as well! I made promotional cards last month for a new program I have starting in January, as well as gift certificates that look much more professional than the original ones I had. They came out great and have been awesome to use.
Does anyone know how long this is good for? I'm having baby #2 on Monday and would love to many announcement cards.
My cards came and were too large for the envelopes they gave me. It was like the didn't trim them correctly. Haven't had time to make it back over to see if they will fix them for me. I guess you get what you pay for.
At least you got envelopes!!! They told me they were out of the ones that come with the cards. They were having some trouble with their printing machine so perhaps that explains why mine were grainy but I don't think I'll do this deal again- next time I'm
Back to good old Costco-
Mine had a white border that I didn't expect and I don't know if I am using them… I got the new year cards.
Thanks! I just ordered new year cards. I had to check a box stating that there would be a white border around them (unlike the display on the screen). Will pick them up tomorrow & see if they fit in the envelope :) .
I will say I wasn't thrilled with mine from staples this year. However considering I was not going to do them because I did it get to many great "free" deals this year, I did snag these when it came up last week. For 5 bucks, not bad. The paper stock is amazing, the pictures were fuzzy and while doing the site not really consumer friendly compared to other sites in the past. All in all for 5 dollars, they are done and sent out for new year!
Thanks Collin!
I got these last week and they are awesome! Pictures were taken from my iPhone and turned out great! I love that they are thick! Great quality, great price!
Mine came out great! The photo paper was nice and thick.
Our cards came out beautiful! They have a lot of holiday hires that didn't know to cut out the white border. I had to bring my set back for them to fix it. I actually did both sides of my cards and they look expensive. Got lots of compliments on them! Thx Collin!
I chose a brown and green color card, changed the Merry Christmas text to Happy Birthday, and replaced the photo with a birthday candle photo from the Staples image library. I can write a personal birthday note on the back! Thanks for this sweet deal!
mine were great!!!! thanks for posting this deal last time.
Thanks for the deal! I just ordered change of address cards to send out!
I was thinking of doing this deal for thank you cards for my kid's Christmas gifts. Anyone know if this option is available? Or how I could make it work? I saw some people changed the text. Any help would be appreciated.
Just made some professional cards to give as a gift to my boss. She's going to love them!
Also, if you choose plain white backs you can mail them as postcards, save some $ on postage AND keep the envelopes for another time. They'd be perfect to make photo thank yous!
I just made birthday cards too, using a Christmas card that had a multi-covered chevron pattern-not at all "Christmasy". I replaced the "Merry Christmas" text with "A very happy birthday to you!" and used their stock image library to add a picture of a cupcake with a candle in it. I will write a birthday wish on the back when I give out the card. A cute, one of a kind .10 cent card?! Yes please!
Took advantage of this deal last night – Picking up my New Years cards today – Thanks I save $62.99. Woohoo!
The small banners are also only $5. I got one for Teacher's Appreciation Week. I made it so the school can use it for a few years, although I am not sure how long it will last because of the durability.
thanks collin…..i was slacking and didn't hand out my free xmas pics i made at wags…so i am sending out new years pics instead!! thanks so much for the deal info and keep up the awesome job!!
I just made Valentine's! Thanks!
What a deal!!!! i just ordered 3 sets of New Years cards (150 total) for a total of $16.35 incl tax. Regular price they would have been $205! Hot damn! That's a steal. For once, procrastinating about my xmas cards paid off!
I made thank you cards–just found a regular holiday background and tookoffthe Meerut Xmas! 50 for $???? WOW! Thanks so much!
Picked My New Years Cards up today! $5.00 what a GREAT DEAL! Thanks Collin! Love Me some CHEAP Deals
Course they offer deals
After Christmas! I've spent $10
For 100
Cards at SAMS.
You ended up getting the same deal (in the long run) at SAMS as you would have at staples and before Christmas! That's great! Yay.
Can someone help me? I did everything the way Collin noted…matte finish, blank back, free included envelopes…but the total still comes out to $67.99. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
Same here…has the deal ended even though it is still showing up on the link as there. $67.99 also…do I have to go all the way to the end of checkout to get deal???
I am having the same issue with the cards, even though it still says $5 on the website, the price is not coming out. Please help!
I called cs and he said you should check out with the $67 cost showing but you pay in store and they honor the $5 deal. I did that so I hope it's the case!
I chose blank backs, matte, and envelopes and still coming up $67.99. Sad!!! I was excited about the final proof but the terms say "By clicking the "Place Order" button you are agreeing to the pricing above" i.e., $67.99…I'm not willing to take the chance :(
I must have the wrong cards because the main promo page says "regular $39.99"; no idea how to find out which ones are $39.99 instead of $67.99. Any thoughts?
Was able to make and order photo cards for $5 last night, but not able to do it today. The link is active, but it looks like the price went up.
I tried to order some last night and today and it isn't showing the deal even-though I clicked on the $5 card link.
Does anyone know if this is still good, i keep trying and they dont come up with 5 bucks but the page still says they are five dollars but total says 67.99
I called my store and they are not honoring the $5 price. They said the promo ended yesterday even though it is still showing online.
My store said the same thing this morning.
The now put a sign on the bottom of page saying deal valid from 12/15 to 12/21.
I called them and they said that I should clear the cookies on my computer and look at the side again.
Hі to every оne, foг tɦе reason thɑt Ι am genuinjely keen of reading this web

Shampooing & Highlights Coming Out
Q: If you wash your hair every other day can your highlights come out?
A: As a quick answer, No. But thats because by definition, highlights are created by lightening the color of the hair to create depth and the appearance of paler strands within the hairs base color. Highlights, therefore, are simply created by removing pigment from the hair through a lifting or bleaching process. Because of this washing the hair cannot make your highlights come out, since that would involve restoring the color that was removed in the lightening process.
However, if your highlights are created with a process that not only lightens the base color of the hair, but also adds pigment to create a specific color or tone to the highlights (whether through a multi-step or single-application process) frequent shampooing with a harsh shampoo could result in some color fading from the highlighted hair.
Remember that lightening processes leave the cuticle layer of the hair elevated and can leave the hair more porous. Because of the porosity the color that is deposited can sometimes be more readily stripped away by shampooing. So, NO, you wont lose your highlights, but you might experience color fade in the highlighted hair.

Nov. 2, 2012
BY MIKE LUCASUWBadgers.com
MADISON, Wis. -- Mark Johnson got the perfect "house-warming'' gift with the opening of LaBahn Arena.
The Wisconsin women's hockey coach received a typewritten thesis.
The topic? Coaching high school hockey.
The author? Robert N. Johnson.
The year? 1960.
"I was like, `Wow,'' said Mark Johnson, the son of Robert N. Johnson, aka "Badger" Bob.
The thesis was completed 52 years ago during the fall quarter at the University of Minnesota.
"Even back then,'' Mark said, "he was ahead of the curve.''
The leather-bound keepsake now sits atop his office desk at LaBahn Arena.
"A lot of things that were in the thesis,'' he said, "you could still implement today.''
Mark began reading from the Table of Contents.
"It talks about facilities, selecting the hockey rink location, and construction of the rink,'' he said.
"It talks about equipment and how you go about selecting the equipment.
"It talks about organization and administration.
"It talks about preseason conditioning.
"It talks about individual play, team play, offensive play, defensive play,
"It talks about the fundamentals of hockey.''
It spoke to Bob Johnson's life.
"That's who he was,'' Mark said. "It's pretty fascinating.''
Friday night will be a great night for hockey in Madison.
The Bob Johnson Rink at the Kohl Center will be dedicated.
"His legacy is going to live on forever,'' said Mark.
For one generation of Badger hockey fans, he said, "They will see his name on the ice and they will remember who he was, what he did and what he accomplished here.''
For another generation of Badger hockey fans, he said, "They might not know who he was, but they may go home and look up his credentials and learn what his gift was.''
The gift?
"Passion,'' said UW men's hockey coach Mike Eaves. "No question, it was his passion.''
TALKING HOCKEY Theran Welsh, a former All-American defenseman, was playing golf this past summer with some business associates when Bob Johnson's name came up in conversation.
One thing led to another, and a member of the foursome mentioned that Johnson's thesis had been handed down in his family. Never mind how it wound up there,
The thesis was turned over to Welsh.
"And I thought, `I've got to get this in Mark's hands,'' he said.
In 1981, Johnson coached the Badgers to their third - and his final - national championship. Welsh, a native of Weldon, Saskatchewan, was one of the leaders of that team.
"You get to run into people during your life who are very passionate about something,'' said Welsh, who was inducted into the Wisconsin Athletics Hall of Fame in 2010.
"Bob's passion for ice hockey was significant. I don't remember being around him when he wasn't talking hockey.''
There was a cutting edge flavor to his coaching; above and beyond the norm.
"When I first got here,'' Welsh said of the late `70s, "we were doing the `Left Wing Lock.'''
Decades later, Scotty Bowman popularized the strategy with the Detroit Red Wings.
The Czechs were actually given credit for coming up with the Left Wing Lock, or neutral zone trap, in an effort to slow down the Russians in the `70s.
Badger Bob was a student of the international game and incorporated what he had learned overseas with what he was doing at Wisconsin.
"Bob was all about leadership,'' said Welsh, a CPA with SVA Accounting and a color analyst on the Wisconsin Public Television's tape-delayed broadcasts of UW hockey.
"He'd say, `Let's face it, you're not all goal-scorers. But you have ability and if you have the right passion and the right attitude, you can make a contribution to a team. What are you going to do?'
"We talk to our kids about that all the time.''
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENTSteve Alley popped his head into Mark Johnson's office to say hello and Johnson returned the greeting by saying, "Hey, look, what Theran just gave me.''
The thesis.
"Talk about a guy who was ahead of his time,'' gushed Alley after paging through the dissertation. "Are you kidding me? Nobody was talking about this stuff in the `60s.''
So, how would Bob Johnson's style of coaching have translated?
"It would be better today than ever,'' said Alley, who played on two NCAA championship teams and the 1976 Olympic team for Johnson. "And he would be better received than ever.
"That's because the athletes are smarter; they've learned more about physical conditioning and training. Today, it's all part of the game. Back in the day, it was deemed unattractive.''
Some old school coaches were afraid to change and feared the unknown.
Bob embraced innovation and knowledge.
He also embraced the fan base.
Badger Bob loved Badger Nation.
"Bob was always selling hockey, everywhere he went, he was selling hockey and if it wasn't to the players, it was to the fans,'' said Alley, who morphed into a Johnson play-by-play.
"Talking about the previous game, he'd say, `In the third period, Tim Dool went crazy in the corner, the fans were going wild and I looked down the bench and our players were all standing up...'
You could almost visualize Johnson mopping his forehead and his nose with his hand.
"Bob loved that theater,'' Alley said. "He not only loved seeing his players do well and win, but he loved the fans. He loved the fact that they were getting excited about the game.''
Badger Bob also loved the Russian games on Sunday mornings.
"He always wore Valery Kharlmov's No. 17 jersey,'' Alley recalled fondly. "And he'd stack the teams in his favor. He'd take the best players. Usually, he'd always have Craig Norwich on his side.'''
Norwich was a first-team All-American.
"Even though Bob was beyond his years as a player,'' Alley said, "he wanted to be out there himself - skating and scoring goals. And everybody played right along with it.''
That included one of Alley's teammates on the '77 championship team: Mike Eaves.
"I truly love coming to the rink,'' Eaves said of Bob Johnson's impact on his coaching.
Recently, he noted, "For the guys that didn't travel (to Duluth), we have ice times on Sundays.''
When he skates, Eaves doesn't wear Kharlmov's 17, though he did wear No. 17 as a Badger.
"That's one of the best times of my week,'' he said, "to get on the ice and create something that helps them become better hockey players ... that's what gets me juiced.''
That's in keeping with the Bob Johnson spirit.
"He was one of hockey's legends, truly a legend,'' Alley said. "If you went to Sweden and asked the people in hockey circles, who Bob Johnson was, they'd know.
"He's known around the world as Badger Bob.''
Alley will be present for the rink dedication, and his thoughts will be with the "glue'' in the Johnson family, Bob's wife, Martha Johnson, who's now living in San Diego.
"She was such a great supporter of Bob and hockey,'' he said. "She could see the passion and the enthusiasm and all the good that he was doing, and she was right there; every step of the way.
"I remember her sitting up in a corner of the Coliseum -- ringing that cowbell during games -- she was famous in her own right. Martha was part of the recruiting package.''
Martha Johnson was scheduled to drop the ceremonial puck for the opening faceoff.
"But she's unable to travel right now,'' Mark Johnson said. "And that's a bummer.''
But she will be here in spirit Friday night.
"And she'll have a smile on her face,'' Mark said.
CONCLUSIONSOn April 1, 1966, UW athletic director Ivy Williamson announced Colorado College coach Bob Johnson would take over the Badger hockey program from John Riley, the interim coach.
The 35-year-old Johnson, who had an overall record of 29-51-3 during his three seasons with the Tigers, had been undefeated (4-0) against the Badgers. Johnson's first-year salary was $13,000.
"I see no reason why we can't keep the program moving all the way to the top,'' Johnson said at his press conference. "John Riley has done a wonderful job here. Now, it's up to me to carry on.
"Wisconsin seems to me to be a natural area for hockey. It's a great game and once a boy learns the ropes he falls in love with it. Once they get going, they'll feel it's the only winter sport to play.''
Mark Johnson can now edit that comment to include once a girl learns the ropes ...
"I think the enjoyment he would really take away today is watching these young ladies come into the rink,'' Mark said of his UW women's hockey players.
Just imagine, too, the smile on Badger Bob's face, he said, "Watching these ladies carry their bags and sticks into the rink and leaving with sweat on their foreheads and cheeks rosy red ...''
All a direct result, he added, "Of getting a chance to play this great game.''
Friday night will be a great night for hockey at the Bob Johnson Rink.
As are all nights and all days.
"He lived and breathed that,'' Mark said, "and people will remember him because of it.''

It's Not Just DUI...Impaired Driving
Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol, with a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.08% (the legal limit is most states, including Montana) makes a person 5 times more likely to be in a crash.
Driving while talking on a cell phone also makes a person 5 times more likely to be involved in a crash. Most crashes triggered by cell phone use are not caused by dialing or answering, but merely being in conversation. Text Messaging while driving, however, is really risky, and is even more distracting. Few statistics have been gathered yet (as of 2008), but many states are considering banning text messaging while driving because of horrible, fatal crashes that have happened while the driver was distracted by texting.
Details of cell phone use risks
Driving while eating significantly increases your risk of being in a crash, too. It's not the chewing or swallowing that will get you in trouble, it's how you are distracted when you spill, burn your mouth on hot coffee, or get something sticky or slippery on the steering wheel.
10 Most Dangerous Foods to Eat When Driving
Driving, or doing any complex task, under the influence of recreational/illegal drugs is also risky. Marijuana, meth, etc. also reduce reaction time and negatively affects motor skills and judgment. Even some prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications can significantly increase your chances of having a crash if you are driving. Be sure to read and heed package warnings.
Drowsy driving can cause lapses in attention. Even a lapse of attention for a couple seconds can cause you to drift off the road. It's better to pull over and take a nap to insure that you get there, even though a little late, rather than not get there at all.
For your safety, as well as that of others on the road around you, spend your time behind the wheel concentrating on traffic and road conditions, rather than on phone conversations, kids in the back seat, or your lunch!

Sequel to Talker Tate Walker's past is too painful to just disappear, even if his dream boy, Brian Cooper, is there to hold his hand. Brian does his best, but Talker--always good at avoiding his own pain--is having a hard time facing the truth about what happened when he trusted the wrong man at the wrong time. When that truth resurfaces and lands Brian in the hospital, Talker is forced to make a choice. He can either confront every demon in his fragile, bleeding heart, or he can let Brian take the heat for him, just like he has from the beginning. But even Talker knows you don't leave your dream boy alone and undefended when he just saved your life, and he'll have to find the strength to take care of Brian when Brian needs him the most.

'Survivor: One World' Recap – Align in the Sand
Last Week: Kim misled Troyzan with a tall tale, Tarzan misdiagnosed Chelsea reason for disliking him, and Michael's misplaced trust sent him packing…
Last Week: Kim misled Troyzan with a tall tale, Tarzan misdiagnosed Chelsea reason for disliking him, and Michael's misplaced trust sent him packing…
The female Power Rankings squad has soundly defeated their male counterparts in every outing except for one (which was a tie). So, in an attempt to find competition that the men could conceivably defeat, this week's women's picks will be made by pulling slips of paper out of a Limited Edition 2010 "Survivor" Hall of Fame coffee mug.
I spoke with Michael the morning after he was eliminated and got his thoughts on last night's shocking vote, Tarzan's grooming habits, and the great pick-axe heist…
Last Week: Sabrina dug in the sand until she was pooped, Troyzan found one immunity and won number two, and Jonas's chances of winning were dropped in the dump.
In honor of "Survivor: One World's" men vs. women theme, it has been decided that XFINITY TV's "Survivor" guy Gordon Holmes should lead a team of "Survivor: South Pacific" guys against a team of "Survivor: South Pacific" gals.
I spoke with Jonas the morning after his elimination to find out why he'd never play under the radar again, what it was like under Colton's regime, and what was lurking on the bottom of Tarzan's unmentionables…
The fun kicks off with the remaining twelve returning to camp after Tribal Council. During the merge feast, Alicia lets us know that she is not pleased that Christina is still in the game while Colton is gone. The lesson here is that it might not be the best strategy to tell potential jury members to jump in the fire.
Over the course of one hour, "Survivor: One World" lost its reviled bully to a medical concern, cemented a new power alliance with an idol, and brought both tribes together with a last-minute merge.
Kicking off the second round for the gentlemen will be Jim Rice. While stepping up to the plate for the ladies will be Dawn Meehan.
I spoke with Bill Posley the morning after the weirdest Tribal Council ever to get his take on whether it was racism, classism, or just living a sheltered life that sparked his horrific exchange with Colton.

Organists: our advice
Wednesday 6 April 2011
This advice page outlines some of the key issues that you may encounter as a professional organist, including advice on tax and employment status, contractual matters and relations with church personnel.
Working in churches and synagogues
Many churches and synagogues engage professional organists to play at their services. The types of post range from cathedral organists employed full-time and conducting a professional choir to organists who play for only one service per week in a church without a choir. Whatever your particular circumstances, here we outline some of the key issues that you may encounter.
Cathedral (and other full-time organists) usually work as employees and are paid a fixed monthly salary. They are sometimes also provided with rent-free accommodation tied to the post.
However, most organists work part-time on a self-employed basis. Many part-time organists are paid a fixed annual salary set in relation to the number of hours they are expected to work. This number of hours should include time spent at services, rehearsals, on administration and planning music and attending liturgy meetings. You should calculate the time for a service from the time you have to be present before the service begins until the time you are able to leave after the service has ended.
If your pay is set in relation to a fee per service, you should build into this fee an allowance for the time you spend in rehearsing and other preparation for the service, including related meetings.
In addition, if you work on a self-employed basis – and our latest survey of organists suggests that the majority do so - you should build into your fee provision for sickness, holidays and pensions. However, as a self-employed organist, you will be expected to undertake private organ practice in your own time.
For more information about setting your fee, please go to our advice page about organists fees.
If you are self-employed, you will probably have the right to use a deputy for a service or rehearsal. Usually, the prior approval of the Minister should be obtained. Where you engage a deputy, you should invoice the church or synagogue for your services in the usual way, and then pay your deputy the fee you have agreed.
If you are employed, you will probably not have an automatic right to use a deputy. (If you had this right, it probably means that you are not truly an employee.) However, your Minister may well agree to the use of a deputy if there are good reasons for you to be absent.
Weddings and Funerals and other Special Services
Fees for weddings and funerals should allow for time spent discussing music requirements with the wedding couple or relatives of the deceased, preparing and practising the music and, where a choir is involved, taking one rehearsal. It is common practice to negotiate an additional fee for recordings (see our advice page on organists fees).
It is normal practice for the organ, and other musical instruments in the church, to be reserved for the use of the organist. If you are the resident organist at a church, you will usually have the exclusive right to play at weddings and funerals in that church and to receive the agreed fee. When another organist is used instead, your consent must first be obtained and you will still be entitled to be paid the standard fee.
Fees for broadcasting are usually based on a single UK transmission with additional payments for repeats or overseas sales. Contracts with the BBC are subject to standard terms and conditions which are negotiated with the ISM and published in the ISM/BBC Radio and TV Agreements. These Agreements also specify fees payable to recitalists, accompanists, directors of music, organists, lay clerks and choristers. Fees with independent TV and radio companies should be negotiated separately.
Recording Contracts
The two principal forms of payment for recording contracts are flat-fee and royalties. A flat-fee will buy out some or all of the rights of the organist in the performance. This may be more appropriate for session work. A royalty deal will normally be expressed as a percentage of the dealer price or retail price, sometimes with an advance payable against future royalties. Record companies often include deductions for 'packaging' and promotional copies in their standard contracts which reduce the effective royalty rate. You should be particularly wary of any clause which allows the record company to recoup recording costs from the artist's royalty.
You should seek advice from our legal team before entering into any recording contract.
Tax and employment status
Employment status has significant implications for your tax affairs. If you work on a freelance self-employed basis, you will be taxed under Schedule D and responsible for organising your own tax affairs.
Generally speaking, employees pay tax and national insurance under Schedule E on a Pay As You Earn (PAYE) basis.
For more information on the differences between employed and self-employed status, you should consult our Employed or self-employed? advice page. If you are unsure about your employment status you should contact the ISM's legal team for further advice.
For detailed advice on tax issues call our legal and tax helpline on 01206 368994.
ISM standard contracts
The ISM publishes two standard contracts, one for employed organists, and the other for self-employed organists. Organists and churches can choose which type of contractual relationship is most appropriate for them.
All employees (whether working full-time or part-time) have a number of rights in law. These include:
- protection against unfair dismissal (after one year's service)
- redundancy pay (after two years' service)
- a minimum notice period
- maternity pay
- sick pay
- paid holiday
- a written statement of terms and conditions – commonly called the employment contract.
For more information, see our advice page on what to look for in a contract of employment.
Contracts for weddings and funerals fall outside the scope of the employment contract. They are usually freelance engagements, taxable under Schedule D.
Safeguarding and child protection
If your work as a director of music brings you into contact with children and young people under the age of 18, you should ensure that you comply with your church's safeguarding and child protection policies and procedures. You may be required to undergo a DBS Enhanced Disclosure. Any deputy that you appoint must also comply with the church's safeguarding and child protection policy and obtain a Disclosure if indicated. If you are self-employed you can apply for a DBS Disclosure through the ISM - contact email@example.com for further information or call us on 020 7221 3499.
Go to Child protection: the law for more detailed advice about safeguarding and child protection issues.
You should make best efforts to ensure that neither you nor others at your church unlawfully make copies of sheet music and that you obtain all necessary licences before making any copies. With very limited exceptions, it is a breach of copyright to photocopy music that is in copyright. Generally speaking, a musical composition will be 'in copyright' until 70 years after the death of the composer. In addition, the typographical arrangement of a particular edition also enjoys copyright protection for a period of 25 years from first publication. This means that the printed layout of an edition may be 'in copyright' even if the composition itself is 'out of copyright'.
Christian Copyright Licence International (CCLI) specialises in providing churches with a range of photocopying licences, appropriate to their needs.
Performing Rights
It is a breach of copyright to perform a musical work which is still 'in copyright' in public, without first obtaining the consent of the owner of the copyright. PRS for Music, which handles performing rights on behalf of composers and publishers, has waived its right to remuneration for the performance of music as part of an act of worship. However, this waiver does not extend to concerts or recitals held in churches. For these, you need to obtain a licence from PRS for Music.
For detailed advice about copyright you should consult our advice page Copyright and performers' rights.
Booking Other Musicians
As an organist, you may sometimes be asked to arrange for the services of other musicians – a trumpeter for a wedding, or singers for a special service. If the booking is made on behalf of a church or a wedding couple, we recommend that there is a separate contract between the musician and the engager (such as the ISM Performance Contract or Contract for Music at Special Services) to make the contractual arrangements clear.
You should obtain the consent of these musicians before any recording is made of their performance. An additional fee is usually paid to them if a recording is made.
Relations with ministers and other church personnel
The relationship between you and the minister, churchwardens, elders or members of the Church Council may not always be an easy one. Here are some guidelines which may help to minimise any difficulties:
- be very clear about roles and responsibilities; use of the ISM standard contracts should help with this
- encourage others to respect your professional expertise in musical matters
- respect the minister's right to the final decision on liturgical issues
- raise difficulties at an early stage before they become unmanageable and
- challenge bullying and abusive behavior at the earliest opportunity.

Blogging The Constitution: What's Your Favorite Passage?
The US Constitution was read on the floor of the House Thursday, as part of the Republican majority's efforts to renew focus on the founding document. We asked our It's A Free Country team to write about their favorite passage of the constitution, and also want you to tell us about yours. Fill out the form at the bottom of the page, and Brian Lehrer will follow up on-air next week with two constitutional scholars.
Jami Floyd is a legal analyst and former advisor to the Clinton administration on legal and domestic policy issues.
The IAFC staff has asked me to name my favorite part of the United States Constitution. I am tempted to wax on about the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Or, I could – in this hyperbolic age – write a missive about the sections I find most problematic (Article I, Section 6, Paragraph 2, for example, The Incompatibility Clause which applies to military reservists serving in Congress.) Or, I could reflect on the "general welfare" (see, Preamble) and what those words might mean for the Tea Party agenda in 2012, assuming they have a single agenda. But instead, I'm going to offer an honest, straightforward and personal answer to the question.
For me, the most meaningful part of the U.S. Constitution is what is commonly known as the Civil War Amendments — Amendments Thirteen, Fourteen, and Fifteen.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
The 13th Amendment freed all slaves in the United States (1865); the 14th Amendment made all freed slaves U.S. citizens (1868); and the 15th Amendment gave all freed slaves the right to vote in the United States (1870).
Of course, I am also partial to the Nineteenth Amendment (not ratified until August 18, 1920!), which says: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."
Together, all of the above give me, as an African American woman, full realization of the rights and privileges afforded to citizens of the United States. They ensure a government that is, as Abraham Lincoln said, truly "of the people, by the people, for the people."
I have long been a devoted student of the Constitution. Even before law school, I was fascinated by constitutional text and history, the amendment process and constitutional jurisprudence. It is not easy to select one part more intellectually meaningful than the rest. But on a personal level, the sections that I cite resonate most deeply.
Born in the Soviet Union and raised in Brooklyn, Karol Markowicz is a public relations consultant in NYC and a veteran of Republican campaigns in four states.
It's hard to pick one part of the Constitution to call "favorite" when, hokey as it may sound, the whole document was so far ahead of its time and is so magnificent in its entirety. As I've written previously for It's A Free Country, I consider the Second Amendment above all when voting for candidates, but ultimately I'm a purist and it's the First Amendment which matters most to me.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
I was born in the Soviet Union where freedom of speech, freedom of press and freedom of religion were simply nonexistent. I'm grateful to live in a free country where criticism of government is not only a commonplace activity but actually a protected right.
Justin Krebs is a political organizer and writer based in New York City. He is the founder of Living Liberally and author of "538 Ways to Live, Work and Play Like a Liberal."
Congress prepares to read the Constitution, and for many members it seems to be the first time. I'm happy that our representatives will read aloud our Constitutional prohibition against "cruel and unusual punishment" (the 8th Amendment), the guarantee of speedy trials (6th) and trials by jury (7th), all of which have been victims in the "War on Terror." They'll be reminded of the separation of church and state (1st) and birthright citizenship (14th), which came under attack by Tea Party candidates this cycle. And of course they'll speak of the right to not bear witness against oneself (5th), which some number of them will take when indicted for various forms of fraud and corruption down the road.
But the one passage I always excited to hear is the 21st Amendment.
The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.
You might know it better as the repeal of prohibition, and I'll pop a cork to that.
Nearly eight years ago, a few friends and I got together to talk politics in the backyard of a dive bar in Hell's Kitchen. In the spirit of the founders, who often met in taverns, we wanted to mix our political lives and social lives — and Drinking Liberally was born. Now in 250 chapters all across the country and increasingly around the world, Drinking Liberally happy hours have given local progressives an avenue for building social communities around their values. At times they drown their sorrows together, at times they toast successes, and always they share ideas while sharing a few pints.
Take note, Tea Partiers: the founders threw tea in the harbor. It's beer they drank when it was time to scheme and dream.
There's something else about the 21st Amendment, of course — it is an example of America fixing a mistake. The Constitution has many other passages where we righted a wrong, such as the 13th Amendment which ended slavery at last. The founders were smart enough to know that this country would evolve, would face new challenges and need new laws.
The Constitution should change over time. America is not perfect, but what makes us strong is our ability to improve ourselves, to make our union more perfect. As trivial as the right to drink may seem compared with rights to vote, to worship and to be free from unwarranted searches and seizures, it is still an important example of our capacity — and our responsibility — to keep making this a better nation for all.
Cheers to that.
We'll be gathering more perspectives on the constitution from other It's A Free Country contributors. For now, tell us what you think!

Amy Thibodeaux, another playable character in my game Critical Shift. She's a little bit based on Ben Franklin, in that she's a bit of a mirror. Bookish but extroverted, and a bit manipulative, she is capable of easily changing her outward personality to get what she wants. She has a big ego, and is not afraid to indulge herself in the finer things, or childish diversions. Sometimes she'll prioritize that hedonism, procrastinating and then skirting by on cleverness and excellent improvisation. Rani has little patience for her, but she gets on rather well with the others, particularly Issac. Fortunately, her egalitarian worldview drives her more important actions, and that noble quality occasionally softens Rani's irritation.
Critical Shift is an educational adventure game about a batch of Time-Agents-In-Training going on missions in fun places like ancient Egypt and learning to use the internet to catch time bandits. This character-driven adventure game will teach kids how to do a keyword search, fact check, verify source validity, recognize hoax, bias, and propaganda, utilize deductive reasoning, and ultimately to navigate information technology through critical thinking. It further challenges kids to utilize the information they find and apply it towards decisions that actually affect the game's outcomes.
She is one of 5 playable characters, so you can expect to see a lot more of her! You may not see any scenes like this in the final game, but I'm trying out a painting/lighting/color style. I tried something really different, pushing my color and value contrast, and getting more painterly.
Please give feedback if you have any, or re-blog if you like the idea. Your support will really help!

Device control reporting, logging and controls broken, help file incorrect
Currently at SEPM and SEP 12.xx RU2 MP1. All computers, clients and servers running this same version 12.1.2015.2015
SEPM and database working, SQL database on distinct SQL server.
In SEP version 11 series, I could use app and device control, and I could block all usb storage, exclude just a small handful, and tell SEP to log all blocked devices.
Further, I could go into the SEPM console, choose monitors tab on the left, then choose the notification tab from the top, then notification conditions and tell SEP to send me an email if and when someone attempted to use a blocked device.
Purring happily along like a well fed cat, SEP would send me an email every week or so, whenever someone plugged in their WalMart thumbdrive with the the free apps they downloaded over the weekend at home on their unprotected computer. It blocked the device, it logged the BLOCKED device, and it sent me an email. Better yet, I set up the reports so that each month the boss got an email report of the blocked devices for that month. Life was good, SEP was cool, alerts worked, and my Outlook inbox didnt' grow by much.
Then along comes 12.xxxx. I think great, 12 has neat new stuff, so upgraded to 12.
Within hours I realized my inbox was filling with humungous emails some running several meg in size - telling me of all the DETECTED devices SEP had found. I'm not talking about the 1 every week or so, or the 3 or 4 a month, I'm talking an email every hour, big, every device SEP saw every single time anyone here started one of the 370 computers SEP sits on. Holy cow. I had to turn off the notifications to keep from being told my Exchange account was filling the central Exchange server storage.
With v 12.xxx, we lost the ability to know when someone was naughty and broke the rules by plugging in their cool lime green USB thumbdrive, I had to tell the boss, sorry, no more monthly reports, and sorry boss, I can't honestly tell you how many have plugged in such devices, and I can't tell you WHO did it.
Someone thought it would be better to change SEP so that it told of all detected devices.
......do they know how many devices SEP sees when a computer is rebooted/restarted or turned on? Hard drives, CD or DVD, every device not blocked was being reported on each restart.T
Here's an indication that suggests that few really knew this was happening (besides the fact that even tech support didn't realize it) I find that the documentation or help file is wrong....see screenshots below - help says "log blocked devices".
The device control policy screen itself says log DETECTED devices, which is what it now does since 12 came out. 11 used to allow me to check that box and log - and thus REPORT or notify on blocked devices.
Someone far smarter than I (they think) changed it to log ALL detected devices.
I try to filter on blocked - but the logs show even ALLOWED devices as "Device control disabled device" in that column - even allowed devices.
SEP no longer differentiates between allowed and disabled so of course reports and logs and alerts/notifications are worthless - toally worthless.
As promised, the screenshots. Note the help file from the current, very current SEP - see what is says and how it states it - this is how SEP 11 worked, and how we WANT it to work, how it works best for the customer wanting to track rogue devices:
And here we have the reality - note the wording here......... "Log detected devices"
it used to be you checked this to log blocked (disabled) devices. Devices SEP killed because you told it to.
Why would anyone running 370 + computers want to log all devices SEP ever saw on each and every startup or restart?
Now before anyone jumps in and says "gee, Bill, don't you know you can simply filter this - specific disabled devices or run a report on disabled devices"?
No, you cannot - Symantec broke THAT part too! Please - take a close look at this one - please note I have this report filtered - I told it to report only DISABLED or blocked devices - and it shows me every device SEP has seen for this time period - all of them ALLOWED!
Floppy disk controller? who cares!
Mouse - who cares?
The list goes on - all allowed devices, and yet the filter (see - applied filters is 2) is set to show event type BLOCKED or disabled.
So, in summary:
Symantec broke one of the nice features of SEP when they released SEP 12 series. This all worked not just well, but beautifilly. SEP 11 was the reason we dropped SafeEnd completely - with SEP, who needed it? SEP could block, allow, report or notify on blocked or disabled devices, send me an email, and generate a monthly report for the boss.
Symantec broke the notifications - I want an email notification when someone plugs in their Micky Mouse thumbdrive loaded with fun screensavers they got free. Now I get an email that is 6 or 10 meg in size telling me of every device seen in the last hour.
Symantec has got the help file wrong - and the only check box is to "log detected devices" where it used to be log disabled devices. The help and product matched. The help shows the proper way - the way I bet every customer wants it to be again, while SEP in reality has no ability to log or alert disabled devices, only "detected devices", which includes a mouse, keyboard, floppy controller, DVD drive, and other devices.
I am very curious - why did someone think we wanted a list of all devices seen whenever a computer was turned on or restarted? Why was it decided I wanted a 10 meg email every hour that told me of all the detected devices in the agency, instead of a rare email telling me who broke the rules?

Just out of curiosity. I have not tested this myself.
Can you try unchecking the "Log detected devices" and plug in a unwanted device.
Wouldn't it still log the blocked device? That would make sense as there is really no reason to block a device, if you don't want to log it. Meaning that it default log the blocked devices and the "log detected devices" is just for mr paranoid.
(And you are ofcourse right, the manual is wrong,)
>>Can you try unchecking the "Log detected devices" and plug in a unwanted device.
Wouldn't it still log the blocked device?<< It would log - but won't notify just blocked. And since it was the notifications that fully broke, I don't sit and watch logs to see if there's a blocked device in the group.
If you do check that box, it logs ALL devices. It used to match all of the other policy areas - you had to check a box to get it to log blocked devices. Some folks want to block, but don't want the logs filled with blocked devices. So the option was to log blocked devices, otherwise just quietly block them and don't bother logging. Check out the app control, FIREWALL, intrusion detection, etc. -you can optionally log, otherwise, say, in the firewall, you can have things blocked, but don't log them. That's how device control used to be. Some folks want to quietly block, but don't log.
Since SEP puts even allowed devices in the logs with a n Event Type of "disabled device" the logs are a mess.
So how do you sort through hundreds of entries and find the blocked or disabled devices? You can't - not easily - you have to read every single entry detail to find the blocked or disabled devices. Why would you want to log floppy controllers, DVD drives, hard drives, keyboards, mice, sound devices, etc.? When they are normal and expected? Paranoid doesn't fit that - there is no bloody use of logging all normal computer devices. You KNOW they are there. You KNOW the computer has a floppy controller, you know it has a mouse and keyboard, you know it has a DVD drive. So why log that?
Worse- the box or setting below that is worthless, too - I want to notify users when a device is BLOCKED, but that box says "notify users when a device is blocked or unblocked".
Stick with "notify when BLOCKED" - get rid of the notify when unblocked or allowed. They expect things to be allowed. And telling them "hey, your DVD was allowed" is just confusing things.
If a device is excluded, they get TWO notices - one when it's blocked because it is a USB storage device, and another when it is unblocked as SEP sees it in the excluded devices list. So, that, too, is worthless and absolutely not logical.
They need to put it all back to how it was when 11 was around. Make it so that the instructions make sense, make it so that users are notified ONLY if their device is blocked (as I want to hit them with a "you know better than that, we're logging this" message)
Make the choices "Log blocked devices" or if that's what they REALLY mean, then it should STATE that. As is typical, however, the instructions and manuals are very lacking. They don't explain what things are for - just that "you can check or uncheck this box". So the instructions need to explain explicitly what happens if I DO check this box? What happens if I do NOT check that box? Will it log xxx devices if I don't check it? And let me "notifiy users of BLOCKED devices - and explain "user receives warning in event a device is BLOCKED, but no warning otherwise."
But like I said - SEP 11 made total sense, it just plain WORKED.
I had a support case open on this - the fellow was very very good, he tried really hard, I got personal service, I felt, but alas, no matter what he/we tried, I could not get SEP to email me a notice when a blocked device was found. It only sent notices when A device was found - and then each subsequent email included all prior email events! So if someone started a computer and SEP saw 4 devices (none of which were blocked, all were normal and allowed) I got an email. An hour later I got another email with info about a different computer being turned on, AND it also included the info from the FIRST one. Size increased... an hour after that I would get another email with new info, and the prior, AND the first info too!
In the end some of the emails were 10 meg in size! That's almost large enough to trigger email blocking here!!
So support had me modify one of the SEPM files to not display the allowed stuff in reports. I still got the emails, they were just EMPTY reports! So now every hour I'm getting an email of devices - allowed, but since they filtered out the allowed devices somehow, the email contained a report with no entries in it. I'd come in after a weekend to 50+ emails all with empty reports. I had to fully disable notifications.
Here we sit - not knowing if SEP is blockedin devices or not, no notifications if someone tries to insert a device and STEAL data, and no monthly reports for the boss.
Just put it back to the way it was in SEP 11 please. Don't try to improve what is already perfecf, and the device control parts of SEP 11 were so perfect, there was no possible way to make them better, however, there was obviously a way to BREAK IT. And that has been proven by SEP 12.
In short it all worked perfectly, the help matched reality, reports and notificaitons were perfect - blocked devices only, and it was simple to configure as it was very intuitive in SEP 11. When we upgraded, it all broke. I made no changes, didn't uncheck or check anything kept the same notifications, same reports, same rules and policies, but when I put in SEP and SEPM12, it broke. So it wasn't me - it was SEP.
My sites - http://theamcpages.com & http://antique-engines.com
Shadow: Toy:
No, this is still not working as it did in 11. Still unable to receive any reports of blocked devices.
So I guess in summary, this is still broken, even several iterations into v12, they apparently don't deem this as a worthwhile feature of SEP, and view that customers have no use for reports on blocked devices. Engineers need to spend some time in our world.................... spend a day with me and I almost guarantee there'd be some "fixes" or changes in the next release
Worse, I get to ADD to this problem another introduced with the latest version, 12.1.3
I now receive emails with this topic: Risk Outbreak by Number of Attacked Computers
BUT, when I open the email, this is the content "noting to report" however it states that there were 2 found!
Yet another alert that's worthless after an update. Pretty cool, I have to go in and disable or delete or reconfigure alerts after each upgrade or update, and in this case, now there's at least a couple that I have to remove. I can no longer use SEP to report on blocked devices, and I can no longer get email alerts for "outbreaks". Soon we may as well simply shut off any reporting or logging at all.
How cool is this? Another one messed up.............
My sites - http://theamcpages.com & http://antique-engines.com
Shadow: Toy:
Oh well ... This is not really what I wanted to hear ;)
I think it's a shame because this was one of the key points - as you already mentioned in one of your posts as well - to use SEP11 back in 2009-ish. Internal security is ever since used to have a simple, easy way seeing blocked devices - isn't this what reports are all about essentially?
Really (and I dont like to call it like this, but it's the truth) kinda worthless now in a ceratin way. I sincerely don't want to have logs flooded with absolute nonsense of allowed devices and having to create some kind of primitive workflow to get things right again. Big disappointmend.
Luckily I don't use the second report you mentioned in your post just above, but it reflects my experiences with SEP12 reporting: It's a complete mess. Back to stone age.

Grimsby's fish market boss on Radio Two breakfast show with Chris Evans
Posted: August 07, 2014|
GRIMSBY Fish Market supremo Martyn Boyers was the mystery guest on Chris Evans's BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show this morning.
Mr Boyers, chief executive of Grimsby Fish Dock Enterprises, did the town proud, talking up seafood and underlining the importance of the market and its role in the UK supply chain, before helping Evans with a dover sole cooking technique.
Millions will have heard the clip, broadcast as people the nation over headed to work, at 8.45am.
It came about following Prime Minister David Cameron's visit to a Portuguese fish market earlier in the week.

Mr Boyers told the Telegraph: "They rang me yesterday afternoon, a researcher called and asked about the fish market, and asked whether I would come on.
"It was a great opportunity to talk up the town. Despite what other people say it is a great place and I am all for it."
Cameron famously visited Grimsby Fish Market on the eve of the 2010 election, a point Mr Boyers was to raise, had he got more air time!
"I was going to mention it but Chris did most of the talking!" he said.
The Dover sole question, where he was asked how best to prepare it, was "completely out of the blue" but may well trigger a spike in the sales this week, as appetites were whet with his "skin off, lightly fried, with a few vegetables... it is the food of the gods" recommendation.
