Every job has its parts that we could live without. For me, there is a significantly large part of my job that I am not a fan of. I mean, I really, really don't care for it. College counseling. Its not for me and is by far, my biggest pet peeve. Which is unfortunate, because it takes up a large chunk of my time I feel would be better spent doing other things.Continue

I often wonder how we, as women, survive. I know that I am not unusual, but I spend the majority of my time worrying about what I have to do, longing to do the things I want to do, and guilting myself out when I don't get things done, because I was doing what I wanted to do for myself.
Why do we do this to ourselves? Life is complicated enough without adding more and more layers of complexities. Somehow, society has painted a picture of what the perfect woman should be. She should…Continue

While writing "All Alone" earlier this week, my fingers actually kept tap-tap-tapping away. And I looked up, and the sun had not only set, it was pitch dark outside. And a whole story had poured out. The post was so long I had to chop it in half, wrap up my thoughts and finish it in this post.

America x Reader
Secretly planned
You quickly ran into your favorite coffee shop hiding under your hood from the sharp cold wind and heavy down pour. You had found this little joint a couple of weeks ago and instantly fell in love with it and now you came here all the time to clear your head or get some inspiration. You entered, took off your coat and hung it on the old wooden coat rack. The smell of coffee and freshly baked goods enveloped you.
"Morning ______, do you want the usual?" said the girl behind the counter.
"You bet ya!" You smiled at her "Oh my god I love your new hair cut, when did you get it?" Her usually braided blond hair was cut shoulder length with a purple ribbon tied into it.
"Yesterday, do you like it?" You nodded, it looked cute on her.
You walked over to your usual seat by the window and sat down looking around the shop. It had a homey feel, the walls were worn out bricks and Victorian burgundy wallpaper. The floor was Distressed Heritage Grade wood and every piece of furniture seemed like it had its own character. On top of everything the part that you loved the most was the smell, it was warm and sweet.
"Here you go." Lily said as the put your cup down on the small round table, you thanked her, paid for the drink and took a sip, the warmth spread through you. You stared people watching as the rain slowed down and you didn't notice you started drifting off until the soft chime of the bell on the door brought you back.
You looked over to the door and noticed a guy, about your age, walk in. He was tall, blond, and had quite a muscular build, he was wearing jeans, Nike shoes, and a leather brown bomber jacket. You blushed and looked away taking out your computer, setting on the table and opening it. You sat and waited while it loaded, you sighed as logged in remembering why you came here in the first place. You had an essay due next week and you didn't even start yet because you were crammed with homework, after school activities, friends and checking and updating your deviantART account. Well actually you were just procrastinating, it was just so boring but you had to do it some time.
As you started typing you kept an eye on the cute blond guy, he headed over to the counter leaning against it as he ordered something. He paid and went over to a table behind you, taking out his phone and typing something. A couple of minutes later Lily hurried passed you with a cup of what smelled like black coffee, which you assumed was for the blond. While walking back Lily put a napkin on your table and you picked it up curiously. You flipped it over and suddenly noticed that there was neat writing on the back, you looked at it and it read:
Hey I'm Alfred F. Jones,
You smiled lightly writing back on another napkin, even tho you felt like you we're back in grade 5 passing notes in class it was kinda funny. You passed the napkin back over to Alfred, and continued writing your essay still thinking about him. Suddenly you felt a tap on your shoulder, you turned around and saw Alfred smiling at you.
"Nice to meet you ________" You froze, his eyes were mesmerizing, they were a crystal blue and looked like the endless ocean. You realized you were staring and shook your head lightly, blinked your eyes quickly and responded.
"N-nice to meet you to Alfred!" He chuckled, so you returned a smile and blushed but inside you were panicking, he was really cute and he was talking to you but all you did was stutter and stare at him like an idiot. Usually you were perfectly fine talking with guys but he gave you butterflys and made you feel weak in the knees.
"So what you typing there" he said nodding towards your laptop,
"A stupid essay, I have to give it in next week"
"Well then you might want to check it over." You looked at the screen and realized you've been typing random letters for most of it. You blushed closing the laptop quickly, And tried to change the conversation so you said the first thing that came to mind.
"So how come you're here on a rainy Saturday morning?"
"Well my house is being renovated so it stinks and I wanted to relax so I remembered that my friend told me about this place and so I thought I'll check it out." He grinned taking a sip of his coffee. " And it looks like it was a lucky thing I came."
"Lucks all mine!" You didn't realize you said that until the words left your lips.
"Well we can argue about that, so how come your here on a rainy Saturday morning" he said jokingly.
"Well i come here all the time just to relax,get away from problems and just clear my head."
Meanwhile in the kitchen Lily was staring at them threw the door and smiling.
"You know you look crazy when you smile like that" Her brother Vash commented.
"But everything is going according to plan, we can begin part 2 of the operation."
Mid way thru your conversation a song came on the speakers and Alfred broke out into a smile as he stood up, it looked like he just thought of a genius idea.
"Care for a dance?" You nodded and took his hand standing up from your seat, it could be fun right?You recognized the song, it was zero to hero from Hercules, you loved that song, because come on nobody is too old for Disney! You guys started to dance in the cramped space jumping around and singing along. It was so much fun you were flipping your hair and twirling around, you didn't notice the suspiciously creepy look Lily was giving you two from the counter. At the end of the song both of you broke out laughing, and sat down at your table.
" That was awesome!" you said between breaths, you were surprisingly tired, as you threw your head back.
"Definitely it's actually my favorite Disney song" Alfred interjected looking a lot less tiered then you felt.
" Mine is _________" Suddenly his phone started playing the batman theme song and lit up. Alfred glanced at it and rolled his eyes chuckling.
" What Is it?" You asked curiously.
" I have to go now, the workers forgot my brother so they made his room into a storage area now he's depressed and yelling about maple syrup, hockey or something, but I had a great time with you and I hope we can meet again?" He said with a hopeful expression.
" I would love to!" You took your phone out and passed it to Alfred as he passed you his. You quickly typed in your name and number, then you took a picture of yourself, you looked OK tho your hair was kinda messed up after the dancing and you had a light blush on your cheeks, but you didn't wanna retake it so it will do.You switched phones again and Alfred quickly bowed to you as you exchanged goodbyes. You looked at your phone and saw Alfred's pic, he looked so cute, he was sticking his tongue and winking. You put your phone down and as soon as he waked out you did your little happy dance, thank god nobody else was around in the coffee shop to witness that. As you sat down suddenly your phone rang and when you picked it up to see it turned out to be a text:
Alfred F. Jones
You can call me Al, and I loved the happy dance!
You blushed opening up your laptop, dang you forgot that there is a window.
Meanwhile in the kitchen Lily was talking to her older brother.
"Vash i told you they would get along"
"Well, don't you think they'll figure out you were the one who wrote the first note and passed it to ______?" Vash said as he stacked the new boxes.
"Maybe, but without me they wouldn't have talked to each other, I feel like cupid."
"Why did you do this anyway?"
"Because ______ is a great person, but she never seems to find a good guy. Alfred is also great, a bit loud and obnoxious, but good and also has no luck with his love life. They are perfect for eachother" Lily kept on talking as she put the tea on the shelf "So I decided to take matters in my own hands, I got Arthur to tell Alfred about the shop and when they both showed up I recommended he sits in the seat beside her but still nothing happened" She noticed customers walk in "One second."
She came back quickly "Once small cappuccino and a medium latte" she told Vash "Now where was I, oh right so i had to help them, so I made a note and said it was Alfred, and it went well" Vash gave her the drinks and said
"But was the song necessary?"
"Yes yes it was."

A very pleasant experience with a good choice of food at a reasonable price. The food is well presented and tasty. Service was fine, but they would need more waiters if it was crowded.
dear customers
thank you very much for your opinion and thank you for your kindness.
we will be delighted to welcome you again during your next visit in effect nous.en personnel staffing are reduced winter depending on attendance but we're changing it according to the influx .
This restaurant on the harbour caters for all tastes, from sandwiches and moules frites up to sophisticated menus. I suspect the owner would like to concentrate on the more elaborate food but at the moment feels he has to fill the seats. Our menu was good value and there were some nice touches, such as ground coriander in a scallop...
This restaurant is special!!! the kids'food arrived frozen inside and the price is too much, our fish without taste and limit cold!!! the service was incredible!!! so difficult to discover who is who just 1 waitress and we were seating on the terrace it was so nosy with many people in the front without any welcoming, very untidy inside also......
we tryed this famous place 2 time , the food is so lovely,and good looking you heat with your eyes at the begining and following you have the confirmation the food is wonderfull, the staff is helpfull,by the way the beautiful chef came to see us to make sure that everything was ok, we'll be back for sure thanks bistro...
Good restaurant that is not a rip off as some along the quay, Well priced and good quality on a well rounded menu. Fish especially good. Service can be hectic at busy times.
Our hotel recommended this restaurant for seafood and we were very glad that they did. It's located along the pier and we might not have noticed that this was a special restaurant if not for the recommendation as it does not really stand out from the rest.
The seafood is fantastic although it is very expensive. The service is also...

Unofficial vote totals for the Mount Pleasant Village Board election were revised Wednesday, reversing a preliminary result and showing that trustee Gary Feest likely has won re-election over fellow incumbent Jerry Garski, the Journal Times reports.
Initially it was reported that Garski had edged out Feest. A poll worker's error, hard-to-read handwriting and a math mistake led to the misreported results, Racine County Clerk Wendy Christensen told the Journal Times.
The changes do not appear to affect the results of the challengers, Anna Marie Clausen and Rick McCluskey, who easily topped both Feest and Garski to win the other two-year trustee seats.

One can't categorize this as another case of golf rage, because it appears that former NFL wide receiver Hassan Jones would have seized anything handy to use it as a weapon in this sad and unfortunate episode. Jones was arrested Monday on charges of aggravated assault and felony battery, which included waving a golf club at his wife and daughter.
As you might recall, the 6-foot 2, 235-pound Jones had played for the Florida State Seminoles & Minnesota Vikings. And one has to give props to the ST. PETERSBURG TIMES for diving headlong into the reporting on this one; it even named the type of club that he used during his berserk attack:
Jones, 45, of 2885 Sarah Drive, Clearwater, was charged with aggravated assault and felony battery. He was being held without bond because the charges are domestic in nature. Arrest affidavits say he armed himself with a Callaway Big Bertha driver and started swinging it at his daughter and wife, screaming that he was going to strike them in the head with the golf club. He also hit the walls around them as he made his threats, jail affidavits say.
He is also accused of grabbing his adult daughter by her left arm, pulling her out of her vehicle, and dragging her across some concrete while she was on her knees, the affidavits say. Jones then sat on top of her and held her by her throat until his wife knocked him off her, the affidavits say.
Apparently Mr. Jones did not keep his head on a swivel. It's not his first run-in with the law - in 2006 he was charged with drunken driving, and in 1996 pleaded no contest to a domestic battery charge. In 1992, he was also charged with carrying a concealed weapon when a handgun was found in his carry-on luggage at the Tampa Airport.
Callaway Clubs - better loft, better distance, better random drywall destruction since 1938.

Essa: Battle ready. by TentacleMonsterChuWatch
©2012-2016 TentacleMonsterChu
The second of three commissions from Flackthejack. This time of his lovely character Essa.
I just want to say that this is one of my favorite pictures ever xD
haha wow, glad you like it that much.
yore my hero drawing this beautiful slim women with giant....
thanks for that
thanks for that
I see she is using the 50+ panty armor.
I love the coloring and shading and how great her outfit looks on her body.
lovely colors
You do nice work here.
I like how the only armor is on her collarbone, wrists, and ankles. That's definitely the best way to go into battle: almost completely unprotected. Ask any fighter, and they'll tell you, indeed, the best way to fight is half-naked with a sword that's mostly ceremonial.
Thankfully in the land of art and fantasy, practicality and logic can go out the window. ^_~
Yes, who needs reasonable or thoughtful design when you have hormones instead? It's definitely a stronger design choice, calibrated to appeal to the lowest common denominator (which is, fortunately for you, the most common of common denominators).
Someone points out that you're taking advantage of people's lack of hormonal control instead of putting more effort into your art to make it interesting, and they're automatically a troll?
I would love to watch you take more specific criticism. Temper tantrums never get any less hilarious.
I would love to watch you take more specific criticism. Temper tantrums never get any less hilarious.
I'm a fan of giant booies just as much as the next guy - but I want to see some page from you! You're too good not to!
haha Man, I guess I am a bit side tracked from my original goal. I still would like to draw some comics that the majority of people could view and tell stories that don't involve a camera full of boob. It was pretty hard to stay on track after leaving the SCAD environment though. I miss those interactions and feeding off all the enthusiasm for the craft that I don't appear to have enough of anymore on my own. Thanks for the pep though, maybe there is something still there.
Yeah, it gets tough. I've been gone for 5 1/2 months now, myself. It's taken some real "glue myself to my desk" but just the excitement of creating keeps me going. That and a lot of facebook chatting with friends still out there.
I sort of missed the whole facebook bandwagon and avoided it during college. I ended up losing contact with a lot of people. The ones I did know didn't seem too interested in comics by the end, anyways. :l Pretty sure I'm a hermit at heart. I probably need to put more effort into keeping up with people though, it's getting pretty lonely here. haha
wow... I didn't know elfs has such a nice body!! Arwen... I am sorry... my favourite elf now is she... thos boobies and body are much better than yours!!! XD
Very nice character design. Love the coloring.
....gorgeous design on her....=3
I feel bad for the person who gets attack by her sword.
I feel bad if SHE gets attacked! She's only wearing a bikini!
Sexy as hell!
amazing work.
It's very pretty Chu
Nice design and neat artstyle.
Very awesome

About Us
love design,
do things differently,
and drink lots of tea :)
Welcome to the colourful world of Red Candy! We hope that you enjoy your visit, and find exactly what you are looking for.
Red Candy was launched in 2009, as the world's first red-only website. We're not joking; literally every product we stocked, from clocks & colanders, to mugs & magazine racks, was red!
However, at the request of our customers, we soon decided to push forward and embrace colours from all ends of the spectrum. Moving away from our rouge niche was pretty scary at first, but I hope you'll agree with us when we say we now think that it was the best decision we ever made!
Welcome to our colourful world!
The Red Candy office is situated right in the heart of Birmingham's creative quarter, at The Custard Factory.
We spend our days surrounded by so much colour & creativity, it's no wonder that we've ended up with one of the most vibrant, quirky & contemporary product selections on the internet!
Whether you are searching for a large, statement wall clock to complete your living room, or on the hunt for a gift that is far from the norm, we are confident that we can provide you with a choice that is quite unrivalled!
Although no doubt helped by a pretty website, and a splendid product selection, we certainly would not have become the company we are without our customer-centric approach to all that we do.
We simply are not happy until our customers are happy, and will always go to great lengths to ensure that every enquiry ends with smiles all around! :)
With a solid 99% customer satisfaction record (assessed by Feefo, an independent review system provider), and thousands of glowing customer reviews, we tend not to blow our own trumpet. Instead, we leave this to you!

Roger Clemens has been asked to end his involvement with a charity golf tournament he has hosted for four years as the fallout from the Mitchell report continues to haunt the seven-time Cy Young award winner, the New York Daily News reported in Wednesday's edition.Although Clemens helped raise millions of dollars for charities associated with the event, the Giff Nielsen Day of Golf for Kids was held Nov. 11 at Houston's Shadow Hawk Golf Club without him. "Roger Clemens is no longer ...

BIO is preparing small biotechs for life in the social media maelstrom
Last year the campaign for Chimerix to give an experimental cancer drug to a 7-year-old gave biopharma firms another reason to be wary of the power of social media. Having seen Chimerix be engulfed by the social media maelstrom, BIO is working to equip small biotechs with the skills they will need if they find themselves in a similar situation.

Tufts survey shows social media still on fringes of clinical trials
It is almost four years since Facebook passed 500 million users.

For the first time I am seeing a company blocking its users to go back to previous OS, and that too when they are running into issues with their new OS. I think it is their strategy to force 3G users to buy iPhone 4.0. For the first time now I am thinking of jailbreaking this useless piece now. Could you let us know how to go back to 3.1.x since Apple has failed users like us.
To put your mind at ease, running 3.1.x on your iPhone is not jailbreaking. Apple and their distributors sold the 3G loaded with version 3, and in some geographies (Canada, for example) are still selling the 3G with version 3. Apple can hardly call it jailbreaking when they themselves ship the product with the v3 firmware. They'd have to sue themselves!
And in fact, jailbreaking is not illegal. In a landmark ruling this week, the US Copyright Office *rejected Apple's claim* that copyright law prevents people from installing unapproved programs on iPhones:
"When one jailbreaks a smartphone in order to make the operating system on that phone interoperable with an independently created application that has not been approved by the maker of the smartphone or the maker of its operating system, the modifications that are made purely for the purpose of such interoperability are fair uses."

in response to Jon MarkleHi..
Sorry can't be more help on this one.. Yes the message did appear on my Mac as a small window on top of the iTunes software when it launched.
The fix only took seconds after I had plugged in phone to re-charge and transfer stuff over using iTunes.
Its then this message popped up. Unless it didn't fully install in the first place maybe.
The phone seems ok now though a louth that said it's still not as snappy as it was using the old software.
Just checked my OS for you... Mac OS X version 10.6.4
The version of the iTunes is iTunes 9.2.1(4)
If that will help....
The plot thickens ehh?
If you discover anything appreciate a message back.

in response to iphones make me angryI will throw my voice in here as well, since this is already 32+ pages long and I'm sure there are plenty of more forums and threads about this same thing.
My wife and I both bought iPhone 3G phones when they came out, a few months after the release to avoid the crowd. Our phones were working fine with relatively few problems, until now. As soon as we "Upgraded" our phones, everything just stopped working. Things have slowed down DRASTICALLY! This is no exaggeration, I can barely use my phone at all now.
The main problems are the crashes. Every program crashes. I have to open them multiple times (like 3 or 4) to get them to stay open, if I am lucky. And when I say every program, even iPod and Phone crash!!!!!
I have literally sat there with phone in hand, looking at it, a call comes in, and goes to missed call within half a second. Another time, I was using the phone when the phone went blank, finally a screen shows up to answer a call, but the button failed to respond and I missed it too! There was even the time I got a call, and I sat there sliding the bar to answer the phone at least 5 or 6 times and it STILL missed the call! In fact, almost every time I get an incoming call, I miss it or get very close to missing it!
What is the point of having an iphone, if you can't use it as a phone?!
My wife and I can't even launch news programs or games, and the mail app is slow as molasses when it opens. I find myself using my computers now more often, to check my email, which can be a hassle if I am no where near one.
I have even run into my iMac slowing down but that is a different issue and it better be unrelated.
I thought about downgrading, and I know apple doesn't support this. I have heard there are problems with it though, such as battery drain, and crashing.
iOS4.0.1 did nothing to ease the lag, and now I am considering losing all my data and starting my phone over anew, except how long would that last? In a month or 2 it would be back to the lag-fest it is now!
Personally I am going to wait a little longer until iOS4.1 is out. If the rumors I heard are true, it will make the 3G usable again. If that is not the case, then more drastic measures will have to be taken.

Jon Markle Jul 28, 2010 2:43 PM
in response to iphones make me angryI just read where Apple has indeed read the complaints in these forums as well as those reported through the support avenues. And apparently they are "investigating" the complaints.

in response to Jon MarkleThis article is encouraging news for 3G users.
Fortunately, I had my 3G replaced yesterday at the Apple store in Miami, Florida with another 3G model in a sealed never-opened box which had Os 3.1.3 installed.
Until, Apple fixes this problem, I will stay with 3.1.3. In fact, as soon as I came home and synced with iTunes and it asked me if I wanted to download and install 4.0.1., I happily clicked "NO" and the box to never ask me again.
It all works great again and I wish you all the same success.

in response to iphones make me angrySLOW. iOS4 on iPhone 3G is just terribly slow and quite many apps complain about low memory. even when I have 4.3GB free.
I know I am not alone on this. I knew 4 other people with the same problem.
Apple needs to remedy this ASAP.
ozie Jul 28, 2010 3:32 PM
in response to mikedemojust so Apple can add one more client to the list with a problem that a bumper case wont fix
my 3G with iOS4 runs dog slow, and has heated up once while just in my pocket.. to slow when you click to do something like answer a call even.. you can try sliding to answer ten time or even miss the call by the time the phone responds
so yup
-slow to use compared to 3.1.3
-slow to open things.. slow to respond to clicking things
-over heated, never done that before
Andrew2 Jul 28, 2010 3:28 PM
in response to ozieMy 16gb 3G is running overly slow. Apps that have always run fine crash repeatedly, or don't open at all. Sometime the vibrate won't work or vibrates almost a full minute after it should. My phone heats up like crazy to the point where I can feel it while its in my pocket. My 3G service, which has always been fine randomly decided to not connect where it always has, and I have to restart the phone to be able to connect to anything.
Please fix this!
qqq Jul 28, 2010 3:40 PM
in response to iphones make me angryMy 16gb 3G with iOS4 is atrociously slow now, has crashed for the first time ever. Huge time lags going home, opening the camera is a joke.
I've tried restore, soft and hard shutdowns, with no lasting effect.
Either Apple has to fix this, or give me a legit way to restore 3.1!
jayvees22 Jul 28, 2010 3:41 PM
in response to Pastor PaulThanks for bringing this to my attention! I found my 3G extremely slow in several functions after updating to OS4. But only after reading your posting I checked that vibration no longer works in "silent" mode. What the "heaven" (the opposite is automatically blocked in this forum) have they messed up here with heir update!
bubblefree Jul 28, 2010 4:00 PM
in response to jayvees22Just saw a story on this on one of the rumour sites. My iPhone 3G is so slow it is almost unusable when trying to type or view some web pages over cellular connections. The phone drains the battery much much faster than before for both my 3G and 3GS and my 3G has become very unstable requiring a restart every few days. My 3GS is relatively fast still and more stable but still the battery drains very fast. How this upgrade got past the quality teams at Apple I have no idea but it was a BIG mistake. It feels like Apple is trying to make it's 3G customers upgrade to a new 4G phone....... I have no idea whether I can downgrade again to 3.13 but am seriously considering it when I get the time to research it.
Any feedback from Apple please as I don't want to spend more money on having to submit a tech problem when the problem has solely been caused by Apple's upgrade.
I am very very unhappy.
om corporation Jul 28, 2010 4:05 PM
in response to iphones make me angry16GB iPhone 3G ( with lots of space left) update to 4.0 initially made the phone useless, even after several shutdowns and restarts. The 4.0.1 update made the phone useable, but embarrassingly SLOW.
Clint Davis Jul 28, 2010 4:10 PM
in response to iphones make me angryAdd me to the list of users with issues. My iPhone 3G has slowed to a crawl at times. I've been restarting it once or twice a week. I've also noticed it heating up some times. The battery drops off pretty quick too, so I download a battery utility to do full cycle charges about once a week.
disheartened&annoyed Jul 28, 2010 5:12 PM
in response to Clint DavisDitto! Ever since I installed IOS 4 my 3G has been slow. Even more annoying is the no service or constant search mode my phone is in. I have been extremely satisfied with Apple up until this, **** I even bought a Mac last month and was looking forward to the new iPhone. Screw that!!!! I visited the Genius Bar a couple of days ago. They would not do a diagnostic test because my warranty expired. The only suggestion was to buy a new phone or try AT&T for a new sim card. I'm having the same problems with new sim card. I hope Apple fixes this quickly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION QUINCY FIELD OFFICE QUINCY, MASSACHUSETTS and LOCAL 1164, AMERICAN FEDERATION OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES, AFL-CIO
In the Matter of
|Case No. 98 FSIP 169
Local 1164, American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO (Union) filed a request for assistance with the Federal Service Impasses Panel (Panel) to consider a negotiation impasse, under 5 U.S.C. § 7119 of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (Statute), between it and the Social Security Administration (SSA), Quincy Field Office, Quincy, Massachusetts (Employer).
After investigation of the request for assistance, the Panel determined that the dispute, which arose during negotiations over changes in the office smoking policy, should be resolved on the basis of written submissions from the parties.(1) The parties were advised that after receiving their submissions, the Panel would take whatever action it deemed appropriate to resolve the impasse, which may include the issuance of a Decision and Order. Written submissions were made pursuant to this procedure, and the Panel has now considered the entire record.
The Employer's mission is to administer retirement, Medicare, disability, survivor, and Supplemental Security Income entitlement programs. There are 19 bargaining-unit employees in the office who are part of a nationwide consolidated unit of approximately 48,000. Typically, employees hold positions such as claims or service representative, or they are part of the clerical support staff. At the national level, the parties' master collective-bargaining agreement (CBA) which was to have expired on March 5, 1999, has been extended until a successor agreement is negotiated. The dispute arose during bargaining over the Employer's proposal to eliminate the practice in the office whereby employees who smoke are permitted to take smoking breaks, in addition to the two 15-minute rest periods authorized by Article 10, Section 1B(2) of the master CBA.
The sole issue in dispute is whether the practice of allowing employees to take smoking breaks should be continued.
1. The Employer's Position
The Employer proposes that "employees who smoke must do so only during the two scheduled daily breaks and their lunch period." For the past 3 years, smokers routinely have been taking additional breaks; nonsmokers perceive this as unfair and some have complained to management about the additional breaks. Since similar smoking break practices have been eliminated in the SSA's Dorchester (Massachusetts) Field Office, and many other SSA offices, there is no reason why smoking policy in the Quincy Field Office should not conform to the prevailing practices regarding smoking. Smoking breaks are not specifically authorized by either the master CBA or the parties' national-level agreement concerning smoking policy which has been in effect since 1987. Moreover, continuing them would be inconsistent with the parties' agreements at both the national and local levels to promote smoking cessation. The Panel has indicated in a previous decision concerning smoking policy in another SSA office, that it does not favor smoking breaks.(3) Even if such breaks are limited to workhours when the office is not open to the public, that is, before 9 a.m. and after 4 p.m., employees still process work during non-public hours and additional breaks may be an impediment to providing service to the public. Management has witnessed some employees taking 15 to 20 minute breaks to smoke during nonpublic hours which is too long a period of time to be away from the work area. Since the building landlord recently prohibited smoking in the office stairwell, smokers must now go outside the building to smoke, making them relatively inaccessible should they be needed by management or other employees. Although the Union analogizes smoking breaks to breaks which employees take to use the restroom or get water, the comparison is misplaced since these "personal" breaks are much shorter in duration and all employees take them, not just smokers.
2. The Union's Position
The Union proposes:
Work intervals for the relief of personal necessity shall, for such matters as restroom use, drinking water and other such brief intervals, remain in effect in accordance with office past practices. Employees will continue to make reasonable efforts to take such brief intervals during non-public hours, to the extent it is feasible.
The intent of the proposal is to allow for the continuance of a long-standing past practice in the office whereby employees are permitted to take infrequent smoking breaks of short duration (3 to 5 minutes), during the office's non-public workhours, in addition to the rest periods authorized under the parties' CBA. The issue of smoking breaks has never been significant to management, which has allowed the practice to continue for many years, as employees attest in affidavits. Other SSA offices in Massachusetts (Malden, Lawrence and Somerville) also permit employees to take smoking breaks in addition to their regularly-scheduled rest periods. Since there are a decreasing number of smokers in the office, currently only five, the impact of continuing the practice would be minimal.
Furthermore, under Article 1 of the CBA, local practices should remain in effect, unless they are "specifically covered by" the contract.(4) Since neither the master CBA, nor the 1987 national MOU on smoking policy, specifically address smoking breaks, and it does not

Keith Krach was once quoted in an interview as saying one of the things that keeps him from resting on his laurels is being a "paranoid overachiever." A quick look over Krach's professional and personal background and you know he wasn't over exaggerating.
Krach's overachieving ways go all the way back to Purdue University, where he was a General Motors Scholar and earned a Bachelor's of Science degree in industrial engineering in 1979. General Motors saw such promise; they paid for his MBA studies at Harvard University. Upon receiving his degree in 1981, he returned to GM and quickly worked his way up through the ranks to become the company's youngest-ever vice president. He was just 26. Krach then led the company's first-ever Japanese joint-venture, GMF Robotics.
After having worked for GM for a decade, the budding entrepreneur left the corporate world for the startup world. He headed to Silicon Valley, California where he went on to successfully tackle what he calls his biggest challenge – starting companies from scratch. "The key to success is building a high-performance team, but it takes a lot of work," Krach said.
He proved he had the winning formula for both building teams and putting in the work during his years in California. In Silicon Valley, Krach proved it three times over, first by becoming a founding team member and Chief Operating Officer at Rasna Corporation. With Krach at the helm, the marketer of mechanical design automation, was sold in 1995 to Parametric technologies for $500 million, but not before being recognized as number 3 on the Inc. 100's list of fastest growing companies.
Continuing his entrepreneurial passions, Krach co-founded Ariba in 1996. Ariba is known for being one of the first business-to-business internet companies to go public in 1999. Under Krach's leadership, the company achieved market capitalization of $34 billion. More than 200,000 companies, including nearly all of the Fortune 100 Companies, used Ariba's service-as-a-software (Saas) platform. Krach served as Ariba's Board Chairman and CEO for seven years. Red Herring magazine named Krach of the top 10 entrepreneurs and named Ariba as the best managed privately held high-tech company, in 1998. During his tenure at Ariba, Krach also received the National Entrepreneur of the Year award from Ernst & Young in 2000 and the Technology Pioneer Award at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Krach's hard working nature and keen entrepreneurial sense has most recently been tapped to serve as the new Chairman and CEO of Seattle electronic signature company, DocuSign which has become the global standard for eSignatures. Krach had been serving as Board Chairman to DocuSign, before taking over as CEO. Krach said he is looking forward to once again using his skills to build on DocuSign's team and continue the company's trajectory of growth.
Krach's achievements extend far beyond just corporate boardrooms. He has continued his ties with his alma mater and fraternity. From 2005-2007, Krach served as the International President for the Sigma Chi Fraternity. He was appointed to the Purdue Board of Trustees by Governor Mitch Daniels in 2007. By 2009, his fellow trustees elected him to head the organization as Chairman of the Board. In 2013, Krach retired from the board to devote more time to being chairman and CEO of DocuSign.
Krach has served on the Boards of numerous other companies, including: CollabNet, Microposite, Tropos and Ooma. Krach was elected Chairman of the Angie's List Board of Directors. Angie's List, founded by Bill Oesterle and Angie Hicks, is the nation's premier provider of consumer reviews. Krach was pursed for the role in part, because of his strategic business insights.
Krach also has a soft-spot for philanthropic causes, having co-founded the Children's Autistic Network and having sat on the Board of Governors for Opportunity International, which provides micro loans throughout the world.
Krach is a celebrated lecturer and has spoken at Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley and IMD Business School in Switzerland on a variety of topics including business strategy, technology and how to build a high performance team.Krach had three children before his marriage ended in divorce in the early eighties. He is now married to Metta and has five children; Monika, Steve, Carter and young twins JD & Emma.

Sorry, I'm not the cosplayer, I'm the photographer. The cosplayer is listed in the description. But I know she appreciates the compliment.
I love all the cosplays pic you have! Their amazing!!!!
how did you do the gradient on the tips of the hair?
She uses a fabric spray paint I believe to do the yellow tips on the top of her head. At the bottom, the wigs came pre-dyed so it had the gradient there already.

did anyone use or is planning to use the babycenter or other sites template as their birth plan or has? also if you don't would post your birth plan for and example
birth plan
PP, 90% of it was adhered to in my first VBAC. I didn't have one with my second VBAC.
I totally agree with the PP that along with a BP a woman still needs to be communicative and have good support. For me this is hwy I have a BP because I find it very hard to communicate clearly during labor. My dh has not reached the learning curve when it comes to issues realted to L&D, so I can't rely on him. Doulas can prompt a woman to advocate for herself, but not speak on her behalf. For this reason, a BP is a must-have for someone like me who wants to exercise a lot of control where I can have control. I'm a RN so it's difficult for me to leave decisions related to my HC in the hands of other people, particularly the staff who I don't know at the hospital or support persons without any background in HC.
I'm waiting to finish my childbirth classes before making a finalized birth plan. I know that it probably won't go the way I want though, so I have drilled my main biggest things into DH's head so he can advocate for me: no visitors until we're both ready and settled into the postpartum room, exclusive breastfeeding, skin to skin 1 hour after birth, I don't want coached pushing I want to push when I'm ready, I don't want to be knocked out in case of c-section and NOBODY better hold my baby before me, and most importantly DO NOT perform an episiotomy. I also randomly quiz DH on these wishes to make sure he remembers :)
If something is not feasible at your birthing location, you'll know ahead of time (e.g. The nurses at my hospital are not trained yet to monitor a baby with a doppler, so there's no point in asking for that. Likewise, blood cord donation and banking is not compatible with delayed cord cutting so you have to pick one or the other) And having your bp signed by your dr will give it extra weight.
Kaiser Permanente gave me a birth plan to fill out at the hospital tour, and said to be sure I keep it in my go-bag or somewhere on me at all times the closer I get to D-day. It's pretty simple, but covers the most important points to me.
I had printed out the babycenter one and filled it out earlier, but felt that it was just so long and tedious! SSOOOOO many details, and a lot of them I didn't think I would care about in the heat of the moment lol.
I agree that review with the MD is always a good idea, but even if in the event the RNs are not trained in intermittent auscultation, it still opens up the conversation to what compromises can be made. If in the event they aren't properly trained then is the alternative going to be to not have any monitoring or to have CFM. If it is CFM, is it possible to have wireless. That sort of thing. It opens the door to conversation and to counter the assumption that their current patient is looking for the "cookie cutter" maternity care typically provided at that given hospital.
And I would assume if someone has put delayed cord clamping on their BP then they have thought through the potential impact on stem cord banking. That seems fairly straightforward to me.

It could be a long slump.
Housing prices in Massachusetts and the nation likely will keep falling through next year and beyond, according to a growing chorus of economic forecasters.
Eric Rosengren, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, told a Hartford audience yesterday that the current housing slump could be the longest in 50 years, increasing the risk of a broader economic downturn.
Rosengren said spending by home buyers has declined in every three-month period since the beginning of 2006, and likely will continue to fall through at least June 2008. That would be the longest downturn since 1958.
Falling home prices hurt the broader economy, in part by reducing consumer spending, Rosengren said. In turn, a broader economic decline cuts spending on housing. The back-and-forth can create a downward spiral.
Forecasters once saw housing prices beginning to recover by the end of 2006, the middle of 2007, then the end of 2007, and the middle of 2008. The latest pushback in projections follows the release of federal data last week showing unemployment climbed to 5 percent in December - a sign at the very least that the economy won't help the housing market.
Mark Zandi, chief economist for
Global Insight, a Waltham company that crunches economic data, projected last week that housing prices would keep sliding well into 2009.
Daniel Mudd, chief executive of mortgage giant
And Robert Shiller, a Yale economist famous for forecasting the burst of the dot-com bubble, has warned this slide could last five years or more.
There are contrarians.
The chief economist for the National Association of Realtors said the real estate market already has hit bottom. The group projects prices to hold steady in 2008, and sales to increase slightly, before the market roars back in 2009.
The realtors association last year predicted that 2006 was the bottom for the real estate market, and that sales volume and prices both would rise in 2007. In fact, the trade group overestimated sales by 700,000 units, and prices dropped 2 percent.
How have things become so bad?
In his speech yesterday, Rosengren said the very efficiency of the capital markets, which funded the unprecedented boom in housing prices, may now be accelerating the decline.
Lenders once provided the money for loans from their own vaults. But most mortgages are now packaged as securities and sold to investors, which provides lenders with a stream of money for more loans.
"The trend toward securitizing mortgage loans allowed the financing arrangements to be driven by national rather than regional conditions," said Rosengren, speaking before the Connecticut Business and Industry Association. As a result, regional problems - which once had a regional effect - now reduce the availability of loans nationwide.
The best response, Rosengren said, is to calculate and accept losses as quickly as possible. Banks should report and close the books on bad loans, and home sellers should accept the need for price cuts, drawing investors and buyers back to the market with the prospect of new profits.
Art Foley, a Quincy real estate broker, said many sellers on the South Shore seemed unwilling to cut prices. As a result, while prices in the Boston area have held relatively steady, the number of sales dropped sharply in recent months, suggesting buyers are waiting for larger price cuts.
"A good real estate broker today will walk away from a lot of listings they could have because the seller is not being reasonable on the price," said Foley, who owns Century 21 Annex Realty.
He said some agents joke that it is best to be the third agent to work with a seller, because after the seller fires the first two, he might be more willing to listen to the argument that the price needs dropping, and not the agent.
There is a longer view of the current problems: This downturn follows an unprecedented boom.
Housing prices in the Boston market peaked in September 2005, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index. As of October 2007, the market was down 7 percent from its peak - meaning that a dollar spent on housing in September 2005 was worth only 93 cents. But the latest drop has only rewound the markets back to the summer of 2004. A dollar spent on housing in 1997, when the boom began, still is worth about $2.15.
There also is a longer view of the future. The Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University noted in its annual survey that a rebound is inevitable, even if the timing is unpredictable.
Over the next decade, the report said, the combination of a growing population and rising wealth, "will help propel residential spending to new heights."

Meeting with Governor Cuomo
The Assembly Republican Conference met last week with the Governor. Our conference was invited to the Governor's mansion for breakfast. This was the first time since I have served in the Assembly that this has happened. We talked about many things but primarily what impressed me was his consideration for us as a group. Though we might not share the same political party or views, he has made many decisions in his budget that I agree with and have advocated for in recent years, not the least of which is to reduce government waste and spending. I was encouraged by this meeting and hope we are embarking on a more professional atmosphere in Albany that includes an open dialogue with rank and file members of the Legislature.

I wrote about a month ago that we were making a niche in the wall of the staircase. This is to allow us to display some of the stuff we have accumulated over the years.
Now that the walls of the staircase are finished we have installed the lighting, which makes the stairs a bright and attractive place (and safe!), and put the first item in the niche.
This is a late 19th century plough plane - a router for cutting grooves. It was Susan's great-grandfather's and arrived here a week ago.
I am really pleased with the whole thing: walls, niche and lighting. All we need do now is sand and varnish the stairs and that part of the job is finished.

I love the idea of slowly feeding things into and out of the niche... adds interest!ReplyDelete
And the stairs look great, too!
WV is "proscrol".... a new add-in for Windows?
Love the idea of the niche being a 'moving feast'. In my experience a niche will have something put into it which only comes out once a year (if then) to be dusted!ReplyDelete
Stairway is looking really good.
The stairway is looking great and relly like the idea of a changing display in the niche.ReplyDelete
We failed at niches ;-) ours has no light and a permanent display...
Delightful S&S.ReplyDelete
Looks terrific! I love the "pierres apparentes' in the stairwell. I like the niche too.ReplyDelete
Perhaps I mean a 'moveable feast'?ReplyDelete
Gosh that looks lovely. I bet you can't wait to do the sanding and restore your staircase to its former glory....!!ReplyDelete

Snow Crystal Ballet by artamusicaWatch
©2013-2016 artamusica
This macro shot reminds me so much of a ballet (Swan Lake? Nutcracker?) with the corps du ballet in the background and the prima ballerina in her sequined tutu in the foreground. These are snow crystals that formed in and around a miniature snow cave along the side of a path in Morgins, Switzerland. There is nothing underneath to support these crystals, they just formed this way. I had never seen anything like it in my life before and was fascinated by it.
Wow, one of the best winter photos I have seen recently - well done! I had no idea that crystals can take such beautiful forms and it does remind one of ballet. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! This was a new phenomenon for me, too which is why I was so fascinated to see and capture it. I think it's officially called "hoarfrost". Absolutely magical.
Fascinating! They look so soft and fragile!

Election law requires that candidates sign for and sponsor poll watchers. In this case, the candidates listed by the TTV volunteer did sign the needed documentation. Under political pressure, the candidates later rescinded their sponsorship.
Catherine Engelbrecht, the founder and head of TTV stated:
"These allegations by the Ohio Democratic Party are dangerous and offensive, the facts are simple: no citizen volunteer-- including Jan Loar, or anyone else trained by True the Vote--took any action that was either illegal or unethical, particularly as it pertains to the placement of poll watchers. Ms. Loar has conducted herself with the utmost integrity. To state otherwise is blatant slander."
Engelbrecht went on to say:
"The sequence of events is as follows: Franklin County resident Jan Loar collected signatures from five candidates on a blank form provided by the County to process election observer placements. Ms. Loar followed instructions by Franklin County to make copies of candidate signatures for subsequent forms.
Prior to scheduled placement of observers, Loar was informed by the Franklin County Board of Elections that no observers would be placed due to candidates rescinding their appointments. True the Vote learned that Daphne Hawk (Republican) and Terri Jamison (Democrat) were threatened with lawsuits and pressure from their respective parties to revoke observer permissions"
It is imperative that William Anthony Jr., Director of the Franklin County Board of Elections, release a full timeline of events surrounding this episode. Given Mr. Anthony's former position as Chairman of the Franklin Democratic Party, he must also clarify any coordination with the Ohio Democratic Party with respect to these allegations.
This is a final, desperate attempt to deny citizens their right to observe elections. The Ohio Democratic Party has projected paranoia on an international scale by promoting the idea that concerned citizens would dare observe elections to ensure a fair process. If the Ohio Democratic Party thinks True the Vote-trained poll watchers are legion, wait until it meets our lawyers."
