How Hamp Became Noho
By Ben Yagoda
Published: May 9, 1999
By Tracy Kidder.
349 pp. New York:
Random House. $25.95.
Tracy Kidder is no slacker. His efforts are apparent in his books (most of which, come to think of it, are about hard workers). It's not that there is anything strained about Kidder's limpid, graceful and intermittently lyrical prose. Rather, the journalistic-literary form he has chosen to pursue demands hard labor. In ''The Soul of a New Machine,'' ''House,'' ''Among Schoolchildren,'' ''Old Friends'' and now ''Home Town,'' Kidder chronicles processes or subjects that are, almost by definition, ordinary. After he chooses a subject, Kidder shows up and hangs around. Then he hangs around some more. He has the stamina and the faith to stay put almost endlessly, waiting for patterns, moments, characters, stories to emerge.
For Kidder, I imagine, the next step is even harder. When his year or so of observing is over, he has to go home, dump many, many notebooks out of his pockets and onto his desk and figure out how to extract narratives from all that data. Moviemakers talk about ''shooting ratio,'' the amount of footage shot compared to what's used in the finished product; for Kidder, the notes-to-prose ratio must exceed the 100-to-1 range.
Kidder has also set a tougher task for himself with each successive work. For ''The Soul of a New Machine,'' although he had to master and make intelligible the basics of computer engineering, he had the benefit of inherent drama and a news peg, as a team of engineers from Data General tried to beat their Digital Equipment rivals in turning out the first of a new generation of minicomputers. In ''House'' he had to generate his own excitement -- the construction project he chronicled was not significantly different from the tens of thousands of others undertaken in the country that year. ''Among Schoolchildren'' lacked a tangible product, but it did have a helpful chronological structure in the school year. ''Old Friends'' had none, but at least it was confined to one manageable institution, the Linda Manor nursing home. In ''Home Town,'' Kidder must manipulate an entire city of 30,000 highly diverse souls into his story line.
Northampton, Mass., is certainly a distinctive community. Jonathan Edwards was a minister there in the early 18th century, until he was sent packing; Smith College was a product of local philanthropy in the 19th; Calvin Coolidge was mayor in the early 20th. And the town experienced several decades of decline before a 1980's revival. Now it is the thriving home of a variety of outspoken minorities; two of the most visible, Kidder notes, are lesbians and psychotherapists. (A recent census, on which people were allowed to provide their own job descriptions, also yielded a stump grinder, a weapons technician, a fish smoker, a factotum and three millwrights.) Meanwhile, some tension lingers between the newcomers, who call the place ''Noho,'' and the longtimers, for whom it is ''Hamp.''
But for a geographically defined book to succeed, the territory it describes must be an inescapable presence -- a force, really -- in the lives of its residents. Kidder's literary progenitor, John McPhee, had such a place in his book about Alaska, ''Coming Into the Country''; the unique pungency of Savannah was probably the most important factor propelling the phenomenal success of John Berendt's ''Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.'' And Northampton? It would seem to be lacking in this department, if only by virtue of its unfettered and substantial intercourse with the rest of the world. Kidder tells us that two-thirds of those who grow up there leave when they become adults, to be replaced by newcomers. Some people live in town and work somewhere else; some people live somewhere else and work in town. Nevertheless, he says early on, Northampton, no less than Data General's ''new machine,'' has a soul: ''Somehow -- is it the sum of unconcerted efforts? -- a cohesive property seems to bind the place, as if it were a liquid held by surface tension.'' I read the words ''somehow'' and ''seems'' and the question mark as indicating a measure of doubt.
What binds ''Home Town,'' in any case, is a single character, a 33-year-old police sergeant and Hamp native named Tommy O'Connor. In a long opening chapter, we begin to see the town through O'Connor's eyes -- through his memories and his on-the-job cruising -- and we return to him periodically; all told, he takes up about 40 percent of the book. It's a marvelous portrait. Skin-headed (''If he was going to be bald, he'd decided, he'd be bald emphatically'') and funny in an unmistakably New England way, he is smart enough to recognize his own tendency to hold other people and himself to inflexible standards. In the period the book describes -- from August 1995 to February 1997 -- Kidder introduces and plays out, with great skill, two crises that mercilessly test those standards.
The first has to do with O'Connor's oldest childhood friend -- a solemn designation in the cosmos of someone whose favorite movie of all time is ''Stand by Me.'' This man, also a Northampton cop, is accused of sexually abusing his daughter. The accusation surfaces as the book gets under way, and plays itself out with increasing gravity and hurt as the seasons slowly turn. O'Connor is caught between equal loyalties: to his friend and to his vocation. The experience negatively colors his feelings about the town he had always assumed he would live in forever -- maybe even one day be mayor of -- and helps him decide to bring the second crisis on himself. This revolves around a question every intelligent and ambitious townie one day must confront: should I stay or leave?

Sgt. York's voice
I really should be grading finals right now, but for some reason I developed a sudden urge to find a recording of Alvin York's voice. Most of the historical figures that interest me came along well before the advent of sound recording, so I don't get to indulge this sort of curiosity too often. This newsreel includes a brief clip of York speaking.
As a bonus, here's a video tour of his home, with some reflections from his son and daughter-in-law.

Shocking new revelations that state governments are supporting museums
My fellow Tennesseans, we now have irrefutable evidence that a minuscule portion of your tax money is going to private museums, historic sites, and other cultural institutions. DUN DUN DUNNN!!
Noting the attendance at the Country Music Hall of Fame, the writer of the article linked above asks, "If the museum and other attractions are seemingly doing well, why then, do they need taxpayer money?" But then, after citing evidence provided by the Chattanooga History Center showing that their visitors are economically beneficial to the community, he claims that the Alex Haley Museum and Interpretive Center is located in a small community where the "economic development argument may not work," and describes the museum's low visitation and financial struggles.
So your museum doesn't deserve public support if business is booming, and it doesn't deserve public support unless business is booming. I confess that I don't find this line of argument persuasive.
I'm also irked that the article describes the institutions receiving these funds as "tourist attractions." The Chattanooga History Center and Alex Haley's home do indeed attract tourists, but referring to these historic and cultural institutions as "tourist attractions" conveys the impression that this is equivalent to giving taxpayer-funded grants to Six Flags or a miniature golf course.
Russell Kirk defined a conservative as "a person who endeavors to conserve the best in our traditions and our institutions," and noted that conservatives believe the past to be "a great storehouse of wisdom." If we can't spare even a small portion of our public funds for history and culture, then what is it we're trying to conserve?

Two new books on the Cumberland Gap region
Arcadia Publishing has just published two photographic histories of the Cumberland Gap region for their popular Images of America series, and it just so happens that friends of mine wrote both of them.
Natalie Sweet's book covers the towns of Harrogate and Cumberland Gap, TN. Harrogate has an unusual story for a small community; in the late 1800s a British industrialist founded a swanky resort there, which hosted some of the richest people in the country for just a short while before financial reverses brought down the whole enterprise. Natalie will be signing copies at the Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum on the campus of Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate on February 18 from 2:00 to 5:00 P.M.
Martha Wiley's book is about Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, where she serves as historian, but it includes material on the history of the area before the park was founded.
I worked with Natalie and Martha at LMU's Lincoln museum, and they're darn good at doing history. If you're interested in Appalachia or the history of the National Park Service, these books should be well worth a look.

Some Tennessee lawmakers want to change the history curriculum
Looks like they want to see a greater emphasis on American exceptionalism, textualism, and white people:
House Bill 1129 would require school districts to adopt curriculums that stress the "positive difference" the United States has made in the world and "the political and cultural elements that distinguished America." The measure also deletes a current guideline that encourages teaching about diversity and contributions from minorities in history classes.
The state Department of Education opposes the measure, saying curriculum decisions should be left to the State Board of Education and local school boards.
Backers of the legislation, a version of which has passed the Senate, say it remains a work in progress. But its main sponsor in the House, state Rep. Timothy Hill, conceded Wednesday that the measure is meant to leave students with certain beliefs, such as the view that the wording of the U.S. Constitution leaves no room for interpretation.…
"I don't think there's anything wrong with talking in terms of we live in the greatest state in the greatest nation," said Hill, R-Blountville.
And a-one and a-two and…
You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative…

Brunt of winter storm 'Nemo' expected in other parts of New England
Vermonters and visitors to the state will be treated to a wintry weekend but will be spared the full and mighty wrath of winter storm Nemo.
The first major storm of 2013 is expected to pummel parts of Massachusetts, and southern regions of New Hampshire and Maine with more than two feet of snow, but snowfall totals for most of Vermont are expected to fall far shy of that mark.
"We're going to be more of a spectator on this one," said Roger Hill, meteorologist for Worcestor, Vt.-based Weathering Heights. "It looks like a historic Nor'easter that will just graze Vermont."
Forecasters are calling for between 7 inches and 10 inches of snow to fall across the state, beginning Friday morning and continuing until Saturday afternoon. However, residents and travelers through the higher elevations of Windham County can expect as much has 20 inches before it's all over.MORE IN This Just InWESTMINSTER Vermont State Police say a passenger has died in an off-road vehicle crash in...

If the ambience spelt royalty with fine chandeliers, miniature fountains, dimly lit lamps and a white meshed backdrop, the clothes reflected traditional silhouettes from across Asia, at fashion designer Raghavendra Rathore's spell-binding presentation at the India Bridal Fashion Week (IBFW) here.
Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor was the much-awaited showstopper, and he looked dashing in a black ensemble, teamed with an embroidered sleeveless black velvet jacket.
"Yeh een kapdon ka kamaal hai (My look is the magic of these clothes)," Anil said post the show here Thursday night.
Truly, the real showstopper was what preceded his entry - a line-up of well-structured and fitted garments with a chic and smart feel.
Aiming to reinvent the revelry and exuberance of the 1920s, Rathore used a regal colour palette of fuschia, midnight blue, wine, saffron, gold and silver.
Surface embroideries were a highlight, and the craftsmanship truly evoked an antique and vintage feel to the appeal of the garments. The ladies flaunted well-accessorised medallion pendants attached to a headband, to match their varied attires - gowns, dresses, embroidered jackets, shrugs, pants and achkans.
Rathore's trademark bundgala jackets made their presence felt as always - in the men's and women's line too. For the men, the designer's wedding line offered velvet coats in the hues of red and green with pocket squares, suits in vibrant colours like pink, purple, navy blue, red and turquoise blue - a clear drift from the usual shades of grey, black and brown.
There were also off-white achkans and bundgala jackets teamed with Jodhpur pants.

3. "Mad Men" - "In Care Of" (Season 6, Episode 13)
Because people are crazy, and because "Breaking Bad" took most of the limelight this year, there's seems to be a view among fans that "Mad Men" didn't have a particularly memorable season. As usual, the show took a slow-burn approach to storytelling, but that's one of the reasons we love it, and when a slow-burn can build up to an explosion like the one in season finale "In Care Of," we don't mind one iota. Season 6 was about the implosion of Don Draper, a thirteen-episode slide that saw the style icon that men wanted to be, and women wanted to be with, complete his transformation into a rather pathetic, pleading alcoholic. And it's here that he reaches rock bottom (we hope—we'll see where the show's final season takes him): having looked like he might turn around his decline with a new life in L.A., he goes into a meeting with Hershey and self-destructs, finally revealing his dark past to his co-workers. He's left, essentially fired from Sterling Cooper Draper Price (who are presumably going to be dropping the D), and with his marriage very much on the rocks. And yet, it might mean that he's finally coming to terms with his past, taking his children to see the whorehouse in which he grew up. No one has a great time in the finale—Pete's mother dies, falling overboard on a cruise ship, and the mysterious Bob Benson screws him over, partly in self-defense, while Peggy's career is on the up, but her lover Ted is moving to the other coast rather than staying to be with her. It's the show at its richest and most novelistic, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Bring on season 7.
2. "Game of Thrones" - "The Rains of Castamere" (Season 3, Episode 9)
We couldn't have seen it coming. (Well, in fairness, there's an obvious way we could, but we're enjoying this show so much we only allow ourselves to read the George R.R. Martin books up to the point that we've already seen.) The "Red Wedding" episode of "Game of Thrones," because that's what it's called in our seared brains, despite it being hidden behind the spoiler-free official title of "The Rains of Castamere," was simply one of the most dramatic, unexpected and traumatic viewing experiences of the year, as one by one, characters that every storytelling instinct we had had lulled us into thinking were going to be around for a while, were offed in an orgy of throat-slittings, stabbings and perfidious betrayals. But in retrospect, we suppose the signs were there: Robb Stark (Richard Madden), despite being King in the North, was one of the less interesting characters now that his personal conflict over Talisa (Oona Chaplin) had been resolved; Talisa herself had no bearing on the wider plots bar her relationship with Robb, though her pregnancy was an extra, literal, twist of the knife; and with so much of the series dealing with parentage, bastardy, ancestor worship and family names, perhaps Catelyn's (Michelle Fairley) days had always been numbered as a way to make the Stark children and Jon Snow even more self-reliant. But it would be disingenuous to say that this last death, especially, came as anything but a total shock. Even the rhythm of the scene is played in such a way to make you think that you're going to be given some space, and maybe a cut away to action elsewhere to absorb this new Robb-less, Talisa-less world, and that Catelyn's awful torture is actually to live on, knowing it was largely at her bidding that Robb, his bride and unborn child were lured to their deaths. But no, and bravo to everyone involved for squeezing one more shock, and probably the biggest, into a series of shocks, yet still making it feel totally unexpected, even capped with the death of Catelyn's "goodness" as she pointlessly murders Walder Frey's young wife in retribution. What's also impressive about this particular installment, is that despite being eclipsed completely by the splatter and horror of that grisly wedding (apparently Martin was inspired by a 15th Century historical event called the "Black Dinner" in Scotland), the rest of the episode is pretty great too, with Jon Snow (Kit Harington) revealing his true Crow colors and leaving Ygritte (Rose Leslie); Bran (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) discovering that his Warg powers allow him to enter other minds; Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) now controlling an entire city; and our beloved Arya (Maisie Williams) coming so heartbreakingly close to a reunion with her family, while her relationship with the Hound grows ever more thornily ambivalent. All that would easily have made for an above-par episode anyway, but then to round it out with this gloriously gory operatic moment…
It's said that the scene was the reason that David Benioff and D.B. Weiss sought the rights to the books in the first place, and that Martin himself referred to it as the hardest thing he's ever written, even joking that he'd move "to a country with no television" when the episode aired. Yet despite massive pressure, therefore, not to fuck this one scene up, and even despite the huge following that the books have, so that many viewers would already have an inkling of what's in store, "The Rains of Castamere" is an extraordinary piece of television that eclipses even the series' own death of Ned Stark in terms of surprise, and, as all great TV episodes should, fundamentally changes and reinvigorates the way we think of the show.
1. "Breaking Bad" – "Ozymandias" (Season 5, Episode 14)
There are many who would argue that this episode of "Breaking Bad" and not the series finale is where the show really ended. Everything came together: the episode began with a flashback to right after Jesse (Aaron Paul) and Walter (Bryan Cranston) first cooked meth, with Walter calling his wife Skyler (Anna Gunn) and telling what would become the first lie in a whole laundry list of deceptions. In the present, in the same spot, Gomez (Michael Quezada) is dead after the desert shootout, with Hank (Dean Norris) being held at gunpoint by the psychotic neo-Nazis led by Uncle Jack (Michael Bowen). It's Hank's death, and Walter's absolute devastation that follows, that might have been the single most poignant moment of the last handful of episodes. But "Ozymandias," dazzlingly directed by "Looper" filmmaker Rian Johnson and written by Moira Walley-Beckett, is the type of episode littered with searing moments just like this: Walter confessing to Jesse that he was present for Jane's death; Jesse's imprisonment; the confrontation at home between Walt, Walt Jr. and Skyler; and Walt abducting Holly, a moment that's almost as shocking as Hank's execution at the start of the episode. There's a palpable level of sadness that hovers over every scene, oftentimes threatening to choke it. Thankfully, there's a slight hint of optimism to even the darkest moments. When Walt makes the rage-filled, confessional phone call to Skyler, he's trying to set her free even though he knows he's permanently damned her (and the entire family). It's a moment where Walt tries to do what's best for his family, which was his supposed reason for building his meth empire in the first place, although he accomplishes it through incredibly selfish actions (again: a constant). Walt doesn't stick around and try to sort things out with the authorities in an attempt to get his wife and family off the hook. No. He looks out for himself. As described at the show's outset, it was designed to be the journey of how Mr. Chips turned into Scarface. What "Ozymandias" made very clear was that Walter was always Scarface. The closing moments of the episode, with Walt getting into Saul's fixer's van, are as quietly haunting as anything the show has ever delivered, and in some ways act as a more fitting resolution than the final episode we received, with Walt's comic book assassination of the neo-Nazis and Jesse tearfully driving to freedom. It's a testament to the episode's power that Vince Gilligan, the show's creator and writer/director of the series finale, called "Ozymandias" and not his episode, the very best in the show's history. Quite frankly, it's hard to argue.
Honorable mentions
The last two episodes of "Arrested Development" season 4 were the most satisfying, but its hard to tell if they're stand-alone good or if we were just relieved the show had gotten good after a disappointing run prior; "New Girl" has won a surprising number of us over despite the potential detestability of its premise—and whatever about Nick and Jess, for this writer's money, any episode that shows thin Schmidt battling his inner fat Schmidt is a winner; "Doctor Who" had a strong episode with "Hide" but the season hasn't reached the heights of some previous seasons; "Bob's Burgers" is maturing nicely into one of the funniest, oddest shows on TV (and "They're gonna say 'Aw, Topsy' at your autopsy" is probably the best TV song of the year); the premiere and finale of "Rectify" were both strong; episode one of "Broadchurch" has its fans (and, agreed, it's before the show goes a bit silly later on); "The Mindy Project" entry "Weiner Night" and "Christmas Party Sex Trap" episode got a few votes; "American Horror Story" was mentioned though how we'd pick one simmering gumbo of an episode over another is kind of beyond us; while A Certain Contributor will never forgive us if we fail to shout out the Season 3 premiere of "Scandal," which, to be fair, is a guilty pleasure for many of us.
Elsewhere "Archer," "Sleepy Hollow," "Gravity Falls," "Brooklyn Nine Nine," "Comedy Bang Bang," "Getting On" and "Eastbound & Down" had their cases made but more perhaps as shows than individual episodes, while even we were a little surprised by the lack of showing for "The Killing," "Homeland" and "The Walking Dead." Let us know what you think, about our choices and your year in TV, below. -- Oli Lyttelton, Drew Taylor, Katie Walsh, Jessica Kiang, Rodrigo Perez, Kimber Myers, Cory Everett

A review of The Flaming Lips at The Puyallup Fair on Sept. 21.
Concert Review |
It's always a delightful, magically strange experience to see The Flaming Lips perform live. Dancers in animal costumes, confetti explosions, giant papier-mâché hands that shoot lasers? The norm. But seeing the psychedelic five-piece play the Puyallup Fair? Surreal.
A far cry from your usual country/rock/pop fair fare, Wednesday's show was a fun, freaktastic romp through the band's biggest hits from its 30-year career, despite (or perhaps thanks to) some challenges of the venue.
Good-natured, pied-piper-of-a-frontman Wayne Coyne unceremoniously walked to the edge of the stage to hug fans while the gear was still being loaded in and the house lights were up. Then he came back again to explain that the venue staff had given permission for him to get inside his "space bubble" and walk out into the crowd. But everyone would have to return to their seats after. (They did eventually, after a few requests.)
- Power restored after major, hour-long outage in downtown Seattle
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
- Walkoff magic! Leonys Martin's dramatic homer in ninth lifts Mariners
Most Read Stories
Once the actual show started, the fact that the execution of the space bubble — a large plastic sphere blown up around Coyne so he can be buoyed by the audience — was less grandiose than it was charmingly quirky didn't matter. It made the start of the night's journey all the more intimate, and Coyne the more endearing.
And besides, there was plenty of grandiose to come: giant bouncy balls, streamer explosions, videos of topless girls, dancers in gingham dresses flanking the stage. The songs crescendoed again and again; most could have been a killer finale in any other concert.
"Is David Bowie Dying?" with guitarist Steven Drozd playing a symphony of sounds on his smartphone, was a slow, heavy-building, mind-tripping odyssey. "What is the Light?" devolved into Coyne kneeling before a ball of light, waving a microphone sputtering sounds that can only be described as "lost in space with a dental drill."
The band's faithful take on Pink Floyd's "Brain Damage" was an epic, explosive pre-encore closer.
The show's final farewell was the 2002 hit "Do You Realize??" A camera mounted on Coyne's microphone broadcast his every expression like a deep space confessional. The song was heartbreaking, personal, and utterly magical. Confetti rained; the Ferris wheel blinked in the distance.

text: Posted October 1, 2012 You were hanging on by a thread thanks to Smitty's fumble...Do the math.. Just like you want to make it Cam's fault. Just imaging if Smitty had held unto the ball instead of giving the Falcons a free 7 points, Cam wouldn't have to be trying to do what he did. Even worst is, IT WAS ONE OF HIS OWN TEAMMATES THAT CAUSE THE DAMN FUMBLE IN THE FIRST PLACE. GO WATCH THE VIDEO. The damn guy felll infront of Cam instead of blocking like he was suppose too. But you obviously overlooked that like you did Smitty fumble giving the Falcons 7 points because you seriously seem to believe your team can't do no wrong and every lose is Cam's fault. Like WTF... When you're QB is trying to help your fugging team and they can't even stay to heck out of your way, what does that say about this team. Folks like you ignore all that and only notice what Cam does because you obviously know your team sucks but is to arrogant to admit it. Again I say, bet you not one of those folks in the media would be blaming Luck if it was he who was playing on this team and doing what Cam has been doing. Such an ungrateful bunch you are. And you wonder why your team can't seem to get out of their own way and lose games you should be winning. Karma..To bad Cam is also caught up in the negative energy of this team. You still don't get it. For the last time... Cam was the reason we were in the damn game I believe the coach is the reason we ultimately fell short.

Adams' Equity Theory
Balancing Employee Inputs and Outputs
Adams' Equity Theory calls for a fair balance to be struck between an employee's inputs (hard work, skill level, acceptance, enthusiasm, and so on) and an employee's outputs (salary, benefits, intangibles such as recognition, and so on).
According to the theory, finding this fair balance serves to ensure a strong and productive relationship is achieved with the employee, with the overall result being contented, motivated employees.
Understanding the Theory
Adams' Equity Theory is named for John Stacey Adams, a workplace and behavioral psychologist, who developed his job motivation theory in 1963. Much like many of the more prevalent theories of motivation (such as Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory ), Adams' Equity Theory acknowledges that subtle and variable factors affect an employee's assessment and perception of their relationship with their work and their employer.
The theory is built-on the belief that employees become de-motivated, both in relation to their job and their employer, if they feel as though their inputs are greater than the outputs. Employees can be expected to respond to this is different ways, including de-motivation (generally to the extent the employee perceives the disparity between the inputs and the outputs exist), reduced effort, becoming disgruntled, or, in more extreme cases, perhaps even disruptive.
How to Apply the Adams' Equity Theory
It is important to also consider the Adams' Equity Theory factors when striving to improve an employee's job satisfaction, motivation level, etc., and what can be done to promote higher levels of each.
To do this, consider the balance or imbalance that currently exists between your employee's inputs and outputs, as follows:
Inputs typically include:
- Effort.
- Loyalty.
- Hard work.
- Commitment.
- Skill.
- Ability.
- Adaptability.
- Flexibility.
- Acceptance of others.
- Determination.
- Enthusiasm.
- Trust in superiors.
- Support of colleagues.
- Personal sacrifice.
Outputs typically include:
- Financial rewards (such as salary, benefits, perks).
- Intangibles that typically include:
- Recognition.
- Reputation.
- Responsibility.
- Sense of achievement.
- Praise.
- Stimulus.
- Sense of advancement/growth.
- Job security.
While obviously many of these points can't be quantified and perfectly compared, the theory argues that managers should seek to find a fair balance between the inputs that an employee gives, and the outputs received.
And according to the theory, employees should be content where they perceive these to be in balance.
This is similar to Frederick Herzberg's Motivation/Hygiene Theory . While Adams' Equity Theory obviously has a strong element of truth to it, it's probably fair to say that Herzberg's Motivation/Hygiene Theory has greater motivational significance.
Key Points
Much like the five levels of needs determined by Maslow and the two factors of motivation as classified by Herzberg (intrinsic and extrinsic), the Adams' Equity Theory of motivation states that positive outcomes and high levels of motivation can be expected only when employees perceive their treatment to be fair. An employee's perception of this may include many factors (see outputs above). The idea behind Adams' Equity Theory is to strike a healthy balance here, with outputs on one side of the scale; inputs on the other – both weighing in a way that seems reasonably equal.
If the balance lies too far in favor of the employer, some employees may work to bring balance between inputs and outputs on their own, by asking for more compensation or recognition. Others will be demotivated, and still others will seek alternative employment.

Over a month agoCreg, you make a valid point about people not all being motivated in the same way. I think in a team, our first objective is to get the team to achieve optimal results. Motivating each team member in a way that will get him/her to give their best will help the team achieve optimal results - and you'll have a happy team too. And as you said, success will build on success helping you to be motivated as a leader. Great thoughts!
Mind Tools Team
Over a month agoWhen motivating your team it is always good to know how to motivate each team member. Remember, each team member will respond differently to each type of motivation. When you know how each member will react you will be able to plan out your motivations and compensations to match each member. This will make your team stand out above the rest. Some of your team members including yourself will require a mix of all of the motivational theories. When each motivational progression is met, the more productive they will become and you as a leader will have your own motivation from seeing your team succeed.
Over a month agoAn imbalance between input and output will cause employees not to be engaged. Disengagement will cause them to be demotivated; they won't trust the employer and won't really care about clients or customers.

For a seasoned career veteran, a resume can look and feel like a chaotic jumble of marks.
By Don Sears
For a seasoned career veteran with multiple job titles, the resume can become a whiteboard of sorts. After awhile, a resume can look and feel like a chaotic jumble of marks you've made, rather than a refined, distilled presentation of what you offer a potential employer.
That's the situation sales professional John Byrum found himself in when he retained TheLadders for a resume rewrite.
"As far as my old resume, I just kept shrinking the font, and shrinking the font -- to cram everything in there," the Texas native said. "I thought the solution was to have two resumes: One for the public service and another one for the private."
Earlier in his career, Byrum had worked in city government management for the San Antonio water system. Over the past 12 years, however, John had become a rising star in sales and business development of waste-water and potable-water piping systems and is now looking to expand his role in to other markets like health care or utilities.
But you wouldn't have known that he had excelled in his jobs.
"We call it 'Death by Bullets' in the resume trade," said professional resume writer for TheLadders Karen Bartell. "This resume was a classic case of that."
"There was little quantification of sales-related data," Bartell said. "Also, there was no explanation of how he had helped to advance the companies he worked for -- very little in the way of accomplishments. His former resume wasn't really befitting an executive."
Already a member of TheLadders, John decided to give the free resume critique service a try. After all, he'd never really had his resume critiqued by someone he didn't know.
"I was very pleased with the outcome," Byrum said. "Karen was really able to bring out and highlight the positive things I had done in my jobs. I was pretty impressed with the fact that she never used the same word twice."
"She also kept both the private and public sector jobs in tact," Byrum said. "Rather than have two separate resumes, she wrote two different cover-letter templates for me that could target different job markets. It was a great remedy."Capturing core competencies
Once Byrum had signed up for the resume-writing service, he had to fill out what he depicted as a "straightforward" questionnaire.
"The questionnaire allows us to find out a whole set of information that is usually not in the original resume," Bartell said. "One of the main areas we find out about is what an individual's core competencies have been with each job. … In John's case, we discovered that he had a strong skill set in expanding market share for his last company, as well as a lot of experience in contract negotiations, municipal operations, market analysis, budget and project management, and new business development, to name a few."
"The questionnaire was easy to complete," Bynum said. "I had it done and back to them with all the info down in about 90 minutes. In three or four days, I had a new resume. It was a very easy and fast experience, and a reader could look at it and get a really good, well-highlighted overview of the positive things I had done in my career."Avoiding age screening
One of things Bartell frequently stresses to all clients with resumes going back more than 15 years is that some human-resources departments may screen by age. Despite the fact that age discrimination is illegal, it is also difficult to prove. Make no bones about it, Bartlett contends, age screening happens to everyone.
"When HR sees a resume that goes back too far, they are generally screened out for a position," Bartell said. "And that means being put in the pile you don't want to be in.
"Also something to know: People who have had equity positions in companies are generally viewed as less desirable because (there are) expectations around not being able to take direction from management compared to those who have never owned their own business."
There are exceptions, of course: the most senior-level positions like CEO or CIO. In those cases, it is expected to see over 15 years of experience, but still on the standard two pages.
Bartell said she suggests staying within that 15-year timeframe and giving accomplishment-driven highlights of past experience. In Byrum's case, Bartell was able to pare down his older public-administration experience and focus on the more recent areas of sales and business development without losing the trajectory of results he created in city government.
Another very important thing Bartell did was to "make sure we said the word 'promoted' " in Byrum's resume. While a hiring manager might infer a promotion by seeing "Sales Manager" above "Regional Sales Manager" at the same company, Bartell made it clear that the switch in title reflected Byrum's rise in position and responsibility. After all, titles aren't consistent from company to company, and the titles alone don't tell the story.
"When they see the sentence 'Promoted from Regional Sales Manager to National Sales Manager,' there is nothing for a hiring manager to be confused about," Bartell said. "Don't leave anything to the imagination. Spell it out clearly and show its impact."
Byrum is already seeing the results. He's had one phone interview, and two more scheduled in the coming weeks.

I've seriously been too sad to look in here
I check this forum everyday. This lockout makes me sad and frustrated. I feel like that lockout could have been avoided if both sides were more proactive before the expiration of the last CBA.
Like every columnist reiterates, the fans are the only losers in this lockout.
I tried watching the Bulls game the other night and had to shut it off after the 1st QTR.
I am going crazy without Hockey right now.
FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER ChiTownGuido23
2-goal game yesterday from Kyle Beach. They lost 6-3 to the Wolves, but hopefully this will get Kyle going. He's got just 3 points (3 goals) in 7 games.
Kyle Beach had a 3-point game (1 goal, 2 assists) in a 6-3 win over Lake Erie. After the win over Lake Erie, Beach is up to 6 points (4 goals, 2 assists) in 8 games. Not bad at all. He's also a +4. Brandon Pirri is leading the team with 10 points (5 goals, 5 assists) in 10 games and is a +1.
This is good to see as I feel that Beach and Pirri could definitely have a future with the Blackhawks if they keep developing like this.
Edited to change the point total from the Lake Erie game.

^^^ Really hoping Beach and Pirri continue their success thus far. I'm pretty high on Pirri as a 2C type guy, he still needs to fill out a little but he definitely is offensive minded enough to play there in my opinion.
It'll be interesting to see how long it takes Teuvo to come over. I think he could be ready as early as next season depending on how much he bulks up before then.
Back to Beach and Pirri, I agree that Pirri definitely has a chance to be a 2C type guy. He's got a lot of offensive talent. Beach was a player that I was really excited about when we drafted him. He looked like a top-line power forward that could protect Toews and Kane. I still think he could be a top-6 player on this team, and he has a chance to be a Ladd or Brouwer type of player. Someone that's got great size, can score around 20 goals and get in front of the goalie and block his view. That's something we haven't had on our team since the Cup year.
When looking at all of our prospects, I get excited. Our front office for as much as they get criticized for not pulling the trigger on big moves, we sure have stockpiled young talent that have a chance to play in the NHL. Pirri, Beach, Teuvo, Kruger, Olsen, Leddy, Danault, McNeill, Clendening, Shaw, Hayes, Morin, Stanton, and of course Brandon Saad all look like players that could or have already played in the NHL. It's not just about cranking out players that can play in your top-6. Guys like Shaw, Stanton, and Hayes are guys that will play a big role on our team, most likely in a bottom-6 or bottom-4 role. Any of those guys listed above could turn out to be bottom-6 or bottom-4 players, but I think the upside is there for them to be top-6 players.
Just as I'm getting excited about our prospects, this article makes me even more excited about our prospects, Jaeckel or not.
I still really like Morin as well. The couple games I have gone to out in Rockford this year, he's looked solid. Pirri, too.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulOctober 02, 2012Reviewer: Lisa in New YorkThese bars are terrific, and just what I was looking for. The chocolate tastes very high quality, particularly compared to other sugar-free brands (and I've tried virtually all of them). Unlike the other reviewers I do not detect an aftertaste from the sweeteners. Of course, they have a high cocoa content so will be more bitter than other brands. In fact, what I love about these is that you aren't overpowered by the sweeteners--I find with many sugar-free brands the sugar substitutes taste sickeningly sweet, even more so than regular sugar. With these bars you really get a pure chocolate experience with just a hint of sweetness to take the edge off the natural bitterness. Will definitely be buying these again!This review is specific to Sugar Free 83% Dark Chocolate Bars
April 14, 2013Reviewer: Suzanne in OhioI love these!! They are my new favorite.. I will be ordering more since the rest of my family love them as well.This review is specific to Sugar Free 83% Dark Chocolate Bar
November 12, 2012Reviewer: Heather in AlabamaMy 9 year old son loves this chocolate! Great treat WITHOUT maltitol!! (If you ever tried the chocolate bars with maltitol, you will always steer clear).This review is specific to Sugar Free 83% Dark Chocolate Bar
April 09, 2012Reviewer: Rebecca in CaliforniaOrdering again after ordering 1 each of dark & mint to try. I'm giving these 5 stars because I can eat them without any side effects like I get with others. I have a very difficult time with fibers & will not eat most fake sugars like splenda etc. Makes life difficult to come up with treats. I will say they are like a bittersweet chocolate vs a creamy sweet bar but the longer I stay off sugar and learn not to compare junk food with healthy replacements, the better things taste. These help me a lot and I look forward to trying the orange as well!This review is specific to Sugar Free 83% Dark Chocolate Bars, Mint

CHICAGO - In a sea of green jerseys hundreds proudly cheered for Mexico here early Friday morning, June 11, at a local indoor soccer gym as the North American nation competed against South Africa in the much-anticipated opening game of the 2010 World Cup.
In the first half it appeared Mexico had the upper hand controlling the ball most of the period although they failed to score in several close attempts.
However in the second half South Africa came alive and made the first successful drive toward the goal scoring on Mexico.
Some thought the point was unfair.
"Mexico just got robbed," said viewer Marco Hernandez, 35, who works for a printing shop. South Africa is the host country so the officials gave the point to the team even though, according to Hernandez, the player who scored was off-sides.
At half time organizers of the viewing party held a contest with guests to see who could shout "Goooooal" the loudest and most creatively. Winners won framed autographed Mexico jerseys. The bustling rooms were crowded and consisted of mostly Mexican fans, men and women, young and old. The feeling was high-spirited, loud and exciting. But when South Africa scored, the rooms fell silent.
But Mexico came back and scored late in the second half. Neither team was able to execute offensively after that. Game one of the World Cup ended in a 1-1 tie.
"Growing up soccer was always part of my Mexican culture," said Hernandez. "It's the passion that we share."
Many said it's great that the World Cup is being played for the first time on African soil. It's a tremendous plus for the sport worldwide and especially for the African nations involved, they said.
Others said soccer is more than just a sport we enjoy: it's something we live for.
"It's the biggest tournament in the world next to the Olympics," said Miguel Angel Ramirez, a 35-year-old visual artist. Africa is "the cradle of humanity" and having the games in South Africa will boost its economy and help provide jobs, he said.
A highlight at the event was the special appearance of Pavel Pardo, a soccer legend from Mexico, who helped the team qualify for this year's World Cup. Pardo played in the 2006 games and is an active player with Club America in Mexico City.
The World Cup is an extraordinary opportunity and a great experience for players of the world to compete, said Pardo. It's a time when people can be proud of their country and support their national soccer players. Pardo said he has confidence Mexico will make it far this year.
"The World Cup is important for the entire world but it is also especially important for the South African people because it's in South Africa," said Pardo.
"Soccer and the World Cup unite people and it unites nations," he said. It's a time when countries support international solidarity, anti-racism and community empowerment, he said.
Fans say teams to watch are Argentina, Spain and Brazil.
"Only 32 teams are worthy of the World Cup and it will come down to one who will have bragging rights for the next four years," said Patricia Arreola, 26, who works for Illinois State University. Arreola has always loved soccer even before playing goalie for her high school team.
"Plus soccer usually has a lot of cute guys with nice legs," she adds jokingly.
It's a simple game that people can easily follow and it's perfect for families to watch on Sunday afternoons, said Arreola.
"The games will also allow South Africa to showcase its rich culture and the beauty of its people," she notes.
Jose Cuervo, a popular tequila maker, sponsored the early morning viewing party. Chi-Town Futbol, a large indoor soccer gym located in the predominantly Mexican community of Pilsen on the city's southwest side, hosted the event.
Jeff Welsh, Chi-Town Futbol owner said the venue was eight years in the making featuring 15 large plasma TVs and one big screen. He hopes his venue can become the Mexican headquarters for World Cup viewers in Chicago. The gym runs adult soccer leagues seven nights a week all year round and 95 percent of the customers are Latino, he said.

hello everyone,
i saw this fixie on craigslist and would like to know if this would be a good bike to learn fixie tricks.
is the gear ratio ok for doing tricks? will i need to do any further adjustments/modification on this bike? will the bike go backwards when i paddle backwards?
I am selling my all black Fuji Track Fixed gear. I built it up about a year ago with all new parts, but just bought a brand new set of 700c alex rims with new tires and tubes yesterday (my old set was stolen). It has pretty light riser bars,( I dont know the make) with red oury grips. It has a black Pake crankset, and a black body geometry seat. I've taken great care of this bike, it has a couple of dings and scratches from riding and locking up, but no dents or cracks whatsoever. It has been in a garage while I wasn't riding it so there isn't any rust on it. The bike is 56cm and has fit me from when I when i got at 5'10". Now I'm a bit over 6'1 and I could still ride it for a couple more inches . Gear Ratio is 48x16. THIS BIKE CLEARS BARSPINS! Looking for a quick sale, 285$.

Thanks again! I recently posted separately about Persephone. I have always loved the sound of this name. And I think it goes well with Vesper, but its meaning and Greek myth is harsh....at least I think so.

Out of the names you mentioned, Beatrix, in my opinion, goes best with Vesper (which is such a lovely name, by the way). Severine would make it a very Bond-ish sibset because of Bérénice Marlohe's character in Skyfall, but if that's what you guys want, I think they sound good together too.
Some suggestions:
Vesper and Ingrid
Vesper and Alva

Bond-ishness is my reservation about Séverine! Though I like it I don't know if I am willing to go that far with the Bond style! Its a bit too much I think. Have always loved Beatrix so thanks for another push toward that. Ingrid is actually another we have discussed......hmmm...
