Back by popular demand. Last week, I shared my 10 Tips For Single Moms Raising Boys. To be fair, this week, I'm going to share my tips for moms raising girls. As stated before, I have tremendous respect and love for single moms. For a good portion of my life, I was raised by my mother. For all the moms out there (married or single), I hope these nuggets of wisdom help when it comes to raising girls. I have a little girl myself and I know the importance of being a good parent for young ladies. Enjoy!
1) Don't punish the girl because you see things in her that you hate about yourself. Learn how to deal with YOU first so you can more effectively help her.
2) Being hard on her doesn't automatically equate a virtuous young woman. I'm not implying to let her do anything, heaven forbid, however; I'm implying that you should provide structure and boundaries, but not act as a prison warden.
3) Don't live your life through your daughter. Just because you were a cheerleader, doesn't mean she has to be one. Just because you were in the band, doesn't mean that she has to play an instrument.
4)When it comes to boys, she is looking at you to see how you treat (your husband, boyfriend, etc). She is listening to how you talk about men (good or bad) and this is what she is going to model in her life.
5) You can control what she wears. It's important that you train your daughter to have value in herself, long before someone "whispers in her ear." Don't say, I can't help what she wears or does. This is the door way for a long life of regrets for your daughter.
6) Just because you may have had bad experiences with men and/or relationships, don't raise your daughter to hate men, or be distrusting of everyone that she meets for the rest of her life. She is not you, even though she may have some of your traits and attributes. You can't raise her to be a "second you."
7) Build her self esteem continually with positive words and affirmations. She needs to know that she is complete all by herself and that she doesn't have to go looking for wholeness in another person or thing.
8) Spend time with her outside of school, housework, and the day to day, especially when she get older. She may not say it, but she still needs you. Spend some quality time, go out to eat, to the park, for a walk. You can't get those moments back once they are gone.
9) Raise your daughter in love and NOT fear. When you fear if she is going to get pregnant, meet the wrong guy, make the same bad choices you made, that's often what we attract. Raise her with the love of God and the faith to know that after you have done all that you can do, God will intervene and bring it all back to her remembrance.
10) Teach her how to love herself, love God, and how to remain pure and virtuous in a society where everyone is compromising. Remember, when you teach your daughter...you teach your daughter's daughter.
Mom's as an added bonus, I have included this great poem below as food for thought. Also, don't forget to comment on my blog post as well as follow this blog:
If I had my child to raise over again
If I had my child to raise over again I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.
I'd finger paint more and point fingers less. I would do less correcting and more connecting.
I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I would care to know less and know to care more I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.
I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play. I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.
I'd do more hugging and less tugging. I'd see the oak tree in the acorn more often.
I would be firm less often and affirm much more.
I'd model less about the love of power, And more about the power of love

Moms, I hope you enjoyed my tips. Comment and let me know what you think.

10 Tips For Single Moms Raising Girls
2 comments:
If parents only knew how important self esteem is to their children! Mother-daughter relationships are so vital for a young girls self image -- especially when the media is bomb-barding them with other things. Give them a healthy foundation to start with, let them know how valuable they are - a rare and priceless jewel! Wonderful article.ReplyDelete

How to Discipline Your Employees (rerun)
This comic is a rerun. There will be a couple more spread out over the next few weeks. I'm trying to build my comic-buffer back up. Sorry for any inconvenience.
As always, thanks for using my Amazon Affiliate links (US, UK, Canada).
Reader Comments (25)
Can you just repost my comment from last April to go along with this rerun?
Obviously, nobody likes having their cheese moved...
So, you're posting re-runs so that you don't have to post re-runs later?
Undeniable logic. Great re-run though!
So, wait... can you earn the same badge more than once? Are there consequences for attempting such a feat? Because if not, I'd just go for the same 24 badges over, and over, and over...
I love reruns! Odds are I may never have seen this comic ever again, but it's still salient, funny, and now even carries a bit of nostalgia!
Take another look at Scott's sash.
Reruns? How about a terrified silent scream Scott one?
These re-runs really *are* inconvenient. My users expect fresh comics! How many times are they going to buy the line that my comedy lab was raided?
Good catch, Chris S,! Our Scott is a true achiever!
I love that you managed to collect your 24 badges in the space of one week.
A re-run? That I haven't seen? Mr Mxyyzptlk on a crutch! I'm going to have to go back through the whole archive to make sure I haven't missed any others...
The upside of rerun comics - you notice all kinds of little details that had totally escaped you before. Like Scott having 24 badges.
The strip is a re-run and so is all the whinging about the strip being a re-run.
For those of us who weren't here in 2009 - brilliant. So many managers seem to think that negative reinforcement is the way to lead and then wonder why their teams are dispirited and apathetic. It's like that very old meme "Doing good work here is like peeing in dark pants. It gives you a warm feeling but no one else notices."
Does Missy give demerit badges for running out of backlog?
How did you manage to get 96% fired in a week, then hold on to that last 4% for at least 2 more years?? Must be I missed (or dont remember) the one where Mullet Boss asked you to hire your replacement self
Mullet Boss is becoming my favorite character in this Comic, just like Monty Burns is in The Simpsons and Disney's Uncle Scrooge in their Universe. I guess having an economically potent, erratic-minded boss type character with play-along underlings is good for "storylines".
Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!
How was that line not used?!
It was new to me.
As a former HR person, I can only reinforce the accuracy of this particular comic. As a person with a sense of humour, I can only reinforce how much I enjoy Scott's work, period.
And did anyone else think of the "Badge of Shame", here?
Why stop at 25? There's obviously plenty of room for more badges.
@Irrogical Roger: Scott's at 160% fired.
Is this what the motivational speakers mean by "Come to work each day willing to be fired"?
This is simply brilliant. Well done.
What you missed was the joyous time before accumulating 24 badges. Freedom is looking your boss in the eye and saying: "Don't like it? Well whatcha gonna do, give me another stinking badge?"
A rerun?
I don't remember it at all.
I'm happy.
What I'm wondering is how Scott and the other guy managed to get the exact same badges in the same order up to a certain point, and other guy started being good. Vacation?

Yesterday's farm tour
Yesterday, right after I finished baking bread for Jim's lunches, the phone rang. It was the people that another of my quilting friends hooked us up with. Their farm isn't on the market, but they're willing to sell. They were ready for us to come out and see it!
Jim unfortunately, was stuck working (on Father's Day no less), so I went by myself. I was really excited about this place, even though it only has thirty six acres, Jim's commute to work would be less than ten minutes, and I knew from viewing the property in Google Earth it was going to be completely private.
The land was great, totally secluded and pretty scenic with a really nice pond. We hiked over most of it, and got covered in seed ticks for our efforts. I could totally visualize landscaping (in edibles, of course) this property.
The house kept me awake all night long, tearing down walls, replacing cabinets and flooring, but no matter how much I wanted it to work, by morning I realized there was no way I could make the kitchen (even with a major remodel) work for what I do. Somedays I curse my love of cooking and preserving food!
Then the eighty seven acre place with the creek and pond is under contract, the owner found a buyer on their own. Sigh…
This morning I decided to open the sewing cabinets downstairs that house my vintage Singer 201-2 and 15-91, oil and run them for a bit. The 15-91 ran, as always, flawlessly as soon as I turned her on. It is one rock solid, hard working machine! I ran her for a bit and moved onto the 201. This machine, while having a superior stitch (pretty significant in my opinion) and the most lovely sounding purr, unfortunately doesn't like to run if I don't use her all the time. She starts out at a crawl, and it takes about ten minutes of sewing before she'll speed back up to normal. Once there, she's pure perfection!
So maybe I'll leave the cabinet open for a bit and work on my scrappy quilt downstairs for a few days. Next is my Singer 401. I don't think I've even powered her on since we got back from New Orleans over a year ago, yikes!

February 22, 2007
But what about Azerbaijan?
A few weeks ago, in that Hollywood purgatory just before the announcement of the Oscar nominations, I found myself at a party in honor of Borat.
I fully expected Borat to appear, dingy brown suit and post-modern Groucho mustache and all. Instead, as I walked through the door of the restaurant Jar, I came face to face with Sascha Baron Cohen. The actor who created Borat came out of his self-imposed in-xile to meet his potential Academy voters (and me) and impress upon them the fact that he was, indeed, acting.
I shook Cohen's hand maybe a beat too long -- the man is preternaturally handsome and poised, and I was a bit tongue-tied at first. Then I told him I thought his movie was brilliant satire. And the fact that as Borat, the anti-Semitic Kazakhstani journalist, Cohen spoke Hebrew, was an even higher level of brilliance.
"Ata m'dber Ivrit?" the actor asked me. Did I speak Hebrew?
"Ken," I said. Yes.
And so, amid the high-powered producers and directors, I found myself chatting in Hebrew with Cohen. He told me he learned it on a kibbutz, that he preferred to daven in traditional synagogues and that he was well-aware of the irony that Borat, who once urged the audience of a country and western bar to "throw the Jews down the well," speaks not Kazakh, but Ivrit.
A friend interrupted us: "What are you saying?"
"We were just talking about you," Cohen deadpanned.
As it turned out, the Academy didn't nominate Cohen for Best Actor, or "Borat" for Best Picture. It should have. I can't think of another movie of the past year that was as subversively clever or had as deep a cultural impact. Then again, by the time the Academy honored Charlie Chaplin, the man was near death.
Oscar doesn't do comedy.
Meanwhile, not long after I met Cohen, I met one of Borat's landsmen, so to speak. Consul General Elin Suleymanov of the Republic of Azerbaijan had sent me a column he had written taking issue with some of the stereotypes in "Borat," and he followed up the submission with a meeting. Yes, I know Azerbaijan is across the Caspian Sea and two countries away from Kazakhstan (well, I know that now, thanks to Wikipedia). But at the time, the coincidence seemed too perfect.
Suleymanov is a thoughtful and cultured man, and he would be the first to express his disgust that I'm even mentioning his name in the same paragraph as Borat's. But the deeper message of "Borat" was one that the consul general shared -- American ignorance might be blissful and funny, but it stops us from seeing the complexity of real life, and real human beings.
All of which -- Jar, Borat, Cohen, Suleymanov -- leads me to Iran. Iran has seven neighbors. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I could only name three of them: Turkey, Afghanistan and, of course, Iraq.
Iraq is a mess, a cauldron of intra-Islamic conflict. Afghanistan is heading down the same tragic path, as the Taliban assert greater fundamentalist control. All those Muslims are nuts, right?
Then there's Azerbaijan.
It is a majority Shi'ite country -- 70 percent Sh'ite, the rest mostly Sunni. It is a democratic secular state whose religious and ethnic minorities are embraced. Azerbaijan gave women the right to vote in 1919 -- one year before the United States did.
"My teachers were Jews. My doctors were Jews," Suleymanov said. "They have lived with us through good and bad times." (Azerbaijan's most famous Jew? Chess grand master Garry Kasparov.)
When Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad held his Holocaust denial conference earlier this winter, the Azerbaijani television station aired a debate on it featuring Arthur Lenk, Israel's Ambassador to Azerbaijan (yes, the same man who was Israel's deputy consul general in Los Angeles in the mid-'90s).
"He got one full hour," Suleymanov said. "There was a feeling he won the debate."
It's not just about tolerance. One-sixth of Israel's oil supply comes from Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is an economically thriving, moderate and tolerant majority-Islamic nation with great oil wealth -- like the real Kazakhstan, in a way.
Of course, Azerbaijan is small -- 8 million people to Iran's 75 million. But Azeris, the ethnic group that makes up the majority of Azerbaijanis, account for some 20 million Iranians. Mullahs who have tried to gain traction for fundamentalist teachings in Baku have met with little success, and Azeris in Iran have had a liberalizing influence.
"Every revolution in Iran began in an Azeri region, except the Khomeini revolution," Suleymanov said.
So is it possible for Shi'ite Iran to choose to be more like its neighbor Azerbaijan and less like its neighbor the Taliban? The consul general believes one key is to give Iran carrots and sticks to pull it toward the Western orbit, where many of its citizens prefer to be.
Of course, the threat of a nuclear Iran raises the stakes and shortens the amount of time the West can allow Iran to evolve. In the meantime, it's incumbent upon us, as Natan Sharansky has pointed out, to hold Iranian leaders morally and politically responsible for their pronouncements.
But when the Borats of our American pundocracy assert that Islam is fundamentally incompatible with modernity, Israel and human rights, you might ask them -- what about Azerbaijan?

Eagles' Foles Practices Fully
Source: Mike Wilkening, NBC Sports Pro Football Talk
Eagles quarterback Nick Foles (concussion) was a full practice participant for a third straight day on Friday and is listed as probable for Sunday?s game at Oakland.
Foles missed the Eagles? Week Eight loss to the Giants, but he?s on track to start Sunday with Michael Vick (hamstring) ruled out.
However, in perhaps a positive sign for his longer-term availability, Vick practiced fully on Friday, according to the injury report.

Never shy about flaunting her bikini body onscreen and off, Demi Moore had long been regarded as Hollywood's most age-defying beauty.
But as the actress approaches her 50th birthday – and her marriage to Ashton Kutcher, 33, began to crumble – several sources tell PEOPLE in this week's cover story that the 49-year-old star battled deep feelings of insecurity. In fact, sources say the star was barely eating and partying wildly before her drug-fueled breakdown.
"As Demi got older, she convinced herself that she needed to stay young and skinny to remain attractive to her husband," says a source who knows the former couple.
Continues the source: "She needed reassurance all the time that she was hot and sexy."
Another source says that Moore, who is now seeking treatment following her Jan. 23 hospitalization, "was always fixated on being young. And the only thing that tied her to that, as she got older, was her marriage to a younger guy and hanging around young people."
For much more on this story, including Moore's bizarre behavior and her ex-husband Bruce Willis's attempt to help her, pick up this week's issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday

|RP council approves minor changes to garbage contract
Rohnert Park's City Council made a minor change to its franchise agreement with RP Disposal, aka, the garbage company, to handle all rate-setting and billing functions to its customers. It's a minor adjustment to conform to a new contract recently signed, and the five-member council had little to say about it. The change goes into effect January 2013.
"The city will no longer play a role in rate-setting for the refuse services and will solely regulate the maximum charges," said Finance Director Cathy Orme.
The council also approved minor alterations to the obligations of residents to receive or not to receive weekly garbage pickup services. Orme said the city's Municipal Code "is not clear" about this and noted the proposed amendments would "clarify" the garbage, and yard waste pickups are "voluntary and not required of any property within the city."
This would require getting a permit from the city's Public Works Dept. to allow self-hauling, if the homeowner or occupant doesn't already have one. Any vehicle used, pickup truck or two-wheeled trailer, would have to be licensed and a cover for the refuse if it's in an open truck or trailer.

Arteriovenous Malformations
An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins of the brain. This is a condition that is usually present from birth and may cause headache, seizure, or bleeding into the brain (hemorrhage). The treatment of AVMs can include surgery, radiosurgery, or embolization.
Hemorrhagic Stroke
A hemorrhagic stroke is the accumulation of blood anywhere within the skull vault.
Intracranial Aneurysm
An aneurysm represents a weak spot in the wall of an artery which results in a "focal bulge" or widening of the artery. In the brain, these aneurysms have a 2-4% annual risk of rupture which can result in "subarachnoid hemorrhage", or bleeding in the space around the brain.
Ischemic Stroke
An ischemic stroke (cerebral infarction) occurs when a blood vessel that supplies a part of the brain becomes blocked. This loss of blood supply results in the death of brain tissue in that area. Cerebral infarctions vary in their severity with one third of the cases resulting in death.

I'm not sure about the thyroid. I know that those still contain thyroid hormone. I think it would be OK to eat once in a while, but definitely not on a regular basis as it would be like taking Synthroid.
I have no idea about the adrenals.
I think the thymus (AKA as sweetbread, the other sweetbread being pancreas) is OK to eat fairly regularly. I think its main function is with the immune system. I am very jealous that you have access to this. I have been wanting to try sweetbreads for a long time but haven't found a vendor who carries them yet.

(Referring to the latest C-Kermit build
: We have a requirment an FTP connection over SSL from our system to an

Right, as noted on the website the FTP client is available only in
the Unix version of C-Kermit and in Kermit 95.
: UTILITY:[KERMIT.SOURCE] C-Kermit>set ftp ?No keywords match - ftp
: UTILITY:[KERMIT.SOURCE] C-Kermit>set
: So, can anyone help me get past this problem?
Only by adapting the FTP module (ckcftp.c) to VMS. This would be a
rather major undertaking, even by someone who would know how to do it:
. DEC C programmer
. RMS programming for accessing the local file system
. Familiarity with the various TCP/IP stacks used in VMS
. Familiarity with FTP and security protocols
. Familiarity with VMS-specific FTP protocols
Over the last few years I've spoken to almost everyone who has this set of
skills, but none of them has time to work on it, although everyone agrees it
would be a great addition to the VMS toolbag, if it were done: a secure,
scriptable FTP client for VMS.

Helps keep hardwood floors quieter
Not easy to work with but great quality underlayment.
By OscarD
from Chicago
I used this as an underlayment for a 12mm Brazilian koa laminate flooring and it made the flooring very quiet and solid. The laminate has a build in pad and with this underlayment the floor did not feel squishy at all.I gave it four stars because it is a bit difficult to work with and cut. It's a bit stiff so you have to make sure you line up your seams very well before remove the self adhesive strip cover. Once you figure out the best way to lay it down it goes down pretty easy. Also the ends will want to roll back up on you so make sure you weight it down with something to keep it from rolling back up.Because of the material it can be a bit challenging to cut so make sure you grab a new blade for that. I would recommend this underlayment, especially for laminates with built in pads.

very sturdy material, will buy again.

easy to install,
Excellent product!
By K. family
from Lansdale, PA
We used this product under our new Lumber Liquidator laminate. We put 700 sq ft of flooring on our main floor. We have no basement so our we are on a concrete slab. This underlayment has really helped to keep our feet warm and the dampness out. It also does a great job of cushioning and dissipating the sounds of two noisy toddler boys and a large dog. The only down fall was the way it was rolled. Maybe it was the way we were laying our floor and needed to unroll it but it was rolled backwards for our usage. We had to unroll and re-roll each roll. However, it was a minor inconvenience.
We ordered online and our products arrived in store within just a few days! We promptly received a call when our order was in and pick up was a breeze!
Good product. Easy to install

Not so sure on the change from 5/8th to 1/2". My brother put in 5/8 a few years ago and had no trouble with. Now it was only available in 1/2 and the edges were somewhat easy to chip awhile installing.
Great helpful people to work with at the store.

Good underlayment
By Will

This stuff is very dense, silent, lays flat, and lines up fairly well if you have a butt joint. I have used several types, and this is the best I have tried.
The people at the outlet were friendly.

Police say images found on laptop kept in airport locker
A former TSA employee is facing several charges of possession of child pornography.
Miguel Quinones, 38, of Manchester, turned himself in to Londonderry police Wednesday.
Officers said that more than 1,000 images and one video of what appeared to be child pornography were found on a laptop and thumb drives that Quinones kept in his personal locker at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport.
He is being held on $25,000 cash bail.
The TSA said it suspended Quinones without pay in January as the investigation began. When a warrant was issued this week for his arrest, his employment was terminated, TSA said.
The agency said the images were found on Quinones personal computer, not a TSA-issued one.

A New Digest of International and U.S. AttitudesNovember 23, 2009
The International Institutions and Global Governance program at the Council on Foreign Relations has produced Public Opinion on Global Issues, a comprehensive digest of existing polling data on U.S. and global public attitudes on the world's most pressing challenges -- and the institutions designed to address them. Developed in partnership with the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland, the digest consolidates global and U.S. public opinion across ten major issue areas: elements of world order, international institutions, violent conflict, terrorism, nuclear proliferation, climate change, energy security, the global economy, economic development, and human rights.
Many of the results in the digest are surprising, and they challenge long-held stereotypes about attitudes toward world order and international cooperation, both in the United States and abroad. This digest represents a compilation, analysis, and synthesis of existing polling data, rather than new survey research. Its value added lies in its comprehensive coverage of major issue areas, as well as its juxtaposition of global and U.S. attitudes toward each area. Getting a clearer picture of what citizens in the United States and abroad want is important for policymakers, because public attitudes will shape prospects for effective multilateral cooperation in the twenty-first century. Read an overview of the project.

January 11, 1999
Dec. 28: Someone broke into the Woodinville Public Auto Auction's rear lot and took a light bar from a flat-bed truck, as well as a set of tools, electric air pump, and portable jump box. Loss was estimated at $1,030.
Dec. 29: A dark red Pacific Jaguar mountain bike, left unlocked in a stairway at an apartment in the 14000 block of NE 181st Pl., was stolen.
Dec. 30: A 20-year-old laborer's name was signed to over $700 worth of purchases made between Nov. 2 and Nov. 22 on a furniture company's gas card. According to the accountant for the business in the 15100 block of the Woodinville-Redmond Rd., the Everett man was never given use of the card, but it was used to purchase soft drinks, cigarettes, and candy, along with gas and diesel fuel.
Jan. 1: Meat, and lots of it, was what a 32-year-old Bothell man was after at Albertson's. He allegedly exited the store without paying for two hand baskets loaded with 16 packages of assorted meats--including pork, shrimp, beef, turkey, and hams--with a value of $243.99. An assistant manager grabbed the man after he'd dropped the baskets in a parking lot, and with the help of citizens, took the man back inside. Police cited the suspect with third-degree theft.
Jan. 2: A city councilmember walking past a city park in the 14500 block of NE 182nd St. observed a leaning Mt. Fuji Cherry tree and, upon closer inspection, found two others had been uprooted and placed elsewhere in the park. An officer assisted in setting the trees back in the ground.
Also this day, a Woodinville man reported that his van window had been broken while parked at Redhook, and cash, movie tickets, a purse, and a wallet were removed. Total loss was estimated at $280.
Jan. 3: Jumbo eggs on a Bothell woman's "club card" turned up at a house and Toyota 4Runner in the 14700 block of 125th Ave. NE. A bag of smashed eggs, as well as a receipt pointing police towards the woman, was found by the Toyota. The victim said her son knew the woman from a local college.
Jan. 5: Someone broke into an auto repair yard in the 15000 block of Juanita Drive NE by cutting the chainlink fence. They towed away a car being held in a dispute over a payment and a service agreement. Garage owner suspects either the registered owner or the new owner of the vehicle.
Jan. 6: Police responding to a burglar alarm at Tully's Coffee Shop on Bothell Way at 7 p.m. discovered the door ajar, the till on the floor, and the change spilled. Someone had opened the door with a key and attempted to open the safe by prying off the combination dial. Damage was estimated at $1,650. The manager reported that all employees with a key had the alarm code.

Ex-Vt state worker sentenced in farm prostitution case
BRATTLEBORO — A former Vermont state worker has been sentenced to six months of home detention for his role in a scheme to bring women from New York City to Vermont to engage in prostitution with farm workers.
Alex Young-Hernandez was sentenced Thursday in federal court in Brattleboro.
The 56-year-old worked as a case aide for the Department for Children and Families for 10 years at the time of his arrest, The Burlington Free Press reported.
Young-Hernandez said he learned about the prostitution operation in October 2010 from Jose Flores-Rocha at a trailer in northern Vermont where Young-Hernandez lived with several farm workers, according to court records.
"Flores-Rocha had brought a woman to his trailer to engage in sexual acts with at least one of Young-Hernandez's roommates, who worked at a nearby farm. Flores-Rocha asked Young-Hernandez to provide numbers and names for farmer workers that might be interested in prostitution services. Young-Hernandez agreed," said a sentencing memorandum filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Heather Ross.
Flores-Rocha was arrested six months later by Border Patrol agents. A woman traveling with him said he had taken her to three farms on March 15, 2011, to provide sexual services to farm workers, court records said.
When Flores-Rocha was arrested, he had Young-Hernandez's business card and three text messages from Young-Hernandez on his cellphone listing addresses of farms where workers were interested in receiving sexual services, the sentencing memorandum said.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Grace Phelps scored twice, while Victoria Gates, Ally Brink and Alaura Rich also...

Hi all, This is one of my best experience working in automobile sector. I was being approached by tata motors to produce one of the components for their factory at Ahemdabad. It was a proud movement that I was about to become a Tata Motors supplier. I offer the price of my component at quite a low margins because I want the business for long term.
Here comes the twist, I met with Tata Motors General Manager Mr. Chakarborty (A bengali who started career with Tata Motors and stays on) He screwed me like hell for quoting low value and keeping margins low.
He said Tata Motors want to lift everyone including your labour and tea supplier. So we can not give you part at lower price, Please submit the quote again, chance is given because you are a start up entrepreneur.
Hence I submit the quote again and find the order confirmed without negotiating single paisa.
For reference: old price was 80 and New price was 97.22. and I received the order for 97.22.
Thanks Mr. Tata for such a valuable learning.......
Editorial note by Alok - Please read 'Mr. Marwari, have you met Mr. Tata' on this site
(Ps - I would normally NEVER add a comment on someone else's post, but this was a compelling additional read.)
Views: 1342
Congratulations........ Tata is TATA ...... they let everyone earn, hats off to the Bengali Babu .....
Tata Motors is coming up with CNG and diesel models and we got more business
Totally awesome...!!
Way to go ahead
Heh - while it sounds cool, it comes from japan, no? Toyota, Honda, etc. even guarantee suppliers debts with their banks, offer them real estate, make sure they come with a minimum profitability. They even vet your balance sheets every year. To a large extent this makes sense because a supplier failure is simply unacceptable as it takes a lot of time to get additional supply on board, customers don't get parts etc. But I agree, Tata is way better than say a Kirloskar or a Reliance, whose suppliers are easily replaceable. (Tata doesn't do this for all their businesses, btw, only for certain parts of Tatamotors)
Whoo That's awesome.
We have been working for Tata Motors for over a year now and the billing runs into crores. The twist that nobody would believe....we do not have a PO! They say an informal mail from a Tata Manager is more than enough security for a vendor. You bet. Never a delayed payment....never once a hassel.
That's Tatas
My reading into this incident and a very very valuable lesson for Entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneur's kneejerk reaction to being able to deal/prospectively deal with a Big Name Client - "Let me quote this at a Lower Price to ensure I get the Order and Beat competition"
Big Name Client / Business House who truly values quality over price - "If she quotes lower, it would mean she would cut corners in the deliverable to ensure she can complete the order. The lower amount she makes, a lesser amount would be earmarked for quality standards, service and R&D, which would ultimately harm our product."
So to all of us, lets ensure the pricing mechanism is not following an "undercut competition with lower pricing" psyche, but a "top value offering from our stables at competitive prices" psyche.
Agree ?
WOW!!! This is gr8.
And this is a Culture there and not a one off case. And the culture here goes Top Bottom and that is the only reason that it works so well!!
Best Wishes!!
Have you read this blog of mine - http://rodinhood.com/Mr-Marwari-Have-you-met-Mr-Tata

Otitis media is an infection of the middle ear common in younger children.
Most ear infections occur in infants aged 6-18 months, though anyone can get an ear infection. For reasons that are unclear they are more common in boys than girls.
Signs that your child might have an ear infection include:
Read more about the signs and symptoms of otitis media.
Most ear infections clear up quickly so it is not always necessary to see your GP.
However, it is recommended that you contact your GP for advice if:
You should also contact your GP if your child is more vulnerable to the effects of infection, for example due to certain medical conditions.
Most ear infections clear up within a couple of days. Paracetamol or ibuprofen (appropriate for the child's age) can be used to relieve pain and high temperature.
Antibiotics are usually only required if symptoms persist or are particularly severe.
Read more about the treatment of otitis media.
The middle ear is directly behind the eardrum. It is made up of three tiny lever-like bones that carry sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.
Most cases of otitis media are caused by a bacterial or viral infection. Often an infection of the respiratory tract (sinuses, throat, airways or lungs) such as the cold or flu can spread into the middle ear.
Younger children are particularly vulnerable to this type of infection as their middle ear is smaller and narrower than an adults' which makes it easier for an infection to take hold.
The risk of developing an ear infection is increased if your child:

EC2 2011: Workshop on Exploiting Concurrency Efficiently and Correctly
Snowbird, Utah, USA
[Colocated with CAV 2011]
The multicore revolution has created both a verification and a programming crisis. This has led to a surge of concurrency-related research activity from different viewpoints, such as rethinking of programming abstractions and memory models; standardization and formalization of commonly used APIs (e.g., MPI, OpenMP); and new forms of hardware support for parallel processing.
While developing tools for verifying and debugging concurrent systems has been an important theme at CAV, we believe that formal methods research can go beyond checking existing code/systems, and play a role in identifying the "right" abstractions for concurrency. The goal of this workshop is to bring together CAV researchers with experts who are involved in developing multicore architectures, programming languages, and concurrency libraries.
The two-day workshop will include five invited talks, presentations of position papers, and discussion periods. The position papers will be distributed before-hand on the CAV memory stick.
We seek submissions of position statements between 2 and 5 pages. There are many possible themes for a position paper, including a survey of the authors' relevant recent research, a discussion of deficiencies in current languages and tools, challenges for future verification research, and/or a vision for change.
Submission instructions
Prepare a 2-5 page position paper in PDF format using any tool you like. The title and the name of the authors should appear at the top of the first page. Please submit your papers through this URL. Those who do not have an Easy chair account will need to create one by visiting this URL.
There will be no formal workshop proceedings—therefore, the work will be considered "unpublished".
At least one author of each position paper is expected to register and attend to present the work.

This textbook of histology is announced as being prepared especially for medical students. In this it does not differ from most of the other textbooks on the subject. As stated in the preface, the author has tried to emphasize this purpose by omission of "detail that is of academic interest rather than of practical importance." Apart from the question of whether the teaching of medical students on such a basis is desirable, there remains the problem of determining just what is "detail of academic interest" and what is of "practical importance." There is no evidence in the text that the author has been able to make a sharp distinction between these. The abbreviation of the text is mainly due to omission of discussion and description such as the reviewer feels is necessary to give the student a clear insight into our present knowledge and lack of knowledge of the structure

If you really want to shoot 800 yards, consider loading your own. All match ammo is expensive.
Charles S
September 15, 2007, 03:21 PM
While the 270 theoretically can easily do 800 yards, there currently are few match bullet offerings (almost none) and no match ammo. No company currently offers VLD ammo.
There are currently better choices of calibers.
cracked butt
September 15, 2007, 04:01 PM
Never seen .277 match bullets, they would be very hard to find if they exist. Better off with something in 6.5mm or .30 cal
September 15, 2007, 04:44 PM
The pickings for match LD ammo is slim-to-none, but that doesn't mean that it CAN'T be done. It just means that there are easier paths to getting there.
The key would seem to be to avoid the trans-sonic region and be reasonably accurate. I would expect that any 130gr-150gr bullet with a BC over .4 would potentially work. Best I can tell from the calculator, a 130gr bullet at 3100fps and a BC of .4 is still moving at supersonic speeds at 800 yards.
Sierra makes a decent (but not VLD) 135gr OTM MatchKing in 277. Hornady's .277 150gr SST has a BC well over .500 and may be a decent LD target bullet.
September 15, 2007, 05:30 PM
A Sierra MatchKing bullet will kick butt at 800 yards.
The .270 is not a run-of-the-mill competition caliber. So, you'll have to roll your own.
September 15, 2007, 06:13 PM
There are only a couple of low BC match bullets available in 0.277. The 135 SMK mentioned only has a BC of 0.488, compared to the 175gn 0.30 SMK at 0.508. There's a reason you don't see 270 at LR matches.
By contrast, there is a huge selection of 30 cal, 6.5 and 6mm match grade, high BC bullets. The 260 remiongton or 6.5x55 will do everything the 270 will do at long range, and do it better with equal or less recoil.
September 15, 2007, 06:39 PM
The guys are right, the .270 is not a good choice for LR shooting due to the lack of quality high BC bullets.
Zeke Menuar
September 15, 2007, 09:44 PM
Sierra is the only company that I know of that makes a "match" bullet in .277. It's a good one. I can hit popcans at 500 yards with my M700 270 when my caffeine levels are low.
Any of the plastic tipped 140gr bullets from Nosler or Hornady might get get you out to 800 yards, but they are hunting bullets not match bullets.
The regular Hornady 140gr BT Interlock is a pretty good bullet out to 500 yards. But once again it's a hunting bullet, not a match bullet. You won't get the consistency and QA of a purpose built match bullet.
FWIW, I'd be trying 6.5mm or 30 caliber just because of the better long range bullet selection.
September 15, 2007, 09:54 PM
Which .270 cartridge? Winchester, Winchester Short Magnum, Weatherby?
September 15, 2007, 10:48 PM
6.5 cartridges are some of the best for long range shooting. Have some of the best BCs.
September 15, 2007, 11:00 PM
I'd get a .260 remington or 6.5x55 swede if I were going to shoot that far. .308 caliber bullets are pretty good too, I just like 6.5mm better.

Ted Cruz and God's Political Subversion
Ted Cruz became the first major candidate to declare a presidential run for 2016. His formal announcement came yesterday at Liberty University, the largest Christian university in the world.
Cruz's announcement at Liberty University was an important political strategy. Cruz is the poster child of the Tea Party movement. He wants to spread his influence by appealing to evangelicals. There is no better place to garner the evangelical vote than the largest Christian university on the planet.
Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post says that Cruz's message at Liberty was essentially this, "I am one of you; I will put my religious faith at the center of this campaign."
Cruz put his religious faith at the center of his campaign by invoking God and American exceptionalism, while at the same time critiquing Democrats and Obamacare. Liberty students cheered as Cruz passionately claimed, "God bless Liberty University ... God's blessing has been on America from the very beginning of this nation, and I believe God isn't done with America yet. I believe in you. I believe in the power of millions of courageous conservatives rising up to re-ignite the promise of America."
Cruz is the first serious candidate to officially throw his hat in the presidential ring. Because he quickly invoked God, it's a safe bet that future Republican and Democratic candidates will also invoke the blessings of God the Almighty.
So, let's talk God and politics.

Chapter 5 - Global Temperature Patterns
Basic Temperature Concepts
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules/atoms in a substance (gas, liquid, or solid). When a material absorbs energy, its molecules/atoms move or vibrate more energetically. Its temperature rises.
Thermometers are thin glass tubes that contain a liquid, normally mercury. As the thermometer warms, the mercury atoms move more energetically; they spread out. The mercury expands, rising up the tube.
Daniel Fahrenheit (1686-1736) produced the first useful temperature scale for use in thermometers. He chose the lowest temperature that he was able to produce in the lab as 0 °F and the (approximate) human body temperature as 100 °F. On the Fahrenheit scale the freezing point of water is 32 °F and the boiling point is 212 °F.
Anders Celsius (1701-1744) created a temperature scale based on the freezing point 0 °C and boiling point 100 °C of water. The Celsius scale is also called centigrade.
Lord Kelvin (1824-1907) introduced a modified version of the Celsius scale by using absolute zero (no kinetic energy) as the starting point, but maintaining the 100 degree span between the freezing point (273 K) and boiling point (373 K) of water.
Temperature Controls
Temperature At low latitudes more solar radiation falls on each square meter of the Earth's surface than at high latitudes because the sun is more directly overhead at low latitudes and at a lower angle in the sky at higher latitudes. The result is that low latitudes generally have warmer annual average temperatures than high latitudes.
Seasonality At low latitudes (in thr tropics) the sun is never very far from being directly overhead and the daylength is always close to 12 hours so there is little temperature variation during the course of a year. At high latitudes the noontime altitude of the sun changes from being low in the sky in the winter (below the horizon inside the Arctic and Antarctic circles) to moderately high in the sky during the summer and the length of day changes drastically. So there is a very large swing between winter and summer temperatures.
Altitude Recall that temperatures decrease on average by 6.4 °C per 1000 m (3.5 °F per 1000 ft) above the Earth's surface in the troposphere. Part of the reason is that much of the energy absorbed from the sun is at the surface and that energy most strongly warms the air near the surface. Another reason is that the density (or pressure) of the air decreases with increasing altitude so that half of the mass of the atmosphere lies below about 18,000 ft (high mountains. Thin mountain air cannot hold as much sensible heat as dense sea level air because there aren't as many molecules per volume of air to hold the heat. The thinner air does less to block filter incoming radiation so insolation is more intense. Surfaces heat more quickly. But when the sun goes down surfaces cool quickly since the air can't hold much heat.
Cloud Cover Clouds reflect sunlight and reduce insolation at the Earth's surface, though some light does diffuse through clouds to reach the surface. Clouds also absorb infrared radiation coming from the surface thereby reducing the loss of heat and decreasing temperature drop during the nighttime hours. Regions with frequently cloudy weather generally have a more moderate range of temperatures, both daily and seasonal.
Land-Water Differences
Land heats and cools rapidly, daily and seasonally - continental climates have extreme temperature ranges
Water heats and cools more slowly, daily and seasonally- marine climates have moderate temperature ranges
Evaporation Much more evaporation occurs over ocean surfaces than over land surfaces so over the oceans more of the surplus radiation (shorwave and longwave) is expended in latent heat of evaporation (LE) and less in sensible heat (H). Over land, in general, more of the surplus radiation is used in producing sensible heat (temperature change).
Transparency Water is transparent and sunlight filters down to depths of 100 meters or more. So the energy absorbed by the water is distributed throughout the upper 100 m, not just at the very surface. This distributed energy allows the temperature to rise and fall gradually (because large volumes of water are heated in the day and all summer and cooling at night and all winter). The soil and rock of solid ground is essentially opaque. Solar energy is absorbed and held directly at the ground surface. It is only slowly transmitted underground by conduction. Consequently, the ground surface heats rapidly in the daytime and the upper few feet of the ground heat much more rapidly in summer than the ocean does. The land also cools much quicker at night and in the fall-winter.
Specific Heat Water can hold more heat than soil and rock. It also takes more heat to change the temperature of the ocean compared to the land. So ocean temperature rises more slowly in the spring and summer and cools more slowly in the fall and winter and the day-night and summer-winter temperature range is much less for the oceans and the air over the oceans compared to the land and the air over the land.
Movement Water can mix vertially and flow laterally (ocean currents) so heat can be distributed to a larger volume of water than just where the heating takes place. This is another reasong that water temperature doesn't change as quickly or as much as land temperature.
Earth's Temperature Patterns
Looking at a temperature map of the Earth will show that temperatures are warm in the tropics and generally get cooler towards the poles. The lines on a temperature map are called isotherms, lines of equal temperature. The lines generally run east-west. The warmer temperature isotherms are closer to the equator and the cooler temperature isotherms are closer to the poles. This is a zonal pattern, a pattern that depends on latitude.
The position of the isotherms (and the temperature bands) changes with the seasons. During the northern hemisphere summer, the thermal equator, the line the connects the warmest temperatures on the globe, lies north of the geographic equator. The thermal equator shifts to south of the geographic equator for the southern hemisphere summer.
Comparing the pattern of summer temperatures with winter temperatures, another map can be produced for the global annual temperature ranges. As one might predict from a knowledge of the Earth's temperature controls (see above), the smallest annual temperature ranges are found in the equatorial and marine realms (especially in the tropical oceans). The greatest temperature ranges occur in large continental areas and at high latitudes (especially high latitude continental areas).
Sensation of Temperature
Wind Chill When it is cold our skin feels cold because heat is going out of our body. It feels colder to us when it is cold and the wind is blowing because the moving air is able to carry more heat away from our body. The wind chill factor is a determination of how much heat is lost from exposed skin (so how cold it will feel) depending on the actual temperature plus the wind. For example, if it is 20 °F out and the wind is blowing at 20 miles per hour, it feels like (the heat lost from exposed skin is equivalent to) 4 °F above zero. On the other hand, wearing a wind-proof outer layer over a warm inner layer of clothing largely nullifies the wind chill effect.
Heat Index Everyone knows that hot and humid feels hotter than hot and dry. The reason is that our bodies cool, in part, through evaporation of perpsiration. Heat energy is taken from our skin to evaporate perspiration (energy goes into latent heat of evaporation). When the air is humid, since there is already a lot of water vapor in the air there is less room for additional water molecules to evaporate from our skin. Evaporation is much slower. So our skin remains sweaty and the heat stays with our body. For example, a temperature of 85°F at 90% relative humidity feels like 100 °F (at 25% relative humidity).
