How To Reuse Old Carpet
Total Articles: 1
Carpets are an essential home furnishings used for decorative and utilitarian purpose in our home and office. Instead of throwing away old carpeting and rugs, it is great idea to put them to good use. They are many benefits of reusing these old carpets. Here I will introduce you some great ways to take full advantage of these old carpet.
Animal Shelters
Animal shelters can use donations of washable rugs to provide beds for homeless dogs and cats. They'll provide comfort and warmth, and they're better than old towels and thin blankets. Consider washing and donating your old washable carpets to a local animal shelter. More than likely they'll gladly accept any washable materials you're willing to donate.
A doormat at the entrance is important as it helps people to wipe off dirt and debris, avoiding any spread onto the floors, indoors. For this, take cuttings out of large old rugs, they will perfectly serve as mats in the entryway. If you are among the few who like to rearrange their furniture frequently, floors will be prone to be scratched or even damaged. To protect your floors, cut small pieces of a used rug, into shapes of square or circle and glue each piece to the bottom of the furniture. The thudding of a washing machine or dryer can be quite annoying at times, old rugs can be used to dampen or muffle such noise. Simply place large pieces of rug under each of the four corners of the machine and Voila!
Catch fallen laundry
Make small laundry items like socks and underwear easier to retrieve when they fall behind the washer and dryer by placing a narrow piece of carpet on the floor between the two appliances. The next time something falls, just pull out the strip and the clothing item will come with it.
Use old rugs inside vehicles for floor mats when traveling during weather when it is snowing or raining. Use them for the vehicles seats or floors for transporting animals to and from the veterinarian.
Sell it
Before dumping your old carpet or rug on the curb, try cleaning it up to see if it can be reused. Even if you don't want it, you'd be surprised how many people would love to purchase your rug. Selling it (at a garage sale, through want ads or Craigslist.org) keeps it out of the dump and puts extra cash in your pocket. Look up the care instructions for your carpet's material and wash it, or even dye it for a fresh, new look.

April 16, 2017 bring to the table
bring to the table
(1980's | businese | "have to offer," "start out with")
What one brings to the table by definition benefits the party already there. It is a positive term, rarely used ironically, indicating qualities that will improve an existing situation or resolve a problem. In a job interview, it's the thing that makes you desirable. Among athletes, it's what will make the team into a winner. In diplomacy, it's a bargaining chip that helps move the process along. Generally, it's what you can do to help. There was a time when it might connote baggage as well as benefit; what you brought to the table was simply what you had, good or bad. But since 1980 or so, it has taken on the favorable connotation exclusively. The phrase arose in business and government; nowadays athletes also use it a lot. To my ear at least, when a phrase becomes popular among athletes, it has stepped irrevocably over the border into cliché country. I'm not exactly sure why, but I think it has to do with the fact that professional sports figures are quick to adopt new expressions from each other and use them frequently thereafter, rarely with any imagination or creativity.
You have to keep your eye on the table, because idioms that rely on that word come from different places. "Bring to the table" calls to mind negotiation: the big table everyone sits around to hammer out an agreement. "Everything on the table" almost certainly comes out of gambling — the moment of showing your hand. "Seat at the table" could come from either, or from the dining room. To get anywhere at any table, a seat is the minimum requirement. Waiters bring things to the table all the time, but that sort of pig-headed literal-mindedness doesn't get the blog written. In all these expressions, the table by now is purely metaphorical; when an actual table is involved, we understand it to be a play on words.
There's a certain kind of new expression that develops a settled usage even though it is not particularly distinctive and could occur in everyday conversation without any reference to the specialized meaning. That description is a little vague, so let me offer some examples: "at the end of the day," "be careful out there," "do the math," "don't even think about it," "good luck with that," "I'll shut up now," "in a good place," "play well with others," "smartest guy in the room," "what's your point?." All of these expressions have in common an ordinariness, almost a triviality, that allows us to notice, if we think about it, that they could just as well have no meaning beyond that carried by the word string itself. And yet, when we hear such phrases, we grasp an extra dimension, so that even if the sense of the expression is not much different from the literal sense of the words, we know we are hearing a distinct expression. There must be a process that allows such utterances to transmogrify into idioms, but I don't understand it. Is there any way to predict that "I'll shut up now" would take on a universe of connotation while "I'll go to the store" (so far) has not?

November 23, 2016 done deal
done deal
(1980's | businese | "sure thing," "fait accompli")
"Done deal" always makes me think of the mob expression "made man." The alliterative spondee lends both expressions the necessary sense of finality and irrevocability. I don't know of any connection between "done deal" and organized crime; the earliest uses of the term I was able to find come out of the financial industry, soon absorbed into political discourse. As you might expect given its business origins, "deal" clearly refers to transactions, not cards, although I can imagine a casino employee responding to a poker player's complaints with "Shut up — it's a done deal." Newsweek noted in 1985 that the phrase was a favorite of Treasury Secretary James Baker, and such early patronage by politicians favored its fortunes; there's no doubt "done deal" is as useful in politics as in banking (or the Mafia, for that matter). Even today, the phrase turns up most often in financial and political news — not that they're different. "Done deal" has now come to be used more often, if not predominantly, in the negative, to caution us that there's no guarantee the contract will be completed as advertised (e.g., "this is not a done deal").
"Done deal" originally referred to business maneuvers, but as politicians picked it up it came to mean any sort of dead certainty (a little like "slam dunk," but used in different situations). A way of saying "we're not going back" or "you can count on it." A done deal need not actually be done, but the point is that even if the papers aren't signed, they will be soon. It does seem to me that "done deal" is often used to refer to a transaction or agreement that is not yet formal or final; once the deal is truly executed, it is no longer necessary to call it "done."
"Done deal" represents a form of grammatical displacement not uncommon among new expressions. The concept is an old one, so how did we express it in the old days? "Settled," or more poetically "chiseled in stone." In a simpler key, "all over." These are all adjective phrases that cannot serve as subject or object. Commonplace ideas look for new parts of speech to inhabit, and nouns may slip into power where once ruled only adjectives. To some extent I am speaking fancifully in attributing will to words, which are but bits of breath and ink, but if you spend enough time observing the language, it's easy to slip into the belief that words have life and motive independent of us, their creators but not their controllers.

February 26, 2016 off the charts
off the charts
(1980's | journalese (economics) | "through the roof," "extreme(ly)," "amazing(ly)," "off the scale")
Investigation has led me to revise my understanding of the rise of this week's expression. First, the old meaning of "chart" is irrelevant; I haven't found any evidence that "off the charts" has any connection with maps. I thought it had something to do with pop music charts, and sure enough, the earliest reference I found dates from 1956 in Billboard, describing a new record featuring Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby: "It has now registered very strong on all fronts and is just off the charts." The little bagatelles of research I carry out are not what you would call comprehensive, but the phrase didn't show up again for twenty years in my usual sources. When it did, it was in the context of graphs displaying economic data. Picture the stock graphic that goes with business news reports on television: the line with an arrow on the end of it zig-zagging up and down across a grid. Now picture that line sloping so steeply upward or downward in a brief period of time that it goes below the x-axis or rises beyond the upper margin. THAT's "off the charts." (After all, even the most successful record in history can't go any higher than no. 1, and therefore must still be ON the charts. "Off the chart" was used interchangeably with "off the charts" in the eighties, another clue that the origin of our expression is not pop music charts, which are always plural. Oh, and by the way, when we say "pop music charts," we're talking about record sales, not instrumental arrangements.) The expression was used several times during the primary and general election campaign of 1980 by George H.W. Bush, and that seems to have given the phrase a boost. Bush also played a role in popularizing "out of the loop," "you're history," and "go ballistic."
Graphs and charts are merely means of making economic data quickly intelligible, so other kinds of statistics — demographic, medical, meteorological — could go off the charts, too. Music sales rankings definitely did spawn a closely related term, "knock (or fall) off the charts," also available before 1980. That use represents an early stage in the evolution of this phrase. Falling off the charts was as common as flying off of them until 1990 or so, but that concept has disappeared. And the verbs have gotten lazier over time, too. In the old days, "off the charts" generally went with active verbs like "zoom" or "soar," "slide" or "drop." Such verbs still crop up occasionally, but today we are much more likely to get the copula, usually "is" or "was." A noticeable difference, but probably rather minor in the grand scheme of things. And another change in range: "off the charts" is used as an adjective (or adverb) phrase much more often than it used to be, though examples may be found as far back as the seventies.
From political and economic pundits the expression spread to sportswriters, who found its vigor useful in describing athletes. Today it can show up almost anywhere. Politicians are not above using it, but they seem less enamored of it than the rest of us now — or maybe it's just that the rest of us have caught up. "Off the charts" has not become so overused that it has been stripped of excitement; it still has a little pizzazz. May it keep its sizzle rather than turning into a flaccid echo of itself.

November 14, 2015 incentivize
(1990's | businese (finance) | "provide incentive," "encourage," "promote")
Editors and writers made a sport of deploring this word in the eighties and nineties, when it was reviled as unnecessary and clumsy, an obvious instance of a noun turned awkwardly into a verb by adding the "-ize" suffix, like "prioritize." As late as 1997, E.J. Dionne expressed hope that "incentivize" could be expunged from the language. But it was not to be; this word has taken root and become quite common, though we already had several equivalents and it sounds clunky and jargony. The contexts in which it arose — business and politics — remain the ones in which it is most regularly used. How do you incentivize car sales or job creation? Customers or executives? Agriculture or high tech? The expression straddles the divide between creating incentive TO do something and incentive FOR someone to do something, and can apply with equal facility to either. It always boils down to creating compelling reasons for people to act a certain way, but it is not always necessary to explain what you're doing. Gov. (now hapless presidential candidate) George Pataki once talked about "incentivizing work" among welfare recipients; Congressman Bob Inglis asked how to incentivize good health. It's the same idea, but they skipped the part about rewarding people for finding paying jobs or adopting salubrious habits.
"Incentivize" first appeared in LexisNexis credited to chair of the Federal Reserve G. William Miller, who used the word repeatedly in testimony before Congress early in 1979. He certainly did not invent it; Google Books offers several examples as far back as 1969. In 1985, J. Peter Grace used it and was given tentative credit for the coinage by UPI. It's all wishful thinking. Neither Miller nor Grace invented the term, but the fact that experienced reporters were inclined to give them the honors gives proof of its slow rise. "Incentivize" appeared now and then in the eighties (Jack Kemp used it in 1989) but did not really get rolling until the nineties.
A minor but nagging variant is the verb "incent," which still makes most people with an ear for English wince, but does turn up occasionally. George W. Bush used it in the mid-1990's as governor of Texas, though according to Texas Monthly, his aides made him stop. It was pretty new then and may not really have qualified as a word, depending on your standards, and it may not make the cut even now, for all that it appears in several dictionaries. It still sounds more illiterate than cutting-edge, and it seems to incense usage mavens more than "incentivize," which is longer and windier but has the oddly comforting, or just anesthetizing, tone of bureaucratic language.
For while "incentivize" originated among our business mavens, it is a classic example of bureaucratese. No surprise that bureaucrats and financiers share a lingua franca, but one may wonder about the special needs of bureaucrats that bring forth words so obnoxious to the rest of us. To form a verb from a noun by adding a suffix — a practice nearly universally scorned among authorities in usage — may be seen as an attempt at precision, avoiding the use of a synonym, or near-synonym, that may be misconstrued or misunderstood, preferring to work with the exact word at hand. Cynics will reply that precision and clarity are the furthest things from the minds of bureaucrats, and their real intent is to bewilder us by creating strings of not-quite-comprehensible English sculpted to mean the opposite of what they appear, or carefully avoid saying anything at all. Both sides are right at least part of the time, but the debate has less to do with language than with politics. Ha! Just try keeping them apart.

September 19, 2015 startup
(1990's | businese, computerese | "new business, firm, etc.")
Hyphenated or not, this expression was well established as both a noun and an adjective by 1975, particularly in the business press, and it doesn't appear to be much older than that. Google's n-gram viewer finds almost no instances before 1950, and the curve doesn't start to rise sharply until 1970, so it was fairly new then, but easy to use and soon absorbed. When it was a noun, it meant "commencement of operations," or more colloquially, "opening" or "launch." Normally it went with heavy industry, so it was common to talk of the startup of a plant or pipeline, for example. But businessmen love to scoff at grammar distinctions — there's no denying startups invariably entail startup costs, a startup period, or, heaven forbid, startup problems — so they converted it effortlessly into an adjective. "Startup" may also clock in as a verb, but in that part of speech it is usually two words, even today.
By 1990, the concept of a "start[-]up company" had emerged, and occasionally the noun disappeared, leaving "startup" on its own. That wasn't normal then, but today it is the rule. Back in the eighties, the shift from galumphing old factories to nimble new firms that didn't make anything three-dimensional was driven by a hostile takeover of American life by the personal computer, a fait accompli by 1995. So many new companies concerned themselves with computer hardware and software that "startup" became common in computer publications by the late eighties. The word is older, but the way we use it today was probably driven by increasing computer sales, and computerese became the funnel for a businese expression — no surprise there. Michael Dell (of Dell Computers) was quoted recently on the "startup ecosystem" in India, and he even spoke of "meeting" (without "with") several startups, not a use of "meet" I've encountered before. Since I haven't actually offered a definition, here's one I encountered on a German web site that does the job pretty well: "Startups sind Jungunternehmen mit besonderen Ideen – sehr oft im digitalen Bereich." (Roughly, "Startups are new enterprises with unusual ideas, most often in the computer sector.")
My sense is that "startup" had primarily a favorable connotation when it was getting established between 1985 and 1995. Such budding concerns were generally pegged as plucky or scrappy, determined pioneers taking on long odds with heads held high and a sound business plan. In that respect, it was more or less the opposite of "upstart," which was always uncomplimentary. But as the term has lost novelty, it may have lost its sheen. Anyway, I don't have the sense any more that it is complimentary. It seems more neutral than anything else.
The key related concept is the entrepreneur, always a figure celebrated in American mythology. Entrepreneurs breed startups, or shed them, or bring them forth from their heads, like Zeus giving birth to Athena. The crashes and recessions that have become frequent since the Nixon years may have dampened the spirits of some of these go-getters who start their own companies, but their flame burns bright as ever in our official worship of business. Entrepreneurs take the initiative, do their homework, embody healthy risk-taking, create jobs and prosperity, and otherwise exemplify the American way. Entrepreneurs are lauded especially on the right, because entrepreneurism is all about me rather than all about us. (That's an oversimplification, but I'll stick with it.)
According to my calculations, this is the 300th expression I have written about, at greater or lesser length. (I have become more loquacious over time, not less. Brevity is the soul of wit, indeed.) I chose "startup" as anniversary fodder partly because no operation was ever more shoestring or quixotic than this blog. I say thank you to my readers, to the ones who landed here once off of Google and never came back as well as the ones who read every post and comment faithfully. (You know who you are, and there ain't very many of you.) I don't do enough to encourage comments and feedback, but at least here I will say, if you ever feel an impulse to fire off a reply to one of my posts, or to send me an e-mail at usagemaven at verizon dot net, do it. Even if I don't answer, I am grateful that you took the time, and I will profit from your wise words.

June 24, 2015 standalone
(1980's | computerese, businese | "independent," "unconnected," "separate," "isolated")
The earliest instances of "standalone" (sometimes hyphenated, even in this day and age) in Google Books date from the sixties and seventies, nearly always in talking about non-networked computers. The first hits recorded in LexisNexis all date from 1979 in that trusty journal American Banker — but invariably in discussions of the use of computers in banking. The word was used often in the early days of ATM's, which could, in the manner of computers, be divided into the ones clustered together for protection (e.g., in a bank lobby) and the ones out in the field, far from help. (The latter had to be connected to a mainframe somewhere or they wouldn't have access to anyone's account data, of course. And even a standalone computer had to be connected to a power source. No computer is an island; no computer stands alone.) ATM's were brave and new in the eighties, and I suspect their spread pushed "standalone" into prominence. Other business types were certainly using the word by 1990, generally in reference to computers. It was widely understood by then but remained primarily a hardware term at least until 2000. One mildly interesting point about "standalone" is that it could apply to an entire system as well as to a single device. A standalone device can function even if it is not part of a larger system, but an entire system can also absorb the adjective if it doesn't depend obviously on comparable systems.
"Standalone" retains a strong business bias, even today, but it is available to describe many things besides computers. A complicated piece of legislation might be broken up into standalone bills. Or a film for which no prequels or sequels are planned (or one in which a character that had been a supporting player in other films becomes the protagonist) might be so described. A government agency that doesn't rely on another agency for its writ. A restaurant that isn't part of a chain. "Standalone" is not generally used to mean "freestanding," although it seems like it ought to be, literally speaking. I am a little surprised that I find almost no examples of the word used as a noun (one does see it used as a trade name), although that seems inevitable. All it takes is the careless insertion of one lousy one-letter article, and the deed is done. You'd think it would be harder to blur fundamental grammatical categories, but no.
The rise of this term inevitably accompanied a change in how we use computers. In the seventies and eighties, when we began to get serious about turning them into tools for business, the idea was that each employee's work station had to be connected to the mainframe, where all the applications and data were stored. In the nineties, we shifted to the opposite model: each employee's computer should have a big enough hard drive to store software and data; every work station became its own mainframe (or server, as we would say now). In the last few years, we've pushed the other way, and now minuscule laptops and tablets run software from the cloud, and store data there as well. The same shift has taken place outside the office; home computers have undergone a similar evolution. There are no doubt good reasons for the shift; the rules and conventions of the computer game have changed quite a bit. But like many such sizable shifts in our culture, it has taken place with little or no consideration of why we did it the other way. Are the once highly-touted advantages of standalone computers no longer real or significant? We don't know, because the issue was never debated out where most of us could hear. We did it the old way because there was money in it, and now the powers that be have found a new way to make money. You're stuck with it whether it helps you or not, and you're not even entitled to an explanation. That should be surprising, but in practice, it isn't. Our policy debates routinely fail to explore how things got to be the way they are. It's as if we all woke up one day and said, "Look, a problem! Let's fix it!" With insufficient historical understanding, we attack large-scale problems with little or no attention to how they arose and fail to acknowledge the evils the existing approach has successfully prevented.

May 7, 2015 low-hanging fruit
low-hanging fruit
(1990's | businese | "the easy part or stuff," "easy pickings," "quick results")
The primary point of this expression is quick, easy, and beneficial; the secondary point is making yourself look good. New managers often go after low-hanging fruit to get quick, eye-catching results. This may lead others to denigrate their accomplishments as cheap, but fixing obvious problems for the sake of an obvious improvement (in the bottom line, productivity, or morale) is something no one ought to apologize for. The expression is generally used to hint that it will be impossible to continue to make progress at the same pace, but it may also suggest the quick progress made so far promises more of the same. My sense is that the expression has never really borne the dishonorable connotation of "easy way out," although I have seen a few examples very recently, so the concept may be coarsening as we speak. A recent post on greentechmedia.com defines the expression as "do a few small things, and big results will happen."
I can't discern a definite origin, but this expression was used most often in the business community and started to show up regularly after 1990, with scattered use at best before then. Executives, consultants, and bankers used it, usually with "pick the" in front of it. Politicians, ever keen to be where the money is, latched onto it quickly, and it mostly remains the property of those with power. The meaning of the phrase has changed little: obvious ways to improve efficiency or profit, or maybe just your life. (Wisegeek has the best discussion I found in two minutes closeted with Google.) The phrase can cover more ground now, of course. In the nineties, cheerleaders for technology used the phrase to refer to savings or gains in output rendered by computers. More recently, the emphasis has shifted. Now, rather than harvesting the fruit, you try to avoid being harvested, that is, avoid becoming an easy target for hackers and cyberthieves, ever on the cyberprowl for low-hanging cyberfruit.
One interesting point about this expression is that it is nearly always used with the past tense. By the time anyone mentions it, it is all gone; its notable absence reminds everyone that the easy part is over, and everything from now on will be more costly and harder to obtain. It is beloved of managers warning their bosses that they can't be expected to keep producing at the same rate, but it might also be an executive claiming that an industry has done everything reasonable to meet regulators' demands, or a salesman telling you the most likely customers are already sewn up. When it's all picked, we've reached the point of diminishing returns. The processes or upgrades that constitute low-hanging fruit change over time, and yesterday's complications are today's low-hanging fruit: "There comes a time when new technologies are no longer new and become a series of low-hanging fruit components to assemble into new and disruptive opportunities." (citation)
Another interesting point about this phrase is that even after all the low-hanging fruit has been picked, there must be more opportunities; it can never be used to mean that we have exhausted all the possibilities. There can be no low-hanging fruit without high-hanging fruit.

March 30, 2015 touchy-feely
(1980's | journalese? therapese? | "unscientific," "soft-headed," "frivolous"; also "hands-on")
"Touchy-feely" is actually a little old for the blog, having arisen in the late sixties or early seventies to talk about Esalen and encounter groups. In its original sense, the term was quite literal; the phrase referred invariably to physical contact, often with the implication that there was something illicit about it. No doubt some of that stuff really was orgies disguised as treatment, but more legitimate forms of therapy also explored the benefits of contact — affectionate, violent, or otherwise. This meaning of "touchy-feely" was always most common but the expression had two other meanings since the seventies that remain available. One is "affectionate" — but "touchy-feely" is often used more specifically to describe someone who subjects students or employees to unwanted touching. The other, less common, is "hands-on," as in a museum or lesson. So an exhibit where visitors are encouraged to touch the objects on display might be described as touchy-feely. This is not a common usage, but I found examples from the seventies and the teens, so it demonstrates a low-grade persistence. Occasionally, it can even mean "intuitive to use," as in a smartphone feeling natural under one's fingers. As far as I can tell, the phrase has nothing to do with "touchy," meaning irritable or easily offended. Older expressions that may have exercised influence are "namby-pamby" and "lovey-dovey." A newer one that is used in similar ways is "warm-fuzzy." (Thanks, Liz!)
The reigning meaning of "touchy-feely" mutated, or grew, rather quickly. By 1980, it was already possible to use it much more loosely to talk about all kinds of human interaction, not just tactile. Anyone who tried to get a group to work, play, or learn together effectively by getting to know each other (or themselves) or talking about feelings rated the term. To this day, it is used to talk about the unquantifiable, the impressionistic, the emotional. Even when "touchy-feely" doesn't mean touch, it always means feelings.
The expression is generally used with derision, which may be veiled or unconcealed. The state of being "touchy-feely" is the antipode of rigor and analysis, so it is unscientific and its benefits are therefore considered unprovable. But it is also opposed to machismo. Real men do not drag emotions into the conversation, or base their actions on them (which is just as well, because when they do, they tend to turn violent). It is also opposed to law and order; cops and prison guards reserve special venom for those who advocate anything other than forcible and remorseless crackdowns on criminals. The range of people who use the phrase with a sneer is wide: engineers, computer geeks, physicians, businessmen, law enforcement, political conservatives, real men from all walks of life. At its broadest, it becomes a synonym for vague, impractical, effeminate, soft, or weak. Even when it is used jocularly, an undertone of scorn is usually there. When tough-minded executives use the term, they do so to dismiss anything unrelated to the bottom line, and the phrase connotes employees paying too much attention to themselves and not enough to the welfare of the company. The work done, and even the employees themselves, have a dollars-and-cents value, and anything that suggests that they might have other kinds of value, to each other or to the organization, is brushed aside. In extreme cases, human warmth of any kind, even in the briefest manifestations, is considered detrimental to profits.
"Touchy-feely" has come to stand for a wide range of attitudes, beliefs, and ways of seeing the world. In that respect it resembles another sixties word, "holistic," but it has fewer defenders. You don't use this term when you're talking about making the office more productive by creating a collegial and friendly atmosphere, except perhaps with a tone of rueful irony.

February 8, 2015 play well with others
play well with others
(1990's | academese (education) | "cooperate (be cooperative)," "get along well," "work well with others")
This expression got my attention when Allan Gurganus published his similarly titled novel in 1997. LexisNexis shows pretty clearly that the phrase, while going back a couple of decades in educational parlance and even political reporting, hadn't been widespread for more than a few years. In the early nineties, it started popping up in a variety of sources, notably computer magazines and arts writing. In 1982, political columnist Richard Cohen attributed the phrase — in its expanded form "work and play well with others" — to the "education biz." (In case you were wondering, he was referring to Muammar Gaddafi and using the phrase in the negative, as it so often is.) Cohen was an early adopter, but it turned up occasionally in political journalism throughout the 1980's. There is little doubt that the expression goes back to that American scholarly institution, the report card. It's one of the criteria used to evaluate how well small children deal with other kids, so that the self-centered, sulky, or withdrawn ones might be spotted early. With adults, the phrase takes on a more general coloring, so that it denotes someone who is easy to work with, affable, unselfish, responsible, and able to contribute to group efforts, light or serious, without making the rest wish he or she hadn't. Playing well with others requires good interpersonal skills, to use a term of the same vintage. If you're not good at those things, then you don't play well with others. You may be any of a thousand things, but you are always difficult. Prickly, idiosyncratic, egotistical, sullen, whatever — failing to play well with others never connotes commendable individualism. It's all about orneriness.
A slightly older word for such a person is "team player," the same verb used in more of an athletic and less of an educational context. Before that, you might have said that a person "pulled her weight," or that he was a "good scout," though that was a more general compliment. The phrase has for years frequently been used in businese, most often in articles about how to keep your employees happy, or just how to keep your employees. I'm not sure when or why we started using "play" to talk about what used to be known as work. Elementary irony aside, the shift takes advantage of the original connotation of "play well with others." Like "on task," its origins in teachers' dialect forced on it a patronizing character even after it came into general use. Particularly when used in the negative, the phrase tends to sound snarky, and there is often more than a hint that the target is not just unreasonable, but downright childish. On the other hand, when used unadorned, it seems to have shed most of that tinge by now. By and large, "plays well with others" has evolved into a compliment. The negation has retained its original patronizing inflection, but the affirmative has lost it and become positive over time. At least that's how I hear it.
You would think the phrase "play well with others" would fall naturally from the lips of musicians, and occasionally you run across a book about ensemble playing or being a good accompanist that uses it in the title. But it still has the air of a play on words rather than a straightforward, literal phrase.

October 5, 2014 big box store
big box store
(1990's | journalese?, businese?)
"Big box store" succeeded "superstore" (late seventies) and "megastore" (mid-eighties). The superstore was copied from the French hypermarché, where you could pick up a box of cereal, a television set, a new blender, some nice flowers for the wife, AND pay your electric bill, all in one trip to the grocery store. "Supermarket" already meant something else, and while "hypermarket" has gained some currency in the business press it has never caught on elsewhere. A megastore — the term was popularized by Virgin Records, most likely — didn't boast the same variety of goods, but it still promised a wide selection within a narrow range. As early as 2001, a Maryland Department of Planning document listed "superstore," "megastore," and "big box store" as expressions that meant the same thing.
A big-box store — it seems to appear hyphenated or as two separate words about equally often — could be either a superstore or a megastore. It has to do with the size of the emporium (big) and shape (boxy). If you find that explanation too boring, maybe it referred originally to the crates from which one pulled items to place in one's outsize, unmaneuverable shopping cart. In the classic suburban incarnation, it's a mammoth one-story building with little in the way of decor or ambience but rich in utilitarian charm. (It pains me to report that Home Depot on W. 23rd Street in Manhattan has two stories. In the city, those boxes have to be stackable.) When the term came into vogue in the nineties, it referred at first to warehouse-type stores where one buys in bulk (Sam's Club, Costco), and the fact that they looked like warehouses was part of the point. Home Depot took advantage of the same esthetic standards — the concrete floors and pallets sagging under bricks inspired trust in the home handyman. Best Buy or Bed Bath and Beyond had to work a little harder for their customers. Wal-Mart lies somewhere in between. Big box stores back in those days were often part of a "power center," which could be either a mall or shopping center, only on steroids. ("Shopping center" was what we called a "strip mall" in suburban Baltimore, ca. 1975.) Today, the big box store embraces a wider field, including things like Target (which is basically a cheap department store), Pier 1, T.J. Maxx, Sports Authority (any of which might have been considered megastores in 1990). There is a move afoot to conflate the term "big box store" with "anchor tenant." Any big, popular chain store rates the term, except perhaps a traditional department store like Macy's or J.C. Penney. In 2006, a Chicago law defined big box stores as those "that occupy more than 90,000 square feet and are part of companies grossing more than $1 billion annually." Merchandise and ambience no longer matter — only sheer size.
Like all forms of overgrown retail, big box stores have always had vociferous opponents, and a backlash soon formed, with the job savers lining up against the bargain hunters. The urge to find a bargain has driven American shoppers for a long time, and big box stores can certainly undersell their competition. But in modern times, there's more to it than just finding a soul-satisfying discount. Shopping has become in itself an act of worship. I remember the first time I walked into a Bed Bath and Beyond and realized that such emporia are our cathedrals. Huge, high-ceilinged buildings filled with row upon row and shelf upon shelf of gleaming goods. The opulence, the vastness, the hush, the concentrations of shoppers comparing similar bedsheets, say, each creating a catechism out of cotton and microfiber, queen-size and king-size, 300 and 600 thread count. Mammon was the first American idol.
Not to get all nostalgic, but when I was a boy, you could still go to the dime store, which had similar stock to that of dollar stores nowadays (or the fussily named ninety-nine cent stores). Yes, we had big supermarkets, but they didn't try to multitask. We didn't have as many discount stores then, except in the form of outlet stores — factory seconds! We didn't need them. Enough places stocked enough cheap merchandise that there was no need for special stores set aside for non-millionaires. Everything about retail has skewed higher since the seventies, even at the low end.

Leonard Cohen dies at 82
Canadian singer Leonard Cohen has died aged 82, according to a statement on his official Facebook page.
"It is with profound sorrow we report that legendary poet, songwriter and artist, Leonard Cohen has passed away," the announcement said.
"We have lost one of music's most revered and prolific visionaries."
There were no details about the cause of Cohen's death. A memorial will take place in Los Angeles at a later date, the announcement said.
The Montreal-born singer's hits included Suzanne and I'm Your Man and he released his 14th album, You Want It Darker, just last month.
He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008.
"This is a very unlikely occasion for me. It is not a distinction that I coveted or even dared dream about," he said.
Born into a Jewish family, he later became a student of Zen Buddhism.
For five years, from 1994 to 1999, he took a break from the music industry and lived at Mount Baldy Zen Center, east of Los Angeles.
"My life was filled with great disorder, with chaos, and I achieved a little discipline there," he said. "So I decided to return to music."
Singers, writers and politicians paid tribute to Cohen on social media.

Hello Doctor, I am married for 2.5 years and came to know that I have pcod my doctor has prescribed normoz twice a day. My cycle is regular but was not able to conceive for the last 6 months can you help me with your suggestion.
It may happen sometimes that you suffer from an undiagnosed medical condition in spite of appearing healthy outwardly. However, your body gives you constant warning signs to indicate that something is wrong with your health. Here are some signs which may be early symptoms of some severe health issues and should not be ignored.
1. Sudden weight loss - If you are not suffering from obesity and you have lost excessive weight in the past 6 months you need to consult your doctor. This sudden drop in weight can be caused by underlying conditions like hyperthyroidism, liver disease, cancer or diabetes, interfering with the way your body absorbs nutrients.
2. Persistent high body temperature - Persistent fever can ring an alarm indicating an underlying cause like UTI or tuberculosis. Lymphomas, which are cancerous, may also be responsible for this persistent fever. If your temperature continues to be 103 F or more or if you continue to have fever for more than 3 days you should consult a doctor immediately.
3. Difficulty in breathing - If your breath is short it can be due to a hidden health problem. Extreme temperatures, obesity, and strenuous exercises are mainly responsible for this shortness of breath. However, if these are not the causes of your breathlessness, you might be suffering from bronchitis, asthma, the blood clot in the lung, pneumonia or any other heart or lung diseases.
4. Bowel incontinence - If you notice unexplained changes in your bladder movement such as blackish stool with blood spots, prolonged constipation and frequent urge to have a bowel movement you should consult your doctor. This sudden change in bowel habits can be caused by a bacterial or viral infection.
5. Personality changes - If you are experiencing deterioration in your thinking skills, have sudden behavior changes and face difficulty in focusing or shifting attention you might be suffering from some severe problem caused by an infection, mental health conditions, poor nutrition, and effect of certain medications.

Menopause is one of the most significant transitions in the life of a woman. While it is a natural process, it often entails a lot of discomfort and re-adjustment. A woman's body undergoes a lot of hormonal changes, it is therefore essential to maintain a healthy sociological and physiological ambience around the woman to minimize the distress that can potentially arise in times like these. During menopausal changes, the body tends to amass a lot of impurities.
Ayurveda recommends specific diet plans and lifestyle decisions to ease out the transition. Ayurvedic methods are aimed at reducing the enormous emotional stress that a woman is likely to endure during these times. Some of the practices that can mitigate the anxiety caused by menopause have been enlisted below:
Balanced Diet: Having the necessary nutrients in the rightful quantity is extremely necessary to soothe the menopause induced agitations and trauma. Ayurveda recommends that you avoid food items that trigger off indigestion problems. Extremely salty and sour foods as well as spicy and oily foods can prove to be detrimental for you during menopause. Dressings and condiments like ketchup and mustard are known to not resonate well with the digestive system when your body is undergoing hormonal changes. Ideally, you must follow an astringent diet. Food items which are sweet and bitter to taste have benefiting properties. Wheat based foods as well as sweetened dairy products are extremely favorable. You may also look at leafy vegetables for purifying the system from within and acting as a rich source of protein. One of the most foremost guidelines to follow during menopause is the increased intake of water.
Lifestyle Choices: To facilitate an easy transition of the bodily systems, you need to advocate certain conscious lifestyle changes as well. It is important to adapt to a healthier way of living so as to avert any physiological consequence of menopause. You need to get sufficient amount of sleep in the course of a day. Sleep rejuvenates and refreshes the body for a healthy mechanism and provides the requisite amount of rest. Hot oil massages can also prove therapeutic during menopause and palliate pains and irritations that are likely to occur in such times. A timely intake of the meals is yet another mandatory routine that you must follow to battle the menopausal discomforts. Finally, Ayurveda recommends regular exercising for leading a happy and healthy life ahead.

07 Car Versa: Era Y, Pay Attention!
Total Articles: 1
Automakers are clamoring to construct and market place automobiles for the Generation "Y" crowd which, loosely defined, and encompasses new drivers and mainly everybody who is beneath 30. Toyota threw the gauntlet down in 2003 once they introduced a line of automobiles beneath the Scion brand. Now, Nissan is responding along with the Versa - to be released throughout the summer of 2006 - is their answer. Will the Versa compete successfully or be lost inside a sea of Gen "Y" automobiles soon to flood the marketplace? All of that is definitely as well early to determine, so let's take a look at the Versa and what the auto has to present to motorists.
A stop by to Nissan's site reveals substantially about the Versa. As opposed to a certain Scion vehicle that takes its styling cues from a toaster, the Versa is aerodynamic and reminds me in the Toyota Matrix. Available as a 4 door sedan or 5 door hatchback, the Versa is expected to retail for around $12,000, the exact same price range as Scion automobiles. Like Scion, the Versa will probably be relatively well equipped to give motorists a worth packed expertise without the need of getting to add on a number of thousands significantly more for the base sticker price to be able to reach a satisfactory and comfy driving knowledge.
Together with a 1.8L I4 engine, here is what you can expect to be included with base models:
AM/FM/CD audio technique
Air Conditioning
Power side mirrors and automatic trunk release
six speed manual transmission [4 speed automatic is optional]
Split folding 60/40 seat together with the hatchback
Not a poor regular gear list for the cost. For $2,000 much more, SL versions will include aluminum alloy wheels, cruise manage, energy windows/doors/locks, remote keyless entry, a souped up sound method, and even more.
The car or truck will possess a 102 inch wheel base which is extended to get a automobile of its variety. The outcome is far more interior room, with 4 adults possessing ample knee and leg area to weather extended trips.
Photos from the interior reveal a automobile that is properly even though out and not low cost looking. I especially like the dashboard with its overlapping circular instrument panel and straightforward to reach audio and air conditioning controls. A generation ago, entry level automobiles would have looked and felt inexpensive. Today's drivers expect more as well as the Versa delivers inside the form of a decent amount of regular gear and interest to style.
The Versa replaces the Sentra as the entry level Nissan. Nissan has restyled the Sentra and "promoted" it up a notch a lot like Honda has completed with the Civic and Toyota using the Corolla.
While way more high priced than Chevy's Aveo and Kia's Rio, the car or truck has a great deal more flair and style than either a single. Still, a single has to wonder how the Versa will compete against Toyota's soon to become released Yaris and the all new Honda Fit. Throw in new models expected from Dodge and Ford and add Chinese cars for the mix as well as the complete entry level marketplace becomes saturated.

A collection of outtakes from various Bloomfield sessions, this is necessarily an uneven package, and the title isn't quite accurate. In fact, it's something of a stretch to label Bloomfield's slide guitar version of a song by Carole Bayer Sager ("When I Need You") either blues, gospel, or ragtime. (It's an impressive performance, however).
The rest of the album does live up to its title; the ragtime stuff is the most revelatory, particularly the solo "Blake's Rag," which shows what a terrific acoustic player Bloomfield could be (as does the delicate and aptly titled "Hawaiian Guitar Waltz."). Highlight: a wonderfully sleazy version of Duke Ellington's "Mood Indigo."

Top Quotes About Challenging Others
1. "You are doing God's work. You are doing it wonderfully well. He is blessing you, and He will bless you, --even--no, -especially--when your days and your nights may be most challenging. Like the woman who anonymously, meekly, perhaps even with hesitation and some embarrassment, fought her way through the crowd just to touch the hem of the Master's garment, so Christ will say to the women who worry and wonder and weep over their responsibility as mothers, `Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole.' And it will make your children whole as well."

Would Wrangler design tweaks rile the Jeep faithful?
Though I am no Martin Luther, I'd like to nail a note on the door of the Church of the Most Holy Jeep Wrangler.
The design orthodoxy of the Wrangler -- the gospel of Jeep, as it were -- needs a tweak or two before the 71-year-old vehicle's next makeover.
Now, before the Jeep faithful charge me with heresy and strap me to a solid front axle atop a big pile of kindling, let me explain: The tweaks I'm suggesting are small and wouldn't affect the Wrangler's performance but would make it a better vehicle to own. For instance:
1. It's time to let go of the collapsible windshield. Customers have been able to fold their windshields flat since the only color that Jeeps came in was Army green, but few customers ever do. Yet the design constraint of maintaining the ability to drop the front window means that the Jeep can put almost no rake in the A-pillars, increasing drag and decreasing fuel economy. I know the Wrangler is a rolling brick, but even a little improvement in airflow would help for all those times it's not on the trail.
2. Keep the buckles, but back them up. The Wrangler's hood buckles -- the two exterior straps and clips that keep the hood securely in place -- are just as much a part of Jeep history as its seven-slot grille. But in an age when thieves are as likely to steal auto parts as they are entire vehicles, a secondary traditional hood-release system, or keyed locks on the existing clips, could make the Wrangler a less inviting target.
3. Make the doors harder to steal. I can't think of another vehicle that's designed to allow consumers to remove the doors, and that's a Wrangler feature that should stay. But malefactors have figured out that the doors can sell for hundreds of dollars each, and can be easily removed. An exterior locking system, or even requiring a specially keyed tool, could help dissuade criminals and keep Wrangler owners from starting their day off with a very cold drive.
4. Pad the hard-top roof. Jeepers have taken to attaching handmade pillows to their hard tops with hook-and-loop tape in order to keep from banging their heads on the trail. Then they found out that those pillows also quiet the wind noise and increase insulation in an otherwise chilly cabin. Sounds like a winner to me, except for the floral-print pillow fabric.
5. Four clips, a pulley and some rope. The Wrangler's heritage as a drop-top SUV is crucial to its identity, but it shouldn't require a team of people to remove the hard top. If the hard top had a grab point at each corner, one person could -- in theory -- remove the top without assistance with little more than a modified bicycle lift in a garage or strapped to a nearby tree branch.
There are endless other design suggestions for the next Wrangler, as evidenced by the thousands and thousands of aftermarket accessories available for the descendent of the original MB, the Army Jeep. And Jeep engineers have the luxury of time, since the Wrangler continues to fly off dealer lots and isn't due for its next major overhaul for several years.
Some Jeep enthusiasts cling to orthodoxy that a vehicle so shrouded in history shouldn't evolve with the times -- that certain elements are sacrosanct. They may be right, but I think failing to roll with the times leads to a dangerous abyss that even the Wrangler can't cross.
