Employers Looking At Facebook...My Story
Happened here just a couple of weeks ago, it seems like this whole thing is becoming a major shitstorm where I work.
I'm a manager for a call compliance center at a local bank. I've been with this company almost 12 years and enjoy my work, as well as the people I work with. Within the last few months this VP has come in and is rattling cages, don't know if he's looking for something but I pretty much tend to do my thing. However, he gets annoyed at the fact I think for myself and don't always agree with him.
Friend of mine was leaving the company, wanted me to go out with them for a few drinks before he and the Mrs. moved to California for a new job of hers. So, my wife and I were out that Saturday night for dinner and stop by the bar/nightclub for a couple beers. Lot of people I work with are there. During the night, my friend tells me one of the girls that works with us is really scared and needs to talk to me at work. She happens to be there, and I tell her that on Monday to see me in my office.
So, on Monday she comes up with her supervisor, and lays her story out. Apparently, she makes comments about work and other shit (like most that have it do) on her Facebook page. One comment is that the new VP is apparently creepy and has supposedly hit on a couple of her girlfriends. Apparently, they also saw him one night at local gentlemen's club when she was with a bachelorette party and he was really freaking a lot of people out, even the dancers. The VP doesn't like what she is saying and thus is wanting us to discipline her for putting comments about work on Facebook.
I tell her that I am not doing anything and if the VP has a problem with it that I will deal with it. I know that companies are having these regulations about employees talking trash about work on FB and Twitter, but there is none where I work and as far as I'm concerned, it's their business what they put on their page when not at work. As I've stated here before, my personal rights (and the rights of others) are never up for negotiation as far as I'm concerned, period. I will never sacrifice my rights, nor do I expect others to.
The VP apparently comes to see me and has a huge shit fit that I won't discipline her. I advise him that's her business what she puts on her FB and Twitter and it's more of a concern that you act like you do when at the strip club and talking about your job here than her little comments on FB. He then says, "She said on her page you were boring. because you don't go out with the co-workers." I told him I don't because I don't party all hours of the night and they are my workers. I am their manager, not their friend. He stormed out.
Now, I'm hearing rumblings from my boss about the whole situation. Apparently, this VP wants my head because I won't bow and kiss his ring. I've put in almost 12 years with this company, but I can find another job tomorrow with my contacts. I know of at least three jobs I can get tomorrow by knowing the right people. I'm not looking for a fight, but will take one if it comes along.
So, what do you think? Does your employer have the right to view your FB and Twitter for stuff about work? I say no.
Re: Employers Looking At Facebook...My Story
I've definitely heard stories of employees being fired because of provocative images and "poor conduct" in general on social networking sites. I personally think it's outrageous for employers to regularly view their employees' personal accounts. This has yet to happen to me, but the most I can do is to be cautious about what I put on my Facebook.
Your absolutely right in this situation and I applaud you for putting your foot down when you did. The VP is obviously a douche and wants to abuse his power because people are calling him out on it.
Re: Employers Looking At Facebook...My Story
I work for a football club and we were told to be careful about what we put on social media sites.
It doesn't affect me much but I can understand why companies do have policies like that.
Fair play to you though for standing up against your tyrannical boss. You are officially the "Stone Cold" Steve Austin of the forum.
Re: Employers Looking At Facebook...My Story
Check your contract, check your employees' contract, go through them with a fine tooth comb, and if there's nothing about social networking then the VP doesn't have a leg to stand on. Keep a record of everything he says/does with regards to this particular situation though, in case he finds another reason to get you out, then you can show that the real reason was an illegitimate one and bang his buns bright blue in court.
Re: Employers Looking At Facebook...My Story
They have as much right as anyone else does. But this is why there are privacy settings on Facebook anyways. I don't think you should make comments (insulting comments) about the company in general or the main boss (CEO if you have it). That's about it though.
I've heard some companies even require employees to give their password so that they can check on the information on their facebook. That's just humorous to me.
Only times you shouldn't be allowed to post information about your company is if they have something secretive they don't want leaked. When I was in the Navy and working overseas we were specifically told not to comment about anything that went on in the "top secret" building. A few people did however and eventually a good friend of mine was court martialed. That' should be the only exception.
Re: Employers Looking At Facebook...My Story
Facebook and twitter are in the public sphere, so saying negative things work related on them is just as bad as saying it in person an being over-heard. It's like we're all told a children, if you don't have anything nice to say, the don't say anything at all. If this girl has been stupid enough to say negative things about a colleague online then it's her own fault isn't it, if she gets punished because of it.
A lot of people will be overly protective and say that what goes online is private but let's be honest, nobody posts stuff on social media sites that they want to keep private, they post things which they want to share with others.
This is what private messaging is for.
Re: Employers Looking At Facebook...My Story
Is it a government job? If no, then there is no reasonable expectation to privacy and there is no first amendment protection.
It's simple and most grown ass adults don't understand it: Don't write/post incriminating shit on Facebook. Most people don't comprehend that posting something on Facebook is like posting something on a giant bulletin board you would see in the hallways on a college campus. You post it, it's out there.
If this a hill you are willing to die on, OP? If so, do what you gotta do.
There is probably nothing in regards to Facebook in their contract, however there most likely is something in there about harassment/disparaging a co-worker etc etc. Making disparaging remarks about the VP (IE calling him creepy etc etc etc) falls under that and that is what will get her in trouble.
Potentially getting fired for harassing the VP is not exactly wrongful termination.
Re: Employers Looking At Facebook...My Story
she should have put privacy settings on her facebook so that only her friends could see what she is writing. That way the vp would not have seen what she wrote about him.
Re: Employers Looking At Facebook...My Story
Goes to show we shouldn't share everything we think/want/know.

Steamboat Springs Steamboat 700, the 536-acre development parcel rejected for annexation by city voters in March 2010, is back on the market with an asking price of $30 million.
David Baldinger Jr., of Steamboat Village Brokers, has listed the property.
Steamboat 700, which gradually would have added about 2,000 new home sites to the city of Steamboat Springs, originally was purchased in March 2007 by Steamboat 700 LLC, represented by Danny Mulcahy. The development group purchased the original 540 acres for $25 million and placed an additional adjoining 170 acres under contract.
The 540 acres were within the West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan identified as the place for the city to grow under a join agreement between the city of Steamboat Springs and Routt County. It would have allowed development proposals there to come through the city planning process even though it was outside the city in rural Routt County. The anticipation was that the land first would be annexed into the city.
Steamboat 700 hoped to include the 170 acres, which was beyond the urban growth boundary in the community plan, within its development but eventually relented and focused solely on the land within the boundary. They anticipated it might take as long as 20 years to see the mix of proposed housing units built.
After more than two years of debate and public hearings, the Steamboat Springs City Council voted, 4-3, in October 2009 to approve an annexation agreement that would have allowed the permitting process to go forward. However, opposition group Let's Vote easily collected more than the needed 829 signatures on a petition to put the agreement to a public vote. On March 2010, city voters rejected the agreement by a margin of 61 to 39 percent.
Mulcahy told Steamboat Today in the aftermath of the election that the development group had anticipated several options for moving forward if it was rejected, but the property since has languished with no discernible activity.

Steamboat 700 timeline
■ March 19, 2007: Steamboat 700 LLC, led by principal and project manager Danny Mulcahy, closes on the $25 million purchase of 540 acres of land owned by Steve Brown and Mary Brown, just west of current city limits. Adjoining 170-acre plot of land put under contract. The land is within the boundaries of the city's West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan and has been identified by city staff as a site for future growth.
■ July 26, 2007: Steamboat 700 LLC hosts an open house to gather public input on preliminary designs and planning for the Steamboat 700 property. More than 170 people attend the event at Olympian Hall in Howelsen Hill Lodge.
■ Nov. 20, 2007: Steamboat 700 developers submit to the city Planning and Community Development Department their most detailed vision to date for the 700 acres. The plan foresees between 1,837 and 2,243 residential units with as many as 448 of them being deed-restricted community housing units.
■ Jan. 15, 2008: The first major public presentation of the Steamboat 700 development drew mostly enthusiasm from a packed Centennial Hall audience during a joint gathering of Steamboat Springs' City Council and Planning Commission. The city's main goal was to discuss the process by which the annexation request and proposed development would be reviewed.
■ April 16, 2008: The Steamboat Springs School District asks developers of Steamboat 700 to provide 14 acres for a new elementary school and to cover half the cost of building it.
■ May 30, 2008: Local officials tour the former Stapleton International Airport in Denver, which has employed new urban design principles that Steamboat officials hope to see implemented in Steamboat 700.
■ Aug. 13, 2008: Steamboat 700 developers tell city planners they intend to move forward with pared-down development and annexation proposals after their application to extend the urban growth boundary by 185 acres was denied Aug. 12, 2008.
■ March 3, 2009: City Council votes unanimously not to require the developers of Steamboat 700 to bring water rights or large-format retail to the table as a condition of annexation. Instead of water rights, Steamboat 700 is asked to pay for improvements to put the city's existing water rights to use.
■ Sept. 29, 2009: Routt County Board of Commissioners votes, 2-1, to send a letter in support of Steamboat 700 to the city. Later that day, City Council gives preliminary consideration to a collection of ordinances and resolutions annexing Steamboat 700.
■ Oct. 13, 2009: City Council votes, 4-3, to approve the annexation of Steamboat 700, a project ultimately expected to bring about 2,000 homes, 380,000 square feet of commercial space and 4,700 residents to the western edge of the city.
■ Oct. 20, 2009: Steamboat Springs residents form a committee known as Let's Vote to lead a petition drive to send the Steamboat 700 annexation to a public vote. The group begins collecting the 829 signatures needed to put the issue to a vote.
■ Nov. 17, 2009: City Manager Jon Roberts confirms there are more than enough verified petition signatures to put Steamboat 700 to a public vote. Let's Vote collected about 1,500 signatures.
■ Dec. 15, 2009: City Council unanimously approves a public vote on Steamboat 700 and schedules a mail-only referendum election to conclude March 9, 2010.
■ Dec. 22, 2009: Good For Steamboat, Let's Vote campaigns formalize efforts for and against Steamboat 700, respectively.
■ Feb. 18, 2010: Ballots are mailed to city voters, and residents pack Olympian Hall for public forum about Steamboat 700.
■ March 9, 2010: City voters reject Steamboat 700 annexation.
■ July 18, 2013: Steamboat 700 back on market for $30 million


text: Laimbs is probably a long shot because he would be another rookie NBA coach, and I doubt that Joe or the ownership want to take a chance with another rookie. He would be my pick. I like JVG's candor as an announcer, and do not like Collins's lack of candor (never really speaks his mind on the air, though supposedly he does that as a coach). The Pistons might regard Collins as a safe choice, because: (a) he is a known quantity to the Pistons management; (b) he did reasonably well here in 95-98, even though he got canned midway through his last season; (c) he has a good deal of experience as an NBA coach and will not embarrass the organization the way Curry did on so many levels; and (d) he has a lot of drive to succeed and may have an excellent rapport and relationship with Joe.

great apartment lived up to expectations. The area is nice although a bit far from the center, but public transport makes it easy.
I recommend!
Lovely apartment and great location!
7 ladies, 60 yrs +, lived in the apartment for one week. We are very satisfied with its location and the nearness to the bakery shop and the butcher close to our entrance.They supplied us with good products for our breakfast.
It was a little more than 10 minutes walk to the Old Town.
The apartment is well equipped, but we missed an extra towel per person when we stayed as long as one week. The service of your office in Miodowa street was very good with helpful personell assisting us.
Very good apartment in secured building. Next to sluzew metro station. you don't need to rent a car. You can buy almost everything in small markets around. we enjoyed very much our vacation in warsaw. But you have to check the arrival time. The company is placed near the old town, far from the apartment and they will give you the key there as written (1600). Also, you have to bring everything needed to operate the washing machine and dishwasher. The dishwasher is leaking. The temperature is warm in september. I guess its hot there during summer. The kitchen is almost empty, you have to bring everything.
Everything was perfect! The appartment is comfortable and clean and it has a great view. The owners are really kind. I recommend it for your stay in Warsaw

The location of the apartment is ok, it is within 30 min walks to the important places and it feels safe. Supermarket is close by. In the evening it is a bit noisy. The kitchen has no ventilation and very hot in the Summer.
The apartment has no ac and in the Summer ac is a must for this apartment.
What we missed beside the ac was a place to put the kitchen towel in the kitchen and a holder for the toiletpaper
Perfect location, city center (for us) in walking distance. Well connected by public transport. Clean and very efficient appartement, bedroom looks at quiet court yard. Absolutely to recommend for younger couples / families (staircases up to second floor).

Another Praise for Perfect Auto Finish / TurboManGT
re-posted from the CTS-V section...
Ok, I did it on saturday afternoon. Took a few hours because my car was pretty dirty... The initial cleaning steps, wash and clay, was the biggest time consumption. The polish/cleaning step did not take long. Just apply with a foam applicator in small sections, then buff off. It doesn't have to sit on for very long, it's a polish with mild abrasives and can be applied with a random orbital buffer. The final sealant/synthetic wax step was very easy. Just apply with a foam applicator, wait 20 minutes to 2 hours and buff off. I waited about 45 minutes... ate dinner . Came back out to the car and wiped it off. Required VERY LITTLE elbow grease to get it to come off. I think I rubbed harder when I dried it...
Maybe Zaino is the #1 show car polish, but this should be called the #1 wax for ease of use and brilliance of shine. Throw away all of your old carnuba wax... quit working so hard, this stuff is easy.
I'll know for sure in a few months how good it looks to live up to the 6 month claim, but I think it will do pretty good. On my drive back home from my parents house I had about 300 bugs on my front bumper and grill. Just squirted some water on and it came right off. Stupid bugs.
Pictures... I know you don't get the cool relection on a white car like you get on a black one, but you can still see the reflection of my girlfriend in 002 off of the door and me in 003 off of the hood.

Re: Another Praise for Perfect Auto Finish / TurboManGT
I like the color, really mellow looking. Thanks for posting the pics. p.s. not to be picky, but its a polymer sealant, not a wax. You will get protection 6 times longer than wax. Most people are just used to waxing their car, not really being aware that synthetics are out there, and really easy to use. You don't need to be a profressional to apply, as you just found out. Great job, it feels nice to be able to get your car to look like that, that is why I love detailing so much, to see the final outcome.

Glad you had good luck with synthetic's, for the record Zaino is a "synthetic wax" , the inventor Sal Zaino called his product a "polish" because when he started with synthetic's about 30 years ago everything called a "wax" was a carnauba product.

As London erupts, and Bush tells us "the war on terror goes on", Eric Brewer, BTCNews.com's man in the White House has a timely posting today on the Administration's continued fudging of numbers in their Terrorism Reports.
The number of terror incidents continue to rise, even as the Administration attempts to downplay, fudge, obfuscate the numbers in various statements and annual reports wherever possible.
According to Brewer...
"The U.S. government's National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) announced this week that the number of worldwide terrorist attacks that occurred in 2004 was 3,192. This number is almost five times higher than the figure of 651 "significant" attacks that NCTC released on April 27 of this year, after the administration received widespread criticism for attempting to hide a major increase in terrorist incidents by dropping the data from the State Department's 2004 report on global terrorism."
Brewer's fine analysis goes on to point out that virtually all of the numbers reported by the Government, completely leave out incidents from Iraq and Afghanistan despite Bush's continued assertion that these countries are now the "central front in the War on Terror"...
"The number of attacks and deaths for 2004 would be even higher if complete data from the "central front in the War on Terror" were included in the administration's terrorism statistics. The NCTC figures do not include attacks on U.S. troops fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan. If they did, the number of deaths in 2004 would be 958 higher, for a total of 4,150, and the number of attacks, at an average of 40 per day in Iraq alone, would be about 14,600 higher, yielding an incredible 17,800."
Need more evidence that you are being lied to and manipulated in this "War on Terror"?
Brewer reports on a new analytical tool available from the "Terrorism Knowledge Base" run by Oklahoma City-based non-profit National Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism which is, as Brewer points out, funded by the Department of Homeland Security.
Brewer used the tool to create a graph of Terror Incidents from 1995 to 2004. Compare the years when those pesky "Liberals" who, according to Rove, were fighting terrorism by "prepar[ing] indictments and offer[ing] therapy and understanding for our attackers," versus the great success of those "Conservatives" and their new "catastrophically successful" approach...
"The war on terror goes on..."
(Brewer, BTCNews.com's blogger/White House correspondent, was interviewed several weeks ago on The BRAD SHOW along with BTC's blogmaster Weldon Berger. The archive of that interview is available here in MP3 format.)

The most hated president in US history,GWB
I feel less safe then when Bush(the mighty terror fighter)stepped into power!
And the United States of America is now the most hated country,thanks george!
Research 9/11. It won't make you feel any better.

I woke up from my lone eagle's nest this morning to face the new day and, lo and behold, our beloved whistleblowing ally, Great Britain was attacked! With over 40+ dead and 700+ injured, the spectre of September 11th, 2001 in New York and March 11, 2004 in Madrid, Spain
has given us a dark reminder: to the pro-Bush and the oblivious and frightened masses, "the fight against terror must go on"!! (Bush's Evil Creatins: wink, wink!); to us fighting rebels who know better, "another desperate and disgusting tactic to preserve their power, greed and empire when the poll numbers and the anti-Bush army
are threatening their wretched domain! And all of this happening when
Criminal George, Inc. is in Scotland for the G8 Summit and the XXXth Olympiad was awarded to jolly ole London in 2012; how can this impeccable timing be so prevalent?!? To all my vengeful Americans whom I soar above and protect your independent and rebellious souls from the unwanted tyrany from here and abroad, "DON'T LET THIS TRAGIC EVENT DISTRACT YOU FROM THE GOOD FIGHT THAT LIES AHEAD! BUSH AND HIS CREATINS ARE STILL DESPERATE AND THEY'RE PATHETICALLY SHOWING IT, WHETHER HE'S HERE OR THERE! Our cause must give peace and resolve to our 1,750+ soldiers who were used and abused to their graves, the 100,000+ Iraqis who were illegally victimized, provoked, and murdered after March 19, 2003, and now the 800+ Brits who dearly paid the price one early summer morning because of our knowledge of the Downing Street Memo: NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER SURRENDER!!
Al Queda bombs London subways and buses, so lets invade Mexico, it's a lot closer, they have oil and lots of beautiful undeveloped beaches. I am sure a rational can be made that we are allready being invaded by Mexico, who knows what kinds of WMD they are smuggling in with their soldiers disguised as poor Mexicans looking for work; thats probably what happened to Saddams WNDs. Mexico and Iraq are both oil producers they must have been cooperating. Yesterday Baghdad, today Mexico City, tomorrow Managua, onward christian soldiers.
Had W been prez when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, he would have invaded Mexico in retaliation. Oh... and we would have lost WWII.
He's that stupid.
Impeach Bush.
So much is happening without any meaningful context for us...the website whatdoesitmean.com has some interesting analysis to check out.

The Philippines recorded a budget deficit of P9.9 billion in May, less than half of a government target of P20 billion, the Department of Finance said yesterday.
"Given our cumulative five-month fiscal position, government is confident that we will achieve the full-year deficit target of P202 billion," Finance Secretary Jose Isidro Camacho said in a statement.
The May deficit was narrower than a preliminary May shortfall of P13.5 billion that Camacho had announced last week.
It also brought the government's deficit for the first five months of 2003 to P75.4 billion, 14 percent inside the target of P87.4 billion.
The latest deficit compares with a deficit of P107.5 billion in January-May 2002, accumulated en route to three blow-outs last year that rattled foreign investors already edgy about rebel violence, pervasive corruption and the pace of reforms.
The government – plagued by poor tax collection stemming from inefficiency, corruption and widespread evasion – has racked up fiscal shortfalls in nine of the past 13 years.
The Philippines' target for its deficit ceiling this year is the equivalent to 4.7 percent of gross domestic product. The data so far indicates the numbers are shaping up better than in 2002.
But Fitch Ratings, citing the country's fragile fiscal position, last week downgraded its long-term foreign currency rating on the Philippines to "BB" from "BB-plus" and its long-term local currency rating to "BB-plus" from "BBB-minus".
The Philippines is the largest sovereign debt issuer in Asia, outside of Japan. It has targeted borrowing $2.4 billion offshore this year and still needs to raise around $900 million.
The government has earmarked total foreign and domestic borrowings of around P200 billion this year.

Cincinnati TDI Club
The purpose of the Cincinnati TDI Club is to help owners of this modern diesel learn how to maintain, enhance, preserve, and enjoy their vehicles.
The purpose of the Cincinnati TDI Club is to help owners of this modern diesel learn how to maintain, enhance, preserve, and enjoy their vehicles.
As many of you know, the CinciTDI group assists the TDIClub each year in putting together the TDIFest. This year was to be in St. Louis, Missouri but the planners have encountered issues detailed on the information on the TDIClub Forum and cross-posted below.
For those of you near Columbus, Ohio or enjoying the drive, the 3rd Annual Growler GTG will be June 14th for those wanting to work on or see some TDI friends. Aaron hosts a hands-on oriented GTG, so if you are in need of advice or a second opinion, this is a worthwhile day.
|Saturday June 14, 2014
|12:00 am - 12:00 am (GMT) Greenwich Mean Time - Dublin / Edinburgh / Lisbon / London
|11880 Lancaster St., Millersport, OH 43046
According to the folks at Autoguide, Volkswagen will be following the VW Jetta Sportwagen with Golf SportWagen in 2015 and is teasing us with a diesel variant. The new TDI concept proposes an all-wheel drive 2.0-liter powerplant called the EA288 diesel. This new diesel would offer 10 more horsepower over the current diesel and could come in both a six-speed manual or 6-speed DSG automatic. The 1.8-liter gasoline model is slated to hit dealer showrooms in early 2015 and will be available with LED daytime running lights, Xenon headlights, a panoramic sunroof and 12-way power driver's seat. The larger than a Golf, but smaller Jetta SportWagen could be the ideal car for many Americans who love utility of smaller all-wheel drive SUVs, but want their next car to have improved fuel economy. Volkswagen has not published any MPG numbers for the new concept, but one would think they should be close to VW's other TDIs.
If you are thinking about a new Volkswagen Jetta TDI this year the entry point just got a few dollars cheaper ... thank you Chevrolet Cruze diesel for the competition -- $22,115.
Volkswagen Group of America announced that in 2013 between their VW and Audi nameplates they have sold sold over 100,000 diesel TDI equipped vehicles in the U.S. "That's the highest number of diesels the company has ever sold here in a single year."
For those who missed the 2013 TDIFest in Sunday, Maine, it was a hit. Besides the usual good time and camaraderie, the drive up Mt Washington "looked" to be most interesting. (video from the top of TooRoundTDI's car)
It makes me nervous when major changes are made to Volkswagen's TDI engines, but according to a NYTimes Wheels blog article there are new efficient diesel power plants planned for Golf, Beetle, Passat and Jetta models next year. A few years the Pumpe Düse unit injector PD engine displace VW's ALH motor which was one of the more reliable engines and then not too long after another common rail and emission change was made. What were suppose to be improvements each time had many customers complaining and facing some very expensive repairs (not to mention the hassles of having their relatively new cars serviced). I'm not sure where the status of those issues are today, but I always worry about design flaws and the normal black-eye producing bugs that show up when drastic changes are made to engines.
Volkswagen announced Tuesday that its EA288 TDI Clean Diesel engine would be available in the 2015 Golf, Beetle, Passat and Jetta models, which were scheduled to go on sale in the United States during the second half of 2014.
Check out the map (thanks bhtooefr) and don't miss TDIFest2013 in Maine.
TDIFest 2013 is just over a month away and promises to be filled with fun and excitement! This year's TDIFest is located in Newry, Maine and will be centered around the Sunday River Resort's Grand Summit Hotel on Labor Day weekend (August 30th - September 1st). Find out more at http://wiki.tdifest.com, register at http://reg.tdifest.com, and reserve your hotel room by calling 800-207-2365 (group code 85b22m) by August 9th to take advantage of our great group rates. Please note that late TDIFest 2013 registration rates go into effective August 1st so register early and save!
Kick off the weekend with our fabulous New England cookout (meet-n-greet) on Friday evening. Saturday will feature breakfast with a guest speaker, show & shine, and several technical sessions. Saturday evening will feature a group drive and dinner on your own at one of the great restaurants in downtown Bethel. Sunday offers the raffle drawing and additional technical sessions. Sunday evening gives you time to explore the mountain, ride the ski lift, and end up at the Peak Lodge for our awards banquet and live auction.
Both Saturday and Sunday will have vendor displays in the parking lot. This is a great opportunity to get to know the vendors and purchase items that you might need for your TDI. Many vendors have already graciously donated some products that will be auctioned off at the banquet, with the proceeds helping to fund TDIClub for another year. If you are a vendor and wish to donate some products, please contact us at [email protected] and we will be able to give you further information.

John Harrison has not yet completed a whole day in his new job, but he is already clearly at ease. The local government lawyer who scooped one of The Lawyer awards this year has made a leap into private practice and, after less than nine hours, he sits comfortably in the boardroom at Sharpe Pritchard.
His relaxed state is not surprising. While working at Southwark Borough Council, Harrison had a close relationship with private practice, and he will continue to deal with the planning-related work in which he has made his name.
He led the borough's team which won this year's Deal of the Year at the Lawyer Awards for work on the Millennium Bridge project, the planned pedestrian bridge over the River Thames.
It is believed he will also continue to act for Southwark on the high-profile Greater London Authority headquarters building, part of the u1bn development at London Bridge City.
Harrison's move is seen as a symptom of the ever-closer working relationships between private practice and in-house legal teams at local authorities – part of the rapidly-changing landscape Harrison sees in local government law.
"Local government legal services are undergoing enormous changes as we enter the new millennium," he says. "One of which is a broader movement towards partnership. Local government is being forced to extend all sorts of relationships to a whole range of new partners."
It is legislative changes brought in by the Labour government which have rocked the market in public law. The abolition of compulsory competitive tendering (CCT), which required local authorities to put out to tender a proportion of their legal services, will be completed on 2 January next year.
The new system of "best value" allows the authorities to look for a combination of quality and price from their external legal advisers.
"Local authorities will be back in control of the process," says Peter Keith-Lucas, local government partner at Wragge & Co, which recently signed a partnership contract with Buckinghamshire County Council. "Best value opens the door for much more constructive relationships between private practice and the local authorities," he says.
"The authorities will be able to look for a combination of services which will serve them best, instead of having to go for the cheapest.
"CCT meant firms had to expose a significant number of their own legal staff to competition, and it was biased against the in-house team.
"It put local authority legal teams under unfair pressure, and damaged the relationship with external lawyers because in-house teams were concerned not to disclose information which might give away a competitive advantage," Keith-Lucas says.
Harrison sees the shift to best value as an exciting development for all concerned.
"CCT placed undue emphasis on cost and inadequate emphasis on the quality of legal services," he says. "What local government is discovering now is that the processes by which you select a lawyer can't easily be set out."
The new challenge for private practice will be coming up with that little bit extra, Harrison says.
"If firms are going to get the work from the public sector, they are going to be called on to offer extra value. Local government is looking for add-on services from their lawyers, like lecturing, tracking new legislation and sharing research," he says.
That is the kind of relationship Wragge & Co has agreed with Buckinghamshire. "The council in-house team has a good range of specific local government skills, but cannot offer the range of skills and resources we can," says Keith-Lucas.
"Buckinghamshire has a legal executive who will soon be coming on secondment to us for six months. They will gain from our commercial experience while we will benefit from their more specific knowledge.
"We are both learning all the time," he adds.
Similar formal agreements exist between Nabarro Nathanson and the London Borough of Lewisham, and between Eversheds and Lancashire and Nottinghamshire county councils.
In addition to the exchange of knowledge, Harrison identifies the obvious economies of scale such close relationships lead to.
"We are not having to ask the same questions over and over again," he says. "We get to know each other very well and a comfortable momentum is built up.
"The partnership ethos is going to become more and more prevalent. To quote our friends in Europe, it's a story of 'ever-closer union'," he says.
Alongside the significant legislative changes – which as well as the shift to best value include what Harrison calls "a very significant policy review on almost all fronts" – there is also a move to make local authorities take on the role of facilitators.
"The old way of working was to operate by means of negative regulation, like refusing planning permission for bad developments," says Harrison.
"Now the local authorities are being much more pro-active. There is a growing recognition that by bringing together a variety of interests authorities can harness better results."
As a result, councils are being asked to come up with new ways of doing things and are becoming more involved in contractual work between parties, says Harrison.
"That means the public authorities are looking to lawyers who will look for solutions and come up with innovative ideas," he says.
"They are looking for private practice firms who will take on new roles, and are getting them involved at a much earlier stage. The public sector is being a lot more selective about firms they are choosing, and are getting increasingly rigorous in their decision making," he says.
Ashley Badcock, senior partner at Sharpe Pritchard, says: "The public sector is in a much better position now than it was 10 years ago to make an informed choice about their legal service provider.
"Many have had experience of a range of firms under CCT, and now they can draw on that when selecting firms to work with," he says.
The next challenge Harrison and his public law colleagues in London will face is the arrival of the Greater London Authority (GLA). The new mayor will take office next year and bring changes to legal relationships within the capital.
Tony Curnow, head of the public sector practice at Ashurst Morris Crisp, believes the new level of bureaucracy could mean plenty more work for lawyers.
"The two-tier system is inevitably going to be a cause for conflict," he says. "Lawyers in the boroughs are going to be asked to review more regularly the decisions taken by the GLA, and lawyers in the GLA will looking closer at things done at borough level.
"There will probably be some difficult skirmishes on the rightness or wrongness of decisions."
Curnow expects the GLA to recruit a significant in-house legal department of its own. "The old GLC legal team was a fairly formidable size," he says. "There will inevitably be quite a chunky legal team put in place at the GLA.
"They will be looking to recruit some good lawyers from the boroughs, so there will be an explosion of job opportunities for lawyers."
Harrison is not so openly optimistic. "It is too early to say whether it will mean more work," he says. "But it is likely to bring about changes in the way things are done.
"It will probably mean a period of greater dynamic change."

What is in this article?:
- The Target Driven Distributor
- Fighting Pushback and Building a Culture
We Americans continue to feel the influence and inspiration of the profound words of our forefathers. Thomas Jefferson declared, "All men are created equal." Ben Franklin, writing as Poor Richard, praised the virtues of hard work and equal treatment for rich and poor. Our culture and earliest remembrances, played out in dozens of The Waltons episodes, Hallmark specials and Horatio Algeresque dramas, reinforce the ideal of fair and equal treatment.
With this cultural background, is it any wonder so many salespeople burn their time servicing customers with little or no payback? To drive home just how pervasive this equal treatment for all ideals loom, allow me to relate a story. In distributors around the country, salespeople argue for technical support for customers lacking the potential to ever repay the investment costs of this precious commodity. And pricing process expert David Bauders of Strategic Pricing Associates demonstrates how tiny customers are given the same pricing level as the biggest guy in town – because a counterperson didn't want to overcharge a nice guy. Equality for all personified.
Without the right training, it can happen to anyone. True confession: as an energetic young sales guy, I found myself torn as I decided to purposely focus my time and attention on high performance customers at the expense of nice guys with a limited pocketbook.
What do these waxings on American philosophy have to do with sales? Everything. To reach our full potential, we must understand all customers are not created equal. Further, recognizing and channeling our efforts to high potential clients makes a major difference to our business.
As our new century marches forward, I believe it is critical that distributors prioritize their resources – be it money, time or marketing efforts toward customers with the payback. In the past, financial analysis of distributor industry customer lists indicated 20 percent of our customers deliver 200 percent of our bottom-line profits. How can this be? The model points out that the next 50 percent of our customers are break-even at best, and the final 30 percent actually drains our bank account. By identifying the traits of our most profitable customers and searching out more business with similar characteristics, we build fatter wallets and better businesses.
In years gone by, sales managers directed their teams to focus on high volume accounts, but this dimensional approach rarely produced the results anticipated. While big numbers are cool, big does not necessarily equate to profitable. To move forward as an industry, wholesalers must identify profitable accounts with business behavior and value needs meshing closely with their own. Further, distributors should actively seek ways to focus their resources in a way that creates the biggest bang for the buck. Maximizing the efficiency of our efforts marches at the vanguard of business process, with efficiency pushed down to the lowest product selling level.
We call this focusing of efforts targeting. We call it targeting because we are directing the efforts of our organization in a well-defined and measurable direction. Like the process of aiming an arrow, we think before we unleash the energy of the arrow. Targeting is measured as we place measures around our activities and coach our team in their efforts to hit the bull's eye, paying close attention to near misses in the same manner as a Marine rifle instructor teaches a young recruit to become a shooting expert. As business owners and sales managers, we improve the accuracy of our team by coaching sequential iterations of the process.
Today we'll spend the next four minutes thinking about targeting in one aspect of our sales process. (Keep in mind that targeting, in fact, extends into many areas of our business.)
In the world of sales, we have defined targeting in three categories: Product Targeting, Solution Targeting and Strategic Company Targeting. Product targeting is the first foundational block in laying out a target process. It's relatively easy to implement. Establishing product targeting lays out a cultural tenet for distributors' sales team. Planning and thinking about sales calls before their execution sounds basic, but experience indicates the vast majority of distributors' selling teams still do not follow this practice.
Introducing Product Targeting
In product targeting, we ask salespeople to identify the low hanging fruit for specific products from their line cart. Instead of taking a new product to all of their accounts (which rarely happens anyway), they're asked to identify the five companies most likely to purchase the product soon after its introduction. Let's use a hypothetical example.
One of your supply partners introduces a great new underwater air-conditioning system (I know there's no such thing, but bear with me). Obviously, this product isn't for everyone. You immediately eliminate customers providing solutions in arid applications. Instead, you create a quick list. The targeting process calls for each salesperson to think of and list the five (or so) customers who might achieve the greatest value from the product.
As the accounts are listed, the sales manager is afforded the opportunity to provide coaching in the selection of the five customers on the list. Does the customer have a real need? Which person at the customer's business would be most interested in the product?
It is expected that salespeople will move the customer from identified target to a measurable outcome in less than six months. Again, coaching moments become evident as the manager discusses the progress of the salesperson in working toward the final goal. Things like sales call activities, presentations, scheduled customer visits and use of resources (like specialists, supply partner sales team) are discussed.
The time metric allows the sales manager to accelerate the overall sales cycle. There is a value in knowing long-term results. Selling is an emotion driven endeavor. Often, salespeople miss out by not fully identifying their individual strengths and weaknesses. Most cannot tell you what works for them and what doesn't because they rarely track customer-specific sales strategies. Measuring a long-term success ratio allows the manager to identify products where the seller is inherently skilled. As an example, think of a salesperson who does very well with switchgear products but poorly with motor controls. Armed with historical data, the manager can suggest new techniques, provide additional product training or reassign accounts to place the seller into accounts matching their strengths.

Churches in Asker
Asker has five churches, all with different styles and characters for you to explore.
Asker church
The original Asker church was from the 12th century, but burned down in 1878. In 1879 the new Asker church was built in bricks in the same place as the old was standing. Next to the church are several several burial mounds from the Iron Age.
Asker church (the picture above) is located close to Skaugum, where Crown Prince Haakon Magnus and Crown Princess Mette-Marit live with their children. The Royal family often comes to this church, and outside the church is a statue of Princess Märtha Louise.
Heggedal Church
In Heggedal there is a wooden church from 1931, raised with private fundings. The church is exactly as when it was built, except that it has been painted in later years.
The building used to be a chapel before it became Heggedal church. It has 165 seats and the architect is Fritz Holland.
Holmen church
Holmen church was built in 1965 in Slependen in Asker. It is made of concrete and is construated in a square shape.
The architect, Knut Knutsen, won an architect competition about this church in 1958. The church is located on a small hill, and the area around the church is popular for sledding in the winter.
Østenstad Church
In 1980 Østenstad church was built in Blakstad in Asker. Before that, the people living in this area of Asker had struggled to get their own church for many years.The grace yard was finished in 2008.
There is a nice view over Vettre and the Oslo fjord from the top where the church is located.
Vardåsen church
Vardåsen is the newest church in Asker, built in 2004 as a combined church and kindergarden. It is made in concrete with light bricks on the outside.
Vardåsen church was awarded with the Concrete Board (Betongtavlen) by the Norwegian Concrete association and Architects Association, saying that the concrete was used in an environmental, esthetic and outstanding way.

As he attempts to find his spot in the Wests Tigers side, rookie five-eighth Curtis Sironen says he'll only be as dominant as he wants to be.
After a quiet return from minor knee surgery in last week's loss to Canterbury, Sironen was far more involved in Saturday night's 26-18 win over Penrith, including a clever inside ball to set up Chris Lawrence's first-half try.
It was part of a concerted effort by both the 18-year-old and Tigers coach Tim Sheens to get the playmaker more touches, Sheens knowing the importance of having a third option behind key duo Benji Marshall and Robbie Farah.
"I didn't get that many touches last week, I was a bit disappointed so I was trying to get involved early," Sironen told AAP.
"Chrisy called for the ball, I just popped it up and he went through.
"He (Sheens) showed a lot of confidence in me and I wanted to repay him a bit."
But making an impact in a team which features Marshall and Farah as the primary ball-handlers can be difficult, especially for a teenager with just five top-grade games to his name.
Sironen though says he has to get the ball more for the good of the team, even if it means calling over the top of the two men inside him.
"We talked about it during the week - if I'm not dominant I won't get the ball," Sironen said.
"It's up to me really as to how dominant I am, how many touches I get."
One man who won't be getting many touches any time soon is prop Keith Galloway, who will miss three games with an AC injury to his left shoulder.
The Tigers are however expected to get back representative duo Adam Blair and Gareth Ellis from suspension for next week's match against fellow top-eight outfit North Queensland.

Close Reading: Real Preparation for Multiple-Choice Tests
Close Reading: Real Preparation for Multiple-Choice Tests
by Jane Schaffer
San Diego, California
Taking a Different Tack
For some years, the English Vertical Team at my school has been concerned about our students' multiple-choice scores on AP Exams and other reading assessments. We were giving practice sets from previous AP Exams, but we didn't see much growth. We decided to take a different tack and began doing focused close reading assignments, asking open-ended reading questions that required sophisticated textual analysis.
At first, we looked at published materials designed for higher-order reading skills, but we found little on the market that suited our purposes. So, we wrote our own. Commercially available lessons asked, "What do you think was going on in Jack's head in
Lord of the Flies
when he looked at his reflection?" We wanted more analysis of the writer's choices and the kind of effect those choices created, so we deepened the question by asking, "When Jack looks at his reflection first in the pool and later in the coconut shell, what kind of light appears in the shell that wasn't present in the pool? What effect does Golding create here, and why does he create it?" The idea worked. Born from frustration, our approach to reading instruction can be used by any AP teacher.
We follow several steps in producing close reading exercises:
First, we identify key passages from the assigned reading. Shorter passages are more successful than longer ones.
Second, we write close reading questions for them, borrowing from AP multiple-choice stems, and assign them in class. We have learned that generic reading prompts asking about sequence or inference, for example, do not elicit higher order analysis. We write text-specific questions that require students to search the story for the information. "What is the main idea of the first paragraph?" is not nearly as effective as "How does Hawthorne describe the throng in the prison scene, and how does this description tell you his attitude toward the group?" If students can answer without looking back at the book, then we have written a study question, good in its own right, but not a close reading one. Students often must read a passage two or three times. They balk at this -- "We already read that page!" -- but they need to learn that good readers often reread challenging texts.
Third, we revise our question sets based on feedback from the class. They always show us what we need to clarify and polish.
Writing Your Own Assignments
The best way to write close reading assignments is to work as a group with colleagues who teach the same literature. Our most productive session was a release day where five of us went off-campus to work. The synergy led us to questions that none would have thought of alone. Even working together, we realized how difficult it was to phrase the questions correctly to help our students achieve a greater understanding of the piece.
When students begin a close reading exercise, they annotate the passage and make observations in the margins. They have little experience in doing this, so we model the process for them. If duplicating is an issue at your school, it needs to be solved. Students have to have their own copies of materials to mark.
Sometimes we use a passage before starting the book. For example, at the beginning of
The Scarlet Letter
, we read the prison door scene to establish theme and tone. At other times, we might return to a selection that the class read several days before or assign the same excerpt twice to focus on an author's narrative technique. The only recommendation we have is that you not assign two or three days' worth in a row. Analyzing a passage is an intense process, one that students don't sustain well day after day. We average three to five excerpts per novel or play, fewer with short stories or essays. Poetry is an exception; by its very nature, it demands many questions. At first, we work as a class, then in pairs or small groups, and finally as independent work.
Our multiple-choice averages have moved up steadily over the last few years. By AP Exam time, our students are well versed in good reading skills and much more confident about handling the challenge of the multiple-choice section on any AP Exam.
Jane Schaffer taught AP English for 24 years in San Diego and served as an AP reader for 12 years. She retired recently in order to focus on teacher training full-time. She has published several articles about teaching English, including "Peer Response That Works" in the
Journal of Teaching Writing
, 1996; "Strategies for Critical Reading in English" in
Making Sense: Teaching Critical Reading Across the Curriculum
, 1993; and "Improving Discussion Questions: Is Anyone Listening?" in the
English Journal
, April 1989.

Empirical Performance of the Constant Elasticity Variance Option Pricing Model
In this essay, we empirically test the Constant–Elasticity-of-Variance (CEV) option pricing model by Cox (1975, 1996) and Cox and Ross (1976), and compare the performances of the CEV and alternative option pricing models, mainly the stochastic volatility model, in terms of European option pricing and cost-accuracy based analysis of their numerical procedures.In European-style option pricing, we have tested the empirical pricing performance of the CEV model and compared the results with those by Bakshi et al. (1997). The CEV model, introducing only one more parameter compared with Black-Scholes formula, improves the performance notably in all of the tests of in-sample, out-of-sample and the stability of implied volatility. Furthermore, with a much simpler model, the CEV model can still perform better than the stochastic volatility model in short term and out-of-the-money categories. When applied to American option pricing, high-dimensional lattice models are prohibitively expensive. Our numerical experiments clearly show that the CEV model performs much better in terms of the speed of convergence to its closed form solution, while the implementation cost of the stochastic volatility model is too high and practically infeasible for empirical work.In summary, with a much less implementation cost and faster computational speed, the CEV option pricing model could be a better candidate than more complex option pricing models, especially when one wants to apply the CEV process for pricing more complicated path-dependent options or credit risk models.

In the time of harvest bounty my mind naturally turns to stuffing! I have no idea why, there are so many massive vegetables everywhere that it seems like the logical thing to do, they look so cool served whole and are far, far more interesting when stuffed with something uber delicious like fresh sweetcorn, toasted walnuts and some nutty red rice.
Most cultures love a good stuffing, I read recently that in the Middle East they actually have machines to carve holes in carrots etc, you can buy pre-hollowed vegetables at the market in bags. Now that's spoiling all the fun (or is it?!) I am not very good with DIY, the thought of getting the Black and Decker out to carve a carrot sets alarm bells ringing. Do I love stuffing that much?
Everything is going a very courgette at the moment! They are everywhere and this is a fine way to use up the wonder glut of this delicate immature fruit. This particular beast is of the golden/ yellow variety and was over a foot long. (This post was written a month ago when courgettes were really hanging out there, now they have finished their shenanigans for another year. Mores the pity. Bring on the roots!)
In fact, the best thing that can happened to a courgette is a good stuffing. Its not every vegetable you can say that about, but a courgette is at it finest full of filling other than its own, it has to be said, watery, slightly mushy interior. Here we have replaced it with red camarague rice, walnuts, sweetcorn and many other forms of ultra deliciousness. A stuffing to be proud of!
I also like to cut courgettes thin length ways and salt them for a while, then use them as a base for an endless number of bakes and gratins. You can pack alot of courgettes into one of these dishes and the dense nature of a well baked gratin is a wonderful way to serve this normally gentle and light veg. Having said that, simply fried with garlic and olive oil, there's another real winner.
Courgettes are allegedly easy to cultivate, but we don't get the heat up here on the hill. We also get wind, which tends to knock them down. We get ours from Trigonos, a small organic farm and retreat centre just over the hill in the next valley, Nantlle. I am very lucky to work there at the moment and play with all the produce from the fertile land near the lake. See here, its a magic place,
Jane is going away a lot recently (attending many interesting workshops) and we are making the very most of our short times together. Today has been a rare early autumnal day, fresh this morning, warm in the day and a beautiful sunset, the perfect day for al fresco dining with some bubbles and twilight all around.
We sat on our bench near the stone circle and wolfed these delicious courgette treats with lashings of Russian chard and beetroot leaves. It is that wonderful time of year when everything seems to be coming out to play (on the plate) and we are inundated with beautiful produce. The only problem is, what to do with it all? Our veg basket is brimming over and the freezer is filling nicely, anybody fancy coming over for dinner? We feel like gluttons, but are still smiling.
One of my favourite things to do at this time of year is berry picking. How cool is that! All these free berries sprouting from hedgerows and footpaths. Leave the berries near railways alone, they use a weed killer-type train to kill all the plants around the railways meaning these berries will be contaminated. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news (again!)
The elderberries on our hill are nearly ready and we fancy making some wine this time around, I have a recipe up my sleeve. The thought of homemade elderberry wine makes us both whoop, and we haven't even drank any yet!
I have chopped this big boy up, but you could just half it lengthways and add the filling. This dish is like a vegetarian roast turkey, quite a centre piece for any table. We have kept it vegan here, but cheese added to the mix or sprinkled on just before the final roast would be a magical addition, a cheese with a bit of punch to stand up to the big flavours, a mature cheddar or pecorino.
If you can't get your hands on giant courgettes, normal size ones are fine, but a little more fiddly. They will also cook quicker, take 5-10 minutes off the final roasting time.
This recipe will make a little too much stuffing, but its great cold as a salad or maybe find another vegetable to stuff. Tomato? How about an apple?
Other things we've done with courgettes:
Golden Courgette and Basil Au Gratin
Stuffed Courgette with Hazelnut and Peach
The Bits
1 giant courgette (yellow, green……), 1 1/2 cup cooked camarague rice (or rice of your choice), 1 handful of chopped and toasted walnuts, 1/2 handful of sunflower seeds (roasted is best), 1 small onion, 1 small carrot, 1 medium potato (all three finely diced), 1 corn on the cob (kernels off the cob), 4 cloves garlic (crushed), 8 cherry tomatoes (quatered, or one normal sized tomato), 1 tbs tomato puree, 1 teas dried dill, 1/2 teas dried mint, 1/2 teas dried thyme, 1 teas all spice, 1/2 cup veg stock, 1/2 cup raisins (finely chopped)
Do It
Cook your rice (as you like or follow packet instructions)
Preheat and oven 200oC
Warm a griddle pan (not necessary, but looks pretty). Start by chopping your courgette into interesting shapes with flat bottoms, so they sit up on the roasting tray. We have gone for bishops, maybe you'd like a crown, or just a flat top?
Rub them with oil, use your hands and pop them on a griddle pan, presentation side first. Leave to char up for around 5 minutes. Be sure not to move them and you'll get nicely defined scorch marks. Then into the oven for a 10 minute pre-roast.
Why this is going on, get your prep ready for the filling.
In a large frying pan, warm 1 tbs olive oil on med/ high heat and add the onion, saute for five minutes until going golden, then add your corn and carrot, stir and heat for three minutes then add your potatoes and garlic, saute for a further three minutes then add your herbs and spices. Stir well, so not allow any bottom sticking. Add tomatoes and stock. Add 1 tbs of water if the heat is too high and things are getting stuck to the bottom.
Now add your seeds, nuts and cooked rice. Bring to a boil, add a glug of good olive oil, give it a final stir and pop a lid on it. Turn heat off and leave to settle for ten minutes.
Your courgettes should now be ready. Grab them out of the oven and set aside for a moment to cool just a little.
Get a reasonable spoon (dessert) and begin to spoon your hot mixture into to courgettes, packing it down as you go, filling every possible space with tasty filling.
Now pop them back into the oven for a fifteen minute blast and after that the courgette should be softened and the filling piping hot and ready to devour.
We sprinkled ours with a few more toasted walnuts, some wilted chard, beetroot leaves and good olive oil. We would also recommend a nice tangy tomato based sauce or chutney. Although these densely packed courgettes are meals in themselves and need little else on the plate to satisfy.
We Love It!
A real decadent dinner treat here, fit for special occasions and Tuesday nights after work. It does take little preparation but the combinations of textures and flavours are worth the modest toil. Get golden courgettes if you can, if they aren't in the shops, hit your local farm and flutter your eyelids a little (always works for me).
Foodie Fact
Technically courgettes are an immature fruit (which sounds alot like a good friend of ours) and can grow to over a metre long.
Golden/ Yellow courgettes are not only very cool to look at they are also have a higher carotene content than your average green courgettes, they are also good for vitamin C and A with plenty of potassium to boot.
Brit disclaimer – What we repeatedly refer to as a courgette in this post may be known to some of you as a zucchini. We at the Beach House Kitchen mean no offense in the flagrant use of our British-ness and actually prefer the name Zucchini, it sounds like fun and has a 'Z' in it, which is always very cool in our world. Maybe we can all just call them Zuch-ettes and bridge our islands vocab gap. Just to add greater confusion to the mix in South Africa they call these beauts baby marrow.

Hailee Steinfeld wowed us with her bold lipstick choice at the 2013 CFDA Awards. The actress may be young, but it's clear she's got great beauty instincts. We show you how to get a pretty orange pout just like Hailee below!
Hailee Steinfeld really made on impression when she hit the red carpet of the CFDA Awards in New York City on June 3. The actress's bold orange lip was the centerpiece of her simple yet elegant look. We'll show you exactly how to rock a bright lipstick for any and every occasion with the perfect product below.
Hailee Steinfeld At The CFDA Awards — Ger Her Bright Orange Lipstick
A bold lip like Hailee's may seem hard to pull off, but it's actually much easier than it looks. Start off by making sure to use the right type of lipstick. Because a bright lip attracts attention, you want to make sure that the lipstick you choose is hydrating — the last thing you want is for all eyes to be on your chapped, flaky lips. For this reason, we love Maybelline Color Whisper in Orange Attitude. Not only does this lipstick hydrate, it also dries to a gel-like finish to ensure that your lipstick color won't fade as the night wears on.
To really get Hailee's look, keep your the rest of your hair and makeup simple. After all, the bold lip is meant to be the focal point of your ensemble. Hailee opted to wear just a basic gray eyeshadow and a pale peony blush. Her hair looked ultra-sleek, as she parted it straight down the middle and wore it bone-straight.
Hailee & Douglas Booth At The CFDA Awards
Hailee didn't arrive to the CFDA Awards alone — the 16-year-old was accompanied by her Romeo and Juliet co-star, Douglas Booth. The two star in a remake of William Shakespeare's classic tale of star-crossed lovers, due out later this year.
Tell us HollywoodLifers, do you love Hailee's orange lipstick as much as we do?
— Sarah Hopkins

Lisa Simone Kelly, the only child of the late singer Nina Simone, is in the hot seat. The California Attorney General is accusing her of stealing more than $2 million from her mother's estate, money that was specifically earmarked to help build schools in impoverished communties in South Africa, Liberia and Ghana.
TMZ broke the news late last week:
The A.G. claims the most flagrant violation is funneling $1.5 mil to Lisa's personal company ... something her mom never approved.
We've learned the A.G. pressured Lisa into resigning as trustee and is now demanding an accounting of funds -- which could result in criminal action.
Kelly, who's also a singer, has publicly been very protective of her mother's legacy and image. She made news earlier this year when she addressed the controversy surrounding the lighter skinned Zoe Saldana's casting in an upcoming Nina Simone biopic. Obviously, details in this story are still pending.
