I went to the dermatologist for the first time in my life last week...At the ripe old age of 42, I thought it was about time. I decided it was time to go for several reasons:
- Living in Florida and understanding the seriousness of skin cancer, I thought it was important to have a full body check by a qualified dermatologist.
- I have a mild case of rosacea, but I've been told that the condition often gets worse with age.
- I never seemed to outgrow getting acne, and I figured there must be something better than over the counter stuff.
- I also have what I thought were sun or age spots, but the dermatologist actually said they were probably related to hormones.
- And of course, I was wondering if there was some way to help my skin age more gracefully.
Even though none of my skin problems were very serious, together they were beginning to bother me. Since I had insurance that covered most of the cost of going to a dermatologist, I decided to make the appointment. And I'm really glad I did.
It turns out that at this time I don't have any suspicious signs of skin cancer, and my other problems can apparently all be helped with a prescription for Retin-A Micro Gel 0.10%.
From Jolie Nadine - Beauty Tip: Using Retin-A Without Dryness...
Retin-A is beauty's closest thing to a miracle product: it clears up breakouts, softens and smooths skin, and is one of the only things on the market (short of Botox, fillers or plastic surgery) that will truly, visibly remove lines and wrinkles and make you look younger.
But it wouldn't be as easy as just going to my local pharmacy and getting my prescription for Retin-A filled. Surprise, surprise...It wasn't covered by my prescription plan. I called around, and the three pharmacies I checked in my area all charged over $200 to get the Retin-A Micro Gel, and only slightly less for the generic (Tretinoin).
Since there was no way I could afford to pay that kind of money, I decided to Google Retin-A and see if I could find it for a better price. What I found were a bunch of Canadian pharmacies offering it for about $50...still expensive, but doable.
I wasn't sure about ordering from one of these Canadian pharmacies, but after I called NorthWestPharmacy and was assured that I would be getting the exact product offered at my local pharmacy, I decided to give it a try. A week later I received my Retin-A Micro Gel from Canada, and sure enough, it is exactly what I ordered.
Even though I just got the prescription today, I have been using samples from the doctor ever since my visit last Monday. And just in this short amount of time, I am noticing my acne beginning to clear up.
But it's not a perfect solution...Retin-A is very drying and there is a prodocal to follow if you want to minimize irritation.
Jen Hill from MythBuster Beauty explains how to use Retin A...
In the PM, after cleansing and allowing your skin to dry, dab a pea-sized amount around face (a little bit goes a long way and this is strong stuff)! You can then proceed with your moisturizer. You should only use this every other night until your skin adjusts to the retin-A (which will take a few weeks), then gradually build up to using it every night. If you notice peeling or irritation, stop using Retin-A for a few days.
If you are using any creams or lotions containing peptides, specifically copper peptides, you will not want to use a retinoid, AHA, or vitamin C cream within 2 hours of use, or rotate using one every other day. I am not a chemist either, but I have read that the copper peptides are not effective if combined with these acidic ingredients.
And most importantly you will need to take particular precautions to protect your skin during the day while using Retin-A. Wear a hat, use sunscreen, and avoiding going outside during the peak sun hours.
BlogHer contributing editor Susan Wagner has written many great posts on skin care and her use of Retin-A. Check out How to Talk to Your Dermatologist and How to be hott at 40...
Wear sunscreen every day, and visit the dermatologist; even if you're not interested in any of the extreme treatments for older skin, like Botox, there are topical treatments that will help your skin renew itself faster and keep the lines at bay. I'm using a Retin A cream, in combination with a topical antibiotic, and my skin looks better than it ever has.
Finally, don't be afraid to look your age -- there's nothing wrong with being 40 (or 50 or 60 or ...). When you try too hard to look younger, you only wind up looking -- and feeling -- older.
Susan also wrote Noncomedogenic Makeup...
Back to the dermatologist. Again. Guess what he told me? I needed to use only products clearly labeled noncomedogenic! Because anything else would clog my pores! and make me break out! And then both he and his nurse sang the praises of all things Neutrogena.
(I love Neutrogena, I really do -- and these days, I'm especially loving the part where I can buy it all at CVS and still have money left over for a latte.)
These days, I'm combining prescription treatments (a topical antibiotic to control bacteria and a topical Retin A gel to exfoliate) with drugstore and department store makeup counter finds. i use Neutrogena's Fresh Foaming Cleanser morning and night; for day, I wear either Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock (SPF 45 and helioplex, for extra protection) or the Oil Free Fresh Moisturizer (super light and great under makeup). My foundation is Prescriptives Flawless Skin, which offers light coverage without blocking my pores.
Did you know that sugar can cause wrinkles?
From SAHM - Answers - GASP! Sugar Causes Wrinkles...
How Do I Reverse AGE Damage?
1) Cut back on sugary and starchy foods. This will slow the glycation process. (Remember, everything in moderation.)
2) Incorporate antioxidants into your diet. Tomatoes, greens, pomegranates, red grapes and countless other fruits and veggies help fight free radicals caused by sun exposure.
3) Increase collagen production. Using prescription retinoids such as Tazorac, Retin-A or Differin can successfully boost collagen production and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

BlogHer SammiJo wrote...
It kills me when I hear "retinol products aren't really necessary" from skin consultants (I won't mention names). About 6 months ago, I was shopping with my sister, who is one year older than I and completely clueless to proper skin care. We went into a self-titled skin/beauty store to pick up an antioxidant for her. The skin consultants, both in their mid-twenties, had the gull to say that retinol products aren't really necessary. Not really necessary….blasphemy! I am sorry, I couldn't resist…I had to pick a fight. I spit more facts out of my mouth in less than 30 seconds to send these girls' heads spinning. The moral here, your dermatologist knows best.
This is from another post at MythBuster Beauty...
"I used Retinoids in my 40's – they are great – but insurance companies are extremely hesitant to cover the prescription products (Retin A comes to mind), which from my experience, give the best results. Stupid insurance companies."
No kidding! A container of Retin-A can run almost $100 bucks! It will last a long time though. I am still working on the same tube I started 7 months ago, and I have noticed some great improvements while using it consistently. These benefits have been clearer, more even, and firmer skin.

Anzeigen von Benchmarks in Umfrageergebnissen
Benchmarks give context to your survey results by allowing you to compare your results to others who used the same Question Bank questions as you. Benchmarks appear in your survey results if at least one Question Bank question you used has a benchmark.
To benchmark your survey results:
- Create a benchmarkable survey.
- Send your survey.
- Go to the Analyze Results section of your survey. You'll see a BENCHMARKS menu in the left sidebar.
- If you haven't completed your profile yet, click Complete Profile at the top of the page. You need to complete your profile before you can view benchmarks.
- Browse the questions in your survey for the benchmark icon.
|The benchmark icon indicates whether a question is benchmarkable. Look for the benchmark icon in the upper-left corner of a question when analyzing your results.
Showing Benchmarks
You can view benchmarks in the Analyze Results section of any of your surveys in which you used benchmarkable questions.
If you're part of a team, you can view benchmarks for any surveys shared with you, if the survey owner can view benchmarks. You don't need to complete your profile to view benchmarks on surveys shared with you.
|Show Benchmark
|Click Show Benchmark above the question chart to compare your results against the benchmark available for that individual question.
|Hide Benchmark
|Click Hide Benchmark to show your results for the question without the benchmark included.
|Show or Hide All
|Click the black down arrow to the right of the benchmark button to reveal the option to show or hide benchmarks for all questions at once.
|Show Top 25%
|Available when you buy benchmarks. Click the black down arrow to the right of a benchmark in the left sidebar to add a view that includes only the organizations whose results are in the top 25% of the benchmark.
Why can't I see benchmarks?
In the following cases, you might not be able to view benchmarks or you may see a display warning:
- If you're the survey owner, you can't show benchmarks if you've opted out of benchmarks or if you haven't completed your profile.
- You won't be able to see a benchmark if you changed the question type or edited the number of answer options for the question.
- You can still see a benchmark if you edited the question text. However, your comparisons might not be valid for benchmarks since your questions may have been interpreted differently by your respondents than by others who saw the questions as they were originally written.
- To preserve anonymity and to provide accurate comparisons, we have requirements on how much benchmark data we need in order to display benchmarks for a particular question. We're working hard to make sure that we have coverage in all of the questions we offer benchmarking. You can hide the benchmark for that question to see your results instead.
Analyzing Your Results
After showing benchmarks, click Chart Type above a benchmarkable question to choose your preferred chart type.
|Chart Type
|A horizontal or vertical bar chart that gives you a side-by-side comparison of your results for each answer choice against the results for each answer choice in the benchmark.
|A box plot of the weighted average for a particular question against the quartiles of benchmark.
|A gauge chart specific to the NPS question that compares your NPS against the NPS and quartiles of the benchmark.
|A skinny donut chart specific to the Top 2 Box Score.
|A horizontal or vertical bar chart specific to the Top 2 Box Score.
The box-and-whiskers plot and the gauge chart display quartiles of the benchmark. Knowing which quartiles you fall between allows you to better understand where you stand in comparison to the organizations included in the benchmark.
|The lowest score in the benchmark.
|Lower Quartile
|75% of organizations have scores that are higher than this number
|50% of organizations have scores that are higher than this number
|Upper Quartile
|25% of organizations have scores that are higher than this number
|The highest score in the benchmark
Top 2 Box Score is the percentage of respondents who selected one of the top two answer options for a question.
For any eligible question, you'll see the percentage of your respondents who chose the top two answers compared to the percentage of respondents in the benchmark who chose the top two answers—so you can easily benchmark yourself against leaders in your industry.
To use Top 2 Box Score:
- Show benchmarks.
- In the upper-right corner of the question, click Chart Type.
- Choose one of the Top 2 Box Score charts.
- Click Save.
The Top 2 Box Score is only available for benchmarkable, Likert Scale questions, and benchmarks must be turned on to use it.
If you add a Compare Rule to your survey results, you can compare different response groups to the benchmark.
For example, let's say you want to compare customer feedback about two different store locations.
- Add a Multiple Choice question to your survey asking respondents to select the store location they visited.
- Apply a Compare Rule to that question.
- Browse the benchmarkable questions in your survey—you'll see a side-by-side view of the results from those two stores and the benchmark.
If you purchased benchmarks, you can export a CSV of raw benchmark data. Click the black down arrow to the right of a benchmark in the left sidebar and click Download CSV.
When benchmarks are turned on, some analyze features may behave differently:
- Benchmark data and charts are not included in exports of your survey results, shared data pages, or Data Trends.
- If you add a Filter rule, only your survey data is filtered—the benchmark data is not filtered.
- If you save a View with benchmarks turned on, the Filter or Show rules applied are saved as normal. Benchmark visibility is controlled by the button directly above the question chart and is not dependent on the View applied.
Hiding all benchmarks allows you full access to your analyze tools.

Good day Folks... So glad you've joined us again:)

Lillian: Remember this?Mature
"You don't remember me?" I said soflty as they walked back in. Alec helped Leslie sit down at the kitchen table as she shook her head, slighly scared and hearing the upset tone in her voice she said, "No."
We stood (and sat) there in silence for about three minuetes.
"I have an idea." I suddenly said, Alec looked at me slightly annoyed that I frightened him by my sudden out burt and Leslie was looking as nervous as ever.
I jogged out of the kitchen,
"Where- and what I may add- are you doing?!" Alec called after me, I didn't answer but jogged into the living room and gathered all the things with me and Leslie in it. He heard me and it suddenly clicked as I ran into the kitchen again,
"Oh please don't do this Lillian," Alec sighed, I put the things down on the table that inclueded a photograph of me and Leslie. I suddenly jumped up drammatically turning around and looking at my bum,
"It's you, you know, the pain in my arse." I smiled.
"Very funny Lillian" Alec feld his arms across his chest but he couldn't hide the slight smile.
"I thought so. Now," I sat down opposite Leslie looking at the items on the table "Let's see if we can jog your memory." I picked up the picture and passed it to her. "Remember this?"

S&P 500 Comes Back Near First Support; Seasonality Begins to Bite Housing
Snorting bulls just got Ashton Kutcher punked two days in a row here; late yesterday and buy the dip first thing this morning.
We are close to first support here as the S&P is down near 1050; we have loads of support areas below that. I am still spying that little gap in the SPY chart near 102 (roughly 1020 on the S&P 500)
Remember what we have been saying about seasonality in housing for many a month. Despite the Fed spending over a trillion of your dollars to manipulate mortgage rates down to 5% (or below); despite $8000 handouts to first time home buyers, despite FHA loans at 3.5% down and apparently even 0% down in other federal agencies... there still has been no real surge in housing. If you look year over year, the metrics still stink - but no one is looking at that as it is inconvenient to a green shoot thesis.
Just imagine how bad things would be without such government intervention... this is why I can see no way the housing handouts do not continue, we need a fully subsidized economy where we employ generational arbitrage - steal from future generations to give to today's. Otherwise we are faced with what I call the core economy aka the non subsidized economy - and that is not pretty.
Seasonality begins to float away...
- Sales of previously owned U.S. homes unexpectedly fell in August, a survey showed on Thursday, a minor setback for the housing market's recovery from a three-year slump.
- The National Association of Realtors said sales fell 2.7 percent to an annual rate of 5.10 million units, from 5.24 million units in July. That compared to market expectations for a 5.35 million unit pace.
Now if we were being intellectually honest all those who cried to the heavens in ecstasy when MONTH OVER MONTH data was improving, should be wringing their hands. But we can't have that.
- NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun described the decline as a mild retreat
I will stress this, just as I have the past 6 months - you MUST look at real estate year over year not month over month. It is seasonal - you can't compare a July to a March. All those who were excited that May housing purchases were higher than March, will now scoff that October is weaker than August. Only when seasonality works for you do you tout month over month gains; when it works against you - you ignore it.
Then you drink Kool Aid.

Probe finds NFL didn't see Rice video, fumbled investigation
By Steve Ginsburg
(Reuters) - An independent probe has found no evidence that anyone at the NFL possessed or saw the surveillance video of running back Ray Rice striking his then-fiancee last year but said the league failed to properly investigate the case.
The investigation, led by former FBI director Robert Mueller, concluded the league "should have done more with the information it had."
The report faults the NFL for yielding to law enforcement in Rice's case and not pushing for more evidence. But it does not place blame on embattled league commissioner Roger Goodell, who has absorbed the brunt of public criticism.
"We found no evidence that anyone at the NFL had or saw the in-elevator video before it was publicly shown," said a release summarizing the findings of the fourth-month probe.
Mueller's report recommended that the NFL establish a special domestic violence and sexual assault investigative team and adopt guidelines for investigations.
The Rice incident, along with a spate of domestic abuse cases among players including Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson, brought down a firestorm of public criticism on the most popular U.S. sports league as it sought to woo female fans, a key growth area.
"We have all learned a great deal in the past months and expect to be judged by how we lead going forward on issues of domestic violence and sexual assault," Goodell said in a statement.
Goodell initially suspended Rice for two games for punching Janay Palmer, who fell unconscious in an elevator during an argument at an Atlantic City, New Jersey, casino in February last year. Continued...

Affluent Lifestyle Guide
The Obamas are back in fair with the Queen of England and her husband Prince Phillip, after a gift exchange that repaired their last un-royal gift giving debacle. President Obama and the First Lady have been on a trip to visit the royals, and unlike their last visit two years ago, when they presented the Queen with an iPod, they were prepared with more formal gifts this time around. The iPod
was, as reporters stated, a tad declasse for someone of the Queen's stature.
Fit for Her Royal Highness standing the President and Mrs. Obama presented the Queen with presidential memorabilia. A collection of rare memorabilia and photographs in a handmade leather bound album that chronologically highlights her parents' (King George VI and Queen Elizabeth) visit to the United States in 1939, reported the White House. Prince Phillip received a gift befitting of his love for equestrian sporting, specifically his love for carriage driving, with a custom-made set of Fell Pony bits and shanks, as well as original horseshoes worn by recently retired champion carriage horse Jamaica.
The palace reported a reciprocation of gifts to the Obamas as well. They received a selection of letters taken from the royal Archives to and from a number of presidents to Queen Victoria commencing with a letter from John Quincy Adams writing to Princess Victoria in 1834.

VA Palo Alto Health Care System, Palo Alto, CA
Prior studies of the effect of wait time (time to diagnosis or treatment) on survival in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) yielded results that were mixed and confounded by several sources of bias. We aimed to describe variation in wait times, identify predictors of longer wait times, and examine the effect of wait time on survival.
We performed a retrospective cohort study by reviewing the records of consecutive patients who were diagnosed with NSCLC between 1/1/02 and 12/31/03 at VA Palo Alto Health Care System. We used multivariable statistical methods to identify independent predictors of longer wait times, and to examine the effect of wait time on survival.
We identified 129 veterans with NSCLC (mean age 67 years, 98% men, 83% white), most with adenocarcinoma (51%) or squamous cell carcinoma (30%). A minority (18%) presented with a solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN). Median time from initial suspicion to treatment was 85 days (range 3 to 1355 days). Independent predictors of longer wait times (>90 days) were hospitalization within 7 days of initial suspicion (OR 6.0, 95% CI 2.2 to 16.2), tumor size >3 cm (OR 5.4, CI 2.1 to 14.1), chest x-ray findings other than the primary tumor (OR 2.6, CI 0.9 to 7.5), and any symptom (OR 2.5, CI 1.0 to 6.0). In multivariable analyses, wait time was not associated with survival (HR 1.5, CI 0.9 to 2.5). In patients with SPN, there was a trend toward improved survival when wait time was <90 days (figure).
Wait times for our patients with NSCLC were often longer than recommended. Patients with more severe presentations of NSCLC had shorter wait times, confounding the relationship between wait time and survival. Our results suggest the hypothesis that in patients with malignant SPN, survival may be better in patients treated within 90 days.
If confirmed, our results suggest that quality improvement efforts should focus on reducing wait times in patients with solitary nodules and others with potentially resectable NSCLC.
Michael Gould, None.

I was practically dancing on air when I had heard that I was chosen to go on this special boating trip. I have been at this camp for three years now, and I have never been picked for anything up until now. I excitedly pulled on a life vest and waited at the harbour. There were two other girls there, but I had not yet caught their names. I excitedly packed a sack lunch and waited for further instruction. While we waited, I decided to get to know the girls. I walked up to une that had flowing long honey blonde hair.
"Hi," I said, "What's your name?"
"Cassidy Jo Wilson. But you can call me Cass or Cassie."
"So, is this your first time going on this trip?"
"Well, yeah." She said, "This is my first year after all."
"Really? It's my third year." Looking out into the distance, I noticed stormclouds gathering. "Those clouds look like Cumilo Nimbus" I said. I can be kindof a nerd sometimes. "I sure hope we don't get rained out."
"Yeah, I know what you mean. Those clouds are kindof scaring me."
I wanted to talk with her some more, but soon all the other campers had arrived. We all boarded the boat and prepared for the day at sea. Little did we know that this peaceful ride would turn into a nightmare.

text: I think we're straight on this: When a browser attempts to load a Web site, the fewer server connections it has to establish, the better. This basically means if it all comes from the same server, that is the fastest. Now... I am pretty certain either browsers, dns servers and / or the Internet (not sure which) consider these two: www.lawnsite.com and ads.lawnsite.com Two distinct and separate servers. The reason I say this is because I know www.domain.com and domain.com (without the w's) are treated as separate domains, even thou you and I and every fool out there knows that the two obviously reside on the same server because they are the same web site, something about the system fouls this up, and thus it gets treated as if these were residing on two separate servers. For example, if you were loading some images from domain.com/images/ and some from www.domain.com/images/ then it will take a FULL 2 second longer to load than if they were all being referenced from one OR the other (but not both). This much I know for a fact, it is one reason I do everything by a standard. So ... Would it be of help to place the ad server at: www.lawnsite.com/ads/ instead? In most cases (or at least some unix servers) it's a simple setting change to go from dir.domain.com to domain.com/dir/, don't even have to make any major changes. Just trying to help, might be worth asking about this in the server's support forums.

The way you behave in that moment will either build or diminish trust. --Stephen M.R. Covey What people want to know… Do you care for me? Can you help me? Can I trust you? If you are a supervisor… The answer to… "Do you trust your boss?" …is more predictive of team and office performance THAN ANYTHING ELSE! Could It Be This Simple? When we believe that people are truly acting in our best interest, we tend to trust them. When we believe they are not acting in our best interest (or we may not be sure of the intent), we do not trust them. --Stephen M.R. Covey Trust is a function of 2 things… CHARACTER •Your integrity •Your motive •Your intent with people **Constant** Violation = quickest way to decrease trust COMPETENCE •Your capabilities •Your skills •Your results •Your track record **Situational** Quickest way to increase trust Great Way to Show Competence Under-promise & Over-deliver Your intent creates the greatest trust when your… • Motives (your why) are consistently about the genuine care of others • Agenda is one that seeks mutual benefit • Behavior is focused on the best interest of others 13 Critical Behaviors from The Speed of Trust 1.

Love is loyalty, love is teamwork, love respects the dignity of the individual. This is the strength of any organization. -- Vince Lombardi Reframing Love • Common in English language: Love is a feeling • Reframe: Love is a behavior, an action (Agape love) • Patience • Kindness • Humility • Respectfulness • Selflessness • Forgiveness • Honesty • Commitment A team member or employee motivated by fear, force or any other form of manipulation is not that same as a team member motivated by love or the knowledge that someone cares about them. -- Zach Thomas More than Money Intrinsic Motivation is Critical Autonomy • The desire to direct our own lives Mastery • The desire to get better and better at what we do that truly matters Purpose • The yearning to do what we do in the spirit of something larger than ourselves Traditional management is great for compliance. Self-direction works better for employee engagement. -- Daniel Pink Help Them Reach Goals, Even if it Means They Leave Growth Mindset •How can you make each person better? •What are your colleague's… • Short-term goals? • Long-term goals? • Work Passions? • Work Strengths? • Obvious places where they can contribute in the office operations?

Leaders owe people space, space in the sense of freedom. Freedom in the sense of enabling our gifts to be exercised. -- Max Depree None of us is as smart as all of us. Understanding and accepting diversity enables us to see that each of us is needed. It also enables us to begin to think about being abandoned to the strengths of others, of admitting we cannot do everything. -- Max DePree Of all of the bad ideas circulating the grapevine, pretending that leaders must know everything is among the most ridiculous and harmful. Leaders earn their keep, not by knowing everything, but by knowing how to bring the right combination of people (most of whom know more about certain topics than the leader) and propel them toward common objectives. It is okay to say, "I do not know. Ideas anyone?" -- Crucial Confrontations Ultimate Leadership Goal To have your boss come into your office and tell you that you mentored someone so well that they will now be better in your position than you…so get out Leaders leave behind a positive influence when they leave and the office builds on the leader's work and flourishes Supervising Challenging Employees or Challenging Situations What are some challenges you experience in supervising employees? 4 Possible Roots of 'Challenging Employees' 1. Me 2. Unmet Expectations 3. Lack of skill 4. Lack of motivation Me •Our attitude toward others plays a large role in other's performance results •Everyone is a valuable member of the team…do you think that? •Where am I the person's barrier to great performance? •Where have I failed to communicate or act in the manner needed for that person's success? Most leaders can tell you the weaknesses of their team members. But can you cite the strengths and talents of your team? Are you accessing their very best capability? -- Dare to Serve So much of what we call management consists in making it difficult for people to work. -- Peter Drucker Unmet Expectations •Expectations clearly outlined but not followed •Expectations not clearly outlined, likely assumed and subsequently not met The ability to hold others accountable lies at the very center of a person's ability to exert influence. -- Crucial Confrontations The Reality of Poor Performance For people to behave badly (and/or to not meet our expectations) over the long haul, WE have to do 2 things: 1. We choose to avoid the conversations we need to have. • Keeps people from seeing the true consequences and impact of their actions 2. We create a work-around that enables others to continue doing what they are doing (namely unproductive and possibly negative actions). -- Crucial Confrontations Lack of Skill and/or Motivation? •Does the employee have the right skill set for the task(s) at hand or the overall job? •Does the employee have the right motivation? • No one wants to do overly hard, noxious, boring or unimportant work. •Get the right people on the bus and get them in the right seats. (Jim Collins) Skill and Motivation are Often Interwoven •Is it the chicken or the egg (skill or motivation) as to why the staff member is not performing to expectations? • Keep in mind 'Flow' concept Identify challenges with THEIR input, not based on your assumptions and judgments alone • Involving others in the solution empowers others, creates motivation and creates mutual understanding of expectations • "What will make this better for you?" Don't Forget the Role of Me Ask the employee: • Where am I contributing to this challenge? (and desire honest feedback) • What can I do to assist? • If our roles were reversed and you were supervising me in this situation, what would you tell me? How would you work with me? Consider the Critical Role of Environment We often assume that people act the way they do because of uncontrollable personality factors (their disposition) as opposed to doing what they do because of forces in the environment (the situation). It is easy to see other's actions only while we are acutely aware of forces behind our choices. -- Crucial Confrontations Remember: We are each a force in our environments Environmental Wonders… •What other sources of environmental influence may be impacting this person? • Work systems • Physical design/space layout • Polices and procedures • Cultural expectations and assumptions • Organizational supports (or lack thereof) • Chain of command • ???? Dig Deeper •What is their assessment of the situation? •What environmental factors are contributing to their actions? •What role am I playing? •What am I missing in my assessment? Consider beyond the typical "Gee, what in the world is wrong with them?" It is the Problem, Not the Person •When discussing work problems, let the person know you see them as a person of value and worth who is currently unable to meet expectations… • And you want to help the person as best as you can •Keep the focus on the problem, not the person • Helps other person feel safe in the conversation Use CPR Approach •Content – focus on the facts of the matter •Pattern – explain what see happening over time •Relationship – explain impact of the problem on our relationship (which offers the biggest impact in awareness and understanding) What is going on? Are you okay? How can I help? What am I missing here? Follow-Up •Who does what by when •Maintain accountability Keep It Fun Make Monday morning as pain-free as possible. Give Thanks Gratitude is the most effective currency for helping people perform at their best. -- Michael Hyatt Sharpen Your Skills Leadership and Supervision are Skills •To improve requires intentional effort •Feedback •Reading •Mentoring •Workshops •Reflection •??? No matter how good you think you are as a leader, my goodness, the people around you will have all kinds of ideas for how you can get better. So for me, the most fundamental thing about leadership is to have the humility to continue to get feedback and to try to get better because your job is to try to help everybody else get better. --Jim Yong Kim Closing Thoughts to Consider… In the end, it is impossible to have a great life unless it is a meaningful life. And it is very difficult to have a meaningful life without meaningful work. -- Good to Great It is the leader's responsibility to bring purpose and meaning to the work of the organization. -- Dare to Serve Holding Yourself Accountable Based on this presentation, what is one next step you will commit to completing by next Friday? • Order a book to read • Review this presentation and take more thorough notes, map out a game plan, etc. • Find a mentor • Have a conversation with a mentor • Journal • Have a conversation with an employee • ????

Ann O'Brien, who rose from selling vegetables in a rural Kenyan market to employing dozens of prostitutes in her plush Mayfair townhouse, banked hundreds of thousands of pounds a year.
Vice squad officers watched as a "steady stream" of largely single men called round to part with £150 for an hour's pleasure, featuring almost every sexual activity in the dictionary.
Whips, chains and an array of other "toys" were available for use in the bordello's six luxuriously-furnished double bedrooms.
A "takeaway" service was also available for hotel guests, who could choose from a menu packed with illicit pleasures that began at £250.
London's Southwark Crown Court heard business was so successful that the slightly-built 32-year-old was thinking of adding a dungeon to her list of attractions.
Police found a catalogue packed with everything for the most demanding masochist. Restraints, cages, stocks, and a bondage wheel were all available.
O'Brien was just deciding what to order when she was arrested.
She stubbornly protested her innocence despite "overwhelming evidence", including 200,000 raunchy "telephone box" cards in her bedroom.
Last month a jury unanimously convicted her of the same number of three charges of "controlling prostitutes" between October 10 2003 and April 15 last year.
Passing sentence, Judge John Price told O'Brien, who spent five months in prison awaiting trial, that despite the "seriousness" of the offences, he did not think she needed to return there.
"Some form of service in the community, this time unpaid of course, will be appropriate."
He went on: "You lied throughout that trial and the jury found you guilty. The maximum sentence is one of seven years and you deserve to go to prison for this.
"There were many girls involved and a great deal of money was made. You did very well out of it.
"The prosecution intend to take that away from you."
A confiscation hearing will be held in November when the Crown is expected to seek up to £1.2 million.
Altogether she made £1.6 million, but bought a hairdressing salon in Kilburn, north London, to explain away her considerable wealth.
To build their case, police posed as punters and carried out a number of so-called "test purchases".
After selecting a prostitute, perusing the menu, handing over the money and going up to a bedroom, they politely made their excuses and left - a tactic the judge described as "doing your duty but certainly no more".
O'Brien - whose mother is in Kenya still insisting her daughter is innocent - said she provided only an escort service.

Given the sheer number of sexual assault survivors I know and their visceral reactions to Trump, it's clear that his election has created a new division on the political landscape.

Random Thoughts: Still wearing that hat?
Right. So it is somewhere between 4 and 5 am and I cannot continue the fight against insomnia, so I figured maybe it is time for a blog post. I know that my output here doesn't look like the next statement is true, but I do write every single day. Fiction and journaling work marches on though it goes, mostly, unseen. Once upon a time I tried to keep some pretty rigid rules for myself around what I put into a public space, particularly if it isn't related to writing work, but you know WWIII could start tomorrow so screw it.
It's no secret that sleep has been sort of hard to chase down. I suspect this is true for a lot of us watching events unfold and dealing with the impact of this political moment in our daily lives.
I have probably discussed this one before, but it is hard to describe the sense of alarm I feel whenever I see one of those red hats with that bullshit statement on it. Any red baseball cap in that red color makes me reach for my mace and I still don't relax even if it turns out not to be THE hat. But the notion that there are people still, at this point, willing to advertise their enthusiasm for fascism in the White House disturbs me for a couple of reasons. One: If this one person is gauche enough to announce this affiliation to the world how many are there out there that I can't identify? Two: The ones in the hats seem particularly rabid and hostile. Three: How does the person not understand that no, I don't want to talk to them and why that might be?
I'm not saying that noticing someone's proud republican bumper sticker hasn't caused any reaction in the past, but I can't remember actually feeling afraid in the way that I do when I see a Trump hat. Someone's poster declaiming political views that I don't share might irritate, or spark some sort of ranty internal monologue, but I have never reacted with the level of paranoia that the Trump hat engenders. I'm not saying it's right, but I am saying it is something I have to work through to get through my day. I am not alone in this. And this is only a very small detail involving American life under the current regime.
You know, on inauguration day eve in my new town, I saw one person wearing that hat. It was a young person, he was by himself and all smiles. I avoided eye contact and kept on walking, probably at a slightly faster pace. I was on my way to a march in a major city nearby. At that moment, I did not feel all that threatened, the only threat I felt was the possibility that the person might draw me into unwanted conversation if I did the friendly thing and smiled back in spite of the hostility implied by his head wear. I marched and felt hope for the first time since the election. There was a moment when I was struck by the beauty of all the voices raised in solidarity echoing off of the tall buildings and I cried. I am in a new place. Everyone there was a perfect stranger to me, but I don't remember a time when I felt so connected to the humanity around me, so at one with something so much bigger and more important than my own individual turmoil. At least, it has been a long time. Selfishly, it turns out, civic action just feels amazing.
And then the week after inauguration happened. ( If you want a list of all the atrocities already in play, I recommend presterity.org. ) Of course I've got the day to day to attend to. Day job. Bill-paying. Chores. Writing and workout schedule. All the usual stuff we would be grumbling about at any other time. But during all that there is this constant backdrop of anxiety, anger, restlessness. A desire to be doing something further than making phone calls and ranting on twitter about what is wrong with the political landscape right now, a need to do something meaningful about it. Sometimes the road is clear and then sometimes it is not. There is one firm, incontrovertible constant and that is that this is wrong, it is not normal and we must stand against it and support others who are standing against it. It is the guidepost that keeps me moving forward.
The next time I saw a Trump hat, it took me by surprise and it upset me more than I thought possible. But by then it had been a week and the terrifying executive orders had started. I believe that day the issue that had my brain spinning was freedom of the press. I was at the laundromat. When I do laundry I tend to go for a walk between wash and dry cycles, rather than sit around waiting. But during the dry cycle, it's a habit to take advantage of the television there. It is always on local news. I don't have television at home, so it is kind of a nice thing. Standing in front of that television was a guy in that hat. I wasn't exactly sure what the broadcast was about except that I heard the word "Trump" and saw the guy in the Trump hat standing alone with a smile. I saw him before he saw me and so I went over to the corner where my laundry was in the process of losing the last of its moisture and hid behind a long row of machines. Why did I hide? Well, one of the things about hanging out in a laundromat is that generally, people like to engage in small talk. It was crucial, at that moment, to avoid the possibility of interaction with that person. His smile at the mention of the Neon Narcissist's name registered as creepy. And anyone, who by this particular time could proudly declare support of that man, seemed a person to avoid, at best.
One thing that crossed my mind is that all of these people in their creepy red hats might be baiting the opposition. Do you think they might be baiting us? If they are looking for a reaction, they certainly have one. In my case, it is simply avoidance.
The trouble with that is there are plenty of scenarios where we cannot avoid them. The co-worker who voted for Trump and won't stop talking about it even when you politely decline to engage for the sake of a harmonious workplace and, oh, I don't know, keeping the job. The family member you have to see at holidays and family gatherings if you have a desire to maintain relationships with other, less insane family members. How do you balance the mandate to rail against with the need to survive your daily life? The answer is somewhere in that old cliché, pick your battles. I have no easy answers. There is no panacea. Sometimes the stream is clear and other times the river is muddy. (Feel free to use that quote for pee jokes, Alec Baldwin.) I'll speak freely with my allies and strategize for meaningful action. I'll yell on the streets in a march, I will state my case on the phone or in a letter to my representatives in congress. But I can't reach across the aisle to directly engage with what amounts to Nazi support.
So how about you guys? How do you navigate the daily with this crap in the air that we breathe? What do you use as the metaphorical face mask to filter out the poison? What are some of the small details in your day to day that are different? I ask because I think it is important to note these things. They are the things that will become normal and hard to pinpoint later. There's more to say, there always is, but for now, coffee, workout and words in the fiction project I am working on. Fingers crossed I see no red baseball caps today.
Random Thoughts: On Writing, Politics, and Silence
Today, I am supposed to be writing a dinner scene among a family between whom there is no political agitation. Given the political agitation that is currently in the very air we breathe this is no easy task. The brain desperately wants to engage with that while the particular demands of the story I am writing now require that my brain engages with something else. The fictional family's conflict that I am writing about has to do with combatting negative paranormal energies that they are, as humans on the living side of the equation, unaware of. This has nothing to do with politics, as far as the moment goes. Except that I remember in fiction, as in politics, conflict arises when character agendas diverge and come into opposition. So maybe I can use the present turmoil as a way in, as I write, even though the characters are fighting with ghosts rather than an oppressive regime. Maybe, if I can trick my brain into understanding that all conflict in story is still a mirror of conflict in general I can make it do what I want it to do. In a sense, this is sort of what writers do every day under any circumstance when we sit down to confront the blank page, the story that we are trying to write that has nothing to do with our real lives. Except that these aren't normal circumstances, are they?
I don't have any easy answers. We still have our work. We still have our voices whether we are writing escapist fiction or political allegories or essays or articles or engaging in rigorous journalism. But one of the thing artists of all stripes do is use everything around them in their work. Of course, we will use this too. This isn't the only thing I think about of course. What we present online, on social media, or in fiction can never tell the full story of what is in our heads.
I'm thinking a lot lately about silence. There is power in silence at certain times. The silent protest, the vigil, the silence you employ in your personal life to protect others. The silence you choose in the workplace because you want to pick your battles wisely. The silence you choose because it is better in some cases to listen than to shout. Example: when someone speaks about marginalization that you yourself do not experience it is better to listen than to weigh in. Example: when you are in a classroom setting and are there to learn something that you previously did not know. Example: when you do not know if you can trust the person in front of you with personal information.
There may come a time very soon when some of us choose silence in order to use resources other than our voice in order to save others.
But when someone demands your silence you can bet your ass that something very shady is going on. Someone's rights are about to be violated. Someone's dignity is about to be forcibly stripped from them. Abuse is about to occur.
It is not comfortable for everyone to get loud. But now is the time to get very loud. It is past the time to get very loud.
In the past I often opted for silence on certain topics because by nature, I am a harmony seeker. I wish to understand before I speak.
One thing that I understand right now is that silence is no longer appropriate. Human rights are being attacked. The government currently is trying to push progress back. The arts are under attack, and yes, science is under attack. All of this will negatively impact human beings. It will negatively impact all of us, even those that support the Neon Narcissist because here's the thing. Narcissists require approval. They are a sucking hole of need in this regard. When that man stops hearing accolades, or the accolades get repetitive enough that they begin to register as insincere his paranoia will grow stronger, and even those heaping accolades on that man will come under attack from him. He is already doing this with the press. You, in the Neon Narcissist's line of sight, you might suffer last since you are playing along, but trust that you will suffer the worst. Do not be silent about his abuses when they happen. Get very fucking loud.
I know what happens when you remain silent in the face of an abuser who is like this. The behavior escalates, because when they can't get accolades, they will seek a reaction, any reaction, even a negative one just to feel like they are in control. They are not in control, they are in chaos. This should frighten every single one of us. This should frighten those in the inner circle the most. This should give pause to those who are in support of the administration. Because the Neon Narcissist will not stop with attacking the enemies that he can see in front of him, he will go on to those he imagines are enemies. And eventually, those people who experience his wrath will be those who supported him.

Former Texas Governor Rick Perry spoke before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee yesterday. He is seeking confirmation as Donald Trump's Secretary of Energy. In his opening statement, he said "I am committed to modernizing our nuclear stockpile, promoting and developing American energy in all forms, advancing the department's critical science and technology mission, and carefully disposing […]

Random Thoughts: Just Checkin' In
Hey, everybody.
So the political landscape right now I suspect has a lot of us fiction writers both distracted and energized, focused and scattered, angry and hopeful. All of these swirling and conflicting emotional states are tough to cope with. We are distracted from the work of writing fiction because the horror show of what is going on in American governance seems like dystopian fiction. It is hard to look away to focus on our work, it is hard to believe that our work is significant enough to merit stepping away from the news cycle and missing something crucial. But our lives and our work are crucial, too. Stories are important. Whenever you lose sight of that remember politics is also made of story. Want to change the stories that play out in real life? Write stories that nurture empathy in your audience. Reminder: All stories, whether escapist fiction or literary, nurture empathy in an audience.
So that's the distracted part, here is the energized part. We are all seeing people come together to work against injustice and tyranny. Anger, when channeled into action can be a wonderful motivator. This is true of fiction writing also. There are some writers who do beautiful work that is fueled by anger. Anything that we experience as artists can be used as food or fuel for art. Use it for your work as you are using it for action. This, also merges with where we are focused. We know what is causing the anger and that cause points us in certain directions regarding our work and our civic duties.
But we are also scattered. It can be overwhelming to decide which call to action to heed. Which organization to volunteer for, whether to go out in the world and march or stay home and use your time to call your representatives. The American people are being attacked on so many different fronts right now it can be difficult to prioritize. And we have our personal limits. We have families and day jobs and obligations. We have things in our lives we must attend to because if we don't no one else will, but the call to action right now is the same. If we don't no one else will.
So pick something. Easier said than done, I know, but if we all choose at least one action, large or small, we can and will make a difference. Use your art, or not, but know that art itself can be an act of political defiance. When I wrote about the LGBT characters in Getting On With It, it did not feel like a political act. The manuscript was completed before November 8, 2016. It absolutely feels that way now. Like I said, any story asks for empathy for those who might be unlike you, whether that's the author's intention or not.
When I was in college, I remember having discussions about different political stances and movements and types of discourse and ways of approaching causes. There was a lot of judgment and blame bandied about in those discussions. (There still is.) This person isn't doing enough, this group is too aggressive, this one is too quiet, this other one is too loud. At the end of those discussions it can feel as if there is nothing that you can do right even among your allies in a particular cause. This is difficult to confront, but we have to decide as individuals how we will approach things. We have to choose our own paths and stick to them. No one can do it for you, which seems lonely, but I guarantee you will find other people walking alongside you on the same path.
Whatever else you decide to do, though, keep writing.

Whose Default Is It, Anyway?
Almost two weeks ago, Dallas-based Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. got the contract with the city of Dallas to provide some red-light cameras; the deal's worth $13.29 million bucks over five years. On the same day the announcement was made, ACS also announced it would not be able to file on time its annual financial report with the Securities and Exchange Commission because of the SEC and Department of Justice's separate investigations into how ACS top execs were given backdated stock options worth millions, which we've covered extensively here.
Well, comes word today that ACS has filed suit in United States District Court, Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division--for reasons that seem kind of, well, extraordinary. In filings made with the SEC today, ACS says it has "received a letter from persons claiming to hold certain of its senior notes advising the Company that it was purportedly in default" of its loan agreements with the Bank of New York Trust Company. ACS wants the bank to say that the people allegedly holding these letters ain't holding jack squat, which is why it's filed suit against the bank. Got that?
Odd thing is, as we reported two weeks ago, the company even said that if it didn't turn in its paperwork to the SEC by the end of September, which is rapidly approaching by the looks of my calendar, it would be violating its credit deals with its lendors. ACS was seeking a waiver, and we don't know if it's been granted yet. Developing, as the kids say. --Robert Wilonsky

Go upstairs, get a better view.Mature
"I say we go upstairs and get a good look of the block. We have to know what we're dealing with," Kyle says.
"I don't know man. Sounds like they're breaking in! Won't we get trapped?" Joe says.
"We'll be alright. We go guns!" Kyle replies, holding up his pistol.
"Alright, if you say so. Let's go!"
The four of them head up the stairs to Kyle's room to look out the window. Everything is almost pitch black with a little light from the moon. All of a sudden, the power is out and no one can see. Moaning can be heard from just outside the door.
"Oh crap..." Holly says.
They close the door behind them and find as many things to block it with like Kyle's bed and dresser. They look at each other, barely able to see each other's faces.
"What now?" Dave asks.
"Man, I don't know. We're trapped!" Kyle adds.
"Maybe we can make it out the window!" Joe climbs out onto the roof. The rest follow and they sit on top of what is the roof of the porch.
"If only we could make it to my car..." Kyle says.
"Well, how are we going to do that? There's like forty of them down there!" Holly says.
"Start shooting?" Joe asks. They all look to him and shrug then pull up their pistols.
Pew, pew, pew... pew, pew, pew, pew. For about fifteen minutes they shoot away and take out the zombies on the ground.
"Man, this is a kick ass game!" Dave says.
"Heh, yeah. But, little too realistic, isn't it?" Joe says as he begins to climb down the rain spout. Kyle comes down, then Holly after him, while Dave stays up there.
"Let's go man! We gotta jet!" Kyle yells to Dave.
"I can't dude, I'll fall. I'm not a damn monkey!" Dave says nervously.
"It'll be alright! I promise! Get your butt down here!" Kyle tries to coax him down.
"Uh... Okay..." Dave gets down and grabs the water spout and it breaks. He falls on his back. Dave's body blinks a few times and disappears.
"What!? Dave!? Where are you!?" Joe screams.
"Oh my god!" Holly cries.
"Guys, calm down, it's just a game. We'll get out of this and we'll..." Kyle stops talking. He feels a hand on his shoulder.
"Kyle! Watch out!" Joe yells as the zombie takes a bite out of Kyle's neck. Then, as Joe starts shooting the zombie, Joe's body blinks out as well and several other zombies ambush him and Holly.
"No!!" Holly is tackled from behind and she blinks out.
"You son of a bitch!" Joe shoots the zombie and it too blinks out. Then, it was just him. He was all alone in the darkness of the night.
"Hello? Uh, guys? Don't you have another life or something? Help me out here!" Joe looks around and starts running down the street.
"What do I do... Uh... Shit..." Zombies come from all sides of the street. From alley ways, manholes, and from houses. He tries shooting them all down but he couldn't kill them fast enough. They all pile on top of him and eat him and he, too, blinks out.
The next day, the newspaper read that the four were found dead in Kyle's living room with the devices found on their heads. Cause of death to be forever unknown.

The lodge was spotless with everything we could think of provided. The only difficulty we had was getting the water in the bath and shower warm enough which took a couple of days to master.

Booked a weeks holiday here to get away from it all for a romantic break, and to recharge our batteries. Ivyleaf certainly delivered on all fronts This is an amazing place. Peace quiet tranquillity, in a luxury Lodge. Your own hot tub in a secluded wooded area. Lodge itself was everything we could've wanted spacious very clean and so beautifully warm. The hot tub was kept sparkling clean and inspected and treated daily by the owners. All in all a real relaxing weeks holiday. Very comfortable all the facilities you could want for a wonderful holiday. Was able to use Wi-Fi for business, I know on holiday you shouldn't but being self-employed unfortunately I had to check emails etc. Sparkles the cat was a particular highlight, she looked after us the whole week. Also chickens and ducks great to look at. Great facilities for families and couples. We will certainly be booking to stay here again very soon can't recommend this place highly enough excellent friendly staff wonderful facilities comfortable spacious luxury lodges… It does what it says on the tin. Thank you Jules and Russell. The only regret is that we're not here for two weeks.

Everything anyone would need fir a perfect stay.
Confirmed guest, 2017-04-07
Lovely, well equipped and comfortable lodge. I have suggested some form of shade for the hot tub (a moveable umbrella?) as I spent a little too long in the hot tub one morning (not long at all really) and the sun was directly on me which at the time was lovely. I became unwell a few hours later and realised it was sunstroke - in Cornwall and in April! I live in Spain so should have known better. This isn't a criticism of the lodge, more a gentle warning to others.
Superb, the epitome of relaxation
Confirmed guest, 2017-03-20
Lovely lodge (we stayed in Robin), very clean and comfortable and contained everything we needed for a great week away. The hot tub was in a great position and very private. The area is lovely and the site very quiet, private and secluded - the owners are lovely, were on hand if needed but didn't intrude at all. Great selection of DVD's and books to use and the internet/wifi was to the satisfaction of our two teenagers! Would definitely recommend and return!

Had the most amazing one week stay with my husband and two boys . The lodge was spotless , well equipped , loved the hot tub and tranquility ! Perfectly located to tour Bude and surrounding areas The owners Russell and Jools are amazing and very helpful. Ivy Leaf comes highly recommend. The pictures don't do the lodges justice . Would definately return.

Confirmed guest, 2016-09-30
It was so easy to book no problems. We hadn't stayed in Bude before. Everything about the lodge was comfortable. Spotless. There was a BBQ on the deck too. It wasn't massive good enough to have one. Table and chairs outside listening to the birds whistling. Mike cooking the beef burgers, I know the onions that go with the beef burgers were lovely. All u need to do is chop them up, a bit of butter and put them in the microwave to soften and into foil and put them on the BBQ , not on the heat just in the side, make sure they don't go black a Mike. It was wonderful to have a choice to have a shower and a bath if wanted. Owners had put some little extras in the bathroom too, incase u hadn't got any when u arrived. Big fluffy towels are waiting for u, if u wanted more they were in the room just beside our cabin. Everything about it was peaceful, just what you need when you have been through a rare leukaemia like Josh has for nearly 3 years, we needed a week a away before secondary school started.
