Some people collect baseball cards of players they like. I collect medals of saints I want to be like. And I carry all of these in my wallet at all times. I should note that I also have a coupon book full of saint cards and a shoebox full of pamphlets, cards that don't fit in the coupon book, booklets, and other materials. Because that is simply how I roll. We are going to need all the help we can get trying to get to heaven and the saints definitely want to help us get there. They know the steep path we have to climb to make it to holiness, and they will certainly help you get there if you are willing to ask for help.
Oh! VERY IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE!
Registration has opened for the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia in September 2015. Do your soul a favor and register for this wonderful event (which will feature Father Robert Barron as a key note speaker). I have already bothered the husband about registering (fees are about $125 for those over the age of 18). There is a chance you may see the Pope if you attend. That in and of itself is a good enough reason for me! Check out the website for more information: http://www.worldmeeting2015.org/

News on concurrent chemotherapy and radiation?
- Question from Jaqui: Was there any news about concurrent chemo and radiation?
- Answers - Kathy D. Miller, M.D. I didn't see anything new, but I did follow one small study that looked at that. This was a study done by investigators at Johns Hopkins who looked at concurrent radiation with dose-dense adjuvant chemotherapy. This was a small study of only about 20 patients, but they found no increase in toxicity from the radiation, and that approach did allow patients to complete all of their treatments sooner. With such a small experience at only one institution, this isn't something that we could recommend to women right now, but I know the investigators hope to study this further in more patients and with other participating institutions. I would add because the study was so small and there was no comparison group, there is no way for this study to tell us if the combined approach was more effective.
The Ask-the-Expert Online Conference called Updates From the 2009 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium featured Kathy Miller, M.D. and Kristin Brill, M.D., F.A.C.S. answering your questions about the latest updates on breast cancer risk, screening techniques, treatment options, and more.

Report: Armed men take airport in Ukraine's Crimea
SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine — Dozens of armed men in military uniforms seized an airport in the capital of Ukraine's strategic Crimea region early Friday, a report said.
Witnesses told the Interfax news agency that the 50 or so men were wearing the same gear as the ones who seized government buildings in the city, Simferopol, on Thursday and raised the Russian flag.
The report said the men with "Russian Navy ensigns" first surrounded the Simferopol Airport's domestic flights terminal.
The report could not be immediately confirmed.
The events in the Crimea region have heightened tensions with neighboring Russia, which scrambled fighter jets to patrol borders in the first stirrings of a potentially dangerous confrontation reminiscent of Cold War brinksmanship.
Russia also has granted shelter to Ukraine's fugitive president, Viktor Yanukovych, after recent deadly protests in Kiev swept in a new government.
While the government in Kiev, led by a pro-Western technocrat, pledged to prevent any national breakup, there were mixed signals in Moscow. Russia pledged to respect Ukraine's territorial integrity.
WRAPUP 4-Ukraine warns Russia after gunmen seize Crimea parliament
* Armed men seize buildings in Crimea, run up Russian flag
* Acting president warns Moscow against Crimea troop moves* Russia fighters on alert, says it will defend compatriots' rights
* Hryvnia falls to record low, IMF mission to visit Kiev
* Yanukovich said to hold news conference on Friday
By Alessandra Prentice and Alissa de Carbonnel
SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine, Feb 27 (Reuters) – Armed men seized the parliament in Ukraine's Crimea region on Thursday and raised the Russian flag, alarming Kiev's new rulers, who warned Moscow not to move troops beyond the confines of its navy base on the peninsula.
Crimea, the only Ukrainian region with an ethnic Russian majority, is the last big bastion of opposition to the new leadership in Kiev since President Viktor Yanukovich was ousted at the weekend and provides a base for Russia's Black Sea fleet.
Its regional parliament, meeting in another part of the building that was apparently still occupied by the gunmen, voted to stage a referendum on "sovereignty" for Crimea.
"I am appealing to the military leadership of the Russian Black Sea fleet," said Oleksander Turchinov, Ukraine's acting president, who warned Russia not to move personnel beyond areas permitted by treaty for those using its naval base.
"Any military movements, the more so if they are with weapons, beyond the boundaries of this territory will be seen by us as military aggression," he said.
Russia has repeatedly declared it will defend the interests of its citizens in Ukraine, and on Wednesday announced war games near the border involving 150,000 troops on high alert.
Although Moscow says it will not intervene by force, its rhetoric since the removal of its ally Yanukovich has echoed the runup to its invasion of Georgia in 2008, when it sent its troops to protect two self-declared independent regions and then recognised them as independent states.
Ukraine's leaders say they fear separatism in the Crimea.
In Washington, the White House warned Russia to avoid "provocative" acts. "We strongly support Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty. We expect other nations to do the same," said White House spokesman Jay Carney.

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
We are a small rescue in Central Indiana using a small network of foster homes. We rescue older adult and senior beagles and work to place in permanent loving homes.
Older adult and senior dogs have an especially hard time finding a loving home when either surrendered to a shelter or found as a stray and turned into animal control. Adults and seniors make the most wonderful pets and companions. They are typically obediant and intelligent and very easy to train using effective consistant interaction. We are committed to finding loving homes for older adults and seniors who are unfortunate enough to find themselves in a shelter homeless in their older years.
We do not have a facility and can only take a limited number of dogs into our rescue. We pull from municipal animal facilities where senior dogs are not likely to be adopted before their holding time is up.
We do not accept unwanted pets from owners but will provide guidance via email or phone on how to go about finding a new home for your pet. Please contact us, or your local humane society, before placing your animal as free to good home in any type of classified ad. If you need help with keeping your animal we can give you information about how to overcome issues.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

I think a got an used chair
I ordered 4 chair . All of them came with the legs bubble wrap and the screws on a zip bag , but one of them came without legs bubble wrap and those legs have a lot of scratches and also the screws came in a regular white bag. That chair look like if was used before. Bad quality control. So disappointed.Read More
close to a nightmare
the quality and look is great- the assembly of them however was an absolute nightmare!!! I ordered 6 of these chairs and had to return and get new ones twice! the backings were all different sizes and some curved more than others. so if you put them all side by side they looked like almost different chairs. it was such a long process and a pain that we ended up taking the two most different looking ones and put them at the heads of the table.Read More

Perfect chairs!
These chairs are really beautiful, comfortable and sturdy. The fabric is very rich looking in a lovely cream color. They are from Safavieh Furniture. Tips for putting together....there is a zipper in the bottom of the chair which you unzip to get the legs, screws and tiny wrench. Place the gatched area of the front legs to the inner part of the chair. So easy to put on the legs and then you are done. The zipper in the bottom of the chair is a cool feature because it is a perfect hiding place for jewelry, etc. Who would think of looking there? I am super pleased with my purchase. Because I am a member of the "O" Club, I got an extra discount and free shipping. Sweet!Read More
Very beautiful with a classic yet trendy shape. Looks lovely from the front with the button tufting. And lovely from the back with the nail head trim and shape. The padding seems of a poor quality and I suspect that in time with a lot o use will sagRead More
Very elegant chairs
I love these chairs! We bought these for our navy / white dining room and I love how the beige contrasts with the white wainscoting. They are very elegant and very sturdy. The seat is plush and the back is stronger than it looks in the picture. They were pretty easy to put together. We bought 10 and I did each on my own...except for a few screws to maybe 3 (out of 40) legs that I had my husband help me tighten. Overall great quality, very comfortable, elegant, just what we were looking for :)Read More
Better quality than shown in photo
I absolutely love these chairs. I purchased 2 to use as captain dining room chairs. I found others at Macy's that were $275 per chair, and less qualify than these chairs. If you are on the fence, purchase them! You will not be disappointed.Read More
We love the chairs. We had problems with some of the legs being uneven but Customer Service corrected the problem immediately. New chairs were sent and all was well. We are very happy with the chairs and kudos to the Customer Service Department. This was our first purchase with Overstock and we will definitely be back!! We actually purchased 3 sets of 2 so we love our 6 chairs!!! Very Classic and we have received many compliments. Thank you Overstock for a great experience!!!Read More

: I have a question from a customer, would like your input please!
So I work for a discount department store and one of the things we sell is hair dryers. A curly customer came in a few days ago looking for a hair dryer with a good diffuser. She looked like maybe a 3b/3c-ish. She had her hair up so I'm just going by the loose curls I could see, but it looks like we have similar curls.
So her question was this: does the size of a diffuser end determine how good it works on hair? Like, the bigger the better? I was honest with her and told her that since I'm growing my hair out, I'm avoiding excess heat, but as long as a diffuser does its job it works for me. (I have a diffuser, which I let her know, but I don't use it a lot.) She liked my take on it, which was good! Hahaha.
Anyway I'm just asking since I want to make sure I'm more informed on Diffusers, so I can provide the best possible customer service now and in the future. We carry Revlon and Chi, Vidal Sassoon, and a few others, in case that helps

Forgive me if this has been discussed before... I'm kind of new here and haven't had much of a chance to look around. I have twin girls who are 5 months old and am struggling with getting them to sleep. Does anyone have any good tips for how to get two babies to sleep at the same time? I usually don't have any help at bedtime, so I need to figure out a good way to do it by myself.
For the past couple months, I've just tried to work with one at a time... putting one somewhere (in the swing, under a mobile, etc.) for 10 minutes or so while I get the other to sleep. These days it is taking longer and longer to get them to sleep so my old strategy isn't really working anymore. The one who is waiting tends to get very impatient and start fussing, so I try to go back and forth between them and usually just end up making no one happy.
I do tandem nurse them during the day, but have never been able to transition them to a sleeping position after tandem nursing.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated :)
Mom to son M (11/06), and twin daughters L & A (6/10).
I have 4 month old twin boys and this is what works for me...
We do the same routine every night. My guys go to sleep around 7 and then we wake them @ 10 for a top off feeding. If I am by myself, I try to stagger their feedings (B nurses, A drinks expressed breast milk) but if they both are fussy, I end up bottle feeding both at the same time.
My twin A is more fussy than B and requires much more assistance in calming than his brother. At 7 pm, I change both boys and put B in his sleep sack. I turn on the vaporizer and their ipod (soft classical music) and shut the door. We also give him his night paci but he normally spits it out. For him, that's all it takes. Sometimes A will scream through this, I usually put him in the crib while working on B and he is content to look at his mobile. What he doesn't like is me working with B while he is in another room.
A however, is more of an issue. I change him, put him in his sleep sack or pjs. Then I feed him a small feeding with cereal, maybe 2-3 oz of pumped breast milk or formula and a tbsp of cereal. I do this in our rocking chair. Some nights, he will fall asleep in my arms (but not normally). If that doesn't work, I'll feed him, burp him and put him in his swing where he will fall asleep. Then we transfer him to the bed after about 1/2 hour of sleeping.
Twin A really fights sleep and can get really overtired. Both my guys sleep in the same crib which they seem to like. I think that because they are two individuals with two different personalities, what works for one may not work for the other. Would be nice though!
Hope this helps,
Mommy to Franklin & Callan
My husband works afternoons, so I am also by myself with my twins (5 months) and my daughter who is 2.5. I should mention that we co-sleep so this may not work for you if you are not comfortable with bedsharing. For the first few months I used the swing and nursed the fussier baby to sleep, then nursed the second baby to sleep. Now I have one baby sleep on either side of me and turn around to nurse whoever fusses the most. They do cry a bit sometimes but it is the best I can do. I have my daughter look at books until one baby is asleep, then nurse the second baby and read stories to my daughter until she is ready to sleep. Then we turn out the light and sing songs. By this time both babies are asleep so I turn on my booklight and read until my daughter falls asleep. Then I keep reading until I am tired. I tried to get up for a few weeks but have decided the inevitable waking of at least one child was not worth the benefit of getting up since I usually just read in a chair anyway. Good luck. It's really tough.

I don't know if you swaddle your babies, but I did, almost for a year with the twins as a matter of course, and then after as needed.
When I was alone for nap or bedtime, I would swaddle, nurse tandem, and then set one down onto the couch/bed I was on, carry other to bed, go back and get first baby.
Good luck!
My twins are 5.5, and there is life after twinfancy.
I used to swaddle, but they don't need that anymore. Also now baths help put them to sleep, whereas they used to hate baths. But I usually need a second set of hands with the baths, to hold the one I'm not bathing.
Just popping back in to say thank you all for the tips... I've been experimenting with different methods to varying success. I haven't found a perfect solution yet, but that's probably because there isn't one. I think the hardest thing about having multiples, for me, is that I can't be as responsive to each of their needs as quickly as I'd like. I'm still trying to make my peace with that. My new parenting mantra is, "I'm doing the best that I can." :)

The BD35 also performs well with the Silicon Optix Blu-ray HD HQV Benchmark disc, resolving the black and white lines flawlessly in the film and video resolution loss tests, as well as keeping jaggies to a minimum on rotating bars (hats off to P4HD) and resolving the tiny seats in the panning stadium shot with minimal flickering.
We weren't quite as enamoured by the BD35 as a DVD upscaler though – the opening scenes of Seven look a tad hazy and fidgety (particularly Morgan Freeman's textured bed sheet) and edges look jagged. Switching to the more recent Lord of the Rings disc, we got more of the same, which is a surprise given Panasonic's past upscaling accomplishments with this disc.
But it's all positive on the sound quality front. We paired the BD35 with Panasonic's SA-BX500 receiver and kicked back with Resident Evil: Extinction's Dolby True HD soundtrack and were swallowed up by a clear, detailed soundstage that quite frankly took our breath away. Music from the analogue outputs is also distinct and well-balanced.
The DMP-BD35 shows Blu-ray at its very best, not only in terms of picture quality – which is absolutely sensational, by the way – but also in terms of sound, features and all-round usability. DVD playback is a touch disappointing but in all other respects, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better Blu-ray player for this sort of money.

I have pre-ordered my BD50 but it hasn't even been released yet in the UK?
What is Panasonic playing at??
I have now cancelled by BD50 order and will look at other manufacturers.
I can understand you feeling a little disgruntled by Panasonic's quick turnaround of players, but I think you'd be ill advised to shun them completely on that basis - the BD50 and BD35 are both fantastic players in terms of features and performance, putting Panasonic streets ahead of other manufacturers.
i think you did a typo on. where you supposed to put dmp-bd35 instead you put dmp-bd50?

I think you're right, Chevy. This little slip has now been fixed.
Incidentally, you can read our BD50 review here for comparison:
i am waiting on the DMP-bd55 :)
Now FINALLY available to preorder on Amazon.co.uk. Search for "Panasonic BD35"
If you don't want BD-Live is it worth paying the extra for a BD35 over a BD30?
Now under 𧶲 - check out the Latest Price at the top of the page.
I think Panasonic have missed a trick here.
The BD50 had was not even available when the BD55 was announced.
I contacted Panasonic twice over the last 2 months asking when the BD55 would be available. No reply.
So it's goodbye Panasonic. I'm going to get the Sony S550 - cheaper, comparable spec and available NOW !!!!
ive got a TH37 PX8B plasma tv and i want a blu ray player, would this model now available at 𧶀 be a good match for my screen, i think i want to stick to Panasonic
any advice would be appreciated
I just bought one of these players today after reading many positive reviews. The first thing I watched(On a 52" Samsung Series 5 LCD) was BBC Planet Earth, the "Pole to Pole" episode. First impressions are that the video quality is jaw-dropping and incredibly compelling even for people who are completely apathetic about clarity and definition. My receiver(Harman Kardon AVR 147) is not HDMI 1.3, and so my audio is not HD but 48khz PCM through optical. Never mind, it still sounds incredible with my Polk Audio speaker set.
Also I just watched 2001: A Space Odyssey, and again, it was shockingly good. I've not tested its upscaling performance, but I also don't care too much about that. Now that I have this kind of Blu Ray picture available, everything else looks vanilla and I'm not really dying to have the absolute best vanilla available when I know I can have rainbow sorbet.
Does anyone know whether this player is compatible to other AV system. My old Panasonic Av system (SA-HE7)can't interpret the sound from the machine and only shown stereo rather than 5.1channel when playing Blue ray Disc ( on optical lead). it is very frustrating eventhough they are all make by Panasonic.
hi all new here i have got a pioneer kuro 42" and in process of getting sky hd we have a pioneer surround system dcs575 i think it is can i use this player to hook up to it for sound ? need help on this thanks all
@Ing I've got this player and I have it hooked up to my Pioneer via the optical link and its works just fine.
Hey Guys, we have this player just got a Yamaha HD amp and for love nor money we can not get HD audio, has there been a change in HDMI outputs that stops this player outputing HD audio to current Amps?

It wouldn't be a Christmas album without some famous Jews.
Following in the grand tradition of Irving "White Christmas" Berlin, Barbra Streisand and Kenny G will contribute their musical talents to a high-profile album honoring the December holiday (or, as we like to call it, "the Christian Hanukkah").
While the collection — simply titled "This Christmas" — will principally be a reunion record for "Grease" co-stars John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, Streisand and G will each perform on one track. Streisand, who's already got a very Jewish movie coming out Christmas Day, will join Travolta and Newton-John for "I'll Be Home for Christmas." For his part, G (ne Gorelick) will add some sax appeal to "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," written by Jewish composer Johnny Marks back in 1958.
Despite the album's Christian inspiration, the Jewish performers can count it as a mitzva — proceeds will be donated to Travolta and Newton-John's charities, which fight children's disabilities and cancer, respectively.
Other celebrity participants include Tony Bennett and James Taylor.
Entertainment Weekly predicts — probably accurately — that the collection will prove "fantastically cheesy." From the people who sang this song, we'd expect nothing less.

The Hidden Meaning Behind Buffett's Hiring: Alice SchroederAlice Schroeder
Sept. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Sometimes the cutesiness of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is part of its endearing charm. Sometimes it is a minor quirk to be brushed aside. Occasionally, it can mislead, as happened this week when Warren Buffett's favorite scribe, Carol J. Loomis of Fortune magazine, began her insider's report on the hiring of 50-year-old Ted Weschler, the founder of Peninsula Capital Advisors LLC, as a Berkshire investment manager. She wrote: "It is surely unprecedented for a person to spend $5,252,722 to get a job, but in a funny way, that is precisely what Ted Weschler, of Charlottesville, Virginia, did."
At first blush, the Fortune description of the Weschler hiring wasn't at all inspiring: A "cute meet" in which Weschler twice spent millions to win a charity auction for a meal with Buffett. At 81, the Berkshire chairman and chief executive officer is beginning to delegate his responsibilities for investing the company's $100 billion portfolio to as many as three money managers. Those meetings led directly to Buffett offering Weschler one of the most prestigious jobs in asset management. "I should have bid higher," a few people joked at a meeting of asset managers that I attended this week.
Weschler (pronounced WESH-ler) will be winding down Peninsula and joining Berkshire early in 2012 as the second member of a team launched last October, when the Omaha, Nebraska-based company announced the hiring of Todd Combs of Castle Point Capital Management LLC.
Understated Qualifications
It's not the first time that Buffett has hired someone who happened to be smart (or aggressive) enough to seek him out. He did it with Combs as well. This time, though, the manner of meeting was incidental. And Berkshire wound up with someone whose qualifications, if anything, have been understated.
Weschler may be the most important hire Buffett has made in decades. He isn't just an investor, though his $2 billion portfolio returned 1,236 percent to Peninsula investors over 11 years. "He plays all the instruments in the orchestra," says Steve Blaine, who served on the board of Virginia National Bank with Weschler.
He does, in fact, cover all the bases: finding acquisitions, financing them, overseeing management of acquired companies, designing their compensation, allocating capital of the entity that owns the businesses, and understanding lending and credit markets from a bank's perspective. He also knows how to finance acquisitions in special situations such as bankruptcies; manage long-tailed risks like his former employer W.R. Grace & Co.'s asbestos liability; and control equity-portfolio risk in a volatile market using positioning, derivatives and moderate leverage.
'Special Sauce'
Although Weschler officially left private equity 11 years ago, he continues to invest in numerous businesses personally, and has served on the boards of two regional banks. This breadth of experience enables him to see, for example, how cash-flow, inventory and capital-expenditure trends will affect equity holdings in the funds he manages.
The same kind of information flow is critical to Buffett's "special sauce," which has made his investing results so hard to copy. In fact, Weschler's background and skills resemble Buffett's pretty broadly, enough so that it begs the question of whether his role will be limited to investing.
Weschler is known for being self-effacing and private. Even some people close to him in the Charlottesville business community weren't aware that he had won the auctions to meet Buffett. He is an important and generous philanthropist in the local community, but often gives anonymously. (People associated with two beneficiaries begged me to keep the names of the recipients out of this column.)
Bid to Meet
He bid on the auction simply because he wanted to meet Buffett, whose career he has studied for years. When they met, their conversation went on at such length -- given the things they have in common -- and in such an unexpected direction that Buffett decided to pursue hiring Weschler. In an unprecedented act of consultation that is a much-needed step forward in Berkshire's governance process, Buffett also introduced Weschler to members of his family and Berkshire's board before making the announcement.
Involvement by the board is a very welcome sign of progress. The press release announcing Weschler's new role contained some other subtle signs that changes at Berkshire may be forthcoming. Buffett himself wasn't quoted. The statement said he will continue to manage most of Berkshire's $100 billion of funds "until his retirement."
Subtle Cues
This is the first time, as far as I can tell, that it has ever been confirmed that Buffett would retire, instead of trying to outwork Rose Blumkin, who ran Berkshire's Nebraska Furniture Mart until age 103.
The press release contains another tantalizing hint. Twice, it refers to the period "after Mr. Buffett no longer serves as CEO." These cues are subtle -- way too subtle to mean anything definitive. But it makes me wonder whether, at some point, Buffett is going to appoint a CEO while retaining the nonexecutive-chairman role.
That would be a move the business world has definitely not been expecting. It's also one that may make sense, for Buffett as well as Berkshire. He would remain the company's most valuable asset -- making the phone calls that get those lucrative deals done, playing the world's economic statesman, and flattering business owners into selling their companies to Berkshire. Meanwhile, Weschler and Combs would have the primary responsibility for investing Berkshire's $10 billion a year of cash flow and constantly compounding pool of assets -- in the most turbulent market since the 1930s.
Impeccable Timing
I might be wrong about the nonexecutive-chairman role. What is more important is Buffett's impeccable sense of timing. Throughout his career, he has had an almost uncanny way of anticipating what the market will do next. He closed his investment partnership in 1970 before stocks were laid to waste, shorted stocks at times when the market overheated, diversified into bonds when the Internet bubble was peaking, and in one form or another, has called every market crash that took place during his career.
So it's significant that Buffett has begun the transition to a new investing team, whether he remains CEO in the years ahead or not. Buffett is taking his hands off the reins of the portfolio. Hiring a manager of Weschler's caliber is an important signal. The transfer of power won't happen overnight, but its magnitude is something to ponder for those who are interested in the markets. Meanwhile, we get to watch a new story, featuring new players, unfolding at Berkshire Hathaway.

The relationship between a chair and a chief executive has many similarities with the relationship between a public body and its sponsoring department in central government.
Both types of relationship require many of the same ingredients to make them work. There are four traits in particular that stand out to me:
The right governance
At the Criminal Cases Review Commission, we made it our priority to carry out an early review of corporate governance; this led to improved leadership and staff engagement, as well as a better relationship with sponsors. The specific roles and responsibilities of the chair and the chief executive were made clear to everyone, together with the roles of the board and its sub-committees and how they related to the department. This helped demonstrate accountability and allowed different individuals and people to focus on what they needed to.
Understanding and respect for each person or organisation's expertise
This is a theme that often comes up when I talk to fellow chief executives of public bodies, who are frustrated by an apparent lack of understanding of the operational delivery environment that many public bodies inhabit. It can be frustrating dealing with people who have had a career in policy and struggle to understand the more practical aspects of making something happen and micro manage as a result.
But this is a two way street; as a delivery organisation, we have a duty to educate our sponsors with non-operational backgrounds to understand this better. And much in the same way, we should be trying to understand the drivers and pressures felt by central departments. This can also be applied to the relationship between the chief executive and chair; I have noticed how important it is to understand one another's previous experience, as expectations of these roles can differ from organisation to organisation and from sector to sector.
Shared understanding of risk appetite and what success looks like
When managing risk, I see a shared understanding of appetite as one of the key ways of making sure both the chair and chief executive, or organisation and department are on the same page. This might be reputational risk when handling the media, willingness to innovate and do things differently or how much information is shared with staff and stakeholders. Working these things out and understanding where each other is coming from makes day to day decision making easier as well as the bigger strategic ones.
Honest and open communication and a sense of humour
As with much of working life, the ability to give and receive open and honest feedback really does help relationships. When I look at the most successful relationships I have had, high levels of trust feature very strongly. I would put the Parole Board and its sponsor relationship with the Ministry of Justice in this category; this has meant that as an incoming chief executive, I have had frank and honest discussions with sponsors about what I have found, and about their perceptions, and together we have been able to very quickly move on to delivering positive improvements.
Claire Bassett is chief executive of the Parole Board, appointed in April 2012. Prior to this she was chief executive of the Criminal Cases Review Commission. She will be speaking on a panel at the Public Chairs' Forum's annual conference on 21 November.

The best spots in NSW
09/11/2012 , 4:30 PM by Jen Lacey
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who phoned in, sent a text, tweeted and emailed me about those wonderful, magic parts of NSW that make your heart sing.
It all started on Tuesday when I posed the question – can you name the best beach in NSW?
An awful question, I know, kinda like asking which one's your favourite child?
But the responses flooded in from our Statewide listeners.
And they stretched from one end of the state to the other: Wategos, Crescent Head, Port Kembla, Mystics, Tuross Head beaches – the list was long!
Not to be outdone, the Inland audience fought back on Thursday.
The challenge: where is the best spot along the Great Dividing Range or West of it?
Again – switchboard meltdown.
Tumut, Kandos-Rylestone, Goulburn, Armidale and even Ariah Park!
It was terrific fun and maybe you'd like to continue the conversation by commenting below.
As for me – I love that gorgeous stretch of sand that runs from the bar at Merimbula to the Pambula River mouth. (That's where I am in the photo above)
And west of the divide? Orange… no, Armidale… umm, Millthorpe?
Too hard - like picking a favourite child!
Have a lovely weekend,

Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (1.5 Liter Magnum) 2000
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
Original Wine Note:Overall, the 2000 Napa Valley growing season was very cool and moderate, save for a few advantageous warm spells. Bud-break and fruit-set was normal. Moderately warm, sunny days from June to September kept the clusters' development on-track through a pleasant summer. By the time he assembled the final blend, he knew each lot's best characteristics and chose to build a solid core of fruit and ripe tannins from Steinhauer Ranch and Rancho del Oso on Howell Mountain, with small amounts of St. Helena and Bancroft Ranch for added lushness. Finally, he added almost ten percent Cabernet Franc from Steinhauer Ranch. 2007 Tasting Note:
Black cherry, black currant
Cedar, sassafras, cocoa, mint, sweet oak spice.
Very balanced wine.
Less herbal characteristics than 99.
Lighter, pretty elegant character.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "Sweet black currant, blueberry and raspberry fruit intermixed with crushed rock and floral aromas jump from the glass of this sleeper of the vintage. The wine's saturated purple color, heady, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel and supple tannins result in a delicious, nearly fully mature Cabernet Sauvignon that can be enjoyed over the next 10-15 years."
Beringer Vineyards
No winery or vineyard more thoroughly embodies the timeless appeal and seductive flavor of Napa Valley than Beringer Vineyards, Napa's benchmark producer since the establishment of the vineyard in 1876.
Now in its third century of crafting classic wines from Napa's finest appellations and vineyards, Beringer today is guided by the inspired partnership of celebrated Winemaster Emeritus Ed Sbragia and Winemaker Laurie Hook. Together, they craft Napa Valley wines that speak eloquently of the rich heritage of the Beringer Vineyard, while offering cutting-edge quality and contemporary elegance. The exquisite wines crafted at the Beringer Vineyards display a single minded dedication and pursuit of excellence instilled by its founder, Jacob Beringer. View all Beringer Vineyards Wines
About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country unto itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

IN A remote wilderness bordered by sheep country and plunging cliffs, big brother is watching the locals' every move.
Their faces are captured on infrared cameras in the night, their movements tracked by satellite, notations are made on their daily meals, and traps lie in shallow hollows beneath the dirt to catch them unawares.
Most of the wild residents of Oxley Wild Rivers National Park, near Walcha east of Tamworth, have dingo blood. And they are part of an annual $16 million problem for farmers and the environment in NSW that leaves sheep torn and bloodied in paddocks across the state, and native animals reduced to grab-and-go meals for dogs and foxes.
But in this bit of country, the wild dogs have names - Tim Owen, Debbie Donna, Buck Too, Stinky Too - and they are unwittingly teaching pest researchers how to manage their population.
''One of the advantages that dogs have is they work in a social group. They will come together to hunt larger prey [such as horses, large pigs and cows],'' said the Department of Primary Industries wild dog and fox management project officer, Guy Ballard.
''They often start pulling an animal apart before it's died … People see what dogs do as evil and cruel … [but] they don't mean to do it.''
Since this leg of the research program began in early April near Walcha, primary industries and national parks workers have captured six dogs, 10 foxes and three feral cats in traps that have lined jaws to reduce injury.
Rather than use meat to lure the dogs - which could also attract native animals - dog urine and, sometimes, a paste made of various dog parts is sprinkled on the ground.
Four of the dogs caught in the past month in Oxley Wild Rivers park have had global positioning system collars fitted, enabling researchers to monitor where they travel.
Surprisingly, Dr Ballard said, wild dogs walked great distances, sometimes squatting 30 kilometres from their base for a few weeks before returning to their home hunting ground.
Sensor cameras have been installed on trees and posts in the forest to monitor behaviour.
While farmers in other parts of the country, such as Western Australia, have called for the reintroduction of ''scalp bounties'' to keep wild dog numbers down, the NSW research funded by Australian Wool Innovation and the Invasive Animals Co-operative Research Centre is designed to improve aerial baiting systems and assess the usefulness of dog-proof fences.
Yesterday, WoolProducers Australia, described wild dogs as ''the biggest threat to the growth and sustainability of the national sheep flock''.

|TXS The first part of your earlier post I simply did not understand and the second part of your post is not worthy of comment (I apologize for my previous comment) because it's really not worthy of you.

"In the past, we have relied on a percentage of Cuba's gross domestic product to estimate Fidel Castro's fortune," the article stated. "This year we have used more traditional valuation methods, comparing state-owned assets Castro is assumed to control with comparable publicly traded companies."
The magazine said Castro "derives his fortune from a web of state-owned businesses," including a convention center and retail and pharmaceutical businesses.
I think Forbes takes the position the if Castro is the state the wealth of the state is his.
Please remember that ad hominim attacks are not really refutation of the argument but are instead revelations of the lack of ability to logically respond to the subject matter of the argument.
|Castro does not have much longer to live and it does not matter how rich anyone is, we all end up the same, worm food.
|I read recently that Fidel Castro is among the richest men in the entire world. Wonder how & why?
|Good post CD hope we don't loose you even for a little while. We need you on this forum for the help you give.
(I apologize in advance for the many misspellings & the multiple postings. I wanted to make sure that he got it, though...)
I am amazed. I am really amazed at some of the the things you have said. Why do you say things like that?
It is obvious to me that you have the maturity level of someone about 15 years old. I have not cruised as much as many people on this forum, but quite a bit. The one common theme we all have had is the ability to get together and have fun. We don't see nationalities or scream about George Bush, or whatever. I love my country. It does have problems, many of them. But let me tell you one thing about the typical AMerican you so quickly have addressed as worthless & uneducated, we care for people and we try to do the right thing. THe right thing does not always turn out correctly. The right thing is not always easy. But better to try and fail than never to try at all. Right now, as we speak, there are Americans losing their lives or being seriously wounded in a country that is not theirs, for a people that I am not sure even care about them (or each other). To even insinuate that they (troops) are over there doing mass murder is ******** (excuses my language). I do not doubt that there are a lot of special interst groups/people with hidden agendas - what war has not had them? But 99.99% of AMericans and I would wager 100% of the troops are over there because they believe in what they are doing to try and help others. They have integrity and care for human life. I support our soldiers other there 110% - regarless of GB or whether the war can ever be won. Any of you soldiers (whether British, Aussie, or any other nationality and especially AMERICAN) reading this, thank you for what you do. And understand one more thing: I did not say I want the war or George Bush.
I love Canadians, and Canada, and Cuba. I have met some awesome people in Jamaica, Brazil, and sooo many other countries... and never once have any of them even slightly shared the anamosity you have. You embarrass your self and you embarrass your country. America and Canada have been friends for a very long time.
The problem with the internet is that people will say things here that they would NEVER say in person. As for you, Waverider, let me just tell you that you will be the most lonely person in the most crowded anchorage. Read this very carefully, if you read nothing else: Cruising is about understanding different people and differnet cultures and coming closer to nature and what life really is all about. That is what I have tried to instill in my children, and still do. Too bad you did not learn that. Maybe there is still time... or it will be the quickest cruise you ever heard of. ANd if you hate my coutry and my people sooooo much, than don't use our technology, don't cross our borders, and stay out of our waters. Sound inconvenient? Too freaking bad. You can sail to Cuba by way of the North Pole for all I care. Tell Hugo Chavez hello on your way through.
I have spent wayyyyyy too much time on this forum when I could have been doing other things with my kids and wife or spending it just for myself. I did it because I have tried to help people & because I care about other people and cruisers in general. We share a common theme and the one thing I have always loved about sailors is thier lack of recognition of governments as what defines a country & its people. That concept, Waverider, is obviously beyond your comprehension too.
You have offended me and coutless others to be sure... and I bet they are not all American. Quite candidly, if you were one of my kids and I caught you writing some crap like you have in this and other threads, you would get a really good spanking and get grounded until you came to appreciate other people and other cultures. WHy you think it is funny to intentionally try and hurt people is beyond me. It is against anything I have ever seen in sailing or cruising.
That being said, enough time here. After re-reading through this and becoming increasingly frustrated that any of the information I have ever typed could help someone like you, l think I will start spending more time with my family and espcially my kids. Maybe I will let them re-read some of the things you have wrote so that they might learn how not to act... but then again, I think they have already learned most of that. I am done with Sailnet for a while, maybe longer.
PS Waverider, if you are a minor, as I suspect, I do apologize about the small profanity... but that is it. Change your life and see if you can find a friend.
|Hey Txs. One of the many great things about being Canadian is that you don't really need to care what some guy from Texas thinks or doesn't think about your country. You just know that it is a great country and that it truly stands for many of the things that America puports to. You should visit sometime if the boss will let you!
TXS, what are you trying to say?
Don't show your ignorance when it comes to world politics. US education is sorrily lacking on anything going on outside its borders. Its would be best if you kept your erroneous ideas to yourself than prove how badly you have been eduacated.
As for waverunner he's a Leaf fan - enough said. Go Sens Go

TXS - You were a judge, correct? You ever precide over anything like that?
As to Waverider's comments on the US and Bush, I wonder why no one ever thinks of Canada as an important country? Could it be that they stand for nothing?

2 minutes with Alexia Dranidi08 mai 2017
If you were lucky enough to visit our new Syvota centre last year you probably would've met our lovely manager Alexia Dranidi. This is actually Lexi's third year teaching yoga at Healthy Options and second year as manager of our Syvota centre. Her yoga journey began in her late teens when she first started attending a yoga class regularly. But it wasn't until a decade later that her teacher encouraged and invited her to join a yoga teacher training course in to deepen her practice.Weiterlesen

Most of us use Facebook every day without a second thought, checking out pictures of family and friends.
But what if someone was hijacking those photos and pretended they were you? That's what one local family said has been happening to them for years and there's not much that can be done about it.
We've been told before once you put it online, it's there forever.
For Morgan Pentecost, posting pictures to Facebook has turned into a nightmare.
Someone has created nearly a dozen profiles on just about every social media site you can think of using her pictures.
Morgan Pentecost is just like any other teenager, she has a Facebook page and loves to post fun pictures with her friends.
But despite taking precautions to try to make those pictures private, someone has managed to pull numerous photos from Morgan's Facebook account and use them for nearly a dozen other social media sites.
You'll see Morgan's pictures show up on two Facebook pages that recently popped up. Go to albums and you'll see even more pictures of her. But whoever is behind these profiles uses different names.
Morgan and her mother said this has been going on since she was 15.
"Anybody can portray her. It's extremely concerning," said Karen Pentecost, Morgan's mother.
Morgan and her mom said they have filed reports with the White House Police Department, as well as Facebook. But the problem hasn't stopped.
Police told us they investigated it when the Pentecosts first brought it to their attention last year. They traced one of the accounts back to a 14-year-old girl in Georgia and found she wasn't doing anything illegal.
The Pentecosts said they just want it to stop. They worry the Facebook cloning not only puts Morgan in danger, but also could damage her reputation.
Channel 4 News tried to contact the users of those Facebook pages. One would not allow messaging, the other has not responded to our request.
The Sumner County District Attorney's office said in Tennessee for something like this to be identity theft, someone would have to use your likeness for monetary gain and it's not considered stalking unless someone contacts you repeatedly.

With a population of more than 12m people, Moscow and its suburbs are steadily expanding - with more and more plans for agglomerations and satellite towns to house the still-growing number of inhabitants.
Arup has been involved in several urban development projects in Russia, but the Voskresenskoe masterplanning project was one of the most ambitious.
Arup was approached by 'Olympic City' developers to provide masterplanning, urban design, transport planning, highways and utilities strategy, as well as environmental coordination and sustainability advice for the proposed Voskresenskoe development.
Situated on 1,200ha of agricultural land to the south of Moscow, the objective was to create a new sustainable settlement comprising residential, retail, commercial (including an Expo Centre) and leisure development.
The leisure facilities include a golf academy and high quality golf course. The total development area is around ten million square metres.
Arup provided all services necessary to develop a sustainable masterplan - promoting an eco-friendly project and enabling the developers to prepare cost estimates and a sound business plan for submission for regulatory approvals.
The project was completed in 2007.
We evolve with the changing aspirations and challenges of developers, owners and occupants.
We create desirable places to live, while seeking smarter solutions for all.
Creation of an ecological city of 13,000 homes.
Sustainable development with high quality public transport, walking and cycling networks.
A new town on the western boundary of Moscow encompassing 420 hectares.
A series of interconnected urban villages and employment districts.
Revision of a traditional water and flood control plan to free land and cut costs.
The 1,200ha settlement comprises residential, retail, commercial and leisure facilities.
