Autism Awareness Month
My Son's Autism Cure
We joined worlds again
–Leeann Whiffen
By age 2, my son had vanished. There was no siren, fire bell, or whistle to warn us of the impending disappearance perpetrated by the thief in the night called autism. Our once outgoing, social, happy baby was taken – piece by piece. His eye contact went first, his obsession with round objects controlled his mind, and finally, he stopped calling me mom. An eerie emptiness filled his eyes; tantrums dominated his behavior.
Grief drowned logic. Denial hid fear. Anger propelled me into action.
In an intense evaluation, the pediatric psychiatrist shouted my son's name. Nothing. He never looked up. The doctor slammed his fist on the table where my son sat. I jumped. Still nothing. Not even a flinch. The doctor frantically scrawled notes on his yellow pad looking up briefly to tell us, "Your son has pervasive developmental disorder – not otherwise specified."
The room fell quiet. Then the curtain came down. His fate – sealed.
My inherent need to find my son dictated a quest to fight the invisible nothingness that took him from us. The one that had no rules, no boundaries. I ravenously researched any treatment that might help him. Soon I became fluent in the language of autism – behavior therapy, biomedical treatment, poop consistencies. Any inhibitions seemed to fade as I began the climb – alongside many other autism parents – one of the highest mountains in the world. The only thing we carried on the trek: hope.
Charting our course, we immediately implemented an early intense behavior therapy program, ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis), followed by biomedical treatments that included nutritional supplementation, an organic diet free of gluten and casein (wheat & dairy), chelation therapy (removal of heavy metals), and RDI (Relationship Development Intervention).
Many days were black, finances were low, therapy programs not mastered. Hope dangled in front of me, but was out of reach. Then I would catch glimpses of the light flickering in his eyes. It was enough to scrape together whatever means possible to carry on for just one more day. I found courage in watching other autism moms persevere and strength when I saw their successes.
When we danced, I often caught fleeting peeks of the son I used to know. He wouldn't look at me until we started to spin, our right hands clasped together. We spun and spun until his eyes eventually locked onto mine. He broke into a smile, and I took a picture in my mind to save forever. Then, not being able to withstand the drunk-like dizziness, we fell onto the sofa and watched the room whirl all around.
As weeks grew into months and behavioral and biomedical treatments continued, I noticed the flicker in his eyes burned a little longer. One word turned into three, then four words or more. Smiles became more frequent. The day I told him he was my star and he replied, "you're my triangle," I laughed. He laughed. And it was then I knew we had joined worlds.
The day a neuropsychologist, after three exhaustive hours of testing, told me "he no longer meets the criteria for an autism diagnosis, and I've never been able to say those words to anyone – not in my entire career," I felt a joy I had never known.
It was official. My son had recovered from autism.
As I watched him walk into his classroom on the first day of kindergarten, his backpack bouncing behind him, I marveled at the miracle, the gift, and vowed to pay it forward.
In February, we walked hand in hand up the hundreds of steps to the Utah State Capitol building where we testified to the Senate Health and Human Services Committee in support of Senate Bill 43, "Clay's Law," named after my son, that would require private insurance companies to pay for medically necessary treatment for autism. It passed the committee, then the senate, but failed in the house. I sat in silence after hearing the discouraging news. Clay leaned over and whispered in my ear, "it's ok mom, because we'll never give up."
We will keep fighting – statewide and federally. There are too many futures at stake.
My son escaped the unrelenting grip of autism. Today, he is a typical 8-year old boy who loves playing basketball with his friends at recess. He recently took third place in a boys state gymnastics meet, and he's an avid fan of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid book series. I don't worry about his future. But I do worry about the future of our country if we do not help those affected by autism.
I'll never leave the club in which I was once initiated. We climb together with our hope clutched tightly, our eyes fixed on the peaks ahead.

"It's hard to really get excited about stickers, but these are actually pretty impressive They're made out of a study fabric-based paper that's really hard to tear (we tried), and it can also be applied many times on various surfaces, like walls and glass. You can roll the sticker up in a ball, and it will pull apart without any lasting damage. [..] It becomes clear that these are truly some high grade stickers ."
"Unlike posters, LTL's gigantic prints don't tear easily and have a special adhesive that makes it possible to pull the graphic down and re-apply. They come in every imaginable design and the biggest prints are over 7 feet tall, but be careful: It takes a special kind of nerd to hang up a 7-foot cartoon Captain Kirk in his room. "
"Rather than using vinyl, LTLprints is printing on a premium material that is called 'self-adhesive repositionable fabric paper', and will stick to almost any surface (walls, windows, even ceilings), and can be removed and re-hung 100 times without leaving a mark or damaging your walls."
"Wall decor's an easy way to take a room to whole a new level. Take care of your walls and margin of error, with LTL Prints. Philly-based LTL creates oversized self-adhesive wall decals printed on seamless sheets of fabric paper that can be hung, re-positioned & removed 100 times without leaving behind any residue. LTLprints features an online virtual catalog that draws from a library of more than 8 million images, all of which LTL scales up or down to your size specifications, prints on demand, and ships within 48 hours. "
"The order came and it was everything we had hoped for. I just want to say from a personal level
that your team did an awesome job on my print and I was very happy with the overall service. I have
already recommended you all to several of my friends and I will be a customer for a very long time.
Thank you....Thank you and Thank you."
--Jennifer R. S., St. Petersburg, FL

LEADING charity Macmillan Cancer Support paid out almost £95,000 in grants to cancer patients struggling to cope with their fuel bills in the Mid Devon area. The charity paid out £94,879 to 343 homeowners, more than 35% of whom were given grants towards heating bills totalling £19,890.
These figures back up recent Macmillan research showing around 27,000 cancer patients in the UK could be behind with paying their fuel bills and owe providers as much as £2.8million in overdue payments.
Fuel bills often rise because cancer patients are spending more time at home and often feel colder because of their illness.
David Crosby of Macmillan Cancer Support, said: "While most of us were enjoying the festive period, cancer patients were clearly in desperate need of financial support. These figures and our recent research show just how much of a problem keeping up with fuel bills is for cancer patients – especially as the weather is set to get colder.
"Cancer patients need to put their energy into getting better. Instead many are living in cold homes anxious about how they're going to cope with rocketing fuel bills."
The second highest request for grants during this period was for clothing. Macmillan's previous research showed that one in three (34%) cancer patients have to put on outdoor clothes indoors to try to keep warm. To inquiry about obtaining financial help from the charity, call 0808 808 00 00 or visit www.macmillan.org.uk/heating.

text: I've noticed that the Chargriller Pro sold at Lowes has a shorter but wider and deeper cooking area than my old Pitmaster. Has anyone made any modifications to their unit to take advantage of the depth and smoked on two levels rather than just the surface grates? I figured you could probably smoke shoulders or briskets below and reserve the top for later addition of ribs.

Bhakti with Reiki Energy Massage
I combine Bhakti style massage with Reiki energy. In other words, you receive a slow - flowing - glide that is God centered.
This experience, which can be adjusted to suit your preferences, starts with a scalp massage and then moves to the feet and calf area. The head and feet as well as the hands and ears contain nerve endings that have their beginnings throughout the rest of the body. By working the scalp and feet first, I relax and ready the rest of the body for the massage.
Next comes the Bhakti flow. A handful of warm Biotone massage lotion will be spread over the entire back of the body, from the base of your neck down to your toes and then back again. Constant movement, pressure (individual) and pace (slow) will be used to induce a deep state of relaxation on both sides of the body.
A great sound system, aroma therapy, warm room, hot packs and hot towels are included for your enjoyment.

where com is an array list of computer name
the file look something like "capacity_DTCP-TSAIME002_20130512.csv"
At the moment it compare every file with the string(name)
like this
- Code: Select all
for com in comList:
path = 'D:\\StatsScript\\download\\AppStats'
for files in os.walk('.'):
for file in files[2]:
if ( str(file).lower() == ("capacity_" + com + "_" + str(d.strftime('%Y%m%d')) + ".csv" ).lower() ):
infile = csv.reader(open(file,"r"))
fb = open(file,"r")
Since I know the exact name of the coputer
e.g. comList = ['US1S-TSDAAPP01', 'US1S-TSDAAPP02', 'US1S-TSDAAPP03', 'US1S-TSDAAPP04']
Im want to do something like this
path = 'D:\\StatsScript\\download\\AppStats\\"capacity_" + com + "_" + str(d.strftime('%Y%m%d')) + ".csv'
which might make my program run faster, however it doesn't let me use this kind of syntax.

HOUSTON - Are you a dog or a cat person? Your answer may tell a lot about your personality, according to a University of Texas study.
UT psychologist Sam Gosling found that those who call themselves "dog people" are more extraverted, more agreeable and more conscientious than self-described "cat people."
Those who prefer cats are more neurotic, but also more open than their canine-loving counterparts.
"This research suggests there are significant differences on major personality traits between dog people and cat people," Gosling said. "Given the tight psychological connections between people and their pets, it is likely that the differences between dogs and cats may be suited to different human personalities."
As part of the research at the University of Texas, 4,565 volunteers were asked whether they were dog people, cat people, neither or both. The same group was given a 44-item assessment that measured them on the so-called Big Five personality dimensions psychologists often use to study personalities.
According to the findings:
- Forty-six percent of respondents described themselves as dog people, while 12 percent said they were cat people. Almost 28 percent said they were both and 15 percent said they were neither.
- Dog people were generally about 15 percent more extraverted, 13 percent more agreeable and 11 percent more conscientious than cat people.
- Cat people were generally about 12 percent more neurotic and 11 percent more open than dog people.

A musician is going head to head against X Factor this year for the coveted Christmas Number One – but says he still wishes Jahmene Douglas all the best for the competition.
Singer songwriter Gaz Brookfield, 33, has been a fixture on the Swindon pub circuit since 2006 and will be releasing his single, Diet of Banality, on December 16 in a bid to keep Simon Cowell off the top spot.
The single, which is a folk punk rant against mainstream celebrity culture, will be available to buy from iTunes, Amazon and 7Digital.
Gaz, of Wroughton, said: "Every Christmas there is the battle for the number one spot in the charts, and every year the choices get less, well, choosable.
"Bieber or Talent show pawns seem to be the only choice these days, unless a well-meaning internet chap or chappette rallies the troops and gets everyone to buy Rage Against The Machine, or something – which, while commendable, isn't really addressing the issue of getting new art out there.
"The way I see it, if the RATM thing can work, then why can't this? I am a totally DIY musician. I have no label, management, promotion company, publishing company, distribution company, or even any money worth mentioning."
Before going solo in 2006, Gaz was in the popular Swindon band Durera, and he later went on to become the first ever unsigned solo act to sell out The Fleece in Bristol.
He was the winner of Acoustic Magazine UK's Singer/Songwriter Competition in 2010 and has also played with the likes of Newton Faulkner, Frank Turner, Nik Kershaw, Mark Morris (Bluetones),Pete Doherty and Dave McPherson (InMe).
And although he may be going up against X Factor hopeful Jahmene, who is tipped to get through to the final three in the competition, Gaz said he was still proud to see a Swindon lad doing well.
He said: "I wish him all the luck. The release of my single has nothing to do with him personally, it's just about demonstrating that other musicians can be in with a shot at the Christmas Number One, without the aid of Cowell."
Diet of Banality is from Gaz's first album, Trial and Error. Visit www.gazbrookfield.com.
Builder is in the running too
A SWINDON builder is also hoping he proves to be a contender in the race for this year's Christmas Number One.
Colm McCarthy, alias Puff Paddy, is releasing a festive tune and will be donating 25 per cent of the funds to the charity Christmas Care, which helps homeless people in the town over the festive period.
The singer, of Akers Way, is launching the single at a charity gig on December 16 at the Moonrakers pub in Stratton from 2pm.
Tickets are £6 on the door and other guests on the night include Rapper 8, The Hippie Club, The Stokers, Benji Clements, Myles Angel and Daine Angel.

Hear Tracie Hotchner's Thoughts on Pro BloomSee what Tracie Hotchner, pet expert and radio host, thinks about Pro Bloom!
True Story: Sadie and BuckieI don't do this (meaning write a letter singing the praises of a product), but I thought I really needed to tell you. I have 2 rescue pugs that are older and were not in great health to begin with.
True Story: Sarge and BellaHi! I just wanted to say thank you for your product. It literally saved my dogs, who was on the brink of dying. My two Rottweiler's were so sick, throwing up every bite of their kibble. They had both been at the perfect weight, and each lost about 15 pounds each. I cried so many times because I thought I was going to lose them.
True Story: Finn
Hello Honest Kitchen,
I'm writing to let you know how Thrive saved myself and Finn.
True Stories: JeepersWe have a senior foster rescue dog who is probably 14 years old (it's hard to know for sure!) who we've been fostering, he is so picky with his food. We had tried everything!
True Story: TuckerI have a 14 1/2 year old cat with grain allergies. So no rice, corn, barley, oats, wheat. Which is what the main ingredients of most commercial pet foods. Because of his limited diet, I was happy to find Prowl.
True Story: CopperIt has now been 9 months since Copper's horrific, chronic bladder problems and since I took him off the prescription garbage prescribed by my vet (which gave him horrible diarrhea and left him susceptible to a whole new batch of garbage-food related health concerns) and I could not be more thrilled. This food is a life-saver!!!
Puppy Feeding time!I have a litter of 4 that is being raised on Thrive - my second litter. I can't speak highly enough of it- all of the sporadic upset tummy issues from litters in the past are GONE. It makes cleaning the whelping box several times a day a LOT more pleasant experience.
True Stories: Monkey DoodleThe best thing about the Honest Kitchen Thrive is it's high calorie and already fairly smooth in texture and only requires a quick grind in the food processor to make it great for the Megaesophagus dogs. And the best part is that you can add or subtract the amount of water you need to make it whatever consistency you need.
True Stories: LugosiI rescued a young Boston Terrier that I named Lugosi and a year later my housemate left the back door open in a blizzard and Lugosi got out and a snow plow severed off his front leg. I was driven to the emergency vet in a police car in a blizzard. The amputation surgery for his front leg, plus he severed off the pads on his back foot, cost me over $6,000.

I am extremely new to Python but discovered that I need it in order to programme my Digi ConnectPort TS1W MEI gateway. What I want to do is read from the serial port periodically then send this data wirelessly to the nearest access point. What I have started with is trying to open, read, write and close the serial port, and I have found the following sample code online:
- Code: Select all
serfd = os.open( '/com/0', os.O_RDWR | os.O_NONBLOCK)
( ... handle port in use or invalid name ... )
data = os.read( serfd, max_bytes)
except OSError, e:
if( e.errno == errno.EAGAIN): # EAGAIN just means NO data ready, try again
( ... handle NO data received or response timeout here ... )
else: # other errors
( ... handle port faults - likely fatal ... )
traceback.print_exc() # make sure you show the user what error was
count = os.write( serfd, data)
( ... handle port faults - likely fatal ... )
os.close( serfd)
pass # ignore errors here
Would anyone be able to give me any tips on how to complete the script that I would need to carry out the simple process that I've mentioned? Or if anyone could point to the place I could find some helpful sample code, as my Google searches have not yet proved to be very fruitful. Cheers

Maybe I should have stated I am looking for a venue to have the ceremony and reception all in one. Thank you for the Congrats!
I started my wedding planning and it's already giving me a headache. We have a very small budget. Does anyone have any referrals or ideas?
I have been trying to find ways to lessen the cost of my wedding as we were very over budget. I decided to look for cheaper wedding bands. Luckily after a lot of searching I found cobalt wedding bands which were much cheaper and just as pretty as the platinum rings were had been looking at.

You might want to see you BIOS and acheck if there is an option about using UEFI or Legacy Bios. Choose Legacy and install BT5..Otherwise, you might want to erase all partitions using Gparted.
Delete all partitions and Create a new partition with filesystem ms-dos. Then apply changes..Now the new partition is a MBR partition, not UEFI..Then start installing all OS you want...
You can do that under your own risk..This method has been tested in some spanish forums with ubuntu distro live CD and gparted..
Again, you can loose all data (well, if no personal data still saved it would not matter)...Also reporting when installing again Windows 7, they had the GPT partitioon table back and the rest of distros installed became a headache...They recommend installing Win7 from a USB...

Maddon sets rotation with no surprises
SARASOTA, Fla. -- Joe Maddon announced the order of the Rays' rotation Thursday night and the Rays manager had no surprises.
Beyond the previously annouced Opening Day starter David Price, the order will be: Alex Cobb, Matt Moore, Chris Archer and Jake Odorizzi.
"Very mundane," Maddon teased. "We looked at a bunch of things and just felt like playing it straight up is going to be fine. The schedule didn't necessarily show anything one way or the other, so we just played it straight up."
The fact that the order is what most felt it would be does not mean that the Rays took the decision lightly. Many different scenarios were taken into consideration.
"The little things you're looking at, you always look at," Maddon said. "There's left and right-handed back and forth, is one of the things. You're always looking at the guys you bet on to maybe pitch deeper into the game. And saving bullpens, and if you find a couple of guys back to back that you don't necessarily like, then you try and break that up. But we didn't see that. So we just played it straight."
Maddon was asked if he favored having the lefties, Price and Moore, split up by a right-hander like Cobb.
"It depends," Maddon said. "If you're playing a heavily left-handed team, then you want them both there.
"... [But] I don't see that as a big issue. I really don't. That's not a heavy part of it. But with us, I kind of think it's an easy get to put Cobb between those two guys."
Maddon noted that the entire rotation presents "pretty difficult to the other side."
"I'm certain other teams see our rotation come to town and they're not really pleased about it," Maddon said. "I mean there's a lot of teams we play that we hate seeing their rotation, too, because of how tough it's going to be. I think every time we send out the three or four starters, the other team looks at it and says that's pretty good."

text: Chicken pot pie always sounds homey, but this dish is a production. You have to cook and cut up a chicken, make a sauce, parcook vegetables, and all the while prepare, chill, and roll out pie crust. The folks at America's Test Kitchen wanted to streamline the dish and get it on the table in 90 minutes, tops. And they wanted a completely homemade pie (no prefab crust) full of tender, juicy chicken and bright vegetables. Watch the video here to see how they did it, and then visit America's Test Kitchen for the recipe (free registration required).

THE DISTRICT'S area dean has spoken of her 'overwhelming sadness' after hopes that women clergy could rise to the post of bishop were dashed.
The general synod of the Church of England voted narrowly against the appointment of women as bishops on Tuesday.
The measure was passed by the synod's houses of bishops and clergy, but was rejected by the house of laity.
The Reverend Joyce Smith, Epping Forest area dean, said: "For me when it came on the news there was just an immediate feeling of sadness.
"We had a deanery synod meeting on Tuesday night. There's an overwhelming feeling of sadness among us that this has happened and because we are not fully included then there's a sense of rejection.
"What I will be praying for is that the church would become as inclusive as possible as quickly as possible."
Rural dean for Ongar Reverend Toni Smith added: "The decision has been met with a sense of sadness and anger, not just by women clergy, but from our male colleagues also.
"There are many women who are still feeling isolated and rejected through an organisation which, to the person in the street, seems to have lost its vision, which is the vision Christ Himself gave."
The Right Reverend Stephen Cottrell, Bishop of Chelmsford and head of the Anglican church in Essex and East London, said he was 'hugely disappointed' at the outcome.
"The bishops voted 44 to 3 in favour. Forty-two out of 44 dioceses voted in favour," he said.
"It is clearly the mind of the Church of England that we have women bishops but for some reason our synodical structures cannot yet deliver this.
"Although I respect those who voted against, I continue to believe that this measure gave them ample provision.
"Please pray for the Church of England and especially for our women clergy who will feel a great sense of rejection as a result of this decision."

A Salmonella outbreak has now sickened 13 people in Minnesota, and state officials point to homemade Mexican-style cheese, queso fresco, as the likely culprit.
According to the Minnesota Health Department, multiple departments from across the state are working together to investigate the outbreak. Officials report that the cheese was made using raw milk and delivered to other friends and family.
It may have also been sold to the public on a Minneapolis street corner.
Of the 13 people who became ill with salmonellosis linked to the raw milk queso fresco, 10 required hospitalized but have since been released. Click here for the news release.
Minnesota Public Radio reports that health department epidemiologist Carlota Medus points that most queso fresco sold in the United States is made using pasteurized milk.
"Traditionally in Mexico it's not uncommon to find queso fresco made from raw milk. The majority of people in Minnesota are probably buying pasteurized product," Medus said. "But it's very possible that some people want to go back to a more traditional cheese. They find it more flavorful and find ways to find unpasteurized queso fresco."
Medus also says that the individual who made the cheese could face fines. Read more from Minnesota Public Radio.

Crystal Palace could face FA Cup holders Wigan Athletic after securing passage to the fourth round on Saturday.
Goals from Dwight Gayle and Marouane Chamakh in a 2-0 win saw Palace past West Brom at the Hawthorns.
With Wigan Athletic and MK Dons facing a replay following a 2-2 draw, Palace must wait their fate.
Despite overcoming the tricky trip to the Midlands, boss Tony Pulis was disappointed not to score more goals.
"Dwight Gayle is a goalscorer and he took his chance ever so well but we were disappointed we didn't get a few more and late on with the introduction of two subs we looked the better team and a real threat going forward," he told the club's website.
"It was always going to be tough coming to a Premier League side away from home but I thought the lads stuck at it really well and in the second half West Brom got more into the game and we defended with our lives at times.
Opener: Dwight Gayle's FA Cup goal at West Brom was his fourth in all competitions this season
"Overall we created some very good opportunities and can take positives from a game in which we made some changes.
"I gave Hiram Boateng his first start of the season, he gave us a good hour, and was really pleaed with him and other lads got the chance to be in the team from the start."
He added: "Julian [Speroni] made some good saves and in particular one outstanding one but that is what you are hoping you are paying him to do, overall it was a great team performance with everyone working hard.
"We had a little bit of luck when we needed it and could have been more clinical at times where the final pass let us down but apart from that I am really pleased."

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
There's no denying that social media has taken the world by storm. Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter boast millions of users. Social media is a huge engagement, staffing, retention and increasingly, branding tool. It's at the foundation of what I call tri-branding. Tri-branding is when companies use social media to link both product and employment brand, as well as to get their customers to sing their praises or live their brand.
The Good
Companies should be leveraging social media to boost brand via tweeting, posting and blogging. Posting recent wins, new products or services, job openings, key promotions and hires and press releases are all opportunities to brand who you are.
Tri-branding occurs when your customers promote you on your behalf. When keynoting, I often show a You Tube video of a Southwest airlines flight attendant singing a country song as part of her opening comments to fellow passengers to "buckle up." This YouTube Video has now been seen by millions of viewers. Think of the marketing and benefits of this example for Southwest Airlines. A customer on her own, branded Southwest's product in a positive way, with Southwest being the beneficiary of millions of views.
The Bad
Many companies are afraid of the realistic downside of social media (employees saying the wrong thing, badmouthing the employer, inadvertently sharing information publicly that should only be shared privately, customers saying negative things about their establishment, etc.). And their concern is often legitimate as employees and customers, along with other stakeholders, often say negative things about a brand – especially if they had a negative brand experience or if the brand has a toxic culture. Unless you take control of social media, you risk social media taking control of you.
There is a well-known customer service case study known simply as "United Breaks Guitars," featuring Canadian musician Dave Carroll. While flying on United Airlines, a fellow passenger stares out the window after landing, and announces to those around him, including David, "look at those baggage handlers throwing that poor passengers' guitar…"
Sure enough, David's guitar was broken. Attempting to seek reimbursement from United, he faced a mountain of bureaucracy and denials and, ultimately, a rejection. So he decided to take matters into his own hands by writing a song simply titled, "United Breaks Guitars" and proceeded to upload the video on You Tube. At last count, "United Breaks Guitars" has close to 13 million views. Opportunistic Mr. Carroll has even appeared on most of the national media outlets, released follow-up videos, saw an increase in his recording business, and even published his first book! And oh, United ultimately offered an apology, reimbursement, and now includes "United Breaks Guitars" as a customer service training video.
The Ugly
Subway customer Matt Corby from Australia was innocently eating the fast food chain's signature "Foot Long" sub, when he noticed that the sandwich appeared smaller than advertised. He simply measured the sandwich, and discovered it was 11 inches long. So he decided to post a photo of his discovery on Subway's Facebook page, positioning his sub next to a tape measure along with the message "subway pls respond." Mr. Corby's photo was seen by thousands of Subway customers, and even resulted in copycat photos all over the social networking site, including one featuring a sandwich compared to a human foot in a sock. Subway had a PR nightmare on its hands, and had to respond accordingly. Remarkably, some disgruntled Subway customers even filed lawsuits against the fast food chain, claiming false advertising.
That is where we are with social media today – it's not going away. When I address audiences, I remind them that once upon a time, we would lock our rotary telephones so employees wouldn't 'steal' company resources by calling their relatives or friends with the 800 telephone line. I also recall the head of legal storming into my office exclaiming, "You're not really going to allow our employees to have access to email, are you? They'll steal our intellectual property." As we reflect back today, it is rather ridiculous to think about these former 'concerns.'
If you're not embracing and leveraging social media, chances are the external world already is. Your social media stakeholders include former employees, applicants, customers and clients, vendors, the media and even the government. Sites such as Glassdoor.com are increasingly becoming popular with departing employees who feel their companies did not treat them fairly.
Social media is the world where Gen Y lives, and if companies want to engage and communicate with this generation, they must embrace social media. How? By creating their own You Tube channels where Gen Y employees and customers can learn of the firm's values and culture. Employers should ask their employees to join LinkedIn groups to share job opportunities. Firms should celebrate their most "connected" employees and ask if they would be interested in being brand ambassadors, and tweet new products and or services, advertise new developments, post new positions, etc. Employers will increasingly want to hire employees who are connected, as branding increasingly will be an opportunity to involve your most socially connected employees – while engaging them at the same time.
Bob Kelleher is a noted speaker, thought leader and author of "Creativeship: A Novel for Evolving Leaders." His first book, LOUDER THAN WORDS: 10 Practical Employee Engagement Steps That Drive Results," has been one of the nation's top-selling employee engagement books since its release in 2010.

Infusion Organique - Organic Home Scent Diffusers.
I've always considered scents pour la maison a bit of a waste of money - you spray them around a room, on your linens, on your furniture, et voila... 15mins later you can't smell a thing! I've never really liked the look of them nor thought they were particularly effective, but I was recently sent a sample of the new Buddha's Fig Scent Diffuser from Infusion Organique and I'm a convert. From the beautiful, robust box the bottle comes in, to the heavy glass bottle with a stopper that reminds me of something from an old apothecary, to the gorgeously conceived graphics that will work in most interiors, and the fragrances themselves... Infusion Organique is something really special. The passionate brainchild of beauty industry veterans Ron Chavers and Carole Vialars, and brought to visual life under the astute art direction of Carole's sister Gladys, the project grew from a collaboration between the three; a cosmetic and fragrance manufacturer, cosmetic chemist and graphic artist, respectively. Made entirely from organic & natural ingredients, the fragrances are based on unique & inspired olfactory memories such as Buddha's Fig, Indochine or Sands of Morroco. Add one to your environment and be transported! Writer :: Emma Pezzack - www.futurenatural.com: the best organic beauty products in the world.

Four Houses at an IntersectionLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
At a + shaped intersection, four different-coloured houses are at the four corners of the intersection so that each house is separated by a road. All you know about the colours of the houses is:
1. The blue house is directly north of the purple house.
2. The orange house is directly west of the green house.
What colours are the two houses that are across the road from the green house?
AnswerPurple and blue.
It is impossible for north to align with the roads, but if north is across the diagonal then it works out. If north went in the direction from the bottom left to the top right of the + intersection, then the blue house would be in the top right corner, the orange in the top left, the purple in the bottom left, and green in the bottom right.

This section of the defence force became immortalised in the TV programme "Dad's Army", anyone of a certain generation will remember Captain Mainwaring and his platoon!! However the digitising of these records have revealed that many of the Home Guard were too young to enlist rather than too old.
The records comprise 40,000+ personnel records and cover the time period 1940 – 1945. It should be noted that the records of people born less than 100 years ago are closed which means that although you can find them listed on the index you can not download and view them. However if you can prove the person is deceased then there is a specific form to fill in requested access.
The record series reference is WO 409 and contains the enrolment forms which were completed by the men as they joined the service. They generally contain
Date of Birth
Place of Birth
Date of Enlistment in Home Guard
Previous Military Service
Date of leaving Home Guard
It can be seen that this set of records contain very useful family history information which could lead onto military, census, civil registration and other records. It would be wonderful if The National Archives decided to either digitise the records for the whole of the Britain or enter into a partnership with either Ancestry or Find My Past.
If you have family in the county of Durham then this is a document set that is well worth searching, if not then we can only sit and hope that these valuable records are soon online for the rest of Britain. The National Archives, Ancestry and Find My Past often put out surveys about their services and one of the questions is which records you would like to see digitised, now we can ask for Home Guard records and then keep our fingers crossed !

WASHINGTON (AP) — A lawyer seeking an end to California's ban on same-sex marriage is comparing it to bans on interracial marriages, a prohibition the Supreme Court declared illegal decades ago.
In charged back-and-forth exchanges with justices, lawyer Theodore Olson said that the court should look to its 1967 Loving case, when the court invalidated laws prohibiting interracial marriage.
Chief Justice John Roberts told Olson that it seemed supporters of gay marriage were trying to change the meaning of the word "marriage" by including same-sex couples.
Justice Anthony Kennedy suggested that throwing out California's ban could take the Supreme Court into "uncharted waters." But Olson responded that the court did just that when it threw out bans on interracial marriage.
The Supreme Court will make a decision later this year.

It's good to be on top.
The ThirtyTwo Women's Lashed Snowboard Boot is the best-selling boot sold by ThirtyTwo, and that's for good reason. Where to start? Well, its mid-flexing support, ultra-comfy Intuition foam liner, impact-dampening Evolution foam sole, and extremely lightweight construction, just to name a few. And to prove that style and substance can coexist, the Lashed stands apart with its bright color pops and subtle texture variations.
The boot's heat-moldable Level 2F liner is specifically tailored to the needs of female riders, with a fuzzy cuff for added warmth, as well as an antimicrobial treatment to prevent odor build-up. Heat mold them straight from the box for a foot-conforming fit or ride a few sessions for the same great fit. Either way, you'll reap the benefits of the Intuition foam liner's highly supportive fit without nasty pressure points. Other key features include an impact-absorbing Level 2 footbed with arch support, as well as the Evolution foam sole that shaves weight while smoothing out vibration and flat landings.
- Articulated cuff
- Performance backstay
- Level 2F Intuition Foam liner

Glad to Grab the Tie Dye
You can never go wrong with the 32 Lashed. Been wearing them for well over 10 years and I still won't stray. My 1st pair of 32 Lashed I still have and they're 13 years old. They are built to last and the most comfortable. I love the variety in design being released. It's hard to not own multiple pairs
I got these for my sister. "I had to go up a half size in the boot, but they are super comfortable once they are broken in. I have a wide foot but my feet are finally comfortable and not cramped in these new boots. They are somewhat flexible, but they offer a huge amount of support for my ankles, whereas my old boots were too flexible and not supportive enough."
Good do everything boot
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I purchased these for my girlfriend, as she had a pair of lashes from a few years ago that were worn out. It's of my opinion that 32 runs a little more snug than most brands (Burton, Salomon etc). I would say the same for these. You're either going to want your street shoe size or .5 bigger. I also suggest getting these heat molded or at least putting some time in them at home before going on hill. The liner needs to form. Once formed, these are hard to beat. Lightweight, comfy and a great medium flex. Plus I love the traditional lace.

Big Jay over at Milo Sport reviews the 2016 Thirtytwo Lashed Snowboard Boots.
Thirty Two Lashed
With the winter season here its time to up the game on the boot situation. These were a gift and since the 7 was a little small, i had to return for a 7.5. Very comfortable, stylish boot, yet still simple.
Thirty Two Lashed Snowboard Boot - Women
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These boots are perfect.
inner lacing to keep your ankle in place, outer lacing for not over tightening your instep and 2 hook and loop straps on the top of the shin that act like mini booster straps for snowboard boots.
As for sizing, normally I'm a 5.5 in street shoe size but for this boot I wear a 6 or 6.5. I ended up sticking with the 6 because I was afraid my foot would move around too much in the 6.5 but now my toes just kiss the end of the 6 so I'll hope that they pack out.
Also, I made my wife (liz kuz) write this review and she's the best.

The Aboriginal peoples of this Earth had their own systems of formal education prior to Colonization - systems which were highly successful. Self Governance in education requires the development and implementation of sustainable educational systems under the full control and jurisdiction of aboriginal people based on the recognition of inherent hereditary and treaty rights, and under international law. To make Self Governance in Education a reality, several processes need to be put into place, including sustainable funding, the preparation of aboriginal educational leaders, and the development of educational systems that meet the needs of each community. .
This site is the culmination of a project funded by BC Campus that allowed two education experts, Sylvia Currie and June Kaminski, representing Nicola Valley Institute of Technology and Kwantlen Polytechnic University to create an online resource that builds on research, consultation, and community-based activities. This site provides best practices and support for online learning initiatives that are intended for aboriginal students, elders, educators, curriculum developers, and educational leaders.

This is the first time I've tried any type of "diet". When I started I decided that this was going to be a lifestyle change for me. So I picked something that I could live with. That's what I love about the cheat day. I make myself sick sometimes. Last week I had donuts and French toast for breakfast. I get my fill and I'm almost happy to go back to eating healthier the rest of the week.
I have no desire whatsoever to go back to eating the way I used to.
"I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings."
Hitters who avoid outs are the funnest.
I lost about 40 pounds last year training for the Columbus half marathon. No diet change at all really. Still have a little more to lose, will be running Cap City this spring (considered the Flying Pig full, but I don't think I'm ready just yet).
Because the plain people are able to speak and understand, and even, in many cases, to read and write, it is assumed that they have ideas in their heads, and an appetite for more. This assumption is a folly.

I've dropped about 15 pounds since I quit driving. It's amazing the stuff you will consume when you have to drive all night...and the quantities.
The contents of this post may be disseminated without the express written consent of the Cincinnati Reds or Major League Baseball.
I started eating better and working out over the last few weeks. Started mid-January, and am down about 20 lbs. I love the free My Fitness Pal app- it has really helped a lot. I'm also using the Couch to 5K app and hitting the treadmill 3x a week.
I want to echo the love for the MyFitness phone app. I installed it on my Droid and it has been an integral tool in helping myself keep track of exactly how many calories I take in. The huge side effect of calorie counting is that in order for it to be accurate, you almost have to stop eating at restaurants and you are forced to measure your portions.
Losing weight becomes much easier when you avoid fast food/restaurants which deal almost exclusively in fatty and high calorie foods, and you learn to appreciate correct portion sizes. I've lost 6 lbs in under 2 weeks using the MyFitness app (which has nutrition information for basically everything I get at Trader Joes) and I've learned how much better/fun it is to enjoy 4-5 different foods per meal (but in tiny portions) than to have 1 giant sandwich and 1 giant serving of fries. When I use correct portions I can enjoy a breakfast feast of turkey, eggs, fiber cereal and mixed vegetables and I'm eating way less calories than if I got the smallest breakfast meal at a restaurant (the sad, plain, flavorless 2 eggs/hashbrowns/toast).
With all that said, I've had to force myself to stay home more than I normally like to. If I was out running around everyday and night it would be much harder. But I've found that there are fast food places out there that will offer 1 or 2 "crunch time" alternatives. Got stuck running errands and had a grilled chicken ensalada at Baja Fresh today, only 300 calories which fits into my per meal plan. However, when the lady offered me their free complimentary chips I quickly turned into this:

I just finished my first month (28 days) on Nutrisystem. I lost 10 pounds.
I'm continuing for another month.
Overall, I'm satisfied. Sure, the food is not great, but there's not a lot to expect from ready to go and frozen meals. I took their standard package for the first month, but now I've eliminated the stuff I didn't like and included more of my favorites for the second month (you can customize). And I didn't get overweight by eating gourmet food (well, some). I've eaten my share of junk over the years.
The best thing is it's structured. You know what you are going to eat and the routine takes care of itself. Sometimes you do get hungry, but no real suffering. It helps if you bunch your meals closer (later breakfast, earlier dinner). You get snacks at mid-morning and mid-afternoon and an after-dinner dessert. It's all about portion control and keeping you under about 1500 cal/day.
During the month, I passed a kidney stone. I'm pretty sure it was because of the change in diet and all the water I drank (the passingm that is not the stone formation; the stone has been there for a while). Very painful.

Just finished my second month on Nutrisystem.
Lost another 6 pounds (total 16). The difference is notable.
Will do another month to finish the food I bought and then try to maintain.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
Since I started eating right and exercising back on January 17, I'm down over 30 lbs. (about 2.8 lb/week). I've done nothing except count calories and run on a treadmill 1-3 times a week.
A couple of weeks ago I ran 8 miles in about 1 1/2 hr. This mornig I worked on my speed and ran a mile in 9:24. Not great by any means, but a big improvement for me. I'd like to drop another 20-30 lb. and maintain that weight.
I also registered for the Redlegs Run 5K in June. Anyone else here participating?
2013 Record at games attended: 0-1
Don't kid yourself Eric. Those are great times for someone who's running for the first time(or at least first time in a long time.)
I've mentioned before but I have found a rhythm which works for me where I run for 3 minutes, then walk for 1, then run for 3 and so on. This helps me go longer distances, I ran the Columbus Marathon last October doing this.
When is the Redlegs Run 5K? I'm running a half marathon towards the end of May, and a full marathon probably in November, so the end of June would be a good time for me to do a 5K.
The run is Saturday, June 17. Here is the site:
It would be fun if we could get a few RZers together after the race for lunch or something.

Forgot about this thread. I got to 160 lbs and went to Basic Training... maintained weight there but lost alot of fat. Once I got out, started working out pretty hardcore, dropped some more body fat % as well as dropping down to 150 lbs. Went to Officer Candidate School and gained 10 lbs of all muscle, as well as a little more body fat. Looking good and staying in shape.
Keep up your diets/workouts. If I can do it, anyone can
Anyone know a good place to train in how to properly add muscle from the waist up? Even back into high school and middle school I played soccer and could do just about anything waist down but could never find any help/strength from the waist up. Im at 210 right now probably wouldn't hurt to lose 10-15 lbs of fat thats largely based around the stomach area but my main goal is to put some weight on my frame.
