"I was a little nervous that the picture quality would be poor since it is a decent sized pic, and you can't really tell how it will look from the previews. However, the picture and the invites came out perfectly! Our designer was extremely fast and got back to us within 12 hours every time until we were 100% happy with the preview. We added "Together with their families" above our names on the right page and it was perfect! Very happy!"
"I loved the design for our wedding. The designer worked well to get the exact colors and layout that we wanted. Note, that the Glitter is an image and not actually glitter."
"We ordered this based on the main design - which was something we have been looking for. We were able to adjust fonts and since my first name is short, the designer was able to adjust the format of the text to the right for a more "even" appearance. We also centered the info on the bottom. We ordered this in the pearl in standard matte and the paper quality is amazing. The color is like a lighter ivory. I would have ordered in shimmer paper to allow for the polka dots to have a glittery appearance but it wasn't in the budget. It was definitely exciting for our invites to arrive and see them in real life! Thanks WPD!"
"Our invitations arrived recently (sooner than expected) and look absolutely beautiful! The design requests we submitted were perfect and really helped to make our invitations unique."
"I used these for my wedding invitations and everyone who received them RAVED! They are nice and thick and printed beautifully. DO NOT forget to include the reception information on your invite like I did! I had the church information but failed to include location and start time for the cocktail hour! It simply says "reception to follow." I also took these incites and glued them into a pocket fold that was gold. I put stickers with our initials on them to seal the pocket fold. Looked AMAZING"

Audi has long had a reputation for building excellent performance cars, but the R8 marked a departure into mid-engine supercar territory. Having been around for several years now, however, it's not so much out of the ordinary as it is the benchmark of the range--and, for some, the very idea of a supercar.
While it doesn't share the track record of Ferrari or Lamborghini, the R8 does borrow from its Italian Volkswagen Group cousin, if only under the skin. In terms of build quality and interior makeup, it's all German.
Whether you want a coupe or a convertible, Audi offers three performance levels for the R8: V-8, V-10, and GT. Even the base model is quick, at 4.4 seconds to 60 mph, 187 mph top speed, and 420 horsepower from the 4.2-liter V-8. The Spyder gets to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds and carries on to a top speed of 186 mph.
The 5.2-liter V-10 coupe boosts that to 525 horsepower, 3.7 seconds to 60 mph and a top speed of 196 mph, while the Spyder gets 60 mph done in 4.0 seconds before a top speed of 194 mph.
Stepping up to the top-of-the-line GT model yields 560 horsepower, 3.6-second 0-60 mph times, and 199 mph top speed. An R8 GT Spyder is available in Europe, but hasn't yet made it to the U.S., though a limited run is expected to arrive in the first half of 2012.
But what is the R8 like to drive? In a word, fantastic. All models are available with a choice of six-speed manual or six-speed R tronic automatic transmissions, both of which are slick, tight, and performance-focused. The automatic suits the R8's personality a bit better, however, making the most of the R8's daily-driver qualities while not holding it back on track.
In fact, just about the only thing likely to hold the R8 back on track is the driver. Quattro all-wheel drive makes grip under acceleration phenomenal, biasing up to 35 percent of the power to the front wheels, and the relatively low 3,400-pound curb weight (higher in some models) helps stick the car through the corners. Magnetically-controlled dampers help there, too, as much as they help smooth out rough roads on the street. Available carbon-ceramic brakes make fade a vague memory, but can be a bit too grabby on the street.
Steering is light, but not over-boosted, and gives a natural, connected feel of what the car is doing and what it's capable of doing.

Men's health can suffer when they're the breadwinners, study says
Researchers at the University of Connecticut say the pressure on men to be breadwinner can take a toll on their health. They found that as men took on more financial responsibility, their mental and physical health declined. Women, on the other hand, actually showed improved mental health as they made greater financial contributions.

Bangalore: The Sri Lankans recovered well, after two mini collapses had them looking at trouble, to post a competitive 221 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday. India, yet again, could pay a price for not going in with a second spinner (genuine) and instead opting for an extra batsman. Whenever Harbhajan put pressure on the Sri Lankans there was nobody to sustain that pressure by bowling a tight length at the other end. Sri Lanka had two collapses of significant proportions but on both occasions managed to wriggle itself out of it. Although, Yuvraj, Sodhi and Sehwag accounted for a few wickets they were expensive, given the context of the situation and also the nature of the wicket. While Harbhajan gave 29 from his 10 over for three wickets Sehwag, Sodhi and Yuvraj went for 104 from a total of 26 overs that they bowled - with Mohanty not impressive either going for 27 of his five overs. However, it could be said that Yuvraj was okay for a fifth blower going for 40 for two from his ten. But India sorely missed a fourth bowler (genuine), who could have made a big difference because Sodhi and Sehwag both went for plenty. For the Sri Lankans, Jayasuriya, early on, played a little cameo to give them a sound start and then later when there was a collapse (the 1st one), Gunawardene and Kaluwitharana put up 82 vital runs to get Sri Lanka back on the rails. However, Sri Lanka was to witness another major collapse when it lost four wickets in a heap. It was at this stage, that India sorely lacked a regular bowler who could have supplemented Harbhajans efforts.But as you may have it, the Sri Lankan pair of Dharmasena and Perera who in the previous game showed that he was no bunny with the bat turned on the heat to put up 49 precious runs in quick time to give Sri Lanka a fighting total.However, 222 is not a daunting target and if the Indians can apply themselves they should be able to make it home. Although, this wicket is on the slower side, run making on this wicket is not as difficult as it turned out to be in Indias first encounter.

Manatee County Government staff is proposing a yearlong health care study that would provide the basis for a formal healthcare plan in the county.
The Manatee County Board of County Commissioners will review the proposal for the study — which would be conducted by the Manatee Chamber Foundation in conjunction with the University of South Florida College of Public Health — at its 9 a.m. Tuesday, May 6 meeting.
Manatee County officials and local health care experts have called for a long-term plan for health care here, as a potential crisis looms.
A health care trust fund that provided about $9 million annually for medical and mental care to people in need will be depleted in 2015, county officials say.
Manatee County would pay the Manatee Chamber Foundation $196,000 to complete the study.

Good quality mug with excellent and crisp printing. Only con is my distaste for the "Star Trek" logo on the mug. I'd prefer the mug resemble something from the fictional universe of Star Fleet and not have the shows name silk screened over it. As a Navy vet all my ship's mugs have the ship name and crest -no "HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER" or other movie franchise splashed across them.
Seen this mug at many CONS and passed for the above reason, but when bundled with a polo it's a dismissible offense.

I've been meaning to do a post on the topic of labeling requirements for for a few months, first because it's important, and second, look how cute they are! But first, a disclaimer: I'm not a professional law interpreter, this is just what I figured out by reading the guides published by the FTC (here) and (here). So if you know better than I do, and spot any misinformation here, please let me know!
When I first started making labels to put inside my clothing, they just had my business name and logo on them. They were nice looking, but I suspected that I might be required to do more. After all, every single garment I saw in stores had care labels in them. So I did a little research, and found two really helpful guides: Threading Your Way Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and Wool Acts and Clothes Captioning: Complying with the Care Labeling Rule. My suspicions were confirmed: even though I wasn't making thousands of dresses and only selling at craft fairs, I was still required by law to have care labels in my garments. I really recommend reading through both of those guides if you're looking for how to word your own care labels, because it could be very different, depending on what you make. It's a lot to read, but it's written understandably. I'll explain what I needed to include on mine.
All clothing labels need four things: manufacturer, country of origin, fiber content, and care instructions.
1. Manufacturer: Pretty straightforward here. I put my business name, Always the Forest.
2. Country of origin: You need to disclose two things here, where the materials are from, and where they are assembled. So if your materials are all from the US, and everything is assembled in the US, all you have to say is "Made in U.S.A.". If your fabrics are imported, you would say, "Made in U.S.A. of imported materials. In my case, since my fabrics are all thrifted or remnants, I usually can't say for certain where they are from, so I would have to write "Made in U.S.A of secondhand materials"
3. Fiber Content: If you know what your fiber content is, you need to be pretty specific here. I had a slight "ahhhhh oh no oh no!!!" moment when I realized that I had no way to determine the fiber content of my fabric. Upon further reading, I found that you can simply disclose the fact that you don't know the fiber content. I put "fiber content unknown". Much easier than I thought.
4. Care instructions: There are many different things you might have to include here, depending on your materials. If it's not "dry clean only", you need 1) washing instructions (like water temp, gentle cycle), 2) bleach info (yes or no), 3) drying instructions (temperature) and 4) ironing instructions (temperature). Also, if there are trims or decorations that need special care, you need to include that as well. For my labels, I wrote "handwash cold, no bleach, lay flat to dry, warm iron".
After I waded through all that information, and figured out what I needed on my labels, I had to figure out how to get them made. I looked online for some label making options. Most companies I found had high minimums (at least 1,000), and at the time, that seemed like wayyy too many. On etsy.com, there were a few places that had low minimums, but I didn't see any that I liked. I didn't really care much for the look of woven labels, and the printed ones seemed like they would be too stiff. So I decided I would find a way to screen print my own. I made a screen that had rows of my label image, front and back. Then I found soft ribbon to fit, and aligned them under the images on the screen. After I printed the images on the ribbons, I cut them apart, and ironed them in half. Then they're ready to be sewn into the garments. So if you know how to screen print, or have a friend that does, you can make inexpensive and professional-looking care labels to keep your stuff legit. If you don't have those resources, you might want to experiment with using iron-on paper on the ribbons. I've also heard about printing directly on fabric, but you should test it out in the wash first, because on of the requirements is that the labels have to last though washings. If you make your own labels, share how you do it in the comments. I love seeing handmade labels, it's so neat!

Too many of us have an 'Aunt Pearl': a beautiful woman whose untimely exit underlines the importance of breast cancer awareness and research. Nike Basketball's scoring machine Kevin Durant payed tribute to his late aunt on Valentine's Day in his latest signature sneaker, and with the 2013 Kay Yow Collection available now, the 'Aunt Pearl' Nike KD V can't be too far off. The Kay Yow Cancer Fund-benefitting Hyperfuse 2012 Low and Zoom Hyperdisruptor feature Pinkfire Light uppers, so these KD 5s really stand out in white with pink stained glass detailing on the Swooshes, tongue and sockliner.

Two people remain missing after a tourist boat, carrying 25 passengers, sank during a three-day voyage from Lombok to Komodo, the home of the Komodo dragon.
Survivors receive medical treatment in Bima, West Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia (EPA)
The bulk of the tourists and all five crew survived by either clinging to a lifeboat, floating in lifejackets or swimming about three miles to an island and eating leaves and drinking urine. The missing passengers are believed to be a Dutch man and an Italian woman.
Two British women, along with other rescued passengers from Germany, Spain, Holland, New Zealand and France, are in hospital receiving medical assistance for trauma and dehydration.
The boat, a wooden schooner, is believed to have sprung a leak after hitting a reef during fierce storms. The boat began to sink but the lifeboat could reportedly only hold seven passengers.
Survivors receive medical treatment in Bima, West Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia (EPA)
Ten passengers, including the two Britons, decided to stay with the boat as it sank and then swum for several hours to the island of Sangeang, where there was apparently an erupting volcano.
A further 13 passengers were later found in the lifeboat or floating in their life jackets. They had been in the water for about 40 hours.
Jan van Ommen, a Dutch passenger, said the members of the group swapped places between the lifeboat and floating in the water.
"So we had this system, and in the beginning it was not easy... but later on the system went on, and we changed and changed," he told AFP.
The British Foreign Office said it was providing consular assistance to the two rescued Britons.

While seizing power, Bouterse killed a dozen journalists by his own hand, those whom he particularly loathed. His power and popularity grew steadily until August 1997 when the Dutch government issued an international warrant for his arrest. His drug dealings were exposed and he was found to be a major dealer and exporter, a virtual drug lord.

No headway because of China`s insistence on dismantling of bunkers?
Efforts to break the stand-off due to the Chinese incursion are apparently bearing no fruit because of China`s insistence that some bunkers constructed by India at a key vantage point be dismantled.
New Delhi: Efforts to break the stand-off due to the Chinese incursion are apparently bearing no fruit because of China`s insistence that some bunkers constructed by India at a key vantage point be dismantled.
China is understood to have laid down this condition before the Indian side for going back from the place 19 km inside the Indian territory in Daulat Beg Oldi where its troops have been camping for the last over two weeks, sources said here.
The government is taking a look into these issues in the meetings of the China Study Group headed by the National Security Advisor and including secretaries of key ministries such as Defence, Home and External Affairs, they said.
The rigidity shown by the Chinese over this demand is also one of the reasons why there has been no flag meetings between the two sides for over a week now, the sources said.
They said the vantage point is at a junction between two mountains in Ladakh area from where the Indian Army troops could remain unseen and oversee the activities of the Chinese troops in that area.
After the Chinese troops observed the Indian position there due to the movement of vehicles and soldiers, they intruded into Indian territory on April 15 to press for their demands.
The vantage point is at a location which is claimed by both sides as their territory, they said.
Meanwhile, the stand-off is continuing in the DBO where the Chinese soldiers are getting continued supplies from trucks and light vehicles from its side of the border.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had said India has a plan to resolve the issue and it was working on it. All the actions in the case are being taken by the China Study Group and all other stakeholders have been asked to maintain silence over the sensitive issue.

A Trip to Italy Is A Single Girl's Best Friend
Kerry Jo Richards of Kensington is the inaugural contributor to our Your Vacation in Lights feature, in which we invite Travel section readers to share the dish about their recent trips. It's a big, confusing travel world out there, and you can help your fellow travelers navigate it. Your hot tip can be the next guy's day-maker; your rip-off restaurant, the next family's near-miss. To file your own trip report -- and win a digital camera -- see the fine print below.
THE TRIP: The Single Girl's First Trip to Italy
WHO WENT: Five single women, mostly in their thirties (four of us work together), plus a grandmother and two college boys.
WHERE: Rome, Florence, Siena
WHEN: May 2005
WHY: Why not? I'd never been to Italy. When two of my girlfriends from work mentioned to me separately that they were considering trips there, I not only jumped on that wagon, I designed, planned and launched it.
HOW LONG: 18 days.
GETTING THERE WAS . . . Miserable, but aren't overnight flights always miserable in coach? The train from Rome to Florence was lovely -- and cheap.
IT MADE IT ALL WORTH IT WHEN . . . I climbed to the rooftop of my villa outside Florence and realized I could see the Duomo and the whole city spread out before me. Any time of the day or evening -- this was the place to watch the skyline.
I GRITTED MY TEETH HARDEST WHEN . . . I was accosted by little old ladies. All over Italy, I was pushed, shoved, elbowed and generally mistreated by packs of senior citizens. I was shoved at the Vatican by a French contingent of blue-hairs. A group of wild women almost ran me over on the way to the loo in Assisi. Forget roving bands of teenagers -- by the end of my trip, I would start twitching whenever I'd see a walker.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I . . . Let the waiter drive me home. Our first night in Florence, we walked down the hill to a little restaurant called La Capponcina in Settingnano. At the end of the night, it was late and we didn't want to walk back to our villa. Our new friend Vito took off his apron, left his customers and drove us up the hill.
BEST/WORST THING ABOUT MY HOTEL: For one week in Florence, we stayed at a villa called Il Verone in the suburb of Settingnano. The best thing: the amazing views and comfortable beds. The worst: climbing the hill up to our house. I was lazy and took cabs home.

Even an appeal in a letter to the editor in the June 21 Eagle by former Republican Governor Thomas Kean, now the president of Drew University in Madison, for a vote for Franks did not turn the key in Madison for the former congressman, who entered the primary contest late at the behest of party leaders after Acting Gov. Donald DiFrancesco, then the front-runner for the Republican nomination, dropped out on April 25.
Franks served in the state Assembly from 1979 to 1992 and in Congress from 1993 to 2000. He was narrowly defeated for the U.S. Senate last year by Democrat Jon Corzine.
Schundler, the more conservative of the two rivals for the Republican nomination for governor anti-abortion, pro-concealed weapons and pro-school vouchers has been Jersey City mayor since December 1992. His election in that Democratic stronghold was the first by a Republican mayoral candidate since 1917. In the primary race for the gubernatorial nomination from the start, Schundler withstood attempts to deny him credit for a revitalization of that urban center.
Both Schundler and Franks visited Madison during the primary campaign.
Woodbridge Mayor James McGreevey faced only token opposition in the Democratic p rimary for governor. Madison Democrats supported him with 215 votes.
Without a primary contest to worry him, McGreevey is wasting no time hitting the general election campaign trail. The Democrat disclosed this week that starting July 1, he would begin a 22-day hiking, biking and canoeing journey across New Jersey, starting at High Point and ending in Cape May, to rub elbows with New Jersey residents in local settings.
McGreevey came close to upsetting Gov. Christine Todd Whitman's re-election four years ago. He served in the state Assembly from 1990 to 1992, and in the state Senate from 1994 to 1998.
Also on the Democratic ballot for governor Tuesday was Elliot Greenspan of Ridgefield Park, a Bergen County Democratic committeeman and disciple of perennial presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche. Greenspan polled 10 votes among Madison Democrats.
Madison Council
There was no primary race for nominations Tuesday to the Madison Borough Council, but four candidates will square off for two council seats in the Nov. 6 general election.
Councilmen Peter R. Flemming Sr. and Ellwood "Woody" Kerkeslager, both Republicans, are not seeking second terms, so there is no incumbent in the race.
The Republican candidates are Donald Bowen of Glenwild Road, a wireless technology scientist and community activist, and Marie Moore of Fox Chase Road, a former chairwoman of the Madison Republican Committee. On Tuesday, Bowen polled 933 votes and Moore received 908.
The Democratic candidates for council are Astri Baillie of East Lane, former chairwoman of the Madison Board of Adjustment, and James Ralston of Ferndale Road, a software specialist and neighborhood activist on land use issues. Baillie garnered 180 votes Tuesday, and Ralston polled 188.
District 21
Madison is being redistricted in January from State Legislative District 26, a primarily Morris County district, to the new District 21, dominated by Union County towns. There were no races on the District 21 primary ballots, but there will be contests come November.
The Republican candidate for a two-year term in the state Senate from District 21 is Richard Bagger of Westfield, a former mayor of Westfield and currently an Assemblyman in District 22. Madison Republicans gave Bagger 936 votes Tuesday.
The Democratic standard-bearer for state Senate in District 21 is Ellen Steinberg, an attorney from Chatham Township. She polled 181 votes from Madison Democrats on Tuesday.
The Republican candidates for the state Assembly from District 21 are Thomas Kean Jr. of Westfield and Eric Munoz of Summit, who were both appointed to Assembly vacancies earlier this year. Madison Republicans gave 1,033 votes to Kean, making him the big vote-getter in Madison on Tuesday, and 854 votes to Munoz. Kean's father is the former New Jersey governor and current president of Drew University in Madison.
The Democratic candidates for the state Assembly from District 21 are Thomas C. Jardin of Westfield, a former mayor of Westfield, and J. Brooke Hern of New Providence, who was director of public affairs for the state Department of Commerce under Gov. James Florio. On Tuesday, Madison Democrats gave 191 votes to Jardin, and 174 to Hern.
County Freeholders
There were no races on Tuesday's primary ballot for Morris County freeholder, but there will be a contest in the November election for three seats on the freeholder board.
The Republican candidates are incumbents Douglas Cabana of Boonton Township, Jack Schrier of Mendham Township, and John Inglesino of Rockaway Township. Cabana, former mayor of Boonton Township, has been a freeholder since 1997. Schrier, for mer mayor of Mendham Township, is seeking a second three-year term on the freeholder board. Inglesino, mayor of Rockaway Township since 1996, was elected by a Republican convention to a vacancy on the freeholder board in March. On Tuesday, Madison Republicans gave 912 votes to Cabana, 896 to Schrier, and 879 to Inglesino.
The Democratic candidates for freeholder are Daniel Grant, a veteran member of the Montville Township Committee; Gary F. Colucci, a former councilman and current Planning Board member in Mine Hill Township, and Kathlen O'Neill Margiotta, who served on the Morristown Council from 1990 to 1998 before moving to Morris Township. On Tuesday, Madison Democrats gave 187 votes to Grant, 170 to Colucci, and 178 to Margiotta.
County Sheriff
Morris County Sheriff Edward Rochford of Denville, a Republican, was unopposed in his party's primary Tuesday and, with no Democrat running, will remain unopposed in the November general election. Madison Republicans gave Rochford 1,018 votes Tuesday to boost his election to a fourth three-year term.
Officials on Tuesday night were unable to provide a breakdown of the total Madison vote to calculate the turnout of Republicans and Democrats.
A total of 1,480 Madison voters went to the polls Tuesday, a turnout of about 15 percent of all registered voters in the borough. Going into Tuesday's primary, Madison voters numbered 1,500 registered Democrats, 3,715 registered Republicans, 33 registered Independents, and 4,729 "undecided" voters, for a total registration of 9,977.

Caitlyn Jenner credits celebrity support for kids' acceptance
Caitlyn Jenner believes the messages of support she received from the likes of Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus helped her youngest daughters accept her as transgender.
The former Olympian was still known as Bruce Jenner when she discussed her plans for gender reassignment with Diane Sawyer in April 2015, and she watched the '20/20' special with all her family.
And as the show aired, Caitlyn was inundated with social media posts of support from the likes of the two pop stars and 'Rocket Man' singer Sir Elton John.
In an outtake from upcoming documentary 'The Trans List' obtained by 'Entertainment Tonight', Caitlyn recalled: "Alright, so there I am. I'm sitting on this couch and Diane Sawyer is coming on. My young kids, especially Kendall and Kylie, they don't want anybody to hurt their daddy.
"Now, I'm sitting on the couch with all my girls -- Kourtney, Kimberly, Khloe, Kendall, Kylie -- this is by far the most social media family in the world. They can sit there with their little phones and reach 140 million people all over the world.
"[Other stars] were all just going crazy on social media. I think at that point it made my two little girls, who obviously live in that world -- I think it made them feel really good. Like, 'You know what? It's going to be OK. People still love my daddy.'"
Kendall recently admitted she found her parent's transition "really hard" because she always thanked her dad for her "tomboy" ways.
She said: "We had ATVs and go-carts, and I grew up riding them all the time, which is why I'm a good driver. It's super ironic to think about now, but it's something I can thank my dad for: how much of a tomboy I was.
"That's why I think the whole thing - her transition - was really hard for me, because I was like, 'But you taught me everything, tomboy!'"
However, the catwalk icon has admitted she is slowly beginning to come to terms with her parents change, which she doesn't view as "weird" anymore.
She explained: "It has gotten easier. I knew it was going to have its rough phase, but it's all super normal now. It's not weird at all."

He's looking for a house with three bedrooms and a larger lot. Despite more than nine months of slipping sales in Toronto, prices have remained steady and Mr. Hrkac says he is not tempted to wait for a possible steeper decline.
"I'm definitely not interested in sitting out for very long," he says. "I really don't see prices dropping."
Noam Muscovitch knows all about the angst of buyers. The agent with Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd. found himself sitting outside a mid-century bungalow last week when he was competing on behalf of his clients with 10 other agents.
On a lot with 78 feet of frontage, the house had an asking price of $1.088-million. Cars lined the street near York Mills and Leslie as the rivals all vied for the renovated bungalow with lots of light and air under cathedral ceilings.
"It was like a parking lot out there," says Mr. Muscovitch. "It was kind of ridiculous."
He had registered a bid on behalf of his clients early on the offer date because he had to be on the road for much of the day. At the time, one competing offer was already in place.
He says some bidders register early on in order to deter others.
"A lot of people don't want to get into a multiple offer situation."
When he checked in just before 8 p.m., he found out that the number had gone up to five.
With every additional offer, his clients became more jittery, he recalls.
In all, 11 groups ended up vying for the house. Later that night, each party was given a chance to improve their offer in a second round of bidding and the number dropped down to nine.
Mr. Muscovitch's clients were a couple engaged to be married. They loved the house and tried to think of some creative ways to increase their chances of winning the competition. Mr. Muscovitch advised them to be very flexible about going along with the seller's schedule. He let the seller know that the pair had no plans to demolish it as had been the fate of so many others in the area.
He also employed the delicate strategy of pointing out to the sellers that his buyers had done their research on the house and were knowledgeable about possible defects. Homeowners sometimes worry that a deal will fall through later on if buyers get cold feet.
"We understand any issues. We're aware and we're okay with them – and that's good for you," he says of his message to the sellers.
At the same time, his clients wanted the homeowners to know they loved the house the way it was.
"You're not trying to offend them, that's for sure."
All the while, he was making frequent calls to the couple, who had brought one of their mothers along to a nearby McDonald's "because you can stay there for a long period of time," says the agent.
"You need to have them close in case there are changes."
About midnight, Mr. Muscovitch began to have a good feeling when he began to see the red lights of one car after another reversing back down the street.
"Then finally I got the call," he says.
In the end, he thinks their strategy beat all of the others partly because the buyers made an emotional connection with the sellers.
"I think they responded to the fact that the young couple didn't want to do anything to the house."
Micro-hoods: Where to find affordable homes in Toronto
Young buyers flocking to Little India
The South Asian flavour of Toronto's Little India is in transition.
The area centred on Gerrard Street East is attracting young buyers who have been priced out of the phenomenally popular Leslieville. Meanwhile, the traditional immigrant Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Sri Lankan communities have been steadily migrating to Brampton, Mississauga, Scarborough and other communities outside the city centre. Many business owners moved away decades ago but even the Gerrard Bazaar's sari shops and restaurants are often shuttered these days.
Other entrepreneurs are renovating their premises in order to better compete with the suburban shopping centres.
At the same time, the relatively affordable older semis and new townhouse projects draw more first-time buyers and young urbanites to the area.
Now new projects are rebranding the area with such banners as East Village Leslieville and Leslieville Lofthouses. The City of Toronto is refurbishing Greenwood Park.
As the area is increasingly revitalized, property values are on the rise.
Editor's Note: In the original print and online editions of this story Mr. Noam Muscovitch's name was spelled incorrectly. This version has been corrected.

I've been following (and posted) to a thread (http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/129024) from an administrator who was looking for guidance in authoring an e-mail for an executive in the company to send telling his users that 'general internet browsing was being terminated' and that 'website requests with business justification' would need to be approved before access granted.
Here's the question...
How long before you'd quit/ find alternate employment? Or do you agree with the policy?
52 Replies
Feb 22, 2011 at 8:42 UTC
I probably wouldn't mind, to be honest. The vast majority of websites I go to during the day are business related, the rest don't really matter that much to me. It is a very good way to not only keep productivity up, but malware attacks down as well!
If the decision were mine to make, I would make either one account (only accessible from IT) or the IT department unaffected by the rule. That would make life easier for us to download new items or research problems we're having.
Feb 22, 2011 at 8:46 UTC
For the people who aren't using the Internet and are focused on getting their job done this policy shouldn't impact them at all.
My feeling is that if playing on the Internet is someone's priority at work, and if they are willing to leave because this privilege is taken away they have made it a priority, then good riddance to them.
Feb 22, 2011 at 8:51 UTC
Playing devil's advocate....
OK, given that logic, would it be OK for sales to have 1 account with open access to make updating customer data easier and to lookup contact information for new sales?
What if conversely you too had to apply and wait for every new site you needed/wanted to visit?
Where do we draw the line?
Feb 22, 2011 at 8:52 UTC
I wouldn't mind at all. Each employee is hired to bring value to the bottom line. If you are not you are vulnerable anyway. Casual internet surfing to non business related sites such as Facebook and Twitter bring nothing to the table. Some companies like to pretend that they do but I see the trend heading the other direction.
Feb 22, 2011 at 8:58 UTC
Employees are hired for one reason. To make money for the company. They are not owed internet access (or any other fringe benefits). If the company allows it, great, but if not I wouldn't quit for that reason alone. I've been on both sides of the fence, both as an employee who had nothing to do with tech and as the tech who has to be the bad guy. At the end of the day the paycheck was more important than internet access.
Besides in the world today almost everyone has internet access via their phones so if they can't get it on the desktop all is not lost
Feb 22, 2011 at 9:05 UTC

This raises more questions?
1) Company or Personal owned Cell phone? Does business use only apply to the cellular device?
2) Is it ok to 'work around' the IT policy by bringing a personal device into the office. Will it enhance or lead to more wasted time with text messages, etc?
Feb 22, 2011 at 9:14 UTC
I would work for a company with this policy, a company has a right to institute any policy they wish provided it is not illegal. This is also a reasonable policy to me, especially if you have tight operating budgets for things such as Internet access. Further the focus of an employee should be on their job, not who's updating what on facebook. Is it nice to be able to check your personal email, or look at an item you are bidding on at ebay real quick, but using company equipment you certainly have not right to do it.

1) For a company phone, unless the policy states otherwise I would say business use only, aside from that I wouldn't want my personal stuff tied to a work number that I will lose if I change jobs. If you use your personal phone and company pays for you to use it, then it is still your do what you want with it.
2) I doubt that bringing personal devices into the office would happen more, everyone carries their cell phone with them everywhere all ready. And if they are so inclined to slack off they will spend their time slacking off on the phone, god forbid their manager finds out though. I would consider that a circumnavigation of the intended purpose of a business only policy.
Then again, I would never slack off like that, but management certainly thinks people do, so maybe they do.
Feb 22, 2011 at 10:15 UTC
in a business, the internet should be primarily for business purposes.
internet access for employees is not a right, and just as if it were my home, the ones paying the bill have the obligation to ensure that it is available to be used in a business appropriate manner.
IF an employer wants to make it an employee perk to get free high speed internet access while at work, let's put that on the earning statements as a non-monetary benefit, and advertise it as a benefit along with insurance and vacation time.
Where i work we have 3 groups of employees.
1. deemed to have no business need to access the internet. they can access in-house sites only.
2. deemed to have a very minimal business need to access the internet. they can access internet sites that are on a whitelist.
3. deemed to need significant internet access to perform job duties. they have access that is only limited by a few broad categories using OpenDNS (ie: no streaming audio/video, no adult sites, no sports, etc)
Feb 22, 2011 at 10:27 UTC
We have pretty much everything blocked (apart from a few selected sites), anything else has to be asked for via spiceworks.
The users are allowed to access news sites e.t.c. in between 12:30 and 13:30 (lunch) but anything other than that which isn't business related can resort in a warning...
Harsh, but fair imo....
Feb 22, 2011 at 11:02 UTC
Our systems are for business purposes. We have a couple of Linux boxes set up for the Internet which they can use during breaks/ lunch.
Had far too much time lost in the past and a few too many accidentally infected machines.
Acceptable use policy works very well and its given to everyone. Its also a good time to get to know new staff.
Feb 22, 2011 at 11:43 UTC
I would quit my job is general internet browsing was turned off. It's a draconian measure by someone who wants to make sure that "everyone's working." If you hire people that you have to worry about them slacking off then you're getting your money's worth.
Who doesn't browse the web when they have idle time? There are better ways of doing this like reporting who is spending too much time web browsing.
Feb 22, 2011 at 2:16 UTC
This might be feasible in a small company. It would be an administrative nightmare handling and responding to all those requests though. And who makes the decision as to what goes and what doesnt? From a technical perspective, this would eliminate a lot of the malware that gets through. It would also preserve bandwidth. We are considering removing Internet access from clerks and order desk staff. They have no (or very limited) need for web browsing. They would have access to a common public machine for any browsing they did need. If and when this does happen, it will not be a popular decision, and will do nothing for morale. It's much more difficult to take away something to which they have had unfettered access for years. They now perceive it as a right, not a privelege.
Feb 22, 2011 at 2:38 UTC
These kind of measures remind me of our good ole American legislative process. They create these draconian feel-good measures with no thought as to the administrative overhead (costs) of its implementation. Then when you deliver the bill everyone gets upset.
Feb 22, 2011 at 2:41 UTC
How long before you'd quit/ find alternate employment? Or do you agree with the policy?
Do I have a problem with blocking some or all non work related sites? No. It all comes down to implementation. I've worked at with over 1500 computer users when only work sites were accessible for most of the day, and a few extra sites were granted at break times. Easy to manage with the right tools and policies.
It gets kind of silly since a lot of what comes up as expected rights like personal cell phone use and Internet access in a corporate environment are taken for granted for assembly line and front line exposed workers.
My wife's a drafts person, and they have no Internet access or email at their computers because there is no business need. There is a terminal they can use if needed.
But a lot of it comes down to culture and why.
Feb 22, 2011 at 2:46 UTC
IMHO it's better to generally restrict categories. Things like porn, gambling, violence, etc..
Anything that could leave the company actionable.
Counting every minute an employee works leads them in turn to count every minute. When the clock strikes 5:00:01 they will run for the door.
I wouldn't quit over the policy, but I would try to convince the leadership that it's a management issue and NOT an IT issue.
Also, for the IT folks who would have the ability to skirt the restrictions, two points
1. It pretty certain we are going to spend some time on non work or "semi" work related sites (i.e commenting on a spiceworks community post ha ha)
2. Put ourselves in the same position as the user. Imaging having to submit and justify every site we visit to a supervisor. Hmmmmmm

If people want to mess around they find a way. I think there are a few sites (like Spice) you can spend more time on you realize, but at the end of the day that is more performance monitoring than IT monitoring.
Feb 22, 2011 at 5:25 UTC
I wouldn't mind at all. It is after all a business resource just like email. If an employer wants to ensure their bandwidth is 99.9% work related than so be it.
Feb 22, 2011 at 6:52 UTC
At the most basic level, it wouldn't bother me much. People should be doing that anyway, and it'd keep the amount of spam and spyware and such that I have to deal with down to a minimum.
Problem is, most places already have some fine print like that in their computer use policy. It's always assumed, but never enforced. Making such a big production over it here only matters if someone starts policing it. That might be what makes someone leave, as they'd rather do PC repair or technical training or network administration rather than this kind of reporting, monitoring, and auditing.
The other big change is going to be in company morale. If the new policy isn't being policed, then nothing changes - you're supposed to be working, but you could slip in a quick peek at your favorite website so long as your work gets done and nobody catches you. But even in this scenario, sending out this email and officially mandating that as policy will put everyone on edge, make them concerned over what else Big Brother is looking for, and in general puts them in an "us vs. them" mindset when it comes to dealing with IT.
It's doubtful that you'd see a drastic improvement in production, but you would see more complaints concerning technical issues, less patience for outages or delays in answering tickets, reluctance in adopting any new changes to their computing environment, and total non-cooperation if you needed to work with them in regards to an issue.
Feb 23, 2011 at 4:18 UTC
I think that restrictive internet access policies are a demotivator.
The company is saying - I don't trust you with internet access. Thats not a nice message to get from your employer.
Its just another way of using an IT policy to solve an HR issue. Some staff are abusing internet access so we'll take it away from everyone! The same staff that either had too little work to do, or who were bored will just waste time another way.
Deal with the problem users, don't impose a blanket ban.
Feb 23, 2011 at 6:28 UTC
If everyone in the organisation lives by the same rules, from the CEO up, and the company buys and maintains the right tools to control access efficiently I will live with it. The transition from 'wide open' access to something more restrictive will be painful for the surfers affected but having closed the gates once the firestorm soon settles down.
Make sure attempting to access a restricted site causes a company page to pop up re-stating the rules and telling them to contact their manager for access. That makes it clear it is a company rule, not just an IT imposition.
Feb 23, 2011 at 7:12 UTC
That type of restrictive policy really is focusing on the wrong thing. Internet abuse is a symptom of other issues and poor work ethics. People use internet abuse as a blanket excuse for low productivity and distractions. Take away the internet and people will find other ways to screw around at work. How many people have smart phones now a days? They will just use that to surf or play games and then you won't be able to monitor who does what. I have always pushed for internet usage monitoring software and then give the reports to management to use as a tool for discipline measure or grounds for termination. The only person working harder will be the IT person managing the software that blocks or allows site to certain people.
With that said blocking I do block some sites like Facebook, and other time killers, with the block being lifted during lunch hour. That wasn't done until after a months worth of reports showing a bunch of people viewing it during work hours. It is easier to block known trouble sites than give access to the unknown legit sites.
It is a crappy economy and millions of people are looking for work. Tell management to create a internet usage policy and then cut loose the slackers who can not follow that policy. It should be easy to find find people who want to work.
Feb 23, 2011 at 7:25 UTC
I see many things here. The question that comes to mind however is would you really quit a job due to their internet policies? It is their company and as stated above, providing it is not illegal, they are fine doing a policy such as this.
But it is not always the case of being fair. I know of a company that allows the CEO, Vp's, etc unlimited and unrestricted internet access, while employees are punished and have their internet taken away. Guess which group has the most malware, virus, and issues...? It is funny too as the company policy and handbook states that all employees are allowed to check personal email and sites for a resaonable time daily.
Here at work for a few weeks during the this past fall, I started printing out internet ussage by name and posted the list at my desk. In the first 3 weeks alone, internet usage dropped more than 50%. Employees made a point to swing by and check the updated list on Monday and see where they were at. Most commented saying they were no longer visiting site so-and-so. Out of all those that chatted with me about it, only one made the obvious distinction - I am fine with my internet usage as in my work I do much research online. His point, the one I did not tell anyone, was that if it is part of your work, what are you worried about? A short time late, the system administrator got scared someone would complain and took it down.
I find it funny and at the same time serious when employees say to me, "I know you are watching what we do online." If only I had the time to actually do that...
Feb 23, 2011 at 7:26 UTC
It is entirely up to the company to run their business the way they want it to.
The internet is a vital part of business, and the creation of the internet has revolutionized computing.
Creating such a blanket rule, where you block company wide is silly. People will find other ways to get onto the internet.
We have employees who have better data plans than what I can get through the company. If I were to block the internet, they would simply surf on their mobile devices.
Whats next? ban mobile devices?
You need to manage your people better.
Study's have shown a bit of distraction through out the day is actually healthy.
Feb 23, 2011 at 8:02 UTC
What I've seen is an increase in browsing on mobile devices since the web is locked down. While this may seem counter productive, at least our exposure to risk/liability is minimized. I'd rather deal with the overhead of restricted internet usage, than the overhead of unfettered Facebook usage, and access to personal email (attachments).
Getting mad because your restricted to work related web usage is like a pizza delivery guy getting upset because he can't stop by the pool hall during runs.

What kind of guy would qualify as a loser, from a girl's point of view?
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 1
Loser is a harsh word so I use it sparingly. I would call a guy a loser if he was a straight antisocial, extremely awkward creep, or if he had no ambition and wasn't trying to do anything with his life, or if he treated people like crap and was an asshole.
I know some girls would call a guy a loser for not wearing the right clothes or being cute enough, but that's another story!00|00|0
Yeah it is harsh isn't it? But I just see it around on the questions and answer here often. Just wanted to get some idea of what people take it to mean.
