Webcast: Utilize Process Improvement Methodologies to Improve HR
Tom Sonde of SilverRoad Solutions has been invited to present: Utilize Process Improvement Methodologies to Improve HR at the IHR Integrated Talent Management Webcast November 14, 2011 at 11 AM
Presentation Description
BPM, TQM, EPM, process mapping, continuous improvement, modeling, change management, and lean are just some of the buzz words currently in vogue.
Rather than define buzz words this session is designed to provide practical every day tips for successfully implementing process improvement initiatives in your organization.
The skills needed to be a good HR practitioner are not necessarily the same skills required to be successful in performing process improvement work. While some easily transition into process improvement project leaders other find it more difficult. This session will provide helpful tips for both you and your staff.
Learning Objectives
• What are the key attributes of successful projects?
• How do you approach a process improvement project?
• How do you marry best practices, process and technology?
Whitepapers on Improving HR Processes and Systems
For additional information the following two whitepapers are available at http://www.silverroad.net/
• Unlock the Hidden Value In Your HR System - What You Should Know
• Improving Inefficient HR Systems—A Key to Success
Integrated Talent Management Conference
November 14-15, 2011 http://www.hr.com/
Integrated Talent Management is all the buzz in the industry as vendors build out their product platforms and move away from offering Best of Breed Solutions to integrated solutions that manage the whole life cycle of your employee base. Most firms have an existing infrastructure that needs support, with many best of breed providers within their technology stack, that are not integrated.
Do you want that competitive edge in your professional space? Do you want to assert your knowledge of current HR topics, trends within your domain? Why not set yourself apart from your peers and get certified with HR.com and the Institutes for Human Resources (IHR).
The Institute for Human Resources (IHR), the certification and accreditation process arm of HR.com, has a program for you! Many HR professionals have a general HR degree or certification with a wide spectrum of HR functionalities learned. The IHR is the only institute that focuses on niche areas within Human Resources. A specialty certification increases your market value, adds value to your work experience, furthers your knowledge, and recognizes you as an industry leader and/or expert in the field.

18-year-old breaks 1500m record for the fourth time
Kazan: Katie Ledecky of the United States admitted she was shocked after breaking her own 1,500m freestyle record in the heats of the world swimming championships in Kazan yesterday.

The 18-year-old, who also holds the 400m and 800m records, clocked 15min 27.71sec to better the 15:28.36 secs she swam at the Pan-Pacific Games in August last year.
"My coach told me to swim the first 900m easy, build over the next 300, then the final 300 was my choice and to be honest, it felt pretty easy," said Ledecky, who came within a second of her 400m record on Sunday.
"I wasn't kicking much and I think breaking the world record is testament to the hard work I have put in and the shape I am in right now. I am pretty shocked that I was able to do that."
Ledecky only recently finished high school in Maryland, but this is the eighth time the teenager has set a world record in her fledgling career.
It is the fourth time the defending champion has broken the 1,500m record alone having first achieved the feat in Barcelona two years ago on her way to winning the world title. This is the second world record to fall in Kazan after Sweden's Sarah Sjostrom feat in the women's 100m butterfly heats on Sunday.

ABC WORLD NEWS Up from 2013 in Adults 25-54
For the week of June 9, 2014, "ABC World News with Diane Sawyer" averaged 7.265 million Total Viewers and a 1.6 rating/7 share/1.902 million in Adults 25-54, according to Nielsen Media Research. For the 3rd week in a row, "World News" built on the year-ago week in both Total Viewers (+8%) and Adults 25-54 (+14%) - 6.711 million and 1.673 million respectively, on w/o 6/10/13. In fact, "World News" grew the most year to year in overall viewers and was the only evening newscast to grow in the key adult news demo as "CBS Evening News" (+7%/-3%) and "NBC Nightly News" (+6%/-9%) were both mixed.
On Monday (6/9/14), "World News" beat "NBC Nightly News" by 27,000 demo viewers (2.138 million vs. 2.111 million) to deliver the week's No. 1 Adults 25-54 telecast. In fact, it was the 5th straight week for "World News" to own the week's top demo telecast.
"World News" cut its year to year gap with "NBC Nightly News" in Total Viewers by 10% (1.175 million vs. 1.308 million), while slashing its Adults 25-54 margin by 81% (103,000 vs. 534,000).
Season to date, "World News" is up versus the same point last season in both Total Viewers (+4%) and Adults 25-54 (+5%), delivering its most-watched season in 5 years and best news demo number in 3 years - since the 2008-09 and the 2010-11 seasons, respectively. "World News" also stands as the only evening newscast to improve on its news demo performance from the previous season compared to "CBS Evening News" (-5%) and "NBC Nightly News" (-2%).
In addition, "World News" is narrowing its season margin with "NBC Nightly News" in Adults 25-54 by double digits (-47% - 170,000 vs. 322,000) compared to its season margin from the same point last year. In fact, cutting its Adults 25-54 gap for the 3rd consecutive season, "World News" is seeing its closest news demo performance with the NBC program in 6 years - since the 2007-08 season.
"World News" has nearly doubled its Adults 25-54 lead over "CBS Evening News" versus its year-ago season lead (+97% - 400,000 vs. 203,000).
For the week, "ABC World News" beat the "CBS Evening News" by 1.217 million Total Viewers and by 531,000 Adults 25-54.
Note: Due to the NBA Finals Game 3 on Tuesday (6/10/14) and Game 4 on Thursday (6/12/14), "World News" was retitled "Wrld News Tonite" on each night and each telecast was excluded from the averages. In addition, due to U.S. Open Golf on Thursday (6/12/14) and the NHL Finals Game 5 on Friday (6/13/14), "Nightly News" was retitled "Nitely News" and each telecast was excluded from the average. ABC's averages (Mon, Wed and Fri) and NBC's averages (Mon - Wed) are based on three days and CBS' on five days.

Le Tallec nets first Reds goal
By Alex Livie
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Milan Baros and Emile Heskey netted braces, with Vladimir Smicer scoring the other during an excellent workout for Gerard Houllier`s side.
Smicer netted the opener on the quarter hour, stroking home from inside the box.
Heskey raced clear to double the lead, while French ace Le Tallec scored his first Reds goal 15 minutes from time thanks to great work from Baros.
Baros scored twice late on as The Reds took control, with Heskey netting his second in injury-time.
Alan Smith and Mark Viduka scored for Leeds, but the strike duo could not prevent The Whites from slipping to a 4-2 defeat at Burnley.
Richard Chaplow fired The Clarets in front on eight minutes, but the lead was short-lived as Viduka tapped in from a corner.
Ian Moore nodded Burnley in front minutes later, but the impressive Smith hauled Leeds level before the break.
Burnley took control after the interval, with Robbie Blake scoring from the spot after being fouled by David Batty. A second penalty from Ian Moore sealed the home side`s win.
A Newcastle XI fell to a 3-2 defeat at Livingston. Tresor Lomana Lua Lua was on the scoresheet for The Magpies, as was Calvin Zola-Makongo, but the SPL side proved too strong.

'Every year, SA companies flush R19 billion down the drain in sick leave payouts!'
Discover all the steps you must take today to ensure your company only pays what it really has to when it comes to sick employees…
The question our labour experts received is as follows:
'I have an employee that takes two days' sick leave every month on various days of the week. She does produce a doctor's note, but we would like to know if there's anything we can do to break this trend.'
Our experts at the Labour & HR Club say, in this instance, you need to investigate whether the employee is in fact ill. If she isn't and she's forged the doctor's notes, take disciplinary action.
What's the charge?
In this article, we explained that if, after you've investigated, you find out the medical certificate is false or that your employee altered it, you must discipline your employee for misconduct.
'You can charge your employee with dishonesty because he willfully lied to you when he produced a false or altered medical certificate. You can also charge him with fraud because he produced the false or altered medical certificate to get sick pay to which he wasn't entitled.'
There's one more thing you need to do to break this trend and curb sick leave abuse…
Do your employees abuse their leave?
Get your leave policies and procedures here...
In addition to taking disciplinary action against your employee, the experts recommend you warn your employee that this is now becoming a habitual problem. Warn him that this could lead to an incapacity process since it's affecting your business requirements.
It's that simple. If you have more questions regarding managing sick leave, sick leave or sick leave abuse, ask them here.

I'm trying to get our DNS cleared up and I'm noticing a few things:
Our external website hosted on an ISP's server is pingable if I ping www.domain.com.
However, if I ping the root of the domain i.e. domain.com I get host unreachable.
The last admin had forward lookup zones for this domain so folks could hit the iNotes and Lotus Traveler server internally from the same address as they would externally.
Rather than bandaid the fix here, is there a better way to do this?
The whole reason I found this out is because our website is showing down under Cloud Services.
6 Replies
Oct 4, 2011 at 12:00 UTC
This is usually caused by the AD domain being the same as your website.
If that's the case, the real solution is to rename the internal domain - e.g. from domain.com to domain.local . It's not trivial, as you can imagine. Here's an overview:
So you may want to consider living with a workaround solution, which is described well here :
Oct 4, 2011 at 1:08 UTC
like Paolotto says...
is your AD Domain the exact same?
domain.com when the more standard approach would have been domain.local?
if not the same... simple dns fix on the ISP dns registrar.... basically a www cname for the domain but there are cleaner ways to do this...
most hosts do this now by default...
Oct 4, 2011 at 2:38 UTC
The AD domain is domain.lan where the WWW domain is domain.com.
Oct 5, 2011 at 3:26 UTC
Probably to do with your DNS records.. Maybe they don't have settings for a blank record. Check with your DNS hosting panel and set the same up.
Oct 5, 2011 at 4:21 UTC
You need to add a DNS record:
Type: Cname
Name: www.domain.com
Record: domain.com
TTL: whatever your dns TTL is
Oct 10, 2011 at 1:25 UTC
This had to do with a forward lookup zone in our AD DNS configuration.
We had domain.com listed.
I've resolved this but need to ask another question which I will.

PHILADELPHIA – David Geatz, the Albert G. Molloy Head Coach of Men's Tennis, is proud to officially announce the 2014-15 University of Pennsylvania men's tennis captains. Senior Jeremy Court and junior Vim De Alwis were named to lead the other 14 members of the Red and Blue squad.
"We are very lucky to have both Jeremy and Vim serving as our 2014-15 co-captains," said Geatz.
"Jeremy is not only one of our best players but is well respected by all his teammates. He's going to provide us with great senior leadership. As for Vim, he isone of the hardest working, most dedicated members of the Quaker squad.He is the type of player who leads by example. Vim is quiet but very determined and will be a great captain."
Last spring Court went 8-11, collecting five wins at the No. 3 spot, two at No. 2, and one at No. 4. He finished the 2013 fall season with a 12-4 record, going a perfect 4-0 in singles at the Penn Invitational and the Gopher Invite. This past weekend, Court was a perfect 3-0 in singles and 3-0 in doubles.
As a freshman, De Alwis posted the most wins in the spring with a record of 14-4, playing at the No. 5 and 6 singles spots. Last year he went 9-8 while playing at the No. 2 and 1 spots.
As well as playing singles, both Court and De Alwis play doubles. Over the past two years, the duo has a combined 5-8 record when playing together.
Get to know the 2014-15 men's tennis captains
What has your tennis experience been like at Penn and what is your outlook for this season?
Jeremy: "Both Vim and I are extremely excited for the upcoming season. We have a great group of freshmen this year along with a number of returning players who are all determined to improve on previous year's results. Going into my final year of college tennis here at Penn, I'm looking forward to my last shot at helping our team compete for an Ivy League title."
Vim: "Being on the tennis team means so much to me because it's honestly the best part of my college experience. To share the highs and lows with such a great group of guys is something I wish all students in college were lucky enough to get the chance to do.
"We have some really good recruits this year, ability-wise, and they are really nice guys too, which to me, is really important as well. They all work really hard and could contest for a starting spot in our lineup come the spring. I'm really optimistic about what we can do as a team this year because we have a group of guys who are really committed to working hard and working for each other. It's a great recipe for success. Winning our home tournament this past weekend has really made all the guys believe we can be a contender for the Ivy League title this year!"
What are your thoughts on being named captain?
Vim: "It's a great honor and it means a lot to me to be voted captain by the other guys on the team. I think we have so many great, hardworking guys on the team that any of them could have been named captain, I'm just lucky to be part of a team like that."
Tell us something about the other captain.
Jeremy: "Vim has always been a hard worker from the moment he got here and is a great example for our team. We will work together to make sure that our team is ready to perform when the spring season arrives, and that we give ourselves the best chance to produce results that our amazing tennis alumni can be proud of."
Vim: "Even though Jeremy is a year older than me in school, he has been my best friend on the team. We share so many of the same interests, so I end up spending more time with him than any other guy. When I took my official visit to Penn I stayed with Jeremy and I had a great time with him and thought he was a really good dude. That's probably when the friendship started. Then ever since moving out of the dorms I've lived with him in the same house (so for two years now) and I've really enjoyed it. I think he is by far the most talented player on our team and has aspects of his game which I personally will never develop, they are that advanced. Our friendship off the court makes tough decisions that we have to make as captains a lot easier, and I'm really excited to share the reins with someone I'm so close to. He's a great guy and we are lucky to have him on our team."

Mediterranean fanworm found in Pilot Bay
Wednesday, 25 September 2013 2:15 p.m.
Bay of Plenty Regional Council has confirmed that a single specimen of the invasive aquatic pest Mediterranean fanworm (Sabella spallanzanii) has been found at Pilot Bay in Tauranga Harbour.
"It's extremely disappointing that this unwanted organism has appeared in Bay of Plenty waters," said Warwick Murray, General Manager Natural Resource Operations.
"It's most likely the organism was brought here on the hull of a boat. Boat owners must remember to regularly clean their boat hull, keep their anti-fouling paint in good order, and ensure the hull is clean before they travel to a new region."
"At this stage only a single specimen has been found in Tauranga Harbour, and we will immediately survey the Harbour to establish if there are more," he said.
On 13 September, a University of Waikato diver found a single Mediterranean fanworm growing from a rock near the bathing sheds at Pilot Bay. The Ministry for Primary Industries confirmed it's Sabella spallanzanii.
The Council is now developing a delimiting survey to ascertain the scale of the problem, with help from MPI and the University of Waikato, and plans to start this survey next week.
Mediterranean fanworm can grow in dense, thick mats that compete with native plants and animals for nutrients and space. It can interfere with boat equipment and aquaculture, and affect recreational activities like diving by changing the underwater character. Once well established, it's very hard, or even impossible, to eradicate.
Along with Auckland Harbour, Mediterranean fanworm is also found in Lyttleton and Whangarei Harbours, and was discovered on two barges in Coromandel Harbour earlier this year.

Questions and Answers
How did Mediterranean Fanworm get to Tauranga Harbour?
The pest may have been brought here on the hull of a boat from an area where Mediterranean fanworm is well established.
This is an unfortunate reminder of the overwhelming importance of boat owners regularly checking and cleaning their boat hulls, using anti-fouling paint on the hulls, and checking especially carefully before they take their boat to a new region.
Why is it an issue?
Tauranga Harbour is a taonga, a treasure, for the Bay of Plenty. We treasure the native flora and fauna that live in the Harbour, and we want them to thrive.
Mediterranean fanworm can grow in dense, thick mats that compete with native plants and animals for nutrients and space. It can interfere with boat equipment and aquaculture, and affect recreational activities like diving by changing the underwater character. Once well established, it's very hard, or even impossible, to eradicate.
So it's vital that we act as quickly as possible to establish its spread and prevent further spreading if possible.
It seems to be a 'random finding'. Does the Council monitor pest plants and animals in the Harbour?
Tauranga Harbour is part of a formal surveillance programme carried out by NIWA on behalf of MPI. The last survey was completed earlier this year and found no evidence of Mediterranean fanworm. We believe this is a new incursion.
We encourage anyone who thinks they have found a pest plant or animal to take a sample and report it straightaway to the Ministry for Primary Industries.
How will I recognise Mediterranean fanworm?
It has a brownish/grey tube of up to 40 centimetres in length. At the top of this tube is a single white fan, banded with pale orange or brown. It often grows in clumps, although the specimen found recently was growing alone.
The Mediterranean fanworm does look like some native New Zealand fanworms, but is larger.
Whilst it may look like a plant, the fanworm is an animal. It's a worm that lives inside a tube, it uses the fan on the end to feed and take oxygen from the sea.
What should I do if I think I've found one?
Take a photo, or even better a sample. Seal the sample in a plastic bag with a small amount of seawater, and chill – don't freeze.
Note the exact location and date where you found it.
Contact MPI on the pest diseases hotline, 0800 80 99 66.
What will you do if the survey in Tauranga Harbour finds lots of Mediterranean fanworm?
We don't know what actions will be appropriate until we have the results of the survey. We need to get that information first.
Where else in New Zealand is Mediterranean Fanworm found?
The organism is established in Lyttleton, Auckland, and Whangarei Harbours

Report: Syria Ordered Hizbollah to Stop Attacks on Israel in Wake of US Attacks
Syria has instructed the Lebanese Hizbollah to stop attacks on Israel at this stage, in the wake of the terrorist attacks in the US and the American declarations of war against terrorism, Israeli scrutiny sources told Haaretz newspaper on Thursday .
Syria is on the State Department's list of countries that support terror and "there are apparently fears in Damascus that continued terrorist attacks against Israel by Hizbollah will draw American attention toward Syria," said the sources.
Meanwhile, Hizbollah accused Washington of planning to target legitimate Middle East "resistance" movements when it retaliates for last week's terror attacks, reports said Wednesday.
"The US only sees the Middle East through Israeli eyes, this is why they spill a flood of accusations against movements of resistance and national liberation," Hizbollah said in a statement published by several newspapers, cited by AFP.
"At the same time, the US closes its eyes on the threat constituted by the Zionist entity on the entire region," it said.
Hizbollah was reacting to recent remarks by US Secretary of State Colin Powell to an Arab satellite television channel that the Lebanese guerrilla group was a threat to the region.
On Tuesday, the US ambassador to Lebanon, Vincent Battle, also said Lebanon was still harboring groups that Washington considers as "terrorist."
"These declarations show the determination of the Americans to pursue their unjust policy, a policy through which the American administration can only reap more hate from the peoples of the region," Hizbollah said.
After the September 11 terrorist attacks which destroyed the World Trade Center in New York and damaged the Pentagon outside Washington Hezbollah said that it "regrets the deaths of innocent people in any part of the world."
Lebanese President Emile Lahoud also said on Monday that there was a "need to differentiate between these acts (in the United States) and between the resistance which aims at liberating the land from occupation."
Lebanese national Ziad Samir Jarrah, 26, is on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's list of suspects in the US terror attacks – Albawaba.com

1. I used the action Boost and I contrasted and brightened the photo.
2. I made this assignment my own by taking a picture of the same type of cups.
3. In my photo I would change what I set the cups on for a better picture and maybe focus on just one or two cups.
4. I really like the light on my picture and at first glance a person may not be able to tell they are cups so I like that too!

Georgia Tech 77, Presbyterian 64
ATLANTA - Anthony Morrow knew very little about the Presbyterian College before the season.
Suffice it to say he knows plenty about the Blue Hose now.
"We had to get over the fact that it was Presbyterian-Georgia Tech," he said. "We had to look at it like it's a game and we've got to come in and take care of business. Once we did that, we started pulling away."
Morrow scored 16 points and freshmen Moe Miller and Gani Lawal 13 each in Georgia Tech's 77-64 victory over Presbyterian on Sunday.
The Yellow Jackets (7-6) led by 17 on Alade Aminu's dunk with 16:26 remaining, but Presbyterian only trailed by two on Josh Johnson's 3 with 3:33 remaining.
Tech answered with another 3 by Morrow, a steal and dunk by D'Andre Bell and a basket by Lawal to make it 71-62 with 1:54 left.
The Blue Hose (1-19), playing their first season in Division I before debuting next year in the Big South Conference, have lost 11 straight games, all on the road.
Pierre Miller had 18 points for Presbyterian, which never led after Al'lonzo Coleman's free throw made it 19-17.
The Blue Hose were playing their third game in five days against an Atlantic Coast Conference opponent, losing by seven at North Carolina State and by 12 at Wake Forest.
Coleman finished with 15 points. Johnson and Pat Kiscaden each had 12 for Presbyterian, which has an enrollment of 1,200 that ranks second-lowest behind Centenary in Division I.
The strategy of Presbyterian coach Gregg Nibert, to run down the shot clock before attempting 3s, worked efficiently, and the Jackets struggled offensively. Tech scored just two points, a layup by Zack Peacock, during a nine-minute stretch in which the Blue Hose cut the lead from 15 to two.
Miller, Johnson and Kiscaden finished the game a combined 14-for-27 on 3-point attempts. The Blue Hose have taken 500 shots beyond the arc this season, 137 more than their opponents.
"We have to make the 3 to win," Nibert said. "If we had made 15 3s against Wake and one or two more against N.C. State, we have a chance to win those games. We shot the ball really well."
Tech was coming off a two-point home loss against Florida State, falling to 0-1 in the ACC. The Jackets, who have won three of four, visit Georgia on Wednesday.
Coleman 3-5 9-13 15, Sligh 0-0 0-0 0, Lamb 1-3 0-0 2, Johnson 4-8 0-1 12, Bostic 0-1 0-0 0, Miller 6-11 0-0 18, Kiscaden 4-10 0-0 12, Harmon 0-0 0-0 0, Allen 1-4 2-2 5. Totals 19-42 11-16 64.
Lawal 5-7 3-9 13, Smith 2-5 0-0 4, Clinch 3-7 0-0 7, Causey 0-2 0-0 0, Morrow 4-7 4-4 16, Miller 3-7 4-4 13, Storrs 0-1 0-0 0, Bell 2-2 4-4 8, Peacock 5-6 2-4 12, Aminu 2-2 0-0 4. Totals 26-46 17-25 77.
Halftime- Georgia Tech 38-33. 3-Point Goals-Presbyterian 15-31 (Miller 6-10, Johnson 4-5, Kiscaden 4-9, Allen 1-4, Bostic 0-1, Lamb 0-2), Georgia Tech 8-16 (Morrow 4-5, Miller 3-5, Clinch 1-4, Peacock 0-1, Causey 0-1). Fouled Out-Sligh. Rebounds-Presbyterian 20 (Johnson, Sligh 4), Georgia Tech 31 (Lawal 9). Assists-Presbyterian 17 (Miller 4), Georgia Tech 18 (Bell 5). Total Fouls-Presbyterian 20, Georgia Tech 18. A-9,191.
For Tech coach Paul Hewitt, the improvement of Moe Miller, a second-team point guard, is steadily coming after he suffered a strained back that sidelined him for three games in November.
Miller, who played 24 minutes to starter Matt Causey's 10, finished with one assist, hit all four of his free-throw attempts and had no turnovers.
"Every time I see him in the cafeteria or around the building, I say, 'Just don't turn the ball over, Moe,' '' Hewitt said. "He looks at me and recites it back, 'I know, coach. Don't turn the ball over.' "
Morrow, a senior guard, believes the team's younger players are ready to face the Bulldogs this week.
"It's a huge game for us, especially for our young guys like Gani, Moe and Lance (Storrs)," Morrow said. "(Beating Presbyterian ) will give them a lot of confidence going into a rivalry game like that."

UP AND COMING: Chris O'Donnell; From College To Prep School
By SUSAN CHIRA
Published: January 10, 1993
It would be easy to pity Chris O'Donnell.
His eyes are innocent. His face looks as if it had never been shaved. His manner is gentle and almost self-effacing. This is a 22-year-old who shares the screen in the new film "Scent of a Woman" as Al Pacino enjoys his greatest star turn in years as a blind, embittered former soldier reveling in the sins of New York City.
Yet in life, as in his movie, Mr. O'Donnell is very much at ease. It is not arrogance, but a calm self-possession that allows the Boston College marketing major who grew up in Winnetka, Ill., to hold his own.
Janet Maslin of The Times wrote that Mr. O'Donnell, as a young prep school student who is hired to look after Mr. Pacino for the weekend, "has the tough job of weathering every 'Ha!' or 'Hoo-wah!' from Mr. Pacino without jeopardizing his role as straight man, and he does this stalwartly."
Mr. O'Donnell has had no formal acting training -- this is an actor just begging to be described as a natural, and everyone does. He has won praise for his performances in four previous films, among them "Men Don't Leave" and "School Ties." But only during the auditions for "Scent of a Woman" did he decide that he wanted to make acting his career.
So the actor, who got his start because his sister met a local talent agent at a wedding, hedged his bets -- hence the major in marketing. "My mind is really money- and number-oriented," he said over tea in the Mark Hotel on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. "I was taking a class in modernism and art -- poetry, novels, operas. It was neat to read about this stuff, but I'd rather read the business section."
He rowed crew in college, tried but dropped acting classes and mostly stayed away from fellow thespians. ("One play I tried out for because a girl I wanted to date was trying out for it -- as soon as I started going out with her, I quit the play.") But he kept auditioning for movie roles and taking time off from college to play them. "Scent of a Woman," he knew, was a pivotal test.
"In the other films, I was unsure: did they hire me because I'm a regular kid unaffected by the business or because of my acting ability?" he said. "I figured if I can get the film, I can prove it to myself."
Martin Brest, his director in "Scent of a Woman," and Peter Kelley, the acting coach who helps him prepare for auditions, had no such doubts. There was little need to give Mr. O'Donnell specific direction, Mr. Brest said; trying to teach him was like trying to "teach somebody how to make his heart beat."
Although Mr. O'Donnell worked hard on his role, Mr. Brest's favorite memory of the filming was during rehearsals for a tense family Thanksgiving scene. After two hours when Mr. Brest explained everyone's character, history and motivation, the director happened to glance over at Mr. O'Donnell, who was playing "Game Boy" on his computer.
The day after the celebrity-packed premiere, Mr. O'Donnell, with a term paper due and three finals looming, faced the prospect of "going back from the Mark Hotel to my scummy apartment with no food in the fridge." He wants to finish college, but his next goal is to break out of prep-school roles. His acting coach thinks he shouldn't worry too much about being typecast in the kind of part he had in "Scent of a Woman."
"This works very well because of what he is -- a fundamentally nice guy from suburban Illinois, and that's what you see," Mr. Kelley said. "My discussion with him is, at this age, why isn't that enough to do? You'll get those scars, trust me. Right now you get what you are, and that's nice."

I am wanting to make some snowflake cookie. I use RBC and royal to decorate. What kind of sugar could I use to go on the royal to give it some sparkle? Or what do you think would work best?
Thanks for the help!
You can buy Sanding sugar. They come is a variety of colors.
Sanding sugar, coarse sugar or sparkling sugar. All slightly different, all will work.
Even regular old sugar will work. I like to tint some of it real light blue.
One thing that I forgot to ask is the best way of applying the sugar. I will have RBC as my base coat and will use royal to decorate. I am wanting to put the sugar on the royal. What is the best way to go about it?
Thanks again!
I place a sheet of parchment under the cookies and sprinkle the sugar on then gently shake off the excess and gather it up and re-apply.
You can also fold the parchment and have better aim by just letting it slide off the fold.

With the development of microelectronics, the demand for silicon wafers is greatly increased for various purposes, especially the use of thin wafers for smart cards, cellular phones and stacked packages. In this paper, we describe an innovative scheme of combining wavelength scanning interferometry (4 nm tuning range centered at 1550 nm) with spectroscopic reflectometry that enables us to measure the thickness profile of thin wafers below 100 μm with high thickness resolution. The performance of this method is compared with that of an existing technique and verified by measuring several thin wafers.

I keep seeing cakes with wires in them holding up little decorations and beads, things like that. Very cute idea. So, I made a cake and made little butterflies on wires to stick in the top. When I put them in, the wire tore the fondant. How do you do this without damaging the fondant?
You may want to check out this thread about using wires in cakes. Good information.
What I have done is cut out the shape kind of thick, that way the wire can go in smoothly. Also, I heat my wire and then insert it into my fondant design (ball, butterfly etc). When the wire is hot it acts like an adhesive and glues the wire to the fondant. Hope this helps
Ok... first what kind of wire did you use?
It is best to use floral wire approx 20 gauge. You don't put the wire directly into the cake .. 1) It isn't foodsafe, could contain lead. 2) it won't stay up.
You need to put the wire end that goes into the cake into a straw, coffee stirrer, posey pick. I use coffee stirrers. if using a straw or something bigger put a ball of fondant into the end then insert the wire.
I love this site! You guys are great! That is exactly what I needed!
Thank you!!

Q&A Panel
Working with Themes & Plugins
For the Love of Blogging
Best practices, tips and tricks, and a little something sweet from three seasoned bloggers. This interactive discussion will touch on everything you ever wanted to know about blogging. Whether blogging is your business, your passion, or a dream waiting to happen, this panel's for you.
The Mad Men Guide to Creating Website Content
The Mad Men Guide to Creating Website Content It will focus on the basic principles of storytelling for creating website content, using the TV show Mad Men as an example.
Beginning WordPress Plugin Development with the Simplest Possible Plugin
Making the leap to writing your own WordPress plugin can seem impossible, but you can make it easy! In this talk, I'll show you how to write the simplest possible WordPress plugin. The plugin won't be able do much, but after writing it you will. You'll learn how to add your own javascript, css, and php while making sure that all the code you write works correctly with WordPress and any other plugins you run.
The truth is that working with WordPress plugins opens up a new universe of creativity and it's easy to feel a little overwhelmed by it. Some of the best plugins can have thousands of lines of code and might even interact with several web services. If that's what a plugin needs to be, how could anyone ever get started? The solution is to figure out a Minimum Viable Plugin and start learning by creating the smallest plugin we can get away with.
You'll be surprised how far you can go just by writing simple plugins, too. Sometimes, you just want to slightly tweak the functionality of WordPress, or even another plugin, and a simple plugin will get the job done. We'll look at a few other small plugins I've written that make the WordPress sites they run on a little friendlier or just work better.
And, after you've built the simplest possible plugin, you can try developing the second simplest possible plugin on your own. We'll talk about a few ideas you might like to try next. And once you've made a few simple plugins, you'll find yourself making plugins that might have seemed to hard to even begin before. There's a while lot of plugin development to do after you make the simplest possible plugin, but it's an excellent way to get started.
People First: Accessibility Considerations for WordPress Theme Developers
Accessibility is a growing concern in the WordPress community at large. Accessibility in web design means creating a site that everyone can use. The U.S. Census Bureau says that over 47 million Americans have a disability of some kind. The UN and the World Bank say this adds up to 650 million people worldwide. That's around 10% of everyone in the world. At some point in our lives, disability will affect most of us, no matter who you are. Every decision you make as a developer affects hundreds of thousands of people (or more!).
The mission statement of WordPress is to democratize publishing through Open Source, GPL software. WordPress 'out of the box' is already a great way to make a website accessible. As theme developers we can do more. People who can't see or hear, others that can't use a mouse, people who use special assistive devices to access the web — these people need to access websites. As theme developers, we need to know about accessibility.
Accessibility Statement: "Accessibility is the degree to which a product, device, service, or environment is available to as many people as possible." Cynthia Waddell
There are 2,655 themes in the WordPress.org theme repository. Only 12 of those themes have the tag 'accessibility-ready'. We can meet those accessibility guidelines with just a few extras steps. We will start with basic things like creating readable headlines and adding alt text to images. From there we will cover some of the information in the Section 508 and WCAG 2.0 Guidelines.
I'll also provide real world examples from the perspective of my visually impaired son.
We are all responsible for making our part of a project accessible. You will need to shake things and change your processes a bit in order to achieve accessibility.
Scoping Projects
Knowing how to "right-size" a project is one of the most challenging tasks and some will argue that if you say you're good at estimating, then you're really good at lying. However, this is a reality of writing contracts and it's important to know what you're doing so that you don't lose time, money, your reputation or perhaps your sanity.
Choosing the Right E-Commerce Platform for YOUR Needs
You might have the next best thing and you want to sell it online. It could be a book, some music, a trendy t-shirt, an entire collection of baseball cards, furniture, of even software. Or maybe someone you know has this product and you want to help them sell it online. well before you get cold hard cash in your bank account you need to make a decision about which e-commerce platform you want to use. There are hundreds of platforms each with their own pros and cons. I'm going to give you a set of tools you can use to determine which of these platforms is right for you. We'll look at hosted, self hosted, customizable, easy to use, platforms for one product, platforms for thousands of products, scalability, payment options, configurable products, simple products, native WordPress solutions, non-WordPress solutions, and of course your budget to help you determine which e-commerce platform is the right one for your project.
Your First WordPress Site
When many of us take the dive to set up our first WordPress site, whether it's for yourself or a client it's easy to lose enormous amounts of time. For many veteran WordPress developers it is very easy to forget that first experience of stumbling through the dashboard, or sifting through countless plugins. I will walk through the process of getting a domain to launching a basic site.
Building High Performance WordPress Websites
Performance optimization is an oft-overlooked aspect of creating great user experiences. Optimizing the critical rendering path, eliminating unnecessary roundtrips, and other optimization techniques can have a huge impact on your bottom line.
In this session, we'll take a look at some of the ways you can improve the performance of your websites, with a specific focus on building high performance WordPress websites.
Foundation Framework
Building a Church Website on WordPress
A Secret Clubhouse for Clients: Using the P2 Theme for Internal and Project Communications
This presentation can apply both to organizations looking for a WordPress-based system for internal communications, and to web professionals who want an efficient, simple setup for communicating with clients.
I'll cover from start to finish the process of setting up a "secret clubhouse" on WordPress, including:
- A brief overview of the p2 theme, created by Automattic for internal communications.
- Demonstration of a sample version of the p2 theme, with discussion of recommended plugins to enhance the basic functionality of the theme.
- Explanation of how to create a simple child theme of p2 that allows for customization consistent with one's overall brand
- Overview of setting up a simple multisite installation, creating a site for each client by cloning an initial, configured-just-right version of the site.
Running a Business While Traveling the World
How do you coordinate with clients when you are 10 time zones away?
What do you do when a client needs you but you're flying over an ocean?
How do you get work done when living in a new place every week?
Daniel will share what he's learned about running a sustainable WordPress business while traveling the world with his family.
Anatomy of a WordPress Theme
The theme of your site at minimum controls how your site looks and many times may offer a multitude of the functionality. The basics of understanding how WordPress themes work is understanding patterns in the 3–5 core files that are required for a theme.
This sessions walks you through a cursory overview of each of these files so you understand how they all work together to create a WordPress theme.
Development Environments in Distributed Teams using Vagrant
In a distributed working environment with employees spanning multiple countries, it's very important to get everyone using the same tools for stable development and deployment. I'll walk through the vagrant provisioning process, 3rd party services, and home grown tools that make us successful with our Enterprise clients.
Optimizing Development Workflow Using Gulp
gulp is a node.js JavaScript task runner that helps you automate your development workflow. This session will take a look at leveraging gulp to speed up WordPress theme development
Some items we will cover are using Gulp for:
- Sass compilation
- CSS auto prefixing
- Image optimization
- Javascript concatenation and minification
- Auto injection with BrowserSync
- And much more
Integrating WordPress with External APIs
WordPress is amazing, flexible software, but it doesn't do everything. Facebook, PayPal, MailChimp, Basecamp, slideshare, and Google Maps are just a few examples of places that are already doing something well, and you can integrate your WordPress site with them through their APIs. However, there are right and wrong ways to do this, especially if you want to distribute your solution to others. I start from the beginning, introducing people to the WordPress HTTP library helper functions, then bring lots of code examples from my plugins show start to finish how to integrate the right way.
Securing WordPress the Right Way
Securing WordPress The Right Way There's a lot of information out there on making WordPress as secure as possible. Some of it is great and some of it, well, not so great. My session will walk users through numerous tips and tricks for securing WordPress the right way from the start. In addition we'll look at a few security misconceptions in an attempt to sort the good information from the bad and keep you from becoming the next victim.
Getting More Comments on Your Business Blog – How to Increase Customer Engagement
I have been running some experiments on my company's blog for the past couple years to try to increase quality customer comments. My talk will outline what worked, what didn't work, and how to address common problems that come up as a blog's audience grows.
Re-Imagine Marketing and Blogging through Authentic Storytelling
Getting a blog setup and going is just the start.
This section will help get the most out of your new WordPress blog. Search algorithms change. Social networks evolve and sometimes fizzle away.
One thing that isn't going anywhere is the consumer's need for relevant, educational, compelling and helpful information. The brands that feed this need — in the most relevant manner — will have the most customers, advocates and will make the most money!
This interactive session – led by IMA Master Storyteller and Executive Council Member Christoph Trappe – shares how you'll steer your blog toward digital excellence by sharing authentic stories that align consumers with your business goals. It will help your organization stay relevant with today's and tomorrow's connected consumers.
You will learn how to:
- Define your content goals
- Get buy-in from key people in the organization

Four Steps to Determine Value and Start Pricing
Most service professionals (designers, web developers, consultants, etc.) charge the customer by hour. The problem is there is no correlation between how long something takes (the hours) and the result the customer wants (the value). No one ever asked a car dealer how long it took to make a vehicle.
What is really important to the customer, even if he does not realize it, is the result your craft will help him achieve. If you insist on identifying the value first, you can help the customer make better choices and contribute to a real impact on his life and business.
So, how do you do it? There are four core steps to learning to determine value and start pricing. In this session, you will learn the four steps and how to implement them in your business. Explore the fear that comes with a new business model, questions you should ask the customer, and how you can set a price based on the value you help create.

Why would a guy date another girl when he likes a different one?
Most Helpful Guy
Sure. Especially if it seems to him like he can't have the girl he first girl, then yes. If she seems off limits, or like she doesn't have any interest in him, or if she's taken, or some other reason, then yeah, it's possible he'd date someone else. I did.
The girl I am with now, I once told her how I felt about her, and she shot me down. So after a couple weeks someone else came along, who I also started to like (though truthfully not as much) and I dated her. The reason I did it was I made a move, she told me she wasn't interested, so I moved on, and I found someone else. As I said, I did like her too, just not as much. The relationship ended, after a couple of months of me dating her, and shortly after, the girl who shot me down told me she had feelings for me too, that developed over that time.
The point is, there are a number of reasons why somebody would date somebody else even though they like someone first. Sometimes they just have their reasons for not dating that person, or not being able to date that person at that time, and so they just sorta accept it, and try to move on, and find someone else. Sometimes that someone else is good enough, or even better, so it sticks. Sometimes that person is nothing more than a second choice, or a rebound. Sometimes they still can't get over the first person.
But yes, people do, in fact, do this. It might suck, but it happens.64|20|0
