5 Communications Feature 1 Introductions More Than Just a First Impression Introductions, whether presenting yourself or introducing others, set the tone and help determine the future of the relationship between those being introduced. In a business setting, the purpose of introductions is to lay the foundation for a working relationship between two or more people. An effective introduction is important because it creates a strong and lasting impression, which allows the listener to recall your name and connect you with a positive professional image. Suggestions for an effective business introduction are: Offer a greeting, followed by the clear statement of your first and last name. ( Hello, my name is Lucia Delgado. ) If appropriate, explain how you prefer to be addressed. ( Please call me Lucia. ) Give your title and purpose for meeting. ( I'm the director of sales with Fashions Unlimited. I'd like to talk with you about carrying our line. ) Present a firm handshake and make eye contact. Keep in mind that this step may be adapted for various cultures. Offer your business card. You may find yourself in the position of introducing individuals to one another. Business meetings may be one such setting. Good methods for conducting introductions in a business meeting include the following: Ask all participants to introduce themselves, using names and titles. Begin with yourself. Introduce yourself as well as everyone else at the meeting. Ask one or more co-workers to introduce meeting participants. Special attention to etiquette is necessary when making introductions with international or cross-cultural individuals. Following are some techniques for effective international/cross-cultural introductions: Avoid using slang or jargon your listener may be offended by or not understand. Enunciate words carefully and speak a bit more slowly when addressing individuals whose first language is not English. Try to eliminate cultural stereotypes you may believe in; focus on the individual. Avoid gestures; some could be offensive to the listener. If you have the opportunity, study the individual's cultural background to be aware of appropriate conventions for introductions. It is important to be culturally sensitive when making introductions as different groups of people have different rules of etiquette. As a result, individuals may be offended, scared, or even repulsed by actions that may be appropriate for your cultural group but inappropriate for others. If you are not prepared, you could lose their business. South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning Communications Features 1

7 Communications Feature 2 Resolving Conflict Conflict can be defined quite simply as competing differences between two or more people. These differences are often caused by struggles over goals, motives, values, ideas, and resources. Believe it or not, conflict can be both good and bad, depending upon the results of the conflict. The consequences of negative, unresolved conflict are decreased productivity, low employee morale, and heightened workplace tensions. These all have the potential to damage the success of a business. However, conflict of the right nature can be beneficial to business. For example, friendly conflict can encourage competition, diverse thinking, creativity, and a wider variety of solutions to business problems. Prevention is the solution to many problems, including workplace conflict. Some tips for preventing negative conflict in the workplace include the following: Be open to others ideas; listen before making up your mind. Avoid stereotyping your co-workers and superiors. Do not use language or expressions that may be offensive or demeaning to others. Disagree constructively; offer alternative suggestions or solutions rather than simply rejecting others ideas. Above all, treat your co-workers and superiors with the respect you want them to show you. Unfortunately, conflict cannot always be avoided. All types of conflict can arise, from personality clashes to conflict over business ideas. The following strategies can be helpful in managing conflict with coworkers: Intervention: Ask a co-worker or supervisor to provide a setting for conflict resolution between you and those with whom you are in conflict. A supervisor also might speak on your behalf to the coworker with whom you are in conflict. Confrontation: Approach the co-worker with whom you are having trouble. Both of you must recognize the problem and then work together toward a solution. Compromise: If the conflict involves a disagreement over a particular business issue, you might work out a compromise solution. For example, you may agree with your co-worker s idea in exchange for similar treatment during the next conflict. Avoidance: The avoidance technique should be your last solution, but in some situations it may be best. If you simply cannot solve a personality conflict, deal with the individual when you need to but otherwise steer clear. Conflict between yourself and a superior is acceptable and in some cases even beneficial, if it leads to increased mutual respect. However, conflict with superiors must be handled with care and should not be seen as a challenge to your superior's authority. Conflict with superiors should be kept professional and private.

9 Communications Feature 3 Nonverbal Communication Actions Speak Louder Than Words! Nonverbal forms of communication are always present and often play a deciding role in business success. Whether intentional or not, nonverbal messages influence how the receiver interprets what you are saying. You are constantly sending nonverbal messages to the world around you. These nonverbal messages contribute to creating a lasting impression on co-workers and clients. Negative nonverbal messages can destroy business opportunities and create conflict. The most common nonverbal messages are conveyed through the following: physical appearance body language emphasis on time use of space Physical appearance is often the first impression you make on someone and is, therefore, quite important. Physical appearance doesn't just apply to how you look; it carries through to other aspects of your business communication. For instance, physical appearance can include how a letter looks the color of the stationery, the neatness of the signature, and the organization and format of the letter. All of these factors say something about your professionalism. In the same way, the clothes you wear and the neatness of your hair send messages about you. Body language, or messages sent through the use of your body, can alter or influence the meaning of a verbal message. For example, a person slumping in a chair may give the impression of being tired or depressed. A handshake that is too strong and causes pain may give the impression of a person who is overly aggressive or inconsiderate. Also, an individual who fails to make eye contact might be interpreted as dishonest or not listening. The nonverbal factors of time and space provide indicators of the seriousness, formality, and importance of the communication process. A person who is always on time, for example, gives the impression of being well-organized, dependable, and appreciative of the importance of business commitments. An example of communicating through the use of space would be the case of an individual who stands away from a supervisor and is interpreted as being afraid or unfriendly. You should also be aware that different cultures have different nonverbal messages. For example, in the culture of corporate America, eye contact is typically expected among co-workers and superiors. Making eye contact shows respect and understanding. However, in some Asian cultures direct eye contact would be considered disrespectful and a challenge to authority. In Japan, keeping your eyes lowered is a sign of respect. In the United States, this behavior is often misinterpreted as showing a lack of interest or not listening. It is important that you learn about nonverbal etiquette for a wide variety of cultures, and put your knowledge into practice. South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning Communications Features 5

How might these observations be different in a different culture? 6 Communications Activities South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning
11 Communications Feature 4 Teamwork There is an old saying that goes, Find a job you love and you'll never work another day in your life. It means that doing something you really like doesn't seem like drudgery or work. Instead, it will involve pleasant, joyful challenges most of the time. A very important part of enjoying a job is liking and successfully working with the other people at your workplace. Accomplishing this also implies that those same people like you. Your ability to get along with co-workers who are members of your team depends to a great extent on how well you communicate with them. Those who study reasons why people either leave or lose their jobs have found that there is one main reason. Usually it is not because a worker does not know how to do the job. Instead, the main reason is that many people have a difficult time getting along with and communicating with their co-workers. Reasons why people leave their jobs Inability to get along with others Money Lack of skill Working conditions Health reasons Retiring People may give more than one reason for leaving a job, but, by far, the reason most often given is the inability to get along with others. One of the most important skills you can learn is how to communicate with other employees. This skill will help you to become a good team member in any kind of job. Getting along with co-workers on a team is a very high priority in most organizations. Below are some tips to help you get along: Accept praise gracefully. Thank your manager for praise. Share the credit. Be certain to tell your employer about the efforts of others. Flatter people sincerely. Say nice things to people because you want to. Don't flaunt special privileges. Accept privileges quietly. Let everyone be a winner. No one has to be a loser to make another person a winner. Many teams fail to work well because one person will not tolerate another. The more tolerant you are, the better team member you will become. Tolerance of others habits, mannerisms, styles, and attitudes will serve you well at work.

13 Communications Feature 5 Modes of Communication Getting Through to Others Communication is probably the most vital component of success in the business community. Simply defined, the communication process involves the exchange of information and meaning between individuals. Research shows that managers spend approximately 60% to 80% of their work time involved in communicating with others. The process of sending and receiving messages requires strong, effective communication skills. The communication process can be complicated because of the differences in how individuals receive and process information. In your communication encounters, you must decide on the most effective and appropriate techniques for conveying your message. As a businessperson, you can use many communication strategies. The most common form of business communication is the telephone. Telephone calls play an important role in conveying personal and immediate attention to issues of concern, and they are an opportunity for timely feedback. Similar to the telephone call, electronic mail ( ) has become increasingly popular in the business world because it is quick and inexpensive. The message is typically informal and can be used in the following situations: when a large amount of detail is required in a request when requests are informal when work schedules are not conducive to telephone contact Perhaps the most formal type of business communication is the letter. Seen as formal because they require a signature and are sent on company letterhead, letters are used to communicate official or formal messages. Letters are often used to convey messages of gratitude or information, and they are typically viewed as the least time-sensitive form of communication. Letters and other documents may be sent to others through a facsimile transmission (fax). Faxes are used in a manner similar to letters but are more time sensitive and viewed as slightly less formal. Although faxed messages are becoming more common, you will typically find that they are used only in instances where time pressures are extreme and formality is not important.

What various forms of communication will you use throughout the next few weeks with these individuals? 10 Communications Activities South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning
15 Communications Feature 6 Giving Presentations What Do You Have to Say? Presentations are a common method for communicating information, ideas, and opinions to large groups of people. Although audience size may range from one or two colleagues to several hundred salespeople, there are certain methods and techniques that can help you make a better presentation. First and foremost, know your audience. Know what kinds of information they need to hear and what they need to learn from you. Know what kinds of visual aids will appeal to them and hold their attention, and have an idea about their backgrounds, interests, and experiences. By having an understanding of how your audience will process information, you can more effectively decide on the use of visual aids to improve your presentation. Typically, there are four types of presentations: oral, visual, computer-based, or discussion. Oral presentations generally consist of a speech or talk; a visual presentation adds some form of visual aid to this talk. Computer-based presentations are structured around a computer-generated or technology-aided presentation. Advancements in technology have increased the use of computer-based presentations. These technologies often include video clips, pictures, images, sounds, and cartoons. Discussions are also a form of presentation, where the presenter structures a talk or presentation of data around questions that are intended to prompt group discussion and feedback. Overall, to guarantee a successful presentation, you should do the following: Prepare your materials in advance, including speaker notes and background research. Practice your presentation, especially difficult words or concepts that may require additional time to master. Use hand gestures to emphasize key points. Use visual aids and/or technology to enhance your audience s understanding of your comments. Have fun, and so will your audience. South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning Communications Features 11

Simply type your message into the computer, and with one stroke your message is delivered instantly and irretrievably. messages should be written with the same care as traditional letters, including proofreading and spell checking. However, many senders write their messages carelessly and without the proper etiquette. There are four important guidelines that should be followed when sending Your should cover only one topic. If you have several topics to discuss, send them in separate s. Your message should be brief, using short sentences and paragraphs. Be courteous and professional in your message. Remember, once the is sent, you cannot get it back. Business is not private. The most common mistake is flaming, which is a nasty or offensive message. If you are tempted to send a flame, stop and consider: Is this something I would say to the person s face? If not, don't send it. Do not assume your workplace is private. Your employer owns your system and can access everything it contains, including all messages you send and receive. Remember this when you are tempted to send private s. Also, remember that any you send can easily be forwarded to someone else. Do not send anything you would not want to be made public. Most students will work with in their careers.

19 Communications Feature 8 Responding to Criticism You Think That About Me? Criticism is often viewed in a negative manner, generally because it can be taken personally and can cause hurt feelings. However, used in the right manner, criticism can be a valuable tool for personal and professional development. There are two types of criticism, constructive and destructive. Constructive criticism isolates the criticism to one or two specific behaviors or situations, and it offers techniques for how the behavior or situation can be improved or handled differently. Destructive criticism often includes personal attacks, as well as broad, non-specific statements about behavior. Destructive criticism can often prove to be distressing. To deal effectively with criticism, you should be prepared to view unwelcome comments as an opportunity to grow and improve your performance. Dealing effectively with criticism can also include developing action/professional development plans aimed at improving behaviors, habits, and work performance. Criticism is a form of feedback, and feedback can be a matter of fact or judgment. Matters of fact deal with actual records or observed behaviors which determine what has been said and done. Matters of judgment deal with opinions about what has been said and done. Typically, matters of judgment are likely to be the most destructive form of feedback because they rely on opinions, second-hand information, and the judgment of another person. When responding to criticism, you should avoid the following: shifting the blame to others falsely asking for sympathy denying that problems or opportunities for growth exist turning against others A positive attitude about developing as a professional can make a tremendous difference!

With a classmate, role play the parts of Martha and Miguel. How will Martha tell Miguel the ways in which he needs to improve his performance? How might Martha's tone differ if she likes Miguel? Discuss how matters of judgment and fact can make this a very different conversation. 16 Communications Activities South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning
21 Communications Feature 9 Resumes The Key to Your New Office A resume is essentially a tool that provides information about you to a potential employer. Two of the most popular types of resumes are experience-based and qualifications-based. In an experience-based resume, professional experiences are listed in order of importance or work history. In a qualificationsbased resume, your abilities or qualifications appropriate for the type of job you are applying for are highlighted. Keys to successful resume writing include the use of action words, which demonstrate what you have accomplished or achieved. For example, words such as organized, accomplished, computed, created, managed, and researched are good action-word choices. Other keys include proofreading and following a strict adherence to honesty about your qualifications. Remember that employers check resume information. Providing false information can cause you to lose a winning job! False information, found after you have been hired, can lead to your dismissal and long-term career difficulties. A typical resume includes the following sections in this order: Career Objective Career Preparation (also called Education) Career Progression (also called Experience) Career-Related Honors and Activities Community Service or Involvement Personal Information (least important; be selective) Often you will find that it is helpful to include a list of your skills or talents that relate to the job you are applying for. In a Career Objective section, you can tailor your statement to precisely fit the job you are applying for. This section demonstrates to employers your motivation and sense of direction and purpose, as well as your fit with the employer's position. Finally, be careful what personal information you include. According to the Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), it is illegal for employers to make hiring decisions based on personal information such as age, marital status, race, gender, and so on. Therefore, potential employers prefer not to see this type of information. List only personal information that is appropriate for the job you are applying for, such as hobbies, memberships, or personal interests.

"Flexible Sigmoidoscopy Procedure"
About: Dr Gray's Hospital / General Surgery Dr Gray's Hospital General Surgery IV30 1SN
Posted by Ancient One (as ),
I attended the Day Case Unit at Dr Grays Hospital Elgin in January 2016.
I was there to have a Flexible Sigmoidoscopy Procedure carried out. From the moment I reported to the receptionist, I was made to feel welcome.
The nurses who looked after me were wonderful, relaxing me and making sure I was alright. The theatre staff who carried out my procedure were also very pleasant, explaining what was going to happen and ensuring I was comfortable. In all, it was a pleasant experience, and I felt that all the staff in this unit were a credit to the hospital and NHS Scotland.
Thank you to them all.
Response from Linda Oldroyd, Nurse Consultant, Person Centred Care, NHS Grampian about a year and a half ago
Dear patient
Many thanks for taking the time to post your feedback. It is great for staff to get such praise and especially on Patient Opinion for all to see.
We will make sure that everyone concerned is made aware of your kind words. They have clearly done a great job of turning what could have been an unpleasant experience into one which left you with such a sense of well-being.
Many thanks again.

We really loved this apartment and Port Douglas for our fourth stop on our Australian trip. We stayed here four nights and were wishing we had booked longer! Carolyn and John booked all of our tours and airport shuttle for us prior to our arrival so all we had to do was enjoy! The apartment was huge - lots of room and two bedrooms with 2 1/2 baths. We loved the shower! We also enjoyed cooking a few of our meals in the well-equipped kitchen. The apartments are located right in the heart of Port Douglas so everything is easy access including the Coles grocery store across the street and the beach is just a short walk. These were a great value. Carolyn and John were so helpful. You can contact them directly for rates at email@example.com. If we return to this area, we will definitely stay here again.

As we've noted in the Classical Music section, there are at least two compelling options for New Yorkers who'd like to commemorate, in concert form, the anniversary of 9/11. Another has come over the transom, and (like the St. Patrick's Cathedral choral program) it's part of "The September Concert," a city-wide music festival held in memory of the tragedy. The Little Opera Theatre of NY, an emerging group that has staged productions of works by Mozart, Handel, and Virgil Thomson in such alternative venues as the Dahesh Museum and the Box, will present Act I of "La Boheme" (in English), along with sacred and secular songs by Puccini, at the Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens (pictured, via Flickr) a fun, emerging open-air venue that's part of the new wave of art offerings in Long Island City. (The forecast? Sunny, in the low 70s.)

MLD2011 Sir Montagu Allan Final (1) Eden Hall Warriors vs. (2) Philadelphia Quakers
View Single Post
Registered User
Join Date: Aug 2006
Location: Brooklyn
Posts: 45,930
vCash: 500
2nd Line comparison
I'll make this quick.
Offensive upside = Even
Tanti > Dahlen, Backstrom > Ribeiro, Sands <<<< Stastny
The offensive gap between Charlie Sands and Marian Stastny is enormous, and makes up for the smaller gaps at the other two positions.
Actual offensive production = Advantage Eden Hall
Not every goal can be scored off the rush.
The ability to win battles for the puck is important to scoring goals, especially in the playoffs.
Ulf Dahlen is one of the best puck winners at the MLD level, while Philadelphia doesn't have anyone on the second line who is known to be strong in the corners.
Billy's strategy for his second line seems to rest of some bizarre idea that Nicklas Backstrom of the Washington Capitals is proof that you can win in the playoffs without winning battles for the puck.
Defense = Advantage Philadelphia
I'd rank the players defensively like this:
Very good = Charlie Sands
Pretty good = Nicklas Backstrom,
Ulf Dahlen
Nonfactors =
Mike Ribeiro, Marian Stastny
Poor = Tony Tanti
I think the Sands/Backstrom combo is good enough to make up for Tanti. It's not like Ribeiro and Stastny are great defensive players, themselves.
Overall = Close
Does the greater actual offensive production of Eden Hall outweigh the defensive advantage of Philadelphia's second line? Who knows.

North Kingston MP Sarah Olney has called on the Government to scrap plans to build free schools and instead pump money into the borough's cash-strapped education system.
The Liberal Democrat politician called for changes in school funding, with many schools across London complaining of losing thousands in cash under current proposals.
She made the comments at a meeting at New Malden's Burlington Junior School on Monday evening, which was organised by parents and teachers to protest Government cuts to education funding.
- Cash-strapped London schools to be thrown into 'financial crisis' by new funding formula
- 'Schools will implode': New Malden headteacher warns of job losses as Kingston schools prepare to rally against Government 'stealth cuts'
- Government submits plans to build 420-place primary school in Kingston town centre amid school places crisis
Mrs Olney said funding would be better spent on existing schools in Kingston and Richmond than plans to build more grammar and free schools.
She said: "There is funding available, it's just that the government has made the choice to spend it on selective education.
"This is my message to Theresa May and I will be stressing this as much as I can.
"We don't need to spend that money on grammar schools - we need to spend it on our existing schools."
Richard Challoner headteacher Sean Maher has led the charge against Government cuts
The comments come amid a school places crisis in the borough, with statistics released in March last year showing Kingston to be the most oversubscribed in London.
In January, the Government submitted plans to build a 420-place primary school in the heart of Kingston in response to the borough's desperate need to build schools.
After the meeting Mrs Olney clarified her comments saying that she accepted that there was an "urgent need" to build schools in Kingston and Richmond.
She said: "[There's] not no need for more schools. What I was saying was why the free schools in particular?
"We do have an urgent need in both Richmond and Kingston."
Richard Challoner headteacher Sean Maher, joined the north Kingston MP in her criticism of the Government's education cuts.
He led a delegation of the borough's headteachers in writing a letter to Downing Street in protest at "stealth cuts" earlier this year.
On Monday, he told a packed audience that his school faces the loss of about £400,000 in funding within the next five years – the equivalent of about eight teacher salaries.
This year, Mr Maher came close to not replacing a departing drama teacher from the school given the scale of the crisis.
He said: "We've got to stop plans for grammar schools and free school because this is just an absolute illusion.
"This debate is about my children and your children and ensuring that we all do all that we can to provide them with the very best opportunities.
"If you want a world class education system then you have to pay for a world class education system."
Kingston MP and Conservative politician James Berry sat in the front row as headteachers and parents lambasted the Government's education cuts.
He called on the audience to come up with solutions to the crisis and acknowledged the "desperate need" for more funding.
Mr Berry said: "In Kingston we are fortunate to have the best schools in the country and I'm determined to make sure we stay that way, as well as making sure we have the new school places needed to meet demand."
Philipa Harvey, of the National Union of Teachers, said: "I think the funding cuts that we are facing requires a response of this magnitude.
"They thought that we would be prepared to sit back and accept these funds."
- This story has been ammended. Mrs Olney called for changes in school funding not the national funding formula. She called for the Government to scrap plans to build free and grammar schools in Kingston, not all schools.

It isn't a surprise that when military families go through tough, economic times they would want to find ways to get necessities for less. After all, military families typically have a lower income. Furniture is one of those necessities that rarely comes cheap when it's new. When furniture is pre-owned, it is usually damaged. However, there are ways for military families to get furniture for less.
Go to your local family support center and ask for the loan attic. In the Air Force, its called the Airman's Attic. Young families can go to the Attic and get furniture to borrow until they get their own or, in many cases, for free. Sometimes they even have canned goods and/or toys for children. Just remember to give it back when you're done with it and, as you progress in your career, donate some of your own.
Drive around base neighborhoods on Friday and look for Yard Sale signs. Military families have yard sales almost every day-even in the winter. The reason is that some families bring more goods from their large, overseas homes to their stateside, much smaller houses. They might have too much furniture than they are allowed to bring overseas. Either way, when a family gets orders to go to another base (known as a PCS), they usually have to get rid of extra furniture and goods fast. This is an excellent time to get a deal.
Find out when the bulk trash pick-up days are and drive around the night before. This is especially effective right after yard sales because military families often have to throw away what they couldn't sell. This could be your chance to get some furniture for free. Families will even help you load the furniture into your truck. They're just happy to get rid of it.
Look for the local consignment shop on base. This is another place to get good furniture. Although yard sales and free furniture can be a bargain, sometimes you want to get things that are a little higher quality. Consignment shops are good because they won't sell something that they can't make money off of, which is typically around 25%. The prices are still pretty low, so its still a good deal!

Nearly four years after his wife was found bludgeoned to death in their Cherry Hill home, Rabbi Fred J. Neulander was charged today with planning her murder.
Rabbi Neulander, 57, once the head of the largest synagogue in this southern New Jersey community, was long suspected in the slaying. He had resigned his position three months after his wife's death, after reports surfaced that he had had two extramarital affairs with members of his congregation.
''We allege that he conspired to have her killed and played the part of accomplice in that murder,'' said the Camden County Prosecutor, Lee A. Solomon.
Mr. Solomon described the evidence against Rabbi Neulander as ''both compelling and overwhelming.'' The authorities have not identified who they believe is the killer.
At Rabbi Neulander's arraignment this afternoon in Camden, where he was ordered held in $400,000 bail, Mr. Solomon said the rabbi had engaged in ''multiple, long-term extramarital affairs,'' including one with a woman who demanded he leave his wife and end his marriage.Continue reading the main story
Rabbi Neulander did not speak during the court proceeding. His lawyer, Jeffrey Zucker, entered a not-guilty plea on his behalf.
Rabbi Neulander, the founder and former senior rabbi at Congregation M'Kor Shalom, was taken into custody in his car about three blocks from his home around 9:15 A.M. and charged with being an accomplice to murder and with conspiracy to commit murder in the slaying of his wife, Carol, Mr. Solomon said.
Carol Neulander, 52, was found in their home on Nov. 1, 1994. Her purse was missing, but no other valuables had been touched.
Mr. Solomon would not comment on whether the authorities believe that the rabbi paid a hit man to kill his wife. He also would not comment on a possible motive or whether additional arrests were expected.
Mr. Solomon said the case would be presented to a grand jury by the end of the year.
The rabbi resigned his post in February 1995, admitting unspecified indiscretions and asking forgiveness from his congregation. He was later suspended by a rabbinical panel.
At a news conference today at Congregation M'Kor Shalom, a synagogue spokeswoman read a brief statement expressing hope that justice would finally be served and noting that Rabbi Neulander was entitled to the presumption of innocence.
''The death of Carol Neulander has been a great loss for our congregation and especially for our family,'' said the spokeswoman, Sharla Feldsher. ''The passage of time without any closure has prevented the wounds from healing.''
Another congregant, Diane Steinberg of Medford, said she felt a sense of betrayal.
''It just kind of shakes my belief in who you can trust,'' she said. ''How can you have faith in any person that you know when a person you adored -- felt was a kind, good person -- can be involved in something like this?''Continue reading the main story

I gave the pattern the name Vernus because of it's springlike color, Vernus means Spring in latin.
The socks are worked toe-up with a short row toe and short row heel. The lace and cable chart is worked over 8 rows, hence it is very easy to adjust the length of the sock to fit your own feet just perfectly - both foot and leg!
You will easily memorize the lace and the socks are worked in a jiffy!
I hope you will enjoy knitting my Vernus socks!
Many thanks to my amazing test knitters!

Amsterdam: Greece lashed out today at what it called "lies" by its EU partners following calls for Athens to be suspended from the Schengen passport-free zone if it fails to staunch the flow of migrants into Europe.
At a tense meeting of European Union interior ministers in Amsterdam, Austria and Germany urged Athens to do more to deal with the continent's biggest crisis of its kind since World War II.
But Greece's interior minister for migration Yiannis Mouzalas insisted his country — already buffeted by a debt crisis that almost drove it out of the euro last year — was doing its best in difficult circumstances.
"We are tired to listen that we cannot secure our borders," Mouzalas told reporters in Amsterdam. "We are told that we don't want coastguards, it's a lie — we want more coastguards."
The short sea crossing from Turkey to the Greek islands accounted for most of the one million migrants and refugees who arrived in Europe last year, but Mouzalas said it would be illegal to push back migrants from Greek waters.
"According to international law, to the law of the sea, according to the Geneva Convention, according to the European, to the Greek law, the only way to act on the sea border is to make rescue," he said.
The rest of the EU is however turning up the pressure on Athens, with growing frustration about its refusal to let EU border guards on its turf, which Greece views as a challenge to its sovereignty.
Last week Austrian Interior Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner warned Athens could face "temporary exclusion" from Schengen, the 26-country zone of mainly EU countries that embodies the European dream of free movement.
Austria, Germany and several other Schengen member states have already reintroduced temporary checks at their internal borders, raising fears the passport-free system could collapse.
"Greece has to reinforce its (border) resources and accept help," Mikl-Leitner told reporters in Amsterdam today, adding that it was a "myth" that the Turkish sea border could not be secured.
German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere — whose country's decision last year to open its doors to one million asylum seekers sparked anger in transit countries — urged Greece to "do its duty."
"We want to save Schengen, we want common European solutions, but the clock is ticking," said de Maiziere, adding that the key to solving the crisis was a deal with Turkey to staunch the flow of migrants.

"We must thank you and your wonderful staff for your work on our reception on our wedding day. Shannon and I were absolutely blown away by the fantastic food and professional staff you had assembled for our wedding. Alex, your hard work and experience was priceless, helping us organize our event from the limo to our wedding to the pictures taken, and the beautiful cake and DJ. Your facility was decorated perfect. Lights, layout and sound system were the best we have been to. Our suite upstairs was the perfect get away for some private moments and Shannon still talks about how great her personal butler was and also, our wait staff that took care of our head table was absolutely top notch. Even at the end we missed our ride from your venue and our personal waiter took us in his own car over to the hotel to make sure our evening went perfect. We went around and spoke to our guests and they all told us that it was the best reception they have ever been to. We wish you years of sucess and if we ever plan to have another special occasion we will always think of the Atrium." - Shannon and David

Winter White Seafood Pasta
READY IN: 1hr 15mins
Recipe by SarasotaCook
A completely unique rich, and savory use of fresh scallops, asparagus, in a creamy champagne sauce. It sounds more difficult than it is. It is rich, but subtle in it's flavor. Don't expect spice or deep flavors, but it is great. Just follow the directions as is. Steamed asparagus doesn't work, canned artichokes don't work. It needs to be prepared right for the great flavor.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3⁄4 lb thin spaghetti (angle hair is a bit thin but ok, but thin spaghetti works great)
- 1 1⁄2 lbs scallops (24-30 large sea scallops)
- salt
- pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 lb white asparagus (you can use green if that is all you can find, but white is perfect for this)
- olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- 13 ounces artichoke hearts (Birds Eye, 1 1/2 boxes of frozen artichokes)
- 1 medium onion, fine diced
- 6 ounces champagne (1 split of champagne, available at any liquor store)
- 1 1⁄2 cups heavy cream
- 3⁄4 cup chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, fine chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, fine chopped
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 scallions, fine chopped
Directions See How It's Made
- Asparagus -- To roast the asparagus, cut the asparagus on an angle in 1" pieces. Heat oven to 400 degrees and line a cookie sheet with foil. Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil, salt and pepper and cook 15 minutes until slightly soft and tender. Once the asparagus is done, remove and wrap up right in the foil it was cooked in and set to the side. This will keep it warm and there are not pots or pans to clean.
- Artichoke Sauce -- As the asparagus cooks, start the sauce. In a medium size pot, heat the butter on medium heat and saute the onion and cook 2-3 minutes until translucent or slightly tender.
- Chop the artichokes and add to the pan and cook another minute or two.
- Then add the champagne, the chicken broth, cream, salt and pepper, parsley, and thyme and cook on medium low. The cream and champagne will reduce and slightly thicken as it cooks. Just let it cook 5-7 minutes as you make the pasta and scallops. The sauce is finished.
- Pasta -- Cook the pasta according to the directions on the box. Thin spaghetti or angel hair doesn't take long and just enough time to make the scallops.
- Scallops -- First, bring the scallops to almost room temp (just not ice cold), sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then in a medium size saute pan, bring to medium high heat and add the butter and oil. Add the scallops and sear until the scallops are golden brown on one side and then flip and finish when the other side in also golden brown. Do not over cook. They will only take a minute or two on each side. Remove from the heat as soon as they are done.
- Combine -- Drain the pasta well and toss with the artichoke sauce, asparagus and scallops. Taste for any additional seasoning and garnish with fresh Parmesan cheese.

International Security
Students of International Security studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! International Security textbooks – for example Massacres and Morality: Mass Atrocities in an Age of Civilian Immunity by [Alex J. Bellamy], and America's War on Terror: The State of the 9/11 Exception from Bush to Obama by [Jason Ralph] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of International Security is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of International Security books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking International Security classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.
