Jiang is among a group of four Chinese rights lawyers who allege they were tortured by police after being rounded up in late March outside a detention center in a farming community on the northeastern edge of China.
One of them, Jiang Tianyong, said Chen Guangfu described the security situation in his hometown as having become tighter since Chen Guangcheng escaped the village a month ago.

I would not consider myself the most stylish mama. I mean, I think I do OK at putting together outfits, but you are not going to find me on the front of GLAM magazine any time soon! Once you have kids style often takes a back seat to play dates and chauffeuring your kids around. All things that Jessica Mulroney, mom to 2-year old twins with husband and entertainment TV host Ben Mulroney, understands well.
Jessica was named one of Canada's Best Dressed by HELLO! Magazine and is known for her work as a fashion & style curator and luxury label expert. As she navigates everything from park play dates to society functions she does so with classic elegance and relatable charm.
Jessica shares a few of her fashion and beauty tips on how to "save your style sanity" as a busy mom whether you're just running to the grocery store or indulging in a kids-free night out:
1. Beauty: Play up your favourite feature, i.e. find your perfect lipstick, swipe on a long-lasting mascara; Concealer and blush are a mom's best friend; Highlighter draws attention to the places you want people to look
For me I try to play up my lips (I am not very good at eye make up, so I work with what I have!). I love the look of glossy lips.
2. The secret to looking stylish is happiness. It's cliché, but true: You're never fully dressed without a smile! I always keep chocolate in my purse because nothing makes me happier than indulging in a sweet treat. My new favourite is the new Skinny Cow Dreamy Cluster Milk Chocolate – just 120 calories and the right size to satisfy my chocolate craving!
Smiles make a huge difference in the way you look, and our outlook on the day. And as a self professed chocoholic I can attest that the Skinny Cow Dreamy Cluster Milk Chocolate puts a smile on my face every time!
3. Fashion: Invest in the classics; De-stress the act of choosing what to wear by coordinating your wardrobe so that you can mix and match with ease
I tend to buy a dark pants and skirts that will go with any top – perfect for getting dressed quickly before work.
What are your busy mom tips for keeping your style together once you have kids?

I've had the below email fall into my inbox. If you're in the Henley area, how about watching Jaws, Cocktail and The Goonies whilst drinking beer in the open air?
I can't make it, so I thought I'd spread the movie love. Two of the greatest films ever made (and Cocktail) for a quid each. I've just checked and I there are still tickets as I write this.
(Though, technically, The Goonies is best watched on a rainy Sunday afternoon)
This is good content, right?
My Kids Don't Like Star Wars
They taunt me with their photos on Facebook. Friends' children wearing Darth Vader masks, Leia costumes and joyfully sat in front of the TV watching a lightsabre duel. I am reminded daily of a single inalienable truth.
My kids don't like Star Wars.
Those who know me are aware that the sole reason I had kids was to have someone to watch those films with and how much this makes me sad.
(I'm joking, of course. "Too much wine at a family barbecue" is the actual reason I had kids)
Maybe it's my fault. Perhaps I tried to introduce them to it to early and the damage was done then. Maybe it's George Lucas's fault (The first 20 minutes of A New Hope do drag a bit, George. Why would you even build a protocol droid that annoys the shit out of everyone he talks to?)
I've tried everything to interest them. Even explaining to them how, rather than being cute and fluffy and lame, Ewoks are hardcore war criminals.
Come on. They eat their prisoners. Five minutes after capturing them, they're trying to cook Han, Luke and Chewbacca. The dress Leia wears in the Ewok village probably came from the last person they had round for dinner.
Still, there's something sad about a 40 year old man owning more Star Wars merchandise than his children.
But, actually, it comes down to the one mantra my kids repeat:
"Dad likes it. It must be rubbish."
Before kids come along, you always think you're going to be the Cool Dad, that they'll regard you as some hybrid of Steve McQueen, Joey Ramone and Evel Knievel. But you can't be. Because you're their dad. By the virtue of their existence, you've become an older generation and become slightly less relevant.
In fact, they have no idea who Steve McQueen, Joey Ramone and Evel Knievel are. (Though Kid C is a bit partial to "Blitzkrieg Bop" on the ao.com advert)
It's the same with music. They're always telling me to turn that racket down, which I'm pretty sure is not how that particular social transaction should work.
And the stuff they listen to these days. I don't know what that's all about. It's got a melody. You can actually hear the lyrics. It was just a noise in my day and it was brilliant.
I think my favourite episode of The Simpsons is Homerpalooza, when Homer realises that he's become totally out of touch with pop culture. Of course, the irony is that my kids regard all the "cool bands" that I like in that episode as hilariously old-fashioned. Me listening to Sonic Youth is the 2017 version of 1996's Homer listening to Grand Funk Railroad.
But when you do manage to show them something you love and they love it too and they think maybe – just maybe – dad knows what he's talking about… Those shared moments are everything.
And it's something I remember when they look at me with pity when I put the Stone Roses on and air-guitar my way around the kitchen.
Here We Go Again
Hello! I'm back!
If you've been here before, you might have noticed that I've tidied the place up a bit. That's because I've decided to start blogging again. I'm not ready for the Youtubes or anything like that.
I've grown up a bit since I last blogged regularly, so – now – as a mature husband and father of three children I thought I'd use this as a platform to write about music, films, TV, books rather than just a list of dick jokes*. The stuff that stops me from just collapsing into a foetal position and weeping with exhaustion.
I also thought that I'd write about things that I've come across that make my life easier/make me more confused so – y'know – if you work in PR and want to send me free shit to write about, I'm open to suggestions.
There'll still be books, though. There'll be a new one soon. Honestly.
So, yeah. It's a blog about being a grump middle-aged man written by a grumpy middle-aged man. The internet really needs another one of those.
You can subscribe using the button on the right hand side or like my Facebook page. Or even help yourself to a free book. No pressure.
*There'll still be dick jokes.
Giveaway Time!
It's a well documented fact that I'm not very bright.
You may know that I recently ran a Kickstarter campaign for my new story Old Haunts.
Well, it seems that I can't count and I've ended up with spare copies.
So, rather than have them sit on my bookshelf unread, I thought I'd give them away to people possessed of dubious luck.
There's a limited edition hardback copy of the How To Be Dead stories (How To Be Dead, Paper Cuts and Old Haunts):
3 limited edition paperback copies of Old Haunts, the third story in the How To Be Dead series:
And a proof copy of the paperback version of the How To Be Dead series (all 3 stories), which I don't think *anyone* has at the moment because it only went on sale yesterday:
Not sure whether you want to read them? You can have a look at the reviews here.
What are they about? Well, Dave Marwood is trapped in a soul crushing dead end job. He's in love with his work colleague Melanie and his only friend Gary is a conspiracy theory nut. His life is going nowhere until he has a Near Death Experience – though Death thinks of it as a Near Dave Experience. He discovers gifts he never knew he possessed and a world he never dreamed existed. A world where the Grim Reaper is a hard drinking, grumpy Billy Joel fan and the undead are bored, lonely and dangerous. A world where Death and his office staff must protect humanity from ghosts, zombies, vampires and medium-sized apocalypses.
After a nice cup of tea and a biscuit.
To get in on the action, just do the biz on the form below! Good luck!
The Story of How To Be Dead
So, once upon a time, I had an idea for a series of 3 novellas telling the story of Death and the problems he had trying to sort out the undead.
"I'll bash them out over the course of a year," I thought. "It'll be a nice little project to keep me out of trouble."
Four years later, I've just published the last part of that story.
It all started easy enough writing the first novella. It was called How To Be Dead (after a Snow Patrol song). If you haven't read it, you can have it for free by clicking here.
People really liked it. That made me very happy. "I should probably write the second one," I thought.
Then I was diagnosed with a seriously massive heart condition. You know when a footballer drops dead on the football pitch? That's the bad boy I've got. There were hospital visits. Medication. Implants. Wires stuck into my heart.
But I'm now technically a cyborg. Which is actually the childhood dream come true.
I'll be honest, there were grim days contemplating my own mortality. What would my wife and kids do if I wasn't around tomorrow? Who'd remove the Billy Joel albums off my iPhone before people discovered them?
Then I thought, "Hang on. I'm writing comedy books about death. I can probably use this."
This may go some way to explaining the number of Billy Joel jokes in the books.
When you stare in to the Abyss, sometimes the Abyss stares back. So you wave to the Abyss. Then you realise the Abyss was actually staring at something over your shoulder and it all gets a little bit awkward.
And then you just bloody well get on with it.
Then an agent got in touch to say that he loved the first novella and did I want to turn it into a novel and be represented by him?
"Yes! Of course!" I thought.
So I left my screenwriting agent and signed with the new agency with ideas that i would be An Important Novelist. And I wrote a novel. Which I wasn't completely happy with.
Then the agent decided he didn't want to be agent anymore.
So I was left agent-less and holding a novel I didn't know what to do with. So I decided that since I'd had an idea for 3 novellas, I'd better start the second one.
That was called Paper Cuts (after songs by Nirvana and The Boy Least Likely To). Because I like you so much, you can have that for free as well by clicking here.
People seemed to like that a bit more than the first one.
"I'd better write a third one," I thought. So I did.
It's called Old Haunts (after a song by The Gaslight Anthem). You can get that here if you're in the UK. Or, if you're in the US, here.
People seem to be liking it a bit more than the second one. Which is a trajectory that any writer would want.
Now I've dragged a story that's been banging around my head for half a decade kicking and screaming into the world, I'm not sure how to feel. Perhaps because I don't want to leave these characters behind and I've got more stories about them to tell. Perhaps because I have an office full of books I need to post out to the awesome Kickstarter backers. I don't know.
But this chapter of my life has reached an end. There's some people I should thank:
Everyone who supported me on Kickstarter from the beginning – I wouldn't have done this without you. You rock.
If you've downloaded the stories, or tweeted, or Facebooked or blogged about them – You, too, are awesome.
If you've got in touch with me to tell me that you've enjoyed the stories, thank you. You don't know how much that means to me and how much it helps when it's the middle of the night and I have a two hour commute to work in the morning and I just can't think of that last joke for the scene.
And my wife (who probably won't read this), who has looked on me doing this with a mixture of bewilderment and patience. She knew I had to do this, even if she'll never really understand why. I love her very much. She puts up with a lot.
And my kids (who I won't let read this). If it wasn't for the Three Infinite Monkeys, these books would've probably been written a lot quicker but the gaps in between wouldn't have been even a tenth as much fun.
I'm a writer now. I always have been. I don't get embarrassed muttering "Yeah, I do" when a friend tells someone "Dave writes books, y'know?"
Sure, it doesn't pay the mortgage. I hope one day it will. Right now, it's a bit of pin money at the end of the month. But some force has always driven me to take this stuff in my head and stick down on the page ever since I could hold a pen.
That's what makes a writer. Writing. Just bloody well getting on with it.
So, I'll be getting on with the next story. It's a feel-good comedy about alien invasions. I promise I'll be quicker with this one.
This was just meant to be a quick post to say "Hey! The new book's out!" but things quickly spiralled out of control. Sorry about that.
I'll have a glass or two of wine tonight to toast Death, Dave, Anne, Melanie and Gary. I hope you do too.
C'mon. It's Friday.
Old Haunts – How To Be Dead 3
I know. I never write. I never call. But I've got some news.
Well, I launched a Kickstarter campaign for Old Haunts, the third novella in the How To Be Dead series, this morning.
For those of you who don't know, Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects. Every project creator sets their project's funding goal and deadline. If people like the project, they can pledge money to make it happen. If the project succeeds in reaching its funding goal, all backers' debit/credit cards are charged when time expires. If the project falls short, no one is charged. Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing.
We actually hit the target by lunchtime! I cannot thank everyone who's backed the book enough. Once again, you've shown what remarkable people you are. You've made this old geek very, very happy again and I shall raise a very large glass of wine to each and every one of you tonight.
But we don't want to stop there! I have other stories that I want to tell and I'll continue to publish these through Aim For The Head Books. Once Old Haunts is released, I think I'll have a vague idea of what I'm doing. So I'm hoping to do more than publish my own poor quality jokes in the future and use Aim For The Head to help other authors get their work out into the world using a profit sharing model.
It's all still at the 'sketch on a back of a napkin' stage, but if – with your help – we can make the How To Be Dead series a success and get Aim For The Head Books off the ground, this could help other writers get a better deal and see new, exciting work available.
The bottom line is the more funds that we can raise, the more I can put into launching Aim For The Head Books.
Are you in? If you are, you could help 'Old Haunts' with just three clicks.
1. Click on the button below to visit the Kickstarter page and pledge your support. The limited edition paperbacks are very popular at the moment.
2. Click on the button below to share with your awesome Facebook friends.
3. Click on the button below to let your bazillion Twitter followers know about 'How To Be Dead'.
There. That was nice and easy, wasn't it? You've done a good thing. Three good things. Go on. Have a biscuit. Have three biscuits. You deserve them. You're awesome.
Violence and Misery – Dave's Favourite Christmas Songs
T'was the night before Christmas & all through the house not a creature was stirring APART FROM A BEING OF UNSPEAKABLE HORROR IN THE ATTIC.
So have some Christmas songs that aren't Wizzard or Slade or Cliff Sodding Richard.
Father Christmas – The Kinks
Ray Davies is a lyrical genius, able to create the most romantic imagery from London's grubby streets. But here the Kinks go punk with a tune about some little gits pumped up on sugar and excitement mugging Father Christmas.
Chiron Beta Prime – Jonathan Coulton
Just because you've been banished by the Robot Overlords to a mining colony on an asteroid doesn't mean you can't get a bit festive.
Feliz Navidad – El Vez
Traditional Christmas song put to the tune of 'Public Image' by PiL. It's obvious when you think about it. A stone cold classic from the Mexican Elvis.
Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town – Bruce Springsteen
Partly because Bruce Springsteen is the Greatest Living American Poet and Songwriter, but mostly because it really annoys my wife.
It's not truly Christmas until my wife sighs and says "Not this song again?"
A Long December – Counting Crows
Not strictly a Christmas song, but they're just so damn good. A band that truly refuses to be happy. You have to admire their commitment to documenting the existential emptiness in our meaningless lives.
Plus added Courtney Cox in the video.
Anyway, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! See you in 2016!
Me Read Books Good
I was meant to write another part of Books What Are Good but real life is in the way at the moment.
Some very nice people left some reading suggestions. I'm reading one of these at the moment, 'The Girl With All The Gifts' by M.R. Carey as recommended by Carl and enjoying it tremendously.
So I say that people recommending stuff on this site is a brilliant idea with a 100% success record. And I need to start compiling my reading list for 2016.
What books do you think should be read by more people? State your case in the comments below and I'll round them up at the end of the week!
Books What Are Good
A while ago, I wrote a post about 9 Low Budget Science Fiction Films More People Should See so I thought I'd write some posts about the sci-fi/fantasy horror books I've enjoyed this year. If you've not read any of these, I suggest you check them out.
Bird Box by Josh Malerman
There's something outside. You don't know what it is, but if you see it madness and death will follow.
Bird Box taps directly into the primal fear of the dark, made all the worse because that darkness is self-inflicted. To survive, one must be blindfolded.
I'm not really affected by scary stories because I'm a double hard bastard, but one sequence left me shaking and terrified while sat reading on a packed tube train. This'll stick with you long after you've finished it.
Resistance is Futile by Jenny T Colgan
I like Jenny Colgan. She gives good Twitter.
I came across this when researching what turned out to be a similar story idea.
I thought I'd read it for research purposes and found out it contains jokes, snogging and hard sums. Which are three of my favourite things. Result. Funny and touching, if there was more cake it'd be perfect.
The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North
Harry August keeps dying. Harry August keeps being born. He always returns to his childhood with the memory of the lives he has yet to live.
I adore time loop stories (see my love of Primer and Timecrimes on the sci-fi film link). I love to see how the writer will keep the narrative fresh as we re-visit events that have already happened.
This has a grander scope, an entire life re-lived rather than hours or days, and a grander narrative ambition.
Look, as soon as I finished this, I immediately ordered Claire North's next book, Touch, because I wanted to keep on reading her delicious prose. I don't think I can give any higher praise than that, can I?
That was short and sweet, wasn't it? I'll continue this next week with some more recommendations. I hope I given you at least one new thing to try. What books have you enjoyed this year? Please let me know in the comments.
A Guide To Primer
In yesterday's blog post "9 Low Budget Science Fiction Films More People Should See" , I mentioned that a diagram existed to help explain the plot of Primer.
While part of the fun of the film is the experience of thinking "If he's there, then who's done that…? Hang on… Where did they come from…? Is that…? OH JESUS. A PIECE OF MY BRAIN HAS FALLEN OUT OF MY NOSE.", it's also nice to know what the hell is going on.
So here's a link to the graph that shows all the timelines.
It goes without saying that the link contains MASSIVE SPOILERS.
If you need to brush up with the time travel theory contained within the film's universe, you can have a look at this handy flow chart.
Hope that helps!
Before I go, just a quick word to say I've set up a mailing list thing in the top right hand corner if you want to sign up for more stuff like this.

Daily Departure
Around 6:00 am

One of its ceilings is decorated with a plaster cast of the signs of the zodiac. Not only that but this temple has the only relief which represented Queen Cleopatra and her son Caesarian. Continue on to Abydos which was the head of the God Osiris- the God of the Underworld and part of his body was buried there according to the legend of ancient Egyptians,. In Abydos you will visit the famous Temple of King Seti I – the founder of Abydos Temple which was completed by his son King Ramses II. The beauty of this Temple almost feels like an apology and dedication to the following Gods Osiris, Isis, Horus, Amun Ra, Mut and Khonsu. After this, return to Luxor by your transport.

A new bit of Clinton-media rot is making the rounds on social media, this one from the formerly estimable Time. Robin Lakoff, professor of linguistics at the University of California, writes:
The only reason the whole email flap has legs is because the candidate is female. Can you imagine this happening to a man? Clinton is guilty of SWF (Speaking While Female), and emailgate is just a reminder to us all that she has no business doing what she's doing and must be punished, for the sake of all decent women everywhere. There is so much of that going around.
I am mad. I am mad because I am scared. And if you are a woman, you should be, too. Emailgate is a bitch hunt, but the target is not Hillary Clinton. It's us.
Read the whole thing if you want, but I wouldn't bother. Professor Lakoff goes on to say… well, exactly what you'd expect her to say.
First of all, Mrs Clinton isn't guilty of 'speaking while female'. She's guilty of mishandling classified information, violating the 2009 Federal Records Act, and violating the treasured Freedom of Information Act. Those aren't obscure regulations lost in dusty tomes that have been dragged out by pinstriped patriarchs to prevent a female presidency. They're well-known statues that have all been invoked in several high-profile cases since the late '90s. Most of them, in fact, were invoked against powerful men long before they were thrown at Mrs Clinton, most notably General David Petraeus.
This is the sort of thing that makes feminism appear redundant at best, and malicious at worst. Whenever a woman (and generally a left-wing woman) is criticised or scrutinised in any way, we can count on the Sisterhood forming a phalanx to shield her from scrutiny. It was true when Jules was PM and it's true now. Without fail, whenever a man says something unflattering about a female public figure, his character is assassinated. He's branded a 'misogynist' and a 'sexist' and thrown to the wolves of public opinion. He risks losing his career and becoming a social pariah. And the woman he accused, who's clearly guilty of mismanagement (as in Gillard's case) or even criminal activity (as in Clinton's) is allowed to walk away scot-free.
So Professor Lakoff is, in fact, exactly wrong. Put it this way: Can you really imagine the media and political classes defending someone in Clinton's position so viciously if they were a man? If it was Bill who was found guilty of mishandling classified information, do you think his female critics would be accused of misandry?
Let me mansplain this to you, ladies: every time you blame your screw-ups on 'the patriarchy' (or 'internalized sexism', if the critic happens female), a misogynist gets his wings. When you say that legal and political realities should be ignored because of the defendant's gender, you make the real sexists' case for them. You suggest, whether you mean to or not, that women can't handle the responsibilities and scrutiny required for a career in public service. You suggest they have to be sheltered from the big, bad world of laws and duties – that they're not intellectually or morally competent enough to perform the jobs traditionally held by men. That's Sexism 101. Whether it's (trigger warning: phallic symbolism) erected to protect women or suppress them, a glass ceiling is still a glass ceiling.
So go on and take a swing at Clinton. She deserves it. And, frankly, you deserve better than her. The first female POTUS should stand on a lifetime of public service and hard-earned success, not corruption and double standards. She should be a role model for our daughters and granddaughters, not Frank Underwood in a pants suit.
You get one shot at this, ladies. Make sure she's worthy of you.

There is a large plaque hanging in my house that reads, "He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" On the back of that plaque are about 40 signatures. It was a gift from Rev. Walt Brown, Minister of Music at FBC Katy, TX where my wife and I served years ago. Walt and I started a new Sunday School class for adults. Class members adopted the name Micah class and based it on Micah 6:8. When work moved us from TX to GA, the class gave us the plaque as a going away gift. God used the verse to convict me that I needed to show more fairness, kindness, and humility in my life.
So you see, a scripture is not on my signature line for you. It is there for me. In this instance, it reminds me how I should conduct myself and how I should treat others.

Notification settings appear to be turned on but it still is not notifying me when someone posts to the thread. I do get a notification when someone sends a PM, but not when someone posts to the thread. Going to turn all of them off and back on. Maybe that will fix it.

No coincidences in God's economy. Here's an example. I subscribe to YouVersion, which emails a verse of the day. Today's verse just arrived in my inbox. It says, "Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body. (Proverbs 16:24)." Another reminder why I must choose my words carefully.

You've been a member since May 2014 and you don't have it figured out yet? Good luck with the lease!
180-200 class bucks taken regularly in this area
This is where you messed it up. Anyone who has seriously chased mature bucks knows that your statement above is not exactly correct. Saying this area has produced 180"-200" bucks would have been believable. Saying 200" bucks are taken regularly is b.s. and I think most guys blew off your offer because of it. I do wish you luck, it's nice to try and turn a hobby into a career. But next time a more realistic expectation would probably work better.
Bates County and adjacent counties give up 180-200 class bucks every year or two. I call that regularly but it does not mean any of us will ever kill one. It means the potential exists. This year one lucky hunter killed a 236" buck in Bates County. The probability that you or I kill a 236" buck is extremely slim, but I am motivated to hunt this farm due to the fact that bucks of that quality exist in Bates County.

I have been working at University of Saint Joseph full-time
Great benefits and retirement package
The pay could be better.
Helpful (1)
I have been working at University of Saint Joseph full-time (More than 3 years)
This job offers the following pros: Positive work environment; flexible schedule; great colleagues, student body is generally great to work with
Salary is not as high as state institution or R1 institution. Administration sometimes functions as top-down hierarchy with little input from faculty
Helpful (1)
Good people ....nice hard working people is several areas ... clean environment ... quiet campus ...not a lot of employees... can get boring.
Management is not very good at the director level. A lot of micro-management. A bit behind the times in management of employees and how departments are run.
Advice to Management
Management should not treat good hard working people as expendable especially when most of the salaries can fall well below competitors!
I have been working at University of Saint Joseph part-time
Very friendly staff, great working environment. Gorgeous campus; extremely safe. I love the variety of people you get to talk to when working as a nutrition educator. Very rewarding job.
Getting to the University through Hartford can be challenging but if you give yourself enough time to get there it isn't too bad. Parking isn't ideal but not terrible.
Advice to Management
Make sure the grant that is required for snap ed is done well in advance and try to complete everything significantly ahead of time so there are no issues in pay. Also, create a company card where you can purchase food for the food demos so the money doesn't have to go out of the educators pockets.
Positive team environment. Mission is well established.
Salary reflective of non-profit status of institution.
Advice to Management
More consideration for department involvement in decision making.
I have been working at University of Saint Joseph (Less than a year)
Slow-paced environment..... that's about it.
Management is over the top, seems to over play the job. Terrible uniforms, terrible pay, everything was misrepresented when initially signing on. No pay increases unless union negotiates a new contract, every 2 years. 1 year probation before you're in the union officially, and they still take dues during that year.
Management reserves the right (and will) to change your job description and location and add expenses on you at any point, you have no choice.
Gross favoritism from management.
Advice to Management
Treat your employees like they are human beings.
I worked at University of Saint Joseph (More than 3 years)
I was professionally accomplished and then head-hunted for the Executive Assistant position at the Wadsworth Atheneum. I felt that personally and professionally this was a position I was to accept and pursue, I excelled in two writing tests and showed examples of my organizational and communciation skills and was hired within 2 days.
Low pay, loved my job
I worked at University of Saint Joseph full-time
Very welcoming community, phenomenal retirement benefits, small department staff numbers allow employees to be involved in many different projects and learn new skills, students are wonderful to work with, the support staff for all departments are pleasant and willing to support each other
Individual professional development is lacking and formal mentorship is virtually non-existent, internal and external organizational messaging is not always consistent and departments often do not communicate with each other making simple tasks harder
Advice to Management
Create ways to cut through the bureaucracy that impedes progress by reviewing long standing processes, and continue to create opportunities for employees to support each other through development and training
I have been working at University of Saint Joseph full-time (More than 3 years)
University of Saint Joseph offers a great work-life balance and management treats all individuals with respect. Many offices are understaffed so you will be very busy, but it's good to have the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, with varying levels of difficult. USJ offers 100% tuition reimbursement to full-time employees and a great 403B match program.
low salary, little room for advancement
quality of students, good communications, respect for faculty, good compensation. A growing off-campus program for master's degree candidates and adjunct faculty- good academic rigor.
Syllabi are sometimes a bit outdated and need to be reworked. Off campus programs make no distinction between full schedule classes and 8 week classes even though there is a lot less non-class time to complete work.
This will replace the current featured review for targeted profile. Are you sure you want to replace it?
Are you sure you want to remove this review from being featured for targeted profile?

I still need to blog about the boys' school programs, but a couple pics tonight from the last 24 hours. I've worked all week, girls and I home about 5 and all sorts of stuff by 5:30. We've had ball games all week and Maya had her dance recital. Mitchell had his end of the year party today and Mason tomorrow. Mitchell gave Masons tips on batting and happy to report he's out of his hitting slump! Mitch hits consistently every game and was thrilled to tell big brother how to do it, and it worked. Matt had a milestone at work this week that he is in charge of and it went unbelievably well last night. Crazy proud of him!!! :)

Social Media - Downfall of the 'social' web?
@Mikey on 06/11/2010 10:35
Most people are on the social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Digg, Reddit, etc, and so these make up some of the 'top' social sites on the web today.
My question is, are these sites killing the 'social web'? By this I mean, Forums, Blogs, etc. I say that Social Media such as Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, etc, are the downfall of these other sites because of the nature of the social networking services.
For instance, you tweet, you get replies, that's the nature of twitter. However, if you tweet an interesting blog article, I have found that people reply to me, instead of actually commenting on the blog article. Sure, that's traffic to those sites, which is awesome if all the site owner cares about is impressions for their Adsense, however if the site owner is genuinely looking for user interaction, feedback, then Twitter is robbing that from them, because instead of getting comments on their blog, they simply get @ replies on twitter.
The same is true for Facebook, Digg and Reddit, if you post a link, people simply comment on the social media site, instead of the site which is actually being linked, and because those interesting sites are getting traffic, but not any comments (or posts in the case of forums) real genuine people (not simply people who are interested in ad income alone) are starting less and less of them.
While the Social Media sites are immensely fun to browse, sort of a 'link repository' of all the interesting things in one place, I do think that they are also affecting the web in ways they never intended..
So, is Social Media the Downfall of the 'social' web?

Above is a testimonials video I created recently for a non-profit professional association. It's very easy to create one of these. The equipment I used during the shoot included the following:
- Camera setup (about $800 a year-and-a-half ago. But, you can do the same thing using a Flip Camera for a lot less... about $200.)
- Canon Vixia HV40
- Tripod
- Microphone setup (Which I purchased from eBay a couple of years ago for about $200.)
- Wireless lapel microphone
- Wireless microphone transmitter (you see some of the interviewees holding it in their hand)
- Wireless receiver (see image below)
- a square paper napkin (free)
In case you're wondering about that last bit in the list, the napkin was a quick-and-dirty "people positioner." I dropped it on the floor at the spot where I wanted each interviewee to stand.
In terms of the microphone setup, I use a wireless lapel microphone arrangement. (The picture on the left shows the receiver plugged into the mic-in port on my camera. Meanwhile, the other end--meaning the transmitter and mic can be seen in the hands of some of my subjects. [*sigh...*]. I should've clipped it to their belt or something.)
However, you don't have to go the route I did with the sound setup. You can accomplish similar sound quality via a $40 wired microphone you can get from Radioshack, Best Buy or some other similar electronics store. The main thing is to not rely on the camera's built in microphone to capture your subject's sound. In this case, the camera was positioned about 8 feet away from the subject, so you want your subject's sound to be more pronounced than the ambient room noise. To get a feel for how my subjects might have otherwise sounded, just listen to my voice as I introduce each interviewee. Since I wasn't mic'd-up, I came across as a little more echo-y than my interview subjects. And, while that may be acceptable to have me sound that way in a short-form Q&A type session, you definitely don't want you primary subjects sounding like that. It doesn't make for compelling video testimonials. (A quick note: For longer form interviews--as in a "Larry King" type format--it would be advisable to have both subjects mic'd up.)
Simple Questions - More Compelling Responses
The other thing you'll notice, too, is that I kept the questions simple. In this case, there were three primary questions I asked each participant:
- What is (organization name) about?
- Why do you attend (organization name)?
- If someone were to establish a similar organization in their area, what success tips would you give them?
You may discover your own technique. But generally speaking, I like to keep the questions simple and few when I conduct testimonial videos. And, keep the questions open-ended. (Meaning, the response requires a short essay-type response, rather than one that could otherwise satisfy the question with a simple "yes" or "no.") The rationale for keeping the questions simple and on-point with a specific, discrete and simple idea is because your subject will fill in the "blank" with his or her own thoughts and words. If you make the question too complex, they'll have to think about it more which subsequently creates a longer pause on camera. (Less compelling.)
The other thing is that, from the viewer's perspective, by asking each interviewee the same simple question, you make it easy for them, too. And, by holding one of the variables static (i.e., limiting the variability in the questions asked), you make it easier for anybody watching your video to do a compare/contrast analysis in their head; viewers have less variables to have to wade through and can quickly evaluate the testimonials on the basis of how different people answer the same questions.
Your Thoughts?
Your thoughts? What are some of your favorite testimonial questions to ask? What are your thoughts about keeping the questions simple? Good idea? Or, do you prefer more complex interactions?

Pet Furniture July 11, 2014
I'm always on the lookout for stylish pet furniture, and this cat house is quite a looker. Made from birch wood, it is open-aired and light. I also like the humorous aspect of it – a cat furniture piece that looks like a big fish. Restores the power balance in the pet hierarchy. The piece is designed by Korean designer Sang Nam-Park and available for purchase here.
j'aimerai bien savoir ou le trouver!et voir le prix? suis retraitée avec 2 chats!merci!

Roofing issues routinely create significant issues for commercial and industrial building owners. While there are several roofing options available for commercial and industrial structures, not all offer the same benefits. When it's time to install a roof on a new structure or replace an existing roof, discuss the options available with the contractor before making any decisions, as each type of roofing product has significant pros and cons. Even before talking to a contractor, it's a good idea to understand some roofing basics.
What is the most common type of roofing used for commercial and industrial buildings?
Since the majority of commercial and industrial buildings are either flat or have a minimal pitch, the traditional material used for generations included several layers of waterproof materials, typically tar paper with hot tar applied between the layers. The roof was then topped with a layer of tar and gravel. This type of roofing frequently suffers from leaks and requires regular recoating to remain watertight, but is still popular with many building owners.
If there are issues with built-up roofs, why do they remain popular?
There is one very specific reason building owners continue to use the system – it's cheap to install. However, the installation costs only reflect a portion of the overall expense of a roof. In this case, the frequent maintenance required and the propensity for leaks makes built-up roofing a poor choice. Savvy building owners understand the risks involved with the system and are now choosing alternatives to better protect their investments.
What other roofing options are available?
For commercial roofing, as well as industrial roofing, other options include single layer systems that are far superior to the old built-up tar and gravel systems. However, even those systems present some issues. Modified bitumen, for example, may require heating with a torch to seal seams. While newer versions eliminate the need for torching, the surface can easily be damaged by foot traffic.
PVC roofing is both reflective and durable. It can even stand up to water standing in low spots. EPDM roofing is also durable but shares a common issue with PVC roofing products – they both have seams that can potentially fail. That means routine maintenance is needed to ensure the seams remain intact. Another option is a silicone roof coating system. However, that system is quite expensive. So, are there other, more sustainable options?
Metal roofing products are, arguably, better options for most commercial and industrial buildings.
Although no roofing system is perfect, metal roofing is a top choice of many contractors. A commercial roofing contractor in Oklahoma City will quickly outline the advantages of metal roofing systems to building owners. Some advantages include:
- Work can continue while most metal roofing systems are being installed.
- The building is not subject to water damage while a new metal roof is being installed.
- Building interiors are instantly cooler, as heat is reflected rather than absorbed by the roof's surface.
Of course, since each building is unique, specific advantages will be different for each application. Discuss your building's specific needs with the contractor for more information. However, after reviewing all the options available, many building owners are deciding metal roofing is the best choice for their buildings.
Residential roofing services are also available for Oklahoma City homeowners. Whether it's a simple repair or complete roof replacement, residential clients will receive the same quality service as commercial and industrial clients enjoy. For a free estimate, contact the professionals today.
