I taught my granddaughter to quilt during her visit this summer and started her off sewing stash strips together. Should have named it "No Yellow in My Quilt" as she refused to use the color yellow! She did all the piecing herself and then I machine quilted it for her and she did the binding. I think she did really great for her first quilt!! It's beautiful and so is she.
Congratulations Alyssa, ou should be very proud. I really like your colour selection and you border fabric.
She did do an excellent job for a first quilt. And she is very beautiful as well. Lucky girl to have a grandmother to teach her.
Alyssa did an excellent job on her first quilt. Hopefully there will be many more in her future. Very beautiful young lady.
alyssa, what a beautiful quilt, you already have a great color sense. nice job, i hope we will be seeing more of your quilts. gini
jean, you have a beautiful granddaughter. gini
Excellent job! Machine quilting is the next step!!!
What a gorgeous young lady!! She did a good job on her first quilt. Keep up the good work.
Jean, you are so right beautiful girl with a beautiful quilt. WTG Alyssa.
Great job!
Alyssa - You did a beautiful job on your first quilt. I also do alot sewing/quilting with my granddaughter. Have fun and good luck with future quilting.
Great Job Alyssa and Jean. This is the same pattern I made for my first quilt 16 years ago.
You did a beautiful job on your quilt. I hope you enjoyed making it and will make more!
Wow, what a great job and a beautiful girl. What is her age? I have a granddaughter that just turned 5. I have been working with her on cutting out felt animals and hand sewing. Any suggestions for teaching a 5yr. old.
Alyssa, you did a great job on your quilt, I hope you stick with it. And what a patient and loving gramma
Alyssa, great job and wonderful grandma to teach you this craft. Keep up the good work!
Jean and Alyssa--
Such a beautiful quilt. Hope it's just the first of many you'll work on together. Is that a label I see on the bottom row, second from the right?
Joyce Brenden, yest that is a label you see on the bottom row, second from the right. We needed one more block to complete the last row so decided to add a plain square for the label info on the front and it turned out nicely that way.
My granddaughter was 9yrs old this summer when she made this quilt. As for a 5yr old...can't say that I have any suggestions other than close attention and lots of patience!!
I'll have to show Alyssa all the great comments from you gals when she is here for a visit in April before they leave for England for three years!
Wonderful quilt and what memories you are building. I helped my granddaughter make her first quilt last summer. She was 7 then, and needed a lot of supervision while sewing the scraps together. But what fun we had and she is already talking about making another one this summer. The pattern you used would be a good one for my Emily. You may just have to buy a second sewing machine so you can now sew together.
Thanks for all the great comments. ROTFLOL over the suggestion that I may have to buy a second sewing machine so we can now sew together......I already have seven sewing machines so I guess there is room for more grandchildren, right?? :)
Oh it is so bright and colorful. She did a great job on it. My granddaughter made one for her dad and it has taken a while to get it finished but she started it in 2002 I was going to show her how to quilt it but she was not interested at that time so this year I quilted it for her and she is very proud of her first quilt. It is good to have them interested in what we are interested in.
I love this quilt because I too hate yellow. It looks very well done, especially for a first quilt. Keep on quilting!
you must be very proud of your granddaughter!! She did a nice job and especially being her first quilt. good luck on many more.
Get started early! It adds so much joy to your life to quilt! NICE JOB ON YOUR QUILT!

"5 photographers, a writer, 2 weeks, a bus." Thus begins a unique documentary project comprised of Magnum photographers Jim Goldberg, Susan Meiselas, Paolo Pellegrin, Alec Soth, Mikhael Subotzky, and writer Ginger Strand, who will be traveling from San Antonio to Oakland from May 12 to May 26 on the first of a series of trips across the country.
They've been blogging about it since the end of March, so there's already plenty to see and read. You can follow them on various social media sites, and you can even post your own images at the "Postcards From America" Flickr site. At the end they will be mounting a special exhibition of images from the trip at the Starline in Oakland, and they promise to include some of the follower-contributed Flickr images as well.
The idea was born at a retreat where Magnum photographers talked about, of all things, photography. It's exactly the type of independent project that was behind Magnum's founding by Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, David Seymour, and George Roger in 1947. Established to preserve the copyright of their work, the Magnum cooperative agency thus secured perpetual revenue from the photographers' imagery. This watershed moment in photojournalism thereby allowed the photographers to break free from the news cycle and pursue more in-depth and independent projects like "Postcards From America."
The Ransom Center is excited to participate in this unique documentary event, which comes as an outgrowth of our relationship with Magnum Photos. In 2010 the Ransom Center joined in partnership with Magnum Photos and MSD Capital, LP to house some 200,000 original press prints from Magnum's New York bureau. The Ransom Center has since created a preliminary inventory and opened the collection to students, faculty, and the general public. We continue to work with Magnum, including the Magnum Foundation, to add further research value to the collection.
The events on Friday, May 13, begin with a chance to informally meet and talk with the photographers between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. at their R.V., which will be parked on the north end of the Ransom Center plaza. This will be followed by a public discussion among the "Postcards" participants about photography and ways to picture America, held at 7 p.m. C.S.T. at Jessen Auditorium, Homer Rainey Hall, across the plaza from the Ransom Center. The program will be webcast live.
I hope you can join us.

Well, now that I've had dinner with the VP candidates it's time to break bread with the top of the tickets. If I were able to dine with Obama I'd jazz things up a bit. My questions for him would be…
- Can you get past the first two words of the Lord's Prayer? (As a man who never had a daddy, I know first hand what it feels like to discover God as your Father. Usually when I pray the Lord's prayer I camp out on, "Our Father.")
- Who are you and how do you know? (Being an African-American, literally, the son of an African and an American the journey to identity must have been hard fought. He has shared some of this in his books but I'd want to know more about the source of his true identity.)
- Are you a compromised man? (This is not meant to be a political question. In his book, Audacious Hope, he demonstrated a desire for creative tension. That is, holding on to two sides of an argument and pursuing a third way. I like this approach but I wonder what the cost are…)
- Did people make fun of you because your initials are B. O.?!
Politics aside, what would you ask?

CRUZ FANS FLAMES OF GOP CIVIL WAR – House to pass CR, defund Obamacare – NRSC knocks Dems on coal rule – House cuts billions from food stamps – THE HAMMER'S REDEMPTION – Is FERC nominee toast?
By Scott Wong ( firstname.lastname@example.com or @scottwongDC)
CRUZ FANS FLAMES OF GOP CIVIL WAR – Manu Raju, Burgess Everett and Jake Sherman have the story for POLITICO: "Ted Cruz is in the middle of an escalating GOP civil war on Obamacare, a risk that could turn into a major public relations debacle for the prospective presidential hopeful. For the past few months, Cruz has been riling up the right, urging Republicans to use a government funding bill as leverage to defund Obamacare. But given Democratic control of the Senate and White House — and growing Republican reticence about shutting down the government — even Cruz's GOP supporters acknowledge there's virtually no chance his tactics will succeed.
Story Continued Below
-- "Cruz's handling of the episode already is sparking criticism from House and Senate Republicans. At the same time, Republicans in each house are turning on each other in ways previously unseen on a goal they actually agree on — getting rid of Obamacare. The GOP rifts and deepening distrust are increasing the prospect of a government shutdown when the new fiscal year begins Oct. 1. … Even Republicans who support using the continuing resolution to defund Obamacare agree that the effort is futile '"There isn't anybody that thinks that Obamacare is going to get defunded. It cannot happen,' said Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho). … Asked if he were prepared to see the government shutdown over the matter, Risch said: 'We were elected to govern — you don't govern by shutting down the government.' …
-- "Cruz has been the most polarizing within the party, calling out wayward GOP senators in speeches and on talk radio, with his chief of staff even singling out Senate Republicans for joining a 'surrender caucus.' The talk has made Cruz a hero on the right, boosting his stock among conservatives who argue that the party lacks a spine and needs more brass-knuckled leaders. But it has made him a pariah among many of his colleagues, and that could certainly come back to haunt him should he seek the 2016 nomination. … The House GOP's outright disdain for their Senate colleagues has never been more pervasive — or pronounced. Speaker John Boehner's (R-Ohio) conference … is flatly sick of the criticism lobbed at them from their Senate colleagues. And after Cruz said on Wednesday that the Senate probably has the votes to include Obamacare funding in the stopgap measure, House Republicans believed he was trying to deflect the blame for near-certain failure." http://politi.co/18fmWQh
-- Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) accused Cruz of "carrying out a fraud" in an interview with CNN: http://politi.co/159XSLI
-- The GOP civil war is boosting President Obama, writes our own Jonathan Allen, who flagged this tweet in his piece: "I didn't go to Harvard or Princeton, but I can count," Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) tweeted, subtly mocking Cruz's Ivy League education. "The defunding box canyon is a tactic that will fail and weaken our position." http://politi.co/18fkbOI
– From Rep. Ted Yoho and Justin Amash to Tom Graves, there's been a rotating cast of characters standing up to Speaker Boehner at every turn, the NYT's Ashley Parker and Jonathan Weisman report. http://nyti.ms/1euMcGv
-- THE HOUSE this morning will pass a bill to avert a shutdown and keep the government running but that strips funding from Obamacare. http://wapo.st/1dux5dk

HUDDLE FIRST LOOK: NRSC KNOCKS DEMS ON COAL – The NRSC this morning hits 2014 Democratic Senate candidates for siding with President Obama's new EPA rule limiting climate-change emissions from future power plants and "crippling the coal industry." One new release targeting North Carolina Sen. Kay Hagan reads: "For years, Senator Kay Hagan (D-NC) has supported President Obama and Harry 'Oil and Coal Makes Us Sick' Reid's energy agenda. So, it came as no surprise when Hedging-Hagan went into hiding when President Obama announced in June that he would bypass Congress to implement a radical environmental plan that many are calling a 'War on coal and American energy.' And it will come as even less of a surprise when Hagan continues to loyally support the Obama Administration's radical new EPA proposal. … Many workers, families, and businesses who rely on the oil, coal and energy industries across North Carolina and other energy producing states believe that this is just the latest salvo in the president's 'War on Affordable Energy.' In an already weak economy, this salvo amounts to a 'War on the Middle Class.'"
The other Dems targeted are: Sen. Mark Begich (Alaska), Sen. Mary Landrieu (Louisiana), Rep. Gary Peters (Michigan), Rep Bruce Braley (Iowa), Natalie Tennant (West Virginia) and Alison Lundergan Grimes (Kentucky). http://bit.ly/15a5pKu
THE ROGERS REPORT: HOUSE VOTES TO CUT BILLIONS FROM FOOD STAMPS – "The House narrowly approved a Republican plan Thursday to cut billions from food stamps by tightening eligibility rules and ending state waivers that have allowed able-bodied workers to continue to get help when unemployed for more than three months," David Rogers writes. "The 217-210 vote represents a victory for Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) who has promoted the bill as a revival of the spirit that led to welfare reform in the 1990's. But the tactics were extraordinary with no committee markup to review the 109-page package, nor amendments permitted on the floor. And by pushing the farm bill debate so far to the right, the majority leader risks making it impossible to reach a larger deal this fall with the Democratic Senate. Indeed, the House package promises $39 billion in savings over the coming decade—nearly 10 times what the Senate approved in June. The poorest households with children are largely protected, but 3.8 million people could be cut from the rolls in 2014 and hundreds of thousands of households would see their benefits reduced." http://politi.co/1ffHjA2
-- Here are the 15 moderate Republicans who voted against the bill: Reps. Peter King (N.Y.), Shelley Moore Capito (W. Va.), Chris Gibson (N.Y.), Walter Jones (N.C.), Richard Hanna (N.Y.), Chris Smith (N.J.), Frank LoBiondo (N.J.), Don Young (Alaska), Frank Wolf (Va.), Mike Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Jeff Fortenberry (Neb.), Michael Grimm (N.Y.), Patrick Meehan (Pa.), Gary Miller (Calif.), David Valadao (Calif.).

THE HAMMER'S REDEMPTION: DeLAY ALL SMILES ON CAPITOL HILL – "Even Tom DeLay gets his day in the sun," writes POLITICO's John Bresnahan. "The former House majority leader, who resigned from Congress under an ethical cloud in 2006, was all smiles on Thursday as he surfaced on Capitol Hill the same day a Texas appeals court threw out his 2010 conviction on state money-laundering charges. Smaller and frailer-looking then he was in his glory years of a decade ago, DeLay praised Jesus for carrying him through the long, expensive and politically devastating legal battle that helped sink his career. 'I just thank the Lord for carrying me through all of this,' DeLay told reporters as he made his way to a Texas GOP delegation meeting. 'It really drove my detractors crazy because I had the joy of Jesus in me, and they didn't understand it.' …
-- Thursday brought vindication . DeLay, who said he was in a prayer meeting when he heard the news, first joked — as only he could — that a veteran Capitol Hill reporter should 'retract' all his bad stories about the onetime power broker. 'I'm not saying it was easy to go through or put my family through. I'm very happy about it,' DeLay told reporters. 'In the ruling, they say I should have never been charged, much less indicted.'" http://politi.co/18HdQYB
NANCY PELOSI UNPLUGGED: THE TEA PARTY CR – POLITICO's Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei sit down with the minority leader and former speaker for their latest installment of "Behind the Curtain": "Striking a tone of disgust, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi ridicules the GOP as obsessed with its loathing of President Obama and hell-bent on hurting him politically, regardless the cost. She assigns little to no blame to the president (even though Democrats privately say that's laughable) and instead portrays him as saintly, above reproach and the victim of jealousy or something worse. After 26 years in the House, she says, 'I haven't seen anything like it. I haven't seen anything like it.' Throughout a 50-minute interview on Thursday in her second-floor Capitol office, where the late Speaker Tip O'Neill used to receive supplicants, Pelosi was sharply derisive about the scorn Republicans have for this president. …'You know why it is. He's brilliant, … he thinks in a strategic way in how to get something done … and he's completely eloquent. That's a package that they don't like.' …
-- "Pelosi, age 73 and with no signs of mellowing, had just spent 10 minutes on the phone with Speaker John Boehner, 32 months after surrendering the gavel to him. She said she has 'no idea … no idea' whether he will depend on Democratic votes to avoid default or a government shutdown, or whether he has plans that can eventually pass with Republican votes alone. Her private opinion: he has no idea either. All she knows for sure is that the Republicans' initial plan to keep the government running past Sept. 30 — including the anti-Obamacare provision demanded by the right — is a dead letter with her caucus. 'The Speaker knows that,' she said. 'I call it the tea party continuing resolution, because they are obviously driving the ship. … I believe that the path the Republicans are on is designed to shut down government. … [T]he question is: Can they have their ideological dream come true, or will there be some voice of reason?'" http://politi.co/1fgsA7O
IS FERC NOMINEE TOAST? SENATE SUPPORT ERODES – Blake Neff writes for The Hill: "President Obama's nominee to lead the Federal Energy Regulator Commission (FERC) is in grave danger as opposition grows among Republicans, conservative organizations and industry groups. Even a key Democrat now opposes Ron Binz, and an industry spokesman has gone so far as to call him a 'dead nominee.' Binz, who from 2007 through 2011 headed the Colorado Public Utility Commission, was nominated by Obama in June to take over FERC, an independent regulatory agency with authority over interstate electricity sales, oil and natural gas pipelines, and other energy-related matters. The Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources held his confirmation hearing on Tuesday. A committee vote to recommend Binz has not yet been scheduled by chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), but its prospects have grown dim in recent days, with Wednesday's announcement from Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) that he would vote against Binz being the most devastating blow so far." http://bit.ly/1fgwVIi
SAME FIRM VETTED SNOWDEN, NAVY YARD SHOOTER: 'PATTERN OF FAILURE' -- Danielle Ivory and Kathleen Miller report for Bloomberg: "The same federal contractor that vetted Edward Snowden, who leaked information about classified U.S. spying programs, also performed a background check that let the Washington Navy Yard shooter obtain a security clearance. Now the contractor, USIS, is drawing fire from a U.S. senator asking how Snowden and Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis slipped through the cracks. The vetting process has also been included in an inquiry by law enforcement agencies into Alexis's activities before his deadly rampage this week. No company does more U.S. government background checks for clearances than USIS, which was awarded $253 million by the Office of Personnel Management last year. …
-- "'What's emerging is a pattern of failure on the part of this company, and a failure of this entire system, that risks nothing less than our national security and the lives of Americans,'[Sen. Claire] McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat, said in a statement. 'We clearly need a top-to-bottom overhaul of how we vet those who have access to our country's secrets and to our secure facilities.'" http://bloom.bg/16KvFJC
ZUCKERBERG STEERS CLEAR OF NSA TALK ON HILL – Jessica Meyers reports for POLITICO: "Mark Zuckerberg did not appear to bring his California rant against government snooping to Washington. His two-day blitz on Capitol Hill instead touched repeatedly on immigration and laid the groundwork for the Facebook CEO's entry into D.C. Just last week in San Francisco, Zuckerberg accused the government of foiling its initial response to NSA surveillance efforts. But the tech chief's conversations Wednesday and Thursday took place with lawmakers more connected to immigration and online privacy than intelligence. And while immigration did not represent his sole focus, it became a dominant theme during his Capitol tour — and indicated priorities that eclipse NSA." http://politi.co/1eWjG1G
GOODLATTE BACKS 'EARNED' CITIZENSHIP FOR DREAMERS – Seung Min Kim reports: "A top House Republican in the immigration reform debate on Thursday explicitly endorsed a pathway to citizenship for some undocumented immigrants brought to the United States illegally by their parents. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) said that for the young undocumented immigrants to qualify for this path, they would have to meet certain requirements such as in education or with military service. 'I wouldn't give them what I would call a special pathway to citizenship,' Goodlatte said at a House Republican Conference event marking Hispanic Heritage Month. 'I would give them an earned pathway to citizenship.' Goodlatte also repeated his openness to a citizenship path for the broader undocumented population." http://politi.co/1eWctig
'STAND WITH RAND PAC' TAKES STAND AGAINST FEC – Dave Levinthal writes for the Center for Public Integrity: "The 'Stand with Rand PAC' is taking a stand against the government. In a letter to the Federal Election Commission, the independent political committee today cheekily dismissed regulators' assertion that it can't use the name of Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., in its title unless the candidate himself formally authorizes it. 'This Committee ... is unaware that the late Ayn Rand, noted philosopher and author and of Atlas Shrugged, is seeking election to federal office,' Stand with Rand PAC wrote. Striking a more serious tone, the committee also accused the FEC of 'broad overreach.' It argued that the agency 'must allow the maximum of first amendment freedom of expression in political campaigns commensurate with Congress' regulatory authority.' Stand with Rand PAC's website features photos and quotations of Paul. It displays a t-shirt with Paul's silhouette hovering over the words 'Stand with Rand.'" http://bit.ly/1dtdhXz
DSCC TOPS DEBT-FREE NRSC IN AUGUST FUNDRAISING – Kyle Trygstad reports for Roll call: "The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee topped its Republican counterpart in fundraising last month, the seventh time in eight months the majority party has done so. The DSCC raised $3.3 million in August and ended the month with $9.4 million in cash on hand, according to numbers provided by the committee. The DSCC had $10 million in debt remaining as of July 31, according to its last monthly Federal Election Commission report, and no update to that figure was given. Meanwhile, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which has been outraised by more than $10 million so far this cycle, earlier this month paid off its remaining debt from the 2012 cycle. The GOP committee was also the first to do so last cycle. The NRSC will report raising $1.9 million in August and ending the month with $4.8 million on hand. As of Sept. 3, that cash flow number was down to $2.3 million after paying off its remaining debt, according to an NRSC spokesman" http://bit.ly/14nSjqA

ANY aspiring Saints left-back will have to bear the burden of comparisons with Gareth Bale and Luke Shaw.
For Matt Targett, that was most certainly the case last night as he followed in the footsteps of his two predecessors by making his first-team debut against Millwall.
It is eight years since a 16-year-old Gareth Bale began his journey from the Championship to the Bernabeu by helping Saints to a 2-0 win against Millwall St Mary's in April 2006.
And it's less than three since Shaw made his debut at an even more tender age.
The Manchester United new-boy replaced Bale as Saints' second-youngest player behind Theo Walcott when he made his bow as a 77th-minute substitute for Jason Puncheon in an FA Cup fourth-round tie at The New Den in January 2012.
No-one is expecting Targett to be the new Bale or Shaw. Targett, who turns 19 in three weeks' time, is only two months younger than Shaw.
But he will have gained confidence from his debut performance in Saints' Capital One Cup win in south London last night. For starters it was a better result for the team than their previous cup visit, when Millwall earned a replay by cancelling out Rickie Lambert's first-half goal late on, before winning the replay 3-2 at St Mary's.
And, in helping to keep a clean sheet, Targett played well.
He got forward at every opportunity, was composed in possession, crossed a good ball and defended well when he had to.
The Eastleigh boy will also have benefited from playing in a relatively experienced team, with Ronald Koeman deciding to treat the Capital One Cup with more respect than his predecessor gave the FA Cup.
Targett made the most of Yoshida's willingness to cover his forays forward, particularly in the first half, overlapping fellow academy alumnus Lloyd Isgrove before seeing his first cross deflected behind.
He linked up well with Shane Long and James Ward-Prowse, providing the pass for the latter to fire goalwards and was not afraid to fizz a cross into the penalty area.
Most importantly, Targett did his main job well. When former Saints midfielder Richard Chaplow robbed him of possession at the end of the first half, he won it back immediately.
And although he was booked for a foul on John Marquis late on, he had dealt with the Millwall striker with relative ease throughout.

Ethical Dilemmas—Then and Now
When are workers most stressed?
The amount of fatigue during the week varies with the skill of the worker. In the boot and shoe industry, for example, the most expert operative's record was found to rise throughout the week, whereas in some instances the poorer workers began to fall from Wednesday or even earlier onwards. The influence of fatigue may be masked by spurts. Thus, in silk weaving, the best output occurs between Thursday morning and Friday noon, which is the "making up time" for calculating the wages to be paid on the week's work.

Equal pay for equal work?
In a survey of a rubber company in Akron, Ohio, "at least 17 percent of the absenteeism of the women office employees was caused by ailments peculiar to women only: dysmenorrhea and ovarian congestion. It was noted that absenteeism for both men and women was less on pay days than other days. In one case, 50 employees were absent the day before pay day and only six were absent on pay day. Women may be intellectually competent to undertake any and all vocations, but the officials of this particular company decided that salaried women employees do not deserve the same pay as men even when they hold the same kinds of positions."

To test or not to test?
Tests are not cabalistic divining rods. They are merely objective applications of our everyday common-sense approach, in which we use a sample of an individual's behavior as an illustration of what his or her later behavior is likely to be in the job situation. Every employment interviewer observes an applicant's behavior with this end in view. Any such representative task or situation, which may be used to predict, roughly or accurately, the way in which the individual will do the work represented, is a "psychological test."

Why are workers dying?
The evidence with regard to tuberculosis, the second highest cause of death to the working population, is complicated and baffling. What with improvements in sanitation, housing and treatment, and changes in the general economic conditions of the people, it is impossible to calculate the extent to which the Machine Age is responsible for the white plague.

How to improve wartime morale?
Most workers in both war industries and nonwar industries think their jobs important. (Even girls in beauty parlors justify their work on the grounds that women with fancy hair-dos help keep up national morale.) [Although] from one point of view this feeling is all right, particularly for workers in war industries, it creates a tremendous labor resistance to compulsory transfer of workers from nonessential jobs to war work. [Moreover], less than half of juvenile workers think their jobs important, even though on actual war jobs. There is a special need for improving the morale of juvenile workers, and getting them to feel the specific relation of their work to the war effort.

Can personnel departments really help?
Prior to setting up a Personnel Department in companies of this type [200 to 1,000 employees], each Department Head was the Lord High Executioner of his or her private domain—setting his own policies, wage rates and working conditions with little thought given to the coordinating of policies with other departments in the organization; and if his morning toast was burnt, chop-chop-chop and someone's head came off. [Thus] the first source of friction that a new Personnel Manager is likely to encounter, and one of the most difficult to overcome, is with these Department Heads who in most cases are old employees who resent relinquishing any of their former authority to a so-called newcomer into the organization.

Is the coffee breaknecessary?
Companies agree that the coffee break is desirable, whether they provide for the refreshments or simply allow employees to find their own ways of getting it. Most of them, however, think the assets are intangible. Thirty-six of those questioned by the Field Research Division of the Paper Cup and Container Institute cite the promotion of a friendly feeling as the main advantage, while 24 think the office breaks may have some effect in reducing fatigue. Nine guessed that coffee breaks increased production, but even these were not very sure.

Does race impactself-worth?
The Negro industrial worker takes with him to his work a set of aspirations, a level of expectations, which is the product of the society in which he lives. As he remains in the plant, he tends to minimize the factor of race as a criterion for evaluating himself regarding his work. Depending on the racial policy of the company, his satisfaction with his work is affected accordingly. And such a principle suggests, further, that as a practical matter of personnel administration, workers can no longer be distributed in the plant on the basis of traditional community patterns of race relations; for these so-called traditional norms of the community are in chaos, in flux, rapid dissolution, change and reorganization.

When does gender dictateemployee behavior?
Certain basics become obvious after many years of experience in selecting, training and working with all types of people. One is that men and women don't change much, not as to fundamental qualities. They may cover up deficiencies for a while, but they usually revert to type. The man who was good in arithmetic in school will probably make a better invoice clerk than one who had poor grades. The hot-headed individual is apt to explode again and again; the flirtatious girl will continue to flaunt her charms. Good intentions don't change natural characteristics, nor do they often overcome the grooves of habit.

Nail the cheaters?
Unqualified job holders who have secured their appointments dishonestly incur the disrespect of their peers not only for themselves, but for the ineffective personnel program that permits their selection and, by extension, the organization itself. It has been estimated that three cases of cheating probably go undetected for every case that is discovered. However, the real danger of cheating lies in what goes undiscovered. The cheater who is caught can be controlled or punished. Poorly controlled cheating, on the other hand, can wreak havoc to the best selection program.

Are we giving enough benefits?
It's an American tradition to grumble about wages, to laugh at the latest bawling-out the supervisor received, and to deride management as the symbol of much that is wrong with the country. Yet typical American workers appear to give little thought to the question of how much has been spent on their behalf by the company. It would come as a surprise to most workers, and to many managers, to learn that payments by companies for employee benefits now average more than $2,500 per year per employee.

How to able the disabled?
Affirmative action requires you to seek out candidates from the various rehabilitation agencies within your community. This may be difficult with your other responsibilities. Success of your affirmative action ultimately depends on your ability to analyze job factors, adapt them to the worker and enhance his or her motivation to become productive. As one man has put it: "It can be done, it ought to be done. So do it."

How can computers better help HR managers?
While the personnel function has obtained some relief from its paperwork burdens through use of the computer, it has obtained comparatively little aid from it in the area of planning and decision making. Generally, there is weak coordination between computer staffs and personnel staffs. One result of this is the lack of common plans about objectives regarding personnel systems. This problem is compounded by the fact that most computer technicians are not very sensitive to behavioral problems, and not adept in the roles of the social scientist.

Who gains from social responsibility?
When management encourages an assembly line worker to give time and money to a cause she cares about, management is saying: "We know your life extends beyond this factory and beyond working just to stay alive. And we think that's great; we respect your values, and we want to accommodate your efforts." This sort of support can only increase employees' loyalty to the company and, along with it, their desire to give a little more in return.

Does spirituality matterat work?
Most of the people leading the spirit-at-work paradigm shift, or at least those nudging it along, say spirituality at work isn't about believing in a particular religion, although many expressions of spirituality at work stem from various religious traditions—from Jewish faith to Hinduism to Christianity. It's about taking a broader, more global view of the spiritual dimension, which may, for some, encompass their religious beliefs. For example, the spiritual concepts of balance, trust, harmony, communication, values, mission, honesty and cooperation come from religious traditions, but aren't the sole byproduct of any one of them.

A sexual predator tried to attack a 12-year-old girl in her Lower East Side building but she was saved when a noise scared him away, detectives said.
Police released surveillance video of the intruder, who tricked the girl into letting him inside her building near Hester Street Monday evening about 6 p.m.
After she opened the door for him, the suspect followed the girl up to the third-floor stairwell, police said. Suddenly he heard a noise and ran away without hurting the girl, police said.
The suspect is described as a white man, about 25 to 30 years old, approximately five-feet nine inches and about 175 pounds. He was last seen wearing a blue jacket, brown pants and a grey hat.
If you recognize him, police ask that you call crime stoppers at 1 800 577-TIPS.

Yet a Glamor-puss Still
Mirror, mirror on the wall who is the coolest of them all?'' As it turns out, the elephant wins! Rectally speaking, the elephant is the coolest with 36.5 C (97.7 F). We are a close second with 37 C (98.6 F) Also-ran candidates are summarized in the table that follows.
Engineers stepped up to the plate to reject the hypothesis that sparse pelage might serve as insulation. In fact, in still air, the hair accounts for about a 5% of the flux of heat to the air. With forced convection (add wind), cooling gives rise to a 23% increase flux in heat from the elephant to the surrounding air. In the American South, hand-fans are used to generate a breeze of 2.5 cm/sec, enough for the user to bask in fan's air-streams. Next, we find that elephantine ear flapping provides just such forced convection. Ear flapping rate is correlated with air temperature.
So, Elephant Hair! What is it good for? Elephant hair, like human hair, is not equally distributed the body. Notably on the forehead, lips (top and bottom) long, glamorous eyelashes. And the eyebrows are not so shabby either. Those of our ilk have eccrine and apocrine sweat glands. Eccrine for sweating and cooling and apocrine for stinking up the place. Elephants don't have apocrine sweat glands. Their eccrine sweat glands are numerous between toes.
Follow that Elephant!

(Edited press release)
Newmarket and Jockey Club Racecourses have appointed Stephen Wallis to managing director of Newmarket Racecourses.
Wallis will succeed Lisa Hancock, who will resign in November.
Wallis is currently managing director of Epsom Downs, where he has worked since 1994. He will work closely with Hancock in the final weeks of the current season to ensure a smooth handover, while also retaining an involvement with Epsom Downs in leading the search for the next sponsor of the Derby Festival.
Ric Hambro, chairman of Newmarket, stated, "I am delighted that Stephen has accepted the role of Newmarket's managing director. Lisa will be a hard act to follow, but I am confident that the course will continue to flourish as Stephen builds on her considerable achievements.
"Stephen has overseen the revitalization of the (Epsom) Derby (Eng-I) to great effect, and his experience, communication skills, and rapport with all sectors of the racing industry will hold him in good stead in his new role."
"I am very much looking forward to the challenge of succeeding Lisa at Newmarket," said Wallis. "I have enjoyed my time at Epsom immensely and only an opportunity as exciting and inspiring as the role at Newmarket could have tempted me away."
The process of identifying a new managing director for Epsom has begun, and an announcement will be made in due course.

Updated at 4:17 p.m.: Metro-North officials said late Friday afternoon that service on the New Haven Line is likely to be suspended during the Friday afternoon evening rush hour because the Walk Bridge cannot be fully closed. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority will provide 24 buses from the Bronx to shuttle riders between South Norwalk and East Norwalk, said Aaron Donovan, an MTA spokesman.
Trains will run in two sections: Between New York's Grand Central Terminal and South Norwalk, and between East Norwalk and New Haven. Train service between Stamford and Grand Central is not affected, Donovan said, and will operate on normal schedules.
Donovan said Metro-North is working to restore full train service as quickly as possible.
Original story: The evening commute for Metro-North riders on the New Haven line Friday evening may be complicated as the Walk Bridge in Norwalk is stuck open again.
The mechanical bridge in South Norwalk could not be closed on Friday afternoon, halting traffic on the railroad in both directions between the South Norwalk and East Norwalk stations. Metro-North officials said Friday that repairs will take several hours.
The 118-year-old bridge had a mechanical failure on May 29 as railroad crews were testing it in the overnight hours. Trains were delayed for several hours during the morning commute. Passengers heading west had to get off trains and take buses from the South Norwalk station, while those heading east to New Haven had to get off at the East Norwalk station to continue travel by bus.
Last week's problem prompted U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal to call for more investment in Metro-North's infrastructure. The Connecticut Department of Transportation is applying for federal funds to pay for the installation of a new bridge.

"Savage" was one leading playwright's verdict on Latitude's theatre tent, which this year has expanded to meet demand. Thankfully, the audience was forgiving, because few have given much thought to what might go in there. Sit there long enough and you risk suffocation by words and a baffling lack of imagination. Given an instant turnaround and a bare space, British theatre's solution is to talk the audience into submission.
The Lyric tries harder than most and acquits itself honourably with Simon Stephens and Tashan Cushnie's Supernova, which transforms the space into a seedy pub for a piece that, with its washed-up rock star and wannabe, creates a debate about musical legacies to twang the Latitude guitar. The Bush, meanwhile, has resorted to a relentless barrage of sex and poo jokes for Suddenlossofdignity.com.
There is far more to tantalise beyond the tent, where fragility is celebrated in the delicate participatory installations in Pandora's Playground, which include Every Brilliant Thing, a list of things that make life worth living. Tangled Feet's Home appears like a travelling sideshow and disappears into the night again, and in the woods Rachel Rose Reid's retelling of Persephone conjures skulls and pomegranates. Such fleeting moments offer a glimpse of magic.

VIENNA: A visit to Iran by UN inspectors probing Iran's suspected nuclear weapons activities failed to achieve a breakthrough, with Tehran denying access to a key military site, the IAEA said Wednesday.
"Intensive efforts were made to reach agreement on a document facilitating the clarification of unresolved issues in connection with Iran's nuclear programme," the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in a statement.
"Unfortunately, agreement was not reached on this document."
The team requested access both during this visit and during a first trip in late January to the Parchin military site, near Tehran, where it believes explosives testing was carried out, but Iran "did not grant permission," it said.
"It is disappointing that Iran did not accept our request to visit Parchin during the first or second meetings," IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano said in the statement.
"We engaged in a constructive spirit, but no agreement was reached."
The statement gave no further details and did not say whether another visit was planned.
Iran's envoy to the IAEA, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, was quoted by the Iranian news agency ISNA as saying the talks had been intensive and covered "cooperation and mutual understanding between Iran and the IAEA."
"These negotiations will continue in the future," Soltanieh said.
The high-ranking IAEA team led by Herman Nackaerts, the Vienna-based agency's Belgian chief inspector and its Argentine number two Rafael Grossi, was due back in Vienna later on Wednesday.
The visit was aimed, the IAEA had said, at clarifying all "outstanding substantive issues" surrounding Tehran's nuclear programme, in particular what it called "possible military dimensions."
The trip was also seen as an important precursor to a possible resumption of talks between Iran and the P5+1 powers, the United States, China, Russia, France, Britain and Germany, which broke down in Turkey 13 months ago.
A watershed report from the IAEA in November said that Iran had carried out activities in a number of areas "relevant to producing" a nuclear weapon.
The report said that its information suggested that Iran tested in "a large … containment vessel" at Parchin high explosives in experiments thought to be relevant to designing a ballistic missile payload.
Since the report's publication, the United States and the European Union have ramped up sanctions on Iran's oil sector, and speculation has grown that Iran's arch rival Israel might launch air strikes, possibly even this year.
Iran has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, has announced the halt of oil sales to Britain and France — sending the price of oil soaring — and has defiantly trumpeted advances in its nuclear programme.
Iran, whose economy has been hit hard by the recent ramping up of sanctions, denies wanting nuclear weapons, insisting its programme, including the enrichment of uranium, is for producing energy and treating cancer patients.
The UN Security Council has imposed four rounds of sanctions on Iran because of Tehran's repeated failure to declare nuclear sites and materials to the IAEA, calling on it to suspend uranium enrichment.
The IAEA delegation's findings are likely to be included in a report by Amano expected to be circulated to diplomats in Vienna later this week, which will be presented to the IAEA's 35-nation board of governors on March 5.
The report will also be closely watched for what progress Iran is making fitting out its new enrichment facility inside a mountain bunker at Fordo, amid speculation it is preparing to install thousands of new centrifuges there.
The IAEA said in January Iran had begun to enrich uranium to 20 percent at the site, taking it significantly closer to the 90-percent purity uranium needed to go into a nuclear bomb.
Fordo working at full speed with advanced technology would in theory slash the time needed for Iran to enrich its current stockpile of 3.5-percent uranium to weapons grade.

Pages and Permalinks problem
Hi all,
I'm near to completing my wordpress website and I'm changing the permalinks to a custom structure. I'm first doing this on a local copy of the site and I have an Xampp set-up. I know that in order to make Xampp work with permalinks you first have to do the following:
1. Remove the hash from the link #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so in the httpd.conf file
2. Change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All in the same file
When I then change to a custom permalink structure the blog posts work absolutely fine. However, the static pages do a curious thing; from the home page I can click on any static page (e.g. faqs, contact us, etc) and the permalink works fine. However, when I then attempt to click away from the static page, every link has the current page's name inserted in the URL.
For example if I click on "contact us" from the home page the first link will be as follows: http://www.example.com/contact-us. This is correct. Then from the "contact us" page if I go to click on "FAQs" the faqs link will look as follows: http://www.example.com/contact-us/faqs. This is obviously incorrect.
Sorry for the long message, but it's a tricky one to explain. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Afternoon tea with Jezza
Afternoon tea with Jezza
My bet is it's his own car. He loved the coupe and said the only thing stopping him from getting one was the gullwing doors
Does anyone know the brand of jacket he is wearing?
That one looks like something i've been looking for.
God, I love that car!
I'll just take advantage of this thread to report on a quick sighting at the Isle of Sheppey:
http://www.kentonline.co.uk/kentonli...on_island.aspxCrews from the 2012 film The Sweeney have been in Whiteway Road, Queenborough, all day.
But the Top Gear presenter was also on the Isle of Sheppey – shooting cars at the same time on the same day!
It's thought the film crews were working separately – both making a beeline for the island for different shoots.
Jeremy Clarkson, who had been filming nearby, turned up later in a silver Range Rover to speak with the crews.
The Sweeney?
The Sweeney as in..."You're fuckin' nicked, my son..." ? That Sweeney?
Interceptors - your time has come...
I don't think so.
A quick pic on location:
Can anyone (sort of) recognize those cars in the background? They may or may not be part of the TG shoot, of course.

When we met some 22 years ago at a fancy black tie fundraiser at the Disneyland Hotel, going into business together was absolutely not on our minds that evening. Now, here we are, 12 years into a blockbuster of an international business. People often ask us how we manage to keep our life partnership and business partnership together without killing each other in the process. Bob says patience, Jim says mutual respect, and we both say a lot of martinis.
Patience, mutual respect, and of course martinis, do help keep things going. But there needs to be a solid understanding of yourself and your partner before you even consider expanding from life partners to becoming business partners as well. Fortunately for us, we had a pretty good idea of what we were all about as individuals. We had been life partners for nearly 10 years before we crossed the great divide into a business life together. Over many, many conversations, we planned how a business together might work with our two strong personalities. Who would do what, who would be the "boss," how would we keep the professional from creeping into the personal? By the way, keeping the professional out of the personal when your business partner is your life partner is impossible. Remember that.
Before starting a business together, you and your partner should ask yourselves these three things:
1. What skills and talent does the business need to be successful?
The work of Dr. William Marston, a psychologist in the 1920s and 30s, who formulated his DISC measurement of behavioral characteristics and self-awareness, may have some answers to this question. It may sound like mouthful of analytic rhetoric, but DISC helps you understand your strengths and weaknesses, and the areas where you may contribute the most to the success of a potential business. A successful business needs people who bring some level of all the DISC characteristics and skills to the team, so carefully assess what your business needs. A short summary of the DISC types are:
D=Dominant. If you are a D, then you are the driver of the train. You are independent, persistent, and direct. You are the entrepreneur who has the vision, and you are going for it.
I=Influential. If you are an I, then you are persuasive, inspiring, and impressive. You are the salesman of the team, promoting the vision of the D. Your focus is on the future, not the present, and the people rather than the tasks.
S=Steady. O.K., S, you are the rudder of the ship. You keep the boat going in the right, consistent direction. D and I may zigzag all over the place, but you are the navigator, and you point the bow toward success.
C=Conscientious. You are the slow and critical thinker. C likes having rules and processes to follow, and you follow them perfectly. Sometimes too perfectly. It's ok to be a perfectionist, but remember this is a business, and there is nothing perfect about that.
2. What talent and skills do you each bring to the business (and business partnership)?
Take a look at DISC. Every business needs a combination of each letter. Too much D and not enough S or C and you will create fabulous new ideas that will never be executed on a sustainable basis. In a small start-up company, you may need to be the Jack or Jackie-of-all-trades, but very few people are really good at everything. Are you going to need help to fill in a DISC letter or two? In large companies, the DISC skills get staffed in departments like the Accounting, Sales and Operations.
Can you tell what behavioral type you are? Keep in mind that your role in a life partnership may or may not be the same as your business role. Like a lot of people, we are an interesting combo. We knew going into our business partnership that Jim is a combo of D and I. Bob is a definite S and C, with a little D and I thrown in for good measure. Knowing this about ourselves, we had a head start in answering question number three.
3. Do the business needs identified in #1 match the skills identified in #2?
We were able to determine that we had the right combination of traits, desires, commitment and temperament to move forward into a business partnership. Jim was good at being the front man. Bob was excellent at being the behind-the-scenes guy. Jim had the connections in the hotel business and the drive to go out and pitch our product. Bob had the desire to set up a smooth, efficient, and profitable business operation.
Now that you have an analytic tool to help look at yourself and your life partner, do you think you have a business match? Perhaps you should ask yourself this question: "If you had the budget to hire someone for the role to be played by your life partner, would you consider 'hiring' your life partner? If the answer is mostly yes, then you may be a match made in business heaven, so go for it.
Of special note—one behavioral characteristic that is important and may supersede all others is Trust. As life partners, you trust each other on a very personal level, and that can be a strength that makes up all the difference when there is a less-than-perfect match between the skills needed and the needs of business.
Next time, we'll talk about what happens after you "go for it." How do you keep your life partnership strong when your life partner is your business partner? Hint: "it ain't easy."
JIM BURBA AND BOB HAYES Jim Burba and Bob Hayes have been partners in life and livelihood for more than 20 years.

Since I have update the version in Corona, when I open the site in Internet Explorer – http://www.digitaldiscovery.com.pt it appears a huge space in the top of the website with nothing on it.
What I did wrong? :P
I think a plugin or custom script causes this issue. Please remove or try to deactivate them.
Hi Pete,
I tryed to deactive all the plugins and it is still a mess. I really need help! :P
Actually I think is a custom script that i added before the updates for Corona. The problem is I dont have a clue where did I put it :P
Help Peter! lol
Tks in advance as always,
Hi Bono,
I took a look at the site but unfortunately with so many plugins active and adding things in I'm not really sure what is responsible for the error in IE. If you can disable them all and leave them off for a while we can try and take a look then.
Hi Devin
70% of the plugins are now unactive. Can you check now? :)
Oh btw if you guys need the username and password to enter let me know your email so I can send it to you :)
Help!!!:) 90% of the plugin are now turn off :))
Devin? Peter?
I know Im being a pain in the arse but half of my customers enter trow Internet Explorer. We also are waiting to fix this so we can launch our Google Adwords campain. We really need help here, as we dont have any programer with us.
Yep, I will post once a day until someone listen to me :)
Hi Bonovox,
Looking at the site right now, I don't see the original issue. If I remember right, it was related to a plugin using google+ so I'm guessing turning that off was the fix.
If it was, and you've identified the offending plugin, I'd be interested to know exactly which one it was.

I have lived in Sweden many years and have paid lots of tax in the UK as well. Can i go to a dentist in the UK having an NH number etc as i can get my teeth done for £200 there, but over here it´s 10,000 kronor. There are rules but any tips to go around it.?

Interpidfox I am amazed that you think just because you pay NIC you are entitled to access the NHS. Access to the NHS is through residency not payment, that is what a lot of ex-pats forget.

I'm not sure this is correct. I was in London on a business conference when a crown came off. I looked up a local dentist on Google and went that afternoon. Their response was it would cost me GBP 250 to go private, or if I could come back the next afternoon they could do it on the NHS for GBP 70.
Naturally, I deferred it until the next day. No checks were ever done, I used my old address in the UK. For all they know, I could have walked off a banana boat that morning.
It's there to abuse as a foreigner.

That is what i was thinking. I have my NI number and an address at my parents. I would save 8000:-.

As a couple, we will be spending 10 days in Japan arriving early morning into Narita and leaving on Day 10 from Kansai at noon. Seek your kind guidance on our itinerary as we will be carrying to large luggages.
We will stay at the New Miyako Hotel.
On Hyperdia, the route was Kyoto Kintetsu Ltd Exp-transfer Yamatoyagi Kintetsu Ltd Exp-Osaka Namba. Could you please advise if this is appropriate and please advise alternatives where possible?
Thank you very much
Hi there!
1.) With a ton of luggage taking the Narita Express between Shinjuku and Tokyo is maybe the best option but very pricy too if you don't use a JR Pass. Instead I would recommand using the Yamanote line departing ever 3-5 minutes from Shinjuku bound for Shinagawa and board the Shinkansen there. This is probably the fastest way too!
2.) Going from Kyoto to (jr)Namba, you have a couple of options. First take the Shinkaisoku to Osaka station, this is the quickest way to get from Kyoto to Osaka and takes 29minutes. From Osaka you can take the Midosuji Line Subway line directly to Namba or if you have a JR Pass travel to Shinimamiya and from there to JR Namba.
JR Namba is the JR Station for Namba, the subway station and nankai namba station are all closely located and all serve the Namba area.
I hope this helps!

Photographer's Note
Western ghats are the row of mountains at the southwest of India. Its south end separates the states Kerala and Tmail Nadu. This south portion is almost continuous and have thick green beautiful forest.
The very famous Ootty, Kodiakanal, Thekkadi, Silent Valley, Parambikulam national park, Munnar, Chinnar, Kuttalam, Thirunelli, Valpara etc etc all are in these range.
There are only a few notches through which the roads connecting two southmost states. Palghat pass is the widest one and NH47 and railway goes through this. Almost all the other ways are through thicky hill forest and tourists can fulfill their minds with great pleasure. I like very much the travel through this mountaineous roads.
One beautiful and amazing route is `Chalakkudi' - `Pollachi'. Chalakkudi is in Kerala and Pollachi in Tamil Nadu. You can see big group of wild elephants while passing through here. The famous `Athirappalli' waterfall, `Vazhachal', Sholayar dam, Malakkappara Tea estates, Valpara, Aliyar Dam etc are sonses of this path.
A few weeks ago I had a travel through this road and I camped at `Valpara' for a day. I consider the Valpara as Munnar of TamilNadu. I know that Valpara is as beatiful as Munnar of Kerala. But the tourists are not coming much because of the lack of exposure and inconvenience in transportation.)

This is not a religious book.
There are many paths to spirituality – Infinite Intelligence, All That Is, Organized Religion or Atheism that are all valid.
We all try to be good and compassionate people whatever our backgrounds or who we have become as we grow -.
– as long as we are not hurting anyone else and doing our best to be kind and compassionate – including to ourselves.
We are usually the last on the list.
When I had a national cable TV show on Wisdom Television, I interviewed self help and self improvement authors. More than 400 of them. Many of them regarded as famous gurus.
One of my challenges was I soon realized they were all saying the same thing in a different way. My job was to read their books and find that different "nugget" I could build an interview around.
Sometime, I had to really dig to find it.
The chapters in this book tend toward that goal. You may find a nugget that helps you in your journey towards how to build a happier and more fulfilling life.
Take what is good and resonates with you and leave the rest.
I stole most of the ideas from those authors anyway. I can't give them individual credit, except a few quotes here and there, because they all run together.
But they make up what I believe today. So thanks to all of them for contributing to my overall education.
My intention is that you find one A-HAH moment within this book you can use.
You may have done a lot of work in forgiveness. You are almost done.
But there is one person left.
The one who has hurt you the most. No matter what you do, you can't forgive the harm.
We all have that one. We are not saints. And yet, we know our lack of forgiveness is hurting us. Not the person. They may already be long gone from your life or even dead.
There are two steps before forgiveness that are the only way I have found to give relief.
No, it is not letting them off the hook.
The first is UNDERSTANDING.
Hard as it is to accept, most offenders are trying to make themselves feel better.
I heard someone say that even Jeffrey Dahmer killed all those boys (and ate them) because at some deep sick level, he thought it would make him feel better. Obviously, it didn't because he kept it up.
His pitiful apology to the parents at his trial told the world how sorry he was. It was too late but it indicated that his compulsion was out of his control.
The person who injured you so badly, may not be out to hurt you then. There may have been some terrible pain within them that they were trying to get rid of and you happened to be there.
You were the target.
So, all the shame and resentment you have suffered all those years has nothing to do with you.
It had to do with someone else's pain.
Perhaps that person was mentally ill. Or, a drunk. Or desperate because he was unemployed. You know the person. What was the situation at that time? He was certainly not in his right mind. Perhaps, not for a long time. Maybe a lifetime.
If you were passing a mental hospital and a patient was screaming obscenities at you out of a window, would you take it personally? It might upset you, but does it have any basis in reality?
I am also not forgetting that there are some people who are evil – born mean.
That is no reflection on you.
The injury you suffered had nothing to do with your reality. And yet, secretly, those of us who have not been able to forgive continually ask the question,
"What did I do wrong to provoke this? I must have been bad."
This is particularly true of women who have been sexually abused. Especially, if the abuse came from a family member.
We ask ourselves, over and over through the years, "If someone that important did this to me, I must have provoked it, in some way deserved it."
You didn't. In most cases, you were too young to even understand what was going on. You were innocent. It was not your fault.
Sometimes, the offense was someone you trusted cheating you.
Try to understand it. Were they so lacking in money or self esteem? Were they just greedy?
Again, you know them. Why would they do it? Look at them as though you were not involved. Step away. Pretend it happened to someone else. Why did they do it? Be an outside psychologist.
In all cases, it comes down to the basic answer. Whoever hurt you did it to make themselves feel better in some way. They probably did the same to others you don't know. But, that is not your problem.
If you are truly aware of the motivation of the person who hurt you, you put a different spin on it for yourself. It separates you from the action.
It does not excuse them. What they did was wrong. They have to live with it, not you.
You are no longer entwined in what happened. They stand alone – individuals by themselves. With their own problem and motivation.
You had nothing to do with it. That person is a stranger who happened into your life. Not much different than someone you read about in the paper.
You were a drive by shooting. Very sad but no one you know.
You now don't have to forgive someone you hardly know and barely remember.
It is time to let it go and move on. If you can't – so be it.
Forgive yourself for not forgiving.
Your work is done when you stop giving that person and their cruelty free rent and energy in your head.
Would you like to read the rest of the book? I hope so.
Special thanks to Evan for his review of the whole book on his site,

To much of my surprise when I go to official Microsoft Preview site, it only gives me links to explore Office 365 version. There is also no mention of MSI. Finally when I searched few websites, I found the link to download the bits and successfully download Office 2013.
The link is https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/pd/Office2013Preview/enus/ ---- THIS IS BROKEN. NO MORE WORKING.
You will need to login with your Live/Hotmail or Outlook.com ID to obtain the download. Happy Experimenting!

It seems Microsoft has changed the way Office 2013 is going to be distributed to users. Here are the steps to get Office 2013 installed on your machine:
1. Go to http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/en
2. Click on Try
3. Select appropriate category from "For Home", "For Small Business" or "For Enterprise". I selected for small business for myself. I wanted to try out the enterprise features as well so I created one more account later (:)
4. Once you complete the account registration process and log in to your account at (https://portal.microsoftonline.com/), you will see the dashboard similar to the image below:
5. Click on the Download Software Link
6. On the next screen you will see the language and version selection as displayed below:

IRVING, Texas – After a third-round 3-over 73 that left him 10 shots off the Byron Nelson Championship lead, Jordan Spieth knows exactly what his goal is for Sunday.
"Fifty-nine," he said with a smile.
The truth is, even that probably wouldn't be enough to win.
Following last week's T-4 result, Spieth finds himself out of contention at his hometown event.
Full-field scores from the HP Byron Nelson Championship

"Very disappointed," he said after a round that included three birdies, four bogeys and a double. "It's tough to swallow today's round. We had good conditions and I was confident going in and had a good warm-up session this morning so just have to sit back and work on a few things. I don't need to think too much about it, just come out tomorrow and trying and low early and hopefully the wind picks up."

Choose any of the following:
To make any of the above you can use
The easiest way I find to do this with a family is put everything in separate dishes on the table and everyone has their wrap/taco/burrito/pita bread and fills it with what they like.
Otherwise you can make ready prepared wraps for the whole family. Follow the instructions on the bag for how to fold the burritos.
Cover ingredients with sauce of your choice ? sweet chilli, yoghurt, yoghurt & mint, sate, tomato sauce, mayonnaise, etc is delicious.
You can also use the ?Old El Paso? ready meals for example which are a quick and easy starting meal.
?Wraps of the World? are delicious

I offer encouragement and our experience in Pensacola to Jim Pallas and the citizens in Athens in their concerns over a civic center hotel complex.
History was made in Pensacola Jan. 21 when citizens started the process to take back their local government. This situation is unparalleled in our city.
In 60 days, Citizens Against Trillium, a grass roots movement, collected the signatures of almost 25 percent of the city's voters on a petition to force the Pensacola City Council to rescind an action it took in November 2002.
The 8,500 signatures may not seem like a lot until one considers:
We are an unpaid group of amateurs.
We had little political experience.
We had very limited funding.
We have no office location, telephone or permanent presence.
We received limited media exposure.
We conducted the effort through cold weather and the holiday season.
We faced a concerted attempt by the City Hall, its supporters and the local daily press to discredit our effort.
The magnitude of our efforts is huge. We believe City Hall will now start to listen to the voices of those it is paid to serve. Citizens everywhere may now be encouraged to become involved and challenge local governments.
We are the average Janes and Joes of the world who believe government has not been responsive to their voices. We are taking back our local government one signature at a time.

Recent Work
This is a piece I did last week for the Atlantic. Article on how GDP is not an accurate indicator of a countries well being as there are many factors that go into a happy prosperous country. Melissa Bluey and I chatted about ideas and it turns out we were both thinking in the same direction, to show production but something amiss, crumbling factory, something like that. Since we had agreed on the general direction I just did two roughs on the same concept.
I've gotten more than a few calls over the years asking for a Rube Goldberg type of contraption. I was always aware of his work, the name pretty much being a part of the American vocabulary to describe something ridiculously complicated, circuitous, or convoluted, I played mousetrap as a kid. Did it ever really work? The most recent request was from Josue Evilla at the Boston Globe Magazine. Josue was great to work with, I expressed how I couldn't do a true Rube Goldberg where there is a very well thought out sequence of events with a definite result, but I could certainly do something with that feel. The story was on political corruption in Boston and what Josue really wanted to show was a politician receiving bribes from contractors, many bribes, that kind of thing, a composition with lots going on.

This was a piece I did for Larry Williams at Pace Communications, they're the design house that does the beautiful United Airlines Mag and many others. This was to be an illustration for one of their magazines on Real Estate showing some do's and dont's of buying. I sometimes enjoy these info type illustrations if the art directors are willing to make them a bit more than that. I've been doing technical type illustrations for This Old House and others, sometimes fun, sometimes a headache. This was fun and I enjoyed doing this very dead on cross section approach.
