Companies are forever digging ways and means to retain their old employees for cost utilization and value addition.
Employees are the spokes that churn the wheels of a business for its smooth running and growth. Lately, we are witnessing a rush of advancements, be it in business practice or technology. The fast changing scenario needs to be matched with corresponding skills and expertise for which employers spend a lot of time and money to prepare the employees for future so that they can take the reins of the business confidently. But what happens when the same are lured by better opportunities and they leave the company, dissipating all efforts? The cycle starts again, of hiring, training and absorption and yet again when the employees realise that they have learnt enough, they start flapping their wings for a new flight.
Obviously, management wouldn't like to lose the very goose they trained to lay golden eggs and would engage their last tooth in trying to hold them back. And as an extra effort, even plan a series of interviews with HR just to make sure he has a genuine reason to resign and that no amount of cajoling will keep him back.
That time in clock, when an employee bids goodbye is very sensitive and emotional and employers try until the last minute to change his mind, which in most cases, he doesn't. Here, a series of reasons can be assigned to his displeasure: His grievances were not heard, he was not given a raise for a long time, he received unfair treatment etc.
It is a know fact that there is a cost utilisation gain through experienced employees and as such employers wish they could retain them for a long time because an employee, who has worked on a process for a long time gains experience, hence, is able to provide value addition.
But how do you know, what is going on in each employees mind, who are high performers and whose loss would weigh heavy to the company etc. To ensure the above, a company's tracking system has to be in place so that you can;
Replacement cost often amount to 2.5 times the salary of the individual you are replacing. Therefore, it is equally important to measure retention cost along with attrition. This can be done by creating a tracking system for retention age for different categories of employees like 0-3 months, 3-6 months etc and then finding reasons for different age(tenure) and their solutions to take actions. Attrition cost is another area of concern.
Another way to save on cost is to recruit interns atleast by 40 per cent as directly hired from campus they save on spiraling cost. This way the cost of training is also borne by them while on probation. By studying trends of such recruits (direct from campus), you will know how long they generally stay in the first company. And according to that allocate the CTC. This way, you will not go wrong and use their aggression till the time you want or till it is time for another campus round. They contribute immensely by way of youthful energy, freshness, attitude, fast learning aptitude and friendliness.
Also, by tracking the proportion of internal promotions to external hires at every level with the aim to advertise all available positions internally before going that extra mile in search of external talents will ensure fairness to employees.
Every business has a system to control the number of employees that can report into the next level and this is called the span of control. Also track the tenure of reporting relationship. Through tracking of management cadre to see growth of each individual.
An early detection system to keep track of the retention age among employees' shows up employees that are likely to leave the organisation due to pre decided factors. Now a days, bonus, loyalty bonus, appreciation, promotion are only a few ways to keep the employee hooked to your company. Find out practices followed by other companies where the employees are always beaming with happiness and inculcate that in your environment.
Spot the high performers who constantly make things cheaper, better and different. If a company addresses the needs of high performers and high potentials, the better it is for it.
Mohammad Javed from the famous Khan Chacha Restaurant, Delhi, shares, " It is of utmost important to treat your employees fairly and this is possible only when we are appreciating them from time to time. Also, we must listen to their grievances and try to solve them. As such, we do not try to demoralise the leaving employee but we do try to negotiate to change their minds. Many a times, our employees have rejoined because they do not get the same comforts and satisfaction elsewhere because we ensure that they are looked after properly. For their security, we have PF and ESI and other facilities like any other company. ".
As we see from the above, that in most cases, money is the most important reason for a job switch, at the same time, we have also seen why and where the management can go wrong? And I have also tried to offer some useful solution to the employers so that they could identify the wheat from the chaff and value them so that they do not get carried away by the promise of better opportunities somewhere else.

Dr. Coburn Votes to Restore Authority of Congress Regarding Free Speech and the Flag
June 27, 2006
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - U.S. Senator Tom Coburn, M.D. (R-OK) released the following statement today regarding his vote in support of the "Flag Protection Amendment," S.J. Res. 12.
"This debate is not merely about protecting the American flag; it is about preserving the system of government our flag represents. Congress passed this measure to help restore the balance of power between the courts and the legislature. The people's elected representatives, not unelected activist judges, should be entrusted to regulate the treatment of our flag," Dr. Coburn said.
In 1989 the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the laws of 48 states and the District of Columbia which regulated physical misuse of the American flag by ruling in Texas v. Johnson that the First Amendment guarantee of expressive speech protected an individual's right to burn the American flag.
"The First Amendment protects speech, not behavior," Dr. Coburn said. "Desecrating the American flag is an action that demeans the thousands of Americans who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our nation. American citizens and their elected representatives have every right to restrict that behavior."

Sports Correspondent, bdnews24.com
Published: 2017-03-13 22:12:41 BdST
He was completely taken by surprise when he received the news at a press conference on Monday evening.
Mahmudullah has been going through a lean phase, particularly in Tests, and according to team manager Khaled Mahmud, he would be sent back home after being dropped from the second Test.
Leaving Mahmudullah out of the Colombo Test may be justified for his poor form, but the decision to keep him out of the limited-overs games rocked the cricket arena of the country.
BCB chief, however, said there was no way he could be sent back.
"I have heard no such news. As he is not in the next Test if he wants to come to the country now... he can go back with Mashrafe [Bin Mortaza] and the other, that is a different matter," Hassan said.
"I don't know this... but sending him back is out of the question. The one-day games are coming; he is supposed to be in them. I would know if there was a change of plans."
Mahmudullah has been named in the 16-men squad announced by the board later in the evening.
Bangladesh Cricket Board Ismail Haider Mallick then told Hassan that Mahmudullah himself wanted to come back home for three-four days.
The chief then said, "I don't know. If he wants to come, that's a separate matter. There is a break of several days [after the Tests], so if he wants to come back and then go again, that's different. But I did not hear anything about sending him back."
"They spoke about this in Sri Lanka? I really can't tell why Sujon [Mahmud] said this before talking to someone. We need to know if it was Riyad [Mahmudullah] who wanted this or it was [team management].
"Because they are not supposed to tell a player to leave before discussing it over with me," Hassan added.
In the last Bangladesh Premier League, the 31-year-old allrounder won the best player award for his fine allround show. But the slump began late in December last year on Bangladesh's tour of New Zealand.
His ODI scores against the Black Caps were 0, 1 and 3. He hit a half-century in the opening Twenty20 there but followed it up with 19 and 18.
He has been going through an extended rough patch in Tests, scoring a half-century only once, against India in Hyderabad last month, in his last 13 innings.
Mahmudullah had scores of just 8 and 0 to show for his efforts in the first Test against Sri Lanka as Bangladesh suffered a huge 159-run defeat in Galle to be left trailing in the two-Test series.
The ODI series begin on Mar 25 in Dambulla.

Posted by Deadbeat on 12th Jun 2013
Even though the jacket I purchased is different from what is advertised, it is still a beautiful jacket. The brand that celebswear sells is the Petorucci brand. The only difference that I see is that the diamond pattern isn't symmetric and the scorpion on the back is is just a tad bit fatter and brighter. And the zipper is on the left side (when wearing it) for some reason.
With all of that being said, I DO love the jacket. It feels very durable while being very light. I own several other jackets in various styles, but this one is by far the best looking.
Shipping was awesome. Ordered it on 5/24 and it got to my door on 5/28. Im located in Northern California.
I'll say this; the jacket is easily 5 star-worthy. But that fact that they don't have an accurate picture of what the product looks like brings it down a star for me. Still, it's a great looking jacket. 4/5

A friend of mine has one in Ivory and I really like. I'm thinking of picking up one of my own and want to go with black. My only gripe is that the Black Jacket doesn't have the yellow scorpion emblem. I think it would make it more recognizable as something from Drive and would just make the jacket pop.
Posted by Unknown on 22nd Jan 2013
amazing jacket. love the movie.
Posted by Agrican Douffet on 21st Jun 2012
As I had already bought drive scorpion jacket from your store in Ivory color, having seen the same jacket in black color I felt direly famished for this one as well. Impeccable quality like ever! My wardrobe is full with your merchandise Celebs! You guys are doing just fine enough!
Posted by Benjamin Le Grand on 21st Jun 2012
My zodiac sign is scorpio so I am love every product with a scorpio. I am buy this black scorpio jacket and I like it very much. It is very comfortable to wear and its size is great. When I wear this jacket, people look at me as if they are completely rapt of my jacket. Thank you guys for this very stylish jacket.

Distance: 371km
Approximate Driving Time: 5 hours 5 minutes
Lake Taupo
It may have been a cold and stormy winter's night but we were toasty warm throughout. After a superb night's rest at the Comfort Inn Cascades, we woke on the final day of our road trip to news that our route home, the notorious Desert Road, was currently closed due to snow and ice. But with bright, clear skies we figured it would open by the time we were due to head south. Plus, the kids were excited by the prospect of some snow to play in! OK, I say kids but really it was this snow-mad mum trying to spread the enthusiasm for the bitterly cold day. We packed up and after the kids said goodbye to the friendly resident cat that had greeted us the night before, we took a wander down to the lake to breathe in the fresh air before setting off.
Huka Prawn Park
We headed out to the Huka Prawn Park, just a few minutes drive north of Taupo at the Wairakei Tourist Park (SH1).
Beside the steaming Wairakei power station we found the curious attraction that is Huka Prawn Park. The introductory tour is well worth taking before you explore the park. We learnt about the breeding of the prawns, got to handfeed the babies (very tickly) and learnt the top tips for successful fishing. Before we fished we took the loop track through a variety of challenges and hands-on activities testing strength, balance and speed. The gauntlet requires perfect timing to avoid getting wet. Lee took it on and save for a split-second near miss, got through unscathed but buzzing! We fed the rainbow trout and took a short bush walk whilst spotting signs of the park's mascot, Shaun the Prawn, before seeing the Huka Jet on the mighty Waikato River.
We picked up our rods, bait and buckets and found a sunny spot to fish. There are so many prawns that they start grabbing the bait almost immediately. Getting them out of the water is not quite as easy but even these fishing novices managed to pull three small prawns and one good-sized prawn onto dry land. Starting to feel the cold from the chilly wind we took up position on heated seats to carry on fishing. Great for warming cold hands and cold derrieres too! We had the option to have our prawns cooked at the park but we chose to have them put on ice to bring home – we've got a great prawn toast recipe waiting for them.
Huka Prawn Park: Clockwise from top left – Shaun the Prawn (the park's mascot), family photo fun, catching prawns, the beautiful Waikato River, prawn fishing ponds, feeding the rainbow trout and handfeeding baby prawns!
Leaving Huka Prawn Park we started our journey south, towards home. The road around Lake Taupo is winding but spectacularly scenic. There's lots of picnic spots to pull off the road and enjoy the beauty of the lake.
Desert Road
By now the road was clear and we could make our way from Turangi at the southern end of Lake Taupo through to Waiouru. The volcanoes in the Tongariro National Park were resplendent in pure white with a stunning blue sky background. We found a suitable spot to pull over and brave the biting cold for some fun in the snow. As much as I love the snow, I admit to retreating to the car once I couldn't feel my hands anymore! The kids had a snowball fight (which involved pelting each other and then the car) and scraped together enough snow for a hastily made snowman.
Left to right – Desert Road, Mt Ruapehu, Snowball fight, Frosting fingers
Home and thanks!
We got back in the car and defrosted as we drove through Taihape and onward to Mangaweka. Keep an eye out for the DC-3 plane – you can go inside and view the history of the famous landmark. A photo with the huntaway statue in Hunterville is also a favourite with the kids. We were treated to a seemingly neverending sunset as we passed through Foxton and Levin – not that the kids saw it as they were pushing out zzz's after a hectic but awesome five days.
We packed so much in to those five days and even as a seasoned troad trip family, we were astounded by the quality of the fun and interesting activities that we visited. Our family as a whole wishes to thank Choice Hotels for giving us the opportunity to undertake this road trip and experience our beautiful country. Choice Hotels operate 35 hotels across New Zealand, with in excess of 1500 rooms, under the Econo Lodge, Comfort, Quality and Clarion hotel brands. We can highly recommend them for your next family getaway!

Windows 7: Need an XP activation expert!

Need an XP activation expert!
My friend wants to reinstall XP Pro on his older Dell Latitude C640 laptop. The laptop has Win2000 COA stickered to the bottom. We read the existing XP Pro Product ID and Key using Magic Jellybean and it appears to be retail key (no OEM in ID string). However I don't know if it is full retail or upgrade version key.
I have an XP Pro retail installer. My question is: If we attempt to install, will accepting key upfront mean that we have the correct version (full retail)? If it rejects key, will it tell us that it is instead an Upgrade version key (as Win7 will do). If we obtain an XP Pro upgrade installer, will inputting the Product key from the COA sticker, and then the XP Upgrade Product key be all that is needed - or do we need an original Win2000 CD?
My memories of these XP upgrade procedures are really hazy so if anyone can recall it would be great to know what to expect. Any tips also greatly appreciated!

An XP disk can be one of 2 types, Full or Upgrade. If you are using the upgrade version and you don't have a qualifying OS already installed, it will ask you to prove it by inserting a valid OS installation CD during the setup (directly after the license agreement). The actual key is entered towards the end of the setup routine. I am not sure whether or not there is a differentiation between Full and Upgrade keys with XP because of the different method of providing proof of a previous OS, i.e. already installed or a physical disk.

Thanks, Dwarf: He doesn't have the Win2000 disk, but we have the Product ID from the COA sticker on laptop.
Would a generic OEM Win2000 install CD work if it proves to be a retail Upgrade copy of XP Pro?
Does anyone know if XP Pro installer will tell us that we have an Upgrade key when we insert it using a full retail version?

gregrocker, in most cases the key code on the laptop or pc is for the OEM copy of the pre-installed OS. Usually a pre-installed OEM doesn't need the key code during reinstall. If the OEM disk is available that what be the way to go, however, it sounds as though you want to install XP which didn't come with this laptop. If this is the case you will need a key code that is generic to that copy of XP. Good luck and hope this helps.

Thanks, all!
So if XP Pro full retail rejects Product key we retrieved using Magic Jellybean, then it must be an XP Pro Upgrade version?
But if we don't have a Win2000 CD to insert as per theog's screenshot, can anything else be done to install using the Pro upgrade version installer?

Suffield, Connecticut has become a restaurant destination in the Tri-State. The fried fish and chicken are so right in the Constitution State.
Suffield, Connecticut is a relatively small town and admittedly, these delicious restaurants likely won't win many awards. And they won't get splashy profiles in glossy cooking magazines either. Food snobs may prefer to dine in some refined Boston, Brooklyn or Seattle restaurant. Blah Blah Blah.
Ok fine. This city only had good fast food options for too long. But the restaurant scene has grown up over the last decade or so! These places are the definition of scrumptious. You can never go wrong with a cheeseburger served up with fries or a salad. But there are also more advanced choices available.
The cooking gurus are total bosses behind the counter. Some of the hot spots below are proudly bourgeois while the rest cater to the proletariat.
The following fine eateries offer the choices you need to eat well and live like a king or queen in Suffield, Connecticut. Come get supper!

Traveling the States with Gage – Ohio
Gage goes to school Monday-Thursday and mornings are a time he usually is willing and wanting to learn a little, so I decided to start doing a little state work each three-day weekend. We, of course, started with Ohio.
I decided to use this new series I found at the library. We started by reading through the book and then I chose some things that were in there to do 5-10 minute activities over the three days. My goal is really just two activities for each of the three days and then two books, this one and one more picture book.
Here's what we did
1. Traced the state and marked the capital with a star and added some glitter glue. Also wrote the name on the state.
2. Used the book to figure out how to color the state flag, the buckeyes, and state flower a red carnation.
3. Colored a guitar for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and marked it with a guitar sticker on the map.
4. Made the cutest little cardinal (state bird) that I found on Pinterest.
5. VIDEO-watched a video of Neil Armstrong (Ohioan) landing on the moon.
6. Read the book The Giant of Seville.
Related activity-We marked everyone's height on the wall with a sticker and then used the tape measure to measure how high the giant was (he reached our ceiling!). This was a good estimating activity since my parents were here. We started by marking his height and then he had to guess who would be the next tallest each time.
Cutting, gluing.Tracing.Estimating and measuring.History!
This weekend we're working on Pennsylvania. If you have any books or fun activities to add for your state please me know! I am going to need new ideas 🙂
February's movies and $ for charity
Gage is on the mend, but still fighting a cough and sinus issues. I appreciate all of your comments and messages. It's been a long week. On to more fun things…
Now it's your turn. Add your 5 words (or less!) to mine and earn $1 for charity. Once we get to $100 the person with the most reviews will choose the charity. Click here to see the past winners, the charities they chose and the other reviews you can add to. Anyone is welcome to join in at any time.

The Giant of Seville by Dan Andreasen
32 pages, published 2007
Dan Andreasen
In the 1870s, a circus giant named Captain Martin Van Buren Bates left the circus and set off to find a town where he and his wife (also a circus giant) could live in peace. Captain Bates happened on Seville, Ohio, a sleepy little town that charmed him from the moment he arrived and welcomed him with open arms.
from Goodreads
This book is based on a true story set in a town not far from here. I met the author/illustrator at the Ohio Book Festival and while I was having him sign my book to Gage a few women came up and started talking about how their parents would tell them this story when they we young and even point out the giant's house as they drove by. They seemed to agree that the house was no longer standing today. If you are interested in the real giant you can read more on Wikipedia for details or teaching supports check here.
Martin grew to be 7″11′ and 525 pounds and his wife, from what I found, was even taller. When they decided to retire from the circus, Martin took the train (a big fave with Gage) to find a new home for the super-sized couple and he found a welcoming town in northern Ohio. I loved this story about the man who did not fit social norms but was accepted anyway. The illustrations and quality of the book are top-notch. Some of the language might be challenging for younger kids but I think that's a good thing. This is a great tall tale from a small town in my great state 🙂
So, this weekend I started doing some mini-lessons on the 50 States with Gage. Ohio was first so we focused on this book, but I'm looking for recommendations for my near future states (Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virgina). Let me know!

TLC Book Tour & GIVEAWAY! The Serpent of Venice by Christopher Moore
The Serpent of Venice.
TLC Book Tour here. I want to thank TLC for providing a book for the giveaway!
Venice, a really long time ago. Three prominent Venetians await their most loathsome and foul dinner guest, the erstwhile envoy from Britain who also happens to be a favorite of the Doge: the rascal-Fool, Pocket.
This trio of cunning plotters—the merchant, Antonio; the senator, Brabantio; and the naval officer, Iago—have lured Pocket to a dark dungeon, promising a spirited evening with a rare Amontillado sherry and a fetching young noblewoman. Their invitation is, of course, a ruse. The wine is drugged; the girl is nowhere in sight. These scoundrels have something far less amusing planned for the man who has consistently foiled their quest for power and wealth. But this Fool is no fool . . . and the story is only beginning.
Once again, Christopher Moore delivers a rousing literary satire and a cast Shakespeare himself would be proud of: Shylock; Iago; Othello; a dozen or so disposable villains; a cadre of comely wenches; the brilliant Fool; his sidekick, Drool; his monkey, Jeff; a lovesick sea serpent; and a ghost (there's always a bloody ghost).
Wickedly witty and outrageously inventive, The Serpent of Venice pays cheeky homage to the Bard and illuminates the absurdity of the human condition as only Christopher Moore can.
If you haven't tried a Christopher Moore novel then you haven't tried everything. My first Moore reading was Lamb:The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal and I was amazed at the quality of the story and storytelling. Irreverent is how I often describe it. And with this novel, I am back on board the Moore bandwagon. As I mention any chance I get, I love Venice. It was my first overseas trip and that amazing city will always have a place in my heart so when I saw that Moore was taking on Venice AND Shakespeare (another love of mine) I knew I'd have to read it.
The sheer amount of talent it took to connect some of Shakespeare's more recognizable characters from The Merchant of Venice, Othello and King Lear (with a little Edgar Allen Poe walled in) is impressive. Moore's sense of humor and wit is on prominent display in this over-the-top homage.
One of the main characters, Pocket, a favorite of the Doge who shows up first in Fool, grew on me as did this whole assembly of colorful characters. There was sex, murder, revenge, resurrection, a monster, Marco Polo, and love. Not bad for a few hours of delightful reading.
I don't think Moore's comic genius is for everyone. You have to be willing to buy into the crazy. And then you have to be able to tolerate, if not appreciate, quite a bit of juvenile boy language. If you can do those two things I think you are a candidate for the Christopher Moore bandwagon. Hop on in!
I HAVE A COPY TO GIVE AWAY! To celebrate the release of the paperback edition I will randomly select one lucky winner on February 28th. You'll want to enter even if you are on the fence about the story because the cover is gorgeous and fun and you'll want it on your shelves. Open internationally.
To enter just tell me you want entered in a comment and you're done. If you want an extra entry you can Tweet about it and/or post about it on your blog. Just let me know you did. Good luck!

The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle
The Hound of the Baskervilles. Finished 2-13-15, rating 4.25/5, mystery, 256 pages, pub.1902
Sherlock Holmes Book 5
Holmes and Watson are faced with their most terrifying case yet. The legend of the devil-beast that haunts the moors around the Baskerville families home warns the descendants of that ancient clan never to venture out in those dark hours when the power of evil is exalted. Now, the most recent Baskerville, Sir Charles, is dead and the footprints of a giant hound have been found near his body. Will the new heir meet the same fate?
from Goodreads
I found this 1971 copy that sold for 95 cents when published at a book sale last year, isn't it great? I love finding copies of classics that are in good shape but have obviously been read and enjoyed a few times. Sometimes it feels like I am sharing the experience with another reader. Surely, I am not the only one? I'd been wanting to read a Sherlock Holmes mystery for years and joining the Classics Club last month gave me the push to pick this one up.
I've seen the most recent movies with Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes and even watched the movie from 1976, the Seven-Per-Cent Solution with a cocaine addled Holmes, so I wasn't completely unprepared for the man on paper. He is arrogant and insufferable, but here's the thing, I have a thing for smart guys always have (even though he would most probably not return the favor), so I am willing to overlook a few character flaws for genius. It helps that he is so eccentric that he is always a fascinating study. Genius he is not, but it's his companion Dr. Watson that really holds the story together as he tells his account of what happened and no one would call Watson arrogant or insufferable. Watson is loyal, steadfast and also very smart. A perfect team.
The Hound of the Baskervilles is often mentioned so I am glad that I now have a frame of reference. The Hound is an evil dog that was called up by a long-lost Baskerville to forever haunt the moor and Baskerville family members. When Charles Baskerville dies without an heir, a sibling's descendent is called to take his rightful place in the spooky hall on the moor. Only someone has warned him to stay away. Holmes sends Watson and the games begin.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that I loved it. I would love to read all the Holmes book and maybe someday I will but for now I've requested the 1939 movie and I'm curious to see what they've done with it.
This was also in the Books to Die for analogy:The World's Greatest Mystery Writers on the World's Greatest Mystery Novels and was chosen by Carol O'Connell. My post on this book is here.
Any other Sherlock Holmes fans?

Me Before You by Jojo Moyes
Me Before You. Finished 2-4-15, fiction, 5/5 stars!, pub. 2012
Unabridged audio narrated by Susan Lyons, Andrew Wincott, Alex Tregear, Anna Bentinck, Steven Crossley, Owen Lindsay. 14.75 hours.
Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick.
What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane.
Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that.
What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And neither of them knows they're going to change the other for all time.
from Goodreads
Sometimes when there is a lot (and by that I mean too-many-to-count favorite lists since it was published) of hype surrounding a book I like to wait because I want my expectations to fade a bit. I read Jo Jo Moyes book, The Girl You Left Behind, and loved it so when I heard bloggers saying that they loved this one even more I knew I had to read it. I chose the audio because I'd heard it was good and it was. Susan Lyons became the loveable Lou Clark and carried the story beautifully. There were a small cast of other characters all with their own voices and it totally worked.
I almost feel like whatever I say has been said before and anything beyond that will spoil it for those three people who haven't read it. So maybe I'll just give 3 things I loved best and then ask 3 questions for those who have read it. Bottom Line-Loved it and it's sure to end up on my favorite list at the end of the year!
Loved-Lou's accessibility and charm. She had no great ambition and sometimes I wanted to give her a shake, but she was so real, fiery, and vulnerable.
Loved-The story focused around Will, a paralyzed man in his 30's, and it showed the abilities and hardships of someone who must rely on others for every personal need. It isn't a life without happiness, but is a life full of struggle.
Loved-The end. Sometimes what we fear is what moves us forward on a new path.
Questions for those who have read it…
How do you think the book handled the right to die debate?
Let's cast the movie! Who is Lou and who is Will?
Did you cry and how many times?
I'll answer when you do 🙂
Mailbox Monday – February 9
Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week.Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.
Gage received a thoughtful gift from Kay. A train postcard, two train books and an engineer cap. Thanks so much Kay – you're the best! (the hat does fit, but I only had time to throw it on his head before he was on the move again)
Last week I went to Barnes & Noble for some retail therapy. I bought lots of gifts and one for myself. Since I loved Garden Spells I am excited about this one.
First Frost by Sarah Addison Allen
It's October in Bascom, North Carolina, and autumn will not go quietly. As temperatures drop and leaves begin to turn, the Waverley women are made restless by the whims of their mischievous apple tree… and all the magic that swirls around it. But this year, first frost has much more in store.
What was in your mailbox this week?

Theresa Caputo, from TLC's hit show, Long Island Medium, will be appearing live at the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts on Sunday, April 2, 2017 at 7:30PM. Theresa will share personal stories about her life and explain how her gift works. She will deliver healing messages to audience members and give people comfort knowing that their loved ones who passed are still with them, just in a different way.

Review for Boch Collision
Christine M. on 12/13/2013
Christine said she felt this business was right on top of things, they kept her in the loop, and they did things as quickly and as readily as they could so she was very satisfied. The quality of the repair was beautiful. She used this business before and was satisfied, but the reason she chose them then and this time is that she is more comfortable with a dealer affiliation. The person she dealt with at Boch Collision Center, Bob Morton, really was terrific, very kind, and really good at his work.

Does the term "free homeschooling" sound like an oxymoron? When I first began homeschooling, one of my first questions was "So where do I get my school books?" When I realized that we were in fact responsible for same, I then asked, "OK, so who's gonna pay for the books?" After I got the answer to that one I stopped asking questions – I feared the "3 strikes" rule might apply…
So I started becoming a catalog junkie and was alternately depressed and in shock over the price of curriculum packages and "learning in a can." We began to think: "there's gotta be a better way…"
Google the term "free homeschooling" and you'll get a plethora of sites! While at times it may be necessary to go that route, keep in mind that the saying "you get what you pay for" may apply here as well.
You homeschool for many reasons, but no matter what they are, I know it's not to short-change your children for life!
In this excellent article from NextGen Homeschooling, Rosanna explains the difference between frugal and cheap. Keep in mind it's from the perspective of a small business owner, but then again, many homeschoolers themselves are small business owners and may appreciate that perspective.
I understand that it's so easy to cross the line into "being cheap." And I totally understand why: homeschoolers are frequently (often?)(always?) single-income households and we need to be good stewards of the limited income we have. But Barb Shelton (whose high-school resource Senior High: A Home-Designed Form+U+La is my constant companion when our kids go through high school) really delves into the difference in her book, and offers some valuable insight ~ it's a definite "must read" if you're looking at homeschooling through high school ;-)!
Ann Zeiss of A to Z Home's Cool also offers this excellent article on "Truly Free Homeschooling" where she discusses some serious considerations regarding "free" homeschooling (for example, a certain degree of privacy loss when using the internet…), and also offers some valuable resources to cut costs.You homeschool for many reasons...but NOT to short-change your children for life! Click To Tweet
So yes, it is possible to be frugal with your homeschooling. I know some moms who have taught whole families (and graduated 'em!) on library books only! But in my mind, it all boils down to (borrowing the words of Marilyn Howshall), adopting a lifestyle of learning. For example, my husband has many friends he's met through his membership in a low-cost car racing forum. From them we found a neat on-line tool to use with physics studies, learned of geocaching (which is a super, family-friendly little educational activity), and got some valuable website-building information. We've made educational opportunities out of:
- volunteer opportunities,
- travel,
- crafts projects,
- friends' businesses,
- building and repair projects around the home,
- Scouts,
- studies spawned from field trips or books read,
- family history and geneology studies,
- co-op classes and unit study groups.
On this site and many others, you may find little advertisements for "free" homeschooling curricula, programs, ideas, books or what-have-you.
Some of those resources may actually cost some money, but many of them will only cost you a certain amount of creativity. I find it to be somewhat of a trade-off in the long-run: what do I have more of right now – money or time? And even if it's time, sometimes due to lack of ideas, or burnout, or just too many irons in the fire, I may need to purchase something to "get us going" again.
My suggestion? Check out everything as carefully as you can before-hand!
I mean, what good is a free class when you can't get support with a problem? Or a free accredited curriculum that doesn't give you access to transcripts when you need them? Or a free program that closes its doors mid-year (probably because they were giving a little too much away!)?
Don't be wasteful with your budget, but do spend it wisely, and develop some creativity as well. Your kids are watching you 24/7 ~ and learning much more than the 3R's.
Teach them good stewardship and generosity, and let them see the value of investing in a good education!

She had a surprise for her rescuers, too.
When a sinkhole demolished a sidewalk inside a housing complex, city workers were called to come patch up the bricks to prevent any injuries, as the section was at the foot of a set of stairs. In doing so, however, they wound up putting several non-human lives in danger and refused to remedy their mistake.
Vadim Rustam and his family, who live in the complex in Voronezh, Russia, heard the barking as soon as the new bricks had been laid and asked that the housing authority do something to free the trapped dog. The housing authority refused, though it was the city workers they called in that caused the issue in the first place.
Whether the dog's entombment was an accident or an act of indifference, the fact that they denied any responsibility for freeing the dog afterwards is cruel in itself. When it became clear two days later that no officials would come to the aid of the dog, Rustam literally took matters into his own hands and started working on the bricks.
Using a hammer and his hands, he loosened several bricks at the base of the cement stairs and dug up sand that lay underneath. It only took him a few minutes to pry the bricks from the floor and remove a huge rock blocking a cavity underneath the stairs, which is where they had heard the barking for two straight days.
Right after he removed the large rock, a large female dog showed her head through the hole and her rescuers were relieved to see her still alive. With a few more handfuls of sand, the large dog was gently pulled from the cavity where she had remained for two straight days with no food or water in the dark while continuously exerting enough energy to bark.
Seeing this resilient dog live through this trauma wasn't the only surprise she had for her rescuers, however. After she was checked out by a local rescue group called "Right To Life," it was determined that she was pregnant. This explains why she remained so strong throughout her time under the stairs because she knew she had to do everything she could to keep her babies safe. Rustam?s wife explained,
"My husband removed one stone and saw the face of a dog. He started to slowly pull out the dog as she is pregnant. After rescuing the dog, we recovered the hole so there is no threat to people.?
Rustam and his family visited the dog, now named Belka, several days later and she was very happy to see them.
Watch the bold rescue below.

text: I thought I had never heard of this place, but now have a vague memory of a lunch there some years ago. If that was the place, my memory is that the food and ambience were dull, the food so mediocre, and it all made me feel depressed. Will likely be going there again (not by choice). Should I brace myself for an Olive Garden-esque esperience, or is it actually a decent and possibly good place to eat now? The menu on their website looks different from what I remember from years ago.

Our Vibration Control product offerings comprise various Mason Industry isolation materials that reduce mechanical equipment vibration and foot fall noise between floors. These offerings include isolation springs, mounts, and neoprene and rubber isolation pads. Rolls of recycled rubber floor underlayments are also used to reduce footfall noise.
Our Isolation pads are used to reduce vibration from equipment, thus reducing structure and airborne noise. A full sheet can be cut into pieces and placed under each corner of the equipment or under the equipment pad. The pads come in different thickness and grades depending on the weight of equipment.
Vibration Isolation Pad
Noise damping of metal is accomplished using pressure sensitive adhesive backed damping sheets or paint damping using a brush or sprayer, adhered to the surface of your metal. The thickness of your damping compound should be the same thickness as your metal, and have about 80% coverage of the metal's surface. Damping takes the ring out of metal like the ring out of a drum set cymbal.
Antivibe® DL-10 Metal Damping Compound
VibStop Vibration Damping Sheet
Mason Industries neoprene isolation mounts and hangers are used to isolate equipment operating at speeds above 1200 RPM. Isolation springs and hangers for equipment are used to isolate equipment noise above 500 RPM. Both are used to isolate equipment mounted of hung from rigid building structures.
The selection of the right mount requires the weight and weight distribution of the equipment, the number of mounting points for the equipment. and the RPM of the equipment. Call us to help you select the right mount for your application.
AlphaIsolation™ Cup Mount
Mason Industries Isolation Mount
Wall and ceiling Isolation from noise is what people refer to as soundproofing. It is accomplished by having enough mass (weight) in your wall and ceiling to block the amount of sound you need to block. The more noise you need to block, the more mass you need in the ceiling or wall. The more bass content in the sound you are trying to block, the more mass you need. There are hundreds of wall and ceiling assemblies that are used in construction.
Our job is to help you decide what material or added materials to your existing wall or ceiling assembly will best achieve your goal. We have mass loaded vinyl, isolation clips, ceiling isolation hangers, different floor underlayments and sealants to use in new and existing construction in order to help you achieve your soundproofing goals.

Tattoo removal cost can be calculated by first determining how many sessions are needed to remove a tattoo.
Kirby-Desai Scale was created by doctors to help doctors, laser technicians, and estheticians estimate the amount of laser tattoo removal sessions needed to remove a tattoo regardless of size, color, or shape.
By using this model at home, you will have an 80% accuracy determining the number of laser sessions it will take to remove your tattoo. The size of the tattoo also affects the tattoo removal cost, which will further discus later in this post.
When you determine the number of sessions and the size of the tattoo, you can ask tattoo removal service providers how much they charge per square inch for laser tattoo removal. Using this formula will give you an estimate of how much it will cost to remove a tattoo.
Using the Kirby-Desai Scale
We will use the Kirby-Desai Scale to determine the cost of laser tattoo removal. The scale consists of several factors and each will contain a chart with "Points in the Kirby-Desai Scale" in the right column. To determine the amount of sessions needed to remove your tattoo find the number value that best corresponds to you and your tattoo. Total your points to equal your estimated amount of sessions! Understanding the amount of tattoo removal treatments will help determine your laser tattoo removal cost.
Helpful Tip: Click to expand the pictures for easier reading.
1. Skin Type
Tattoo ink must penetrate the secondary layer of the skin call the the "dermis" to successfully become a permanent tattoo. Tattoo removal requires a laser to penetrate the same area while leaving the top skin layer without significant damage.
Laser tattoo removal can be effective on both light and dark colored skin types. Successful laser tattoo removal outcomes can be achieved on darker skin types although the rate of adverse effects, specifically hypopigmentation, is understandably higher.
The decreased effect of laser tattoo removal in patients with higher Fitzpatrick skin types occurs because the laser operators use lower laser settings and wait longer between treatment sessions to hopefully minimize unwanted side effects.
The lighter the skin the less tattoo removal sessions needed.
2. Location
The success of laser tattoo removal will depend where the tattoo is located on your body. The head and neck maintain the largest amount of blood and lymph nodes and have a large vascular supply. The likelihood of success is greater in these areas.
The upper and lower back also have the second largest amount blood vessels and lymphatic supply. Arms and legs have more lymphatic supply than the fingers and toes.
The Kirby-Desai scale adjusts depending on where the tattoo is located on your body.
Having a tattoo located on your upper body will will result in less tattoo removal sessions. This results to lower laser tattoo removal costs.
3. Colors
Tattoo artists use a variety of compounds to create tattoo pigment, with an inability to specifically identify the exact makeup of the ink. As such, professional and amateur tattoos differ in their physical and chemical composition of ink. Amateur tattoos tend to use carbon particles compiled from cigarette ash, pencil particles, graphite, or inks, such as India ink. Professional artists use organic dyes mixed with metallic elements and pigments to achieve a desired color.
Colors most often used by tattoo artists are black, red, blue, green, yellow, and orange. Black pigment granules in tattoos vary in size and are typically composed of carbon- and iron-containing granules. Colors other than black have been noted to be up to twice the size of the black pigment.
These differences in pigment size and composition lead to the difference in amount of treatments needed for tattoo removal. More treatments means increased laser tattoo removal costs.
Black pigments are the easiest to remove due to their relative small size, lack of metallic elements, and ability to absorb every wavelength of light. Red pigments are also considered easily removable in comparison to other colors, such as green and yellow based on their composition as well. Red pigments are known to contain a mixture of metallic and carbon elements with a smaller percentage of titanium dioxide, leading to its ease in removal. Other colors, such as green, yellow, and orange are more difficult to remove and warrant a higher amount of points on the Kirby-Desai scale, resulting in higher tattoo removal costs.
4. Amount of ink
The amount of ink within a tattoo is another factor that affects laser tattoo removal costs. The difference in the amount of ink depends on the type of tattoo the patient has—professional or amateur. Amateur tattoos are usually placed unevenly and tend to contain less ink than professional artists. Thus, amateur tattoos tend to respond quicker to laser treatment. Professional tattoos on the other hand tend to lie deeper in the skin and have a greater density of pigment.
In the Kirby-Desai scale, the amount of ink is divided into four categories: amateur (letters, words, or small symbols), minimal (one color, simple design), moderate (one color, complex design), and significant (multicolored, complex design), with each category receiving from 1 to 4 points, respectively.
The more the complex the tattoo, the more it will cost to remove a tattoo.
5. Scarring and tissue change
Tattoo placement can sometimes lead to complications. Tattoo placement may result in increased collagen deposition in the skin, with potential for scar formation.
Related: 16 ways to prevent tattoo removal scarring.
Scarring from tattoos is likely in patients with darker skin pigments. If you have scarring from a tattoo you will probably require more laser treatments, resulting in higher tattoo removal costs.
6. Cover-ups
Patients sometimes seek to "remove" an undesirable tattoo by layering or covering it up with another tattoo.
The new tattoo is usually larger than the tattoo it is replacing, incorporating and hiding the previous tattoo in new contours and colors. Since tattoo ink is translucent, layering or covering up a previous tattoo necessitates darker tones in the new tattoo to effectively hide the older one. Since the new layered tattoo is larger and darker, it will require more treatments for tattoo removal. As such, layering is given 2 points in the Kirby-Desai scale resulting in more sessions and increased tattoo removal costs.
Total your Kirby-Desai points and this cumulative number is an estimate of amount sessions are needed to remove your tattoo. The average tattoo removal is between 8-12 sessions. Your results may vary higher or lower.
7. Size
Determining the size is important in estimating the cost of tattoo removal.
Tattoo removal clinics usually charge by the square inch. This rate depends on a number of factors such as region where you live and the experience of the laser technician. For example a Board Certified Dermatologist in California will charge you more per square inch than a Certified Laser Specialist in Nebraska. The price per square inch is can be anywhere between $49 – $300+.
Measure the width and length of the tattoo (3 inches by 5 inches) and multiple them together to get the square inches (15 square inches).
Example: A tattoo that is 15 square inches that is estimated to have 8 sessions using the Kirby-Desai Scale could cost $5,880 assuming $49/square inch
The larger the tattoo the higher the tattoo removal cost.
8. Type of Laser
Q-Switched lasers are the most common laser for tattoo removal. The Kirby-Desai Scale was developed using a Q-Switched laser. There is a new laser in the market; PicoSure is a revolutionizing laser tattoo removal technology.
Related: Why PicoSure Laser is the Best Laser for Tattoo Removal
PicoSure laser tattoo removal sessions can be significantly more money, but they can remove tattoos quicker with less discomfort.
The type of laser used will have an impact on your tattoo removal cost.

- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
I have been working at Kingwood Medical Center full-time (More than a year)
I really like the people I work with. I schedule myself and my employer trys to give me the days off I want.
Very low pay, always work short handed, more work than a single person can possibly do in one day
Advice to Management
We need higher pay and a lower nurse to pt ratio
The staff members are nice. The benefits are good. There are a great deal of opportunities for advancement. There are added perks to working their like discounts on food, and holiday celebrations.
The supervisors do not have very much respect for their employees. They do not acknowledge when an employee is doing a good job.
Advice to Management
The leadership needs to be more caring towards their employees. They need to realize that we are all human. They need to understand that things happen sometimes in the lives of their employees that could impact them on the job and they should not be insensitive to their employees when it occurs. They should praise their employees for their accomplishments and help them to overcome their failures.
This is my first job after graduating. What i like best about this place is how busy it is. It has given me great oppurtunity to increase and improve my skills.
There are some eployees that i would not allow to put a hand on me. I feel as if i have to pick up slack for some of those i work with, and i feel leadership is oblivious to this. Management does not reward good work
Advice to Management
Pay more attention to what really goes on. monitor employee performance a little closer. hospital is not that big so this should be quite feasible

Armstrong laminate is one of several flooring products inside the Armstrong Flooring Merchandise portfolio. This software helps you visualize the vinyl flooring you need in a room related in type to your personal. Buyer providers (which is unattainable to get by way of telephone and who doesn't reply half of their emails) then provided some names of smaller flooring firms in a 60 mile radius (together with the one I'd already tried who didn't wish to try to order it) who they stated sold the flooring. Actually NONE of them stated they might get this simple line from Armstrong (and, of course, it cannot be ordered IMMEDIATELY from Armstrong). This year, I employed the identical franchise to install extra flooring, together with Armstrong vinyl.
Three months after installation (professional installer registered at Armstrong dealersip) about 30% of all planks cracked or developed chips. At contact on April three, 2007 Armstrong representative supervisor mentioned it is not their defects, they do not know something about wooden defects, and are not accountable. Armstrong advised on 12/14/05 installer confirmed that problem is just not producer's defect.
The installer, who was an authorized by Armstrong for laminate installation, immediately acknowledged the ground as a glue-together product that was defective. Installer believes gross sales representative who inspected the floor was not knowledgeable of the product and biased toward Armstrong's pursuits because she is affiliated with Armstrong. Let's start with this lovely Harmonics Skyline Maple laminate flooring by Quick Step.
We intention to offer readers with essentially the most up-to-date data obtainable about at this time's consumer services and products. Parent firm Armstrong World Industries began operations in 1891 and is headquartered in Pennsylvania. Merchandise: Stone, hardwood, laminate, luxurious vinyl and linoleum are among the many merchandise Armstrong Flooring gives. Samples: Samples can be found at participating retailers and for five do from the Armstrong web site. Levels of retail companions: Armstrong Flooring showrooms throughout the United States show the widest variety of Armstrong merchandise.
Selecting a laminate floor requires you to think about a broad range of brands with a good wider area of kinds and particular person products. What Armstrong laminate brings to the desk is a complete lineup of types, colours and patterns within a number of product tiers. Armstrong's laminate is similar to different manufacturers in that it has a layered building.
