Are you making sure the most important employee in your business is being taken care of?
By Nicole Belanger (Contributing Writer, Women 2.0)
In the beginning it was just you, maybe with a co-founder, and an idea. It was a little lonely and a lot busy. Being the scrappy entrepreneur that you are, you monitored your overhead carefully, staying as small as you could for as long as you could.
But eventually the day came when you just couldn't manage the load alone anymore. So out you went into the world, seeking more hands to lighten the load, individuals with diverse expertise to complement your strengths and balance out your weaknesses.
It took time and effort, but eventually you pulled together a solid staff team and a trusted team of advisors and service providers. And all that hard work payed off -- you came to understand that teams are the foundation upon which strong founders and successful companies are built. You had peace of mind knowing that when you encountered the inevitable bumps in the road, you already had a reliable team at your disposal that would allow you to quickly address a crisis.
But I'm afraid there is one team you may have forgotten to invest in. In fact, it's one team that most founders forget about. And, unfortunately, you likely won't realize how much you need it until you are feeling burned out and in a desperate situation. It isn't a formal team like employees on payroll, nor is it likely to involve pricey retainers. But it is of vital importance to the success of your organization.
I'm talking about your self-care team.
It may seem like something you file under "nice-to-have," but building a strong self-care team early on in your entrepreneurial journey is crucial to your long-term success. From confidants to coaches, putting the thought and energy into intentionally building a team to support your mental, physical, spiritual and emotional well-being is a wise investment in your sanity and stability.
This collection of individuals -- some paid and others not -- should be a reflection of where you are and what you need today as well as where you want to be and how you want to grow. Every founder is different, so no two self-care teams will look exactly alike. With that in mind, here are some suggestions of the kinds of people you might consider putting around you to support you on your journey to greatness:
A Physician
From annual check ups to routine screenings to injuries and ailments, having a trusted physician that you can call when you are in need is important. As the leader of your business, your physical health is the cornerstone of your company. A doctor will help keep you performing at optimal levels.
A Mental Health Professional
While it might not be a popular topic of conversation around the water cooler, 32 percent of Americans are have sought professional mental health support. Chances are, if you ask around to your family, friends and colleagues, you'll find many people who have experienced the benefits of professional counselling.
Amid the growing conversation about founder depression and suicide, many entrepreneurs are sharing their experiences with therapy in the hopes of inspiring others to get help. While there are many types of mental health professionals, finding the right therapist isn't always easy. Follow these tips to find a good therapist for your needs.
Quality Friends
As author Elbert Hubbard said, "a friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you." Entrepreneurship can quickly become a lonely way of life if you don't invest time and effort into nurturing friendships, both old and new.
But beware: Not all friends are created equal. "The #1 decision affecting your ability to kick ass in life is making a conscious decision as to who you spend time with", says Dan Martell, founder of Clarity. His solution? Conducting regular friendventories.
An Accountability Partner
This can be your brother, your co-founder or even the mom you share carpool duties with. Breaking old habits and building new ones is hard, and having someone who will help keep you on track and steer you back on course is essential to your long-term growth. Staying accountable can be as simple as an email or phone call check-in every Monday morning listing your progress from the past week and sharing your goals for the coming one.
Fitness Professional
Whether you splash out for a personal trainer or you find a class at your neighborhood gym you love, having a professional who will guide you and motivate you to get in those all-important workouts is tremendously valuable.
Nutrition Expert
Just like with fitness, this can be a real, live human who comes into your home, or someone who teaches you through the pages of a book. The food you put into your body has a direct impact on the quality of work that you are able to produce for your business.
Spiritual Support
A doctor, a best friend and a trainer are obvious choices for a self-care team, but spiritual well-being often gets overlooked. But the reality is that we are complex human beings, and spirituality is an important component of wellness for many people. And the beauty is that spiritual support can be anything you desire -- from a yoga teacher, to a chaplain, to the great outdoors.
Somewhere to Give Back
Generosity is good for your health. No, really -- it can even extend your life. Finding a cause or an organization to support is a great way to get your mind off your troubles and infuse your life with gratitude and positivity.
While you won't be able to assemble a crack self-care team overnight, the key is to start seeking out these individuals now. Just like you don't wait to make a connection with a PR person until a crisis, it's best not to leave this until something goes wrong.
Who's one of the important people on your self-care team?

Discussion in 'Starting a Lawn Care Business' started by Adam3669, Apr 5, 2006.
Well..Im starting to get worried.
When do most of your calls start coming in?
about 3 weeks ago for me.
I don't worry it will drive you crazy and give you ulcers.
They will come, they always do, you just need to have confidence and if there not coming fast enough go out and get some new customers
they come when u think they wont come nemore...or half way thru the season or some dumb time....
I am a newbie but noticed I get calls on the weekend when it is warm and sunny. Cold and rainy...no calls.
I get calls thru-out the season. In the spring and fall for clean-ups, spring mowing, and in the winter for snow removal. I don't really have a specific time at this point.
I usually get them starting now, and continue throughout summer, but this month is slow due to rain,,
we just started getting a lot of calls but we had near 2 inches of snow this morning, we are getting over 100 calls per week now form old and new customers. It depends on how you advertise and your customer base. We having been working 10 days straight now, im ready for a break lol.
100 calls a week?? what the heck did youdo to get so many calls?how many of these new customers?
i never see calls coming in,but i hear'em

Central Coast Mariners v Wellington Phoenix - Saturday 06:35, BT Sport 1
The Mariners picked up their first win in 15 games as they won 2-1 at Champions Adelaide to move up to 8th. Phoenix, meanwhile, ended a run of eight straight defeats with a 2-0 win at home to the Jets and as a result are up to 9th, a couple of points behind the Mariners.
The Mariners have trailed at the break in each of their five games so far but managed to rescue a point at both Perth and the Wanderers to go with that victory over Adelaide. They've played just once at home and were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Brisbane, who have had a strong start to the season. Indeed, the Mariners look a much better side this term under Paul Okon and we fancy them to win.
Phoenix have lost 11 of their 16 road games since the start of last season, including a 3-1 defeat at the Mariners themselves. They were thumped 6-1 in their last road game and since they lost three of four winless trips to fellow bottom-three teams last term, the Mariners look an excellent price at 2.58 to make it back-to-back wins.£10 Free Credit and a £500 Deposit Bonus

September 2007; having been out of England for a month now, I was eager for the match to start. I had already come to terms with the fact that "soccer" was considered a girls' sport in the United States and I knew I would be just as happy to watch women play as men - as long as there were two goals and a pitch, it is all the same to me. The referee blew the whistle, and the match began. Only, it wasn't a "match," it was a "game;" and why were the clocks counting down from 45 minutes instead of up to 90? Who was this mysterious man with the power to stop the game clock all together? And where on earth did that buzzer come from? From this moment, I had realized my worst fear... sport in England is not the same as sport in America, even football is not football anymore... it is "soccer."
This then, is a record of my experiences and thoughts on the world of sport, particularly football (as I will now refer to it as). And you may find in here some experiences that have broadened my horizons, and caused me to consider a realm outside of those few "main" English sports, and allowed me to make room for American football, basketball... and perhaps even soccer.

Official health authorities have for decades claimed that a high saturated fat intake is linked to heart disease, stroke, cardiovascular disease, and surges in blood cholesterol levels, and even those people who pay little attention to nutrition have therefore usually learned sometime during their life that butter and fatty meats are something that should be avoided if you want to live a long and healthy life. However, since the advice to reduce fat intake was first included in the official dietary guidelines in the U.S. and other industrialized countries, some experts have argued that there really isn't enough evidence in support of the diet-heart hypothesis – which states that an imbalance of dietary cholesterol and fats, and high serum cholesterol, are the primary causes of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. In the last couple of years, more and more studies have indicated that the villification of saturated fat is unfounded, and many paleo (+dairy) and low-carb dieters have therefore completely dismissed the conventional wisdom and started consuming plenty of coconut oil, bacon, cheese, cream, and GHEE. But where does the answer lie? Should we trust the official dietary recommendations, or should we abandon the the notion that saturated fats are bad for you?

Ad-Hoc Security Issue
Ok I hope you can help me out here. I'm convinced this is a security issue. From time to time my laptop drops wireless signal & when I try to re-connect to my router, I notice there's this available ad-hoc network to connect to called hp.nomodel etc... I of course have never connected to this network but, every time I have to reconnect to my router I notice this network. I am now inclined to believe the existence of this network is the cause of my signal drop. Any suggestions on how to exclude this network altogether will be greatly appreciated.
|My System Specs
|22 May 2011
Win7 Pro x64
Not sure why you're getting dropped, but you could try adding the offending network to your Manage Wireless Networks list and set it to never connect.
When you are safely connected to your router and doing your stuff, try occasionally pulling up the available networks and see if that one has always been around.
|My System Specs
|22 May 2011
I would try that but, I don't want the the person who's broadcasting the ad-hoc network to be able to record my IP which is exactly what they'd be able to do..
|My System Specs
|23 May 2011
Windows 10 Pro (x64)
Uhh....the IP they record is meaningless. You would acquire a private IP address for that network which is really not unique to begin with. (192.168.1.xxx) is a common IP most home networks use.

I'll try that next time. Thanks for the general knowledge.

Efforts by Massachusetts General Hospital to reduce health spending could be indicative of the difficulty the health industry faces in trying to reduce spending growth, according to the Boston Globe.
Industry groups last week pledged to seek a 1.5 percent overall reduction in health care spending over the next 10 years. Massachusetts General's program, which began in 2006, aims to reduce hospitalizations among the elderly by 15 percent to 20 percent, as well as to improve the quality of care the elderly receive. A study looking at 35 efforts to improve elderly care found that only six, including Massachusetts General's program, saved money or covered their costs, according to the Globe.
Massachusetts General's program relies on nurses in primary care practices to be in regular contact with patients and provide assistance with nonmedical services. The program also uses electronic health records to coordinate care:
- The hospital spent $8 million to $9 million over the first three years of the program to provide enhanced services to patients.
- Hospital readmissions fell by 19 percent, admissions decreased by 17 percent and emergency department visits dropped by 15 percent between 2007 and 2008, according to preliminary research.
- The program saved enough by reducing hospital admissions and ED visits to cover its costs and also to generate savings of $7 million to $10 million.
- The overall cost for the program was about 5 percent less than for a group of other patients treated in a more traditional way.
According to David Cutler, a health care economist at Harvard University, improving care and reducing costs among the elderly is a necessary component of health reform. If we can't do this, he says, it doesn't bode well for health reform.
Eric Weil, a primary care physician and medical director of the program at Massachusetts General, says Medicare is looking for any and every way to save money. "This is a population of patients who are sick and will get sicker over time. Any opportunity to demonstrate savings in this group of patients is good, and 5 percent is very good," he says.

Increased Nest Density of the Digger Wasp Bembix rostrata as a Response to Parasites and Predators (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae)
Larsson, Folke K
Entomologia Generalis Volume 12 Number 1 (1986), p. 71 - 75
12 references
published: Oct 1, 1986
DOI: 10.1127/entom.gen/12/1986/71
ArtNo. ESP146001201007, Price: 9.90 €
Solitary wasps are affected by a wide variety of organisms acting as parasites or predators. Observations in a nesting aggregation of the digger wasp Bembix rostrata Linnaeus 1758 revealed the fly Metopia leucocephala Rossi 1790 to be important as a nest parasite. The frequency of these parasitic flies correlated significantly with increased density of B. rostrata nests. Calculated per nest, however, the relative incidence of such animals was declining as nest density increased. The same tendency was noted for ants visiting the nesting area. These findings may support the hypothesis of gregarious nesting as a selfish herd mechanism against parasites and predators
Gregarious nesting • selfish herd • nest density • Metopia leucocephala • Bembix rostrata

DOMESTIC / Mid-October - December
The Concorde pear originated in the United Kingdom in 1977. It is easily recognized by its exceptionally long neck. This variety is a cross between the Comice and the Conference pear, with the sweetness of the Comice, and the firm texture of the Conference. Don't be scared off by a few golden russet marks, which it inherits from the Conference pear - they are common with this variety and do not affect the flavor. When testing for ripeness, the Concorde will stay firm but the neck will yield to gentle pressure. This pear makes a great accompaniment to a cheese plate because it is very slow to brown.

Châtel - Ski Area Guide
Châtel, France
Ski Resort in Portes du Soleil, French Alps - 85km of Piste (1,100m to 2,200m)
An old Savoyard village with a long farming tradition and today a strong tourism infrastructure. Well placed on the Portes du Soleil circuit, arguably the world's biggest lift-linked ski area offering 650km of piste.
Châtel Snow News
The next notable snow forecast for Châtel is 27cm, expected on 25 November, with around 45cm forecast over the next 7 days. There is some snow currently indicated by the long-range (7 days+) forecast; but too far ahead to be relied upon.

The French Ski Resort of Châtel is part of the Portes du Soleil ski area with access to 400km of downhill skiing, with 285 individual pistes, served by 196 ski lifts. In addition to the skiing in Châtel itself (85km of pisted ski runs), the appropriate ski Lift Pass will allow you to ski or snowboard in the other Portes du Soleil ski resorts of Abondance, Avoriaz, La Chapelle d'Abondance, La Grande Terche, Les Gets, Montriond, Morzine, Saint Jean d'Aulps, Champoussin, Champéry, Les Crosets, Morgins and Torgon.
With skiing above 2000 metres, snow cover is generally reliable.
There are four Airports within two hours drive, so ski weekends, snowboard breaks and short ski holidays to Châtel are perfectly feasible. Sion Airport is just one hours drive away, in good driving conditions, so you can be on the piste quickly.
Skiing in Châtel
Châtel's skiing effectively breaks in to two huge sectors of the Portes du Soleil circuit, with the Linga gondola at one end of town heading off towards Avoriaz, and on the other from Super Châtel side gondola going towards the Swiss resort of Torgon. In addition, there are individual and unlinked drag lifts dotted around the valley floor, serving very easy or easy runs and used for beginners. The main beginner area is, however, at the top of the gondola above Super Châtel where a snowy open bowl contains a further dozen or so short drags radiating out in all directions and serving generally easy or very easy terrain.
Indeed, with so many lifts dotted around, and Châtel's two gondolas linking in to two sections of the vast Portes du Soleil, it's a bit difficult to work out exactly where the extensive skiing the village claims as it own comes to an end and the next resort's territory begins. Rather than trying to work that out, most skiers and 'boarders will be admiring the picturesque scenery for which the area is renowned, with thickly forested slopes above the valley floor giving way to open snow fields and then the rocky pinnacles above and beyond.
Intermediates will enjoy Châtel's skiing and the vast range of opportunities in the Portes du Soleil beyond. For advanced skiers the Linga sector is the place to go initially where you'll find challenging runs beneath the gondola.
There are now six ski schools operating in the resort, including some small specialist snowboard and off-piste operations which will be able to locate more advanced terrain away from the crowds.
Snowboarding in Châtel
Châtel has a fun park with half pipe up at its Super Châtel off-shoot, and with most of the key lifts in the area chairs or gondolas it's not a bad base for the Portes du Soleil, home to still more famous snowboarding centres like Avoriaz.
There's a good choice of 'boarding hire and sales shops and schools for tuition including Ski Surf Ecole International and l'Ecole de Ski Snow Ride.
Châtel Aprés Ski
Whilst many of the major French areas have become dominated by one international group or another, often the British, Chatel retains a very French feel which appeals to many (especially the British!). That being said Châtel is livelier than most French dominated resorts with several dozen bars and night spots open to 4am.
The Tunnel Bar, owned by Scots, and the Pelican Bar, both have a vibrant feel and frequently stage live music. Another popular spot is l'avalanche, in the village centre on the road to Linga. L'isba is the local action video bar. Evening alternatives are the bowling alley and a cinema showing English and French films on various nights.

The only way the Marina Center would save the county is if it was a high-tech office complex and Google was going to relocate there. The emphasis on adding more retail to compete with the companies who are already barely scraping by here, is ludicrous. Where are the people with real vision in this county?

OKAY people what i dont understand is how exactly is this meal budget friendly, you are basically dumping a whole freaking cup of brown sugar down the drain AND THEN on top of that you are ingesting an entire cup of chocolate syrup, for one thing no one should have to use an entire cup of syrup to make a desert using about 2 ounces or ramen, this is the dumbest s**t ive ever seen and id just like to say that i made an account on this great site JUST so i could complain about this ramen dish. BAM, you are welcome
Hehe, so I guess it's safe to say that you're NOT a fan of this recipe? However, I thought I would point out to you, since you don't seem to be aware, that by commenting on it, you're bumping it up in the ranks of the Ramen Recipe Contest. Ironically, Your disgust of the recipe actually helped the person who shared it.
You're better off posting something Positive on the recipes you like, rather than something negative on the ones you don't.

Sean McMahon touches down twice as Rebels edge to victory over Reds
Flanker Sean McMahon scored two tries as the Rebels repelled a strong second-half comeback from the Reds to claim a 31-28 Super Rugby victory in Brisbane.
McMahon pounced twice during six first-half minutes as the Melbourne side built up a 17-point interval advantage after wing Tom English touched down and Jack Debreczeni kicked nine points.
The Reds claimed four tries of their own - Liam Gill (two), Nick Frisby and Samu Kerevi the scorers - with Frisby adding three conversions and Henry Taefu one, but Nic Stirzaker's 56th-minute touchdown, converted by Debreczeni, made the difference.

Empowering deserving military families with educational support and opportunities.
"I'm like every other person, I got a mortgage to pay off as well, so that probably will happen a little bit. It's just such a neat feeling now I can play the rest of the year and -- you know, my mom's biggest dream has always been to go to Hawaii, and she's turning 60 in December so I guess we're going to Hawaii."
That was Richard S. Johnson on how his life will change after winning the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee on Sunday. Johnson wrapped up his first PGA Tour victory in dramatic fashion, dropping birdies on three of his last four holes to shoot 6-under par 64 and win by one shot. He finished 16-under par on the 6,759-yard Brown Deer Park Golf Course to win the $720,000 first prize.
Johnson, who had a hole-in-one on Thursday, got the birdies when he needed them the most, first sinking a birdie putt of about 12 feet on the par-4 17th-hole to break away from a tie. However, with the title still up for grabs, he then birdied the par-5 18th after hitting a spectacular 3-wood approach to 20 feet and two-putting for birdie for the one shot win. Johnson wore DryJoys PODS Traditional (style #53597) during the victory.
Johnson, the sixth golfer from Sweden to win on TOUR and seventh first-time winner this season, had to go through q-school last fall to get his TOUR card back...something he won't have to endure for at least a few years now.
congrats to you richard. you most definatly deserved it!

Secretary Clinton's Far East Departure
Hillary Rodham Clinton's decision to travel to Asia on her first trip as secretary of state is a change from the practice of past secretaries, who have tended to favor Europe or the Middle East as an initial destination. Below are the first solo overseas trips of recent secretaries who took office at the start of a presidential term, compiled by our colleague Glenn Kessler. Note, for example, that Syria was a stop for Vance and Christopher and that neither Madeleine K. Albright (who included East Asia on her trip) nor Condoleezza Rice went to the Mideast.
· Clinton, Feb. 15-22: Japan, Indonesia, South Korea, China.
· Rice, Feb. 3-10, 2005: Britain, Germany, Poland, Turkey, Israel, Italy, France, Belgium, Luxembourg.
· Colin L. Powell, Feb. 23-27, 2001: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Belgium.
· Albright, Feb. 16-24, 1997: Italy, Germany, France, Belgium, Britain, Russia, South Korea, Japan, China.
· Warren Christopher, Feb. 18-26, 1993: Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Cyprus, Lebanon, Israel, Switzerland, Belgium.

For those who are not familiar with the non dairy creamers, Non-dairy creamers typically contain sodium caseinate, a milk protein (casein) derivative that does not contain lactose and is not considered a dairy product. Other common ingredients include corn syrup and vegetable oil solids. And for the Vegans and Vegetarians, some creamers are based on soy milk rather than on milk protein.
In 1989, Nestle launched exciting variants of the coffee mate- Coffee Mate Lite and Coffee Mate Liquid. The Liquid Non-Dairy Creamer quickly became the number one liquid creamer on the market. Nestle aggressively added more flavors over the following 10 years, fat free products and single serve tubs. Amazingly, Nestlé's Coffee Mate Coffee Creamer was awarded the prestigious "Gold Taste Award" from the American Tasting Institute. This was the first time a non-dairy coffee creamer was included in this competition, and many chefs from across the country agreed that Coffee-Mate liquid and powder products have the best taste amongst all other competing national brands.
Additionally, several Coffee-Mate flavors were awarded medals for "Best of Show." Coffee-Mate flavors were judged in June 2001, awarding Coffee-Mate the 2001-2002 "Gold Taste Award."
If you are up to experimenting with your coffee, you can have a whole new experience when you try your coffee with coffee mate. There are so many different coffee mate flavors available and it is also available in four different varieties- Coffee mate liquid, coffee mate powder, coffee mate liquid concentrate and coffee mate soy.
Coffee mate liquid has many flavors like French Vanilla, Irish Crème, Vanilla Caramel, Crème brulée, Original fat free, original low fat and many other exotic flavors. Irish crème flavor is rich, creamy and blended with a hint of mint and is a perfect complement to desserts. The Crème brulée flavor adds a delicious taste of crème brulée to your coffee and makes for a fantastic dessert. The original fat free flavors add creaminess to your coffee minus the fats.
Coffee mate powder has flavors like Vanilla Chai Spice (which has a spicy taste), sugar free hazelnut, Pumpkin spice, Peppermint mocha, Cinnamon vanilla crème and many other flavors. Sugar free hazelnut offers the nutty sweetness of hazelnuts without the sugar. The cinnamon vanilla crème is delicately blended with real cinnamon spice and makes for a different, flavorsome cup of coffee. Coffee mate liquid concentrate offers three different exotic flavors- French Vanilla, Hazelnut, and Sweetened Original. French Vanilla gives you the rich, creamy taste of classic vanilla with a convenient Liquid Concentrate pump dispenser.
The non-dairy creamers liquid helps avoid mess by providing easy to use pump dispenser and can serve approximately 250 cups of coffee. Coffee mate soy is available in Soy French Vanilla and Soy Original flavors. In both the flavors, the soy is combined with vanilla and the smooth creamy taste of coffee mate (for second type) to bring a beautiful flavor to your cup of coffee.

"Individuals who speak their first language, which is not English, in the home, or are foreign-born" – this definition links individuals to their home language and includes both native and foreign born. /Campbell & Peyton, 1998, p. 38/
"… someone who has had exposure to a non-English language outside the formal education system. It most often refers to someone with a home background in the language, but may refer to anyone who has had in-depth exposure to another language. Other terms used to describe this population include 'native speaker,' 'bilingual,' and 'home background.' While these terms are often used interchangeably, they can have very different interpretations." /Draper and Hicks, 2000, p. 19/
1) Simultaneousbilinguals who speak a family and a societal majority languages well as adults (maybe even better)
2) Simultaneous bilinguals who are clearly dominant in the majority language, but have some (maybe good) knowledge of the family language
3) Simultaneous / earlysequential bilinguals who speak a minority community language (not from their family) to some degree (perhaps well) and are natives of the majority language
5) Sequential bilinguals who acquire the majority language L2 as young children, losing most of their L1 (perhaps entirely), but speak the L2 well
6) Sequential bilinguals who acquire the majority language L2 as adolescent/young adults, retaining their L1 well and speaking the L2 well
7) Sequential bilinguals who acquire the majority language L2 as adolescent/young adults, retaining their L1 well and speaking their L2 okay
8) Sequential bilinguals who acquire the majority language L2 as adolescent/young adults, losing some proficiency in their L1 and speaking the L2 well
10) Monolingual child acquirers of the majority language who have parents or grandparents who are speakers of a heritage language, but they have little (perhaps no) overt connections to the heritage language/culture
/Rothman, 2009/
Given the heterogeneous nature of the HL speaker population and the resulting difficulty
establishing one clear definition for heritage language, a simple dichotomous comparison of HL
versus FL students is not appropriate for comparing the language use and skills of these
Therefore, the primary purpose of Kondo-Brown's (2005) study was to explore which subgroups
within the HL population demonstrated language behaviors that are distinctively different from
any of the remaining groups. Results of the study suggested that only students with at least one
parent speaking the HL were significantly different from any of the remaining groups.
/Kondo-Brown, 2005/
6) They rarely have opportunities – Saturday and after-school programs notwithstanding – to gain literacy skills in their ancestral languages.
7) They present a wide range of reasons for wanting to study their ancestral languages.

As I read the State newspaper's web site today, I found a story that made me shiver with disgust and embarrassment.
Disgust because:
Officers responded to two unrelated fights at Broadway at the Beach on Saturday night, including one in which a man tried to cut off another man's testicles with a metal pocket knife.
Really? Who does that? Why would one man want to touch another man's testicles unless he was stroking them lovingly?
According to Myrtle Beach police reports, officers arrested Christopher Stillman, 26, of Lumberton, N.C., at about 1 a.m. They also arrested Samantha Michelle Hoback, 33, of Myrtle Beach during a different fight at about 12:45 a.m. Both were charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature.
According to the first report, Stillman assaulted another man by holding a pocket knife to his testicles and threatening to cut them off and then kill him.
if ($('#story_assets').length == 0 && $('#assets_ad #yahoo_300x250_ipbtf div').length == 0) {
$('#assets_ad').hide ();
The man suffered a small knife wound on his left leg under his crotch. Police later recovered a small metal pocket knife.
Of all the ways to kill a man and at least get away from the police, this is not it. I wonder if Stillman was upset because the man wouldn't allow him to do something else to his testicles. And why isn't Stillman charged with a sex crime?
The law doesn't not treat men the same in issues like this. Had Stillman tried to cut a woman's nipples off, he'd be facing sexual battery charges. I'm willing to bet the victim in this case wouldn't mind seeing this man face more charges and I'm sure he feels violated.
Embarrassed about this story because the suspect is from North Carolina. We're supposed to be better than this.

Competition for Commercial property heats up
Commercial property update
'The earliest indicator in any economy, in my opinion, is not consumer confidence, jobs, house prices or exports. Instead, it is the demand for industrial property. It's simple really – a diversifying and growing economy drives demand for space from companies seeking room to make or store more products' says Nigel Lewis, property expert.
This is often the earliest indicator of growing business confidence and economic activity. For example, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) recently highlighted how its commercial property demand index is two to three quarters ahead of official employment statistics [1].
At the moment, commercial property is in 'robust health' [1]. Perhaps you'll be aware of this if more of your clients are asking for funds to help them buy new space for their expanding businesses.
They are up against the big institutions, though. The number of investors putting money into commercial property at the moment has almost reached 2006 (or pre-financial crash) levels, according to Savills [2].
The increased demand for industrial units from UK and international investors, as well as UK companies, is making it difficult and increasingly expensive to acquire such properties, particularly if they are in a prime position. This is a challenge that varies in intensity depending on which sector, kind of property or region you look at.
RICS chief economist Simon Rubinsohn believes prices and rents for commercial property will rise during 2015 and beyond, possibly by up to 10% [3]. He says the number of companies seeking space is at its highest since 1998 [3].
Knight Frank believes much of this demand is being driven by the expanding logistics industries as people increasingly shop online. Demand for property within this sector is particularly strong in the Midlands and the North West, it says [4].
That's because investors, facing reducing yields in London, have been looking further afield for better returns. This is pushing up capital values as both businesses and investors compete to buy property. Research by Savills shows that all commercial property is rising in capital value at the moment [2].
One thing I love about the commercial property market is how similar it is to the residential one. Take the North East, for example. A recent Knight Frank survey [5] within the region reported rising commercial property prices, a lack of new units being built and, as companies competed for space, rising rents.

Treks descend from the Highlands to the sub-tropical Cloud Forest, along amazing gorge trails and the awe-inspiring Avenue of the Volcanoes.

For all those parents who have children preparing for First Communion in the coming months, we know boys and girls experience the same thing: They receive the sacrament of reconciliation and then the body, blood soul and divinity of Christ. Human beings being what they are, there are accompanying experiences of a lesser degree, and there are differences in these. Here's what to expect for boys, and girls ...
10. You have to remind boys that what's happening is kind of important.
You have to remind girls that what's happening is not the end of the world, and they can relax.
9. For girls, the biggest question is: "How does the dress look?"
For boys, the biggest question is: "What will it taste like?"
8. First Communion girls look like brides.
First Communion boys look like John Travolta.
7. Before first confession, the girls remember their sins with reluctance and embarrassment.
Before first confession, the boys remember their sins with a grin of satisfied pride.
6. After first confession, girls sit and ponder, slowly processing the meaning of what has happened.
After first confession, boys try to crawl under the pew to see what it looks like underneath.
5. Girls' patron is Blessed Imelda, who died of ecstasy after her first communion. Imelda Marcos, who loved shoes, was named for her.
Boys' patron is St. Tarcisio, who was beaten to death by a mob while protecting the host. Tarcisco Proietti, a Mafioso from Milan, was named for him.
4. For girls, getting to sit in the front all dressed up seems to make the Mass, and their moment in the spotlight, seem too short.
For boys, having to sit in the front of the church, all dressed up, makes the Mass seem to drag on and on.
3. Going through their cards after the reception, girls are impressed with how many people love them.
Going through their cards after the reception, boys are impressed with how much money they got just for receiving communion.
2. You elaborately adorn girls' hair for First Communion.
You buzz cut boys for First Communion to make hair a non-issue.
1. On First Communion day in church, the girls imagine themselves princesses who will one day be brides.
On First Communion day in church, the boys imagine themselves swinging from the church's rafters on Spider-man webs while the crowd below gasps and then applauds.
Kids are kids - the jokes were about them, not the Eucharist. They understand what they understand, and they're as reverent as they're capable of being - hopefully increasingly so as they grow in age and wisdom.
For an oridanry catholic, it is not understood why in America such imaginary differences are projected. Boys and girls are children of God. It is the duty of the parish priest and the parents to give them correct education about Church and the sacraments Only if proper education is given, thier behaviour, faith and fidelity to the eucharist will continue to be catholic. It will give them awe, respect and faith in their journey of life. Please do not crack jokes or make funny writings on Eucharist and other sacraments
As a mom of five boys I thank you for enlightening me on what they are thinking of in Mass. I have always wondered. It certainly rings true too! Very funny - thanks Tom!
"but the congregation ALWAYS gasped and then applauded when I did this as a kid. Either I am more impressive or you are more humble."
There MUST be another explanation. Because I'm sure you're not more impressive, yet clearly we can conclude from that I'm not more humble.
With all the Spider-Man comics in my closet and my years of cartooning studies at SVA, I'm sure I know everything there is to know about web-slinging. Perhaps the real explanation is that when I do it I'm distracted by the bad guy rather than by the onlookers.
Yep, Steven. Me too. I wonder if women readers of this realize that that one isn't a joke. I put it in because that's what I did as a boy in church. When I showed my son this list, he noted the Spider-man one right away and said, "Hey, I do that!"
... but the congregation ALWAYS gasped and then applauded when I did this as a kid. Either I am more impressive or you are more humble.
Tom, I must admit, I STILL imagine myself swinging from the church's rafters on Spider-Man webs. (No gasping or applause necessary, tho.)
Thanks Tom for the vision, right on target. Too funny
As my oldest, and a girl, prepares for First Communion next month, this is so funny and seemingly true. I get the feeling that in 2 years when my son makes his First Communion it will be much like you've described, including the buzz cut!
Very Funny!
Thank you for the good laugh, Tom. Having prepared 8 of my children for the sacraments so far (with 3 more waiting in the wings) I will agree with you everything except one thing - my boys tended to look like stereotypical used car salesmen!
As good parents, we cover all the truths and graces of our Church- the Real Presence, the joy and grace of receiving Jesus and more but they will still be kids and all that comes with it. Expecting them to be something other than that is unrealistic and sets up parents to feel like failures. One of sons, after his First Confession, turned to me and in a loud whisper said clearly, "You forgot to tell me something!" I was horrified, what could I possibly have forgotten?? "You forgot to tell me how good I'd feel!" I felt that I had hit a home run in the parenting game that day.
How our children feel about the sacraments and how they experience is an important aspect and realizing that they will have real emotions and kid-like reactions to it can make for some great memories and great stories afterwards.
Something is lacking in the above picture. Where does receiving Jesus Christ for the first time come into it? Bad teachers.

Re: Decoteau, 1850-present, North Dakota
I'm helping a friend try to find information on his Grandfather, Chief Basil DeCoteau. All he knows is that he thinks he died on the Bad River Rez in Wisconsin. And was born in Odanah, Wisconsin somewhere around the late 1870's or so. He was active on the three-state Ojibway Tomahawk band. His picture was reportedly on the cover of Look Magazine prior to 1959 as the "typical American Indian. One of his wifes was Clara Blackbird DeCoteau. My friend says his grandmother was Minnie Cooper as far as he knows. We thought Minnie might be short for Margaret, just speculation tho. Any help greatly appreciated.

D.C. Students React To President's Message
President Obama addressed the nation's schoolchildren Tuesday, urging them to work hard. Some students at Stuart-Hobson Middle School in Washington, D.C., who watched the president's address, called his speech "really true," and "inspirational."
NOAH ADAMS, host:
Some reaction, now, from the target audience. Students at Stuart-Hobson Middle School here in Washington, D.C. also watched the president's speech in their classrooms. Here's what a few had to say just after school.
Ms. KIERA SMITH(ph): I thought President Obama's speech was really true. When we first started school, I was having a little bit of trouble with the math, and I remember Obama saying that it's okay if you make mistakes.
Ms. DONYEA SMITH(ph): I think it was inspirational because he was telling us to work hard and make sure we get good grades. And I liked it because he put his effort in it to try to help us learn smarter. And he said that he was going to try to get us new books and stuff.
Mr. RACHMON SHABAZ(ph): I liked how he said that everyone who made it to success had failure in their past and that's kind of what made them reach success.
ADAMS: That is sixth-grader Kiera Smith, fifth-grader Donyea Smith, not of relation, and seventh-grader Rachmon Shabaz, students at Stuart-Hobson Middle School in Washington, D.C.

Obama Stresses Responsibility In School Pep Talk
In a televised pep talk that had prompted criticism in advance from some conservatives, President Obama on Tuesday told schoolchildren to study hard and not let failures defeat them.
Obama told students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Va., that the each of them has a talent — and their country is depending upon them to develop it.
"We need every single one of you to develop your talents, skills and intellect so you can help solve our most difficult problems. If you don't do that, if you quit on school, you're not just quitting on yourself; you're quitting on your country," he said.
The White House had hoped that students around the country would hear the address, but many school districts backed away from airing it live after conservative talk show hosts charged last week that Obama was using the speech to push a political agenda.
After days of criticism, the White House's decision to release the text in advance appeared to have muted some protests, though many districts were making the decision of on whether to air the speech on a campus-by-campus basis.
In Arlington, a small group of demonstrators met the presidential motorcade as it rounded the corner to the school. A few carried signs that read, "Mr. President, stay away from our kids" and "Our children serve God, not the president."
Department of Education officials said Wakefield High School was chosen as the site of the speech because it is among the most racially diverse and highest performing schools in Arlington County, which is a Washington suburb. Most of the students — 47 percent — are Hispanic; 27 percent are black and 11 percent are Asian.
Students were given the opportunity to decline participation if their parents sent an e-mail to the school.
Obama got a rousing welcome from the students, who participated in a question-and-answer session with the president and Education Secretary Arne Duncan before the speech.
Other districts also let students watch the address. At the Los Angeles Unified School District, the nation's second-largest, administrators encouraged principals at their 89 year-round schools to view the speech as a "teachable moment," said Robert Alaniz, the district's communications director.
Last week, the district received numerous calls from parents who wanted their children to have a chance to participate, even though most students don't return to class from summer recess until Wednesday, he said.
"They saw it as an opportunity, particularly when the White House released it for the children to view the speech with their peers and be able to discuss the speech and obtain some sort of teaching experience," he said.
District officials received only two calls from people who were opposed to airing the speech and said they were parents. Alaniz said those calls came from people in the 415 area code, which is outside the Los Angeles area, leading officials to believe they were not parents.
At Philadelphia's Thurgood Marshall Elementary School, about a dozen students and parents gathered in a classroom to watch the speech.
Sharita Reid-Elam, mother of a seventh grader, welcome the pro-education message. "Anyone who has anything positive to say, let them say it," she said.
In Florida, where the speech was harshly criticized by state Republican Party Chairman Jim Greer, school officials in the Miami-Dade County Public Schools said parents were initially concerned, but seemed more agreeable after the text was posted on the White House Web site.
"We basically made it voluntary. We sent a message to the parents and to all the schools that if it's something dealing with the instructional mission of the classroom that they can view it if they want," said Hilda Diaz, district spokeswoman. "If the parents send a note, then the students don't have to participate."
Even Greer backed off his opposition after he read the text, saying Monday that he thought the speech was fine.
"It's a good speech," Greer told ABC News."It encourages kids to stay in school and the importance of education, and I think that's what a president should do when they're going to talk to students across the country."
Last week, Greer had said he was appalled that taxpayer dollars were being used to spread Obama's "socialist ideology."
During the speech, Obama avoided politics altogether, focusing instead on motivating students to live up to their potential.
The president acknowledged that many of the students are growing up in situations that are less than optimal. Drawing on his own life experiences, he said his father left the family when he was a toddler. Later, his mother didn't have the money to send him to the best schools, so she got him up at 4:30 a.m. to teach him extra lessons.
"Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up. No one's written your destiny for you. Here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future," he said.
Jim Hilgen of member station WRTI in Philadelphia contributed to this story.
