Seriously, in case you ever feel like interest in hockey in this country is on the upswing, take a little stroll thought the sports section of any chain bookstore. Obviously, baseball is the king of the sports books section, mainly because it's the only sport you can actually watch WHILE reading. Basketball and football have large sections of their own as well, and you'd think that hockey might be next, right?
Fuck no, compadre, it's time to buckle down for the golf section.
Don't get me wrong, golf is a fun game, but the writing inspired by it is a HUGE industry, far bigger than it has any business being. This is mainly because a lot of the men who play golf tend to be exactly the boring types of bastards whose families have no idea how to shop for them. I mean, they go to work, come home, love their families in their typical way, and they're pretty much interested in Golf, Patrick O'Brian novels , scotch, and pornography.
Then, once they've gotten through all the O'Brian and have 12 bottles of single malt behind the bar, their families have just two options left, and most of them tend to pick the one where they don't have to say "Happy Father's Day, Dad- it's a subscription to BangBus!" So… sorry about that Pop, here's another book about Golf. I love you, OK? Now please don't hang yourself.
And then, finally- after you work your way through the smaller sections, demarcated usually with a plastic signs extending off the shelves reading "NASCAR," "Olympics," or "Action Sports" (usually skateboarding, snowboarding and in-line skating) you get to...
could it be....
It's "Outdoor Sports" a section packed with books on skiing, hunting, biking, mountain climbing, and the memoirs of idiot "sportsmen" whose appendages were frozen off , were trapped under heavy things, or were at the very least menaced, but in some cases either partially or completely devoured by, everything from bears to sharks to Arctic wolves.
Then- finally, finally- you see a small section, usually half a shelf, this one without even a plastic sign of it's own, but instead just a series of letters at the center of the shelf, in a font so small that the writing on the spines of the books themselves are bigger than what is faintly spelling out the words "Ice Hockey."
And there isn't a lot to offer. You'll see, oh- I don't know, an NHL Yearbook maybe, and a few kids books with lots of glossy pictures and grammatically incorrect exclamation points in the titles. Stuff like "So- you want to play in the NHL!" or "Seeking the Silver! 8 Stories of Lord Stanley's Cup." Then if you're lucky- very lucky, you might find a lone, dusty copy of George Plimpton's Open Net , which if you haven't read, you should buy immediately. It's incredible.
There also will be at least 12 books about the 1980 Olympic Hockey team, which chronicles the Miracle on Ice, the miracle being that the citizens of the United States all actually enjoyed a hockey game, mostly because it introduced them to a storyline that would one day be adapted into the screenplay for Rocky 4 .
As Don Cherry once wrote "Let's face it, Americans would rather watch 'The Rifleman' than a hockey game." And I know he said that because it was in the book next to the 12 copies of the Miracle on Ice book, a 6-inch paperback entitled "Hockey's most hilarious one-liners!"
It's just a little depressing, the ice hockey shelf.
You should check it out.
It's right above the one labeled "Soccer."

You are correct sir. Looked about a month ago for some drills and training books on hockey. I did find one book, but amounted to generic photos that really could have had any sport on the cover. Well except golf since being in shape is not a requirement. Given the shape John Daily is in, I think he would also qualify for another sport which gets more coverage on ESPN than hockey... extreme eating.
Maybe it is time to put pen to paper. I will guarantee at least one sale at this point for your book.
I agree, Barnes and Noble isn't any better. I'm new to the sport and I wanted to learn more, but the only offering was Hockey for Dummies which I think was pretty good. Funny being in Long island NY I thought i'd find more oh well

It is often said by Cornell hockey fans that the Ken Dryden autobio "The Game" is excellent. Of course, this is roughly equivalent to having Mrs. Dryden giving the same recommendation but I have heard it from too many people to think it is just homerism.
Open Net was a great read (but not as good as Paper Lion).


text: Hello all, I would like to serve butternut squash mac and cheese at my family's Christmas Eve brunch. I've seen recipes off and on for several years, and it always sounded so delicious. Now that I've decided to make it though, I'm having trouble identifying which of the myriad recipes out there would be best (i.e. best tasting). In general, I prefer a baked mac and cheese with a nice crust on top. I'm also leaning towards ones that have chunks of roasted BNS mixed in, rather than just pureed into the sauce. Does anyone have any recommendations for any recipes that are particularly good? Also, it would be fantastic if I could find one that is able to be assembled the day before, so I could just pop it in the oven that morning. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

When I first started using a telescope about 8
years ago I
got lost every time I looked for something in the sky. This was
true if I did so from my light polluted back yard in suburban San Jose. Sure I recognized the bright star patterns I
learned as a cub scout like the Big Dipper, but the rest was a mystery. In frustration I got a GOTO scope, but having
it do all the work gave me an experience like watching TV. What I need
was a good chart and some instruction of how to use it.
This video is the result of my own journey. The material began as a chapter in the internet book I produced on the Messier Marathon. Using the medium of video I have been able to greatly expand that brief explanation making it both more entertaining and more informative.
The total run
time is 30 minutes. If you want
to just get a flavor of what I have done then I suggest you start with
Section 1
Section 2
This example is also provided in text version below
Section 3
Section 4 -

Finding M38 -
Web Example
To find your way around in the sky you need the
right kind of finders
and a good set of charts. I use paper charts (Pocket Sky
Atlas, Bright Star Atlas, and Uranometria), but most of the time I use a laptop running SkyMap Pro and more recently SkyTools V 3.
The trick to Star Hopping is first getting your
bearings. Experience has told me that
before I get behind the telescope you first have to sit with a visual
chart and acquaint yourself with the stars.
In this example we will find M38 in a November sky.
In November M 38 will be in the east. Click on

Harmonizers around the world were shocked in December when news broke that Camilla Cabello had left the group. The remaining girls- Laruen, Normani, Dinah Jane, and Ally- vowed to stick together and promised fans they'll release a new album this year.
Last night at the People's Choice Awards Fifth Harmony performed for the first time without Camilla. So how did it go? The ladies sang their smash hit "Work From Home," but during Camilla's parts of the song they skipped right over it! The girls did great without her, and they even took home the People's Choice Award for Favorite Group.

Hi all,
Well here is the situation. I am moving into a student accomodation next week where they supply us with broadband. Now I want to set up my Linux box (Knoppix distro) so that I will be safe on the network from internal attacks. What do you suggest I do to secure my box? I thought about blocking all incoming ICMP packets but not sure if this is necessary.
Thanks for any help

The Battle of Tippecanoe, fought on November 7, 1811 near present-day Lafayette, Indiana, involved forces of fewer than 2,000 Native American warriors and white soldiers, and only about 300 men were killed or wounded on both sides. Given those numbers, it's apparent that the battle was far from being a Saratoga or a Gettysburg in terms of its scale or significance as an historical turning point, yet it was one of the most important battles in shaping American history during the early 19th century. The battle also involved an epic confrontation between two important American figures: William Henry Harrison, who would become the ninth president of the United States by running on his success in the battle, and the Shawnee war chief Tecumseh, arguably the most famous Native American leader in American history.
The initial Native American attack struck the southern point of Harrison's defensive perimeter around 4:30 am on November 7, 1811, and almost immediately the warriors rushed in among the American defenders manning that sector. Soldiers defending the southern side of the perimeter suffered the highest casualties, with the Yellow Jackets suffering a 30% casualty rate, but in fighting lasting about two hours Harrison's force of roughly 1,000, suffered only 62 dead and about 120 wounded. As the sun rose, the warriors began running low on ammunition, and the light revealed their small numbers, leading them to break off the attack and retreat towards Prophetstown.
The battle was hardly a decisive victory, but at the end of the fighting the Americans still held their perimeter, allowing them to claim victory.

Author M. Salahuddin Khan of Siknader has agreed to do an interview with I HEART BOOKS!
When I asked Mr. Khan the following questions he had this to say:
1. Can you tell us a bit about yourself?
Yes, I'm a management consultant turned author. I was born in 1952 in Pakistan to parents who were made refugees following the partition of British India and who fled from Delhi in 1947. I moved to England at the age of four and grew up and was educated there. I graduated in 1973 with a Bachelors in Aeronautics and Astronautics. I came to the US for the first time in 1972 to witness Apollo 16's launch to the moon and fell in love with the country from that time. I made several trips here until finally in 1988 I moved with my wife and three sons. Within six years we added three daughters to the brood.
Career-wise, I became Chief Technology Officer of Computervision in Bedford, MA and CTO at NAVTEQ in Chicago, IL. I was the Senior VP for Global Marketing and Strategy when I left NAVTEQ in 2007 to pursue some dreams at the age of 55. None of them included writing a novel, however, and I surprised myself when the idea for it came to me in something of a flashbulb moment at the end of 2009.
2. What inspired you to write Sikander?
There were several factors at work I think, some of them deeply rooted.
I grew up as the only non-white person and only Muslim in my entire grade-school and high-school life. I was almost always an outside observer and became really familiar with being misunderstood. Then came the events of 9/11 and I increasingly saw more and more mainstream media and public opinion sharing views about Muslims which I couldn't relate to or recognize. The flashpoint came when I saw a movie (it must have been the fourth or fifth time) of Victor Hugo's timeless Les Misérables. I was struck by the themes of misunderstanding that this universally relevant classic explored and thought about a story in similar terms but with my lens firmly on Guantanamo. The story blossomed from that thought into what it became, leaving the Guantanamo experience as its apex.
Ben Franklin once said that "the person who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither" and I think as a country, we've lost our way on this simple point. Sadly, it isn't the only point where we've become untethered from our founding principles, and its begun to change the core idea of "who we are" when we're defined by the behavior we've permitted in our name. I think that core essence has morphed in the last 10 years and it was something I wanted to explore, but without caricaturing Americans or the Muslims of Afghanistan and Pakistan. I like Thomas Friedman's views on this when he talks about getting back to "who we are." We're not there right now and I hope SIKANDER helps in its own small way for us to see that.
3. Is there any of yourself in Sikander or any of the other characters?
Sikander's personality shares many aspects with my own. I can thankfully say his experiences are generally not mine though being misunderstood, having yearned to live in America, retained a Muslim sense of self, and in a few other ways those experiences are similar. He's a thinking Muslim with some hands-on experience of life as am I.
4. How old were you when you realized you were truly interested in writing?
I eased into it. I was 54 when I was asked to become the publisher of ISLAMICA Magazine which was aimed at revealing a more intellectually vibrant and textured side of Islam in the world today. Its obectives resonated with me so I took it on. I then took to writing on a variety of topics on the website helium.com though I don't do that much now. Then finally the novel idea came to me and so I took that on too. I was almost 58 at the time and had never written anything fictional. I love it and am itching to complete the next two works.
5. Are you currently working on any novels?
Two are taking shape as we speak and it's almost like a horse race as to which will crystallize first. When one of them does, I imagine I'll be the same frenzied person I was when I completed a pre-edit manuscript in six weeks for SIKANDER. The front runner right now is actually the sequel, a story about the character of Rabia. I feel her inside me urging me to convey the story of her continuing and remarkable transformation.
6. Sikander was first published in 2010. What changes have been added to this new edition?
The 4th edition is due out in April, 2012, and will include a Foreword by renowned expert on modern Islam, professor and former ambassador, Akbar Ahmed, who teaches at the American University in Washington D.C. He's also made numerous appearances on CNN, Fox, Oprah, MSNBC, BBC and al-Jazeera English, as well as having several books, novels and works of poetry himself.
Other changes have been to compress the language without changing the story while at the same time enlarging upon the way the relationship between Rabia and Sikander takes shape and matures. The new edition will be almost 120 pages shorter than the original but there are no meaningful eliminations from the story. Lastly, the maps are placed in the main body of the story as they become relevant, and shortened explanations of glossary terms are now footnoted when they occur on a given page. This is done up to a maximum of the first five pages on which any such word occurs. Thereafter, the much more in-depth Glossary section remains a valuable and interesting point of reference if the reader still needs to look it up.
7. What should readers expect by reading Sikander?
It's a coming of age story in the bildungsroman style. I'd also say it is very character driven but with the ever-present "scaffolding" of world events and the way they touch the lives of those characters in a classic historical fiction narrative. It's also a human story, where I've deliberately avoided creating deeply relatable western characters (at least for the first three-quarters of the book) so as to try to lift the reader out of their chair and become a fully immersed participant. That way, living alongside such "alien" people gives the reader a truer sense of what it is like to be the "other" and thereby wash away the "otherness" leaving behind the residue of our shared humanity.
For me the story also has two main parts. The first ten chapters are about defining the character of Sikander as he undergoes an accelerated adolescence brought about by natural conflicts as well as warfare. The second part is the story of his life's purpose and ambition where he undergoes several challenges which shake his very sense of who he is.
8. Why did you decide to wrte a historical fiction novel?
The nature of the story and my wish to make certain points about our present condition as a country and people in geopolitical as well as human terms made no other choice possible. Other genres can do this too, I even think Battlestar Galactica (2003 version) makes numerous allegorical references to the post-9/11 era, but I wanted a more direct reference to the Muslim / America relationship which is a big deal in the world today. Besides, it was great to have real events and people "taken care of" and only requiring research to learn and write about them. I didn't have to conjure up an entire world. I admire Tolkein and Rowling among others for their skills in doing that.
9. Is there anything else you'd like to say to readers?
Although there is a social message in the story, I hope readers also enjoy it for the exotic nature of the places and people and the adventures they have that most of us will never experience. I'd like them to say "Wow! I never knew that!" as often as possible and to feel good about these new insights. I'd like them to see Muslims differently than they might have with just media stereotypes, and to "feel Muslim" for a while but in the sense that the vast majority of the world's mainstream Muslims feel in being flawed characters living through their values, hopes, fears, and dreams.
I would also like my female readers to feel inspired by the parallel story of Rabia, the poor Afghan village widow's daughter who becomes an upper-middle-class wife in suburban America, in many ways reflecting the immigrant's view of the American dream and how the utterly improbable becomes reality.
And now for my review! :D Special thanks to Samantha Lien from JKS for the review copy!
Rating: ♥♥♥
Review: Because I normally read and review paranormal young adult novels, I was hesitant in accepting a historical fiction novel. I'm glad I said yes! The maps and glossary included were very helpful as this book has many foreign expressions.
The characters, I found, were written excellently! They all had such depth and great personalities. There were humorous moments, sad moments, and every expression was written so that me, as the reader, was feeling the emotions. The only thing was that many of the names were quite similar - although I'm aware that's part of teh culture, it was slightly confusing sometimes when trying to understand who was speaking. But I also found that that really didn't take much away from the book.
Sikander was also full of action! The war scenes had me on the edge of my seat, white knuckling the book! It gave me such a new look on on war and what it does to poeple and families. It made me realize how fortunate I am to have a whole and happy family - because so many don't.
But the deaths and sadness that war caused was balanced out by the love in the novel. The love between family, friends, and also the new relationships that turned to marriage. So yes, the love that blossomed was a nice reprieve from the the devastating destruction of war. It was quite interesting to learn so much about another culture and their customs.
Oh and be forewarned - the end of the novel made me cry and will probably make you cry too!
Overall, Sikander was not only a great historical fiction novel, it was also, in its own way, educational! If you enjoy historical books then I suggest you give this one a try. Thank you so much to Mr. Khan for the interview and also again to Samantha Lien who has been my contact for not only Sikandder, but also some other great reads such as Trial of Tears!

On Thursday, September 29, the Long Beach Post hosted an event to honor young people from around the city who are doing great things to better their community and beyond. Out of hundreds of nominations from our readers, judges chose 40 winners, representing a range of professions and activism. The Post will be profiling each honoree in the coming days.
Co-owner of both The Wine Bar for nearly seven years and Long Beach Jerky Co. for three, Alex Naticchioni, 31, is known for cultivating community over delicious food and drink. Described as "driven" and a "trailblazer," the young entrepreneur runs both businesses with a love for craftsmanship and Long Beach culture.
"I was shocked to hear that I was nominated and then selected as a winner," he said. "I was honored and damn near rendered speechless after reading the article. To be recognized by the community for this award is something I never imagined and still have a hard time believing."
The Wine Bar serves craft beer and wine in downtown Long Beach, and showcases the work of local artists, while giving singers, bands and DJs the space to perform. Long Beach Jerky Co., established in 2013, can be found in over 30 local shops, restaurants, bars and other venues, and is one of the city's most known small businesses.
Naticchioni, a Colorado native, can often be found at local events, chatting with friends, meeting new people and passing out samples.
"He is smart, powerful, charismatic and successful—all traits he will never acknowledge about himself," one of his nominators wrote. "In fact, he would rather donate profits from his businesses to help those in need than make a buck, and that is truly a characteristic we should all appreciate."
"This award is not a product of one person, but more a product of everything that surrounds it," Naticchioni said. "The people I work with, the city we work in and all the people in it. The outpouring of support and love behind all this is what keeps it going and can only imagine what the years to come hold for us."

Outstanding article Rachel! As a health care professional, I'm well aware of the need for quality care for the elderly in the privacy and comfort of their own home. It's truly a shame there are people out there only too willing to exploit that need.

Tom Hoopes is Vice President of College Relations and writer in residence at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas. He has written for the Register for more than 20 years and was its executive editor for 10. His writing has appeared in First Things' First Thoughts, National Review Online, Crisis, Our Sunday Visitor, Inside Catholic and Columbia. He has served as press secretary for the Chairman of the U.S. House Ways & Means Committee. He and his wife, April, were editorial co-directors of Faith & Family magazine for 5 years. They have nine children.
Tonight's a big night for Barack Obama and Catholics. Our very own Father Raymond J. de Souza writes about it in today's National Post.
"The Al Smith Dinner is one of American Catholicism's most glittering events — a massive fundraiser for the Catholic charities of the Archdiocese of New York," he explains.
McCain and Obama plan to be there tonight. The dinner always gets a big name speaker — and every four years it hosts the two presidential candidates, just as it hosted JFK and Richard Nixon in 1960.
"While the remarks tonight are expected to be lighthearted and not too political, it is likely that Mr. Obama will try to use the occasion to present himself as a friend to religious and socially conservative voters," writes Father de Souza.
Obama is expected to win the election this November, he points out, but he "is just flirting with 50% of the popular vote." Why? Because religious voters don't like his strongly pro-abortion stance.
Father de Souza helpfully counts the ways Obama is pro-abortion:
— against the ban on partial-birth abortion.
— against parental-notification for minors seeking abortion.
— against "conscience-clauses" for pro-life doctors who refuse to do abortions.
— for federal funding of abortions.
— would sign the Freedom of Choice Act, eliminating federal statute on any abortion regulations in all of the 50 states.
— voted in Illinois against the "Born-Alive Infants Protection Act" which passed the U.S. Senate unanimously.
Asks Father de Souza: "Given the number of factors in his favor, and his explicit desire to make room for Catholic voters, religious voters and pro-life voters in his campaign, the substance of his abortion policy is extreme and counter-productive … So why does he adopt it?"
He answers: "Voters can only conclude that Mr. Obama believes in his policy sincerely."
— Tom Hoopes

The city of Camden is, at least temporarily, creating a park out of the former Maxway department store site on the northwest corner of Broad and Rutledge streets. City Manager Mel Pearson said work started recently with the addition of decorative lights.
Camden Mayor Tony Scully congratulates 2015 Miss Camden Abigail Zvejnieks (left) and 2015 Camden Miss Teen Olivia Loynes on their recent pageant wins during Tuesday's Camden City Council meeting. Zvejnieks is a senior in the Spring Valley High School Discovery Magnet Program. Her platform focuses on scoliosis awareness and screening and supporting the Children's Miracle Network. Loynes is a sophomore at North Central High School. Loynes' platform is "learning and exploring arts through dance." Congratulating the young ladies with Scully are (from left) council members Jeffrey Graham, Deborah Davis, Laurie Parks and Alfred Mae Drakeford. During Tuesday night ...
It may become illegal for Camden residents to own a rooster. It's one of a long list of changes proposed by the Camden Planning Commission (CPC) to the city's zoning ordinance. The proposed changes are the result of two years worth of work by the CPC -- which met 26 different times -- to modernize, streamline and otherwise make zoning regulations in Camden easier to follow, according to Camden Planner Shawn Putnam.
Camden City Council will recognize the new Miss Camden and Miss Camden Teen winners for 2015 during its meeting Tuesday evening. Council will honor 2015 Miss Camden Abigail Zvejnieks and 2015 Miss Camden Teen Olivia Loynes, as well as their platforms.

People packed into Camden's Mt. Moriah Baptist Church on Monday evening for the community's annual remembrance of the life and legacy of slain civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The NAACP's Camden-Kershaw County branch sponsored the event, presided over by 1st Vice President Rev. Kenneth Carter.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. powerfully and famously used his words to break down racial barriers. Today, Americans across the country are remembering King's words and celebrating the life of a man who played perhaps the most prominent role in the civil rights movement. King drew thousands of people -- most famously through marches -- from different racial and religious backgrounds together to peacefully protest inequality.
A long-time supporter of both the Fine Arts Center (FAC) of Kershaw County and the Hobkirk Hill Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is being mourned today. Patricia "Pat" Plyler Watts died Tuesday at the age of 79.

Its steel girders dwarf the neighboring and, to this date, the only covered show ring at the South Carolina Equine Park (SCEP) in Camden.
Representatives from the S.C. Equine Promotion Foundation (SCEPF) will speak before Camden City Council during its meeting Tuesday night. The meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.; there will be no afternoon work session. SCEPF officials are expected to update council on a $250,000 grant application to the S.C. Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism.
United States Sen. Tim Scott paid a special visit to the Jackson Teen Center (JTC) in Camden on Dec. 30, to see firsthand the difference the facility is making for the youth of the community. Operated in conjunction with Boys & Girls Clubs of the Midlands, JTC offers after-school activity and tutoring programs for youths who might otherwise be out on their own and more prone to mischief and trouble.
Camden City Council voted unanimously Dec. 9 to approve four more Leaders Legacy recognition benches. The benches will honor a late dentist and three former city councilmen. Councilman Jeffrey Graham is acting as the city sponsor for the four benches.
Smiley, Quiet Storm, Showtyme, Precyse, Tailor Made, Terminator, Lieutenant, Havoc, Live Wire, Dimplez, Eyes and Eclipse. If they sound like female gang names, you'd be right and wrong. They're the "better gang," the Kershaw County Diamonds and they are step dancing champions.

Material design is a comprehensive guide for visual, motion, and interaction design across platforms and devices.
To use material design in your Android apps, follow the guidelines defined in the material design specification and use the new components and functionality available in Android 5.0 (API level 21) and above.
Android provides the following elements for you to build material design apps:
• A new theme
• New widgets for complex views
• New APIs for custom shadows and animations
Following are the major introduction with Material Design APIs.
Material Theme
The material theme provides a new style for your app, system widgets that let you set their color palette, and default animations for touch feedback and activity transitions.
Lists and Cards
Android provides two new widgets for displaying cards and lists with material design styles and animations:
View Shadows
In addition to the X and Y properties, views in Android now have a Z property. This new property represents the elevation of a view, which determines:
- The size of the shadow: views with higher Z values cast bigger shadows.
- The drawing order: views with higher Z values appear on top of other views.
The new animation APIs let you create custom animations for touch feedback in UI controls, changes in view state, and activity transitions.
These APIs let you:
- Respond to touch events in your views with touch feedback animations.
- Hide and show views with circular reveal animations.
- Switch between activities with custom activity transition animations.
- Create more natural animations with curved motion.
- Animate changes in one or more view properties with view state change animations.
- Show animations in state list drawables between view state changes.
- Touch feedback animations are built into several standard views, such as buttons. The new APIs let you customize these animations and add them to your custom views.
We will see these things one by one in coming posts.

The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) represents a dramatic twist in societal evolution; 'things' of any nature have the potential to interconnect and, in the process, they are bound to change how we think and go about our daily lives.
An ITU workshop, "Internet of Things: Trends and challenges in standardization", held at ITU headquarters in Geneva, 18 February 2014, gathered a multi-disciplinary selection of experts to take stock of progress in the IoT arena with a view to highlighting priorities for its future development.
A keynote presentation given by Daniel Faulk of SAP explored several IoT dimensions in key 'vertical' markets, focusing in particular on resulting opportunities for the enterprise in relation to new IoT-fuelled sources of 'big data'.
Among the other guest speakers were representatives of standards bodies such as ITU-T, IEEE, OGC and oneM2M; the open-source community, with the likes of

We are a member of PARN, the Professional Associations Research Network, which shows that our professional body is:
The Council for Work & Health brings together various
professional bodies which address health at work to provide an
authoritative and representative 'single voice' on health and wellbeing
issues. Ergonomics and human factors are recognised as important in
designing work and jobs to prevent workplace injuries and ill health and
in modifying workplaces to get people back to work after absence. The
CIEHF was one of the early members and is represented by Tom Stewart who
has been elected onto the Board of the Council for a period of three
years from 2013.
Health at work is often seen in purely medical terms and the CIEHF
wants to ensure that ergonomics and human factors are fully recognised
for their roles especially in prevention and rehabilitation. Playing a
full part in this organisation gives us an opportunity to shape future
health and work in the UK. One of the major Council projects we are
involved with is to model future occupational health service provision
for the next 20 years. The Council's Business Plan and projects are
described on its website at www.councilforworkandhealth.org.uk.
Being aligned with organisations such as the Faculty of Occupational
Medicine, the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists and the Institute of
Occupational Safety and Health also increases our voice with government
and industry.
The CIEHF has a representative on the Technical Committee PH/9
Applied Ergonomics to ensure the best possible ergonomics, technical and
professional advice is available to BSI and hence ISO. This contributes
to high quality standards which are used throughout the profession by
organisations with an interest, including many government agencies such
as MoD and NHS, industry, offices, safety organisations and others. Find out more about standards.
The CIEHF is an associate member of The Hazards Forum.
The Hazards Forum was established in 1989 by the four major engineering
institutions, the Institutions of Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and
Chemical Engineers to provide an interdisciplinary focus for the study
of disasters and the promulgation of lessons learned from them. Since
then the Forum has broadened its remit to inform the public
understanding of risk, while continuing to develop its work on the
assessment of hazardous events, dissemination of lessons learned and the
promotion of risk reduction strategies. A member of the CIEHF attends
meetings of the Hazards Forum to put forward the views of the ergonomics
and human factors community and to support the forum in its aims.

No safety issue has ever generated more controversy than ergonomics. The list of activists on both sides seems without end. The same is true of the actions taken by these parties.
Although the chance of being visited by an OSHA inspector is about one in 15, (based on 1999 Census estimates of firms with more than 10 employees) it may be time to invest in learning your OHSA ABCs and XYZs.
Contractors' feedback in the preparation of NECA's Financial Performance Report (Index #1055) indicates that project costs divide among three major divisions. In general, the job costs will generally consume about 60 percent by way of material and labor costs.
Your work force is becoming more diverse, and perhaps you're a little confused about how to recruit and retain these new workers, especially the women. So what do you do? First, leave your paranoia behind. Most women in the workplace don't plan to sue the company.
On the job and in the office, communication styles often determine how productively your team performs, be it estimating a new job or completing one in the field. Communication is at the center of motivation and leadership, and it can be related to personality.
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Board of Directors of Thomas & Betts Corporation announced that it has elected Dominic J. Pileggi to the newly created position of president and chief operating officer for the company, effective January 1, 2003.
It's no secret that there's a work force shortage. If your key employees are demanding better compensation and benefits, you're probably frustrated. You know it's a seller's market and you can't afford to lose good people.
Smoking marijuana was a way of getting through the day for journeyman Michael Wilborn. It calmed his nerves, helped alleviate the boredom of mundane parts of his job (residential work) and helped him sleep at night.
An effective quality assurance (QA) program can be a valuable asset to the electrical contracting firm. Not only can a formal QA program improve construction quality and reduce rework, but it can also improve customer satisfaction and serve as a valuable marketing tool.

Published: Thursday 18th December 2014 by The News Editor
The pay bill for ministers' special advisers has risen to more than £8 million, according to official figures.
Labour said the rise – to a total of £8.4 million for 103 "Spads" in 2013-14 – represented a 17% increase on the previous year.
Six advisers are being paid £100,000 or more, with the list topped by David Cameron's chief of staff Ed Llewellyn and his director of communications Craig Oliver, who each received £140,000.
Christopher Lockwood, the deputy head of the No 10 Policy Unit, received £134,000; the Prime Minister's press secretary Graeme Wilson got £110,000; and Kate Fall, Mr Cameron's deputy chief of staff, received £100,000.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg's director of communications, Steve Lotinga, received £105,000.
Answering business questions in the Commons, the Leader of the House William Hague acknowledged there were more special advisers than there were under Labour, reflecting the "nature of coalition".
However he said their average pay was lower than it had been during the previous government.

I made this card below in tribute to Jayne for inspiring me to start on my stamping journey. I still have many of these mandala stamps in my stash along with more glitter than I will probably ever use.

With Deep Sadness
I made this card below in tribute to Jayne for inspiring me to start on my stamping journey. I still have many of these mandala stamps in my stash along with more glitter than I will probably ever use.
14 comments:
Sue, your card is absolutely beautiful and what a perfect tribute to such a lovely and talented lady. I remember watching Jayne many years ago doing her stamping, probably on C&C at that time, and she got me hooked too. God bless her and her family. I'm so glad that she got to see Barbra Gray showcasing her work again recently, it must have brought her great joy. It's a wonderful card Sue. Crafty hugs, Sandra xReplyDelete
Sue your card is beautiful. In fact it was Jayne that kicked of an obsession I had with glitter for a while. I still have some of that original top quality glitter and several favourite mandala stamps were purchased because of how Jayne showed they could be used. Your card is a beautiful tribute huni xxReplyDelete
Gorgeous card and wonderful tribute to someone that inspired you. Take care xxReplyDelete
How very sad. I was only thinking of Jayne the other day (fairy stamps). I am out of touch and didn't know she had been so poorly. This is a beautiful tribute to her Sue. She was such a lovely lady and true inspiration to so many.ReplyDelete
Hugs Flo x
What a very fitting tribute to Jayne! She was also the reason I started stamping, Christmas cards, stamped and glittered on acetate, I'd probably think twice before I did them now, but then I just went ahead and had a go.ReplyDelete
A gorgeous card Sue, a fitting tribute to a talented lady.ReplyDelete
what a wonderful tribute Sue - a stunning card that Jayne would have adored. Sending hugs! Rachel xReplyDelete
I was shocked to read that Jayne had passed away and didn't know that she was ill.ReplyDelete
I also have several mandala stamps through being inspired by Jayne in my very early days of crafting. Your card is a beautiful tribute to Jayne Sue. Hugs, Barbxx
Beautiful card Sue and such a lovely tribute to Jayne as well. She was so talented and I'm sure that many of us started our crafting journey partly due to her inspiration.ReplyDelete
Di xx
A gorgeous card, Sue, and a perfect tribute to a very talented lady. xxReplyDelete
It's so sad to see that such young and beautiful women lost her battle with cancer!! Although doctors can do a lot somethimes we loose! You made a beautiful card as tribute to this lady!! Take care dearSue!!ReplyDelete
Heartwarming tribute to a sad loss.xxReplyDelete
Beautiful tribute to a clever and talented lady. Wynn xReplyDelete
Lovely tribute Sue. I too was a Mandala fan and still have the stamps. Jayne was a lovely lady in every sense of the word. We will miss her.ReplyDelete

If people would accept the fact the U.S. Navy Supply Corps School is going to close, and start thinking positively, our community would be better served than by crying "wolf" about how hard the loss of the school will be on the local economy. By the way, I have a vested interest in what happens to the Navy School property, as I live 100 feet across the street from the Navy captain's house.

Let's visualize the possibilities for the Navy School tract. What about the potential that a branch of the Medical College of Georgia, under the leadership of Athens Regional Medical Center, could be operating from this site? Or an 18-hole golf course on the back 20 acres of the base property, to be run by the YMCA? Or a much-needed third high school for the Clarke County School District?
The site could also host a retirement "city" to cater specifically to the elderly's needs. The property now has a church, dining hall, grocery store, theater, dorms, a pool and other amenities. This concept would create hundreds of new jobs. And wouldn't this be a fabulous way to utilize the school's current facilities, while improving the quality of life of seniors?
If not that, the Athens-Clarke County government could move all of its operations to the 58-acre campus, making it possible for citizens to conduct business at a single location. Doing this would allow the local government to sell all its other buildings, which could reduce taxes by putting those buildings back on the tax rolls.
There should be a campaign to stimulate Athens-Clarke residents to submit suggestions for the Navy School property.
Look on the bright side. We won't have to deal with the military threatening to close the Navy School every few years. It's time to start a new chapter of growth.
