Mainland dating quotes
I get quite a few emails from guys dating Chinese women in America and Canada, and one of their biggest fears, apart from how to attract her, is that they will make a mistake in the dating process and really mess up their chances.
So, another fantastic tip in view of the fact that the mother in Chinese culture is so revered, is to emphasize your strong family ties and your view that family is very important, and this is especially so in view of yoona dating psychopath relationship to your own mother, this small piece of advice really cannot be underestimated!
It can be the difference between her making a physical-emotional commitment or not.
Now she may well be brought up in north-America, and there is a possibility that she is a bit different from mainland Chinese, but by my own estimation based on experience, it's still a seven out of ten ratio of Chinese females who dislike facial hair on a man in the west, compared to a nine out of ten ratio in mainland China.
In truth, understanding the cultural perspective that she's received from her parents and had reinforced by the Chinese community surrounding her, is quite important.
Firstly, even before you have asked for a date, you should make sure you are pretty clean-cut. It's a rare Chinese woman that likes the 'rough and ready' or grunge look.
Secondly, the Chinese women in question, although born in America or Canada, will still approximately have as much as about 35 to 40 percent mainland Chinese cultural conditioning as part of their personality which cannot be avoided. In mainland China it's pretty much only garbage men, farmers and poor artists that maintain facial hair.

The whiskey jar has undoubtedly become one of the Northern quarters favourite spots. This old textile mill has been beautifully restored with it's upstairs bar playing host to a range of popular nights.
Located at the new and thriving end of the Northern Quarter, The Whiskey Jar is a cocktail bar and live specialising in whisky and whiskey from all over the world. The main bar has over 400 whiskies and has a beautiful cocktail menu to please the most discerning of customers. We serve food until late with a selection of deli boards and locally made pies and scotch eggs from Beehive Food Manchester.

Expect big DJs and live artists over the weekend and community groups and presentations throughout the week. Something for everyone! The bar has less of a whisky focus, but has a great selection of beers and spirits nonetheless

This is an article from P1M3 How Profit is Created in the Pillar 1 Your Key Numbers.
A numbers example for the busy fool's syndrome.
Increasing Sales Values Can Be Unprofitable
In our break even graphs, the standard assumption is that as sales volumes increase, contribution increases.
Let's assume a business makes 40% contribution on its sales.
If sales are £500,000 then contribution is £200,000 (=500,000 *40%)
If sales are £1,000,000 then contribution is £400,000
If sales are £2,000,000 then contribution is £800,000
Sales and contribution increase proportionately as straight lines, separated by the variable cost percentage of sales.
Cutting Selling Prices To Force Growth
Growth may be slow and the business owner may decide to cut prices to create faster growth.
It's hard to think in terms of percentages and how things change without crunching through the numbers. This means that business owners often make their decisions with their "gut" and it can be very wrong.
Let's look what happens if the business owner is attracted to the idea of cutting prices by 10% to get a 20% increase in volume. On the face it, that sounds quite attractive.
Assuming variable costs stay the same…
A 10% reduction in selling price, reduces contribution from 40% to 33.3%.
The arithmetic for this is…
If sales were 100 and variable costs 60 before the price cut, giving 40 as the contribution, then after the price reduction sales are 90, variable costs are still 60 and contribution is 30 or 33.3% of sales (30/90)]
Then assume sales volume goes up by 20% because of the price reduction of 10%
Sales are now £1,080,000 – that's the starting point of £1,000,000 plus the 20% increase in volume of £200,000 less the price reduction of 10% on the total £1.2 million of "volume".
Contribution at the original prices on £1,000,000 at 40% is £400,000.
But after the growth strategy
Contribution on £1,080,000 at 33.3% is £360,000
Sales volumes have increased by £200,000 at normal prices value but only by £80,000 after the price reduction.
Contribution has reduced by £40,000, despite the 20% increase in volume.
- Increasing sales by £200,000 at 40% without the price reduction would have increased contribution by £80,000.
- The 10% price reduction reduced sales value and contribution by £120,000.
- The net effect of a 10% price cut to get 20% extra volume was a reduction in total contribution margin of £40,000
Don't worry about the arithmetic, things will become clearer as you become more familiar with the Cost Volume Profit model.
If you're not familiar with this financial logic, can you be confident that you haven't reduced price chasing extra sales volume and made yourself less profitable.
Even after crunching the numbers and profit it isn't true, a 10% price reduction to get a 20% volume increase when original margins are 40% sounds good to the emotional mind.

The Importance of Visual Context Clues in Multimedia Translation
As video-sharing websites such as YouTube proliferate, the ability to rapidly translate video clips into multiple languages has become an essential component for enhancing their global reach and impact. Moreover, the ability to provide closed captioning in a variety of languages is paramount to reach a wider variety of viewers. We investigate the importance of visual context clues by comparing transcripts of multimedia clips (which allow transcriptionists to make use of visual context clues in their translations) with their corresponding written transcripts (which do not). Additionally, we contrast translations produced using crowdsourcing workers with those made by professional translators on cost and quality. Finally, we evaluate several genres of multimedia to examine the effects of visual context clues on each and demonstrate the results through heat maps.

Woah. I dig what Image is doing with Glory.
You remember Glory - the Wonder Woman ripoff from the 1990s created by Rob Liefeld?
Well, she's back with a 'reboot' of sorts - and the first issue (issue #23, oddly enough) has already sold out, according to Image's website. Yowza.
Ross Campbell's art for the comic is sensational, looking very European and giving Glory a muscular look (she used to have more of a supermodel thing going).
I love this cover, which is the cover for #23's second printing. The comic itself premiers Feb. 15 (WEDNESDAY!).
|The new 'Glory' looking... well... 'Glorious'.

Skip to comments.CRUZ SEEKS TO PERMANENTLY BLOCK ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM ALL WELFARE
Posted on 05/08/2013 3:08:12 PM PDT by Jim Robinson
click here to read article
Damn straight. No welfare for illegals.
One good man DOES make a difference.
This should be a stand alone bill. Enforce the law!!
It's pretty sad actually that only one member of Congress has his head screwed on straight.
Ted Cruz is a breath of fresh air, God Bless him!!!
The weak point in his plan is the Judiciary.
Sen. Cruz gets it!
I hope his love for our country convinces others in D.C. to join him.
They will be on the road back to Mexico.
Giving illegal aliens welfare already violates a number of federal laws including those about giving aid to illegals.
Any new law would be ignored just the same.
Yes. Very very sad for the future of our country.
I liked the proposal that they could never acquire citizenship...meaning they cannot vote. THAT would make this whole thing FAIR!
Damn tootin' And where is McConnell and the rest of the 'GOP leadership'?? Crappin' their britches to get through their next paycheck/election.
Pathetic. Unfort. I have Rubio, one of the 8 back-stabbers....no chance to bend his ear.
This should be no problem. Rubio has assured us there will be no welfare for anyone legalized under his bill anyway.
Yup. You can bet your bottom dollar that as soon as they're granted "legal status" with or without citizenship, then they'll get all bennies and rights, including voting. The demoncrats (and McCain, et al) will demand it and the courts will push it through. Rubio is an idiot and traitor for crossing the aisle with this nation wrecking crap!
see my post 17 below.
Hell yeah, no free lunch.
The concern I have with this stipulation is does it pave a path for Cruz to vote 'yay'. If so, it would be a bad thing, as it potentially helps pass a bill that still has other unacceptable parts (ie, impenetrable southern border, anchor babies, etc). OTOH, if a "poison amendment" is found to kill the bill, that would be a good thing...

What could be more romantic than a naturally formed heart reef? It seems like it is destined from nature for you to visit this icon of the Whitsunday Islands and Great Barrier Reef. It is a fly-over spot popular with helicopter tours over the reef and islands and is a great snorkelling spot too. It is close to romantic resorts in the Whitsundays including the Qualia Resort, Palm Bungalows, the Pinnacles Resort, and the Airlie Waterfront Bed & Breakfast on the Queensland coast.

Hamilton Island is another beautiful location in the Whitsundays. It is home to the largest island resort of the Whitsunday Islands and is a fantastic luxury retreat. It is the definition of a romantic, luxury island holiday. You get to have your own piece of the island while you stay there; it is quiet and definitely romantic. However, if your idea of a honeymoon is action and adventure, there is always something happening on Hamilton Island including sporting events, festivals, and cultural events including the annual Hamilton Island Race Week Yachting Festival, Tropfest and the SB3 World Championships. If you are looking for a combination deal for your wedding and honeymoon, then Hamilton Island might be just the right fit, it is one of the most popular wedding locations with about 500 wedding ceremonies held each year at the 10 ceremony locations and 15 reception venues on the island. Love is definitely in the air on this beautiful island.
Hiring a Car near the Whitsunday Islands

Even though you wouldn't take your car rental to the Whitsunday Islands, it is still great to be able to get around the mainland on your own schedule and see the sights on your own timeline rather than waiting for tour buses or relying on taxis. At Budget Car Hire in Proserpine at the Whitsunday Coast Airport location, we can find the right car for all your holiday travel needs. You can stay on the mainland and hire day cruises or fishing charters, snorkel or dive boats, etc. Or you can choose to stay on one of the islands for the ultimate, intense reef excursion. Here are some other blog posts for holiday ideas near the Whitsunday Islands and the Great Barrier Reef:

Fraser Island is a unique island off the coast of Queensland just north of the capital of Brisbane. It is a large island at 160,000 hectares with plenty to see and do. It is the world's largest sand island, but what makes it unique is the variety of landscapes on the island including rainforests, eucalyptus woodland, mangrove forests, wallum and peat swamps, sand dunes, coastal heaths, The Pinnacles, creeks, and over 100 freshwater lakes.

Restricted stock backdating
Apple's 30-year history is divided into three phases: the golden early years in which Jobs and co-founder Steve Wozniak revolutionized the computer industry (1976-1985), the dark ages in which the company floundered after Jobs was ousted (1985-1997), and the glorious restoration (1997-present), in which Jobs ushered in a new golden age, making hip new computers and revolutionizing the music and entertainment industry with the i Pod. Employees love their visionary leader who has spread options throughout the company.
Which junior federal prosecutor will recommend indicting the guy who smashed the PC monopoly?Most employee stock options are, or purport to be, granted "at-the-money," meaning that the exercise price of the option equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant.The stock plans of many public companies prohibit the granting of below-market options; other companies disclose in their SEC reports that stock options are granted at market and prepare their financial statements on that basis.Under most circumstances, backdating is seen as fraudulent and illegal, although there are some situations in which backdating can be used in a legal and beneficial way, such as backdating a claim for a past period.Sometimes certain claims (such as insurance claims) can be backdated if the could not be completed at an earlier date, although there must be good reason for neglecting to claim in advance.But Apple makes clear that Jobs was directly involved in some instances of backdating.
The investigation "found that CEO Steve Jobs was aware or recommended the selection of some favorable grant dates." The committee hastens to add that Jobs "did not receive or financially benefit from these grants or appreciate the accounting implications." In other words, he didn't recommend backdating his own option grants.
He's a revered Hall of Famer who doesn't get whistled for fouls that send other pros to the bench. He is too popular—among investors, journalists, employees, analysts, and in the culture at large—for anyone to recommend that he be deposed. The scandals at Enron, World Com, Adelphia, and everywhere else ended the era of the rock-star CEO.
But Jobs is the lone exception, as revered today as he ever was.
As with Jordan, a different set of rules seems to apply to Jobs.
Backdating is dating any document by a date earlier than the one on which the document was originally drawn up.
The term "backdating" refers to a number of option granting practices in which the reported grant date is different from the date on which the option is actually awarded, resulting in an option that is already "in-the-money" at the time of the grant.

Hi all,
There are a few guides/woes about fake Gillette products but this one is really about the Fusion/Fusion Power blades...
I'm sure all the chaps are aware there are a number of auctions/sales for Gillette blades on ebay - various models, Mach3, Fusion, Fusion power etc. I recently purchased some Fusion Power blades from a UK based seller and was disappointed to say the least.
Why? Gillette are a great make and I got them cheaper here than in Asda, Boots, Tescos etc etc.. so why complain or write this guide?
Didn't the seller send them or, did they take a long time, or were the good damaged? Nope, the seller was great from those points of view, can't fault their service at all. So why am I here typing away like a madman verging on a Bill Hicks style rant then? I'll tell you why...
There have been alot of guides on the US and on the ebay.com site and the most eye opening one is fakeblades dot wordpress dot com (previously known as www dot fakeblades dot com). Check out the "Gillette Fusion Power cartridge comparison to a Countefeit" page. Wow. I didn't know about the serial numbers, nor did I think to ask the seller about where the blades came from, if they were rejects, seconds, etc.
Interesting update - check the "Do Gillette Fusion cartridges have serial numbers?" link as well...
The blades I bought had NO serial numbers, and I should have guessed when I used the first one and yelped in pain... It hurt, I mean HURT and I felt like I was back in school shaving for the first time with one of the nasty old Bic razors circa 1980 something... I couldnt think why this is, these are Gillette after all... This was using a quality King Of Shaves shaving gel (and the new serum which is awesome by the way!) and this is definitely not the culprit!
But, as usual, the old adage "If it looks too good to be true, it probably is..." comes into it. Yes yes I've seen watchdog, buyer beware and so on, and still I fell for the old "too good to be true but get it anyway, its cheeeep!". I thought , I don't like spending £10 on 4 blades when I could get double that here and cheaper so why should I go to Asda, Boots, Tescos etc? Well, I like keeping the skin on my face in one piece, that's why.
Please have a read of the rest of the fakeblades website, and have a think before being tempted by 8 more replacement blades for £5 or however much they are... Save yourself alot of pain (literally!!!) and buy them from Asda, Boots, Tescos etc - use your clubcard vouchers instead!
If you are tempted by one of these auctions, ask them where the blades came from, if they have opened a sample and what the serial numbers are. If they refuse or don't answer, don't buy. Period, keep walking.
I also acknowlegde there are alot of sellers who sell proper, store quality blades and this should not discourage you from checking their shops, auctions etc. I invite any sellers to reply and boast they have store quality products, all the better! :-)
Gillete Fusion/Fusion Power blades aren't the cheapest to buy in the shops, but hell, it's worth the extra quids to literally save face!
Hope this helps someone who has razor burns where there were none before... :)

11 things every woman wants in a husband
11 things every woman wants in a husband
I could not take my eyes off the guy who had just danced with me. I did not know his name until almost two years later, when I saw him again; Cristian. Before we met again, I search and searched, hoping that fate would let us cross paths. Luckily, we did meet again and are now married. It's now been over 10 years since I met the man who would become the love of my life. This same man has shared great moments with me. He has been by my side through difficult challenges. It's been 10 years of joy, tears and celebrations.
After 10 years, I've realized that there are 10 things I wouldn't change about my husband. These are things that I looked for in a husband when I was dating and am glad I have in my marriage. Though it hasn't always been easy, these 10 characteristics have made it worthwhile:
He loves
Marriage should always be based on love between two people. It is essential that a husband loves his wife above anything else, and that she does the same. To love your spouse every day, no matter how exhausted you are, shows your spouse and your family how much you value your marriage. Love should be consistently shown through words and actions.
He's a romantic
This can mean a few things, but marrying someone with a flair for romance will make it harder to get stuck in a routine. Marriage can lose the spark, but not if a romantic gesture or love note is there to brighten your day. A husband who will surprise you with a letter, a flower or even a long kiss in the morning is going to keep you happy.
He learns from change
We all know the saying "All change is for the better," but humans seem to be creatures of habit. If your man knows that change gives him the opportunity to be better, snatch him up quick. Life won't go just as planned, so marry someone who is willing to be flexible and adaptable.
For him, housework is a two-person task
Wouldn't it be lovely to marry someone who split up responsibilities? No one wants to be the only one who does the washing, ironing, cleaning, cooking and organizing. Having a partner that will share these responsibilities will build your marriage into a happy one.
He forgives (and forgets)
To err is human, but to forgive is divine. Forgiveness makes us better people, and forgetting the mistake means we aren't dwelling on the past. Everyone makes mistakes, but the fact that someone is willing to recognize a mistake and apologize is going to avoid a lot of heartache. Of course, this is a two-way street — you will need to do the same.
He lets you in on what he's thinking
Marriage is between two people, so naturally there are going to be some differences. Communication is going to be key in any relationship, so find a husband that is going to be open about what he's feeling and thinking. Decisions in marriage should be mutual, but that can't happen if secrets are being kept.
He's a teacher
You don't literally need to marry a teacher, but marry someone who does teach. If you choose to have children together, won't you want your kids to be taught appropriate values? Teach your children to be moral, honest and responsible. Your husband can help you influence and teach your children. Marry someone whose legacy is worth teaching to the next generation.
He cooks
OK, so this isn't a requirement, but marrying someone who helps you in the kitchen can be both helpful and fun.
He shares your interests
Obviously your husband is going to have his own goals and hobbies, as do you, but marrying someone who is willing to try things you are interested in will add a whole new level of commitment.
He gives you butterflies
Don't underestimate how you feel around your man. Hold onto someone who you want to kiss and hug, and who makes you feel good. That love and affection will be present all through your marriage.
He deserves you
This may be the most important quality. Marry someone who loves you, who deserves you and who wants to be with you. Don't settle for someone who is going to put his needs above yours. Marriage is wonderful, but it can also be difficult. Be with someone who wants to be with you through the good and the bad.

Fairfax County's watchdog agency for consumer rights has been so poorly run that some top managers falsified records, spent public money lavishly, rewarded favored employees and intimidated others who complained about the mismanagement, records and interviews show.
Interviews with more than 20 current and former employees and county officials and a review of thousands of pages of documents obtained under Virginia's open records law reveal a department that in recent years has been in turmoil with little oversight. The agency's finance director, for example, was fired this spring for running a tax business out of her office and having an aide baby-sit her son during work hours -- allegations she denies.
The problems at the Department of Cable Communications and Consumer Protection so alarmed county officials that they ordered a criminal investigation and a top-to-bottom audit, which resulted in the sudden retirement of the department's director and demotions of two other top managers, in addition to the finance director's firing.
"We had a situation here where a hostile climate had been allowed to develop, with management by intimidation," said Board of Supervisors Chairman Gerald E. Connolly (D), who, with County Executive Anthony H. Griffin, has ordered reviews of county policies on travel, purchasing and ethics.
The problems developed even as Fairfax was winning national plaudits for management and county supervisors were slashing funds for human services, libraries and parks to balance the budget and provide relief from exploding property taxes.
It's not the first time that management failures have embarrassed Fairfax. Two embezzlements by county workers at other agencies went undetected for years and cost taxpayers more than $2.7 million.
Some supervisors said the latest failures reflect a bureaucracy grown unwieldy and hard to manage now that Fairfax has topped 1 million residents, its workforce has reached 11,500 and its budget exceeds $2.7 billion. Similar problems could become harder to prevent and detect as Washington's largest suburb continues to grow, some supervisors worry. County officials need to improve oversight and their methods of reporting problems, they said.
"You've got the problem of one county executive trying to oversee thousands of people," said Supervisor Elaine N. McConnell (R-Springfield), who went to Griffin about the consumer protection office after employees complained to her. "Department heads need to be more accountable. Something's wrong with the system when one department can go completely to pieces and nobody knew it."
McConnell said 18 employees told her independently of their concerns and said that agency managers and county personnel officials either ignored them or somehow retaliated against them. The climate was one of "total intimidation by managers whose motive was power," McConnell said. She called the problems symptomatic of a system where rank and file workers have nowhere to go to report mismanagement.
Indeed, with 120 employees and an annual budget of $31 million, the department is typical within the county bureaucracy. It has a high profile, however, overseeing such crucial services as the regulation of cable television. It is also where residents go to seek protection from high utility rates, gouging by landlords and contractors and poor cable service.
Griffin said he dealt with the problem immediately and forcefully. But he acknowledged that a bureaucracy as large as Fairfax's requires him to give managers latitude and discretion. "We try not to micromanage," he said. Rather than poor oversight, the problems "related to human relations" issues and could have occurred anywhere, he said. However, Griffin is updating the county's ethics code, unchanged since the 1960s, in part because of the audit.
He also said a regulation in the county's personnel code protects employees who complain about their bosses. But one manager in the department was demoted for violating that rule, he said.
'An Ugly Time'
As director of the cable and consumer protection department since 1978, Ronald B. Mallard, 58, led an agency whose public profile grew as the county's cable provider, Cox Communications, launched a rocky upgrade that prompted thousands of service complaints. Yet many on Mallard's staff and some county officials perceived him as a disengaged manager who often arrived at the office late and left early.
After the audit, Griffin forced Mallard to retire or face suspension, high-level county sources said. Mallard stepped down May 14 after 31 years with the county. He said that he wasn't forced out and that his departure "was purely my decision."
"It was kind of an ugly time to continue to be there," he said.
In the office and on the road, Mallard made time-consuming commitments to outside professional associations, representing Fairfax on the boards of several national and state organizations in the fast-changing telecommunications industry, his appointment calendar and internal files show.
He co-founded a Miami-based company eight months ago that mediates disputes between cable companies and regulators and conducted conference calls during the regular work day, his calendar shows. Griffin and Mallard's boss, Chief Information Officer David J. Molchany, said Mallard did not seek permission to help start and run his own business, as required by county policy. Mallard said that before his retirement, he was not yet on the payroll of Communications Dispute Resolutions.
Mallard, whose salary was $118,750, defended his record in an interview shortly before his retirement. His work for outside associations dealt with "issues critical to county and local government," he said, and did not detract from his job.
Griffin acknowledged that Mallard told him his commitments to outside groups would be time-consuming. "Certainly we can't have department heads gone every week . . . But it's helped us stay informed about a lot of issues," Griffin said.
Mallard said he always worked a full day. "What [didn't] get done during the day got done at the end of the day. . . . I never withdrew" from the management of the agency. He said he had trust in his managers and was not aware of any problems.
"No one said, "We're having ugly times down here in the [consumer] investigation division,' " Mallard said.
Work Hours Questioned
County auditors who interviewed more than 40 current and former employees found evidence of time and attendance fraud, some of which had been reported to Mallard but not investigated further, said county supervisors and other officials.
Carolyn Quetsch, director of consumer protection; chief of investigations Deborah I. Stern; and finance director Denise J. Gould hired several of their friends and neighbors and a relative of Stern's as temporary aides and consumer investigators, then allowed some of them to set their own hours, the county officials said.
Last June, Quetsch registered herself and four colleagues for a conference of consumer agency administrators in the District, a tab that reached $2,645, records show. She spent $545 more to stay downtown at the Renaissance Hotel for four nights instead of driving the 24 miles to her home in Chantilly, a violation of the county's travel policy.
"To be reimbursed for a hotel in downtown Washington is just bad judgment," Connolly said.
Quetsch and Stern, through the county's public affairs department, declined to comment. Molchany said Griffin demoted both to other departments and stripped them of their supervisory duties. Still, county policy requires that they continue to be paid the same salaries, despite the demotions. Quetsch's salary is $93,452 and Stern's $68,874.
Quetsch's travel vouchers were approved by Mallard, records show. Mallard, meanwhile, took 26 out-of-town trips himself from 1999 to 2003, records show, from information technology symposiums at Disney World to gatherings of cable administrators in Santa Fe, N.M., Los Angeles and other cities. He often stayed at resort hotels. For Mallard's four-day attendance at a conference last October, for example, the county paid $344 a night to the Walt Disney World Swan Resort.
Another manager, Johnny Hodge, spent almost $7,000 to replace his county-issued office furniture with leather chairs, a double-pedestal desk, a mahogany bookcase and a walnut credenza, records show, just weeks after he was hired. Hodge, who had been brought in to run the document services division, said the purchases were requested by an office assistant, but records show he requested and signed off on them.
"Whatever the county's standard was, that's what I wanted," he said. Hodge's division was not a subject of the audit, which focused on the consumer protection office, but he was demoted for poor management skills, county officials said, and is now in charge of the copier program.
Despite his demotion, Hodge continues to be paid $94,501.
Elsewhere in the department, some employees falsified their time sheets with their supervisors' approval, reporting hours never worked; others put in for compensatory time that was not properly authorized, the officials said. Meanwhile, some employees were not permitted to earn comp time, a coveted benefit that translates into cash and can be accrued until retirement.
Patricia Graninger, who was hired by Gould as her administrative assistant, said she found herself baby-sitting for her boss's son.
"Denise told me, 'I can get you a good job with good pay,' " said Graninger, who met Gould when they were employed by Washington Gas Co. Graninger said she was out of the office baby-sitting all day one day last July, but her time sheet shows she worked eight hours.
"What was going on there was definitely wrong," she said. "At Washington Gas, you work for the stockholders, but when you work for the county, you're working for the taxpayers." Graninger, who said she was hired without an interview, was fired last fall after nine months.
Gould was fired in April for using Graninger as her personal assistant and for running an outside tax business from her office.
Her attorney, Peter Maignan, denied that any of her staff performed personal duties on county time or that his client was preparing tax returns during work hours. Her performance reviews in recent years "said she walked on water," Maignan said.
The county's grievance board upheld Gould's firing this month. Maignan said he is considering a lawsuit to have her reinstated.
Complaints Ignored
McConnell asked county police to look into possible irregularities in the agency last fall. While that investigation did not lead to criminal charges, Griffin determined that the problems were serious enough to warrant an audit. The "special investigation" was conducted in December and January by two of 12 auditors who review county departments and probe allegations of fraud.
Among the former managers interviewed by the auditors was attorney Deirdre Hammer, who worked as deputy chief of consumer investigations. She said she told Mallard three times that Quetsch directed her to pad the time sheets of four employees. "She hired her friends and put them under my supervision," Hammer said. "She created the policy as she went." She also said she told Mallard and the auditors that Quetsch and other managers allowed their friends to set their own schedules, while they were abusive toward others under their supervision.
Hammer said Mallard ignored her complaints. She was fired for insubordination after receiving several reprimands for swearing and failing to close cases quickly. She says her firing was in retaliation. Mallard, however, denied that he "kicked Deirdre back to anyone in management." He said he asked her to "come back to me with more specifics." She was fired because of her own conduct toward Stern, her supervisor, Mallard said.
Griffin has declined to release the audit or its findings, calling the report a private "working paper" and not a public document.
Since the audit and Mallard's retirement, Molchany has appointed an acting director from inside the county, Gail Eskew, to lead the agency. He said he will conduct a national search to fill the job permanently.
"I want a department head that is extremely involved with the day-to-day . . . a more tactical leader," Molchany said. "That really is a change."
Griffin called the consumer protection division a "Peyton Place." But he said he is satisfied that the internal problems did not affect the way investigators responded to public complaints. Once he became aware of the problems, he quickly addressed them, he said.
"I don't condone hostile work environments," Griffin said. "As soon as the problems became apparent, we attempted to remedy them."

So we've had a few frosts. One at the allotment, but not at the house!
I have laid a few pavers (lazily, straight onto the ground) so the raspberries are easier to access, and won't get so overgrown next year. The Tulameen didn't take so I have replanted with some Glen Ample – hopefully these ones will fare better. I've had to cut back some of the other rasps early as they had developed a strange black spore on the leaves. Very annoying.
Otherwise, I've generally been tidying up and planning for next year. One of my strategies is to write what I've planted in each raised bed on the side to make sure I'm keeping my crop rotation (vaguely) going.
Next project is getting the garlic in asap, so more soon….

Monday morning began, in Adaptive Art, with an exploration of color! We used this fun color (science) experiment to learn about primary colors.
We learned that primary colors can not be created through the mixing of any other colors. Combined, our Primary colors create our secondary colors.
Using our magic wand (Q-tip) we watched as each of our primary colors mixed to create a secondary color. (Orange, Green, and Purple)
For this exploration in color, you will need:
- A flat tray (or plate)
- Food coloring, we used blue, red, and yellow (our primary colors)
- Milk (whole milk works best)
- Liquid soap (used for washing dishes)
- A Q-tip
1. Carefully pour your milk into your tray or plate.
2. Add about 6 drops of food coloring. We were learning about primary colors, so we mixed drops of blue and red, blue and yellow, and yellow.
3. Dip your Q-tip in soap, and place in the middle of your food coloring. The explosion of color will happen next!
4. To clean up, carefully pour your colorful milk (don't drink) down the drain.

Thank you KP for releasing an email conversation had by a Justin (not from SITS) and Benjamin Fulford regarding some of what Veterans Today has been releasing. We are in the information war and as KP states:
"Disinfo is coming strong and heavy, so use that Inner Discernment Module and see what resonates with your innards."

It is important to remember that The Truth is Singular, meaning there is one truth but infinite perspectives, and as such person's truth is part of the whole. Instead of focusing on one person's version of truth, I suggest we take in all points of view and use our discernment to weave them into a holistic framework of understanding.
[Ben Fulford] "Gordon Duff once admitted the pentagon had surrendered to George Bush Sr. and he also once admitted he had to put out disinformation so I know he is a controlled source. However, I… think for the most part he is trying to do the right thing."The Boston bombing and the Baltimore riots are clearly exercises aimed at establishing the feasibility of implementing martial law."…the fact that the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland etc. agreed to sign up with the AIIB is a sign the Chinese are working with certain Western cabal factions… Who is not working with the Chinese are the Wall Street and Washington DC Khazarian Mafiosi and their Japanese slaves like Shinzo Abe."

Instagram for Android has recently got a new update. After the update (V22.214.171.124.83), the app will let you know when you are caught up with all the posts from the last two days whenever you are scrolling your timeline. When you are totally up to date, the app will show you a notification which would read "You're all caught up".
As per the Instagram's official blog, this new feature will help you stay updated.
Today, you'll start noticing a "You're All Caught Up" message when you've seen every post from the last two days. We've heard that it can be difficult to keep track of your seen posts. With this message, you'll have a better understanding of your Feed and know you haven't missed recent photos or videos.
Instagram shifted to a non-chronological algorithm for its posts timeline a little while ago in order to ensure maximum user engagement. But, the feature was not taken well by a lot of users who want their posts to be shown in a chronological order.
Truth be told, this new feature is not likely to solve any purpose as we still won't be able to make use of a chronology-based timeline. Still, if you want to check the feature out, Instagram has started rolling it out to both iOS as well as Android. Instagram is rolling out a lot of new features lately. Recently, a new update was pushed post which you can ask a question of your own choice in someone's Story.
Till now, you could interact with someone's stories in the form of a poll or a smiley slider which was up to the discretion of the poster. You could message the Story owner personally, but that would require another extra step. Now, you can directly fire the Story with a question of your choosing.
The questions are open-ended and there is no word limit on them. You can ask as long a question as you want. The image above, for instance, shows an option to roast a poster's Story.

Mesothelioma Attorneys in Dallas
Pleural Disease and Pleural Mesothelioma
After extended exposure to asbestos, many individuals develop serious medical issues including pleural disease and pleural mesothelioma. These types of cancers may take up to 10 years for symptoms to develop, but the effects on your body are irreparable.
What Is Pleural Disease?
Pleural disease is a nonmalignant cancer caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibers that scar the pleura—the thin membrane that lines the lungs. Depending on the type of scarring, pleural disease may be known as pleural thickening (scarring extends the chest wall) or pleural plaques (focused, well-defined scarring).
Both forms of pleural disease impair the proper functioning of the lungs and may cause shortness of breath. Although the symptoms can be treated, the disease is progressive over time and currently has no cure. Unfortunately, signs of the disease may not appear for up to 10 years following exposure and is commonly diagnosed alongside asbestosis.
What Is Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma?
Pleural mesothelioma is the malignant cancer that may develop in patients who were exposed to asbestos and are currently suffering with pleural disease. Once the disease has been diagnosed, it can be fatal in up to 1 year; however, there are treatment options available to extend the initial prognosis. There is no cure for malignant pleural mesothelioma, but options such as surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and alternative therapies can be used.
Contact Our Experienced Asbestos Attorneys
Exposure to asbestos has caused severe medical problems for thousands of Americans including the development of various cancers such as pleural mesothelioma, esophageal cancer, and colon cancer. At Smith Clinesmith, LLP, our asbestos bankruptcy lawyers are dedicated to helping you fight for the compensation you deserve for your wrongful exposure to asbestos by filing a personal injury claim against asbestos bankruptcy trusts. Contact our mesothelioma attorneys in Dallas today to discuss your medical condition that arose from asbestos exposure.

FE-SEM Series Offers Sub-nanometer Imaging, Sub-100-nm Analysis
The JSM-7100F series of field emission scanning electron microscopes (FE-SEM) from Jeol USA offers expanded imaging and analysis capabilities customizable to performance requirements.

[211] PC Mental Health
Legions of pundits, all practicing psychiatry without a license, have decided that Trump is mentally unstable, and hence, hope they might be able to use the 25th Amendment to unseat the despised 45th President. What is curious is that amid these charges no real clinical definition of mental health is rendered, and the alleged instability is not described in anything approaching clinical terms associated with mental dysfunction. All this does not, however, mean these armchair psychiatrists do not have at least an implied definition of mental health. One very non-clinical one surely does exist among the Trump critics. It is simply this: Mental health is exemplified by behavior that aligns with political correctness, while dysfunction is measured by the degree of deviation from this standard. By that bizarre definition–and nothing else–Donald Trump is not only unstable, he is crazy. DC

Another detective to follow.
I enjoy police procedurals and thrillers with strong characters: Roy Grace, Simon Serrailler, Maeve Kerrigan, Jane Tennison, Morse and so on. So it was great to discover a new one with a stack of books to go for.
DI Bill Slider and his team from Shepherds Bush are a great bunch. Slider is intelligent, thoughtful and actually works out the riddles of the initial murder and its victim, when all is definitely not as it seems. He's a solid detective, much cleverer than his superiors but passed over for propmotion as he fails to promote himself and his abilities. We also have an insight into the domestic life of Slider and Atherton, his sergeant.
This story is a clever web of pretence and lies, with the team having to crack the case as those linked to it have a nasty habit of ending up dead.
Good plot, well written and I thought the narration was OK, although sometimes it's a bit hard to differentiate between the characters, although it doesn't spoil the enjoyment. Unfortunately, many of the early books in the series are not available in Audible but it's easy to catch up, so not too much of a problem. I'll be returning for more.

Molly and Clara – 9 Monthsinquiring chef
There were definitely days early in my pregnancy when this moment seemed like a distant dream. Today (they are exactly 9 months old today ) Molly and Clara have been here with us for as long as I was pregnant. Back when I was six weeks pregnant and petting water buffalo in upcountry Thailand (in hindsight, probably not my best decision), I couldn't picture what this time in my life would be like. And yet it feels like it snuck up on me so quickly.
It has been such a fun month with Molly and Clara. A week ago, I came home from work and I swear they had changed. Suddenly I saw little girls in their faces rather than babies. Seriously – it felt like it happened that fast. For the first time they seemed to both understand so much of what was happening around them. They seem more observant, more silly, more patient (ish..kind of). Though, still not terribly content with their lack of…ummm…mobility. No crawling, no standing. But man do they want to get themselves around! The frustration is palpable.
