A three-day gathering of 70 selected people beginning in Nelson today will discuss recreational fishing's place in New Zealand and how to have a strong voice in its future.
The FISHinFuture Search has been in development for the past six months, and will draw together people from the fishing, boating, underwater, scientific and retail communities as well as government, iwi and fishing media representatives. Environmentalists and people from the seafood and tackle industries will also be attending.
It will use the "future search" method co-developed by the event's US-based facilitator, Dr Sandra Janoff, who has been brought to New Zealand to run it.
Project manager Miranda O'Connell said the group was coming together so a diverse range of people could share ideas, debate them and plan the next steps. "The Future Search method has been used successfully all around the world, from Uganda to Northern Ireland, to deal with challenging situations," she said.
The event, being held at the Monaco Resort, is being described as a "national conversation . . . to chart a new path for our fishing future".
The FISHinFuture Search website shows that the event was initiated by the New Zealand Recreational Fishing Council (NZRFC) in mid-2011, with the council stepping back and handing over planning to a multi-stakeholder steering committee early last year.
The website says the committee met to identify a cross section of Kiwi anglers and others with an interest in sustainable fishing, and applied pre-agreed criteria to select 72 participants from a large pool of applicants.
The committee's members include The Fishing Paper editor Daryl Crimp, of Nelson.

New documentary 'Sarah Palin: You Betcha' like shooting fish in a barrel - VIDEO
Endless line of Palin detractors take aim
British filmmaker Nick Broomfield has filmed a new documentary about the thriller from Wasilla titled Sarah Palin—You Betcha! and the film just had its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival this week.
Composed of in rumor, insinuation and the delightfully cheap theatrics of the director himself, the film combs the icy streets of Wasilla to score interviews with the seemingly endless of line of people who detest her personally or politically (or both).
Among the disgruntled are a man she defeated for the Wasilla mayorship, or the Democratic state senate president during her aborted governorship, seasoned with a few former deeply disgruntled employees.
Broomfield tracks down Tank Jones, who describes himself as Levi Johnston's agent. Jones informs him he wants $20,000 for a conversation with Levi that might talk about drugs in the Palin house and the other lovers of Sarah and Todd.

Sarah Palin documentary 'The Undefeated' fares poorly at box office
Broomfield offers the knockoff price of $500. What that buys is an interview with Levi's sister. What he discovers is the Palin families talent for getting into feuds with almost everyone they encounter.
Broomfield spends most of the film trying to land an interview with Palin herself, unsuccessfully o course. He does manage to approach her at a book signing to shout out: 'Do you think your political career is over?'
Minutes later he is escorted out of the book store.
Too slight to do more than mildly entertain her detractors and too kooky to worry her supporters, it remains to be seen who its audience will be when it opens.

Now animals fall victim to China toxic milk scandal as officials admit cover-up during Olympics
The 'tainted milk' scandal, which has claimed the lives of four infants and left more than 50,000 children ill in China, is now putting zoo animals in danger.
Two orangutans, aged one and three, and a lion cub are now reported to be showing signs of kidney stones after being fed the milk powder for more than a year.
The animals are from the Hangzhou Safari Park World near Shanghai.
An orangutan cub named Liu Mao is checked for kidney stones in an animal hospital in China
All had been fed with milk powder made by the Sanlu Group, which is at the centre of the scandal in which 53,000 children in China have become sick.
The news came with the revelation that Chinese officials, suppressing 'bad news' during the Olympic games, had ordered a cover-up of the scandal.
Four babies have already died from conditions brought on by drinking the milk - which was contaminated by melamine, a compound used in making plastics and added to cheat nutrition tests.
A spokesman for Hangzhou Safari Park said: 'The milk powder crisis made us very worried about the health situation of baby animals.
'We stopped feeding with Sanlu after it was found to be tainted.'
The company has said the infants became sick after drinking milk contaminated by melamine, a compound used in making plastics and added to cheat nutrition tests.
'The crystallisation now is very small, but it will grow bigger and then block the urine,' Zhang Xu, a doctor from the animal hospital where the two gorillas were being treated, was quoted as saying.
'No visible stones have been found so far,' Zhang added.

Kidney stones are small, solid masses that form when salts or minerals normally found in urine crystallise inside the kidney.
If they become large enough, they can move out of the kidney, cause infection and lead to permanent kidney damage.
The World Health Organisation and UNICEF said today China's contaminated milk powder scandal was 'deplorable' as more countries in Asia and Europe banned imports of Chinese milk products.
Beijing is battling public alarm and international dismay after close to 13,000 Chinese children became ill enough to crowd the hospitals.
'Deliberate contamination of foods intended for consumption by vulnerable infants and young children is particularly deplorable,' the World Health Organisation and UNICEF, the United Nations agency for children, said in a joint statement.
An ill baby receives treatment at a Chinese hospital yesterday. More than 54,000 babies have been affected by the toxic milk scandal
But the two agencies said Beijing's plan to overhaul its food safety would help prevent a recurrence.
'We are confident that swift and firm actions are being taken by China's food safety authorities to investigate this incident fully.'
The WHO and UNICEF also urged mothers to breast feed their infants, a need further underscored by 'alarming examples' of tainted formula scandals in China and around the world.
While the scandal has triggered arrests and official sackings in China, the repercussions began to spread overseas.
Taiwan Health Minister Lin Fang-yue tendered his resignation after 25 tonnes of potentially tainted milk powder were imported to the island, the Taiwanese Central News Agency reported.
China's poor track record in coming clean on past product safety scandals including toys, toothpaste, pharmaceutical and pet food ingredients has seriously dented the country's credibility.
Despite Beijing's reassurances its milk products are now safe and the situation was under control, several countries continued to take steps against milk imports from there.
India became the largest and most populous country to announce a ban on Chinese milk and milk products today, with the ban to remain in force for three months.
Filipino officials inspect imported bottled milk products from China in Manila
Vietnam and Nepal halted sales of all Chinese milk products and would now increase testing of such imports. Vietnam health officials warned tainted Chinese milk may have been sold in its remote, impoverished central region.
South Korea started from yesterday to recall products with melamine after the Korea Food and Drug Administration found tainted rice cookies made for a South Korean confectionary by one of its divisions in China.
Singapore said it had tested melamine in five more products including two Dutch Lady fruit-flavoured milk products.
Kraft Foods took out a full-page advertisement in Singapore's Straits Times newspaper to say its Oreo products were safe and did not contain milk ingredients from China.
Global coffee giant Starbucks said it had started using fresh milk from a Hong Kong milk supplier in 55 of its stores in southern China, ditching its usual China supplier.
In Europe, France banned all food items containing Chinese milk products. The European Food Safety Authority is expected to announce this week whether processed items containing milk products from China pose a risk.
In the latest update by China's quality control agency on its website (www.aqsiq.gov.cn), it said 235 samples of carton milk and drinking yoghurt produced since Sept. 14 and sold across the country had shown no signs of the toxic chemical melamine.
Nitrogen-rich melamine can be added to substandard or watered-down milk to fool quality checks, which often use nitrogen levels to measure the amount of protein in milk.
The chemical is used in pesticides and in making plastics.
So far, four deaths have been blamed on kidney stones and agonising complications caused by the toxic milk.

"In an exercise of intellectual honesty it would have been appropriate to link to Salam Al-Marayati's entire column instead of selecting one quote then launch into a rant. It would have been even more appropriate if Al-Marayati's latest column on Rifqa Bary, your most recent 'Let's-Save-the-Muslim-Teen-Girl-From-the-Bloodthirsty-Muslims' poster child (Mmm, it's always teen girls, isn't it?), was included." -- from a Jihad Watch poster here.
If what I had selected to discuss had been a passage ripped out of a context that endowed it with a meaning different from what it so clearly is, then this charge might, just might, have some validity. But the passage in question, that I chose to hold up for inspection, was not ripped out of such a context. It was, in fact, a perfect example of an attempt to deceive Infidel readers, the readers at the Huffington Post for whom Al-Marayati has such contempt. For he assumes they not only do not know, but will remain so permanently incurious as not to be moved to find out, the relevant contents of the Islamic texts -- Qur'an, Hadith, and Sira -- and the rulings of Muslim jurisconsults. His attempt to wrap-Islam-in-the-flag-of-American-patriotism is absurd, for in Islam Believers are inculcated with the clear idea that they owe their allegiance, their sole allegiance, to Islam, and to fellow members of the Umma.
By Muslim I mean the many True Believers, and not the handful of those who are merely "cultural Muslims" -- that is, those who no longer accept the faith, and refuse to believe much of it, but nonetheless, for obvious reasons (fear or filial piety), do not declare that falling-away. You cannot be a True Muslim and a true patriot who is loyal to the legal and political institutions of whatever Infidel nation-state you happen to live in. You may describe yourself as working for the "betterment" (ah, what a word for Salam Al-Marayati, or whoever helps him with his prose, to use) of that nation-state, but that must mean, if you take Islam to heart (and Salam Al-Marayati certainly does), that you will work to make America a place where Infidel ways, and Infidel obstacles to the spread of Islam -- including the Constitution of the United States, which the spirit and the letter of Shari'a flatly contradict -- are swept aside.
For another example of such a contradiction, at a transnational level, compare carefully the individual rights that are guaranteed -- freedom of speech, freedom of conscience -- in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, with the "Islamic" version that was concocted in order to offer the world a version that seems to suggest that Muslims, too, believe in similar guarantees. But the Cairo Declaration, as any careful comparison of the two documents will show, substitutes for the most important guarantees of individual rights other, collective rights, and only those that conform to the Shari'a. That means that the most important parts of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are, in the Cairo version, now screamingly absent.
And then the Jihad Watch reader quoted above makes the demand -- this is all by way of not answering a single one of my points, but merely engaging in the usual rhetorical distraction -- that I should also have included another column by Al-Marayati, one which I had not seen and was unaware of. This column is about Rifqa Bary, and the reader argued that I should have included it on the grounds that... well, on the grounds that that topic has been discussed at JW. It has, but not by me -- I haven't written a word about it, not because it is not of interest, but because I tend to write on other issues, those that most affect the construction of policies that attempt to deal with, or refuse to deal with, the matter of Jihad -- that is, the struggle to remove all obstacles to the spread, and then the dominance, of Islam. That is why I tend to write about Iraq and the squandering there, Afghanistan and the squandering there, Pakistan and the squandering there. I am under no obligation, in making a point about the colubrine hiss of Al-Marayati's huffington-puffingtons, to discuss in the very same article this and that aspect of his Defense of the Faith.
But since the reader mentioned his column on Rifqa Bary, let us examine it. It is written in that pseudo-casual tone that is designed to make unwary non-Muslim readers think that the whole story of Rifqa Bary is simply one of quite unnecessary hysteria whipped up by the usual suspects, those mad-dog Christians (the story is titled "Rifqa, the Reverand [sic] and Apostasy" and not, as it should be, "Rifqa, the Qur'an and Apostasy").
Let us hold up for inspection one of Salam Al-Marayati's assertions in this piece. It is intended to deflect attention from the Islamic source for Rifqa Bary's fear, and her imperilment.
First, of course, there is the obvious hint, and more than a hint, of Tu Quoque:
Fathima Rifqa Bary, who goes by Rifqa, is a 17-year-old from Columbus, Ohio who ran away from home -- not an uncommon occurrence for 17-year-olds.
Got that? Lots of 17-year-old girls run away from home. They don't have to be Muslim to run away from home. Everyone's doing it. But here's the point that Salam Al-Marayati wants you, as you read his sly little piece, to forget: No non-Muslim girl is running away from home because she believes she is being threatened with death, a mortal punishment to be inflicted by her own parents, because she has given up the faith she was born into through no fault of her own. That is the key point, and that is what Salam Al-Marayati wishes you to overlook.
And then there is a second bit of Taqiyya, in which Salam Al-Marayati tries to liken death for apostasy to the death sentence that non-Muslim countries mete out -- after lengthy investigation and trial -- for treason during wartime. Here is how Salam Al-Marayati puts it:
Centuries ago, the apostasy law was actually a treason law, created to address what should happen when a soldier in a Muslim army converts to the other side and then fights against a Muslim country. That's the equivalent of an American working for the Soviet Union during the Cold War, or for the Nazis in World War II. Under U.S. law, treason is punishable by death. Now, state authorities in Florida and Ohio will have to clear up the mess and determine Rifqa's residence. Her father, Mohamed Bary, has a strong endorsement by Sgt. Jerry Cupp of the Columbus Police Department. Cupp told the Associated Press that Bary "comes across to me as a loving, caring, worried father about the whereabouts and the health of his daughter."
Notice two things. Al-Marayati wants you to believe that the "apostasy law was actually a treason law" -- but that was "centuries ago." The clear implication is that that is no longer the case. But it is still the case, and Al-Marayati knows that perfectly. The law of apostasy in Islam has not undergone some transformation; it remains exactly what it has been during the entire 1350-year history of Islam. When Salam Al-Marayati writes that "centuries ago" such and such was the rule, he is deceptively holding out hope that the Islamic law of apostasy has changed. But it hasn't. And if he wishes to make the argument that it has, he will have to deal not with the contributors to this website, nor with the Western scholars of Islam -- see, e.g., Samuel Zwemer's The Law of Apostasy in Islam, nor with the many brave apostates who have dared to tell the truth about Islam in the relative safety of the West (though Wafa Sultan has, disgracefully, not been provided by the American government with guards and must live largely in hiding).
No, it is not even with Wafa Sultan, or Ibn Warraq, or Ali Sina, or Ayaan Hirsi Ali, or Magdi Allam, or hundreds of others less known, or tens or even hundreds of thousands of former Muslims, now apostates, who may speak only to a few close friends about the physically dangerous choice they have made, with whom Salam Al-Marayati must reckon. What he must reckon with is Muslim scholars in the West -- not apostates -- such as M. Cherif Bassiouni and many others. For Bassiouni has affirmed that the traditional position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence is that apostasy merits death.
And then, too, Salam Al-Marayati has to tell us how his attempt to disguise, through the practice of such arts of dissimulation as Taqiyya and Tu Quoque, the punishment today (the same as the punishment yesterday, or a thousand years ago) for apostasy from Islam would be regarded by imams and muftis and Islamic scholars all over the Middle East, when they address, as they mostly do, audiences of fellow Muslims, and are not carefully tailoring their words for eavesdropping Infidels.
But beyond the Tu Quoque, the most important, and certainly the most disgusting, part of Salam Al-Marayati's article on Rifqa Bary can be found here:
She argues "it's in the Quran". No it's not, sweet little Rifqa. It's not in the Quran. Whoever told you that is either ignorant or a liar. You should look it up yourself before claiming it's in the Quran. Rev. Lorenz is then quoted in a local television station report saying that if a Muslim leaves his religion and does not return to Islam in a couple of days, then he must be killed. He claims that someone showed him the verse. There is no such verse, Rev. Lorenz. In every faith, apostasy is shunned but ultimate judgment is left to God, not people.
Note the obscene condescension -- Al-Marayati, safe and sound, holding up for mockery a 17-year-old girl who has every reason to believe her parents, and her mosque, of that phrase "No it's not, sweet little Rifqa. It's not in the Qur'an."
In the first place, Salam Al-Marayati knows better than anyone that something need not be literally in the Qur'an, in words that cats and dogs today can understand, to be regarded as "in the Qur'an" by the Islamic jurisconsults who, more than a millennium ago, before the Gates of Ijtihad were slammed shut, declared that apostasy was punishable by death. And if Salam Al-Marayati wishes to take up the matter with someone well-versed in Shari'a, he need only call up M. Cherif Bassiouni, Distinguished Professor etc. at an American law school, who will no doubt repeat to him what he wrote to Robert Spencer some weeks ago: that all four schools of Sunni jurisprudence uphold the notion that an apostate can and should be punished by death. For apostasy is, in Islam -- and not only in the early years of Islam (any more that marriage to a nine-year-old was valid only "in the early years of Islam"), but for all time.
But in any case, Salam Al-Marayati is wrong. It is in the Qur'an. And he knows exactly where. He knows 4.89 and 2.217. He can't claim ignorance. Nor is he unaware of the Hadith, or of the rulings of the jurisconsults that lead such a scholar of Islamic law as M. Cherif Bassiouni, Distinguished Prof. etc., to unambiguously conclude -- even if he, M. Cherif Bassiouni, wishes it were otherwise -- that Islamic law is crystal clear on the subject of apostates.
Now Salam Al-Marayati knows all this, knows it perfectly. He is not some innocent, some recent convert or "revert" to Islam who has been kept in the dark about Islam. Nor is he some lapsed Muslim, or a Muslim who has never read the Qur'an in Arabic. He knows this all, as well as any imam.
But what he, Salam Al-Marayati, is counting on, is that his non-Muslim readers (and perhaps even some of his more ignorant Muslim readers, especially the non-Arabs who have never been exposed to the violence with which the Qur'an in Arabic is instinct) will not know any of this, will not take the trouble to find out.
He has contempt for his readers.
I, on the other hand, think that readers -- even readers of The Huffington Post -- are far more capable of finding out about the texts and tenets of Islam than the al-marayatis of this world think. This is the very opposite of the condescension with which Salam Al-Marayati lies, so immediately and directly, to the readers he assumes can be taken in. I don't know which is worse, and which would be my grounds, were I running, or reading, the Huffington Post, to insist that such an obvious promoter of falsehood, such a deeply sinister practitioner of taqiyya and tu quoque, be dropped from the columnist list.
Meanwhile, I'd like to remind readers that when Salam Al-Marayati claims, with his poker-face, that "in every faith, apostasy is shunned but ultimate judgment is left to God, not people" he is lying about what Islam so clearly prescribes, and a dozen or a hundred or a thousand apostates could set us immediately straight.
Salman Al-Marayati has to be asked whether the people who assassinated Farag Foda in Egypt a few years ago for his apostasy had misunderstood Islam, and if so, in what way? And the same question should be asked about those who threatened to kill, many decades ago, in the same Egypt, the great scholar Taha Hussein, for apostasy? And why is it that Ayaan Hirsi Ali has to go about accompanied by four or five armed guards whenever she makes a public appearance? Is she doing it just for effect, just to make herself, phonily, into a martyr? And why is Wafa Sultan now in hiding? And what causes Ibn Warraq and Ali Sina to use aliases? And what about the guards whom the government of Italy supplies to accompany Magdi Cristiano Allam? And what about the sentencing of Abdul Rahman to death in Afghanistan, not so long ago, for apostasy?
Have all of these people, and have all of the Muslims who are intent in carrying out what they believe the sentence for apostasy is, all collectively misunderstood Islam? And if Salman Al-Marayati wishes, we could fill up this page with the names of those who have been threatened with death, or killed, because they are charged with apostasy, and could fill up a book with the names of those Muslim scholars of Islam, living and dead, who believe that the proper punishment, the punishment according to the Shari'a for apostasy from Islam, is death.
So whom should we believe? All of those scholars, Muslim and non-Muslim, who set out, with the Qur'anic verses, and quotes form the authentic Hadith, and details from the life of Muhammad, to insist that Islam continues to punish apostates with death, as it has for 1350 years? Or should we believe what Salman Al-Marayati tells us, when he is such a sly, and yet at the same time for the vigilant and well-informed reader such a transparent practitioner of Taqiyya and Tu Quoque, who treats his non-Muslim readers with such contempt (and knows that his fellow Muslims will say nothing at all to spoil his effort at deception), whether at the Huffington Post, or wherever else he manages to ingratiate and insinuate himself among those who are ill-prepared to understand his methods and his goals?

Apparently this is the international sign for "suck it."
Yep. Don't you watch wrestling?
Well, the crossed part of the arms should be placed squarely over his crotch, but it's very close. :)
And yeah, don't you watch wrestling?!
No, I don't watch wrestling!
And, I think we have to give Keith a pass on the arm placement, since he was seated at a table. Squarely over the crotch could have been hard to achieve.

Forget about birthdays, The LaSalle Network celebrates each employee's 'hire day' with decorations, balloons, and gifts from the boss.
Employees decorate one another's desks for their "rebirthdays" - their hire day. CEO Tom Gimbel buys a special gift for each employee to signify their value at the company.
The Data
The LaSalle Network
Location: Chicago
Founded: 1998
2010 revenue: $21 million
CEO: Tom Gimbel
Website: thelasallenetwork.com
Number of employees: 51
What it does: Places employees at finance, technology, and human-resource companies
At The LaSalle Network, your birthday doesn't matter. "Why celebrate a day you just wake up breathing?" asks CEO Tom Gimbel. "We celebrate the anniversary of your hire day—your 'rebirthday'—because your career was reborn when you came to work with us." Employees of the Chicago-based staffing firm are greeted once a year with decorations, balloons and gifts of appreciation. When the recession hit in 2008, the company extended hours but also invested in a keg machine tapped every day at 5 p.m. to acknowledge employees' extra efforts. Employees highlight their accomplishments and challenges through charades at weekly staff meetings.

Rex Ingamells (1913 - 1955 / Australia)
Biography of Rex Ingamells
Rex Ingamells was a poet and the founder of the Jindyworobak movement. He was born in Ororoo, South Australia. He gained his education at the University of Adelaide, prior to becoming a high school teacher. He also worked as a journalist and publisher's representative. In 1951 he lectured in Australian Literature at the Melbourne Technical College.
Ingamells wrote his prose manifesto 'Conditional Culture' (1938), and founded the Jindyworobak movement in that year, in response to L.F. Giblin's urging that poets in Australia should portray Australian nature and people as they are in Australia, not with the 'European' gaze, an article in the Age concerning Australian Literature (February 16, 1935) by G.H. Cowling, and The Foundations of Culture in Australia by P.R. Stephenson. Ingamells was named as a judge of the Commonwealth Jubilee Literary competition in 1951.
Ingamells is the recipient of the 1945 Grace Levin Prize for Poetry.

14 September 2013
Photo: Paul ZimmerThe Davis Cup trophy
Hong Kong China took a step closer to promotion, while Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia will be in a three-way fight to take the second spot in Group III in the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas Asia/Oceania Zone being held at the Dubai Aviation Club.
Hong Kong China made easy work of Cambodia with a 2-1 win, while the second qualifying spot remained wide open after Malaysia fought till the very end to stun Vietnam for a 2-1 win in the second promotion pool encounter that went on till 1am.
First participating in Davis Cup in 1970, Hong Kong's best finish came in 1989 and later between 1993 and 1995 when they competed in the Asia/Oceania Zone Group I. Last year, they went down to Sri Lanka in a lengthy relegation play-off.
"We belong to Group II for sure. But we will have to wait till Sunday to see if we will get through," Hong Kong China's Indian coach Karan Rastogi admitted.
"Realistically, this is where we ought to be," he added.
The second promotion pool encounter between Vietnam and Malaysia had all the ingredients of a thriller as there was a sudden power cut on Court No. 6 that led to the match being moved to centre court with Vietnam leading 3-1 in the deciding third set.
Vietnam protested after the match, but the reality is that the fight for the second spot in the promotion pool still remains wide open between Malaysia, Vietnam and Cambodia on the final day of competition on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Iran and the UAE won their respective ties to retain their place in Group III for next year. Iran got the better of Pacific Oceania 2-1, while the hosts managed a 3-0 win over Oman to keep their places in the group for yet another year.
"I am proud of what the boys have done by remaining in Group III for another year. We were up against all odds this time, but our boys gave it their best and we've managed to keep our place," noted UAE's Spanish coach Jorge Martin Munoz.
UAE captain Mahmoud Khalifa Al Baloushi was equally pleased with the result. "Perhaps we felt a bit of pressure playing at home. But we've done well to keep our place in Group III and that is a relief," he said.
In Sunday's final day, the UAE will be up against Iran to decide fifth place, while Oman and Pacific Oceania will have to come to terms with the reality of slipping down into Group IV for 2014.

Parents have a better work/life balance than the childless, new research shows.
Massey University's Professor Jarrod Haar surveyed more than 1300 parents and non-parents.
The results were unexpected - 52 per cent of parents reported being happy with how they balance work with the rest of their lives, but only 42 per cent of the childless felt the same way.
Prof Haar says parents are better at drawing a line and leaving the office at the end of the day.
"It's easy to flag going to the gym and stay at your desk, but you can't decide to not pick the kids up from daycare."
Prof Haar says everyone has multiple roles they are trying to balance.
"It might be work and sports or, if you're religious, your church - and that can be just as draining and hard to juggle as someone who has young kids."
It is perception that counts, he says.
"You could have 100 things on and think 'Woohoo, I'm really achieving here'. Or you could have two things on and think 'Oh, I can't handle this'. It's about your perceived ability to cope."
A good work/life balance was equally important to both groups in the study and led to greater job and life satisfaction and better mental heath.
Prof Haar says company policies such as flexible start and finish times can benefit everyone.
Policies aimed just at parents can make other employees feel discriminated against, he says.
"It's a reminder to managers not to categorise people as parents or non-parents and then assume the non-parents don't have anything important going on.
"Accommodating the needs of parents is a good thing, but you can be single and childless and still lead a busy, stressful life."

I edited the theme myself! Message me off private and I can give it to you.
I'll post them!
I wish I was the type of person to just be like, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I don't care what you think of me! You can say anything you want about me and I will live my life like you didn't just tell everyone I'm a stuck up bitch.
But I'm not that type of person. As much as I hate to admit it, it really does bother me when people say things about me and tell lies about me. Why? Because they usually end up telling everyone and embed these terrible thoughts about me into their heads so that these people, who have never met me, have this preconceived notion about who I am.
And I really can't do anything about it but get bothered by it. It sucks. Sometimes, I feel like I need to explain myself to people so that they don't judge me on the words others have said, but that's so impractical.
One thing that I hate so much about Twitter, or any social media, really, is that people just sit back and wait for you to say something you'll regret. Everyone makes mistakes and they know it, so they wait around until you say something ridiculous and then shame you for it.
I don't care if someone sent nudes or said something ridiculous online. Maybe they were in a bad mood. Maybe the person sent the photos to someone they really trusted and loved. You don't know why the person did it, so don't automatically assume the worst about the person.
If you don't like what someone does or says, keep it to yourself, or simply ASK the person why they did it. Don't ever gang up on them and ridicule them for what they've done. God forbid they did something to hurt themselves over it. Then what would you do?
That's right. You'd feel like a judgmental prick.
Disclaimer: Notice how I said "people" do this. I am a person. I am not secluded, which means I am not innocent. I have done this, and I feel terrible for it. I know how it feels when people bash you via Internet.

LOL @ Washington, D.C. being in Washington state's place. And yeah the Australia as seen by an American photo is pretty accurate. Just add Nemo.
Exactly! I feel like sometimes people also just wait around until you explode and say something out of line so that they can ridicule you for that one time you do.
Whenever I make mistakes or say things that are out of line, people make huge deals out of it and make it seem like it's such an absurd thing to do. I'm not going to apologize for being human; I get angry over things. I'm not always in a good mood. I'm not always perfectly happy. I'm not always having a flawless day and interacting with flawless people. Jeeze, people need to realize that everyone, even people whose lives seem perfect, is not going to have a good day every single day. We say things we don't mean. We're all out of line sometimes. We're all rude sometimes. Get over it.
No matter what it is, I compare myself to other people. If I see someone else getting into medical/pharmacy school or even getting a brand new luxury car from their parents, I always somehow feel bad about myself. It's ridiculous, I know, but it's human nature. I always think other people have it better than me and that my life is awful, but in reality, my life is actually quite perfect in a sense. I was born a pretty fortunate child. I may not be a stunning model or someone who's extremely well off with millions at my disposal, but I have a roof over my head and food to eat every single day, and that should be enough. It's just so often that kids, including myself, aren't as grateful for the things that they have. We see people who have better things than us, and we can't help but feel unlucky. The best that we can do is try to appreciate everything that we do have and work extremely hard for the things that we want to have.
Thank you! I appreciate all of the kind words. I use "PicFx" and "Over."

PORTLAND, Ore. — There's a reason why the Union were one of Major League Soccer's surprise stories a year ago, and why they very well could return to the postseason: Avoiding the unlucky.
Winning games they shouldn't and taking care of business in games in which they should is a formula that pays off … but losing leads on the road in stadiums gauged by many as one of the more difficult places to play doesn't exactly adhere to that credo.
"We went up a goal," midfielder Freddy Adu said, "and we were a little bit unlucky."
"Just unlucky," goalkeeper Zac MacMath added.
Lady Luck's opposition wasn't the only obstacle Monday, when the Union lost their season opener to the Portland Timbers, 3-1, at JELD-WEN Field.
Did the Union, who struck first with a 51st-minute tally, have any business winning the match? Probably not. Not when they managed only two shots on goal in the opening half and little offensively thereafter. Not when a few soft shots from the Timbers seemed to find their way into the back of the net.
Afterward, the Union had their explanations for what went wrong, and why not enough went right.
Ultimately, it came down to the defense.
The Union, who had one of the league's stingiest defenses in 2011, looked porous against Portland. Whether the Timbers leaked through gaps in the flank, around leftback Porfirio Lopez or rightback Sheanon Williams, or right through the middle, against centerbacks Danny Califf and Carlos Valdes, the Timbers' opportunities were plentiful.
There's no other way to explain the Timbers' trio of goals scored in a 22-minute span during the second half.
Union manager Peter Nowak said the Portland goals were a result of a cause-and-effect relationship, between a flimsy attack on offense that created a slow-to-respond defense.
"After we scored, instead of dropping a little too far, we should go a little bit more forward and try to pressure a bit harder," Union manager Peter Nowak said. "This part was too easy and we didn't … If we can hold them for another five, 10 minutes, I think we have maybe a different game.
"This is a learning process. I'm not disappointed in anybody."
Making the first appearance in his first season as the Union's starting goalkeeper, MacMath provided Nowak with a reason for optimism. He made a trio of goal-saving stops in the first half and showed resiliency after giving up a goal in the second half.
"It was a very good game for him, that's all I can say," Nowak said of MacMath. "He was very steady and made a courageous save in the first half. I think it's something that's very positive."
MacMath made four stops in allowing three goals, only one of which could not have been prevented. The final tally, a 76th-minute goal by Kalif Alhassan, was a 12-yard chip shot that sailed inside the far post. The earlier two were headers off 30-yard crosses – one a set piece – to unmarked men in the box.
Two bad goals aside, Califf didn't think the game was a total loss … even if that's how it'll be remembered in the standings.
"(The Timbers') outside midfielders were dropping a little bit deep to get the ball and had a little bit more space to run at our defense," said Califf, the Union's captain. "If you give Alhassan and (Darlington) Nagbe and those guys a little time to run at you, you're going to be in trouble."
"There's certainly a couple of their goals were unfortunate situations, so I think that overall if you look at the game it wasn't so poor. There's certainly positives we can take out of this game."
What remains a question mark, besides the Union's defense, is the health of Valdes. The big centerback, and a primary stopper in MacMath's line of defense, Valdes absorbed a jarring hit from Kris Boyd in the first half. The two knocked heads while vying for a 50/50 ball. Valdes took the brunt of the hit and remained on the turf for a few minutes afterward.
Valdes was not made available for comment after the match. But Nowak, McMath and Califf said they thought Valdes would be OK.
No one knows for sure, however, what lies ahead for the Union, or whether there would be any tactical changes prior to Sunday's home opener against Colorado.
"I have no idea about next weekend," Califf said. "I wish I could look into the crystal ball, but I can't."

"Close cab ride to Opatija"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 15, 2012
Stayed at Bristol with some friends for a few nights while driving through Croatia. We got the half board which is definitely worth it because the morning and evening buffet are pretty good for what you pay. And the biggie for us, unlimited local beer and wine on tap! The concierge helped upgrade our room, free of charge, when we weren't content with the number of beds in our suite. They also called us a cab while we had drinks at the bar. The town of Lovran itself isn't great, but it's a little more than a five minute cab ride to Opatija if you're looking for something to do. The private beach that the hotel has is kind of crummy. Not what we would call a beach in the States. Overall good hotel though, good service. Stay away from the hotel's laundry service.

""Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Sep 17, 2012
The hotel is in a beautiful area. it is kind of dated but clearly management expands significant efforts to keep the property clean and inviting. We were on a full board plan. The food was reasonable, but nothing like a high level restaurant. You cannot go hungry though. What bothered us is our inability to get away from smokers either in the hotel (you cannot smoke inside but smoke drifts in from the outside through open doors) or at the beach (you can be surrounded by smokers at any time).
"Great hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Sep 10, 2012
I would never stay in Motovun knowing that this hotel is so close by in Buzet. The room was clean, attractive and air conditioned, and the bed very comfortable. The staff was fantastic, with the manager going so far as to give us a ride to dinner 15 minutes away, and arranging for the restaurant owner to drive us home. Great hotel, great staff, highly recommended.

"Perfekt til afslapning og wellness"
Lækre spa-faciliteter og god massage, god morgenmadsbuffet, men til gengæld er aftenbuffeten ikke pengene værd (gå hellere på en af de nærliggende restauranter). Super udsigt over havet fra hotelbaren!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Veldig bra frokost. Bra utsikt mot sjøen og marinaen. Stor veranda. Rommet var stort. Parkeringshus rett ved hotellet. Hotellet ligger ved gangvei som fører til strender (grus) og til sentrum. Sentrum fem minutter unna. Flere butikker, bank, restauranter mm i gata oppfor. Husrekke mellom hotellet og gata hindret trafikkstøy. Musikk i restauranten om […] kvelden. Svømmebassenget var i hovedsak innendørs, men noe av det var ute. Få solplasser ute, så vi brukte verandaen til soling. Var mulig å leie solsenger på stranda 5 minutter unna (50 kroner om dagen).
