Usually salesmen have a base pay and then commission on each sale. I want to know how a company handles this? I mean for example a salesman's basic pay is $1000 and commission ratio is 10% for each sale, now what would be the monthly target for him? It must be something which will generate enough revenue for the company even after paying salesman's pay and commission, right? So how do you calculate that? Is there any simple way (some formula) to make a sales target for a salesman based on his pay and commission?
The thing is I want to hire a salesman but I have no idea what to offer him and for what? like what should be the base pay? what should be the commission ratio? What should be sales target? and what should be my profit's ratio after paying his pay and commission?
I never been to business school and anywhere near any business and I have no idea how these things work. Any advice/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

CCA's Dirty Thirty, Part III: Deaths in Custody
Friday, May 17th, 2013In this final installment marking the 30th Anniversary of Corrections Corporation of America, we bring you a list of the bodies left in the wake of CCA's relentless pursuit of profits.
Compiled by our friend and colleague, Alex Friedman of Prison Legal News and the Human Rights Defense Center, here are the deaths in custody (prisoners) and in the line of duty (staff) in CCA facilities from 1987 to the present. These names are the most vivid testament to the fact that 30 years of imprisoning people for money is nothing to celebrate.
As of May 20, 2013
Note: This is an incomplete list; many more prisoners have died while in CCA custody, and this list includes only those deaths that have been reported by the news media or cited in government reports, court records and reports by non-governmental organizations.

On weekend walks around the upstairs track at the Maryville Community Center, Spoofhound head boys basketball coach Mike Kuwitzky has often looked down at the basketball courts and noticed a familiar presence.
It was Jonathan Baker hoisting up jump shots with near flawless form, while his father, Roger, rebounded and passed the ball to him.
In a day and age where players have become increasingly reluctant to spend their free time in the gym, this always made quite an impression on Kuwitzky.
"That is a rarity today. You don't see that hardly at all," said Kuwitzky. "When I go to the rec center and places like that, you may see some of your kids scrimmaging and playing, but rarely do you see that one kid out there shooting shot after shot. He's done that his whole career."
Baker's willingness to work on his game has paid off in a major way throughout high school and allowed him to develop into one of the state's best players as a senior.
Last week, Baker learned of his inclusion on the Missouri Basketball Coaches Association (MBCA) Class 3 All-State team. He's the first Spoofhound boys basketball player to earn all-state honors since Josh Wilmes in 2005.
"I was definitely surprised just because the amount of teams in our class and how many great players we've faced during the year ," said Baker. "I know I couldn't have done it without coach Kuwitzky here with me and my teammates. Coming into high school, I had goals I wanted to accomplish for basketball and this was a great one."
Baker, a 5-11 guard, will soon have a composite photo lining the upper walls of Maryville High School outside the gymnasium acknowledging his all-state status in basketball.
He's already got one hanging up from football after earning first team all-state honors at quarterback, putting him in extremely rare air.
Prior to Baker, the last Maryville athlete to get all-state in football and basketball in the same year was Matt Redd—the school's all-time leading scorer—in 1995.
"It means a lot just because I've put in a lot of hard work," said Baker. "I've known what I've had to sacrifice throughout the years to do well in sports. I also know that hard work doesn't go along by yourself. You have to have a lot of help along the way with coaches and your teammates and people pushing you. My family has always been there for me. God has given me great ability and to accomplish these things, you have to look at it as a whole and realize the blessing you have."
With his all-state selection in basketball, Baker fulfilled the promise he's held since grade school when he won a national free throw shooting contest. From that point on, Kuwitzky and others at the high school realized they had something special coming up the pipeline.
Page 2 of 4 - "We always knew he was a great kid and came from a great family, but his interest in basketball was always so high," said Kuwitzky. "He went through our system. He went through our little kids camp. As he got into high school as a freshman, you knew he spent so much time on his game that he was going to be special."
As a freshman who stood around 5-8, Baker played exclusively on the freshman team, while the senior-laden varsity team won districts and reached the state quarterfinals.
The next year, Baker started on varsity from day one and was the second or third option in a lineup that included Tyler Peve and Tyler Walter.
Baker flashed potential greatness that year and as a junior blossomed into an all-conference player with Walter as his main sidekick.
This year, as one of the football and basketball team's top senior leaders, he elevated his game and both programs to new heights.
After breaking many of the school's passing records on a state championship team in football, Baker led the district champion Hound basketball team in points, rebounds, assists and steals.
Despite being the main focus of every opposing defense, he averaged a career-best 16.9 points per game, 4.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.3 steals.
The purest of shooters from the time he was in elementary school, Baker stroked three's at a 46 percent clip, and with the help of a newly established post game, made over 51 percent of his field goal attempts.
He also shot 88.2 percent from the foul line, believed to be a new school record.
"I've put in a lot of work behind the scenes," said Baker. "Last summer, coach Kuwitzky gave me a lot of tips on working on shooting by myself and how to get better in that aspect so that my shot can improve. It definitely carried over through this winter. I've also been to a lot of camps in both sports. It helps just to get different viewpoints. It all worked for the better. You could see it paying off this year."
Kuwitzky has his own theories behind Baker's hardwood ascension from being a good player to a great one that, on some nights, was completely unguardable.
"I think he really believed in our system, and the players that do the best are the players that work within it," said Kuwitzky. "I think when the coaches told him there was things he needed to work on, he did it. He worked out. He got much stronger. Football helped him tremendously. He was just confident this year. He was so focused. He wanted to do so well, but you knew he was driven and he was really determined."
Page 3 of 4 - Baker's senior season included its share of memorable individual performances.
He scored a career-best 34 points and went over 1,000 for his career while missing just three shots in a 64-57 win over Smithville who at the time was ranked No. 10 in Class 4.
On Senior Night, Baker made the game-tying basket and delivered the game-winning assist to Trent Nally in the final minute of a 58-56 win over Savannah.
In sectionals, Baker put up 26 points and connected on five three's, nearly willing the Hounds to victory in a 70-64 season-ending loss to eventual Class 3 runner-up St. Pius X.
Baker's fondest memory of a 20-8 season was the team's 63-40 victory over Cameron in the district finals that gave the Hounds their first district title since 2009-2010.
"You think about that a lot through your whole life," said Baker. "Coach tells you about it all the time, the teams before us that have won districts. I've been lucky enough that I remember a lot of those teams just because I liked to watch games when I was little. I know me and my fellow seniors remember those moments in 2004 and hoisting the district championship and recently in 2010. That was a big one. That was probably the driving force behind it all. It was a great reward for us."
A three-year varsity starter, Baker finished his Spoofhound career with better than 1,100 points, accumulating 473 of those as a senior.
He's one of only eight players in the history of Maryville boys basketball to eclipse 1,000 points in his career.
Kuwitzky, who just completed his 27th year at MHS, considers Baker to be one of the greats to come through the program.
"Just because of what kind of person he is and just what he's meant to this team and how much of a pleasure he's been," said Kuwitzky. "He's in that elite group of players that really make a difference in your program and they're a pleasure to coach. They make coaching fun and they make being around young people fun. He's definitely in that category of players that I really appreciated coaching."
Baker has one more sport remaining in his MHS career—baseball—before he heads across town to join the Northwest Missouri State football program.
He signed with Northwest in February and is content with just focusing on football from here on out.
"I'm proud of the way it ended, so you have no regrets in the fact that it's over, but we still had fun and got a lot accomplished," said Baker.
If Baker were three or four inches taller, he probably would have had to choose between playing Division II football or basketball.
Page 4 of 4 - Kuwitzky thinks Baker, who only had NAIA offers, should've been recruited by Division II basketball schools anyway and is already bracing for what life will be like without him at MHS next year.
"We're going to miss him a lot and we're going to miss him a lot not just as a player, but as a human being," said Kuwitzky. "Just his presence on the team, on the court. You never had to worry about him being coachable and his positive attitude. He's going to be very hard to replace."

RV Expert Center
Honda® Companion Generator Offers Easy RV Power Connection
Honda has again revolutionized RV power with the EU2000i Companion portable generator, a 2000-watt powerhouse that comes ready-made with a locking 30-amp/125-volt receptacle and easy connection to a standard EU2000i for 4000-watt output.
The Companion (Item #43844) offers most of the same features as the standard EU2000i and also includes as a new feature a single 20-amp/120-volt receptacle to accompany the 30-amp connection. This feature replaces the duplex 20-amp/120-volt outlet found on the standard EU2000i. 12-volt DC charging capability is not available on the Companion model.
Connecting the Companion to a standard EU2000i is easy with Parallel Cables & RV Adapter Kit (Item #43982), available at Camping World. The kit includes a set of parallel cables and an adapter that converts a 30-amp RV male plug to the locking 30-amp receptacle on the EU2000i Companion. No bulky add-on panel is needed; just connect the Companion to a standard EU2000i, then use the included adapter to connect your RV power cord to run one 13,500 RV air conditioner, a satellite TV system, refrigerator, coffee maker, hair dryer, microwave or other electric accessories.
The Companion shares the advanced inverter technology of other Honda Super Quiet Series generators to produce stable, clean power for operating the most sensitive electronic devices, such as computers, TVs and DVD players. By taking the raw power produced by the generator and passing it through a special microprocessor, Honda generators are able to produce a sine wave equal to or better than your household power.
Linking a Honda EU2000i Companion and a standard EU2000i to power your RV lets you enjoy the comforts of home in your RV. And by using either 2000-watt generator separately, you can enjoy reliable, portable power for tailgating, picnicking, outdoor projects and more—much more versatility than you enjoy with a built-in RV generator.
Visit any Camping World location or CampingWorld.com for a full selection of Honda Portable Generators and accessories for all your RV and outdoor power needs.

That is one primo piece of ass. *|* I've wanted to taste that taint ever since the wet underwear scene in White Squall. :sex: I actually cried when his character perished. :(
Only just looked up this thread again and saw the ass pics. Hot *|*
This is him in July. Think he looks quite sexy here.
He's so fuckin' hot.. like the hot that makes you have to devour him the second you see a pic. I have wanted that guy since I Know What You Did Last Summer came out when I was a kid. DAMN!
Does the same to me. Not many guys who can do it for me equally in clothes as when shirtless but he does
Ryan why ruin your beautiful arms with that ugly ink??
it's not just his arms- they are all over his back, legs- who knows where else!
Tattoos are only a turn-off for me when people are only getting them 'cause they're popular (ie. One Direction, and celebs of a similar age). Ryan can pull them off.
A few here/there- OK- Covered- looks trashy!
Those arm ones look poor I have to say. Not a fan of tattoos but some look well on people these look cheap IMO.
Is it wrong for me to hope that Ryan is AC/DC?
No it's not never think that. We all live in hope nothing wrong with a bit of hope and at least you wanna share him with hetro women your not being greedy lol.
He is the reason why I'm attracted to men now. After watching the movie 54 three years ago and seeing Ryan naked and in those cute little shorts I was never attracted to another woman sexually again. So thank you Ryan for showing me the light lol!

Keeping Score
Gwyneth Walker composes a birthday bash
Gwyneth Walker and some neighbors
It's one thing to throw yourself a 60th birthday party and be serenaded by your guests. It's quite another to celebrate with a two-day, five-concert extravaganza involving hundreds of singers and musicians . . . and write all the music yourself.
One of the few people who could pull this bash off, and justify its scale, is Gwyneth Walker, the nationally acclaimed composer from Connecticut who has lived on a Vermont dairy farm since 1983. From her studio there, waves of music have emanated to rock the classical music world. Walker's orchestral work has been performed by the New York Philharmonic; her choral work has been celebrated in a Carnegie Hall gala; and countless high school, college, community and professional choirs, orchestras, soloists and chamber groups around the country regularly perform her compositions.
Though she turned 60 in March, Walker is celebrating this weekend, October 13 and 14, at the Chandler Music Hall in Randolph. Saturday's four vocal-recital and instrumental-ensemble concerts include the premiere of three new works by Walker, and performances by a soprano and pianist from Chicago, and the Tulsa Trio from Oklahoma. Sunday's Choral Festival features 11 choirs from Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. The opening piece: "Gestalt at Sixty," a narrative reading of May Sarton's reflective 1972 poem that Walker set to piano.
Do her neighbors in tiny Braintree — population 1200 — know they have a world-class composer in their midst? "No, I'm completely ignored," Walker jokes by telephone. "But that works for me." A Quaker with a jaw-dropping work ethic, she's almost too busy for this interview, but agrees to squeeze in the call during a short post-dinner break — after which she'll compose until bedtime. "Most of the time I'm just trying to figure out what note to write on the page," she says.
Walker is not, of course, working in total isolation. She got the idea for her birthday bash from a Randolph neighbor and "wonderful singer," Marjorie Drysdale, who invited friends to a musical soirée at her home a few years ago to record one another singing favorite songs. "One could think, 'Well, gee, what a self-centered thing,' but I didn't think so. I thought it was a lovely evening," Walker says. She began planning her own version a full two years ago, after securing the out-of-state performers, "because I thought how nice it would be to have these professionals come to Randolph, Vermont."
Word spread, and other performers asked to participate, including a clarinetist Walker knew from Springfield, Massachusetts. "Then I decided to do some choruses. And, you know, with email these days, I just sent out one invitation to everyone — and they all said yes!"
Walker certainly has a lot to celebrate. In a revenue-challenged classical music business that tends to rely on the name recognition of dead composers, she is not just alive but irrepressible, and composing new works at a terrific rate. And in a profession still dominated by men, Walker is the rare female success story.
Like most composers, Walker plied her trade in academia for a while. But in 1982, she gave up a coveted teaching job at Oberlin to make her living entirely from commissions and the sale of her music — all of which is in print. Walker now has more than 170 commissioned works under her belt, a number that awes fellow Vermont composer Erik Nielsen: "It takes me months to write one 25-minute piece," he admits. "And Gwyneth told me a few years ago that she probably has enough commissions lined up to last the rest of her life."
Success aside, Walker seems to be a naturally joyous soul. Scattered throughout her prolific composer's notes are words like "glorious" and "grandeur." (Walker's prodigious website offers these notes, along with her essays about music, her entire catalogue, media clips and photos of her rented farmhouse, nearby cows and the neighbors' swimming hole. "My substitute for a secretary," she called the site in a 2005 interview with Vermont Public Radio.) She often chooses delightfully funny, subversive lyrics. Her song for a female chorus, "Women Should Be Pedestals," sets the titular Swenson poem — describing women as rocking horses "to be joyfully ridden . . . until the restored egos dismount" — to an equally tongue-in-cheek melody. Exclamation points punctuate her titles, such as Handfuls of Love!, a medley of Shaker songs, and No Ordinary Woman!, a song cycle based on the poems of Lucille Clifton.
Walker also has an unabashed predilection for hamming it up, challenging the notion that choral and orchestral performances should be staid and formal. In the Family Farm Song Cycle, the conductor uses cow-milking motions to conduct. "Take My Hand," a song for mixed choirs that ends with the clicking and hissing of a train coming to a halt, requires the conductor to imitate a chugging train with arm movements. Match Point, an orchestral piece about Walker's other great obsession — tennis — was premiered by the New York Philharmonic in 1988. In it, court sensation Billie Jean King played timpani by bouncing tennis balls off the drums and brass section. The racquet she used now hangs on a wall in Walker's home.
Walker's music is "very accessible," declares Nielsen. "I've been in audiences many times when her pieces are performed, and they always get a good reception. She doesn't try to make things thorny or hard to understand."
Many of Walker's works evoke the triumphant fanfares and dance-inspiring, Shaker-based melodies of Aaron Copland. "Yes, I sound like Aaron Copland with a sense of humor," she says without hesitation — clearly, she's fielded the comparison before. Walker met the elderly Copland when she was in graduate school, but claims he was never a direct influence because "my style was set by age 16." So it's merely a coincidence that their styles are so similar? "No, no coincidence at all," she counters. "We're both American. I sound like an American composer and he does, too."
Walker's talent for melody was fostered during her training at the Hartt School of Music, where she studied under Italian opera composer Arnold Franchetti, a friend of Giacomo Puccini and a student of Richard Strauss. Frustrated by the trend toward non-tonal music when he first arrived in the States, Franchetti encouraged his students to write melodies. To his surprise, the only one who happily complied was his sole female student — Gwyneth Walker.
She had been picking out melodies on the family piano from the age of 2, as she tells it, as a way to express her feelings. By the time she was 5 and receiving her first piano lessons, she had already composed complete pieces, and balked at her teacher's insistence that she learn scales. That teacher finally told Walker's parents it would do the child more good to let her follow her muse. Walker went on to earn her Bachelor's in music composition from Brown University and her Master's and Doctorate from Hartt.
Dawn Willis, founder and director of the Essex-based Bella Voce Women's Chorus of Vermont, says that Walker is renowned as a composer dedicated to performers. "She travels to every premiere of her work," says Willis. "She's accessible; she doesn't teach or have a family, so this is her whole focus."
Walker confirms that she made 18 trips around the country in the last season alone. She often attends not just premieres but rehearsals, where she can correct the inevitable mistake, or remind singers to smile. "Some-times they forget; they've been singing too much Bach or 'Ave Maria,'" she suggests bluntly.
Occasionally Walker will attend a performance, introduce herself to the director afterward, and offer to collaborate. This is how Willis recalls first meeting the composer in the fall of 2005. Their work together resulted in a CD recording (see sidebar review) and a commission for a song cycle based on Anne Morrow Lindbergh's book Gifts From the Sea. As Erik Nielsen puts it, "She'll approach a group she senses is ready for a commission and propose one. A lot of times, they don't even know they're ready because, you know, they've been busy doing Beethoven."
This may be true of local groups, but Walker describes the commission process a bit differently: "I sit at home and they come!" People usually contact her by email and specify their desires — something to celebrate their group's anniversary, for instance, or a 2-to-3-minute anthem — along with their budget. Walker accepts or rejects a commission based on whether it fits her long list of "things that I want to write." In this way, she avoids repetition, since many groups want similar types of pieces. "I'm trying to balance my catalogue; you want to have a catalogue that's interesting to you," Walker explains. "There are composers who have a niche — say, church anthems — but that's not me."
That said, she has written a lot of choral music, especially for women's choirs. As Walker puts it, "There wasn't much women's choral music out there" before she started filling the void. To complement that body of work, she's now taking commissions primarily for combined orchestra and chorus and — her new interest — narrative-accompanied orchestral music. "In a few years, though, I might be on to something else," Walker muses. "Who knows?"
For the moment, she seems happy to acknowledge her achievements so far, as well as touting the merits of her Vermont home. "All these directors [at the Randolph event] are my friends, and some of the performers, too," Walker says. "I feel fortunate . . . I've been in Vermont 25 years, and I have met a lot of people and written a lot of music since I've come here. That's the celebration."

Days after officially announcing their split, Karina Smirnoff's ex Mario Lopez doesn't seem to be wasting any time getting back on the prowl for a new woman. The Broadway star was spotted in Times Square wearing a "Kiss the Cook" apron while grilling hot dogs for charity—and talking about his ideal girl. "I'd like to be with someone who is secure with themselves. She has to understand that I have a lot going on and I'm busy," Mario tells People.com.

Father's Day came early for Jessica Alba's proud papi, Mark Alba. The California-based realtor was in Florida when he heard the news that Jessica was delivering, and tells us his daughter "flew him right out" to Los Angeles so he could be the first to get a glimpse of his granddaughter, Honor Marie Warren.
Is it that she's hard up for cash (no pun intended), or is Jessica Alba just trying to throw us off the trail? After denying rumors that she's pondering offers for the first photos of her newborn Honor Marie, sources reveal that the exact opposite is true. MSN reports that several insiders say offers were made to Jessica, that she was kept in the loop and that some talks are still in progress. "She is part of the talks, I don't know why she'd go out and say that," one source said.
Legendary singer Lionel Richie thinks he deserves praise not for lasting four decades in the music industry, but rather for surviving half that time as father to reformed wild child Nicole Richie. The crooner told press at the TV Land Awards this past weekend (where he won the Icon award), ''Forget about surviving 40 years in the music business. Just surviving 27 years of Nicole Richie has been a struggle-and-a-half, I want to tell you. I stand here as a survivor, I want you to know, for all the parents out there.''

Summary and Analysis
The title of "Funeral Blues," by the English poet W. H. Auden (1907-1973), might at first suggest genuine lamentation—the kind of mourning or sorrow often found in popular music associated with African Americans. But the tone of Auden's poem quickly becomes obviously comic and playful. The references to mourning here are mostly exaggerated, in ways that make them difficult to take seriously. The speaker seems, at least until the third stanza, to be having fun rather than expressing genuine pain. Only in line 12 does it seem possible to take the phrasing completely at face value. Otherwise the poem seems mostly an exercise in wit and cleverness.
The poem opens vigorously, with the strongly accented verb "Stop," a beginning that simultaneously suggests an ending. Indeed, much of the rest of the poem is also built on heavily emphasized verbs of command. The tone of the work is highly imperative. The speaker issues orders, but the orders he issues suggest that he is not taking either himself or the supposed death too seriously. The poem immediately creates curiosity: who has died? How did he die? Why does his death seem so significant? These questions are never answered, which is part of what makes the poem seem so intriguing and playful.
By opening with the phrase "Stop all the clocks," the speaker cleverly alludes to the idea that in death, time ceases (at least for the dead person). Part of the paradox of this opening, however, is that the tone and pace of the poem seem so rushed, as if time is running out for the speaker as it has already run out for the corpse. The speaker frequently uses what would be called, according to standard grammar, "comma splices," as in the very opening line. By creating such "splices," he gives the poem an effect of breathless hurry, as if many words and ideas must be crammed into a limited amount of time and space. Most of the first stanza, however, deals explicitly not with time that is rushed or has stopped but instead with the need to quiet or muffle noise. Here, too, the effect is somewhat paradoxical: the speaker wishes to quiet all kinds of noise except the noise he himself is making by uttering his excited, exciting words.
Stanza 2 suggests that the dead man may be an important public official, and indeed when the poem was first printed it was published as part of a play in which that kind of political context was made satirically clear. Even without...

Guilty pleasures. Guilty conscience. Guilt trips.
As a society, we seem to be consumed by guilt, or at least with eliminating it from our lives. A search of a major online bookseller's website for the word "guilt" results in a list of over 3,000 titles. You can cook without guilt. Diet without guilt. Eat chocolate or fried foods without guilt. Parent your children without guilt. Be a guilt-free working parent or a guilt-free single parent. Be a guilt-free golfer. Or maybe you want to recognize guilt, understand guilt, overcome guilt, be liberated from guilt, put an end to guilt? There is a title for you.
Webster's Dictionary defines guilt as:
So what is wrong with taking a little responsibility? Nothing. Problems arise when we confuse guilt with shame, says June Tangney, PhD, a professor at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, and editor of Self-Conscious Emotions: The Psychology of Shame, Guilt, Embarrassment and Pride . "People generally feel guilt when they've done something that violates their own moral standards," says Dr. Tangney. "Guilt motivates people to make things right when they do something wrong. It's a helpful, adaptive way to feel bad."
Muriel Savikas, PhD, agrees. In her book Guilt Is Good: What Working Moms Need to Know , Savikas acknowledges that society continues to treat guilt as something undesirable. However that is not really right, she says, because guilt is a natural part of the human makeup and a necessary part of our value system that motivates us to change. According to Savikas, good guilt allows us to look at what we can change and what our goals are.
Guilt results when we feel bad about a behavior, says Tangney. Shame, on the other hand, is what we feel when we feel bad about ourselves. Guilt encourages us to take action, to right a wrong. Shame is a powerful, overwhelming emotion that results when our internal judge and jury declare us guilty with no hope of salvation. Irrational guilt—feelings of guilt that paralyze us and prevent us from rectifying a situation—is likely to arise from feelings of shame, Tangney says.
"Negative guilt is the guilt that allows us to beat ourselves up and that drags us down rather than turning things into a positive and moving on," Savikas adds.
"Guilt is a very misunderstood emotion," Tangney says. "You have to be able to use guilt constructively and then get over it without feeling shame." Listen to your feelings, she adds, and use guilt as a constructive emotion to remedy situations you feel badly about. Even if there is nothing you can do to fix the problem, guilt can prompt you to change your behavior in the future.
Feelings of guilt often arise from unrealistic expectations that we set for ourselves or that others set for us. So it is important to examine your feelings and review what is expected of you within the context of your life. Pay attention to your self-talk—what you say silently to yourself. Negative self-talk or self-scolding should be a wakeup call, says Savikas.
If you yell at your child and then find yourself thinking, "I'm an awful parent," Stop. You are generalizing too much from this single event, warns Tangney. Feeling like you are an awful parent is not going to make things better for your child or for you. Instead, focus on the behavior—your yelling and why your child caused you to yell—and not on your parenting abilities. Then you can start to fix things.
Let us face it. There are times when people use guilt to manipulate us into doing things they want us to do. And then again, there are times when we do the same thing. As Tangney points out, guilt is a handy tool for helping us reflect on our motivations and on our relationships with others. It can also be useful in helping to recognize when we are being manipulated. It's important to develop a sense of self-awareness so that we're able to see those guilty little red flags when they pop up and be aware of our behavior so we can gauge whether we are responding out of guilt or out of a genuine desire to help.
Here is what to do:
In his book A Year of Health Hints: 365 Practical Ways to Feel Better and Live Longer , author Don Powell offers the following advice: "Guilt is a by-product of all the 'shoulds' people accumulate on their mental lists of things to do."
To help you distinguish between what is right for you to do and what you do because you are guilt ridden, Powell suggests:
My 11-year-old son has even weighed in on the topic. When asked for his views on guilt, my future philosopher said, "It helps me learn what things not to do again because they make me feel bad." Smart kid. And I only feel a little guilty for bragging.

Super great truck
By Dasha
from Oceanside ca
Comments about Playmobil Recycling Truck:
Great toy for boys. My son loves real life toysRecycling truck really works I love playmobil theyMake the best toys. Very durable and well made.

About Me Novice
My 21month old daughter LOVES garbage trucks. All the trucks for her age do not interest her at all. I knew this truck was out of her age range so I was not going to buy it because of safety. I bought it anyway and put aside all the small parts for when she is older. My daughter just loves loves loves this truck. It is easy for her to snap the cab cover on and off to take the men in and out. She loves the little blue garbage can and its easy for her to hook to the back. This truck is very durable and my daughter plays with it everyday. She doesn't bother me as much anymore to watch for the garbage truck in the morning because now she has her own.

A great product overall
By Proud Canadian
from Pickering, Ontario
My son has a love of garbage trucks, and since this truck has come into our home all the other vehicles have become second best. We love that it came pre-assembled and overall it's durability, and realistic look make it a great choice. The one con is the back hatch. After the garbage goes in you can open the hatch to get the garbage out. It is a very firm closure, so my son (3yrs old) often has trouble getting it open. When it is opened the hatch doesn't flip all the way up and over, so he often pops the hatch right off when he's trying to get the garbage out. It just means that mommy and daddy are doing lots of repairs.This is the first item from playmobil that we have purchased, and I think we will purchase more in the future. A great product overall.
Great toy!

About Me Parent of Two or More Children, Stay at Home Parent, Working Parent
I was hesitant to get this at first because of the reviews here. But for any parent out there familiar with Playmobil pricing, this truck's on the lower end. I thought I could live with any trade-off in functionality for the price. Lower price, however, didn't translate to lower quality. This truck's made with the same OC quality control you can expect from Playmobil. My son who is five couldn't have been happier. The top half of the cab does snap off easily for him to put his men, women, children, dogs, etc. in the cab and is just as easy to snap back on. The recycling bin is fun to load and dump with the "recyclables" that come with the vehicle. The back of the truck swings up around the top hinge so you can reach in to empty the truck. The only con I can think of is that I wish there was an easier way to get more recycling bins and recyclables without hunting online auctions or calling Playmobil's replacement parts department. I've also got a daughter who's three and you'd think the two kids would have better things to do with their time than fight over a recycling bin or a fake sardine can.

Poor design
By Doting grandma
from Mentor, Ohio
About Me Babysitting grandma
Don't buy this recycling truck. It's garbage. Constructed well, but the front top doesn't lift up to place the drivers into the seats like other Playmobil products. The front has to be completely snapped off and on to place people inside. Very inconvenient for a child. Also, once the garbage is in the truck, the child has to turn it upside down to shake the garbage out. There should be a door that lifts open on the top of the truck to take the garbage out. Poor design. On the positive, my three year old grandson thinks it's great.

Very cool! Easy to assemble, and the garbage can is easy to hook on to the back of the truck, even for my 3 year old.

New and confused.
I can't find any examples of VB.NET UI scripts, so I'm using a VBScript one that seems to be working fine (thanks to whoever built the one I carved up <g>)
But I want to use a VB.NET Source template. It doesn't seem as if this should be a problem from what I can see. I _CAN_ mix and match these source languages, right?
OK... assuming I get a 'yes' to that, here's my first problem:
The UI runs fine, I click OK and am greeted by this:
Exception Type:NullReferenceException
Method: Void EngineExecuteCode(Zeus.IZeusCodeSegment, Zeus.IZeusContext)
Line 0 Column 0
Message:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
If it was just on SOME actual line of code, I'd have a prayer of understanding what I've done to offend. But I just don't have a clue. This looked just fine in VS2003 (although, of course, I can't RUN it there).
FYI, the Output window has an amazingly brief amount of text considering how far it seems to have run. It only shows about seven lines of output and they are, of course, those which require no MyMeta content.
Here's the first 15 or so lines of code in case that helps.
------- Begin Code ---------------
Public Class GeneratedTemplate
Inherits DotNetScriptTemplate
Public Sub New(ByVal context As ZeusContext)
End Sub
' Render() is where you want to write your logic
Public Overrides Sub Render()
Dim oDB As IDatabase = MyMeta.Databases(Input.Item(\"cmbDatabase\"))
Dim oTable As ITable = oDB.Tables(Input.Item(\"lstTables\"))
' Now begin calling section writers
' Be consistent here; pass ITable to all of them, not a string
' Call Write ClassLevelInfo
Call ClassLevelInfo(oTable)
' Call Write MemVar Declarations
Call MemVarDeclarations(oTable)
----------------- End Code -----------------------------
the ClassLevelInfo routine looks like:
----------------- Begin Code -----------------------------
Private Sub ClassLevelInfo(ByVal poTable As ITable)
Dim strClassName As String = poTable.Alias
With output
.autoTabLn(\"<Serializable()> _\")
.autoTabLn(\"Public Class \" & strClassName & \"Base\")
.autoTabLn(\"Inherits BusinessBase\")
End With
' [Note: the \"End Class\" is written by caller]
End Sub
----------------- End Code -----------------------------
There is NO '<%' at the top of the file. That seems correct to me for a VB.Net Template. My template properties include:
Type: Template
Mode: Pure
Template Scripting Engine: .Net Script
Template Language: VB.Net
Gui Scripting Engine: Microsoft Script
Gui Language: VBScript
Output Language: VB.Net
Thanks in advance,
Q Johnson[code][/code]

Jump at the thought of paying more taxes for anything.
Fortunately according to some that might be the only option -- -- -- security.
So new data from the -- security administration shows that drastically hiking the payroll tax.
Could actually help them pay the trillions of dollars it benefits well it won't otherwise haven't when he years.
So how drastic are we -- man who -- -- -- and support paying more taxes.
Joining us on the phone now co director of Social Security works and Syracuse professor Eric -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Let's explain quickly first that.
Through payroll with holdings that's how we fund Social Security so I -- employee pay half my employer pays the other half.
Twelve point 4% is supposed to be collected and sent to sales the security.
Yes these are contributions that are for purchase insurance protects people against the variety of risks lost income due to depth of -- spouse to do but retirement -- disability but we'll be back up for 12 first.
We have a remarkable system here so at least seven years old.
0% in the seven years it was built to provide broad protections the American public and -- done that very well.
Over 77 years it's never missed payment it has achieved.
The -- it today it's -- court retirement system that we have.
And when you look at what happened since 2008.
Americans have -- housing equity America's support score one K -- -- they think that Americans have lost.
Their pension protections in many cases bullhorn system.
Our Social Security system is below one -- -- that -- and straw.
Even though really let's -- spectacularly -- it doesn't stand strong it's 20% of our federal spending.
And it's about to be insolvent it basically pays out more than it collects in -- in what.
But it's so that's not strong FX we're really pathetically weak.
No actually your facts are wrong but -- -- first of all it's not 20% but the more important thing here is.
This is a system that Americans left or right you can have Tea Party households you can -- union -- Republicans you can if Democrats okay.
They say do not cut my Social Security they -- they know they've built that.
Of course they don't we turn to the country -- -- Really what we're up on I know that I'm never gonna see it and I know that when they -- -- secure -- -- checked it goes to my -- benefits rig count her comfortable that.
I disagree with you I think a lot of people say close this thing up already because we are sick of our congressional leaders -- in their hands in the cookie dark and that's what happened here.
They have borrowed.
From -- security funds and other trying to figure out a way to fix it and you're telling me that you think raising taxes the American people are gonna agree.
-- -- my paycheck to make up for their mistakes.
Well I'm calling you with these facts are according to polls done by both Democrats and Republicans the public's says this is not a cause of the deficit we do know what benefits cut and we would prefer doing today.
Increased contributions to seeing our our children and our grandchildren benefits -- this.
-- my sales and my grandchildren are not going to be reliant not relying on the system they know better because it will and you know what you raise taxes.
-- -- -- -- -- -- If you haven't -- but it looks at 35 years ago by people who are now receiving benefits its interest.
You know basically.
This structure people invested their lives in.
Protecting it in building it didn't politicians Democrats and Republicans in the past.
Professor I don't understand cannot tell you -- I think that's what makes it more disheartening.
We all put our -- went into this fund and our congressional leaders waste it unfortunately so are we are at a time will.
I ask you one question and I'll I think that there will be people working 304050 years from now.
I think we should raise the retirement age -- -- -- -- -- no -- risk if you think they're working them they're paying contribution of -- for the system.
I think a lot of people will agree we need a better system but she got a combatant keep talking about -- Great system that I think the public agrees but I appreciate being on here -- Appreciate your point of view -- Why did you and you are -- -- comeback professor Eric -- in Social Security works co director.

ALBANY, GA -- Real football is back at Westover- play defense, control the clock and run the football. That's the mantra of Patriots Head Coach Octavia Jones, and those are the strengths of the 2012 football team. The Patriots have a luxury of running backs at their disposal this fall.
"We have three guys that we feel like could go start for any team in our region. We think they are that good, so we're excited about having that opportunity to go out and play real football," Coach Jones said.
In 2012, Coach Jones can push the revolving door of skill players and keep coming through with more talent. The running attack will be three-pronged with Greene, Jalen Benjamin and Quantravious Moran.
While returning starting quarterback T.J. Wester sees speed to his outside with his wide receivers, Jackie Childs and Kel Miller.
Miller played free safety in 2011 and finished the season with six interceptions. Switching to the other side of the ball, he is expected to be a breakout wide receiver after a strong spring and summer.
A turnaround season in 2011 ended in disappointment. Westover lost four of their six games by less than a touchdown and missed the playoffs on the regular season's final week. Senior linebacker Don Mills remembers the 27-10 loss to Monroe High and it's still painful to think about.
"To see the playoffs slip through our hands like that, it was heartbreaking," Mills said. "That's why this year I know myself and a lot of my other seniors...we got together and we wanted to do good things."
"We've just got to see if we can apply those lessons that we learned from those close losses last year and use this hard work that we put in to the offseason to turn those losses in to victories," Jones said.
There's a lot of confidence coming from the Patriots practice field. With six returning starters on each side of the ball, depth is the only concern for Coach Jones. The leadership aspect of the team is covered by seniors hungry for a region title.
"My class, the 2013 class we want to be better leaders than the class before us. Our team is going to go as far as we take them," Mills said.
"This team is extremely hungry, extremely hungry. That's the thing that I loved about them this summer. They want to win, they understand what it takes to win. Now they want to hit the field and go hit somebody else," Coach Jones said.

Deon Pinder
At West High, Pinder always knew he would have his opportunity to play football, which was of his favorite sport during his freshman year.
Soon he learned that football is just one of his talents. His mother urged him to go out for the track and field team, where the speed and agility that made him a starting defensive back and running back would also be a bonus on the track.
"I didn't want to do it at all, but I was trying to do track to get faster for football, and she told me to stick with it," he said. "I started to realize that I was really good at it."
He competed in the triple jump at the Sac-Joaquin Section Masters meet his sophomore year and just missed the cut for the California Interscholastic Federation state championships. He kept getting better at the event, and set a new school triple jump record at the Masters meet last year (48-4).
This year he set a new Tri-City Athletic League record (48-7) at the league meet on May 8. He now makes his second trip to the CIF state meet after he won the triple jump (47-11¼) at this year's Masters meet on May 24 and 25.
Participation in track and field was his ticket to the University of Oklahoma, where he will join the NCAA Division I Sooners track and field team, and study kinesiology.
Pinder said that the drive to excel in athletics is part of his plan for success. He said his role as a student-athlete also required him to learn how to balance academics with workouts.
"To me doing sports isn't just about competition," he said. "It's basically preparing me for life."
"You have to keep your priorities straight, make sure you're doing everything you're supposed to do at the right time," he said. "God gave me talent and it would be a sin to put it to waste, so I say to other people, if you want to be good at something you can be. Don't give up on dreams."
Nina Pritchett
Nina Pritchett grew up loving sports, basketball in particular, and the Wolf Pack athletic teams would be her chance to make the most of the high school experience.
She's played basketball all four years, played volleyball her first two years at West, and she joined the track and field team in her sophomore year.
"I've made many friends, not just in volleyball and basketball and track," she said. "I've made friends on the football team, the softball team, because we all have something in common. We're all competitive students. We all love sports."
Pritchett has been a leading rebounder and scorer for three years on the varsity girls basketball team. She then got into the throwing events in track and field, and since her sophomore year she has made it to the Sac-Joaquin Section Masters meet all three years in the discus and two years in the shot put.
"I've always played basketball and that's been my favorite sport, but the last three years doing track and discovering throwing has probably been one of my favorites. It's an individual sport and I love being competitive just on my own."
She's more determined than ever to keep improving. She intends to stay with basketball and track and field when she heads to San Joaquin Delta College to begin general education studies, with a goal of eventually majoring in computer science or physical therapy at a four-year college.
"Delta is going to be a new start for me, and I hope I get the scholarship I need to go to college from there," she said, adding that she's learned to balance academic and athletics at West in preparation for college.
"One thing I always tell younger kids at West High is develop a study habit now and stick with that throughout high school, college, and anything you do."
