An episode of a show where all the male characters are absent, focusing on the main female characters instead. If the ladies aren't particularly close, such as a Tomboy and Girly Girl dynamic, the circumstances forcing them to work together could lead to mutual respect, and possibly a friendship lasting the rest of the series. If the genre is action or a superhero, then the plot often involves the heroines having to rescue the heroes, usually with all female villains as well. A type of A Day in the Limelight. Occasionally a type of Positive Discrimination. Compare The Bechdel Test, which this trope normally passes.

Renowned Toronto emcee D-Sisive and beatsmith MMac may not be rolling in bucks at the moment, but Tyler Perry's gonna make them millionaires… he just doesn't know it yet. At the very least, having the name of the most powerful black man in cinema attached to their debut single will certainly win SH*T! clicks from curious heads—which seems to be the point. Newly-released promo cut Tyler Perry's SH*T! is an unhinged, allusive lyrical free-for-all. D-Sisive kicks the record off with the attention-grabbing opening couplet, "I tried commitin' suicide while listenin' to Macklemore / But I was too fat to hang from the chandelore," and it only gets more bugged out from there. Over his partner's slow-rolling percussion and staccato keys, the emcee shows off his extensive pop-cultural knowledge, turning everything from David Lee Roth's Panama to the photography of Richard Avedon into material for off-the-wall punchlines. This joint isn't attached to a larger project, but we'll keep you posted on SH*T!'s plans as further details emerge.

Snippets and libraries are both reusable pieces of InDesign content. Anything you can select can be turned into either a snippet or a library object—and can then be used again and again in other InDesign docs.
Both techniques beat copying and pasting. But what's the difference? Why use snippets over libraries … or vice versa?

Everyone knows you can rotate a text frame at any angle you want: 5 degrees, 63 degrees, etc. The text then tags along with it.

Your design is done. It looks great! But when you go to print it, InDesign squawks at you. It's finding problems that aren't detectable to the naked eye: overset text, missing fonts, missing links. That's all fine and good—but why doesn't InDesign alert you to these issues earlier in the process?

Most Photoshop and Illustrator users are familiar with the concept of a mask: a layer or selection that hides the artwork immediately beneath it.
Though you won't find the word "mask" in InDesign, you can still create masking effects with this technique from David Blatner, involving InDesign's Knockout Group option. He'll also show you how to edit your masks and preserve them when you export to PDF. Watch the free video below to get started.

Designing a book cover can be a chore. The spine can be particularly challenging when you're not sure how wide the final printed book will be.
But if your layout is set up correctly, InDesign can help you resize the cover to fit. In this week's free episode of InDesign Secrets, David Blatner shows you how to set up your InDesign document and lay out a book jacket, including front, back, and spine.

Designers collect fonts like magpies. True font enthusiasts may have thousands of typefaces loaded on their computer at any one time. So how do you find the one you need? Anne-Marie Concepción spills the secrets to sorting and filtering fonts in InDesign CC. Earlier versions of InDesign offer a few of these tricks, but as Anne-Marie reveals in this week's movie, the search field in CC make it easier than ever to find the font you need: Arial to Zapfino, light, bold, or condensed.

Ronaldo in showcase as United come to town
MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo faces former club Manchester United for the first time in a mouth-watering Champions League last-16 first leg at the Bernabeu on Wednesday dripping in history and intrigue.
The world's most expensive player has won over the Bernabeu faithful with some breathtaking performances and will have the perfect opportunity to showcase his talents against the Premier League leaders.
The managerial battle between Real's Jose Mourinho and United's Alex Ferguson is another fascinating aspect of the tie but Ronaldo's bid to destroy his old team mates should take centre stage as two of the world's biggest clubs lock horns.
Seen as a more mature and less selfish player, Ronaldo has a chance to live up to comparisons with former Real great Alfredo Di Stefano as he faces United for the first time since the club paid 94 million euros to lure him to Spain in 2009.
Now 28, he made his name in England after joining from Sporting as an 18-year-old in 2003 and went on to win the World Player of the Year award five years later.
He has been in scintillating form since the turn of the year and warmed up for the United game with a hat-trick in a 4-1 destruction of Sevilla, earning a rousing ovation from the home faithful when he was substituted late on.
It is a significant turnaround from a difficult patch earlier in the season when he raised eyebrows and prompted talk of an exit from the club by telling reporters he was unhappy "for professional reasons".
Ronaldo said it was not about money and he and the club now appear to have put it all behind them so he can focus on helping Real secure the 10th European crown that has eluded them since their last triumph in 2002.
"The Champions League is very special at Madrid because we want to win a 10th European title," Ronaldo said in an interview with British daily The Sun. "For me it is the pinnacle.
"There are so many memorable matches that remain in the minds of the players and the fans. I want to make my contribution, I want to leave my mark."
Ronaldo spent six seasons with United and scored 118 goals in 292 games.
At Real he has netted 182 in 179 matches, a far higher goals-per-game ratio than Di Stefano's 308 in 396 appearances in the 1950s and 60s when he helped the club to five successive European titles.
Wednesday's match also renews the intriguing rivalry between Mourinho and Ferguson who have struck up a friendship over the years and are known to enjoy a glass of wine together.
"I feel privileged to be his friend because he is one of the most important people in the football world and, much more importantly, because he is a good person," Mourinho said after watching United beat Everton 2-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday.
"Madrid-United is the match that everyone wants to see. The world won't be watching any other Champions League games so I hope we can give the world what they expect."
Mourinho has faced United twice at this stage of the Champions League, starting with Porto's success on the way to winning the trophy in 2004.
As Inter Milan coach, the Portuguese lost to United in the last 16 five years later but during three years in London as Chelsea manager he suffered only one reverse to the Manchester club, winning five games and drawing four.
History favours Real. They have won three of their four previous European ties against United - in the semi-finals in 1956-57 and the quarter-finals in 1999-2000 and 2002-03.
United eliminated Real in the 1967-68 semi-finals.
Real have won eight of their last nine home Champions League games while United have been victorious only twice in 20 visits to Spain.
United defender Rio Ferdinand, who played in the last-eight game against Real 10 years ago, told UEFA.com any contact he had with Ronaldo had dried up as the European showdown approached.
"We've had a few texts but when you get into a situation like this when you're coming up against a friend, all the texts and the conversations go to one side and you don't really speak until you actually get the game over and done with," he said.
Asked how United planned to thwart Ronaldo, he added: "You get as many people around the ball when he's got it as possible!
"But no, Madrid are that good a side you have to make sure you're set up right and that your team are in good positions all over the pitch to defend."
The return leg is at United's Old Trafford stadium on March 5.
Probable teams:
Real: 41-Diego Lopez; 17-Alvaro Arbeloa, 3-Pepe, 4-Sergio Ramos, 5-Fabio Coentrao; 14-Xabi Alonso, 6-Sami Khedira; 22-Angel Di Maria, 10-Mesut Ozil, 7-Cristiano Ronaldo; 9-Karim Benzema
Manchester United:
1-David de Gea, 2-Rafael, 3-Patrice Evra, 5-Rio Ferdinand, 15-Nemanja Vidic, 16-Michael Carrick, 23-Tom Cleverley, 8-Anderson, 7-Antonio Valencia, 10-Wayne Rooney, 20-Robin van Persie
Referee: Felix Brych (Germany) (Editing by Ed Osmond)

Humans Are Like RagdollsMaybe humans are like ragdolls.Some of us are manufactured,With stitches that are a bit off.And we get put back on the shelf.While others are made perfectly,Included with bows and pretty dresses.But eventually we all get loose strings,And we become such tattered, worn out things.We all eventually pull at these loose endsUntil we all unravel.And some can be sewn back together,While others are broken forever.

Stardust.Your body is a universeWith your heart as its sun,And it has been pumpingTo keep you aliveSince you begun –A whole sunWants you here.Your lungs are two galaxies;Each an inhaling and exhalingMilky WayAnd they work their hardestTo keep you okay –Two entire galaxiesWant you to stay.Your blood cells are meteors,Zooming aroundGoing as fast they canTo keep you safe and sound –Millions of magnificent meteorsWant you around.Our souls are night skiesAnd our flawsAre constellations thatMake us who we are –Making us each as uniqueAs each and every star.Please, don't become a supernova tonight.
BipolarThere's that moment when I wake up in the morning,And without a warning.I feel myself plunge into the ocean.As my thoughts drown me,Like anchors tied to my ankles.And I feel the water all around me.I am being consumed by the sea,Of me.My mind is my own worst enemy.There's that moment when I wake up in the morning,And I get that feeling.In my chest,But it's not pain.I feel like I am actually sane.Or maybe a little more than that,I feel creativity and happiness,And just plain joy.I can't describe this emotion,I just know that I actually feel alive.Maybe even more than that.And I can laugh and I am okay.But then there is the next day.And the next,Until it all goes away.And then I am neutral.I am not manic.I am not depressed.I am not anything.I feel bored, irritated.I don't know what I am.Just plain, nothingness.I don't feel creativity flow through my finger tips,I feel this might be a sinking ship,As neutral,Fades to the next hour or so.And I am once aga
God's PaintbrushI've learned that God's paintbrush is incredibly flawed,with lashes picked at, and bristles torn nearly off.I don't think everybody likes what God paints,because we're always trying to smear it away.We cut off a few pounds, or cut up some skin,when we soil the paper, we throw it in the trash bin.I think His paper has been sauntered with tears,or blood, and vulgar language from our peers.Like others have taken His brush and dipped it in oil,and have painted themselves, in a way that's soiled.I knew that God's paintbrush was incredibly flawed,but that doesn't mean that we should change it at all."Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," they say,perhaps it would be better to keep it that way.I'm incredibly certain that God makes no mistake,I think that we do, when we try to be fake.When we take His art into our own hands,and when we ruin the strokes that He carefully commands.I don't really think that God wants us to be perfect,if so, then He wouldn't take th

Bobby Labonte, the 2000 NASCAR Cup champion, will have a vastly different supporting cast in 2012, JTG/Daugherty Racing announced Sunday. The team is adding Todd Berrier as crew chief and general manager of the No. 47 Toyota. Frank Kerr, the current crew chief, will transition into shop foreman. JTG/D also will add Laerte Zatta as director of engineering. In addition to the personnel changes, JTG/D will open its own shop in 2012 in Harrisburg, NC. The team has shared space the past three years in Cornelius, NC, with Michael Waltrip Racing. Also, JTG/D will transfer engine programs from TRD to Triad Racing Technologies. "Most people do not realize how much of a team's success is based on the preparation that goes on at the shop," said Tad Geschickter, founder and co-owner of JTG/Daugherty Racing. "We appreciate Frankie's dedication and know that without his efforts we would not be standing here today. He will do a great job ensuring that our processes and pr...

Hello. My husband's connections to the Acrey name and Georgia go back to John Acrey, his grandfather, who came to Arkansas around the beginning of the last century.
John Acrey, his wife and his young family came on a steam engine train to central Arkansas.
John was married to Mattie Ketchum and had two daughters when they left Georgia around about 1902. Later on a son Joe and three more daughters were born to this couple. They lived and died in White County, Arkansas. According to what I have been told, those
Acre/Acree folks at Georgetown in White County were John's cousins.
I believe John's parents were William and Margaret Cleveland Cash Acree. That spelling of the surname is what we found when on their grave marker when we went to Georgia back in the early 80's.
All of this was around Dalton, Georgia. The cousins we found at that time all said the family was from Banks County, Georgia.
Does anyone have some input to share?

The Bullfighter Checks Her Makeup: My Encounters with Extraordinary People (Google eBook)
Random House Publishing Group, Mar 10, 2001 - Social Science - 294 pages
The bestselling author of The Orchid Thief is back — and she's brought some friends — in this wonderfully entertaining collection of the acclaimed New Yorker writer's best and brightest profiles. Meet more than thirty-five of Susan Orlean's favorite people — from the well known (Bill Blass and Tonya Harding) to the unknown (a typical ten-year-old boy) to the formerly known (the 1960s girl group the Shaggs).
Passionate people. Famous people. Short people. Young people. And one championship show dog named Biff, who from a certain angle looks a lot like President Clinton.
Orlean transports us into the lives of some rather eccentric individuals, like the man who has spent thirty years selling nothing but ceiling fans; or Bob Silverstein, maker of the Big Chair — the creme de la creme of oversized chairs used for novelty photographs at carnivals. Others are living highly unusual lives, like Cristina Sanchez, the eponymous bullfighter, the first woman to become a matador in Spain; or the African king who drives a taxi in New York City and keeps his throne in his living room. Whether describing the sun-drenched existence of a Maui surfer girl or the devoted life of the Jackson Southernaires — a traveling gospel group — Orlean writes with such insight and candor that readers will feel as if they've met each and every one of these unconventional folks.
Susan Orlean brings her wry sensibility, exuberant voice, and peculiar curiosities to a fascinating range of subcultures — sports and music and hairdressing and real estate, among others. The result is a joyful, luminous tour of the human condition via an eclectic array of people, as seen through the eyes of one of America's most entertaining and original literary journalists.

Lahaina Budget Vacation Rentals(43)

Recent Lahaina Reviews
A little bit of Everything
Great place to stay! Clean and had everything we needed. Just a quick walk to shops and Front street was amazing at night . Rent a car to get beaches - they are cheap. Will definitely go back to the same place.
Upscale Puamana
This condo is beautiful; lots of tasteful stone and woods. Each of the two queen bedrooms has a luxurious bathroom (loved the walk-in shower in the master), and the 3rd bathroom downstairs isn't just a powder room...it has a shower (also houses the washer/dryer) so our teenaged son who slept on the very comfortable airbed downstairs (super easy to set up AND put away) wasn't inconvenienced. The master suite has an elegant patio but the traffic noise from the highway can be intrusive. Still, we enjoyed mornings on the downstairs patio with a nice view of the ocean beyond the condos across the street, and found the 30-second stroll to the waves irresistible. Lisa was a charming host, and everything we could possibly want was available in this gorgeous condo. Puamana is a sentimental favorite with it's grassy grounds, plumerias everywhere, and old-Hawaii-style clubhouse. Relax with a cocktail by the oceanside lap pool and watch the sunset as local surfers launch at your feet. [FYI: this pool is for lap swimming and viewing only. Behavior is strictly monitored by Puamana residents who are very protective of this gem. You'll want to take the kids and the floaties to another pool].
My Magnificent Maui Vacation
My husband and I had the pleasure of staying in this wonderful mountain view condo for 10 days and nights. The owners were great hosts and went above and beyond to accomodate every need. The murphy bed was awesome as it gave us added room and the full use of a living room during the day. It was very clean and nicely decorated in the Hawaiian theme with beautiful local art. The added bonus of the many music CD's was much enjoyed and there is a large library of current DVD video's as well. (We didn't watch any because we were too busy having fun.) I felt more like a guest in someone's home than a client in a hotel. There is an abundance of kitchen essentials, big, fluffy towels, comfy pillows, everything you could think of and more. The convenience of this codo was also a huge plus. The Lahaina Shores is within a 15-20 minute walk to anywhere in Lahaina, no car is necessary and it takes 5 minutes to get downtown. The town is wonderful, I much prefer it to Ka'anapali. There is beautiful local and international art galleries, wonderful restaurants, nightlife, every shop imaginable without being cheesy and touristy. Do Banyan Tree Park - stunning, plus art/craft festivals on Weekends. Most amazing, watching the Humpback Whales play all day long right from the resort. I highly recommend you come here during whale season (mid-Dec to end of April). Do a whale watch tour, also fabulous Luau's - we did Feast at Lele`. Expensive, but well worth every penny - Also it is right next to the resort so if you have one too many Maitai's or Pina Colada's from the free open bar, you merely need to stumble a few feet to get back. Also, snorkeling was at Molokini was great, swiming with the Sea Turtles at Olawalu - fabulous!!! (my personal favorite). Definitely see concierge MK or Anushka to get the best deals for tours - they'll tell you the best ones for your needs & will save you money. Don't forget to ask for coupons - lots of 2 for 1 dining deals & free deserts. If you do bring a car, drive the coast - stunning, visit the Iao valley - see the Iao needle - breathtaking. Of course Haleakala Crater & Road to Hana - highly recommended, we never did do either of those - that's ok, something to go back for. One caveat! Very limited parking - if you rent a car, be aware. Convenient if travelling away from the town but not needed locally. If we go back, (and we plan to), I wouldn't stay anywhere else. My personal little secret, and now yours too. cj

Eastern Michigan University's Board of Regents plans to vote Wednesday on whether to appoint Susan Martin as the school's first female president in its 159-year history.
Martin would succeed John Fallon, who was fired in the wake of a cover-up of information about a student's December 2006 slaying.
Martin is provost and vice chancellor of academic affairs for the University of Michigan-Dearborn, and was one of four finalists.
Board Chairman Thomas Sidlik says in a statement Sunday that the decision was made to offer the job to Martin after discussions Saturday.
Last week, 21-year-old Orange Taylor III was sentenced to life in prison in the slaying of 22-year-old Laura Dickinson in her dorm room at the Ypsilanti school.

While most stores in this country (and abroad) simply can't meet demand for the Wii this holiday season, there is one store that seems to have no problem getting the systems in stock. GameDaily reports that the Nintendo World store in New York City's Rockefeller Center gets new shipments of the Wii every morning. The GameDaily reporter says that, on two recent visits, the store had "at least 20 [Wiis] lined up behind the main counter. Just Wii boxes waiting for the next person in line."
Well, either that reporter had some good timing or the word has gotten out among New York's Nintendo fans, because WCBS Radio reports that 200 people were camped outside the store in the early morning before opening this Tuesday. One waiting New Yorker told the interviewer that she had ventured all the way out to Richmond, Va. to try and find a system. We bet Greenpeace would blame Nintendo for all the gas burned on the trip, too.
For those of you who can't quite make it to New York City, you can always try using ZapTXT to alert you the moment when your local store gets shipments. Remember: nice guys finish last, so don't be afraid to break all local traffic laws speeding to the store upon receiving word. Godspeed, good shoppers.

UT bringing custodians in-house to implement "total cleaning" at Knox campus
The Knoxville campus of the University of Tennessee is moving all of its custodial services back "in-house," ending all agreements with outside cleaning contractors — a transition that will make all custodial workers UT employees by July 1, 2013.
According Gordon Nelson, general superintendent of Building Services, the move initially will cost $500,000 more than the current contract does, which is more than $3 million annually, but the UT custodial employees will be able to all of the work needed without the extra costs contractors would charge.
"It was a very limited service contract covering 4 million square feet. They weren't doing carpet care or hard floor maintenance," he said. "We'll be self-contained, and there won't be extra charges. Even though we're looking at half million more than what we gave the contractor, we'll be looking at breaking even when you look at the extras we'll provide in-house."
Nelson said the university administration wants to improve the first impression people get when going into a building.
"The university feels they can accomplish that best by bring cleaning services in-house and by having 'total cleaning,' which means crews have the ability to do carpet care, hard floors maintenance, and they can do all details of housekeeping," he said.
Nelson said the current contract uses more than 100 full- and part-time employees to care for 260 buildings. "We'll be adding 120, so we'll be more than doubling our staff," he said. "We're looking at going with full-time UT employees with benefits."
Nelson said GCA Services contract ends in July, but they are working with UT in the transition as UT hires personnel and buys equipment.
"We can't switch 4 million square feet in a few months, so we'll transition to do our cleaning in-house in the next 18 months," he said.

Tampa, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Steven Stamkos continued his recent tear by putting up two more goals to lead the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 4-2 decision over the Edmonton Oilers at Tampa Bay Times Forum.
Stamkos' 12th and 13th markers of the season supported a 38-save performance by Ben Bishop that helped the Lightning to a third straight win and sixth triumph in seven outings. The All-Star center is riding a five-game goal scoring streak and has recorded a point in seven consecutive contests.
"I'm not very happy with the way we played tonight. If it weren't for (Bishop) we don't win that game. We'll take it, it is tough to win in this game. You can't expect to win in the long run if we play that way," Stamkos said.
Tyler Johnson and Valtteri Filppula also had goals for Tampa Bay, which improved to 7-2-0 at home as well.
Taylor Hall returned from a knee injury to register one of Edmonton's two tallies, with Taylor Fedun accounting for the other. Devan Dubnyk stopped 22- of-25 shots in the loss, the Oilers sixth in seven games.
Both of Stamkos' goals came off Edmonton turnovers in the Oilers' zone during the opening period.
Nail Yakupov was knocked off the puck by the Lightning's Alex Killorn with the game still scoreless, with Stamkos retrieving the loose disc and firing a wrister past the stick side of Dubnyk 7:37 into the contest.
Stamkos forced a giveaway on his own late in the period, then skated behind the Edmonton net and put a wraparound try through the 5-hole of Dubnyk 53 seconds prior to the intermission for a 2-1 Tampa edge.
In between, Fedun rifled home a pass from Jordan Eberle near the midway mark of the frame to get the Oilers on the board. It was the rookie defenseman's second goal in as many NHL games.
"They did a great job collapsing down, but they left a spot open in the slot and I was just able to rifle it home," said Fedun.
Bishop made the lead stand by turning aside all 16 shots he faced in the second period, including a breakaway attempt from Hall, and Johnson made it a two-goal differential 1:27 before the close of the session.
Taking in a well-placed feed from Richard Panik, Johnson found an opening from the slot to put the Lightning on top by a 3-1 count.
Hall managed to close the gap with Edmonton on a power play just past the midway mark of the third period. Stationed in the right circle, the former No. 1 overall pick rocketed a wicked wrist shot that landed just under the crossbar.
Dubnyk was pulled with a little over 1 1/2 minutes left, but Filppula beat an Edmonton defender to a puck sent to the boards in the neutral zone and flung it down the ice into the open net to seal the victory.

Awkward? Us? Never!
If the unions are so angry with the government, why is their top man so placatory? Francis Beckett e
If the unions are so angry with the government, why is their top man so placatory? Francis Beckett e
by Francis Beckett Published
These days, a candidate in a trade union election who gets labelled a Blairite might as well give up - his campaign is dead in the water. The so-called "awkward squad" of trade union general secretaries, which loathes new Labour and all its works, wins a recruit every time a general secretary retires and his members have the chance to vote in a new one. Developments such as foundation hospitals and the widening gap between poor and rich have got trade unionists asking: what do we support Labour for? And that could lead to a big hole in the party's coffers.
But you could spend hours with Brendan Barber, now starting his first TUC Congress as general secretary, and you would learn none of that. When I met this diplomatic, softly spoken mandarin the other day, the thing he said was: "A key objective I've set myself is that we need to strive for a greater level of understanding with the government."
He is discreetly, but unmistakably, irritated with unions that spurn the ministerial embrace. He thought the government worked well with the teachers' unions to get a recent settlement, and regrets that "the agreement did not embrace all unions: at the end of the day, the National Union of Teachers did not feel it could sign up to the agreement". TUC leaders never criticise member unions, and Barber's language is always careful, so that is the equivalent of a ferocious rebuke.
Does new Labour make him feel like "an embarrassing elderly relative at a family gathering", as his predecessor John Monks once put it? Not at all. Maybe in John's time (well, Barber could hardly say Monks was talking rubbish), but not now.
Barber is investing a great deal in his hope that the government will start listening to the unions again: "I've been prepared to give credit to the government for the positive things they've done. Perhaps I've been more prepared to give that credit than some of my colleagues." That's the understatement of the century. "In return, I'd like the government to challenge unions in positive ways." He wants ministers to see the unions as part of the solution, not part of the problem. He wants to be consulted.
He even questions the whole idea that there is an "awkward squad" in the TUC. "This is overwritten," he says. "The idea is demeaning to those whose names get mentioned as members of that parti- cular squad. I sense some irritation on their part."
All this is very odd. Barber must know perfectly well that the awkward squad isn't a media creation: it is a definable group of disaffected union leaders. Their regular meetings began as a group of leftish leaders of small unions, such as the journalists' Jeremy Dear and the college lecturers' Paul Mackney, partly to stop them being rolled over by right-wing leaders of big unions. Then the big unions, too, started to elect disaffected leaders, such as Derek Simpson at Amicus-AEEU and Tony Woodley at the Transport and General Workers'. Some, like Woodley, believe that Labour needs radical change; others, like Mark Serwotka at the Public and Commercial Services Union, think the Labour Party is no longer worth the unions' support and money.
Barber insists he "reflects the frustrations", especially in private when he meets ministers, and I am sure he does, but his public stance is extraordinary for the leader of a movement that is increasingly in open revolt against the political party it created a century ago.
He can offer cogent arguments for his approach. It is good marketing to show that the unions influence the government. He thinks that attacking the government aids the Conservatives. And he is by nature a calm conciliator, a quiet persuader. He's spent a lifetime doing these things, and does them well.
But the real reason why the TUC's head is so far away from its heart lies not in these tactical arguments, but in the nature of the TUC itself, and the traditional role of its general secretary.
In trade unions, members elect the general secretary. If they want a change from the old leadership, they will have one. Derek Simpson and Tony Woodley were both elected in the teeth of opposition from their predecessors. Mark Serwotka's predecessor wanted to get the courts to annul the election.
But the TUC leader is not elected by the members. More than that, the choice is made in a way that is specifically designed to ensure that it does not reflect any currents of thinking that may be going on at the time.
The general secretary, invariably, is someone who has worked his way up the ladder at Congress House. Brendan Barber, now aged 52, has worked there since he was 24. I first heard his name mentioned internally as a likely future general secretary when he became the (highly efficient) head of press and information in 1979. Monks spent 34 years with the organisation that he joined as a policy assistant in 1969.
The only serious attempt to bring in someone from outside Congress House was made by Jack Jones, the powerful transport workers' leader, nearly two decades ago.
Jones failed because the big unions see the TUC as a convenient bureaucracy, not as the political leadership of their movement. They prefer to provide political leadership themselves. The danger of this approach is that, while Congress House produces able, intelligent people such as Brendan Barber, such people may not represent the mood of the movement that they lead.

There's no doubt about it; planning a wedding can be extremely stressful. As if you don't already have enough going on with work, daily responsibilities and your seemingly fading social life, finding time to put a wedding together and also get a decent night's sleep can be very difficult. All you want is to reach for your favorite pint of ice cream for a bit of comfort and solace but alas, that's not very wedding diet-friendly.
Luckily, there are plenty of delicious snacks to munch on that are not only healthy, but can help you to de-stress, as well. Check them out:
Shelled Pistachios – Super yummy and rich in heart healthy nutrients, choosing shelled nuts can actually help you to eat less since it takes a bit longer to get past the shell. Plus, being able to physically crack open those shells can serve as an awesome outlet for your stress.
Dark Chocolate – Here's an excuse to get your chocolate fix, guilt-free! Studies have shown that eating just one ounce of dark chocolate can help to relax your blood vessels and alleviate stress. So sit back and enjoy a bite or sip on a cup of cocoa made with real dark chocolate and feel the stress roll off your shoulders.
Seafood – Yeah, this one surprised us, too! Evidently, seafood is rich with DHA/EPA, which helps to balance stress levels. As an added bonus, it's also a great option for those who are looking to shed a few pounds before saying I Do.
Looking for more de-stressing snacks to choose from? Brides Magazine may have a few more options to choose from. Have any more that you'd like to add to the list? Let us know in the comments section below!

It has become a normal occurrence that businesses transition to their online counterparts. Conducting transactions has now become impacted by the advancements of technology. The Internet, among others, is the common platform that companies use to connect to people and potential customers around the world.
Now, launching your own website is a big step. Through it, you can be able to introduce your name, alongside the products and services you readily offer. But more than that, here are some tips that you can implement in your online store's web design.
Going simple and direct can be an asset. This can be from the colours you choose and the positioning of elements. Pick out shades that can be related to your niche. For example, if you offer flooring services, you can be like the AxleTile garage flooring site where they use basic and minimal tones. Or if you are a company that caters to children, bright colours would be a better choice.
Arrangement of content should be wisely done as well. Navigation links must be of big font sizes that people can just identify and click on. Using a different hue for them would be great too. When it comes to your blog posts, you must be clear and precise. Publicise only those that are related to your niche and your business, in general. Keeping a search bar can also help your visitors in cruising around your site.
For your products and services, adding pictures and other media forms can help engage the public. A page will all text can be quite boring. To avoid that, you can just simply throw in some photos. Put high quality ones though. Mediocre ones will still not build interest. They must be appropriate and safe as well.
If you are to establish an interactive website, a technique that you can apply is the implementation of goods status. As one browses through your portal, they can directly see that the commodities you provide may be available or not. This is good because you are not giving false hope to potential clients. Since they are already informed that a particular product is out of stock, they will just carry on and look for other things they can purchase. Moreover, variations of materials and colours must be stated.
Make it too that customers can narrow down and/or widen their choices. This is through the help of categories and such. If they click a specific category, they will then be led to a page that houses all that fits the bill of that concept – just like that.
In essence, it is vital that you keep your website a clean and organised one. In this way, people can easily look into the site and see what they want and need. Basically, there is no hassle.
Most importantly, your contact information like your email address and phone number must be clearly represented. Check the spelling and order of letters and words because any lapse, even minor, can affect your business.
