Drop Dead Fred is a 1991 British-American fantasy comedy film directed by Ate De Jong, produced by PolyGram Filmed Entertainment and Working Title Films and released and distributed by New Line Cinema. Although promoted as a lighthearted children's film, there are notable adult themes and gags, with elements of black comedy, emotional abuse, mental illness, bizarre visual and make-up effects, gross-out humor and some profanity.
Rik Mayall stars as the title character: a happy, anarchic, and mischievous imaginary friend of a young girl named Elizabeth (Phoebe Cates) and arch nemesis of her overbearing mother Polly (Marsha Mason). Drop Dead Fred causes chaos around the home and neighborhood, but nobody can see Fred except Elizabeth. When Elizabeth grows up and has an emotional crisis, Fred returns to "cheer her up" in his own unique way, causing more chaos than ever before. The supporting cast includes Carrie Fisher, Ron Eldard, Tim Matheson, and Bridget Fonda.
Lizzie Cronin is an unassertive and repressed woman, domineered by her controlling mother Polly. While taking her lunch break from work, Lizzie calls her husband Charles, from whom she is separated, hoping to sort out their problems. He reasserts his desire for a divorce and says that he is in love with another woman named Annabella. While Lizzie is at the public phone, first her purse is stolen, then her car. Forced to walk back to work, she arrives late and loses her job. Polly then appears, again takes control, and brings Lizzie back to the home where she grew up.
While rummaging through past belongings in the closet of her childhood bedroom, Lizzie finds a taped-shut jack-in-the-box. After removing the tape and turning the crank, Lizzie frees her former imaginary friend, Drop Dead Fred (who was apparently her "jack"). Through a series of flashbacks, it is revealed that while Fred caused havoc for Lizzie, he also gave her happiness and a release from her oppressive mother. Fred agrees to help Lizzie become happy again, which she believes will only happen when she wins back her husband. However, Fred's childish antics do more harm than good.
Worried by Lizzie's recent strange behavior, Polly brings her daughter to a psychologist. In the waiting room, Fred is seen meeting up with other patients' imaginary friends. The doctor prescribes medication to rid her of Fred, whom he and Polly believe is a figment of Lizzie's imagination. Lizzie also changes her appearance and wardrobe. Charles now wants her back and Lizzie is overjoyed, until Fred discovers he is still cheating on Lizzie with Annabella. Heartbroken, Lizzie tells Fred that she cannot leave Charles, because she is scared of being alone. The two escape to a dream sequence in which Lizzie is finally able to reject Charles, stand up to her mother Polly and declare she is no longer afraid of her. Fred tells Lizzie that she does not need him anymore, they kiss and he disappears into her eternal subconscious.
Upon waking from the dream, Lizzie leaves Charles and asserts herself to her mother, who blames Lizzie for her father leaving home. Before leaving, Lizzie reconciles with her mother, and encourages her to find a friend to escape her own loneliness. Lizzie goes to her friend Mickey's house, and on meeting, they both express interest in becoming more than just friends. After Mickey's daughter Natalie comes up to them and blames Drop Dead Fred for mischief that has just prompted her nanny to quit, Lizzie realizes that Fred is now with Natalie. Lizzie can no longer see Fred, but he is now leading another. She just smiles.

Box office[edit]
Drop Dead Fred was released theatrically in North America on April 19, 1991, and fared well (for an independent film), grossing $3,625,648 on its opening weekend, and $13,878,334 over its entire theatrical run.[2] It was Working Title's first financial hit and was (for a time) the most successful independent film released in Australia.
Critical response[edit]
The film received negative reviews; Leonard Maltin stated that "Phoebe Cates' appealing performance can't salvage this putrid mess... recommended only for people who think nose-picking is funny."[citation needed] Rotten Tomatoes gave Drop Dead Fred a score of 9% based on 34 reviews.[3]
Although the film was usually cited as a comedy, some critics also took note of its psychological aspects. Writing for Entertainment Weekly, Margaret Lyons asked, "...is it supposed to be hilarious, or a really, really depressing story about the long-term effects of emotional abuse?"[4] Writing for Mystical Movie Guide, Carl J. Schroeder wrote, "The imaginary friend is cavortingly rude for a reason; he served to push the girlchild to do mischief for attention and as a cry for help. Now grown up, the woman has forgotten and is about to lose her soul, so events call for some kind of literal return of her demon to force the exposure of her pain. This psychic crisis is poignantly realistic... The creature who is visible only to the woman is like a poltergeist energy of her repressed self, a problematic ego container into which her powers of assertion and creativity were poured and stored. The movie's resolution is startlingly beautiful..."[5]

Decor Plan for the Bedroom
This long weekend, I'm excited to put together our bedroom. Here's what I have planned for the decor:
duvet cover, decorative pillows, headboard, lamp, side table, sheet set, rug
As much as I'd love to get everything new, we aren't starting from scratch – the majority of items are carried over from our previous apartment. The rug we previously had in our old bedroom, and the side tables and lamps are the ones we previously had in our old living room.
The main things that will make this bedroom look different than our last, will be the paint color and the bedding – both of which I think make a significant impact. For the wall color, we went with navy on the the two main walls, and a light grey on other two walls to keep it from feeling too dark. As for the bedding we've chosen a beautiful grey border duvet from Crane and Canopy and two new decorative pillows from my shop. I'll be posting peeks on Instagram – I hope you'll follow along!

My Home Tour + Sources
As mentioned in a previous post, earlier this month, Style Me Pretty Living, one of my favorite lifestyle sites, featured a tour of my previous home. Since the feature went up, I've received inquires about the sources of some things, so I thought I'd post a complete list here for anyone else who may also be curious to know. Because the apartment was a rental that we planned to live in for only about 2 years or so and we had other priorities financially, when it came to decorating and furnishing it, we did so on a small budget, splurging only on a few select pieces. BTW, this post from 2012 shows a few photos of what the place looked like when we first moved in!
sofa - Crate and Barrel (crazy comfortable!) , pillows - Arianna Belle, blue abstract artwork - commissioned from Parima Studio, gold square wall frames – Target (they were originally silver and I spray painted them), white tufted ottoman - Target, round gold mirrored tray - World Market, large white tray - West Elm, coasters - Anthropologie, small gold bowl – Target, blue rug - Overstock, sunburst mirror - Home Depot (a total steal!), turquoise vases – Target, double gourd lamps - Overstock, black side tables – Ikea, white media unit - Ikea - customized it by painting the back blue, small light blue lacquer box - Swing Design, sheepskin – Ikea, paint color - Horseradish C15-1 by Olympic
white pendant light - Lamps Plus, white round tulip table - Ikea, clear acrylic chairs - Ikea, gold flatware - West Elm, black and white placemats - Serena and Lily, paint color - Horseradish C15-1 by Olympic
gold tray – West Elm, glass decanter – Target, french opaline turquoise glasses – vintage (you can find similar ones on eBay, Etsy, and flea markets), white shelves – Ikea, pot rack – Ikea, stainless steel mixing bowls – Joss and Main, blue treat jar – Homegoods, cookbooks – It's All Good, The Kind Diet, My Father's Daughter, Eating the Alkaline Way, Crazy Sexy Kitchen, Superfood Kitchen, Barefoot Contessa at Home

white desk – Ikea, leopard pillow - Arianna Belle, shelving unit - Ikea, rug – Overstock , doube gourd lamps – Target, black quatrefoil mirror - Target, artwork - Parima Studio, turquoise binders - Office Depot, orange tray - West Elm, file box – Office Depot
Q: The base of my Docksta table gets dirty easily from people resting their feet on it, how do you keep yours clean?
A: Magic Erasers!
Q: How did you hide the wires and cords of your wall mounted TV in your living room?
A: We used these cable management covers we found on Amazon. I've also seen similar ones at home improvement stores.

Home Office Decor Update: Greek Key Tray
The newest decor update in my office is a big beautiful tray that Paloma of La Dolce Vita recently sent over from her Joy & Revelry shop for a White Box Challenge. I decided to put the tray on the surface of my Expedit shelving, which I have right behind my desk, along the back wall. It has been great for containing things that I like to have within arms reach but off my desk. Here's a look:
Things tend to look neater and more stylish when corralled within a tray, wouldn't you agree?
If you haven't already, be sure to check out Paloma's shop, and to get 10% off, use code LDV_WHITEBOX_10.
Hunting for a New Lighting Fixture
The dining room is one of the spaces I've neglected in our home and is in need of a little attention. It's a small little space that is open to the living room. Since moving in, all we've done is bring in the clear chairs we had from our previous home, a white tulip table, and white curtains. The owners of the home (we're renters) left their chandelier and we've left it up because, well, it's functional. It's not really our style though and I've been itching to change it out.
I've been keeping an eye out for light fixtures that I like (and aren't ridiculously expensive). Below is a round-up of what I've found so far. Some of them aren't right for the space but thought they were worth sharing here, for any of you out there who may also be on the hunt for the right light fixture.
1- Five Arm Chandelier, 2- Marmont Pendant, 3- Brass Pendant, 4- Modern Pendant Light, 5- Brass and Glass Globe Pendant
#1 is beautiful but it's probably a bit too fancy for our home. #2 has a fun vibe to it, though I'm not sure if it would emit sufficient light. #3 is a strong contender – I love it's simple elegance. #4 is clean, simple and my husband's favorite. There's also this one, which is similar and I like. #5 is really cool and I love that it's handmade by a fellow small business owner. It's also the most budget friendly. Given the current chairs we have though, bringing this in would probably be too many clear elements in the space. Perhaps if I got new chairs… (haha I wish! …not in the budget right now)
If you happen to come across a light fixture you think I'd like and is reasonably priced, feel free to send it my way. I'm open to options.

More Living Room Progress
Just recently came back from a much needed 4-day mini getaway. For my husband, going camping every year is an absolute must, so we headed out to Lake Cachuma and took day trips to Solvang and the Santa Ynez Valley wine country (see a few snapshots of the trip here). These past few months have been a bit crazy so it was nice to slow things down for a few days and relax.
Back at home, and feeling refreshed, I'm motivated to make some more progress on decorating our little rental apartment. You may remember the last post on my living room it was looking pretty sparse (see the move-in post here). Since then, the main things we've added are the rug and mirror. Here's what it looks like currently:
The mirror was a bargain find from the Home Depot. The rug, also a budget find, is from Overstock.com (bought it using a discount code).
On the list of things to do next:
- make pillows – on the sofa will be two pillows in aga reverse black with black piping, and two black solid with off-white grosgrain ribbon; on the chair will be one lumbar in zig zag french blue with black piping
- paint the side table – I'm thinking possibly this sapphire blue
- make the abstract art I talked about in this post
- bring in a piece of furniture that will store and hide the TV wires, DVDs, xbox, and games
In an upcoming post I'll share with you all, the progress we've made on the bedroom, so stay tuned for that!
p.s. For any of you who may be interested in getting pillows made out of the same fabrics mentioned, email email@example.com for a quote.

My Office Progress
I know I promised more photos of our new place after this post. Well I've finally gotten around to taking some. First up, my office. Here's what it looked like when we first got the keys:
Since then we've painted the walls (it was too dark and depressing before!) and moved in my desk, etc., so here's the progress so far:As you can see, there's still a lot left to do. I love how desks look centered in the room, but the cords in the middle of the floor are definitely a hazard so I have to find a solution for that or move the desk against the wall. On the main wall I'm planning to have an Expedit shelving unit (placed horizontally) and a gallery wall with framed artwork, photos and maybe a mirror. I might move the storage units that are currently on the side wall (with the window) into the closet, depending likely on whether or not I end up moving the desk. The current rug is too small (it's the one I used to have in the closet at my old place) so I'm looking for a replacement – something that will be big enough to cover more of the not-so-pretty carpeting. We shall see! I'll post more pictures as I make more changes

Moved In
We're officially moved into the new place! You don't realize how much stuff you truly own 'til you move! The place is filled with boxes and boxes ready to be unpacked. I personally don't enjoy the process of packing, loading the truck, unloading the truck, etc., but I do enjoy the process of unpacking. Probably because it involves organizing!
Now comes the process of getting settled in and making it feel like home. I can't wait to transform the place. This is what the living room/dining area looked like on the day we got the keys:
It's a nice open layout. From the front door (which you can see on the right in the second photo) you step into a tiny entry and then into the living room. The dining area is adjacent and a sliding door leads out to the patio. Both the living/dining areas are visible from the kitchen. The floors are in good condition and there's a working fireplace (yay!).
The color of the walls wasn't bad, however it didn't really work with our existing furniture and since it's a relatively small space, I wanted it to feel as spacious and bright as possible, so decided to paint the walls a lighter color. I went with Olympic no VOC paint in Horseradish which is a lovely creamy beige. I didn't get a chance to take a good photo of the freshly painted room, but as soon as I get some of the boxes out of the way, I'll be sure to take one and share with you.
Off to catch up on some work then get a start on the unpacking. I'll share some more updates later in the week!

My Closet
Remember awhile back, I mentioned I was painting my sad beige closet?
Well here's how it turned out:
It's now a lot more cheerful
These show only the right side of closet -left side is my husband's. His side has all black boxes on the top shelves (hence the one that shows up in the photo above left)

Peonies + Coffee
Coffee and flowers {especially peonies!} make my mornings very happy. Remember this post? Well last week Trader Joe's finally had some peonies and I of course immediately brought some home with me. Unfortunately they're on their way out {the petals of the ones on my coffee table started to fall off last night} but I thought I'd take a few photos since they're fully open and look absolutely gorgeous:
Here's a shot of them on my desk with my morning coffee and toast {whipped cream cheese+jelly=yuumm!}:

The New Desk & My Home Office
Remember the new desk I was excited about getting delivered? Well we finally got around to setting it up, taking a few pictures, and posting my old one on Craigslist. The old one was a birch veneer Ikea desk I had since college and definitely showed its age. This new one isn't much fancier or much more expensive, after all we're still very much on a budget. However, it's white, clean, simple and works much better with the decor of my humble little home office {a.k.a. the corner of my living room}.
We had to include Little Foot in a shot, as he's a curious little guy and typically likes to be by my side when I'm sitting at my desk

Internal Controls and Accountability – Corporate Culture Necessities
This week another "what is going on" happened in the financial industry. This time it is UBS and 31-year-old UBS trader Kweku Adoboli who is accused of rogue trading with estimated losses now closer to $2.3B. The activity had been occurring for the last three years but according to UBS it just recently uncovered the activity. Sadly, this comes just a few years after the financial crisis of 2008 and UBS' commitment to improve risk-controls and management system after it had a $50B write-down.
Accountability and risk management were areas of opportunity for UBS back in 2008 and part of the commitment Oswald Grübel, CEO made when he joined in 2009 to improve the risk management. Fast-forward to September 2011, and apparently the culture is deeply rooted with folks who are working against the mantra of improved operations and risk management or so it seems.
UBS' story is too familiar to those following the market, corporate culture and the financial industry. In fact UBS's story is eerily similar to Société Générale SA and Jérôme Kerviel, who racked up a $7.2B loss doing the EXACT same thing. Kerviel was accused of making fake trades to hide his losses and repeatedly deleted those trades just before inspections, re-entering them afterward.
If you read Kerviel's and the Soc Gen story, Kerviel will tell you that his leadership knew what was going on and he alleges even helped circumvent the system controls to allow him to make incredibly large trades given his previous successes. Others were also involved, knew what was going on and in fact left the business shortly after the discovery. Regulators on the Soc Gen case, The Bank of France, made 17 routine on-site investigations of Soc Gen in the two years prior to Kerviel's capture and did not detect the matter.
So what is the answer to protect business owners, investors, customers and employees? First off businesses today are operating in a much more complex environment and with a weaker economy. When knowledge and money are scarce, we see the true ethical fabric of people and corporate cultures.
Knowing that we have complex and fast-paced environments, and financially weaker economics, we have to acknowledge that financial controls, IT security, risk management and a "do the right thing" culture are critical to ensuring protection of economic value.
As leaders, I would recommend the following to help create a culture of accountability and oversight:
1) Automation of controls is good but it alone will not do it. Human observation is critical to catch activity when systems do not. In the cases I have been involved in; it was the person who has a funny feeling that triggered the review.
2) Instill in all levels of management the understanding and expectation of risk management as part of their core responsibilities.
3) View new processes, systems, people selection all with the eye of risk avoidance. How can we ensure our data is protected, our systems are secure, our people support a culture of taking care of each other, the investors, the customers and the broader economic community?
4) If you find a flaw, promote it, tell others so they know how it happened, how it was fixed, and that leadership is always on the lookout for other errors.
- If it is a system error, do a full sweep of the systems to inventory and determine if others are out there.
- If personnel related, investigate how rooted the infraction is on the culture. Usually people cannot commit a crime alone…typically there are others who at least know about it if not participated in the act. Determine the depth and breadth of the web of knowledge.
UBS, the world's largest private wealth manager said no client's positions were compromised. However its reputation has been seriously harmed and with their letter to clients this weekend they attempt to provide some assurances "We fully understand this incident has caused you concern. We too are very disappointed, and we assure you that UBS is taking the matter extremely seriously."
Well, what about the letter to its shareholders that lost $2B in operating income, or the 3,500 employee force reduction announced in August with a value of $2B which will appear to cover the loss or the broader market that is teetering in its confidence of the financial industry and market in general?
This was not a single person acting alone in a cone. Several people either activity or passively through lack of controls and accountability played a role in the situation.
We as leaders of companies must understand we are all connected…when we create an environment of strength, values, sustainability and corporate citizenry then we create our own destiny of greatness. Looking away is not an option for us. If internal controls and accountability are not on your short list as a leader….this is your wake up call to make some changes. Too many people are counting on us.

Be Successful in 2020? Expect to be a Writer, a Mentor and always a Futurist
Want to succeed in business? By 2020, I predict we are all going to be measured, in some degree, by how much we share our knowledge with others in personal and written form, how many people we help in their business life and how we educate and empower. I predict:
1) Professor's transition from lecturers to facilitators of the geniuses of their students. Professors knowledge and ability to research will be more critical than ever, however research life cycles will shorten dramatically. Research will come from the students so having the right population will be key. Selection of a course will move from a class topic to an end result both for the student and the professor.
2) Class cost will vary on who is taking the course with you. The more experienced the students the more they have to bring to the table. Therefore for younger less experienced students that want the inside information, they will have to pay a premium. Conversely, those with advanced experience will pay less and be given special benefits such access to mentor and supporter opportunities of less experienced individuals. Classes that are 100% lecture oriented will be migrated to a free service. One-way communication of topics will be helpful to learn the history or fundamentals in order to participate in conversational learning.
3) Business leadership will include not only the ability to influence, to lead and create value and vision but it will also include the ability to create a legacy for themselves which will include who they have mentored, supported, advocated and promoted. A new question will be "how many people have you developed and promoted?"
4) Corporate education, training and corporate universities will be part of the portfolio of "must haves" to compete for top talent. Curriculum will be more advanced than general topics and the frequency similar to strategy meetings. New candidates will ask to see the Company's curriculum and understand the education strategy and tactics before they make a decision.
5) Leaders in business will be expected to write articles, be thought leaders in their space, and help others through creative content. Leaders will be judged on how freely they share their knowledge and how they empower others.
6) Online education will be social and collaborative affecting almost all of our human senses. Online tools will include movie elements such as music, suspense, mystery, love, action and sadness. The duration will be in the form of short film and the style will be interactive.
7) Lines will be completed blurred between education and entertainment. People's awards such as Emmy, People's Choice, and new awards will be given to companies, universities and people who produce award winning "edutainment" content that is impactful.
So what do you do today if this is the future? Start moving your thinking, your leadership and your company in this direction. Be a Writer, a Mentor and a Futurist if you want to be successful. People like pioneers who see it first, go there first and bring others with them.
Your thoughts matter, what do you think?
There is Truth to Both Sides of Every Story
There is truth to both sides of every story…every time. In the business environment, look for the truth to the other side of issue, the story, or the problem. When the two views are complete opposites, try to find the truth that you can live with or the truth that may be hard to swallow. Either way, know that in order to truly move forward empathy and understanding are necessities.
Also, understand that compromise is about leaving some goodwill on the table, creating a solution that works for both, and seeing and hearing the other side of an issue. When people believe their truth has been heard and understood, then real work on a solution is possible and people are more flexible because they were heard.
And finally know it is ok to admit fault and keep moving forward. Leaders that admitted when they were wrong won more influence because they acknowledged it. JFK and the Bay of Pigs is my constant reminder of this notion.
Understand there is truth to both sides of every issue, story, or problem. Look from the other side and see their truth. The old saying "the truth will set you free" could not be more fitting.
Seeing their truth, even partially, will set you and the issue free.
A Hiring Manager's Wish: The Ultimate Job Seeker
Like anything beautiful, great and unique, I have learned anything worth having comes with a hefty price. In this case having a great team means the selection process is comprehensive and thorough.
For the positions I am filling, I receive many resumes and frankly I think I spend more time reviewing than most others. The average hiring manager spends 20 seconds or less "scanning" a resume instead of "reading" a resume. While I spend more time reviewing resumes, my thoughts are I am not just filling the open position but also creating a pool of folks for consideration for other upcoming positions. In my most recent rounds, I have found some really good candidates so keeping up with the top contenders is critical to shortening the hiring process prospectively. Remember when interviewing, you are interviewing to make the callback list whether for this position or another.
With a stack of 80 plus resumes, creativity, precision and individualism are key factors to a successful introduction. That means knowing yourself and your message. Preparing a SWOT Analysis is a great tool to help you stand out from the crowd.
Complete a SWOT Analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats.) Successful resume writers complete a personal SWOT Analysis before they start their resume. If you have not done one and you are out there job searching, complete a SWOT Analysis and consider providing a marketable version of your SWOT as part of your resume portfolio. Recently, a candidate I interviewed provided a personal SWOT Analysis. What I liked about it was that it was an original and fresh view of the whole discussion of strengths and weaknesses. Here is a site that has some good feedback on a personal SWOT. To help with the SWOT, a great tool I use to help identify strengths and possible blind spots is The Keirsey Temperament Sorter®-II (KTS®-II). It is a widely used personality instrument with 70-questions to help the candidates discover their personality type. While you are at it, include your personality type in your resume. For example, I am an ENFP.
Develop a Resume Cloud. Once you have done your SWOT Analysis, compile a list of your core competencies, accomplishments and areas of expertise. These key phrases will help you develop a Resume Cloud. This is a skinnied down version of your resume and it helps keep the conversation pointed to critical areas. The Cloud is visually stimulating and if done well provides key descriptors of who you are and what you have accomplished. Simply put a resume cloud is a series of words randomly patterned to give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently. Wordle has a free site you can us to create your resume cloud. A Resume Cloud can display the character and actions that best describe the candidate.
As a reader of a resume cloud, I am looking for a holistic view. Tell me all sides of you. It makes your story more interesting and memorable. Include personal characteristics that are not commonly used in the work place. Most resumes are not personal or holistic so it leaves the reader wondering if it is a complete proxy for the candidate seeking the position. In order to break the mold, you have to go personal and make a connection. Think of your cloud as your private letter to the reader with the modern day touch. Here is my resume cloud as an example:

Create a Masterpiece Resume. Now that you have a resume cloud, let's make sure you have a killer resume with a personal story. Make sure your resume includes the requisites of: Areas of Expertise, Career Accomplishments and Core Competencies. Also, make sure you include a personal aspect to breathe life into your words. I recently read an article where a Venture Capitalist said he reads a candidate's resumes backwards. Acknowledging that a candidate's volunteer efforts, interests and then accomplishments made for an interesting person and only then would he be interested in talking to them. Ah…be interesting so that others will be interested. Novel concept but it is so true.
When discussing your accomplishments, make them things you truly were the catalyst for, made major AND impactful contributions to or things you started and finished. When interviewing candidates, I try to get past the "actions" and get to the "accomplishments". Running reports, preparing analysis, developing a policy are more tactical actions and do not describe the end results. In other words, what positive results happened because of your actions? Tell us your career accomplishments and you will have told us who you are and what you are about. When talking about accomplishments, make sure they are your own….we are all creators. Tell the hiring manager what you have created and what difference you have made on the business, the world and/or others. That is definitely more interesting and speaks to who you are as a complete person.
Start a Blog. Blogging about your technical, business acumen, professional career and content will set you apart from the competition. A blog will demonstrate your ability to write and tell a compelling story. These are qualities of a good leader, a good negotiator and a good communicator. A few free sites for creating a blog are WordPress.com and Blogger to name a few.
Provide Original Works. I would recommend providing examples of your work that are original even if it means you have to create new work such as financial models, technical tools, process documentation, websites, etc. Folks will understand that your work is proprietary to your employers so you are creating new work to emulate what you have done for your previous assignments. Think of your work as a display similar to what artists provide when they are selling their paintings. To get your work commissioned, you have to display your ability and your personality. To be a hit, include on your blog site your original work. This will make your site unique and a testament to who you are as a whole person.
Create a 30 second Video. Tell the hiring manager who you are and why they should hire you in 30 seconds. Advertising agencies have 15 to 30 second spots on TV or Radio to sell their products. You will have the same opportunity in your 30-second video. If the hiring manager takes the time to go to your site, they are going to be pleasantly surprised and eager to see your 30-second "wow" pitch. This saves the hiring manager time and energy and it will definitely impress them.
Join LinkedIn. If you are not on LinkedIn, I would recommend you join this 100M+ person community. A recent presentation of their demographics shows only 42M US citizens are part of LinkedIn, with ~40% being female and with only 21% under 25 years old. This community is the largest professional social network site in the world and it is used for those offering and seeking jobs, connecting with professionals and sharing ideas, and keeping your portfolio of professional contacts. If your demographic is not well represented, then join the community. You will stand out from the crowd.
Join Twitter and Get Followers. Along with your Blog and LinkedIn account, I would recommend including a Twitter account that is used for professional purposes only. Twitter is helpful for promoting your ideas, your work and for routing folks to visit your website. Have a unique point of view, write about it, live it and share it with others. Having a unique voice and viewpoint will make you very attractive to others and you will be surprised by the following. I just started my own Twitter account in May 2011 and I have a little over 170 followers so far. You have to write good content and you have to be consistent to get a good following. I am still working on the two approaches. It is definitely a learning process and it takes time.
As we discussed recently in the posts: Be a Connector and The Day You Get Promoted by Election, relationships are so critical and now with Twitter followers and LinkedIn connections, we now have a means to measure the breadth of the connections. Before too long, your portfolio of connections and relationships will be a determining factor in your selection for a position. One early pioneer in this area is Best Buy. I recently read a 2009 article describing how Best Buy had a pre-requisite for its Senior Manager – Emerging Media Marketing to have 250 Twitter followers. Needless to say it got a lot of noise. Today, future non-profit leaders and company advocates are screened to determine their circle of influence. How many people do they influence? How influential are the candidate's connections? Twitter and LinkedIn are not the sole answers to these questions, but these sites definitely help you to start thinking in these terms.
If you have a professional Twitter and a LinkedIn account, be sure to reference them on your website and resume.
Sounds like a lot of work to get a job. Yes, it is a lot of work but it is not for a job, it is for you and your brand. You are the CEO of You. To say yes to you means you have to be willing to put in the time and effort to define yourself in ways that are meaningful and impactful. You are taking this herculean effort not for the position you are vying for, but for yourself and your identity in this newly connected world.
As the CEO of You, you are on a sales tour to promote, tell your story and sell why you should be part of the team. So, for any position you apply for, think of it as a campaign.
Do Your Research; Determine Your Audience. Who will be reading your resume? Investigate the position and the leader. You want to make sure it is a fit for you too, so if their values and leadership style don't match up, know that is ok for you to be selective as well. Recently, I was interviewing candidates for a position we posted internally. I was fascinated by how many folks researched us on our internal social media site before coming into the interview. As a candidate researching the hiring manager, look to see if they have a LinkedIn account; look them up and see what they have written about themselves. And of course search them on the Internet and see what that yields you. You could find some good information for your cover letter to personalize it when addressing the hiring manager.
Do More Research. Research the company's website if you are external and the department's portal/site if you are internal to the organization. I recently interviewed someone who researched our internal site, took one of our system courses and read through one of our corporate policies. She was able to quote from it, speak in the language we use and ask more relevant questions on our subject because she did her homework on the department. If you want to leave an impression, do your homework before submitting in your resume.
Enlist your Circle of Influentials. If you know of folks that are influential, well respected and revered, ask them to put in a good word for you via a phone call. I did that four years ago when I got the internal position I am in today. The hiring manager said she wanted to at least meet me since she had received three separate calls from key leaders on my behalf. Obviously you can only ask for this type of support when it really matters. Asking a vice president of a company to support you with five to ten calls is a stretch. Use your connections wisely. If you are new to the job market and have some good connections, through your volunteer efforts, ask for their assistance and support as you secure a new position. References do not have to be from "paid only" positions. Leadership in a volunteer role is just as telling of who you are and what you stand for.
Provide a 360-Degree Reference List. Make sure to include a 360-degree reference list of folks for the hiring manager to call when asked. Have it ready now for when you get the request. You want the hiring manager to make those calls quickly and close the loop with you. The hiring manager will call the references to see how you interact with people above you, at your level and below you. Do you treat people differently depending on the status? Have your list and be ready.
Write a Compelling and Personalized Cover Letter. And finally after completing the above, write a compelling cover letter addressed specifically to the hiring manager. I typically read cover letters since many folks no longer provide them. I feel if someone took the extra time to create a cover letter it is worth my time to read what he or she had to say. Writing a truly personalized cover letter that is addressed to the person reading it and mentions that you researched them, who they are, what is important to them, will turn your letter from a vanilla cover letter to a personalized note. Also, include in your note why you are interested in the position and why you believe you are the best fit. Talk about your resume cloud, website, circle of connections and followers. Let them know that you would like to complete a 100-day plan if you are one of the finalists for the position and you recognize ramping up is one of the hardest parts of transitioning. By preparing and implementing a 100-day plan, it not only helps you but the hiring manager as well. This can certainly be a game changer when coming onboard.
Create a 100-Day plan. It is the kicker, the one that will set you miles apart from everyone else. I recently started requiring this for all our final candidates in managerial and supervisory positions. Some folks drop out, maybe because they thought it was too much work. Frankly, I think it is a great tool for candidates and it is a good proxy for the caliber of team members the hiring managers are looking for. If folks see this as a great tool that will help them and are not bothered by the request, they are one step closer to finding the right team. A 100-day plan will help you understand the position, what opportunities exist for improvements and you will hit the ground running on day one.
For leaders of organizations transitioning into a new role, this is especially important as the goals, expectations and risks are greater. Here is an excerpt I recently read from The New Leader's 100 Day Action Plan. George Bradt's website also has a great leadership journal he just started on a new leader transitioning the first 100 days.
For those new to the job market fresh out of college, a 100-Day Plan is a great tool to help demonstrate your commitment to learning the culture, the department, the business, your role, your team and what improvements can be made to the position.
The Interview…Hope for Multiples. Once you are in for an interview, you will need to knock it out of the park with your interview. Make it personal, answer the questions, expect behavioral questions where they are asking for real examples from your life. Make sure to give real examples and not theories of what you would do. If all goes well, expect peer interviews, interviews with the prospective clients, leaders above the hiring manager and possibly entry-level folks to ensure you are a good fit. I ask my team to do this so that when we make a selection based on the multitude of data points, we feel we are making the best decision for the team. Keep in mind when you are talking to the peers, the clients and even the hiring manager, be yourself and bring your best to the conversations.
So, it is a lot. I hear you and it is for the hiring manager as well. But with a ~10% reported unemployment rate and the common knowledge of a higher rate, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. As a hiring manager having to make the tough choices, with many good candidates to choose from, I will say that those that deploy a portfolio of options from their war chest will give themselves an advantage. This will prove why it is good to be the CEO of You and why others should want to snag you first and fast.
Can you see a time when these tools will be common place? I would love to hear your thoughts, stories of interviews, selection, tips and traps to avoid.

Kesha Says Her New Album is 'Different' and 'Trippy'
JUST ADDED: 5 Seconds of Summer will be rocking the stage at this year's iHeartRadio Music Festival Village in Las Vegas! The band sat down with Ryan Seacrest to break the news.�Click here to buy your tickets now, before they sell out!
Check out the full lineup for this year's iHeartRadio Music Festival
Listen to Kesha on iHeartRadio
Kesha, sans dollar sign (she dropped it, remember?), is hard at work on a follow up to 2012′s Warrior. There hasn't been much info on the album just yet (aside from a rumored Zedd collaboration), but Kesha finally dished some dirt on the disc this week during a promo stop for her new show, ABC's reality TV singing competition "Rising Star."
"I've been working on some new music and it's really fun and really different," she told MTV News. "It can borderline on trippy, a little different, I think people are going to trip out."
"[It's] definitely not toned down," she said, before adding, "One song is about being madly in love, and just so sweet, and then telling the guy that, 'If you cheat on me I'll shoot you'."
It's nice to see that even through all the trippiness, Kesha's still doing Kesha.

"This is allegedly Australia's Best Cafe (Australian Small Business Champion Winner 2013). And while I wonder what the criteria is for this award, I must say that I have always received good and friendly service from this cafe.
Another example of Adelaide's "Order and Pay at the Counter" cafes, it does allow you to make up your mind and order in your own time.
I had a group breakfast here and it was well managed. Everyone's food came out around the same time even though ordering was staggered.
The food was tasty, plentiful and hot and the coffee good too. It is a large venue which is great for meeting groups of friends with plenty of indoor and outdoor dining.
It's kiddie friendly too with high chairs and change tables in the female bathrooms (not sure of the mens as I didnt go in there!)
It's located in the Tea Tree Plus part of the Westfield Shopping Centre."

The cafe is usually busy but most of the time the staff keep up with it :-) I have found on several occasions that the online booking system doesn't translate to an actual booking so don't rely on it - always ring and confirm!"

"I had dinner at Cafe Buongiorno with family for my niece's birthday. The service was average, they were not very busy and they were rather slow bringing out our meals. They had a nice menu but we thought the prices were a little steep. One meal, the veal, was sent back to the kitchen and a full refund was given as the meal veal was extremely tough and pretty much inedible. It was also not very appetising. The chicken schnitzel was very small and outrageously priced at $20 which is expensive for a schnitzel, especially considering the size. They also charge $10 for 'cakeage', and considering they didnt even cut up the cake or box it up afterwards or anything, I thought that was poor. Our overall experience was not great and would seriously have to consider going back."

"Had lunch with friends here during the week. Service was great and we had no problems with any of the staff. Disappointed with the food that was served though. One of the girls had undercooked salmon and another had chicken schnitzel which was burnt. Another pasta dish was served cold. We sent these three dishes back and the staff were pretty good about it. Had to wait another 10 minutes or so before food was brought back. Just a bit annoying to have this happen to three meals when you only have 1 and half hours to spare."

The Ham test is a blood test done to diagnose paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). The test checks whether red blood cells become more fragile when they are placed in mild acid.
Acid hemolysin test
A blood sample is needed.
There is no special preparation needed for this test.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away.
A positive test can confirm the diagnosis of PNH.
The Ham test can also be used to diagnose another rare disorder called congenital dyserythropoietic anemia.
The Ham test is increasingly being replaced by a test called flow cytometry.
A negative test is normal.
Abnormal results may be due to:
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight, but may include:

It costs a lot of money to keep the world safe from Courtney Love -- her former bodyguards say she stiffed them out of $60,000 this year.
Screen International Security Services filed a lawsuit today in L.A. County Superior Court, claiming they provided "security services, in connection with the protection of Love, her family members, and her property" between April and August of this year.
SISS says Love never paid a penny for services rendered -- totaling $58,222.50 -- and are suing for the full amount plus interest.
Love's attorney just sent us the following statement:
"This lawsuit should be placed in the Wikipedia page next to chutzpah. It has no merit and is based on a private security company's attempt to fleece a celebrity.
SISS was paid a substantial sum for the "service" it provided while they were living at that home. Despite knowing that Ms. Cobain and her daughter had moved out of the home they continued to provide security to an empty home by having someone sit in a car all day eating a ham sandwich while the Cobains were residing miles away!!!"

New AVG AntiVirus For Mac Offers Triple Protection For OS X
AMSTERDAM and SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- AVG Technologies N.V. (NYSE: AVG), the provider of Internet and mobile security, privacy and optimization to 172 million active users, today announces the availability of AVG AntiVirus for Mac® to help protect MacBook®, iMac® and Mac Pro® users running OS X Mavericks (10.9) and Mountain Lion (10.8) from malware.
AVG AntiVirus for Mac is built on a powerful security engine that works in real time to detect and remove viruses and spyware that could infect your Mac or be passed on to your PC or mobile devices. This is the latest product in AVG's comprehensive range of free online security products for devices running on today's most popular platforms. The latest Mac product from AVG, AVG Cleaner™ for Mac, was released in November and currently holds the high average user rating of 4 stars on the Apple Store.
"It's a popular belief that Mac computers are invincible," said David Ferguson, General Manager, Consumer & Mobile, AVG Technologies, "But they never were – it's just been a matter of OS X not reaching the popularity that Windows® historically had. Thanks to the advent of iPhones® and the iPad®, the Mac platform has scaled exponentially, and that fact alone makes it a viable target for attackers. We've extended our award-winning AntiVirus product range to cover OS X and Mountain Lion because our customers are our priority and we aim to protect them, whatever device or system they choose to use."
Free AVG AntiVirus for Mac protects OS X Mavericks and Mountain Lion from viruses and spyware and delivers:
- Resident Shield: AVG's Resident Shield technology runs quietly in the background and scans every file users open, copy and save automatically quickly without draining resources, so the user won't even notice that we're there.
- Triple protection: AVG's award winning detection technology scans for Mac, Windows®, and Android®-based malware. Users can feel safer knowing that their Mac is protected and that they don't transfer malware to their other devices or share them with friends or co-workers.
- Drag & drop functionality: Users can run a thorough scan of their entire Mac or drag and drop files or folders and scan them individually.
- Automatic Updates: To stay ahead of the growing number of Mac threats, AVG is constantly innovating and evolving the detection methods. Updates to AVG's virus database get pushed to users automatically, so their Mac protection is always up-to-date.

The staff is extremely helpful. And they upgraded my room to a suite. Clean room. Good location. I enjoyed the stay so much. Everything is just perfect.
Perfect breakfast, nice swimming pool, comfortable room.
So many things
Quiet, comfort, great breakfast, location
the hotel's employee who is responsible of the swimming pool came to me before starting swimming and requested from me to swim slowly due to there were people around the swimming pool having tea and coffe and do not want me to wet them
Staff non-English speaking
1- A perfect breakfast 2- The best situation
1- business office with its just 1 laptop which was full of virus & its small office which was like a cage . 2- I think a 5 star hotel should have at least maps of its own country .
Nice breakfast, great pool area, and kind staff.
Beside a busy roundabout and in a grubby part of town. Gym was a nice touch, but pretty run down. Staff don't really speak English, but try hard to.
turkish bath.breakfast buffet.Location very close to historical places
i had privacy sign and not honored and left fruit amenities.
small bath room small room
Friendly helpful staff, good facilities.
The decoration of the room was scruffy and not very clean. The hall way was packed up with mattresses and furniture. It didn't seem it was more like a backpackers hostel than a five star hotel.
at breakfast, I missed the sweet cake.
clean room staff at reception helpful
at the breakfirst buffet there is only one waiter and he is not much bothered. the hotel is located in the busy town center,lots of traffic in front of the hotel and there is no hotel garden or park nearby expensive minibar
Staff were very pleasant and helpful.
The hotel is far from 5 star standards. It does not in my opinion meet a 3star as there are no tea/coffee facilities in the rooms and this is standard for a 3 star..the rooms are extremely basic and the bath leaves alot to be desired. Very very basic accomodation.
city center location and near to airport as well. Staff are very professional with warm welcome. Excellent breakfast.

Now, where did you put that duct tape?
You're a handyman. Yeah, you can pretty much take care of anything, like the time you replaced your broken gear shifter with an empty vodka bottle. You also built yourself a 'house boat' by dragging your grandpa's old camper onto a dock and then 'cuttin' her loose.' Search and rescue had to be called, but you counted it as an engineering success. The Matix Builders Pullover Hooded Sweatshirt is your construction-savvy uniform. Throw it on, grab a blow torch, and see what happens.

Hi, I'm wondering how long the Large is...
Hi, I'm wondering how long the Large is for this hoodie. I like my stuff to go down to about the middle between my waist and my knees, so pretty big. I'm around 5'6. How long is this in inches or whatever in Large?
I don't have the hoodie in front of me so I'm not certain of the exact length, but I do know that these hoodies are relaxed fit and longer. I would say a medium would come to your mid thigh.

A while back I found a weaving loom at the thrift store. I didn't buy it, but I know it's still there. Today I stumbled upon these amazing woven wall hangings from Jujujust on Etsy, and now I'm wondering if I should go back to buy that weaving loom. I love how amazing and colorful these wall hangings are. They aren't cheap, but they are absolutely stunning. I would love to have one of these in my home! I know I could make one myself if I just had a weaving loom…
Hmm… I think I will go back today for that weaving loom. What do you think? XO Wilma
Sometimes it's so hard to think of a good gift for someone you love. You want to give them something they will use and remember but they already have so much stuff. And to make it even worse: there is close to nothing on their wishlist. So what to do? Well, pick something they love to do and create something that helps them with it! This garden markers are a great example of just that. My dad loves his vegetable garden (I promise I will make pictures this summer, it's really pretty) but I noticed he didn't had any garden markers. So I decided to make him some for his birthday. I called my mom for a list of all the vegetables and bought a lot of paint stirrers. I love the end result and so did my dad. I think they will look great in his garden!
What you need for these paint stirrer garden markers
– wooden paint stirrers
- spray paint primer
– white spray paint
- black paint (for outside)
- small tip paintbrush
– printer
– pencil
– printer paper
– cardboard
– scissors
– fret saw
How to make garden markers form paint stirrers
1. Step one is optional but it makes your garden markers less 'paint stirrer' and more 'garden marker' looking. Cut out a piece of cardboard with the same width as your paint stirrers. Cut a triangle shape out at the bottom. This piece of cardboard is now perfect to use as a guide to draw a triangle shape on the bottom of all your paint stirrers. You can now use your fret saw to saw the triangle. You now have a nice 'arrow' shaped garden marker instead of a paint stirrer.
2. Paint your garden markers. First you need to spray paint them with your primer and after that one or more layers of white spray paint.
3. Choose a font on your computer. A really good source for fonts Fontsquirel. Choose a good size for your garden markers and print out.
4. Use a pencil to color the back of your printer paper. Cut out the words.
5. Lay down the words on your garden markers and trace with a pencil. The pencil on the other side of the paper will transfer to your garden markers.
6. Paint over the transferred words with black paint. Let dry.
That's it! How cute will these look in your garden? XO Wilma
Etsy has so many great things to offer. With 'Etsy shop love' I want to show you some of my favorite Etsy shops. Every Saturday you will find a new shop that's getting featured. Today it's 'Valek Rolling Pins'.
I love to bake cakes, bread, cupcakes and of course cookies. So when I saw these amazing patterned rolling pins from Valek Rolling Pins I thought they were absolutely amazing! How cool is it to bake cookies with a nice pattern or even with your name on it? I would absolutely love 'Made By Wilma' cookies. It makes it extra special to give them away as a gift. Nobody will argue that they are really made by you! Amazing!
What would you want on your cookies? XO Wilma
It's no secret that I absolutely love gold leaf. It's pretty and makes everything look better! That's why I had to try some gold leaf on my Easter eggs. I made a simple design on white eggs to really make the gold leaf pop. I love how they turned out! Simple and sophisticated.
What you need for DIY gold leaf Easter eggs
– gold leaf*
– gold leaf adhesive*
– brush for the adhesive
– big brush (like a powder brush) to brush off the excess gold leaf
– white eggs
* You could also buy a gold leaf kit, like this one.
How to make DIY gold leaf Easter eggs
1. Make sure your eggs and your work surface are clean. You don't want anything else than gold leaf sticking to your Easter eggs!
2. Put the glue on your eggs where you want the gold leaf to go. You can make any pattern you like. Like dots, stripes or maybe even chevron. The glue has to dry for a while. For how long depends on your glue, so make sure you read the instructions!
3. It's time to apply the gold leaf. I found it was the easiest to apply the gold leaf directly from the paper. It's very delicate and will break as soon as you touch it. So open you booklet or paper and put the gold leaf on your egg. Remove the paper and the gold leaf will be stuck on your egg. You can use a brush and your fingers to create a smooth surface. It doesn't have to completely perfect! I think that's the charm of gold leaf!
4. Brush away all the excess gold leaf and leave it to dry.
Your DIY gold leaf Easter eggs are ready for Easter! XO Wilma

It was fun show. Well, everyone knows Cats. Cast sang beautifully, dance was fun to watch. We sat balcony area where we could watch far back of the stage. Have to say CMTSJ's main stage show is perfect show for family with children.

Only disappointment was "getting the words" to some of the songs. Voices not strong enough or mikes not positioned correctly. Otherwise I thought the acting was terrific!
