|I have the option of working 4 9.5 hr days vs the normal 5 7.5 hour days and I don't know what to do. I live within 5 minutes to work so there is no communte as it is. Right now I get in really early - around 7:30 or so (it's flexible) and leave around 3 or 3:30 every day. If I changed my schedule I'd get in around 7 and leave around 5 M-H and have Fridays off. (Lunch break included) T/H DD goes to daycare and they open from 7-5:30 which is a ways out of the way (if I leave at 7 to take her to daycare I don't get to work until 8 or so) but it's the best daycare around and I don't want to switch. (Plus, everywhere else has waiting lists 5 miles long!) I guess DH could take her to daycare in the morning and I could pick her up after work. He's home with her M/W/F now as it is. If I'm home Friday it would give me a day with her and him a break to get other stuff done. (He's a student.)
What shift would you rather work? I asked my boss about changing shifts and I really didn't expect him to say "yes." Since he did I'm trying to decide if this is really what I want. (I know fickle, fickle, fickle!) 9.5 hrs makes for an incredibly long day. What do you think???
Oh, and by the way - DD is still not sleeping through the night yet so we're both pretty exhausted. Would it thus be easier to have a day off or to work shorter shifts? That's another concern of mine. DH is all for the 4 9.5 hour days.
Follow-Up Postings:

|If it were my choice, I would probably keep the 5 day schedule. That extra 2 hours a day for a 9.5 hour shift do make a difference. You'll be more tired and may feel like you're not really seeing your dd during those days. You'll get home and if you're like some parents, give dd a bath, feed her, and send her off to bed by 7:30 pm. (I'm making assumptions, I don't know your schedule.) Mornings can be a rush a lot of time too and you won't be seeing your dd as much then either. I think the potential is there for you to get worn down and be more tired. Overall,you'll end up seeing your child a lot less during the week and will end up placing a lot of expectations on that day off.
|I wish I could do the four days but this job does not offer it. I use to do (4) 10 hr days at another job and loved it. My problem is going to work. Once I was there, the extra 2 hrs just blended in. I would love to have a day that I could just spend at my son's school or taking care of home matters. I think I would take Wednesdays though because doctors, beauticians and other offices usually have more appts available those days. LOL
|5 days keeps everyone's schedules more dependable and won't require changing existing patterns and habits? That's good for the very young, to be able to have and experience organization and dependable schedules. It's also usually less stressful on parents to not have to shuffle and re-settle into new patterns.
4 days of longer hours will require some shuffling before it gets to feel 'normal' and before it then becomes the new dependable pattern. It will require new duties from your partner in terms of taking the baby to daycare. Is he aware and able to do that? Do you have a choice about Mondays or Fridays to take off, or other days if taking a 4-day work week? You might be able to negotiate a 'trial' of a week or so with your employer so you can get an idea of the physical requirements and whether this kind of schedule is do-able for you (you need your health and sanity as intact as possible).
Other issues can be complicated. Do you get a 'free' day to do the things you need to do (the thing to consider is whether, at stressful times, this change would feel like something that is resented). When the adults involved are both sleep-deprived their judgement can be impaired, or their thinking processes relatively slowed or otherwise affected by that lack of sleep. It can seem like, when offered what is felt to be needed (a free day) then of course it would be a good idea. It's harder to predict how one's life would change as a result. (If you end up feeling so overworked those 4 days that you really can't consider that 'free' day as 'free'; then you might a lot more support from your partner. He may not appreciate that, or be naturally adept and providing that as needed. No one benefits much at all if this change causes you to exceed your body's limits in terms of exhaustion and sleep.) deprivation.
Basically, spend some time thinking about your own body's patterns. Which kind of work schedule would agree more with your own natural patterns (and why). What considerations are 'pro' and which are 'con' for the change. How sleep-deprived are you both, and how sleep-deprived are you both feeling (that is important because 2 people can have similar degrees of deprivation but one person's functioning might be more impaired by that)? Who will have to do what with the baby's schedule either way (note required changes)? Go through all these kinds of questions for yourself and with reference to your partner and baby. You'll be able to come up with a good idea about whether this change might be worth attempting.
you can ask your employer for a trial of this change if you'd like to explore how you might be affected (positively or negatively, or not at all)
|I'd go for the 4 day schedule to have some more time at home. I graduated nsg school 6 days before having my baby 7-1/2 mos ago. Although I haven't gone to work yet I have all intentions of working 3 12hr shifts instead of the traditional 5 days per week. I purposely changed careers to plan for extra time with my baby & to work closer to home rather than making a long commute.
Good luck!

Solid, does what it says. Excellent build quality (one of the best I have found on DX so far). Another positive point is that the iPhone will also fit although it is carrying a protective case.Cons:
The only con I can think of for now would be the fact that the pictures show it has 2 connectors (one 30-pin + one 8-pin), this is not the case. It can only be used for iPhone 5, iPod Touch 5 or any other device that fits an 8-pin connector.OtherThoughts:
Just a decent, well-designed dock. I do not expect it to break any time soon.Bottomline:

Vonage Holdings' CEO Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
More information about those risks and uncertainties is highlighted on the second page of the slides and contained in our SEC filings. We caution listeners not to rely unduly on forward-looking statements and disclaim any intent or obligation to update them.
During this call, we will be referring to non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation to GAAP measures is available on the IR website.
And now, I will turn the call over to Marc.
Marc LefarThank you, Leslie, and good morning, everyone. The second quarter was marked by a number of key accomplishments. We reduced churn to 2.5%, a 30 basis points improvement from the first quarter and returned to some of our best quarterly levels in the past four years. Our balance sheet is stronger than it's ever been. We now have essentially no net debt for the first time since 2007. We grew EBITDA by $3 million sequentially to $35 million after investing $4 million in growth initiatives, and although we were disappointed that circumstances led to the cancellation of the Amdocs ordering and billing project. Our decision was made possible by the improvements in the stability and flexibility of our existing IT infrastructure over the past three years. As a result, we are also lowering our CapEx guidance for 2012 by at least $5 million to $10 million. Across our growth initiatives, we continue to make progress. In international long distance, we continue to reinforce the compelling value proposition of our flagship Vonage World plan to large growth segments such as Pakistan and Mexico with highly targeted sales and marketing campaigns. And just this week, we launched a new calling plan in the Philippines with our partner Globe Telecom, delivering unprecedented value to the more than 3 million Filipinos living in the U.S. We expect to announce at least one more partnership in the second half of the year.

Immigration Lawyer Philip Eichorn
I believe deeply in the promise of America as a nation of immigrants. Throughout our history, immigrants and refugees from all corners of the world have come to the United States, determined to improve their lives through hard work. In the process, they have made this country a strong and great nation. We must continue to attract the best and brightest from across the globe for our nation to flourish. My firm is dedicated to continuing that dream by diligently representing immigrants from across the globe.
In addition to running my firm, I am the Chairperson of the Ohio Chapter of American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA). I serve on the national organization's Board of Governors as a chapter chairperson. Locally, we work with USCIS, ICE, Border Patrol and other agencies to refine policies that are not slanted in the govenrment's favor. We host pro bono events to give those without the financial means the opportunity to apply for immigration benefits and have access to counsel.
In addition to the work with AILA, I teach immigration law at Cleveland State Cleveland Marshall School of Law. Regularly I speak about a variety of immigration related topics to local bar associations. Most recently, my talks on Crimmigration and Immigration Detainers were heard by the Toledo Bar Association, the Ohio State Bar Association, the Lorain County Bar Association and the West Shore Bar Association.
When you make a decision about a lawyer, you want someone who will communicate with you, explain to you the issues, provide you with well-grounded advice and fight hard to win your case. We have those qualities and a decade of experience on our side.
If you have an immigration law or criminal-immigration issue, please e-mail or call my law practice at 866-448-2994, Philip Eichorn Co., LPA, today for a case assessment.

Hard-to-cure TB poses new global health threat
BEIJING The Beijing Chest Hospital was packed with people on a recent weekday morning. In the waiting area, Wang Chong, a migrant worker who has been fighting tuberculosis for several months, was facing a dilemma: Does he continue treatment that has already cost him more than $5,000 or stop before his savings are wiped out?
It's not only his health at stake. If Wang stops treatment prematurely, his tuberculosis is likely to morph into one of the new, hardier strains that resist the drugs he has been using and that pose a growing threat to global public health. Countries as diverse as China, Russia and South Africa are vulnerable, and the new strains have also appeared in the United States.
"TB is now taking on a deadly new form – one that will spread further," said Cornelia Hennig, the World Health Organization's TB program coordinator for China. "We can choose: Either we act now with rational and proven approaches, or we pay later with a worsening epidemic."
The WHO is trying to bring renewed vigor to the fight with a three-day meeting of health ministers from the worst-affected countries in Beijing starting April 1. Also attending are WHO Director-General Margaret Chan and Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, a major contributor to research on global health problems. Countries are expected to draw up five-year plans to prevent and control the spread of drug-resistant TB.
TB is caused by germs that spread when a person with active TB coughs, sneezes or speaks. It's ancient and treatable but now has evolved into stronger forms: multidrug-resistant TB, which does not respond to two top drugs, and extensively drug-resistant TB, which is virtually untreatable. TB is usually treated in six months with a $20 cocktail of four antibiotics, but its drug-resistant form takes up to two years to fight.
One of the culprits: health care systems that lose track of patients who do not complete their courses of treatment, allowing the TB bacteria to develop resistance to normally potent medicines.
This is also a problem in India, where rural health care is often poor and there is little control over the sale of anti-TB drugs; Russia, which faces a shortage of qualified medical staff and drugs; and South Africa, where the disease thrives amid an AIDS epidemic that has weakened the immune systems of people with HIV.
An estimated half a million people in the world are already infected with drug-resistant TB, nearly a quarter of them in China. Most are still waiting for help, which only increases the risk.
Less than 5 percent of people suffering from drug-resistant TB worldwide are properly treated, said Mark Harrington, executive director of Treatment Action Group, a U.S.-based health advocacy group.
"So most of the people are going around coughing and spreading multidrug-resistant TB," he said. "But most countries have not yet started to take it seriously."
Though the problem is mainly confined to developing countries, health experts warn the risk is widespread as people and their diseases cross the globe. An intercontinental scare was set off two years ago when an American lawyer with drug-resistant TB flew to several countries and back to attend a wedding.

By David O. Heishman –
Every weekday evening, after financial markets have closed, I sit down at my computer and collect daily trading data on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). I gather the Dow final average, volume of shares traded, composite volume of the New York Stock Exchange, and other numbers I deem important to my research. With numbers all packed into computer spreadsheets, I turn to financial news of the day.
Normally, first thought that crosses my mind as I begin reading is of Bill Tom Slonaker. Bill Tom was a Wardensville "character" of days gone by. A deaf shoe repairman, he had his shop in an old building, which stood just North of St. Peter's Lutheran church. I remember being inside his shop a time or two and in good weather he often sat outside enjoying the sun.
Pap liked Bill Tom. They talked a bit whenever they met. Pap had learned some sign language from both his sisters, Esther and Hilda Frye, who as young ladies had taught at Romney School for the Deaf and Blind. Bill Tom always had a grin for Pap.
Between financial market's evening close and next morning's opening, analysts run rampant. Their frantic searches for reasons why DJIA rose or fell remind me of Bill Tom and a story Pap often told about him.
Bill Tom loved to ice skate. He was truly an accomplished skater. Better than anybody else around Wardensville, Pap said he would have compared very well with some of the best skaters he'd seen in Canada while attending veterinary medical school there.

Baha MalikPancreatic Cancer
In 2007 when Baha Malik started experiencing back pain, he ignored it. "You know – that macho thing we do," said the retired data specialist, who turned 75 in 2013. "Finally it got so excruciating that my wife demanded I go to a hospital. When I did that, a biopsy revealed that I had cancer of the pancreas. That's when my primary physician made arrangements for me to go to Fox Chase Cancer Center – which was a real blessing."Read more »
Stephen McNamara
Raised with 12 siblings in Ireland, Stephen McNamara enjoyed his childhood and his country. However, in 1949, when the opportunity presented itself to come to America, he acted on it. Mary, a nursing student whom he met in England, followed her heart and came to America to marry Stephen. They settled in the Philadelphia area and raised their own family with 5 children. During this time, Stephen was drafted and served stateside during the Korean War. Not long after, he became a citizen of the United States. "I just fell in love with America," shared Stephen. "I had a great job at General Motors and a wonderful family."Read more »
Anthony P. ReresNeuroendocrine Tumor of the Pancreas

Torii Hunter might be the best guy I've ever covered, but he did the Twins a big favor, trying to steal with two out in the eighth and Kendry Morales at the plate in a 4-1 game.
When Joe Mauer threw him out, that got Matt Guerrier out of the eighth, and gave Jon Rauch a three-run lead to work with in the ninth.
The good thing about Rauch is, he's throwing strikes. The bad thing is, a couple of them were very hittable strikes on Wednesday night. Rauch gave up a double and an RBI single before finishing the save, so he's 2-for-2.
-J.J. Hardy has hit two homers, but I'm more impressed with his range at shortstop. He's made two outstanding plays in the hole the last two nights, making both look easier than they really were. He seems relaxed and comfortable, and if he plays anything like this the rest of the season, the Twins will have stolen him from the Brewers for Carlos Gomez. And that's coming from someone who likes Gomez.
-Wrote about Brian Duensing being a key for this team moving forward for the Thursday paper. I also had a great talk with Torii before the game and will be writing about him at some point.
Torii asked me how La Velle Neal was doing, then asked if his nickname is still ``Sore Feet.'' So I did my La Velle-walking-on-hot-coals impersonation in the Angels clubhouse.
Former Twin Matt Lawton gave Neal the nickname ``Sore Feet,'' because La Velle walks like the world is on fire.
-So the Timberwolves lose to a beat-up Golden State team tonight, and Steph Curry torches them.
I think they will regret passing on Curry in the draft for years, because he could have been their point guard or shooting guard, and they're still looking for both.
-Jim Thome's bat looks slow to me. Three strikeouts tonight, and he lofted a 93-mph fastball to leftfield the only time he made contact. I would have rather seen Jason Kubel in the DH slot. I wouldn't sit Kubel unless the Twins face a lefty who has a big advantage over him.
-Carl Pavano knows how to pitch. He's really a prototypical Twins pitcher, for better or worse - he throws lots of strikes, challenges hitters, avoids walks, so he gives up a lot of hits, but when he's on, he avoids big innings. ``It just seems like walks always score, and singles don't,'' he said late Wednesday night. ``I don't know why that is, but it seems to be true.''
Pavano was impressive escaping jams. He has great savvy, and the Twins did well to get him on a one-year deal, so he's pitching for his future.
-Brandon Wood, the Angels' eternal prospect, looks nervous to me. He isn't swinging with authority, which is strange for a guy who was a good power hitter his entire minor-league career.
-You can follow me on Twitter at Souhanstrib. JoeC and I will shoot another video later tonight. I'm on WJON in St. Cloud at 7:15 am and am-1500 at 7:45 a.m.

Not bad. But 100 miles apart? Only Kizaru could cover that in a timely fashion, yet it would be suicide for him to go at it alone so that likely wouldn't happen. Anyway, I'd give the slight edge to team 2. Madara is the sole current character from Naruto that I feel is above most OP top tiers. Whitebeard could take out any admiral 1 on 1. I don't know how easily Madara could do so but his abilities can easily hold them at bay, buying time for Whitebeard to defeat a single admiral, then the duo proceeds to overpower the remaining two Admirals as a team.
this pretty much sums up the fight
Tell me again how madara can avoid being frozen,melted and rocked by light? If you remember correctly all 3 admirals are intangible and the only person with the ability to hit them is whitebeard. Madara dies by overestimating himself. Aokiji is pretty safe considering even if he island busts aokiji can just freeze the water and become part of it. He would move in and freeze madara then he would proceed to die by whitebeards haki super hands.
the admirals win. i saw all 3 admirals holding well their ground against whitebeard, i dont think whitebeard can take both akainu and kizaru while ao kiji fights madara well on par. the admirals win because they are 3 vs 2 and they would overpower whitebeard and then finish off madara.

@TheNeutralOne: Intangibility is a non factor here.
I swear to God, people who keep giving that tired excuse of "dur hur but they can't hurt them" for Onepiece and Bleach need a slap.
I know what you mean bro. What happened to this site? I am glad some are still here with sense.
There is nothing the admirals can do here; unless this is the blind, human, and beat up version of Madara he wont lose, forget that Whitebeard already took on all three and nearly killed one while being on his deathbed, with 100 meters to cover Madara summons a ginat meteor as Whitebeard charges and quakes what is leftover. I hope the current admirals have some good feats later on but they arent taking on Madara, let alone with that distance and with Whitebeard on there side. Only way admirals have a shot is if the duo is in their weakest form.
I see Madara and White beard winning this, Madara still has perfect Susanoo, those fucking Meteors, Tsukiyomi, Amaterasu, Shinra Tensei, Rinbo: Hengoku and now all of the tailed beasts and we know he can control them as he did during his battle against Hashirama.
Throw Whitebeard in and it's a guarantee that the will win.

Coalition costingsPUBLISHED: 20 Feb 2012 00:05:47 | UPDATED: 20 Feb 2012 00:32:20PUBLISHED: 20 Feb 2012 PRINT EDITION: 20 Feb 2012
Geoff Taylor
I am still curious about the Liberal Party's Brian Loughnane and Brad Henderson opting to steer away from the Treasury when costing Liberal Party proposals for the 2010 federal election ("Surplus squabble erupts" and "Coalition's disappearing trick", February 9).
Instead they signed a deal with the Horwath accountancy in Perth to run over the numbers. The upshot of this was that the electorate were given figures which were reportedly $10 billion short of the true mark.
Subsequently, two Horwath accountants were reprimanded and each fined $5000 by their professional body.
Tony Abbott, Andrew Robb, Joe Hockey and Christopher Pyne have so far all failed to cast any further light on what went on. Given attacks on the government's economic management, I think the opposition needs to tell us more about why and how it came to pass that the electorate was fed dodgy economic data in 2010 in an attempt to win government.
After all, the Charter of Budget Honesty process was set up to ensure the electorate could make decisions based on accurate financial information.

We are an active retired couple from Australia. Alf was a gardens and grounds manager and I was an accountant who now does the occasional b&b /cottage cleaning. We are fit - play bowls, tennis and golf. Experienced with pool maintenance and love animals especially dogs.
We have excellent references and are available from October 2014 to june 2015
Interested in house sitting anywhere in Australia,New Zealand, Asia, Europe or even houseswap ! (We are 50kms south of Adelaide in wine country). We have beautiful house and have had house sitters ourselves so know how important it is to get right people. Contact us soon as we have some bookings already at firstname.lastname@example.com or through this site. Can phone on 0618 85562627 for prompt response
We are at present undertaking a six month house/dogs sit in UK,France and Singapore from April to October 2014 and have excellent references.This is our 5th year for the same houseowners. Having had house sitters ourselves know exactly what you want. Not someone who treats your house as their own but one who treats it as a guest - with respect !! Below is the references our 2 houseowners gave us last year.
"Where to start? I don't think there are enough superlatives to apply
to Alf and Lezli. They have house sat for us for the last four years,
both here in England and at our house in France. They are absolutely
wonderful. They look after our houses as if they are their own. They
are totally and utterly responsible and have made sure that when
things have gone awry in the house (which they have a couple of times)
they have informed me and we have arranged to get them dealt with
swiftly. They do far more than I have ever asked of them and are
exceptionally kind. Lezli visits my elderly mother who is in a home
whilst I am away and takes her chocolates! Alf loves gardening and my
garden, both here and in France, never look better than when Alf has
been in charge of them! Not only that, Alf did up my mother's garden
so that it would help me sell her house. It looks fantastic. They also
love my dogs and have looked after them in England and in France - the
dogs really miss Uncle Alf and Auntie Lezli. I never have a moment's
worry when I know they are being cared for by them ".
Actually, Alf and Lezli have really spoiled us and I don't think
anyone else would come anywhere near. Frankly, I don't think I would
want anyone else if they decided they couldn't do it anymore. It's a
great arrangement and suits everybody. We can go away with no worries
and they know that they can treat our houses as their own.
You won't get anybody better I can assure you ".
To Whom it May Concern,
Lezli and Alf Hamon recently minded our home in Singapore whilst we were away for 2 weeks in October 2012. It was our first attempt at using a house-sitter/ dog-sitter. We were extremely happy with the way everything went. The whole process of organizing a sitter was made so smooth by Lezli and Alf. They are experienced house-sitters and world travelers, which made their arrival in Singapore problem-free. They immediately put us at ease with their easy-going personalities as they bonded with our dog Bella.
While we were away, we were advised regularly by email, how things were going with our dog and the condo. Our condo was spotless on our return, our dog had been very well-looked after and loved and the gardening jobs we had requested to be done were done. Fantastic!
We have no hesitation in recommending Lezli and Alf as a house-sitters and certainly we would ask them back again if they were ever interested in returning to Singapore. This was a great experience for us, to be able to leave Bella and the condo in such capable hands. We believe Lezli and Alf to be very dependable, honest and caring people, who genuinely love dogs.
They come highly recommended!
If you would like more information, please contact us at littlesully@rocketmail or call (65) 9116 4958.
Lisa, Scott, Haylee, and Bella Little
Gardening, pool maintenance skills.Good with animals especially dogs. Keep a neat,clean and tidy house. Good interpersonal skills - will not antagonise neighbours !! Having had (good and ordinary) housesitters ourselves would be perfect as we know exactly what is required !! Speak French and a little German

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
This house is absolutely beautiful, had 15 ladies aged 38-74 and everyone enjoyed and can't wait to go back next year. Weather was quite cool so nobody felt like swimming but plan to when we go back. I have rented many properties for my group and this is the absolute best. Tim was very receptive to a couple of questions and then it was smooth sailing. Plenty of room to spread out and yet still be together. I will rent this property every year for as long as I can. We golfed, went to the casino and ate at both Shay's and Rosies Place all within 10 minutes of the house. I have already recommended this house to many of my friends. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your home.

Proposed school budget hits $21 million in Litchfield
The budget committee is recommending an operating budget of nearly $21 million for the fiscal year 2013-2014. If approved, it represents an increase of less than 1.19 percent over the current operating budget, according to Business Administrator Steve Martin.
Superintendent Brian Cochrane focused on four main objectives when developing his recommended budget, including special education, technology, common core standards and building and grounds. Cochrane recommended an increase of more than $800,000. However, Martin stressed Monday that the budget committee ultimately cut more than $500,000 in cuts from the original proposed budget.
"Budget increases outside of the district's control, including the New Hampshire Retirement System's rate increase of $229,591, the transportation contracted rate increase of $29,538 and the budgeted health insurance rate increase of $19,441 were all absorbed by reductions throughout the budget," says a memo written by Martin.
The proposed budget also includes the hiring of several additional special education teachers and paraprofessionals needed to meet individual education plan requirements in 2014, he said.
The school district is anticipating a reduction of about $811,000 in revenue next year, the major contributor being a decrease in the state education adequacy grant, according to the memo.
If the budget is approved by voters at the polls next month, the school portion of the tax rate will increase from $12.79 to $14.12 per $1,000 of assessed valuation.
If adopted, school property taxes (local and state) would be about $5,277 for a home assessed at $320,000, which is up about $430 from the current rate. A home assessed at $240,000 would see an increase from $3,636 to $3,958, or a $322 hike.
Voters are also being asked to support $110,000 for salary increases associated with a two-year collective bargaining agreement reached between the Litchfield School District and the Litchfield Education Association. A separate warrant article will ask voters to authorize the retention of year-end unassigned general funds for the purpose of emergency expenditures, or to reduce the tax rate - up to 2.5 percent of the fiscal year's net assessment.
On Wednesday, residents will have the opportunity to amend all of the warrant articles before they are placed on the ballot for the March 12 election. Wednesday's deliberative session will begin at 7 p.m. at Campbell High School, 1 Highlander Court.

Councilwoman Nancy McLaughlin confirmed this evening that she will run against state Senate Democratic Majority Leader Lisa Brown.
She plans to make her official announcement at a press conference on Tuesday.
McLaughlin has been on the record as considering a run against Brown for months.
"I just had to make sure that I felt like there was enough suport becasue we know it's not going to be an easy run," McLaughlin said during a break at tonight's City Council meeting at the East Central Community Center.
McLaughlin has said for more than a year that she is interested in running for the Legislature. She is a Republican in Eastern Washington's only Democratic-leaning legislative district. But she won a second term on City Council in 2009 in a landslide, winning even her counicl district's most Democratic districts.

What did Peter Drucker, the Father of Modern Management, have to say about leadership? Because Drucker believed that management was itself an important and noble endeavor, he did not, throughout most of his career, focus much on leadership. Having fled Nazi Germany soon after Hitler's rise to power, Peter Drucker's view of leaders, particularly charismatic leaders, was not particularly positive. For Drucker, effective management, not leadership, was the key to success.
Yet, by the end of his life, Drucker acknowledged that leadership was important. I recall that many years ago when Peter came to one of our undergraduate leadership courses, the students asked him his definition of leadership. He said that he did not want to talk about leadership, but about management. A bold student asked, "Can you define management?" Some of the students smiled as Drucker defined "management" and it was quite similar to the agreed-upon definition of "leadership" that the students had come up with in the prior week's class.

In 1985, keyboardist Vince Clarke, having parted ways with Depeche Mode and Yazoo singer Alison Moyet, took an ad out in Melody Maker magazine looking for a new singer to work with. Some 40 respondents showed up at the recording session, each performing two songs Clarke had written for the session. The second-to-last audition of the session was a shy young butcher named Andy Bell. As soon as Andy famously burst into falsetto on the chorus of "Who Needs Love Like That?", Vince knew he had found what he was looking for. They released the track almost immediately, and Erasure was born.A Synth Pop duo, Erasure's style is characterized by rich synthesizer backdrops, upbeat dance-oriented beats, Bell's soaring four-octave range, and one-man multi-part harmonies.Bell was one of the first openly gay performers in the pop music industry, and his voice is regarded as one of the greatest in British soul. They are one of Britain's most successful pop acts, with five Number One albums and 40 Top 40 hits.Although they are most commonly known today as "The band that wrote the song to Robot Unicorn Attack".Discography

I just bought the youth 410/22 combo last week for my son and me to use as a truck tractor gun. As you know this thing weighs as much as a feather. It is kinda cheesy but does what it does what it supposed to do go Bang when you pull the trigger, I do really like it tho for walking around squirrel and bunny getter. The trigger is not bad at all and the 22 is drilled and tapped for scope and is fairly accurate with open sights. The 410 is something else,,, I shot some 3in #5's and 4 rounds of 2 1/2 410 slugs , soda can accurate out to 25yrds with the front bead sight with slugs . The only thing i had go wrong is when i bought and cleaned the gun just make sure to clean really well down in the extractor of the barrel as mine wouldn't extract after the 4th slug. At first i thought i broke it but after getting home and using a ram rod i saw a whole lota gunk in there. Cleaned it out and lubed it and it looks ok. With sluge recoil aint bad but with 3in she'll got your attention cause of its light weight. All and all it's not a bad little gun. Hope you enjoy. O.D.
I bought it so when I go to New York State and Illinois where I can't bring a handgun I have something to offer a little protection and it doesn't take up a lot of space. I am getting the old BS from the guys on my Indiana Gun Forum that it is a kids toy and not worth a dime for protection but I think the 000 shot I have will get someones attention. People compare the 410 with the 22 shell but there have been a lot of people killed with both.
Kids toy hell !!! Ask you buddy to start at 25 yrds with a rock and club, Okay give him some advantage say a brick or bat and come at ya with the 410 kids gun and see what happens. Every person i know has the same allergy and that is PAIN !!! . Then while he is in the hurt stage if that doesn't stop him either re-load or club the crap out of him. Even if more than one all ya gotta do is ask Who wants to get shot first.
Hi Michiana .................. OldYeager here
Nice looking gun rig. I'm a 410 fan. Kinda thought about buying a rig like yours. Whatsit cost? Anyways, I think it should do for PP anywheres.
I just bought (replaced) a 410 into my collection. Gave my old single shot to my daughter and son-in-law for home defence. I bought a Mossberg 500 Pump 410 Fieldgun. Looks OK and holds up to 6 shells. I bought a couple boxes of Winchester 000 buck (3 x .36 caliber lead balls) but havent tested for pattern yet. Definately for home defence. But I have no problen using #4 Duck/Turkey shot for HD either. At HD ranges (less than 50 feet or so) the #4s will take care of business.
Best Regards
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline...
"the only 911 call I need is chambering a round" - Mr. Muller, MO car dealer
Hi SpittingFire .................... OldYeager here
Well I bought those at Walmart at same time as I picked up the new shotgun. I guess its all they had. I probably should have asked for 3 inch tho. I also bought a box of #4 turkey shot and they were the 3 inchers.
But you are right, I think the gun might hold an extra round with 2 1/2 inchers. We have a Gun Show coming to the area next month. I'll go and see if I can find some slugs and maybe some 3 inch 000 Buck then.
This may be a little off topic, but it is about the 410 shotgun and some might find the info useful. I have a link to a good article written about using Slugs in a 410 for hunting deer. The article is pretty well written and gives pros and cons of trying to take deer with 410 slugs. I don't think I'd ever try to take deer with my gun. But the info and story is useful and outlines the limitations for the 410 slug.

So anyway, our last day in Franz Josef, Katy, John and I did a walk around the bottom of the glacier whilst everyone else was climbing it. Quite an impressive sight to see a glacier protruding between mountains into the valley below. On the evening we all had a "few" drinks and did kareoke
We left Franz Josef on Sunday and headed towards Wanaka. The drive was absolutely stunning and although the weather was crap it just added to the whole effect. The roads wound around the bottom of the Southern Alps with mist hanging just above the tree tops and waterfalls everywhere, it was like a scene from Jurrasic Park. Wanaka is a lot like Queenstown only on a smaller scale. The place is built by a lake and there are lots of activities available. Everyone on the bus decided to only stay there one night and on the evening a few of us were planning on going to the cinema but seems like everyone else had the same idea so it was too busy.
Before we left Wanaka yesterday we stopped off at a place called Puzzling world which was a place with all sorts of cool illusions like a room which is built so it looks like you get bigger and smaller as you move around it (see photos) and a life size maze. After that came the time I was dreading - doing a bungee.
Before I came to New Zealand I always wanted to do a skydive but a bungee was something I never thought I would do because I imagined it would be much more petrifying. I was right
"3-2-1 go". I just stood there frozen to the spot. What the hell am I doing? I thought there's absolutely no way I can do this. Then I figured I can't back out now either with everyone watching and cheering me on (much appreciated guys). But what eventually made me do it was the fact that a ten year old girl had done it just before me and I don't think I could have lived it down walking back off that bridge getting shown up by a ten year old girl. The guy counted down again and I started going forward realising it was too late to stop myself my stomach hit my throat and I screamed my head off. Pretty sure I may have blacked out for a second as well
Afterwards when we arrived in Queenstown a few of us went up the hillside in a Gondola where Cheryl did a bungee. When I was watching it I was thinking how much worse that one seemed than the one I did earlier on in the day. Pretty much everyone on our bus went out last night with our bus driver L.J and ended up having a great night.
Today me and Emer went horse riding which was about as extreme as I was going to be getting with a hangover and involved very little input from me as the horse must have walked the same track a gizillion times. At one point we started trotting but a woman almost fell off (yeah O.K so did I) so we had to go back to walking pace. The majority of people went to do a Canyon swing which I might do one day but it's supposed to be even worse than a bungee. Unfortunately my money is also beginning to run out after doing so much the last few weeks. Worth every penny though, it just means that when I finish this kiwi experience it's going to be proper budgeting time which is alright because I'll be in Fiji this time next week and will have plenty of time to save money doing absolutely nothing on the beach.

Apparently, new baseballs are slick and slippery and can lead to the dropsies unless they are deglossed. Did every fan already know this?

I have been working at Allied Healthcare International full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
Regular shifts, fantastic service users and the other carers I was working with mostly seemed nice.Cons
Management disrespectful to the carers of the company, they make you feel bad for actually having a life outside the workplace, they use malicious tactics, if you cannot work certain shifts, as the company is short on carers, the service users suffer. On my interview, I came from another agency that went into administration, and was doing some work for a sister agency, which I wasn't overly fond of, I was accused of being sort of 'industrial spy' despite having 4 superb references. It seems that is more target and financial based than caring about people.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Start taking notice and constructive feedback from your employees, and treat them with respect, you will receive respect back.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

I have been working at Allied Healthcare International part-time (more than an year)Pros
I had wonderful working relationships, with both staff and customers.Cons
As an experienced care worker I was horrified at the abuse and neglect I witnessed during my employment with Allied. Abuse and neglect I reported to management and senior management, only to find I was ignored and ridiculed, they simply didn't care or want to address issues raised. Zero hour contracts and their use by way of punishment and reward, blatant abuse of NMW regulations continually paying staff less by not paying for travel time and often no contribution for expenses mean staff turnover is huge. As good staff leave they are often replaced by people with little or no experience just to cope with demand, this is putting people up and down our country at risk of abuse and neglect in their own homes, I know because I have seen it! Allied are part of a huge private equity firm who seem run this country so not much chance of them moving away from care any time soon!Advice to ManagementAdvice
Improve terms and conditions to attract and retain quality staff. Respect staff and customers, and please do not continue to ignore abuse and neglect. One day you may find yourself requiring care and I am sure the standards currently provided will not be good enough for you and yours!Doesn't RecommendPositive Outlook

Short review: I wonder what these women think when they look at the images and videos carrying their provocative movements of gracefulness, because looking at it from a reviewer�s aspect, I find them to be ladylike and yet naughty, and indeed, glamorous. They�re removing clothing and inhibitions to turn on members, while they stimulate themselves through their exhibitionist actions, leading to masturbation.
Content Amount: When taking into consideration this site is a bit over 2 years old, a person may think the numbers aren�t justified, but, they are. Updating is done, according to date stamps every 7-10 days, so they are actually a few sets ahead, and staying current.
Content Quality: Everything promised from intro came true, and even exceeded their claims in this reviewer�s opinion. Video clips span standard to extremely HD, and also offered will be a choice for your mobile device. The galleries are exquisite in presentation.
