Freshaand#128;and#147;faced, idealistic twentyaand#128;and#147;threeaand#128;and#147;yearaand#128;and#147;old Erin Gruwell is ready to take on the world as she steps inside Wilson High School for her first day of teaching. Her class, a diverse group of racially charged teenagers from different walks of life--African Americans, Latinos, Asians, juvenile delinquents, gang members, and underprivileged students from poor neighborhoods--hope for nothing more than to make it through the day. On the surface, the only thing they share is their hatred for each other and the understanding that they are simply being warehoused in the educational system until they are old enough to disappear. Despite her studentsaand#128;and#153; obstinate refusal to participate during class, Erin tries various means to engage them on a daily basis. But then ghetto reality steps in to focus the picture. A racially motivated gang shooting witnessed by a Latina gang member in Erinaand#128;and#153;s class, and an ugly racial cartoon that Erin intercepts during class, become the most unwittingly dynamic teaching aids. They spark a transformation in the classroom, compel them to listen and force her to take off her idealistic blinders and take in the kidsaand#128;and#153; survival stories of their undeclared war on the streets. Erin begins to connect with them. She brings in music from the aand#128;and#152;Hood, and literature from another kind of ghetto, The Diary of Anne Frank, and with these simple tools she opens her studentsaand#128;and#153; eyes to the experiences of those suffering intolerance throughout the world and the struggles of those outside their own communities. Knowing that every one of her students has a story to tell, Erin encourages them to keep a daily journal of their thoughts and experiences. After sharing their stories with one another, the students see their shared experience for the first time and open up to the idea that there are possibilities in life outside of making it to the age of eighteen.

My "new knife page" is at: http://www.ninehundred.net/~equalccw/knifelaw.html
It includes all the latest knife laws as of 2002, and much more.
Knife laws and cutlery as a legal CCW alternative
This page requires 800x600 resolution to read all the text between the two pics at the bottom! Sorry...
Let me start by saying I have a far more extensive knife collection than gun collection. In over 18 years, I've never been without a combat-capable blade except for court houses, police stations and the like.
I've had to draw once (against a mugger with a large wrench) and he ran off, a result I'm more than happy with. I saved a man's life on BART three years ago: he was being kicked and stomped by four individuals, I pushed them off, the victim ran to the next train back and collapsed and the assailants pulled out a pair of claw hammers. I put my hand on a good-sized blade, they backed down and were rounded up by BART PD.
So I'm running about one incident per decade in which I'm glad I'm armed. No actual use of "cold steel" needed, one life saved not a bad record.
Not too unusual, either. A knife isn't the greatest weapon around but it's not too shabby; considering that CCW is being radically restricted by illegal and unconstitutional means and batons/clubs/sticks have been flat-out banned as defensive weapons, the knife is just about the sole deadly force left to us "commoners".
The good news is, California knife laws are actually quite reasonable, and a lot better than average. For those interested, I'll include a detailed examination of current knife law here but in general, the best bit of news is that per state law, you can carry a folding knife that's designed for manual one-handed opening on your person openly, OR CONCEALED, your choice.
With no length limit on the folders.
This is a discussion on general California knife law, with quotes of actual penal code sections plus a bit of "fringe stuff" just for fun.
A bit more discussion here...
California rules on school grounds carry, including Colleges and Universities, was sketched out in this thread.
The last law change affecting this happened effective 1/1/1998. When that happened, I was one of the first people to realize the implications and started carrying what I term "megafolders", folding combat knives with blades of 5" or more. The two that were available then were the Cold Steel Vaquero Grande and the AlMar QSV, the latter is out of production. Both had "plastic" handles (a high-grade nylon called Zytel to be precise) and while decent pieces, both had limitations. The CSVG is fairly slow to open, uses a medium-grade steel called AUS-8 and has a funky serration pattern that's almost impossible to sharpen even the factory won't do it. Still, for the price, the CSVG and it's smaller 5" blade cousins in the Voyager/Gunsite line are pretty good hardware. Pictures, specs and list prices are available here. Figure discount prices on the Internet will be at least 1/3rd less than list, in Cold Steel's case.
But in the 4" range, great strides forward were being made in blade materials, overall construction and especially lock design and strength. Benchmade came out with the Axis lock licensed from a smaller company called William & Henry, and Round Eye Knife And Tool (REKAT) came out with the "Rolling Lock"; each offered excellent strength and high resistance to accidental closure, both critical in a combat folder. Other good locks are out there but these were and remain among the most advanced in the world.
Since most of the nation has a 4" length limit on folders, Benchmade wouldn't even consider a megafolder. But REKAT started up a discussion forum for their product line as a sub-forum on Bladeforums, a discussion board which I'm a charter moderator of. Led by yours truly, we convinced REKAT that 1/9th of the US population (California) made up a decent market for a smaller company such as them. They were still hesitant, so I pointed out that Texas has a 5.5" limit, and a 5.45" megafolder of good quality with a modern steel and the Rolling Lock would be something no serious knife knut would want to be without.
They did it the result was the REKAT "Sifu", Chinese for "teacher" and what you generally call an instructor in Kung Fu, Wing Chung or whatever.
This is currently the absolute over-the-top undisputed king of the combat megafolders. It opens like greased lightning, feels rock-solid in the hand, the steel is good (ATS34) and adequate for any possible "combat" situation. For daily hard-use utility, they're about to ship a D2 steel version that'll have edgeholding from hell but for "daily defensive carry" ATS34 or it's close relative 154CM will do just fine. Except for the basic concept and the 5.45" length, I can't take credit for the actual design...I wish I could.
The people who operate Bladeforums also run an online store and given that this is one of the finest online communities available anywhere AND the Sifu's birthplace, I'd highly recommend doing business with them. Prices will be good, and discounted, but not quite as low as some of the deepest Internet discounters. Not far off though. And REKAT has been producing special Bladeforums limited editions with unusual color patterns, such as the red-grip, black blade special guaranteed to get that extra measure of wetness out of any mugger's undies :). Mike Turber and his trusty sidekick Spark the webmaster do an unconditional 30-day guarantee so if you can't find one of these "in the flesh" to fondle, buying from these guys is an excellent plan.
Order the Bladeforums "red'n'back special" here or goto the main BF store (Onestopknifeshop) to see other Sifu variants like the Carbon Fiber.
For being the main guy prodding 'em into building this lovely beast,
REKAT offered me serial number one of the first 70 handground specimens.
It's been daily carry for about six months now and I'll never part with
it. I just can't say enough good things about this critter.
Mine pre-dates the introduction of pocket clips on Sifus but since I hate
clips anyways I don't miss it. I designed and built my own sheath
out of Kydex, a thermoplastic:
You can see more on this sheath's design, including blueprints and a "how to", at this link.

Former World Bank Vice-President for Africa, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili, has said Nigeria can fully develop its potential if its youths imbibe core moral and social values.
Ezekwesili stated this on Wednesday at the University of Calabar, Cross River State while delivering a keynote address on 'Nigerian Tertiary Institutions of Learning- Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow: implications for National Transformation.'
According to her, tertiary institutions in the country are important vehicles of rural transformation hence the need for youths to act as agents of change.
She frowned on the way youths have embraced social vices, saying the action had hindered national transformation that could promote development.
Ezekwesili, who also decried the effect of corruption on national transformation, said curbing it would only be possible through youths.
She said, "Today's youths have more challenges than those who came before them because the population has grown and opportunities are narrowed. For any youth to surpass those before him, he will have to work hard enough to earn it."
Also, the Minister of Tourism and Culture, Chief Edem Duke, urged youths to imbibe values that promote discipline, integrity and dignity.
He challenged them to direct their energies toward achieving goals that would transform the country by buying into the transformation agenda of the Federal Government.
He said, "The President believes that today's youths are building blocks for Nigeria's future."
Earlier, the Director-General of the National Orientation Agency, Mr. Mike Omeri, said his agency was carrying out campaigns in universities to push for character and attitudinal change.
He said, "Regrettably, our tertiary institutions have reached a crisis point where all forms of social vices have found expression."

text: I love Tina Majorino in just about anything so I kind of knew that I'd be comfortable through most of this despite some bad comments about it (Martin Gardner calls it "undistinguished" and "boring" in "The Annotated Alice" and considering how great his insights are in the margins of that volume, I couldn't well not believe him). With the book _very_ fresh in my mind (I just finished reading it minutes before putting this on), I was pretty dazzled by how faithful it is to the text (to "Wonderland" at least; I can't speak for the episodes towards the end I'm assuming are from "Through the Looking Glass", which I've not yet read). That, however, turns out to perhaps be the production's singular problem. There's a fine line between being faithful and too damn literal, and this certainly crosses that line eventually. As expected, I found Majorino delightful as Alice (I don't like the yellow dress though :P) - her English accent is a little too clipped at times but mostly it's perfect, as is she. The rest of the cast is certainly impressive (how often do you find Ken Dodd, Martin Short _and_ Gene Wilder in the same place, lol?) but often just plain annoying; for me nothing much compares to the fantastic supporting cast of "the Fiona Fullerton version":http://ambival.net/movies/alices-adventures-in-wonderland. The visual effects are fairly clunky at times and the production and costume design etc (I already mentioned the yellow dress) is some of the most garish and unappealing I've seen in any artwork based on the story - towards the end, in fact, it almost looks like they're running out of money by the scene. For Majorino and the details in the script, however, it's certainly worth seeing if you've read and enjoyed the source material.

Optional: is joy, cancer and madness optional?
Cancer is a symptom
Cancer is a symptom, a sign of the dysfunctional lifestyles of today. Cancer is a sign that we are not living life that we were made for. Evolution has shaped human body, mind and spirit for a different way of living. Cancer is caused by lifestyle habits and not genetic factors. Madness is probable the same. Thus is joy, cancer and madness related to lifestyle factors?
Making Miracles
I have seen healings that are like miracles where the cancer had spread to bones, liver and lungs and the persons are now alive and well 7-10- 25 years later. I have practiced Internal Medicine for forty years and I have never seen anything so remarkable as this. I have seen enough remarkable healing to know they are real and they are not rare. How can this be?
(I) Cancer and lifestyle factors
Most cancers are caused by lifestyle factors. Most cancers are increasing in frequency and in all ages. Thus we are killing outsells and in an epidemic manor and we are also teaching our children the same.
Digitized research
The statements that are made are taken from controlled scientific research studies and the facts can be verified within minutes because most of the works are available readily on the Internet. Again why is this so?
Control cancer
Research has been around for years that indicate cancer is caused by various factors. Now there are studies that strongly indicate we are able to control most cancers and do so better than surgery etc.
Heart disease and lifestyle
Coronary artery disease like cancer is caused by lifestyle habits and also heart disease like cancer can be controlled without surgery by altering lifestyle habits. Are there other conditions that can be treated by altering lifestyle habits? There are a number of conditions that follow the same patterns of distribution around the world similar to cancer and coronary heart disease that could probably be controlled by altering habits. It is also known that Diabetes Mellitus is controlled by altering habits.
(II) Madness
Madness is not caused by brain disease. Madness (Depression, Manic Depression and Schizophrenia) is not caused by brain disease but is caused by thinking poorly. Madness has also been increasing in young and old like most cancer and now occurs at epidemic proportions and these rates of madness and cancer increases involve young and old. Is it possible to control madness in similar manner as is being done with cancer and heart disease?
(III) Joy-closeness
Joy. The word joy is going to be used to cover the joy of serving, sharing, closeness and caring that occur when people are able to work in harmony as a cohesive group. Joy is working together, cooperating in creating and sharing close relationships. This term joy is going to include closeness, touch, love and trust and to include enthusiasm and ebullience. Just how important is joy and closeness in health.
Changing medical history
A Paridigm Shift is occurring because there is a major change in scientific understanding of the cause(s) of illness. We now have proof of how emotions affect health and we call it the mind-body connections. An example of which would be the relation of stress and infections. This is often confused with New Age writings.
Stress and infection
Prolonged stress is reduces immunity and reduced immunity allows infectious agents to enter the system. Also reduced immunity allows cancer cells to grow. Scientific studies are now able to prove this fact so that treatments need to be instituted because pills are not able to overcome fear and depression; major heath issues are related to emotional situations or problems or the mind body relationship.
Change in medical history
Joy-closeness. The ability of some persons to develop and enjoy close relationships is a major factor in health. Scientific studies are changing 150 years of medical history. The quality and quantity of your life will parallel the quality and quantity of your friendships. There are 50 pages of research studies that show the quality and quantity of your life will correlate with the quality and quantity of your working friendships. Researchers have eight large straight forward studies that quantity of life is correlated with such relationships. One just measures the duration of lifespan and show that those with social bonding live two to three times longer. The studies that prove quality of life is increased become more creative.
Better babies
Pregnant women that receive mental and physical support during pregnancy, labor and beyond have better babies than women who receive less support. This was confirmed by studies such as those done on unmarried pregnant teenage Navaho girls. The thesis was confirmed by comparing the Apgar scores. Persons that are more emotionally unsettled required more anesthesia causing babies to be more drowsy and slower to breathe than those receiving less anesthesia. Nurses score newborns by skin color (oxygenation), alertness, muscle tone and reflexes.
Pain and infections
Controlled studies are discussed that show people with terminal cancer live longer and control pain better when in a proper support setting. Also people tolerate the ravages of stress related infections better when in a healthy surroundings. Life for humans has changed in the last 12,000 years. Support of mothers during pregnancy affects the babies for a lifetime.
Stress hardy babies
Mothers that have been supported during pregnancy, labor and early childhood have babies that are more stress hardy rather than the over reactor babies and children of mother receiving less support. The genes are set at the time of deliver and fixed for a lifetime. Seventy percent of our genes are set at the time of delivery. This condition of fixing genes at birth has also been studies in other animals.
Predict death
Who is most likely to get sick suffer and die? Scientists at Johns Hopkins and Harvard in studies that lasted 35-45 years showed that disease could be predicted. Young healthy student who felt they were not as close to their mothers and fathers developed disease and death sooner than those who perceived their relationship to parents to be closer. Now we can look at lifestyle habits and ask what has happened to have altered joy-closeness, cancer and coronary artery disease. Also I believe we can ask the same questions about madness.
Evolution of deadly lifestyles
Humans have been present for 1/4 of a million years. Also humans had ancestors even before that time by millions of years. And now we know that the Hunter-Gathers have been transformed into modern man in the last 12,000 years. Our current lifestyle habits have evolved from Hunter-Gatherers to the present day in 12,000 years. And now we know some of these lifestyle habits are deadly. There are a number of studies that correlate lifestyle habits with cancer and these studies are discussed but there are recent studies the show the importance of joy, closeness and enthusiasm. It is important to remind oneself how our thinking as well as our state of well being needs to be addressed.
Why is joy so hard to find? Why is cancer and madness increasing in epidemic numbers? Also there is much written that we know other condition fit this continuum of cancer to madness such as drug addiction, crime and social disruption? See Bowling Alone. What makes the difference and what makes the world go around? At this point I want to show only one characteristic point that makes the difference, closeness or love.
Lessen cancers impact
Controlled studies from four Universities showed that well manage supportive care, definitive relaxing exercises and group therapy was more effective in controlling cancer than the combination of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Controlled studies from STANFORD, USC, UCLA and UCSF showed that supportive treatment to be better than the stand care of today.
Controlled studies show cancer can be conquered and or controlled. Studies from UCSF included an exercise program plus specific dietary changes that made dramatic improvement in the results. The showed cancer can be conquered or controlled.
The purpose of this book is to give hope to those that have lost hope and are feeling helpless. The purpose of this book is to lessen pain and suffering.
The purpose of this book is suggest that our lifestyle habits are making life miserable and is causing cancer to increase. That the lifestyle habits of The Hunter-Gatherers are inappropriate for modern man. The lack of joy, dysfunctional thinking and madness may be due to the same inappropriate lifestyle habits of today.
OBJECTIVES: (1) Establish the facts that lifestyle habits cause or correlate with the most common cancer. Discuss the recent evidence that dictates with irrefutable evidence that the most common cancers are related to lifestyle habits and also to suggest that the less common cancer probably have similar relationships.
(2) Establish the lifestyle habits that correlate with disease: Improper diet and lack of adequate exercise correlate with the incidence of cancer but the stress factors or psychosocial factors are now more clearly demonstrated by new scientific research.
(3) Joy-closeness. Are we on the edge of great change? Are we ready to see the world in a new way? Are we ready to study joy-closeness and love?
(3) ALL ILLNESS IS CAUSED BY STRESS FACTORS (PSYCHOSOMATIC) and or STRESS IS THE SINGLE GREATEST AGGRAVATING FACTOR .
If one is able to control the contents of one mind one is able to control the cause of cancer or control the greatest aggravating factor in the management of cancer therapy.
For if you can control the contents of the conscious mind you begin to control the unconscious mind and then you control the mind/body and all the organs therein and you can control destiny.
Studies meditation in laboratory
Doctor Herbert Benson after he completed his training at Harvard Medical School as a Cardiology Specialist spent two years in the rather famous Harvard Physiology Laboratory studying the effects of meditation on the contents of the mind and how the contents of the mind controlled the body physiology or the blood pressure, breathing brain function, digestion, kidneys and adrenal glands.
Biofeedback Assisted Relaxing Exercises
Relaxing exercises have also been studied also at the Mayo Clinic, as well as at the Menninger Foundation. Relaxing exercises are time consuming but effective. We are living in a fast pace world. Also many persons are adapting well to the modern world. The relaxing exercises have slightly different names and techniques and these are discussed later on.
I believe that if you are able to control stress by using the relaxing exercises you are able to control the stress that is causing the illness or eliminating the stress that is the most aggravating factor in the illness.
Learning a new concept
We hear and apprehend only what we already half know. This statement is from Henry David Thoreau and I read about it from David Brooks in his book The Social Animal. How does one understand a new concept? To fully understand a strange concept one until one has worked with the concept for week and months and used the concept in different ways. Wayne Dyer writes a book, Youll See It When You Believe It describes many different ways the topic is true and then I uses the phrase in a different ways also.
I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.

QUITMAN — Darontay McCoy's voice was low, way down there where it hurts. His vocal chords were fine. His heart was just a bit out of sync.
"We will come out stronger,'' he said. "This will make us better.''
Thursday's bitter, 57-52 loss to Thomasville in the Region 1-AA semifinals might just do that for Early County, a team that has played bigger than its size all year.
The Bobcats had to rise up and play bigger against Thomasville — play bigger or get run over by the Bulldogs' enormous front, which stands 6-foot-8, 6-6, and 6-6.
Nobody runs over Early, and in the end it took huge once-in-a career shots by a couple of Bulldogs who came off the bench just in time to lift Thomasville into tonight's Region 1-AA championship game in Quitman.
Early County, ranked No. 2 in The Herald's Fab 5 Poll, is now relegated to the third-place game at 5:30 p.m. against Cook, but McCoy promises much more out of the Bobcats tonight — and if Early delivers, it might just be ready to make a significant run in the state tournament next week. They ran hard at state-ranked Thomasville, which stormed out to a big lead on the shoulders of Greg Wimberly, and hung on, thanks to a floater from Andrew Parker, who gave the Bulldogs a 50-48 lead, and a long 2-pointer by Devonta Wyche with 1:37 left to all but seal the game.
Those two backups backed Early into a corner, and even Ladonis Yarbrough's 3-pointer with 1:22 left wasn't enough, because Wyche answered it with a pair of free throws with 58 seconds left to make it a 54-51 game, and Wimberly, who did everything but make out the lineup, blocked his third shot of the game to all but put it away for Thomasville.
Yarbrough finished with 14 points, and Jacori Taylor finished with six before fouling out. Thomasville's 6-8 center Willie Clayton scored nine points and also fouled out.
"The difference in the game was Greg (Wimberly),'' Early County coach Randy Isom said. "We shut everybody else down, but he showed up. He showed up and stepped up.''
Wimberly opened the game with an alley-oop slam and never slowed down. He just kept coming, and Thomasville took an 11-2 lead before the Bobcats knew what hit them. Wimberly went to halftime with 18 points that lifted his team to a 31-25 lead. Then he opened the second half with a trey to lift the Bulldogs to a 34-25 cushion. He finished with 26 points, eight rebounds and the respect of everyone in the Brooks County gym.
Thomasville built the lead to 10 and 12 points at times, but Early simply wouldn't go away.
"We had a rough time early in the game,'' McCoy said. "But coach told us we had to get going, and we had to run. That's what we did in the second half.''
Despite being outsized, Early came back, forcing 21 turnovers, including 12 in the second half. McCoy was inspiring as he and 6-2 center Taylor battled inside all night. It was Taylor's first game back from a knee injury, but his return shows promise for a Bobcats team that can run with anyone.
McCoy scored 11 of his team-high 20 points in the fourth quarter and finally caught the Bulldogs when he dropped in three free throws after a Bulldogs' technical foul. Then he banked in a put-back on the ensuing possession to knot things at 48-48 with 3:57 left.
"Darontay gave me everything,'' Isom said. "And I'm so proud of Cori, the way he played against those 6-8, 6-6 guys. When we tied it, I thought we were going to win it. We just needed to get the lead. If we would have taken the lead, they would could have made them come out of their zone and play us man-to-man.''
Then Thomasville's back-ups struck back.
They hit back-to-back big shots to lift Thomasville, which is the three-time defending Region 1-AA champions.
"About the only thing we did wrong was in our shot selection,'' Isom said. "We just need to take better shots — shots that favor us. But I'm proud of my kids. We were down by 10, 12 points, and we fought back. They have the character to be fighters. We just have to be smarter. We have to be smarter fighters.''
And maybe a little stronger.
"We will be stronger,'' McCoy promised.

Different managers have different leadership styles. But management experts insist that regardless of the approach, there are some steps that ought to be avoided, SIMON EJEMBI writes
After years of hard work, you are now the boss; you call the shots. And every day, you are on the look out to ensure everything is running smoothly and that no one makes a mistake. In doing this, management experts say you are likely to forget to check yourself for mistakes; and your mistakes are likely to have bigger impact on the success of your organisation or unit. Though they admit that it is impossible to completely avoid mistakes, they stress that by understanding the common mistakes managers will be in a better position to avoid them, and when they make any of the mistakes, they will be able to learn great lessons from them.
Some of the common mistakes listed by experts include:
Shunning additional training
According to experts many people fail as managers because of inadequate training. They explain that when an individual rise through the ranks to become a manager, it is important that such a person receives some form of management training.
The Chief Executive Officer, Institute of Strategic Management, Nigeria, Mr. Adeyemi Mapaderun, says getting basic management training may not be enough in today's world. This, he explains, is because 'managers will excel only where the environment is stable'.
"In Nigeria in 1970, because of the pace of growth of the country and the enormous resources that it possessed, we thought that Nigeria should focus on developing managers… Unfortunately, managers will excel only where the environment is stable. But the 21st Century environment is a very dynamic and oftentimes turbulent one," he says.
"In other words, what obtained yesterday would most likely not obtain today. At that point, it became imperative that we focus more on strategic leadership and less on management because it takes a strategic leader to navigate the environment."
Being too distant
Some managers, in their quest to give their workers the freedom to be creative, end up being too distant from them. Experts say such a move can lead to a lot of problems for the organisation and for such managers because by being to hands-off, they leave their workers without supervision. Yes, they are people who can work with little supervision, but many others require supervision.
Failing to provide feedback
Many companies have periodic evaluations and many managers chose to wait for such periods to point out the mistakes or weaknesses of their employees. According to experts, by doing that, some managers may be missing a great opportunity, and putting the company at risk. This, they say is because the attitude or flaws of such workers may affect productivity, which in turn may cost the company clients. They explain that it is possible that some workers have no clue that one of their habits is unsuited for the office or that a task they have just completed was wrongly done; and all they may require to improve is prompt feedback from their boss. By providing regular feedback to employees, managers can keep them in check and prevent them from creating divisions among the workers or causing the company to lose customers.
Being inaccessible
Some managers are just 'too busy' for their workers; they have no time. All the time they have is for meetings with associates and clients. According to experts, this is a huge mistake because when you are done holding meetings with your clients, it is your employees that will provide the service, produce the product needed or execute the project that was discussed. When you cut them off, they may fail to do what is expected of them. This is because they need to make clarification and when they have challenges, they will need you to guide them or provide a solution. Management experts advise that managers should always create time for their workers because without them, you will have no products or service to deliver. Ensure you keep an open door policy, because it will help you to keep your workers on the same page with you. According to them, a manager is unlikely to succeed if he or she does not have time for employees.
Being too close or friendly
Yes, experts say managers should not be too distant. Yes, they say managers should not be inaccessible. Now, they say managers should not be too friendly with employees. How is that possible? Experts say it is possible once you learn to strike a balance, and always remember that you are the boss. They say while you are supposed to be approachable, be becoming friends or too friendly with employees may make it difficult for you to function effectively. This is because you have to take tough decisions about your workers every now and then.
Getting motivation all wrong
Experts say many managers make the mistake of thinking that money is all that motivates their staff members. They say while money is a factor, it is not the only thing, stressing that other things such as the nature of the work schedule (i.e is it flexible?), commendation, respect and working hours, among other things play a role. Once you have failed to motivate your workers, you will be unable to get the best out of them, which is enough to make you fail as a manager. To avoid this, experts say you must bear in mind that it is not all about the money.
Trying to do it all yourself
Another big mistake managers make is that they hardly delegate responsibilities because they believe that only they can get the task done properly. Some managers don't delegate, because they feel that no-one apart from themselves can do key jobs properly. Experts say this is not only a source of demotivation for workers, it can get the managers frustrated and stressed. To succeed, they say managers must learn to trust employees and delegate responsibilities because they just can't do it all themselves.

GJournal progress…
July 12, 2006 by pjd · 12 Comments
Ok, the work on fast fsck is finished. I integrated it with fsck_ffs(8).
I also changed the way how gjournaled file system is created. Now you need to use '-j' option for newfs(8) to create gjournaled file system. You can also use 'tunefs -j enable' on an existing file system. You don't need to provide 'gjournal' mount option any more, but when file system is gjournaled it will be visible in mount options.
I removed a hack of how gjournal was looking for gjournaled file systems. It is much nicer now.
Currently fsck will scan all cylinder groups, which is fast, but it could be a lot faster when I could add cs_nunrefs field to csum structure – file system keeps statistics about all cylinder groups after the super-block and having an information about which cylinder groups have unreferenced inodes would save us a lot of seeking. Unfortunately it will change UFS on-disk layout which is not acceptable at this point.

This is a branch from a post about uniforms I was just curious. My son is still a toddler, but I am interested to know how many kids have to wear uniforms to school? Is this a normal thing now? Also, if you can say if it's public or private and what city or state or country you're in, if you can. You can go anon if afraid of stalkers or something.
Quoting Misery_Stitches:
My daughters primary school (public) bought in a uniform when she was 6 yrs old. Now most schools in the area have uniforms.
She is 11 now and moving on to intermediate school. They also have uniforms.

Romantic chandelier styling from Kathy Ireland, full of excitement and glamour.
Featured in "Florida Design" magazine, it's La Vida Buena styling from Kathy Ireland Home Gallery's Coleccion Illuminacion del Amor. This chandelier simply bursts with excitement and glamour. Core column is accented by an oak leaf motif with crystal droplets. Ivory fabric bell shades with braided top and bottom trim.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
Best for the price,very classy
It hungs over my formal dinner room table
This chandelier was installed in our dining room and my wife loves it! Enough said? Great look, stylish design and great light that it gives off. I am not sure we could have done any better at this price point. Buy it, you won't be sorry!
We were looking for just the right fixture for our dining room. So glad we found this fixture because it is perfect. It adds character, class, and good lighting. Everyone that has seen it has complimented it and remarked how good it looks. They always think that it must have cost 4X's what we paid for it.
Eye catching for formal dining room. Excellent craftsmanship.
It is elegant and it has several matching lights to create a coherent look. We own three light of the same line.
Everything about all of my purchases with Lamps Plus has been an unexpected delight. Customer service staff have spent an exhorbinant amount of time assisting me in finding items and assuring my satisfaction. While I have made several purchases from Lamps Plus, my favorite is this Kathy Ireland chandelier. It not only adds a touch of elegance when lit but also presents so well that is extremely beautiful when my china closet is lit and the chandelier only has reflected light. The prisms reflect light beautifully. I indicate that hanging the chandelier is difficult only to point out that the weight of this chandelier requires a wooden attachment in the ceiling above where it hangs. The compliments on this beauty are untold. My daughter says the chandelier reminds her of the one in Phantom of the Opera. I think it is prettier than that one though.
We took the lampshades off of our chandelier and really like how this looks. For holidays I may get some festive shades to help celebrate. I get many compliments on this fixture.
I love how it looks over our dining room table. It lights up the area well. The little bit of bling is great.
This light fixture is absolutely breathtaking. It's very well made and elegant. I am in such shock at the price. The chandelier looks like it costs much more.I visited the Lamps Plus store in Plano, TX. Richard helped me coordinate all my fixtures,and was very knowledgeable in doing so. I told him my home was decorated in French Country, and he knew just what fixtures I needed. II have shopped around and cannot believe the value and selection that Lamps Plus has.
The chandelier is placed over the coffee table in our oversized den/lv and it looks fantastic. It really adds to the overall decor of the space. We are very happy with this purchase.
This chandelier is beautiful and looks expensive. It is large and makes a statement in the room. Works well with most decor and lights up room nicely.
Everything about Lamps Plus, and products you buy from them is beyond beautiful, there staff is amazing, they stand by there prices... Just called and save another $100... on my amazing Kathy Ireland Chandelier...I have 2 of her chandeliers, one more beautiful then the next!
I recommend all my friends to this site, and they all feel the same way.... I would never shop for fixtures at any other site or store....
Thank you Lamps Plus, and thank you Patty, for your amazing help!!! :)
This is a beautiful dining room fixture! If you want the fixture to hang on a swag electric chain to be centered over a table, it won't work because of the heaviness of the fixture.
This chandelier is beautiful. The picture really does it no justice. I hung it over my dining room table and it's beautiful.
I put this light over my dining room table and love it!!!! Its so classy looking.My best buy yet.
My electrician just installed it last night. He thought it was very expensive when he took it out of the box. That statement made me very happy. The price for this gorgeous chandelier was so reasonable that after years of living with an outdated brass chandelier hand-me-down.....I am thrilled to finally have something amazing hanging over my dining room table. The crystals are substantial, the quality all around is amazing. Even the shades that come with it are well-made. I am looking forward to showing it off at my next dinner party....
I searched and searched for the perfect chandelier and always came back to this one for the beauty and price. It really is a great value when compared to similar products. I LOVE IT! I do suggest when hanging the crystals that some of the "leaf" end be bent upward for a pretty hang. It's easy. LOVE that the shades are included and not extra in price. (and crystals!)
It is very solid and gorgeous! It totally changed the look of my dining room!
Tags: Using Product
Formal dining room is the perfect place for this fixture. Crystals, but not too fussy. Just makes such a wow factor in your room!
Was unsure of ordering a chandelier on line. Glad I did! It is a beautiful addition to my dining room!!
Eligant design.
Looks luxury.
We purchased this for our formal dining room and it has totally transformed the look of the room. Classy without that TOO formal feel.
This is just what my dining area needed to make our dining an excuisite experience. I absolutely love my chandelier!
This chandelier transformed the look of our dining room. It adds a classy appeal yet not over-the-top. Definitely would recommend this as a key element to a dining room and/or entry way with high ceilings.
Beautiful and very well made...love it!
I just had this installed in my living room which has a 20 foot ceiling. This fit beautifully without looking overbearing. The leaves and shades add a very refined look without appearing obnoxious or tacky. Perfect for my house's wrought iron and rubbed bronze fittings.
I love this light and its excellent quality for the price
We have used in our foyer and its little small for area but does work since it is not hiding design of stair case. Therefore combined effect is good.
Crystals/jewels hanging are little week and they easily come off, during cleaning and break. This is what really not likeable.
We hung this chandelier in our dining room. It is just where it's meant to be. We have dark brown bamboo flooring matched with the chandelier color and the dining furniture too. I think this is the most beautiful room in our house, with the chandelier as the focal point. For a chandelier, the price was a good deal. Because it's heavy, we have to adjust in the attic to make sure it can hold and safe to hang.
Our associates are standing by to assist you.

Daisy Bank mission church memories
Posted: March 25, 2014|
THIS selection of photographs, some dating back 90 years, have been kindly loaned to us by Bernard Francis of Walsall.
Bernard grew up in the Daisy Bank area of Coseley and his family attended St Aidan's Mission Church.
Our first picture dates from 1924 and shows the St Aidan's mothers Tuesday meeting, of which Bernard's mother was a member. Bernard has done a good job in supplying us with as many names of the women as he can, despite the picture being taken before he was born.
On the back row, from left are: Mrs Lewis, Mrs S. Lewis, unknown, unknown, Mrs Morris, Mrs Attwood, Mrs Wilde and Mrs Withers. Middle row: Mrs Francis, holding son Dennis, Mrs Blackburn, Mrs Amiss, unknown, Mrs Churms, unknown, Mrs Smith, unknown and Mrs Downes with son Wilfred. Front row: Mrs Hampton, Mrs Rees, Mrs Barnes, unknown, Deaconess Grace, Mrs Sumner, Mrs Worsey, Mrs Ball and Mrs Davies.
The next picture shows the St Aidan's mothers Tuesday meeting again, but this time a few years later in 1932. Again Bernard has named as many names as he can.
Back row: Mrs Blackburn, Mrs Heathcote, unknown, unknown, unknown, Mrs Worall and unknown. Middle row: unknown, Mrs Sidaway, Mrs Roberts, Mrs Wilde, Mrs Reynolds and Mrs Lewis. Front row: Mrs Hampton, Mrs Sumner, Miss Hodges, Mrs Rees, Mrs Worsey and Mrs Francis with young Bernard.
Processions were a regular feature of the church or chapel calendar in days gone by and Bernard has a picture taken in 1932 that shows the St Aidan's Mission Choir processing with their church banner along Wesley Street.
The crucifer carrying the cross is Mr Smith and in the left-hand column are Dennis Francis, Harry Wilde, Horace Jones, unknown, unknown and Ernie Long. In the right-hand column are Wilf Elwell, unknown, Stanford and Arthur Gough. Dennis, Horace, Ernie and Arthur were all maternal first cousins.
Our last picture is another photograph of the mission choir, taken in around 1947, and Bernard has named every member for us.
Back row: Dennis Francis (organist and choirmaster), Wilf Downes, Arthur Francis and Roland Rhodes. Middle row: Bill Devey, Ray Shorthouse, David Morgan, Cliff Middleton, Ray Ellis, Wilf Orton and Stan Middleton. Front row: Mike Davies, Peter Garvey, John Middleton, Bernard Francis, Rev J.C. Enser, James Salt, Joey Carrington, Sam York and Ron Ellis.
St Aidan's Mission Church was completed around 1888, one of three mission churches that were established by Rev William Spencer, the wealthy (his family owned steelworks in Northumberland) and zealous vicar of Christ Church, Coseley, from 1883 to 1912. They were built to counter the influence of Methodism in the area and all three were dedicated to Anglo-Saxon saints, the others being St Oswald's at Ladymoor and St Cuthbert's at Wallbrook. Sadly, none of these mission churches are in use today.
What are your memories of St Aidan's Mission Church, Daisy Bank? Can you provide any missing names or have you any old photographs or stories to share with Bugle readers? Please send them in and we shall return any pictures once they have been published. Contact email@example.com or write to 41 High Street, Cradley Heath, B64 5HL.

I recently came across an application where I needed to use a multi-value parameter in SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). Â I always seemed to have trouble with these in the past. Â This time I found them very easy to use because I found (re-discovered?) a simple way.
The basic idea is to set up a parameter as if it were going to be a single value parameter with the topmost row selected by default. Â I will walk through the steps of this scenario.
I chose the AdventureWorks database to do this sample and focused on June 2004 Sales to get an easy dataset to work with.
1. Create the basic dataset:
2. Set up the layout for the report:
3. Preview the report with no parameters:
4. Create a new dataset for the territories list:
5. Set up the parameter, TerritoryID, like a normal single-value parameter. Â Be sure to set the default value to make it default to the topmost row in the list. Â In this case, the topmost is "Australia", TerritoryID of 9.
6a. Apply the filter to the table. Â Notice that I am not editing the dataset, but simply adding a filter to the table properties. Â If you are usually the type to edit the dataset (like myself), just hang with me for a second. Â Right-click the edge of the table and then choose Properties:
6b. Â Modify the table properties to add the filter. Â Since you can't read it all, it says
=Fields!TerritoryID.Value = Parameters!TerritoryID.Value
7. Check the finished result. Â We now have a report with a single parameter. Â The topmost selection, Australia, is automatically selected and our filter is applied by default.
8. So far, so good–there is nothing extraordinary about what we've done so far. Â Now, we simple make the parameter multi-value by changing the report parameters and checking the Multi-value box:
9. Don't rush off just yet, or you'll see this error message when you choose Preview:An error occurred during local report processing. An error has occurred during report processing. The processing of FilterExpression for the table 'Sales' cannot be performed. Cannot compare data of types System.Byte and System.Object[]. Â Please check the data type returned by the Filter Expression.
10. Â You need to make one small change to the filter. Â Open the table properties again, but this time change the operator from equals (=) to IN. Â Since the Parameters!TerritoryID.Value now contains a comma separated list, we need to search IN instead of comparing.
11. Now, preview your report. Â The left image shows the initial preview, the right image shows the drop-down list blown out, you can see that Select All is selected by default.
One caveat is that performance is not going to be top notch because Reporting Services is filtering on the entire dataset every time. Â It would (most likely, depending on your implementation) be faster to filter in the dataset. Â However, this approach often requires a lot of development work on the T-SQL side to get it working. Â This approach is easy and quick enough for many applications. Â Enjoy.
Update: I found a good example of the hard way to do multi-value parameters (by using SQL). Â If you scroll down to the second post, there is source code there for converting a delimited string into a table variable. Â I have re-formatted the charlist_to_table source code to make it more legible.
Brilliant, thanks from a newbie to SSRS and IT generally, previously Excel expert.
Great article
Thanks, and Greate work you have done, this article helped me lot
Thanks. I was having a brain freeze and glad I founds this. The advantage to filtering it on the table level is that if you the user changes parameters and re-generates the report, it is very fast since it already has the dataset.
Simple and fast solution for us guys new to reporting services world.
Doing the filering in the dataset is just as easy as filtering the data afterwards and gives much better performance
Just use a where clause like
"WHERE TerritoryID IN (@TerritoryID)"
SQL sever will read the multi value parameter @territoryID as a comma seperated list of values.
Thank you for the tip. I found it very helpful. I have been searching this multivalued parameter option for some time.
As you suggested, the named parameter option will have much performance aspect. But, I was struggling as my ODBC connection not supporting the named parameter ("WHERE TerritoryID IN (@TerritoryID)â€) possibility.
So, I guess, this is the only one option left for me.
Please suggest, if you have any more updates on this!
Thank you! This helped me quite a bit.
This one did it for me:
Just use a where clause like
"WHERE TerritoryID IN (@TerritoryID)â€
Merci énormément pour cette petite explication. Cela est plus que pratique.
Merci encore.
Excelente articulo funciona muy bien, saludos
Thank-you! This worked perfectly!
very professonal. Thank you
WOW! Thanks for taking baby steps with us. Love now you said, "don't go anywhere just yet" – See many of us developer want to copy and paste the code real quick so i like you format here and I learned more. Saved me a lot of time.

Many thanks, it is a great page :)

WASHINGTON – Ramone wrote many of the songs for The Ramones and now his admiring public will get a look at some of his influences when 97 records from his personal collection are auctioned off.
Billboard reports the online auction will also include some of Ramone's clothing, his passport, handwritten lyrics and his personal Rolodex.
Record titles up for sale include Led Zeppelin, the Who, Cream, Bob Dylan, Elton John and Kiss, Billboard says.
And even though Joey Ramone said punk was a reaction to the rock scene in the early '70s, his collection includes Emmerson Lake and Palmer.
The online auction opens Feb. 14 and ends Feb. 21. The minimum bid is $500.

Autopsy Shows Woman Killed In Capitol Chase Was Shot By Police 5 Times
WASHINGTON (AP) — The attorney for the family of a Connecticut woman killed by police on Capitol Hill six months ago says her autopsy finds that she was shot multiple times from behind, including a shot to the back of the head.
Attorney Eric Sanders says on his law firm's website that the autopsy found Miriam Carey, 34, was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Carey was shot to death after a car chase that went from the White House to near the U.S. Capitol in October of last year. The report from Sanders said the "Carey family is understandably upset."
Calls to Sanders' office and to the U.S. Capitol Police were not immediately returned.
The National Journal reported about the autopsy Monday night.

Welcome from the President
Greetings fellow alumni! I hope that each of you are well and are enjoying (or reflecting back upon) a very rewarding career in physical therapy. As I continue to grow and develop as a professional, I am continually reminded of and thankful for the solid foundation that we were provided as students at UAB. And now, I am excited to see how we can work together as alumni to ensure that UAB continues to be a great place of learning that we are proud to call our alma mater. I am also excited about opportunities to stay more connected through future alumni events, as well as through this website. Please post any exciting announcements or news that you have to share, such as marriages, births, job promotions, clinical specializations, retirements, etc., so that we can celebrate together the great things that are taking place in our lives. Also, please feel free to contact me directly if you have any ideas or suggestions of how we can better serve our school and one another. My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
Sincerely, Jenny Wilson, PT, DPT


text: We wrap up the Dempsey Challenge. Although I had done stories with Patrick Dempsey in the past, this was the first time I had attended the event. What a great time. It has been really interesting to learn how the Dempsey family turned their personal journey into a community service. The Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope and Healing helps any Mainer who has a family member affected by cancer. It is a wonderful organization. Each year, Patrick comes up for the Dempsey Challenge. It's a walk, run and ride in which participants raise money for the center. The event raises more than a million dollars each year. It's amazing to see how much "star power" Patrick has. Still, he remains a squared away Maine boy and he's fun to be around.

Playwright Tamsin Oglesby talks about hawks, dragonflies and adapting The Mouse and His Child for the stage.
How did the adaptation come about?
The RSC asked me to find something that I would like to adapt for a family show. So that included the whole canon of children's literature - a scary task.
I read Russell Hoban's The Mouse and His Child as a child, but forgot how much I'd loved it till my goddaughter reminded me that I'd given it to her, saying it was one of my favourite books.
I re-read it to my seven-year-old daughter. I was enjoying it all over again, then I looked down and she was asleep. That was a key to me choosing it. I knew why she'd fallen asleep. There was too much talking and philosophising for her to take in. I knew that if she could actually see these creatures who are trying to fight for their lives, she'd get all the comedy, the tragedy and the spirit of it and it would all make sense.
What is the story?
It's about a clockwork mouse and his child who are bought from a toy shop then discarded. They then embark on a journey to return to the toy shop and in the process discover who they are, and the worst and best that humankind is capable of. Because, although it's about clockwork creatures and animals it's fundamentally about the human spirit.
What I think makes it so theatrical is that, very often in books like Alice in Wonderland and Pinnochio, you have a central character whose questions are internalised. This can pose a problem dramatically. What makes this story so brilliant is that it's about a mouse and his child, two halves of the same character in a way, so the questions are externalised and the relationship they go through actually is the story too. We have a constant dialogue going between our protagonists which is a theatrical gift.
How involved are you in the rehearsal process?
I'm in the rehearsal room as much as I want, or am wanted, and there is a properly playful spirit which provokes all of us to invent and strengthen the story all the time. It's a joy.
Are you making many changes to the text in the rehearsal room?
There are some small changes so far – some cuts and some elongations - and I'm sure there'll be more. The story is pretty much intact. Paul Hunter (the director) and I are happy with the stages of the story telling, but discovering things that need pointing up or down or cutting along the way.
How are you finding rehearsals?
I'm really loving it. It is what I imagined, as we had already done two research and development sessions . There is a healthy dialogue about how to do various things - for example, about improvising scenes, the number of shrews you need in an army, how to get a hawk to descend from nowhere, or create a dragonfly from a piece of sackcloth and orange tights, you know the kind of thing! It's magic really.
I think the key to it is that there are only two or possibly three humans in it, and the world is inhabited by clockwork toys and animals so what's really important is how they relate to each other as characters. It is a mouse and his child, but the important thing is that it's a dad and his child. It's about the father child relationship at its core.
What kind of audience are you expecting ?
It's for everyone. It's not in the slightest bit patronising. Someone said, if Beckett had written a children's book – this would have been it. It's really very bracing and it should be frightening at times and it should be very funny too. Those things cross generational barriers.
Have you met Russell Hoban?
I sadly never actually got to meet him before he died. I spoke to him on the phone and he'd only managed to read the first eight pages of the script. It was hard for him because his eyesight was going, but he had some lovely things to say about it up to that point. I asked him if he wanted us to come and read the play to him – and he said yes, but it sadly never happened.
Are you a fan of his work?
Yes. He has a uniquely bracing voice and his vision is extraordinary. Riddley Walker is one of my favourites, a seminal book I read when I was fifteen.
What other work have you done?
I've only done one adaptation before. The last play I had produced was Really Old, Like Forty Five for the National Theatre, and at the moment I have another play called Future Conditional in the pipeline, which the director Matthew Warchus and I are hoping to get on soon. Another play, Ephebiphobia is being premiered in Linz in Austria of all places and I'm currently writing a screenplay.
Do you have any connections with the Midlands?
My daughter was born in Stratford-upon-Avon when my husband Stephen (actor Stephen Boxer) was working for the RSC, so I've lived in and around the town twice so it's been a kind of second home – and, hopefully will be a kind second home!

Michael Buble, Luisana Lopilato Celebrate Third Wedding
Third time's the charm!
Michael Buble and wife Luisana Lopilato said "I do" once again on Friday night in Vancouver, Canada.
PHOTO: Michael and Luisana's second wedding
Buble's rep confirmed to Us Weekly that the newlyweds celebrated their union at Vancouver's Pan Pacific Hotel. Buble, 35, first married Lopilato, 24, in a small civil ceremony in Buenos Aires on March 31. Days later, the couple wed in front of 300 friends and family in their second set of nuptials.
The Canadian crooner's parents, Lewis and Amber Buble, threw Friday night's fete in the family's hometown.
PHOTOS: Over-the-top celebrity weddings
"I wanted the environment to feel like old time Hollywood -- maybe like I imagine a party after the Oscars in the forties," Buble's mom said. "We made the room totally white with white silk walls, which couches, white framed mirrors, white wide screen TV's and little mirrored tables everywhere." The custom-made video screens showed footage from the Buble-Lopilato wedding in Buenos Aires alternated with the Vancouver Canucks hockey game.
Buble welcomed all the guests with a speech on the dance floor and thanked his wife's family who flew in from Argentina. The bride danced the night away with ther brother, sister, parents and the 350 other invited guests.
PHOTOS: Gorgeous celeb wedding pics
The bride wore a beautiful white beaded silk gown created by local Argentinean designer Jorge Ibanez with cream colored shoes by Lonté. Buble was dressed in Hugo Boss.
The Canadian crooner met the Argentine actress at one of his concerts in Buenos Aires in 2008. Buble previously dated actress Emily Blunt, 28, from 2005 to 2008.
