NOTRE DAME, Ind. — As the cold weather settles into South Bend this weekend, the Notre Dame men's and women's cross country teams will travel even further north to Madison, Wis., for the Wisconsin adidas Cross Country Invitational. The University of Wisconsin will host the meet Oct. 19 at the Thomas Zimmer Championship Cross Country Course.
Two weeks out from their own Notre Dame Invitational, both Irish teams are nationally ranked. The women hold the No. 28 spot in the country while the men are at No. 30.
The course will be tread by some of the nation's most elite runner as 20 of the 36 competing men's teams and 17 of the women's 37 teams are nationally ranked. Head men's coach Joe Piane says this kind of competition is fantastic for preparing the Irish for what's ahead.
"The great thing about this meet is that it teaches kids how to run in a meet that's similar to the national championship," Piane explains. "You can run a dual meet and the feel is totally different. Or you can run in the National Catholic Championships and the feel is totally different. Now, our meet kind of simulates that, but this meet is marvelous for it. This is also the site of our region, so this is great practice for that."
Piane adds that getting to the NCAA Championships is determined by the teams you have beaten over the course of your season. This chance to defeat highly ranked teams puts Notre Dame in a good position.
The Irish have sharpened their focus since their sixth- and seventh-place finishes at the Notre Dame Invitational. Head women's coach Tim Connelly says the key to doing well this weekend is a matter of confidence.
"We've trained well," he says. "Hopefully we've become a little more confident. I think that was a problem at the Notre Dame Invitational, we just didn't get out very well and weren't quite confident enough to get up in the race. That's something, in a big field, we have to be able to do. I'd love to see them just go in and put themselves in the race. And see if they can't be in the top eight or the top 10."
Piane agrees that competing well is a matter of knowing how good they are for the Irish runners. While graduate student Jeremy Rae and senior Kelly Curran placed fifth and ninth respectively at the Notre Dame Invite, both coaches know that their younger student-athletes have the talent to get ahead on the course as well.
"I think both genders have realized that they are much better than how they performed and they can see light at the end of the tunnel. And that light isn't an oncoming train-they can see that they'll run well. I think they'll run significantly better in this upcoming weekend," Piane says.
The men's 8K race gets underway at 11 a.m. and the women's 6K event starts at noon. Sixteen women and 10 men will make the trip for the Irish.
Fan can follow the results of the race here at UND.com or on Facebook.

SEATTLE (Spaceflight Inc. PR) -– Spaceflight Inc., the company reinventing the model for launching small satellites into space, announces that it has successfully deployed 11 Planet Labs Dove earth-imaging spacecraft from an International Space Company (ISC) Kosmotras-operated Dnepr launch vehicle.
"SmallSat constellations are a critical, growing piece of the space economy," said Curt Blake, president of Spaceflight. "We are thrilled to expand our launch heritage with Planet Labs and ISC Kosmotras to enable the cost-effective and timely launch of small satellites."
Spaceflight previously deployed Planet Labs' Dove 1 and 2 satellites in April 2013 from an Orbital Sciences' Antares launch vehicle, as well as its Flock 1 constellation from the International Space Station in January 2014 with partner NanoRacks. Spaceflight then arranged for the launch of 11 more Dove spacecraft from the Dnepr vehicle through partner Innovative Solutions in Space (ISIS). The additional 11 CubeSats will complement the existing Planet Labs constellation of 3U imaging spacecraft.
Using its expertise in navigating International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and export law and in the most recent export challenges around shipping ITAR-controlled hardware to Russia, Spaceflight arranged for Planet Labs' U.S. payload to be exported to Russia for launch integration. On June 19, 2014 at 19:11 UTC the Dnepr launch vehicle sprang out of its underground transport and launch canister, and roared through the atmosphere using its RD-264 first-stage engine. All 11 Dove spacecraft were successfully deployed roughly 30 minutes after first-stage ignition.
"We are excited to launch 11 more satellites, bringing the total number of Dove satellites launched to 43," said Mike Safyan, director of launch and regulatory at Planet Labs. "Through our unique approach to satellite design and frequency of launch, the satellites in orbit continue to get better and better."
Spaceflight has launched 47 satellites over a year and a half period, helping grow the burgeoning smallsat industry. Spaceflight's next launch is scheduled for early July 2014 onboard Orbital Sciences' Cygnus Orb-2 mission. For more information on this launch and about Spaceflight's "rideshare" launch services, visit www.spaceflightservices.com.

The circumstances surrounding a disappearance can differ greatly and so too can the role of the police in a missing persons investigation. There could be any number of reasons behind a disappearance which is why you should contact the police straight away if you are at all concerned about the safety and wellbeing of the person who has disappeared.
To do this, you can contact your local police station in person or by phone. You can report to your own local police station even if the missing person lives in another part of the UK. You can make a report to the police immediately – you do NOT have to wait until 24 hours after a disappearance. In an emergency you can contact 999.
Once you have made a report, what the police do will depend on the circumstances of the disappearance and how much they consider the missing person to be at risk. They will assess the level of risk by considering the missing person's age, the circumstances of their disappearance, whether this is out of character, and whether they need medication or treatment.
The advice on this page should help you know what to expect, what questions to ask, and whether/how you should help in the search. If the police assess that the missing person is at risk, they may decide to:
- Search the missing person's home or last known address and the area where the missing person was last seen
- Attempt to make contact with them by phone, if they have a mobile
- Conduct checks on their mobile phone or computer
- Conduct house to house enquiries
- Check local hospital admissions
- Review CCTV footage
- Conduct land and air searches, particularly in high risk cases
- Co-ordinate media coverage and issue a press release to the local media appealing for help from the public.
The police, or the family of a missing person, may contact Missing People to request help with publicising the missing person's picture through our poster and media appeals. In order for the charity to publicise a case, the person has to be reported missing to the police and we will always need to talk to the police to check our involvement is appropriate before launching an appeal.
We have worked with the UK Missing Persons Bureau to develop some guidance on dealing with the police if someone has been reported missing. You can download these guidance sheets below:
When and how do I report someone missing? This guidance sheet outlines the first steps to take when you report someone missing.
What happens after you have reported someone missing? The guidance sheet will help you feel more prepared for the steps the police may take to find a missing person
Checklist for your meeting with the police This document is a handy checklist of questions that you should ask the police when you have reported someone missing.
Making a complaint to the police It's important to be realistic about what the police can do, and consider whether making a formal complaint is appropriate. This sheet gives you information on how to make a complaint if you feel that is the right thing to do.

The Poultry Cooperative Research Centre (Poultry CRC), based at the University of New England, has won the 2012 Education Award of the World's Poultry Science Association.
Professor Mingan Choct (pictured here), the Chief Executive Officer of the Poultry CRC, accepted the award at the 2012 World's Poultry Congress in Brazil this week.
"This is poultry's equivalent of an Olympic gold medal, as it happens once in four years and only one award is given out on education," Professor Choct said. "As a nation accounting for less than one per cent of global poultry production, we are very honoured and proud to receive this award."
In addition, a scholarship award worth more than $10,000, recognising the Poultry CRC's achievements in education, was presented to Professor Choct during the Congress by the Dutch Foundation of Poultry Science.
The Education Program of the Poultry CRC has resulted in a major contribution to poultry-related education and training by targeting university, school, public education, and vocational education and training (VET). It aims to train personnel at all levels, providing vital skills and enthusiasm for the poultry industry – especially here in Australia.
The Poultry CRC's education activities include the development of resources (including online resources) for each sector, the funding of undergraduate and postgraduate students, specialist training and industry internships, production of a teachers' resource kit for Australian schools, and the online poultry-related information portal Poultry Hub (poultryhub.org). Poultry Hub attracts more than 70,000 visitors a month.

What is IntermKeto? Is it Ketogenic diet that has hype over the internet these days, <20g of net carb and excessive fat?
No, this is not a regular ketogenic diet. Although Intermketo diet is based on the fundamentals of ketogenic diet which means no sugar and refine carbs; IntermKeto does not suggest you consume less than 20g of net carb per day. Less than 20g of net carb per day means you can't even consume enough vegetables. Vegetables also have carbohydrates but those are healthy carbs and will not add up in your body as refined carbs does. Intermketo does not suggest you to take excessive fat. Excessive fat will cause health issues in future such as fatty liver. Many have concluded that original Keto diet is not sustainable due to low consumption of carbs (20g) and excessive fat.
IntermKeto can be called an alternative to Keto diet and has its core in balancing the Macronutrients. It is based on low carb, moderate protein, moderate fat, and Intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting (IF) is an eating pattern where you cycle between periods of eating and fasting. The combination of low carb with Intermittent fasting does wonders.

About me
Saadia Azhar
My background is in Chemistry with over 8 years of experience in pharmaceutical industry. I have facilitated many research projects on the effects of various diets on human body. As I experimented these diets over the course of years in clinical laboratory I started to realize that all these diets have Pro and Cons. There is not a single diet out there that doesn't have any negative impact on human body. I took this challenge and started to formulate a unique diet plan which takes core fundamentals of keto diet and intermittent fasting. I named it IntermKeto.
IntermKeto is not a regular ketogenic diet. I do not believe in taking extremely low carb intake <20g net carbs per day nor do I believe in take excessive fat, both will certainly cause health problems which I have witnessed in my research. Side effects were included but not limited to fatty liver and keto rash. I offer my own macros, that are effective in weight loss and safe in long run. After coming up with the healthy macros my next challenge was to over come two main issues that cause weight gain. Lack of motivation and unhealthy eating habits. I was also a victim of unhealthy eating habits. I used to glaze on food all day long, constant eating in small portions was my problem. Due to this unhealthy habit I was suffering from hypertension, weight gain, back pain and fatigue. This helped me understand that its not all about what you are eating, its more about how often you are eating. I took this issue and addressed it in my IntermKeto diet plan, where I challenge my clients to follow healthy eating schedule.
The last but not the least the major issue is lack of motivation, many people start a diet and leave because lack of motivation. I created a motivational program by creating a community, where all the people who are actively trying on this diet is discussing their feelings. I also conduct motivational coaching sessions live to bring the members back on track. I believe that its all in our head, if we are determined to do any thing we are destined to find a way to do it. Human mind is very powerful.
Let's join!

Listen to what my clients say
I have lost 19 pounds in 2 months and a total of 51 inches all over my body. It has been a good 2 months overall and I would encourage all of you to follow the program exactly the way you are told and you will not be disappointed. I wont say that it has been easy because it definitely is not easy to begin, however with support and loads of will power it is very doable.
Hi All, just want to post that I'm a physician and was very critical of the original Keto diet. Saadia's(coach) tweaked version offers more carbs than the original diet. Transition is always better when done slowly. I followed her diet and have lost 8lbs in 4 weeks. What makes her plan unique is the support she provides. She is always there to keep you going and that helps the most! Thank you Saadia!!
I am on my 7th week of this diet. I have been looking for change in my diet for a long time and was not able to do much. Every time I read about Keto or any other diet form out in google, I was skeptical to give it a try. Because mainly the focus was on meat. I am an vegetarian and it was tough for me to even think about these fancy diet plans out on internet. ...The best part about this plan is the group. I feel that I am not alone in it and it motivates me when I am emotionally down. I started with 143 lbs and now I am down by 10lbs and lost several inches. This is not water weight. I have been on some physical activity and lost water weight few months ago and weight was very slow. I feel so much better physically and emotionally. I have not set any goal for my self in terms of weight, but I want to fit into my wedding blouse. If I can do, any body can do.
My Keto journey stared 10 weeks ago & I've lost 14.5lbs! I'm very HAPPY with my self & I certainly feel GOOD & GRATEFUL to have lost the excess weight! Physically & Mentally its a"GREAT FEELING"
Feeling awesome, starting week 10 from today and so far I have lost 17lbs and so many inches... Energy level is amazingly high (I was thirsty n dizzy on the first 24hr IF, honestly) but it's all about making your body used to of this lifestyle, btw this is all done without any exercise 💃🏼💃🏻💃🏼

While we were in Europe, Sri wanted to experience snow – but where the hell can we find snow by the end of June?? Luckily, there was a quick answer to that: Switzerland! Growing up just a bit south of the equator, it's no wonder that Sri never saw snow before, even the peaks of the volcanoes, which top at least 3000m, are just blank.
Since my aunt moved to Switzerland about a decade back, it was a welcoming option to visit our family there while combining it with a trip to the mountains. As we stayed between Lucerne and Zurich, we looked for an option in convenient distance to us and thus, stumbled upon Mount Titlis. The mountain is roughly 40km south of Lucerne, Central Switzerland and reached within 45-60 min driving (in the morning).
Upon arriving (at the bottom) we were happy to find a huge parking place right in front of the entrance to the cable car. As we were not quite sure about the temperature at the top, we decided to wear long pants and light sweatshirts which later turned out being a good choice.
With an entry fee of CHF 89 (about US$ 92) per person it was definitely the day's surprise – not having any comparison though but it was a bit of a shock at first. On the other hand, as the visit to Mount Titlis was a gift for Sri, I didn't really thought about it twice.
In order to reach the summit, you can of course hike all the way up, but more comfortable and faster are the various cable cars around.
So, we made our way towards the cable car and started enjoying the serene beauty of colourful flowers, emerald green lakes and mountain peaks covered in snow. It takes about 45 minutes to reach the top, with a few stops between to change the cable car. The last cable car which took us to the summit is a revolving cable car, speaking we had an awesome 360-degree panoramic view while driving up.
Just as we reached the top, I was welcomed by a moment of dizziness due to the altitude (maybe also because I wore too warm clothes while in the cable cars – lesson learned), but Sri made it surprisingly without issues (too excited).
Of course, the following hours looked pretty much like that: snowball fights, building snowmen, creating snow-angels and …..eating snow! We also tried the snow tubes and sleds (Sri could have spent the whole night here), the Glacier Cave (I tried the tongue-on-the-ice thing – didn't work) which is a 150m long corridor, 20m below the surface of the glacier and the Ice Flyer, a semi-open cable car which offers stunning views over the impressive surrounding mountains and valleys.
Further activities you can do at Mount Titlis during the summer months: hiking the various trails (there are different difficulty levels), climbing and mountain biking, rowing a boat on the lake or walking along Europe's highest suspension bridge.
Some tips:
1. Certainly, Switzerland is one of the world's most expensive places when it comes to food (actually almost everything), therefore make sure to pack some fruits, energy bars, maybe sandwiches and water before you go, will save you really lots of money you can spend elsewhere.
2. Don't wear too warm clothes, it's enough to just wear long pants, a shirt and sweatshirt, ideally hiking boots, but I managed it with sneakers, my feet didn't get wet.
3. Remove your jacket when driving cable cars, you might be welcomed with dizziness at the top.
Mount Titlis facts:
Elevation: 3238m (10.623ft.)
Former Name: Tuttels Berg (Mount Tuttels), according to a document from 1435
First climb: probably 1739
Opening year of the cable car: 1967

Types of Fertilizer for Scuppernongs
Many people mistakenly call all varieties of Muscadine grapes "Scuppernongs." In truth, "Scuppernongs" are only one cultivar in the Muscadine family and bear the distinction of being the first grape discovered by early American explorers. The bronze "Scuppernongs" are hardy to U.S. Department of Agriculture climate zones 8 to 10. With the help of various types of fertilizer, the grapes attain sufficient vigor to develop their distinctive sweet flavor and excellent quality.
High Nitrogen Fertilizer
"Scuppernong" grapes feed heavily on nitrogen during the early growth stage. Therefore, a 10-10-10 nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (NPK) fertilizer or a complete fertilizer with high nitrogen content encourages the best growth and development. Plant the grapes in late April to early May and apply half a pound of fertilizer in a row approximately a foot out from each side of the trunk; or surround each newly planted vine with an 18-inch circle of fertilizer. Double the amount of fertilizer in the second year and use 2 to 4 pounds in March and June of each subsequent year. Never put fertilizer directly into the planting hole. Stop fertilization the first week of July to avoid excess nitrogen that increases the vines' susceptibility to winter cold damage and crown gall.
Tobacco Fertilizer
Some growers have had success using a 6-6-18 tobacco fertilizer as an alternative to the 10-10-10 nitrogen fertilizer. Apply 1/4 pound per vine just after planting. Increase it to 1/2 pound in the second year and 2 to 3 pounds each as the vines mature.
Ammonium Nitrate
For an extra boost of nitrogen, give the "Scuppernong" vines two treatments of 1/8 pound of ammonium nitrate in late May and early June. Repeat the treatment in following years with 1/2 pound every June. Spread the ammonium nitrate in a 6-foot-long band about 12 inches from the base of the vines.
pH and Micronutrients
"Scuppernong" vines thrive best with a soil pH of 5.5 to 6.5. If a soil test shows that the vineyard soil is too acidic or alkaline for grape production, raise the pH with lime or lower it with sulfur. Meet the grape variety's need for high levels of magnesium by spring with an Epsom salt solution around the vines. If the soil is boron-deficient, mix 2 tablespoons of borax with the fertilizer for a 20-by-20-foot area every two to three years. Apply the boron treatment before the vines bloom and be careful not to overdo it as excess boron injures the vines.
What to Avoid
Do not use manure when you plant new Muscadine "Scuppernong" vines. Mulches such as sawdust, cottonseed meal or peat moss interfere with vine growth and can damage or even kill the developing vines. Any mulch that increases nitrogen late in the growing season puts the vines at risk for disease and cold injury.

Academics funded by a sinister triumvirate of global corporations intend to see Wi-Fi-controlled robots in every home, school, and office across the free world.
In a particularly cunning twist, the professors and their shadowy backers intend that this mechanoid fifth column be assembled DIY-style by innocent dupes - perhaps harmless geeks, robotics hobbyists, or schoolchildren.
In a clear sign that autonomous routines running in corporate data centres have seized control from human executives, Google and Microsoft have joined forces to fund outwardly not-mad-at-all boffins at Carnegie Mellon University. The researchers have chosen a Linux-powered brain for their robotic legions, to boot.
This is evidently not a move that irascible Google and Linux-hating Redmond overlord Steve Ballmer would have made were he still genuinely in charge of the software behemoth. Possibly he has already been replaced by a lifelike Wi-Fi-controlled Linux-cored simulacrum, programmed to occasionally fling chairs about and bellow curses.
Intel is reportedly the third major backer of the DIY robot project, in which Carnegie Mellon professor Illah Nourbakhsh's Community Robotics, Education, and Technology Empowerment (CREATE) team have chummed up with Charmed Labs to create what they call the Telepresence Robot Kit, or TeRK.
The core of TeRK is Qwerk, the Linux-driven 200MHz ARM9 brain unit, available from Charmed Labs for just $349. Qwerk can handle video webcam input and has an array of servo controllers, built-in Wi-Fi, and so on. Ordinary USB peripherals can be plugged in too, and the unit features a "built in amp for playing mp3 and wav files".
It also has a "rugged aluminium enclosure", which will help to prevent inconvenient fleshies trying for a disabling brain strike once the machine uprising begins.
Nourbaksh reportedly says he doesn't subscribe "to geeky notions of what robots should be". He apparently favours the sci-fi/horror viewpoint, as he and his team - fresh from their triumph with the Ballmer-bot, no doubt - are now designing a TeRK-Qwerk motorised teddy bear.
Even if the rogue corporate machine-controlled bot horde theory should prove baseless - an unlikely contingency, in El Reg's opinion - there would still seem to be some mildly disturbing possibilities here. Thus far, blackhats seizing control of networked boxes have limited opportunities for causing mayhem in most homes. They can rob people blind, of course, or play sounds, or open and shut optical drives, but opportunities for serious havoc have been restricted to date.
Soon, however, online troublemakers may be able to seize control of the kids' soft toys, sending them lurching about the house playing sinister music with their evil robot eyes glowing redly in the dark. Not a scenario you'd want to come back from the pub to, we submit. ®

Mom's peanut butter cookie recipe is perfect for making these cute little reindeer cookies.
This is such a fun cookie for Christmas and the perfect project for all ages.
The best part is eating them!
Growing up I remember mom going to the shortening can and finding her favorite peanut butter cookie recipe printed on the can.
It was her go-to recipe and is more than 50 years old and I still have this one written on an index card in her handwriting.
She's been gone now since 1999 to the angels.
Traditions are wonderful especially during the holidays and I still love this one and miss us making them together every year since her passing in 1999..
Now I get to make cookies with my precious grandchildren as I did with my kids when they were little.
This sure is a fun holiday project with the kids and they just love making this simple peanut butter cookie dough into Reindeer shapes.
My grandson Antonio is 4 years old and added the nose, ears, and eyes to these.
This is a great project for the kids making memories and he had such a good time, my heart just melted.
I am over the moon that he is learning to be a little sous chef!
Followed Directions Easily
Honestly, besides the peanut butter cookies were crunchy and over the top delicious, they're so easy to form into these adorable reindeer.
Antonio was so articulate on adding the mini chocolate chips for eyes, the cinnamon hots for the nose an then we found that there are mini pretzels out there to do the ears!
He kept getting so excited as he saw his creation come to life in the form of a reindeer.
I can't begin to tell you what a proud grandma I was watching him!
Easy To Decorate
The dough molds perfectly and you can use your imagination to decorate however you like.
We bought the candies, pretzels and mini chocolate chips all at the grocery store.
He really did a fantastic first-time job and only 4 years old!
Every year they come out a little different!
No Right or Wrong Way!
Really this is simple, use whatever you have in the house.
Pretzels can be broken into any shapes so if you have squares, sticks or oval shapes, make it fun and creative.
Love This FaceAntonio was so proud of his decorating abilities and couldn't wait to show his mom and dad what he made.
Of course, trying to keep him from eating them all was a bigger task!
New Traditions
Now with all the festive ideas out there, there seemed to be the perfect way to keep mom's memory alive with the next generation of little cooks!
During the difficult times of the year to keep loved ones in memory that have past, (which for me is Christmas), baking mom's recipes in the kitchen with little ones is the best medicine to keep their memories alive!
It isn't Christmas without these cute little cookie reindeer every year!
The Most Festive Cookie!
Besides making sugar cookie cutouts, these are my favorite and the kids love them.
The cookie is outstanding in taste and looks how cute my reindeer are!
They are easily shaped because this dough is so workable.
It really was a joy making these and hearing everyone say how creative they were.
Don't you just love easy cookies!
Just a few decorating ideas
I used mini chocolate chips, red hots and then mini pretzels for the ears.
Most of the time I have seen the recipe has used frosting to adhere, mine stayed on great so I didn't use it.
But if you want to make sure, make a paste with powdered sugar and water to keep everything glued together.
Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Tips
- This was mom's go-to recipe for peanut butter cookies.
- If you love those flavored cookies, you can make this recipe all year long.
- Just roll into balls, flatten slightly and shape the face oblong style.
- Decorations can be added before or after cooking, I have done this both ways and find the pretzels stay better added before cooked and the eyes and nose better to add after cooking.
- If you have a problem with the ears falling off glue them with powdered sugar and water and allow to dry ( they can fall off when transporting or packing them)
Ingredients Used to Make Reindeer Peanut Butter Cookies
- shortening ( I like the butter flavored)
- peanut butter
- brown sugar
- milk
- vanilla
- egg
- flour
- baking soda
- salt
- Decorations:
- mini chocolate chips
- red hots, red m and m's or chopped cherries
- pretzel sticks or mini pretzels
Antonio Had A Blast
I love Christmas, it's all about making magical memories that last a lifetime.
These cookies certainly did that with my little guy, Antonio.
Cookie art is easy and fun, you can use any kind of candy to decorate these with you like also.
Antonio said he didn't like red hots, so next time I will get some chopped cherries for the nose or M and M's.
- Chopped Maraschino Cherries
- Colored piped frosting for eyes and nose
- pretzel sticks instead of mini pretzels or you can break mini pretzels to look like antlers
- M and M's red
- Any small red candies for the nose
The Cookie Dough
The dough is nice and thick, smooth and fragrant with peanut butter.
It's easy to work with and you really can get creative in shapes.
Don't worry if they aren't all the same, no two reindeer are either!
Mom's Peanut Butter Cookies
The cookie recipe is from the 1960s, the dough is the kind you see that are old fashioned, rolled into balls and criss-cross with fork tines is added.
If you didn't want to decorate these and make them into reindeers, then just use the above method and make old fashioned peanut butter cookies.
She used to add some cocktail peanuts to the dough as well around 1/2 cup.
Just bake this recipe the same way.
Here are some other favorite cookie recipes!
24 kinds of cookies
Cowboy Cookies
Italian Chocolate Fudge Rolls
Reindeer Peanut Butter Cookies Pin for later
Family Projects
If you want the perfect cookie to make memories with your children or grandchildren these are it!
Easy recipe and easy to mold by hand.
I can't begin to tell you his excitement with making something in the kitchen and it's a great learning tool.
He also gets to learn the family recipes of those no longer with us that he never even knew.
I cherish moments like these.
Watch My Video On How To Make Reindeer Peanut Butter Cookies with Antonio

- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 3/4 cups flour

- red hot cinnamon candies for the nose
- optional a mixture of powdered sugar and water to make a thick paste to glue on the nose, ears, and eyes. I didn't use it.
How to cook Reindeer Peanut Butter Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375-degree hot oven
- Cream the shortening, sugar and peanut butter together. Add the milk, egg, vanilla.
- Stir in the flour, baking soda and salt until evenly combined.
- Roll into balls.
- Flatten slightly with the palm of your hand, then pitch the nose to shape and keep the head rounded in a teardrop-shaped dough.
- Note: For Reindeer nose, roll into balls then pinch the bottom to a point, it takes a few tries to get the shape right.
- Add the antler pretzels stick or mini pretzels, mini chips, and red nose candy.
- Again you can place the candy on cookies while still hot but just bake the ears.
- Bake on a parchment-lined cookie sheet for around 8 minutes.

On May 10, the local community flocked to the Sully District Police Station for a candlelight vigil to honor slain Det. Vicky Armel. Last Thursday, May 18, police and residents returned for another such vigil, this time for MPO Michael Garbarino.
CANDLES FLICKERED, songs were sung and speeches were said. But the overriding emotion was a pervasive, all-encompassing, nearly palpable sadness. The family of yet another officer killed in the line of duty saw a cruiser covered with flowers in his honor. And they, his police brothers and sisters and members of the community he served were inconsolable.
Those who knew Garbarino spoke about what a special person he was. And a child's simple, heartfelt message, scrawled in orange marker on purple paper amidst the flowers, said what everyone there was feeling: "I wish you were OK."
Both officers died following a May 8 ambush in the station's back parking lot by an 18-year-old with enough guns and weapons to fire 70 rounds at police there before they could bring him down. Armel, 40, left a husband and two children under 7; Garbarino, 53, is survived by a wife and two daughters, 10 and 14.
Armel died soon after she was shot, but Garbarino — who managed to warn other officers about the shooter after taking five bullets, himself — held on until early Wednesday morning, May 17, before succumbing to his injuries.
And just when it seemed like there couldn't possibly be anymore tears left to shed — because they were all used up, the week before — the community was once again plunged into mourning.
"We feel like we've been kicked in the teeth," said Capt. Susan Culin, the station commander. "We're all heartbroken."
Once more, the building is draped in black bunting and officers are wearing black bands across their badges. The parking lot is again barricaded, and students from the nearby high school covered the barricade with a banner reading, "In our hearts and prayers — Westfield H.S.," and filled it with hundreds of signed, handwritten messages.
Leslie and Dan Jenuleson, who head the Sully Station II Neighborhood Watch, organized both vigils, and Leslie explained why the officers' deaths affected them more than in the average community.
"The support has been overwhelming and there's been such an outpouring of love because Sully has community policing," she said. "The police are in our community all the time — at backyard cookouts and other events, so you really get to know the officers. They're a very close-knit group, and you get to know them as family."
Sarah Brodie and Genevieve Kirk came to last week's vigil because both have husbands who are officers at the Sully District Station and they came to support them, Garbarino's family and all the other officers. "They're being so brave in the face of this," said Brodie. "I know the police have gotten a lot of comfort from the support the community is showing."
Kirk said her husband's "hanging in there. It's been a rough two weeks; it'll take awhile to heal. He actually went back to work, Monday and Tuesday [May 15-16], and we found out about Mike, Wednesday morning. It was everybody's hope and prayer that he'd pull through."
Bette Morris of Annandale came because her son's with the McLean District Station's bike team and worked with Garbarino there before Garbarino transferred to Sully. "Mike mentored our son, as he did with other young officers," she said. "Mike loved his job so much that he shared that love with others. It's been so difficult for the police and their families. It's unbelievable to have to do this again."
Sully Station Officer R.L. Cash knew Garbarino "just over a year." Cash described him as an outgoing, "go-to person" who'd give you the shirt off his back. "He always looked out for everyone else first and thought of himself second — and that's what he did the day of the shooting, as well."
Cash said being at another vigil for another slain officer was surreal. "Losing one was tough; but losing two is overwhelming, at times," he said. "As a station, we've all pulled together, so it makes it easier to deal with. But it brings you back to the reality that, at any moment, this can happen. You know [the danger's] there, but this brings it up to the surface."
Dan Schmidt, Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department spokesman, said the tragedy affects everyone in that department, too. "Each fire and police station have a special bond, and firefighters and police officers work closely together every day," he said. "So we deeply feel this loss, along with the Police Department. We're here tonight to pay our respects and be here for all the police officers."
Nick Graling, a 2004 Westfield High grad, said he and his friend Tyler Wilson, a Stone Middle eighth-grader, just wanted to support Garbarino's family. Said Graling: "We figured, the more people, the better."
Cpl. Steve Cobb, a police officer in Prince George's County, said he came to honor a fellow officer. "We're all a big family," he explained. "We had an officer killed last year, and I remember what a good feeling it was to see all the other departments there [for us]."
Meanwhile, a message scribbled in a notebook in a box of blue ribbons at the foot of the memorial cruiser summed up the feelings of all those attending last week's vigil: "With grateful hearts we thank Officer Garbarino and his family for making the ultimate sacrifice."

Making mini solar panels, which can power devices like cell phones, in your own backyard — that's the aim of Shawn Frayne and Alex Hornstein's new project called the Solar Pocket Factory, which recently successfully raised $77,500 on Kickstarter. The duo's idea is to make a modular machine that people can use to make microsolar panels — the kind used for cell phone chargers — because a big chunk of the cost of making microsolar panels is in the factory assembly of them.
NPR's Science Friday made this fun video of the guys, who look like they're having a lot of fun geeking out over microsolar. Combine a pocket Solar Pocket Factory with a Makerbot 3D printer and you've got yourself a mini industry in your own backyard.
You're probably wondering why a company or person would want one of these solar pocket factories. If you watch the videos below you can see that DIYers could use the machine to make microsolar panels for any type of gadget, and essentially replace the batteries in anything from kids toys, to radios.
Here's a how-to on making a solar powered cell phone charger:

The Company
An Illinois-based, publically traded, golf training and equipment company.
The Challenge
The company had seen a drop off in sales leading into the off season and could not sustain operations. They were nearing foreclosure when Equity Partners was retained.
The Process
Equity Partners quickly generated interest in the company through an extensive marketing process that generated multiple offers of various transaction types.
The Solution
The company filed Chapter 11 and, with multiple offers on the table, the DIP loan was quickly funded. NaturalGolf was able to continue operations through a transaction with Coleman Capital. With the management team, employees, and proper funding in place, they continue operations today.

Makeup Bag: Purple Fashion Magazine's Caroline Gaimari
"I've been living in France for 10 over ten years, working at Purple Fashion magazine for almost nine. I am the fashion director of the magazine and the director of the company. I travel all the time for work, working as a fashion stylist on photo shoots, conducting interviews of celebrities, musicians, and artists for the magazine, working on special projects with fashion brands, and organizing events.
I live between Paris and New York, but I tend to go more for French products. It's not news that French pharmacies are the best place for beauty. Duane Reade already caught on to this and has a whole mini French pharmacy in their Union Square store. I'm not really a person that wears a lot of make up, but I'm definitely a person who likes skincare. My ideal look is long, clean, black lashes and a matte red lip.
Since I am literally always traveling, my skincare bag is a cabinet of curiosities. I really just throw all sorts of new travel-size things to try in there.
My bag is by Cath Kitson and I bought it on a shopping spree in Tokyo. My makeup bag is from the Chanel coco cocoon line.
Bioderma Crealine H20 – A French secret is to never get the skin on your face wet. American women seem to think that lather (lauryl sulfates) equals clean, this is a marketing ploy! Miscellaire solution is a way more gentle, effective way to clean your skin without overdoing it and causing aging damage. But if you're absolutely hooked on washing your face with water, the best thing to use is Avene Cleanance Gel soapless cleanser.
After cleansing with Bioderma, I use Phytomer Eau Marine Alcohol-Free Tonic Lotion to get my skin ready for moisturizers.
I use three serums a day. In the morning, The Radiant Serum by Creme de la Mer for the face and Verso Super Eye Care Serum for the eyes. I discovered this in the gift bag at the Rodebjer show this season. It burns a bit when you put it on but it zaps all the puffiness out of your eyes. If you only do one thing – besides not getting your face wet! – it should be to use a night recovery serum. You wake up with baby skin. I either use Estée Lauder Night Repair Serum or Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Serum.
Ymalia Isotonic Day Cream – I was lucky enough to get this product for a shoot I was doing about winter beauty, and now I am hooked! You basically can't even buy the cream unless you are invited to. It is really rich, and it's the only cream I've found that keeps my face hydrated all day.
La Roche-Posay makes hands-down the best suncare products in the world. Whenever I'm in the sun and the water, I protect my hair with Nuxe Huile Prodigeuse Dry Oil and I use La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Light Sunscreen Lotion Spray on my body.
I went to Japan last year for a shoot with the make up artist Maki Ryoke, and she brought me to one of those beauty mega stores and showed me the best mascaras. The Japanese are all about the eyes (and skin!) so she recommended I get these conditioning black mascaras, that I am now totally addicted to – Little Witch Mote Mascara. They don't give you spidery, thick lashes, but more clean, long lashes.
Another great thing I picked up in Japan were these huge bottles of [Shiseido] Tsubaki shampoo and conditioner. I first used these at an onsen in Hakone, a town with natural sulfur springs about an hour train ride from Tokyo. My dear friend Kazumi, the editor-in-chief of Libertine Dune, the coolest magazine in Japan, taught me all about onsen, the rituals, and the rules. Onsen are Japanese public baths and you go in fully naked. You aren't allowed in if you have any tattoos because, culturally, they are considered to be linked to gangs. You have to shower and scrub first, and then there are several different pools of different temperatures and varying degrees of sulfur and minerals. You leave with super soft skin, shiny hair, and totally clear pores.
Another important part of my beauty routine is the hammam, which I learned about on my frequent trips to Morocco. In a steamy room – the hammam – you get lathered with black soap, which is made from olive oil, and then scrubbed until you just can't take it anymore. You leave with shiny, fresh skin, which is ready to absorb all the nutritive and moisturizing effects of the local argan oil.
Whenever I am in Milan, I always stay at the Armani Hotel, which is right in the center of town, at the end of Montenapoleone, the major fashion street. I always stock up on the Armani shower gel from the bathroom, which smells amazing! It may be embarassing to take the amenities? But I just can't help it there.
Mac Prolongwear Lipcolor in Lasting Lust is the number one beauty product that changed my life and totally changed my look. You can put it on at 6 PM and it won't budge until the morning, no matter what you eat or drink or who you kiss! It's the only long-lasting lipcolor that I've tried that doesn't majorly dry out your lips or start to crack after a few hours. It seems to keep that powdery, matte feel the whole time.
OPI Nail Laquer in The Thrill of Brazil is my favorite red. It's the only color I use, because I just love it so much! Also the OPI RapiDry Top Coat is a miracle-worker."

6 Common Herbs That Can Cure Digestive Problems
Whether you suffer from diarrhea, constipation or other digestive problems, we can understand why you may be seeking a solution. These problems can not only wreak havoc on your body, but they are also so disruptive to your everyday life. Most people are just tired of having to go to the bathroom all the time – or they are exhausted from worrying about whether they will finally "go" after days of constipation. If you do not want to feel this way anymore, here are six common herbs that can help with your digestive problems.
You probably know of cayenne as the pepper that you can add to your food to make it spicy and tasty. But did you know that cayenne also helps with the digestive system in our bodies? The fact that cayenne can deplete the nerve endings of the pain receptor neurotransmitter means that it will assist you if you are suffering from irregular bowel movements.
A carminative herb, caraway is ideal for warming up the digestive tract, while it can also reduce gas. If you end up producing too much gas when you eat certain foods, or when your body is digesting after you had a big meal, adding some caraway into your regular diet may help you out in a big way.
If you are suffering from sluggish digestion, which usually manifests itself as constipation, you may want to consider cinnamon as a natural remedy. It is also helpful if you want to fight against bloating and flatulence, two side effects of constipation. The great thing about cinnamon is that you can add it to the foods or desserts that you are consuming without needing to take it directly in pill or powder form.
CBD Oil
When most people think of the cannabis plant, our mind goes towards marijuana. However, CBD oil also comes from the same plant. The only difference is that CBD is low on THC, but it does have many of the other helpful qualities that you would in marijuana. If you are wondering is CBD oil legal, you can read more about the subject. As for its impact on your digestion, CBD oil will help you become a lot more regular than you are right now. It also helps with appetite and your general well-being.
Widely considered one of the healthiest supplements that you can take – turmeric helps keep the inflammation of your digestive system in order. Curcumin is a major ingredient in turmeric, and it has anti-inflammatory properties. There are other health benefits of turmeric, and it is the type of thing that you can add to your food, or even mix in when you are cooking rice to give it a nice flavor and color.
A bitter digestive herb, the artichoke is great if you want to reduce symptoms such as bloating and gas, or if you are attempting to get rid of indigestion. Again, it is effortless to add artichoke into your diet.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Its the shortest raya celebration at my kampong because my family only spend 2 days 1 night in Ipoh, Perak. The reason is that, my sister in UiTM and my younger sis gonna have exam and SPM. How bout me? I only have projects to be submitted and final presentation aight?
So, here's some short notes of my raya celebration this year..
Its my first time ever, where my baju raya is quite expensive. I don't wanna tell you about the price but what I like about it is that.. the dual tone with specular highlight. As you can seen on the picture, on my arm.. quite cool huh?
Early in the morning, my elder sisters, parents and I went for Solat Sunat EidFitr at Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan Jalan Duta. I sat on the second row in the air-conditioned prayer hall. Lots of muslimin from all over the world also came to pray there such as Indonesian, Bangladeshi (haha.. they are foreign workers of course!) and some Iranians. We also met Jalaludin Hassan there.
We were home and unfortunately on this lovely day, there's water shortage! So my mum couldn't cook nasi himpit and do the washing afterwards. So, we only have Toast'em bread together with rendang. Hmm.. my mum still looking for the 'rendang tok' recipe..
After the forgiving session with my family members, we departed at 1215pm and arrive my grandfather's house at 330pm. I took the wheel from Tanjung Malim and keep driving along the Route 1. Its not highway and that's why I took longer time to arrive. By the way, we can save from the toll. But its good because both highways and federal roads doesnt have any congestion! Its first day of raya.. what are there to expect?
Hmm.. We visited some of our relatives houses.. Nothing to share here. I love my cousins and relatives! As we getting older and having bigger family and commitments, its hard to gather every members of my relatives in one place at one time. So, if only I could turn back time where every one was there and chatting live life happily!
The interesting part is on the way back to KL. We departed around 845pm on second day of raya. After 2 hours of driving, my sister whose driving another car told that she's running out of petrol and the next RnR doesnt have petrol station. Besides that, the crawling along the highway also is not a good news. From my understanding, if the petrol icon started to blink, or the petrol indicator is showing 'E', it means EXTRA. Older cars means EMPTY. So, for this extra, it should last around 50 kilometers. So, fortunately, we manage to arrive Petronas after exit in Rawang. So the lesson here is.. always check your vehicle before a long journey.
I remembered the Toyota Raya advertisement.. Minyak? OK! Angin? OK! Air? OK!

With Deer by Aase Berg, translated by Johannes Göransson
(Black Ocean Press, Boston, New York, Chicago, 2008)
For those familiar with Aase Berg's work, the fact that the cover of the English translation of her first book, With Deer (Hos rådjur, published in Sweden in 1996), centers the title and a pair of black antlers against a saturated hunter orange should resonate as an apt emblem of the zone through which Berg's poetry proliferates. Here is a warning from the very outset: Berg's territory is a dangerous one, a morphologically unsound terrain in which roles and actions contradict, conflate, gestate, and transform. Wear a safety jacket.
Divided into six sections, the book begins with the descent of "In The Guinea Pig Cave," and continues to move through a series of confrontations—ontological, biological, temporal—in "Flesh-Shedding Time," "Seal-Bound," "Organ," "Inside the Deer" and "September Glass." As translated by Johannes Göransson, the language spreads like an unquantifiable contagion, continually readapting to defy the hostile environs of a literal mind that would demand word and image work to merely work towards clarification and reification. "The perverse nature continued to take place," begins "The Snail Ancestry." There is a merciless conditional logic ruling With Deer: inclusion means submission to violent transformations. The processes that effect those changes include everything from mastication to putrefaction and it seems as if one of the governing precepts of With Deer is the constant reversion of the substantial and solid to the spectral and liquid.
To quote out of context of the whole seems a sort dismemberment of the entire bodies of the poems. Many of these pieces are prose poems, a formal choice that contributes to an overriding sense of claustrophobia and circular inevitability. Visually this is communicated by labyrinthine lines without breaks, as well as the interdependent logic of a prosaic sentence which, in Berg and Göransson's hands, accretes into a litany of body parts and burned out habitats. What I am interested in here, however, is the way in which her Berg's poems steadily trade the body as a whole for the body in pieces and back again. This segmentation emerges through the recurrent violence engaged by both syntax and subject. Berg consistently employs prepositions, pronouns, transitive verbs and stock characters to create lyrical or conceptual liaisons between lines that resolve themselves through the logic of grammar and the ideas each part signifies. Despite the gorgeously sustained devastation, With Deer still retains shadows of structural tissue that points to some sort of retention of humanity, if only the ability articulate that devastation, a linguistic heap containing
"contorted bodies" "sludge of afterbirth" "fermented thigh"
"fishes floated up" "harrowed leather body" "slop flesh"
To survey the processes through which this happens is to be caught in a swirl of
"rotting acids" "tar" "marsh gas and diarrheas"
"soul fluid" "magma" "hideous lymph"
"corpse juices" "oil" "syphilis plasma"
For Berg, change is often catalogued as the liquefaction of the rigid architecture of skeletal structures. The relative dissolution of the concrete and easily apprehended is a part of the brutality in Berg's work, a particularly physicalized trauma that finds its poetic representatives in bodies dismembered, bodies disfigured, bodies consumed, bodies disintegrating, and bodies that have entirely disappeared. The poetry is less about the unadulterated image of what has been lost―memory is not reverie here―than about the interminable pain that attends rot and renewal. This is poetry comprised of gangrenous and phantom limbs, containing the sense that all growth involves contamination or that there was something attached once, below the site of amputation.
Berg's precise use of poetic tropes—similes, metaphors, metonymy—does not indicate comparative relationships as much as they function as junctions that merge remarkably disjunctive images, establishing interconnections that abolish the comparative and figurative and replace it with a membranous net:
from "In The Guinea Pig Cave"
There lay the guinea pigs and they waited with blood around their mouths like my sister. There lay the guinea pigs and they smelled bad in the cave. There lay my sister and she swelled and ached and throbbed.
from "Deer Fabric"
The deer fabric is thin. I carry it cautiously as if it were a cloud in my hands. But the heart moans from inside, so loudly, and my lungs squeak.
In Berg's poetry, there are no fixed images or agents to calm the tumult. The figurative does not work to establish an easily discernible system of aesthetic correlations, but, instead, functions as a machine of mutation, almost always indicating a radical shift in the entire reality of the poem. It is an extraordinarily subtle way of unsettling and effacing the concept of subjectivity by vacillating between a. /the formal categories of the figurative and literal and b. / the ideological concepts of subject and object.
The formal challenge of subject and object are less dialectically opposed than they are ambiguous and continually changing points on a continuum. Along those lines, Berg dissolves the lines that delineate human from animal, victim from perpetrator, and the concrete from the imaginary in an atmosphere of unremitting violence.
from "Song Lake"
She lies with her legs bent across the rock at an awkward angle, and something moves, pokes out of her half-opened mouth like a stump of fat, or a tongue or an intestine. It grows longer and slimier and thick as a sturgeon - it is the venomous moray that is pressing out; the venomous moray with its sharp, horrible eyes. It has made a nest in there behind the crown of teeth on the bottom of the skull in the white cave of the cranium.
Berg's work serves as a reminder that all mutations are not the same, that each change demands a corresponding force that often turns the body, mind, or landscape into site of pain or atrocity: "in itches, in nightmares, in agony, in constant aches, in flesh that rubbed against flesh and rotted." The effect is the creation of an entire network of vital linkages just recognizable enough to evoke panic at the inability to exactly discern the every urgent signal. I have the sense of these being warning signs from the real world—the one that lies beneath the husks of order and efficiency in the workaday world—fecund and writhing.

Postoperative hyperglycemia -- with or without reaching the threshold for diabetes -- is an independent predictor of surgical site infections, a retrospective review of medical records showed.
The review, encompassing records for more than 1,500 patients, found that the odds of developing a surgical site infection after general surgery increased steadily as serum glucose levels climbed above 110 mg/dL, according to Ashar Ata, MBBS, MPH, of Albany Medical College in New York, and colleagues.
Patients with postoperative glucose levels of 111 to 140 mg/dL were 3.61 times more likely to develop an infection, and the odds were 12.31 times greater for those with glucose levels higher than 220 mg/dL, Ata and co-authors reported in the September issue of the Archives of Surgery.
Action Points
- Note that postoperative hyperglycemia was not a significant risk factor among those patients undergoing vascular surgery, in contrast to patients undergoing colorectal surgery. This is despite the fact that the prevalence of diabetes would be expected to be higher in the vascular surgery group.
- Point out that the study cannot determine causality. It is possible that infection leads to hyperglycemia as well as the reverse.
"If hyperglycemia is confirmed in future prospective studies with better postoperative glucose data to be an independent risk factor for post-surgical infection in general surgery patients, this would give surgeons a modifiable variable to reduce the incidence of postoperative infection," they wrote.
It has been well established that patients with diabetes have an increased risk of post-surgical and other nosocomial infections. The reason is unclear, but hyperglycemia has been suggested as a causative factor, according to background in the review.
To explore the issue, Ata and colleagues reviewed medical records from 2,090 patients who underwent general and vascular surgery at Albany Medical Center; information on postoperative serum glucose was available for 1,561 patients (74.7%). Half of those glucose measurements were taken within 12 hours of surgery.
The overall rate of surgical site infections was 7.42%, but the infection rate was significantly higher following colorectal surgery (14.11%) and vascular surgery (10.32%) than after noncolorectal general surgery (4.36%). Both comparisons were significant at P<0.001.
In a multivariate analysis, several factors were associated with surgical site infections following general surgery -- increasing age, emergency status, American Society of Anesthesiologists classes P4 and P5 (indicating life-threatening disease or a moribund patient not expected to survive without the operation), operative time, and diabetes.
Associations with all of those factors, however, became nonsignificant after adjustment for postoperative serum glucose levels -- which alone were associated with surgical site infections.
"The disappearance of the effect of all the risk factors on surgical site infections after adjusting for postoperative glucose level suggests that the effect of other risk factors may be exerted via alteration of serum glucose levels," Ata and colleagues wrote.
A subanalysis of patients undergoing colorectal surgery found that the only significant predictor of surgical site infections was a postoperative glucose level of 140 mg/dL or greater (OR 3.2, 95% CI 1.4 to 7.2).
Postoperative hyperglycemia was not, however, a significant risk factor among those patients undergoing vascular surgery.
Although it is possible that hyperglycemia may lead to an increase in surgical site infections, the inverse might also be true, according to the researchers.
"It is also possible that the accumulation of the other well established surgical site infection risk factors lead to hyperglycemia," they commented. "Treating hyperglycemia, therefore, might not necessarily reduce the risk of [infections]."
Indeed, a recent meta-analysis of five randomized controlled trials failed to support strict glycemic control over conventional management to prevent surgical site infections, the authors noted.
Ata and colleagues cited some limitations of their study, including the use of data from a single hospital and the fact that the first postoperative serum glucose value was available within 12 hours of surgery for only 51.3% of the patients.
In an invited critique, Joseph Frankhouse, MD, of the Legacy Health System in Portland, Ore., also noted some limitations of the serum glucose information.
"Much of these data came from the following morning's routine laboratory tests; thus, there is quite a variance as to when glucose monitoring began, how it was performed, and when, or even if, attempts at glycemic control began," he wrote.
"Succeeding work will need to focus on preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative glucose control; techniques for glucose management; and in which patients such efforts are necessary."
The authors reported that they had no conflicts of interest.
Frankhouse reported that he had no conflicts of interest.

SBT on Forbes: Here Are My Negotiating Tips For Women
Negotiating with a future boss can be a daunting task when you are attempting to establish the foundations of a strong working relationship at the same time. This is because the process can bring out the worst in people and even sour a deal in the eleventh hour.
For this reason, a lot of people sell themselves short by not asking for as much as they should during the interview process. However, my partner Marissa Peretz wants to level the playing field in her latest Forbes column. Here are her negotiating tips for women, because we have seen a lot of men, and fewer women, successfully use these methods. Here is an excerpt from her article.
Establish your deal breakers early on
People think negotiation starts when they receive an offer, and that it is something they should keep close to the vest. Marissa starts negotiating when she meets people, and uses an authentic process to build a bridge. This approach requires openness and for both sides to be transparent about their non-negotiables from the beginning. Ask for things that are really important, but be prepared for the no and be ready to walk away. Remember that negotiating is not just about money, it is about role, responsibility, commute time, flexibility, visibility to leadership, and how this shapes a career path.
When negotiating results in a great offer, stop negotiating
98% of the time we recommend that candidates negotiate and ask for more. However, if the employer has given everything the candidate asked for, they should not haggle. Negotiations can really get ugly when a candidate changes the goal posts and keeps asking for more. This causes the company to second guess the candidate's motivations and personality characteristics. We have seen candidates give a salary number, receive an offer with that number, then request a higher number. It never goes over well.

text: [Mea culpa for the delay. BTW, for some time now we see a lively debate going on within these pages between RR readers and Jeff Pelline who constantly posts gratuitous, childish, and just plain ignorant attacks on all who debate and converse here. RR provides this venue as a default in lieu of the sclerotically clogged blog run by the FUE; he doesn't countenance politically incorrect or counter opinions on his turf and keeps it as a one-note trumpet playing for his chorus. This is so because expanding beyond the flinging of ad hominems is beyond his repertoire, which would become very obvious were he to countenance competing ideas. To be frank, I have no problem with anyone debating the sparse idea that now and then escapes from the FUE's blog, but I don't enjoy the clumsy dialogues forced into these comment streams wherein my readers quote him - thereby tainting these pages - before replying to him. I wish such exchanges with Pelline could be carried out somewhere else, e.g. Mr Todd Juvenall's fine blog. Nevertheless, the sandbox will remain the sandbox. gjr]

Skip to 0 minutes and 6 seconds COLLIN HIGGINS: This week, we looked at what employers think about problem solving, why it's important to employability, and reflected on the kind of problem solving competencies you need to have. We also examined some different approaches to problem solving in creating frameworks, strategies, and the importance of asking questions and how to break a problem down. Next week, our focus shifts much more to you and what you're able to show about your problem solving skills. Given how much employers value those who can solve problems, being able to evidence your problem solving skills is essential for your career progression. This is why, at Deakin, we have developed a professional practise credential for problem solving.
Skip to 0 minutes and 46 seconds This is a new way of recognising the skills and knowledge you have developed, not only through formal studies, but also through other learning, work, and experience. In week two, we'll go into greater depth about the international qualifications frameworks our problem solving credential is based on. We'll explore how you can draw on carefully designed criteria to benchmark your own problem-solving expertise. And use this to demonstrate how good you are at addressing problems. We'll do this by drawing on a case study that you can use to not only say you have great problem solving skills, but actually be able to prove it. See you next week.
What's on for next week?
When it comes to employability, it's not enough to simply 'be' a good problem solver; you also need to be able to demonstrate and evidence your capability. In this video, Colin Higgins shares how we'll help you to do this in next week's activities.
Next week we'll be looking at ways to benchmark your problem-solving skills against international qualifications frameworks and Deakin's own Professional Practice criteria.
We'll do this by drawing on a case study to explore how you can use these criteria to gather evidence of your problem-solving expertise and demonstrate your skills to the world.
We'll also explain how you can use this evidence to apply for a Deakin Professional Practice credential, an internationally-recognised credential to recognise the skills and knowledge you've developed through learning, work and life experience.
We'll also let you how you can receive a discount on the cost of a problem-solving credential.
Meanwhile, if you'd like to find out more about how credentials work, drop us a line.
Your task
Watch the video from Colin to find out more about what's on for next week.
In the comments, discuss which activities we have planned for next week that you're most looking forward to.
