How To Learn To Say NO To Yourself
I am reading the book Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend, and I highly recommend it to everyone. We need to establish — and often reestablish — boundaries with others. But what about creating boundaries for ourselves?
What I find interesting is how often we focus on boundaries with others, yet have no boundaries with ourselves. So let's talk about saying "no" to ourselves, and establish boundaries that will have all of us leaping forward along each of our own personal wellness journeys.
"Self-boundaries" are mature limits that create fruitful and healthy relationships with yourself, others, food, exercise, love, etc. There are so many of us who live lives of excess via how we eat, what we share with others, how much we drink, and mismanaged time at work, among other things.
Here's how you can learn to say "NO" to yourself in order to establish some healthy self-boundaries:
1. Identify your boundary problems.
Take an inventory of the destructive results of your inability to set boundaries. Some of these may include anxiety, weight gain, relationship struggles, anger, rage, isolation, or work problems. Once you've taken inventory, write down what you discovered.
2. Get to the root.
Look back to your childhood and examine how you were raised. You may have been raised in a household filled with dramatic reactions, so you now react dramatically to conflict. You may have learned that love means demanding what you want, so you now make unrealistic demands. You may have learned to isolate when you're sad. You may have learned to "cover hurt" with food or excess exercising. You could have observed your parents working endless hours, and as an adult you may have developed the same unhealthy focus on your job versus. family. Whatever it may be, get to the root of the boundary problems you identified in Step #1.
3. Take responsibility.
Own your behavior. Take responsibility for the toxicity you create. While your boundary problems may be learned behaviors, they are in fact your responsibility.
4. Ask, "What do I need?"
So you've identified and gotten to the root of your boundary problems with yourself. You've taken responsibility. Now you need to determine what you need to change in order to create healthy boundaries for yourself. Instead of overeating, do you need to exercise? Instead of working too many hours, do you need to spend an extra hour with your family? Do you need to bite your tongue and practice breathing techniques if you're prone to outbursts? Figure out what will make you feel more balanced and loved, then provide that for yourself.
5. Allow yourself to fail.
We are so darn hard on ourselves, aren't we? We speak so negatively to ourselves if and when we make mistakes. Lighten up. Realize this is a process of self-love, and that boundaries create harmony within yourself.
Boundaries with yourself empower you, ground your feet, create confidence, increase harmony with others and give you a sense of owning your values and morals. Boundaries are essentially living out your truth and sharing with yourself and others who you are.

January 1, 1989, Section 3, Page 9Buy Reprints
Whenever a magazine publisher and editor decide to redesign, they usually do it to keep a step ahead of the competition or to make a distinctive mark. ''One reason to redesign is when the raw materials you are using are old-fashioned,'' said Jan White, a communications design consultant based in Westport, Conn. ''Fashions in typography do change. Presentation techniques evolve. You have to stay abreast.''
Many of the magazines redesigned this past year upgraded to heavier, glossy stock. This supercalendered paper allows a better print quality. Other magazines are reorganizing their contents pages, features and columns to a cleaner, easier-to-read format. Many of the fashion magazines are following a trend started in Europe of having a model in a casual, minimal setting.
Walter Bernard, a designer whose credits include the revamping of Time and Fortune magazines, sees several trends in magazine redesign. ''The magazine business is to be contemporary. Now, black and white is fashionable. Perfect binding is popular, as well as larger widths,'' he said, referring to book-style binding.
Another element of change in a redesign is the typography. ''I see many designers going back to some old faces,'' says Mr. Bernard. ''With the use of a computer, designers have a greater range of typefaces to choose from.'' For example, Mr. Bernard cites Spy magazine's use of tiny type in some instances. ''It's so small, it makes the reader pay attention. It's an ingenious and contemporary choice. It wouldn't work in all magazines, but it works in Spy.''
Publishers and editors often want their magazines redesigned in a way that sets each apart from its competition. For some, it's the choice of colors. ''We deliberately chose colors not being used on other magazines,'' said Anthea Disney, the editor of Self magazine who chose teal and magenta.
Past approaches may again become popular, but in a different form. ''Magazine design is like current fashion. In the 1960's, women wore miniskirts with go-go boots,'' said Mr. Bernard. ''In the 1980's, women are wearing short skirts again but would never wear those boots. When you redesign a magazine, you have to recognize what designs are current and what can be used again.''

No place for dithering - indecision will cost Burton
"Indecision and delays are the parents of failure."
Those words are attributed to George Canning, a long-forgotten British Prime Minister who – in sentiments the direct opposite to those of the infamous Duke of Wellington – called himself "an Irishman born in London". The Londoner with strong Co Derry links did his politicking in the late 18th and early 19th Centuries – but many of his aphorisms seem as fresh as though they were coined in recent weeks.
His comment about the perils of dithering and procrastinating came to mind this week, as four days of to-ing and fro-ing about a potential re-working of government priorities and a cabinet re-shuffle just dragged and dragged.
And walking the corridors of Leinster House, there were frequent comments about the new Tanaiste and Labour leader, Joan Burton, never wanting to decide today what she could decide tomorrow.
These reflections came from senior people in all parties who have observed the Social Protection Minister since she was first elected to the Dail in 1992. Many of those within Labour who expressed this view were not especially hostile to her.
Another of the new Tanaiste's traits, which was in evidence during her three-and-a-half years in Government to date, has been an ability to appear aloof from the centre of it all. Harsher critics would have described her as "half-in and half-out" of this Government.
Often when her party leader, Eamon Gilmore, was struggling, her declarations of support were halting, partial and incomplete. It served her well enough – she is now the Tanaiste and leader of a much diminished Labour.
But she is also now in a very different space. She is second in command in a very battered Government. She is leading a party whose very future existence is questioned.
There are big decisions ahead for Joan Burton and still more unpopular decisions to be made. The buck will stop with her now and she must face the consequences of those decisions.
If she dodges the hard decisions, or delays and effectively makes these decisions by default, she will fail in the exceptionally difficult mission that she has been handed: saving the Irish Labour Party.
She will know that her every decision – or indecision – will be measured from this on.
As Tanaiste and Labour Party leader, trying to have it both ways or putting off crucial decisions could prove politically lethal.

|Worse than candy cigarettes? Sweet-flavored cigars–peach, honey, grape...
- My Dad did not smoke cigarettes, but he did smoke cigars and a pipe. He suffered from dizziness in his last decade of life, had a stroke and died in his 80s.
- His brother died of emphysema that he attributed entirely to the cigarette smoking that he started in the Navy in WWII. He quit at 60 years of age but it was too late. He suffered decades of wheezing and also died in his 80s.
- My nonsmoking mother died at 98.
So when the FDA prohibited candy cigarettes, effective in 2010, I applauded. Let's stop allowing kids to be addicted in stages with cig sweets and then sweet cigs. But the vendors apparently just had to remove the red tip on the candy cigarettes and rename them "candy sticks".
I went to a site on Amazon that still advertised candy cigarettes in 2011 and gave the product a one-star review, calling it a diabolical product because it encourages kids to start smoking. As of today there were 26 posts, mostly complaining that I was a self-appointed candy-cig vigilante. Only three of 101 readers found my review helpful - thanks, you three. But the product did get 17 other one-star reviews for poor quality.
Now, today, we find from Sabrina Tavernise of the New York Times that marketers determined to addict as many kids as possible to tobacco are finding another avenue for creating new (short-) lifetime customers - candy-flavored cigars. So much for all the protests under my Amazon review that the candy cigarettes were just for "nostalgia" or even "an alternative to smoking"! Yeah, sure.
Why should anyone care who gets addicted to cigarettes or cigars? Isn't it good for the economy? Well, doctors and researchers tell me that smoking is about the worst thing one can do to destroy one's health. It reduces the length of one's working life, and the health-care costs of lung cancer etc. are huge. The greatest threat to the balancing of the Federal Budget, the greatest cause of the financial difficulties of many U.S. manufacturing companies, is the cost of health care.
Cigarette addiction has multiple victims – the people who smoke and destroy their health, the families that must cope with the problems of having a sick person in the house, and the corporations and taxpayers who have to pay for the long years of health care before nature sends her Final Signal of her disapproval of the smoking habit.
For many who are addicted it may be too much to give up cigarettes or cigars. But to anyone who complains about the candy-cig police and is happy to see another generation hooked on tobacco, the only words that come to my mind are "invincible ignorance".

Finding the best job is no easy feat; in fact, companies may have considerable great turn - over when it comes to keeping and hiring employees.
But, how do we really find the best job for? Well, I can only think of practical reasons and here is the list:
- Consider your skills and knowledge. Finding a job basically starts from writing your resume and making through interviews. In as much as you want the best job, employers want the best persons too for the job. So, matching your skills with your potential job can be a start. A job which requires skills and experience way out of your league can only add a lot of pressures which can eventually make you unhappy and dissatisfied.
- Consider pay and position. Depending on your skills, your position must be suited for these. And, with this position comes the corresponding compensation. So, if you think that your worth is well paid, then, go for it.
- Consider career growth. In an interview, you are normally asked what are your career directions or plans. You too can ask the career pathing for a given position. So, if you see that you like where your potential position be heading, then, go for the job but if you simply stagnation (which I doubt), then, career path can't be a potential issue.
- Consider working environment. You can ask for the number of turn - over and why employees leave. Possible reason can be unacceptable working environment, culture, and management.

(h/t Deadspin with a full explanation)
Deadspin has an analysis of the NJ Nets' books from 2003 to 2006 with some interesting tax law and business strategy aspects. For instance, NBA teams are allowed to take depreciation on players as well as writing off their salaries. This allows the teams to take a loss on taxes. Then the teams can then take advantage of pass-through to apply their owners' other businesses.
Teams can then use those losses to beg politicians for new stadiums and land deals that they otherwise couldn't get. Case in point, Bruce Ratner, who is building the Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn:
[T]he best explanation for why a buccaneering real estate developer like Ratner might buy a middling franchise like the Nets in the first place. As Neil deMause, co-author of Field of Schemes, explains: "If Ratner had gone to Brooklyn politicians and said, 'Hey, I want to build offices and residential buildings on public land,' they'd have hung up on him. But when he says, 'I'm going to bring professional sports back to Brooklyn,' suddenly here's [Brooklyn Borough President] Marty Markowitz holding press conferences and sobbing about the Dodgers. [Buying the Nets] helped him get a foot in the door with Brooklyn politicians."
An interesting and cynical look at the business of sports.

This pasta is restaurant quality and so satisfying I found myself wanting more, despite being thoroughly full!
Shrimps flavor pasta so well, but I decided a green crunch was needed, and added broccoli as well.
The sauce is as simple as can be: a bit of cream and parmesan cheese, thinned out with some pasta water.
Pasta water is sort of the secret ingredient for pasta sauces: it contains a fair amount of starch from the pasta which will thin out our sauce without making it watery.
No fancy egg yolk sauce here, and just as delicious.
200g fettuccini (uncooked)
250g cooked frozen shrimp
1/2 head broccoli, floretted
2 cloves garlic
1 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup cream
1/4 cup grated parmesan
1/2 tsp salt, pepper
Boil the fettuccini according to packet instructions.
Meanwhile, melt the butter and saute the broccoli florettes and shrimp for about 5 minutes until the shrimps have thawed (or cooked through if fresh) and the broccoli still has a bite to it.
Add the cream and grated parmesan cheese to the shrimp-broccoli mix, and season with salt and pepper.
By now the pasta has cooked, save a quarter cup of the pasta liquid and set aside.
Drain the pasta and add to the mix.
If the consistency is too thick, thin it out with the pasta water.
Serve hot, with extra grated parmesan cheese.
صحة و عافية

It's not easy pumping life into a struggling property just down the road from a newer, larger and flashier cousin. Still, that is the aim of the revitalization going on at Spring Valley Marketplace, a 321,000-square-foot shopping center that has spent the last five years in the shadow of the Palisades Center in West Nyack, just three miles away.
Spring Valley Marketplace opened for business in 1989, and at one time housed national retailers like Staples, Pergament and Bed Bath and Beyond. Some retailers, like Bed Bath and Beyond, eventually moved to Palisades Center, the 1.85-million-square-foot mall owned by the Pyramid Companies of Syracuse, which opened in 1998. Still, when the DLC Management Corporation of Tarrytown, N.Y., bought the older property in July 1999, it was 86 percent occupied, says Adam W. Ifshin, who, with his father, Stephen N. Ifshin, founded the development company in 1991.
The Ifshins currently own and operate 36 shopping centers in 19 states that together account for 7.1 million square feet of space. They are also the largest redevelopers of shopping centers in the Hudson Valley.
Within months of buying Spring Valley Marketplace, Adam Ifshin and his father were scrambling to save it. First, two large tenants, a 12-screen United Artists theater and an Aisle 3 warehouse store, announced they were leaving because of bankruptcy proceedings by their respective parent companies. Then Staples, another large tenant, said that it was moving to a larger building about a mile away. By March 2002, two-thirds of Spring Valley Marketplace was empty.
Today, the center's prospects are brighter than they have been in years, said George O. Darden, the mayor of Spring Valley. The center's two longstanding anchor tenants, a ShopRite supermarket and a T. J. Maxx apparel store, will soon be joined by a 134,000-square-foot Target store, scheduled to open in July. Space at the center is also being carved out for a 50,000-square-foot Christmas Tree Shops housewares store as well as for smaller tenants like David's Bridal, Yankee Candle, Cap Cod Crafters and GameStop, a video game and entertainment software retailer partly owned by Barnes & Noble.
The Ifshins expect the center to be 98 percent leased by mid-August. According to Adam Ifshin, interest is coming from retailers who like the center's easy access to the New York State Thruway and the Garden State Parkway, as well as from others who want to help their customers avoid the traffic that has developed around Palisades Center.
While DLC owns a variety of shopping centers, a longstanding goal at the company has been to acquire underperforming shopping centers in areas where land is scarce but which are heavily populated, like older suburbs. In the Hudson Valley, the company now owns seven centers, including the 280,000-square-foot Mid-Valley Mall in Newburgh, as well as the 57,000-square-foot Mall at 59 in Nanuet. One of its largest current projects in the area is the redevelopment of the 240,000-square-foot Beach Shopping Center in Peekskill.
As part of their strategy to bring shoppers back to Spring Valley Marketplace, the Ifshins say they made a concerted effort to bring in retailers with little, if any, presence in Rockland County. One example is Christmas Tree Shops, a retailer that, with the exception of a store in Albany, has stores only in New England. But Adam Ifshin said that his company also wanted to bring more value-conscious apparel retailers into the area, as well as those selling home goods. ''We really want to expand the tenant mix in Rockland County,'' he said.
Barry Endelson, a founding partner at Aries Deitch & Endelson, a Hartsdale, N.Y., real estate company that leases and manages shopping centers, said that retail spending in Rockland has grown considerably lately, due to the area's increasing affluence, but also because New Jersey retailers in Bergen County are prohibited by law from doing business on Sunday. He expects both the new Target and the Christmas Tree Shops, which has a very loyal following among its customers, to be big draws at Spring Valley Marketplace.
''There are two top retailers anchoring this project,'' he said. ''They are doing the right thing.''

The End of the Season
Team Stimey had a lovely Christmas this year. It was just the five of us and we burrowed into our living room for three days and played with each other and chatted and ate a lot of food and then just when that was too much, Alex made us all go to the park in gale force winds and sub-freezing temperatures where my kids rolled down a hill over and over until they were nauseated.
All in all, a pretty good Christmas weekend.
Then, today we ripped down all the Christmas decorations and threw the tree out into the front yard. (We are the neighbors everyone wishes they had.)
My kids are home from school this week, so I'm sure I'll have some good stories for you soon—and some ponderables, such as "when Jack acts like a crab sidling back and forth with his arms in the air for 20 minutes, would you guess that he is happy or that he is screaming for intervention?"(I ended up falling somewhere in the middle on that one.)
But for now, I'm going to relax, clean my desk, and not think about anything other than the movie Alex is about to put in the DVD player.
See you soon!

Are you uncomfortable with the spaces in life?
The time between events is getting shorter and shorter. We are becoming adrenaline junkies. Normal now means out of breath, out of time, hurry. God did not design us to be dependent on caffeine.
Although Jesus knew He had only 3 years with the disciples, I don't see Him over scheduling. Nowhere in does the Bible say, "Jesus hurried, or Jesus rushed."
There is a rhythm to life; think of the waves coming in and going out. We have forgotten about the importance of waiting.
After lifting weights, muscles need times of rest to reconstruct and grow stronger, the inactivity is as necessary as the exertion. The doctor says, "No heavy lifting for 6 weeks." I get restless, can't feel anything changing, so I ignore the advice. Disaster.
Between the Jesus' resurrection and His ascension, the disciples decide to go fishing. (John 21)
Fishing after what they had been through was recuperative. No crowds, just friends, no learning, just the rocking of the boat gave them comfort. Even the physical nature of fishing served as stress reliever. They had an incredible amount of mental processing to do. I process better outside with nature.
I heard a speaker on happiness say that we are less happy now because we do not take time to anticipate. Doing the research for the purchase, looking at the travel brochures, and buying the school supplies build the pleasure. We knew that, but somewhere, we started becoming impulsive and spoiling ourselves.
The time between the ascension and the arrival of the Holy Spirit would have been hard for me. As my daddy always said, "Let's get this show on the road." I think I would be muttering, "He says to go, and then He says to wait. How long must I wait?" I would have been restless after the first week. God knew the disciples not only needed the Holy Spirit, they also needed 50 days of rest. This was not slothful rest. They were praying; growing in their faith.
Imagine a farmer, he diligently prepares the soil, plants the seeds, waters and fertilizes the crop. After a month, he gets impatient and starts harvesting the stems but receives no produce.
I need to embrace our seasons of waiting. Although they may seem unfruitful; these spaces in life are an important part of our spiritual, physical, and emotional development.

British writer Julie Bindel has released a new video via The Guardian this week that should be seen as ominous foreshadowing for those of us here in the United States.
"Banning people from publicly stating their views does not make those views disappear. […] What it does do is blind us to the existence of the attitude that [the censored person] articulates. Let us hear the arguments put forward by those with whom we disagree so that we can expand our knowledge and show rational resistance. This problem is getting worse and worse. We're in danger of making censorship the standard response to any view which offends."
As with most things leftist, socialist, or just plain bad, the extreme edge is in Europe first. But that awfulness is an export, and the biggest importer remains the United States.
How timely that we saw the hilarious video from Triumph the Insult Comic Dog yesterday. A silly comedy piece, and yet so revealing about what we are teaching our children in colleges and universities across America. And we know what happened with safe spaces and other ridiculous student demands in the last year.
And how timely that last night, Donald Trump won in New Hampshire. Trump is the symbol of anti-PC in this country, for better or for worse, and for many of his supporters that is one of his chief selling points. But while the silver lining of that is that we have a movement of resistance, the dark cloud is the fact that things are so bad already that we have people picking up a Trump banner just to fight back.
Britain tried to ban Trump from their shores. The absurdity is astounding.
I wrote this week about a new short film project that is fighting back against the forces of that insane brand of feminism that views being a male as inherently criminal. This too is a silver lining/dark cloud. Good that we have resistance. Bad that it has gotten this bad.
But it could be worse. Here we have people voting for Trump. In Britain they want him silenced. Here we still have comedians who aren't afraid to challenge the PC police (Though recently, some have been shamefully cowed.). There the fear of offense is a visceral reality.
Britain banned ads featuring hot models because fat people might feel bad.
It is worse there. But it is getting worse here. We should see that video not just as an immediate warning to our friends in the United Kingdom. We should see it as a warning here, too. Walk no farther down this darkened path. It is, as I said, a timely warning. It's already starting.
Do not be blind.

Prototype endo-skeleton grey robosuit first worn by Tony Stark before advancing on to the slick hi-tech aerodynamic red/yellow armoury robosuit. Watch this space for updates. Thank you. This is theSandman reporting .
[ Before there's any fanboy uproar over the suit's decidedly rustic and monotone appearance, however, let's remember that first of all; this is a battle suit. So, of course it's gonna look worn and battered. Second of all, Tony Stark a.k.a Iron Man went through several incarnations before he settled into the cutting-edge, modern-day, red/yellow power suit. The fact that they've taken the time to show a likely abbreviated evolution of the suit means they care at least a little bit about the source material. Either way, the above is one slick looking throwback/homage to Iron Man's original suit. ]

The Daily Examen of Consciousness
Why Pray This Prayer?
By Micky Wolf
Before including the Daily Examen as part of one's prayer, it is helpful to understand some distinguishing aspects of the Examen. This is a brief introduction as there are a number of excellent resources available for an in depth study of this topic.
Foundational to praying the Examen is understanding it as an examen of consciousness rather than an examination of conscience. Examining one's conscious is to open our selves to a review of our attitudes, thoughts and recent actions. Generally speaking, this is a process of allowing God to search our hearts with questions such as: what am I thinking, what have I been doing, or not doing, how have my behaviors reflected my desire to behave as Jesus? The nature of this experience is one of conviction, of having an awareness of the Lord gently and lovingly showing us the ways in which we have fallen short of the mark or have stepped into sinful choices that have been unloving of others, as well as self.
The Examen of Consciousness, although containing this element of conviction and confession, goes beyond the intent of an examination of conscience. This experience of prayer, often entered into near the close of the day, is one which offers the potential for a meaningful awareness of God's presence in, through and with us. Ignatius, inspired by the Spirit in giving us this simple outline, extends an invitation to come fully before God as we are, in the moment – intellectually, physically, emotionally and spiritually. By the prayerful examen of the whole self in this way, we become more fully aware of all that has touched and stirred us, externally and internally, throughout the day.
At first glance the elements of the Examen of Consciousness may appear too simple, however, therein lies the beauty of this prayer experience. This simplicity, when seen as guiding rather than rigidly demanding, opens the doors of the pray-er's heart to a new and more profound sense of God's presence. This self-awareness is very different from self-absorption. It is the significance of this transformational process, through surrendering to becoming more self-aware, that the Daily Examen calls to the fore in the pray-er.
The prospect of becoming more fully self-aware may be unsettling; embarking upon the journey to discover and know the fullness of our humanity as well as beings created in the image of God, flawed and wounded temples of the Holy Spirit, can initially be an almost overwhelming challenge. What are the strengths and gifts God has placed in me? What are the weaknesses and failings of the darker side of my nature? How do I discern the movements of God within me? What are the consolations? The desolations? The movements of the enemy of my human nature? All of these questions and many others may arise within the praying of the Daily Examen of Consciousness. Discovering insight or understanding as related to these questions is a process unique to each person. It is our surrender to grappling with the questions that becomes the 'raw material' each of us encounter and are invited by the Holy Spirit to ponder as we pray the Examen. No two of us will have the same experience – what we will experience is the same loving, merciful, gracious and forgiving God as we join with Him in intimate, authentic prayer.
Through our 'yes' in prayer, God responds in His time and plan with healing, consolation, friendship, correction, encouragement, affirmation, nurturing, direction – ALL that we could ever desire, need or imagine is available from Him. Such an experience will be multifaceted and exceedingly dimensional; it may include great sorrow and weeping, profound joy and delight, and everything in between. You will not be disappointed…nor will you remain the same tomorrow as today.
May your experience of the Daily Examen of Consciousness be a blessing as you seek and discover our loving God, the one who calls you in to be-coming more fully the unique person He has created you to be.
A Method of Prayer of
St. Ignatius of Loyola
[In 15 minutes Move Through 5 Steps]
I am in God's loving gaze, God creating me one moment at a time.
I thank God for graces, favors, gifts received; both my permanent gifts and gifts of this day.
I ask Holy Spirit to enlighten my mind and heart; that Jesus' Spirit will accompany me, refresh and alert me.
I review how I have been living this day, this time, since I last paused to pray with loving attention. I consider well my feelings, my affections, my moods and my inclinations, as well as my actions and inactions.
I prayerfully speak words of reconciliation and resolve.
I end: Our Father…

This is a series I made during my residency at The Toledo Museum of Art for the Toledo Workshop Revisited Residency.
My series was a tribute to the #475 Johns-Manville marble. Originally invented by Dominick Labino to make fiberglass, they melted these marbles in Harvey Littleton's Toledo glass workshops in 1962. It was because of these marbles that they were able to produce some of the first items of studio glass history.

Opinion: The Roberts Abomination
Constitutional attorney David Rivkin and former solicitor general Paul Clement, who represented the states in their suit against ObamaCare, react to Justice John Roberts siding with the court's liberal justices to uphold the individual mandate.

I don't see that the changing as a result of the things I think a well we're going have to leave it that Jerry learned ... and applied BEI legal Center director ... appreciate you being with us even though the news is I shall we say ... not very good at all thanks for being with this ... and he ... and joining me now on set is editorial board member Steve Moore ... on his joining me to talk about his political diary item today ... on the Obamacare attacks in that that political diary item is up on WS J dot com if you wanna read it ... there are several others that we yet we published this afternoon in the wake of the decision Steve and ... I welcome so steep the president said that Obamacare once in a tax ... credit ... the the the the really good this is been one of the big stories of Obamacare is that ... originally were the president ran for president he promised as you recall that no one under two hundred thousand dollars would pay more taxes ... said repeatedly the central theme ... and then when they were not were trying to pass Obamacare of Congress ... that the concert is so this isn't a hex actually and it was a was liberals ... by independent Obamacare centavos taxes up the this is a fine ... idea but then they realize they had a problem when this when this ... court challenge came up ... a lot of liberals realize with that the only way we can get this to cast possible ... possibly task can cost just a monster is to call the tax because the courts give ... broad discretion to Congress when it comes to the taxing power ... and this is a big problem because now the courts of this lead to buying the mandate is attacks ... we found in our analysis that over three quarters of Americans were to pay this tax ... break while less than two hundred thousand its attacks on individuals but they're also regulations on that as Kim sang on small business also Atlanta ... this is just one component of that but but this was that that the part of the bill ... that almost everyone thought was unconstitutional this individual mandate requiring people you would be and anyone watching this to buy health insurance and ... the way the court got around that was present well this is the mandate this tax and ... if Congress wants to levy a tax they can ... Stevie a pizza giving Congress a very very broad powers to the ... I think this is the carried interest costs and I know some concerns are trying to ... find any idea how to put some lipstick on this pic ... I'm not so sure they're there isn't a silver lining here I mean this is basically saying for doubtful ... if let say that that Congress wanna pass a law saying that that we have the broccoli you know for good health ... I miss it but you know we're not to require you to do is require to pay a penalty of ten dollars we could be don't be your broccoli ... under the ... logic that the majority in the court used that would be constitutional ... and that's that's actually my car keys I said that the point is that ... the that that the Commerce clause is supposed to protect us against ... Congress regulating ... non interstate commerce but of course the way to go up in tax than they can regulate virtually anything they want to let let's talk about the politics here because the president can now and has said repeatedly actually did this is not a tax ... on he made some remarks today in in in the wake of the decision ... by the hot seat plane is going for his b perch well it's embarrassing to the White House and the Republicans and Fox News and others are better on those tapes of them sang on the can to raise taxes but you know what I think they're so they can get the lighthouse nonetheless because ... this was what Obama has called a secure Chief signature achievement ... they fall in a way for the Supreme Court to uphold that so ... I think that that they're probably very happy with this decision even though it has ... contradicted one of the main promises that Obama may well in the US is some complications to confirm the Romney does not think the author ... of this individual mandate when he was governor of Massachusetts he came out with a statement today and said I'm in a repeal ... on the first day in office ... it's bad for America in the studio is not pretty well Senator Warner ... and that he is not the spokesperson for the Republicans on out there because ... he was one of the research today and traumatic but the look on the political connection to you I think ... that one of the effects of this decision because so many people been our rage by and I'm surprised in the first twelve hours hell are rich people are ... I think this could galvanize opposition to Obamacare ... basically with the chorus and the like Islam in a veteran of the Congress you have to run the president to repeal and and that now was the only way out if you wanna get rid of Obamacare ... to get the Congress to pass a law were feeling and I think this will now be a central message ... in the Republican campaigns in two thousand ... will countenance the tea party and I may Romney is the ideal yet ... OK well the essence of mind that the the the the silver lining of the ... editorial board member Steve Moore thank you so much for being with us ... I can accept the solicitor general pop when you are good for the plaintiffs in front of the core ... joins us with his thoughts ... stay tuned ... welcome back to Opinion Journal Live ... I'm joined now by a special guest former solicitor General Paul Clement ... who argued for the plaintiffs in the Obamacare case Paul ... welcome ... thanks ... here ... thanks and thanks for taking the time ... and on your arguably one of the best people in the world to talk about the legal arguments at play here ... in your opinion is today's ruling ... based on a strict reading of the Constitution or was this a political decision by the court's majority ... we're looking at it that somebody ... who is it that I and and Tito Ortiz the case the way that I did ... it it is our youth and it did the fish and that that come your way and try to get that that that that that that that ... I've ... tried to spend time with the patient today it's what what strikes me the remarkable about that the fish and you ... know I can't think of the case of a market ... where I've just that that that that is more of the argument that made ... until the death coming out ... of the opposite way ... and yet oh absolutely and call to talk to me a little bit about this decision the court made to say you know what ... aam and is actually a tax ... what does that mean in terms of legal precedent when doesn't allow Congress to do in the future ... when you know it's interesting because you know it it does make them like the lawyer turned the clock in at the station but in a weird way ...

No time
I have no time. I never seem to have any time. Even when I'm on Twitter and Facebook I need a lot of time to figure out what I need to ignore so that I can save time. I didn't notice this irony until today morning. To avoid the usual morning mad rush, I mapped out my day over thirty minutes. Tyke woke up at that time and beckoned me to a conference on dinosaur eating habits which I turned down.
"Not now, I don't have time", I barked.
"Okay" he went away chastened. Not for long though. He was back with a proposal to examine the lethal abilities of the T Rex. I happened to be preparing his breakfast at the time. Of course, there was no time.
This cycle went on and my irritation grew with each attempt. At 8.40 as I shepherded him to the door he stopped for an infuriating three seconds and said "look! my shoes are wrong!" He meant he'd worn the wrong shoe on the wrong foot.
"It still fits, but it's funny! I look like a duck!" He did a little chaplinesque waddle around the room. I exploded. "We're getting LATE!"
He followed me to the car, trying very hard to keep quiet. "Dad look there are insects on your car! Which insects are they?"
"I don't know dude. Just sit quickly and let me strap you into the seat."
I dropped him to school and then cursed five drivers on my way to work because unfortunately, they were observing the speed limit. Picking up coffee was horrible. I know the drive-thru has a timer next to the serving window and I kept asking no one in particular if they couldn't see I'd been waiting for more than 180 seconds (after which that timer starts flashing red)? (I ignored a small voice that went "seriously dude? over COFFEE?!) Then I got into office and cursed the access card machine for taking a couple of seconds longer than I expected to beep me in. I settled into my cube and caught up with requests from clients who needed all that work yesterday because their bosses needed it the day before and we're all so frightfully late.
We're always late. Nothing at work ever makes it to anyone with a second to spare. Ninety percent of the workday is a melee of excuses and contingency plans. And then the devices. I channel all information through a screen. Phone, inside the car, on the laptop at the office, a tablet in someone's hand. Still unable to work more efficiently because evolution hasn't caught up with us yet. It hasn't provided eyes on top of our head so we may walk unfettered as we stare into our screens, drinking in the world's minutiae.
The glass isn't on the ceiling. It's in front of our eyes.
This feeling of having no time is called "time scarcity" and is due to greater comparmentalization of work and personal life, rising consumerism, more automation and ironically, greater collaboration in our lives. If coffee takes five minutes less to prepare than it did ten years ago, how would you like to use those five minutes? It doesn't matter because in someone else's frame of reference, those five minutes are already seven too many.
I'm not one of those doom criers lamenting the lack of human contact. I get enough human contact in the day but not the quality I'd like. I met an interesting client a couple days ago who sat across me at lunch and said "fuck people who expect you to conduct business over the phone, email or chat. How can I get anyone to listen to me if they don't know who I am?" Initally I misinterpret that sentence as an attempt at asserting authority but what he meant was to really get to know someone as a person and not as a co-worker. He was true to his word and never brought up work during that meal.
The rabid pace of work forces us to ensure our leisure is equally rabid. No we MUST load ourselves into two suitcases and a plane and MAKE SURE we get to the beach in under SIX HOURS because we only have TWO DAYS to ENJOY. Then we get to the beach and hungrily look to anything that remotely resembles a good time and angrily participate before the sun sets and we lose out on those happy hour deals. FUCK OFF ASSHOLE CAN'T YOU SEE I'M HAVING A GOOD TIME?
I LOVE planning vacations based on what the destination has to offer but ever so often we end up planning it based on what we have to offer the destination. Limited time. I hate this.What can I do except lament? The time we never have is an integral part of our livelihood. No matter what the Eagles croon, love alone won't keep us alive. You need grub and gratification too.
On the other hand, there's family. Human contact with no strings attached and no agenda. So now I make time to just talk with my wife when we return from work. Just talk. Our conversations won't save lives or lead to a cure for cancer but I do feel my work battered soul take a few hesitant steps back into me.
I've also decided to stop being a parent with my son when he wants to share his time with me. "Parent" is a job description with "always be a judgmental asshole" one of the key requisites. There's always this urge to "educate" your child when he's just having fun. I got back from work today and had a conversation with him about dinosaurs. I let him share his interpretation of their lives and death at the hands of a "bad" meteor. I participated with questions that sought to better understand or embellish his world of jurassic monsters. He seemed satisfied by the fact that I hadn't shooed him away,
hijacked the discussion with painful attempts at being factually accurate or made it clear that I had better things to do. I just let him be a child without rushing him to be an adult.
The best part, I don't know how long we were hanging out with each other. Suddenly, there was time.

Make an inventory of all supplies, their specifications and the suppliers
In this phase the Inventory Control System will be established. The first step is formulating the specifications of, and determining the number of supplies in stock.
In the right-hand column general information on purchasing and inventory is provided from the WHO Laboratory Quality Management System handbook.
List all the supplies in the laboratory, determine which of those must always be in stock, and formulate their standard specifications. The standard specifications are requirements you have to formulate with regard to the characteristics you want the supplies to comply with. For example: a specification of the purity of a certain reagent, a specification of the minimum time to expiry, etc.
The procedure below is for manual development of an inventory control register. However, for TB laboratories the TB CAP Laboratory Toolbox contains Excel-based registers that can be used for inventory control. These files already contain lists of supplies needed by TB laboratories. The toolbox also supplies Word documents that describe how the Excel files work.
How & who
Stock Officer:
- Make a list of supplies currently in stock. Do this using the Stock Cards.
- Determine whether there are any supplies missing from this list.
- Determine critical amounts for each supply (i.e. the number of items of each supply by which a new order needs to be made; take into account the time it usually takes from ordering to delivery when calculating this).
- Determine maximum stock amount of each supply based on use. Setting limits to the size of orders can help to prevent expiry of items.
- Formulate the standard specifications of all supplies. These specifications are necessary for checking new deliveries when they arrive at the laboratory before placing them in the stock. You also need them for placing new orders to be sure that you order the correct product.
- List for each item the supplier details of the supplier normally used to order the supply.
- The list you have now made will be used to set-up an inventory control system in the next activities.
