Before you can buy the best baby swing, you have to base yourself on where you wish to use it, for example if you will keep it in one place or if you will have to move it from one place to another. The full sized baby swings have been designed to be used indoors and from the birth to the time that the baby is 25 to 30 pounds and this will depend on the model. There are many varieties depending on the toy bars, music and speeds. The portable travel swings are good for the parents who are moving around. They do sit low at the ground and they have been designed to move from a room to another room or to be stowed within the car. They are handy if you want to visit the relatives and if you want a small swing that may be easy to be carried out in the house. They are hybrid swings at the market.
While looking for the swing, check for the features which are able to keep the baby comfortable at the same time safe. If you are willing to get a full-sized swing, you should check the one that has strong stances and posts and which is wide enough so that it will not tip off even when the baby leans at its side. It has also to be foldable for easy storage.
For the five points harness, the full sized swings need to come with a fixed restraint system. There are some models that feature over the shoulder five point harnesses. It is the best harness since it can keep the baby against climbing out of a seat and to be plunged at the ground and this is something that will happen faster than anyone can think about. The travel swing may not have the tray with the middle posts with just the harness. There are some three point harnesses, however, the five point is better. The three point harness may be a crotch and a waist belt that works together which means that the babies will not be able to slip out.
The best baby swing has to offer easy access. The full sized and the portable swings can be found at the market without its top crossbar and it is called open-top design. It is the design which is easy to use since it does not have any top crossbar that can interfere when it comes to getting the baby out or in. You may have the access to the baby from its top and you do not have to crouch down in order to wiggle the baby out of it.
The seat cover should be plush padding and it has to be machine washable. It should have the head supports for the infants and it has to be removed if the baby gets older. By the plush, it means that the padding has to be covered with nice at the same time soft material. The padding does not have to be too soft since the baby can sink into it while the squishy padding may become a suffocation hazard.

Less than a fortnight into the project, and already we are forced into a painful confession. Several key thinkers in our party of nine, secluded here in the desert hideaway, are wishing out loud that we'd never agreed to selectively scrutinize, analyze, and synthesize the news for a backwater dot com in the Bozath. What a wretched orb, the planet opposite the hidden X, when seen through the lenses of transformative event, downwardly spiraling trend, and conniving leading personality . . . the only lenses they gave us.
Blame is a recurring theme: fixing it, accepting it, denying it. If it were a game, then playing the blame game would be a cavalcade of infinite consecutive exercises in political spin and propaganda, in which the obvious is often ignored in favour of predetermined agendas, and ancient lies are floated as temporal truths, and half measures avail us nothing but aimless diversion or fruitless exasperation.
So, we begin our week in review by peering through the clearing smoke of mayhem's fires in Nigeria. There last week, Islam's willing minions, provoked by the cynical clerics of Allah, raised a riot that left about two hundred dead and a thousand more in hospital. By contemporary black African standards, a couple hundred dead in an episode of communal rage is nothing extraordinary. The Nigerian riots, however, featured an extraordinary supply of the right stuff for media frenzy: churches in flames, gorgeous beauty queens strolling fashionably through safe-house hotel lobbies or peering poignantly through closed windows of the secular cloister, angry young men rampaging through the streets, bodies strewn in ditches, white-robbed champions of Allah condemning the West for sins of the flesh.
To recap in a blur: Miss World came to Nigeria to stage its Pageant, several comely contestants withdrew to protest the death-by-stoning sentence pronounced by Islamic courts upon a Nigerian woman convicted of bearing a baby out of wedlock, a cadre of righteous Muslim rabble rousers denounced the pageant in ominous tones, a Nigerian newspaper writer chided Islam and opined that the Prophet Mohammed — were he in attendance — might be so thoroughly charmed by the Miss World beauties that he would be tempted to make one his wife — and bang! appalled Muslim clerics in defense of the godhead set hell loose upon earth, incited their troops to burn the newspaper office, which roused blood lust, and then churches were torched, a mad attack on all Christians was unleashed, the Christians fought back and burned mosques, apolitical and nonreligious thugs joined the fray to loot businesses and run amok, and by week's end the beauty queens were on jets bound for London, the hundreds lay dead, and the blame game had begun.
Blamed first by Islam and then by reactionary post-riot pundits from the West (including the usual band of opportunistic feminist hags), officials of Miss World countered by blaming the media. Miss World, you were foolish, insensitive and naďve to have brought the pageant to such a tender place. Miss World, you are antediluvian. Media, you incendiary bastards, you transformed our pageant into a "political football." Nigerian President O. Obasanjo echoed the complaint, blaming "irresponsible journalism," especially the newspaper writer who supposed that the Prophet might be attracted to a beauty queen.
No one directly involved or prominently quoted was bold enough to blame the rioters. No one blamed Islam for its lethal insecurity, or Islam's clerics for their irresponsible leadership, or Muslim hypersensitivity for the quick trigger. Intolerance as practiced by Islam today unveils a religious system raised on spatial illusions, unable to inspire its uneasy adherents through spiritual power, but eager to whip and subdue. One would think the Prophet Mohammed possesses more than sufficient mojo to maintain easy immunity from a news hack's glib commentary. One would expect the Koran to inspire more than the fatwa of death, more than shrill condemnation, more than 200 dead in the smoking ruins of churches and mosques in Nigeria.
We're unfair to Islam, of course — but then again, how can any infidel comment on Islam and be fair? We are at war, we citizens of the USA, at holy war with the evil ones . . . and who's your daddy, who's your enemy today?
In Washington on Monday, President Bush with collegial ceremony signed the Homeland Security Act of 2002. Now the formal dismantling of individual civil liberty can begin in the sacred name of national security. You might as well chant as an echo "in the name of God the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost" 'cause it's gonna be done with that kind of fervor and just authority.
The President said: "The new department will analyze threats, will guard our borders and airports, protect our critical infrastructure and coordinate the response of our nation to future emergencies. The Department of Homeland Security will focus the full resources of the American government on the safety of the American people.
"The continuing threat of terrorism, the threat of mass murder on our own soil, will be met with a unified, effective response. Dozens of agencies charged with homeland security will now be located within one Cabinet department, with a mandate and legal authority to protect our people. America will be better able to respond to any future attacks, to reduce our vulnerability and, most important, prevent the terrorists from taking innocent American lives."
First in line to be merged will be the Secret Service, Coast Guard, Customs Service, Immigration and Naturalization Service, Transportation Safety Administration, and police agents of the General Service Administration. Deadline for the first consolidation of internal security power is informally set for March 1, 2003.
Reports of a spacewalk by USA astronauts reminded us of Space Shuttle Endeavour's mission of construction and crew change at the International Space Station. Any time a space shuttle is aloft, the allure and promise of exploration and adventure are seldom distant from our contemplation of current events.
Henry Kissinger, relic of the Nixon Administration and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, was appointed by President Bush to chair a commission, "bipartisan and independent," charged with investigating Nine Eleven. Five each of Republicans and Democrats were appointed to the commission, whose august members are not supposed to become witch hunters but rather sleuths, whose inquiry will identify mistakes that can be woven into lessons to help prevent similar attacks. "This commission is not only important for this administration; this commission will be important for future administrations, until the world is secure from the evildoers that hate what we stand for," the President said. "I hope that the commission will act quickly and issue its report prior to the 18-month deadline embodied in the legislation. After all, if there are changes that need to be made, we need to know them as soon a possible, for the security of our country."
In Canada, the director of communications for Prime Minister Jean Chretien resigned just a few days after her motor mouth got the best of her bad intentions. Last week during the North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit in the Czech Republic, Francoise Ducros was overheard talking trash about President Bush, saying "What a moron" when asked about the President's hard push to rally USA's NATO allies behind the coming war with Iraq. She figured NATO should be more concerned about its expansion into Romania, Bulgaria, and other points east. Prime Minister Chretien remained unapologetic to President Bush, but did say, "I am sorry, she was very good," when asked about the loss of his long-time media advisor.
Thanksgiving, USA's feast day, provided the occasion for Palestinian political theatre of the deadliest sort. Three weak-minded Arab suicide bombers struck a hotel in Kenya, murdering three Israeli guests and nine Kenyan employees. Israelis own the hotel on the pleasure coast of the Indian Ocean in a region populated by Muslims. Almost simultaneously, a Boeing 757 with 271 passengers and crew dodged two missiles just minutes after lifting off the tarmac at Kenya's Mombasa airport. The Israeli-owned jet was bound for Tel Aviv.
When the rockets missed their mark, sober observers here in the desert figured the attack had lost its symbolic value and would fall upon inattentive ears. A jetliner exploding in mid-air from the impact of a shoulder-fired rocket would have created sufficient horror to capture USA's full attention; a few dead here and there from suicide bombers or automatic-rifle ambushes is little more than another bump on the daily path through death, destruction, and mayhem as presented 24/7 by USA news media.
The fear mongers surprised us. Quick to sound the latest alarm, the television hacks by nightfall had begun to project more attacks, most likely closer to home. "How worried are you about this shoulder-fired missile business?" a popular Fox News hound asked. "There's thousands of these things all over the globe. How am I sure I'm getting to grandma's for Christmas and I'm gonna be safe?" Yes, he did say it. We simply cannot make it up any better.
Some analysts suggested the Israeli passenger jet dodged tragedy over Mombasa by employing "secret on-board defenses, not pure luck." The incoming heat-seeking missiles were diverted from their intended target by decoy flares, a Reuters journalist speculated. Israel Borovich, CEO of Arkia Airlines, owner of the jet, said: "Our procedure is to look at the worst possible scenario, and the way we acted was according to Israeli security instructions. Israeli evasive security is the best in the world." The jet has an intriguing history. It is one of two Boeing 757-300s owned by Arkia. One of the two was designated "Israel Air Force One" when it flew Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to Washington for a state visit last spring.
The death toll rose to 16 after the rubble of the hotel was thoroughly searched for bodies. Meanwhile, USA reporters were struggling with new and better ways to describe the suicide bombers. The Associated Press referred to them "homicide bombers." A CNN babe called them "Palestinian rejectionists."
On Saturday, spacewalkers in earth orbit completed their installation of girders and radiator clamps at the International Space Station, while down-below station, the planet's most famous hamburger vendor, McDonald's, was closing shop in Bolivia.
We wanted to make much about McDonald's departure from Bolivia, using the corporate giant's exit from one of the planet's poorer nations as a pivot point for analysis of world economies and cultural imperialism. Like we did last week, however, we ran outta steam in the time allotted to us — an energy drain caused by too much of the world being with us, and too little personal discipline being dutifully mustered for the mission. We are not yet honed to the task, although we pledge to get there. We haffta admit that fulfilled pledges aren't a strong suit here in the desert enclave, but all the same, we remain hopeful, like a dog at the door, like a thing with feathers, forever believing in the promise of change.

Japan's PM Shinzo Abe pays a visit to Pearl Harbour
Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has visited the memorial honouring US sailors and marines killed in the attack on Pearl Harbour.
The USS Arizona Memorial was closed to the public yesterday when Mr Abe visited the historic site, joined by US president Barack Obama, who is on holiday in Hawaii with his family.
Mr Abe laid wreaths at cemeteries and memorials on Monday ahead of the landmark visit to the site of the 1941 bombing by Japan that plunged the United States into the Second World War.
Mr Abe did not apologise for Japan's attack.
Chief cabinet secretary Yoshihide Suga said "the purpose of the upcoming visit is to pay respects for the war dead and not to offer an apology".
The visit comes six months after Mr Obama became the first sitting American president to visit Hiroshima for victims of the US atomic bombing of that city.

The humiliating incident was captured on film by a camera crew documenting the birth of Jordan's third child Princess Tiaamii, and viewers saw the glamour model putting nanny Rebecca Gauld's possessions into a bin bag on the ITV2 show The Baby Diaries. Rebecca, 25, was fired from her £250-a-week job in a row over time off on holiday and lost her accommodation, a cottage she lived in attached to the millionaire model's luxury mansion in Oxley, Surrey. According to The Sun, Rebecca told an employment tribunal: "I was very distressed by the events of the day - having lost my job and my home.

Exhibit I: The Killing of John Lennon
In the darkness of a cold December night, the assassin waited for his prey to return home. He watched in silence as the limousine dropped off the celebrity couple in front of their exclusive apartment building. As the couple approached, the killer drew his weapon, and at the opportune moment, he fired five shots. Four of his shots struck his victim who slumped to the ground and succumbed to his mortal wounds. The killer paced about nervously — then extracted a book from his back pocket and read seemingly dissociated from the murder he had just committed.
The murder of John Lennon in front of the Dakota Apartments by obscure killer Mark David Chapman shocked the world. During the years preceding Lennon's death, Chapman had become obsessed with the book The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. Chapman found refuge and affirmation in protagonist Holden Caulfield's unceasing attacks on the hypocrisy of the world. Chapman was an under-performer and had already racked up a number of failed suicide attempts. He was a wanderer throughout his early years and settled for a time in Hawaii, where he worked as a security guard.
He initially focused on several possible targets including Johnny Carson, Jackie Onassis Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor and George C. Scott, but ultimately focused on John Lennon. It was to some degree a practical decision in that Chapman believed that Lennon would be the easiest of the celebrities to locate and gain access to. Plus, Chapman was enraged by what he saw as Lennon's hypocrisy, advocating for the poor, while enjoying the privileged lifestyle of the wealthy and famous. Chapman never forgot that early in his career, Lennon had been heavily criticized for making the claim that he and his fellow Beatles were more popular than Jesus. This was more ammunition and Chapman felt Lennon's life was in conflict with the humble teachings of the Saviour.
Chapman was perhaps conflicted over his own hypocrisy. He had stood in front of the Dakota with the album Double Fantasy in hand and Lennon had been gracious enough to autograph the album and shake hands with his future killer. Who asks for an autograph and shakes hands with their intended target? In a sense, Chapman conducted his own autograph session when he signed the inside cover of his well-thumbed copy of The Catcher in the Rye, "This is my statement."
Chapman told his parole board in 2010 that his initial target list was selected because, "They are famous; that was it," and he thought that by killing them he would achieve "instant notoriety, fame." "It wasn't about them, necessarily," Chapman said. "It was just about me; it was all about me at that time." This reiterates the mindset of many mass murderers, whose primary motivation is achieving personal fame. Chapman stated, "I'm sure the big part of me is Holden Caulfield, who is the main person in the book. The small part of me must be the Devil."
The Catcher in the Rye was published in 1951. It describes the adventures of Holden Caulfield, a 16-year-old anti-hero who has been expelled from yet another elite preparatory school. Caulfield railed endlessly against the "phonies" of the world. The reclusive author, J.D. Salinger, provided a rare interview to Shirlie Blaney of Windsor High School in Cornish, NH, in which he told Blaney that the novel had an autobiographical aspect. Salinger stated, "My boyhood was very much the same as that of the boy in the book. It was a great relief telling people about it." The catharsis that Salinger experienced from writing the novel resonated and continues to resonate with many of the disaffected and abandoned in society.
Exhibit II: The Killing of Actress Rebecca Schaeffer
Actress Rebecca Schaeffer made a name for herself appearing in the television series, My Sister Sam, which premiered in 1986. In 1989, she was stalked and killed by Robert Bardo, an obsessed fan. Bardo, like many others, was infatuated with her beauty and eagerly mailed her a fan letter. He received back a glossy 8"x10" stock studio photo, which he perceived to be an affirmation of his love. A simple gesture like this photo caused him to completely misinterpret the reality of the situation and set him off on flights of fancy. Bardo traveled to Hollywood on at least three occasions and visited the studio, where he was rebuffed by security.
Temporarily deterred by his inability to get close to Schaeffer, he began to focus his attention on other female celebrities including Tiffany and Madonna. Prior to that, he had focused his attention on Samantha Smith, who had garnered worldwide celebrity status based on her letter writing campaign with Russian Premier Mikhail Gorbachev. Smith was killed in a plane crash in 1985 and Rebecca Schaeffer filled the void when My Sister Sam came on the air in 1986.
Robert Bardo was one of seven children who was raised in what is best described as a dysfunctional environment. He struggled with mental illness and was seen by a psychiatrist, but discontinued treatment. His neighbors viewed him as emotionally unstable; he would often become enraged, and he was described by one neighbor as a "psycho." It is reported that Bardo threatened to get his .357 magnum and shoot another neighbor.
From all accounts, Bardo worshipped Schaeffer's innocence. In one letter, he told Schaeffer that he identified with her character's yearning to be famous. His path to fame, however, veered off onto the road to infamy.
Bardo became upset and disillusioned when Rebecca Schaeffer seemingly changed right before his eyes. She began to take on more risqué roles after My Sister Sam was cancelled, which Bardo could not abide. He asked his brother to purchase a .357 revolver for him and his brother foolishly complied. In one letter to the actress, he included lyrics from a John Lennon song and a self-authored song. He wrote to his sister, "I have an obsession with the unattainable and I have to eliminate (something) that I cannot attain." He was not specific about his intentions.
Finally, Bardo went to Schaeffer's apartment and rang her doorbell. Her intercom was not working and she answered her door in her bathrobe. She was polite but told Bardo to leave. He complied, went down the street, and called his sister, confiding to her that he was about to complete his mission.
He returned to her apartment and again rang the doorbell. Schaeffer answered, now out of patience, and told him to leave. Upset by this rejection, Bardo pulled out his gun and shot Schaeffer in the abdomen, fatally wounding her.
Bardo claimed that his inspiration to shoot Schaeffer came from the song Exit, by the rock group U-2. Bardo believed that some of the lyrics were references to Schaeffer and himself. Reviewing the lyrics of the song provides some insight into his mindset. "He wanted to believe in the hands of love." The song describes the mixed emotions of love ranging from black to white with the singer, at least metaphorically, "fingering the steel" of a pistol in his pocket.
What other influences may have held sway with Bardo? When he was fleeing the scene of the shooting, he tossed away a copy of The Catcher in the Rye. He had previously written letters to Mark David Chapman after the assassination of John Lennon. After leaving the crime scene, Bardo was subsequently arrested the following day while running through traffic in Tucson, Arizona.
Exhibit III: John Hinckley, Jr., J.D. Salinger and Taxi Driver
A new PBS documentary on J.D. Salinger will discuss The Catcher in the Rye and will presumably analyze the fact that many killers have identified with the loneliness and isolation experienced by the book's protagonist, Holden Caulfield. Although The Catcher in the Rye should not be seen as a contributing factor to their lethal violence, troubled readers undoubtedly identify with Holden's loneliness and frustration and view his dilemma as support and affirmation for the similar emotions that they are experiencing.
John Hinckley, Jr. who attempted to kill President Reagan, and wounded four others, was also enamored with The Catcher in the Rye. Hinckley was also motivated by and obsessed with the movie Taxi Driver in which the main character, Travis Bickle, was played by Robert DeNiro. The character of Travis Bickle was loosely based on Arthur Bremer, the shooter of Alabama Governor and presidential candidate, George Wallace. In the movie, Bickel becomes enamored with an aide to a political candidate and when she rebuffs him, he targets the political candidate for assassination. Hinckley reportedly had seen Taxi Driver in excess of fifteen times and he became obsessed with the character of the 15-year-old prostitute portrayed by Jodie Foster. The movie poster for Taxi Driver read, "On every street in every city, there's a nobody who dreams of being a somebody." Besides being voted one of the best movie taglines of all time, it also epitomizes the deranged thoughts and spirit of many a mass killer.
From jail, Mark Chapman sent a letter to J.D. Salinger apologizing for being inspired by the book. The cloistered author never responded. Catcher is not in itself particularly violent but it does provide comfort to those who have lost their way and are looking for some confirmation of their discontent and disillusionment. They have been sucked into the negative emotional vortex of an all-engulfing hopelessness.
While browsing at your favorite bookstore, the next time you spy someone reading The Catcher in the Rye, you might start looking for the nearest exit. If you look on my bookshelf, you will certainly find a copy. What does that say about me?

Gavin DeBecker discusses this at length in his book "The Gift of Fear." Assassins do it for the fame and notoriety. They will "copy cat" one another in order to be successful. Thus the carrying around of "Catcher." BTW, it's my favorite book

Pre-Sold Strata Unit
When you purchase a condo unit on the open market well in advance of the completion of the building, you will generally pay property transfer tax on the total amount you paid to acquire the property. The total amount includes any money paid for:
- upgrades or additions, or
- any other premium for assignment of a written agreement
You may transfer the right to purchase the property to a related individual (doesn't include brothers and sisters) before the property is registered at the Land Title Office without affecting the taxable amount.
If the right to purchase is transferred to someone that isn't a related individual, they will need to pay tax based on the fair market value of the property at the time the property was registered at the Land Title office.
This doesn't include bare land stratas.
Foreign Entities
If you're a foreign entity or taxable trustee and the pre-sold strata unit is located in the Greater Vancouver Regional District, you pay the additional property transfer tax in addition to the property transfer tax.
The additional tax is payable when you register the property. If a foreign entity or a taxable trustee signs the original contract, but then assigns the contract to a Canadian citizen or permanent resident before the property is registered, the additional tax won't apply. However, penalties may be applied if there is proof the assignment was done for tax avoidance purposes.

5 stylish ways to wear leather
Oh how we love leather – the smell, the feel, the glamorous way it makes us look. But it can be a little tricky to dress and some people manage to get it so, so wrong – you know who you are.
But with our help, you will get it right once and for all:
A mini leather skirt looks great in the winter. Style black with black for a dramatic, yet sophisticated, going out look. Finish with shoe boots and leave the jewellery at home – you won't need it with this look.
Leather is not just for evening. Dress leather leggings down with converse runners, loose shirt and plain T for a relaxed look. Wear your hair down and throw a large shoulder bag over your arm to finish it off.
You don't have to be a style queen to pull off a leather dress. Keep the look feminine with gold jewellery and pointy heels, wear your hair up in a top knot – let the dress speak for itself.
It is still acceptable to wear shorts out, at least until the end of October… shorts and a plain T-shirt look work really well for an understated going out outfit.
Every girl needs to have a leather jacket in her wardrobe. Save up for a really good timeless piece that you will wear over and over again. For a sophisticated style, mix various textures together and finish with black ankle boots. You can never go wrong with this classic look.

Research demonstrates that associates degree students go on to complete bachelor degrees at a much higher rate than those students who transfer with only a few credits. When starting your associates degree, plan ahead and be sure that you are picking courses that will be transferable to colleges and universities later on. Further, by choosing your major early, you can take the required classes needed for your degree in a community college, saving both time and up-front investment.

Hello, fellow CCC readers! I'm here to tell you a little about my friend Melissa Tagg's debut inspirational contemporary romance, Made to Last, and what we can learn from it. I was fortunate enough to give Melissa a hug the day this released, and it's been so much fun to witness her journey as a debut author.
When a handsome reporter starts shadowing Miranda's every move, all his digging into her personal life brings him a little too close to the truth--and to her. Can the girl whose entire identity is wrapped up in her on-screen persona finally find the nerve to set the record straight? And if she does, will the life she's built come crashing down just as she's found a love to last?
Thanks, Laurie!! I totally agree! It's romance at its best! Sheesh!! And I'm a historical romance fiction junkie, but Melissa Tagg captured the spirit of the behind-the-scenes of Extreme Home Makeovers with a hunky hero that gives Ty Pennington a serious run for his money. In fact, the men in this book are worth of their own books ...hint hint Melissa Tagg (book 2 maybe?!?) :)
I thoroughly enjoyed the character banter. The tension between the heroine and her hero(s) is awesome. I love the fact the heroine is plucky but vulnerable and let's admit, it's about time we get a heroine who knows how to wield a hammer and use a table saw!
Way to go Melissa Tagg! You knocked this one off the roof and to the moon!
...and here's just a tidbit about our dear guest blogger. You'll have fun getting to know her too as you check out Melissa's debut read!

Did you know you can access free professional and confidential help for issues that may affect your performance at work? An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a voluntary, confidential program that helps employees (including management) work through various life challenges that may adversely affect job performance, health, and personal well-being. The goal is to extend an organization's success.
EAP services include assessments, counseling, and referrals for additional services for employees with personal and work-related concerns. This includes mental health issues (such as depression, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder), stress, financial issues, legal issues, family problems (such as domestic abuse), office conflicts, and alcohol and substance abuse.
EAPs also often work with management and supervisors to provide advanced planning for organizational changes, restructuring, emergency planning etc.
How EAPs Developed
EAPs within the Federal government originally began as occupational alcohol programs to address the negative impact of alcohol abuse on productivity and organizational performance.
The focus of these programs expanded as organizations recognized that alcohol was not the only issue affecting employees at work. Current EAPs address a wide range of issues, such as workplace conflicts, family matters, financial challenges, and mental health.
Private EAP firms began to offer EAP services via contracts to employers in the 1970s. Today, it's common to see companies contract for specific outside services (for instance, a professional who has experience in counseling individuals with a disability).
Why EAPs Are Important Today
EAPs are now widely in place in the private and public sectors of today's job market because they help employers to:
Improve productivity and employee engagement.
Develop employee ability to manage workplace stress.
Reduce workplace absenteeism.
Support employees during workforce restructuring and reduction in forces.
Reduce the likelihood of workplace violence or other safety risks.
Support disaster and emergency preparedness.
Reduce employee turnover and related replacement costs.
When EAP is Not Appropriate
Here are situations in which an EAP intervention is not appropriate because other approaches can be more effective:
· Career Development – You may believe you lack skills in delegation, for instance, and need help in that regard. But, that's not an EAP concern. It's a training need that you and your supervisor can address during your periodic performance reviews as part of your personal career development.
· Orientation – Your employer may have a mentoring program which is designed to better meet your needs as a new employee for learning about how to fit into the organization's corporate culture. Orientation and mentoring are not EAP functions.
· Grievances – If you have a personal grievance, you need to bring it up with your immediate supervisor. The next step is your union steward, if you're represented by a labor union. But, EAPs are not to be used to address grievances. A broader grievance (such as inaccessible company social functions) could be an appropriate topic or project for your company's disability affinity group.
· Accommodations – Gaining accommodations is a responsibility shared by you, your supervisor and other departments (such as Human Resources or Information Technology).
EAPs and Disability
Situations in which an employer may mandate the use of an employee assistance program (EAP) are rare. The Employee Assistance Professionals Association (EAPA) in its Standards and Professional Guidelines says:
"Employees may voluntarily seek EAP assistance, or they may be referred to the EAP through constructive confrontation. Job security will not be jeopardized as a consequence of seeking or using EAP services, except where mandated by law. However, employees who use an EAP are expected to adhere to the job performance requirements of the organization."
Employers often provide information about EAP services to employees when there are performance issues or when the employee has disclosed to the employer that he or she is having difficulty dealing with personal issues.
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a mandatory EAP referral could be interpreted that the employer perceives an employee to have a disability, even if he or she does not. Taking action, such as termination, against an employee who refuses the EAP referral or does not comply with treatment may result in claims of disability discrimination based on a "perceived" disability.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has affirmed that "the employer may not force the individual with a disability to choose between treatment or EAP participation and discipline in situations where other employees would not be disciplined."
For example, an employer may refer a group of co-workers who are having problems getting along at work for assistance with interpersonal skills. However, the employer should not single out an individual for such referral because he or she has or is perceived as having a disability that is interfering with his or her ability to get along with co-workers.
More common are "formal" referrals to an EAP in which the employer provides a written referral for the employee based on specific work-related issues. A formal referral is not mandatory and does not result in disciplinary action for noncompliance.
How to Use EAP Effectively as an Employee with a Disability: An Example
Let's agree that an employer needs to focus on job performance according to established performance and conduct standards.
Your supervisor has noted (and you tend to agree) that you appear to lack the self-confidence and assertiveness needed to do well in your job as a customer service rep. She recommends using the company's EAP to obtain counseling from a qualified professional with a disability background.
You soon discover through your counseling sessions that you have not personally addressed memories (both positive and negative) about what your family members and others have repeated during your childhood about disability in general and your situation as an individual with a disability specifically.
Those messages have stuck with you all these years, and while they may been well-intentioned, they have distorted how you see yourself.
Through a couple of months of counseling, you are able to rewrite your past (addressing those inaccurate messages) and make your own roadmap based on new, more accurate thinking about yourself.
That new roadmap helps. Your supervisor comments about your new self-confidence at work during your next job performance review.
Used appropriately, an EAP can be a win-win-win for employees, supervisors and organizations.

If you are looking for an outlandish member of the political party to be this Halloween, you've come to the right place. The only problem is deciding on which one. The gunslinger Governor Rick Perry from Texas, Sarah Palin, or the Tea Party favorite Michele Bachmann.
Michele Bachmann is a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives, who represents Minnesota's 6th congressional district. She is known for her radical thinking, "off-kilter" comments, and is fully aware that she has been labeled a "Kook". Becoming her for a day really isn't that difficult. Let's get started!
1. Find your self a dark auburn wig with layers, which comes a few inches below the shoulder, preferable with a sweeping bang.
2. Apply natural toned face makeup. Keeping the eyelashes thick with a few coats of mascara, a thick black line of eyeliner on top of the eye led. Apply a nice layer of pinkish blush, with a neutral layer of lipstick (something pink or beige).
3. She doesn't seem to stick to the typical pant and skirt suits, and likes a variety of colors. Just try and find something conservative. If it's a skirt or dress, always keep it below the knees!
4. Don't forget the accessories! If you want something more bold than the typical diamond or pearls studded earring. Try dangling pearls or large stones. Further accessorize with a necklace, something bold but not hip. If in doubt, if your grandmother would wear it, you've got the right accessory.
5. Next, the shoes. Depending on your choice of clothes will determine your shoes, just makes sure they are no more than 3 inches.
Facial Expression/Mannerisms:
1. Every so often, give a surprised wide eyed look. Kind of like psycho eyeballs, with a little spooky and a touch of crazy.
2. Facial expressions should be kind of erratic and strange, sort of like you just tasted something really bad.
3. Pop a couple of aspirin here and there.
4. Throw you hands up in the air widely when trying to make a point.
1. Make sure to disagree with anything Democratic
2. Bash anything Obama does or says
3. Say off the wall things that have no logic. Here are a few examples of things she has said in the past (these quotes are all courtesy of "The HuffingtonPost.com"), but they can be found all over the internet:
a. "I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under another Democrat president Jimmy Carter. And I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence"
b. "Normalization [of gayness] through desensitization. Very effective way to do this with a bunch of second graders is take a picture of 'The Lion King' for instance, and a teacher might say, 'Do you know that the music for this movie was written by a gay man?' The message is: 'I'm better at what I do, because I'm gay.'"
c. "The President of the United States will be taking a trip over to India that is expected to cost the taxpayers $200 million a day."
Need to dress a couple or group?
Try one dressing up as Michele Bachmann and the other her Anti-Gay Husband who seems gayer than a $2 bill. You could also dress one up as Elvis since she wished him a Happy Birthday on his day of passing. Either way you could make a funny costume event out of this crazy lady.

By jbayer - Last updated: Tuesday, March 15, 2011 - Save & Share - Leave a Comment
I chose Elastix, partially because it is a a popular distribution, partly because it is easy to install, and partly because it includes additional functionality which we may use in the future. Elastix is actually a complete communications server, including email, fax, VOIP, IM via Jabber, and integration with different CRMs

Have been looking for just the right shade of green eyeshadow for quite some time, and this was perfect! My eyes are green, so I usually stay with a light shade of green. This eyeshadow blends well and is a soft accent. Purchased an extra solo eyeshadow just in case this product becomes unavailable. You can always count on LovelySkin for all your beauty needs!
The texture of this eyeshadow is so much better than other natural brands I have used. Beautiful color and texture win-win!
nice color-stays on long time
Dr. Hauschka has the best products. This eye shadow stays on all day and has never irritated my eyes or contact lenses like other brands do. I am so happy with this product!
This color is a shimmery gold and it is my absolute favorite against my brown eyes. It lasts all day on me!
I bought these in 01 & 02 and they are lovely neutrals that look great with my green eyes and fair skin. I was surprised and impressed with the fine, silky texture. I buy expensive brands and these are top of the line. These colors have the perfect amount of shimmer to brighten up your eyes. They are not glaringly sparkly and look fine in daylight. 01 is a pretty pale yellow color that I tend to use as an everyday neutral, but it makes a nice highlight too for the inner corner or under brow bone. 02 is a light beige that works really well with my coloring. A lot of brown tones look muddy on me, but this is just right.

Boro linked with Igor swoop
By Graeme Bailey
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Middlesbrough are reportedly keen on landing Juventus stopper Igor Tudor.Middlesbrough are reportedly keen on landing Juventus stopper Igor Tudor.
The Croatian star was linked with a number of English clubs during the transfer window after Juve agreed to let him leave.
However, the Italians appeared to change their mind last week when general manager Luciano Moggi said they could not afford to let him go, but Boro are now hoping that they can persuade their Serie A counterparts to let Tudor leave.
Boro have failed to land Celtic's Bobo Balde and manager Steve McClaren has already revealed his determination to bring in a new central defender - with Ugo Ehiogu and Chris Riggott sidelined.
McClaren has not travelled with the Boro squad on a winter break to Spain, in order to try and make a breakthrough on the transfer front.
Italian sources now claim that Juve will meet with Boro in the next 48 hours to discuss a potential loan move.
Boro are also in the market for a midfielder. Lazio's Ousmane Dabo is known to have been one name under consideration, along with Olivier Dacourt of Roma.
However, it is believed McClaren could try yet another bid for Chelsea's former Boro star Geremi - a player he has made three approaches for in the last month alone.
Turkish side Besiktas enquired after him last week and that may well have prompted Boro to go back in to make sure they were first in the queue, should Geremi be allowed to leave - which appears unlikely.
Boro are also still waiting to hear if their bid for Real Madrid's Albert Celades will prove succesful.

GAA president Liam O'Neill has confirmed that a decision will be taken at Saturday week's Central Council meeting on whether the interprovincial series will be held in 2013.
A discussion group will present six suggestions on how to re-capture public interest in the series.
The 2012 interprovincials took place in February, while back in 2007 Croke Park hosted the finals that were played in October. As of now, no date has been decided as to when next year's matches will take place.
Speaking ahead of next week's meeting, O'Neill said: "We asked those in favour of its continuation to devise something that people might support and that's now up for discussion. It's (future) is not guaranteed, but it has not gone either.
"If everyone who said they wanted the competition to continue actually went to the games, we'd have thousands at the games."

A/N: I don't know if this is what you guys thought, but I thought that Sandy was appearing too perfect and kinda Mary Sue-like, so I gave her something to take away from that.
[Setting: Landis High School…]
Quentin Mustard shook his head, watching Sandy walk down the hall. He never noticed her, but he'd been stalking…ahem, watching Loretta Scarlet lately and she'd mentioned her in a plot for some kind of revenge.
She always knew what to say, was smart, and was decent-looking. She was too perfect.
She had a deep, dark secret, Quentin knew it, and he was out to find out what it was.
[Setting: Hill House…]
Sandy sighed, sitting on the kitchen counter while Mrs. Ho washed the dishes. "Did you ever wish that you weren't here?" She asked her.
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Ho replied absent-mindedly.
"I mean, do you ever wish that you had a normal life? Away from Mr. Boddy and Hill House and all this crap?"
She hesitated. "I don't think I should answer that."
"I do. I mean…"
"Sandy, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm surrounded by people who do or have done bad things. I'm expected to look up to these people. And I am becoming one of them."
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Ho sighed.
"I'm helping Mr. Boddy blackmail the parents of some kids in my high school and now I have to target the kids too. And also…look, I can trust you, right?"
She finally stopped and turned to look at Sandy. "We're in this together, aren't we?" She smiled wearily.
"Well, do you remember how I used to get money?"
"Oh, yeah. You used to sing those songs on the streets."
"Yeah. The public ate that up with a spoon. But now I'm older…and I have to act older."
"Where's this going, Sandy?" Mrs. Ho eyed her suspiciously.
"Um…I get money in…different ways now."
"Spit it out, young lady."
"I do sleazy things with sleazy guys when I'm offered enough. It's shameful, I know. It makes working here seem like Heaven, but it's not like I get such an offer here."
"Well, I mean financially." Sandy shuddered. "But I'm hoping not in that way."
Mrs. Ho paused. "I didn't know that about you," she shook her head, "and I'm surprised at you."
"I know. But you want to know what else? It's the closest thing I'll ever come to any kind of love. That and that creepy Howard guy."
"Have you told anybody else this?"
"No. But I'm sure Mr. Boddy knows. He knows everything about me."
"You and me both."
"Why, what's there to know about you?"
"I'll tell you another time."
A tear ran down Sandy's cheek. "I'm disgracing my parents." She whimpered. "It was my father's last request that I was taken care of, you know. Something like that. And look what I do with my life. He wouldn't have wanted this."
"In a way, there's nothing either of you can do."
"Don't do that with me! I'm trash and I know it!"
"You know, I always felt that there was something wrong with you." Mrs. Ho shook her head. "And now I know what it is."
"That's why I try to be that unseen girl at school. The less people care about me, the better. The less people who'll find out. Get it?"
There was an awkward pause until Sandy finally burst into tears. Mrs. Ho patted her shoulder to make her calm down, which eventually was achieved. Yvette popped her head in the doorway.
"Is everyzing all right?" She asked.
Sandy nodded sadly. "Yeah. Thanks, Yvette."
She walked away and Sandy looked up at Mrs. Ho. "This is our secret, right?" She asked.
She nodded at her, smiling warmly, and then want back to doing the dishes while Sandy fiddled with a bracelet.
[Setting: Hill House – The Study…]
"Really? Well, that's interesting. And I bet she thinks I'll never find out. I should've known she'd resort to that. I should've known she—"
"Excuse me? Do you need anything?"
"No. Take the night off, why don't you? I'm sure you have some cars to climb into."
A pause.
"How did you…"
"How did I know? I'm sure you should know by now that I know everything. Now go get me a drink, you little slut."
"…Yes, sir."
A/N: Who do you think is a rat? BTW, this story's not going to get graphic, but I think I want a little part about Sandy at…ahem…work. And the whole Clue plot will come into play eventually. This is just kind of an introduction to the characters' world. But the best way to get through long introductions? Picture Morgan Freeman reading this! ;)
