just the two of us
Starbucks always makes me think of working hard. I studied for all my board exams in Starbucks-es, from Step I at that Starbucks on 103nd and Broadway all the way up through my Anesthesia Oral Boards at the location on Monroe and 8th. The difference between Starbucks-es in New York and Atlanta, by the way? The Starbucks-es in New York serve you much, much faster.
I also wrote my entire book at the Starbucks on 29th and Park, which if you need to do work is (or at least was five years ago) an ideal Starbucks--huge, a preponderance of large tables, with a strip of power outlets around the entire outer wall. Oh, another difference between Starbucks-es in New York versus Atlanta? People bring work to Starbucks-es in Atlanta of course, but usually it's more like a rest stop, or a place to have some coffee and kill time between appointments or tasks. In New York, people set up shop. I read once in an article that Starbucks aimed to make their coffee shop locations into "virtual living rooms," places where people can kind of hang out in an armchair and meet with friends--hopefully buying large quantities of overpriced food in the process--and I think that there's likely no place where this is more true than in New York, where a lot of people frankly don't have actual full-sized living rooms in their apartments.
I mean, I brought my laptop there, and maybe my bookbag, a manuscript envelope, assorted miscellany. But there were people who brought full desktop computers (24-inch monitor AND the tower), the entire contents of their law library, extra desk lamps for those darker corners of the store. During my final year of residency when I was trying to finish my book by the July 1st deadline, I would take one day per weekend that I wasn't on call, leave Cal with Joe, set up base camp in one corner of that Starbucks and just sit there for eight, ten hours at a time. I would buy one coffee and get something cheap(er) but filling, like an egg salad sandwich. And then I would sit there and bust ass, looking up only occasionally if something interesting was happening, like the police coming in to extract homeless people that refused to get out of the bathroom--something that happened with alarming frequency. When I left, usually in the early afternoon, my hair and clothes would reek of smoke from the coffee roaster, as though I'd just smoked a billion cigarettes.
This has been Starbucks Talk. I'm your host, Michelle Au.
Anyway, the point of this post was not to talk about Starbucks (and it goes without saying that I have no affiliation with Starbucks, not only because I don't run paid ads on this blog but because this is such a small blog that STARBUCKS DON'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT I SAY), but to catch you up on Mack.
When I decided to go part-time, one of the first things that pushed me to consider scaling back at work was the fact that Cal was already halfway out the door to college, but the things that made me actually decide to make the leap was Mack. Because see, the thing with Mack is that...he's fine. He's always just fine. Cal's the oldest, so he often gets a lot of attention because of his school and activities (Cal recently joined the Lego Robotics team at school, and to say that Mack is inelegantly jealous would be kind); and of course Nina gets a lot of attention because she's a baby and needs us to do every damn thing for her. But Mack? Mack is always OK. He can do a lot of stuff for himself. He can play nicely by himself or with his siblings. A lot of the things he needs (a glass of milk, help reaching something high) Cal can often troubleshoot, and does, especially if I'm tied up doing something like cooking dinner or putting the baby down. He's happy, he's pleasant, he's not really that high-maintenance for a four year-old. And that's how I think he ends up getting ignored a lot. Classic middle-child syndrome.
And the thing with Mack is that he's just so reassuring with how normal he is. Cal was by all accounts kind of a weird child (he's much better now, warm and social and adaptable in ways we could only dream of when he was Mack's age, when he was...less so those things) but Mack has always been like the textbook illustration of Boy in Early Childhood. He like sports and wrestling with dad. He plays pretend and makes up little playlets with his stuffed animals and action figures. He's sunny and affectionate and snuggly and fun. Even his drawings are textbook--every human looks like a happy scarecrow with vertigo, all stick limbs with five fingers on each hand, clubby feet, smiley face. Every house has a chimney, every flower has six petals, and there's always a sun with beams shooting out in the corner.
(The reason that I make such a big deal about the drawings is that Cal's drawings at this age were--well, they were pretty weird. He was always good at drawing inanimate objects or landscapes, but when it came to drawing people, his drawings were just odd. Even when he was five and beyond, he'd sometimes draw people missing limbs, sometimes missing heads, and when he did draw a head it would be tiny, like a pinhead, with no face on it. NO FACE. What the hell, young Cal? Anyway, long story short I started introducing Cal to comics and gave him a little key of facial expressions so that he could draw his own comics and so the reader would be able to infer the mood of each character and thus the thrust of the story. So that's not an issue anymore, but still, I will admit that there was a period of time where I was worried that this was the first sign that we were raising some kind of sociopath who was unable to read human emotion or something.)
(And yes, I also see how telling it is that I just spent a paragraph talking about Cal in a entry that I ostensibly started to talk about Mack, but see, that's the thing! Cal was so weird and attention consuming! And Mack is so normal and easy! That's exactly why it's so easy to set him on autopilot-parenting and exactly why he's going to quit his tutoring job and join a violence gang because his parents never paid attention to him! I mean, probably!)
One of my main goals now that I have more time is to spend some time with Mack, just the two of us, one-on-one. I had to take him to the dentist two weeks ago, an expedition that I billed as our "special day" (in that yes, we were going to the dentist, but he could skip school for the rest of the day and afterwards we could go the playground and then have lunch together wherever he wanted! And also: free toothbrush!) and the degree to which he was excited about his "special day" with me was unreal. He talked about it literally every day for the weeks leading up to the appointment, and he seemed to especially relish the fact that it would be just for him, that Cal would have to go to school and that Nina would have to stay home, and weren't they going to be so jealous? There really was nothing that extravagant about the day at all, so the special thing for him wasn't so much the activities or skipping school or the Chick-Fil-A for lunch, as the fact that it happened at all. For half a day, he was my only kid.
So anyway, something that I've committed to doing is to try and have a special day with Mack about once a month--or at the very least, a special morning or afternoon. We'll just do something low-key--making Rice Krispie treats, going to the playground, doing an art project--but just something that we can do alone without Cal being there asserting his own superiority in gluing pompoms ("I used to do it like that when I was four too, Mack...but you'll get better at it. I mean, probably.") or without Nina there needing all of my everything. And maybe we won't even need a dentist appointment as an excuse to do it.
Parenthood, right?

Love the blog! Glad you are getting some free time from work to spend with Mack. Looks like you are doing an excellent job with parenthood. I can relate to Cal because I was like him as a child and I think I turned out just fine. I actually have a drawing of me and my husband I sketched without our faces!ReplyDelete
You appreciate this now, but let me tell you, you are really going to be glad you are taking this time with him when he's a teenager. There is nothing that makes for easy teen years as the relationship built when they are small. It seems to be the make or break line with a lot of kids.ReplyDelete

That's great that you're planning special time with Mack. I recently read the book Siblings Without Rivalry by Adele Faber, Elaine Mazlish http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/458479.Siblings_Without_RivalryReplyDelete
And in it, it recommended that it was important for each child to get one-on-one time with each parent somewhat consistently. In our child psychiatry lecture, they recommended each child have at least two hours of special time per week with each parent within which to do what the child wanted to do that was fun for the child. This was recommended to be discipline and lecture free time, and sibling free time. Other books recommend going on a trip with teenage children one-on-one as the child gets older.
Blink and he'll be gone. Nina, too. I know people always say this, and I've been hearing it for the past 16 years since I became a mom, but somehow it didn't really dent my psyche at the time. Suddenly I'm having a bit of existential crisis about the little time left before my babies are gone. How come it felt like this was how it would be for as long as you can imagine?! Why didn't I have like 15 kids, spread over 30 years, so I could, you know, never have to move on from this phase of my life?! And what the heck is there ahead that compares to how awesome being a mom raising my kids? I hope there's something, because in less than five years I'll be home alone while The Hubs is überoccupied with his first year as a "real doctor" (post fellowship) and my little birds have flown away to college and whatnot. I suppose there will be some nice things about it (eg: instead of working really crazyproductive flights that get my hours in as quickly as possible so I can get back home to my kids, I can do those cushy layover trips in tropical places.), but all the sudden the thought of how quickly that future time will be upon me is causing me angst. I love every stage of mothering...there are sweet aspects of every age. But I can't imagine being a grandmother is as wonderful as being The Mom. So, trying not to be too clingy now. But yeah, good you're keying into this now. You've still got some time. ♥ReplyDelete
Oh wow. I really liked this whole Cal/Mack thing, but I really LOVE that you are back to writing more! Also my son is 22, and daughter is 15. She's needy, he has always been way too independent and I let him be. I wish every day I had let him be more of a kid, and less of a responsible big brother. So good on you.ReplyDelete
Love this. I think I'm going to follow in your footsteps and start having some special days with my younger son.ReplyDelete
This post was so sweet. It also makes me wonder what the heck I'm going to do one day when I have kids. (First one's on the way! Yay for research year during a general surgery residency!)ReplyDelete

That is so adorable. I was an oldest kid but all I remember is the stricter rules, not any extra attention! I'm LOVING that you're blogging more again-you are one of the funniest writers I've read and I hope that getting to spend more time with your family (notice that I didn't say working part-time, I know this is still a full-time job!) has been working out for you all.ReplyDelete

As a classic middle child from a gang of six, I was JUST like Mack. This didn't ever happen in my past...and yet I survived, but I totally would have loved this!) No kid ever grows up wishing mom had spent more time at work.ReplyDelete
Love your parenting; love your writing. SO glad you're back. Seems you've found that elusive balance. Kudos. You sound like an awesome mom.
Totally great, thanks!!ReplyDelete
Okay, I'm a 28-year old middle child, and I STILL treasure time I spend one-on-one with my parents. My mom came to visit me last year (just me! not my sister! no one else!) and I think I talked about it incessantly for a month. I'm so happy to read that you're carving out special time for Mack -- enjoy!!!ReplyDelete

Yes, parenthood. It's hard. You're doing a great job. My MIL was one of eight. She was second youngest, so #6 of 8. Her father lived a long fruitful life. They were immigrants and settled in the suburbs of a major American city. 'Til this day she randomly talks about how she longed as a little girl for her father to just spend some time with her alone the two of them. All she wanted was for him to hold her hand and walk with her in the neighborhood just the two of them. It never happened. She is a very needy wife. I think the child parent relationship is very important for better or worst. I am fortunate to be a stay at home mom. My husband works insane surgery hours. We are far from family. My "baby" (almost a year old) gets what I thought was "alot" of attention. My oldest is so demanding with her attention (it's usually negative attention). I do notice everyone (myself included) feels more balanced when each child gets a little time just me and that child. So very important to create those bonds. I'm glad to hear others say this will help in the teenage years. Looking back on my own teenage years sounds about right. Can't wait for you to post your NEXT Mack "date". He looks like such a sweet and smart little guy. :) Thanks for sharing. I can totally relate to you and your feelings.ReplyDelete

As the middle child of 3 siblings, I really appreciate your blog post and think it's wonderful you're making the effort to spend more time with Mack.ReplyDelete
I'm in my late 20s now but in the last few years, I've had my father and grandmother each separately say to me that they both recognize that I kinda got the short end of the stick because I was the middle child. It was kind of nice to be acknowledged but sad too.

This is a bit random, but are those Instagram photos I see? What service do you use to print them out?ReplyDelete
On a note that's actually related to this post, I echo the comments about carving out time for middle kids. I am one myself and remember feeling left behind as a kid. Thanks for acknowledging it with Mack.

I know this is over a year old, but I wanted to weigh in. I'm a 36 year old grown middle child (4th of 5 kids, to be more specific). Mom always said I was the easy, happy, low maintenance kid. And I was fine. I am fine. I grew up to be a fairly easy, happy, low maintenance adult. I had a fantastic childhood. With very few exceptions, I never felt neglected. I became a doctor (the only one in the family, go fig. But it should be noted that all my siblings are wildly successful in their other respective fields). I got married, I have some kids. Being a middle child definitely shapes the way I parent my own kids because I honestly think a little benign neglect is not a bad thing. Boredom is good for creativity. The ability to amuse themselves, the ability to deal and cope with change - these are incredible skills that we can't really teach our kids, we can only allow themselves to learn. Independence is a great thing. You always seem like a really caring and great mom. There is a very strong possibility that Mac is fine and WILL BE fine. My parents did try to specifically seek out individual time with each kid (good job, mom!) but I wanted to give a shout out to middle children. Sometimes "middle child syndrome" is not necessarily feeling neglected, but realizing that life isn't fair and learning to cope.ReplyDelete
I once read a book about birth order by a therapist. He said he paid for his practice counseling grown firstborns, he paid for his car counseling the grown youngests, he rarely saw those grown middle children in his office. He said, "They already know life isn't fair. It makes for a very well adjusted adult."

Boehringer Ingelheim to Present New Dabigatran Etexilate Mesylate Data at the ACC.13 Annual Meeting
Ridgefield, CT, March 5, 2013 – Boehringer Ingelheim will present data on dabigatran from four abstracts at the 62nd Annual Scientific Session of the American College of Cardiology (ACC) in San Francisco, Calif., from March 9 to 11, 2013.

About Pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate) Capsules
Indications and Usage
Pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate) capsules is indicated to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
PRADAXA is contraindicated in patients with:
- Active pathological bleeding
- A known serious hypersensitivity reaction to PRADAXA (e.g., anaphylactic reaction or anaphylactic shock)
- A mechanical prosthetic heart valve
Risk of Bleeding
PRADAXA increases the risk of bleeding and can cause significant and, sometimes, fatal bleeding. Promptly evaluate any signs or symptoms of blood loss (e.g., a drop in hemoglobin and/or hematocrit or hypotension). Discontinue PRADAXA in patients with active pathological bleeding.
Risk factors for bleeding include concomitant use of medications that increase the risk of bleeding (e.g., anti-platelet agents, heparin, fibrinolytic therapy, and chronic use of NSAIDs). PRADAXA's anticoagulant activity and half-life are increased in patients with renal impairment.
A specific reversal agent for dabigatran is not available. Hemodialysis can remove dabigatran; however clinical experience for hemodialysis as a treatment for bleeding is limited. Activated prothrombin complex concentrates, recombinant Factor VIIa, or concentrates of factors II, IX or X may be considered but their use has not been evaluated. Protamine sulfate and vitamin K are not expected to affect dabigatran anticoagulant activity. Consider administration of platelet concentrates where thrombocytopenia is present or long-acting antiplatelet drugs have been used.
Thromboembolic and Bleeding Events in Patients with Prosthetic Heart Valves
The safety and efficacy of PRADAXA in patients with bileaflet mechanical prosthetic heart valves (recently implanted or implanted more than 3 months prior to enrollment) was evaluated in the phase 2 RE-ALIGN trial. RE-ALIGN was terminated early because of significantly more thromboembolic events (valve thrombosis, stroke, transient ischemic attack, and myocardial infarction) and an excess of major bleeding (predominantly post-operative pericardial effusions requiring intervention for hemodynamic compromise) for PRADAXA vs warfarin. Therefore, the use of PRADAXA is contraindicated in patients with mechanical prosthetic valves.
Use of PRADAXA for the prophylaxis of thromboembolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation and other forms of valvular heart disease, including bioprosthetic heart valve, has not been studied and is not recommended.
Temporary Discontinuation of PRADAXA
Discontinuing PRADAXA for active bleeding, elective surgery, or invasive procedures places patients at an increased risk of stroke. Minimize lapses in therapy.
Effect of P-gp Inducers & Inhibitors on Dabigatran Exposure
The concomitant use of PRADAXA with P-gp inducers (e.g., rifampin) reduces exposure to dabigatran and should generally be avoided. P-gp inhibition and impaired renal function are major independent factors in increased exposure to dabigatran. Concomitant use of P-gp inhibitors in patients with renal impairment is expected to increase exposure of dabigatran compared to either factor alone.
For patients with moderate renal impairment (CrCl 30-50 mL/min), consider reducing the dose of PRADAXA to 75 mg twice daily when dronedarone or systemic ketoconazole is coadministered with PRADAXA.
For patients with severe renal impairment (CrCl 15-30 mL/min), avoid concomitant use of PRADAXA and P-gp inhibitors.
In the pivotal trial comparing PRADAXA to warfarin, the most frequent adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of PRADAXA were bleeding and gastrointestinal (GI) events. PRADAXA 150 mg resulted in a higher rate of major GI bleeds and any GI bleeds compared to warfarin. In patients ≥75 years of age, the risk of major bleeding may be greater with PRADAXA than with warfarin. Patients on PRADAXA 150 mg had an increased incidence of GI adverse reactions. These were commonly dyspepsia (including abdominal pain upper, abdominal pain, abdominal discomfort, and epigastric discomfort) and gastritis-like symptoms (including GERD, esophagitis, erosive gastritis, gastric hemorrhage, hemorrhagic gastritis, hemorrhagic erosive gastritis, and GI ulcer). Drug hypersensitivity reactions were reported in <0.1% of patients receiving PRADAXA.
Other Measures Evaluated
In the pivotal trial, a higher rate of clinical myocardial infarction was reported in patients who received PRADAXA (0.7 per 100 patient-years for 150 mg dose) than in those who received warfarin (0.6).

Because I am a Girl: The State of the Worlds Girls 2009

Focusing on girls in the global economy, the report warns that failing to send girls to school is costing the worlds poorest countries billions of pounds each year. No education means girls are confined to dangerous, unskilled work - neglecting their earning potential and slowing a countrys recovery from the current financial crisis.
The global economic downturn also means girls in the developing world are the first to lose their jobs, may end up in the sex trade and are more likely to die young.

|Miles Matson (circa 1912- ), a former salesman living in Austin, Texas, collected jokes and other comedy-related materials as a hobby throughout much of the twentieth century. The Miles Matson Joke Collection consists of approximately 100,000 transcriptions and clippings of jokes plus additional comedy-related materials.

|Miles Matson (circa 1912- ), a former salesman living in Austin, Texas, collected jokes and other comedy-related materials as a hobby throughout much of the twentieth century. In a letter to comedian Joey Adams, Matson described the start of his collecting activities at the age of ten. Matson's father conducted the pit orchestra at the Orpheum Theatre, a vaudeville house in Wichita, Kansas. During performances, the young Matson began copying down many of the jokes he heard on stage. He wrote, "It was fun copying down gags from the many comedians that played the theatre…In several years time I collected quite a batch of material, only to have it loaned to a performer one day in Wichita, and never returned." Despite this early setback, Matson continued to collect jokes and other comedy-related materials into the 1990s, donating his collection of 159 binders to the Harry Ransom Center in 2006.
|Miles Matson to Joey Adams, 4 February 1987, Miles Matson Joke Collection, Folder 56.5, Harry Ransom Center, The University of Texas at Austin.
|The Miles Matson Joke Collection consists of transcriptions and clippings of jokes plus additional comedy-related materials. The time span of the joke collection covers approximately the late 1950s to early 1990s, with the bulk dating from the 1970s and 1980s. The collection is arranged in two series, I. Jokes, circa 1950s-1990s, and II. Other Comedy-Related Materials, circa 1970-1988.
|Series I contains approximately 100,000 transcriptions and clippings of jokes, typed, handwritten or pasted onto approximately 24,000 index cards and indexed by subject. The cards were originally housed in ring binders and were organized in rough alphabetical order by subject keyword. The sequence of cards within the binders, and of the binders themselves, has been preserved, even when it does not follow strict alphabetical order. The binders were assigned volume numbers during processing to help maintain their original order. Two binders, Vol. 149, Dentists - Dogs and Vol. 150, Pair - Quote, have been preserved as examples of their original state. The other binders have been discarded due to preservation concerns, with their contents housed in document boxes.
|The approximately 2,660 keywords used by Matson to classify the jokes are varied in nature, ranging from themes like marriage and growing old, to names of well-known comedians like Rodney Dangerfield, to genres of jokes like limericks, puns and put-downs. Please note that a significant portion of the jokes in Matson's collection may be considered crude and/or offensive in nature, including humor based on racial and ethnic stereotypes and sexually explicit humor. Many jokes are duplicated several times within the collection, often indexed by Matson under multiple subject keywords. An alphabetical index of Matson's keywords is included in this guide and provides box and folder number locations for cards and notes containing jokes on each subject.
|Several binders were partially or completed filled by cards indexed only by letter; these volumes have been described as A (B, C, etc.) [assorted keywords] and typically contain a mix of subject keywords not found elsewhere in Matson's collection. Vols. 147, 148 and 154 contain miscellaneous cards that were not classified by Matson. Vol. 151, Miscellaneous [notes], consists not of index cards but rather of notes taken by Matson recording various jokes, often in an incomplete fashion. The notes were assigned subject keywords.
|Series II is composed of published materials, originally also collected in binders by Matson, and a scrapbook of comedy-related clippings. Short runs of the publications Comedy Fillers (May 1978-September 1980) and Quote (October 15, 1983-March 15, 1985) are filed here, along with a disbound copy of Larry Wilde's The Ultimate Jewish Joke Book (1986). Matson's scrapbook, which has been disbound for preservation purposes, primarily contains clippings about famous comedy writers and performers and articles about the art of joke-telling and the psychology of humor. A few transcriptions of jokes and pieces of correspondence were also found in the scrapbook and have been kept in their original location.

|Ethnic wit and humor.

Operation Ragnarök:Defending the Whales of Iceland2007
Thanks for getting us there... The whales count on us to protect them.
In October 2006, after 20 years of compliance, Iceland began to violate the International Whaling
Commission's global moratorium on whaling and gave only a one-day notice before killing a whale.
Iceland has issued themselves a quota of 9 endangered fin whales and 30 piked (Minke) whales to brutally slaughter before August 31, 2007 - in addition to their bogus lethal "scientific research" program which targets another 39 piked whales.
Sea Shepherd is Going to Intervene
Sea Shepherd, the Whales' Navy, is the only organization whose mission is to uphold and enforce international conservation regulations on the high seas. We are sending our ship the Farley Mowat and a crew of volunteers to create an international incident over Iceland's refusal to comply with global protection regulations.
Operation Ragnarök
We are calling this campaign Operation Ragnarök. This is an old Nordic word that means "doom or destruction of the powers." We intend to take our intervention to the land of the Norse - straight to the coast of Iceland - for a confrontation with the outlaw Icelandic whaling operations.
We intend to create an international incident over Iceland's refusal to comply with international protection regulations.
These criminals and outlaw operations must be stopped!
It is a long, difficult, and dangerous campaign but we have no alternative except to once again challenge Iceland, and so we must set forth on a quest to protect and defend the whales that Iceland plans to kill.
The whales are counting on us for protection . . . We are counting on you to keep us fighting for them.
Sea Shepherd Homepage
Sea Shepherd would like to thank Sea Life Surveys for their generosity in sharing with us the Minke whale pictures seen in the banner and on this page.

Is commuting set to join pagers, PalmPilots and faxes in the annals of office history? Maybe so. According to a 2014 survey at the Global Leadership Summit in London, 34% of business leaders felt that over half of their workforce will be working at home come 2020.
Working at home can be a smart move for your career and an invigorating change of lifestyle. As your morning commute vanishes, you can regain control over your day-to-day routine. This is also a rare opportunity to work in your dream environment, creating a calm, clean and efficient home office.
Here are seven simple steps that will help you create a productive yet personalised home office.
1. Separate your living and working spaces
When working at home, it's vital that there's a clear divide between work and play. Designate an entirely independent working space for yourself, away from the distractions of everyday life. Ideally this space should be in a quiet corner of your home, where family members won't regularly wander through.
2. Declutter your home office
A clear space is essential for efficiency when working at home. This means taking a hard line on clutter. Invest in items that can help with your home organisation, such as box files, ring binders and perhaps a stylish leather desk pad to avoid garish post-it notes or endless memo pads.
3. Get artistic
Working at home gives you the opportunity to craft your own productive space, so make the most of this chance to decorate entirely to your preference. Experiment with hanging different pieces of art and repaint to liven up tired and bare walls. This room only needs to put a smile on one person's face, so focus on home office furniture that pleases you.
4. Embrace natural light
Lighting is an important consideration for any room in your home, especially your home office. Most work involves intense periods of looking at a screen or a page, so bright natural lighting stops you straining your eyes too. Make sure your home office has plenty of natural light during the daytime, and add a few table lamps to add a warm glow on darker days or during evening work sessions.
5. Bring nature indoors
House plants are an easy way to bring in some colour and a fresh feel into your home office. Choose your office plants wisely by opting for shade-loving species and avoiding types that require a lot of maintenance.
6. Store some healthy snacks
Hunger can provide an excellent excuse for a distracting trip to the kitchen. Set aside a drawer or a cupboard in your office for healthy snacks like nuts and dried fruits. This way you can keep going without unnecessary interruptions to your workflow.
7. Keep it clean
The occasional big clean is always a good thing, but it's just the beginning when it comes to healthy space management. Try to keep your working environment clean as you go to keep your work haven free of distractions. It might not sound attractive, but setting aside some time to clean up your office at the end of the day means you can start each morning with a clean slate.

Your book is your baby. We get it. That's why we know how hard it is to objectively edit your work. But just because it's a hard step in the process, doesn't mean you can ignore it. It's important to find a way to remove yourself enough from your work in order to get a clear, outsider's view.
In that spirit, here are some tips for editing your novel:
1) Walk away. Not forever, but it's incredibly important to read your novel with some fresh eyes. Even a week away will allow you some critical distance that you can use to help edit and see your whole structure better.
2) Destroy your little darlings. We all love the cute little sentences we've written, that flowery prose that convinces us we're just the most talented writers we know. Guess what? This is hard to admit, but those pretty little darlings of yours are probably not so great. Beautiful moments in literature often emerge from simple descriptions and observations on the human and natural world — anything too convoluted will reek of trying just a little too hard. Keeping it simple doesn't mean eliminating beauty.
3) Enlist trusted friends and editors. This could be the scariest moment of editing. The world has not yet seen your masterpiece, and this is the first step. And boy, is it a rough one. Your trusted editors and friends will be reading a piece of fiction that hasn't yet been seen by other eyes. They will be of great assistance, pointing out flaws in grammar, continuity, and things that downright just don't work. Inversely, they will also let you know what parts are great, where you shouldn't change a thing, and how much they like it. It's a quick dive into a cold pool, but for your novel's sake, you have to do it.
4) Enlist professional services. Start with the Editorial Quality Review, in which, "a professional copy editor will review your book and provide a diagnostic tool of invaluable advice regarding the editing needs of your book. This service also includes a helpful 5-8 page sample edit to illustrate the level of edit recommended for your book."Follow up with a Copy Edit Service.

Every major award however, must include the following:

- A clearly defined purpose which differs in some way from another, already created/nominated award
- A name and short abbreviation (usually an acronym) which doesn't conflict with any other awards
When voting for an award, the following must be decided:
- What is the awards rank number?
- What is the final image for the award?

You have won the Uncyclopedia No Bell Prize. We don't know why the hell you got this, but you should be damn grateful for it! Instead of an actual award that demands merit, this is, simply put, a vote for nothing that anyone can get. Nominate anyone you want and top votes gets it. It's basically just a senseless "piece of flair" to put on your profile. Much like most of Wikipedia's awards and medals. I don't do Photoshop, I'm just a writer. But I think the award should be blank, plain white, with just the text and an empty picture. --JohnQ.Public 13:50, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

It's a tough reality, but many men and women who have served our county have a difficult time finding jobs as they integrate into the civilian workforce. According to the Labor Department, the unemployment rate for veterans is 6 percent and 650,000 are jobless. As a veteran myself, these statistics are a hard pill to swallow. Often veterans are more than qualified to obtain employment because their military leadership experience can set them apart. Veterans are typically characterized as team players who are most often appreciated for their organizational skills, highly developed sense of ethics and ability to remain calm under pressure.
To overcome this unfortunate employment hurdle, the Leveraging Military Leadership Program offers executive coaches and talent management experts to help transitioning veterans communicate and apply their leadership skills to the civilian sector. The effort is led by the Exelis Action Corps, the corporate volunteer service program of aerospace company Exelis, in partnership with talent consultancy Korn Ferry and the nonprofit organization Points of Light.
The Leveraging Military Leadership Program is a free four-month development program that helps recent military veterans obtain top civilian leadership positions. Veterans of any rank who have left service within the last two years or will transition in the next six months are eligible to participate.
Explaining the value of military experience can be hard for some veterans, and similarly, hiring managers may have trouble understanding how military experience translates to the civilian workforce. One aspect of the program is to help participants articulate their differentiated value.
These leadership development services mirror the ones Korn Ferry offers to boards of directors, CEOs and senior business executives, but are tailored for military experience. The program was designed to help veterans hone their communication skills and civilian career strategy.
The first session, in 2013, featured three days of onsite instruction, group exercises and lectures by global leadership experts and senior executives. Participants ranged from junior enlisted to senior officer ranks in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force. The program will convene three times this year in the Washington metro area. In the future, the program will target areas with a strong military and veteran presence.
Participants have made considerable sacrifices for our country, and it's a privilege and duty to offer in exchange an opportunity to engage in a professional experience focused on accelerating their successful career transition. Following the program, veterans will be well-prepared to enter the civilian workforce with a focused and strategic vision, which will also benefit their employers and the economy as a whole.
Applications for the next group of veterans are due April 16, and the form can be found at this link. Participants will be selected and notified by May 5. The Leveraging Military Leadership Program kicks off with an onsite session in the Washington area June 20 through 22.
Erica Jeffries is the chief inclusion and diversity officer at Exelis.

IRONMAN Rookie: Thomas Stephan
"I am not hungry for food but for life"
In February 2010, Thomas W. Stephan weighted 230 kg. After a discussion with a friend he decided to change his life and lost 150 kg in only 18 months. Now, his next goal is the IRONMAN European Championship.
Thomas, your story is amazing. How did everything start?
Thomas Stephan In the past, when I was "fat", I suffered from discrimination and was unsecure. The need to justify myself is part of my life until now. In February 2010 a very good friend told me "you don't need to lose weight for me". But it was just this sentence, that had such an emotional effect, that changed my life. And it was this moment, that made me change my mind and let me bring my old life behind me.
You lost 150 kg in only 18 months. How did you achieve this?
I only ate when I felt hungry and stopped when I was full. I completely changed my diet and threw all sweets. I didn't check my weight – I just tried to listen to my body. Today, I enjoy eating and feel like a new person. I am not hungry for food but for life.
How did you develop your passion for sports?
At first, it was just curiosity, the passion for movement, that my new life brought with it. I started running bit by bit. I liked it very much and wanted to find out gradually what was possible. In 2013, I had three goals: a life guard certificate, an Olympic distance and a marathon. At my first marathon in Frankfurt my goal was to cross the Main twice. Proud and with tears in my eyes I made it! Just a year earlier this would have been impossible. In 2012 I finished my first marathon in 4:43:43.
And this made you feel hungry for more?
My motto is "only the one who wants the impossible will tap the full potential". Only in April 2013 I learned how to swim correctly. In the summer I took part in 4 competitions in 6 weeks only, between others I competed in my first middle distance.
How did you get prepared for the races?
I am part of a triathlon swim team of a Frankfurt swimming club. My first bike was an old trekking bike. Shortly before my first triathlon I visited the bike shop of Patrick Behrens, a triathlete, who asked me if I really wanted to compete with this bike. Since I didn't have another bike, he offered me to use his own old carbon bike. I was completely stunned, many thanks to Patrick!
How do you feel as you prepare for the IRONMAN European Championship?
Very emotional. It is something between megalomania and desperation, since I can't even say if I will make it. My goal is to finish at the Römer before the finish line cut-off. I am very much looking forward to this race, the atmosphere and the spectators. Only three years ago, nobody – even myself – could imagine, that I would ever be able to race an IRONMAN. To me, every single meter of this race is a miracle that I will enjoy, no matter about the result.

askforhelp.org: Peter Rodger, father of Elliot Rodger, has launched a website and blog called askforhelp.org. The site provides links to mental health resources and allows people to share their stories around asking (or not asking) for help. The idea is to start breaking down the stigma of asking for help in our society.
Women More Likely than Men to Seek Mental Health Help: Women with chronic physical illnesses are 10 percent more likely to seek support for mental health issues than men with similar illnesses, according to a new study. The study also found that women tend to seek out mental health services months earlier than men. Researchers looked at people diagnosed with at least one of four illnesses: diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Of people diagnosed with these conditions, women were not only more likely than men to seek mental health services, but they also used medical services for mental health treatment six months earlier than men in any three-year period. The findings, published in the British Medical Journal's Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health, may mean that women feel more comfortable seeking mental health support than men or that men delay seeking support. The study could also imply that symptoms are worse among women, which would encourage more women to seek help and to do so sooner. (TIME, 6/26/14)
1 in 10 Deaths among Adults Tied to Excessive Drinking of Alcohol—CDC: Excessive drinking contributes to nearly one in 10 deaths among working-age adults, an analysis by the Centers for Disease Control finds. Among 20- to 64-year-olds, nearly 10 percent of all mortality from 2006 to 2010 was attributable to excessive drinking. That averaged out to 87,798 deaths annually from binge drinking, or from having more than 14 drinks a week for men or eight a week for women, researchers reported in the journal Preventing Chronic Disease. (HealthDay News, 6/26/14)
Kids with ADHD More Likely to Abuse Drugs—Analysis: Children suffering from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are more than twice as likely to try and abuse drugs, a new analysis finds. But the finding does not mean that the medications that are prescribed to treat ADHD play a part in that increased risk. Researchers, whose finding is published in the journal Pediatrics, say that treating ADHD both with behavioral techniques and medications seems to lower the risk of substance use. It is possible that the same biology that causes ADHD also puts some children at a higher risk for substance use, they say. Other social factors, such as struggles in school, may also contribute to the increased risk. (HealthDay News, 6/30/14)

Children Born to Women after Fertility Treatment at Greater Risk of Psychiatric Disorders: Children born to women who received fertility treatments have a higher risk of psychiatric disorders than naturally conceived children, a new study finds. The increase in risk was described as "modest" by researchers from Denmark, but was found to persist throughout childhood and into young adulthood. For the study, researchers analyzed data taken from a register of Danish children born from 1969 to 2006. There were a total of 2,430,826 births. Five percent, or 124,384, were born to women who had fertility issues and the remaining 95 percent were born to women who had no problems getting pregnant. All of the children were followed for a median of 20 years until 2009. Overall, 170,240 children had been hospitalized due to some psychiatric disorder. Children who were born as a result of fertility treatments had a 33 percent greater risk of having any defined mental illness, such as schizophrenia and psychoses, affective disorder and anxiety. The researchers added that the risk of psychiatric disorders was modest. However, the risk was long-term, from childhood into adulthood. (The Guardian, 6/30/14)

As it stands, basketball gamers don't have a lot of choice year-to-year. You can either buy NBA Live, NBA 2K, or both, or stick with an older release. Alternatively, you could not play basketball video games at all, but if that's the case, you're not exactly relevant to this discussion; no offense. While I wouldn't be against another developer throwing their hat into the ring with a sim-oriented NBA game, I'm not sure that we necessarily need that to happen. I think that we basketball gamers will be alright as long as NBA 2K continues to do its thing, and NBA Live makes some big strides this year.
Of course, there's always room in the market for other types of basketball video games. This includes full-blown arcade basketball titles, or perhaps sim-oriented games that focus on different leagues. Cheaper digital releases that focus on mini-games and the like. Resurrections of popular old properties, as controversial as that practice can sometimes be. As you can probably guess, I have a few possibilities in mind; without any further ado, here are five basketball video games that I'd like to see developed.

Follow the daily life of Binchou-tan, a chibi-sized girl who lives alone in an isolated, old house in the mountains. While she may be poor (the house she lives in has holes in the roof and is very old, she has an old sheet with a hole in it, and does not own many possessions), Binchou-tan lives life to the fullest. She gets up, gathers what she needs from the nearby fields, and pays for transportation from various animals with seeds, and acorns. Rice is the only thing Binchou-tan can not provide for herself, so whenever she needs a fresh supply, she must travel to the nearby (1930's-style) village to do odd jobs in order to obtain rice. This is the a look at Binchou-tan's life on a day-to-day basis and that of her friends.

Some wordsmiths wield their lexicological powers like an angry red pen, rooting out errors and marking them for all the world to see. (We're talking to you, Grammar Police. Even as we count ourselves among your 24,474 Facebook fans.)
Others, like Rod Evans, are laughing all the way to the dictionary. And the eighteenth book deal.
"Tyrannosaurus Lex: The Marvelous Book of Palindromes, Anagrams and Other Delightful And Outrageous Wordplay" (Perigree) is Evans' latest—and possibly wittiest—celebration of the English language.
"I consider the book, to some extent, an exuberant excess," Evans says. "It's the Lady Gaga of wordplay books."
Evans is our favorite kind of language lover, in that he delights in its possibilities, its evolution, its liveliness.
"I don't get upset about people playing with language," he says. "I wish people would play with it more."
In its 262 pages, "Tyrannosaurus Lex" includes the following:
•"Piano Words," words whose letters can all be played as notes on an instrument: (baggage, defaced, beaded, caged).
• "Dennis and Edna Sinned: Palindromes" (Do geese see God?; A man, a plan, a canal, Panama; My gym taxes sex at my gym; and Dr. Awkward, who Evans says is an actual professor at the University of Michigan).
• "Musical Mondegreens," in which Evans lists commonly misunderstood song lyrics. (Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" sounds like "Slow-talking Walter, the fire-engine guy." It's actually "Smoke on the water and fire in the sky." Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" sounds like "Hold me closer Tony Danza." It's actually "Hold me closer tiny dancer." Simon and Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence" sound like "Silence like a casserole." It's actually "Silence like a cancer grows.")
Evans' favorite part of the book is inspired by paging through the phone book. He lists more than 400 "outlandish" names found on the people search engine zabasearch.com, each of which is officially linked to a phone number and mailing address.
Ben Dover from Alexander City, Ala.; Anita Plummer from Connersville, Ind.; Al Dente from New York, NY; Bud Light from Chelsea, Ala.
"Wordplay is democratic," Evans says. "You don't have to have a doctorate to enjoy it." (Though he happens to have one, in philosophy, from the University of Virginia.)
Which is the beauty of the book—it's smart and a smidge sophomoric, without crossing into juvenile.
"Nobody makes the alphabet dance more brilliantly and entertainingly than Rod Evans," raves no less than prolific and revered author Richard Lederer, on the book's cover.
And on June 5? Evans is booked on Mancow Muller's satellite radio show. So. Yeah, democratic.

Video Rebel's Blog – August 29, 2011
This could also be entitled Germans Learn To Say No To Bankers.
I made a promise to my friends years ago to tell them when I saw Financial Armageddon coming. Consider yourself warned.
The Bundestag (German Parliament) will probably vote against Chancellor Angela Merkel's Bailout for the banks which have been sold falsely as bailing out Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Ireland. This has been announced by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard who is one of the most widely read columnists (by billionaires) in the world. Anything he says will instantly travel around the globe.
As soon as the Germans get back from their August vacations, the Bundestag will vote on the policies of Angela Merkel which are really the policies of the European banks led by the Rothschilds. She grew up in East Germany. Her father was a Lutheran pastor but had so many privileges granted to him by the officially atheistic Communist government that we can only conclude he set an example of betrayal to his daughter at an early age.
One of the people leading the campaign against her policies is her mentor former Chancellor Helmut Kohl. She also faces stiff opposition from her coalition partners the Free Democrats a far Right party. The Free Democrats have 93 seats in the 622 member Bundestag. Merkel only has 239 party members in the 622 seat Parliament so the vote looks good for Germany and bad for the bankers.
As I explained previously in Hugo Chavez, Gold Runs, Bank Runs and Bank Holidays that each euro note is clearly marked to reveal the nation that printed it. This means that when, not if, the Italians, Greeks, Portuguese and Spaniards drop out of the euro, their people will be given lira, drachma, escudos and pesetas and their purchasing power will be cut 50% overnight. As I said, the Europeans are on vacation until next weekend. At that time, the average man in the street will realize his time is short and everyone will be trying to get out of euros. Europe will be a political and financial bedlam in September.
After the euro collapses, there might be a call for an international conference to reset the values of all currencies and give up as much national sovereignty to the IMF as possible. The dollar will be cut 50% in value and Americans will get their budget dictated to them from the IMF. This conference will be held when the bankers think the time is right.
A few update news items: Ben Bernanke said he wanted Zero Interest Rates for two more years. Translation: He wanted the banks to be able through low interest rates to make the trillions of dollars in bad assets they still have on the books to appear small. Zero Interest Rates also allow his friends like Blythe Masters at JP Morgan to borrow money by the hundreds of billions, invest in commodity futures and make you buy it back at higher prices. 39% higher this year than last.
This item just in: European banks borrowed zero euros from the European Central Bank (ECB) overnight but their deposits soar by 17.2 billion euros since yesterday. Only 3 sources for this much cash: the Rothschilds, the drug cartels who did help out in 2008 and Ben Bernanke's printing press. Gold and silver were down today. I think they want to discourage investors in Europe from fleeing out of the euro. If I were a European, I would regard the Fed's manipulation of bullion prices as a gift and flee out of Italian. Spanish and Greek euros.
The problem with all these Bailouts is that they are not cancelling debts. In fact they are increasing the amount of unpayable debts by tens of trillions of dollars.
When Hugo Chavez demanded his 211 tons of gold back, he also shifted his money from US and English banks to Russia and China. I assume he does not want to join Gaddafi in Zimbabwe.
JP Morgan owes Mr Chavez 10 tons of gold. They just got less than a third of a ton of gold from HSBC. To date he has not received any gold. This has spooked the markets. The US and UK governments lease gold as I have said before. They give a certificate to a bank like JP Morgan which sells that certificate five times which appears on the balance sheets of six banks as gold bullion but it isn't gold. It is paper. This is all well and good until someone like Chavez asks for his gold deposit back.
The important point is that as Jeff Christian said in testimony before the CFTC there is between 50 and 100 ounces of paper for every ounce of physical bullion. That is called leverage and is wonderful on the way up. But deleveraging is a killer on the way down. When Chavez demanded his 211 tons of gold bullion, he forced the bankers to deleverage out of thousands of tons of paper gold.
Silver News Update.
I am more bullish on silver than gold. There is more gold out there to be bought. Silver is a much smaller market. Silver and gold are being subject to market manipulation which costs the Federal Reserve hundreds of billions of dollars to cover. When silver breaks through 53 dollars an ounce the manipulation will die as the FED has to pay JP Morgan, HSBC, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs to cover their short positions. At that point, silver should have no resistance and skyrocket to 75 or 85 dollars an ounce. The manipulation of the physical silver market by the sale of paper silver will be stopped dead cold by investors demanding delivery of their silver and gold.
Personally, I think silver will take off by November and possibly sooner.

Get Keyword Rank Data from Google Webmaster Tools
Matt McGee's post on Search Engine Land last Wednesday "Google's New Referrer String Includes Ranking Data (At Least For Now)" made me think about a lot of the SEOs I know. It's a great post, with a lot of valuable information. Not to mention the great comment from WebShare, with detailed instructions how to set up an advanced GA (Google Analytics) filter to track the Rank Data in the referrer string. (I'm testing out the filter with a couple of heavily trafficked clients to see if it lives up to its claims.)
How many SEOs Really Check Their Web Logs?
The problem is, that most SEOs and SEMs I know:
a) have no idea how to check their web logs, and have probably never checked that raw data. Ever.
b) have installed Google Webmaster Tools, if for no other reason, to submit a complete XML sitemap to Google.
The short answer is that not many do. Perhaps Matt's post will motivate a few more to open up that data, or at the very least find it. And if you still don't have any desire to open up the Web Logs, then I offer another solution.
Use Google Webmaster Tools "Top Search Queries" to Get Rank Data
It's all there, you just have to take the time to sort it out (literally) in Excel.
1) Find the "Top Search Queries" link in Webmaster Tools:
2) The Raw Webmaster Tools Data File (Un-Sorted)
Looks nearly unusable, right? And, to be truthful, it can be a bit intimidating unless you know what you're looking for in that rat's nest of data.
3) Get Your Sort On
It depends on what target audience you're looking to identify, but to keep it simple we'll sort for "WEB SEARCH" and in the "United States".
4) Finding Percentage of Clicks and the Position in the SERPs
While it's much more "manageable" now, that's still leaves a DaVinci-esque code to be broken. What does all that data mean, and more importantly, how do I know?
Here's a sample string from the spreadsheet above (marked to distinguish):
[water brake dyno (a), 2% (b), 6 (c)]
a ) is the keyword term search and/or clicked on by the user
b) Still on the fence for this stat. Could be the percentage the term is searched (which doesn't seem likely). Or it is the popularity of the term in conjunction with the other keywords in the grouping. And, you'll notice that all the percentages add up to 100%, which leads me to believe that my latter assertion is more than likely correct.
c) is the position in SERPs. Yes it's true. Test for yourself. Open up the data in webmaster tools and, without being logged into your Google account, search for the term in question. You'll find, 9 times out of 10, this is exactly where the term is*.
*My only caveat to "C" is that is seems to be taken at a "snapshot". On the terms I've looked at, the position is up or down one. But other than that, it's fairly accurate.
So, if you don't feel comfortable checking web logs, or just don't want to go through the hassle, Google Webmaster Tools will also provide the same data.
Apr 20 2009
Why do you need Excel. all the data is on the Top search queries page for the top 20 terms. Which is same data you are downloading?
Jun 6 2009
Hi Matt,
Liked this article, loved the one on Big Brands.
Here is the list clarified direct from WT:
Each table contains the following columns:
* #: The ranking of the search query.
* %: The percentage of the top 100 queries represented by each query. For example, if the top 100 queries represent 1,000 user searches, and those users searched for cheeseburger recipe 270 times, that query would represent 27% of the total number of searches for the top 100 queries.
* Query: The search terms used.
* Position: The highest position any page from your site ranked for that query, averaged over the last week. Since our index is dynamic, this may not be the same as the current position of your site for this query.

Nice article and also very interesting way to understanding the topic. I liked your post very much. Interesting!!! I think now is the best algorithm for sites to ranking. Because keyword relevancy is the most important thing while deciding to ranking. Thanks

I became interested in credit unions and cooperatives because they are business models that promote economic justice. I was looking for alternatives to the traditional banking system that today appears solely to focus on profits over people. Somewhere along the line the traditional banking industry stopped using sound financial principles and gambling became common practice.
I am not here to demonize banks. I am to here to speak about opportunity and choice. I think we are sitting in the middle of a pivotal moment in history where a social movement, Occupy Wall Street, has grown around ideals similar to the principles and values of credit unions and cooperatives. Millions of young people are becoming attracted to and invested in the idea of cooperation. These young people are taking a critical look at their careers and opting for a position that has a component of social good instead of just compensation.
What I see is that there are younger generations of people who understand that credit unions and cooperatives are viable financial institutions and business models. I believe the credit union and cooperative movement is growing and maybe doubling in size over the next five to 10 years due to this movement. My hope is that the credit unions and cooperatives see the intrinsic value in this movement and these young people.
This generation believes that credit unions and cooperatives espouse ideals of democracy and equity, the foundation of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Furthermore, they understand that these models have the potential to rebuild and grow our economy and to serve the underserved. In my short lifetime, I have never seen a movement of this kind with such momentum and spirit. This momentum can be cultivated, and I believe it can help sustain the credit union industry.
Collaborating with younger generations that believe in the cooperative models is vital to the sustainability of the credit union industry.
The Occupy Wall Street movement is nothing to fear or to discredit. It is an opportunity to connect with like-minded people across the country that are looking for innovation, solutions and answers to the economic problems plaguing the nation. Cooperatives and credit unions have some of the answers, but if no one attempts to work with these young people, then I believe the future does not look too bright.
