HOUSTON, April 17, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pinot's Palette, the premium, upscale paint and sip franchise known for providing guests with an entertaining evening of art and wine, has announced eight new franchise agreements in the first quarter 2014: The company will continue to expand its presence in California with locations in Thousand Oaks and the San Fernando Valley, and also in Buffalo, New York and Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. The expansion includes franchise agreements in Wisconsin and Maryland, two new states for the brand.
"We are thrilled to add Appleton, Wisconsin and Columbia, Maryland to our growing list of franchise locations," said company CEO Craig Ceccanti. "It's always exciting when we have the opportunity to bring the Paint and Sip experience to an entirely new market."
Ceccanti also noted that two of the eight new franchise agreements were signed by existing franchisees planning to open additional studios.
"There's nothing more encouraging than when one of our current franchisees comes to us and says, 'I want to open a second – or even a third – studio,'" he said. "It's a clear sign that Pinot's Palette has a healthy, scalable business model and a sustainable franchise network – and that our franchisees truly love what they do."
Pinot's Palette got another "clear sign" of franchisee satisfaction earlier this year when the company was included on Franchise Business Review's "Best of the Best: Top 200 Franchises" list for 2014.
"We're very proud to be included in the 'Best of the Best' list," said Ceccanti. "This is a very prestigious award, and it speaks to the fact that, even as we continue to grow, we are able to provide top-notch support to our franchisees."
The company's popularity amongst business owners is due partly to the wide variety of support options offered, from helping franchisees choose the right location to guiding them through the studio build-out process. Pinot's Palette also provides new franchisees with opportunities to participate in mentoring programs.
Since the first Houston-area studio opened in 2009, Pinot's Palette has expanded into 29 states in more than half of the country's 50 top markets. The company plans to award 40 new franchise locations by the end of the year.
About Pinot's Palette

Chicago has a bunch of great neighborhoods and they're well connected with the L train. Each one offers something slightly different and there are plenty of hotels to choose from, which can seem a daunting task. I know it felt like one for me. Thankfully some lovely ladies came through and pointed me in the right direction. I thought it only fair to share their tips with you.
Freehand – This hotel/hostel is located in River North, one of Chicago's neighborhoods in the heart of the action. The hotel offers a mix of private rooms and dorm-style beds, so I expected it to have the typical hostel feel. Not at all. It is a trendy, bohemian boutique hotel with a front desk service that feels more like a concierge. The staff are super helpful, especially if you pop up with no real plans like I did.
I booked a private queen bedroom for $92 a night. No stellar view but the Magnificent Mile was just blocks away and Millenium Park was a 10 minute walk south. Grab breakfast at Café Integral downstairs, try a pumpkin doughssant at the Westtown Bakery to the right, eat your heart out with a glass of wine in hand at Eataly to the left and kick your feet up at the Berkshire Room two doors down for a custom-crafted cocktail. Really, it's going to be hard to go anywhere with a set up like this. Thank Debbie B. for the rec!
Hotel Indigo – This boutique hotel recommended by Brittany T. is located in the pretty Gold Coast neighborhood, slightly north of the city center action. I've stayed at a Hotel Indigo in Baton Rouge and really enjoyed it. The location is a bit farther removed from the sites but easily accessible (ubers and lyfts to River North are under $10), and it offers a great middle ground if you plan to spend some time exploring the Lincoln Park, Lakeview and Wrigleyville areas in addition to the city center sites. Rates were starting at $94 a night when I visited.
Airbnb – Renting a room, or house, is always a great way to see the city from a local's perspective. Especially if you are sharing a home with them during your stay. Amy C. was nice enough to offer her gorgeous room in Pilsen for my stay, but somebody beat me to booking! It's a great deal for around $60 a night.
Chicago local Ilana O. kindly recommended the following neighborhoods as well.
Lakeview – As its name suggests, this neighborhood offers stunning view of the lakefront. It's home to many of Chicago's young professionals so I spent a good amount of my time exploring this area with local friends. It's an easy train ride from River North or a quick cab ride (mine was about $15). Explore nearby Wrigleyville and Boyston while you're in the area.
Old Town – Located between Lincoln Park and Gold Coast, this neighborhood is also a good middle ground for those wishing to be close to but not in the city center.
Streeterville – Like River North, this neighborhood is located in the middle of the action, making it a major tourist destination.
The Loop – I feel like I should also mention the Loop because if you are heading to Chicago you are going to hear the name a lot. It is where all the lines on the L train come together in a loop and it houses the central business district of the city, including The Sears Tower. It's where you'll find The Bean, Millenium Park and a number of recognizable hotels.

Oil And Gas Industry in China
China is the world's second largest consumer of oil and gas, but only the sixth largest producer of the same. This disparity between supply and demand has been highlighted recently by a domestic fuel dearth that temporarily shut down businesses and has caused long lines at gas stations. It had been reported that China will account for over 37% of the Asia-Pacific regional oil demand by 2015, and this has already begun to show as there has been a rapid increase in imports of oil recently. In terms of natural gas, the scenario is no different, as demand exceeds supply in this case as well. The shortage has also been driven by some local governments cutting power to meet the energy-saving targets outlined in the central government's 11th Five-Year Plan. Numerous factories, unable to operate without electricity, fired up diesel-powered electric generators. The months-long diesel shortage has just recently begun to subside as China's oil refiners have increased production to record levels and ramped up imports. Import levels of more than 50% are widely considered an energy security alert. With China's oil and gas consumption rising at an average of 7.5% per year in recent times, domestic suppliers will need to boost their output to meet China's massive energy needs and reduce the nation's reliance on oil imports. http://www.bharatbook.com/market-research-reports/energy-market-research-report/oil-and-gas-industry-in-china.html
The technology to improve the efficiency and productivity of oil and gas companies has existed for years and is now gaining serious traction in China as the country becomes increasingly industrialized and its oil reserves are depleted and becoming more challenging to extract. business research It has been highly anticipated that Chinese oil production will experience a shrink of almost 8.5% between the period of 2010-2020. Crude volumes are likely to go soaring in 2013, but would come back down by 2020. However, gas production is expected to rise, but it still will not be enough to contain the ever increasing demand in China. This has led to China joining many Western nations in establishing strategic petroleum reserves to provide a buffer against disruptions in the supply of imported crude oil. It is also looking forward to adopt methods to increase its domestic output of oil and gas. It is certainly hoped that it will be able to meet the demands through imports, if not by its own reserves. In this industry scenario, Taiyou Research analyzes the Oil and Gas Industry in China. The report covers the following:
• An overview of the energy industry in Asia Pacific, including a market profile, supply and demand scenario for oil, natural gas, and the market for LNG in the region.
• An analysis of the energy industry in China.
• An analysis of the oil and gas industry in China, including a profile of the oil refineries in China, oil storage facilities in China, oil pipelines in China, LNG terminals in China, gas storage facilities in China along with the gas pipelines, as well as a profile of the coal-to-liquids projects and coal-to-gas projects in China.
• Regulations impacting the oil and gas industry in China are analyzed. Some of the regulations analyzed include the various licensing rounds, the regulations of the Chinese government on fuel and gas prices, extension of the resource tax reform, and China's energy relations with other countries.
• Competition in the industry is analyzed, followed by an analysis of the major industry players. For the major players in the oil and gas industry in China, we analyze the company overview, business segments, financials, presence in the industry, company strategies, a SWOT analysis and recent developments.
• Industry forecast includes and outlook for oil and gas demand in China, outlook for oil and gas reserves, natural gas supply and demand forecast, forecast for LNG and unconventional gas resources, outlook for the trade of oil products and the refining sector, outlook for import costs, and a forecast for other energy segments. Future challenges that may impact the forecast for the industry are also discussed, along with a forecast for the region's oil and gas industry. Taiyou Research's report on the Oil and Gas Industry in China is a complete profile of an industry that is on the track to become a force to reckon with in the global energy industry.

I realize it is all part of my own growth and learning process. Letting go, just isn't easy for me. I often feel the emotional entanglements of everything going on around me. I often feel what others feel to the degree that sometimes it clouds my own comprehension of what is going on within me. I know that and I get it, but sometimes it doesn't make it any easier.
A recent situation came up and it was one of those that could have easily taken me under. I really tried not to shield myself from what was going on and staying engaged with it, but I tried to not become emotionally attached to it. Letting go was something I was working on.
This doesn't mean I don't have compassion or I don't care. Quite the opposite! It means that I want to be there for those that need that extra dose of help, but I am taking care of myself. I'm making sure I don't get consumed by the fire, because if I do, I can't be there for anyone else.
I believe for the first time, that I may just be figuring out how to approach these things in a healthy way. No, this isn't a mantra or feel good way to approach it. This is coming from my core and my own consciousness of what I have learned over the years. It is part of my own healing and getting rid of the chaff that remains in my own life.
It isn't about shielding myself and hiding from things in life that are uncomfortable. Its too easy to hide and disconnect from life, rather than going in and cleaning out the closets of life. Its too easy making new age concepts fit for your rather than being there truly for others. If you block yourself from being part of life, you're really not there for anyone.
All the intense healing work that I go through is aimed to help me truly rid myself of baggage that I (along with many others) carry through life. We all have it, even if we grew up in the best of circumstances. Each day we collect it or it gets dumped on us. The key though I believe, is to learn how to physically dump it from our life. Again, not just a feel good thought practice that does this.
Another situation came along as well that left me feeling hurt and angry. I acknowledged these things and then I was able to go in and say, here is what I will do - I'm not going to hold the energy of what transpired within me. If this business wants to act through their own ego and claim enlightenment, then that is their choice. It is my choice to not maintain a close relationship with them.
I can let go and its okay.
Their dysfunction doesn't need to be my dysfunction.

The children and the fruit tree
4 comments:
That is beyond adorable! And now makes me want to frolic amongst fruit trees..ReplyDelete
An early experiment combining the conventions of crime fiction with fantastical elements. My mother says on basis of painting style and various other details that this was from the winter I was three - the stationery was a frugal remnant of our time in London, the actual site of composition was suburban Wilmington, Delaware!ReplyDelete
I think it's safe to say I'm officially in love! Seriously though this brought a huge smile to my face. When I was little, I had a fascination with fruit and fruit trees. So much so that I'd tie candy from the branches of the lime and peach trees in our backyard when they weren't bearing fruit!ReplyDelete
(And, of course, I'd have to put new candy up every day since every night, the possums would swipe all the gummi bears and things I'd strung up.)ReplyDelete

'The Little Prince' passes from generation to generation and now to film
One of the best-selling books ever, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince has enchanted generations of children since first appearing in 1943.
As families worldwide get a first look at the film debut of "The Little Prince" via a trailer released on YouTube Monday, a wave of nostalgia may follow.
"One sees clearly only with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eye," says the fox to the Little Prince in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's French children's classic.
As I watched the trailer in French, a language I don't speak, it was hard to see what was in front of me on the computer screen because my heart took me back through a montage of how this book has followed me from childhood to motherhood and translated into my relationship with my eldest son.
"The Little Prince" is the first book I ever read all on my own.
My mother, who speaks fluent French, gave me the English version after reading the book to me in French with her own translations as she went along. I was about 6-years-old at the time.
I didn't understand the book very well then. However, over the years, from time to time, my mother would advise me to re-read it because, she said sagely, "You will find something new in this book every time you read it."
She was spot on.
Case in point is that in the book, the Little Prince asks the narrator to draw a sheep and rejects several attempts before the man gets so frustrated trying to please the boy that he tosses off a picture of what is essentially a box with holes in it in which the perfect sheep lives.
The Little Prince is thrilled with the result. The narrator in the book and I were equally perplexed when I was a child.
As an adult, I would learn that that passage in the book is parenthood and all of our daily interaction in a nutshell.
As a child, I preferred the drawings of the actual sheep and not the box, so I could not understand why the prince loved the box image so much.
Oh sure, he explained that everything on his planet was very small and this sheep would fit. However, until I had children of my own, I failed to really see the sheep in all its glory as a metaphor for beauty being in the eye of the beholder.
It's also a reminder to me not to overthink life so much. Sometimes we labor to make a perfect sheep when a box with holes will suffice.
As parents we try and find the perfect holiday gift only to find out worry and money were lost on a child who was better pleased with the big box in which to play for the next week.
That's because too often we can't really see what's in or child's mind quite as well as we think we can.
The book also teaches us that tame something and to be tamed by another doesn't mean being enslaved, but rather becoming "unique in all the world" to one another.
Sharing this book with my son made us at once tame and unique to each other and sometimes, to all the world.
When my oldest son, Zoltan, now 21, was just 4-years-old we lived on a sailboat in Florida and I read the Little Prince to him and his little brother, who was two at the time.
Zoltan got more out of it, being older.
Every day when we went to the beach he would take a stick and draw a "sheep" – a.k.a. a rectangle with several "holes" on the side in the sand. Ian would toddle over and accidentally kill the sheep as he tried to give them water through the holes,
Drawn by the constant sheep battle it never failed that someone would come and ask Zoltan if he was drawing LEGOS.
He would tell them they were sheep. Some would then sit and talk with him about "The Little Prince," while others smiled at me and asked if he'd been evaluated for a disorder.
To the latter I would say, "He's fine. He's just very well read."
Because the trailer for the film is in French – which I still don't speak – I contacted Zoltan at Virginia Commonwealth University, where he is currently a double major in International Justice and French, for a translation.
Over the course of a Facebook chat session before his exams, Zoltan took the time to do the same thing my mother once did for me as he translated the trailer's story.
When I asked if he remembered reading the book with me he said ,"I remember the title and not much else, but now I'm looking for it in French to read again when I can really appreciate it." So we all know what's going in his Christmas stocking as soon as I can get to a book store.
Then we chatted about what I remembered about the book and other things that have nothing to do with the book at all.
It was one of the best mommy moments I have had across the childhoods of four boys because it was as if I had gone off in my space ship to search the universe in search of friendship, love, and companionship and come to a place where it was there in a perfect box.
Reading with your children is the universe in a series of small packages that we can hand across generations, languages, and universes as we learn to see each other with our hearts wide open.

During our recent family holiday in May 2018, I have decided to ditch the lollipops and iPad which we usually brought along to pacify our kiddos during our 1-2 hours airplane ride. This time, I took the risk of introducing a new activity for our children which is - coloring!
Few days before our trip, I Googled around for free coloring pages worksheets for our children (robot and soldier related for our 9-year-old boy and princess related for our 6.5 and 4.5-years-old girls). I packed 2 cases of color pencils.
Picture below taken as the plane starts taking off and they were so engrossed with their coloring pages. None of the usual fuss of ear blocked, ear pressures etcetc. Win-win!
** Note: I have disabled the commenting feature on my blog engine thanks to all the spammers who happily spam my blog every day. If you wish to ask me any questions, you can find me at my Facebook page (I'm there almost every day) or just drop me an email if you wish to maintain some anonymity.
As a busy mum with 4 kiddos between 1.5year-old to 9-years old, I have started cutting down on doing product reviews to focus on our childcare and family life, home cooking, education, helping with hubby's administration site of the business and sharing informational articles on my FB fan page so I am only accepting and prioritizing products that can fit into our family dynamics (especially books on parenting or educational stuff, family products, something along those genre)! Today's post is my review on Gaston Luga, a Scandinavian minimalistic chic backpack.
About the company/products:
"The story of Gaston Luga and the minimalistic backpacks took its start during a trip to a new continent, where our founder Carl Sundqvist met an interesting Frenchman with an elegant and casual style. Gaston told Carl he believed a backpack is the optimal companion when discovering the world. Since he was a person keen of his style, he had put time and effort into finding something different from the regular school style. Finally he found himself an elegant Louis Vuitton, to which he had several modifications made. Making it more personal, functional and unique. Inspired after the meeting, Carl decided a few months later to create his own backpack brand with classic elegant style and practical details. Hopefully these would get to travel the world, just like Gaston.
Gaston Luga loved his elegantly custom-made piece. We understood the industry was lagging when it comes to what customers today want. Most products are designed with big fluffy shoulder pads, plastic materials and thin fabric, which brings thoughts back to the first day of school. It was important for Carl to create something he would wear himself and be proud of. The vision was to make a line with Scandinavian minimalism and elegance to suit all different occasions. As time went on, leather parts, thick quality cotton, metal details and a mix of carefully selected colors were put together and became the foundation of the new brand named after its predecessor, Gaston Luga."
I decided to go for Pråper - Navy & Brown for my review. Look at the picture from the website, how beautiful it is! What attracted me to this particular design is not just the unique color combination (not too masculine nor too feminine) it is the simplicity of its overall look.
I have mentioned earlier that as a busy mum with 4 kiddos, I really prefer using items that can pack as much items as possible as I'm often on the move with 4 kiddos. Now let's move on to the close-up pictures of the features on the backpack...
I had initially worried about the metal hooks as a mean to secure the backpack as I thought how can such a simple hook be able to keep the backpack flap secured and closed?! But boy oh boy, this backpack proves me wrong! I absolutely adored the strong metal hooks which is adjustable with 4 levels to suit my current packing need, even with a lot of stuff packed into the backpack I normally use the top 2 levels for the metal hook. It is so easy to hook and unhook, even with a single hand (believe me, with 4 kiddos around, I always have to carry one of younger kiddos so to be able to access the backpack with 1 hand is awesome news for me!)
The shoulder straps are expandable though I adjusted mine to the shortest (due to my 5' 3" height, I prefer my backpack snug to my body size). The dimensions of the backpack in cm is 30 x 42 x 15, I personally feel the size is just right for me. There is a passport pocket at the back of the backpack but because I am travelling with my family when I use the backpack, there's a total of 6 passports for us, so I can't use this pocket to store our bulky passports. I did keep some small plastic bags in this pocket.
There is an inner 13-15" laptop compartment as well as 2 smaller inner pockets inside the backpack which I used to store some disposable diapers, snacks and medicines for our kiddos. I also packed in some change of clothings as well as 2 water tumblers (around 1l and 1.5l in sizes). There is also portable fan as well as nursing covers for my toddler. Picture below shows how the backpack looks like, all stuffed for our family trip to Bangkok in late April 2018.
Yet, with so many things inside, I can still stuff in more things. Sometimes I wonder whether the backpack is some sort of black hole or something! Below are some rare pictures of yours truly using the backpack during our Bangkok travel. Right side picture is taken when we took the river boat to Koh Kret, a small man-made island in the Chao Phraya River, just north of Bangkok. Check out the water splashed on the backpack, no problem at all as it dries up real fast and doesn't affect the contents of my backpack.
To sum up my review, I absolutely enjoyed using this backpack!

As a busy mum with 4 kiddos between 1.5year-old to 9-years old, I have started cutting down on doing product reviews to focus on our childcare and family life, home cooking, education, helping with hubby's administration site of the business and sharing informational articles on my FB fan page so I am only accepting and prioritizing products that can fit into our family dynamics (especially books on parenting or educational stuff, family products, something along those genre)! Today's post is my review on PINKFONG Baby Shark Ice Cream!
I remembered when our older 2 kiddos were around 3-4 years old, they've enjoyed watching PINKFONG educational and fun apps on my iPad. It's amazing how fast they learned the phonics and sang along to the catchy tunes even as they mumbled along to the times tables multiplication songs! The Baby Shark song phenomena caught on in our kiddos live late last year and yes, just as catchy as the rest of their songs in the apps, this song caught their attention as well. So it was without a doubt that they were more surprised when they found out there is PINKFONG Baby Shark Ice Cream in the market now!
So I brought our kiddos along to give the ice cream a try and it was delicious!
The packaging is very easy to spot and the colours are reminiscent of the eye-catching app that our kiddos grew up with. Big 'PINKFONG Baby Shark' words can easily be seen on the ice cream packaging together with the shark and PINKFONG mascot.
The appearance of the ice cream at first impression was wow. Different from the other ice creams our kiddos have tried before. Pink strawberry ice cream with drizzles of chocolates all around the ice cream was very inviting and tempting. As you start licking the ice cream, the chocolate drizzles will melt and blend in with the strawberry cream and then you will realised there is a milky layer right in the center of the ice cream. What a surprise! Yum yums!
The verdict? Our kiddos enjoyed the ice cream very much! Creamy, not too sweet and just the right amount of strawberry with chocolate drizzles that satisfy their ice cream cravings once in a while. The ice cream portion is just nice for our kiddos as well.
The joy that started from our lips jiggled all the way to our hands and toes.. enough to get us dancing and singing to PINKFONG's latest song.. The PINKFONG Baby Shark Ice Cream song!
What more can we ask for?
The ice creams are available in-stores nationwide for only RM 1.90 a pop!
We bought ours from Family Mart. Go get them now!

Have you ever wondered if everything you want is on the other side of fear? Well, the guest on today's podcast thinks that almost everything worth having or achieving is indeed just outside your comfort zone.
The guest is Jack Canfield, the author who created Chicken Soup for the Soul. He wrote that book 25 years ago, in 1993, and there are currently 500 million copies of the book in print. He also has 40 New York Times bestsellers and he has had seven books on the New York Times list – at the same time – which set a Guinness World Record.
Dave and Jack talk about how important it is to take 100% responsibility for yourself, how to choose and use your language well (and avoid weasel words), plus how to conquer the fear of being wrong, and much more.

Show Notes
- Why Jack felt he needed to write The Success Principles book.
- "So here I am. I've sold millions of Chicken Soup for the Soul books. I'm living the life of Riley. All of a sudden I thought I had to share with people all these principles I've been applying."
- Where people look for success the most?
- What does real success fell like?
- "I used to say success was being able to produce whatever result you wanted in any area of your life, when you wanted it, as much as you wanted it. And now I say, success is fulfilling your soul's purpose. So, whether you're religious or spiritual or neither, you have some purpose. It's built into you, "
- "I can't imagine not writing. It's like asking a surfer, why do you keep surfing? It's like asking a golfer, why do you keep golfing? Because I love doing to. If I stop loving it, I'll stop doing it."
- How Dave and Jack use language and why they think it is important for them and their family.
- Why "the ego" isn't necessarily a bad thing.
- "I think there's another fear that if I engage in some of this, stuff might come up that's painful that I don't want to feel. A lot of the reasons we shut down these emotions and turn them into tension or pain in our body is because they were painful. "
- Why Jack thinks everyone was born with a purpose.
- Are Guardian Angels real?
- "I don't think there are things with wings flying around in the sky, but I do believe there are energetic forces that are on your side. "

Chip Chop
Chip chop chip chop all day long, with a great big pair of shears. After a couple of enthusiastic hours my left hand started involuntarily shaking due to the unfamiliar and intensely repetitious movement – and it didn't stop until two days later.
All this chopping / slicing / hacking was fun though, especially as I was simultaneously enjoying the invincibility of wearing wellies. However, at the end of the day the pond was looking barren and uninviting – empty apart from all these stunted stalks poking up through the surface.
But then I crouched down to take a closer look and everything changed. The colours came alive! The floating debris bestowed an abstract oriental feel. An extra dimension opened up as my gaze reached under the surface.
With a little close attention and a small change in position the pond transformed!

Description: ------------ If a base64 encoded string contains a non-needed "=" at the end of the string base64_decode returns false even though the string has been correctly decoded. The standard for base64 even specifies that a file may contain non-needed padding chars. http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3548.html - snip - Furthermore, such specifications may consider the pad character, "=", as not part of the base alphabet until the end of the string. If more than the allowed number of pad characters are found at the end of the string, e.g., a base 64 string terminated with "===", the excess pad characters could be ignored. - /snip - The fix is simple. In ext/standard/base64.c insert the following code: if (ch == base64_pad) { switch(i % 4) { case 1: efree(result); return NULL; case 2: k++; case 3: result[k++] = 0; } } in the base64_decode function. Notice that the only thing I did was remove "case 0:" on line 191. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $string=base64_encode("123456"); echo $string."\n"; //Insert a not-needed padding char. $string.="="; //This returns false even though $string is valid base64 var_dump(base64_decode($string)); ?> Expected result: ---------------- $string should been encoded to base64 and later decoded with 1 extra "=" added at the end. Actual result: -------------- PHP fails to decode the string properly.

The Key to Improving your Meetings: The 5-Minute Feedback Process
Meetings take up an incredible amount of an employee's productive time, on top of costing thousands of dollars. A 5-minute ROTI feedback system aims to give you the tools you need to consistently improve your meetings.
We've all been there: you're sitting in a grey meeting room just before lunch. The presenter is fiddling with the projector, trying to get their laptop to connect. It's 20 minutes past the start time of the meeting and with no agenda set, you might be in here for ten more minutes or for three more hours. In general, meetings suck. This issue is exacerbated by the fact that many teams become accustomed to the idea that meetings suck and don't strive to improve the system because this is just how it's done.
What's worse, is that unwieldy meetings consume a company's scarcest resource: time. A one-hour meeting of ten people eats up ten hours of productivity and costs ten times the average hourly rate in the room. Kept unchecked, this quickly starts costing thousands of dollars per hour wasted.
So how do we eliminate, or at least improve, this pervasive problem? Get feedback. How often? After every meeting. Why? As no two teams are alike, great meetings have a different definition for everyone. When? In the last 5 minutes of every meeting.
A study conducted by Allen et al. for the Management Research Review demonstrated that meeting attendees tend to enjoy meetings with a strong agenda in place well before the start of a given meeting more than those without. Naturally, this finding is coupled with the fact that meeting attendees dislike meetings that waste time, infringe on time that employees could have spent productively, and lack sensible structure. As a result, Allen et al. suggest that managers and individuals leading meetings should ask overtly about what attendees think about their meetings in order to identify areas for improvement.
But how do we achieve this goal? First, how do we get the honest feedback that is necessary to improve, and second, how do we act on this feedback in a way that will truly change the meeting environment for the better?
Obtaining Feedback
While the value of feedback cannot be understated, it is important to collect this feedback in a way that is productive. Launching into 30-minute discussions about potential changes at the end of a meeting, or sending out longwinded surveys to employees in the middle of the day, are methods that will only cause more distraction and result in more time wasted.
When obtaining feedback, make sure to include, as well as block off time for, this section of the meeting in the agenda sent out to all attendees. Crafting a strong agenda is a topic best left to its own article, but every attendee should be aware of this extra segment of the meeting beforehand. Furthermore, explicitly mention that you will be collecting feedback at the end of the meaning before you get started on the other agenda items.
Once it is time to collect feedback, either distribute a slip of paper and a pen to each of the meeting attendees or provide a link to an online survey (bonus points if you send this link in the agenda ahead of time for easy access). In an effort to reduce the work you will need to complete in order to analyze this information, make it a priority to ensure that everyone is using the same medium to submit feedback. Not only will a specific and well-thought-out process save you time, but it will also save time during the meeting itself (remember, the goal is to spend no more than 5 minutes on this).
In this article, we will discuss an incredibly simple, but effective, feedback survey type: the Return on Time Invested (ROTI) survey.
This feedback methodology has been around for a while and it consists of 3 questions.
Question 1:
On a scale of 0-4, rate how much return on time invested did you (the meeting participant) receive from this meeting? Each value from the scale means the following.
0 - There was no benefit gained from this meeting. It was a waste of time.
1 - Too much time was spent on this meeting, but there was some benefit to attending it.
2 - The meeting was alright, it was useful but it wasn't anything special.
3 - This was a valuable meeting. It was worth attending.
4 - This meeting was excellent! It was incredibly productive and was a great return on time invested.
Question 2:
What would it take to improve your answer above by one point?
Question 3:
What is one thing that you liked about the current meeting that you wish to see again next time?
The first question is a simple number response and the next two are to be answered with a single sentence. All-in-all, this process should take no longer than 5 minutes.
Now, armed with this knowledge, work to make one small change every meeting based on the feedback provided, and track how the feedback changes over time. Is the average rating going up? Are certain concerns going away and others being uncovered? Every team is different and it is up to you to manipulate the meeting process as needed to work towards optimally productive and effective meetings. Aim to make one change every meeting instead of making all of the changes at once because you don't want to overload your participants and create a significantly novel meeting environment. Building gradually over time will lead to stronger results.
This straightforward method is meant not only to make your meeting attendees happier with their meetings, but also to save time (and money!) overall, and stay on track with productive meetings.
Thank you for stopping by, and best of luck making your meetings awesome!

(great granddaughter)
My grandfather, L. G. Payne was the Sheriff during the flood and is mentioned in the above article. He went on to be County Judge, dying in office in 1924.
"Along towards dark as we were getting ready to go to bed, I asked the old woman if it wasn't going to storm, and she said, law yes, Honey. The clouds are just biling up in the west. The baby was crying to go to bed, and we went to bed, me putting the baby down at the foot, said Edmondson, introducing his narrative. Along in the night theAs Edmondson finished his story, tears fell from every eye in the little group of people, who had listened to his story in a dull monotone. Stolid mind people, many of whom had regarded a man who could weep as being soft, wiped the tears from their eyes with a big bandanna hankerchief.
old woman woke me up and asked me to go out and see about her crocks in the spring house, as the way it was raining, the creek would back up and the mill would be ruined. I was tired from working all day and sleepy and just plain trifling, too, I expect. I told her that a little milk wouldn't mind if it did get ruined for we had plenty more. But she said she didn't care about the milk but she didn't want to lose the crocks. I told her that they wouldn't likely wash away and I went back to sleep. I don't know how long I slept, but the old woman woke me up calling to me to save the baby. The lightning was flashing and thunder booming hot and the air was filled with the awfulest sounds I ever heard. I threw my feet from the bed and I was standing in water up to my knees. I moved toward the foot of the bed to get the baby. Just as I got there, I heard a roar like thunder right in my ears. I could hear trees and timbers smashing and then the flood struck us. The house groaned and gave way. I could see the ceiling coming down on us and then I didn't remember any more until I found myself floating down the flood on top of a house which supposed was my own as it had a new shingle roof. I don't know whether I was in my right mind or not. I thought I was then, but I doubt it now. I thought I heard a man's voice who I recognized as Bunk Ferguson because he had such a coarse, heavy voice. It seemed to me he was running down the bank trying to warn the people but I think now he was on some drift, floating the same as myself. How aI made that trip in safety, I will never know for I gave up and sank beneath the waters many times thinking it was all over. How far I floated on the housetop I can't say, but before long it struck something and turned over, throwing me under it. I felt it float off of me and as I came to the surface I struck a large timber and catching to it I thought I was safe at last for I knew it would float. As the lightning would flash, and it was almost steady, I could see houses, barns, trees, timbers and cattle floating on the flood which looked to be almost a mile wide.
Before I had gone far, my timber struck something and ended over, throwing me through the air. Again I was beneath the water. I could feel the debris, and logs and timbers as they struck my body or passed over head. Finally, when I rose to the top again, more dead than alive, I was so weak and exhausted I could scarcely move. Throwing my arms out wider for some support, I struck nothing except small boards which gave way beneath my hands and I went under again.
How far I was swept on under the water, no one can tell but directly I felt something solid passing over me and with a mighty effort I turned over and caught the edge of what was part of a room. It was about ten by twenty feet as near as I could judge in lightning flashes. As I crossed on the roof on my hands and knees my fingers in the cracks under the shingles to keep from being thrown off, I was thrown around by the whirling current. I was almost naked, had on nothing but the tattered rags of what had been a shirt when I had started and I was shivering from the cold which had numbed my body. As a flash of lightning came, I looked to the bank ahead about twenty feet away. I would have attempted to try to swim, but just as I let go my hold with my fingers the roof Iwas holding on turned quickly, throwing me far out into the stream. Hopelessly, I struck out for where I had seen the bank and by some miracle managed to keep afloat. I drifted with the tide trying as I went to get closer to the bank which I finally did. Seizing a small sapling, my body swung around against the bank. Though weak, I dragged my cut and torn body from the water and began to climb up the hill on my hands and knees. I did not know where I was b ut I imagain I had drifted ten or twelve miles, but I had gone only one mile and a quarter. Looking around, I could see by lightning flashes a house or a barn and I made my way there thinking I might get some clothes.
At the house I stumbed over a rake and concluded that it was a barn. I went inside thinking I could find some hay to cover up with and get warm but the barn was empty. In one of the mangers I found some large briers and course feed which the cattle wouldn't eat and I crawled into the trough, partly covering myself with dried weeds. Then I lost consciousness. The strain had been more than I could stand.
It was morning when I revived and climbing from the manger stiff and cold, my body cut and bruised and blood clotted. I felt weak and old. My mind was not clear, but I realized that I must have a pair of pants. On into the road I went and started up the hill in search of the house where the owner of the barn might live. Turning and looking back down the creek, I saw a house but did not recognize it. Nothing looked familiar to me. I saw a woman come from the house, and I hid behind a fence. Then I called and asked if any of the men folks were at home. A man came out and the woman went back to the house and I told the man I wanted some clothes. He said nothing but went back into the house and directly fetched a coat and a pair of pants. I put on the pants and he said, Crockett, put on that coat, too. Your're most froze. I put on the coat and looked up at him, for he called my by name and I didn't know him. He asked me if I didn't know him and I told him that I didn't. He said he was Dr. Carr's son-in-law and then I remembered him. I asked him who lived in the house below and told me that Dr. Carr lived there. I knew the place ordinarily but in my condition and with the changes the flood had made, I could not recognize anything. Directly I made my way back to Jim's here and haven't been able to do much since." (end of Crockett's personal testimony)
Those who saw the storm approach say that
two clouds came from opposite directions and apparently met over the district
of which Barren Creek is the water channel. The electrical display is beyond
description, and the water poured in torrents. While the rain began shortly
after eight o'clock Wednesday night, the destruction did not ensue until
about 2:30 a.m. Thursday. The watch of Crockett Edmondson was found a short
distance from his home and it had stopped at 2:38 a.m. Much suffering evidenced.
One who has not visited the scene cannot realize the suffering and privation which those unfortunate people have undergone and which they must, of necessity, undergo before the shaken conditions can be righted. All mills on the creek have been destroyed and those who were fortunate enough to save their corn and wheat have no place to get it ground. Those who have money with which to buy foodstuffs are unable to obtain supplies because of the conditions of the roads over which it is impossible to drive a horse in many places. Stores on the creek have been washed away and stocks of food which they contained have gone with them.
Many of the survivors are wearing borrowed clothes, having escaped in their night clothes or with none at all. Others have nothing to eat and are dependent upon their more fortunate neighbors who are striving with all their power to cope with the situation.
Homes are gone and in many cases the survivors lost all the money they had. Their fields are ruined and wagons and farm implements washed away and wrecked. Their stock is drowned.
Several of the citizens of Claiborne County have suggested that the county make a large appropriation for road work in the stricken section and give employment to all the destitute who are able to work on the roads as these must be rebuilt before much can be done toward the reconstruction of homes and mills. This suggestion seems to be finding favor and the county court may be called upon to make such an appropriation.
Even in the towns of Tazewell and New Tazewell, the pinch of need has been felt owing to the washout on Southern Railway and the inability of merchants to receive freight. The railroad is now transferring mail and passengers a few miles south of New Tazewell where the greatest damage was done to the road. Through a large fill fully 200 feet in width and 75 to 80 feet in depth washed out and the passengers must walk down through a ravine and cross temporary bridge and climb the opposite bank. Stalwart negroes carry the mail and such of the express as can be handled this way while passengers convey their own light baggage. This link in the road is expected to be repaired to such an extent that trains may pass over safely by Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, when the town can receive a supply of ice and other much needed supplies.
These are only a few of the stories that came out of that great tragedy. However, I feel that these are representative of what many people experienced during this trying time. Certainly there were many, many more families affected by this terrible flood. Many had losses that were never reported and the indirect impact on scores of people probably was never known.
I was only three years old at the time of this flood, and therefore, cannot remember the events of that night. However, I have heard some of these stories and more so many times that they seem so very real to me. I'm sure there are others out there that feel the same way. My hope and prayer would be that it never happen again. (Submitted: by Shelby McBee) THE END

This peaceful rural idyll is possibly a copy of an unknown painting by the great Dutch landscape painter Aelbert Cuyp. It may even be a pastiche imitating his style by Jacob van Strij, who painted such pictures.
The vast sky and the distant windmill, water and trees are typical of Cuyp's view of the Dutch landscape, but they are not painted with his attention to detail and feeling for character – both animal and human. The bunched-up figure with a stick looks out over the plain. He wears a scarlet jacket, giving the bright spark of colour that Cuyp would also have added to enliven the picture, though it has been dulled down by the very discoloured varnish. But the cows are realistically placid, one on watch, the others lying down.

Kallman, Chester
Kallman, Chester 1921–
An American-born poet now living in Austria, Kallman has also done opera libretti in collaboration with W. H. Auden.
Mr. Kallman has previously published two volumes of poetry, Storm at Castelfranco (1956) and Absent and Present (1963). These, most unjustly, received almost no attention, and this neglect I should like to rectify….
[In his new book, The Sense of Occasion,] Mr. Kallman has managed to resist … temptations, firstly, thanks to his sense of humor that never deserts him, even in the most tense moments, and, secondly, thanks to his command of linguistic technique, both metrical and rhetorical….
The final section [of The Sense of Occasion], The African Ambassador, is a very remarkable achievement indeed. To begin with, it is a technical tour de force…. Secondly, Mr. Kallman has succeeded in what is one of the most difficult of all tasks, namely, in inventing a myth, or rather, perhaps, a metaphor, that does not remain private to the author but is accessible to all…. I have no hesitation in saying that, in my opinion, The African Ambassador is one of the most original and significant poems written in the past twenty years.
W. H. Auden, "Chester Kallman: A Voice of Importance," in Harper's (copyright © 1972, by Minneapolis Star and Tribune Co., Inc.; reprinted from the March, 1972 issue of Harper's Magazine by permission of W. H. Auden), March, 1972, pp. 92-3.
These new poems [The Sense of Occasion] by Chester Kallman seem to me even better than those in his two earlier books, Storm at Castelfranco … and Absent and Present…. In the years since the publication of the latter, Mr. Kallman's supremely classical sense and resonance have been increasingly tempered by his persuasive personal voice. Like all wise poets, he knows so much that he can afford to leave unsaid more than most of his colleagues knew to begin with…. Mr. Kallman takes life and letters seriously enough to make a joke, be maliciously funny, and cry without being boring or maudlin.
Chester Kallman's poems will probably never command an indiscriminate following; in fact, his poems never command at all, but rather incite, amuse, tickle, encircle, wound, and, above all, harmonize. Some will say these poems are out of date, for verses that do not tell their age are out of fashion, as not strictly of the moment. But unlike checks that must be cashed upon receipt, this is currency good for all occasions and worth more than the paper it is printed on. Mr. Kallman is a coiner, in the highest sense, an adept at that artistic counterfeit which is more valuable than the gold standard of the present. The medals from his mint are stamped not with the image of the time but with personality and personal knowledge which shine through and are enforced by a precision little practised nowadays. Chester Kallman's sense of occasion and his art are both practised and inspired.
Michael Mesic, in Poetry (© 1972 by The Modern Poetry Association; reprinted by permission of the Editor of Poetry), April, 1972, pp. 47-9.
Uncommon is the word for Chester Kallman—uncommonly attractive and uncommonly odd. Probably no other poet of Chester Kallman's generation, the generation of "the nineteen-twenties-born," the generation which, as he mordantly remarks, "had no name," seems so singular, so dryly or vividly himself. And yet, for all that, no other poet, I think, seems, here and there, so quaint, so much the poor proverbial drunk endlessly searching for his wallet under the streetlamp although he lost it up the alley.
(This entire section contains 1098 words.)
Uncommon is the word for Chester Kallman—uncommonly attractive and uncommonly odd. Probably no other poet of Chester Kallman's generation, the generation of "the nineteen-twenties-born," the generation which, as he mordantly remarks, "had no name," seems so singular, so dryly or vividly himself. And yet, for all that, no other poet, I think, seems, here and there, so quaint, so much the poor proverbial drunk endlessly searching for his wallet under the streetlamp although he lost it up the alley.Storm at Castelfranco and Absent & Present and The Sense of Occasion—certainly the three collections of his poems are arresting performances. And certainly a number of the poems grow better from book to book, poems full of nipping lines, of "wry and borrowed ambiguities," of contraries and conceits.
Yet often with Kallman just when a fancy's having its head it becomes gnarled, just when the whimsey sparkles or stirs it turns crabbed. Here is a poet who knows most of what there is to know about meter and form (the mesmeric iambs of "Missing the Sea," the exquisite syllabic variants of "The African Ambassador"). And here is a poet who knows most of what there is to know about rhetoric (the bravura style of "Testament of the Royal Nirvana"—it is a small-scale virtuosity, but virtuosity nonetheless). Yet here, alas, is a poet who, now and again, appears to know nothing—or to know everything and forget everything—about tone…. Chester Kallman can be astonishingly inapt….
In the three collections of his poems, he looks back, I think, to the age of Dryden and Etherege and Pope, to the shimmering stanza and the ceremonious quip; and then looks ahead to modernist or expressionist practice, to the jagged and the idiomatic: the dark side of Graves, the light side of Auden, the Theodore Roethke of The Lost Son or Praise to the End, and Marianne Moore. It is the meeting between these highly idiosyncratic styles, or the lack of it, that accounts, I suppose, for the medley of masks and moods, the great charm and eccentricity of his work.
He is a didactic poet, a romantic poet, and a comic poet….
His real glory, however—where he's most himself, or at least most securely himself—is, I feel, when he becomes more or less obsessed with more or less operatic themes, romantic infidelity and romantic fidelity: Il est beau de mourir en s' aimant—the most operatic theme of all. It is here that his lively or luxuriant imagination, with its natural inclination toward the indiscreet, departs from the classical restraint or the coterie preciosity which can—sorely, at times—so blinker his style. The terrifically hard-bitten "The Middle of the Night: The Hands," fierce in its particulars, pitiless in feeling, has a rhythmically brilliant, almost staccato lilt, its lines and images full of an abrupt intensity and a pressing refrain….
The tour de force of his latest collection, The Sense of Occasion, the extraordinary sequence of poems called "The African Ambassador," is, I believe, romantic, too—though with a good deal more gravity, more range; its theme less the difficulties of a statesman than the difficulties of la condition humaine, the difficulty of being human at all…. What Kallman has done, what Berryman and Yeats have also done in altogether different works, is to create a public persona for his private demons, a wickedly imagined and mysteriously ironic figure of state….

Months after many people confused Nordstrom's business decision to drop Ivanka Trump's brand as sign of political resistance, the department store has started to sell products from Gwyneth Paltrow's brand, Goop, and Reese Witherspoon's label, Draper James, Racked reports.
The retailer's partnership with Goop launched on May 12, with beauty, apparel, accessories, and home products from Goop's in-brand label and other Gwyneth-approved brands available in stores and online through June 25, according to Racked. Among the Goop-esque products for sale are Moon Juice dusts from none other than Amanda Chantal Bacon — but sorry, no jade eggs. Additionally, Nordstrom began selling Southern-inspired Draper James goods on Monday in 15 stores and online, as well.

When I play VP4 I like to have the record function on all the time.
When I play Snooker I only play one frame matches at the moment im my testing phase.
In VP4 at the end of each match it asks if you want to post image or post video to facebook and thats fine,but i ignore that.
What I do is finish VP4 and open up Documents/Celeris/Virtual Pool4/record.
Then I like to go through and review my videos and delete what I dont want and keep what I do want.
However I couldnt help but notice after you watch a video and at the end of it it still gives you the option of posting an image to Facebook........but it does not give you the opportunity to upload your saved video to Facebook.
I wonder if youd be so kind Mr chaplin Esq to ammend this little function just for a PITA like me
Posting in game videos to Facebook.
Use this forum to chat with the makers of VP3DL, ask guestions, offer suggestions or even just tell them how much you like the game. Post VP3DL bug reports here. Please post any next gen suggestions in the Virtual Pool 3 Nextgen forum.

The BC Lions returned to the location it all began this past weekend, holding a community practice and autograph session at Empire Field, the former home to Empire Stadium which was the club's original home. Empire was demolished after the construction of BC Place stadium.
Here are a few pictures from the event. It sure would be nice is someone could find a way to build a new stadium in this spot.
