The idea behind personal outsourcing is to free up more of your time by delegating tasks that don't require your personal touch to complete. I've heard of people outsourcing reading to their kids and even arguing with their spouse, but the whole point of personal outsourcing is to free up time from unimportant tasks to focus on family and other things of high importance.
In this list we are going to look at 100 different ways you can use an assistant to save you time. Some will work with a virtual as well as an on site assistant, some will only work with on site help. Obviously you need to match the job with the skills of your assistant, but this can provide a valuable starting point of ideas if you are interested in outsourcing some tasks and saving time.
One word of warning. Don't expect an assistant to save you time on every task at first. Unless your needs are very mundane, you will probably want to invest some time in letting them learn your preferences and the style in which you like things done. As they learn what you need, they can start to make decisions based on how you are likely to make them and this can be one of the greatest time savings of all.
1. Grocery store trip – It may or may not be efficient to send someone to do your detailed shopping, trips to pickup milk, bread and other staples can be handled by someone else.
2. Meal planning – This can be nicely coupled with grocery shopping. You could even set certain targets you want to hit regarding nutrition.
3. Meal preparation – If your assistant can cook, this might be a good time saver for you. Obviously this doesn't work very well with a virtual assistant.
4. Deposits – With a rubber stamp, you can give someone else the ability to make bank deposits for you. Obviously it needs to be someone you trust.
5. Scanning – If you are trying to implement a paperless office, having someone else do your scanning can save you a lot of time.
6. Filing – If you haven't gone paperless.
7. Proof reading – A second pair of eyes can often spot issues much faster than you can yourself.
8. Contacts cleanup – If you have a setup that syncs contacts from your computer, phone and other devices, it is likely that you have a bunch of duplicates or incomplete contacts. Let someone else clean them up and make sure your information is up to date and accurate.
9. Send handwritten letters – Using a font like vLetter, you can give someone else the ability to print and send handwritten letters for you.
10. Pay bills – You may or may not want to give someone else access to your online bill payment service. If you still use checks, someone can save you time by getting everything ready so you just have to sign the checks.
11. Get your oil changed – The 30 to 60 minutes it takes to get your oil changed can easily be handed off to someone else.
12. Transcribe voicemail – Depending on your workflow, it might be much more efficient to have your voicemails transcribed and sent as email.
13. Shred sensitive documents – This can be particularly important if you are scanning in a lot of documents that can't be thrown away due to the information they contain.
14. Buy airline tickets – This can be tricky because there is a lot that usually goes into picking out tickets that requires your personal attention. However, if your needs are simple, this can be a small task that you can delegate.
15. Wait on hold – It is easy to waste a lot of time just waiting for someone else to answer the phone. While you can't hand off every phone call to an assistant, the ones that you can will save you time.
16. Tech support – If you deal with a lot of electronics you probably spend at least some time fixing problems, working with tech support and getting parts replaced. In some cases these are activities that could be delegated.
17. Mailing letters and packages – It isn't hard to mail a package, but it can be time consuming and that makes it a great canidate to delegate.
18. Send birthday cards – Sending birthday cards is a great networking tool. An assistant can help by getting the cards ready, addressed, stamped and even signing them using a signature font.
19. Birthday shopping – With a little organization an assistant can help you keep up with your birthday gift giving. If you give them a list of people, birthdays and a list of possible gifts they can make sure you never miss a gift giving opportunity.
20. Finding deals – An assistant can help find the best deal (including shipping and tax charges) on a particular item you need to purchase. American Express' concierge generally does a good job of this.
21. Answer phone calls – Using something like Google Voice or Ring Central you can forward your phone calls to an assistant so callers get a real person during the times you would normally send them to voice mail.
22. Library run – It is easy to order books off Amazon simply to avoid the inconvenience of going to the library. Sending an assistant to the library is particularly useful if you have a small library where a lot of specific books will need to come through library loan.
23. Proof reading – A second set of eyes to look over things before you send them out can drastically reduce little errors. This can be a bit challenging if you are trying to use someone in India where they speak a slightly different version of English.
24. Phone calls – Sometimes you need to get a message to someone and simply leaving a message won't do. An assistant can keep calling until the person answers and give the message.
25. Bill collection – If someone owes you money, having an assistant call and inquire about when to expect payment can help keep you out of the bill collector role but still get the payment in the mail.
26. Researching lists – For example, if I want a list of the top 100 peer blogs to Productivity501 along with various stats about them, an assistant can gather that information easily into an document where it can be sorted and analyzed.
27. Interviews – Virtual assistants are great for querying a large number of people and compiling their answers.
28. Organizing personal library – Have you ever wanted to have your home library organized according to the Dewey Decimal system?
29. Book index – If the Dewey Decimal system is to much, you still might like a master index of your library.
30. Listing books on Amazon – If you have a bunch of books you want to get rid of, an assistant can get them listed for you on Amazon.
31. Update phone – If you can't sync your phone with your computer, consider having an assistant update the contacts.
32. Locate photos and illustrations – A virtual assistant can save you a lot of time by locating pictures to illustrate blog posts and presentations.
33. Transcription – Sometimes you want to have a text copy of an audio file. It could be the recording of a conference call, meeting or even radio broadcast. This time consuming process is a great candidate for outsourcing to an assistant. If you have a tremendous amount of audio to transcribe, you may want to look into using services that specialize in audio transcription.
34. Categorize pictures – An assistant can help you categorize, rate and organize your pictures by adding tags or putting them in different folders.
35. Mail merge – A good assistant should be able to take a spreadsheet and a letter and do a mailing with minimal intervention on your part. This could be anything from sending out your Christmas letter to 50 family members or a huge newsletter mailing for your company.
36. Watering plants – This may seem trivial, but it is one other place that an assistant can save you a few minutes.
37. Setting up appointments – If you need to meet with a large number of people an assistant can setup your meetings and update your schedule.
38. Watching for news – An assistant can monitor various news sources and notify you when something comes up that you need to know about.
39. Garage sale shopping – Garage sales are one of those things that you don't know what you are looking for until you find it. However if you do know what you are looking for, an assistant can scour the garage sales looking for used books or whatever it is you need.
40. Fill the car with gas – It isn't a hard task, but it takes up your time. If you can send someone to fill the car up for you it will probably save you 15 to 30 minutes of time.
41. Driving – Letting someone else drive you can free up your time to work on the computer, read, make phone calls safely, etc.
42. Qualify leads – If your business generates leads that then need to be qualified, a virtual assistant can follow up by phone, ask a few questions and schedule a meeting with you. This helps you keep your time focused on the qualified customers.
43. Twitter – Most of our famous quotes on Twitter were researched and scheduled by my assistant.
44. Printing – It doesn't always make sense, but sometimes it makes more sense to send your assistant a file and let them handle the printing, getting the right paper, printer options, etc.
45. Summarizing data – This can be a great way to use a virtual assistant. Let them send you summaries of news or financial information that you would wade through otherwise.
46. Article clipping – Instead of going through magazines and newspapers yourself, an assistant can clip the parts that are relevant to you.
47. Setting up appointments – If you need to meet with a large number of people an assistant can setup your meetings and update your schedule.
48. Watching for news – An assistant can monitor various news sources and notify you when something comes up that you need to know about.
49. Office supply stocking – An assistant can help make sure that you don't run out of paper, pens or toner.
50. Reconcile accounts – Trying to find the missing transaction that is keeping your accounts from balancing is a great thing to delegate.
51. Preparing expense reports – You give them your receipts with a note on the back and they handle filling out whatever forms you need.
52. Sending out "good to meet you letters" – A great networking tool is to follow up with a physical letter. An assistant can handle doing this for you.
53. Letter sequence – Similar to the above, but you may want to send people out a sequence of letters. Once again, a great thing to delegate.
54. Wait for cable repair – Most cable companies give you a window of when they will come that is huge and keeps you sitting at home all day wondering when they will show up. Let someone else do the waiting.
55. Wait for important packages – If you have a package coming that needs a signature, you don't have to be stuck waiting for it.
56. Locate and schedule carpet cleaners – You an give criteria such as: locate 3 carpet cleaners, get and follow up with references, choose the one that sounds like they will do the best job at a reasonable price.
57. Answer emails – I'm not crazy about giving someone else direct access to my email, but there are some situations where it may make sense. In particular it may be good if you are away from email for an extended period of time.
58. Transcribe written notes – Turn your written notes into searchable text.
59. Negotiate – Sometimes having a third party negotiate for you can give you an upper hand. Give them the parameters you are willing to accept and let them try to negotiate for you.
60. Accountability – Asking a virtual assistant to make sure you exercise, or make sure you leave work on time can help give you some accountability to do the things you know are important.
61. Worry – I've heard of people delegating their worrying to someone else. The virtual assistant promised to worry about a big contract so he wouldn't have to. Sounds silly but this person said it was very effective.
62. Walk the dog – Of course this doesn't help you get any exercise.
63. Pickup medicine from the vet – Simple time saving errand.
64. Mow the yard – Another timesaver.
65. Write letters to politicians – If you want to let your voice be heard on a topic, let your assistant track down everyone who has any political pull in that area and mail them your opinion.
66. Send out resumes – They can handle the printing and mailing part of things.
67. Writing cover letters – Let them help customize your cover letters for each specific company.
68. Customize resume – They can research each company where you want to apply and help tweak and reorder your resume to best appeal to that company.
69. Mail newspaper clippings – A great way to network with people in your town is to clip out anything about them from the local paper and send it to them with a handwritten note of congratulations. An assistant can help identify and clip these for you. (It is best to only do this with positive news. You don't need to send someone a note saying that you read about their DUI.)
70. Confirm reservations – Let your assistant confirm you car rental, hotel reservation, etc.
71. Send holiday cards – You can get cards for pretty much any time of year. Let your assistant help keep your name in front of clients by sending St. Patrick's day, Easter, and Groundhogs day cards for you.
72. Sell stuff on eBay – You will probably make a lot more selling old items on eBay than with a garage sale. Your assistant can handle the listing and shipping for you so it doesn't eat up all of your time.
73. Search craigslist.org – If you need something, have your assistant look for any new listings for that item on craigslist each day.
74. Gather menus – Want to have better information in choosing a restaurant. Ask your assistant to get a copy of the menu from several different places ahead of time for you.
75. Parking and getting the car – This is particularly useful if you live in a place where you can't park near your house or office.
76. Wait in line for tickets – If you want to get tickets to an event that will require a wait, send your assistant.
77. Wait in other lines – Your assistant probably can't get a drivers license for you or register your car, but they can wait in line and call you to come when your turn is approaching.
78. Get quotes – Lets say you need to put a new roof on your house. Your assistant can locate a number of roofer and get quotes for you to look over.
79. Transfer your phone – If you need to switch cell phones it can be a time consuming process. Pass it off your your assistant, they can deal with the cellular company and make the changes.
80. Meeting minutes – This may be useful for things other than formal meetings. It might be beneficial to have written minutes of a conference call or other informal meeting.
81. Wakeup call – I've heard of some people having a virtual assistant give them a wake up call along with the weather report and reminders of any important things coming up for that day.
82. Keeping home items in stock – This could be your batteries, printer supplies, envelopes, trash bags, flour, light bulbs etc. Delegating responsibility to make sure you don't run out of these things means you don't have to think about it anymore.
83. Place Ads to Sell Stuff on Craigslist – They can also filter through the large amount of spam you are likely to get and help qualify people whoa re likely to actually buy.
84. Look for stuff to buy on Craigslist – Lets say you need a lawn mower. Once you determine the model, age and price you are looking for, an assistant can check for one that meets your criteria daily and do the initial contact to make sure that the ad isn't a scam. (Hint: If they are trying to ship you a riding lawn mower from another country, it is a scam.)
85. Play devils advocate – An assistant can offer valuable feedback by letting you test ideas and taking a contrary point of view. This will help prepare you for likely objections to your ideas and proposals.
86. Get you off of mailing lists – Giving your assistant a stack of mail that you don't want to get anymore, can save you a lot of time and reduce the amount of paper being used in the world.
87. Creating a Powerpoint presentation – If you can provide the general outline, an assistant can look up relevant statistics and add graphics.
88. Track loyalty program points – They can help you keep track of where you have existing points and how to make best use of them.
89. Identify potential jobs – People without a job probably aren't the most likely to hire an assistant, but if you are looking for a job and wanting to play the numbers in your favor, getting some help might be useful.
90. Sending out resumes – An assistant can help you tweak your cover letter, mail out resumes and help you track where you've sent your information.
91. House sitting – If you are going to be gone for a few days, it may make sense to have someone stay in your house just to keep it occupied.
92. Online presence – Some people have an assistant do their updates to Facebook and Twitter. This might be useful for someone wanting to maintain a particular online image.
93. Personal metrics – An assistant can help you compile and graph personal metrics. This could be anything to how many miles you've walked each week, to your weight over time or the number of calories you've consumed.
94. Business metrics – Similar to above, they can keep track of how many sales calls you've made, how many deals you've closed, how many contacts you've followed up with, etc.
95. Plan your vacation – It might seem silly to have an assistant plan your vacation, but if they know you and your family well, they may be able to come up with a better schedule and locate more interesting things to do than you could for yourself.
96. Blog posts – If you need to maintain a certain style of online presence, an assistant can help you do that by writing about what you are doing in your voice. Not for everyone, but there are some people who might use this.
97. Conversions – I had an assistant move a bunch of my sites from Drupal to WordPress. It wasn't particularly difficult, but it was very time consuming and I had been putting it off.
98. Suggest cultural events – An assistant can keep track of the events in your city and suggest things you might want to attend. If you say, yes, he/she can make the necessary arrangements for you.
99. Comment filtering – An assistant can help you manage comments on your blog and make sure you keep spam out while letting legitimate comments through quickly.
100. Fact checking – If you plan to use a piece of data for a publication or in a presentation and need to verify it, an assistant can do this for you.

Schools face shortchanging again by state
Illinois schools are once again trying to fill a hole in their budgets to cover money that's not coming from Springfield.
The latest source of money that is not going to schools comes from the decades-old corporate personal property replacement tax. Illinois' Department of Revenue says there will be $300 million less for schools in the state this year.
Terry Horstman, a spokesman for the Illinois Department of Revenue, said part of the shortfall is because the state overpaid schools for two years.
"The department estimated that local taxing districts had been overpaid about $168 million," Horstman said.
Horstman added that the state is not going to ask for the money back. Instead, new PPRT dollars will be spent on other pieces of state government.
Mike Jacoby, the head of Illinois' Association of School Business Officials, said that's a problem.
"This started in 2011. The first time [lawmakers] broke open this bank, so to speak, was when they needed money for regional superintendents of schools," Jacoby said. "That was about $11 million. Now we're up to $287 million from this fund that is actually paying for other things."
The Department of Revenue says most schools will lose some money. Jacoby said some schools – particularly those in what used to be manufacturing towns – could lose a lot.
"Districts along the Mississippi River that had large steel and manufacturing districts [in the 1970s] are going to be hurt pretty significantly," Jacoby said. "Some districts, like Granite City, their PPRT resources are greater than their entire state funding."
Jacoby said it is particularly stinging for Illinois schools to have to be shortchanged once again because state lawmakers spent much of this summer on education funding reform.
"On the one end there is the excitement about new resources coming in through the funding model," Jacoby said. "But if on the back end you're losing [PPRT money] and not actually getting equal new distribution, you're in a negative position."

I've used one of the most adorable sets ever called Storybook by Avery Elle.
The tag is on dimensional adhesive and I've used the wreath to make a half circle. I've made my own banner to ground the tag. The balloons were added at a last minute because I thought that it needs more embellishing. I've adding some stickles to the balloons to give it some fun glittery interest.
I hope you like it and check out this stamp set if you haven. I adore this set because I looooooove bunnies and it has the cutest little bunny on the set for me to use.

Abacus Datagraphics has been a trusted source of line locating and field services for more than 20 years. Based out of our head office in Red Deer and with crews dispatched from several Alberta communities, Abacus provides numerous types of underground pipeline and utility locating services province wide. Abacus is constantly enhancing and improving its services by taking advantage of emerging technologies.
Line Locating
Our Line Locating crews use the latest equipment and technology to perform numerous types of locating jobs throughout the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. Some of the Line Locating services Abacus offers include:
- Locating and marking underground facilities for new pipeline and well construction
- Alberta One Call locating to ensure ground disturbance is clear of buried facilities
- Verification that environmental test holes or dig sites are not in conflict with any underground facilities
- Locating for service station reclamation
- Well or pipeline abandonment/reclamation locating

- Member of Alberta Common Ground Alliance and Canadian Association of Pipeline and Utility Locating Contractors
- Abacus Datagraphics puts safety at the forefront and holds a Certificate of Recognition
Pipeline Signage
Abacus has developed a complete solution to help companies efficiently manage pipeline signage. Our pipeline signage services offer a safe and effective way of meeting regulatory requirements while keeping field costs to a minimum.
Whether you want us to manage all aspects of your signage program, or just have us help out with specific parts of it, you won't find as wide a range of signage services anywhere else. Our signage services include:
- Performing a complete audit of pipeline signage, identifying and mapping all road, rail and watercourse crossing points
- Cross-referencing physical pipeline crossings against Alberta Energy Regulator licensing data to verify Environment Code accuracy in AER database
- Design of client signage according to AER signage standards including: pipeline type, client logos and emergency contact number.
- Because Abacus prints and assembles high-quality UV-resistant signs customized for each client, there are no delays waiting for sign delivery.
- Dispatching field crews to check signs using signage audit maps to verify sign installations and identify any locations where signage is deficient
- Immediate installation of missing signs using hydrodig method (no ground disturbance occurs, although crews do line locate to verify location of pipeline)
- GPS-referenced photographs taken of existing/new pipeline signage
- Creation of PDF map showing pipelines and signage locations, linked to pictures of signs from fieldwork
- Integration of signage mapping and photographs into your AbaData account, allowing you to view your proprietary data in our robust oilfield GIS
No other company offers as extensive an array of signage services which allows you to ensure AER compliance, and once completed gives you the ability to pro-actively manage your pipeline signage.
Abacus also offers a complete signage solution to non-oilfield clients like Rural Municipalities looking to install rural signage in a safe and cost-effective manner.
Pipeline Watercourse Inspection
The advancing age of much of the energy industry's pipeline infrastructure – along with environmental impacts like flooding and other weather events – create challenges in meeting regulatory requirements for pipelines crossing watercourses.
Abacus has developed a comprehensive suite of services to help pipeline owners identify watercourse crossings, check the state of those crossings and manage the data collected during the field work.
Identify Crossings
- A comprehensive listing of all pipeline watercourse crossings is generated by Abacus using our proprietary systems and mapping tools. This listing includes both crossings visible at the 1:1,000,000 scale, as well as the 1:50,000 and 1:20,000 scales. Using multiple mapping scales ensures that all potential watercourse crossings are identified.
- All potential watercourse crossings are mapped out for the client and are delivered both digitally and via hard-copy map.
- Field visits are conducted on all identified crossings.
Crossing Inspections
- Because not all locations identified by the mapping will have current watercourse crossings (historic changes in water levels and seasonal waterflow fluctuations mean some historic waterways no longer transport water) field visits will verify if there is in fact a pipeline crossing a watercourse.
- If a watercourse crossing is found, the crossing will be inspected.
- Using specialized locating equipment, the depth of cover of the pipeline will be determined along the entire crossing from bank to bank.
- An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) will be deployed and a high-resolution image of the crossing will be generated. A three-dimensional rendering of the crossing will also be compiled.
Managing Crossing Data
- Using the information collected, pipeline regulatory status can be audited to verify that all watercourse crossings are registered with the appropriate AER Environment Code.
- A hard-copy report is produced for each crossing providing the details of the crossing as well as a map of the pipeline location and a cross-section map showing the depth of the pipeline relative to the watercourse and banks along the length of the inspected area.

BEAVER � Freedom businessman Harry Gilarno is suing several borough council members and the mayor, saying they shut him out of doing business with the borough in a retaliatory move related to a 2007 citation filed against Gilarno.
Gilarno, the owner of Gilarno�s Auto Repair, 899 Third Ave., is suing council members John V. Kaercher, Victoria H. Greco, Jacqueline Golletti, Darl Allman and Deborah Dominicus, and Mayor Donald Zahn.
According to court documents filed by Gilarno�s attorney, Mark Ciccarelli, Gilarno�s business performed work on borough vehicles from 1993 to 2007, and was also the exclusive towing agent for the borough and police department.
In October 2007, the borough cited Gilarno, saying that he kept junk vehicles on his property for more than 36 hours, which violated a borough ordinance.
Ciccarelli wrote that prior to the citation, �Gilarno had been publically critical on numerous occasions of the mayor and members of council regarding the administration and operation of the borough.�
Ciccarelli wrote that the mayor of the borough the named council members have a well known personal animus against Gilarno and that there had been verbal confrontatons between them and Gilarno at various public meetings.
In Oct. 2007, according to the suit, borough employees and all government representatives were given a memo telling them not to talk to Gilarno. Gilarno is also the borough's fire chief.
In February 2008, District Judge Ed Howe found Gilarno not guilty, according to court records. The borough didn�t appeal Howe�s ruling but filed a civil complaint in Beaver County Court in March 2008 that made the same accusations as the 2007 citation.
In July, Judge Deborah Kunselman dismissed the civil complaint.
Ciccarelli wrote that since January 2008, Gilarno hasn�t been allowed to do any work on borough vehicles or any towing because of Zahn and council members.
The decision not to patronize Gilarno�s business, Ciccarelli wrote, flies in the face of a borough policy passed by council in July 2007 to support/favor borough businesses for auto repair.
Gilarno is suing on three counts. The first is wrongful use of civil proceedings, saying that council could not file a civil complaint after Howe found Gilarno not guilty on the same offenses.
The second is violation of due process and freedom of speech. Gilarno says he was cited because of his criticism against the mayor and council.
The third is discriminatory treatment in violation of the equal protection clause of the Constitution�s 14th Amendment. Gilarno�s suit claims that the borough treated his business differently than other borough property owners.
Gilarno is seeking in excess of $25,000 in damages.
The borough�s solicitor, Chrystal Tinstman, and council president John Kaercher couldn�t be reached for comment Tuesday evening.

There's always a thought, a fear, when you're stepping out into something new. You're not sure of what you'll meet out there and just the feeling of uncertainty makes you tremble. You start sweating and feel that chill run down your spine, that fuzziness of thoughts and that fear that you might barf!
But then, you hold yourself together. Tell your mind to simply shut up! And take the leap. That sweat on your forehead? It is no longer 'chilly'; it is that cool comfort you get when you stand in front of the AC after a long run knowing that you've achieved something. That trembling you experienced before that made your knees go weak vanishes the moment you get a grip of your wandering mind.
It's a whole new feeling – one you should force yourself to experience whenever you feel like you cannot do something.

I have 8-year-old twin boys. Twin A is usually very easy going, but Twin B is a bright child with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD — Hyperactive type). He is very challenging for us and has many anger and behavioral issues and low self-esteem. His highs are very high, and his lows are very low. He can be mean, and he feels like everyone hates him.
We have typically parented as you advise in the V of Love [See the sidebar.], but we have seen occupational therapists, doctors, and psychologists who have told us otherwise when it comes to Twin B. He argues continuously about things he doesn't want to do, like math facts for homework, but the professionals we see say that he should be allowed to move on to something else. We want to raise a productive, independent, responsible adult. What do we do? Twin B is ruling our life.
First, you should know that two boys close in age are usually different to raise. When they are twins, it can make it doubly hard, and conflicting advice from professionals can certainly add to the trickiness. I'd like to say that you should just stick with my advice; but because I don't know your children, I know that won't be the answer you need. Perhaps you could find a psychologist who is familiar with my approach to parenting.
Of course, no two psychologists are the same, nor are two children. If you develop regular study routines for your children and help them to understand that after their work is done they can look forward to some family fun, that may help your son manage his homework time. Hardly any children love to do math facts, but I usually explain that they are exercise for the brain and can help to make you smarter. Also, there is research that found that children who learn math facts well are more likely to take advanced math classes in later years. Perhaps you could add some small reward like stickers or prizes to encourage your son to manage to get through the less exciting parts of learning.
Finally, I do think it's important that you're comfortable with the approach your psychologist is using. You can interview a psychologist in your first session so that you can determine your comfort level with his or her approach before you introduce your child into the situation. Working hard to be united with your children's father is also very important. Once your children know what to expect on a daily and weekly basis, they are more likely to comply. However, I must say that parenting is not really as easy as just following a recipe.
Hopefully, the articles on my website or newsletters can help you as well.
Your children require leadership and limits to feel secure. Envision the letter V in "Love." When children are small, they're at the base of the V with few choices, little freedom, and small responsibilities that match their small size. As they mature, they should have more choices, more freedom, and more responsibilities.
Freedom and responsibility should increase concurrently. Although limits remain, more freedom is provided. Children will feel trusted and healthfully empowered. If you reverse that V like this, Л, and children are given too many early choices and freedoms, they will believe they should have all the choices. They will resent rules and responsibilities and feel as if you're stealing their freedom when you don't give them a choice or you try to set reasonable limits. They will seek instant gratification, total power, and expect to be treated as adults before they're ready to handle the responsibilities of their over-empowerment. In adolescence, ordinary expectations of responsibility will cause them to become angry, depressed, and rebellious. In plain English, they will act like "spoiled brats."

Child Care Management
Partnering with Families
At-Home Activities
Dear Debi,
I'm a provider at a preschool. And we encourage the parents to link activities we do with learning opportunities at home. But how can we further encourage parents to extend learning experiences for their kids?
, El Segundo, CA
Debi's Tips
Debi Gutierrez
Establish a positive relationships with parents
Share what children are learning with parents
Send activities and ideas home
Expert Advice
Mike Salas
Pre-school teacher
There are lots of examples of activities I send home with kids to do with their parents. If the kids are learning colors and shapes as part of the curriculum, I will send them home with an art activity kit. Its filled with markers, crayons, water colors, and play dough. I tell parents to use these kits at home with their kids. I tell them to allow the kids to do whatever they want with it. Then the kids usually bring back what they made to share with the rest of the kids.
In order to encourage parents to extend learning at home, its important for child care providers and parents to have good communication and develop a good relationship. You should work in partnership to help your kids learn. So the better the communication and relationship between you and the parent, the more likely parents will be involved in what their kids are learning in care and want to get involved in extending the learning by doing activities at home. And these activities can be ones given to parents by child care providers or parents doing things on their own to continue reinforce things that their kids learn in care, because they are communicating well with child care providers and are very informed on what their kids are currently learning.
There are plenty of informal activities that can be done at home to continue your childs learning. Such as playing guessing games in the car when driving around doing errands, pointing out different shapes or colors. Even sorting out clean socks from the laundry and having kids fold them. These are all activities that parents can use to follow through with kids learning. In fact I think the best activities are ones that kids enjoy doing together with their parents which are everyday type of activities. That way, kids feel like they are helping out, yet they are gaining fine motor skills, language skills, vocabulary, and math skills from just counting socks. These are all great ways to continue to help your child learn at home.
Other ideas include setting up a bulletin board by the door for parents to see or handing out flyers that describe what kids learned that day and suggesting what parents can do to continue and reinforce their learning. I leave handouts by the door so that parents can just grab one when they come by to pick up kids. When they get home, they can read it and try some of the suggestions in the handout. I also do a newsletter about once a week. In it, we suggest things such as cutting out coupons, or well give parents a simple recipe for homemade play dough things that parents can do with their kids. I try to use simple and easy suggestions for parents to continue teaching their kids at home.
Child Care provider Comments
Karolina Ramirez
Child care provider for 6 years
I try to encourage parents to get involved with what their kids are learning by making sure I share with them what their kids are doing. I do that by setting up a bulletin board by the door. On it, we suggest to parents to read to their kids 20 minutes per day, teach children safety procedures during emergencies, and have all kinds of suggestions as to how they can take an opportunity to interact and teach their kids.
Child care provider for 3 years
I think its important for kids education to continue when they go home at the end of the day. In order for that to happen, we need to work together with parents to make sure they understand that as providers were just trying to help the kids out as much as possible. I definitely suggest to parents to extend the learning day into the home. Some are a little reluctant but once they see the progress the kids make, they become encouraged to continue. I think that having parents follow through at home, kids are shown a positive message and taught that learning doesnt just end because theyve left the providers home. I think it actually reinforces the idea that they are learning all the time.
Parent Comments
Mother of 3-year-old girl
My daughters child care has the children take home activities every day, except Fridays. These activities are such that she needs me to be with her to guide her through it. That way I become involved in whats going on in care and help her learn.

Lance Armstrong vs. Oprah and Us
Lance Armstrong - Part 1
Lance Armstrong and Oprah - Part II
Okay, so here's what we're asking, "What on Earth was Lance Armstrong thinking?"
Here is a guess at the answer. Read my lips: "The crime is not in the doing, the crime is not even in getting caught. The crime is in getting caught and being found guilty and not being found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. It is being found guilty beyond any doubt."
And what is most disturbing and why America has "rubber necked" in their watching of these interviews is the even more disturbing realization and belief that many Americans, many wealthy Americans and hopefully just some (vs many) elected officials think exactly the same way.
Is there a way to earn back trust after such deep betrayal and after you have lied to, stolen from and cheated or cheated on someone?
If you're the one who has done the betraying read and watch the video of the following airtight formula for earning back trust and follow it.
If you're the one who has been betrayed, send this article and video to the one who has done it to you and tell them this is what you need in order to trust them again.
Once trust is broken by betrayal, can it be regained?
There is a road back, but it takes practicing the 4 R's to respond to the 4 H's you triggered in the other person by betraying their trust.
The 4 H's and the 4 R's:
1. To ease the HURT you need to demonstrate REMORSE to show that you know you damaged something in them, by looking them directly in the eye and admitting you're truly sorry, with no excuses (this is the stumbling block for sociopathic people like Armstrong and Bernie Madoff, but also for very narcissistic people like John Edwards and a list that is too long).
2. To respond to the HATE you need to show RESTITUTION and offer a payback for what you took away from them by giving up something that matters to you or letting them verbally punch themselves out at you for making them feel crazy while you lied to them
3. To lower their HESITATION TO TRUST you need to REHABILITATE yourself to let them see a new way of dealing with those situations that caused you to stray and that you actually prefer to your old destructive behavior
4. To get them to stop HOLDING ONTO A GRUDGE, you need to REQUEST FORGIVENESS after practicing those 3 R's for a minimum of 6 months so they can become a part of your personality.
If the other person is still unable to forgive you after that, you are no longer unforgivable (if you haven't gone beyond betrayal into abuse), they are unforgiving.
It's clear what is in it for you if they forgive you, but what's in it for them? When you earnestly practice the 4 R's above, you enable the person you injured to go from fear and loathing to feeling safe, trusting and even liking you again—and that feeling is called, "euphoria."
One final suggestion, confront, stop and cut your losses with evil people at the earliest opportunity. For everyone else who are merely flawed, find a way to forgive them, because if being unforgiving takes you over it will turn you bitter and turn you into that parent or relative that you learned it from and you told yourself you would never want to become.

WTF is Electro Trap?
Allow Far East Movement to define it with "Dirty Bass," a record that fuses the "trap"pings of dubbed out techno and rap, courtesy of Tyga. Some chopping, screwing, and the addition of extra synthesizers tops off "Dirty Bass" making it raucous music for which, the fist-pump (for the ravers), the drop-down (for the ladies) and the head-nod (for the homies) are all applicable dance moves.

Drama, action, suspense! Woah, watch out there, Keegan! Hang about, it's Inspector George Gently.
This is television good and proper, and that theme tune is what it sounds like to be even more superhumanly self-confident than James Brown and walking to the offie round the corner on a Friday night. But we need to get some dinner too; pasta? what vegetables? any truffles? Ah-ha!
In its 'Must-see TV' section last week [September 25 – October 1, 2010], The Times' Playlist supplement included Masterchef: The Professionals. That the masterful This Is England '86 and, of course, Strictly Come Dancing and X-Factor, are also included – this is high praise. The review reads:
"The involvement of Michel Roux Jr is the best thing about this spin-off of the cookery franchise. Roux Jr is knowledgeable, encouraging and does not suffer fools – the perfect qualities for the search to find the best working chef in the country".
Do I detect criticism? Some of that knowing irony that concludes its X-Factor review – 'Expect plenty of tears – there always are' – with all the jovial brevity of the TV listings writer may be? Apparently not. People not only actually like Masterchef, they'll defend it as "good television" too. The new one's dead professional and all.
My housemate for one loves Masterchef, and although we don't have an actual television in our flat (renegade laptops for us), the programme is one of the few things we will watch during the week.
Rather than take this in some weird urban-Attenborough direction (he likes chicken and long walks by the River Don by the way), the point is, our discussions about Masterchef have not wised me up to its apparent charms.
"Well, it's television".
It's television yes, but a form of television with increasing cache in our current climate of economic adversity, little girls and boys with a passion to be a star and genuinely emotive tales of love on the dole culminating in a confetti-ridden rendition of a Westlife song. An escape from the times, along with a heady dose of aspiration.
Aforementioned This Is England '86 has been a perfect antidote to this kind of seal-packaged glossy dross which you encounter in droves in the other programmes mentioned above. Instead, dour social realism with a nice bit of British sub-culture history thrown in, artful cinematography, a predictably good soundtrack and themes that we all need to buck up and look at, on a rainy Sheffield day like today.
Of course you can't expect much of this from a food programme. Unless you're a fan of Nigella Lawson of course; chiccy-Beckenham softly-lit, dashing your herbs over your well-in-focus but half-off-camera gazpacho and buxom boobies (which by the way, because you've not heard it before, is not so much a food programme as a sex-food programme for middle-aged pervy dads). Otherwise your standard food programme is largely about food.
Now when I say "a form of television with increasing cache […] little girls and boys with a passion to be a star and genuinely emotive tales of love on the dole culminating in a confetti-ridden rendition of a Westlife song" – I'm not just referring to those tediously prevalent mission or emotional-narrative-reality shows, but features of programming that is definitively American, or if not American then incredibly plasticised and pre-packaged.
For example, Hell's Kitchen USA or Kitchen Nightmares USA is one of the more sickening pieces of television I've seen, and not only because of scenes of fawning American celebrities (poor Stevie Van Zandt) looking up at Gordon Ramsay's scrotal face like puppies waiting for their next drunken beating.
It seems every single change of scene or shot has to be accompanied by the over-produced cosmic thud of ten thousand orchestras – "DUH!" – just to tell us that, "Uh-oh, they might not make this soufflé in time, mightn't they? What do you think will happen? This is getting serious now, hold tight." This is repeated a few times, then sautéed in some utterly reprehensible plastic string dirge to step it up that little bit more, before the wannabe-chef in hand either succeeds to no applause or mucks up and gets another scrotal-alcoholic battering of verbiage. You just feel dirty watching it.
Masterchef is much the same, but because it's British (by extension sophisticated, slick and above all that American crassness, no?), we do it better. Rather than the intense male Californian voiceover, we get a husky English lay-day putting a seductive finger to our fearful mouths and whispering sweet culinary nothings. Much like the pornographic M&S adverts, but, longer, and, oh, OH, more…protracted.
Of course there's still the strings-of-suspense with the over-produced cosmic thud of one hundred orchestras, but beyond that, the production company or the BBC or some reet spark have decided to splice shots of men and women cooking niche French cuisine along with some solid German techno. Real Berliner minimal techno, and electro-house; with massive drops, freaky flashing-laser basslines and one-beat pauses that have been ingenuously used to accompany the chopping of an onion or the hurried mopping of a sweaty brow with a tea towel. It's all so exaggerated, but masquerades as something done well. You know, like "good television".
By implanting sound and very noticeable editing onto original material in this way, television producers are able to create narratives out of nothing. It is likely that other than who wins Masterchef and who is kicked off, the projected record bears little resemblance to real events. This is something that in turn bears more than a little resemblance to other media professions – particularly the reactionary and distorting news journalism of something like Fox that can show images of a world leader with progressive policies just, doing something, emplot an over-arching narrative over the top of it, and distort the news in the eye of the viewer from then on. The other day we were given a hand-out showing two photographs of an American soldier controlling a crowd in Afghanistan. The original, first published in the LA Free Press, had been edited to "enhance" it.
While we're on Fox, dig this! – I know you haven't already –
And so the horse, like the panda and the unicorn, has been flogged.
Red Riding, This Is England '86 or Sherlock Holmes are all good recent British TV series (my minor penchant for Inspector George Gently best left here, though that is apparently 'Must-see' too so there we go). However it'd be ridiculous to compare them to Masterchef, for reasons of both content and quality – the very same reasons that it'd be pointless to bring up X-Factor and the most infernal biscuit-taker of the lot, Britain's Got Talent.
What ever happened to Lloyd anyway?

How to Make a Scarecrow with a Shovel
A scarecrow can not only be a colorful and interesting décor to add to your garden, it can also be an effective way to scare off unwanted birds and wild animals such as deer and elk that might want to eat your flowers or vegetable leaves. You'll find it surprisingly simple to make a colorful and effective scarecrow with very little more than a shovel, in just 5 easy steps.
Tools and material you'll need:
- Long handled shovel
- Brightly colored shirt
- 3 bales of hay or straw
- Woman's skirt
- Apron
- Two 16-inch wood dowels
- Two 4-foot wood dowels (or rebar pieces)
- Artificial or dried sunflowers
- Gloves
- Fine steel wool
- Water base paint primer
- Beige water base paint
- Paintbrush
- Permanent marker
- Brimmed hat
- Fishing line
- Hammer
- Nail
Step 1: Paint the Shovel Blade
On the convex (bottom) side of a shovel blade, if the surface is rusted, use steel wool to remove rust. This will leave a light covering of red dust from the rust. Rinse off this dust water and let the shovel blade dry. Apply a coat of primer paint that will adhere to metal, and let it dry. Finally, apply a coat beige colored paint and let it dry.
Step 2: Draw A Face On the Scarecrow
Using the permanent marker, draw features of a face, the eyes, nose, mouth and eyebrows. Make the lines broad enough that they can be seen from beyond your garden's edge.
Step 3: Make the Scarecrow Base
Lay a straw bale horizontally on the ground where the scarecrow will stand. Stand a second bale vertically on top of the horizontal bale, then stand a third bale vertically on top of the first verticle bale. Push the shovel handle down through the three bales of straw. This secure the vertical bales and keep them from falling.
Step 4: Creating the Scarecrow
Create the scarecrow's arms by using the hammer to pound dowels into opposite sides of the top bale. Slip the skirt down over the top bale and pull it down until it fits over the bottom vertical bale. Button the shirt and slip it over the top bale with the buttons facing the same direction as the scarecrow's face and the dowels protruding through the shirts' sleeves. Fill the shirt's sleeves with straw, fit the gloves onto the ends of the dowel that protrudes from the shirt's sleeves, and finally put the apron on the scarecrow.
Step 5: Attaching the Hat and Sunflowers
Fill the inside of the hat to give it bulk so it doesn't collapse, then place it on top of the shovel blade. Use the nail to make holes in the hat, thread fishing line through these holes, and tie it to the shovel to keep the hat from blowing off.
Finally, push the sunflowers stems into the holes you made in the hat, add more sunflowers into the waist and pants pockets of the scarecrow, and you have created your scarecrow.

Web Marketing: What Is It And How Could I Succeed At It?
Browse the Internet and you will find that most users are extremely ordinary people. It is possible to still create something extraordinary, even when you are ordinary. Using proper Internet marketing techniques will help you be successful, so here are some ideas to get you started.
Ask others to review your Internet marketing content. It is vital that you have a solid idea of how others perceive your blog. Get feedback from anyone you are able to, friends, family and prospective clients. Consider their opinions, making any changes you find reasonable.
Internet marketing can take place in places aside from the web https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lgpm_P7nrs As an example, you may invite your advertisers and customers for an event you might be hosting. Build a community around your brand, and people will identify along with your products and attend the events that you go.
Being aware of what the competitors are as much as is a vital part of website marketing. Every business have their competitors, and you need to be mindful of yours.
Provide something that is exclusive in your site and centered on a distinct segment market. Advertise it heavily to draw in customers to your site. People will then investigate what else you have to offer, which will bring your blog legitimacy and helping your page ranking.
Creating a section for frequently asked questions can help your prospects with common issues and make it easier for them to order. This will likely give your potential customers immediate strategies to their questions, which will make them more satisfied with your site. Clients are more inclined to purchase from the business that addresses their informational needs and questions, and not just something.
Make use of your email in your business advantage. Send customers newsletters which provide them information that may be so useful which they clamor for further. You want your emails being welcomed by recipients by offering them something they desire, not dismissed as spam. Even with your customers leave your site, your newsletters will help you to maintain contact with them and assure them that you are dedicated to their continued business.
Integrate links into the site that contain valuable keywords. You must keep customers on the page provided that possible by offering them links to fresh content. Relevant links retain the visitor from leaving and increase your website's search engine rankings, which can lead to sales.
It will always be essential to research various competitors when your internet enterprise is always to succeed. Take tips and tricks you could see other similar businesses are using to produce business, and apply those to your own site. Check out the websites of your competition. If you notice they are lacking in services which you offer, boast this in your advertising copy.
The protection of all third party transactions is essential for top volume sales. There are several trusted services/ VeriSign, McAffee, etc. which will protect the exposure of financial material both for customers and vendors. Although home security systems do cost money, they can be an absolute necessity.
Although the majority of people aim to become rich when creating a business, it is essential to keep on track. Striving for huge profits will help your motivation. Try the ideas here and you will be on the way to Online marketing success..

A bad start and a worse finish doomed Akari-Adamson in Game 1.
The Soaring Falcons couldn't buy a basket in the payoff period as they bowed to Che Lu Bar and Grill in the 2018 PBA D-League Aspirants Cup semifinals Tuesday at the Pasig Sports Center.
Thus, Akari-Adamson is forced into a do-or-die situation when the two teams meet again in Game 2 on Thursday.
With big guns like Jerrick Ahanmisi and Papi Sarr struggling, the Falcons were held to four points in the fourth quarter as the Revellers made their stand.
Akari-Adamson started slow, but recovered in the second period to take a slim 35-34 lead at halftime.
But Che Lu outscored them, 36-25, in the last two frames to complete the upset.
Simon Camacho led the Falcons with 13 points while Sarr had 12.

The first step and most common form of treatment for breast cancer is surgery. Surgery involves removing the tumor and nearby margins. The margin is the surrounding tissue that might be cancerous. The goal of surgery is to remove not only the tumor, but also enough of the margin to be able to test for the spread of the cancer. Once the removed tissue is checked, your post-operative report should tell you if you had "clear margins," (meaning the tissue farthest away from the breast was free of any cancer cells.)
Some people with Stage 2 or Stage 3 cancer may receive chemotherapy first, which is known as "pre-operative " or "neoadjuvant*" chemotherapy. The goal is to shrink the tumor. By making it smaller first, you may have the option of a breast-conserving surgery or lumpectomy instead of a mastectomy.
Chemotherapy is a treatment method that uses a combination of drugs to either destroy cancer cells or slow down the growth of cancer cells.
Cytotoxic drugs (meaning "toxic to cells") are usually given orally or through a vein (intravenously or "through the bloodstream"). Chemotherapy is a systemic therapy, meaning that the drugs travel in the bloodstream throughout the entire body.
Radiation therapy (also called radiotherapy) uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells. It affects cells only in the part of the body that is treated with the radiation. Breast cancer radiation therapy may be used to destroy any remaining mutated cells that remain in the breast or armpit area after surgery.
Breast Self Examination for men is easy and simple. Although Breast Cancer in men is rare, it is advisable to perform breast self examination regularly. Pick one motion to use every time you conduct your BSE, it makes it easier for you to detect any changes in your breast.
Stand in front of the mirror and look at the skin for any changes including lump, swelling, dimpling or puckering. Look straight ahead; move to the right and to the left and back to the centre.
Slowly raise your arms above your head, again looking for skin changes dimpling or puckering. Move to the right and to the left. Bring your hands on your hips. Flex your pectoral muscle again looking for dimpling or puckering or skin changes. Move to right and to the left.
Lie on your back (or stand still). Use your right hand to examine your left breast and vice versa. Place your left hand under your head and bring your right hand to the armpit area to examine your left breast.
Use three pressures: light, medium and deep dime sized circles. Continue to move down the chest in light, medium and deep circular moves. Repeat the moves till you cover the whole breast. Squeeze the nipple to observe the discharge of any fluid.

Signage System
Sports Hall of the Berufsschulzentrum für Technik I – Industrieschule, Chemnitz
Back Download
The outstanding characteristic element of this signage system for a sports hall is the graphic interpretation of the lettering. Instead of representing the letters as "surfaces", they are broken down into lined forms and thus establish a thematic connection to the sporting environment. Both an expression of dynamism and the typical marking of the lines on running tracks and playing areas are reflected in the typography, which was modified for this project, a typography that thus addresses the specific target groups of this sports hall, young and open people, in a highly coherent, clear and inviting manner. Designed to complement the typography, the pictogram system forms a visual extension of the lettering with which it is not only combined but also directly interconnected to in parts. The design of this signage system thus achieves a highly aesthetic and original appeal. Statement by the jury »Designing a signage system that stands out can take the shape of a scientific project in terms of aspects such as readability, ergonomic placement, colour and number coding and the use of pictograms. This signage system for a sports hall proves functionality while simultaneously sporting an individual signature that identifies the venue skilfully and appealingly.«

About the Transparency Task Force
I have worked in financial services for over 30 years and I believe the financial services sector is profoundly important for the wellbeing of society and the world economy – I am a huge fan of the sector and what it does, when it is behaving properly.
However, over a long period of time I had been getting increasingly concerned by malpractice in the sector that ends up with bad publicity in the newspapers and on the TV. Poor behaviour by a few people and organisations results in a tarnished reputation for the industry as a whole; and it's a shame to admit it but there is some malpractice that is industry-wide.
The self-inflicted reputational damage the industry has been suffering manifests in many ways – a lack of engagement, a lack of trust and much lower levels of saving, investing and insurance than there should be.
For example, in the UK we have the lowest level of savings since 1963. This is systemic and structural problem that needs fixing, especially as it leads to poor outcomes for consumers.
I decided to try to 'do my little bit' by focusing on encouraging the sector to behave in a more trustworthy way in the belief that greater transparency can lead to greater trustworthiness.
Since my very first Transparency Task Force meeting on 6th May 2015 at Senate House, London University and without any backing I have been building an international community of like-minded people who are working together to encourage positive behavioural change in the market.
Since starting all this it has become crystal clear to me that there is much wrong in financial services that desperately needs fixing so bit by bit, one person at a time, I have been establishing a collaborative, campaigning community that is working together to drive behavioural change for the benefit of all including market participants that want to serve the market professionally and ethically.
Here are the sorts of issues we face:
In the UK, even right-of-centre politicians have been expressing a need for the interests of the consumer to be put ahead of the needs of the City; for the sake of the consumer and the long-term interests of the City.
Furthermore, consensus has been forming that 'transparency' is far more than just a powerful watchword; it was a zeitgeist that could drive the change that the consumer deserves and the reputation of the sector desperately needs.
The Transparency Task Force is the collaborative, campaigning community dedicated to driving up the levels of transparency in finacial services, right around the world.
There are now over 250 people involved and they are organised and mobilised into teams.

They, being the City of College Station Planning commission, released the list of new things coming to town!
Let's take a look.
Great Oaks Phase 1A: Still stuck in Phase 1A, Great Oaks is adding three new homes. The reason it's still in 1A was an ambitious (and evil) plan to map out that entire area with high-density townhomes and dump traffic into nearby neighborhoods (instead of major streets).
The Plaza at College Station: The final name of the Plaza Hotel redevelopment ("Plaza at College Station", really? "Lofts" would've been better)
The Barracks II: Apparently The Barracks is going back all the way to Haupt Road.
Wolfies: Another chain restaurant. Anyone heard of this place?
Old Arrington Road: Abandonment! It looks like that that torn-up section may get the axe.
Cottages of College Station: 3.5 acres? 3400 Market Street? Looks like that mysterious unmarked area to the northwest of their plan will be retail after all! They even referred it as "Market Street", like the original Holleman extension PDF (from early 2009, no less) referred it as!

Another Birthday Week
Pretty Baby turned 26 this week and G's sister turned 50. So we had some parties to host/attend. This first set of pictures is of Pretty Baby, Little Baby, our new daughter in-law, JC, and the four little boys.
This next set is from my sister in-law's surprise party.
And here are some random shots of Aidan. He has been begging for corn on the cob, and he loves to think of himself as a cowboy. G and I are old-fashioned about guns. We think that kids who grow up knowing about them and have used them/seen the damage that they cause are not the kids who pull the trigger on strangers or loved ones, but that the kids who play violent video games are-they become dissociative. So, yeah, Aidan has a capgun six shooter strapped onto his waist.
