Dumped an SUV for 2012 Camry Hybrid by Nevada on 04/10/2012. Trim: 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Performance is amazing. It'll move when you want it to and save gas when you want to.
Cons: Getting used to less space than our SUV-not the car's fault.
Overall review: Excellent car. We traded in a 16mpg SUV for the 40 mpg this car gets, and while we miss the room of the SUV we love this car. The 2012 is a huge improvement over the previous model.

The South Carolina Highway Patrol is still investigating a wreck on Alljoy Road near Burnt Church Road in Bluffton.
According to our WTOC Bureau at the Island Packet, first responders arrived on scene to find a 2005 Chevy pickup truck on fire. Troopers say a 29-year-old Bluffton resident and a 23-year-old man managed to get out of the truck.
One passenger, a 26-year-old man, was ejected from the vehicle. He was flown by Life Star to a nearby hospital. None of the victims' names or conditions is available at this time. Investigators believe the driver lost control of the truck after passing another vehicle.

Two new pictures of Gollum from 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey'
Something something Hobbit... blah blah blah something something 'precious.' I don't feel like making any typical comments about the one ring or someone's precious or taters, so I won't. I'll just share with you these two new images from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, courtesy of E!. It shows the amazingly talented Andy Serkis as Gollum behind-the-scenes in his motion-capture gear, and then in final, animated form.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey follows a Hobbit from The Shire, Bilbo Baggins, who gets drawn into a quest of epic proportions by the powerful wizard Gandalf to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was conquered by the dragon Smaug. On his journey, he meets a character that'll change his life — Gollum — and comes into possession of the one ring.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey releases December 14, 2012, followed by The Hobbit: there and Back Again on December 13, 2013. There have been recent reports that a third movie may follow those in 2014.

Hello all, the sequel to Madness Hunt has FINALLY arrived after about 22 hard months of work. I know that the prequel to this was a piece of crap, but this is NOT crappy! I really worked my ass off on this animation. I originally started this on September 24, 2008, but lost the file while I was about 84% done. The last day I was able to work on the original edition was May 14, 2009.
Then later on, exactly one year after originally beginning, I started this edition on September 24, 2009. And I finally finished this after a long, long, time. So I hope you enjoy!! And, despite how bad it was, it IS a necessity to watch Madness Hunt 1 BEFORE this. The link can be found at the preloader screen of this animation.
Three users,
YeOldeApple (formerly known as KingApple), Gabriel Barsch, and NewgroundsDummie, were all at one point willing to do voice acting for this, but they never got through in the end, sorry guys.....
And I could NOT have gotten this submitted without my good friend nggangsterpimp. He not only helped me reduce the file size significantly for this, but for Madness Hunt 1 as well.
Thanks to everybody, including the three users who ended up as voice actors- Nevermind (formerly known as Dunso), boss30, and FatKidWitAJetPak.
Total Time Spent on this Animation: September 24, 2008 - July 6, 2010

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WSAU) - The recent scandals involving the Internal Revenue Service have Members of Congress from both political parties upset.
3rd District Congressman Ron Kind is one of many sounding off about their spending problems. "Nothing infuriates you quicker than when public servants betray the public trust. We see that in a recent report where they (IRS) spent over 50-million on so-called education conferences over the last couple of years, on lavish dinners, and exorbitant speaking fees when we're asking everyone to tighten their belt and try to reign in spending with the large budget deficits." He adds, "We've got sequestration taking effect, and 75-thousand 3 and 4-year-old kids are going to get kicked out of Head Start, 5-million seniors are going to lose their Meals on Wheels, and then you have the IRS agency out there having exorbitant, expensive conferences around the country and that is inexcusable."
Kind says the IRS Cincinnati office which handles non-profit applications was clearly not staffed or prepared for the explosion of new applications in 2010 and 2011, but he says the situation was not handled properly, and leaving many applicants feeling they were treated unfairly or that they were being profiled. "It looks as if that's what the IRS was doing, at least coming out of this Cincinnati office, who admittedly was overwhelmed with tax-exempt applications after the Citizens United case, but they needed to establish more neutral criteria in reviewing those applications, and that clearly wasn't the case here."
Kind says the criteria for non-profit status needs to be more clear, and Congress needs to review this and make changes so these problems cannot happen again. He says the investigation by the Inspector General has not led to high ranking officials or the White House, and that the problem with non-profit applications is at the Cincinnati office. Kind also wants to see better transparency rules in place so that non-profits cannot hide their donors.

In his first and only interview, "The X Factor" judge Simon Cowell breaks his silence to "Extra's" Terri Seymour about the recent exit of judges Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul, and host Steve Jones.
Seymour asked when Cowell and FOX execs first began discussing changes. He said, "At the beginning of the year-- and we were told it had to happen straight away."
In a shocking move for the second season of Simon Cowell's "X Factor," cast members and judges, Nicole Scherzinger, Paula Abdul, and host Steve Jones are joining the ranks of the unemployed.
"Extra" sources reveal FOX felt the heat from NBC's wildly popular "The Voice," and felt it needed to switch things up -- something Simon had predicted during the finale. He said, "There will be changes. You have to think what the viewers like, what they didn't like... be smart."

Ten Things I Love: Suzanne's Knifaway
Welcome to our weekend marathon of readers' favorite things from their kitchens. Sara Kate asked you to share your favorite things last week in her email, and we received some really wonderful responses. We're going to show you a last few over today and tomorrow, starting with this one from Suzanne.
Suzanne sent us just one favorite thing, and we have to admit that it looks pretty interesting!
ETA: Suzanne asked us to add a few details that clarify her relationship to this product and her enthusiasm for it.
Suzanne asked us to edit her note below in response to reader comments about the photos. Her added text is in bold.
Suzanne says:
Here are some pictures of a new gadget which really made my life less cluttered. It's a knife holder which fits inside a cupboard door. I have a large house but surprisingly little counter space and with 3 teenagers it seems my counter is always full. This handy dandy device replaced my knife block while keeping it easy to grab a knife and store it away again. It's space-effective, very inexpensive and quite ingenious. It is called a 'KNIFAWAY' (talk about an appropriate name) and I got it at our office gift exchange a year ago.
I searched and FINALLY found the company who makes them and decided to import them and make them more readily available on the web because everyone in my family wanted one.
The pictures on the KNIFAWAY website are truly from my own kitchen and I built the website myself. My parents even put one in their motorhome!
Thank you Suzanne! This looks like a good storage solution for kitchen knives -- at least in homes without small kids (or pets, perhaps). Here's more about the Knifaway:

I love the idea, but the website didn't offer much info. I'd like to know if it will dull the tips of your blades, or if the knives will rattle around if it's a little loose in there...
Fine for an adult-only household.
Uhm, anyone else notice that Suzanne's cabinet and lazy-susan setup is suspiciously similar to the kitchen pictured on the product's website?
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with pushing your product if you think people here will appreciate it, but a full disclosure would be nice.
mh330, you are right. It does seem to be the same cabinet. I think it looks like a nice product, but I don't like being lied to (i.e. "I got it at our office exchange."). If you want to push your own products, just tell us that is what you are doing.
haha. it's even the same laminate flooring on their site (seen on the "installation" page: http://www.knifaway.com/index_files/Page708.htm )
Geez...mh330's spot on. I didn't even notice it at first. No wonder the website looked so fishy. Shenanigans!
haha nice try tho! i mean you have to give credit where it's due.. she made it on the sight.. AND it does actually seem like a good product.
Hi all,
I am the Suzanne in question and this IS my favourite thing because it is so simple, space-efficient and practical. This was introduced to me by a friend through a gift exchange and I thought it was so brilliant I ended up deciding to bring them in. I thought it was about time there was an affordable and effective alternative on the market. This design has been in use in Japan for quite a while so it is a proven concept. My kids were never really much into my kitchen cupboards but for those of you with little ones around, I recommend latching that cabinet door just like you do for the cabinet under the sink where most of us store dangerous cleaning products. Please do not hesitate to write me if you want more info but basically what you see is what you get. It doesn't get any simpler than this. This product has been thoroughly tested by my 3 teenagers and it is still as solid as the day we first installed it!

The NSABP is a cooperative group that had its start in 1958, but was officially formed in 1971, to conduct clinical trials in breast and colorectal cancer research. The National Cancer Institute is the primary source of funding for NSABP member institutions to conduct NSABP clinical trials. Current membership includes research sites at nearly 1,000 medical centers in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Ireland, and Australia.
The NSABP has played a vital role in improving the treatment of women with breast cancer and has made many contributions in the management of colon and rectal cancers. During its nearly 50-year history, more than 110,000 women and men were enrolled in NSABP clinical trials, and results of NSABP studies have had a major impact on both the clinical care and the biological understanding of cancer.
The NSABP sponsored the Breast Cancer Prevention Trial, a landmark breast cancer study that determined the effectiveness of tamoxifen in preventing the occurrence of breast cancer in women at high risk for the disease.

Discover more resources for these services: Virtual Machines
Creating a virtual machine that is running the Linux operating system is easy when you use the Image Gallery in the Azure Management Portal. This guide assumes that you have no prior experience using Azure. You can create a virtual machine running the Linux operating system in the cloud that you can access and customize.
You don't need any experience with Azure VMs to finish this tutorial. However, you do need an Azure account. You can create a free trial account in just a couple of minutes. For details, see Create an Azure account.
You will learn:
Note: This tutorial creates a virtual machine that is not connected to a virtual network. If you want a virtual machine to use a virtual network, you must specify the virtual network when you create the virtual machine. For more information about virtual networks, see Azure Virtual Network Overview.
A virtual machine in Azure is a server in the cloud that you can control and manage. After you create a virtual machine in Azure, you can delete and re-create it whenever you need to, and you can access the virtual machine just as you do with a server in your office. Virtual hard disk (VHD) files are used to create a virtual machine. The following types of VHDs are used for a virtual machine:
The following options are available for using images to create a virtual machine:
Each virtual machine resides in a cloud service, either by itself, or grouped with other virtual machines. You can place virtual machines in the same cloud service to enable the virtual machines to communicate with each other, to load-balance network traffic among virtual machines, and to maintain high availability of the machines. For more information about cloud services and virtual machines, see the "Execution Models" section in Introducing Azure.
You use the From Gallery method to create a custom virtual machine in the Management Portal. This method provides more options for configuring the virtual machine when you create it, such as the connected resources, the DNS name, and the network connectivity if needed.
Sign in to the Azure Management Portal. On the command bar, click New.
Click Virtual Machine, and then click From Gallery.
From Choose an Image, select an image from one of the lists. (The available images may differ depending on the subscription you're using.) Click the arrow to continue.
If multiple versions of the image are available, in Version Release Date, pick the version you want to use.
In Virtual Machine Name, type the name that you want to use. For this virtual machine, type MyTestVM1.
In Size, select the size that you want to use for the virtual machine. The size that you choose depends on the number of cores that are needed for your application. For this virtual machine, choose the smallest available size.
In New User Name, type the name of the account that you will use to administer the virtual machine. You cannot use root for the user name. For this virtual machine, type NewUser1.
Under Authentication, check Provide a Password. Then, provide the required information and click the arrow to continue.
You can place virtual machines together in the cloud service, but for this tutorial, you're only creating a single virtual machine. To do this, select Create a new cloud service.
In Cloud Service DNS Name, type a name that uses between 3 and 24 lowercase letters and numbers. This name becomes part of the URI that is used to contact the virtual machine through the cloud service. For this virtual machine, type MyService1.
In Region/Affinity Group/Virtual Network, select where you want to locate the virtual machine.
You can select a storage account where the VHD file is stored. For this tutorial, accept the default setting of Use an Automatically Generated Storage Account.
Under Availability Set, for the purposes of this tutorial use the default setting of None. Click the check mark to create the virtual machine, and then click the arrow to continue.
Under VM Agent, decide whether to install the VM Agent. This agent provides the environment for you to install extensions that can help you interact with the virtual machine. For details, see Manage Extensions.
Under Endpoints, review the endpoint that's automatically created to allow Secure Shell (SSH) connections to the virtual machine. (Endpoints allow resources on the Internet or other virtual networks to communicate with a virtual machine.) You can add more endpoints now, or create them later. For instructions on creating them later, see How to Set Up Endpoints to a Virtual Machine.
After the virtual machine and cloud service are created, the Management Portal lists the new virtual machine under Virtual Machines and lists the cloud service under Cloud Services. Both the virtual machine and the cloud service are started automatically.
To manage the settings of the virtual machine and the applications that run on the machine, you can use an SSH client. To do this, you must install an SSH client on your computer that you want to use to access the virtual machine. There are many SSH client programs that you can choose from. The following are possible choices:
This tutorial shows you how to use the PuTTY program to access the virtual machine.
Find the Host Name and Port information from the Management Portal. You can find the information that you need from the dashboard of the virtual machine. Click the virtual machine name and look for the SSH Details in the Quick Glance section of the dashboard.
Open the PuTTY program.
Enter the Host Name and the Port information that you collected from the dashboard, and then click Open.
Log on to the virtual machine using the NewUser1 account that you specified when the machine was created.
You can now work with the virtual machine just as you would with any other server.
Your application may need to store data. To set this up, you attach a data disk to the virtual machine that you previously created. The easiest way to do this is to attach an empty data disk to the machine.
Note: Data Disk vs. Resource Disk Data Disks reside on Azure Storage and can be used for persistent storage of files and application data.
Each virtual machine created also has a temporary local Resource Disk attached. Because data on a resource disk may not be durable across reboots, it is often used by applications and processes running in the virtual machine for transient and temporary storage of data. It is also used to store page or swap files for the operating system.
On Linux, the Resource Disk is typically managed by the Azure Linux Agent and automatically mounted to /mnt/resource (or /mnt on Ubuntu images). Note that the resource disk is a temporary disk, and might be emptied when the VM is deprovisioned. On the other hand, on Linux the data disk might be named by the kernel as /dev/sdc, and users will need to partition, format and mount that resource. Please see the Azure Linux Agent User Guide for more information.
If you have not already done so, sign in to the Azure Management Portal.
Click Virtual Machines, and then select the MyTestVM1 virtual machine that you previously created.
On the command bar, click Attach, and then click Attach Empty Disk.
The Attach Empty Disk dialog box appears.
The Virtual Machine Name, Storage Location, and File Name are already defined for you. All you have to do is enter the size that you want for the disk. Type 5 in the Size field.
Note: All disks are created from a VHD file in Azure storage. You can provide a name for the VHD file that is added to storage, but the name of the disk is automatically generated.
Click the check mark to attach the data disk to the virtual machine.
You can verify that the data disk is successfully attached to the virtual machine by looking at the dashboard. Click the name of the virtual machine to display the dashboard.
The number of disks is now 2 for the virtual machine and the disk that you attached is listed in the Disks table.
The data disk that you just attached to the virtual machine is offline and not initialized after you add it. You must log on to the machine and initialize the disk to use it for storing data.
Connect to the virtual machine by using the steps listed above in How to log on to the virtual machine after you create it.
In the SSH window, type the following command, and then enter the account password:
sudo grep SCSI /var/log/messages
You can find the identifier of the last data disk that was added in the messages that are displayed.
In the SSH window, type the following command to create a new device, and then enter the account password:
sudo fdisk /dev/sdc
In this example you may need to use sudo -i on some distributions if /sbin or /usr/sbin are not in your $PATH.
sudo -i
Type n to create a new partition.
Type p to make the partition the primary partition, type 1 to make it the first partition, and then type enter to accept the default value for the cylinder.
Type p to see the details about the disk that is being partitioned.
Type w to write the settings for the disk.
You must create the file system on the new partition. As an example, type the following command to create the file system, and then enter the account password:
sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdc1
Note that on SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 systems provide only read-only access for ext4 file systems. For these systems it is recommended to format the new file system as ext3 rather than ext4.
Next you must have a directory available to mount the new file system. As an example, type the following command to make a new directory for mounting the drive, and then enter the account password:
sudo mkdir /datadrive
Type the following command to mount the drive:
sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /datadrive
The data disk is now ready to use as /datadrive.
Add the new drive to /etc/fstab:
To ensure the drive is re-mounted automatically after a reboot it must be added to the /etc/fstab file. In addition, it is highly recommended that the UUID (Universally Unique IDentifier) is used in /etc/fstab to refer to the drive rather than just the device name (i.e. /dev/sdc1). To find the UUID of the new drive you can use the blkid utility:
`sudo -i blkid`
The output will look similar to the following:
`/dev/sda1: UUID="11111111-1b1b-1c1c-1d1d-1e1e1e1e1e1e" TYPE="ext4"`
`/dev/sdb1: UUID="22222222-2b2b-2c2c-2d2d-2e2e2e2e2e2e" TYPE="ext4"`
`/dev/sdc1: UUID="33333333-3b3b-3c3c-3d3d-3e3e3e3e3e3e" TYPE="ext4"`
blkid may not require sudo access in all cases, however, it may be easier to run with sudo -i on some distributions if /sbin or /usr/sbin are not in your $PATH.
Caution: Improperly editing the /etc/fstab file could result in an unbootable system. If unsure, please refer to the distribution's documentation for information on how to properly edit this file. It is also recommended that a backup of the /etc/fstab file is created before editing.
Using a text editor, enter the information about the new file system at the end of the /etc/fstab file. In this example we will use the UUID value for the new /dev/sdc1 device that was created in the previous steps, and the mountpoint /datadrive:
`UUID=33333333-3b3b-3c3c-3d3d-3e3e3e3e3e3e /datadrive ext4 defaults 1 2`
Or, on systems based on SUSE Linux you may need to use a slightly different format:
`/dev/disk/by-uuid/33333333-3b3b-3c3c-3d3d-3e3e3e3e3e3e / ext3 defaults 1 2`
If additional data drives or partitions are created you will need to enter them into /etc/fstab separately as well.
You can now test that the file system is mounted properly by simply unmounting and then re-mounting the file system, i.e. using the example mount point /datadrive created in the earlier steps:
`sudo umount /datadrive`
`sudo mount /datadrive`
If the second command produces an error, check the /etc/fstab file for correct syntax.
Subsequently removing a data disk without editing fstab could cause the VM to fail to boot. If this is a common occurrence, then most distributions provide either the nofail and/or nobootwait fstab options that will allow a system to boot even if the disk is not present. Please consult your distribution's documentation for more information on these parameters.

Barbara Vine
The Blood Doctor, is a chilling tale of ambition, obsession and bad blood. Here, in an exclusive interview, we talk to the queen of crime about the inspiration this blood-curdling book and her life in the murky criminal underworld.
How did you get started in crime writing?I don't think that I have really ever been interested in crime, but I rather like puzzles. I wrote my first book, which was a detective story as against a crime novel, to see if I could do it, and because I had a good plot I thought it required an investigating officer and really that's all. I never looked at markets, perhaps I should have done, but I always feel that were I to do that it would be very damaging.
Why did you feel the need to come up with the alter ego Barbara Vine?Before I became Barbara Vine, before I had a pseudonym, I had often left the detective genre and written novels which were crime novels but didn't have any policemen in them and I rather liked doing that. About twenty years, or more after I had first begun to be published, I had an idea for another sort of book and I felt that it was so different to anything that I had done before. I had the idea for years and had worked it all out in my head but I couldn't quite make it work. I couldn't handle it being without coincidence and improbable things. When I did, I realised it would be so different from what I'd done before that I couldn't publish it as Ruth Rendell and then I took the pseudonym using the maiden name from one of my great grandmothers and my own second christian name. I never made a secret of who it was, everyone knew I was writing under a pseudonym and nobody ever seemed to get used to it, and after all the Vine books I have written I am still asked why I did it.
Where did the original idea for The Blood Doctor come from?The original idea for The Blood Doctor came from my being present at every debate held in the House of Lords on the reform question (The House of Lords Bill). I thought it would make an interesting background for a novel to extend over one hundred and fifty years or so and taking the ennoblement of my narrator's great-grandfather. I didn't want it as the main theme because I felt there wouldn't be enough there to hold the attention of people who before reading it would know nothing about it.
How do you think your fellow peers will react to the portrait of the House of Lords, especially as the events described are so recent?My fellow peers might object very much if anything detrimental appeared about any of them, but nothing does. We are a well-mannered house! I wanted to keep it that way through the book. It's not a novel about controversy and dissent primarily, but about change and progress and how the public sees things very differently today from one hundred years ago.
Has leading such a busy life made writing more difficult, and have you thought of using your own life in any of your books?When I went into the House of Lords three and a half years ago, I really didn't know what it would involve, but now I realise that it involves a great deal. I am a working Peer and it is demanding, but I always wrote in the mornings, I have never been one of those writers who could sit down for six to eight hours or more. I write for four hours a day and the two occupations don't really impinge upon one another. Except that of course everything I do, I think about using in fiction, and yes I will use my experience in the House of Lords as a background to a novel. I might say I am doing it now.
Blood diseases, particularly haemophilia, are central to the plot in The Blood Doctor, how much did you know about them before starting to write the book? Did it require a lot of research?Before I started writing The Blood Doctor I knew a little about haemophilia from reading popular history about the Royal Family, but that's really all. What I didn't know then was how inaccurate these books were, almost without exception, on the way the disease works. It invariably results from the female X chromosome, yet all the daughters of a haemophiliac will carry the gene. I came to see how what we heard about haemophilia deriving from the Russian royal family and then from the Spanish royal family was nonsense. Every occurrence in royalty throughout the 19th and 20th centuries results from Queen Victoria and her descendants. I wanted to write a book in which the facts about haemophilia were right, yet, if I could, an exciting novel at the same time. Originally, I meant to call it Bloody Henry, as I considered this an interesting pun of a title, but was dissuaded on the grounds that it sounded too frivolous. I did an enormous amount of research – which I much enjoyed.
Without giving away too much of the book, do you find the central character – Lord Nanther – monstrous or tragic?I don't really get emotionally involved with my characters, I just create them. Obviously, I intend readers to find him monstrous for a large part of the book but ultimately tragic. I think I've made that clear. As is well-known, if readers don't care, there's no point in any of it. Henry would have been dull if he had ended as a villain as he began. He has to see his errors and he has to regret them passionately, as I think anyone would who had brought himself to his situation.
Do you read any contemporary crime writing?I read some contemporary crime, and the other day I was sent some Nicholas Freeling. I read a lot of his old work and I think how clever he is and how very well he writes about these European settings in Holland or in France. I really enjoyed it very much.
Could you tell us about books that have influenced you, or ones that you just like?I was looking on my bookshelves, my many bookshelves, the other day for a novel and I noticed that there were three paperbacks side by side and they were the The Catcher in the Rye, Salinger, To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee, and Ford's, The Good Soldier. Of these The Good Soldier is my favourite and the others very much among my favourites. They were there oddly side by side, probably because I had re-read them quite recently and put them back next to each other.

It is common knowledge that Singaporeans are hard workers. A recent survey by Jobstreet.com has found that nine out of 10 employees regularly work beyond their official hours. Overloading of work and high-pressure deadlines were the main reasons why locals feel they are unable to have work-life harmony.
The most alarming part of the study is this: only 30% of respondents felt that their companies had initiatives in place to promote work-life balance, while almost half said their companies only paid lip service to work-life balance.
Many experts say that companies which choose to ignore the well-being of staff do so at their own peril. "Multiple studies have reported that employers who focus their efforts on cultivating a culture of healthy work-life balance tend to benefit greatly – from higher levels of engagement within the company to enhanced productivity and profitability," notes Clement Goh, Managing Director, Equinix South Asia.
When asked if work-life harmony is merely a myth in workaholic Singapore, many HR professionals say that more can be done to ensure the well-being of staff.
Sonia Cargan, vice president of HR – Asia, American Express, says that work-life balance is a critical part of the employee value proposition in her organisation.
"Companies need to foster a culture of respect and trust for employees," says Cargan. "It is becoming more critical that employers recognise the different needs of employee segments and adopt approaches and a culture where all employees can grow and succeed."
At American Express, flexible work arrangements (FWAs) help ensure staff have a healthy work-life balance. FWAs range from staggered working hours to remote, off-site work areas. They also offer employees childcare and flexi-leave benefits that are above and beyond statutory requirements.
Communication is key to unlocking work-life balance, says Singapore's Land Transport Authority (LTA).
"To ensure the success of work-life policies, the most important factor is to have open communication with staff," says Alice Tan, Group Director (Corporate Serices), LTA. "Open communication also allows employees' feedback to be obtained, encouraging a culture of trust, enhancing employee engagement, and creating a healthy work environment."
LTA has programmes focused on meeting the needs of staff at different life stages, breaking them down into various categories such as: married staff, singles, and the mature workforce. In addition, it allows staff to make FWAs that create balance between their work and personal commitments.
Most HR practitioners agree that for work-life harmony to begin, there needs to buy-in from top management.
"Business leaders need to truly walk the talk in order for things to happen and for HR programmes and policies to actualise," explains Goh. "The first step for HR professionals is really to convince senior management teams that work-life skills are just as important as technical know-how. In fact, once top management makes the commitment, implementation can be fairly easy."
However, the responsibility of work-balance does not only lie with employers alone, but is also controlled by employees to a certain extent.
"While the demand for work-life solutions has skyrocketed, many policies have fallen short of their promise and potential to deliver – primarily as a result of the unhealthy mindsets workers have developed over the years," says Goh.
He added that younger workers have cultivated an unhealthy mentality that associates longer working hours with hard workers. "As such, many business leaders actually struggle to implement and make work-life policies work," he noted.
Eugene Lam, HR Director, Applied Materials concurs. "Many Gen Y workers want to work hard and long hours, so it may be hard to enforce work-life integration practices," he observes.
Despite the challenges involved, Lam also notes that it is HR's role to be the 'conscience' of management when it comes to work-life practices in policies.
According to Shalini Bhateja, Global Talent Development Director, Schneider Electric, the work situation is changing and trust is the key to navigating these changes.
"When there is trust between management and employees, there will be better work-life balance," she says. "Gone are the days when you need to work later than your boss – it's not about the hours you work, it's about productivity. Organisations that fail to acknowledge this will not attract or retain the best talent."
HRM Asia forum is the place for positive industry interaction and
welcomes your professional and informed opinion.

Like its contemporaries, the Pioneer BDR-203 and Panasonic SW-5584, LG's new BH08LS20 ($279) is a competitively featured 5.25" half-height (HH) Blu-ray recorder that writes, rewrites and reads all prerecorded (ROM), rewritable (RE/RW/RAM) and recordable (R) DVD, CD and BD disc formats. Commonalities aside, LG tries its darnedest to set its offerings apart and so incorporates LightScribe in many of its BD writers, including the BH08LS20 (a vanilla non-LightScribe BH08NS20 is available in some markets).
The BH08LS20 package I received covered all the bases with everything from mounting screws and Serial ATA (SATA) cables to a simple but ample software suite, consisting of CyberLink's PowerDVD 7.3, Power2GO 6, LabelPrint 2, PowerProducer 5, MediaShow 4, PowerBackup 2, and BD Advisor. It offers a taste of everything from data, audio, still image, and video disc recording to labeling, backup and movie playback. For example, for those seeking to create straightforward home video titles, PowerProducer authors SD or HD material in all of the major BD (BD-R/RE AV, BD-ROM AV), DVD (-V, ±VR, AVCHD) and CD (VCD, SVCD, DivX) application formats.
To avoid any nasty surprises, newcomers should be mindful of the significant PC system requirements needed to author BD video discs and play commercial Blu-ray movies.
Looking at hard numbers, the BH08SL20 writes single-and dual-layer BD-Rs at 8x, single-layer DVD±Rs at 16x, dual-layer DVD±R DLs at 4x and CD-Rs at 48x speeds. During my evaluation, the unit turned out to be a tad speedier than its competitors for some duties but a smidgen slower for others. For example, using Nero DiscSpeed software for performance benchmarking, single layer BD-Rs wrote in an impressive 13 minutes or so, single layer BD-REs in roughly 40 minutes, DVD±R SL in six minutes and CD-Rs in three minutes (see chart, below). DVD±R DL burning, on the other hand, clocked in at a more disappointing 27 minutes and reading AACS-encrypted BD-ROM AV (HDMV/BD-J) discs maxed out at a leisurely 5x CAV speed.
The BH08LS20 also impressed me with its ability to write, at its full 8x speed, some 2x, 4x and 6x-rated BD-Rs. According to LG's technical folks, these include many of the single-layer discs from Verbatim/MKM, MBI/Glyphics Media, TDK, Sony, Ritek/Advanced Media, Maxell, LG, Panasonic and CMC Magnetics and dual-layer discs from TDK and Panasonic (see chart, below). My assessment bore this out, as I was able to successfully burn at 8x a number of 4x-rated discs from MBI/Glyphics Media, TDK and Verbatim/MKM. And, to round things out, I had no trouble writing fifteen out of the fifteen manufacturers of 16x-rated DVD-Rs and eight out of the nine DVD+Rs.
Thanks to its LighScribe facility, the BH08LS20 can easily draw monochrome labels directly on the face of specially coated media (burn as usual, flip over the disc and put it back into the recorder, which then uses its laser to render the image). It's worth noting that LightScribe compatible BD-Rs have yet to be introduced and, as far as I can tell, none are on the horizon.
Using the latest version of HP's free LightScribe Template Labeler software it took the BH08LS20 roughly 30 and 24 minutes, in best and normal quality modes, to generate full face images (e.g., Film Reel) on Verbatim color-background DVD-R discs. And, as might be expected, partial surface designs (e.g., Race Day) took proportionally less time and completed in nine and seven minutes respectively.
Peppy, compatible and complete, LG's new Super Multi Blue Rewriter BH08LS20 hits the spot. Although slower at times and priced at a premium over its competitors, the BH08LS20 remains the only high-speed solution for those seeking an all-in-one BD, DVD and CD recorder with LightScribe capability.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- This has to be a grand slam of some kind.
In a year that already has featured a Sugar Bowl win, a men's basketball national championship and a women's basketball national runner-up finish, the University of Louisville will take one last stab at a title. The Cardinals' baseball team is headed to Omaha for the NCAA College World Series.They advanced by stunning No. 2-ranked Vanderbilt with a 2-1 victory on Sunday to swipe back-to-back wins in Nashville against a team that lost only four games at home during the regular season and had not lost back-to-back games at home since 2009.The Cardinals head back to the College World Series for the second time in their history. They last advanced in 2007. U of L did it behind a sterling pitching performance by junior right-hander Jeff Thompson. The Floyd Central High School product struck out nine Vanderbilt players in seven innings, giving up only three hits and one run.And the Cards needed him to be that good. After taking a 2-0 lead in the second on RBI singles by Zak Wasserman and Sutton Whiting, they left the bases loaded after chasing Vandy's 14-0 starter, Tyler Beede, in the third, then grounded into a bases-loaded double play to end the fourth and left runners at first and second in the third to end the fifth.Vandy, meanwhile, couldn't take advantage of its own chances. It left runners at first and second to end the fifth before pulling within one run on a Zander Wiel home run in the sixth. The Commodores stranded a runner in scoring position in both the seventh and eighth, before Nick Burdi came on to pitch the ninth. The Cards were 45-0 when leading after eight, but this wasn't the usual ninth.After striking out the first batter, Burdi gave up a one-out single to John Norwood and Louisville coach Dan McDonnell made the unusual move of pulling his closer, bringing in left-hander Cody Ege to face Vandy leadoff man Tony Kemp.Ege got Kemp to fly to left, but it wasn't over yet. Xavier turner singled to right, moving Norwood to third base, and bringing up Mike Yastrzemski. Ege struk him out swinging and the dogpile was on in front of the pitcher's mound and several hundred U of L fans chanted "Omaha."

Coffee Talk
The coffee table is the glue that holds the style and the social space of a living room or family room together. In others words, the coffee table is important. Which is why we have crafted a brief guide to help you in selecting the perfect one for your home, whether that happens to be a mansion or a one-bedroom apartment--either way, there are sure to be tables that complete it.
The Size and Shape
A general guide to picking the best coffee table that best matches your living space is to choose one that is about the same height as your sofa cushions, or slightly lower. Typically, it should measure no more than two-thirds the sofa's total length. And it works best if you can keep about two feet of clearance around each side. Simply put, you don't want a coffee table that dwarfs its surroundings, and vice versa.
After you've given your trusty tape measure a workout, consider the shape of your new table. Does a round style suit your taste and the decor that you've created? Maybe a square choice is a better fit. Rectangular may be the most popular, but oval works well, too, especially if you are baby-proofing or want to get rid of sharp corners. For a more eclectic look, choose a triangular, octagonal, or even an irregular or natural shape.
The Make and Models
Two of the most popular categories when it comes to materials are wood and glass. Wood is a great choice when the table is going to see a lot of action--from adult get-togethers where it hosts cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, to kiddie gatherings where it will hold everything from video game controls to snacks.
A glass coffee table makes an ideal center piece to showcase some of your special belongings or heirloom decor. A glass tabletop can also be a good choice for small spaces to create a light and open feeling. Metal makes a modern or rustic look in turns, when supporting a glass or wood tabletop. For an ultra-modern or ultra-industrial style, choose an all-metal table.
Your Needs and Functionality
Another important factor is how it will be used. Sometimes a coffee table is a catchall for the mail, car keys, purses, and other everyday items. Sometimes it's not for those things at all. Instead, it's an open palette that offers a quiet welcome to anyone who comes in the room. And it is the perfect canvas for displaying your favorite accents.
Or maybe it's a place to store things. Board games, blankets, books--and those are just things that start with "b." Coffee tables with drawers, shelves, and hidden storage areas are very handy and versatile. Lift-top styles can open to hold a plethora of useful items that nevertheless need to be neatly stowed, like remote controls, magazines, and video games. Storage ottomans are wildly popular for their ample space that accommodates throws, pillows, and more.
Modern and Traditional Design
A catchall, a workspace, a display for cherished decor – there are all sorts of uses for the ubiquitous coffee table. And whether you go with glass, wood, or metal, you can be sure that there is a style that fits you just right. Modern tables or a more traditional look-–whatever you are searching for, you are sure to find it among the hundreds of choices here.

Is Necessity still the mother of all inventions?
The question is simple and straight forward. I am thankful for all the inventions that is making our life easier and giving us various options. But does this old famous proverb still make the same sense?
For example, how necessary is the "Foldable" mobile phone?
It would be great to get to know different perceptions on this thought which will help me with a study.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - Former Gov. Ed Rendell is criticizing Pennsylvania Democrats over their call for a moratorium on fracking.
The Democratic State Committee voted last weekend in favor of an open-ended moratorium on fracking. That's the technique drilling companies use to extract natural gas from the Marcellus Shale. Opponents contend fracking is an environmental menace, but drilling companies and many regulators say the technique is safe.
Rendell, who has indirect ties to the gas industry, says in an interview with The Patriot-News of Harrisburg that the party's call to put the brakes on fracking is "ill-advised," noting it has created jobs and wealth.
His former environmental secretary, John Hanger, says he's in favor of the existing moratorium in state forests, and strict regulation on private property. Hanger, also a Democrat, is running for governor.

85 pages | Logan House Press, 2011 | $16
—We reprint here, with the author's permission, William Kloefkorn's foreword to Sam Stenger Renken's book of poems, Where to Start.
Sam Renken earned his spurs as he was growing up in the Nebraska Sandhills. Not many folks, including Nebraskans, know much, if anything, about those Sandhills. I am reasonably ignorant of them myself, though on several occasions I have tried to make their acquaintance; but the more I learned the more I realized I had more to learn than time to learn it. They are vast. They comprise more than 18,000 square miles of vegetated sand dunes, the largest expanse of its type in the western hemisphere. Under it lies an aquifer that stretches all the way from Ogallala in the Cornhusker State, to Texas—and back. Horses and cattle and big and little bluestem and blowouts and penstemon and sky and ranch homes separated by enough space to lose an astronaut in. And in each home a family, and one of the families was the Renkens. And one of the Renkens was Sam Renken, earning his spurs.
Now, after more than a few years away from his early home in the Nebraska Sandhills, Sam has put together his first book-length collection of poems, and it pleases me that so many of them, in a variety of ways and degrees, reveal connections to the writer's upbringing. I do not mean to suggest that the poems are limited to a single influence, however vast that influence might be. Not at all. They cover an impressive range of subjects and forms, of perceptions and attitudes, of people and places. But the tie that consistently and blessedly binds them is the poet's knowledge of, and gut feeling for, the Sandhills. And always—that is, always—he is willing to learn. In "Trail Riding," for example, as he and his fellow rider are navigating through yucca and dust, he is advised not to guide his horse with reins, but
"instead to
think about moving with four legs
you never had but wanted, think about weaving
around the prairie dog holes and outcroppings
of sandstone,
think turn,
think wait,
think each hoof back to the barn."
There is mystery in those lines, and an implicit definition of faith that lifts the poem above and beyond the literal. The reader moves over the lines and is compelled to think. Sam listens to them and, though he knows one hell of a lot about horses, and probably knows a little something about himself, he seems willing to listen and to learn something more. Call it a fortunate union of curiosity and humility. Many individual lines in Renken's poems struck me with their freshness:
"…the height so great, falling meant death with time to think about it."
"She was the woman choir-wright who reminded me of a grizzly when she sang." (But she's a grizzly with a peculiar concern for the spiritual; she says, "If only God would just come down and let us measure him.")
"You have to start
where you want
to finish."
And after summer break, returning to classes, Renken anticipates a change of season with this remarkable personification:
"Did you feel fall walk across town
from the snow-capped range,
wearing a backpack and looking virginal?"
His poems surprise and illuminate, and once in a while he allows himself to indulge a modicum of philosophy:
"And the more I thought about it, life is a
force and a direction one
second and then another,
wearing all of us thin, quantifiably."
Or he gives us a striking image of a blue heron as it
"traced the steaming
top of your river,
past willow trees surrounded by wild
rye grass, sagebrush,"
a river with its
"…alpine pennycress
and cattails
who are just starting to wear their weighty
tutus with just enough fluff down low
to know the wind will strip
them naked soon."
Or a prose poem that clearly and relentlessly, and with gentle mercy, recounts the destruction of a starving horse that was beyond redemption….
Or, finally, the poems that reflect Sam's concern for his extended families, such as . . . the college buddies with whom he stays in contact, but also his blood family—parents, grandparents, and most essentially his day-into-day family, his wife, Maggie, and their two young daughters. In a truly splendid poem titled "619 S 6th," he writes of anticipating a move from one place to another, writes of "What I won't remember about this place… ," then gives the reader a specific and compelling and wonderfully thoughtful list of what he'll not remember.
"I won't remember," he concludes,
"…how these days were perfect,
how the air between us was glowing like something here watched
our daily maneuvers in wonder and wanted us to keep going."
Seems to me that for Sam Renken home is that place where he and those with and beside him choose finally to go. And those places go with him and with Maggie, and by familial osmosis they go with their daughters—the Nebraska Sandhills, 619 S 6th, and all the other places where already he has hung his hat, and all those other uncharted trails that lie ahead.
