Weekend Meditation: Saturday Morning Rituals
When I did the Meet the Re-Nest Team series a few months ago, one of the questions I asked the writers was to describe their ideal Saturday morning. I find that when I don't know someone very well, discovering how they like to spend a Saturday morning gives me an insightful glance into who they are. Why is that? Maybe it's because Saturday morning imparts a sense of freedom and opportunity (no school, no work); it recalls feelings of relaxation, enjoyment, and play. It's how we choose to spend our time when we're not fighting the daily grind, which in turn tells us what we really value. So I'm wondering: do you have a Saturday morning ritual?
As I wrote in my short interview, I'm a fan of taking the first few hours on Saturday morning to eat a yummy breakfast, drink great coffee, and read. Nothing fancy. Just lazy, lazy, lazy. But the most ideal situation is if I can do all this in a clean, neat, chore-free apartment. I usually devote at least some part of my weekend to cleaning, but if I'm extra lucky in a given week, I'll have finished all my chores before Saturday, and then I'll wake up to a clean, sunny apartment with no looming laundry, scrubbing, or straightening to face later in the day. Just all the time in the world to read, write, think, listen, and take the day in with one big spontaneous we'll-see-how-it-goes breath.
What about you? How do you spend a Saturday morning?

I grab a fiber one bar and the paddle boards and head to Wailea beach. I'm learning to stand up paddle and early in the morning is best before the wind picks up and it's less crowded.
I'm addicted to Sell This House. I spend my Saturday mornings watching episode after episode and enjoying a few strong cups of coffee.
We get up whenever the heck we want and I make a "big breakfast"; skillet potatoes, eggs, pancakes, sausage, bacon, smoothies and coffee. My kids love their big breakfast Saturdays. Then we head down to the beach to sleep (the hubs and I) or swim (my girls) the food coma away! :)
I'm a park ranger / naturalist so my "Saturdays" are usually weekdays, but if I'm on vacation at the beach, I breathe in the salt air, watch the seagulls, maybe walk on the beach. Then eat eggs and homefries while enjoying the local newspaper.
Ideally, I grab the paper, turn on a TV show I don't really have to pay attention to, make coffee, and hang out with the cat till everyone else gets up.
Right after I wake up, I make coffee then check my emails. After about an hour or so, my boyfriend and I will head to the farmers market and Whole Foods to get our groceries for the week. In the afternoon, we usually get a late lunch with friends or see a movie at the Alamo Drafthouse (best movie theater on the planet). We usually finish off the day with drinks at a local bistro.
My time always gets away from me in the mornings! But I PREFER to start my days off with a short jog/run, then a simple breakfast, a book, some good music, and some petting of the cat.
Well, today, my mother and I scrubbed the tile floors in her kitchen and some brick steps on our hands and knees for more than two hours. But that is definitely not my ideal Saturday.
I like sleeping late, going somewhere fun, and drinking or eating with friends.
My favorite way to spend Saturday morning is asleep. It seems like I never get enough sleep during the week.
on the off Saturday I'm not working, I like to spend half an hour after waking up just rolling around and enjoying my blankets and sunshine. Then, I might spend some time making a nice breakfast and enjoy some tea. Usually my "Saturday morning" is Sunday morning, when I'll go to an early morning church service and when i get home change into my pjs for the rest of the day.
My husband makes breakfast while I straighten up the house (make beds, etc) and my son plays. We then have a nice family breakfast, and follow it up with Skype-ing with our friends and family back in the US. We try to finish by noon, and then head out for an afternoon of playing on the beach, or going on a hike, or just hanging out with neighbors and friends.
for me, M-F means waking up at 6:30am, and i am NOT a morning person :(
so Saturday is for sleeping in, at least until 9 and on a good day until 11. then a nice, decadent breakfast - usually bacon, eggs over medium and toast with butter. then the farmer's market for my week's worth of fruit and veg. the rest of the day is for spending with my sweetheart - it's our only day of the week when neither of us has to work, so we always spend it together.
Recently, I've come to absolutely adore Saturday mornings. My boyfriend lazes in bed until noon, so I have the whole morning for myself. My favorite is getting up for Bootcamp at 7:30am, stopping by the coffee shop on my way home to shower and change before heading out to pick up my CSA share. Then I stop by the store for supplement groceries before heading home to start brunch. If I'm on the ball, I can get some cleaning done as well. By noon, the apartment is lovely, food is cooking, and I'm relaxed and ready for the rest of the weekend.

Reviewed on 17/05/2014 by Yazzie
Since I have long, thick, frizzy and very curly hair I wanted to ditch my old straighteners and invest in some new ones. I was looking at the ghds as I got some for my tenth birthday but unfortunately they were fake so decided to try again and thought the wider plate ones would be easier for me than the original slim ones. I was so excited to try these and I am glad I did and they are worth every single penny it's the best thing I have bought with my money. The plates are so smooth and glide effortlessly through the hair. I also used the voucher for the free heat protection spray and it smells absolutely gorgeous. I am so satisfied.

First time i've bought Ghd's and they are fantastic. I have quite frizzy hair and chose to buy the wideplates as it would be quicker to do my hair and i get my hair done in about 10 mins! I dont need to straighten everyday either which is a bonus. Would definately recommend these to anyone particularly those with frizzy or alot of hair.

Gubernatorial hopeful Boughton says GOP needs to embrace Connecticut's cities
With less than three weeks until the Republican nominating convention, gubernatorial hopeful Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton is wrestling for delegates, ambling toward a primary where he hopes he can be his party's ambassador to the cities, a weak spot for the party in previous elections. "The Republicans have done a horrible job at communicating their message in the cities. ... I think that part of the problem is Republicans have not respected the people living in the cities and just don't understand where they're coming from," Boughton said. Earlier, he said of himself, "This will be one governor who will pay attention to our cities, who will understand the issues there." Boughton, one of several Republican nominees seeking to unseat...
Mark Greenberg Calls for John Kerry's Resignation
A Jewish candidate for Congress in Connecticut joined some conservative leaders Tuesday in calling for the resignation of Secretary of State John Kerry following his controversial comments about the potential for Israel to become an "apartheid" state. Mark Greenberg, who is seeking the Republican nomination for the 5th Congressional district to run against incumbent Democrat Rep. Elizabeth Esty, said Kerry should resign "or at the very least be removed from the peace process." "Israel is our greatest ally in the Middle East and one of our most reliable allies in the world. Israel is a democracy in a part of the world where democracies are rare and unlike many of its neighbors, Israel allows religious freedoms, and treats...
State Cancels $55 Tax Rebate
The $55 tax rebate announced as a stepping stone to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's bid for re-election is no more. State Budget Secretary Ben Barnes told legislators in a letter Monday that despite original optimism about the state budget, they have not received enough back in taxes to follow through with the proposal—nor do they have enough to make a donation into the state's pension fund. Instead, all surplus funds will be put in the rainy day fund.The initial proposal put some money in the rainy day fund, gave some back to taxpayers, and some to the pension fund. Malloy had been widely criticized by Republicans since the first mention of the $55 give back, with Republicans calling it an "election-year gimmick" and questioning whether there was any...

Clinton was keynote speaker Wednesday at the Edmund Fusco Contemporary Issues Forum, held on the UConn campus. She tasked students listening to her — a generation she branded as one of "tolerant" and "open-minded" people — with "making sure that we remain the kind of country that enables people to live out their dreams as part of the overall mission of America," which she said can't be done...

Robert Esche and Al Montoya… it's gonna be a short trip.
April 15th, 2009
4:40 pm
How can there not be a better goalie than those two availabe in this expansive country of ours? Mike Richter out of retirement would be better or even Jim Craig!
Mike, do you know what your last day and / or assignment will be working as the Thrashers beat writer? Will you have one more interview with Don Waddell?
I'd really like to know if he is actively working on re-signing Marty Reasoner, Nate Oystrick and Joey Crabb before too long. Obviously, he needs to wait until 6/25 to work on the RFA's but I'm not too worried about those…I think we'll hold onto Colby, Boris, Anssi and Slates. Thorbsy might be in jeopardy.
April 15th, 2009
4:43 pm
I think its pretty impressive for Colin to be named to the team. Congratulations!
I was trying to figure out his place with next year's team. If the Thrashers obtain a top 6 forward, perhaps moving Colby to Reasoner's line, and Slater and Boulton stay, and the Thrashers are serious about adding one more big body and have an open forward spot for a younger guy (Crabb, Michalek (sp?), Esposito, whoemever our 4th pick is) then that leaves one other current roster out. Hmmm…
If you had to decide who would take one roster spot between Colin or Jim Slater, who would you take?

Oh yeah, almost forgot, hearty congrats to Colin Stuart!! Good luck to all three of our Thrasher Americans representing the red, white & blue!!

5:18 pm
On the U.S. goalie issue, remember that this is the initial roster. Maybe Montreal knocks off Boston and Tim Thomas joins the U.S. team.
April 15th, 2009
5:36 pm
Thanks Knobs!! You are a class act…we will definitely miss you here in blogland, but I guess there is nothing that says you can't keep blogging in a public forum even from Law School!!
I guess we need to pull for MTL over Boston for a myriad of reasons. However, I think Timmy Thomas may be one of the primary reasons the B's get to the Cup Finals. Sigh. Bogey and Ronsey will just have to do major work to keep shots off Montoya! Wonder if they'll get paired due to familiarity.
One last thing, what is your hunch on Crabb? I'm sure he'll get a contract, but do you think JA really does *want* him to make the Top 20 next year?

Good for Stuart! I look forward to seeing him for a full season next year.
As for Crabb and Oystrick…Crabb hustled all season and would definitely be a good player for a team somewhere, but I just don't think there's room for him here any longer. Thanks, and good luck, Crabber. Oystrick: I really liked what I saw from him, but we now have a glut of young D. Unfortunately, I think he's odd man out. Same with Thorby…we've enjoyed having you here, but it may be time to move on, kid. Good luck!

Huzzah for Mike Knobler. That's certainly going above and beyond the call of duty! We'll miss ya, Mike. You did an excellent job this year.
Congrats to Colin Stuart. I've always liked him. I wouldn't hold my breath for a proactive contract with him, but I hope when his contract does come due that he is renewed.

Great to hear! On team Finland Kari is not going as it stands due to injury? I think that was outdated but he is not in the top 3 goalies available. Rinne is probably the front runner for #1
April 15th, 2009

Stop by and post, Mike! Help keep it going during the slow summer. I guess you can throw out a "Fire Waddell!" statement now, should you want to. I'm guessing you will be following the team wherever you are. Thanks again for your fine body of work this season. You made it seem like you enjoyed your job.

Miller and DiPietro are both recovering from injuries sustained during the NHL season. Thomas is in the playoffs…the next best option, I guess, was Esche (played in KHL) or Montoya (Phoenix did not qualify for the playoffs, obviously). Another option could have been Jordan Parise, but I guess he's not much of a step-up on Esche.
April 16th, 2009
8:24 am
Yeah… so many think Lehtonen is a first round bust… how about Al Montoya?
He's 24 now, and hasn't seen any regular action… only 5 NHL game appearances.
April 16th, 2009
8:45 am
Montoya was stuck behind Blackburn and surprisingly Lundqvist. He had no chance of making the NHL while in New York. Now that he's in Phoenix he is AGAIN log-jammed behind Bryzgalov.
For such a high pick, my feeling is that he'll never get a legitimate shot of taking over the starting goalie spot, and may be nothing more than a backup. I hope for his sake I'm wrong.

He got platooned behind Tellqvist in Phoenix as well… he probably won't even start ahead of Esche at the World's either.
Pretty strange… his AHL numbers look pretty decent.
Blackburn left after 2003 before Montoya was drafted (2004).. Weekes and Valiquette were the back-up's for the last several years.

Tellqvist was traded to Buffalo this year… so it looks like Montoya will get a back-up role behind Bryzgalov this coming season.
April 16th, 2009
9:17 am
I remembered incorrectly, I thought Montoya was drafted after Blackburn's injury as the heir apparent. Regardless, he had no chance once Lundqvist started playing in New York. In my opinion Lundqvist is a top goalie in the league, and Montoya would have needed to be extra special to top him.
Bryzgalov is pretty good too, but maybe he'll have a chance to outshine him. I wont be surprised to see Montoya bounce around some more before finally finding his niche in the NHL.

As for the US goalies, Dipietro and Miller are the Olympic goalies that are recovering. Most others are currently in the playoffs. Personally I think Craig Anderson of the Panthers should be given a shot.

The Ottawa Sun had reported this early this month…
"It's been another lost season in Phoenix and don't be surprised if G Ilya Bryzgalov is shopped. Bryzgalov, who will earn $4.25 million (all terms US) next season, has fallen out of favour with the Coyotes. The Coyotes have recalled G Al Montoya and he who has posted a 2-0 record with 0.50 GAA. He will get a chance to push for the top job next season. The club has been making C Martin Hanzal a healthy scratch lately and he could also be a candidate to be moved … "

Yeah ALAN it's gonna be pretty funny… Who do you think we should draft at # 4 ??? I haven't done too much research yet, but this KANE dude sounds like he would be a good fit… But no matter what, I want OFFENSE… We don't need to take a D-Man with this pick…
April 16th, 2009
9:03 pm
If Duchene is available below #3, we should take him. Otherwise, I heavily favor Kane, but wouldn't mind seeing Paajarvi-Svensson drafted.
Duchene and Kane are centers, while Paajarvi-Svensson is a left wing.
April 17th, 2009
10:40 am
I think Duchene sounds like he's better suited for our Offense… fast, good hockey sense, good two-way player, quick hands and, according to E.J. McGuire… "a threat to score short-handed"… so he's right in line with guys like Stuart, Slater and Perrin as far as creating turnovers on the PK and taking it the length of the ice.
So, for all you Slater detractors… here's a guy, at least in the short term, that could send Slater packing.
… that said, I don't think you can go wrong with a guy like Kane either… as long as Waddell takes on of the two, it's win-win.
April 17th, 2009
10:51 am
Watching most of Kane's clips, you don't see him trying to do anything overly fancy… which is a good thing. There aren't any "Oh My Gosh, did you see that?" moments. He's a "stuff it home" kind of player… similar to Armstrong.
Kane has played with Spencer Machacek and Atlanta has already interviewed him in the past… so, 1 + 1… I think he's our guy.
Here's a very long read on him…
April 17th, 2009
10:56 am
Oh… one other thing… Evander Kane got his name from Evander Holyfield, who lives in Atlanta… for what it's worth.

Shane Malloy at TSN has been ranking prospects for all the teams for awhile and finally got around to the Thrashers. Interesting to see his perspective.
April 19th, 2009
8:42 am
Thrash needs a center now. Trade next to nothing to Philly for Briere. Philly will give him away because they have major cap issues. Briere and Kovy will scare the heck out of the rest of the division.
April 20th, 2009
11:53 am
God Kaz, I'd love to see Briere here, unfortunate but true, our owners will NOT take that salary.
Miller should be in the World Championships, he was fine for the Sabres and has had an additional week off.
April 20th, 2009
2:49 pm
Yeah right now I'm thinking KANE is our guy… Good fit it seems… Unless DONNIE tries to trade down… Hmm…
April 20th, 2009
2:52 pm
Miller missed 13 games with a sprained ankle and didn't return until late March…meanwhile Esche led his team to the KHL championship.
I'm guessing Miller wasn't interested in playing because rehab is more important to his career. I'd bet he only played at the end of the season due to the playoff race, and would've sat had they been out of the playoffs sooner.

From Bedrooms to Billions is a 120 minute feature length documentary movie telling the remarkable, true story of the British Video Games Industry from 1979 to the present.
From Bedrooms to Billions tells the story of how the creativity and vision of a relatively small number of individuals allowed the UK to play a key, pioneering role in the shaping of the billion dollar video games industry, which today dominates the modern world's entertainment landscape.
Developments in computer technology in the UK of the late 70's early 80's helped inspire a generation of small team enthusiasts, hobbyists, school kids, bedroom coders and entrepreneurs to make and release some truly classic games. From Bedrooms to Billions reveals some of the remarkable stories, struggles and successes that saw the UK video games industry go from quite literally nothing into a major force littered with original thinkers, innovators and eccentric characters.
Featuring interviews with key contributors to the UK story from across video game development, publishing and journalism from over the last 40 years, combined with compelling archive, 'From Bedrooms to Billions' is the first to attempt to bring this amazing story together. Starting in the late 70's, spanning 'Thatcher's Britain' of the 80's and culminating in the dramatic shift of fortunes for the UK Video Games Industry by the late 90's, the film celebrates the importance of this era and why it has become such a landmark period in the history of British invention, creativity and industry.
From Bedrooms to Billions initially began about 10 years ago as an idea for a 3 part TV series. It seemed like such a remarkable era in the UK's history that it needed documenting. The show was to be filled with captivating stories of creativity and inspiration told by some wonderful and eccentric characters balanced with the amazing games that were produced at the time.
However UK Broadcasters over the years never showed enough real interest to commission it, saying that video gaming far was too niche. There seemed a distinct lack of understanding, perception or even perhaps acceptance by the establishment of the UK when confronted with the subject of video games. It cannot be understated the pioneering impact the UK had on what is now the largest entertainment business on the planet, yet when many other documentaries on UK contributions to entertainment, art and industry on subjects such as music, film and literature are commissioned continuously by broadcasters, there's never a place for video games.
After a little bit of research it became apparent that many levels of UK establishment such as banking, broadcast and even teaching do not take video gaming seriously as an industry, in some cases even deemed responsible for the worlds' woes. All of this despite video games being a viable and creative industry capable of bringing in vast amounts of revenue into any country that encouraged it . Anthony and Nicola then discovered the Nesta Report by Ian Livingstone CBE which among many things highlighted the very serious problem with the way IT was being taught in UK schools, the seed of interest for computing is not being sown in youngsters as it did in the past, which has led to a significant drop in IT graduates. Research showed that most students in the UK didn't even know that the country once had a thriving, pioneering video games industry.
This new information brought the story very much into the present, providing an extra angle for the documentary. By highlighting where the UK Games Industry is today combined with what it once achieved during its golden era, may in some small way inspire a new wave of UK talent.
Anthony and Nicola decided that this 'TV series idea' needed to become a fully-fledged independent documentary movie, a British film with its own style, look, sound and character and 'From Bedrooms to Billions' was born. It was at this time that they became aware of crowdfunding and the decision was taken to see if the vast retro video game community would believe in the project enough to fund at least enough to get the principle photography completed. Anthony and Nicola launched the film campaign onto crowdfunding site Indiegogo in May 2012 seeking £20,000 in exchange for many perks graciously donated or signed by some of their interviewees. By the time the two month campaign was over not only had they successfully hit their target, but out of thousands of films, Indiegogo placed 'From Bedrooms to Billions' in their top 10 films of the year (link), the only non-US film to achieve this.
Anthony and Nicola had been filming almost continuously throughout 2012 and then into early 2013, however as is common with many films financed via crowdfunding, it was decided to raise some additional money to enhance the film, by being able to secure archive footage, stills and music. Anthony and Nicola then launched a second campaign, this time on Kickstarter. Without these crucial elements the film would simply be two hours of talking heads and not the true and lasting documentary, movie experience with wonderful new interviews combined with the classic UK archive and music that the subject matter deserves.
They wanted to raise £18,000 over 60 days but were stunned as they smashed through the goal in less than 5 days with the film going onto raise over £60,000! This extra finance has allowed them to extend the original running time of 90 minutes to 2 hours and also work with video game music legends Rob Hubbard and Ben Daglish on the creation of an all new official soundtrack of the film.
Since the Kickstarter they have carried out a further 60 interviews, have researched and sourced screeners for hundreds of hours of archive footage from across the 1970's 80's, 90's and beyond and are now very close to completing what many feel is the most comphrensive account of Britain's unique and sometimes forgotten role in the creatino of the video games Industry.
The film and soundtrack are both available for pre-order now here with unique 'pre-order' only incentives available to only those that do. Pre-order customer also gain access to the 'Backer Zone' of this website, a place where extended previews of the film and soundtrack are available.
'From Bedrooms to Billions' is due for release 25th September 2014

Family of electrocuted boy 'overwhelmed' by community support
A few years ago, Children's Pastor Tim Thompson baptized two boys who would grow to be great friends.
On Sunday, he'll see Noah Winstead and Nate Lynam laid to rest at the families' church in Morristown.
A joint funeral service through Mayes Family Services will be held at 6 p.m. Sunday at First Baptist Church in Morristown for the two young boys who died in an electrocution incident on the Fourth of July at the German Creek Marina dock.
The families of the boys will receive friends from 2-6 p.m. on Sunday before the service. Graveside services for both boys will be Monday at 10 a.m. in Jarnagin Cemetery in Morristown.
Noah, 10, and Nate, 11, were swimming near a houseboat when they were electrocuted. Authorities are investigating whether possible electrical problems in the boat could have caused the electrocutions.
Noah died at the scene. Nate was resuscitated and transported to East Tennessee Children's Hospital, but died the next day when his family opted to take him off life support, according to a media release from Grainger County Sheriff Scott Layel.
"I am beside myself with sadness," Layel said in the release. "My prayers go out to the families."
Layel said he sent a deputy to Children's Hospital on Wednesday night to show the families that the sheriff's department supported them through "this tragic situation."
The Lynam family released a statement that read:
"The family of Nate Lynam is overwhelmed by the outpouring of love, prayers, and support from family, friends, and the community.
"It is the family's wish that the tragedy that claimed his life not be what defines it. Nate was a loving son, a loyal brother, and a kind and respectful young man.
"If there is anything newsworthy in this tragedy it is this: Nate and his friend, Noah, loved Jesus and trusted in Him. The family finds great comfort in knowing that they will be reunited one day in Heaven."
The boys' families are members of First Baptist Church in Morristown. Pastor Thompson said he is helping the families get things organized during their time of grief.
"There were a lot of times we would just laugh and cut up," Thompson said. "They were very dear to my heart."

Just another thought, you said that you were expecting to delete 3K rows from a table that has 6.8M rows and you said was taking 15 hours, as pointed out the column is indexed.
When was the last time that the statistics were updated?
Are there any delete triggers on the table that might be causing issues?

Well, you've got an index on that field, so it should be quick.
1) Make sure all indexes (or at the very least this one and the clsutered index) have been recently rebuilt.
2) Other than that it will be the Constraints - which all have to be checked. Rebuild the indexes that the Constraints are relying on if that has not been done recently.

Time with God - Aug. 5, 2010
Thursday 5th August
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
The way forward through the next choice in life should always be guided by a complete reliance on God ["trust in the Lord with all your heart"] and a desire to exalt and honor Him ["in all your ways acknowledge Him"]!
What would happen if you changed your basis for decision-making? Are you facing conflict in your marriage and wondering what to do that will protect your rights? What if you made your decision based on the answer to the question, "What would honor God the most?" And how would your response to the situation be different if you were completely relying on God and not on yourself?
What if you applied these same criteria to your business decisions? What if you decided what to do with your whole life on this basis? What would change?
Then do it.
When you make those things the criteria for your life-decisions, what is God's promise? "He will make your paths straight." That is, the way forward will be obvious. Not necessarily easy! But God will be directing your life. And you can trust Him in the driver's seat.
What are you facing today that you need to re-examine on the basis of these two criteria: trusting and honoring God?

People on here are having shrinking problems. Solution, wash it on gentle and use WARM water, then let it air dry. COLD water will make it SHRINK, that goes for any Kimono. Good luck newbies. My experience has been excellent. The Lapel may be thinner, but that means you need to work on your defense and NOT get choked out. Don't blame the Kimono for your poor performance.

Ha ha I see people at my gym spending up to 200.00 for the signature gb gi which has a smaller back patch. These gi s are trash. It s better off to spend your money on something like a fuji or an HCK or a gameness. Really any gi is better than a gb gi. The lapels are super baby tiny and very easy to manipulate for gi chokes.

Why Managers Won't Let Go
STANFORD GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS—There is mounting evidence that giving people more responsibility for making decisions in their jobs generates greater productivity, morale, and commitment. Yet, in spite of the substantial economic returns to decentralization and delegation, many American managers resist such practices in favor of traditional command-and-control approaches to managing people.
The Business School's Jeffrey Pfeffer believes this problem stems in part from a contemporary obsession with leadership. "There is a cultural, socially learned belief in leadership," says Pfeffer, the Thomas D. Dee Professor of Organizational Behavior. "At Stanford, for instance, we have a speakers series called the View from the Top, not the View from the Middle or the View from the Bottom."
Many studies have examined how decentralization and trust affect the people who are subject to these management approaches, but Pfeffer has recently examined the effect of control, or its absence, on their bosses. With Arizona State University social psychologist Robert Cialdini and GSB doctoral candidates Kathleen Knopoff and Benjamin Hanna, Pfeffer looked for some of the social psychological reasons why employee empowerment techniques aren't more widely or easily used.
The researchers conducted an experiment in which 282 MBA students were recruited to play the roles of managers or subordinates who were designing a new wristwatch advertisement. In actuality, all subjects played a managing role. The data showed that the more involvement and control a manager felt he or she had over the task, the more favorably the manager judged the final ad and the more favorably the person evaluated his or her own managerial ability and the subordinate. "It's a common cognitive bias motivated by the desire for self-enhancement," explains Pfeffer. "If you've been actively involved in producing something, it's going to look better to you. Conversely, something in which you have been less involved looks worse."
Pfeffer and his colleagues also found what they termed a "faith in supervision effect." Even observers not involved in the experiment thought the final ad was better to the extent they believed it had been produced with more supervisory control and involvement. Ironically, says Pfeffer, this faith in supervision is often misplaced, because creative and intellectual activity can be undermined by close supervision.
How can this overvaluation of work produced under more supervision be overcome? The researchers found that simply using the language of teams--phrases such as team leader and team member rather than supervisor and subordinate--ameliorated the tendency to overvalue the advertisement.
Because of the tendency to inflate the worth of work produced with one's direct involvement, it may be necessary to "force" delegation. "You put managers in a situation where they have to delegate," says Pfeffer. "Give them a large number of direct reports and thereby force decentralization."
Effective organizations put people in groups that manage themselves while leaders develop and nourish the corporate culture and promote an atmosphere that values learning, innovation, and accomplishment. Instead of telling people what to do and breathing down their necks to make sure they do it, good mana-gers train and support their people and give them the resources to make their own decisions.

My buddy asked me to mention his YouTube channel, so here it is. He talks a lot about classic games, and some newer stuff too. Seriously, go check him out. He's a super nice guy. He even did a thing reminiscing about Streets of Rage 2, which is a-okay in my books. =)
Shantae was a pretty snazzy platformer for the Game Boy Color that didn't get a lot of attention. It does have some super ravenous fans, though, and with good reason: it's a well done game. Physical copies cost a small fortune, but thankfully they're slowly making their way to the virtual console now.
Super Mario World and Altered Beast may have gotten the lion's share of attention for pack-in games of the 16-bit era, but I still liked Keith Courage in Alpha Zones on the TurboGrafx-16. It's bright colors, cheerful disposition, and mechs made for a pretty good time.
I've always been fond of the visual style in Astal, a platformer for the Sega Saturn. The level of detail and artistic direction was great, and the excellent use of color made it all the better. It also helps that the game was quite fun. ^_^
E.V.O. - Search for Eden was a dinosaur-centric RPG for the SNES. For featuring such ferocious beasts, the game's art is pretty darn adorable at times. Sadly the game costs an arm and a leg nowadays. >_<
When the Dreamcast came out, one of the games that I frequently saw for it was Blue Stinger. It had a strong Resident Evil vibe going for it, and made for an alright stop gap on the system until the RE series actually did start making its way over there.
While the original Streets of Rage was great, it's sequel cemented my love of the series. It was such a refinement over its predecessor. More characters, improved graphics, and a fantastic soundtrack, with just as much action as the first game. Streets of Rage 2 was amazing.
The Magic of Scheherazade was an interesting action RPG on the NES. It resembled The Legend of Zelda in a lot of ways, then threw in a battle system like that found in Dragon Quest. Players could change their character's class, and the Middle Eastern setting made for a nice change of pace.
There have been no lack of gimmicky fighting games to come along over the years, but one that I actually like is Bloody Roar. Fight as a human or as a beast. Good times. It's also a non shoot 'em up from Raizing / Eighting, which is kinda neat.

Biggest Loser Champ Danni Allen Won More Than Weight Loss
Written on October 7, 2013 at 9:46 am , by FITNESS Intern
Written by editorial intern Gabriella Rello
Danni Allen proves it's not so bad to be a loser. The season 14 winner of NBC's The Biggest Loser shed an incredible 121 pounds during her 12-week stay on the show and gained something much greater in the process: a bright future. "It was about winning a life that I never knew I could possibly have," Allen says. A new life that includes half-marathons, triathlons and daily 10Ks. What's next for the Loser-alum? Running her first 26.2 before her 26th birthday! We caught up with the speedy long-distance runner and chatted training. Here's what she had to say:
What was your biggest motivation to lose weight?
The biggest thing for me was when my dad got sick in February of last year. He was actually rushed to the hospital and I get the call that no daughter wants to hear that says, "Bring the whole family in." In my head, I was like, "If I keep following in his footsteps, that is going to be me at 50." A miracle happened and he's okay, but that was my "Aha" moment that I needed to change.
You're running in the Chicago Marathon on October 13–was this always a long-term goal of yours?
Goodness, no! Before The Biggest Loser I thought running was stupid. I was like, "Who would do this? My knees hurt, my legs hurt; I can't breathe!" When I got on the show, I knew I needed a goal beyond the finale. I told myself, "If you find something you love, then continue with it." Running was one of the first things I found I loved, so I really wanted to follow through. In past seasons they've always run marathons. Our season didn't get to because we were so short. I felt short-changed! I'm running with St. Jude now. It was really fun to start doing that.
How are you training for the race?
I've had to be pretty strict with it. It's all about getting your miles in. If you talk to anyone who's training for a marathon, they have one long run a week. My trainer wanted me to learn how to run on dead legs, so whatever my long run is, I'm running half of it the day before. On Sunday I ran 20 miles, so on Saturday I ran 10. I have an awesome running partner, too, and we turn our long runs into our gossip time. We won't talk all week and then we'll get it all out on the road. She's turning 40 next year and her goal was to run a marathon before her birthday. Mine was to run my 26 at 26.
How do you get yourself excited for races?
I have two pump up songs: "Girl on Fire" by Alicia Keys and "My Songs Knows What You Did In The Dark" by Fall Out Boy. I just get into it and my head starts banging.

Fit Blogger We Love: One Twenty Five
Written on July 19, 2012 at 3:54 pm , by Samantha Shelton
If you're looking for someone who lays everything out on the line, regardless of what other people are going to think of her, then you need to immediately click over to One Twenty Five. Liz, the writer behind this weight-loss blog, shares her uncensored thoughts, which is exactly what we love about her. Now if we could just pack up and visit her in Melbourne, life would be pretty swell, don't you think?
On my fit life list: Drum roll please…an Ironman. I know it sounds ridiculous to say as, um, I've never biked more than a 5K or swam more than one kilometer. But (and this is a big but), I once dreamed of doing a full marathon when I was over 200 pounds and the mere thought of a 5K made my heart skip a beat. And guess what? I ran that full marathon. So I know it's possible to dream big and accomplish something once deemed impossible.
I'm happiest when I'm: doing CrossFit or running. Wait, what? Did you really believe me? Let's clarify that: I'm happiest when I just finished a CrossFit session or a run. The moment I stop my watch after a run I didn't want to do, or the moment I fall to the ground to get my breath back after a CrossFit WOD (workout of the day), is always my favorite. They're my happy, self high-five moments. It's always a battle to get out there, but always so worth it when I'm done.
Most embarrassing song I'll admit I work out to is: Are you ready for this? I don't actually listen to music when I run. Nope, I listen to super-duper-steamy-trashy romance novels. I found out when I get into peak training for a marathon, I can't download music quick enough, so instead I listen to, "she felt his burning eyes…" They're entertaining, cheap on iTunes and so silly that it's easy to distract myself from the pain of a long run.
My "I Did It" moment: Since I decided not to be a couch potato and actually knock off some of my "bucket list" tasks, I have to admit I've managed to accomplish some pretty awesome things. Three full marathons, a month-long hike to Mt. Everest's Base Camp, and a move to Melbourne, Australia, to name a few. But my favorite "I Did It moment" was, without a doubt, when I was running the last 50 meters of the Chicago Marathon. Going from obese to running a full marathon within a year is very emotional, and seeing that finish line was just incredibly overwhelming.
My motivation comes from: Knowing I am capable of more than I've done. Which yeah, I know sounds really corny, but I've decided I am no better or worse than anyone in this world, so why can't I do all the awesome things out there? Exactly – I can.

Today is my 3rd day working on my feet basically all day. I haven't taken any sitting breaks today other than my lunch, because I honestly don't feel that I need them.
