Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school is pretty cool. Most of the teachers are great but there is a few I wouldn't want near certain people. I cried one morning afraid that something may happen. I'm not the only one who feels that way. Some other people also think that. It is terrible. I just wish I could feel more safe and secure at school. I am one of the top students in my class, so I have a good amount of friends. There is one student who sometimes gets on my nerves. They think they are just God's gift to mankind. They tell someone to do something the 'right way.' I would love to have a school that wasn't so caught up in cliques and sports. This school is a good choice to an extent.
I think that it is a good school for the most part, but some teachers should be watched.....
Corbin High School has the best teachers!
I attended Corbin High School and received a wonderful education and felt prepared for college, with the exception of the Math department. I felt that the Math department didn't prepare me for the college entry level. I am a good math student but just wasn't taught the proper material my junior-senior years. I even took a higher level math at Corbin but still wasn't prepared. CHS prides itself in its sports, which they do very well (as they should considering the large staff they hire JUST for sports activities) but the kids aren't interested in arts, writing, music and such. I also thought that Corbin is the town where their parents live their lives through their children, that to me is very sad. CHS has without a doubt the best sports programs in the area, but when compared ot the state as a whole, its really not that great.
Both of my children attended Corbin, and graduated with honors. They had no probelms getting in to their respective colleges, and have excelled there as well. Both were active athletically and academically. Corbin has a highly sports motivated program, yet they do not lose sight of why they are there, to learn. They are ranked 3rd overall in the state at this time academically, and have maintained a top 20 status since these rankings began.
Great education, great social environment, great sports. Corbin truly is a great school. There is a family feel to every Redhound in the school. When I say Redhound, it's not just the athletes. It's every student.
I graduated from Corbin High just three years ago. I strongly feel that Corbin is the best school in the area. I now attend a University and due to my eduactiona at Corbin, I have been able to attain very high goals in college. Corbin taught wiht a high level of academics. Moreover, while sprots are important at Corbin and help teach leadership skills, there is aslo a GPA level that must be met in order to play. I will soon be teaching at Corbin myself, and I will also send my own children to Corbin as well.
I attended Corbin High for two terriable years before leaving and going to another high school. The education here isn't all that great no matter how much they sugar coat it.Spots comes first even before education and everyone knows that!
I have been a student in the corbin city schools, and I'm now a parent. I can't help but notice that there is such a strong push for children to be athletic, but a lack of effort in pushing them to do better in school. The coaches are so worried about tradition, that they forget why kids are sent to school to begin with. Also, even the teachers seem to make differences between the kids based on who their parents are, and how much money they make. Its bad enough that children have to face those problems from their classmates, let alone their teacher. Don't get me wrong, i do want my child to be involved in sports, but school comes first. I feel that corbin city schools should start gearing themselves towards education first.
One of the better schools in the area but several teachers lack interest in teaching the students and leave it to the students to teach themselves. Sports outshine academics.

Introduced in 2006, the CJ4 (also the Model 525C) brings a different wing design than the previous models and takes benefits of the moderately swept wing from the Citation Sovereign.
The operators and pilots feedback about the fusion between the design and refinements is an excellent one.
The Cessna Citation CJ4 is a part of the Citation business jet family and also is a stretch extension of the CJ3, adding an additional two feet to the CJ3 cabin.
The Cessna Citation CJ3 (Model 525B) is an aircraft that makes part of the Citation business jet family.
The CJ3 is a stretch extension of the CJ2 aircraft, which itself was a stretch of theCJ1.
The aircraft was exposed in September 2002 at the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) convention and took its first flight on the same day on April 17, 2003. CJ3 was FAA certified in October 2004 and the distribution of this aircraft started on December 2004.
The Cessna Citation CJ2+ is the sensible, single-pilot-certified business jet for you and also for your business.
This aircraft offers many practical benefits like seven seats, the maximum takeoff load has been increased, climbs more quickly, cruises faster and ranges farther than its predecessor.
Having a better performance Cessna Citation CJ2+ (Model 525A) uses less fuel and delivers for passengers and pilot the best comfort, more advanced avionics and FADEC controls.
Cessna Citation Jet 1+ is a turbofan-powered light corporate jet built by Cessna and developed as an improved version of the Citation CJ1. It is distinguished especially because of the two Williams International FJ-44-1AP engines.
The CJ1+ was first communicated at the NBAA annual convention in 2004 and gains its type certificate less than a year later.
The basis for this aircraft was the Model 525.
Cessna Citation Mustang is the smallest and least-expensive aircraft, belonging to the Citation family.
This business jet aircraft has four passenger seats in the aft cabin and seating for two in the cockpit. Like the other very light jets (VLJ) models, the Mustang is approved for single-pilot operation.

Fascial Release
A variety of things can cause tension in the fascia. Poor posture is a classic example, but the fascia can also be stressed through injury, over-exercise, and poor diet. In fascial release, the therapist feels for areas where the fascia is obviously tense, looking primarily for areas of heat and hardness. When an area of tension is identified, the therapist can use several different techniques to release it, encouraging the fascia to relax. This will resolve the hardness, so when the therapist palpates the area again, it will feel much softer.
When therapists use direct fascial release, they follow the tension in the fascia to its source, and then they apply gentle pressure to the site to encourage the fascia to release. Generally, after the area is held for one to two minutes, the tension releases, allowing the fascia to go slack. Therapists can also address strain indirectly, with gentle stretches of the body around the problem area.
Fascial release can be intense. Although a good therapist will move slowly and carefully, working within the client's limits, when an area of strain releases its tension, it can be momentarily painful. Sometimes, fascial release also hurts when the therapist puts pressure on the rigid area.
Clients may want to start out slowly, requesting indirect fascial release to get used to the experience. The massage therapist will still palpate the body to look for target areas, but the technique used to release the strain will be less invasive. Clients should also be careful to communicate well with their massage therapists; if something hurts, they should speak up, because intense pain can be very counterproductive.

Having at least one soft pink nail polish in my nail polish stash is a real must-have for me. I currently have about four in my collection and today I am letting two of them battle against each other: L.A. Colors' French Nail Pink versus O.P.I.'s Mimosas for Mr. and Mrs. At first sight they look very alike, but at just 1,49 euros the L.A. Colors nail lacquer is totally budget-friendly while O.P.I's is almost ten times as expensive at 13,95 euros. Will the price of these nail lacquers determine their performance and therefore the outcome of this battle? Let the battle begin!
The color of both nail lacquers is a pretty soft pink and looks very similar both in the bottle as well as on the nails. French Nail Pink is a tad more pink than Mimosas for Mr. and Mrs., though, which has a little more white in it. I personally have a slight preference for the pinkest shade of the two, just because I think it looks prettier and more flattering on the nails. So the first point goes to L.A. Colors!
Bottle & brush
The glass bottles look a bit different from one another, but both contain 15 milliliters of nail polish. O.P.I has a longer brush, though, and the bristles are more supple and spread out more. Because of that I find the O.P.I nail lacquer a bit easier to use. That's one point for O.P.I.
Texture & coverage
The texture of each of these nail lacquers is definitely different. French Nail Pink's texture is thicker which makes it a bit tricky to apply. O.P.I's texture on the other hand is a lot runnier and therefore easier to use. Then again, O.P.I's runny texture also causes it to provide less coverage than French Nail Pink. You need at least two and maybe even three layers of Mimosas for Mr. and Mrs. before you get any decent coverage, while just one coat of French Nail Pink already looks pretty good. So in this round O.P.I gets a point for texture and L.A. Colors gets one for coverage.
Application & finish
Against my expectations I like the finish of the L.A. Colors nail lacquer a lot more than that of the O.P.I nail lacquer. Light shades and pastels are often hard to apply evenly and without streaking, and that is also the case with both these nail lacquers. But with a bit of patience it's definitely doable to make French Nail Pink look nice and even. Unfortunately the same can't be said about Mimosas for Mr. and Mrs. I really tried my best, but I still ended up with streaking and unevenness. So L.A. Colors definitely wins this round.
At the moment L.A. Colors is one point ahead, but O.P.I. catches up in this last round by scoring high marks for longevity. French Nail Pink lasts a few days without chipping, but it definitely doesn't like doing dishes or taking hot showers: when confronted with water and heat, it starts to flake. Mimosas for Mr. and Mrs. on the other hands stays put for days and doesn't seem to really mind the many nail-unfriendly things I do every day. So O.P.I scores a point for longevity.
The winner?
With a 3 to 3 tie it is clear that these nail lacquers are worthy opponents. Both have their strong and weak points: L.A. Colors' French Nail Pink looks prettier color-wise, has much better coverage and provides a cleaner and more even finish. But O.P.I.'s Mimosas for Mr. and Mrs. is easier to use and lasts a lot longer. If I would have to choose between both, I think I'd go for L.A. Colors. It is super cheap and I like the color better, and because of that I don't really mind that it doesn't last as long.
Which of these two nail lacquers would you choose? Do you own any soft pink nail polish?

She twists and turns and twirls and whirls
The pleasures of the world perhaps
But no, they only come and go
Within are sorrows yet to come
She dances only for her God
Tempted not by storms of desire
She's a virgin dedicated
To her God, no sin can stain her
Water taints not the lotus leaf.
Now on her death Her perfect soul
Speeds to heaven, into the light
To the shelter where no wind blows
Unlike those full of sin and pride
Far from Earth and far from Heaven
But wander in the pathless wind

Sandra & Justin's Kitchen:
Everything Must Go
Renovation Diary
Emptying the last dishes from the dishwasher before we remove it and the accompanying sink.Sandra & Justin
Type of Project: Kitchen remodel
Location: Arlington, Texas
Type of building: Single-family home, 2,450 square feet
The Renovation Diaries are a new collaboration with our community in which we feature your step by step renovation progress and provide monetary support towards getting it done in style. See all of our Reno Diaries here.
This week was all about demolition. In addition to continuing work on the kitchen, our car got crunched while we were at the cabinetry shop signing off on the final designs. Lovely. Things went better in the kitchen, where the damage was planned and welcome.
Backside of the dishwasher and sink, about to come out.
We are doing most of the demolition ourselves. Doing the demolition is hard work, but gratifying, since we are ripping out, dismantling and destroying everything we've hated in the kitchen. It isn't doesn't require too much precision and skill — which is what we'll need later as we move on to harder projects. We finished removing soffits and the room get much, much brighter — a promise of good things ahead, but it also revealed a water leak from the upstairs bathroom we will have to address. Oh joy.
Pulling the soffit down.
We moved ourselves completely out of the kitchen said sayonara to the stove and sink. It feels like it might be a really, really long time until I get their replacements, but it will all be worth it in two months, I hope. We also cut the cabinetry off from around the oven (we are waiting for the plumber to come and remove it safely, but still want all the cabinetry out).
Cutting out the cabinet to free the oven, to wait for the plumber to remove it.Other activities this week included shopping for flooring. Justin and I are fond of cork and bamboo. They're attractive and sustainable, but it is hard to find a lot of affordable options close to home. And flooring is just one of those things I want to see in person before I commit to a whole room's worth.

It's better to find a leak now. Think how sad it'd be to have your re-done kitchen torn up to fix the leak when it ruins the ceiling.
Install "engineered bamboo" in a kitchen. It's stronger than the bamboo made of years ago. We had bamboo installed in our downstairs living room, dining & kitchen in 2005. All the scratches & dents show. Just had "engineered bamboo" installed in bedrooms upstairs & we can tell it's much sturdier.

March 2000 | Issue # 63
As the average age of the U.S. population continues to increase, the development and implementation of effective ways to provide for long-term care needs and expenses will become an increasingly important factor in the financial security of retirees and their families. This issue of Research Dialogue presents a detailed review and analysis of issues related to the financing of long-term care expenses. The article includes a description of data and trends relevant to long-term care needs and costs, a review of survey results regarding the plans and attitudes of TIAA-CREF participants regarding long-term care, a description of currently available long-term care insurance products, and, finally, a discussion of some new ideas relating to how long-term care expenses could be financed in the future.
The article was prepared for Research Dialogue by Mark J. Warshawsky, Ph.D., director of research, TIAA-CREF Institute; Lee Granza, product manager for long-term care insurance, TIAA-CREF; and Anna Madamba, Ph.D., senior research analyst, TIAA-CREF. The fourth section of this issue is a slightly modified version of a section that appeared in an earlier article by the same authors (Granza, Madamba, and Warshawsky, "Financing Long-term Care: Employee Needs and Attitudes, and the Employer's Role," Benefits Quarterly, Fourth Quarter 1998, pp. 60–72). We use parts of that earlier article with the permission of the publisher.
For related reading, go to Long-term Care Knowledge and Awareness Survey Report Findings, a 1998 survey that examined TIAA-CREF participants' familiarity with and attitudes toward long-term care assistance.

You may recall that the suburbs had previously secured legislation they believed would allow them to circumvent the city-county merger, namely by creating independent school districts throughout the Memphis suburbs, but that Shelby County officials persuaded a federal judge that the legislation violated the Tennessee Constitution because it applied to only one county. That earlier legislation was struck down in November.
However, in a meeting held yesterday in Nashville and closed to media, officials from Arlington, Bartlett, Collierville, Germantown, Lakeland and Millington met with state lawmakers to craft a second bill for the same purpose.
Bartlett's mayor said the suburbs' options included loosening charter school restrictions, but per Humphrey...
State Rep. Curry Todd, R-Collierville, said after the meeting that new legislation could include altering the measure that was ruled unconstitutional by opening the door to creation of new municipal districts across Tennessee.
...in which case charter schools would not be needed to segregate any city's urban students from its suburban ones.
Who, oh who, will launch ouster proceedings against Todd?
(Previously: Rep. Curry "Guns in Bars" Todd now ripe for ouster?)

Celebrating the 4th of July may be a little difficult this year for residents of Dawson County.
Last month, county commissioners there decided to ban certain types of fireworks. The ban is similar to the one in effect in Lubbock County...meaning no skyrockets with sticks, or missiles with fins.
While this may good for fire prevention, it's not so good for business at fireworks stands. That's one reason why Mr. W's fireworks filed suit against Dawson County. A hearing is set for July 7th.
In the meantime, county commissioners are taking another step to prevent fires. Monday they decided to close a portion of Weaver Road, located in northwest Lamesa.

TEAMS: Washington Redskins, New York Giants, New Orleans Saints
New Orleans Saints (5-7) at New York Giants (7-5) Earlier this week, I outlined why the Redskins should be considered the favorites to win the NFC East. The Redskins, presumably, have the tiebreaker, by virtue of their better divisional record. They are a game back right now, but they are almost definitely going favored in each of their last four games, while the Giants will be favored in just two of their final 4. If the Redskins can win just 3 of 4 (games against Cleveland, Philadelphia, and Dallas look very winnable), that will force the Giants to have to win at least 3 of 4 as well and with games against New Orleans, Baltimore, and Atlanta in 3 of their final 4, that's going to be very tough. I'm hardly counting them out, but the Redskins should be considered the favorites. That's pretty crazy considering the Redskins would have basically been eliminated had they lost last week to the Giants. They would have been 3 games up, holding the tiebreaker (by virtue of sweeping the seas...

Cafe Scientifique: The Cannabis Controversy 1/9
Tuesday, January 9, 2007, 6 p.m.
Varsity Theatre, Dinkytown
$5 suggested donation
One of the earliest known cultivated plants, Cannabis sativa has long been used for disparate purposes. In the form of hemp, Cannabis produces nutritious seeds and strong, resilient fibers that are used to make rope and clothing. In the form of marijuana, Cannabis is the most abundant illegal drug in the United States. Minnesota farmers once supplied the hemp industry but today all hemp fiber is imported from abroad because state and federal law bans all Cannabis plants. Interest in hemp as a renewable resource and in medical marijuana has fueled a Cannabis controversy with political implications. Several states recently passed laws in direct conflict with federal regulations. Can the controversy be resolved? What can science contribute? Bell Museum curator of plants George Weiblen discusses the science and politics of this most controversial plant.

Ability to report spam profiles, and other bad profiles
Added on May 8 13:05
:0 Just because the caretakers do a wonderful job cleaning up, doesn't mean people aren't littering!
Or having fake profiles deleted...especially fat loaded with self esteem issues lassies seducing young men...like 13!
just spammed me... was looking for a place to report the profile or something and found this. It'll do for cataloging it for now.
We should be able to report spam. The problem is the "bad profiles" would be something abused cause most people on the internet don't know how to use the block button, they rather ban good people that contribute to a site just cause they don't like them.

BDGallof | Jun 28, 2010 | Comments 6
We should remark right here and now, that there can be no gauging on the NHL drafts winners and losers for a good 3 to 5 years. Maybe even 6 years down the line, ultimately.
However, we can comment on VALUE. Value in many cases was blown up this draft as many teams started drafting based on position instead of projection on "best available". This is a cardinal no-no, and my guess is many a team will have been burned as we look back on this draft as many teams scrapped their best-laid plans for what turned into a bit of a free-for-all.
So here are the winners and losers based on draft value.
Tallon just refreshed the entire organization prospect pool. Florida's additions make sure that they will have a bright future.
Fowler and Etem? Wow. Not bad for a team that was stuck at #12, and then watched in a stupor as the NY Rangers took McIlrath, who some teams consider only a pugilistic/intimidating 3rd or 4th dman. Etem was highly rated by many, yet dropped. Ducks lucked out in two instances of draft value, getting two top end 1st round picks.
Poised to move past Kovalchuk and never look back as they get his potential replacement in Burmistrov.
Was not suckered by a Phoenix call asking to trade their pick, knowing full well that Phoenix would take their man. They stick and grab Jack Campbell.
GM-under-fire Howson ignores those who think he should trading picks and instead assures the Blue Jacket a future prospect pool. Some draft guides and pundits projected Ryan Johansen ahead of El Nino.
They get the big man Derek Forbort and then in the 2nd round, get what many felt was a 1st rounder in Tyler Toffoli. One should not make a splash or blow their load just because they are hosting. LA carefully moved in on what their scouts and staff wanted, not to appease crowds or blogosphere.
Ignored the silly projections by many assuming their would draft for position, which they haven't done since Milbury stepped-down. Isles had two dynamic dmen already in their prospect pool. They add 3…yes….3 dynamic forwards to that pool with El Nino, Brock Nelson, and their ballsiest play of all….Kabanov at round 3 which is a low risk that deep with what could be a very high reward. Other teams had Brock Nelson pegged at top of 2nd round, so Isles stepping into end of 1st to grab him was a countermeasure. The unflappable and cerebral Garth Snow, Janks and their system have not only replenished the farm, but added a high level of potential talent to it to breed healthy competition.
LOSING MOVE: Islanders invited a HBO show co-star to actually sit at the draft table and even announce the Brock Nelson pick. Still a draft winner, but didn't quite lose the organizational moniker of: circus.
Having been spurned by Dallas in trying to get Campbell as goalie, they instead collect a great consolation prize in Gormley. Their later round pick of Mark Visentin, goalie seemed way too soon to many. This was shown true when Colorado took 2nd highest rated goalie, Calvin Pickard all the way at 49. Phoenix had two picks right after where they still could have picked him up.
Dylan McIlrath might have fists of fury, but most teams projected him a 3rd or 4th dman. You don't take that in the top 10 of a first round, which can produce a top 6 forward or top 2 dman Fans are irate that they passed over Cam Fowler. Some others think they also ignoring Jack Campbell when their system is depleted of goalies is also unconscionable. What makes it worse? Washing of their hands of their previous draft failure of Bobby Sanguinetti. Since Don Maloney left the organization, the Rangers have had a serious draft and prospect problem and it continues. When does their draft guru Gordie Clark start paying that price? Or their GM, Sather? Until they do, it might be not only tough during the season, but their future prospect pool is really starting to look far less healthy than it once did.
Trade for Ballard? Meh. Not pick until 4th round. Duh.
Calgary is starting to sink with Sutter at the tiller. Their future prospects, with no top 1 or 2 round pick, is starting to dwindle. Still have a few that can push to NHL, but beyond Backlund…serious dropoff. They needed to replenish and didn't.
Holmgren was on the firing line last season had the Flyers missed the playoffs. Their run keeps him on, but with no picks till round 3 and then basically giving away former 1st rounder Ryan Parent for a 3rd rounder by failing to sign Hamhuis was a risk they could not afford and should have done their homework that he didn't want to be the 6th dman on the depth chart. Big mistake. Flyers have had a terrific prospect pool but post-Pronger trade, they put all their eggs in the playoff basket. Will they pay a serious price down the line?
Everyone of them looked rather silly. Mock drafts blew into smithereens after pick #4. Guides…ISS Hockey has a credibility problem now that Mike Oke moved on and some very disturbing ownership issue where his kid pops up over 100 spots. Without Oke, ISS loses a lot of weight. But their mock caught a few surprises, actually, including the Isles pick of Nino. THN's openly dismissed by many team staffs. Red Line: "The guy is a #$*!@!, but they really know what they are doing".
Nobody wants to admit that this draft was very weak. Once the top 2 went it wasn't about defense, it was about dynamic forwards only because they assumed that someone was going to take dmen thanks to the draft gurus and pundits declaring it. Nobody wanted to pay anything to move up at top of first, rendering all that early trade rumor and innuendo moot. Why? Wasn't worth it. So teams just took their later pick early. NY Rangers, Islanders, Columbus and others wanted to move back and could not really make a deal happen. Once that happened, the rest of draft blew up as picks went early, and then many did not rate the dmen as high as everyone else did in their armchairs.
Several guides and draft gurus actually had Hishon as a 1st round pick, boys. Maybe time to start reading something other than THN or the TSN website. Highly touted guy who had a tough year, but still considered a kid with a lot of potential. Avs did their homework.

I agree on Anaheim. I thought the Blues did well with Schwartz and Tarasenko. Grabbed some highend skill up front. Something they don't have in the system right now with the loss of Eller. Moving an under sized and years away "maybe" in Warsofsky for a NHL player in Sobotka is under valued.

This was my first visit to the Maury Place at Monument and it lived up to its promises. The room was very spacious and clean. Jeff, the Inn Keeper, was awesome and provided top notch service. The backyard and pool were very relaxing placed to stay, as well as the front porch. Would definitely stay at this place again! Thanks Jeff!

Historic charm, modern amenities, attentive service, and the most comfortable bed linens I have ever slept in are a few of the highlights of my weekend stay at this B&B.

Simply ... the BEST! Why? We've been to Maury Place often, have stayed in every room, and it tops the three dozen other B & B's we've visited both here and abroad over the past 30 years. We have managed vacation homes for a decade, so we know there is nothing simple about achieving ... AND maintaining ... this level of excellence. Maury Place is only 45 minutes from our home, but we invent reasons to be in Richmond so we can experience the hospitality and quality Jeff and Mac provide! Bruce & Nancy H

Our stay at Maury Place at Monument was phenomenal! We were celebrating an early Valentine's Day as my partner is going on deployment soon and the owner, Jeff, was extremely friendly and accommodating! He even gave us a military discount, which was totally unexpected. In addition to a fabulous host, Maury Place at Monument offers all of the charm of the old beautiful row houses in Richmond, VA, but with updated amenities that are very appreciated. We stayed in the Pathfinder Suite and it was absolutely perfect. It snowed during our stay and we were able to enjoy the beautiful views of the city in the snow while warm in front of the fire place. The bathroom was also updated beautifully with a fantastic soaking tub and a great walk in shower. The bed was also super comfortable!! Due to the snow, our dinner plans were canceled and Jeff provided us with some fantastic choices of restaurants that were closer to Maury Place. He also made sure that we were okay with what time breakfast was served, as well as the menu (just a side note, breakfast was delicious!) I cannot say enough wonderful things about Maury Place! We will definitely be returning!!

A beautiful home and beautifully decorated for Christmas. My husband and I spent Christmas 2013 at Maury Place. We couldn't have enjoyed the experience more and plan to return some time in 2014. Jeff prepared delicious breakfasts for us during our stay. The night before we always went to the menu board to see what treat we would be having the next morning. We were always pleased. A well stocked bar was also available with munchies too. The Pathfinder Suite had a very comfortable bed. The fireplace added to the ambiance of the room. Wireless internet. Flat screen TV, disguised as a mirror over the fireplace. Comfortable sitting area in the room. Large bathroom with separate claw-foot tub. Large shower with multiple jets and rain can. Lots of reading material. Love the plantation shutters. Jeff was a most hospitable host. He helped us with maps and information about delightful Richmond. He gave us great information about places to eat. He made us feel "at home".

Stayed here on a Thursday night to celebrate our anniversary. It was the best bed and breakfast we have ever been in. The room were beautifully appointed and exquisitely decorated. Breadkfast was amazing. And there is a very thoughtful and well-stocked butler's pantry should you be thirsty or need a bit to munch on. We will be back next time we stay in Richmond!

This was my second visit to Maury Place and it was just as good as the last time. The breakfast is always fabulous, and Jeff and Mac are always very helpful with restaurant recommendations and reservations. The room is comfortable and it's just a relaxing place to stay! Looking forward to third time's the charm!

We returned to Maury Place to celebrate our anniversary, having done so last year as well. The Pathfinder Suite is a large, well-appointed space that fronts Monument Avenue, offering a nice view but surprisingly very little traffic noise. As the night was cold and rainy, we could not take advantage of the private outside deck, but enjoyed sitting in front of the fire. Jeff Wells was a fine host, offering us wine upon check in, and serving up a delicious breakfast the following morning. We really enjoy the comfort of older homes, and appreciate the period details and furnishings of Maury Place. We again were the only guests on the night we stayed there, so loved having the house to "ourselves". Would recommend highly and definitely will go back again in the future.

The innkeepers could not have been more welcoming, the seated breakfast every morning more delectable, the rooms more comfortable! The enclosed garden with a lovely pool out back was a terrific place to enjoy morning coffee and a visit with our kids who live nearby. The well-stocked pantry with wine, beer, soft drinks, snacks and a coffee machine was a welcome addition as well. Stanley Reahard

Dr. Sandeep K. Krishnan, Associate Director, People Business, India
A sizeable number of writings exist today, which bewail the gap between what is taught at schools and colleges versus what is really needed by businesses to be sustainable in a contemporary knowledge-based economy. Senior business leadership often cites workforce talent as a key concern in global competitive environment. As rightly put forward by Santhanam B, MD, Saint-Gobain Glass India, in the May-June 2011 issue of People Matters, The key question that keeps CEOs awake at night is "Do we have the right people to capture the opportunities ahead of us?...
One of the questions that we are asked quite often by HR professionals is "How do we develop and sustain a culture of innovation?" Creativity and innovation have come to be associated with companies like 3M and Google as part of their very DNA, but others still continue to struggle in their search of the Holy Grail of innovation. Clearly, most companies recognize the need for innovation in every aspect of their work, but developing a culture that encourages it is completely another story.
Changing the Hierarchy- Conversation With vineet Nayar of HCL
Vineet Nayar, CEO of HCL Technologies, has written a book that describes how he defied conventional wisdom that says companies must put customers first, and helped
make HCLT one of the fast growing and profitable IT service companies in the world. In doing so, he has grabbed the attention of the business community, and turned the
hierarchical pyramid upside down by making management accountable to employees, not the other way around
Most of us have heard this question a million times: "Where do you want to be five years from now?" However, very few of us can give a sincere or realistic answer that has sharp clarity on where we want to be and how we plan to get there. The purpose of career-pathing is to help dovetail organizational success and personal achievement by guiding human capital into career paths that meet both organizational requirements as well as personal aspirations.
Coaching has today become a buzzword in organizations with the number of coaching models and practitioners in India increasing exponentially day by day. However, the concept of "coaching" is often confused with related concepts such as mentoring and counselling. The plethora of coaching institutes, models, ethical or professional guidelines and approaches available also tend to confuse newcomers to the subject. In this context, the SHRM Forum at Trivandrum on September 11, 2012 demystified the various facets and principles of coaching.
Everyone has sometime or the other been, favourably or otherwise, affected by a conflict. They have, in all likelihood, experienced conflicts and gained certain insights. This makes my task easier because you will find it easy to relate to what I am about to say and for the same reason, my task is also difficult because you probably have very firm views on the subject based on your insights.
In my work with leaders, I find that one common complaint of direct reports is that their leaders do a poor job of coaching. Yes, executives tend to be poor coaches.
They often neglect to schedule coaching time, and some leaders fear that coaching will come across as negative, alienating direct reports.
A lot of what passes for leadership development in companies can be a waste of time. See if you recognize this process. Your company taps you as a future leader. It sends you to "leadership camp," which can last anywhere from a day to a couple of weeks. You're entertained by a parade of speakers (like me), and afterward you're required to critique the speakers and rate how effective they were. If the company is particularly rigorous about gathering information, you may be asked to critique the hotel and the food. But nobody is critiquing you.
How can successful people get even better? Successful people are much more likely to accept coaching from those whom they respect and whom they see as successful.

As some of you may know, I enjoy analyzing stats (Darren McFarland is laughing right now-- IF he takes the time to read this). In hockey, stats are not always easy to come by. There aren't that many of them, and the basic ones don't tell the whole story (By the way-- if you ever want to get a rise out of Predators TV analyst Terry Crisp, ask him about the merits of plus/minus. Let's just say he doesn't like it). A "stay at home defenseman" cannot quantify his value by his goals and assists.
Fortunately, like in other sports (particularly baseball), there are those that are coming up with stats that can get a better illustration for the true value of the player. It is very difficult, because just like trying to evaluate an offensive tackle in football, in a team game you are relying on the players around you. You can't do it alone. Hockey Prospectus (www.HockeyProspectus.com) is among the groups trying to make statistical breakthroughs in hockey. One of the key minds behind this is Rob Vollman, whom has been a frequent guest on the Predators Pre Game show the last couple of seasons.
One thing that Vollman preaches as one of the most important indicators of team success is something that is quite logical but often not focused on (not unlike On Base Percentage was for decades in baseball until Moneyball changed things). It's a concept that Crispy (who ironically is "old school" and loves to rip on me for looking at stats too much) taught me years ago. We were watching practice one day late in the 2007 season and the Predators were among the best teams in the league having acquired Peter Forsberg (this was before the rash of injuries that would doom that team). I asked Crispy "what do you think this team's biggest weakness is?". Without hesitating, he took a piece of paper and spelled out one word: P O S S E S S I O N. Then he began scribbling some X's and O's as to why the Preds were vulnerable in that area.
I don't think I totally got the X and O part that Crispy drew up, but it's a pretty easy concept overall:
If your team has the puck, the other team can't score.
Now-- back to Vollman. He has started calling himself "The Human Buzz Kill" every time he comes on because recent Predator teams have baffled him due to their weakness in the area of possession. He consistently preaches doom for Nashville because of this, yet the Preds seem to have an uncanny knack for overcoming it. According to HP's stats, Nashville ranked 2nd to last in the NHL last year in puck possession in the following category: 5 on 5 situations in which the score is close. This is the most true indicator of a team's ability to control the game over the long haul. Nashville had the puck only 46% of the time in this situation, yet still ended up with the 4th seed in the Western Conference. More often than not, the team with the puck more (not coincidentally) will have more shots. But look at the Predators record over the last 3 seasons when being outshot by their opponent:
2011-12 32-18-4
2010-11 22-17-7
2009-10 21-13-4
Total 75-48-15
The Predators have been outshot in 58% of their games over the last 3 years, but they have been able to win 54% of those games plus get a point in 15 other contests. It is impressive, but continues to concern Vollman. In fact, if you read the Preds preview in HP, it's downright terrifying. Vollman believes is that eventually the law of averages will catch up to Nashville, and they will regress. How were they able to overcome this lack of possession time? Here you go:
1. Pekka Rinne
2. Pekka Rinne
3. High Shooting % (another category stat heads believe you can't count on consistently)
4. Great Power Play (#1 in the NHL last season)
5. Relatively good health (156 Man Games lost- #1 in the NHL according to HP)
6. The Preds' knack for "keeping the other team to the outside". The concept is "bend but don't break". Not ideal, but they are good at it.
7. Pekka Rinne
So can they keep this up? It's a legitimate concern. Losing Ryan Suter won't make it any easier. But players that Nashville acquired late in the season and then re-signed (Hal Gill and Paul Gaustad) should help because they will be available for the full season. A good way to gain possession of the puck is to win the faceoff, which is Gaustad's specialty. But the best theory of how the Preds can improve is the collective improvement from the young core of players that gained valuable experience last season (Gabriel Bourque, Nick Spaling, Matt Halischuk, Roman Josi, Ryan Ellis, Craig Smith, and Colin Wilson). Their continued development will be critical.
We'll be checking in with "The Human Buzz Kill" a few times this season. We'll see what the numbers look like. Of course, the only numbers that REALLY matter will be W's, L's, and Pts.

Coral red is what this is, Femme is a great texture and colour payoff that will suit anyone with warm tones. Light skin can probably pull off a tint of this if they wish. I personally like it but I'm in the neutral zone where it can go either way with my skin, mostly towards the bad match side. :( good creamy product.
If you're looking for a perfect summer color for your lips this will 100% do the trick. Its moisturizing, lasts long, and seems to be the perfect shade of coral without being too orange or too pink. Very bright and eye catching, and you can basically wear it with anything. Wonderful lipstick. Would buy again.

I was totally unsure if I liked this or not. It seems darker on me than all of the pictures shown here. Almost an orange red, and a bright one at that. But I oddly like it. Like it's almost good because it's bad. It feels nice too, but the smudge factor is high if you come into contact with anything. I did wear it out all night and re applied, but it looked great even at the end. Since I got it during a sale, I'm happy about the price. I might repurchase when I run out, but it takes me a while to finish a tube. I just added 2 massive swatch pictures and this color looks so similar to the Rimmel by Kate in matte 110. But I love both so... :) I will say it is way brighter in real life. It's impossible to get the pictures to capture correctly, that's why I made a comparison image.
I do like this color but may spring for L'oreal Volcanic next.

I adore this lipstick. I find it to be pretty moisturising and the colour is just beautiful, its the most gorgeous coral-red-pink shade ever, and most certainly NOT ORANGE. i do have to reapply throughout the day, but that's my only complaint.
I decided to clean out my makeup bags and found all three of my NYX lipsticks so I thought I would write a review.
Last summer, I went through a lipstick phase. Normally, I only wear chapstick or maybe a nude gloss but for some reason I wanted to try a coral and a red lip. So, off to Ulta I went and found NYX lipsticks for around $6 each. First, I cannot believe I spent $6 for each of these lipsticks because they are TERRIBLE! Each color is way too loud and a little off. The Femme is a beautiful coral in the container but once on, made my fair skin look sickeningly pale and was too orangey on me. Second, the formulation is what I would expect from a .99 lipstick. They are very sticky and get really clumpy when paired with a gloss. I had freshly exfoliated my lips so it was not me! I tried first applying chapstick and then lipstick and I still had clumps. Compared to Revlon, these lipsticks are not a great drugstore buy!
this color is quite garish and completely unnatural looking. it's pretty much a neon orange. I don't like it at all, it's not in the least bit wearable. I like the creaminess of NYX lipsticks but they don't last through anything.
omg what was i thinkin i wanted to try on orange lip i was scared because i have very dark skin (nw55) i was try this with so many liners and so many gloss and i still wont leave my house with it. will def not repurchase
The color is very similar to MAC's Toxic Tale, but a little bit more orangy. The durability is awful, so is it's smell and taste.
While inititally the color applied beautifully, I was mortified that about 2 hours later the color had seeped into the corners of my mouth and the inside portion of my lip! It looked horrid! It wouldn't blend despite my best efforts and reapplication! Even though it was only $4 at Ulta, I plan on returning this along with a few other purchases.
(Note that I do take good care of my lips and keep them hydrated and exfoliated. I did not have lip balm underneath when I wore this lipstick.)

NYX Round Lipstick in Femme is a bright pink-coral with a satin finish. Available in 126 shades, this super versatile line of lipsticks is paraben free, cruelty free, and hypoallergenic. I purchased this lipstick at Ulta for $4, for 4 grams of product. NYX is kinda hard to track down, but you can find it at Ulta, http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/, and http://cherryculture.com/, as well as select drugstores and e-tailers. This product is made in Taiwan.
Every single time I review Round Lipsticks, I rave about the adorability and functionality of the packaging. A black twist up tube with matching cap that snaps of firmly. The tube is sturdy, and about 2 1/2 inches long, making it purse and pocket friendly. They're also clearly labeled, making storage super easy. The NYX logo is cute and girly, without over powering the sleek packaging.
The color of Femme is a common one, but it has it's own personal complexity. Femme seems neutral to me, but I can't quite tell. Femme is very bright, making it perfectly on trend for the summer. It's a pink-coral, but it has a strong orange red tone to it. However the orange-red tones don't compromise the pink tones, but instead seem to balance them out. I suppose that's why it's neutral. Femme has a satiny finish when first applied, but as you wear it, it dries down to more of a matte finish, making it more wearable.
Femme applies very easily, but you may need two swipes to get a fully opaque coat. The texture of Femme is just a little drier than your average NYX Round Lipstick. But this is a good thing. Because Femme isn't as slick and slippery as most of the range, it wears much better. No feathering or sliding off the lip, with a bit less transfering. However Femme still only manages to wear for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Some how NYX Rounds just can't stay on for longer than that.
A lot of people complain about the sunscreen-like scent and taste of the NYX Round Lipsticks. Personally it doesn't bother me, but I thought it deserved a mention.
I love Femme. It's my new favorite NYX Round Lipstick. The only thing average about it is the wear time. It's texture is much better than usual. Best of all, Femme is perfect for spring and summer's bright lip trend, while still being wearable. I'll be wearing Femme frequently this summer, and if I manage to work my way through the whole tube, I'll most likely repurchase.
