I gushed about it here and here, and I've even gotten my colleague Mo Ryan to love it*, too. (*OK, that's an exaggeration, but I at least helped shame her into giving it a second chance. I'm still set on reaching my ultimate goal: to get her to love it without laundry.)
I've been re-watching episodes online, patiently waiting for Season 1 on DVD (releases Tues., Sept. 20), but I'm greedy when it comes to good comedy. I want more.
So of course I couldn't wait to catch up with the cast -- Elisha Cuthbert, Zach Knighton, Casey Wilson, Adam Pally, Eliza Coupe and Damon Wayans Jr, as well as creator David Caspe -- at their Paley Center screening and panel last night. Check out the interviews after the jump for Season 2 stories, teases for new ah-MAH-zing character quotables, returning guest stars and a few big name celebs they wouldn't say no to either.
Season 2 story lines:
Coupe: "Jane and Brad are exploring their sexual side. They are dirty birds in the sack ... just dirty. We don't get to see it [on TV], but we allude to it a lot."
Wayans: "Oh you'll see it, too! They've got these new cameras and I mean wow. Details, details ... "
Knighton: "Season 2, Dave and Alex move away from that stuff a little bit, and we start to kind of see who these guys are. I guess the writers thought that it's really funny when Dave gets obsessed with something, so there's be a lot of obsession for me this year, which will be really fun. Also, we're shooting [the Halloween episode] right now with Mr. [Fred] Savage directing ... there's some great costumes. Mine involves mistaken identity. There's a pretty amazing costume I can't talk about ... but it's awesome."
Guest stars:
Wilson, on Megan Mullally playing her TV mom: "We used her up. I mean, that woman ... we essentially raped her talent. She is obviously a triple threat -- that's not giving anything away -- and we were like, guess what? You bring a talent to set, it's going to get used. [Laughs] She hit a home run ... it was awesome."
Caspe, on Mullally's song and dance: "She is unbelievable. So hilarious and so talented. And Casey also, singing and dancing with her. We heard Megan was a fan of the show, and we were immediately like, 'Well we're huge fans of yours and we'd love to have you.'"
Pally: "A couple of our big ones from last year are going to be coming back, like Paul Scheer, Seth Morris, June [Diane Raphael] may be coming back -- I hope so -- and possibly Damon [Wayans] Sr."
Wayans on his real-life dad, Damon Wayans Sr, returning to play his TV dad again: "It's not a done deal, but it's a strong possibility. It's a tough get, but I kind of know people ... people that can talk to him. I know a guy that knows a guy."
Dream guest stars:
Pally: "I'm sure Michael Caine is a big fan. Sure. My ultimate get? Jim Carrey. If we could get Jim Carrey, I would die a happy man." Talking about Emma Stone? "I would love to do a little video with me and Jim Carrey talking about how much we love Elle Fanning. [Laughs] Elle Fanning is hot ... I'll wait. What have I got, three years left? Not a long time."
Knighton: "I kind of crush on Rachel McAdams, but I don't think she's gonna come do our show anytime soon. You know, if [Jennifer] Aniston wanted to come in, that'd be pretty cool."
Cuthbert: "Oh there are so many ... maybe Alex goes for a little older guy ... Johnny Depp maybe? What's he doing? Is he that busy that he can't come on 'Happy Endings' and give me a little smoochy smooch?"
Coupe: "I think [Jane and Brad] should have a threesome. With Ryan Gosling. I ... that boy ... oh ... I mean ... he's just ... I can't. I need it, I enjoy it, I think we would just have great conversation. When I say threesome, I just mean us, all three, having tea. Not even coffee! Just tea."
Wayans: "I'll just watch. For me, probably Nell Carter." Is she alive? "Oh, I meant Loretta Devine ... or maybe the ghost of Nell Carter. Whoever wants to come on, who's really funny -- maybe Rob Riggle. That'd be nice."
Wilson: "Why do we both think that our show's on any level that we can get Ryan Gosling? That's sad. Like, know your place."
New quotables:
Knighton: "A lot of stuff we made up, which is crazy, but you can expect a lot of español from this guy and I can't speak for the rest of them."
Coupe: "We do a whole British bit, Damon and Pally and I. We just made it up. We're making up things now and just incorporating it into every scene of every episode, so that they can't cut it out. We've become children. But I can't give the quote because [in a British accent] I want you to see it for yourself."
Pally: "You know, there's so many bits that happen off-set that they just have to leak in. Why not? I've got about 15 quotables. If someone tells you that you have to be someplace, you go 'heah or there?' Everybody's been doing Michael Caine impersonations on the show, so if someone asks you to do something, you go [in Michael Caine voice] 'Don't. Don't do it.'"
Wayans: "We definitely have had our British times, yeah. I don't really have like a saying, but we've been doing little things here and there that I think will stick."
Cuthbert: "I'm not at the point where I'm quoting the show yet! Well, I quote everyone else's characters, like Casey's 'ah-MAH-zing' and 'totes.'"
Wilson: "We've got some good quotes. You'll have to hear them ... I mean, I sort of feel bad that 'ah-MAH-zing' got so big. I hate it. Hate to love it."
Cuthbert: "Right off the top, it's more about seeing what Alex is up to, as opposed to diving right back into the dating scene," Cuthbert said. "But that doesn't mean it's not going to happen ... right around [episode] four and five, we're there, so everyone needs to brace themselves. I'm finding myself in some crazy situations."
Pally: "You know, in a perfect world, Max would find a man down the line, but right now it's so fun to have him just single ... he'll sleep with anybody! Max will sleep with anybody, any animal, anything that he finds attractive for even a slight second, he'll get in there."
Make 'em laugh:
Coupe: "Jane is crazy as a bucket of d***s. She is crazy, crazy ... if you think about it, that would be crazy. Literally nuts. Or severed from the nuts."
Cuthbert: "I mean, I'm still a punchline, don't get me wrong, but I'm getting to be more involved and a part of the comedy, which is what I'm here for and what I wanted to do. It's been great to sort of discover what it is in comedy that I do well. It turns out, I'm a big goof and I have a lot of fun making an idiot out of myself."
Knighton: "I love the comedy. I'm kind of the straight man on the show, but when they do give me that stuff, I embrace it fully. I love it. Nobody's really the straight man here."
Caspe: "We have this crazy deep cast where everybody is funny in a different way ... they make everything funny."
'Happy Endings' Season 2 premieres Wed., Sept. 28, 9:30PM ET on ABC

A Civil Write-In in Northampton,
Hosted by the Preserving Our Civil Rights Campaign
- Emma Roderick, Bill of Rights Defense Committee
(917) 412-4224, email@example.com
- Marianna Ballou, American Friends Service Committee
(781) 439-2804, email@example.com
NORTHAMPTON, MA — On Wednesday, June 29, at 7 p.m., several dozen Northampton residents from the Preserving Our Civil Rights campaign will deliver signed postcards and artwork to City Hall, urging city councilors to vote in favor of civil rights legislation set to reach the Council floor this August.
Prior to delivering postcards to City Hall, residents will meet in the basement of the Unitarian Universalist Society at 6 p.m. and will eat together, discuss the campaign, hear speakers, sign postcards, and make artwork.
The campaign, which was launched this year on Martin Luther King Day, seeks to pass local legislation to defend Northampton from federal erosion of civil rights and liberties. Specifically, the legislation addresses protection against unwarranted searches and seizures, implements transparency measures surrounding racial profiling, and affirms the Northampton Police Department's commitment to remain separated from federal immigration enforcement.
"This is an opportunity for the residents of Northampton to show that this is an issue they care about," said Evelyn Crunden, a Ward 4 resident of Northampton and member of the campaign. "We urge the city councilors to listen to their constituents."
The Preserving Our Civil Rights campaign is organized by the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), the Bill of Rights Defense Committee (BORDC), and the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts (ACLUM). It is also unanimously endorsed by the Human Rights Commission. For several months, the campaign has been canvassing, educating residents, and meeting with Councilors, the Chief of Police, and other community leaders. In addition, the campaign has also put on a community wide art project called "Civil Writes." The campaign hopes to have final language introduced to the City Council meeting on August 18.

I have not been physically around in this forum for some time now (due to health problems) but I have always been around in some way or another. So before I proceed to the more dubious part of my post, I'd like to say a HI THERE I'M STILL HERE HOW YA DOING and hope you are all well. I still love so much about this forum and want to thank you for perking me up on the hard days and especially Fryphile to you for what should be an award-winning thread (in fact I'll make up an awards ceremony now and declare you Thread Maintainer of the Year as well as Funniest Forumer....congrats!) in the Fry a Day. Once you're hooked you're hooked, and I don't want to know a world without it quite frankly!!
As some of you may or may not know, I dabble in a bit of writing here and there, even sometimes brandishing the label 'writer' in job description fields (preferring it over 'failed filing clerk on long term sick leave' which is not so peachy) and it seems through one thing and another that I have managed to get myself published. As I'm having to do a lot of promotion myself I'm looking at different ways to get the word out and it seemed natural to me to offer you the once in a lifetime chance to consider whether your life might be made marginally more exciting by owning a copy of my bundle of ideas and wonder that is my book. It is available in a variety of locations....
Obviously this is not a good time to be campaigning for anyone to part with their cash so I don't want to push it too hard. Alternatively, you can write a review on amazon (there is a plot summary to go on!) regardless of whether you've read it or not, or even mentioning the link on Twitter with the hashtag #thetower and that would help me out just as much :).
I want to say thank you to those of you who have already sent for my book and everyone who has supported me because it means a lot. Thanks guys. *hugs*.
Anyway, I hope you're having a good day and hopefully I'll be here a lot more to take part in all the wonderful conversations and squeeing here.
Lots of love

Poll: What do you think of the approach so far?
We're less than a week into free agency and already there are strong opinions flying around about how well general manager John Idzik and his front office colleagues have handled their approach to free agency.
We're interested in taking the temperature of the Jets' fanbase, so please participate in the poll below to give an indication of how you feel.
Please feel free to elaborate on your thoughts in the comments section.
I'm confused? Was it the Jet's or the Mets that got caught up in the Bernie Madoff ponzi scam? While teams with way less cap space than we have continue to stockpile talent for the upcoming season our new "zen Master' with the mystical plan" continues to sit on his considerable wallet as the cream of the free agent crop is scooped up by teams with less cap space? I have no idea what this plan of his is as so far it is comprised of mediocre drafting, re-signing older mediocre players (with Decker the lone exception) and sitting buy as rivals like the Pat's and Giants pick up players that would no doubt greatly improve this roster. Can anyone here debate the fact that had we signed J.Byrd to team with our Antonio Allen, Alteruaun Verner to team with Milliner, and Guard J.Schwartz to replace Colon that we would not be a significantly better team going into the draft? I completely understood the situation Mike Tannenbaum left him in last year and was fine with the fact he basically employed Tannenbaum's plan to fix the cap situation.But what has Idzik done to inspire all the love and confidence I read on this site? Draft mediocre players and sign mediocre players as free agents?
Sorry Johnny boy, but that's not gonna get the job done in this town!
I'm happy so far with the exception of CB. I can't stomach drafting another CB in the 1st or even 2nd and 3rd. I want offense 1-3 rds. Isn't signing dcro even at a high valuation still saving money over acro?
please please please no CB in 1st idzik please.
In before "BPA might be CB". Not when you have a lot of talented WR or OL @18. WR or OL please.
Where's Mike T annenbaum when you need him. This guy is in WAY OVER HEAD!
Idzik is sitting on the sidelines, so far. He better wake up and fill a few holes or he is going to have a short term stay with us.
Not happy with the way things have panned out so far but I've got to stop and think for a minute. Idzik was the GM in Seattle for a few years, and he helped build a solid team, not over night. I think in a weird, bad way we've been spoiled with Tanny's huge, splash signings over the years that we were all expecting to see Tanny's mindset in progress.
We all know, and have expressed our anguish, over the way Tanny left us no money to work on the future. We're not 2, or three signings away from the Super Bowl, so even though we are all starving as fans, lets save some money and see what we're all saying next year at this time...
DRC visiting the Giants tomorrow for a physical. Saying a deal is already in place. Idzik dropped the ball again
The part that bugs me is that the Patriots got better. If Wilfork actually leaves then great, but Revis, LaFell, retaining Edelman, and the prospect of a focused Kenny Britt scares the crap out of me.
I dont like the Idzik approach, but Im holding out hope
Just cause I dont like it doesnt mean its wrong, but with money to spend Im not a fan of the way this guy goes about his business...way too slow for a team with money, coming off a surprising season, in the biggest market in the world
I personally think the Jets pretty much have to sign DRC, re-sign Cro or sign 49er CB Brown or havent used cap space to improve team.
I like having Pace back. Good player and quality guy. Let him rush!
Pace is back. Cue the Gap Band!
ZOMG. The Jets re-signed Calvin Pace... they aren't doing anything!!!
Pace is back! 2 years and 5 million is decent value for a player of his ilk.
With Thurmond signing with the NYG dos that all but guarantee DRC is coming here?
@ProFootballTalk: Calvin Pace re-signs with Jets, per league source. Two years, $5 million.
@Brian Serviss jumped the gun. He also took a physical for the Jets today as well
@Matt Comer don't forget Browner.
@lageman I'm all on board with signing DRC at 6MM per year.
I'll give him 6 years, 54MM, at:
6MM, 6MM, 10.5, 10.5, 105, 10.5 and cutting him after a year 2.
I'm not fine with breaking the bank on him. Let him sign with one of our rivals for taht much.
@Paul Samuels Agree
@Kyle Ely He's going in for a second meeting with them tomorrow
@Kyle Ely not much money...Giants could still get DRC.
@Kyle Ely No. Browns could be interested, other teams could be. Thurmond signing means the Giants might be less likely, and little else.
@Pat d He had it coming. I did not like when he denied it.
Wow Joey got Brendan to admit he did say something that he denied saying. Never thought I 'd see the day,
@jake100 Congrats, you've proved me wrong. Here's a cookie. It's pretty sad and mildly creepy that you actually save our exchanges, Joey.
@Brendan @jake100 You forced me to show the conversation that we had a while back: Brendan:
@jake100 I would be upset if they offered him more then the vet minimum, no need for that.
@Brendan @jake100
I disagree, if it is just slightly more, considering his solid versatile performance last season and that we are a little thin at the position. He is also a solid veteran and knows the system inside out.
@jake100 A veteran minimum deal for someone with Pace's tenure has salary cap benefits. Paying him $1 more than the minimum makes those benefits go bye-bye.
@Brendan @jake100
We will have to see what happen
@jake100 No, I said I hoped it was for the minimum. If he was getting legitimate interest elsewhere, paying him $2.5 mil APY on a deal that probably isn't guaranteed in the 2nd year makes sense. At best, you have another season like he had last year facing single-teams for the first time in his time on the team. At worst he craps out and you cut bait.

Product Reviews (3)
Really fun product
Strengths: Easy setup, 300 alreay built-in songs, easy to use, easy to follow along with the words, headphone jack
Weakness: Music is similar to .midi and not cd quality, a bit pricey, on screen pictures are boring
The setup consisted of just plugging in 3 wires and the ac adapter. You punch in the song number from the provided mini binder and you're good to go. It already has 300 built-in songs from a variety of genres, but additional songs come in cartridges that are about $50 a pop. It's attached with a long cable, but you can buy a separate wireless mic. These random pictures (mountains, fields, oceans, etc) pop up on the screen while the songs are playing, and they get pretty boring and annyoing after a while.

Leadsinger Review
Strengths: The feature of having the "All-In-The-Mic" design. There is no cumbersome unit to find a place for storage, having this feature is also a plus when taking it to other locations.
Weakness: Would love to see the main mic have a wireless design just like the duet mic.
Prior to purchasing this Karaoke system, I attended a party which someone brought this exact unit to share at a 40th b-day party. What great fun we all had-all the laughs and giggles, you would have thought someone was turning 16. I had often thought of getting a karaoke machine several years prior and had my eye on one that had a box unit containing it's speakers and dials but the mic was wireless--what a great feature. Then I saw and used Leadsinger first hand, and "fell in love". Still would love to see a complete wireless unit but I'll take the concept of "all in the mic" any day.

It was a hit with my family
Strengths: It's compact and plugs right into the TV! It turns your TV into a karaoke system. It was the biggest hit of our Christmas.
Weakness: Three cords plug into the TV and one into an outlet. The directions were either lost in the Christmas morning madness, or it didn't include any.
This is one of the best buys of the year. I was sceptical, however, a friend of ours had one and my kids just love to use theirs. It's even a bigger hit at our home. The only negative is that we have all the kids in our neighborhood now wanting to come over and sing. My husband has even sung us a tune or two.

Welcome to kennel
Wheatstone's homepage!
"Since 1983"
We have had Irish Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers since 1978. Our first litter was born in 1983.
Our goal is to breed Wheatens that are up to the F.C.I. breed standard, that are healthy and have a good temperament. Wheatstone Wheatens work in obedience, agility, tracking, in friend-dog activity for elderly, as search and rescue dog - but most of all - they are loveful companions
Kennel Wheatstone has bred more than 70 Show Champions and has been honoured with the Finnish Kennel Clulb's Vuolasvirta-award and the Finnish Terrier Club's Breeder's Award.
Change of puppy plans, there will be no puppies this summer. Next litter planned at fall.
More info later. Pentutilanne muuttunut, kenneliimme on tulossa pentuja aikaisintaan syksyllä 2014. Lisätietoja lisätään myöhemmin.

Everyone who goes to Salmon Days, Issaquah's annual celebration of the return of its local seafarers seems to have more fun than a fish in water.
From the grande parade beginning Saturday morning at 10 a.m. to Dock Dogs competitions throughout the weekend, music, art, the "Field of Fun" for kids with tons of great activities put on by festival "spawnsors" at Veterans Memorial Field--and of course if you go you can't miss a trip to the which is literally jumping with activity just near all the action of the festival.
Patch is an ofishal spawnsor, too, and we'll be there right near the Front Street Stage with our wheel o' prizes for folks who stop by and sign up to try out our convenient daily e-newsletter for any of the 15 great local Patch sites. You can also enter online here to try the newsletter and be entered into our contest to win one of four cool Salmon Days prizes.
So, with all the activity, parking right next door to the festivities is really not an option, so you should consider it a walking day. Luckily, there is a handy shuttle that runs every 15 minutes and picks up from three parking locations between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. both days. See the map above to plan your route to and from the festival.
Attractions Not to Miss
The grande parade, starting at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 6, boasts more than 90 entries and can be seen from Front Street at NW Dogwood, down Gilman Boulevard to 12th Ave and along 12th Ave to the Sports Authority parking lot.
The celebrating its 75th anniversary, is a must-see while you're at the festival. The Hatchery raises two of the five types of Pacific salmon; Coho or silver salmon and Chinook or king salmon. The Hatchery provides an artificial means for spawning salmon; eggs are removed from the female fish and fertilized. Once they mature into "fingerlings" they are released into the Issaquah Creek to begin their migration downstream.
Music, music, music. The festival has four stages, all alive with entertainment throughout the festival. Click the links here to see the schedules for the Go Fish! Stage, the Front Street Stage, the Hatchery Stage, and the Rainier Boulevard Stage.
Arts and Crafts vendors will be stationed along Front Street, along with the many local businesses and eateries that will be open for business during the festival.
The Issaquah Depot Museum will have its newly renovated trolley on display. Though it won't be running this weekend, you can get a little preview of the car that soon will be making its way up and down the tracks of Issaquah's historic district.
What's your favorite part of Salmon Days? Tell us in the comments.
We hope to see you upstream on Saturday.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
This ties in nicely with a theory I just posted on The Queue, so I'll repost it here.
One of the major content patches will feature Nazjatar as a raid, with Queen Azshara as the boss. The evidence for this:
-Her direct appearance in Darkshore
-Reintegration of the Shen'dralar, formerly her greatest mages, into Night Elf society
-Her most trusted aide, Xavius, recently made himself known and was subsequently defeated in the Emerald Dream
-The very strong presence of the Naga, under orders of Azshara to attack Vashj'ir, a former Highbourne city.
Also, yes I know that Blizz once stated that Azshara were not intended to be part of the expansion and she'd likely get an expansion to herself, but plans change and they could've been purposefully misleading people. Recall they also said that we wouldn't be fighting the Lich King until level 100 or so.
Well, I did say one of the patches. Who says the final boss of the expansion has to be the dude on the box? Maybe Azshara will be the final boss of Cataclysm. It would make a certain amount of sense, given that we're going to her neighbourhood (the Maelstrom) this expansion, and it would certainly be an interesting plot twist (for example, having to team up with Deathwing to defeat the bigger threat that is Queen Azshara).
Blizzard has already said multiple times ever since the end of TBC that they aren't going to screw up and make the main boss of the expansion not the final boss of the expansion again. Deathwing also would definitely never team up with the mortals of the planet.
That's not the mistake they wanted to correct. The problem with Illidan was that it really wasn't clear until players got into Black Temple that he actually was a major villain, his influence throughout Outland was portrayed poorly, and he was also knocked out too quickly, still near the beginning of the expansion. But remember, WoW is not Buffy. There doesn't need to be a single Big Bad that inevitably gets permanently defeated in the season finale. That just sounds way too predictable.
4.0 Raid: 2 Elemental Lords + Bastion of Twilight
4.1 Raid: ? (Old god?)
4.2 Raid: CoT:War of the Acients(deathwing goes crazy, Azshara becomes Naga, first glimpse of Sargeras)
4.3 Raid: Deathwing
Azshara=Great sea xpac IMO (Revisit Kezan, Zandalar, Kul'Tiras, Broken Ilses, Naga capital, old god under maelstrom, etc)
We are getting out of WC3 stuff, Villains and Protagonists need to be introduced in the expantion prior, since less people know the deeper lore.
i doubt a CoT raid would be a solo raid in any tier of content, maybe foundless, but it doesn't seem like a good idea for blizz to center a whole tier on a wing of a cave.
4.1 bastion of twilight
4.2 CoT and old god
4.3 ashara
4.4 deathwing
and i agree with folk who have said sargeras will be the last intended boss of the game, it just makes way too much sense. and that'll prolly be when we hit level 100 ( just to make it a nice round number ). that siad, that probably leaves 2 MAYBE 3 expansions between now and then.
emerald dream and fully taking care of the old gods would be a good expansion in themselves
leaving the last one an all out offensive on the burning leigon. probably using some of those extra portals in outland or something, who knows?
Actually, more like this:
4.0: Cho'gall, Air Lord (Al'akir), Neltharion
4.1: Firelands (Ragnaros), War of the Ancients
4.2: Old God (?) / Something Else
4.3: Deathwing / Something else
They said they dont want to do just one raid in a patch again, because that is just f'ing annoying.

Critically assess the view that we can come to gain knowledge through rational intuition and deduction
Critically assess the view that we can come to gain knowledge through rational intuition and deduction
Intuition: immediately self evident eg a triangle has three sides and we dont have to think about it
Deduction: need to be worked out as its not self evident
Empiricists believe that…
We need sense experience and reflection to gain knowledge.
Rationalists believe that…
We do not need prior experience to gain knowledge eg. Decartes Cogito theory (evil deceiver) : a priori intuition, "certainty", abscence of doubt
Illusion argument - because our senses decieve us eg. halluciations, imaginging water in the middle of the desert, we should we should not trust on sense alone
Dreaming - we dream of an external world therefore we know that we exist
Evil Deceiver - how do we know that we are not being completely deceived?
Through the illusion argument he claims the most extreme doubts of our existence (illusion, dreaming, evil deceiver) proves that we exists - we must exist in order to exist
"I think therefore I am"
Humes response to Cogito - EMPIRICIST
Introspect - we ony see perspectives NOT ourselves so we may not exist
When Hume deny's "self" He uses the term "I" which is acknowledging himslef that he exists
Assess the view that claims about what exists can be grounded and justified by a prior intuition:
A priori referes to believing that something is either true or false, without experience. For example, it is possible to know that a plane can fly without seeing a plane or being on one. Intuition is something you know immediatley, such as a triangle has three sides. By using these intuitions as a foundation, we can use deduction to demostrate or prove further a priori thruths about what other things must exist and what they must be like.
Decartes basically says that he can doubt everything, but he cannot doubt his own existence. He is certain of this, however there are three waves of doubt.
The illusion argument outlines that to know that the real world is like, he needs to be sure that he is not being decieved by his sense.
Origins of God - Swinburne
Critically discuss the idea that the idea of 'God' can be explained by mundane social and psychological processes.
Projection is the key to all sociological and psychological explanations of the origins of the idea of God. However, the projection involved is taken to be unconscious, we don't realise that we are invented the idea of God. The idea is that human beings create the idea of God as a reflection of their fears, their childhood experiences or to fulfil some kind of social role.
First evaluation point
The problem with each of these statements is that there are many fairly obvious counter examples, for example… Durkheim says that God was created in order to make social solidarity, helping to produce a general consensus. However, it could be said that religion could divide people, not cause solidarity. On the other hand, Hume says that religion is a result of humans projecting their fears into natural occurrences, however, it is arguable that there would be no reason for god to be transcendent as theists see god. This is because it wouldn't make sense to make god a projection of us if he isn't going to be in time with us.
Moreover, the idea of God in the theistic tradition seems to contain elements, such as transcendence, that, it could be argued, are not necessary if all we are doing is projecting a God based on fear or as a projection of a father figure.
I think that even though the sociological reasons are more relevant today than the psychological reasons, the psychological explanations from Hume are the most appropriate in coming up with the origins of God as people hundreds of years ago were superstitious and so wanted explanations for natural events.
Second evaluation point
It can also be argued that the concept of God may be a social or psychological construct; however, this doesn't mean that the idea of God is just a human construction. Clack says that even if religion was developed by humans, it doesn't mean it's not true. This is explained further by John Hick who responds to criticises Freud's criticisms. While Frued says that God is a projection of people's views of their fathers, Hick states that as people see children as dependent and as being loved, they can see that that is what their relationship to God is like. Therefore, God indirectly make people think of god as a father as he creates the same relationship between humans which they then find similarities in. However, if someone has grown up without a father figure, how can they know exactly know what the father- child relationship is like.
Third evaluation point
It has been argued by theistic philosophers like Richard Swinburne that psychological and sociological accounts of the origins of God fail to take account of the origins of knowledge of God in genuine experience of God. He thinks that there is a principle of credibility. This means that we should believe that things are real unless we have evidence that they are mistaken. There is also the principle of testimony which is the thought that it's reasonable to believe what someone tells you unless there is evidence otherwise. Unless someone is a known liar or was on hallucinogenic drugs, we shouldn't not trust someone. Other people may feel that whereas all normal people are able to perceive objects, and to perceive them in much the same way, religious experiences only happen to certain people, which are normally religious people.. Swinburne on the other hand argues that as non-religious people don't have expectations or knowledge of god, therefore they wouldn't know if they had a religious experience.
Can empiricist explain abstract concepts?
ABSTRACT CONCEPTS = green - means something different to everyone, triangle - different types, mammal - no distinct picture of mammal
Locke - you use features of seperate concepts, which you have experienced, and put them together to form an abstract concept
Berkeley - all concepts must copy experience, to be able to picture them is very important. Abstract concepts are inexperiable, not even in theory or empiricists can explaon. eg human, colour.
Conclusions of Objections…
Objection 1;
Objection 1 is basically saying that God puts the "idea of God" in our subconscious minds as part as our human nature, so we would come up with the idea of God on our own, but not really because we would have been told by God to think of a God.
However, if this was true, where does free will come into the equation, if God told us to think up a "God" then surely he would be taking away our free will to believe in him in the first place.
Out of all the theories, the most probable seem to be Durkheim and Marx, as their theories can be actively applied to society, whereas the psychological theories; Frued Hume and Feuerbach, can never truly be proved as it is just an onbervation of the mind.
i think he's trying to tell me something
Evaluating the Ontological Argument
Kant criticised the ontological argument, he says that existence is not a predicate. We can imagine something which is the same as the existing thing, however, the predicate that it exists is not a predicate at all. This means that God may or may not exist. This can also be applied to the Loch Ness monster - it has many predicates including green in colour, under water features, scales etc, but the idea that it exists is not a predicate.
Problem of Evil
If God was all powerful, all knowing and all loving, why does he allow evil?

Research Day represents the culmination of student research efforts and course projects.
(l. to r.) President Robert R. Lindgren, Professors Elizabeth Fisher, Catherine
Staples, and Grace Lim-Fong, and Provost William Franz
Randolph-Macon College celebrated Research Day and Honors Convocation on May 17,
Research Day
This campus-wide event represents the culmination of student research efforts, including
senior and honors theses, as well as course projects. It also affords first-year
students, all of whom participate in the First-Year Experience (FYE) program, the
opportunity to create culminating projects that reflect their year-long, integrated
academic experience. Research Day activities includes poster sessions, presentations,
seminars, video projects, drama presentations and more.
Some of the students involved in Research Day did so in conjunction with the college's
unique Schapiro Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF)
program. SURF was introduced in 1995 as an endowment to support scholarly undergraduate
research by students in all disciplines. Students conduct 10 weeks of full-time,
original research during the summer months, under the guidance of a faculty mentor.
The initial gift for the program was made by Benjamin Schapiro '64 and his wife
Honors Convocation
Clad in caps and gowns, Randolph-Macon College graduating seniors marched into Blackwell
Auditorium, R-MC Center for the Performing Arts for the college's annual Honors
Convocation Ceremony.
More than 100 awards and scholarships were announced, along with recognition of
students inducted into honor societies. Several faculty and staff were also honored.
The Thomas Branch Award for Excellence in Teaching Award, presented by Provost William
Recipient: Professor Grace Lim-Fong
In 1969, R-MC received a gift from the Cabell Foundation as a memorial to Thomas
Branch, president of Merchant's Bank, a member of the Board of Trustees from 1846-1883,
and one of the principle figures responsible for the college's relocation from Boydton,
Virginia to Ashland. The gift established the Thomas Branch Award for Excellence
in Teaching. The award is given annually, and the recipient is selected by the students
of Phi Beta Kappa, Omicron Delta Kappa, and the Honors Program.
Grace Lim-Fong (biology) joined the faculty
in 2009. She earned her B.S. from the University of California, Berkeley and her
Ph.D. from the University of California, San Diego.
"Grace quickly developed a following among students as a professor with high standards
and an approach that motivates her students to achieve," said Franz. "In addition
to her outstanding teaching, she is also rapidly developing a reputation for excellence
in research, and her ability to involve her students in that research makes her
investigations all the more valuable. Perhaps most illustrative of how our winner
influences her students, one said, 'I've learned so much in this class! I now feel
confident in my abilities to research and read scientific papers as well as come
up with ways to analyze interesting scientific research questions.'"
The United Methodist Church Exemplary Teaching Award, presented by President Robert
R. Lindgren
Recipient: Professor Catherine Staples
The Board of Higher Education and Ministry of The United Methodist Church, jointly
with R-MC, annually recognizes a professor who exemplifies teaching excellence,
civility, concern for students and colleagues, commitment to value-centered education,
and service to students, the institution, the community and church.
Catherine Staples (accounting) joined the
faculty in 1995. She earned her B.B.A. from the College of William & Mary and
her Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina.
"From adding clickers in the classroom to using an online problem-set software to
continually tweaking her course pedagogy, Cathy creates a reflective teaching environment
where students are helped to figure out on their own how to do something," said
Lindgren. "She teaches courses at all levels while still finding time to handle
one of the largest advising loads on campus. Students trust her wise counsel and
helpful demeanor and look to her for mentorship, which she gladly provides. Her
scholarly work is also prodigious, and Cathy has shown herself to be an outstanding
member of our community."
The Samuel Nelson Gray Distinguished Professor Award, presented by President Lindgren
Recipient: Professor Elizabeth Fisher
The Samuel Nelson Gray Distinguished Professor Award was established by Mrs. Virginia
Clark Gray Backus in memory of her husband, an alumnus and former trustee of R-MC.
Although called the Distinguished Professor Award, this prize was established to
honor the faculty member or senior administrator selected by the president as the
person who has made a distinguished contribution to the college.
Elizabeth Fisher (classics) joined the faculty
in 1987. She earned her B.A. from the College of William and Mary, her M.A. from
Florida State University and her Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota.
"Beth is the personification of passion, intensity and dedication; during her amazing
26 years with us, she has proven to be a master teacher, highly regarded scholar
in the broad spectrum of classics, art history
and archaeology, and engaged
member of our college committee system," said Lindgren. "Her frequent travel-study
trips—to Ethiopia, Israel, Egypt and other destinations—elicit special praise as
being rigorous, filled with information and experiences, and exciting for her students.
Her teaching effectiveness receives consistent praise from her students, colleagues,
and department chair, and her professional activity is prolific and spans the world."
The Marilyn J. Gibbs Dedicated Service Award, presented by John Conkright, executive
assistant to the president
Recipient: Rodney Bardwell
This award, created by a generous gift from former Dean of Admissions and Financial
Aid Steven Nape and his wife Diane, is given annually to a staff member for outstanding
service to and support of the mission of the college. The award is named in honor
of Marilyn J. Gibbs, whose 18 years of dedicated service to the college as assistant
professor of sociology and then registrar exemplified the highest ideals embodied
in the college's mission.
Rodney Bardwell (residence life and housing)
joined the staff in 2005.
"Rodney is a man of integrity—honest, trustworthy and flexible," said Conkright.
"He creates a work environment where successes are celebrated and failures are perceived
as a chance to grow and develop. As one colleague said, our recipient will 'not
ask of us anything that he himself will not do.' Rodney has advised numerous student
organizations; sat on Disability Services, Benefits and other college committees;
created an open communication partnership between Athletics and Residence Life;
and worked tirelessly to meet the needs of the college and its students. His pure
passion for higher education and the success of each and every student is beyond

Some of my greatest memories in dungeons have been when I'm doing them with 4 friends and can just slow down and enjoy the scenery, as well as our own chatter. I understand why a team of strangers rush these dungeons - everybody has different objectives at times, and there's some anxiety about whether the people would actually get along or not in the end. But when you're out just to get some dungeon achievements with friends and in no rush, it definitely makes for some memorable experiences.
I still remember that night in Maraudon when friends and I got lost for about four to five hours and just had to figure our way around while we were doing all the quests. Same thing happened in Blackrock Depths into the wee hours of the morning. (The Sunken Temple and Blackrock Rise were more tedious experiences though.) In all cases, though, they actually felt like genuine adventures. It's almost a shame that most players will never really take the time to do something like that, and I consider it a borderline tragedy that Blizzard is trying their best to take the possibility of that happening out of the game altogether.

Carl's Jr's Western Cheeseburger, the Rodeo Cheeseburger takes your basic junior-sized cheeseburger and uses barbecue sauce (used to be Bull's-Eye but is now Sweet Baby Ray's) and onion rings instead of the normal pickles, ketchup, and mustard.
In my area, it costs $1.49.
I liked junior-sized burgers; they whet my appetite without stuffing my tummy. That being said, a fair set of people will need at least two Rodeo Cheeseburgers to achieve fullness.

Wacky Liberal Thinking … And: Obama, Pelosi, Other Liberals Diagnosed With New Disease
Quote from a wacky liberal:
"I would now like to answer the insinuation by some of these seemingly obtuse propagandists that American Taxpayers are footing the bill for The President and His Family when they travel for pleasure.
The fact is that all such personal expenses are paid for by The Obamas out of their own personal monies and the Taxpayers are never on the hook for a dime of it."
It saddens me to know the above quote is from a seemingly intelligent person …
There is quite a bit to be blogging about this morning. I can't seem to shake the thought at the massive amount of deception those on the left readily accept as truth. Yet as I visit and look at the content of most left-wing, liberal blogs I notice that most of the very important issues of scandal, crime, and waste being committed by Obama and company are avoided. Most of the posts on those blog sites are about the rich not paying their "fair share". Or repeating the same old Bush's fault stuff constantly fed by Obama and his ilk. I even saw one that was ranting about how the "radical right-wing conservatives" are responsible for the large soft drink ban in New York and the onslaught of smoking bans around the nation. All because the conservatives want to control everything. I really need to break free of how amazed I am that liberal-minded people can be so … I dunno … intellectually challenged?
Obama, Pelosi, Other Liberals Diagnosed With New Disease
By Michael J Nellett
House Minority Leader Nancy "Botox" Pelosi has said that Republicans' pursuit of the truth about "Operation Fast & Furious" is nothing more than an attempt at voter surpression? What? If you question Obama's policies or his statements you're considered RACIST. If you are against ILLEGAL immigration, you are a BIGOT. It seems that if you're in favor of obeying and enforcing our laws, you are a "narrow minded neanderthal"! Black Democrats are saying that Attorney General Eric Holder, Jr's stonewalling on Operation Fast & Furious is really no big deal! Two men died because of that failed operation, and it's no big deal?!
"The private sector is doing fine", our President said. REALLY? Maybe the President needs a field trip out into the real world! It seems that Washington has contracted that most deadly of all diseases: 'Terminal cerebral ambulatory rectal inversion." It is brought on by stupidity and nourished by ignorance.
Okay, Hillary Clinton played a major part in Operation Fast And Furious. Am I surprised? Not a bit. She's more corrupt than most of the people on the planet and has been working tirelessly for more gun control … or banning private firearm ownership altogether.
Barack Obama accomplished his goal of turning control of Egypt over to the Muslim Brotherhood; America and Israel haters …

Capeline (derived from the French word for hat) or 'harquebusier's pot' is the name given to this distinct type of post-Renaissance helmet with the 3 bars as a face grill.
Harquebusier - This type of cavalryman was characterised by the use of a form of carbine, initially termed a "harquebus" (a word derived from the heavier infantry weapon, the arquebus). In the late 16th century the harquebusier was envisioned, like the similar and earlier petronel, as a support for more heavily armoured cavalry, demi-lancers or pistol-armed cuirassiers and reiters. Later, towards the mid 17th century, the harquebusier became the standard type of cavalry found throughout western Europe. The later harquebusier was increasingly used in a shock role on the battlefield.

Having found a source for a buff coat I plunged headlong into getting a kit for a period light horseman. Most of the major pieces you need are right here. This armor kit is almost too good a bargain to be taken seriously. Fact is it looks reasonably right for the period and for a 6foot 2in 200 pound person it fits well. The helmet is gigantic. I wear a 7 5/8 hat and this thing swallowed my head. Need to find a headliner for this and/or a very substantial arming cap. Also needs a chinstrap mod as it comes without any provision. It's still a great deal for a base kit.

Piling up vacation days and never taking all you have coming to you?
Join the crowd.
A new study done for JetBlue Airways found 57 percent of working Americans won't use all their vacation time by the end of the year, according to this report from BusinessNewsDaily. On average, they lose out on 11 vacation days, or 70 percent of their total allotted time off.
Not that they don't want a break.
Some 39 percent worry about asking the boss for their time.
"We were surprised to learn that almost a third of American workers feel guilty, nervous or stressed when asking for a day off of work," said Grant McCarthy, director of JetBlue Getaways.

At my office, if you use all of your vacation, that is considered a negative and you may be laid off.
November 17th, 2011
1:13 pm
At my place of employment, I am allowed to carry over 240 hours of vacation time. I keep my earned vacation at the max. If I am laid off the company will pay me for my unused vacation time. This is six weeks pay in the bank!

Guilty or nervous for asking for their EARNED vacation time? That's screwed up.
This is a point of contention with me. Companies EMPLOY you, not OWN you.
I always like the, "Make sure you check your e-mails and keep your phone on." Uh. No. I'm going on VACATION. If I wanted to work I'd wouldn't take VACATION. Look, if the job can't get the job done because someone takes their earned vacation, that's the sign of a failed boss.
Just call me old fashioned, but I give the company more than what they pay me. My time is My time.

Roberto, I agree with you completely, but the reality is in many cases that such an attitude will get many people black-listed for the next layoff or pay review. Unfortunate but true.
My company is small and I've been in other small organizations where employees aren't allowed to take more than 5 consecutive days off at once, and are expected in some cases to check in with their backup in the office. Some vacation!
My vacation days do not roll over, and we won't get compensated for unused time, so I'm using them up. I am fully aware of the fact that the company's not doing too well financially, but it's my time, and if I get laid off, then it's my loss!
November 18th, 2011

I most certainly take all my time. It's my time and I'm not going to let it go to waste.
And my loyalty to my company only goes to my next paycheck. I live by the philosophy that if they didn't need me, I'd be gone the next day. So why should I show much more loyalty to them than that.

Taking contractually entitled vacation days is not cause to be fired. Period. If it happens, fight it. Or realize that company is not the right place for you and move on.

I do not get any sick or vacation days off, or any holidays….It's a bitch…I'm retired! But I did get credit for two years of unused leave to retire "early" after getting paid for 9 weeks of vacation that did not apply to retirement. Those days are in the past!

I am fortunate to work for a company that strongly suggest you take a 5 day straight vacation. Plus you can't carry over your vacation time from one year to the next so it would be crazy for us not to us ours. My area doesn't have a problem asking for time off. But we work very hard so we deserve it.
November 18th, 2011

We have 2 weeks paid vacation (some people have more… based on length of time working with company). There are 2 months out of the year (Feb-April) where no vacation is allowed except for special circumstances approved by the GM. That is our busy season. Come May (when the vacation time ends), nearly everybody in the office takes a week vacation. But we all work hard and it is well deserved and earned.

Thankfully my place of employment encourages workers to use their time. It's been said we work hard, and need that break to re-energize. When I go, I do not check VM or emails. They do have my cell # if there is an emergency.

I am an American ex-pat living in Europe and although there are many, many things I miss about home, the fanatical imbalance between work/personal life is not one of them.
I get 30 days' vacation plus public holidays and I am encouraged to use ALL of them. My wife just had a baby and she gets 12 months' maternity leave, 9 of them paid. We have very average jobs.
Although work ethic helped forge the US into the power it is today, some sense of balance is needed as things are incredibly askew right now — people need time to be away and to be with their families. This makes me never want to come back.

I work for an European company and I get around 27 days off per year. No way can I take 27 days off and I usually end up leaving some on the table..

I have used ALL of my EARNED VACATION every year for every year that I am eligible. And I dont use SICK time to steal additional days. I don't feel bad when I vacation but I always feel refreshed and renewed when I come back. I encourage my employees to do the same.

Any Professionalism at work requires "Responsibility".
If you take your "vacation time", just make sure it's not during some peak work season or deadlines or a thought of "I will work on it when I get back" attitude and especially make sure it is planned in advanced. Not, "Oh, I feel like taking a vacation starting tomorrow because I can".
Sometimes unplanned events do pop up at work that might effect your vacation time (that was planned ahead of time), that's just nature of life. When that happens, just have a backup plan or person or whatever can cover you while your gone. Then, let your boss or management or whomever in charge know about it, to give them comfort you during your absence. Remember: THEY NEED YOU!!! that's why you are working for them.
By doing this it would be a real professional courtesy giving you advantage and comfort while your vacationing (not worrying about work), while letting whomever responsible know that they can feel less stress while you are gone when things go wrong.

My company is pretty generous with vacation time. Matter of fact, we are required to use up at least half of our vacation time by the end of June each year. The number of days we get increases each year we work. I'm very fortunate in that aspect. Also, I do NOT work at all when I'm on vacation.
It's a damn shame that a country as advanced as the USA is so behind the times when it comes to this subject.

In the past, there were years where i didn't take all of it. However, after my break-up with my ex (partially due to my working too much), i've come to value my family mroe and spending more time with my loved ones. With that being said, i most certainly use my days off BUT i work my ass off when i'm at work so there's no reason for them to look down on me negatively. If you're afraid to ask and givign it your all at your job, that says something about your character .. you're weak.

Roberto and Ghost, you have it right my friends. Work is a means to an end, noting more, nothing less. I t doesn't define who you are as a person and I can promise you there won't be a word on your gravestone about how much you worked or what vacation time you gave up. Plus, to companies, we're nothing more than a necessary evil. In other words, they don't give a damn about you or me. We're all disposable.
November 18th, 2011

You get less surprised to learn that workers are afraid to ask time off the more you learn about how much latitude employers have in firing employees. Seems we as a state don't want employers to even worry about the very thought of dealing with giving people time off if it inconveniences them. If you haven't met anyone that's been fired for a reason like asking off for the wrong time at the wrong time or when their boss just has the wrong mood, you probably need to meet more wage (non-salaried) workers.

I have a friend that is very scared to take any time off from work. She thinks that if she takes too much time (2 days) that when she returns to work she will have a 'pink slip' waiting for her. I told her many times that if someone is going to fire you they will fire you. If you are working or not. It doesn't matter. She is VERY scared to take ANY time off. I remember once she had a root canal and went to work THE VERY SAME DAY!! Is that NOT crazy, or what?

The work life balance in America is a JOKE! No wonder why 20% of adults are on some form of psych meds. I tuly believe a lot of the problem stems from the private industry who's sole concern is the bottom line. Resources, including ppl, aren't a main concern for a lot of these companies so burning right through them is just second nature to them. Also, the economy right now is just a bigger stick for them to use by saying if you're not going to do extra work (forget vacation) someone else out there will. Capitalism at it's finest. Do you ppl really enjoy spending the majoirty of your life working in an office with limited time to enjoy the world and your family? My dad has always worked harder than anyone I've ever met and his vacations consist of getting called in anyaway. I've vowed never to work like that, life is to short to be chasing dollar signs that you never get to fully enjoy anyway. I'm lucky enough to have a job that gives plenty of personal time. The pay may not be the best, but having a large amount of personal time is priceless!

If my company wants me at my best, then a vacation is in order every 3 months. I have to take time off. Why should I fee guilty? I deserve a break aside from the two days we get every 5. I think we should switch to a 4 day work week, I've been saying it for years. There needs to be some sort of balance. I carry over just enough time so that I can take off a week in each season. It is neccessary for my mental health.

Yes, healthcare companies are charging higher rates to supplement the additional workers "Obamacare" required them to hire (paperwork etc). You will also notice that plans previously exempt from deductibles are now requiring them. Generally, the middle class worker that "used to have" adequate benefits to survive is now paying more so that the poor populations can receive free health care.

Americans have this illusion of freedom…It's a myth…plain and simple. We just take this crap over and over…the oligarchs pay the lobbyists, politicians, ad agencies and buy commercial air time on TV and we continue to fall for it. We blame trade unions,made up of our fellow regular working citizens, for our "downfall"(Germany, France, and Korea all seem to be doing just fine with strong unions) and applaud the oligarchs for building vacation mansions on private islands saying that they "worked" hard for what they have…failing to recognize that they have it "all" because they have been stealing everything in sight little by little…including your earned vacation, retirement benefits, healthcare benefits. They'll get you to agree to retire at 80 and take no vacation as long as they continue to fool you into believing that if you give it all up for them…you might one day be like them. I'm glad I work for myself…I'm praying for all of you that are having to put up with this garbage.

My vacation time is part of my contractual compensation package, and I've never left a single day of it on the table. I work my butt off for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. That's what I get paid for, and that's what I do. If someone with their finger on the button doesn't like this arangement, I can't stop them from pressing that button. I don't worry about it, and I'm not changing a thing.

My company provides me with 5 weeks of personal time (vacation and sick days) each year. My immediate supervisor always tells people they need to take their time off. However, the VP of my department always finds a way to punish you if you take time off. Typically he will throw a lot of low level meaningless work at you when you come back knowing that after vacation you probably have a large amount of work to catch up on, and this will just put added pressure on you to "teach you a lesson" about taking time off. He's also the guy who says "we don't have a team, we have a department." Which basically says he's in charge and if you don't like it…then leave. A while back we had a "department" function and the VP asked me to carpool with him. So I assumed he would come and get me when it was time to go, instead he decided to ride with someone else and not tell me, leaving me behind. I was mad as hell and told him so the next day, he basically ignored me and then two hours later gave me a bunch of meaningless work to do as revenge for confronting him. All I can say is that employers who display this type of attitude towards hard working employees are going to get the short end of the stick when the economy does turn around. Good employees who have been treated badly, will almost certainly jump ship when the opportunity presents itself. The problem with corporate America is that most companies have short memories and they use the economy as a weapon to justify treating people in anyway they want. But be sure that employees do NOT have short memories and they will look for a better situation as soon as possible. It just kills me that there is no such thing as loyalty any more. I have worked for two companies for the last 21 years and faithfully come to work each day and do everything that is asked of me, plus some. Prior to the economy turning sour, I felt appreciated. Now I feel like if I'm gone to the bathroom for more than 5 minutes, my job is on the line. It's absolutely crazy.
November 18th, 2011

Mike, you're right. There is no such thing as loyalty anymore unless it's the company expecting loyalty from the employee.Of course, they are unwilling to show loyalty to the employee themselves.

I would not work very long at a company that punished you for using time off. I can completely understand needing to schedule longer blocks of time off far in advance but being scared to use all of your PTO is a strong signal that you need to be working elsewhere.
November 18th, 2011

My company is small, but growing and currently offers 17 paid days per year. It doesn't roll over or payout any unused days. Most people will use their time off (a day or two here and there) through out the year and many are smart enough to use those days around three day weekends, to strecth out the number of days they'll be out of the office, without using up their days too quickly. Then I have the people who hold on to their days for most of the year and then want to all be out of the office and take a chance to having their requests denied, because so many people are trying to take off around the holidays. I even have one person who, at this point in the year, still has not taken one day off. I've talked to her, HR has talked to her…she not afraid to take off – she's just afraid she is going to miss something.

Vacation is an earned benefit and agreement from the worker and the organization. If organizations do not want their workers taking vacation time, then remove them from the contractual agreement. The way I look at it, 'earn it, burn it!' That is my time earned and compensation earned for working.
November 18th, 2011
2:37 pm
Wow, reading through this makes me appreciate my job even more. Is it perfect? Absolutely not, what job is. But they don't have a problem with employees taking their days unless they abuse it (i.e. taking more days than allotted). Hopefully they won't make me regret saying this today lol. I usually try to carry a few days over every year regardless.
But I must say, my hubby has been working temporary jobs on/off since he got laid off a few years back, and I'm sure like many long term unemployed workers, he'd LOVE to have the problem of worrying about whether or not to take vacation days. All of us holding down jobs should be counting our blessings. Happy Thanksgiving all!
