Can something unsuccessful turn into good things?
Can something unsuccessful turn into good things?
Jul 14 2012: Yes. in my experience i've found that being unsuccessful means you tried. That is a success.Jul 12 2012: Antonio, In the world of science we conduct experiments to prove the hypothesis. The amount of experiments conducted varies but all experiments are fully documented and we learn from the unsuccessful experments. Each attempt drives us in the direction of desired results.
Successes and failures are both important. We need to know that achieving a goal is attainable through hard work and dedication to the process. Failures tells much about ourselves. Those who fail and quit ... those who fail and try and try again ... those who do not accept failure and learn and grow from the events until they adjust, adapt, and overcome the problems that stood in the way. These are character builders.
However, having an unsuccessful skydive does not lend itself to growing and learning.
All the best. Bob.Jul 12 2012: Its all in your prespective. If your orginal goal has failed, thus being unsuccessful, there is a good chance that another, unexpected outcome has occured. If you view it with the right mindset, you can easily turn that around into "good things."
I also strongly agree with Dejay's comment below. Failure allows for you to grow and learn, and honestly what is better than growing and learning?Jul 11 2012: To touch lightly upon to subject.
Something unsuccessful can instantly be a good thing, for you have learnt what NOT to do eh? :)Jul 11 2012: The answer to the question is yes. All it takes is serendipity and a little luck. So many failures have spurred successes. Think of the post-it note. The adhesive that makes a post-it stick to objects temporarily was considered a failure by it's creator as they were aiming to create a strong glue.
Instead, they created a weak glue. Total abject failure. However, by luck its potential was spotted and now those little multi-coloured sheets of paper dominate office desks across the globe.
Failure is only a chance to learn and improve. Often, if it can be looked at from a new perspective, a useful idea/product etc.
I have often taken what appears to be a failure and re-engineered it into something useful, you just need to take a holistic view and open your imagination to the possibilities.
Jul 11 2012: success can be received beyond your notice. or let's say ,success can be met but not be madeJul 15 2012: Trying and failing leads to knowledge which moves us forward and closer to the truth. Very few (if any) of us get it right all of the time. Many of the world's most innovative and productive people are those who fail at the same rate as everyone else, but they have the courage and determination to make more attempts than the average person. More attempts leads to more success.Jul 14 2012: WOW...so many great comments which I agree with...I LOVE it!!!
My own worldview, is that I feel labels to be limiting, therefore, I do not label anything "successful" or "unsuccessful".
I believe EVERYTHING is an opportunity to learn, grow and evolve, so with that in mind/heart all the time, each experience is a step toward the next step. To me, there are no failures for anyone...it is simply another part of the process of moving forward. As Robert insightfully says..."In the world of science we conduct experiments...the experiments conducted varies...documented...we learn...each attempt drives us in the direction of desired results".
I perceive all of the life adventure as an exploration, and in my mind and heart, there can be no "failures" when I am learning, growing and moving toward a desired result:>)Jul 11 2012: Unsuccessful does not equal bad.
Jul 12 2012: does successful equal good?
Jul 12 2012: It depends on what was being attempted. If it was desecration of a National Treasure, success was not good. If it was keeping a National Treasure safe from vandalism, success equals good.
Jul 13 2012: I agree, every love that ever fails sets the ground work for the one that succeedds but then Edward has been married since 1969 and his success encourages me!Jul 11 2012: You might want to do an internet search for "learning from failure," or something like that. This topic is a giant favorite on the web, almost as if the concept were newly discovered.
Jul 11 2012: thanks for your reply. i have not noticed a similar topic was discussed on the web until you told me.
in light of my quick thought,one can turn something unsuccessful, such as poverty, into great personal success and contributions to the society as long as he could grow up from the obstacles and keep a courageous heart.
Jul 11 2012: Antonio, I though you meant unsuccessful in the sense of making a mistake. Poverty is often not your own mistake. For example, children born into poverty made no mistake that got them there.
In terms of what I now understand that you meant, history is full of cases of people who have overcome adversity to find interesting lives and to contribute to the happiness of others.
If you actually find yourself unsuccessful due to something you tried and failed to achieve, there are likely lessons to be learned that have value in knowledge but also value in helping you find a better path.

Fun and chraming birth announcement
I had told my daughter I would take care of her birth announcements, since she'd be so busy with her newborn and the holidays were approaching. I searched for something unique online and found MagnetStreet, and decided on this small card that is actually magnetic. It was easy to upload a photo (we chose one with the newborn in a Santa hat) and then play around with the all of the colors and fonts, until we landed on a combination that "popped". The product was in my hands 5 days after I ordered them! The magnet is substantial - a good thickness, not flimsy at all. The cost was reasonable, especially in the larger quantities we needed. They are darling and I know my granddaughter's likeness will be stuck on lots of refrigerator doors and bring joy to family this Christmas!
Excellent Quality
I would highly recommend MagnetStreet. The process was easy and my order arrived in reasonable time. I love the fact that I could personalize everything from the wording, to color and font, because I'm somewhat of a perfectionist. Our birth announcement turned out so adorable, and people really loved them. It's nice to go to people's houses and see the magnet still on somebody's fridge rather than a paper card that gets stored somewhere after being displayed for only a month or so.

I finaly got 50 hrs on the air compressor part of my Air Pak.
Time for the first oil change, the next is 500hrs later. I did not reset my hour meter so that at 500 hrs I will change the oil again. The oil will only have 450 hrs, but from now on the time will be exact.
First, the book says 1.75 qts Mobil 1 synthetic ATF. Napa did not stock that oil.
O' Reillys did not stock that oil.
I finaly got it from the distributer.
I open the hood of the welder, drop the oil, change the filters, and add the 1.75Qts of ATF, and it shows low on the stick.
Then I see a decal under the hood that says 2.6Qts, that fills it up.
So to recap buy 3 qts instead of 2 and start looking for the oil early (45hrs or so).
Good Luck,

I often say that many companies are software or technology companies, but they just don't know it. This crisis of identity causes them a lot of trouble. Simply stated, those who got their management stripes in a none-complex environment will struggle in, and of course hinder, a software development project. Continue reading
Our Industrial Education
Another good one from Ken Robinson. We labour at work and school under the ideas of long dead Victorians...
Authoritarian vs. Democratic Leadership
One thing we see throughout the finance industry is the success of the authoritarian leader. Why, since authoritarianism is frowned upon, does it pervade as a model for management? To understand this, we need to, I think, take the judgement out of the question and simply ask:
Why does the authoritarian manager succeed in the finance industry?
First Things First
I must study politics and war, that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain.
John Adams
I have seen managers and leaders in companies grow frustrated and even desperate at the lack of cooperation they got from the people who worked for them. I came to realise two things:
- The managers and leaders often had lofty needs, to do with legacies, creating centres of excellence, gaining the respect of their peers, etc.
- That the people working for such managers and leaders often had much more basic needs, to do with safety, systems that worked properly and continued employment.
That Pesky Industrial Mindset
This is a really funny RSA video but also tremendously sad. To us at Ugly Duckling, it is clear that the industrial mindset, with its standardisation, batch thinking, etc., eats at our very souls. I had not stopped, not really, to think that it eats at the souls of our children, too.
Compelling stuff this. Make you angry? I do hope so.
Occam's Razor
Occam said that when you have two competing hypothesis, one should always choose the one with the fewest assumptions.
Today, then, when Facebook and other social media sites exploded with footage of a UFO over the protests in Brazil, we are confronted with (at least) two competing theories:
- The object was a UFO.
- The object was a surveillance drone.
Occam would tell us that the assumption that aliens exists is too great and it would be more rational to go with other theory, and this is especially true when we consider the evidence; Governments do sometimes survey their people but aliens have never landed.
This UFO story did get me thinking because during times of organisational change, which I am often right in the middle of, suspicions run high. Those at the top suppose a grass-roots conspiracy. Those at the bottom suspect a despotic leader. Occam would say, there is no great conspiracy, nor is there a despot, since the evidence doesn't point to either. Rather, Occam would tell us that change is continually frustrated by foot-dragging, quiet sabotage, communications failures and of course stupidity.* **
In my experience of change, this is mainly right.
* I am shamelessly paraphrasing MacGregor Burns here, from his book, Leadership.
** I point no fingers here, I am not immune to bouts of stupidity.
The UFO
Fixes That Fail - The Great Housing Benefit Cock Up
In March I tried to explain on this blog how an attempt to cut costs can actually, and often does, increase them. In regards to the housing benefit cuts in the UK, I, like many others, said that the policy of moving people from one to two bedroom houses would fail because 1) there aren't many one bedroom houses and 2) if there were not enough council houses, families would be moved to the private sector, which is more expensive.
Today the Observer reported that this is indeed what his happening. In Systems Thinking this is called a fix that fails.
You can read the article here: 'Costs soar for wealthy councils as benefit cuts force families to quit homes', Guardian Online, accessed on the 8th of June, 2013.
Lessons from History; Taylor and Shifting Responsibilities
In 1912, in a testimony to the House of Representatives Committee, Frederick Taylor said that the new, scientific way of management, brought new burdens and duties that
are so unusual and so great that they are to the men used to managing under the old school almost inconceivable.
The four new duties were: gathering knowledge of the work carried out; studying the nature and characteristics of the workmen; bringing the scientifically trained workmen together; and finally, sharing the work that used to be carried out solely by the workmen. Of this last duty, Taylor said,
First, the workman does something, and then a man on the management's side does something, and then the workman does something; and under this intimate, close, personal cooperation between the two sides it becomes practically impossible to have a serious quarrel.
Fast forward one hundred and one years and we find managers looking for a new way of working. They see, for example, other companies with great results. That, they think, is what we want. However, great results come from a new system of management and a new system of management brings new burdens and duties. (Like Taylor's managers, ours, too, must understand the worker. And like Taylor's managers, ours, too, must work in such a close manner that serious quarrels are close to impossible, or at least the cancerous un-spoken conflicts that typify our technical age are close to impossible.)
In my experience, many managers want their teams or companies to become high, or at least better, performers, but most don't grasp that this requires a change in duties. Hope lies, however, in the fact that when confronted with this, many managers are able to accept these new duties. Some, of course, see the price of better performance as too high - you can't blame them for that, and in some cases they may very well be right.
The Scientific Method with Feynman
This is an excellent video, given by a hero of mine, Richard Feynman, explaining why guessing is indeed scientific and key to the scientific method. In truth, you don't really understand lean (or agile) unless you really understand the scientific method.
How You Perceive PDSA Will Dicate How You Succeed With It
The Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle lies at the heart of lean thinking. It arose from a need to systematically solve problems and make sure that once solved they would not arise again. I.e. PDSA is a way to make a system wide improvement.
Rooted in the scientific method, PDSA acknowledges that adults learn best by doing, and thus it encourages experimentation. The cycle is simple enough: we plan some work (which is actually a hypothesis); we do some work (run the experiment); we study the results (where we learn about the system we are experimenting against); and finally we take actions, making sure, for example, that if we've improved the system, we do not regress to a previous, dysfunctional state.

What was the darkest depression in your life and what have you learned from it?( i admire your courage )
I know that from tragedy has come a lot of happiness.
I know that no trees can stretch its branches in the heaven before its roots in the hell.
I guess i am young and not experienced,of course i have been through difficulties and struggles,but they are just small ones.
I would love to see someone share his/her experience with me,i am always perpared to listen.
And remember,everyone has his own depression,you are not alone.
I appreciate your participation,one really needs courage to talk about this.
Oct 1 2013: I would say I'm in the darkest depression of my life right now, I've been dealing with it for really as long as I can remember. I avoided the truth for a long time, honestly my story is extremely similar to Kevin's. I tried to hide in plain sight through most of high school, seemingly happy on the outside for the benefit of others I guess, when in reality I was drifting away further and further with each day. Went to Olemiss my freshmen year, did the fraternity thing, did the party thing, have a bunch of friends loved the school, but something was off and long story short, everything I had been holding back came up at once, I ended up in court ordered 72hr suicide watch in bum**** MS. I had everything I had wanted, I knew it was weird I felt no joy or happiness, but I chose to ignore it because I don't understand it and I was afraid to let anyone find out.
It's been almost a year since I was pulled out of school and I'm no better if not worse, but in all of the group therapy, and doctors and drugs and whatever else they could. After all that I have discovered two things
1. Couldn't have said it better then kevin did: depression is so very different from sadness or laziness or all the things that most people think of, I URGE anyone who thinks they may be feeling that way, (and believe me when you experience it you will know, there's no confusing it with the "I've been having some bad luck lately".). Anyway I urge you to please do not hesitate at all to reach out too someone., and try to head it off before you fall into the infinite pit that is complete and total apathy.
2. I went to group therapy for awhile, which at first I was so against, but I know recommend. when I first went I was afraid that the " demons " that haunted me wernt anywhere near as significant as some of the people I would meet. Which brings me to the second thing I have learned in this long road.
No matter whether your starving kid from the street or a wealthy person EVRY1 is =
Oct 1 2013: Brentley,i appreciate your sincere words.And I can definitely identify with you.
Remember,don't be shameful for depression and vulnerability,they are just another way of showing COURAGE. And then it becomes easier:When there is a will,there is a way.
Do you feel better right now?
Best wishes.:)
Oct 2 2013: i wish! I think the biggest problem with me at this stage is ive lost the will to fight, there is a video on here that describes almost exactly what i feel like right now.
kevin breel: confessions of a depressed comic.
if you have a chance to check it out, the part where he talks about, the overwhelming apathy, and losing the will to fight it. that would help explain my situation.
Oct 3 2013: My question actually came from the talk you mentioned.
I believe Kevin in the talk do not suffer from depression right now.
I think what he is trying to express is not focused on the depression part.It's more than the negative that you are suffering from the depression,it's the positive that you understand the value of it.Bucause that's what life is all about:you suffer and you grow.
Happiness depends on perspectives.Change your mind a little bit,you don't have to pursuit those "greatest" happiese,sometimes even tiny little change can make us smile.
I strongly recommend a book to you,it's called "Tuesdays with Morrie".It talks about death and love and much much more.
Here are some quotes:
When you learn how to die, you learn how to live
Their wealth did not buy them happiness or contentment.
Everyone knows they will die, but no one through it all.
Compared to death,depression really doesn't matter.
I believe you will finally defeat the depression someday.Maybe not right now,but definitely someday in the future:)Hopefully my words can make a difference.
Nadav Tropp
Sep 30 2013: My military service qualified. Easily the most miserable time of my life.
- +3
Made me either extremely irritable or extremely apathetic (and switching at the drop of a hat), alongside enough stress, shifts and straight up physical pain to keep me at an average of three or four hours of sleep per night. Didn't take long for my health to suffer, which in turn deteriorated my mental state, resulting in something of a feedback loop.
The funny thing is I was actually a model soldier before it started getting to me. Gradually, I just stopped caring and started picking fights instead.
Didn't seem to have much of a long lasting impact though. I got better the moment I was discharged. I'm quite lucky in that sense, that my depression came from a solvable cause rather than a more deep seated psychological issue.
Taught me how to appreciate the little things in life that most people take for granted. Like being able to sleep at night, not having anyone try to kill you, and not having an organization own you and treat you as if you were their guard dog.
Oct 1 2013: Nadav,you make me feel like your miserable time was a treasure after reading your story.
Others may say "i understand you"or things like that.
But only you knows how it felt like,it was your own experience and others can never steal it from you.Only yourself knows how this experience hurt you,and moreover,gain you.
It's like no trees can stretch its branches in the heaven before its roots in the hell.
The miseries introduces you new angles to look at the happiness and joy.As you've said"Taught me how to appreciate the little things in life that most people take for granted. It teaches gratitude.:)Oct 1 2013: - ran out of words, I was gonna say no ones problems trump yours, and yours Arnt more important. THE pain and feelings are the same either way.
Sorry this is sloppy hope y'all understand what I was trying to get across.
I'm real tired but I didn't work up the nerve to post something until 4am go figureOct 10 2013: I know exactly what he means when he says real depression is when you are engulfed by that heaviness when things are going well in life. I feel so much pressure to be my extroverted, joyful side every single day at work & with my friends. Underneath it all is this darkness that won't go away and I have such a hard time letting down my walls and showing people the vulnerability. It makes me so angry and despairing. Especially because it doesn't seem to be socially acceptable to be an angry woman.
However, I've learned to cope and am continually understanding ways to let it out in a healthy manner. But it doesn't always happen that way. Kevin Breel's talk was inspiring because it helped to hear someone who experiences life similarly.Oct 8 2013: I agree that there are people like the Kevin Breel, whose life is going well for them, yet they are still very depressed. But I think there is also a depression that comes from being stuck in a very bad place in life. I think I learnt about both depressions and I don't think they are any less or worse. I just feel I learn that in some really bad situations you have to try and get out of them if you can and depression can be a sign from your body to get out. I also think I learnt that there are other challenges and solutions to depression regardless of your situation.
I think I also learn that in very low points in your life, it's easy to underestimate how easily your mind can trick you and take the hope from you, make you feel as if nothing will ever change. I think I learnt at some points you have to ignore your body and take a step back, and focus on resting and recovering before you make any big decisions (and that not taking action itself is a big decision and should be considered as such).
I guess I'm having a very bad few days and a very severe pang of depression tonight specifically, I wanted to vent moreso for me than anyone, if anyone could take something positive out of this, that would be great
Thanks (2/2)
Oct 12 2013: " I think I learnt at some points you have to ignore your body and take a step back, and focus on resting and recovering before you make any big decisions (and that not taking action itself is a big decision and should be considered as such)." So true ,Alex. Sometimes we are so busy that we almost forget ourself. We don't have time to be another person ,we just need to be ourself,and slow down is a good choice.Oct 8 2013: My worst of depression was through university (4 years) , it's still a bit soon for now and I'm not 100% sure it taught me anything. It it's pretty simple really what happened, I was working my ass off in school and still struggling, not enjoying my life. It started with my feelings begin to numb (I had several kinda breakdowns before but didn't know what it was). It eventually moved to not being able to not being able to get up in the morning, losing almost all joy in my life of any activity and breaking down to tears on a regular basis. I guess I also after time started to act crazy and not-rational, not being able to sleep for days on end. I was also starting to feel like there was no way out and getting many suicidal thoughts, eventually trying to take my life. It maybe got a little bit better in the last year, I still get severe bouts of depression and would still also classify myself as depressed (though I wouldn't have the gut to admit it). Maybe this sounds melodramatic but it occurred at such a pivotal point in my life and negatively affected so much of my life to come I don't think I will ever truly be rid of depression or truly get over the experience no matter what.
I think it taught me mostly that my mind and body are physically limited andI can't just redline it for years without severe repercussion. I also believe it taught me that can't stay stuck in a bad situation if I can find a way out, no matter how hard, it's not worth sticking in that situation long term and it can lead to severe mental problems with enough time. (1/2)Oct 1 2013: Struggling with the "why's" in life. Why does my education matter? Why does succeeding make a difference if all my success is at the cost of others? Why am I deemed inadequate for some people? Why are other people deemed inadequate? Why is the richest person more respected than the one who is truly happy? I could go on and on. I entered the worst moments of my life attempting to solve these questions after some particular tragedy.
Oct 1 2013: Whether you figured it out or not,at least you have tried.
Life is always like this:
You struggle,and you grow.
And you struggle,and you grow.
And you struggle,and you grow.Sep 30 2013: i learned from my depression the flexibility with myself ,it's come only from it ;and the flexibility without intolerance to my hate give me the honour that i live and i feel in my life ,it's close to the perfection when i feel it,it's a teacher of weakness when i think about it. it's the inevitablity nature of us or the inevitable good free will we have what can free it from hate of fatality to the ethics.Sep 30 2013: i spent a few years being anxious and depressed. it seemed to be just a part of me. pills from the Dr only made things worse.
turned out, it was my job. i loathed my job and the minute i quit and did something else, my life got better.
look for the triggers and then eliminate them.
Oct 1 2013: You mean you found something you really loved later on?
Oct 1 2013: it was listening to the album Dark Side Of The Moon that motivated me to quit my job.
to begin with, I didn't know what the hell I was going to do - I spent a year back at school doing Media Studies, then I moved towns and picked up some retail jobs.
The best thing I did was start a band which is still going strong 13 years later. Rock n Roll is the perfect job for many people in modern society - the sort of people that are driven, quite literally, insane by regular 9 to 5 jobs and life :)
Oct 2 2013: Researchers say that an average of American change jobs 4 times before they settle down.
You are a New zealander.Apparently you also gone through the journey of finding the job you really loved.
I am a Chinese,still a student.I don't know how many times i will change my job until i find my loved one,or not.The only thing i know is that there will definitely be a lot of pressure when it comes to my turn.
You are lucky,Scott.Not everyone can view their job as a passion,a motivation.In fact,few people can.
A quote by Steven Jobs came into my mind just now:"Find what you love.If you haven't find it,keep finding,don't settle."
His persistence made him stands out,i guess.
I am still wondering if i will stick to this,for so competitive a society i am in.Oct 2 2013: i've had a bout 14 jobs. i do not believe happiness is found in doing a job. in fact, i found it hard to do any job that clashed in any way with how i see myself.
it hasn't been luck at all - i refused to carry on with a perfectly good job because i knew it was doing me in so i dropped out. i quit. all the things society growls about.
it's also taken 13 years of keeping it going - holding together a group of guys, playing mary hopkins numbers in wine bars and pushing through all the times when it feels like i made one hell of a bad choice.
i am not rich and i am not famous but that stuff doesn't matter. i get to be me.
it does not just happen but it will if you work at it.Oct 1 2013: Maybe depression is too strong In fact, it is. My most down times have been when jobs didn't work out.

Alabama 3 are a British band mixing rock, dance, blues, country, and gospel styles, founded in Brixton, London, in 1995. In the United States, they are known as A3, allegedly to avoid any possible legal conflict with the country music band Alabama. The group achieved international fame when the producers of hit TV series The Sopranos chose their track "Woke Up This Morning" for the show's opening credits. The band are particularly notable for their fusion of styles, lyrics full of ironic intent, their deliberately humorous personas, and their outrageous live performances. Every member of the group has an alias by which he is known, the band's founding members adopting the personas Larry Love (Rob Spragg) and The Very Reverend Dr. D. Wayne Love (Jake Black).

An eviction crisis of a different sort has hit San Francisco, as one by one, recycling centers are closing across the city. Supervisor Eric Mar today called for a hearing on recycling center closures, to measure the impact on the city's poor and its zero waste policies.
"I've heard from many of our residents that (the closures) will have severe impact on the low and no income members of our community," Mar said at today's Board of Supervisors meeting. "Many are immigrants who rely on this stream of income."
The hearing was spurred by the announcement of the upcoming closure of a recycling center at the Market and Church street Safeway. But the problem is deeper than just one facility.
Since the closure of the Haight Ashbury Neighborhood Council's recycling center [1] by Kezar stadium, four other recycling facilities in the northern half of San Francisco have closed or announced their closure. A sea of NIMBY neighbors are making war not on poverty, but the impoverished, as gentrifying neighborhoods chafe against rubbing shoulders with the downtrodden and homeless who trade in cans and bottles to make a meager living (many of whom we've profiled before [2]).
Sup. Mar's office is partnering with the Coalition on Homelessness to see just how those low-income communities are affected. Coalition on Homelessness Executive Director Jennifer Friedenbach said many poor and lower-middle income earners depend on recycling centers for extra income.
"Pretty much all impoverished people recycle (at these centers)," she told the Guardian. "It's a class delineator. You don't recycle? You must be rich."
And it's those monied few, like that Haight Ashbury Improvement Association (who pushed out the HANC recycling center) who cry out against their existence [3].
San Francisco Chronicle columnist C. W. Nevius likes to poke at the poor by playing up the arguments of the "improvement associations" and other neighborhood groups that are calling for the recycling centers' ouster. In his latest piece just last Saturday, Nevius lambasted the ills of the recycling "criminal enterprise."
From his article [4]: "What the closure will do is make it more difficult for the large-scale scavengers, who have turned theft of recyclables into a criminal enterprise. They cruise the streets at night and loot the curbside recycling bins. Some even pay homeless individuals a small sum to raid the bins and collect bottles and cans for them."
Thanks @cwnevius [5] , good to know the poor and suffering are now officially a "public nuisance." #SanFrancisco [6] pic.twitter.com/uR3laNetuZ [7]
— Joe Fitz Rodriguez (@FitzTheReporter) January 11, 2014 [8]
It's an open secret in San Francisco that many recycling scavengers in the city raid blue bins meant for Recology in search of cans and bottles. But the idea of the closure of the Market street Safeway recycling center spelling an end to their black market presence is perhaps a bit extreme.
Friedenbach agreed that Nevius' theory makes little sense.
"Actually the close of these recycling centers has shown a dramatic increase in secondary recyclers," Friedenbach said. "These people don't have a place to recycle, and are forced to sell them at a cut rate to people in trucks."
Those trucks driving around with ill-gotten hauls of recycling? They may increase without the presence of all those recycling centers -- because they're competitors. In addition, closing the the centers outright may not even now be as necessary as new regulations from the state, via CalRecycle, limit the amount of recyclables processing centers can take at any one time.
"January 1 there was a reduction in the daily load limit," Marc Oldfield, communications director at CalRecycle told us. The previous limit of 500 pounds of aluminum or plastic was reduced to 100 pounds, closer to the average CalRecycle found most customers brought in. Oldfield was cagey about how his phrasing, but implied the new limits were meant to curtail the recycling black market.
"That could potentially affect the 'business material' coming in," he said.
Closing recycling centers has deleterious effects on businesses as well [9]: when they close, state law mandates that local shops pick up the slack. Mom and pop liquor stores, grocery stores, and most shops that sell cans and bottles would be required to buy-back cans and bottles (like a recycling center) or pay a $100 a day fee. That's upwards of $35,000 a year.
The small business commission was so worried about the impact on independent store owners that they started an outreach program to educate them on their options just last year, which we've covered before.
But you know, at least people in the neighborhood won't have to be subjected to poor people. That's what matters, right?

Federal budget cuts continue to take their toll on Bethesda defense giant Lockheed Martin, as executives said Thursday they will cut 4,000 jobs by mid-2015.
The majority of reductions is expected to occur outside the Montgomery County-Washington, D.C., region. But there could be some "minor impact" locally, said Larisa Cioaca, a Lockheed spokeswoman.
"We have no additional specifics to share at this time," Cioaca said.
Lockheed — Montgomery County's and Maryland's largest company by revenue with $47.2 billion in sales last year — plans to close facilities in Newtown, Pa.; Akron, Ohio; Goodyear, Ariz.; and Horizon City, Texas; along with four buildings in Sunnyvale, Calif. Those closures will result in about 2,000 fewer positions by mid-2015, CEO Marillyn Hewson said in a memo to employees.
An additional 2,000 jobs will be trimmed companywide from the Gaithersburg-based information systems and global solutions unit, the District-based mission system and training segment and the Denver-based space systems division. Those cuts are expected by the end of 2014.
The Denver operations should actually see 350 more jobs in a combination of transfers and new hires.
Hewson cited "an increasingly complex global security environment with rapidly shrinking budgets" in her memo. Lockheed's customers "are expecting us to help them stay ahead of the threats by delivering innovative products and systems at the most affordable cost," she said.
The federal government implemented across the board sequester budget cuts this year, and more spending reductions are expected next year.
Since late 2008, Lockheed has reduced facility space by 1.5 million square feet and slashed its worldwide workforce from 146,000 employees to 116,000 workers. The planned cuts will further reduce real estate by about 2.5 million square feet.
Lockheed had 5,200 employees in Montgomery County and 8,000 in Maryland as of late last year, according to Maryland DBED surveys. Lockheed was Montgomery's third-largest private employer last year, with Adventist HealthCare and Marriott International having a few hundred more employees.
Despite the loss of employees in the past five years, Lockheed's revenue increased by 15 percent in that time.
In fiscal 2012, Lockheed was the government's largest single contractor with $37 billion in contract dollars obligated to the company, according to federal figures. Lockheed received about 82 percent of its revenue last year from the U.S. government, including 61 percent from the Department of Defense, according to its 2013 annual report. Some 17 percent came from international customers and 1 percent from private and other clients.

Risk Assessment
Planning a Human Health Risk Assessment
Planning - There is a need to make judgments early when planning major risk assessments regarding the purpose, scope, and technical approaches that will be used. To simplify our discussion of planning the following structure focuses on human health risk assessment.
Risk assessors will typically ask the following questions when planning a human health risk assessment:
Who/What/Where is at risk?
- Individual
- General population
- Lifestages such as children, teenagers, pregnant/nursing women
- Population subgroups - highly susceptible (for example, due to asthma, genetics, etc.) and/or highly exposed (for example, based on geographic area, gender, racial or ethnic group, or economic status)
What is the environmental hazard of concern?
- Chemicals (single or multiple/cumulative risk)
- Radiation
- Physical (dust, heat)
- Microbiological or biological
- Nutritional (for example, diet, fitness, or metabolic state)
- Socio-Economic ( for example, access to health care)
Where do these environmental hazards come from?
- Point sources (for example, smoke or water discharge from a factory; contamination from a Superfund site)
- Non-point sources (for example, automobile exhaust; agricultural runoff)
- Natural sources
How does exposure occur?
- Pathways (recognizing that one or more may be involved)
- Air
- Surface Water
- Groundwater
- Soil
- Solid Waste
- Food
- Non-food consumer products, pharmaceuticals
- Routes (and related human activities that lead to exposure)
- Ingestion (both food and water)
- Contact with skin
- Inhalation
- Non-dietary ingestion (for example, "hand-to-mouth" behavior)
What does the body do with the environmental hazard and how is this impacted by factors such as age, race, sex, genetics, etc.?)
- Absorption - does the body take up the environmental hazard
- Distribution - does the environmental hazard travel throughout the body or does it stay in one place?
- Metabolism - does the body breakdown the environmental hazard?
- Excretion - how does the body get rid of it?
What are the health effects?
- Example of some health effects include cancer, heart disease, liver disease and nerve disease.
How long does it take for an environmental hazard to cause a toxic effect? Does it matter when in a lifetime exposure occurs?
- How long?
- Acute - right away or within a few hours to a day
- Subchronic - weeks or months (for humans generally less than 10% of their lifespan)
- Chronic - a significant part of a lifetime or a lifetime (for humans at least seven years)
- Intermittent
- Timing
Is there a critical time during a lifetime when a chemical is most toxic (e.g., fetal development, childhood, during aging)?

According to the NFL, the Miami Dolphins will have to play all 16 games on their schedule, regardless of many fans and media believing that at least most games should be forfeited.
This is great news to fans in Houston, Oakland, NY, Arizona, Cinci, St Louis, Indy, Tenn, Buff, NE, Seattle, SF, and Jax. They all have the game vs Miami as a win, and would prefer watching the win, and being able to RIP the Dolphins team.
What do Phans think of this?

Creating a Club Culture
"We are excited to see the new changes in the Girls Youth Division that Russell Finch is implementing - like Girl of the Game, Game of the Week… to name a few. Our daughter attended her first Game of the Week last Friday night, which was awesome! Now more than ever, it is important for girls to belong to a club that realizes the importance of creating an environment where girls support each other regardless of age, team, level of play, or their individual goals. Kudos to Russell and Colorado Rush for continuing to promote an atmosphere where girls can train, get better, have fun and share their love of the game of soccer. Russell's efforts are priceless and I know they will help to ensure that the Colorado Rush girls will continue to have a fun soccer experience like no other." - Kim and Peter Wackman, parents of Emma W (GU10 ANGELI)
Check out the photo of GU15 ECNL player Aspen Headrick who drove across town with her father to support the GU10 ANGELI team in their game Saturday afternoon.
All the Girls Youth Division teams played well with an overall record of 6-2-2 and appreciate the support they got over the course of the weekend from their traveling fans. GU9 RUSH ANGELI won the gold division and bumped to #1 in the state. Congrats to all the teams!

Why are talk radio listeners always angry?
Can you guys get some new material?
Why are talk radio listeners always angry?
Can you guys get some new material?
Are you willing to give up some of your privacy by allowing a computer to record the patterns of your international phone calls, realizing the potential for abuse, in order not to have some doctrinaire a-hole, for example, fly another airliner into another building?
Record away as far as I'm concerned. The courts seem to think that the Fourth Amendment issues are at least fairly debatable:
@Death Star - Those that listen to talk radio are often (not always) angry because we know what's going on out there. It's not the drivel spoon fed to us by the MMM or the cutesy infotainment that some deem news as found on the Daily Show. The radio show hosts actually delve deeper in the issues than one can ever hope to get from supposed "real" journalists that work for the networks. Unfortunately, what we find out about our various elected officials is often disgusting and the legislation they pass is equally garbage usually resulting in more taxes and a more bloated government that protects the interests of the few.
As for just giving the government the means to do whatever it wants as long as the ends justify the means, I have a quote for you from one of our famous forefathers.
"He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither." - Benjamin Franklin
There is a reason we have a Constitution. It's not just some old document to studied in history classes, but it protects the citizens of this country from tyrannical rule and abuse from those that govern us. There is a reason that we have a president and not a king or a dictator. So I say no to just giving upour privacy. Maybe you would like to revisit the whole SOPA thing or maybe and implement a killswitch on your internet (ala Iran) or you like drones flying above your head, but I don't. I am not a prisoner/criminal and nor should I be treated like one. It's laziness on the part of the government to not do a better job tracking down those that are truly a threat to this country rather than collecting info on everyone.
As far as the whole Bush started it... finger pointing crap. I like this guy's response of BurtonM in the comments section from the National Post article on the subject:
"It is true the program started under Bush but at that time it was limited to suspected individuals and the secret court (FISC) warranted each case.
Obama has expanded the program into a dragnet, basically just collecting everything without warrants, analyzing it and storing it at massive data centers to use in case of future terrorist threats emerge (or against groups that oppose him like the tea party)
bush was no conservative he was a RINO but he was nowhere near as tyrannical as Obama has become."
That's my two cents.
I wonder if the government can see DS fapping himself to his Obama poster?

Here's an article from 2005:
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/16/po...gram.html?_r=0WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 - Months after the Sept. 11 attacks, President Bush secretly authorized the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on Americans and others inside the United States to search for evidence of terrorist activity without the court-approved warrants ordinarily required for domestic spying, according to government officials.
Under a presidential order signed in 2002, the intelligence agency has monitored the international telephone calls and international e-mail messages of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people inside the United States without warrants over the past three years in an effort to track possible "dirty numbers" linked to Al Qaeda, the officials said. The agency, they said, still seeks warrants to monitor entirely domestic communications.
The previously undisclosed decision to permit some eavesdropping inside the country without court approval was a major shift in American intelligence-gathering practices, particularly for the National Security Agency, whose mission is to spy on communications abroad. As a result, some officials familiar with the continuing operation have questioned whether the surveillance has stretched, if not crossed, constitutional limits on legal searches.
"This is really a sea change," said a former senior official who specializes in national security law. "It's almost a mainstay of this country that the N.S.A. only does foreign searches."
Nearly a dozen current and former officials, who were granted anonymity because of the classified nature of the program, discussed it with reporters for The New York Times because of their concerns about the operation's legality and oversight.
According to those officials and others, reservations about aspects of the program have also been expressed by Senator John D. Rockefeller IV, the West Virginia Democrat who is the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and a judge presiding over a secret court that oversees intelligence matters. Some of the questions about the agency's new powers led the administration to temporarily suspend the operation last year and impose more restrictions, the officials said.
The Bush administration views the operation as necessary so that the agency can move quickly to monitor communications that may disclose threats to the United States, the officials said. Defenders of the program say it has been a critical tool in helping disrupt terrorist plots and prevent attacks inside the United States.
ITT, people who want to bash Obama for this & at the same time not feel like an idiot for voting for Bush twice.
I'm no Obama fan & I'm I've been talking about this NSA thing for months now, but I can't stand the partisan hackery being displayed here.
Further, despite all this 'collecting data', eves dropping etc there still will be terrorist attacks (see Boston). This whole notion "give up some or all of your privacy for safety" is nothing but a scape goat for 'control'. Only the weak and scared fools fall for it.

I have a question for those who do not mind PRISM...
The Xbox One (the next entertainment system from Microsoft, the NSA's first partner in this PRISM deal) comes installed with an "always on" feature and the Kinect, which is essentially a video camera and sensor that receives visual, audio and kinetic data from everything going on in the room. The "always on" feature requires that the xbox MUST be connected to the internet in order to function. If you go more than 24 hours without it being connected, you cannot play games on it or do anything else with it.
Now just imagine what kind of data the NSA could pick up with software and hardware like this. They essentially have a live stream into your living room. Would you be OK with THAT level of privacy intrusion?
Don't be naive, they WILL collect this kind of data if it is available.

So if the Giants called and offered you Manning for Moore, would you ask the Giants to also throw in a draft choice in order for you to consider it?
If your answer is yes you lose the right to bash Ireland.
I don't care if it's 1 game, 9 games or their career. Manning is the better qb.
These thread responses are another perfect example of everyone over reacting and jumping to conclusions. The OP never said anything about Moore being as good or better than Eli. He is just posting some stats that he saw. That doesn't mean he has a hidden agenda that Moore is god. His only point is that Moore deserves a little more credit, and he's right. Calm down everyone and just take the stats for what they are......stats that show Moore played pretty well
Garbage players like Moore always shine in garbage time.

The outer ring acts as the shutter release, and can be operated with your finger from above or below.

SD Speed Class 6 or higher memory cards are recommended for shooting movies. Continuous Shooting Mode: You can use the continuous shooting mode to shoot successive frames while the shutter ring is fully pressed. You can shoot continuously at approximately 2.3 images per second. Shooting Range: The camera has a shooting range of 0.4" (1cm) to infinity at maximum wide angle and 3.3' (1m) to infinity at maximum telephoto. Shooting Modes: You can switch between the following shooting modes: Auto, Hybrid Auto, P (Program), Creative Shot, Fisheye Effect, Miniature Effect, Toy Camera Effect, Soft Focus, Monochrome, and Super Slow Motion Movie. Metering Modes: You can select from the following metering modes: Evaluative Light Metering: used for standard conditions. The area within the frame is divided into several zones and light is measured based on subject position, brightness, direct light and backlighting. Center-Weighted Averaging: averages the exposure from the entire image, but places more weight on the subject at the center Spot: meters the area within the spot AE point at the center of the LCD monitor or viewfinder Exposure Compensation: If you are shooting against a bright background or strong backlight, you may need to correct the exposure so that the subject doesn't come out too dark. You can set the adjustments from -2 to +2 in 1/3-step increments. White Balance: You can choose from the following white balance settings: Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent, and Fluorescent H. Flash Modes: The PowerShot N has a built-in flash with a range of 1.6' to 3.0' at maximum Wide Angle. You can select Auto (flash fires in low light), On (flash always fires), Slow Synchro, or Off (flash doesn't fire). In the menu, you can apply Red-Eye Correction to the images that have been taken. ISO Speed: The ISO speed can be set Automatically (ISO Auto), or manually to ISO 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, and 6400. Lowering the ISO speed results in sharper images but there's a greater chance of subject or image blurring in certain shooting conditions. Raising the ISO speed results in a faster shutter speed, reducing blurred images. The images, however, will appear more coarse. Self-Timer: The PowerShot N utilizes a 10-second and 2-second self-timer to allow the photographer to be included in the shot, or to avoid camera shake when using a tripod. Playback, Editing and Print Functions Slide Show: Images stored on a memory card can automatically be displayed one-by-one using the Slide Show function. Each image is displayed for about three seconds. Index Display: You can quickly find an image by displaying multiple images in an index on the LCD screen. Using a pinching motion on the capacitive touchscreen monitor, you can pinch outward to view more thumbnails (4 to 100). To reduce the number of thumbnail images, an inward pinching motion is used. You can also use the zoom ring to increase or decrease the number of images displayed. Magnifying Images: Using the zoom ring or an outward pinching motion, you can magnify a photo from up to 10x. Once zoomed in, you can use a dragging motion with your finger to move around the displayed area. You can also double-tap the screen to increase the magnification by approximately 3x. Another double-tap returns the display to the full-size image. PictBridge: Using the supplied USB cable, you can connect this camera directly to a PictBridge-compatible printer of any brand. You can also connect the camera directly to certain Canon SELPHY compact photo printers and PIXMA inkjet photo printers. In this way, you can make prints directly from the camera without having to connect to a computer. Battery Information Power Requirements: The PowerShot N is powered by the supplied NB-9L Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery pack (3.5V, 870mAh, 3.1Wh). A fully charged battery pack can provide power for up to approximately 200 shots (280 in Eco mode), 35 minutes of movie shooting time, or 4 hours of playback time. The NB-9L is charged in the camera in approximately 3 hours using the supplied CA-DC30 Compact Power Adapter and the supplied USB cable. Optional AC Adapter Kit: You can power the camera using household AC power by plugging in the optional ACK-DC70 AC adapter Kit. This is helpful when the camera is connected to a printer or computer. Note: The adapter cannot be used to charge the camera battery. Power Saving Functions: The camera is equipped with the following power saving functions: Eco Mode During Shooting: The screen will darken when the camera is not used for approximately 2 seconds, and will turn off approximately 10 seconds later. After three minutes of inactivity, the camera will turn itself off. Auto Power Down: In shooting mode, the screen is automatically deactivated after about one minute of inactivity. In about two more minutes, the lens is retracted and the camera turns itself off. In the playback mode, the camera powers down after approximately 5 minutes of inactivity. Note: The Power Saving Function will not activate during a Slide-Show or while the camera is connected to a computer. Inputs and Outputs Notes A/V Out / Digital Terminal: The camera has a Mini-B Version 2.0 USB terminal to allow you to connect the camera to a compatible computer or compatible Canon printer via the supplied optional IFC-400PCU interface cable.

Vintners in the Santa Cruz Mountains have been producing exceptional Cabernet Sauvignons since as early as the mid 1800's. The Cabernets produced from the Santa Cruz Mountains have a distinct character and style that is original to this Mountainous region. In 1976 the Judgment of Paris wine tasting event helped to catapult Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignons onto the international stage when Monte Bello also known as Ridge Vineyards beat out classified Bordeaux estates like Château Mouton Rothschild, Château Montrose, Château Haut-Brion and Château Léoville-Las Cases in a blind tasting conducted by French wine experts.
List of participating wineries include: Ridge Vineyards, Kathryn Kennedy, House Family Winery, Beauregard Vineyards, Cooper-Garrod Estate Vineyards, Mount Eden Vineyards, Silver Mountain Vineyards, Lexington, Left Bend, Woodside Vineyards, McCarthy Family Estate Vineyards, Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard and Burrell School Vineyards.

Meaning & Origins
From an Old French name of Germanic (Frankish) origin, from nord 'north' + berht 'bright, famous'. The best-known bearer of this name was an 11th-century saint who founded an order of monks known as Norbertians (also called Premonstratensians from their first home at Premontré near Laon). Norbert was one of several names of Germanic origin that were revived in Britain in the late 19th century, but it is now rather more common in North America than in Britain.

If you're a George Jones fan, then you probably have Nov. 22 circled on your calendar.
You already know that's the last stop of a farewell tour for the living legend.
And you realize that after a hard-lived life spent pulling the deepest aches from the best songs in the business, this is a bucket-list concert.
Named "The Grand Tour," Jones hits the highways of America to open his final journey this weekend in Greenville, Texas.
It culminates with what should prove to be a crowded stage of stars at the Bridgestone Arena on Nov. 22.
Already announced for the final show are Montgomery Gentry, Kenny Rogers, Josh Turner, and Dierks Bentley along with Charlie Daniels, Lorrie Morgan, Randy Travis, Jamey Johnson, and Gene Watson.
If we had to guess, that list is going to get even longer for the chance to laud one of the greatest voices to ply the airwaves.
