To be narked by sister(47 Posts)
I pick my DNephews up from school (by walking, no car) and feed them once a week. However my BIL (who has their car) never picks them up. My DH ends up taking them home when he gets home from work.
This week I said to my DSis that DH couldn't do it, BIL would have to.
DSis says oh BIL is really busy at work , he's working really hard so it will be really late, don't know when he can get them.
My DH is also really busy, works really hard and gets in late. Why should he miss part of his evening with me and own DCs to be ferrying DNephews about? We are doing them the favour, looking after and feeding their children. (and get no thanks) and they don't think it is their responsibility to collect their children but expect us to take them home.
Don't want an argument as we have illness in the immediate family so a family fall out won't help but how can I get them to see that they need to start taking responsibility for their own children? This is just one example of many.
I have a very good relationship with my DNephews and due to circumstances in family I can't stop the arrangement to look after them so stopping that isn't an option.
In your situation, I think I'd be tempted for my children to suddenly find an extra curricular activity or something that they had to do on that evening... So either you can't drop off (because DH will be at said activity with children at drop off time) or you can not have her children any longer that evening.
Give advance warning - my children are going to be doing X hobby on X night (or whatever the reason is), which means we can no longer have your children. Here's some details of a childminder I know, she's got spaces and can look after your children for you...
Your children have only got to do said hobby for a few weeks / months. Could give it up after!
Or something similar which gets you out of having them, but avoids the row at this stressful time.
If everything else was normal, I'd go for the assertive route, but given the other problems you've mentioned, and the real need to avoid a row, I personally would be inclined to find a genuine reason
excuse to get out of looking after them, which your sister then can't turn around on you (especially if you offer her the alternatives at the same time - she then can't say you're letting her down!)
Odaat I agree with you! You are right, I have been far too soft!
Something else happened yesterday and I saw it in a whole new light, it was very disrespectful behaviour on her part. She could see I wasn't impressed and confronted me even though my parents were in earshot. I just twigged she was pushing me to complain so that I would appear the awkward one in front of a group. I didn't though I just cooly thought no, bide your time and deal with it calmly when she's not expecting it.
She has got into a habit of being very cheeky and thinking it is great she is getting away with it I think.
Thank you for making me see I am not being nice, I am being walked over.
I'm sorry but MAN up! Get some backbone and stop being a complete and utter doormat. You don't ask for respect, you earn it. Your sis behaviour is shocking, but more fools you for bloody entertaining it! I am more surprised by that, than her behaviour tbh
Madd she could... But she never would!
Things are going to change and I think she is going to be quite confused!
does =dsis
ps hope being assertive helps
could does not pick them up on foot when she finishes work?
good for you!
You are naughty people
I would never not pick them up from school. I love my DNs, their welfare comes first.
Yes, after Easter I need to set limits so we know where we stand. And be consistent. And generally be firmer.
Thank you all for taking the time to post, I feel more confident in being firm about it.
Or perhaps gamerchick she should just say: 'Children? What children?'
I wonder if one day you just didn't take them home and just 'kept them' for a bit, how long it would take for her notice.
Play her at her own game, then.
Phone her in tears saying it can't carry on, you feel so taken advantage of, nobody treats you fairly. Then she can't play the victim.
It isn't fair on the kids.
But if OP doesn't phone to arrange it, will her sister assume it's still happening anyway??
You can't just not collect the kids from school one day - that isn't fair on them, and this isn't their fault.
After the easter hols just tell your sister that your DH can't run them home ans she needs to organise them being picked up from you. Otherwise you will be unable to have them.
If it does cause a row, it's not your fault. You shouldn't let the possibility of a row stop you from saying what your limits are. How she and BIL react is out of your hands and you will not be at fault if they kick off, they will.
But you are at fault for not saying what you want in the first place. Hope you aren't offended, I'm saying it because you need to set limits with those two.
You are all helping a lot because I am seeing it from different angles and will be a bit wiser to their manipulations.
I think that my parents have probably done far too much to avoid rocking the boat with them over the years that my sister sees it as the norm for everyone to be running round after her. The crux I think is that my BIL is a bit of a pain and always shirks his responsibility onto others and yes, he perceives us all as less busy and less important. My DSis probably tries to avoid conflict with him and so it keeps filtering down the line.
I think changing the habits of a lifetime is going to be hard. And yes it is emotional blackmail because if I am firm and assertive it will cause a row.
I don't want to bother my parents as they hate any family conflict
This is the root of it. You and she have learned that this is the way to behave.
If you want her to stop taking advantage of you, you are going to have to tell her that, calmly and firmly. But if it is more important to you to avoid 'conflict' - which isn't conflict, btw, it's just saying what you want - then you are going to have to put up with her and BIL taking the piss.
Your DSIS is deliberately using the fact that you think you cannot cause conflict within the family, to manipulate you.
Can you say you cannot pick them up this day any more because of XYZ other arrangement? What if one of your DC wanted to do an after school club that meant you had to be elsewhere?
You are being emotionally blackmailed and need to stop it right now. If you really cannot stomach stopping the arrangement altogether, tell her that her DC have to be collected, by BIL or her or whoever, by X time, or you will be putting them in a taxi home (without further conversation) and she will have to pay for it when they get out.
Stand up for yourself!!!!
It's perhaps the fairest to tell her & tell her now, although she doesn't deserve such consideration, but the children do.
Ahhh... So it's not just the one afternoon a week is it? She's totally taking advantage. Unfortunately, especially if you stay home or work part-time (or even fulltime but conveniently closer to nursery), some women people perceive you as one of the 'little people' who have copious amounts of time available to tend to the things they can't get around to with their Very Important Busy Lives. They get easily annoyed when you can't tend to their immediate needs and the most effective way to get you to do it is to make you feel petty and small. Not because you are petty and small, mind you. It's just a tactic.
Go on a long holiday and she'll have to arrange something else when you get back say you enjoyed it so much that she should keep the existing arrangement going.
Be firm & tell it like it is. It is the adult thing to do.
Be firm, it's the best option for YOU in the long run. I find the people who complain when you're rocking the boat are the ones who want to take advantage.
I see benefits of both sides, being passive aggressive and being assertive.
My DSis just doesn't care. She is one of those who just thinks I am being awkward if I am assertive with her. I always end up feeling like I am causing a fuss and get the blame for rocking the boat.
I really don't mind my DNs being at my house, they are lovely boys and no trouble at all. It's my DSis and BIL attitude that rankles.
They do stay overnight at weekends sometimes! And we run them home otherwise they would never come for them!
I either have to let it go, or be firm, or do the PA route.
My guess is that they are not picking up their kids themselves because they are quite happy to leave the DN's for as long as possible with you, even if they are not at work (they can do shopping, meet up with friend etc). Personally I would stop doing it even given the illness with your parents. If your parents aren't aware of the situation, let them know that Dsis/BiL never picks up so that if they are asked, they can make an informed decision about it. If you really don't mind having your nephews over I guess I wouldn't run them home, just let her come and get them whatever hour that may be. You'd have to be careful with that though because they might just see it as more convenient to leave them with you overnight and get you to run them to school the next day too! YANBU to be cross, there has been a big increase in this sort of pisstaking of late I've noticed - even from non-family!!!!
I disagree with the not phoning, potential rod for your own back and a bit PA.
How about laying it out straight, " I am willing to collect, mind and feed your kids after school on agreed day. You must sort out getting them back home. If it doesn't suit, make other arrangements."
breeds less trouble and upset to be assertive in the first place and set out what you're willing to do.

|IBM Tivoli Access Manager: Performance tuning tips when using the Authorization Java Classes
Tivoli Access Manager provides a set of Java classes that expose its authorization services to developers. Optimizing use of these classes in a performance-sensitive environment can make a significant improvement to the scalability of the solution environment. This document discusses techniques for tuning performance of an application that uses the Authorization Java Classes and the infrastructure upon which it depends.
About IBM Tivoli Access Manager
Figure 1. IBM Tivoli Access Manager
IBM Tivoli Access Manager provides authentication and access control services for Web resources. The WebSEAL server, a component of IBM Tivoli Access Manager for e-business, manages access to all Web servers—regardless of their platforms. This allows an organization to centrally control their Web resources as a single, logical Web space.
IBM Tivoli Access Manager for Business Integration provides protection for MQSeries messages. It allows MQSeries applications to send data with confidentiality and integrity using keys associated with the sending and receiving users. The IBM Tivoli Access Manager authorization service provides access control to MQSeries based services, restricting which users or processes can and cannot put messages on queues or get messages from queues.
IBM Tivoli Access Manager also provides application APIs to allow in-house developed applications to access IBM Tivoli Access Manager services. IBM Tivoli Access Manager supports the J2EE standard JAAS (Java Authentication and Authorization Service) to allow native Java applications to access IBM Tivoli Access Manager for authorization decisions. IBM Tivoli Access Manager also provides an implementation of the Open Group's standard authorization C-language API (AznAPI) to allow applications that want to call out to a C API to use the IBM Tivoli Access Manager authorization and entitlements services.
IBM Tivoli Access Manager provides a robust web-based delegated security administration utility that allows delegate security administration to members of their eCommunity.

Born of European Jewish refugees, Ben Dlin has led an unusual life. He grew up in the only Jewish family in Bruderheim, northern Alberta. An indifferent student with an attitude problem in high school, he became a leading psychiatrist in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He now splits his time between Pender Harbour, BC, and Philadelphia. Country Doctor is his first book. He is the author of Country Doctor: A Memoir [2000]. [harbour publishing, 2002]
Country Doctor (Caitlin $18.95)
In 1956, when Ben Dlin joined the faculty of psychiatry at UBC, he says he was the first qualified psychoanalyst west of Toronto and east of Japan. But the bulk of Country Doctor (Caitlin $18.95) concerns Dlin's medical practices in Alberta in the early '50s.
Born and raised as a Jew in the rural Alberta farm community of Bruderheim, Dlin wanted to be a doctor since the age of nine. His frank and sophisticated account of his patients' ailments and fears, including their sexual problems, concludes with his views on the medical system.
"The healing profession is now part of a business with the doctor at the bottom of the corporate/government food chain," Dlin says. "[But] much like the canaries that are first to show the effects of mine gases, patients are the first to suffer from the toxic effect of the health care system." 0-920576-85-0

- re: Independence to Mammoth on the CREST (800) 922 1930
I spoke with CREST this morning. They run 2 buses from Independence
to Bishop 5 days a week (Monday through Friday). The first departs
at 6:47 AM; the second at 12:47 PM. It takes about 65 minutes for
this trip.
From Bishop to Mammoth:
Mon/Wed ... departs Bishop at 3:00 PM. (If you take the bus from
Independence at 12:47 PM, you will arrive in Bishop with plenty of
time to transfer).
Tue/Thu ... departs Bishop at 7:00 AM.
This is a definite improvement over last year's schedule!
Great Hiking to All.

The house of representatives of U.S. Congress on the 30th of November has adopted the bill restricting the movements of Russian diplomats in the country. About it was reported by RIA Novosti, citing the official website of the lower house of Congress.
The provision enabled one of the items in a bill funding U.S. intelligence in 2017 financial year.
"Accredited members of diplomatic missions of Russia in the United States cannot travel more than 25 miles (40 kilometers) from their office buildings during a calendar quarter," is spoken in the document text.
In that case, if the FBI until the end of the previous calendar quarter informs about the absence of violations of this regime by the representatives of Russia, the limitation will be partially removed.
Earlier, the Russian foreign Ministry has criticized such initiatives, promising "mirror response" in case of their acceptance.
Recall that the US has not let Russian diplomats to perform their duties. In particular, during the US presidential election on the 8th of November of this year, the FBI blocked the car of the employee of Consulate General of Russia in Houston, and the state Department tried to prevent employees of the Russian diplomatic missions to get to the polling stations.
Some analysts attribute the enactment of new legislation with planned Congress of the electoral Board of the United States, where the future President of the country should be elected.______________________________________________________________________

Though born in Hungary, he emigrated to England and later moved to the United States and is based in New York. He has dual citizenship for the United States and Hungary. He is famously known for two things, the Soros Fund Management, and the Open Society Foundations. George Soros started the Soros Fund Management because of the experience he had in setting up and running hedge funds. The reason for founding the Open Society Foundation was because of the influence Karl Popper, a philosopher he met when he was attending his undergraduate and graduate studies at the London School of Economics.
George Soros was born and raised in Hungary till 1947 when his family moved to England. His parents, Tividar and Erzebat Schwartz, named him Gyorgy Swartz, but he later changed to George Soros when he moved to England. Growing as a child in Hungary was not one of his easiest moments in life. During that time, there was a war going on in the country. In fact, his father, who was also a lawyer by profession on theatlantic.com, was a prisoner of war in Russia. However, he escaped and returned home to join his family. At the age of 13, he was separated from his mother and two brothers because his father feared that they may be killed together.
When he moved to England in 1947, he joined the London School of Economics at http://www.forbes.com/profile/george-soros/. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in philosophy in 1951. He immediately registered for a master's degree and finished in 1954. While studying, he worked as a railway porter and waiter. While at the London School of Economics, he met Karl Popper, who became his "spiritual mentor." It is the concepts that Karl Popper advocated that influenced the philanthropic activities of Soros such as the Open Society Foundations on Politico.
Immediately after finishing his studies he had a tough time finding a good job and settled to work as a travelling salesman, an experience he described as one of the lowest moment in his life. However, he managed to get a job at Singer and Friedlander, where he started working as a clerk and then an arbitrage trader. George Soros specialized in buying stocks in one country and selling them in another country. After a suggestion from Robert Mayer, a fellow employee and whose father owned F.M. Mayer, he applied for a job at F.M. Mayer. He got the job and moved to New York in 1956. While working for F.M. Mayer, he became a specialist in European stocks, which caught the attention of many institutional investors in the United States. This earned him a job at Wertheim & Co where he worked from 1959 to 1963 before moving to Arnhold and S Bleichroeder. He held the post of vice president at the firm and quit in 1973 because of conflict of interest with a hedge company, the Soros Fund Management on nybooks.com, that he established in 1970. The Soros Fund Management is his greatest achievement that has enabled him to many other things such as founding the Open Society Foundations, which is a philanthropic organization.

Now to Apple. If it's going to do $25 billion in share purchases in the coming year, let's assume it does that at an average price of $400. That means it'll retire 62.5 million shares. There are about 240 trading days in the year and Apple trades about 15 million shares a day. This means Apple's purchases in the open market will account for about 1.7% of the overall trading volume each year. Yahoo!'s stock has gone up 60% in the past six months. A lot of this is due to the fact that it was trading very cheaply for a long time and its valuation is now "catching up" to the inherent value of its stakes in Alibaba Group (which will soon IPO) and Yahoo! Japan. However, it's undeniable that a positive floor on the stock was created with knowledge that Yahoo! is often in the market providing a floor to the stock price with its incremental purchases. On days around when Yahoo! reports earnings -- and when Yahoo! cannot be in the market buying stock -- Yahoo!'s stock is much more volatile. When stock purchases resume, you can see the strength in the bids on the stock.
By magnitude, Yahoo!'s purchases are about three times the size of the average daily volume as Apple's will be. So, Apple's purchases will certainly have a more muted effect than with Yahoo!, despite the fact that it is "the largest corporate buyback in history." However, the question is: Will the market know that, every day, Apple is going to be in the market buying back about 2% of the daily volume provide a floor on the stock and confidence that will help it rise from here. I think it's unquestionably a positive. So, let's talk about why this is no panacea for the stock. David Einhorn basically provoked Apple into action on this large cash pile and using it more effectively than it was before. So, I'm sure many other investors are happy about it. But the lukewarm reaction in terms of the stock price today also points to what investors really want from Apple -- growth. They're not going to get growth until Apple unveils new products.

ATHENS, Ga. - Georgia probably has not been known for its punt returners in at least 10 years.
According to Damien Gary, that's too long.
Chuck Carswell was a top return specialist in his three-year career, which ended in 1991. Before Carswell, Jimmy Harrell (1981-84) and Scott Woerner (1977-80) were standout return specialists for the Bulldogs.
Because it has been so long since the days of Carswell, and especially since Harrell and Woerner returned punts, the Georgia special teams have a goal of establishing a new tradition this season.
"On our grade sheet, we have a question: 'Have we built a tradition around here?' '' said Gary, a junior from Athens.
The answer, so far, is no.
"We really haven't built the tradition like we want to, but we're working hard at it and that's pretty much the biggest question,'' Gary said.
"Everything else we answer yes to, but we haven't been able to answer yes to special teams yet on punt returns.''
This week's Southeastern Conference statistics indicate that Gary is making progress. With 11 returns for 172 yards in three games, Gary leads the SEC with his average of 15.6 yards per return. The average ranks 19th in the nation.
Georgia also has Fred Gibson ranking second in the SEC and fifth in the nation with his average of 34.4 yards on five kickoff returns. Also, kicker Billy Bennett is 11 for 11 on extra points and four-for-four on field-goal attempts.
"It's tremendous,'' said Georgia coach Mark Richt of his team's special teams play. "I'm proud of them. We really work hard at it. They're doing as good or better than I hoped. They take it very seriously.''
If not for penalties, Gary also would have an 80-yard return for a touchdown and another 42-yarder negated by a penalty. The junior who also ranks third on Georgia's receiving list appears to be on track to helping the Bulldogs earn a renewed reputation for their special teams play.
Gary's strong returns this season - including five for 89 yards in last week's win over Northwestern State - are only the continuation of momentum which started last season.
Gary ranked second in the SEC with his average of 12.5 yards per punt return in 2001, and his 72-yard return for a touchdown was a big play in the Bulldogs' 26-24 win at Tennessee.
Now Gary wants to add another touchdown to his already impressive list of returns this year, perhaps in Saturday's 1 p.m. home game against New Mexico State.
"We're hungry to get in the end zone again,'' Gary said. "We experienced that last year against Tennessee and we want to experience that again.''
A holding penalty against Reggie Brown ruined Gary's 80-yard touchdown return in the second quarter last week. Gary high-stepped the final five yards into the end zone and then began a celebration dance that quickly ended when he saw the yellow flag far down the field.
"I'm hoping the penalty is not against us, but at the same time when it is way back you pretty much know it is against us,'' he said.
The punt returns have served as a means for Gary to show his impressive skills when he fights for playing time at receiver with Terrence Edwards, Gibson, Brown and others.
Some believe Gary should receiver a higher percentage of passes, and even Richt said this week he is surprised more balls have not been thrown at Gary. But no complaints have come from Gary.
"We have some talented receivers around here,'' Gary said. "I'm not a selfish person to be complaining about who gets the most balls. I felt that in being a punt returner, that's my opportunity to leave my mark and show people what I can do.''

TIMBERS, Circuit Judge:
Appellant Richard A. Campana appeals from a judgment in favor of appellees John T. Eller and John MacLeod entered February 7, 1984 after a 12 day jury trial in the District of Massachusetts in this civil rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1985 (1982).
Essentially, Campana's complaint alleged that Eller and MacLeod
The appeal also brings up for review an order entered March 5, 1984 denying Campana's post-trial motions pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 59 to alter or amend the judgment or for a new trial. In these motions Campana claimed that the court committed error in several of its rulings, and that the court was guilty of conduct which prejudiced his case.
For the reasons stated below, we affirm.
Campana was hired by MHFA as a mortgage analyst in July 1971. In 1978, he was transferred to the newly created position of MHFA office manager. As office manager, Campana was supervised first by MacLeod and then by Eller. Appellees claimed that, from 1974 until his termination in August 1979, Campana received numerous negative evaluations of his work and work habits, and that it was on this basis that his employment was terminated. Campana, on the other hand, claimed that sometime in the Spring of 1978 appellees became aware that he had approached the State Commissioner of Administration and Finance, Edward Hanley, to inform him
Trial began on January 19 and concluded on February 4, 1984. At the close of appellees' case, the court granted their motion for partial summary judgment and/or directed verdict as to Campana's Fourteenth Amendment due process claim on the ground that Campana had actions pending in both the Boston Municipal Court and the Suffolk County Superior Court which paralleled his federal claims for reinstatement, loss of earnings or prospective earnings, loss of retirement benefits, and all other incidental expenses. To avoid the possibility of inconsistent results, the court dismissed the due process component of Campana's complaint, leaving him to his remedy in the state courts. Campana did not object to the court's ruling in this respect.
In its charge to the jury, the court stated that in order to prevail Campana must establish by a preponderance of the evidence (1) that he was engaged in speech protected by the Constitution, (2) that the exercise of that speech was the motivating factor in the decision to terminate him from his employment, (3) that the termination took place under color of state law, and (4) that he sustained damages. Although the court refused Campana's request to submit the due process claim to the jury, or to instruct the jury in the language of Section 16, Campana did not object to the charge or to the form of jury verdict prepared in accordance with the charge.
Midway through its deliberations, the jury sent a note to the court asking, among other things, whether it could separate Eller and MacLeod. The court convened a conference with counsel for the respective parties, at which time Campana's counsel suggested that the issue of individual liability either had been raised in the complaint or had been tried by the express or implied consent of the parties. Alternatively, Campana's counsel requested leave to amend his complaint to include a claim for individual liability. The court rejected Campana's suggestion that the issue had been raised and denied leave to amend the complaint, stating that appellees would be unduly prejudiced by such an amendment. The court instructed the jury, over Campana's objection, that it could not separate Eller and MacLeod.
Following the jury's verdict in favor of appellees, Campana filed the post-trial motions to alter or amend the judgment or for a new trial referred to above. These motions asserted as alleged claims of error the court's failure to separate appellees, its refusal to submit the due process issue to the jury, its refusal to instruct the jury in the language of Section 16, and certain conduct of the court during the trial which Campana claimed unfairly prejudiced his case.
This appeal followed.
We turn first to Campana's claim that the court erred in refusing to permit the jury to determine the individual liability of appellees separately. He bases his contention that this issue was raised in the complaint on Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(f), which provides, "All pleadings shall be so construed as to do substantial justice." Although this rule reflects a liberal attitude toward the construction of pleadings, Beacon Theatres, Inc. v. Westover, 359 U.S. 500, 506 (1959), placing substance before form, United States v. White County Bridge Commission, 275 F.2d 529, 535 (7th Cir.1960), it of course is axiomatic that a defendant is entitled to know the nature and extent of the claim being made against him. United States v. Classified Parking System, Inc., 213 F.2d 631, 633 (5th Cir.1954). In the instant case, Campana alleged in his complaint that the claimed false reasons given for his termination were "conspired and contrived by defendants John T. Eller and John MacLeod". The complaint further alleged that "defendants John T. Eller and John MacLeod conspired and contrived to deny and deprive plaintiff an opportunity to refute the charges that the said defendants had against him...." The most liberal reading of these paragraphs provides no basis for a claim of individual liability. We note that in paragraph four of his complaint, Campana alleges that this action arises under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 as well as § 1985. Although 1983 is predicated on individual liability, the mere invoking of this statute without any further elaboration is not sufficient to raise the issue for trial. See Fisher v. Flynn, 598 F.2d 663, 665 (1st Cir.1979). This is not a case where a properly pleaded legal theory has been merely overlooked due to the extensive pleading of other theories, see Gins v. Mauser Plumbing Supply Co., 148 F.2d 974, 976 (2d Cir.1945); rather, our reading of the complaint as a whole supports the district court's determination that only a conspiracy was alleged.
Alternatively, Campana contends that the issue was tried with the express or implied consent of the parties pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(b).
Campana further contends that the court erred in denying him leave to amend his complaint to conform to the evidence pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(b) in response to the jury's question submitted to the court midway through its deliberations, referred to above. Such late pleading amendments may be allowed under Rule 15(b) at the discretion of the court, but only to the extent that the party opposing the amendment will not be unduly prejudiced. While there is no exact formula for determining what constitutes prejudice, under the circumstances of this case we are satisfied that the court properly exercised its discretion in denying leave to amend the complaint during the jury's deliberations. The complaint, as stated above, was framed in terms of a conspiracy. All discovery
Furthermore, Campana has shown no justification for his delay in moving to amend. Imperial Motors, Inc. v. Chrysler Corp., 559 F.Supp. 1312, 1316 (D.Mass.1983). He has not indicated that the motion was prompted by newly discovered facts or law. Id. Rather, the record clearly indicates that the motion was a last minute attempt to respond to the jury's question to the court during its deliberations. It would certainly have been prejudicial to have permitted Campana to "whip-saw" appellees in this manner. Experience on the trial bench has taught that there is no more sensitive point in the trial of a jury case than the moment the jury returns to the courtroom to hear the court respond to a question submitted to the court during deliberations. We cannot imagine greater prejudice to appellees than to have allowed the amendment requested by Campana at this point in the trial.
Accordingly, we hold that the court did not err in ruling that the issue of individual liability had neither been raised in the complaint nor tried by the express or implied consent of the parties; and that it did not err in denying the motion to amend the complaint during the jury's deliberations.
Campana further claims that the court erred in refusing to submit the due process claim to the jury and in refusing to instruct the jury in the language of Section 16. Initially, it should be re-emphasized that Campana did not object to the court's ruling at the close of appellees' case granting their motion for summary judgment and/or directed verdict as to Campana's due process claim for reinstatement and loss of wages and other benefits. Also, Campana did not object, as he was required to do pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 51, to the jury instructions given by the court. His failure to make timely and proper objections to the court's instructions or refusal to charge precludes him from assigning error on appeal with respect thereto. Nimrod v. Sylvester, 369 F.2d 870, 872 (1st Cir.1966).
This brings us to Campana's final claim of error: that conduct on the part of the court during the trial prejudiced his case. We disagree.
We have carefully examined each episode specified by Campana — separately and in the context of the entire record of this 12 day trial which has been presented to us in 13 volumes of trial transcript. We are satisfied that Campana had a fair trial and that the court's conduct did not prejudice him.
What comes through clearly from our examination of the entire record is that the court displayed the patience of Job in dealing with an extraordinarily obstreperous plaintiff and his counsel. They repeatedly disregarded the court's warnings regarding improper statements, gestures and actions in the presence of the jury. Over and over again, after the court had ruled that certain testimony was inadmissible, Campana's counsel persisted in seeking to introduce the very testimony that had been excluded. The court quite properly insisted that its rulings be respected. After all, federal trial judges are not puppets; they are expected — indeed they are duty-bound — to maintain proper decorum and order in the courtroom. That is precisely what this able, experienced and conscientious trial judge did in this case.
We believe that the trial judge fairly and succinctly summarized the situation in his

Dear teens777:There are many different topicals that can be used for Microneedling, and some patients have the procedure without any prior topical numbing. Allergy to topical is very rare, whereas done other agents such as tetracaine and benzocaine are more likely to cause reactions. I do believe it is possible to find a way you can have this treatment with comfort, and also would recommend you have PRP with the Microneedling.All the best,Dr. Clark

Hi teens777. It is difficult to say from your description of what happened. Some topical numbing creams do normally cause tingling...Notwithstanding, microneedling with radiofrequency, as found in the "Profound" technology is a good treatment for skin tightening and increasing dermal volume, both of which will improve acne scars. We perform this treatment after injecting local anesthesia, not topical.

Osborne retreats on charitable donations
George Osborne has reversed his unpopular decision to put a cap on tax reliefs for charitable donations after weeks of sustained pressure from the charitable sector.
The chancellor has decided to exempt charitable giving from the overall limit on the amount of tax reliefs taxpayers can claim in any one year.
The retreat is the third humiliating Budget U-turn the Treasury has executed in a week, after proposals to put VAT on hot takeaway food and caravans were both dropped. Mr Osborne hopes now to have drawn a line under his controversial package, which has triggered bad headlines and a slump in the opinion polls.
The curb on charitable donations policy was originally announced in the Budget, and sparked widespread criticism and complaints that it undermined the government's vision of a "Big Society" sustained by voluntary groups.
Mr Osborne said: "It is clear from our conversations with charities that any kind of cap could damage donations, and as I said at the Budget that's not what we want at all. So we've listened.
"Frankly, at a time like this the government is going to focus on the big issues like the worsening eurozone crisis and Britain's deficit, and not get distracted with unnecessary arguments. We're going to concentrate our efforts on what really matters: keeping Britain safe in the gathering storm."
John Low, chief executive of the Charities Aid Foundation, said: "We are delighted that the government has responded to the challenging calls from philanthropists and charities across the country and taken the bold decision to exempt charitable donations from the cap on tax relief.
"We thank ministers for the support they have shown to charities large and small, which are so vital to the health of our country."
Treasury officials had originally wanted to strike a compromise with the charitable sector, offering to put a higher cap on charitable donations and allow reliefs to be rolled over from one year to the next. But after charities made it clear they would accept nothing less than a full retreat, Mr Osborne decided to drop the policy altogether.
"This decision has already done considerable damage and, taken alongside huge cuts in government funding and contracts like the Work Programme not delivering the money for charities ministers once promised, has been responsible for the toughest year in a generation for Britain's charities and community groups," said Gareth Thomas, Labour's shadow charities minister.
"If ministers understood the work charities did, the vital difference they make for some of our most vulnerable and the important contribution they offer to make our communities stronger,' Mr Thomas added, "this policy mess could have been avoided. Instead we have the spectacle of George Osborne trying to bury bad news on the day one of his rivals is in hot water at the Leveson Inquiry."
Sir Stuart Etherington, chief executive of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations, said: "We are delighted that the Chancellor has listened to reason and pledged to drop the charity tax. This is a victory for common sense and validates the strength of feeling from the thousands of organisations who lent their weight to the 'Give it Back, George' campaign. This is a great day for philanthropy."

Telecom minister Kapil Sibal held consultations with stakeholders to evolve a clear and transparent regime covering licensing, spectrum allocation and other issues concerning the sector
New Delhi: Worried over differences amongst the service providers, particularly, on the issue of spectrum allocation, telecom minister Kapil Sibal today asked them to soon sink their differences as otherwise it could adversely impact growth of the sector, reports PTI.
Mr Sibal, during his meeting with various telecom operators, discussed in detail issues ranging from spectrum sharing, merger and acquisition, annual spectrum usage charge and rising disputes among the telecom firms.
"Range of issues were on the table basically as you know that the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) had given its recommendations way back in May last year and then its latest recommendations on spectrum management in February 2011.
"I have urged the stakeholders that the captains of the industry must get together and iron out the differences among themselves because no industry can be robust if it is fractious," Mr Sibal told reporters here.
The minister held consultations with stakeholders to evolve a clear and transparent regime covering licensing, spectrum allocation and other issues in the telecom sector.
"By the end of this month the minister has asked to give our recommendations to sort out differences existing in the industry," Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) director Rajan S Mathew said.
The recommendations given by TRAI on spectrum management and licensing framework which earned criticism from most of leading telecom players was the centre of deliberations at the conference.
"Now these issues will be taken to the Telecom Commission and later the government will take a decision on them. I have a 100-day agenda and I keep my 100-day agenda," Mr Sibal added.
At the beginning of this year, telecom minister Kapil Sibal had initiated action to formulate comprehensive National Telecom Policy 2011 under his 100-day agenda.
Supporting the telecom minister's views Bharti Airtel CEO Sanjay Kapoor said, "There needs to be a level playing field and that is what matters and that is what we as operators are demanding."
The meeting was attended by various telecom chiefs including Bharti Airtel's Sanjay Kappor, Vodafone's TV Ramachandran and others.
Telecom major Bharti Airtel had, in a statement, said TRAI's recommendations are against the stated principle of the government to offer affordability, fairness and level playing field.
Reliance Communications, on its part, had alleged that TRAI's recommendation favoured old operators.
It said if the recommendations were accepted it will cause government a loss of Rs6,500 crore.
During the conference, Mr Sibal discussed delinking of spectrum from licensing of access service in future and renewal of licences, among other things.
"Well I think it is something which has to be tried because ultimately for the harmonious functioning of the sector, this is desirable and every effort in that direction has to be made," secretary, Department of Telecom, R Chandrasekhar said.
"Well in my sense the next step is to take it to the Telecom Commission but as the minister has indicated we would need to leave some time for a possible meeting of minds or consensus.
"I would not like to put a timeframe. We would try to take forward the decision making process as earliest," he said.
The telecom minister also discussed mergers and acquisition issues like relevant market share, minimum number of operators post merger, spectrum pricing on consolidation and spectrum transfer charges.
Stakeholders unanimously agreed not to bring telecom infrastructure provider (IP-1) under licensing framework.
"Absence of infrastructure and sharing of infrastructure is not allowed," an industry player present during the meeting said.
The per capita income rose to Rs46,492 in 2009-10 compared to Rs40,605 in the previous fiscal, statistics and programme implementation minister MS Gill said
New Delhi: The country's per capita income, often used to measure a country's standard of living, increased by 14.5% during 2009-10 to Rs46,492, reports PTI.
In 2008-09, the per capita income, which measures the income per person in a population, was Rs40,605, statistics and programme implementation minister MS Gill said in a written reply in the Lok Sabha.
"The per capita income at factor cost during 2008-09 and 2009-10 are estimated as Rs40,605 and Rs46,492, respectively, at current prices," said Mr Gill.
In response to a query, he said, the separate per capita income figures for rural and urban areas are available till the base year 2004-05, as the data is compiled only in the base year of the National Accounts Statistics.
As per the base year 2004-05, the per capita income in rural areas was Rs16,327, while in the urban areas it stood at Rs44,223.
"The major disparity in the urban and rural per capita income is high income in urban areas and high population concentration in rural areas," said Mr Gill.
He said the government is providing employment in villages through the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Scheme and the Bharat Nirman programmes, with an aim to increase the per capita income in the rural areas.

The Gerstner® #12 Repair Kit features polished brass hardware and felt lined drawers. It's an ideal size for so many hobbies and projects, the question to ask yourself is which one you want to organize first.
The top opens to reveal two uniquely designed areas with a vast array of storage capabilities. The front compartment has a sliding lift-out tray to hold your smaller parts with additional storage below the tray for pieces up to a 1-1/2 feet long. Behind the partition is an 8" deep compartment designed to hold the large 12 oz. spray cans and other items that must be kept upright for storage. In addition to the capacity inside the chest, there is a full width drawer to complete your storage needs. The top handle makes this chest comfortable to carry with you on any of your travels. While the chest lock gives you peace of mind knowing your valuables are safe and secure.
Sturdy chrome hardware gives the chest added strength and durability while the non-marring rubber bumper feet allow you to set the chest down without fear of leaving scratches or dents. Comes with two keys. This high-quality chest with its classic American styling can protect your valuables while being a beautiful focal point in any room's décor. Now is your opportunity to own a true heirloom that is sure to be treasured for years to come.
This chest utilizes Gerstner quality tongue and groove construction which provides strength, durability and visual appeal. Each part is meticulously hand fitted for the most exacting fit possible. Hardwoods naturally retain some moisture and can expand and contract slightly with seasonal temperatures – the Gerstner craftsmen have taken this into consideration and all parts are fitted accordingly to allow for this natural occurrence while taking into account regional and seasonal differences that may affect this process as well.
Rustic Hickory is a popular choice if you want character in the wood. Strength, hardness and durability are key features of Hickory. The grain is normally straight, but can sometimes be irregular or wavy. The rustic hickory variety we use can contain dark heartwood and light sapwood, sound knots and mineral streaks for a contrasting look. The small tight knots (sound knots) and mineral streaks are imperfections in the wood that give it that rustic look. The wood has a great deal of color variation between reddish brown, lighter brown and white. The larger the piece used the greater the chance of color variation. Your new Hickory chest has a lacquer finish and no stain to color the wood, but it will darken over time. Hickory is rustic enough to be great for a cabin or lodge and beautiful enough to blend into the most elite homes.
Every Gerstner USA built chest has a hand rubbed lacquer finish. All chests go through 3 final finishing stages. At each stage, the lacquer finish is hand rubbed to give a lasting beauty and protection to the selected hardwoods. MADE IN USA.

Normally we think of exercise addicts as young, active, and lets be real ripped individuals. We don't normally think of individuals like my 75 year old grandmother. My grandmother makes sure to exercise five times in a week! Yeah go Grandma! Ok, but she wasn't one of those people who always was super into working out. In fact, if it wasn't for her doctor threatening her, she definitely wouldn't have pursued this rigorous of an exercise regime. The truth is that perhaps even more than the rest of us, seniors need to keep up their fitness. Here's a list of 5 reasons why seniors need to make fitness a priority.
1) Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a disease in which your bones loses density. The bones become fragile and are prone to fracturing. Scary! Even scarier when you realize that the disease affects 200 million women worldwide. But one of the major ways people can prevent and combat osteoporosis is through weight bearing exercise. That's right participating in weight bearing exercises can help strengthen your bones and prevent fractures!
2) Alzheimer's
While more research needs to be done to clarify the relationship between exercise and Alzheimer's disease, the Alzheimer's association claims that exercise does seem to combat the disease. "Aerobic exercise improves oxygen consumption, which benefits brain function and has been found to reduce brain cell loss in elderly subjects" (Alzheimer's Association). Bonus if seniors choose exercise that include mental activity, such as street bike riding or working out with a companion, they get even more brain exercise!
3) Keeps Ya Limber
Even me, an active 20 year old, can feel the difference in flexibility from my younger self. The truth is as we get old we lose our flexibility. Staying limber is super important though because it can help prevent a lot of injuries. So especially as we get older its important to exercise to well.. stay loose :)
4) Helps Keep the Metabolism Running
As we get older our metabolisms slow down. Gone go the days where we can down a shake, burger, and fries without gaining an ounce (wait I never had those days, NO FAIR). Anyways, working out not only burns calories but gaining more muscle will help increase the metabolism. Staying lean and keeping your metabolism up are great ways to boost and lengthen your quality of life.
5) Reduces your Risks for Falls and Accidents
Ok as a self described clutz, this a decent reason for all people. However, seniors especially need to worry about falls and accidents. "Falls are the leading cause of death due to injury among the elderly 87% of all fractures in the elderly are due to falls" according to Learn Not to Fall. By exercising, seniors are building strength, balance, and coordination. All three can help prevent seniors from falling and injuring themselves.

Rumors among experts have it that Microsoft is working hard to release a dashboard update that'll increase Kinect's precision to the point of detecting finger movements and hand rotation.
In its current state, Kinect cannot detect such minute features because its depth sensor operates at a limited resolution of 320*240 at 30 frames per second. According to online reports, the depth sensor actually operates at a higher resolution, but has to downscale it before sending it to the console in order to limit the data transfer rate to 16 MB/s .
Said 16 MB/s is actually less than the console's USB port's maximum throughput of 35 MB/s. Microsoft couldn't give Kinect a higher transfer rate in order to allow other USB devices to be connected simultaneously.
According to the reports, Microsoft researchers are working on better compression algorithms and USB port switching technology that would allow the depth sensor to transmit its data at 640*480 resolution without flooding the USB port.

It was a trend & has now become a self fulfilling prophecy. Electronic capability now grows @ a rate that is profitable, not practical. It's why video games suck so much right now. It's more profitable & easier to dev' on one ******, limited device than many different robust & evolving ones. Of course then you run into problems like, "Oh it's a piece of **** for everything we didn't design it for on top of being a piece of **** for what we did & now some limitation won't permit us to expand its capabilities to keep up w/new, profitable trends & ideas". They didn't consider motion control because they figured as long as the less obsolete than the Wii but still far more obsolete than the PC hardware they put in them would be enough to improve the graphics above the Wii & that that was all that's necessary. Oops, ****** games on ****** hardware are ****** games on ****** hardware, no matter what their GPU can draw. Too bad every game on the PC has to suck *** 'cuz it was dev'ed for a ****** obsolete console & ported. PCs get the dummied down games that were dev'ed for garbage hardware instead of the consoles getting the dummy version 'cuz they can't handle the way it's meant to be played.
Just a bit more for sony to deal with...
So now that whiny '320x240' sony engineer can suck it up. The cameras do capture at higher resolutions, the limitation seems to be the console's USB. That could mean the ps3's USB is quite similar, sony just didn't think about compressing the data even more before sending.
I suppose it would be too much to ask to let the console control that. Increase or decrease precision based on how many USB devices are connected and average transfer rate.
Also they said 'throughput', so we have computer scientists working on it (it's the proper term when the physical layer is abstracted), yay!
They should of equipped a
They should of equipped a Firewire 800 port. PS2 had an iLink port. You think newer consoles would have the data transfer side covered. Microsoft has been a computer company for how many years, and consoles are becoming more and more like computers. I believe they are capable of so much more, maybe they're already there but are taking it slow as to make more money in the long run. There's a law that state computers must double in speed every 6 months, that basically means, you better keep up with the future. Sounds like consoles are becoming computers for that reason now too. Think about it..
Don't think so much, read more
"They should of equipped a Firewire 800 port"
For what reason? Back in 2003/2004 (when our current consoles were being designed) both MS and Sony believed motion controllers would fail. They had absolutely no reason to plan for what we have now, and adding a component just because 'its better' is a good reason in a kid's mind only. That's not how business works.
If you look back now you can easily say they should have, but you fail to see things as others did back then. Maybe if the fanboys had been less fanboys and had voiced their desire for motion controllers instead of just bashing the wii, they would have added a port because there would be potential customers for that already.
"PS2 had an iLink port"
Yes and it was hardly used. Gave them all the more reason not to add one.
"Microsoft has been a computer company for how many years"
Zero years (a few at most, if you're feeling kind), microsoft doesn't manufacture computers nor components. The Xbox was their first computer-like product. MS is mostly a software company.
"There's a law that state computers must double in speed every 6 months"
There is no such law. There is, however, moore's law which states the amount of trasistors on an integrated circuit doubles every two years without substantial price increase. But twice the transistors does not mean twice the speed, and its 2 years, not 6 months. It's also estimated that without some major breakthrough in semi-conductor technology moore's law will come to an end by 2015.
"Sounds like consoles are becoming computers for that reason now too. Think about it.."
No, consoles are becoming computers because companies want them to become the hub of your living room. More like a media center you can play games on, browse the internet and maybe even use for online shopping. Basically a way to keep track of what you do and like so they can use and/or sell your profile to marketing companies and other interested parties. You know what they say, knowledge is power.
I couldn't have said it better myself
Only thing I'd like to add is that since consoles are becoming more like PCs, they certainly seem to **** up even more than Windows, then it would make more sense & be more beneficial to just use a PC as the "hub". Instead of these heavily limited pieces of gimmicky **** that they try to expand the capabilities of after it's too late. The PCs people already had in their homes when these piece of **** consoles were conceived were faster & more versatile than these consoles will ever be. No one thought 3D was going to come on so strong either. The PS3 struggles w/it & the 360 couldn't even think about it, but PCs make it possible & do it w/ease. If Kinect were available for a PC even w/USB 2.0 it'd handle 20X more data than Kinect requires for finger recognition. A 360 doesn't even play BDs for fucksakes!!! Entertainment hub? What a ******* joke!! Nothing beats the power of a PC & nothing ever will. What goes around, comes around & all you console tards have PC tech to thank for those obsolete boxes you wasted your money on. My PC plays HD video, plays games faster & better than anything, in 3D, surfs the net, photo & video edits, word processes, video conferences, prints documents, plays music, rewinds, pauses & records TV, serves networks, maps genes & designs buildings + lots more. WTF does your console do? Draws a cartoon character of you in a little kids game riding a raft down a river?
******* joke. These things will soon be replaced w/the next big gimmick that they'll call "future proof" only to have the PC come along & shatter their expectations of the future again.

For many years I work in procurement for the US government,. Specifically I was involved for along time writing specifications, Requests For Proposals RFP's)and evaluating contracts for GPS Fleet Tracking equipment.
I saw a lot of "good deals" for the government, a lot of not so "good deals" and a few pieces of absolute crap.
You know what made the difference between the good and the bad?
The way the RFP's were written. hand down the single most significant factor in getting a workable, useful system lies way back in the selection process where you define the need.
"Tacking On" tasks to existing contracts which never were about current needs? It is not only illegal in many instances, but it is the most sure-fire path to getting one of those undesirable "crap" systems.
Do it right, people. The system you get can not be any better than the system you ask for.
And it's also the taxpayers money, if you hadn't thought about that.
City changes course after skipping GPS bids
First try was linked to existing contract.
The city is continuing to accept bids from companies to develop a GPS bus-tracking system — something its law department says should have been done in the first place before asking one software company to take on the project without requesting other proposals.
"They are trying to clean this up and do this right," said Rose Wibbenmeyer, an assistant city counselor.
In May, the city promised that GPS tracking for Columbia Transit would debut with the launch of the student-centric FastCAT bus route in August, serving downtown and campus. The plan was to have the GPS service ready first for FastCAT and later for all Columbia Transit buses, allowing riders to track buses' whereabouts from a smartphone or computer.
To develop the service, city officials — without seeking proposals from other vendors — looked to RouteMatch Software, an Atlanta-based company that since 2006 maintained a scheduling program for Columbia Transit's paratransit vehicles. But RouteMatch was unable to develop a working GPS program for FastCAT, and the city dropped the vendor. The city since has developed its own GPS program until it hires a new vendor.
Wibbenmeyer said officials should have instead issued a request for formal proposals, which is required for city purchases totaling more than $15,000. The city expects the overall GPS project to cost as much as $400,000, with federal transportation funds covering 80 percent of that.
Deputy City Manager Tony St. Romaine said the city had intended to grant the work to RouteMatch as a change order to the city's existing contract. He said that because of the short timeline to have GPS ready, and because RouteMatch's work for paratransit had been successful, the city wanted to see whether that program could be expanded to provide the GPS service.
"At the time, it certainly made sense to do what we did," St. Romaine said. "But in retrospect, it probably wasn't a good decision."
He said the city did not generate any documents for the proposed change order before the deal fell through…. rest of the article on How Not To Contract GPOS Fleet Tracking Systems

The unnamed man was texting his girlfriend Jackie, who was supposedly on a solo trip in Atlanta, when she began to strip.
Jackie claims in the first message that her flight got in 'a little late' and tells her boyfriend she had just gotten to the hotel and was about to take a shower.

I worked at Best Friends Animal Society (More than a year)
Working with/for animals THAT'S IT
Unfortunately lots of the rumors are true and then some. Best Friends is almost cult like. Once you speak up or say anything management or founders disagree with whether it be for the benefit of the animals or otherwise you are somewhat "black listed". Working in this environment is a daily soap opera far from the friendly facade they try to portray. Favorites are definitely played I'll refer to them as the groupies who regardless of what best friends does these few employees will go along with everything & anything so they basically get "rewarded" so to speak for immoral behavior which would not be tolerated at any other large organization. These employees know they can get away with doing things you wouldn't even imagine thus resulting in unhappy employees who see the injustice of the situation. I know many animal lovers who would love to work for best friends but trust me when I tell you it's not worth leaving your current job. Do some research and you'll discover the horrors that is best friends.
Advice to Management
Work for the animals not your egos.

I worked at Best Friends Animal Society full-time (More than 3 years)
Absolutely beautiful place, very nice coworkers, stunning surroundings and the chance to make a difference in the lives of animals.
Hard and a little scary to be an employee. The kindness to animals philosophy stops at those with four feet. My spouse and I used to travel there to volunteer every year and adopted three of our animals there before we were hired and moved to work there. .Here are the things to consider being okay with prior to giving it all up to work for them: You are NOT to speak up for animals you feel need care they deserve and may not be getting (some do, but not all), you are informed frequently and upon threat of termination that the purpose of the organization is to further the no more homeless pets platform and not the sanctuary. NMHP is amazing, but the employees hired to work at the sanctuary frequently drop everything and move all the way west to Kanab Utah to, where it is not easy to get a job if you are fired. Just be aware that not all that glitters is gold anymore and that it IS a wonderful place to be, just be careful. I wish someone had shared this with me. I was heartbroken when I found out.
Advice to Management
I know most of you are in the same boat, but please, if you are in any way able to speak out for the employees without fear of losing your own jobs, we need you. We are all there because we care, and there are much better ways to ensure compliance and harmony. Doing it through fear is not going to make a "better world for all of us". Thank you.

It's Wednesday — which means it's time for the next installment of "Happier with Gretchen Rubin."
Coming up: To celebrate our 20th episode, we're going to do an episode that features our listeners. So leave us a voicemail answer at 774-277-9336, by June 24, 2015, to one of these questions:
— if you could change one aspect of a relationship, what would you change? Huge, trivial, any relationship.
— what happiness demerit would you give yourself? what gold star would you bestow?
Thanks so much to the folks who have already sent in comments. Fascinating.
This week:
Try This at Home: Have an exact place for everything. Agree, disagree?
Happiness Stumbling Block: Beware of anything we call "our preciousssssss." Whenever Gollum refers to the ring, he calls it "my precious." "Losst it is, my precious, lost, lost! Curse us and crush us, my precious is lost!" Want to see a ten-second clip of Gollum talking about his precious, from The Lord of the Rings movie The Two Towers? It's here. Also, I mention being an "Abstainer." You can hear a discussion of that term in episode 2.
Listener Question: "What's some deeper advice for Owls living in a Lark world? And did you realize that the tone of the show was 'yay, Larks' and 'boo, Owls?'" Wow, I certainly didn't mean to sound dismissive. I'm a big believer in the fact of chronotypes (morning people and night people), and that we should try help shape the world to accommodate a person's Owl nature.
Elizabeth's Demerit: Elizabeth feels that she's not doing a good job of staying in touch with her old friends who live on the East Coast. Elizabeth mentions the "update" habit that we discuss in episode 2.
Gretchen's Gold Star: I give a gold star to my mother-in-law, who helped me re-frame the experience of plane rides, to make them more enjoyable.
