On 14th April 2011 South Africa attended their first BRICS summit having been granted membership of the grouping in December 2010. One year on from their first summit we take a look at what membership of BRICS means for South Africa and look at some examples of how it is impacting business both here and overseas. It is a grouping that represents over 40% of the global population.
South Africa's role in BRICS : we talk with DTI Minister Dr Rob DaviesAuthor Ivan FynnSource: Management Today 30, pp 10 –15 (2012)More Less
South Africa's peaceful transition to democracy and former President Nelson Mandela's moral authority have ensured that the country has punched above its weight since 1994. Now South Africa's admission to the BRICS group of developing economies - joining Brasil, Russia, India and China - offers the country a unique opportunity to convert that political capital into economic muscle.

In recent years, the BRICS has evolved into a powerful grouping of the world's leading emerging economies. In 2011 the BRICS's share of global gross domestic product (GDP) based on purchasing power parity amounted to about 25%; they occupy 30% of the global territory; and they are home to 45% of the world's population. The contribution of the BRICS countries to global economic growth over the last decade has reached 50%, which makes this group of states the leading power in global economic development. Some analysts predict that BRICS could become as big as the G7 by 2027.

At the time, they were one of the first wineries in the country to do this and only the second in the Swartland region. Over the years, the winery has seen many changes in winemaking, in wine styles and in the very customers themselves, but throughout it all, they have succeeded in rooting themselves in the heart of the Swartland community and region. They understand the needs of the growers and farmers around them and create a strong, sustainable business, producing affordable, quality wines at all price levels.

The impact of the workplace is something we cannot ignore. And looking at the overall wellness of our population and how much of their day they spend at work, there is a direct impact on their lifestyle and stress levels. A significant amount of clinical research shows a link between living an unhealthy lifestyle and the development of chronic diseases - high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes.

The power of Lean manufacturing : a case study in achieving breakthrough productivity improvementSource: Management Today 30, pp 56 –58 (2012)More Less
While Lean Manufacturing and the Toyota Production System is a proven methodology for waste elimination and productivity improvement, its true potential has not been exploited by many industries in India. There are reasons for this, most prominent among which is the lack of in-depth implementation know-how among Indian industries. That is about to change; SSA Business Solutions, with its in-depth understanding of Lean manufacturing is revolutionising the way Lean techniques are adopted and implemented by Indian industries. Project-Agility 500 at Star Engineering Ltd (name changed) is one such example that showcases the power of Lean manufacturing and its tremendous potential for achieving breakthrough productivity improvement for Indian industries.

Understanding the talent waveSource: Management Today 30, pp 62 –69 (2012)More Less
The Talent Wave is the metaphor for talent management and succession planning in the second decade of this millennium. While talent "pools" are associated with shallowness and stagnation, and "leadership pipelines" with constriction into narrow, inflexible paths that can easily get blocked, a wave is pure energy. On the sea, it is not the water that moves, but the energy waves that pass through it. For HR and for corporate leadership, the choice in identifying, growing and retaining talent lies between largely ineffectual attempts to control this energy and finding imaginative ways to harness and work with it.
From CSR to sustainable business - transformational leadership in actionAuthor Richard StraubSource: Management Today 30, pp 70 –74 (2012)More Less
Since I left my permanent IBM job some 6 years ago, I enjoy no more being constraint by the requirements of political correctness that you need to observe as a corporate executive. I consider myself as a jester of sorts - for those who want to listen, I am ready to be a sounding board, providing feed-back that they would not get from those who have a relationship of dependency with them. I am convinced we need to question permanently the way we are looking at issues and avoid thinking that we hold the one and only key to truth.

Bob and Gail Kluge, residents of East Shore Road, have put up a sign on his property expressing support for the Morris Volunteer Fire Department (MVFD).
"We support the MVFD," it says simply—though there's a lot behind that simple declaration.
"We support the MVFD because of the volunteers who provide safety and emergency services in any type of situation," they say. "When the 'siren goes off,' you know these people are prepared if necessary to put their own lives on the line in order to protect each and every resident."
Bob and Gail Kluge are concerned about the ongoing difficulties between the MVFD and the First Selectmen over issues related to ambulance and EMS service in town.
For many years the fire department's trained EMS providers handled ambulance and emergency response calls from 6 p.m. overnight to 6 a.m., and paid providers handled the daytime shift because MVFD volunteers have full-time jobs and can't staff the ambulance around the clock.
As part of the system, the MVFD would give the town almost all the revenue received from ambulance call billing, as a way of offsetting the cost of the paid daytime staff. When the legal agreement on billing revenue ended in May 2016 and a new one could not be negotiated easily with the First Selectmen, tensions began.
In the spring, when the underfunded budget for the additional daytime manpower ran out, the MVFD gave up the PSA for the Town of Morris. A PSA is essentially the formal authorization and responsibility for providing emergency services—in this case ambulance and EMS—in in a particular geographic area of Connecticut.
These days, ambulance service is being provided by Litchfield Ambulance, a situation the MVFD sees as detrimental in many ways.
The MVFD is in the process of filing an application with the state Office of Emergency Management Services (OEMS), asking that the MVFD get the PSA back.
The First Selectmen says he has done what's necessary to support that, but Litchfield Ambulance must also formally support it. Also, no agreement has yet been signed to cover ambulance billing revenue going forward and how the Town and MVFD will work together.
"To our knowledge, the Town of Morris has never had a problem agreeing to a contract with the MVFD," Bob and Gail Kluge say. "This did not become a problem until the current administration took office."
It is the administration, they say, that is responsible for ambulance service being taken out of town to Litchfield, and he questions the Town's actions concerning the ambulance itself, calling it inappropriate that "the Morris ambulance was taken from the MVFD building without the volunteers' knowledge, damaged and put into hiding. … The ambulance belongs to all of the taxpayers in Morris for the benefit of everyone's safety."
As a member of the Economic Development Commission, Bob Kluge says he is also very concerned about how the Town's actions may impact people and businesses thinking about relocating to Morris. "It will certainly affect how they view our town," he says.
The Kluges also fault the Board of Finance, aligned with the First Selectmen, for ensuring the MVFD only has a bare bones budget, while other town departments are not subjected to the same austerity.
Instead, the First Selectmen and finance board should work constructively with the fire department, he says, provide sufficient resources and encourage an environment that would attract new volunteers.
"We support the MVFD members for the rigorous training they go through, as well as the ongoing certification and training throughout their service years," the Kluges say. "Additionally, the fact that they are volunteers and give of their time and service selflessly speaks volumes about their dedication to the town. We urge all residents to support the MVFD—it may be a matter of life and death."
Anyone who wants to talk to Bob Kluge about his views may call him at 860-567-4128.
MVFD Chief Joel Skilton may be reached by email at email@example.com, and Deputy Chief Ken Cast may be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We've been noticing homemade signs showing support for the Morris Volunteer Fire Department (MVFD) being posted by residents on their property.
One of the signs showed up a couple of weeks ago on Todd Hill Road, the work of Kevin Curley, who lives on the corner of Todd Hill and Kenyon Road with his wife and three children.
"We Support MVFD," the sign declares simply.
"It's our family's belief that first responders are a backbone of our community," Kevin Curley says. "In Morris, they're not only the people who come and help us in a time of need but they're also our neighbors and friends."
Kevin says his family is concerned about the tensions between the MVFD and the Town Hall administration, and uncomfortable with the fire department being "seen as some sort of enemy to the town because of a disagreement on financial matters."
The tensions are the result of a complex situation concerning ambulance and EMS service in Morris. For many years the fire department's trained EMS providers handled ambulance and emergency response calls from 6 p.m. overnight to 6 a.m., and paid providers handled the daytime shift because MVFD volunteers have full-time jobs and can't staff the ambulance around the clock.
All the fire department has ever wanted in return for the dedication, time, effort, training and on-call status of its volunteers is for the town to use ambulance billing revenue for taking care of the emergency response equipment and providing training.
These days, ambulance service is being provided by Litchfield Ambulance from its base in Litchfield, a situation the MVFD sees as detrimental in many ways.
The MVFD is in the process of filing an application with the state Office of Emergency Management Services (OEMS), asking that the MVFD once again be given what's called the PSA for the Town of Morris. A PSA is essentially the formal authorization and responsibility for providing emergency services—in this case ambulance and EMS—in in a particular geographic area of Connecticut.
We sent certified letters to the First Selectman and the Chief of Litchfield Ambulance, stating that we need signed letters of support for the MVFD to submit the application. The Morris First Selectman has signed the application, and at this point we are still working to obtain the required letters of support in the proper form in order to make the PSA application complete.
Additionally, and importantly, MVFD officers continue to diligently negotiate with town officials to implement a comprehensive service level agreement between the town and the fire department, which will address the issues that have been on the table and hopefully bring about a more professional working relationship.
Meanwhile, it's heartening to see the Curley family and others publicly expressing support for the MVFD, as well having an accurate understanding of the situation.
"We support our first responders and we want our town to do whatever is necessary for our first responders to be ready and capable," Kevin Curley says. "You need take care of the people who come to your house when it's on fire, your child has been injured or your elderly family member has issues."
In terms of supporting the MVFD, he adds, "This is not an area where we should be extremely frugal. If you don't support them, eventually the community hurts and that is unacceptable to us."
To discuss this issue, email MVFD Chief Joel Skilton at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 860-567-7441. And ask him about becoming a member and joining a terrific "family" of volunteers who happily donate their time, energy and training to make sure everyone in our wonderful small town is safe and secure.

Meet Our MVFD Volunteers: Mark Silver
(MVFD Officers' note: This is the second in a series of posts introducing and showing appreciation for the dedicated men and women who volunteer their time, sweat, and passion as members of the Morris Volunteer Fire Department (MVFD) and Morris EMS. If you see one of the fine folks featured here around town, say hello—and we're sure they'd appreciate a "thank you" also.)
Mark Silver joined the MVFD in 2011, but his inspiration to volunteer goes all the way back to a childhood experience.
His stepmother, Charlotte Silver, was a fire department member many years ago, when Mark was a boy, and it was then he got his first taste of what going on a call was like.
"One of the nights she was babysitting me, she went out on a call and I went with her," Mark remembered of an incident in which a mini bulldozer had hit a telephone pole and the driver of the heavy equipment had gone through the windshield. Alcohol was involved.
Mark recalls sitting in his stepmother's car and being fascinated by the firefighters and the State Police officers, dressed in fine uniforms and calmly dealing with a situation that resulted in the accident victim—not badly injured—being escorted to the police cruiser, and passing close enough by Mark that he could see shards of glass in the accident victim's hair.
"That was quite inspiring," Mark said of the incident—so much so that he would later study law enforcement in college. At the moment, he's in the landscaping business.
"After college I thought it was a good thing to do, helping the town out a bit," Mark said of volunteering for the MVFD. "I've always enjoyed helping people."
In addition to having some training as a firefighter, Mark is an EMR (Emergency Medical Responder), and he plans to become an EMT. His shift on the Morris Volunteer Ambulance was on Sunday evenings.
As part of a disagreement between the MVFD and the First Selectmen over details surrounding local EMS service, there's no ambulance in the Morris Firehouse at the moment. Service is being provided by Litchfield Ambulance.
"Some people don't realize how much the ambulance does around here. It's a very important thing," said Mark, who lives on Deer Island on Bantam Lake and recalls Life Star Helicopter needing to be called for a number of lake incidents.
Not just Morris residents are implicated by the local ambulance service being undermined, Mark said. Referencing a mutual aide situation, he explained, "If Bethlehem needed help, they would have to wait for Litchfield."
In addition to his role as a firefigh
ter and EMR, Mark has a leadership position on the MVFD Nominating Committee. "If you want to be a member of the fire department, you have to go through me," said Mark, who has been on the three-member committee for four years.
"We're always looking for more members," he added, mentioning a new volunteer who joined in part to be a member of the Dive Team. "You give what time you have," Mark said.
We're always looking for more volunteers like Mark. To join our "family," email MVFD President Kevin DeRoehn at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 860-567-7441 to learn more about becoming a member.
(MVFD Officers' note: This is the first in a series of posts introducing and showing appreciation for the dedicated men and women who volunteer their time, sweat, and passion as members of the Morris Volunteer Fire Department and Morris EMS. If you see one of the fine folks featured here around town, say hello—and we're sure they'd appreciate a "thank you" also.)
Katelyn Shemms is a MVFD all-star.
A member for approximately 5 years, she's a full-time nursing student at Porter & Chester Institute, she has two jobs, helps care for family members—and is one of our most dedicated volunteers.
"Helping people is my thing," says Katelyn, a certified EMR (Emergency Medical Responder) who is trained in CPR and First-Aid. Her mother, grandmother and an aunt are all nurses, so helping people runs in the family.
On the EMS side of the MVFD, Katelyn had regular shifts driving the ambulance during the Monday and Wednesday 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. shifts. Even when she wasn't on the schedule, she's the kind of volunteer who would happily get out of bed in the middle of the night to respond to even a minor situation.
A true team player, who helps Fire Chief Joel Skilton and other officers with presentations on fire prevention and public safety, Katelyn has done National Incident Management System (NIMS) training and she has the Q endorsement on her Connecticut license, which means she's qualified to operate fire apparatus.
"I like driving big trucks," she says. (Who doesn't?)
She hasn't been driving the ambulance lately, however, and that troubles her on multiple levels. As part of a disagreement between the MVFD and the First Selectmen over details surrounding local EMS service, there's no ambulance in the Morris Firehouse at the moment. Service is being provided by Litchfield Ambulance.
"I feel lost without the ambulance," says Katelyn, who is concerned about the public safety aspects of not having an ambulance in town, especially in the summer when activity at Bantam Lake reaches its annual peak, and when there are three active camps in town, one offered by Morris Beach & Recreation, and Camp Awosting and Camp Washington.
Sooner than many families might want, the new school year will start, and while James Morris School is adjacent to the firehouse, ambulance and EMS service for students and staff is much farther away than it used to be—and farther away than it should be, says Katelyn, who expresses hope the MVFD and town leadership will work out their issues and bring back local EMS and ambulance service.
"This is my second home," Katelyn says of the MVFD. We truly value that level of dedication, and we hope it's also valued by residents of Morris and visitors, who are safer and more secure because of the service provided by Katelyn and all of our volunteers.
We're always looking for more volunteers like Katelyn. To join our "family," email MVFD President Kevin DeRoehn at email@example.com or call 860-567-7441 to learn more about becoming a member.

Well, if you push enough buttons, you're liable to fix something. I've been working for the past several weeks to get some pictures posted from our trip to Israel. Somehow today it's working. So...
Here's my favorite picture of the trip. If you've ever had anything to do with Gene Getz, you'll know he's the most humble man alive. But did you know he was humble enough to smear Dead Sea mud all over himself and pose for 50 pictures? He did.
This is the Mt. of Beatitudes, taken from the Sea of Galilee. The Sea of Galilee was Kari's favorite place on the trip. It remains relatively untouched by modern civilization. Only one city, Tiberius, can be seen on its banks, which gives the view a very authentic feel. One evening while we were there it got very windy, and the waves got pretty big. I could sympathize with the disciples - I would have been pretty nervous if someone had come walking to me on the water.
The Treasury Building at Petra. No, they didn't really keep money there. It was a burial cave for a king. And before you ask, yes I looked inside - I didn't see the Holy Grail.
This is me with my angel in the shepherds fields with Bethlehem in the background. I tried to get her to sing something angelic, but she was afraid she'd scare the sheep.
That's all for now. I had one more picture I wanted to post, but for some reason the upload isn't working again. So, I'll be happy for what I got uploaded, and post the other one when blogger commits.
Israel photos.

I don't have kids, but I have introduced mbti to the teenagers amongst my honorary nieces and nephews (the actual nieces and nephews have been too young) in the form of those humorous 'brutally accurate' personality profiles, while explicitly telling them all of the above. Some of them were curious enough to do a little bit of further reading, but with a full understanding of its limitations.
User Tag List

i have temp-typed my son (ENFJ) but, its fairly early, and i take it with a bucket of salt.
i think MBTI is useful for inter personal relations, but potentially destructive as a form of identity. as such, i would rather dodge the typology frame altogether, and instead explain the derivatives.
for example, he might not understand why certain things are obvious for him [Ni] while his teacher [Si] doesn't get it, i would rather explain, "your really good at this and that, but other people aren't", then let him grow thinking he's crazy. he might not understand why other kids stand their grounds [Fi] while for him its clear its just making his peers upset [Fe], and i can try to explain to him what it is that the other kid was going through.
on the other hand, i think he is much better off finding the depths of who he is for himself without wearing an MBTI on his mental identity badge.
I typed my daughter (mentally- I didn't talk to her about it) as a young child as an ENFP. As she navigates adolescence she is pretty clearly growing into an introversion that in retrospect was always there, just masked by childlike chatter and friendly openness.
My son seemed ESTPish early on but as he gets older seems more and more xNTP. Not sure about his intro/extroversion- he's not energized by people or being alone, really- he seems to like people and being alone just about equally, almost to the point of not caring- but he does seem to "consume" the world in an outwardly-directed way. Learn ALL THE THINGS! Which feels kind of extroverted to me. He's definitely not a navel-gazer.
I typed my kids very early in life. It's not easy for some kids, it will take longer for them. (My INTP, I was debating INTP/INFP on him until he was 5-6, when it became clear he preferred the detached logical and he was at an age when I could hear enough of his reasoning.) I suspected my younger son was ESFP shortly after his birth (just a hunch) and that was always the case with him, almost to a cliched degree.
I adopted my daughter at age 4, so she was older. I suspected IFJ, but leaned N on her, and that's where she's gone.
I never really talked about MBTI to my kids, but my INTP came to me a month or two ago and brought it up to ME -- apparently at college orientation/visiting, he ran into another IxTx type who rambled on and on about function theory to him, so he asked me if I had ever heard of it. That was pretty hilarious... yes, I have. So I saturated his brain."Hey Capa -- We're only stardust." ~ "Sunshine"
"Pleasure to me is wonder—the unexplored, the unexpected, the thing that is hidden and the changeless thing that lurks behind superficial mutability. To trace the remote in the immediate; the eternal in the ephemeral; the past in the present; the infinite in the finite; these are to me the springs of delight and beauty." ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Yes I have. I've got a middle school dtr that is xNFP, a 3rd grade son who is ESxP (I think F), & a 1st grade ISxJ, who is very rule-oriented but needs to be flexible due to birth order. It's fun to see them develop!

Buut, it sounds like I only really went up to adults to talk; I don't think I was uber-engaging with kids my age... my mom says in pre-school I liked playing alone and had to be taught to share toys."...On and on and on and on he strode, far out over the sands, singing wildly to the sea, crying to greet the advent of the life that had cried to him." - James Joyce

I think around 12 is when I start typing kids. I feel like that's when they really develop something other than I or E/ P or J. They get a second function, which sheds light on their first function, and assert their individuality a bit more without the complications of third functions or a lot of life experience.06/13 10:51:03 five sounds: you!!!

My Nohari
My Johari
by sns.
he was born premature in Johns Hopkins in Baltimore MD, and spend the first, oh 8-12 weeks of his life there recuperating from surgery. Literally from the day he was born, the entire nursing staff fell in love with him. He was an extremely happy, magnetic, and "good vibe" baby. He was engaging and active. The nurses would of course take care of all the patients, but they would also blow off their breaktime to come be with him. I mean, the kid is there inside a plastic incubator machine, and it wasn't just, "Aw, nice baby," it was literally "people magnet." Everyone LOVED/gushed over him. I was pretty inured to such things, and even I could feel the pull.
So that was my GUESS at that point, but I needed confirmation over his development. Nothing ever changed. Very loud, very extroverted, always getting into things, had to experience them to understand them, not over-cerebral, very engaging, his colors are yellow and orange (the brightest ones possible), always laughing and having fun, very passionately without any real detachment, very expressive of his emotions in any situation and without care or wanting to hide them. It was all on the surface with him.
When he was three, we took him to the park and he would befriend every kid in the park. We'd go home, and he'd want to invite his "friend" over. "Who's that? That boy you met? What's his name?" "I don't know! But he's my friend!" He would steal the friends away from our other children over the years. You know that phrase, "A stranger is just a friend you haven't met"? That is an ESFP thing, and that is our son.
When he was 5 and his brother was 6 -- and his brother was a foot taller than him -- the INTP would be on the verge of tears having to go to a new Sunday school class, so we would send him with his brother instead. This little kid, leading the big kid, and plunging into this new environment and making friends with everyone almost immediately.
I could go on, but when he was in the 1-12 year old range, they could have written the cliche textbook description of ESFP from him.
Anyway, as a baby, the EF qualities seemed obvious, and he was so pleasant and happy (rather than battling) it seemed that P was probable, and he was also very very sensory oriented. It was a guess, but a good one.
I think it is harder to type introverted children. So much of their main processes are under the surface and you have to draw them out.
I think later in life people deepen and expand. He's more to himself and pensive than before. Then again, he's been through a lot, he deals with an issue that can put him at odds with people he is around, etc. Sometimes our kids might seem to change, but then again, it's just like typing adults -- many of us are not cliches, we're textured; and we have also expanded ourselves into areas that aren't necessarily our original preferences. Is a child that seemed introverted actually extroverted because they now have developed enough social skills to be comfortable in social settings, and can engage in new ways? Is a child who is sensory by nature now suddenly intuitive because they realize there's connections between things in the world and want to explore those things? Those can be complicated questions to answer, and sometimes just demand a "look and see" response.
(I've had people try to tell me nowadays I am an extrovert because of how I engage people, but I know that's not correct -- it's just that I finally feel comfortable and competent enough to engage, but the preferences and detachment and energy drain is still occurring under the surface, and those who expect me to be extroverted then become disappointed or shocked when I slip back into introverted behavior. )
I think typing young kids can be fraught with mistakes, and I think people have to take care not to force their kids into something just because "you think you know what type they are." Our son always had freedom to just be himself. I'm simply answering the question that was asked; in my situation, the typings did not really waver. But I had no idea whether they would or not until after it was all said and done."Hey Capa -- We're only stardust." ~ "Sunshine"
"Pleasure to me is wonder—the unexplored, the unexpected, the thing that is hidden and the changeless thing that lurks behind superficial mutability. To trace the remote in the immediate; the eternal in the ephemeral; the past in the present; the infinite in the finite; these are to me the springs of delight and beauty." ~ H.P. Lovecraft
I think that MBTI is good when it is descriptive. It's not different than other descriptive language. A positive (or negative) trait can also be negative (or positive); shy as a description can good or bad, even sexy or unflattering, depending on context. MBTI isn't context free either, so you get a bit of loaded language in there. It's the use that matters.

I know that so many of you have been dealing with extreme heat just like we have and I'm completely sick of it...
I'm sick of the noise in my house with the air conditioner running all the time.
I'm sick of menu planning and trying to determine which meals will create the least amount of heat in my house.
I'm sick of running in and out of the garage door as fast as I can so the scorching heat in the garage doesn't make it's way into our house!
I'm sick of worrying about Bogey being outside and whether he's drinking enough to stay hydrated. Thankfully we have a deck he can lay under, his kiddie swimming pool, another huge tub of water, and his regular water bowl. I think tonight once the sun goes down we'll break out the water hose for some cool down.
I'm sick of sweating on my entire drive home from work because the a/c just can't overcome the ridiculous heat from sitting out in the sun all day.
I'm sick of not being able to work outside until the end of the day.
I'm sick of eating dinner, watching tv, and spending time in our house with all the lights turned off just to try and prevent more heat from being trapped in our house!
Ok, ok, enough with the complaining & whining. I know that things could be so much worse...
I'm thankful to have an air conditioner that as of now has been incredibly good to us (fingers crossed!)
I'm thankful to have enough money to put good meals on our table...even if it means heating up the house just a little bit.
I'm thankful to have a wonderful house to come home to where Hubby & I can escape the heat.
I'm thankful for the resources to take care of our precious furry son, Bogey. While I'm certain he's hot, I'm thankful for the joy he brings us each day.
I'm thankful for a reliable, working car that takes me to and from work each day...with an air conditioner that tries all it can to keep me cool!
I'm thankful for the few short moments at the end of the day when Hubby & I can water plants or play with Bogey.
And most of all, I'm thankful that our resources will be more than enough to cover those extra large electricity & water bills that will start rolling in in a few months.
Things could certainly be so much worse...but I certainly don't have to enjoy it!

So. Last we left off (I think) I was panicking about home renovations and every single thing seems to hinge on some other thing getting done. I don't think I mentioned it here, but shortly after that we decided we'd focus our efforts (I say that like I'm involved) on the master bedroom — because once it's done we can move out of our current room, M and her stuff can move in, and the nursery will be free for its own decoration and organization. And Matt can get back to the bathroom and other winterizing duties while I handle the bedrooms, so stuff will get done.
The master bedroom doesn't actually require that much work in the grand scheme of things. As a refresher, this is what it looked like when we moved in:
Ugly as sin, but functional-ish. We've actually never used it, though. We thought it'd be an office, but it became a repository for all of our random boxes and junk when things took longer than we expected to set up before M was born, and that's how it stayed for the last… three years.
The slight expansion in the bathroom meant that the former door to what will now be the master bedroom got swallowed up. Step one — frame a new wall and door. My dad did that maybe a month ago. Then they drywalled. Then Matt ripped out the old closet (that terrifying black and white abomination above), and turned the part with the yellow-green paint and the shelves into the new closet with framing and drywall and a header. Then he pulled up all of the laminate to see what was worth covering up original hardwood with the cheapest and ugliest laminate known to mankind. This is what we found:
Between Matt, my dad, and myself, we all agreed that even this rough, half-unfinished original floor is better than the laminate. There are places where someone stupidly put down screws to try to stop squeaks, so the plan is to pull those and fill the holes. We are not refinishing the floor now, though — that'll be a warmer weather endeavour. The goal for now is to just clean it up and tread carefully. That also means we'll likely be leaving baseboard trim out of the equation until the future, but whatever. Trim is a problem in basically every room of our home so it's nothing new.
Next — those wood wall shelves, gone. It's not done yet but it should be a very minor job. The rest of the drywall has to go up, and be mudded and taped and sanded, and there are a few other rough areas on the walls that could use some putty, I think. Then primer, and paint, and possibly a ceiling fix, though I'm not sure if that's on the books for now, or later — it's a popcorn ceiling that has shifted badly, and the plan is to beadboard it.
That takes care of most of the structural stuff (like I said, floors, ceilings, and trim are kind of up in the air right now). Matt wants to custom-build the closet fixtures so we'll see how long that takes — I have a wardrobe rack to pinch hit for now, depending on the timeline. We'll need a closet door, which is its own can of worms, but again — the goal is to just get moved in. I'd like to switch out the light fixture, find night stands, and put up a shade for the window, along with hanging art. Little by little.
So that's where we're at — I think it will be moving quickly once the drywall is up, and then I can finally breathe again!

|Fred Couples at the 1992 Open
Watching the Masters Golf tournament at the weekend, I was astonished to see how well Fred Couples was playing. He's been off the radar for quite a while, probably because he now qualifies for and plays on the 'Seniors tour', but he's always been a favourite of mine, probably because for 40 years of my professional life, and despite being asked how my name was spelt, everybody would spell it 'Couples' anyway.
Couples is a terrifically popular golfer and for a couple of decades was the pro most amateurs said they would prefer to play a round with. Tiger Woods has obviously taken that accolade now and I suspect that his stories of 'off green' activities hasn't diminished his appeal one iota. But Fred was always the fans' favourite.
I remember Couples was playing in the British Open at Muirfield quite a few years back (1992 actually) and I was watching his progress with some interest, not just because I followed him as a golfer but also because I'd actually played both courses and the courses were familiar to me.
Couples was in contention for the Open but then his wife was reported to have 'hit a bar' in the town, had drunk quite a bit and then had started stripping off whilst dancing on a table in the bar. Couples game went to pot after that and he did not win. Rumour has it that he deliberately played badly so he could go home and get away from the missus, which he did.
And it was during this time when his popularity was at its height when I went to play a round of golf with my mates. The course was out Beaconsfield way and we headed off into the restaurant for lunch prior to playing.
Lunch was ordered at a counter where you paid up-front and then you gave your name on the basis that the waitress would bring your food to you when it was ready.
'What's your name', she asked. 'Cupples', I said. There wasn't even a flicker of name recognition – she didn't even look up from the counter to see if it was the famous golfer standing there but I distinctly saw her write it as 'Couples'. 'First name', she asked. 'Fred', I lied. Still not a flicker of adulation.
About 20 minutes later, she was wandering around the restaurant with my lunch on a tray, shouting, 'Fred Couples, lunch for Fred Couples'.
My mates were in stitches. The rest of the restaurant was in apoplexy – was he really there in their golf club?

The Tide Is Turning
Nine minutes ago, the house felt way too small. I grimaced as I picked up shoes and stirred from sleep as late-nighters "tip-toed" up the back stairs.
Eight minutes ago I wondered if the furniture would survive the summer, what with the flopping down and the wrestling and the sheer physicality of youth.
Seven minutes ago I spent almost $300 at the grocery store and less than 24 hours heard a Boy say, "Isn't there anything to eat around here?"
Six minutes ago I made a list of things I was going to accomplish while I commanded the muscles of all these manly men to tote and carry--I'd finish the rock patio! We'd spiffy up the basement entry!
Five minutes ago I tore up the manly to-do list and made a gazillion cupcakes instead.
Four minutes ago I wiped away a tear that escaped when my family once again filled an entire pew at church.
Three minutes ago I remembered I STILL hadn't upholstered the rocker Boy#3 wants for his new apartment, and that time was growing short to get everything done.
Two minutes ago the tide of packing boxes showed up in the living room again, this time on their way to three different states. I tried to count how many times we've watched this here-they-come-and-there-they-go progression, and reminded myself of Boy#1's reaction when I asked him if he felt like he'd arrived home when he got back to Washington: "No," he said, "D.C. is someplace familiar that I love, but home is home."
One minute ago I realized how quickly time moves and that summer is over. I'm going to be missing the Boys again now that we're nearing low tide. I'm just glad home is home, and that in a few minutes the tide will come in again.

This is a rush transcript from "On the Record," June 1, 2011. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: South Carolina's Nikki Haley, the governor is taking on Secretary Napolitano. Why? In South Carolina some businesses use E-verify to review workers immigration status. Governor Haley wants state officials to check up on businesses to make sure they are complying. The DHS says no. Governor Haley sent a harsh letter to Secretary Napolitano to push her to permit state investigators to access the e-verify documents. Governor Nikki Haley joins us now. Good evening, Governor.
GOV. NIKKI HALEY, R-S.C.: Hi, Greta, how are you?
VAN SUSTEREN: I'm very well. I have a copy of this letter that you sent to Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano. In the first paragraph you make it clear you tried to contact her a number of times. You say you are disappointed she not responding. What's up?
HALEY: I think she owes me a response. My labor secretary was told the end of April we could not enforce our legal immigration laws. We got on the phone with secretary Napolitano's office. We've repeatedly made phone calls, and the Obama administration did not respond.
So I sent a letter and went public Friday and said we have immigration laws for a reason South Carolina takes illegal immigration seriously let us enforce our laws. We to use this E-verify system, and I need the federal government to get out of the way. They have gotten in the way when it comes to health care, unions, and which companies can create jobs in South Carolina. Now they are getting in the way with the fact that I'm trying to govern a state, enforce illegal immigration, and they are keeping me from doing it. It has to stop and I'm calling them out on it.
VAN SUSTEREN: Also in Arizona another immigration law, the way they fought Arizona whether it is constitutional or not will be determined by the Supreme Court. They said immigration was a national issue. And they very much wanted Arizona to get out of it. To the extent they are not helping you enforce their law is curious.
HALEY: President Obama is saying he's taking illegal immigration seriously. But it's his administration that is stopping us from enforcing it. And saying one thing and doing another is the problem we've had with this administration in the beginning.
I'm trying to govern a state and manage my state and lead it in a positive direction. He continues to stop it every step of the way when it comes to good policy. We are not going to be quiet about it. This is something we take seriously in South Carolina. I'm going to be loud about it. I need to enforce legal immigrants in South Carolina and make sure our businesses are handling that accordingly. They owe South Carolina a response as to why they are keeping us from doing that.
VAN SUSTEREN: Besides the issue of whether it is against the law or not, why does it make a difference to you as governor if there are the -- if there are illegal workers in the state? What is the real impact on South Carolina now?
HALEY: Well, you have to go back to the heart of the principle of this country. I'm the daughter of immigrant parents. They came here legally. They paid their time, they paid their price. They are offended by those that come here illegally.
We are a country of laws. When we give up being a country of laws we are giving up everything this country is founded on. We have to make sure people come here properly. That our businesses are hiring citizens are making sure they have work visas. We cannot allow any illegal immigrants in our state or country. We have to stand behind what we say. We have to enforce it. That's what my labor secretary is trying to do. That's what my administration has required her to do. And that's what President Obama is stopping.
VAN SUSTEREN: It seems there are two issues. One, you ought to be able to communicate with the federal government on an issue like this. Secretary Napolitano and the administration should get back to you. I see in your letter it is replete with examples of what you tried to do. Second, you want to use this e-verify system to check up on businesses. Do you not have other means to do that?
HALEY: E-verify is a credible way of checking for verification for illegal immigrants. Let's be clear. I'm not asking for date of birth. I'm not asking for numbers or identifying that would compromise these people. What we would are saying is show us the e-verify summary for last name only if you tell me you hired Douglas Walker and Smith, show me the summary sheet that says you e-verified them.
And that's what Homeland Security is not allowing. That guess to the heart of making sure businesses are doing what we tell them to do. That's why immigration reform is important, not just in South Carolina, but across this country, because, we are forced to pay for the education of these illegal immigrants, forced to pay for health care through the federal mandates. We can't continue to pay for something we don't want. We are to allow us to enforce the issues so we can have them go somewhere else and not in South Carolina.
VAN SUSTEREN: Does the Department of Homeland Security make sure they are legal or illegal? Are they checking up on this?
HALEY: They are not. We haven't heard anything from them. After I made my comments Friday and made repeated calls many we sent this letter. And suddenly Secretary Napolitano says she would call us back tomorrow. We are glad she is going to do that. Either way we have to make sure states have the ability to enforce their laws. None of the states would have to do this if the federal government was doing their job in securing the borders.
VAN SUSTEREN: I take it you are not going to give up?
HALEY: I am never going to give up.
VAN SUSTEREN: Thank you. I look forward to finding out how your telephone call is with Secretary Napolitano. I hope she calls tomorrow.
HALEY: Thank you.
VAN SUSTEREN: Thank you, governor.

Thought it was about time for a post-Christmas update, mainly because in ten minutes Kristy will stick her head up and go "You haven't done a blog in ages!" (Kristy, do some work.)
Yay for being back at work! (But not really.) It is cold and annoying, but it's a familiar kind of cold and annoying.
Our department somehow shares air conditioning with the equipment management department, who spend all day running round throwing eftpos machines at each other (or something) and so need to have the aircon at an inhumanly cold level so they don't get too hot and, I don't know, explode. This means that we poor salespeople, sitting here motionless at our desks for 8 hours a day, are constantly in Arctic temperatures and have to wear our jackets inside, in the summer. Our previous boss tried to stop us complaining by saying "See, in the winter it's warmer than outside, and in the summer it's cooler than outside, so it's always comfortable!" Freak.
I had a nice Christmas. Did you have a nice Christmas? I went to Nelson and did pretty much nothing for four days except eat and drink and read and smoke and sit in the sun. Interestingly enough (depending on your definition of interesting), I have done nothing but vomit since returning to Wellington. I think I have an allergy. It is lucky that I am moving. (Moving Countdown: (not the supermarket, although when I think about what a mission that would be it makes me feel a lot better about moving house – imagine moving into Countdown, how much would that rock – no, actually, the Warehouse would be way better because you could sleep in the Manchester section – they should combine the two and lease it out – anyway!) Moving Countdown has 5 days to go. Have abandoned 'get organised, find movers, neatly pack and label boxes' plan and am now going with 'throw out everything inessential, forget to book ferry until last minute, sleep in and have to run to taxi stand whilst digging through pockets in the frantic hope of finding enough change to make it to the ferry terminal' plan, which if we're being honest was always the more likely plan anyway.)
Someone's phone rang before, startling us all, and she answered it with a cheery "Thank God, it's not work-related!" Which I think sums up how all of us are feeling about work today.
I am trying to think of places to go and buy a coffee. Why do cafes get to close from Dec 24 to about Jan 5? Why do I not get to close?
Oh go away, boss, I am trying to slack off and you are interrupting me. Leave me in peace to finish my in-depth analysis of why my love life is comparable to Napoleon's invasion of Russia. (They both failed miserably, in case you were wondering. No-one's written an overture about my love life yet, but then it is early days.)

Polka-dot Passion, Polka-dot Crash
Well, welcome back! I've been out of commission, recovering from the holidays (the needed holiday from the holiday). I have some outfits to share with some great photos in the next few weeks, but first I want to write about something that happened this week.
I have found that polka-dots make me happy.
I got this top from ASOS Curve, Exclusive Soft Peplum Top in Navy and White Spot, Size 22, $35.18 and LOVED how it looked on me! I got compliments (from others as well as from myself :)), and felt pretty awesome in it. Although I don't like the colors quite as much, I am going to get the Oxblood and Black version as well.
I have this sweater, CityChic's Cute Polka Dot Cardi, Item Code: 67153, Size 24, $54.00. Darling! I'm just itching to put it on. Right now, my closet is in a state of disarray as I rearrange to get more organized, but this sweater is calling to me. I hope I love it as much as I did the ASOS Curve top.
On that Rochester, NY, trip, I found some cute and comfy microfiber black and white polka-dot panties at the Eastview Mall Lane Bryant. I bought all they had in my size. If I could find them on-line, I'd get more. I'll hit our mall to see if there are some at its store.
I have some cute red and white polka-dot pajamas from Cacique to pick up at my local Catherine's. It's driving me nuts because I haven't been able to get out there since they came in.
Is it possible not to use the word "cute" to describe polka-dots?
Yes, because here's what happened.
I was SO excited about this pair of polka-dotted jeans I ordered from Woman Within last week.
I suppose subconsciously I knew that I was living dangerously, to order polka-dots in bottoms, but I was feeling so great about how comfortable I was becoming in my own skin and with my image in the mirror and photos that I must have put that out of my mind. The jeans came and I put them on the first day, which was Friday. They felt great! They were going to look great! I went to the mirror and…
Aw, crap.
There it was – my stomach. My hips. The way my stomach makes an upside-down heart shape when the jeans aren't made a certain way. And polka-dots made it all over-obvious.
Aw, crap. And I cared.
Crash. Boom. Bang.
Sink. Sank. Sunk.
I don't blame the jeans. And THAT is the problem – that I don't blame the jeans. I should definitely be blaming the jeans, and the jeans' maker. I know I could return them, but that's such a pain, and it would seem like complete defeat.
So, I changed tops several times until I was satisfied with the outfit, and I think I know how I will wear them in the future. The jeans should be skinny jeans, too. Maybe I'll track down my sewing machine and make them into skinny jeans. I'm going to beat these jeans into submission.
But, I feel like I'm back to square one, or at least square two, of clothing-wearing confidence. 😦 So, if you would, please share in the comments your experience or words of wisdom on the topics (polka-dots, confidence-regression, stupid clothing and the like, oh – and making straight-legged jeans into skinny jeans).
POLKA-DOT PASSION, POLKA-DOT CRASH SUPPLEMENTAL: I think I may have brainstormed the answer. Spanx! Stay tuned.


text: We have been watching every episode this year and only when Sanjaya first auditioned I thought he was a good singer, not so much anymore:roll_eyes:. I wonder what the other people (the ones that have been voted off) think about Sanjaya. Do you think he might win because people are just voting for him as a joke? If so, i think the show is ruined for the future because it will have no validity.
