Review and Giveaway: Proverbs Parenting Toolkit!
Large families always inspire me. Partly because I hope to have one someday (call me strange, but I still don't consider 4 children as large, it is definitely a growing family, but 6 and up are what I always think of as a large family). And partly because I honestly do not know how they do it all. But I've come to realize something.
God gives us the strength to accomplish something when we need it.
I think that is part of trusting the Lord, we desire to do different things, (like homeschool our children, or have large families) but we have no clue how to go about doing so! But if we only wait and trust the Lord, HE WILL give us the strength at the moments we need them. Frankly, I thought I would fall apart when my Mother died. The peace that has been given me at times is sweet and only from my gracious God. Yes, the grief is there. The tears do flow. But the Lord is upholding me in His arms, and walking before me in these days of trials.
One large family that I have always admired from a distance is the Rick and Marilyn Boyer family. They seem to be a family with smiles always on their faces, and the joy of the Lord in their hearts. What is their secret in raising their family? Well, it appears that one thing they do consistently is get the word of God in their children's hearts.
They have a great company called The Learning Parent. I love the name, because I think if we as parents will just keep learning (or in cases relearn some things) then we can pass it on to our children.
One great item that they sell is the Proverbs Parenting Toolkit. This is an awesome kit they have put together, to help parents like me! I had the desire on my heart to start studying out the Proverbs with my children, but I really need study guides to help me get the most out of what we are reading.
The main part of the Proverbs Toolkit is the Proverbs People book. This is a practical workbook of character studies from the Book of Proverbs. You will study out the character qualities of:
Slothful vs. Diligent
Righteous vs. Wicked
The Five Fools
The Wise Man
The Prudent Man
Liar vs. Faithful Witness
Let me tell you, I have seen results using just this one book! We dived right into the slothful vs. diligent study, because who doesn't deal with that when you have little ones around? I was astounded at the results. My oldest, who is 6 listened intently to everything we read. At the end of the scripture study, there is a story that includes the example of the character quality you are reading about. After finishing up the story, we went on in our day to do various things, when I looked around and didn't see Mosiah anywhere. I called for him, and he said he was upstairs cleaning his room because he didn't want to be a sluggard! Talk about quick results! I was thrilled, and I still have seen him work harder at keeping his room clean weeks later.
In the kit are:
two Proverbs People books,
Pictures from Proverbs Set 1 and 2-In each set are 18 large flashcards which deal with a different topic from Proverbs. The front side shows an illustration and asks a question. The back side gives the answer, and an explanation of the verse.
Daily Wisdom from Proverbs-This set has 82 verses ready for you and your children to memorize!
Proverbs Flashcards-These flashcards are not fancy at all, but they really work in helping your child learn the Proverbs!
Uncle Rick reads the proverbs-I really liked this and so did my children! Uncle Rick reads through several verses of the proverbs at a time, then stops and explains it, just like he does to his own children!
Proverbs Memory Cd-This is the book of proverbs read straight through, King James Version.
Pictures in Proverbs Coloring Book-This coloring book has pictures that go along with Proverbs people 1 and 2 books. Your children will color pictures that match the character quality they are learning.
Proverbs for Preschoolers-This is a really neat workbook that you can use to teach your preschool age children their ABC's while presenting God's word at the same time!
Proverbs, God's Character Curriculum-A talk from Rick Boyer that is a practical application for teaching the Book of Proverbs to your own children.
If you are struggling with your child's character, I would strongly suggest getting this program and using it! I think you will be surprised with the results!

Dear Year 5 Parents/ Carers,
We are starting the Summer Term with our new, Science based, topic 'Round and Round' which is all about Lifecycles of plants, animals and humans. We will be showing a DVD on growing up and puberty. We will give details on this subject nearer the time.
Our visit to the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth will be a fascinating insight into the world of marine life including an interactive workshop on 'Our Magical Seas' as well as a Science show on 'Our Blue Planet'. The Lifecycle theme will continue with a visit from a local ceramic artist, Angelique Medland, who will be helping the children to design, create and make a Lifecycle totem sculpture out of clay, with each child contributing a section. The finished sculpture will be proudly situated within the school grounds.
Our last two topics will be a geography based topic, 'The World is our Oyster' and a history based topic, 'Rites and Rituals' which involves learning about the Ancient Civilisation of the Mayans. To complement our geography and survival theme in the first topic, the children will learning map reading and compass skills as part of an orienteering activity at 'Outdoor Adventure' on the 22nd May. More details will follow. In July, we have a beach safety day organised by 'Adventure International'.
Welcome back and Happy New Year to you all!
In the Spring Term, our first topic is Fever, Fire and Fashion which is humanities based. This is centred on The Stuart Period focusing on The Plague, The Fire of London and Fashions of that era. We have invited a historical re-enactment group to bring to life some of the features of this dramatic historical time. In Science, we will be exploring changing states of solids, liquids and gases.
In the second half of this term, our topic is called 'Our Commonwealth'. We will be studying the commonwealth countries and their values as well as looking at myths from other cultures. A local Steel Band will be visiting to run a workshop in conjunction with our Commonwealth countries studies. At the end of this project, we would very much like to host a Commonwealth Day in order to share music, food and the children's work on Commonwealth cultures.
We will be continuing with our daily reading homework and the online Abacus Maths homework which supports our learning in class.
Thank you for your continuing support.

I know i'm always busy sorry and
We don't even see each other much hardly
It never stopped me from girl thinkin bout your body
Swear to god, she's so sexy.
Thinkin to myself the lord must've blessed me many times
I wrote many verses girl, many lines about you & me,
Us together intertwined.

When our future looked brighter than casino lights lit on the strip
In the bed you shocked me, bit on your lip
Sex was tighter than a leather outfit on a gimp
Was our feelins supposed to disappear the minute we kept, lost
Started out on a good foot then we eventually stepped off
Or is it just troubles that couples go through?
Mad on the phone can't hang up
But i'm hung up on you
Give me a call

Is it possible to have love within this relationship?
Cause now that i got the time

Decided: February 17, 1970.
STATE OF NEW JERSEY, PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT,v.ROGER KIMBROUGH AND JAMES WADE, DEFENDANTS-APPELLANTS
Conford, Collester and Kolovsky. The opinion of the court was delivered by Collester, J.A.D.
[109 NJSuper Page 61] Defendants appeal from convictions following a jury trial on an indictment charging them with knowingly receiving a stolen automobile contrary to N.J.S.A. 2A:139-1. The indictment and trial of defendants was prior to State v. Bott , 53 N.J. 391 (1969), which held that a charge of receiving a stolen motor vehicle should be prosecuted for violation of N.J.S.A. 2A:139-3, a statute which does not include the evidentiary
[109 NJSuper Page 62]
rule (set forth in N.J.S.A. 2A:139-1) relating to the inferences of guilty knowledge to be drawn from possession of a stolen article within a year after the theft. While the indictment under N.J.S.A. 2A:139-1 was technically objectionable, it is not a ground for reversal. Ibid. , at 402-43. However, since the case was prosecuted under N.J.S.A. 2A:139-1 we are considering it on that basis.
The State's evidence, in brief, was that shortly after midnight of July 11, 1967 police officers observed a stolen car heading east on South Orange Avenue in Newark. Two police cars took up pursuit. The car stopped on South 11th Street and as one of the officers left his patrol car and approached on foot it sped away. The second patrol car followed and the fleeing vehicle stopped when it struck a curb trying to negotiate a turn at South 12th Street. Officer Minovich said he saw two men run from the car. A short time later the defendants were found hiding in the cellar of a nearby house. Officer Colalillo, who had approached the car on foot at South 11th Street, identified defendants at the trial as the two men he saw in the car. He said Wade was the driver and Kimbrough was a passenger.
Defendants denied the crime charged. They testified they were passengers in the car which was driven by a man named Glenn and that they had no knowledge the car had been stolen until Glenn so advised them while the car was being pursued by the police. Kimbrough said he met Glenn at the Park Lounge bar earlier in the evening and became a passenger in the car when Glenn offered to drive him to South Orange. Wade testified he met Kimbrough and Glenn outside the Park Lounge and entered the car when Glenn agreed to drive him to the Glitter Club, another Newark bar. Both defendants said they ran away after the car struck the curb because they were afraid they would be charged with stealing it.
They testified that after their arrest they told the police that Glenn was the driver. This was denied by the police, who said Wade told them Kimbrough was driving the car.
[109 NJSuper Page 63]
Defendants contend the trial court erred when it refused to instruct the jury as to the meaning of the word "possession," within contemplation of N.J.S.A. 2A:139-1, necessary to give rise to the inference of guilty knowledge provided for in the statute, particularly since it is undisputed that a driver-passenger relationship was involved. Their defense was that they were merely passengers in a stolen car driven and possessed by Glenn, while the State contended there was no third party in the car but that Wade was the driver and Kimbrough the sole passenger. They argue that under either version of the facts the court erred when it refused to definitively instruct the jury as to the meaning of possession within contemplation of the statute or to inform the jury that there is a distinction regarding what constitutes possession as between the driver of an automobile and a mere passenger.
The State concedes that the court did not expressly define the term "possession" necessary to trigger the statutory inference of guilty knowledge. However, it argues that the charge adequately apprised the jury of the applicable law, particularly since the court charged the jury that if it believed the explanation given by defendants was reasonable, they were to be acquitted.
In charging the jury the trial judge read N.J.S.A. 2A:139-1 in its entirety. In doing so he advised the jury that proof of possession of a stolen motor vehicle within a year from the date of the theft was sufficient evidence to authorize conviction of the defendants unless they proved to the jury's satisfaction that their possession arose under one of the five examples innocent acquisition described in the statute and that "the statute does not preclude a defendant from presenting other defenses or explanations as to his or their possession of the alleged stolen property." He also told the jury that "the statute creates a permissive presumption of guilty knowledge on the part of the defendant from the mere possession of the stolen goods within the specified period."
[109 NJSuper Page 64]
The crime of receiving stolen property under N.J.S.A. 2A:139-1 requires proof of three things to establish guilt: (1) the property was stolen, (2) the accused received it, and (3) at the time he received it, he knew it was stolen. "Receiving" envisages possession or control as an essential element. State v. Bozeyowski , 77 N.J. Super. 49, 57 (App. Div. 1962), cert. den., 374 U.S. 851, 83 S. Ct. 1916, 10 L. Ed. 2d 1071 (1963). Possession signifies intentional control and dominion. Actual physical possession is not a requisite of receiving -- it may be constructive. Ibid. One has possession as soon as he intentionally obtains a measure of control or dominion over the custody of the stolen property even though physical possession is in another. If proof of possession of stolen property within one year from the date of the theft is established the jury is permitted to infer that ...

President's Message for July 2016
In this first message of my second term as President of Rotary E-Club of 3310, allow me to first remind myself as well as our members in the club the object of Rotary.
The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
- FIRST: The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
- SECOND: High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
- THIRD: The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life;
- FOURTH: The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
Therefore, my mission for this term has got to be to encourage and foster the above together with the members of my club. Indeed, the Rotary Theme for 2016-2017 is Rotary Serving Humanity.
I think I cannot be at a better time, in a better place, and with the better people to serve humanity.
I am at a better time.
In 2016, the Rotary Council on Legislation discussed and passed 6 Board proposed legislations. The first among these is to allow for flexibility in club meetings and attendance. Now clubs will have the option to
- Determine when and how often the club meets
- Set applicable attendance requirements
- Modify or eliminate termination policies for non-attendance
This enactment means every Rotary Club can do what an E-Club does. That means Rotary E-Club of 3310 has a 12 years head start to show the way. We have just launched TeamApp, a smartphone application, as a new initiative to help members connect using the cyberspace.
I am in a better place.
Rotary Foundation worldwide has accumulated huge funds. To fulfill the object of Rotary stated above, all we need to do is to find opportunities to serve humanity. I cannot be in a better place than in the Rotary family.
I am with better people.
The 5 core values of Rotary International are Fellowship, Integrity, Leadership, Diversity and Service. In short, we can use the acronym "FIELDS", where the extra "E" represents the extraordinary you ie the Rotarians… who are helping fellow citizens of the world by developing more green fields.
In the last three months, there was an influx of young professionals joining Rotary E-Club of 3310. We inducted new members in April, then May, and two new members were inducted at the installation dinner held on 15 June. I am expecting more to join us in the months to follow.
With these new members, and together with dedicated Rotarians who chartered this club and stayed, and dedicated Rotarians who joined over the years and stayed, I am confident that we are ready to live up to the Rotary Theme: ROTARY SERVING HUMANITY.

Who is more successful?
After several drinks, one of the men had to use the rest room. Those who
remained talked about their kids.
The first guy said, "My son is my pride and joy. He started working at a
successful company at the bottom of the barrel. He studied Economics and
Business Administration and soon began to climb the corporate ladder and
now he's the president of the company. He became so rich that he gave his
best friend a top of the line Mercedes for his birthday."
The second guy said, "Darn, that's terrific! My son is also my pride and
joy. He started working for a big airline, then went to flight school to
become a pilot. Eventually he became a partner in the company, where he
owns the majority of its assets. He's so rich that he gave his best friend
a brand new jet for his birthday.
The third man said: "Well, that's terrific! My son studied in the best
universities and became an engineer. Then he started his own construction
company and is now a multimillionaire. He also gave away something very
nice and expensive to his best friend for his birthday: A 30,000 square foot
The three friends congratulated each other just as the fourth friend
returned from the restroom and asked: "What are all the congratulations
One of the three said: "We were talking about the pride we feel for the
successes of our sons. What about your son?"
The fourth man replied: "My son is gay and makes a living dancing as a
stripper at a nightclub."
The three friends said: "What a shame...what a disappointment. " The fourth
man replied: "No, I'm not ashamed. He's my son and I love him.
And he hasn't done too badly either. His birthday was two weeks ago, and
he received a beautiful 30,000 square foot mansion, a brand new jet and a top
of the line Mercedes from his 3 boyfriends."
Read it properly
1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say:
I am very rich. Marry me! - That's Direct Marketing
2. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl.
One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says:
He's very rich. Marry him. - That's Advertising
3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day, you call and say:
Hi, I'm very rich. Marry me. - That's Telemarketing
4. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl.
You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink, you open the door (of the car) for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her ride and then say: By the way, I'm rich. Will you marry me? - That's Public Relations
5. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl.
She walks up to you and says:
You are very rich! Can you marry me? - That's Brand Recognition
6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say:
I am very rich. Marry me! She gives you a nice hard slap on your face.
That's Customer Feedback
7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say:
I am very rich. Marry me! And she introduces you to her husband.
That's demand and supply gap
8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say anything, another person come and tell her:
I'm rich. Will you marry me? and she goes with him -
That's competition eating into your market share
9. You see a gorgeous girl at a party.
You go up to her and before you say:
I'm rich, Marry me! Your wife arrives.
That's restriction from entering new markets.
As the plane reached cruising speed with the seat belt sign switched off, a 6 ft 3" black man with the build of Mike Tyson in the front row got up from his seat, turned to face the back, raised his arm and yelled, "HIJACK!"
Everyone was frozen to the seat, expecting the worst to happen.
And two stewards were about to jump onto this guy to overpower him when another voice answered from the back of the plane: "HI JOHN!"
The moral of the story is:
If you have a friend named Jack, for heaven's sake don't ever call him in the plane. Otherwise you may land yourself in deep shit.
Your career is not everything; your life is!
Your career is not everything; your life is .
1) You are always on your own. Even if you work for a big company, you will always be on your own. Companies aren't people. They're things and they don't have feelings. If you are expecting the company to "take care of you" or "do the right thing", you'll be often disappointed. There are no strong bonds in a company. No one cares more about your career than you do. Remember that, and don't expect the company to take care of you.
2) Certain jobs fit certain people best . You do have special gifts that fit you for some, disqualify you for others. Take time to assess your skills, temperament and aptitude in depth.
3) Careers are short-term. Your present job can end anytime, even if you own the company! Therefore, think short term. Don't take your present career for granted. Someone once described a consultant as a person who wakes up every morning unemployed. You should feel the same way. Wake up every morning feeling unemployed so that you'll appreciate
your present job more and figure out what you're going to do next.
Always have a "Plan B." (No kidding!!)
4) It's more important to be a "people person" than an " achievement-oriented person" who always win at the cost of others. People skills are more important than technical skills. Even in technical jobs, you have to deal with someone. The average performer who are easier to get along with last longer in his job.
5) What you accomplish today will be your calling card tomorrow. Your accomplishments will determine your marketability. In marketing yourself, it's the results that count. A soccer forward who scores in every game is easier to market than one who doesn't. So make sure you're contributing something substantial and measurable every day. And
make sure you keep a written record of your results, in case you forget!
6) Changing fields, industries, and functional specialties is difficult. The more difficult it is, the bigger the change will be.
Therefore, choose your career path carefully. As management expert Peter Drucker says, "The best way to predict the future is to plan it."
7) If you're fired or laid off, don't sue your former employer. Ask yourself why you didn't see it coming; or if you did see it coming. Ask yourself why you didn't do something about it. Figure out your part in causing the problem. Then set about creating a new, better life for yourself. There is a better life in your future.
8) Don't stay in a job you hate. Hating your job can kill you.
9) Success is difficult. If success were easy, everyone would be successful.
10) You are in full control of your own future. No one can deny you a happy life if you decide to plan it and work for it. No one can stop you from becoming successful, but yourself.
11) It's never too late for a new beginning.
12 ) Align yourself with winners. Hang around with winners. Success really does rub off from others.
"If you keep doing what you have always been doing, you're going to get what you've always gotten"
有一個人,常常托同事幫她買早點,她總是給 30元,買一塊她常吃的麵包,有一天這位男同事休假,她自己跑去買麵包才發現,她買的麵包早已漲價成 35元。從此以後,她都會多看他一眼,沒多久,公司流傳了一段佳話「五塊錢買一個老婆。」其實吃虧,可以獲得好感 。

A couple was celebrating their golden wedding anniversary on the beaches in Montego Bay. Their domestic tranquility had long been the talk of the town. People would say, "What a peaceful & loving couple". The local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the secret of their long and happy marriage.
The Husband replied: "Well, it dates back to our honeymoon in Arizona," explained the man. "We visited the Grand Canyon, and took a trip, down to the bottom of the canyon, by horse. We hadn't gone too far when my wife's horse stumbled and she almost fell off.
My wife looked down at the horse and quietly said, "That's once."
"We proceeded a little further and horse stumbled again.
Once more my wife quietly said, "That's twice."
"We hadn't gone a half-mile when the horse stumbled for the third time.
My wife quietly removed a revolver from her purse and shot the horse dead.
I shouted at her, "What's wrong with you, Woman?! Why did you shoot the poor animal like that? "Are you crazy??"
She looked at ME, and quietly said, "That's once."
"And from that moment on ... we have lived happily every after."
Laughter is the Best Medicine
she asked her son - to use his own phone to pass an urgent message to daddy who is at work site
After the son had called, he got back to mummy to inform her that it was a lady that picked up daddy's phone
the three times he tried reaching dad on the mobile phone. (Women!!)
She waited impatiently for her husband to return from work site, immediately when she saw him,
she gave him a very hot tight slap. While the hubby was trying to ask why the slap?
She repeated the slap, people from the neighborhood rushed around to know what is happening
The man asked the son to tell everybody what the lady said to him when he called, the son said
" the number u are Trying To call Is not Reachable At The Moment. Pls Try Again Later".
I believe some apply to woman as well.
If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.
If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.
Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be.
Slower is better. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can't "be friends".
A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.
Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.
Don't stay because you think "it will get better."
You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women.
He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?
Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up.
Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.
You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within.
Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are...
Even if he has more education or in a better job. Do not make him into a quasi-god.
He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
Never let a man define who you are.
Never borrow someone else's man.
If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.
A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
All men are NOT dogs.
You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is two way street.
You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute.
About baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.
You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship.
Consists of two WHOLE individuals...look for someone complimentary...not supplementary.
Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.
Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him - he takes it for granted.
Never move into his mother's house. Never co-sign for a man.
Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.
Keep him in your radar but get to know others.
Share this with other women and men (just so they know)...
You'll make someone smile, another rethink her choices, and another woman prepare.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them and an entire lifetime to forget them.
Good manners
The teacher responded by saying, "That would be rude and impolite. What about you Peter? How would you say it?" Peter said, "I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back." "That's better, but it's still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the dinner table."
"And you, little Johnny, can you use your brain for once and show us your good manners?" Johnny answered by saying, "I would say: Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope you'll get to meet after dinner."
The teacher was momentarily stunned.
Slow Down Culture
An interesting reflection : Slow Down Culture
It's been 18 years since I joined Volvo, a Swedish company. Working for them has proven to be an interesting experience. Any project here takes 2 years to be finalized, even if the idea is simple and brilliant. It's a rule.
Globalized processes have caused us (all over the world) to have a general sense of searching for immediate results. Therefore, we have come to posses a need to see immediate results. This contrasts greatly with the slow movements of the Swedish. They, on the other hand, debate, debate, debate, hold x quantity of meetings and work with a slowdown scheme. At the end, this always yields better results. Said in other words:
1. Sweden is about the size of San Pablo, a state in Brazil.
2. Sweden has 2 million inhabitants.
3. Stockholm, has 500,000 people.
4. Volvo, Escania, Ericsson, Electrolux, Nokia are some of its renowned companies. Volvo supplies parts to NASA.
The first time I was in Sweden, one of my colleagues picked me up at the hotel every morning. It was September, bitter cold and snowy. We would arrive early at the company and he would park far away from the entrance (2000 employees drive their cars to work). The first day, I didn't say anything, neither the second nor the third.
One morning I asked, "Do you have a fixed parking space? I've noticed we park far from the entrance even when there are no other cars in the lot.
To which he replied, "Since we're here early we'll have time to walk, and whoever gets in late will be late and need a place closer to the door.
Don't you think?" Imagined the look on my face.
Nowadays, there's a movement in Europe called Slow Food. This movement establishes that people should eat and drink slowly, with enough time to taste their food, spend time with the family, friends, without rushing.
Slow Food is against its counterpart: the spirit of Fast Food and what it stands for as a lifestyle. Slow Food is the basis for a bigger movement called Slow Europe, as mentioned by Business Week.
Basically, the movement questions the sense of "hurry" and "craziness"
generated by globalization, fueled by the desire of "having in quantity"
(life status) versus "having with quality", "life quality" or the "quality of being". French people, even though they work 35 hours per week, are more productive than the Americans or the British. The Germans have established 28.8 hour workweeks and have seen their productivity driven up by 20%. This slow attitude has brought forth the US 's attention, pupils of the fast and the "do it now!".
This no-rush attitude doesn't represent doing less or having a lower productivity. It means working and doing things with greater quality, productivity, perfection, with attention to detail and less stress. It means reestablishing family values, friends, free and leisure time.
Taking the "now", present and concrete, versus the "global", undefined and anonymous. It means taking humans' essential values, the simplicity of living. It stands for a less coercive work environment, more happy, lighter and more productive where humans enjoy doing what they know best how to do.
It's time to stop and think on how companies need to develop serious quality with no-rush that will increase productivity and the quality of products and services, without losing the essence of spirit. Many of us live our lives running behind time, but we only reach it when we die of a heart attack or in a car accident rushing to be on time. Others are so anxious of living the future that they forget to live the present, which is the only time that truly exists. We all have equal time throughout the world. No one has more or less. The difference lies in how each one of us does with our time. We need to live each moment. As John Lennon once said, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans".
Congratulations for reading till the end of this message. There are many whom will have stopped in the middle so as not to waste time in this globalized world.

Murphy's Laws on Computers
- Installing a new program will always mess up at least one old one.
- You can't win them all, but you sure can lose them all.
- The likelihood of a hard disk crash is in direct proportion to the value of the material that hasn't been backed up.
- There are only two kinds of computer users: Those whose hard disks have crashed, and those whose hard disks haven't crashed - yet.
- Anything can be made to work if you fiddle with it. If you fiddle with something long enough, you'll break it.
Humour for July
Three accountants were in the urinal performing their morning constitutional. The first accountant finishes and walks over to the sink to wash his hands. Very carefully. He uses paper towel after paper towel and ensures that every single spot of water on his hands is dried. Turning to the other two other accountants, he says "At KPMG, we are trained to be extremely thorough".
The second accountant finishes his task at the urinal and he proceeds to wash his hands. He uses a single paper towel and makes sure that he dries his hands using every available portion of the paper towel. He turns and says "At Ernst & Young, not only are we trained to be extremely thorough but we are also trained to be extremely efficient".
The third accountant finishes and walks straight for the door. "At Arthur Andersen, we don't pee on our hands".
The Airline Joke
Passengers on a Lufthansa flight heard this announcement from the captain:
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am sorry to inform you that we have lost power to all of our engines and will shortly crash into the ocean"
The passengers were obviously very worried about this situation but were somewhat comforted by the captain's next announcement.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we at Lufthansa have prepared for such an emergency and we would now like you to rearrange your seating so that all the non-swimmers are on the left side of the plane and all the swimmers are on the right side of the plane"
After this announcement all the pasengers rearranged their seating to comply with the captain's request.
Two minutes later the captain made a belly landing in the ocean.
The captain once again made an annoucement:
"Ladies and Gentlemen we have crashed into the ocean.
All of the swimmers on the right side of the plane, open your emergency exits and quickly swim away from the plane. For all of the non-swimmers on the left side of the plane, "HANK YOU FOR FLYING LUFTHANSA."
British Airways
"This is Captain Sinclair speaking. On behalf of my crew. I'd like to welcome you aboard British Airways flight 602 from New York to London. We are currently flying at a height of 35,000 feet midway across the Atlantic."
"If you look out of the windows on the starboard side of the aircraft, you will observe that both the starboard engines are on fire. If you look out of the windows on the port side, you will observe that the port wing has fallen off."
"If you look down towards the Atlantic Ocean, you will see a little yellow life raft with three people in it waving at you. That's me your captain, the co-pilot, and one of the air stewardesses. This is a recorded message."

Tequila and Salt
Read it everyday. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.
1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. You are special and unique.
8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look.
11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
And always remember....when life hands you Lemons, ask for tequila and salt, and call me over!
Good friends are like stars........You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.
'Whenever God Closes One Door He Always Opens Another, Even Though Sometimes
It's Hell in the Hallway'
I would rather have one rose and a kind word from a friend while I'm here than a whole truck load when I'm gone.
A good one...............hahahhah!
When he woke up he found a strange man standing at the end of his bed wearing a long flowing white robe "Who the hell are you?" Demanded Brian, "and what are you doing in my bedroom?". The mysterious Man answered "This isn't your bedroom and I'm St Peter". Brian was stunned "You mean I'm dead!!! That can't be, I have so much to live for, I haven't said goodbye to my family.. You've got to send me back straight away".
St Peter replied "Yes you can be reincarnated but there is a catch. We can only send you back as a dog or a hen." Brian was devastated, but knowing there was a farm not far from his house, he asked to be sent back as a hen. A flash of light later he was covered in feathers and clucking around pecking the ground. "This ain't so bad" he thought until he felt this strange feeling welling up inside him.
The farmyard rooster strolled over and said "So you're the new hen, how are you enjoying your first day here?" "It's not so bad" replies Brian, "but I have this strange feeling inside like I'm about to explode". "You're ovulating" explained the rooster, "don't tell me you've never laid an egg before". "Never" replies Brian "Well just relax and let it happen" And so he did and after a few uncomfortable seconds later, an egg pops out from under his tail.
An immense feeling of relief swept over him and his emotions got the better of him as he experienced motherhood for the first time. When he laid his second egg, the feeling of happiness was overwhelming and he knew that being reincarnated as a hen was the best thing that ever happened to him. Ever!!!

Funny Notes (i)
Five Principles for Happiness in 2007
by David Bach
Tuesday, January 2, 2007
The arrival of the new year marks a symbolic time for fresh starts. Many of us take it as an opportunity to set goals, contemplate decisions, and renew commitments. It's special because of the revitalized sense of hope it brings.
Before you make your New Year's resolutions for 2007, I'd like to share some thoughts about how it's never too late to start living a rich life.
The Live Rich Factor
Most people believe that if they just had more money, the things that make them unhappy would disappear and their lives would be better. The truth is that your life can be better without more money. It can be better today, but you need to make some decisions and take some actions.
You don't need me to tell you what will make you happy -- only you know that truth.
I believe each of us has the power to discover our purpose and become joyful in the process of journeying toward that purpose. It's not easy, however. Nothing important and meaningful ever is.
What you need to do is create what I call the "Live Rich Factor" in your life. I call it this because those who find the purpose that leads them to joy are truly the luckiest people in the world, because they're living richly.
There are five basic principles involved in creating your Live Rich Factor:
Principle 1: Give Yourself a Break
We all tell ourselves the story of the one that got away. You can't move forward if you spend time focusing on what you shoulda-woulda-coulda done in 2006 or before. It's over, and its time to move on. The fastest way I know to do this is to write all of your regrets down on paper.
Make a list of all your personal and financial if-onlys. For example, "If only I had saved more money. If only I hadn't quit that job. If only I hadn't taken the job I have." You get the idea.
After reading the list aloud to yourself, get rid of it. Let it all go by literally burning the list (safely). Now you're ready for a fresh start in 2007 -- a new beginning.
Principle 2: Get Connected with Your Truth
The hardest thing to do is be honest with yourself. Asking yourself some key questions will lead you to some amazing discoveries, and possibly motivate you to do what it takes to create the life you envision for yourself.
I suggest writing your (honest) answers to the following questions in a new journal for the new year:
- What makes you happy at work?
- What makes you happy at home?
- What makes you happy with your friends and family?
- What makes you happy when you're by yourself?
- What do you love to do?
- What would you do with your life today if you weren't afraid of failure?
- What's not working in your life?
- What are you currently doing that prevents you from experiencing joy?
- What's working in your life?
- Who's not working in your life?
- Who in your life is subtracting value from and adding misery to it?
- Can you fix any of these relationships, or should you let them go from your life?
- What relationships are working in your life?
- If we were getting together one year from today, what would have to happen for you to be able to tell me that you now have more joy in your life?
- What's the single most important thing you've learned about yourself as a result of answering these questions?
Principle 3: Stop Judging Yourself
Be nicer to yourself in 2007. Many people talk to themselves in a way they would never accept from a stranger, friend, or loved one. If this describes you, try stopping the negative conversations you have with yourself immediately.
For one week, simply commit to saying "stop it" when you think a negative thought about yourself. If you're in the habit of saying negative things to yourself, you'll find this is one of the most difficult exercises you'll ever do. Carry a notepad with you and make a mark each time you catch yourself thinking negatively. You'll find that as the days go by, your negative thinking can quickly be reduced.
Principle 4: Stop Judging Others
It's hard to be joyful when you're always judging others. In fact, it's close to impossible. Judging others creates a huge amount of stress in our lives. It affects our marriages and our relationships with our kids as well as the way we relate to friends, co-workers, and society in general.
We're not here to judge one another.
The next time you find yourself upset at someone or some situation, catch yourself and ask, "Are you judging?" Judging others is often an unconscious habit. But it's a habit that can be changed the moment you decide to stop doing it.
Principle 5 : Pursue Fun with a Vengeance
It's OK to pursue fun. It's what children do. My greatest joy these days is the simple pleasure of playing with my three-year-old son, Jack.
This holiday season with Jack taught me the simple power of pursuing fun -- again and again. What was fun for Jack this Christmas? It turns out it wasn't the Big Wheel that my wife, Michelle, and I stayed up so late building on Christmas Eve. And it wasn't the Star Wars Lego toy (although he was pretty excited about that).
Instead, what Jack found the most fun was a new game I made up to keep him entertained. The game was called Geronimo -- and it involved Jack jumping from the bed onto a stack of pillows yelling "Geronimo!" This silly little game ended up bringing us both hours of fun. The price of the game: nothing. The fun: priceless. And the laughs? Endless.
Why do we stop pursing fun as we get older? Fun shouldn't be squeezed into a few weeks of vacation each year. And it shouldn't be squeezed into the last chapter of your life when you "get to" retire. Fun deserves to be a part of your life now -- in 2007.
But fun doesn't just happen. You have to make it a priority in your life or it'll go missing. Life's too short to not have it.
So here's to a fun, happy, and healthy New Year. Cheers!

Miscommunication at it's best
Think and review
There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she's blind.
She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He's always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she can see everything, including her boyfriend.
Her boyfriend asked her, "now that you can see the world, will you marry me?" The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend is blind too, and refused to marry him.
Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying. "Just take care of my eyes dear."
This is how human brain changes when the status changed.
Only few remember what life was before, and who's always been there even in the most painful situations.
Sub: Life Is A Gift
Today before you think of saying an unkind word. Think of someone who can't speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food. Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife. Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion.
Today before you complain about life. Think of someone who went too early to heaven.
Before you complain about your children. Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn't clean or sweep. Think of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive. Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job. Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another. Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around.
Life is a gift, Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it
And fulfill it
And while you are at it give love to someone today. Love someone with what you do and the words you say. Love is not meant to be kept locked inside of us and hidden
So give it away "Give Love to someone today!" Remember to live each day to the fullest.
男人爱上女人后, 他会做诗
女人爱上男人后, 她会做梦
当男人走投无路的时候, 一个女人会和他离婚
做情人的时候, 女人会让男人心疼;
做妻子的时候, 女人会让男人头疼
男人要是提出离婚, 往往是他已经不喜欢她的妻子了
女人要是提出离婚, 往往是她丈夫已经不喜欢她了
女人坚持独身, 人们会认为她有毛病;
男人坚持独身, 人们会认为他有事业心。
女人能够忍受不幸的婚姻, 不能忍受不幸的爱情;
男人能够忍受不幸的爱情, 不能忍受不幸的婚姻
女人恋爱是因为好奇心驱使。 结果是男人烦恼女人失望。
Read Each One Carefully and Think About It a Second or Two
1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.
2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.
3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.
6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.
9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.
10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.
12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.
13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.
緊記: 所有事也是因果循環的。

I have no money and no life
from: http://www.comicspage.com/comicspage/main.jsp?file=20070114cssho-s-p.jpg&refresh_content=1&component_id=3&custid=69&catid=1160&dir=%2Fshoe
on 01-14-2007
What I received in my email
what I received after 3 hours
How to Exercise While Sitting at Your Computer
1. Sit properly in a good chair designed for desk work. Your back should be straight, and your head should be looking directly into your monitor. If you have to look down or up, you need to adjust the height of either the screen or your chair. If you keep leaning forward, first get your eyesight checked. If your eyesight is fine use a loose belt or string to tie yourself to the chair. After a while your posture will improve and you'll no longer need this restraint.
2. Maintain an ergonomic body posture while typing. Be sure your wrists are slightly lower than your elbows. This will help prevent Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Keep your legs bent at the knees so that the knees are only slightly higher than your hips. Feet should be flat on the floor or on a step stool of some sort.
3. Stand up every half hour. Walk around a few steps, stretch your legs, and give your eyes a break from focusing on your computer screen. This will also help prevent blood clots from developing in your legs. Blood clots are very common among middle age people, who generally use the computer a lot.
4. To stretch your neck, flex your head forward/backward, side to side and look right and left. Never roll your head around your neck. This could cause damage to the joints of the neck.
5. Roll your wrists regularly (this will help prevent carpal tunnel syndrome if you spend a lot of time typing).
6. Recognize that people tend to hunch in front of the keyboard. To counter that, perform the following exercise: open your arms wide as if you are going to hug someone, rotate your wrists externally (thumbs going up and back) and pull your shoulders back. You will feel a stretch in the scapula area.
7. Contract your abdominal and gluteal muscles, hold them there for a few seconds, then release. Do this all day long while you are in your chair.
8. Stretch your arms, legs, neck and torso while sitting. This will help prevent you from feeling stiff.
9. Take advantage of the downtime created by rebooting or large file downloads to get up and try something more ambitious such as doing a few push-ups, sit-ups, and/or jumping jacks. Beware of your snickering co-workers though.
10. Acquire a hand gripper. They are cheap, small and light. When you have to read something either on the screen or on paper, you probably won't be using your hands very often so squeeze your gripper. It is an excellent forearm workout.
11. Acquire an elastic band (also cheap, small and light) and use it to do the actions mentioned in step 8 (i.e., when stretching your arms, do it by pulling apart the elastic band). You will not only stretch but it will also work the muscles slightly.
12. Take a few deep breaths. If possible, get some fresh air in your lungs.
13. Invest in a large size stability ball or stability ball style desk chair, and sit on it with back straight and abs firm. The actual stability ball is more effective, however the chair is a more viable option for use in an office environment. Sit, bounce or do basic toning exercises while watching TV or talking on the phone as well. Use the actual ball form in moderation when typing, as this is probably not the most supportive seating to prevent carpal tunnel and tendonitis.
14. While sitting, lift up your legs on the balls of your feet and set them down. Repeat these until your legs are comfortably tired. Then repeat it again about 10 minutes later. Do this whole routine for about an hour or so. This will exercise your calves.
* Don't neglect the health of your eyes! It is detrimental to your eyesight to focus at one thing for long periods of time (i.e. your monitor) so take breaks to look out the window and focus at something at a farther distance away to maintain good ocular health. Also consider purchasing an LCD screen which is easier on the eyes. Ophthalmologists recommend following the "20-20-20" rule--For every 20 minutes spent focusing on your computer screen, spend 20 seconds focusing on something else 20 feet away.
* As long as something is moving, you will be helping to keep yourself in better shape. Constant movement will burn calories and contribute to cardiovascular health. While exercising at your computer is helpful, it is not a substitute for going to the gym or conducting a regular exercise program.
* Don't sit still. Fidgeting is a good way to keep moving. Even something like tapping your foot. But don't make too much noise--however you fidget, the repetitive noises may bother other people.
* Always have water nearby to drink.
* If you're all alone, try shutting off the computer for a bit and exercise. If you're on a cell phone call, get up and do stretches, or leg lifts, anything to keep moving during down time away from the desk.
* Try exercises that combine opposing muscle groups (flexors and extensors, e.g., biceps and triceps) to get a good workout. Clasp your hands together with palms facing each other. Pull up with one hand while pushing down with the other.
* Play music while working to provoke body movement and relieve stress. A smaller instrument will be more convenient.
* Your body needs more exercise than just what you do at the computer, but following these steps will contribute to a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
* Do not sit at your computer for a long time. Take a break after every 15 minutes.
* Steps 8 and 9; if not done in moderation, may cause you to start sweating, which may not be a pleasant sight or odor in an office environment. Keep in mind you are doing these to prevent stiffness, so save the enthusiasm for the gym.

LOVE... is in the air
When your looking at the stars, in the eternal blue
remember that each star out there is a reason why I love you
and when you think you are alone, and when no one is there at all
i will be right in front of you, to catch you when you fall
The Hour Glass - by Ben Jonson
Consider this small dust, here in the glass,
By atoms moved:
Could you believe that this the body was
Of one that loved;
And in his mistress' flame, playing like a fly,
Was turned to cinders by her eye:
Yes; and in death, as life unblessed,
To have it expressed,
Even ashes of lovers find no rest.
Using Me - by Meighan
You affect my thoughts
You affect my mind
But why must you use me all the time
I don't understand you
Help me to know you
Trust me
I trust you
So help me to understand
The meaning of me and you
The Definition of Love - Andrew Marvell
My love is of a birth as rare
As 'tis for object strange and high;
It was begotten by Despair
Upon Impossibility.
Magnanimous Despair alone
Could show me so divine a thing
Where feeble Hope could ne'er have flown,
But vainly flapp'd its tinsel wing.
And yet I quickly might arrive
Where my extended soul is fixt,
But Fate does iron wedges drive,
And always crowds itself betwixt.
For Fate with jealous eye does see
Two perfect loves, nor lets them close;
Their union would her ruin be,
And her tyrannic pow'r depose.
And therefore her decrees of steel
Us as the distant poles have plac'd,
(Though love's whole world on us doth wheel)
Not by themselves to be embrac'd;
Unless the giddy heaven fall,
And earth some new convulsion tear;
And, us to join, the world should all
Be cramp'd into a planisphere.
As lines, so loves oblique may well
Themselves in every angle greet;
But ours so truly parallel,
Though infinite, can never meet.
Therefore the love which us doth bind,
But Fate so enviously debars,
Is the conjunction of the mind,
And opposition of the stars.

Buying gifts for Men
Buying gifts for men is not nearly as complicated as it is for women. Follow these rules and you should have no problems.
Rule #1: When in doubt - buy him a cordless drill. It does not matter if he already has one. I have a friend who owns 17 and he has yet to complain. As a man, you can never have too many cordless drills. No one knows why.
Rule #2: If you cannot afford a cordless drill, buy him anything with the word ratchet or socket in it. Men love saying those two words. "Hey George, can I borrow your ratchet?" "OK. By the way, are you through with my 3/8-inch socket yet?" Again, no one knows why.
Rule #3: If you are really, really broke, buy him anything for his car, a 99 cent ice scraper, a small bottle of de-icer or something to hang from his rear view mirror. Men love gifts for their cars. No one knows why.
Rule #4: Never buy men bathrobes. Once I was told that if God had wanted men to wear bathrobes, he wouldn't have invented Jockey shorts.
Rule #5: You can buy men new remote controls to replace the ones they have worn out. If you have a lot of money buy your man a big-screen TV with the little picture in the corner. Watch him go wild as he flips, and flips, and flips.
Rule #6: Do not buy any man industrial-sized canisters of after-shave or deodorant. I'm told they do not stink - they are earthy.
Rule #7: Buy men label makers. Almost as good as cordless drills. Within a couple of weeks there will be labels absolutely everywhere. "Socks. Shorts. Cups. saucers. Door. Lock. Sink." You get the idea. No one knows why.
Rule #8: Never buy a man anything that says "some assembly required" on the box. It will ruin his Special Day and he will always have parts left over.
Rule #9: Good places to shop for men include Home Depot, John Deere, Goodyear Tire, and Napa Auto Parts. ANYTHING you buy from these stores is gonna work. It doesn't even matter if he doesn't know what it is. ("From NAPA Auto, eh? Must be something I need. Hey! Isn't this a starter for a '68 Ford Fairlane? Wow! thanks.")
Rule #10: Men enjoy danger. That's why they never cook - but they will barbecue. Get him a monster barbecue with a 100-pound propane tank. Tell him the gas line leaks. "Oh the thrill! The challenge! Who wants a hamburger?"
Rule #11: Tickets to a Cowboys game are a smart gift. However, he will not appreciate tickets to "A Retrospective of 19th Century Quilts." Everyone knows why.
Rule #12: Men love chain saws. Never, ever, buy a man you love a chain saw. If you don't know why - please refer to Rule #7 and what happens when he gets a label maker.
Rule #13: It's hard to beat a really good wheelbarrow or an aluminum extension ladder. Never buy a real man a stepladder. It must be an extension ladder. No one knows why.
Rule #14: Rope. Men love rope. It takes us back to our cowboy origins, or at least The Boy Scouts. Nothing says love like a hundred feet of 3/8" manila rope.
No one knows why.

Billy Cundiff: Week 15 Fantasy OutlookDecember 11, 2013
Cundiff is kicking at home this week against Chicago. He was 4-for-4 on extra points Sunday against the Jaguars, but did not attempt a field goal.
Cundiff is one of the league's cold-weather kickers attached to an inconsistent offense, so his value is limited. He now has 16 field goals and 24 extra points this season.

Within the next two years, the City of Lawrence wants to finish the East Ninth Street Project, bring fiber internet to the community and develop a master plan for downtown.
Those tasks are among eight initiatives decided Monday at the city's strategic planning meeting, all of which are set to be completed in one to two years. Although several city staff members said they liked the specific direction that only eight priorities provided, some commissioners had concerns that the initiatives were limiting.
"As we got to this part of the process and we narrowed it down to eight, I started to panic, because I thought, 'Wait, wait, wait, there's other stuff that's important,'" Commissioner Lisa Larsen said. "So I'm concerned about that, but I'm very hopeful that we can keep our focus on the plan as a whole."
The eight initiatives are related to broader elements of the strategic plan, which were broken into seven factors that covered topics such as economic growth, fiscal planning and commitment to core services.
City Manager Tom Markus said he thought the specific, short-term initiatives were needed to help the commission narrow its focus, and that it didn't prevent the commission from dealing with other issues as they arise.
"While you may have a little bit of concern about what the items are and whether there are enough items, I think these processes tend to evolve over time," Markus said. "And I witnessed this happen, and they actually grow stronger over time. So there's a little trepidation right now and I think if you stick to this, in the long run, this will serve the community very well."
The identification of the eight initiatives was the product of a five-hour, consultant-led strategic planning meeting Monday that included commissioners and officials from the city's various departments. Each commissioner identified several priorities, resulting in a pool of dozens of initiatives that a vote narrowed down to the final eight.
Commissioner Matthew Herbert said the process was an opportunity to have some good conversations among staff and commissioners about the issues, and he hoped it would improve how the city determines its policies.
"I'll be interested to see where we take this going forward and whether this can prove to be a more focused approach to policy making," Herbert said.
The eight initiatives, facilitated by The Novak Consulting Group, are as follows:
• City advisory boards: Inventory and evaluate the role of existing advisory boards and commissions and identify opportunities to consolidate or sunset as appropriate. The city has approximately 30 advisory boards, and Herbert said that the quantity of boards hurts the quality. Markus noted that the city has multiple economic development reviews that tend to get confused and take a lot of time.
• Training and staff development: Review the city's processes for ongoing professional development and align efforts to achieve excellence amid the commission's priorities. Assistant City Manager Casey Toomay said the city needed to recognize staff that have potential and get them training to move into leadership positions.
• High-speed internet: Identify barriers to having high-speed fiber throughout Lawrence and facilitate development of the necessary infrastructure by the private sector. Commissioner Mike Amyx said the city needs to better understand the technology needs in the community and make sure they are met.
• East Ninth Street Project: Review the Ninth Street plans and develop a proposal to complete the road infrastructure and determine ability to add creative and artistic elements. Markus said the direction at this point is to come back with a scaled-down proposal in March and have the commissioners determine which way they want to go.
• Maintenance plan: Develop a city facilities master plan and comprehensive facility maintenance plan. Mayor Leslie Soden said the city needs to include operational costs, not just construction costs, in its plans for facilities. Markus said the city operates out of so many locations that it's influencing the cost of day-to-day operations.
• Budgeting core services: Develop a plan to implement priority-based budgeting. Commissioner Lisa Larsen said the city needs to have equitable funding options to ensure the quality of the city's core services.
• Financial planning: Develop and communicate the city's long-term financial strategy. Finance Director Bryan Kidney said the long-term financial outlook is a part of the budget process, but that it could be tied to the strategic plan's seven factors and more clearly communicated to the commission and the public.
• Downtown master plan: Develop a master plan for downtown that includes desirable assets, infrastructure and uses. Having a plan for downtown was related to the city's economic growth and security, and Herbert said he thought the city should focus on what was already working to ensure downtown's success.
Monday was the third and final strategic planning meeting that was led by The Novak Consulting Group. The strategic plan will inform the city's budget planning this spring, and will be reviewed again by the commission following the election in November.

Flags and fireworks
Southwold being Southwold there are flags and bunting everywhere. It's good that events like the Royal Wedding are helping to rid the union jack of its Nationalist and Hard-Right taints. There's nothing very threatening or exclusive about a flag that's got a picture of Wills and Kate grinning in the middle of it.
There were fireworks last night on Gun Hill.
It was a clear night and a strong north-easterly wind made for some interesting effects as it blew the light trails inland.

Tonight, while sitting at one of my mom's favorite restaurants (ihop--she loved breakfast food. me too!) my dad told me the whole story. Every detail. Every person. Every event.
And we cried as we sat there.
It was odd.
College kids behind us, happily conversing about text messages.
An older couple cuddling together.
A single lady reading a book while eating.
Wait staff walking around with plates of pancakes.
Tanith coloring.
And my dad and I...talking about the death of my mom.
It all happened over dinner.

grammy watching party at the house. erin had been craving taco dip since before the super bowl, and the guys had been craving pbr since...forever. so the grammys seemed like the perfect occasion to combine the two. erin, nick, ryan, wilke, and i settled in front of the tv to take in m.i.a.'s disaster polka dot outfit, thom yorke's awkwardly endearing attempt at dancing, the jonas brothers closing in on stevie wonder, and definitely not katie perry's performance.

i went out for happy hour with deniz, my co-worker and friend, after work. there's a new bar right by the office in middleton. it can be a pretty interesting place. they have live music every now and then; we missed bret michaels by one day. we did, however, run into some other folks from work. and that made happy hour turn plural. i got a little sleepy by the time i got home.

i did not watch the superbowl because it is boring. i fell asleep in my room reading 'wicked'. perhaps staying awake until 5:30am is not good for me anymore? i luckily woke up with enough time to get myself to the diamond way buddhist center to meet reina for meditation. i've been going there periodically this past year. it was just me reina and one of the housemates. we were able to talk after the meditation and learn more about buddhism and meditation, and what they mean. it was nice. but it got late, and we had to force ourselves to leave in order to catch-up on the sleep we both lost this weekend.

wine tasting at barriques on monroe with kourtney and brittany. wines of nicolas catena. i'm not completely sure what that means, but i certainly enjoyed his wines. the three of us ended up talking so much we only made it half way through the list. we headed to cafe montmartre for a 'daredevil christopher wright' show. the first time i saw them was at someone in madison's deck/backyard on a summer weekday night. i conveniently forget how vicious the mosquitoes were that night, and remember only how there is probably no more perfect of a summer night.

working at barriques. with ellen. she loves this magnet - 'unattended children will be given espresso and a free kitten'. she was worried danna would take it back from the espresso machine when she quit. she didn't.

fred moved back to town. back from the kind campaign in la crosse to the capital in madison. we went with ryan and nick to the plaza for some drinks. not budweiser. pbr. i hadn't been out and social on a tuesday since...septemeber?

marissa and nina came to visit. we went to the irish pub for a drink. notice the bodega tee shirt and the la crosse sweatshirt. and the beer. good things never change. the three of us were able to catch-up, reminisce, plan valentine's day. and enjoy the gray - black color scheme. i used to spend nearly everyday with these gals; it's sad how things i hold so dearly change so quickly. perhaps it makes the monthly rendezvous in madison milwaukee or la crosse with them that much sweeter.

some dozen fellow barriques baristas and i met at our store for a wine tasting. south american wines. we enjoyed the wine and some food, such as a ginger cookie, before heading over to see cait perform (see monday 01.19.09). i was able to meet some of the co-workers friends, fiancees. it is always fascinating to meet the people who are important to friends. i was impressed with how many people showed up. half way through the tasting us employees had to switch to tasting from coffee mugs because the store ran out of wine glasses for the real customers. a good showing.
