One comfort I've found as I move deeper into middle age is the legacies my beloved dead have left behind.The families they raised, the homes they built and kept, the businesses they founded, the gardens and orchards they planted, the words they wrote. All these people and things survive them and continue to delight me and so many others. Sure, none of it will last forever, but not even stars last forever.
Beautifully stated, Wright!My father was a very gifted artist and architect. He died in 2002. He left behind not only hundreds of his paintings and sculptures for us (his family) to enjoy, but also the beautiful home he designed and helped build in 1973 that we kids were all raised in. I miss him every day, but he does live on through these legacies.
My paternal grandfather managed the family ranch for most of his long life. He did everything from weeding bean rows to branding cattle to accounting, leaving the family a business that thrives to this day. My maternal grandmother was a single mom of six, a union organizer in the 1930s and a volunteer at the Girl's Club in her home city for decades. Never went to college but had a mind as sharp as any I've ever met.As you do your father, I miss them both very much. Well to be completely honest, Grandma Gladys more than Bill Cooper Sr.; he wasn't always easy to get along with. But I am nonetheless grateful for all they gave so freely, and find inspiration in how they lived their lives.
^^^Appreciate the support, guys. Still think I was a bit too quick, as was the writer I linked to, in uncritically accepting this. In the era of near-instant communication, it behooves everyone to be a bit more cautious in spreading stories around.

IU honors student worst "Wheel of Fortune" contestant ever?
MILWAUKEE (WITI) — He's an honors student at Indiana University — and he's being called one of the worst "Wheel of Fortune" contestants ever!
Julian Batt says he always wanted to be on the show.
Not only did he get his chance — but he blew the opportunity to win $1 million, and a brand new car.
Batt was able to correctly guess all of the letters in the first puzzle presented to him — which could have given him the chance to spin for $1 million — but he lost because he didn't pronounce the answer correctly.
In a second puzzle, Batt could've won a brand new car — but the letter that he guessed was incorrect.
A third time, Batt guessed "on-the-spot dicespin," rather than "on-the-spot decision" — again losing the puzzle.
Take a look at the video above!

He has made the charge in news releases, speeches and, most recently, in a new ad on his Web site. You can see it here.
Romney's charge, designed to raise questions with the GOP base about McCain's conservative credentials at a time when he is moving up in the polls, might resonate in the antitax state, which has neither a general sales tax nor a personal income tax.
We find Romney is accurately summarizing McCain's record, though he is omitting some important details.
McCain has long cultivated a reputation as a "straight talk" fiscal conservative, saying that tax cuts must be matched by spending cuts.
In 2001, McCain voted against a $1.35-trillion tax cut package that marked Bush's first big legislative achievement after initially supporting an alternative plan that had tighter spending limits. Two years later, McCain opposed $350-billion in additional tax cuts, saying he couldn't support cutting taxes in the face of unknown war costs. "No one can be expected to make an informed decision about fiscal policy at this time," McCain said. "Let us wait until we have succeeded in Iraq." McCain also said he wouldn't support any spending increases that weren't related to defense or homeland security.
But in 2006, McCain voted to extend the Bush tax cuts for five years, saying not to do so would be tantamount to raising taxes at a time when the economy was sputtering.
At the time, McCain said he supported the tax-cut extensions, which reduced tax rates on capital gains and dividend income, because "American businesses and investors need a stable and predictable tax policy to continue contributing to the growth of our economy. These considerations lead me to the conclusion that we should not reverse course by letting higher tax rates take effect."
In an interview on Fox News on Dec. 28, 2007, he expressed no regrets about his tax votes against Bush. He said he would have preferred a plan that included spending cuts as well as tax cuts, but added that he believes the tax cuts should now be made permanent.
"I had significant tax cuts, and there was restraint of spending included in my proposal," McCain said during the appearance on Hannity & Colmes. "I saw no restraint in spending. We presided over the greatest increase in the size of government since the Great Society. Spending went completely out of control. It's still out of control. Wasteful earmark spending is a disgrace, and it caused us to alienate our Republican base. So these tax cuts need to be made permanent. Otherwise, they would have the effect of tax increases. But, look, if we had gotten spending under control, we'd be talking about more tax cuts today."
Romney's charges must be giving McCain an uneasy sense of deja vu. The veteran senator is eager to avoid a repeat of the 2000 presidential race, when conservative interest groups questioned his loyalty to their causes and barraged him with negative ads.
McCain has frequently played up his fiscal conservative credentials, particularly his crusades against earmarks in spending bills and his opposition to the expensive Medicare prescription drug benefit.
He has responded by calling Romney a flip-flopper on taxes and other issues, but the fact remains: McCain voted the way Romney says. We find Romney's claim to be True.

From Australia's leading and largest garden shed manufacturer - Absco, we are happy to offer select sheds from their Eco-nomy Range.
Innovation has long been the cornerstone behind the Absco brand success & now the company has furthered its ethical practices & has produced this new to market "Eco-nomy Range" of shed.
The Eco-nomy Range promotes Absco's goal of providing Australia's & the World's best outdoor storage solutions using materials with a reduced enviromental impact.
The Absco Eco Range of garden sheds.....GO GREEN!
►The Eco-nomy Range uses steel that is produced using processes that sigificantly reduce the use of acids, solvents, and caustics
►The Eco-nomy Range uses 100% recycled carton packaging material
►The Eco -nomy Range Carbon Offset Promise: 1 tree planted for every shed produced
These initiatives underpin the Absco initiavtive to impart a smaller enviromental manufacturing footprint.
The garden sheds are manufactured from low maintenance ribbed steel sheeting and are designed to add value to your home. The roof has a slight overhang at both the front & rear of the shed but not the sides & the gables are part of the side walls. The door(s) are located in the front wall (Non-gable). The door(s) are hinged for added security & are reinforced with internal bracing for strength & rigidity.
The gauge of the steel used in this range of sheds is strong & durable, like the other range of Absco sheds. In fact it is the same high tensile .3mm thickness.
Safety Edge: All ABSCO metal sheeting for sheds has a rolled safety edge to minimise the possibility of cuts & mishaps.
Easy To Assemble: The SNAPTiTE® World Wide Patented fast assembly system is used. Snaptite is an innovative design (exclusive to ABSCO) that dramatically reduces the time & effort required to assemble a shed. It reduces the number of fasteners by 75%. This is accomplished by a design that allows for the wall & roof perimeter channels to permanently lock into the wall & roof sheets, without the use of any tools or additional fasteners. Absco sheds assemble up to 80% faster.
Manufactures' Warranty: 10 year written warranty
More Shed Specifications:
Minimum Wall Height: 1785mm
Doors: One Reinforced Hinged Door – 750mm Wide Opening.
Secured By - A Barrel Bolt & Hasp (ready for padlock)

Actual shed size- external base: 1520mm front x 780mm side
Recommended Minimum Concrete Slab Size: 1620mm front x 880mm side
This Represents An Additional 100mm in each direction. This Gives A 50mm Border Around The Outside Of The Centrally Positioned Shed.
Internal Step-Up Rebates For Concrete Slabs (Optional): Used to create a physical barrier that acts to assist in keeping out some of the weather that may otherwise find its way coming into the shed at the base, where the wall meets the slab. Here, the part of the slab inside of the shed, is raised (approx. 15mm) higher than the outside section of the slab where the wall sits.
Recommended Internal Rebate Size: 1480mm front x 740mm side

Pro forma net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2002, excluding the recurring amortization related to Artisan's acquisition of the physical library group of Synopsys, was $413,000, or $0.02 on a diluted per share basis. Including the amortization of these intangibles, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 was $118,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $699,000, or $0.05 per diluted share in the same period last year.
"Our record revenue for the quarter reflected improved performance in our licensing business combined with the largest quarter-over-quarter dollar increase in royalty revenue in our history," commented Mark Templeton, president and chief executive officer of Artisan Components. "This has been a quarter of new records for Artisan's business:
We are seeing an increase in the number of Artisan based designs that are going into manufacturing. We believe that these events may be early signs of a recovery in the semiconductor industry."
Artisan's conference call will be available by telephone at (719) 457-2633 and also live via webcast from Artisan's website or at www.vcall.com beginning at 2:00 p.m. PST (5:00 p.m. EST) on Thursday, January 24, 2002. A telephonic replay will be available through Friday, February 1, 2002 at (719) 457-0820. The passcode for both Artisan's live conference call and telephonic replay is 760150.
Safe Harbor Statement
This press release contains projections and other forward-looking statements, including statements regarding an increase in the number of royalty-bearing products beginning to be manufactured and early signs of a recovery in the semiconductor industry. These statements are subject to various risk factors including the following: the continued demand for semiconductors including Artisan's products and the production of those products in volume; delays in the design process or delays in a customer's project that use Artisan's products; Artisan's ability to negotiate, structure, monitor and enforce agreements for the determination and payment of royalties; and the continuation of the worldwide slowdown in economic activity, as well as continued and substantial weakness in businesses' capital expenditures on technology.
We refer you also to the documents that Artisan files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in particular the section entitled "Factors Affecting Future Operating Results" in Artisan's annual report on Form 10-K and its quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q.

When a girl suckles and licks the tip of the dickhead as if she's being breastfed or drinking out of a nipple-tip bottle.
by Weirdoes June 07, 2009
Similar to a mayonnaise surprise or the infamous slanted oral special only involving a lot more vomit and maybe some tentacle fondling.
Dude, I finally got to get an asian blowjob the other night, but now I feel as though I need a chemical shower.
by Boners & Sweatpants October 08, 2014
The sexual act of shooting cum in the eyes of your partner and immediately sticking your penis back in her mouth. The intended effect is for your partner to have chinky eyes from the burning sensation of semen, and to scream at you in a thick Asian accent due to the large (or small) penis in her mouth imparing her speech. This sexual act is similar to, but slightly different than the sexual act known as the "Angry Pirate".
Me: "Omg yes I came!"
Girl: "radaradarada"
Me: "Aww an Asian Blowjob? How sweet of you!"
Girl: *bites penis and storms off*
Me (Now single due to Asian Blowjob): "Worth it."
Girl: "radaradarada"
Me: "Aww an Asian Blowjob? How sweet of you!"
Me (Now single due to Asian Blowjob): "Worth it."

Rauner wants Quinn to release hiring documents
Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner is calling on Gov. Pat Quinn to release documents related to a federal complaint alleging improper hiring in the Illinois Department of Transportation.
Rauner told The Associated Press Thursday that Quinn should keep promises of transparency by making public documents supposedly detailing hiring issues. He says Quinn is continuing Illinois' history of corruption and cronyism.
Rauner tells AP he hasn't hired friends, family or allies.
The complaint filed Tuesday alleges job qualifications may have been based on clout and says Quinn's administration withheld documents.
Quinn says an audit was ordered and problems addressed.
His campaign spokeswoman Izabela Miltko says Rauner's comments are a distraction to his "pattern of hiding the truth" and says Rauner should release complete tax forms from the last five years.

Police say 41-year-old Orlando Llorente was charged Wednesday with kidnapping, attempted murder and other charges. He was being held Thursday without bail in the Miami-Dade County jail.
Llorente grabbed the 36-year-old woman by the hair on April 21, took her into the bathroom and stuck her head in the toilet, said Miami police spokeswoman Kenia Reyes. She said he also forced her into the bathtub, stuffed a rag in her mouth and poured water over her face.
Police didn't say what was in the Facebook posting that prompted the attack, which authorities said lasted some 16 hours. The woman was let go after promising Llorente she wouldn't tell anyone what happened.
Llorente's attorney, Marcos Beaton, said his client surrendered voluntarily to police and wants to clear his name.
"He reached out to law enforcement, through his lawyers, when these false allegations surfaced. We are disappointed that our requests for more time in which to present a thorough and thoughtful examination into the source of the allegations and the facts surrounding them was declined," Beaton said, according to The Miami Herald.

This has been a wonderful tool for finding roommates! I have been fortunate enough to choose 2 roommates over the course of the last 2 months. Every canidate I met with off of roommates.com was a normal, down-to-earth person seriously looking for a new place to live. If you avidly pursue on roommates.com I am confident that you will find what you're looking for if you're a renter or a landlord. I will use this service again if I run into another empty room in the future!! Thank you. - Rayne
Roommates.com is the best referral service of its kind that I have ever used. It was quick and easy and extremely helpful. It was a lifesaver for me. I found the perfect place and I am very happy. I don't think I could've found it any other way. I don't know how people found roommates before roommates.com!! Thank you, - Tracy

What to CookWeeknight Cooking
Cook This: Dinner Tonight
Inspiration for tonight's dinner: toasty, creamy, rib-sticking classics to thaw that winter chill -- tarted-up grilled cheese and a bacon-kissed potato chowder.
We've neatly condensed the recipes below, but to read the fully fleshed-out versions (and save and print them) just click on the recipe link or photos. A colorful supper in under an hour -- dinner is served!
The Menu
Creamy Potato Soup with Bacon Vinaigrette by OB Cookie
Grilled Pepper Cheese Sandwiches by Savour
The Grocery List
- 12 oz extra sharp cheddar
- 6 oz roasted piquillo peppers
- 3 green onions
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 6 russet potatoes, cut into a 1-inch dice
- 4 pieces thick cut bacon
- 1 cup lowfat sour cream
We're assuming that you have olive oil, butter, onions, vinegar, garlic, celery, carrots, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and sandwich bread on hand -- if not, it's time to stock up!
The Plan
Potatoes First: Since the potatoes will need to boil for 20 minutes, get that going first. Saute celery, carrots, rosemary, garlic and onions in butter (about 10 minutes) and then toss in the cubed russets and 7 cups of broth (water is ok too) and bring to a boil, and then a simmer. Ignore for 20 minutes.
Whizzed Cheese: It makes sense to get the cheese filling ready now, because it's forgiving and doesn't mind sitting for a while. Break the cheddar into chunks and process until it is reminiscent of coarse gravel. Now add the peppers, garlic and mayonnaise and process until the mixture is smooth and spreadable. At this point you could pop it in the fridge for a while, or, since you're going to use it pretty immediately, just let it sit in the food processor.
Still Simmering: Unless your food processor is terribly slow, your potatoes should still need some simmering time at this point, so it's a great moment to make the bacon vinaigrette. Cook the bacon until it is nicely crisped and chop into nibble-sized pieces. Stir it together with the green onions, vinegar, olive oil and salt. Set aside.
Last steps: Assemble the sandwiches and get them in a buttered pan on medium low heat. Keep an eye on them while you pull your potatoes from the heat and toss in 1 cup of sour cream. Puree.
Sit down and eat up: As soon as the sandwiches are toasty and warm, ladle the soup into bowls and garnish the soup with the bacon vinaigrette.
Aside: Stash any leftover peppered cheese to nibble with crackers for tomorrow's lunch. You deserve it. Why? Because dinner is served.

This isn't the first time we've compared a MotoGP rider to an elf, troll, warlock, or hobbit, and it won't be the last. Nice pink shirt Randy, next time try vertical stripes.
Shortly after this photo was taken, the woman in the blue dress was scene taking the French rider home in her pocket, slipping him a peanut when he got hungry. Isn't that precious?

My Ghoul Friday
Check back often!
Recent Moans from the Minions...
Ever wonder what it would take to make some of your friends queasy? Have I got a dish for you.
On imakeprojects.com you'll find not one, but two versions of this recipe (one with regular bacon, one with prosciuttoto) for Roasted Fleshworms.
Basically, pork tenderloin is wrapped with prosciutto and roasted. Dried spaghetti is broken into pieces for teeth. A slit is cut in the stomach area and chili is used for the...uh...guts.
One version is pretty straight forward while the second has you freezing the meat before you cook it. I understand his logic but question his process (there's got to be better ways to solve his dilemma. Read his post and you'll understand what I'm talking about).
I've been asked a few times in the past if I have any tips on creating props using paper mache. I decided it was time to create a tutorial. In fact, I will be adding a collection of tutorials to the 'Horrific How To's' section in the next few weeks.
If you're interested in learning about a basic approach to paper mache, making simple mache casts of objects, and getting some advice from someone who has worked with this medium for a few years, I invite you to read Paper Mache - The Ghoul Friday Way.
I will announce any new tutorials as they are created. Hope you enjoy it!
Naoto Hattori is originally from Japan but has lived, studied and worked in New York for several years now. He went from graffiti tagging under bridges to creating company ads.
Hattori often gets hired for CD cover designs which suits him fine since he's a music fan and feels at home in the scene. You can also catch a glimpse of his art (perhaps only a fleeting glimpse) on snowboards and skateboards (keeping close to his graffiti-roots?).
What I like about him as an artist is that one picture can be soft, welcoming, almost disarming despite the gruesome undertones. The next can be completely in your face, pushing you back in your chair.
Hattori paints whatever fancies him; whatever pops into his head. You might say it reveals a darker side to him, but the man makes a good point about the public and his art:
Someone was talking about Grandin Road on a forum. Being Canadian, I'd never heard of the store. My first impression is Martha Stewart meets Pottery Barn with a hint of (overpriced) IKEA. They have some nice items for Halloween but it's way above my price point ($40 for a wreath. $100 for a lamp).
If I were to create a Christmas wish list, I might have to put this little item near the top. Yes, it's borderline hideous but it reminds me of A Christmas Story ("the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window"); the beloved major award with a Halloween twist.
I especially like the skull at the very top.
Someone needs to tell my beloved Yetch that I've been eyeing this. And reassure him I'd put it in my office.
For any freakish foodies out there, I am the bearer of bad news: your one legal chance to taste - or at least experience the taste of - human flesh has come and gone. The dark window of opportunity was briefly open between May 2005 and June 2006, and we missed it.
Mind you, if the idea of tofu turns you off even more than human flesh, you didn't miss anything.
The product was called Hufu (human tofu). It was the "healthy human flesh alternative", made to mimic the texture and taste (secret ingredient: teriyaki sauce) of human flesh and targeted at - get this - anthropology students studying cannibalism.
While lurking on Facebook, I came across one group's topic that asked the question "Is Halloween Dying Out?". Posters were quick to confirm this, citing sexual predators and political correctness (for example, kids no longer dressing up at their schools) as key causes. In my opinion, they missed the mark somewhat.
Halloween is not dying out, just evolving. Though there are rampant reports of a steady decline in trick or treaters, more and more people are throwing Halloween parties (for themselves as adults but especially for their kids). Instead of going door to door, the children meet up at one house to celebrate the holiday together. There is also an increase in community events that families attend. One stop trick or treating, so to speak. No fuss, no muss.
For those of you in the Minnesota area who've ever said to yourself "I need more culture, but Shakespeare is so...1608", now might be the time to attend some theatre.
The Minnesota Fringe Festival has a wide lineup of shows to choose from, but I'd probably try to see a production by Walking Shadow Theatre Company entitled Shakespeare's Land of the Dead.
Imagine London, 1599. Interior scene: Globe Playhouse. While Shakespeare is trying to launch his play, he's suffering from a few distractions including a plague that is turning his fellow Elizabethans into the walking dead.
The first prop of the year, and it isn't even for me. I'd started making it for a friend last winter, and the poor little thing has been sitting in my office unpainted ever since. I finally took the time to finish it this afternoon.
She's made from styrofoam balls, acrylic paint, bathroom tissue mache, a stick, some moss for the base and an old pot. You can make one just like it using the same technique I did (see Carnivorous Plant in the Horrific How-To's section).
Basically, it's styrofoam balls stuck on wire and attached to a stick. I then dip toilet paper in a glue/water mix and cover the wire with it (creating leaves and eyelids). Wait for it to dry completely. Then start layering different shades and colours of paint.
If you're in the mood for vintage Halloween, there's some fun items on display over at Spookshows.com. The first terrifying toy that caught my eye was Uncle Fester's Mystery Light Bulb ( 1967). The bulb actually lights up in your hand (or your mouth in classic Fester fashion) when the metal lamp base comes into contact with a special ring included in the box (or aluminum foil). Adding an element of danger to this toy is the fact that the bulb base was not reverse threaded which apparently is good if you want to start a fire or give yourself a nice little jolt.
Hailing from California, Alex Pardee is today's artist pick. He is a freelance illustrator and an apparel designer.
His bio, posted on his MySpace Page (and no, I don't link to MySpace Pages because they are just so wrong, but you can access it through his nicely designed, non-abomination-of-code website http://www.eyesuckink.com/), states:
"Final pieces are often brought to life by translating random shapes and colors into signs of torment and absurdity. By juxtaposing these two conflicting moods, Alex makes his works more personal to his viewers, forcing them to project their own feelings and emotions onto each character in his twisted universe. After months of hospitalization and many futile attempts at seeking out professional help, Alex finally overcame his battle with severe depression and anxiety through his own form of therapy: art.
The best place to find current art and WIPs is Instagram
I'm also on Twitter but be prepared for political commentary

FRESNO, Calif. --A state report says a lion shot dead in March by deputies after it mauled a volunteer at a California wildlife park was in perfect health.
| Watch Video Above for Extended Coverage |
The California Animal Health & Food Safety Laboratory said in the report made available on Tuesday that extensive testing shows the male African lion known as Cous Cous did not have rabies, a viral disease that affects the brain. Had the test been positive, it might have explained why the young lion attacked 24-year-old Dianna Hanson of Washington state.
Hanson was cleaning the lion's cage at Cat Haven in the Sierra foothills east of Fresno. The 550-pound lion had been in an adjoining enclosure.
The report said testing was difficult because sheriff's deputies had shot the lion in the head.

Within 15 minute of activating my account with Roommates.com, I found a new place to live. I have spent weeks looking through the paper, and websites for a room to rent. If I had only know this service was so easy, I would have tried it sooner. Thank you- Jason
I was amazed, and relieved to find this site to be so succesful. I was really in a jam when my previous arrangement fell through. I heard from a friend about the site, posted an add, and in one evening I had my pick. That's right, I got to choose whom I wanted to live with. It was like they were bidding for me, I got to choose someone that I am comfortable and compatable with. This move was almost a disaster, thankfully, Roommates.com threw me a life saver, and now I am floating with ease, right into a great home, friendship, and adventure. - Brookes

Conflict intervention, resolution test of effective leadershipColleen Coates
Being able to snuff out the lit fuse of a workplace conflict before it becomes an explosive situation is a true test of leadership.
Every workplace has its share of conflict. In any setting where people are engaged, committed and passionate about what they do, disagreements are inevitable. It means people care enough to disagree strongly. Change also brings conflict. Therefore, it's fair to say that the best organizations aren't those without conflict, but those that know how to deal with conflict in a healthy, constructive way. This is where effective leadership comes in.
A good leader should be able to recognize and understand when two colleagues are able to work toward resolution on their own and when a conflict requires intervention. Any clash that disrupts office harmony or poses a threat to other employees must be immediately managed. If a conflict is occurring frequently or appears to be escalating, intervention is absolutely necessary.
Waiting for such a problem to blow over is not part of the profile of a great leader. By avoiding or refusing to address conflict it will likely grow into resentment. By sweeping it under the rug, you are risking lost productivity, repressed creativity and creating impediments to cooperation and collaboration. Perhaps most detrimental, however, is the chance that good talent will choose to walk away from your organization in favour of a healthier, calmer and safer work environment.
Because conflict is a normal part of any workplace, the challenge lies in how to effectively deal with it.
Here are some tips for handling conflicts in a proactive and productive manner:
Seek out areas of potential conflict. This is not to say go looking for trouble, but spend time identifying and understanding where tensions might flair up so that you might be able to intervene quickly or prevent conflict from arising.
Open up communication with employees. Interestingly, 90 per cent of conflicts at work do not come from something that was said, but something that was not said. Don't assume that their silence means satisfaction. Instead, give your people an outlet to speak their mind early and often so that potential conflict can be nipped in the bud.
Figure out what is at stake. It may not appear to be a major issue to you, but it certainly is to them – and if the issue is important enough to create conflict, it is important enough to step in and resolve. Acknowledging their frustration and fears is a step toward finding a solution.
Intimidation is not the answer. Thinking that you can stamp out conflict with yelling and loud fist thumping will get you nowhere. It might silence a room temporarily, but without addressing the real problem, the conflict that still exists will continue to fester until it resurfaces.
Keep your personal attitude out of it. Avoid bringing your own preconceived notions, attitudes and personality conflicts into the situation, especially if dealing with a problematic employee. Just because they occasionally rub you the wrong way doesn't mean they don't have a legitimate problem that needs your mediation. Focus instead on identifying and resolving the issue. However, if due diligence shows that the individual is indeed the problem, focus on dealing with them at that point.
Meet privately with the parties involved. Create a safe refuge where both parties can express their viewpoint calmly and factually. No drama or emotional outbursts allowed. After each have an opportunity to speak, facilitate the discussion and objectively help pinpoint the root of the problem.
Act decisively, not hastily. Once you have had time to gather and evaluate the information and talked to everyone involved, make a decision and act upon it. Taking too long or leaving things in limbo can damage your credibility, while acting too quickly and erroneously can cause further alienation.
View conflict as opportunity. Every good leader should see the upside to conflict, because behind every disagreement is a potential for growth and development. A chance to hash things out can stimulate innovative ideas and ultimately, strengthen your team.
Of course, despite your best efforts, there is still no absolute guarantee that you will be able to resolve the conflict. You might need to consider bringing in outside mediation or reassigning one individual elsewhere in the organization in order to restore the peace.
Even if you are unable to find a workable resolution, you should be able to say that you've explored all avenues to address the issue positively and constructively. That is the role of a good leader.

Terms of agreement for the deposit of the records
1. Deposit
(i) In these terms of agreement, the word "depositor" shall mean either the person who places documents on deposit, or his/her lawful heir or successor in title, as the context demands, and the word "Council" shall mean Hampshire County Council or any successor local authority who shall, from time to time, be authorised by statute or otherwise, to keep and preserve records. (ii) The word "deposit" shall mean that the party named overleaf as the depositor has placed the records listed in the Schedule hereto in the custody of the Council, but that this in no way alters or otherwise affects the ownership of the records. It is agreed that while the period of custody is herein unspecified, the records shall remain deposited in the custody of the Council for a period sufficient to justify the Council's expenditure on cataloguing and conserving them. In normal circumstances, this would be for a minimum of twenty years
(iii) Documents may be reclaimed by the depositor on the terms specified in section 6 below.
(iv) The Council reserves the right to return to the depositor any records deemed to be of no historical interest or, with the consent of the depositor, to transfer them to a more appropriate place of deposit or to destroy them. (v) The name and address of the owner or depositor will be kept both on file and on acomputerised database permanently for legal purposes, but will not be released to third parties without express permission. In order that Hampshire Record Office can comply with the Data Protection Act, which includes the principle that personal data shall be up to date and accurate, any change in the name and address of the owner or depositor of the records must be notified to the County Archivist. The County Council will not accept responsibility for any consequences which may result from the failure to notify such changes.
(vi) The County Council will become joint data controller with the owner of the records for the period of time they are held at the Record Office, unless otherwise specified. This means that both are responsible for compliance with the principles of the Data Protection Act 1998. Under the Act the Council has an exemption from the second and fifth data protection, allowing the Council to keep archives indefinitely and to allow others to use them for research purposes, provided they are not used to support measures or decisions with respect to particular individuals and provided they are not processed in such a way that substantial distress or damage is or is likely to be caused. Therefore the Council reserves the right to refuse to take records which may still be needed by the owner to support decisions concerning individuals, unless this is at the request of the individual concerned.
2. Preservation
(i) The records will be stored in the Council's Record Office in appropriate environmental conditions with protection against fire and intruders.
(ii) The Council will take all reasonable precautions to preserve the records from damage, loss or theft but shall not otherwise be liable beyond this to the depositor for any damage to or loss or theft of them during the deposit period.
3. Conservation
The Council will be entitled in their absolute discretion to take any of the following actions in respect of the deposited records:
(i) To photograph, microfilm or otherwise copy them; the ownership of all such copies to be vested in the Council.
(ii) To number them with a finding reference for their identification and safe keeping.
(iii) To carry out such work in regard to the conservation of the documents as may from time to time be considered desirable and practicable by the County Archivist within the overall conservation programme of the Record Office.
(iv) To withhold public access to them if in a fragile condition until all practicable and necessary conservation work on them has been completed.

(This is my favarite scene from episode 1. The editor of this project created this
on my request. Thank you, chokubi! I couldn't release the subs without your help!)
This is one of the most beautiful drama I ever seen.
I fell in love with it, so I decided to sub it.
Suzuhara Nao (Matsuyuki Yasuko) is a substitute teacher
at an elementary school.
She meets 7-years-old girl, Michiki Rena (Ashida Mana), who is
abused by her mother and her mother's boyfriend.
Seeing Rena's misery, Nao impulsively takes Rena into her own
custody in the attempt to save her.
Regardless the dark story, directors manage to create sophisticated
drama with artistic cinemagraphy.
Matusyuki Yasuko is doing a great job as usual,
and Ashida Mana, who plays 7-years-old elementary school girl,
is doing an amazing job. I can't believe she is only five in real life.
The subs work for both 1280 and 704.
For 1280, just change the name of the subtitle file
to Mother ep01 (1280x720 x264).ass
Matsuyuki Yasuko as Suzuhara Nao
Ashida Mana as Michiki Rena
Yamamoto Koji as Fujiyoshi Shunsuke
Tanaka Yuko as Mochizuki Hana
Takahata Atsuko as Suzuhara Toko

Ep01 Special thanks to Drazic
This subs are not for sale or streaming.
Do not edit or repost the subs.
Note for ep01
A baby hatch is called a baby mailbox in Japan and there's only one as of now.
Jikei Hospital in Kumamoto set it up in 2007.
Mothers can leave babies in the hatch attached to the hospital anonymously.
The babies are put up for adoption.
It caused a big controversy when it was set up, some argue it encourages child abandonment,
some of the abandoned kids were handicapped, and it is against some laws regarding child raising.
But there are also positive aspects such as it can prevent child abuse and can reduce the abortion rate.
Note for ep02
Marimokkori. (During Rena is playing word game, she says the name of character popular in Hokkaido.)
Check this out.
Note for ep03
Growth Record (Boshi Kenko Techo) is a small notebook to keep a record of pregnancy/child-related facts.
Such as, the mother's health, the progress of pregnancy and childbirth conditions, and also of the newborn's condition.
Even until the child reaches school age, it will include the child's health, growth development and vaccination history.
The boshi kenko techo is provided by a local municipal office to expecting mothers who submit a pregnancy report.
Note for Ep11
but my assumption is that because 20 years old is legal age in Japan, Tsugumi can act on her own
without her mother, Hitomi's consent.
While I believe there's no law preventing them from seeing each other after Nao's probation's up,
usually children at foster care are not allowed to see adults besides their relatives.
About the on-screen notes.
Notes are for additional information, so they are timed to be short for people who
are interested in reading them.
You have to pause the video to read them.
I don't like leaving notes on the screen for long time since it's distracting,
and usually my notes are long.
The note shouldn't affect the understanding of the subs.
When viewers need to read them to understand the subs, I usually time it longer.
My next project will be Pure.

Megan Rietema, a senior from Calvin College, was named the 2014 DIII Woman of the Year nominee for volleyball as announced by Executive Director Chris Voelz of THE Collegiate Women Sports Awards (CWSA) presented by Honda.
She is now designated one of 11 finalists for the prestigious DIII Woman Athlete of the Year honor. This will be voted on at the end of the academic year by national balloting among 1,000 NCAA member schools as part of THE CWSA program, now in its 38th year.
Rietema, a native of Grand Rapids, Mich., was named the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Division III National Player of the Year and led Calvin to the 2013 NCAA DIII Championship title. She was also a member of the program's first Championship squad in 2010. The four-year starter is a three-time first-team AVCA All-American.
An exceptional setter, she is also a threat on both offense and defense after averaging 9.76 assists, 1.90 kills, 2.67 digs and 0.65 blocks per set on the season. This season she was also tabbed the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association's (MIAA) Most Valuable Player and earned All-MIAA first-team honors for the fourth year in a row.
"I am very humbled by this nomination, " stated Rietema. "I've never played the game for awards. I've played the game for my team and this type of honor is just a reflection on my teammates who have helped me along the way. Coach Warners has also been a huge blessing to me. As a former Calvin volleyball setter herself, she has helped me so much in becoming the player and person that I am today. She has been a true role model to me."
"It is an incredible honor for Megan to receive this nomination," said head coach Amber Warners. "She has worked extremely hard throughout her career, particularly this year when she led our team to its second national championship. She was the heart-and-soul of our team and it was fitting that she scored the final point in the national championship final this year. She will go down as one of the greatest players to ever wear a Calvin volleyball uniform."
All sports nominees from DIII and DII become a finalist for the prestigious 2014 CWSA Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year in their respective divisions, presented in June. The sports nominees are recognized in 11 DIII and DII NCAA-sanctioned sports; cross country, basketball, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, soccer,softball, swimming & diving, tennis, volleyball, and track & field.
THE Collegiate Women Sports Awards has honored the nation's top NCAA women athletes for 37 years, recognizing superior athletic skills, leadership, academic excellence and eagerness to participate in community service. Since commencing its sponsorship in 1986, Honda has provided more than $2.7 million in institutional grants to the universities of the award winners and nominees to support women's athletics programs at the institutions.

Mexico's Masked Vigilantes Defy Drug Gangs—And the Law
AYUTLA, Mexico—Masked men, rifles slung over their shoulders, stand guard on a lonely rural road, checking IDs and questioning travelers. They wear no uniforms, flash no badges, but they are the law here now.
A dozen villages in the area have risen up in armed revolt against local drug traffickers that have terrorized the region and a government that residents say is incapable of protecting them from organized crime.

Heard on the Message Board
Chatted with anyone on a message board lately? Over the years I have searched for pertinent information, but never written queries. During a genealogy discussion group meeting one of our members shared tips on using this resource.
Here are a few of her recommendations to write an effective message.
*Make your query stand out to the people that have the information you need
*Capitalize surnames - include related names to place people in context
*Get to the point quickly
*Offer to share and exchange information
*Include places you have already checked
*Sign your name with something snappy
*Repost periodically, especially when you discover new information
*Post on related names boards, locality boards, sibling's married name boards, etc.
For many years I have researched my husband's Conley line from the eastern shore of Maryland. We had not been very successful in locating information for these ancestors. The main problem being various surname spellings in each generation. Early records had them listed as Conly, Connlley, and Conllay. At some points I believed I would never unravel this mystery.
Using these helpful hints I felt confident in creating a message for this vexing family line. Very shortly after posting we received an email with valuable information to connect all the dots. I have also had tremendous success locating cemeteries, finding vital records, and making family connections.
Here are several websites with and about message boards:

Deb, you brought up an excellent way to find relatives or info. about ancestors, and this is how I did it way back when...before google. The only suggestion I have, is to contact the site, should you ever change your email address.ReplyDelete
I love message boards and I post my message on many to make sure it hits many different people. We are creatures of habit and most like one board over another, so sometimes it pays to get it out there.ReplyDelete
I also find Genealogy Wise a good place to post a query. Sometimes I get a quicker answer there.
I'm so glad for you that posting on a message board brought you tremendous success! We also have many, many spellings of our surname--definitely frustrating! I'm going to save your URLs of message boards -- thank you for this list, Deb! and thank you for the post!ReplyDelete
