I have heard, ever since I started hanging out with other writers over a decade ago, first online and then in person, that their muse is on vacation, or being a pain and not talking to them. I never (until last year) understood this. For as long as I can remember, back into very young childhood, I had "voices in my head." No, not the religious zealot voices telling me I'm the new messiah or that I should harm my family or step into traffic. These voices were characters, people. Always people, and very real to me. I thought of them as my imaginary friends. Truth was they weren't really my "friends" because they didn't really play with me. They carried on their little lives around me, talking with each other. I was more of an observer to them, which wasn't too different than my real life. I was a loner for the most part, with very few real-life friends. I'm still that way.
When I was in jr. high, I penned my first romance. Spiral bound notebook and Bic ballpoint I carried everywhere, scribbling down things as they came, as the people in my head played out their little lives. My imaginings had changed as hormones changed and I wrote a story about my first crush and a girl with a different name but who strangely resembled myself. Even then, before I really ever read a whole novel from start to finish, I was writing stories about other people in third person. Badly, mind you, but at twelve or thirteen I was a writer. I was compelled to write, to put those stories the voices were acting out onto paper to get them out of my head.
I never dated in high school, didn't have my first boyfriend until my senior year, and then he was much older than I and it didn't go very far for several reasons. I didn't like high school boys because they were "stupid" and "immature." I had crushes, but they were always older and unattainable, but I felt that I would wait for them instead of lowering my mental age to be with the guys my age. Not dating, not being caught up in the roller coaster of teen angst and romance, I was able to devote a lot of time to writing and the romances in my head were a heck of a lot better than anything in my real life, or going on around me in my friends' real lives. My stories got bolder, longer, more realistic – at least to my oh-so-mature teenage brain. It was my outlet. As it turned out I suffered pretty severe clinical depression my whole adolescence that went undiagnosed until I was in my early twenties. I know now, looking back, the voices in my head and my ability to escape reality probably, in the end, saved my life a time or two. Once I started reading romances, medieval historical at first and then westerns, I was hooked. I knew my course in life was to write these books!
I read veraciously. A couple books a week. When I wasn't in school or working – I had 2 jobs my last two years of high school – I had my face buried in a book or my notebook where I jotted down ideas that flew at me from every direction. There was never, ever a lack of ides.
As time went on, and notebooks were filled with stories, I wound up with a man – seriously not hero material, but I can't bash the father of my child in public – and I gave up writing because I didn't have the time, and my partner didn't think of it as a worthy pastime to pursue. I believe the term was, "your stupid stories," though since he never read one I'm not sure how he came to that conclusion. But for years I quit writing and kept them in my head. But they were still there and very active.
Through the depression, severe back issues, and then an unexpected pregnancy, I spent most of my free time when I wasn't working, watching the little movies play out by the people who wanted to tell me their stories. When I was in pain and couldn't sleep, I closed my eyes and watched them, listened to them, joined them in their lives. I escaped with them.
Again, time went on, and I left that marriage, only to find myself headed quickly toward another one with a wonderful man who encouraged me in whatever I wanted to do. He knew I wanted to write, and he told me I should…though I wasn't sure if I could any longer, it had been years since I put pen to paper. We'll be celebrating our 15th anniversary this year. He's still my hero – though rather flawed, but those are the good ones, right?
My youngest brother – 10 years older than myself – came to my wedding. He stayed in our apartment for a few days prior to the wedding, and while I was out picking up some groceries, he'd gone through my bookshelves that were in the living room…and found my big red binder. I came back to see him sitting on the futon in the living room reading my book.
Oh, I wanted to die! No one…and I mean no one, especially not my brother, was supposed to read that!
He was the first person to ever read anything I wrote – outside of a wonderful high school English teacher – who told me it was good. He wanted to know when I was going to get published.
I don't remember if I even responded, I was so shocked. Of course, the fact that I wrote sex scenes and my brother read them was devastating to me at the time. Yes, I was twenty-five. Yes, I had a kid so I obviously knew what sex was and how to do it, but this was my big brother. I'm the baby of 10. I don't talk to them about sex!
A few days later he asked me what my 5 year goals were now that I was starting a new life. I told him, honestly, that my biggest goal was to be published. Almost 5 years to the day, I called him when that book he'd read, and pushed and nudged and bugged me into sending to publishers, got a contract.
In those five years, with two massive supporters – my husband and my brother – I had the courage to get back to writing. And finally started using a computer so I didn't have hand cramps every night.
In those five years, I never, ever had a lack of ideas. In fact, sometimes they came so fast, one on top of another, I wouldn't get one book finished before I was chomping at the bit to start the next one. For a few more years I enjoyed this wonderful urge to write, need to write. If I didn't write I got cranky, and if too many people crowded my head, I got to the point I listened to them more than the people around me. The people around me didn't find this amusing. "Mom, I told you that three days ago!!!" I heard that a lot.
I look back on that time as a miracle, because now I've learned what it is to sit in front of the computer and stare at that blank white sheet of paper and wish there was something in my head, that someone would talk to me, to each other. For a year the voices were silent, and I honestly feared they'd never return. I had learned what writer's block was – at least my form of it. I learned that my muse needed a long vacation and wanted nothing to do with me while I suffered depression, anger, anxiety over health issues I had no control over.
A few months into the silence, I had to step back and say, "Okay. I get it." And I quit trying to get the words out, because there simply weren't any, and the frustration and anxiety I suffered when I even tried to write was adding to my overall health problems. My muse had committed suicide…or at least that was my fear.
But then miracle of miracles, two months after surgery, when I could breathe for the first time in over a year – literally, I could walk to the car and not get winded – the voices started to return, the urge to write came back. I had anxiety over this too! What if I didn't remember how to write. I'd never gone a year without writing, without the voices and people in my head.
It was Kate who pushed, nudged and kicked my butt to do something. And I did. Finally. And then my publisher gave me some ideas for a short series, and I got going on it. I got my inspiration back. The muse was resurrected. The voices have returned.
Finally, I feel normal again. I hope and pray the voices never leave me again.

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney swung through Chicago today to raise money and put together a state campaign team for another run at the White House.
Romney named state Treasurer Dan Rutherford as his Illinois chairman. Rutherford did the same honors during 2008, when Romney finished a distant second in this state to eventual nominee Sen. John McCain.
"Rutherford) was with me last time around, and made things happen here. This time we're going to be more successful," Romney said while talking with reporters after he and Rutherford had a lunch meeting with area business owners at Gino's East pizzeria in the Near North neighborhood.

Since I have SO much makeup these days, I find it hard getting super excited about a new product. I actually love writing about products that I am super excited about, because they are actually a lot more fun to write, and I also get so excited sharing great products with you! My latest lip obsession is by Shanghai Suzy.
Shanghai Suzy is a brand that was launched mid last year and it's a Melbourne based company (Melbourne pride!). Not only do I love supporting locals (and I love the name, because Shanghai is one of my favourite cities), but these lipsticks are only $12.95 each! That's crazy cheap in the Australian cosmetics industry.
They do bring out different colours in the Spring/Summer season and the Autumn/Winter season, so the current shades on the online store are the A/W shades. You can check out the online store here (and shopping is a flat $6.95 for orders under $65, or free for orders over $65). You can also check out the list of stockists to see if they are available in store near you.
The two shades I were sent are Miss Melissa (hot pink) and Miss Maxima (burnt orange).
I am in love with these shades, and I am not exaggerating when I say that ever since getting these (about a week and a half ago), these are the only lipstick I have worn when I have left the house!
Not only are these super vibrant, pigmented, and comfortable to wear, but they last and last and last! I wear these to work and each shade lasts perfectly until I eat (when it ends up looking more like a stain) and then I reapply after lunch and it lasts until dinner. Amazing! These even last through my various coffees and drinks that I am constantly sipping on at work.
Check out how bold and gorgeous they are on the lips...
|Miss Melissa
|Miss Maxima
Miss Melissa is very very similar to Lime Crime's Centrifuchsia, but Miss Melissa is a little more warm toned. Miss Maxima is very similar to Bobbi Brown Lip Colour in Orange 7 (which I featured in my top 5 orange lip colours) but Miss Maxima is brighter and had a longer wear time, but the Bobbi Brown shade is creamier. On the lips, these lipsticks look VERY similar.
In Australia Lime Crime lipsticks retail for around $23 and the Bobbi Brown lipstick retails for $45.
|Top: Shanghai Suzy Miss Melissa, Bottom: Lime Crime Centrifuchsia
|Top: Shanghai Suzy Miss Maxima Bottom: Bobbi Brown Lip Colour in Orange 7
The only thing I don't like about these lipsticks is that the packaging is quite bulky, but I can look past that because the quality is great and the price is amazing! This is a brand to watch!
Great job Shanghai Suzy!

Pennsylvanians who want to create inheritances for their loved ones may be wary of giving beneficiaries full control over valuable properties. Whether these feelings are motivated by reasons of perceived irresponsibility or other factors, estate creators can employ trust structures to help manage inheritance assets based on predetermined plans.
According to some estate planners, many adult children are simply unprepared to manage their finances or suddenly handle receiving large sums of money. To help these beneficiaries avoid making mistakes that might compromise their inheritances, trust grantors can designate parties known as trustees who will control the estate and its distribution. Trustees act according to explicit trust stipulations, such as limitations that only dole out a specific percentage of the assets on an annual basis. Other terms might grant the trustee more decision-making power, such as the ability to determine when and how payouts are made.
Experts also note that although trust creators can name anyone as a trustee, picking a trustee from among beneficiaries may be viewed as unfair or lead to bad blood between inheritors. Many grantors rely on family friends, professional financial advisors or impartial fiscal institutions that specifically offer trust management services.
Although trusts are common estate vehicles, they come in a wide range of types. They can also be created in unique ways, like through terms in wills or via charitable trust contributions. Because these structures have different tax and legal implications, it's important to select an option that works for the beneficiaries as well as the grantors. Those who plan their estates with lawyers might have an easier time creating trusts that actually serve their intended purposes.

This Quirky Design of Skull Jewelry
Skulls are considered the oldest and powerful symbols which are familiar to humans. This is the primary reason as to why they have evolved into the fashion line-up. They are trending among all the forms of designer pieces
1. Celebrating Life
In the ancient times, the Aztecs and the Egyptians visualized the skull as the basic symbol of rebirth and death. All types of Skull Jewelry were adopted by the Aztecs and the Egyptians during the celebrations. It is this historical relevance that bears testament to the popularity of such jewelry.
It is synonymous with the celebration of life and also represents transformation and rebirth. The various mysteries and stories associated with it often provide the impetus for people to purchase the jewelry. People try to incorporate these kinds of accessories to signify happiness in one's own life.
2. Bravery and Toughness
During the Elizabethan Period in ancient Europe acceptance of people in the underworld was represented by "head skull. The symbolism of the Skull Jewelry was inspiring to many who, during rebellious activities wore it.
Some groups would represent their clans and membership to a particular group with the help of skull accessories. Some wear it as a testimony to their bravery, gallantness, and courage. Men prefer them the most because they feel it displays their inner strength and masculinity.
3.Trendy and Appealing
The most of them who choose to wear skull embossed jewelry wear them simply because of the fashion appeal it possesses. Some select them by diamonds or gemstones engraved onto them. The whole trend of the skulls has been accepted wholeheartedly.
They were initially welcomed too with open arms too, and with the increasing popularity, most designers are preparing replicas of them with various other designs. They are also being integrated with other designs to create one-of-a-kind statement accessories. Crossbones, snakes, butterflies, and crosses are being mixed and matched with skulls to create new designs.
Trending Styles in Men's Eyewear for 2017
In this post, we will guide you through the trending frame styles for men, and in between, we also have a few tips for your shopping needs.
1. Tortoise Shell Prints
Shell prints have been trending for a while now, and this is an excellent choice for men who are not fond of block colored frames. Many of the leading brands have other animal-print inspired designs, as well, so there are plenty of ideas. As for the shape, you can go for something casual in the rectangular designs, or else, just pick up an edgy wayfarer!
2. Transparent Frames
Well, if you love wearing eyeglasses that almost feel like second skin, this is the trend for you. Initially, women experimented more with the clear and transparent frames, but the trend is catching up with men, as well. You can go for a pair of lightly tinted but clear frames with matching lenses, or just play it smooth with an entirely transparent design – The choice is yours.
3. Metallic Wire Frames
Gold and silver frames always look classy and edgy at the same time, and you will love the new-age designs that almost feel like metallic wire. These are thin frames that have a nice metallic finish, and the look is incredibly easy and efficient, depending on what kind of shape you pick. For men who don't love the idea of wearing bulky glasses, this is something that should work without losing the drama.
4. Purple is Here
For a while, blue ruled the color palette in men's eyewear, but thankfully, we have now switched to purple. The color itself is flattering, and you can try both semi-transparent and opaque frames in a wide number of shapes. Red is also one of the favorite colors in eyeglasses, but most men might not find it masculine enough, at least for daily wear. Surely with purple, you are safe and ready to go.
5. Completely Black
Black frames have a very nerdy look, which works perfectly for men who spend nine hours or more at work. Not everyone is fond of trendy eyeglasses, and simplicity is your thing, a nice pair of black eyeglasses in a frame shape of your choice is a sound investment. Also, this style never really goes out of vogue, and one can experiment with endless forms, including wayfarers and round frames.
Trends In Fashion Jewellery
Jewellery has been since the ancient times to adorn and add on to your beauty. Diamonds are considered as women's best friends and are always the preferred choice for jewellery. Gold jewellery never goes out of fashion. Whatever be the changes in fashion, gold jewellery is always been there in the trend. The most known one among the precious metals is gold.
The recent trends in gold jewellery have decent and elegant designs. You can check them online on various websites as well. You can either look for a local shop or order online gold jewellery. However, the shops might not have a wide variety of what you are looking for. So you can select your favorite piece from the wide options available online and order them to get them delivered to your door step. There is too much choice in jewellery so you have to make sure that you pick the perfect one for the perfect occasion.
Fashion never stays the same. It constantly keeps on changing with time and if you are a fashion lover then you should be updated with the latest fashion. Gold is never out of trend since it is expensive. Gold is a precious metal that increases in value over time. However, this is a very good investment and experts suggest buying more gold while the prices are still lower.
While still considering on the fashion side, gold is a classic and it is never outdated. Though some designs may be a bit traditional or old-fashioned, still, many women enjoy the elegance of wearing gold jewellery. So if you're planning to get one for yourself or a set for your friend, choose designs that are classic and complementary to the receiver's fashion sense.
Mixing and matching jewellery with the latest styles in clothing is a never-ending experiment amongst women. Right from women's rings to necklaces, pendants, earrings, designers have something new and unique. Jewellery can never be an exception mainly for the fashionista since it enhances the natural beauty, style and nature of every woman.
If you desire to look like your fashion icon or a glamorous movie star or musician then celebrity style jewellery must be your ultimate choice. A trendy and fashionable piece of jewellery can highlight your beauty. It can even increase your fashion quotient, despite your age. Your style is evident to the jewellery you adorn. This may help you stay in tune with the latest fashion trends.

After six years of marriage, rumors are swirling that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are heading for a divorce.
And in recent weeks, Nick has done little to quell rumors of trouble, giving In Touch a terse "no comment" when asked in late June if he and Mariah, 44, were splitting. Instead, he tellingly added that he puts his kids, twins Moroccan and Monroe — not his wife — "before everything."
8 Famous Ladies Who Are Worth More Than Their Beaus!
The strain seems to be taking a toll on Mariah as well. At the Hercules afterparty on July 23, "she got carried away with her drinking," an eyewitness, who saw her down two (!) bottles of champagne, tells In Touch. "She seemed so drunk, her bodyguards had to help her walk out."
"They're both pouring their energy into their careers, and neither seems interested in fighting to save the marriage," an insider exclusively shares, noting that with a combined $495 million fortune, a formal split will be "a financial nightmare to untangle" even though they have a prenup.

Kill la Kill and Toriko on the other hand fall right to the bottom. No disrespect to Toriko though but nothing happened in the episode. Kill la Kill though plummeted because it was a really weird episode that did not feel exciting. Kuroko no Basket felt so intense and its only a preliminary match.

By Alex Tekip
Ever since collegiate athletes were young, playing youth sports in their hometown, they have been encouraged to practice sportsmanship. Constant reminders from a dad on the sideline encouraged children to play to win, but to respect their opponent. Handshakes and compliments after games served as a code of conduct. However, once athletes make it past peewee soccer and little league, official regulations are put into place; mandates put forth by the NCAA. Professionalism and lack there of becomes rigidly defined.
In order to create a behavioral code of conduct for college athletes, the NCAA must first define what "sportsmanship" is. According to the NCAA's committee for sportsmanship and ethical conduct, there are seven ideals of sportsmanship to which an athlete should adhere: respect, caring, fairness, civility, honesty, integrity, and responsibility. The Big Ten Conference has a "BIG policy," encouraging student athletes and fans to be bold when cheering on their team, but do so with integrity and respect for the opponent, as a great leader would.
However, the policy that hits closest to home is Michigan State University's values regarding the behavior of athletes; such as respect, positive attitude, focus, accountability, continued improvement, and integrity. Sportsmanship policies are geared more towards fans, under the "Spartan Fans, Raise Your Shield" campaign.
Why is it that MSU does not seem to have an athletic policy directly mentioning the word "sportsmanship?" It is likely that one reason for this is the detailed sportsmanship and athletic behavioral policies of the NCAA and the Big Ten. But, there could be another reason, one that is a little less obvious: the implications of giving a concrete definition to sportsmanship.
Juan Javier Pescador, who teaches college sports history at MSU, said a concrete code of scholarship would place even more pressure upon student athletes because they would be expected to perform with a high level of athletic ability while "(being) forced to follow a code of conduct in which they have no say."
Pescador also believes that sports governing organizations and athletes would have a much better relationship if one could learn to listen to the other.
"The disconnect that exists between athletes and institutions make it difficult for any athletic governing board to create a policy that is accepted by both," Pescador said. "Athletes are of a younger generation and have a very different idea of what sportsmanship is than those of the older generation; the ones who make the rules."
It seems what athletes and athletic administrators need is a compromise, an agreement to show respect for the game in a way that is understood and agreed upon by both sides.
In 2007, The United States Olympic program launched a campaign to promote good sportsmanship. The guidelines required athletes to follow the conventions of sportsmanlike conduct, such as "assist competitors in need," "acknowledge competitor's skills," "appreciate those who support you" and "accept praise with grace and humility."
These behaviors may seem relatively simple to enact, but it is difficult to do so in a society that gives more media attention to actions that seem to promote unsportsmanlike conduct, such as the infamous "stomp" by Detroit Lions defensive tackle, Ndamakong Suh during a heated Thanksgiving Day game.
According to a Forbe's survey, Suh's actions placed him at number four on the list of "Most Hated Athletes in America." While apologetic for his actions, Suh noted that after one foul action he was "suddenly on the same level as Skeletor–the worst."
In a later interview with ESPN, Suh remarked on the prestige that comes with being an athlete and the importance of having a professional attitude, stating that "[playing sports] requires a calm and composed demeanor, which cannot be derailed by the game, referee calls, fans, or other players."
This year saw another incident similar to Suh's at the collegiate level.
During the Michigan vs. Michigan State game at Spartan Stadium this year, Michigan State defensive end William Gholston supposedly violated the Big Ten's sportsmanship conduct rules by punching lineman Taylor Lewan and twisting the helmet of quarter back Denard Robinson. MSU and the Big Ten put Gholston's actions, for which he was flagged during the game, under further review with the result being Gholston's suspension from MSU's homecoming game against Wisconsin.
While there was no arguing that some sort of consequence would come from Gholston's actions, it is important to note that he was simply following orders.
In an Oct. 17 interview with USA Today, Michigan State defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi said, "We were trying to play '60 minutes of unnecessary roughness,' and we were lucky that we didn't get called on every snap."
Both Gholston and Jordan Kovacs, a safety for the University of Michigan, who were also interviewed by USA Today, had the same feelings as Narduzzi.
Kovacs noted the intense rivalry between the two teams requires nothing less than playing rough, that it's simply "how it goes."
Gholston defended his actions saying, "Everyone makes mistakes when (they're) trying to go hard."
Gholston said he viewed the helmet grab as him giving it his all during a heated game which required him to do so, but the MSU athletic department as well as the Big Ten conference ultimately considered Gholston's conduct to be "unsportsmanlike."
According to some sports columnists and bloggers, such as ESPN.com's Brian Bennett, the Big Ten's intervention in this matter reflected a broken sportsmanship policy within MSU. Head football coach Mark Dantonio made very little comment on the investigation, which, according to Bennett, lasted three days longer than it should have. MSU could have made the process painless and easy by giving Gholston the one game suspension themselves, without intervention from the conference, according to Bennett.
It is situations like Gholston's that Pescador calls into question where authority, the media and the athletes themselves view an athlete's performance differently. Pescador said this results in miscommunication between all three of these figures (as seen in the Gholston case), and reflects the "media revolution" that is overtaking sports at all levels.
"Athletes, both at the college and professional level, have very little private life," Pescador said. "They are subjected to a lot of pressure based on how they are perceived by the media, and must cultivate a public figure at all times. If athletes view their athletic performance as them versus regulations/authority and vice versa, they could face serious consequences, especially in their public image."

BRUSSELS (AP) — Much of the transport in Europe's capital, Brussels, came to a halt Wednesday as public sector workers held a one-day strike over Belgian government austerity measures.
International train lines like Thalys and Eurostar, the national SNCB railway system, bus and underground services were all hit hard by the strike, which is to run until late Wednesday.
The big Brussels Nord station was fully closed and the trains to Brussels from Paris and London were also severely affected, although those between London and Paris were running as normal. Thalys fast trains to Amsterdam, Cologne and Paris were also be hit.
"I had a lot of meetings today in Paris," complained Nicolas De Kerangal, a French traveler. "I need to reschedule everything right now, and I will go to there tomorrow."
Brussels airport authorities warned travelers to show up early and look for alternative transport, since although flights were unaffected getting to the airport was proving difficult.
The socialist ACOD union leading a protest said that cuts in budgets and staffing in public institutions by the center-right government of Prime Minister Charles Michel have to soon take their toll on services.
"This is our only option: make sure that the government can see this strong signal," said ACOD leader Chris Reniers. Employers' federations lamented the action, which kept many at home and further undermined productivity during difficult times.

Freedom as an Adult vs. Freedom as a child/
Today, I'm writing about freedom.
Sometimes when someone is trying to figure out what they really want to do, I'll ask them "What would you do if money weren't any issue?"
This isn't a remarkable question. It's one of the first questions that counsellors, job placement specialists, coaches, and your best friends will ask you whenever you seek their counsel in deciding what's next.
But that's not the point.
Many people answer this question by saying that they would travel the world non-stop, throw away all of their possessions, go nomad, get drunk every day, etc.
These answers reflect a fundamental desire to seek freedom. But what is freedom exactly?
Most people relate to freedom as never having the feeling of being hemmed in. Never having to feel like they have to do something they don't want to do. The four-hour workweek screams directly into the heart of this listening.
Just think of how much freedom you would have if you only had to work four hours a week!
But there's a problem with this kind of freedom.
It's not true freedom — it's freedom based on a feeling. It's rooted in the idea that you can somehow capture a specific way of feeling, and only experience life from that particular feeling.
It's a childish type of freedom. The freedom we felt when we were young and rebelling against the tyranny of our parents. It's a freedom borne out of a desire not to be controlled, not to have to do what we're told to do by other people. A freedom that is ultimately about our feelings.
It's this kind of freedom that has people resist commitment.
See, the problem with commitment is that it means you have to do things you don't always want to do (read: things that you don't feel like doing). Commitment sometimes/frequently pits you against your feelings.
If you're operating from a model of freedom that means you never have to do something you don't feel like doing, commitment creates quite a problem for you.
Here's another model of freedom: Freedom from the tyranny of your feelings.
Have you noticed that your feelings don't really have much to do with what you want to create in the world?
Martin Luther King didn't wake up every morning and feel like leading the civil rights movement. It was what he was committed to.
Leadership requires continually re-enrolling yourself in what you're up to precisely for this reason. You're going to have days where you wake up and don't feel like doing a damn thing. You're going to have days when you wake up and don't feel like doing anything.
Frankly, I have those days 3-4 times a week.
Commitment is the thing that grants you freedom from these feelings. Commitment is the thing that allows you to create what you want, in the face of your feelings.
This is what adult freedom looks like. It doesn't mean that you feel great every day. It doesn't mean that you don't have days that feel shitty, days where you don't want to do what you're up to, or days where you can't figure out why you said you were going to take this thing on in the first place.
Those days still happen, because, shockingly, you are still a human.
What commitment gets you is freedom from those days — those feelings — determining how life turns out for you.
That kind of freedom is adult freedom.

Perfect trip from start to finish. The staff couldn't have been any more helpful, engaging or knowledgable. The facilities are second to none, and the rooms are better than the photos. Then comes the tour itself, totally magical, we got involved in everything, feeding, harnessing and attaching dogs to the line which made the trip even better. Felt safe and exhilarated all at the same time. Stayed in three overnight lodges on the plateau, all warm and cosy with sauna. Take your sauna gear they provide towels. I could go on for days about this trip and still wouldn't be able to describe how good this tour was so book it yourself and see. One tip, use their boots and gloves and take lots of thermal socks. By the way we travel a lot and know when the bar has been raised.

We booked this experience through Fred Olsen during a cruise to the Norwegian Arctic and are so very glad we did. To ride on a sledge behind a team of huskies was fantastic beyond belief and the staff were enthusiastic,friendly and informative. The tour included a most interesting talk on the dogs in which we learned of their origins and characteristics together with details of their care and well being. It was also possible to meet the animals face to face and found them to be very approachable and friendly. Well worth a visit. During our ride I was able to take a number of videos shots with my camcorder which have been edited into a 10 minute souvenir.

Happy 4th of July!! I hope everyone is having a great day off; I know we are! Jesse and I had been contemplating what to do for July 4th for the past week or two, and we thought of going to see the Flying Squirrels baseball game in Richmond or even the Nationals play in D.C. We decided against going to D.C. because I just got home from a big trip to Puerto Rico, and when we went to buy Squirrels tickets, they were sold out. We were pretty bummed, but we woke up to a rainy day and we had a nice relaxing day instead!
Jesse has been saying for months now (I'm not kidding you – MONTHS) about how he realllllllly wants to have a hot dog on the fourth of July. He kept randomly bringing it up and I knew we had to make it happen. We thought we'd be at a baseball game so it would be no problem getting him one, but change in plans! We were going to cook our own American meal at home. I am not a big fan of hot dogs, but have been wanting to attempt black bean burgers for a while. I made a batch about a year ago that were just not that good. They were crumbly, fell apart, and it was really hard to get them to cook all of the way through. The ones I made tonight were perfect! I mostly stuck to this recipe, except for I used Cholula hot sauce instead of sriracha and I left out the worcestershire sauce. I also "mashed" my black beans together with the spices in my food processor. I think this was the key step that made them perfect! They were soooo easy to form into patties and held together really well. I think that was a big reason that my last attempt failed. Thank you food processor!
This was also the first time that I have ever used a flax "egg." If you don't know what that is, it's a substitute often used in vegan cooking where you mix ground flaxseed and water and let it sit to create a gel-like consistency that can be used to hold things together instead of eggs. It worked great! I hope to try using that in other recipes. I hesitated to even post about the flaxseed because now when Jesse sees that he is going to be freaked out, but it does not add a weird taste or anything! (Side note: he doesn't like beans so has not tried my burger; however, he says these look pretty good and he may actually have one. Here's hoping!)
I cut up a sweet potato for me and a regular potato for Jesse and tossed them with some olive oil, salt, and garlic powder and baked at 450 degrees for about 35 minutes. You can see that Jesse bought some festive poppers from the store! We both were extremely happy with our finished plates and cut up a watermelon for dessert. Who says you have to be at an All-American baseball game to really celebrate the fourth?! I'm pretty excited because making a batch of burgers means leftovers!!! Which means eating yummy, healthy food and not having to cook. The best. Okay, well happy fourth everyone! I hope you try out these awesome black bean burgers and enjoy them as much as I did!

Organizing Function of Management
The second of the four basic management activities is organizing. By setting up and implementing the correct organization form or structure for their size and their people, a company can fulfill its purpose and make the necessary profit to continue, or even to excel. These structures will more than likely change over time as the company grows and changes, but this is the nature of the beast' and what most of Corporate America have come to expect. The most efficient way to set up a structure for organization and management is to evaluate their employees and utilize the strengths of some to make up for the weaknesses of others. They will find that by making sure that everyone is able to do their job, and just possibly likes doing their job, the process will run much more smoothly and everyone will show up to work more dependably.
Brian's Cabinets
The company I work for, Brian's Cabinets is a very small company still. However, as it is still small enough to be very flexible with its processes, it is also a successful company and one of the best respected in Central Oregon. There are a total of about 150 people in the entire company the owner, 5 managers, 3 admin personnel (including myself), 8 salespeople, 4 engineers, 20 installation, and approximately 110 production/delivery workers. This is a rough estimate, as the number of production/delivery personnel tends to change very quickly. It is not an easy job and many find that they are just not cut out for it.
Physical assets
At Brian's, the tracking of our physical assets is mainly done by production supervisors. The supervisors for each section keep a running tally and do weekly counts on what they have and what they need in their area. These lists are given to our Purchasing Department (of one man) and he enters everything into the computer and reconciles what we have with what we should have and makes the necessary orders for the next week. After this information...

Folks in my industry seem to think that Excel makes a dandy vehicle for passing data from desk to desk, and company to company. In fact, it sucks for that purpose. One of the characteristics you want most from a data transfer system is that the data emerge unchanged at the far end. You can't count on this with Excel. Excel changes too much, and makes too many assumptions about the data.
The problems are shared by Excel per se, and the Excel database drivers.
I spend a couple hours each week preparing Excel files before reading the data into my SqlServer database.
The most obvious problem is that Excel will change text to numbers, causing leading zeros to disappear from SSNs and aip codes. There are also problems getting dates recognized as dates. If the top rows of an date column are blank, the Excel drivers never figure out the column is a date column, even if you gave it a date format.
If you have text '0011' and export to csv, it gets saved without quotes, so when read into Excel, it looks like a number and the leading zeros are dropped. all sorts of problems like these.
I'm not an Excel guru, so maybe there are ways around these problems. It should work better than it works for me.

Indeed, Excel is a tool of Satan.
It should never be used as a data source, a database or anything other than a spreadsheet.
Unfortunately, it is the pinnacle of many users' computer savvy (of which they are proud) and they will insist on perverting it to perform any and all tasks.
Do not forget the problems with local preferences: dates that are reinterpreted from American to European or v.v. and decimal separators that are reinterpreted as thousands separators.

"It should never be used as a data source, a database or anything other than a spreadsheet."
Heretic! Torture Excel until it confesses to be a database. Then burn it at the stake.
There are more funny things people can do with Excel, e.g. build large table systems with links to other Excel files -- absolute, of course, including the drive letter. Works PER-FECT in an environment where these drive letters are dynamically mapped by a logon script, depending on the current location.

I think you'll find that only part of the guilt lies with Excel. Depending on how you're loading the Excel files into SQL Server (DTS for example), then part of the guilt also lies with the data connection technology.
Both DAO and ADO, for example, make assumptions about the nature of the data when reading an Excel file. They will read in a limited number of records and make an assumption about each columns' data type based on that small sample size. This can be addjusted but it's not perfect.
A couple of suggestions and things to be aware of:
* Where possible – you (yup, you) supply the templates that users should fill in for any data to be loaded in to SQL Server. Hey you're the DBA, if you're responsible for data quality in your system you should have a say in this.
* Format any cells intended to contain strings as Text – this will tel Excel to retain the leading zeroes. You could also have code behind the sheet prefix each entry with an apostrophe (which explicitly tells Excel that this is a string entry)
* When an ETL tool uses ADO or DAO to extract data from an Excel workbook, the cell formatting is irrelevant and completely IGNORED. Formatting dates a particular way makes no difference. Remember the ETL tool is not opening a spreadsheet with formatting – that's at the presentation layer – it's reading the underlying data.
* Ensure all dates are entered (preferably as strings) in DD-MMM-YYYY format to remove any ambiguity during the SQL load.
* Use Excel Data Validation. However, this will only apply basic validation to entered data. It wont capture omissions which will result in NULLS during the SQL load.
* Alternatively prepare the templates to save data in another format (XML, comma or tab delimited). It's much easier to export the data as formatted on the worksheet at this stage. More upstream work means less downstream headaches.
* So you're aware, internally Excel stores dates as numbers where the number 1 represents 01-JAN-1900 and increments 1 for each day ever since. Today is day 39,457.
* Educate your users as to what Excel is and what it is not.
"It should never be used as a data source, a database or anything other than a spreadsheet."
The distinction between the two has always been a blur and is becoming more so with Excel now supporting 1 million rows.
Unfortunately this seduces many users in to believing that Excel is a REAL database.
"It is the tool of Satan."
Not really – it's the tool of people who have to get stuff done (preferably with the IT department getting involved. Excel is a fantastic tool with great flexibility and programmability. I challenge you to find a bigger COM object than Excel (in terms of sheer number of properties and methods).
Unfortunately the flexibility and versatility comes at a price when implemented without discipline or forethought.
Good Luck

I wrote some reporting addons to move data from excel to create slides in powerpoint. This damaged the part of my brain that would make me feel too guilty to admit this.
The same people that used excel as their database needed to result reported in powerpoint so they could see if one bar was bigger than the other, which meant "buy more hardware".
Even if you have date columns formatted properly, try entering a date before 1900-01-01. You probably won't get the result you expect.
Thursday, January 10, 2008
We deal with about 1/2 a million part numbers across our network of partners, and about 1/10 of those part numbers begin with leading zeros.
Excel can be a great tool, however, for me it is EVIL.

"* Ensure all dates are entered (preferably as strings) in DD-MMM-YYYY format to remove any ambiguity during the SQL load."
Personally, I like dates in ISO 8601 format. Today is 2008-01-10. So when I have a spreadsheet with dates, Excel gives me grief.

Excel does what you tell it too, but it won't read your mind. Tell it what you want.
This is what you get for using Excel as a proxy for a development environment. You will have to "program" it.
Now leave us! And only come back once you have masted your tool!

Hi Gene,
I'm assuming your question is serious – this is very easy to do.
1) Highlight the cells you want to format
2) From the Format menu choose Cells, the Number tab and the Custom option
3) Enter "yyyy-mm-dd" (without quotes) in the Type field and click OK.
I had no issue entering 2008-01-14. Excel recognised it. If you looking in the formula bar through, Excel still reads it as a regular date.
I've taken my interpretation of the ISO 8601 format from http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime/.

What make you think that this is limited to your industry?
As far as I'm concerned anyone in any kind of business with a PeeCee on their desk thinks this way. It's scary. There's even IT folks who follow this line of thinking.
Be afraid.

It was quite serious. While the above does allow for a date to be entered and displayed in ISO 8601 format, the =bar displays the dates in this format: 14/01/2008, so if I want to edit an existing date, it is awkward.
