I'm home from the hospital now. I got my first peek at my "new" breasts when my surgeon pulled the drains and changed the dressing in her clinic.
For the first time in years, I didn't feel my chest drop down to my belly button, didn't feel the tug on my shoulders. Even with the bruises and stitches now, my breasts look and, most importantly, feel so much better.Continue reading

Understanding the various aspects of literary criticism
Literary criticism is
the notion, or more precisely the field of study which is not addressed as such
in secondary literary studies. It teaches about the authors of literature,
works, learning elements of literary history and is initiated to the classification
of works by genre (epistolary, novel, poetry, theater, autobiography). One does
not have to wonder what the essence of criticism is. In order to know more
about this subject and you may always refer to Book
Reviews and Recommendations. However, if the
criticism is not the object of a theoretical approach, at the end of which one
wonders what the literary criticism is, one practices it however in the
academic form of the composed commentary, the analytical reading. One speaks
works, one writes on texts, one thinks about a poem, a scene or a romantic
premise and the trajectory of the course for the first year student
The course, which
begins today and is for first year students, is not about critical practice but
about critical theory. One will not read a work of Baudelaire, of Victor Hugo.
But one will wonder rather how to speak of their works, and even more generally
how one organizes the speech on a literary work whatever it is, what the finality
of it is. It is well known that literary writings have given rise to all sorts
of comments. The only work of Shakespeare thus aroused such a plethora of
glosses that a life would scarcely be enough to read them. A critical
bibliography of Racine's works would occupy several volumes. This inflation is
dizzying and could end up causing a feeling of discouragement, of inanity.
is the point?
This superabundant
critical activity, which is increasing day by day, is it very useful? And could
we not dispense with this long detour? What exactly do we do when we take a
critical look at a work? What bases the legitimacy of this discourse? Are there
good or bad ways to submit a work to criticism? Or at least how can our speech
on a work hope to bring him what he does not have? It is necessary to think of
a reflexive act, an act of second degree (secondary?) That we practice since
primary school.
various premise of the word 'criticism'
But let us first stop
with the word itself of "criticism" which has several meanings,
several meanings, which do not all agree among themselves. Note that
"criticism" is both an adjective and a noun historically and it is
first of all an adjective, which comes from the Latin critics of the Greek
works. This brings a decisive, crucial change. We thus speak of the critical
phase of the disease, or even of the "critical age" to designate the
menopause. It will be necessary to keep in mind this term whose meaning does
not disappear completely and which remains underlying to the modern senses of
the word.

How the lawyer must maintain the relationship with their clients?
Maintain a close relationship with more experienced colleagues, former bosses, and teachers. Counseling and help from more experienced James Lyle New Mexico professional is critical at this early stage. Whenever insecurity arises, when you do not know how to act in a particular case, unaware of any process or need business tips and legal routines, turn to your "mentor." That maxim that two heads think well than one is very welcome at those times.
Always be aware of deadlines
Arrive two
hours in advance for an audience, but never after hours! Do not be late for
customer meetings and never miss a legal deadline. In addition to harming your
client, losing deadlines is lousy for your reputation. If necessary, during
work, incorporate the European that exists in you and be recognized for
Respect your time and place of work
Establishing a
routine is critical to your organization and productivity. Set a daily work
schedule and organize your days according to the type of activity. Separate
specific moments in your week for parts writing, customer service,
administrative tasks, legal marketing and other activities. If you work from
home, separate a concentration-friendly room to be your office.
Be very
careful with customer service. An interesting tip is to find, in your area, a
co-working or shared room that has an environment reserved for meetings. Thus,
you can rent the space according to the length of stay while offering a service
with much more tranquility and quality to its customers.
Make a good initial petition
The petition
is the ghost of many new lawyers, but it does not have to be yours. Keep in
mind that no aspect of your initial petition should draw more attention than
content. So, respect the techniques of professional writing, the use of edge,
spacing between lines, the sizes and types of letters. Use bold, italic and box
high with economy, only for what is really needed. Do not use abbreviations and
avoid words in Latin – make exceptions only for the best known ones.
You can
structure the petition into topics, more or less as you learned for the second
phase or expose the content in an articulate way by enumerating the paragraphs.
Set a pattern and follow it from beginning to end of the document.
When entering
the facts in the petition, do not just reproduce the information of your client.
After all, when he talks to you, he usually passes the information in an
emotional way. Another very important point – be clear and respectful to the
opposite party. No matter how emotional the question is, act rationally. After
completing the petition, read and re-read as many times as necessary to avoid
misspellings or lack of cohesion.

Samsung's growth is grinding to a halt, thanks to a failing mobile division. The company has been bleeding market share, prompting Samsung's return to the drawing board in this year's flagship, as can be seen in the elegant flagships that won over the media. Unnamed Executives from the company blame software as the reason behind Samsung's woes, adding that the hardware is simply great, but software is neglected by the upper management.
Samsung's corporate culture has traditionally been focused on hardware, and its software attempts have either been failures, abandonware or hated, don't bring in their version of skinned Android, the Touchwiz UI, that is over-customised and sluggish. Analysts previous blamed poor build quality for the failing Mobile Division, but that cannot be said of the Galaxy S6 and its Edge variant, and the Note 5. But that did not resuscitate the sales, and they have been below expectations.
This strategy was effective in the early days of the smartphone market, when reviews were primarily based on the specs of the phone, like speed, camera, resolution. Nowadays, the market has shifted to reviewing the device as a whole, including the software and services. Without software to distinguish itself, Samsung is losing ground to Chinese smartphone makers, who offer devices at lower price points.
Former employees who spoke to Reuters articulated that Samsung, in some regards, tends to treat software "as little more than a marketing tool." A quick look at their attempts at hardware seem to prove this, for example their chat application, the ill-fated chatOn, which despite being pre-installed on Galaxy phones, which held a significant market-share, failed to gain traction. The executives seem to believe there is need to refocus in order to remain in the market.
"Samsung's upper management just inherently doesn't understand software. They get hardware – in fact, they get hardware better than anyone else. But software is a completely different ballgame."

Maria asks…
What is the best way to get rid of acne?
I've used a lot of different kinds of soaps and washes. So what are some soaps and washes for treating acne and what are some home remedies for treating? Please Help!!!!! Thanks in advanced!!!
admin answers:
Tips in having healthy and good-looking skin:
If you get a pimple or acne, spread some toothpaste over it and within a few days or a week, it should be gone. It works great for me! Just make sure it's a paste and not some other type of toothpaste that's only meant for brushing your teeth. Like a gel of some sort. Don't use that or anything like it. If you choose to try toothpaste, make sure it's a paste only; that's the only way it would work.
Wash your face a few times a day. In the morning when you wake up, at night before you go to bed and possibly throughout the day if you feel like it. It's very good to clean out your pores.. Best using warm water, then pat-dry your face with a soft towel. This gives you healthier skin.
Here is a little trick for getting rid of pimples using salt and water:
You will need:
-salt (any type, but the best is sea salt)
-a cup to keep the water in
-a few cotton balls
1: Salt the water thoroughly. Make sure the water is fresh though. You may steer it using a spoon if you'd like.
2:Dip one cotton ball in the salt water and keep it there for about 30-60 seconds.
3: Take out the cotton ball and squeeze out the water until it's damp, but not dripping.
4: Place the damp cotton ball over your pimple. If you have a few pimples in the same area, try and place the cotton ball spreading over as many as you'd like.
5: Watch a clock, watch or anything else you have telling time and wait exactly three minutes. You're welcome to watch TV, read or do something while waiting for the time to go by. Those three minutes may get a bit boring.
6: Remove the cotton ball after the time has passed. The pimple should be almost gone, but not completely.
7: Grab two more cotton balls and place them on the almost disappeared pimple together.
8: Slowly move them closer together until the tiny acne is flattened. YAY!!
9: Apply honey on the area you conquered.
10: Go to sleep.
Note: The last three steps are very important; don't skip them or the pimple will come back within about an hour.
You can try applying "Head & Shoulder Shampoo" to clear out any acne. It works great!!
If you think you're getting a pimple at any time, ice it. Hold the ice cube over that area for about 5-10 minutes. It really does work!!
You can try Lemon juice for any acne. Just apply some onto the acne each day. Lemon juice is VERY healthy for your skin. There's no guarantee that the acne will be gone, but it's still great for the skin.
KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF YOUR FACE. Touching your face allows dirt and bacteria to enter your pores which will probably cause pimples and acne to appear. So unless your hands are washed and clean, don't pick on your zits.
DON'T EVER TRY POPPING PIMPLES OR ZITS. This may cause your skin to scar or leave serious wounds. Besides, it'll most likely come bad bigger and worse.
Eat healthy. Try to stay away from sweets. Most of the time acne comes from eating things with too much sugar. Eating healthy things like fruits and vegetables may even get rid of unwanted bumps on your face. It's also really good for your skin in general.
Exercise daily to stay in shape, have a strong heart and have a healthy body and skin. Did you know, that every time you exercise, you're adding onto your life spam? You're building on strength in your heart and body which makes you live a longer and better life. Every time you exercise, you're making your life longer. Remember that. And when you finish a good work-out, you'll feel really good. Yes, you'll be sweaty and breathing hard, but you'll feel healthier and stronger immediately.
Exercise improves your skin. Makes it cleaner and brighter. It really good for the skin.
If you want, make a paste yourself!!
There are many different types to apply onto your skin to make it healthier.
Here's one way:
1. Slice an apple and smash it or cut it up as tiny as possible.
2. Boil it with plain milk until it's a warm paste.
3. Once it's cooled down a bit, play the paste on you face to immediately feel a healthy change in your skin.
Drink lots of water. It gives your skin a little glow and healthier/brighter look, Drink at least 8 cups a day; even more, the better.
Those are some of the best tips you can find!! By ME
I really hope that helped you!!
William asks…
What is the best acne treatment out there?
I've been getting really bad acne on my chin, and once I get them all gone, they just keep coming back.
Usually, I go to sleep and just wake up with a couple new pimples/formed pimples that hurt like hell. Is there any way I can stop this from happening? What is good advice to stop me from waking up with acne?
At the moment, I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub, Oxy Alcohol Pads, and I take Vitamin E vitamins/use them as spot treatment on my scars. But this just isn't cutting it.
What is a good CLEANSER, TONER, and MOISTURIZER. And besides that 3 step mechanism, how can I prevent further acne from forming? (face masks, good diets, etcetcetc)
Best answer gets rewarded, THANKS
admin answers:
It depends on the type of acne. Here are some tips that might be helpful:
1) Tea Tree Oil
2) Lemon juice
3) Apple cider vinegar
4) Bamboo extract
Tea tree oil is a popular home remedy for acne. It is an essential oil that is diluted and applied topically to acne lesions.
How is tea tree oil believed to work? Tea tree oil contains a constituent called terpinen-4-ol that's thought to be responsible for most of tea tree oil's anti-bacterial activity. Because tea tree oil can kill bacteria, applying topical tea tree oil to acne lesions is believed to kill Propionibacterium acnes, the skin-dwelling bacteria involved in acne.
Applied lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to face or you can drink it through using it in water a few drops a day. Will help with both acne, and scars as well.Also another way you can get rid of acne is by taking bamboo extract something I started when I had the problem really does work. Hope this works for you.
OR: Here are seven best methods to clear up blemishes.
Tea-Tree Oil
To treat mild, occasional breakouts.
How it works: Distilled from the leaves of an Australian shrub, tea-tree oil contains antibacterial and anti-microbial compounds called terpenoids that help kill the bacteria that, when trapped behind oil in a plugged pore, lead to acne breakouts. Try Burt's Bees Herbal Blemish Stick ($8, burtsbees.com). A roller-ball tube makes for easy application.
Studies testing tea-tree oil against the gold-standard acne treatment, benzoyl peroxide, have shown that while the latter works more quickly, tea-tree oil is equally effective over time. And it results in fewer annoying side effects—namely, dryness and redness.
If you have sensitive skin.
How it works: A time-tested, gentle acne fighter, sulfur "acts like a sponge to draw oil out of blocked pores,". This dries up pimples and keeps sebum production in check, helping to prevent future blemishes.
Sulfur has a distinct smell—think rotten eggs. Most preparations that use it contain a masking fragrance. However, to play it safe (and avoid scaring off coworkers), apply these products at night.
Salicylic Acid
To treat and soothe red, inflamed blemishes.
Salicylic acid can have a calming, anti-inflammatory effect on pimples. "It also breaks down the 'cement' between cells in clogged pores to help unplug them,"
Salicylic acid is less irritating than more potent treatments, so it may be better for those with dry skin. It also tends to work well on stubborn blackheads.
Benzoyl Peroxide
To spot-treat a blemish fast.
How it works: This top acne treatment is an antibacterial agent, killing the bacteria that cause pimples to form, says Gross. Because benzoyl peroxide is so powerful, it helps blemishes go down quickly; just make sure to use a non-comedogenic moisturizer first to minimize dryness. Initially, it can cause dryness and redness. Also, "it bleaches towels and clothes,".
Nightly to prevent breakouts.
How they work: Retinoids, which include over-the-counter retinol and prescription-strength Retin-A, reduce acne by altering the oil chemistry on the skin. "They help stop dense sebum from getting stuck within the pores," says Gross. Without oil deposits, bacteria can't grow and cause blemishes. Since retinoids can make skin sensitive to the sun, doctors recommend using them at night (and being diligent about wearing sunscreen during the day). To avoid irritation, apply every other evening to start, gradually working up to nightly use. Bonus benefit: Retinoids have been shown to increase collagen production and plump fine lines, making them a good choice if you're dealing with acne and wrinkles.
Blue-Light Therapy
If you want the latest preventive treatment—and don't mind plunking down some cash for it.
How it works: Once or twice a week, you use a handheld device to aim a beam of blue light onto your skin. "Its wavelength hits and kills acne-causing bacteria," so any brewing pimples never come to the surface.
This method will not address existing blemishes. Doctors typically suggest combining blue-light therapy with other remedies, such as topical treatments. To make things easy, consider a blue-light device that comes in a kit. At-home devices are smart alternatives to multiple costly treatments at a doctor's office.
Oral Antibiotics
If you experience painful bumps below the skin surface and your pimples leave lasting marks. "Oral antibiotics act from the inside to kill the bacteria that cause acne," says Keri. They also reduce the inflammation associated with pimples, so deep-seated blemishes hurt less and leave fewer scars.
Doctors usually prescribe them to get a severe condition under control and may then switch to topical treatments. Some antibiotics must be taken on an empty stomach, so read the label carefully.
Sandy asks…
Is there any way of getting rid of acne instead of using all those products?
Okay well, I have had pretty bad acne for a long time. I've tried to use everything I can.. Proactive, Maxclear Neutragena, Clean&Clear..they seem to work for about 2 weeks or so, and then they just stop working. Is there anything I could do to clear my breakouts instead of using prescribed products or over the counter products everyday?
admin answers:
1. Drink lots of water
2. Eat a balanced diet
3. Get lots of sleep
4. Change your pillowcase often
5. No pressure
6. Don't pop
7. Don't touch
8. Wash face
9. Actually, BP is great. I used Terminator 10 ($5.00 over-the-counter) for a week, and I had immense drying. I stopped for a week, and then I continued using, this time, actually applying DIRECTLY to the pimple, and using the right moisturizer. It works great . Or, following the first 8 steps will definitely help you.

Sam Mazzola is known for his baby tiger photo booths
Wrestling bear no show at outdoor exposition
Associated Press
Caesar the Wrestling Bear and other exotic animals belonging to a northeast
U.S. Department of Agriculture permits required for exotic animal displays and the bear wrestling show were not in order, and there were also questions about city permits and liability insurance, said Chris Fassnacht, the annual exposition's producer.
Sam Mazzola, owner of the bear and several other exotic animals, has been without a federal license to exhibit exotic animals since it was revoked in November.
Mazzola, who owns Animal Zone in
"We've never been found guilty of any crime whatsoever with the U.S. Department of Agriculture," Mazzola said. "We'll be back. I'll fight for my rights."
Fassnacht said Mazzola's animals have been part of the Cleveland Sport, Travel & Outdoor Show for about 20 years. People pay for a chance to wrestle a black bear.
Information from: The Plain Dealer, http://www.cleveland.com
Meeting planned this morning on act Thursday, March 15, 2007 Molly Kavanaugh Plain Dealer Reporter
Caesar the Wrestling Bear and other animals belonging to Sam Mazzola had the day off Wednesday and maybe won't be working all weekend.
"As of now, we're not comfortable with what we see and it has been postponed until further notice," I-X President Bob Peterson said. Signs were posted at the I-X entrance to alert patrons that the animals would not be on display.
Peterson cited the fact that Mazzola's license to exhibit exotic animals was canceled in November by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Mazzola has a hearing in May regarding numerous complaints involving public and animal safety.
Mazzola, who lives in Columbia Station, said Tuesday that he is authorized to conduct business under a valid license held by his partner, Larry Wallach. USDA spokesman Darby Holladay said that the person holding the license must own and care for the animals.
Mazzola could not be reached for comment on Wednesday, but he was defended by his attorney, John B. Frenden. "He is a honest businessman, who has a passion for animals," Frenden said.
A meeting is scheduled for this morning between Peterson and Wallach. Regardless of the outcome of the meeting, the public will not be allowed to wrestle the bear and will be photographed only with cubs, not full-grown animals, Peterson said. The wrestling will be limited to Wallach's employees.
Chris Fassnacht, president of Expositions Inc., the show's producer, said Mazzola and his animals have been part of his show for years. "Last year it was the biggest draw, by far," Fassnacht said.
USDA rips I-X bear wrestling
Owner's 'mere act of exhibiting is a violation'
Wednesday, March 14, 2007

Plain Dealer Reporter
The 1,000-pound Caesar the Wrestling Bear is scheduled to fight today at the
Sam Mazzola's license to exhibit exotic animals was canceled in November because he provided false information to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
"His mere act of exhibiting is a violation," said Darby Holladay, a USDA spokesman.
Reached by telephone Tuesday, Mazzola said his exhibit is "perfectly legal." His partner, Larry Wallach, has a valid license that allows another person to be designated to operate the business.
The Cleveland Sport, Travel & Outdoor Show opens at noon today and a meeting will be held beforehand to determine if the exotic animal exhibit is a go, said International Exposition Center President Bob Peterson.
"It has to be in compliance with all federal, state and local laws," Peterson said.
The city is aware of the situation and would – if necessary – confiscate the animals, said Maureen Harper, spokeswoman for Mayor Frank Jackson. City officials still were working on arrangements for housing the bear and other exotic animals scheduled to appear at the show.
Chris Fassnacht, president of Expositions Inc., the show's producer, said he has worked with Mazzola and Wallach for years and is not worried that the exhibit will be canceled. "It's definitely a go," he said.
Publicity for the event says patrons who are at least 21 years old and wear headgear can wrestle Caesar, a 7-foot, half-ton bear.
Others can have their photograph taken with lions, tigers and Lakota the bear.

The utility model has the advantages of simple structure, reasonable design, and can improve the work efficiency of the staff and reduce the workload of the staff.
Plastic recovery system is to melt waste plastics after melting and plasticizing. According to the nature of raw materials, can be divided into simple regeneration and compound regeneration two. Simple regeneration has been widely used, the main recovery of resin production plants and plastic products factory production process of the corner scrap, can also include those who are easy to clean, selection of disposable waste products. Plastic Recycling System This part of the waste material is relatively clean, the composition is relatively single, the use of simple technology and equipment to obtain a good quality recycled plastic, its performance and new material difference is not much. Now, about 20% of the plastic waste is used in this kind of recycling method, most of the plastic recycling plants belong to this category.
The waste plastics used in the compound regeneration are collected from different channels and have many impurities, such as diversification, miscellaneous, dirty and so on. Because of the difference and incompatibility of the physicochemical properties of various plastics, their mixture is not suitable for direct processing, before regeneration must be different kinds of separation, so the recycling process is more complicated, Plastic Recycling System the international advanced separation equipment can be used to select different materials, but the equipment one-time investment is higher. In general, the nature of composite recycled plastics is unstable, easy to brittle, it is often used to prepare lower-grade products, such as building fillers, garbage bags, micro-hole sandals, raincoats and equipment packaging materials.

Most experts expect the rate of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia to rise rapidly worldwide in the years ahead, as the population ages and risk factors increase.
But new research from Australia, published in the science journal PLoSOne, found reason for guarded optimism about curbing the rise of Alzheimer's and dementia in a surprising source: booming rates of computer use.
(MORE: Train Your Brain With Video Games)
As part of a longitudinal study of men's health, researchers at Western Australia University report that having access to a personal computer appears to lower the risk of cognitive decline and dementia in older men by as much as 40 percent.
Their study of computer use analyzed more than 5,000 men age 65 or older over eight years and found that computer users were more successful in avoiding dementia. They also had more active social networks and were less likely to show signs of depression.
"If our findings are correct," and regular computer use can help older men ward off the effects of dementia, said lead researcher Osvaldo Almeida of the university's Center for Health and Aging, "the increase in the number of cases over the next 40 years may not be as dramatic as is currently expected."
Almeida says he undertook the study after seeing widespread reports claiming that mentally stimulating activities decreased one's risk of developing dementia. But, he noted, those studies did not analyze the specific impact of computer use. "It got us thinking," he said in a statement. "Could it make a difference? We found that it did, and that there was a significant benefit."
The benefits found in the study could not be attributed to differing levels of education, incidence of depression or overall health among the subjects, Almeida says. Subjects told researchers how often they used computers and whether they used PCs for email, Web surfing, word processing, games or other activities.
In their paper, the Australian team noted that wider studies of larger groups could provide more definitive results. However, given the proliferation of computers, at least in developed Western countries, the researchers speculated that it would be challenging for other studies to produce similar results. The team was able to survey, over a reasonably long period of time, a group that was still old enough to include a significant number of non-computer users — an unlikely scenario for future studies.
While that may not bode well for further research, it's potentially good news for aging Internet surfers. "In this context," the researchers wrote, "the increasing ease of access to personal computers that has occurred over the past 20 years offers hope that the growing exposure of older adults to this technology will enhance their participation in mentally stimulating activities and contribute to maintain cognitive function and reduce the prevalence of dementia in the community."

Was Funny People supposed to be funny?
Was Funny People supposed to be funny? Cause if it was, I missed that. But lemme start with a little summary before I go into that.
Funny People is about a bromance (what else would come from Judd Apatow) between a big time comedian that makes crappy movies, Adam Sandler…. I mean Sandler playing George Simmons… well really playing himself, and a up-and-coming comedian that he asks to write him joke and be his assistant. George feels like he needs to find himself again after being diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia and starts doing stand up. Once he goes into remission, he decides to try and reconnect with an old flame as well.
Um… if that description seems odd and jumping around. it's because that is what the movie is like. So for a movie with "funny" in the title, this movie really isn't that funny… really it's depresssing and really, really long. It was over 2 hours and it felt like it. Plus, you really don't have any sympathy for any character in this movie. They are all kind of a-holes. So by the end, you don't care what happens… you just want it to end. Ok…the stand-up is funny, but I can watch Comedy Central for that. The movie itself is lame and is really the same stuff that Judd Apatow shoves down our throats. Apatow is a one-trick pony and this movie really shows it.
My Rating: D This movie left me in a terrible mood. I would not recommend it.
So I typically don't post about my personal life on here, but I am just putting one thing out there. I am a recent college graduate looking for a marketing or public relations job. I am not having the greatest luck right now. It really does not matter where, I just want a job so if you know of anything or have any ideas of where to look, please help an addict out….

Happy Friday!!!! It's the weekend and I've got one verb that I am going to LIVE for the next couple days. If you arte gonna be a LIVEr you gotta be a DOer!
New York City
I mean really. It's New York. What is there not to enjoy? I'm a city girl and I just enjoy cities everywhere. Maybe it's the people, the distinct culture of each city, the ability to easily meander from one neighborhood to the next, the languages, the fashion, the food, and I could keep going. I love cities and New York City is one of my top five favorites. I will be in New York City staying at a sweet hotel smack in the middle of Times Square. I will definitely receive pleasure and satisfaction from this.
Cue the music "Reunited and it feels so good" by Peaches and Herb. I'm pretty sure once I catch up with a few former students of mine, one who's graduated from Stanford University and headed to Harvard Law and the other who is half way through her time at Cornell University, that's the song the heavens will play and in true Broadway musical form the three of us will begin a perfectly synced dance routine. OKay not really. But I am so excited to catch up with my former students and have a good time.

Old Crush Catch Up
You may not know this but I crush all the time. And by all the time I mean ALL THE TIME. I thin I have about seven active crushes at themoment, four of which are celebrity crushes. And then there are the old crushes, one whom I will get to catch up with this weekend.
*Idris Elba is a very current celebrity crush
I should mention that work is what is bringing me to NYC. As I shared last week, my coworker and I will be presenting to student leaders and advisors from colleges and universities all over the US at the 8th annual Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities conference about innovative student programs with limited resources. I must say, sharing the work that I get to do, what's been challenging, and what has worked well is something I enjoy very much. I am looking forward to co presenting this Saturday afternoon enjoying, and the entire conference as it is definitely a great opportunity to meet other people from other colleges and universities doing great work. What's not to enjoy?

how others view us
The other day at work, a colleague was covering the reception desk, as the usual receptionist was on vacation. This colleague commented that she feels that people interact with her in a very different way when they meet her for the first time as the receptionist vs her official manager role.
Whether there truly is a difference in how others treat us based on our social or work role, I haven't done or read the research. Perhaps there remains subconscious biases in how we interact with each other. Or perhaps there are valid differences in the way we interact with people in different roles. Or perhaps the differences are in the perceptions of the recipient not the other person's actions.
The situation brought to mind something I have noticed about myself in the past few months. I have always known that my job is a key part of my self identity. A year ago I changed jobs, this change was a choice I made for a variety of reasons. And it's important to state, that I really like my new job. But… I have noticed that I'm not as comfortable telling people what my new job is. I feel my old job sounded more important and more significant, and I felt people were more impressed when I told them about my previous position.
Both as a culture and as individuals, we have trouble valuing all people for the jobs they hold and the contributions they make. We have created by cultural and personal hierarchies where we see some jobs/roles as more significant than others. These experiences have brought to light some of my individual biases and hierarchies related to work. These are biases, I'm not really sure I like knowing I have. I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to do about them, or how to change them. But I do know that until we identify and acknowledge a bias, we can't begin to do anything to counter act it.

Three World Trade Center, the fourth tower on the rebuilt Lower Manhattan site and the fifth-tallest building in the city, has officially opened for business.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted in the building's cavernous, triple-height lobby on Monday marked the end of a grueling and, at times, adversarial development process.
It also added another chapter's distance from the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, to the annals of New York history.
"Our first duty was to create a stirring memorial for those friends, neighbors, co-workers lost in 9/11," Larry Silverstein, the building's owner and developer, said during the event. "But it didn't stop there. We were also charged with producing a more vibrant and connected neighborhood than anyone had ever visited here before."
However, after the speeches ended and the last bit of ribbon fell, Silverstein Properties and the project's leasing agency, CBRE, still faced the daunting task of filling nearly 1.5 million s/f of office space and 150,000 s/f of retail within the shimmering tower of glass and stainless steel, while also trying to find an anchor tenant that will allow them to start work on the site's final tower: 2 World Trade Center.
Less than 40 percent of 3 World Trade has been leased to date, as the first occupants prepare to move in next month.
However, with the veil of construction lifted, the project's head leasing agent Mary Ann Tighe said seeing will be believing for prospective tenants.
"People can be smart in every way but not necessarily visually imaginative; it's a different kind of intelligence," the CBRE CEO said.
"There's nothing better than when you can stand someone on a floor and tell them this will be your space. It changes the nature of the conversation. You don't have to tell them a story, you just have to get them to come and look around, and that's the best thing we have now."
Standing 80 stories tall, the ultra-modern office tower has 2.4 million s/f of office space, of which approximately 950,000 s/f has been leased. Three companies, GroupM, McKinsey and IEX, account for nearly 98 percent of the taken space. The building also has five retail floors and, so far, not one tenant.
Like Towers 1 and 4, Tighe attributed 3 World Trade Center's sluggish pre-construction leasing to a disconnect between how the building and area looked then versus what they would become upon completion.
Getting people to see the area as more than a construction zone — or worse yet, the site of a national tragedy — has not always been easy.
"What people need to understand is how long it takes to bring a building like this online," she said. "They were worried about a market that exists now instead of a market that will exist three or four years from now."
To her point, Tighe said 4 World Trade Center, where she also leads leasing, recently hit full occupancy and it is her understanding that 1 World Trade, which is represented by Newmark Knight Frank, is entering the home stretch as well.
The success of those projects combined with the Financial District's rise as a mixed-use neighborhood with a close proximity to highly-coveted talent pools figure to make 3 World Trade an easier sell moving forward, Tighe said, noting the emphasis most companies are placing on hiring.
"You need people who are tech savvy, you need people who are creative," she said.
"The challenges of getting talent are enormous. I believe the connectivity of Downtown with the most robust residential markets for that talent is its magic.
"The people we're looking to attract are not the ones living in Westchester and Connecticut; they're the ones living in Brooklyn, Hoboken, Queens and in the lower part of Manhattan. This is the nucleus of all of that, with all the subways lines and transportation. "That is part of our secret," she continued. "The other part is we have great incentives that the governor was wise enough to place on the site, so you're able to buy 21st-century construction at 25 percent below what it would cost anywhere in the city. That's also really powerful."
Initially slated for a six-year build out, 3 World Trade broke ground in 2008. The Great Recession led to squabbles between Silverstein, the Port Authority, which owns the land beneath the World Trade Center, and the various other parties involved over the development's size, scope and price tag.
In 2012, the Port Authority threatened to cap the building at seven stories if Silverstein couldn't secure an anchor tenant to occupy at least 400,000 s/f. The project was saved when, later that year, the marketing network GroupM signed on for half a million s/f at the building before eventually expanding its footprint to 700,000 s/f throughout nine floors.
Kelly Clark, global CEO for GroupM, said his company chose to move its world headquarters to the 1,079-foot tall tower because it believed the environment would help the enterprise grow.
"The opening of 3 World Trade Center helps New York's Financial District to continue as one of the world's most sought-after business districts," he said during the ribbon-cutting ceremony. "Now, it will also be a world capital, the world capital of advertising, media, technology and information, and it will attract an incredible workforce."
Clark also noted that he was "humbled to play a small role" in the rebirth of the World Trade Center campus, a sentiment echoed by several of the speakers who addressed the crowd of several hundred suit-clad attendees on Monday.
Much praise was given to Silverstein for standing up to detractors and starring down a sometimes dire financial outlook at the property.
Gary LaBarbera, president of the city's Building and Construction Trades Council, went so far as to call Silverstein's perseverance an act of patriotism. "Thank you for your courage, thank you for your vision, thank you for your defiance against terrorism," LaBarbera said. "The importance and significance of what you've done here is not just for this city but for this country and we all we owe you, every American owes you, a deep debt of gratitude. Thank you, Larry Silverstein."
Along with seeking tenants for the remaining floors of 3 World Trade, Tighe and company also are on the hunt for an anchor tenant for Tower 2, which will be the second tallest building in the district at 1,340 feet tall with 2.8 million s/f of office space.
Tighe said the anchor tenant will have to sign on for at least 800,000 s/f before construction can begin, which she said is no small task. However, given the current business market and the rapid progress being made in the surrounding area, she remains confident such a tenant can be found.
"The good news is we're in a moment when companies are growing," she said. "GroupM isn't even a 20-year-old company, who would have imagined that they would anchor this building? It's amazing. I think we're going to get a similar 21st-century company to anchor Tower 2 for us."

If it seems to you that the number of homicides in the metro area has gone up since the weather has improved, you're right. There were three this weekend alone, including a fatal shooting at a Denny's near 17th and Federal and a murder-attempted suicide outside a home at 44th and Sherman.
The third such crime took place in Aurora and left a thus-far-unidentified man dead.
The details shared thus far are below.
Just after 9 p.m. on Friday, May 3, according to the Aurora Police Department, officers were called to an apartment on the 1100 block of Yosemite.
The report: a stabbing. And unfortunately, it was accurate.
The adult male victim had stab wounds to his upper body. He was rushed to an area hospital and surgery was performed in an attempt to save him. But he ultimately succumbed to his wounds.
The APD contacted and questioned a number of witnesses in the case, but none of them were detained, and if there's a specific suspect at this point, the authorities haven't named him. If you have information about who could have committed this crime, phone Detective Craig Appel at 303-739-6207 or Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP (7867); a reward of up to $2,000 is offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person on the other side of the knife.

So I have been noodling around YouTube, Google and other materials to find out more about service. There are a host of resources out there, both factual, and opinionated. So I went to the source for an example of exemplary service. There is perhaps one name, that has stood the test of time for consistently delivering on their promise of quality guest service. And that is Ritz Carlton. Yet, do their promotional videos get at the heart of what service really means? For instance, here is their latest video upload to YouTube:
Of course any promotional material will be from the point of view of the customer, but here are host of promises from business to consumer. As I have stated in class, there are three drivers influencing our industry, money or financial, information, and promises. Service is a promise. Service is a human element; a coordinated effort between all team members to deliver on a promise.
Okay, but what about the definition:
According to Brymer and Johanson (2014, glossary), Service is:
A type of product that is intangible, goods that are inseparable from the provider, variable in quality, and perishability. The reason why private clubs exist; members receive high-end, personalized service at their club.
The authors go on further to define Service Experience:
Sum total of the experience that the customer has with the service provider on a given occasion.
So, we can draw several inferences from these two concepts. One, that service is an intangible element, varies in delivery, and is perishable. That would mean that is has links to the human element of our industry, that it may or may not be consistent, and that it may or may not last. Yet, perishability, in terms of service, needs a little more thought. How do we draw turnover into this concept? If service is perishable, part of the human element, could that not mean that we have a tenacious grasp on retaining valuable employees, that understand service, and its effect to the bottom line (profitability), and loyalty? That employees, if not seen as a valuable asset to our company, could easily jump ship and migrate to another company that values their efforts. Therefore, how we plan, how we coordinate, how we train, the matrix of our corporate culture, envisioned in our mission and vision statements, should relate back to that core concept of service.
So let us revisit The Ritz's Credo:
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel is a place where the genuine care and comfort of our guests is our highest mission.
We pledge to provide the finest personal service and facilities for our guests who will always enjoy a warm, relaxed, yet refined ambience.
The Ritz-Carlton experience enlivens the senses, instills well-being, and fulfills even the unexpressed wishes and needs of our guests.
That is a solid promise to guests, that must be communicated down through the layers of an organization. Every day this must be reinforced, and understood. It's not just about the job, it's an ideal, an attitude, that must percolate consistently through every employee's mind. This also extends the argument to empowering the employees with clearly defined promises.
Yet, what is that empowerment to the Ritz employee? We must visit their motto.
At The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C., "We are Ladies and Gentlemen serving Ladies and Gentlemen." This motto exemplifies the anticipatory service provided by all staff members.
Here the culture is proactive, already a thought in their mind, even before a guest decides to stay with them. They understand the moment of truth, that at any contact point, they can and will make a difference. The Ritz further articulates this into the Three Steps of Service:
- A warm and sincere greeting. Use the guest's name.
- Anticipation and fulfillment of each guest's needs.
- Fond farewell. Give a warm good-bye and use the guest's name.
Again, these steps illustrate the need to understand your guest, before, during and after their stay. We need to understand their decision-making process, their needs, their wants, even if they don't understand quite what they want themselves. It is about relationship building, CRM (Customer Relationship Management); about asking the right questions in order to understand, to progress from a limited awareness to a greater awareness. To be cognizant of our world around us. If someone family suddenly pops into your establishment without a reservation, and Mom is holding a three-year old, and Dad is trying to coral and maintain order with the other two youngsters, you know to ask a few questions to make their stay more comfortable. Look at the people, look at what is going on, note the time, note the weather, even if you are sold out. Service is about going that extra mile for your guest.
These steps can be further broken down into objectives or values:
Service Values: I Am Proud To Be Ritz-Carlton
- I build strong relationships and create Ritz-Carlton guests for life.
- I am always responsive to the expressed and unexpressed wishes and needs of our guests.
- I am empowered to create unique, memorable and personal experiences for our guests.
- I understand my role in achieving the Key Success Factors, embracing Community Footprints and creating The Ritz-Carlton Mystique.
- I continuously seek opportunities to innovate and improve The Ritz-Carlton experience.
- I own and immediately resolve guest problems.
- I create a work environment of teamwork and lateral service so that the needs of our guests and each other are met.
- I have the opportunity to continuously learn and grow.
- I am involved in the planning of the work that affects me.
- I am proud of my professional appearance, language and behavior.
- I protect the privacy and security of our guests, my fellow employees and the company's confidential information and assets.
- I am responsible for uncompromising levels of cleanliness and creating a safe and accident-free environment.
What these are,are goals and objectives, in developing a corporate culture. Something that is deeply rooted in the psyche of every employee. Not only for the guest, but also, in how all employees are treated. And thus a promise is made between the company and their employees:
At The Ritz-Carlton, our Ladies and Gentlemen are the most important resource in our service commitment to our guests.
By applying the principles of trust, honesty, respect, integrity and commitment, we nurture and maximize talent to the benefit of each individual and the company.
The Ritz-Carlton fosters a work environment where diversity is valued, quality of life is enhanced, individual aspirations are fulfilled, and The Ritz-Carlton Mystique is strengthened.
So, what have we learned. Service is about promises, about experience for both the employee and the guest. And that leads to the final definition offered by Brymer and Johanson (2014, Glossary):
Service product: Entire bundle of tangibles and intangibles in a transaction that has a significant service component.

BANNER ELK, N.C. – The Lees-McRae College men's volleyball team battled but fell to Emmanuel (GA) College in three sets (25-19, 27-25, 25-21) Friday night at Williams Gymnasium.
Set 1 – Emmanuel came out of the gates hot on Friday night. The Lions not only attacked well (.524 hitting percentage) but they also played well defensively totaling five blocks in the frame. With both sides of the ball working in Emmanuel's favor, it led by as many as six points in the first set which proved to be the winning margin, 25-19.
Set 2 – The second stanza was a little bit more of a back-and-forth one than the first. First, Lees-McRae jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead after a Lion service error and an ace from Nick Cookingham. Emmanuel would rally to tie the score at seven before surging ahead by four at 12-8. Credit to the Bobcats as they clawed back to tie the score at 22 a side with a kill from Hector Serviat. Lees-McRae and Emmanuel would be tied at 23, 24 and 25 before the Lions scored back-to-back points to take the frame, 27-25.
Set 3 – The third and final set Friday was a much like the second frame where there was not a ton of separation between the two teams. Emmanuel finished the third set with 14 kills but the Bobcats matched them with 14 of their own. The difference came on the block as the Lions out-blocked Lees-McRae four to one in the third frame, which accounted for nearly all of Emmanuel's winning margin, 25-21.
Stat standouts – The Bobcats were led Friday by Tyler Dorfman. Dorfman totaled a career-high 12 kills in 18 attacks on the night with just three errors for a .500 hitting percentage. Defensively, Chris Woolslayer paced Lees-McRae totaling eight digs on the night.
Next up – Lees-McRae will have a short turnaround as it takes on Erskine Saturday afternoon at Williams Gymnasium. First serve between the Bobcats and Flying Fleet is set for 2 p.m.

Midnight sun safari in the Lofoten Archipelago is a dream come true for many. The Lofoten Archipelago is widely famous for its dramatic mountains and peaks, beaches, untouched lands, open sea etc. and going on a midnight sun safari to experience these natural vistas is a different feeling altogether.
It wasn't meant to be but it turned out to be a solo trip to Norway, Paris and Bruges…and what a trip it was…Excellent. Flamingo Travels is so far my best tour operator yet.The itinerary was carefully thought through and well balanced. The trip represented great travel for the cost. My booking was easy, the pre-information packet was timely and thorough. Interim questions were handled promptly and thoroughly, including going out of their way to help me with some hard to get reservations. The organization of the tour and the accommodations were excellent. The transfers were perfect and done with a high class Mercedes vehicle. Everything worked like clockwork. However, it was the genius of the itinerary, coupled with two professionals, Nirali and Hiren, that put this trip into the A plus category.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a fun, relaxed, enjoyable holiday with fine cultural food - they will deliver!
The only trouble is "I want to go back for more"! A wonderful trip.

My Hopper 3 is set in the Power settings to timeout after 4 hrs of inactivity. It does. But, no matter what button I push on the 54.0 remote, it will not wake up. The system is not showing the Green power LED. I have to press the Red reset button to reboot the Hopper for it to work again. Is this a bug? I an running Software U511. I've had to change the power setting to "always on" to prevent the system from freezing when it goes to sleep.
Hey there, Deano! That is a great question. If you press the POWER button on the front of the Hopper one time instead of the red RESET button, does it come back on for you?
When the issue occurs, what happens when you press the SAT button once? Does the SAT button light up on the remote?
You may want to re-sync the remote. While on the Standby Screen, if you access the "System Info" button, does the receiver go the Diagnostics screen?

Estimated to be more than five million years old, Kaua'i is the oldest Hawaiian island—though it's aged very well. The island lives up to its nickname, "The Garden Island," with verdant mountains, lush rain forests and some of the most enchanting spots you'll ever see. Room to Move. Of the four counties in the state, Kauai's is the least populated, with just over 63,000 residents. This yields a mere 114 people per square mile. The island itself is 552 square miles with 90 miles of coastline.
In a word, "plenty." Bring loads of film for your camera and visit:
Kaua'i is the legendary home of the Menehune, a mythical race of very small people who performed legendary feats of construction and engineering. The Menehune Ditch and Alekoko Fishpond are two of the projects said to have been the work of the Menehune. Today, some scholars theorize that the Menehune may have been, in fact, descendants of the first wave of settlers who journeyed to Hawai'i from the Marquesas in the sixth century.
While Kamehameha I is credited with bringing all the Hawaiian islands under one rule, it should be noted that the great warrior king never conquered Kaua'i. An attempt to invade the island in 1796 was met with disaster after a fierce storm sunk many of Kamehameha's war canoes in the channel between O'ahu and Kaua'i. Nevertheless, in 1810 Kaua'i was peacefully turned over to Kamehameha to avoid any more bloodshed.
Mokihana, a green berry, grows on the slopes of Mount Wai'ale'ale. This tiny pea-like berry is used with maile to make leis. The island's official color is purple.
Averaging 466 inches of rain per year, 5,080-foot Mount Wai'ale'ale is considered the wettest spot on earth.
