How To Ask For A Raise And Get It
Everyone could use something at work. Part-time workers want more hours. Interns want to be made full-time employees. Hourly employees want to be salaried, with benefits. But what most any paid employee can agree on, is that a bigger paycheck is always welcome.
So, then, how do you reach that goal of earning more when you feel it's deserved? The Young Entrepreneur Council has some top tips, to ensure asking for a raise goes in your favor.
Ask, Don't Beg!
"Your boss doesn't care that your commuting costs went up, that you're supporting another child or that your spouse lost her job. Don't lead with why you need more money. Instead, make a case for how you've helped your company become even more profitable. Sure, you may need the money. But make it clear that you also deserve it."
- Steph Auteri | career coach, writer, and editor, Word Nerd Pro
Make A Commitment
"In addition to showing that you deserve a raise due to outstanding past performance, make your boss a few promises about how you will continually improve yourself and your work, so that the company will continue to benefit for years to come. That will show your boss that you will be a long-lasting valuable asset."
- Danny Wong | Co-Founder, Blank Label Group, Inc.
Reel In Responsibility
"When your employer has been paying you a certain rate for certain work, it's natural that she's going to feel like she needs to be getting more for any raise she offers. Since it's unlikely that you'll put in more hours, think in terms of the role you play and where you can take on more responsibility to help the business grow."
- Thursday Bram | Consultant, Hyper Modern Consulting
Gain Some Leverage
"If you make yourself an invaluable part of your company, then you'll have a lot more leverage in your negotiations. Take on responsibilities that add value and have measurable results. If you can go to your boss and say that you are responsible for huge numbers and possess knowledge that is irreplaceable to the operations of the business then your boss will be forced to pay you to keep you happy!"
- Matt Wilson | Co-founder, Under30CEO.com
Make Your Pitch Matter
"You basically get one shot at asking, either at your annual review or at some moment when you say "enough is enough." So be prepared to make the pitch count: Don't use words like "I feel" or "I think"; instead, bring to the table a list of projects you worked on, review the value they bring to the company, explain how you to plan to raise your game, and how the work you do pays for itself."
- Jerry Piscitelli | Owner / Inventor, Portopong LLC
Confidence, Not Cockiness
"Always show confidence, but don't ever act arrogant. Confidence is appealing and shows your boss that you believe in yourself and your skills, and that you are grateful for the opportunity. However, arrogance is a turnoff and will rub your boss the wrong way while also not conveying your inner message -- that you care about your boss and want to continue to see the company succeed."
- Steven Le Vine | CEO/President, grapevine pr
See The Pitch Differently
"When you frame the act of asking for a raise as a fun, creative and confidence-building activity, you put your focus on what you can control-making the ask. Plus, you alleviate nervousness. As a result, when you open your mouth, you are more likely to project confidence, make a compelling argument, and enjoy the experience a whole lot more."
- Alexia Vernon | Communication and Leadership Author, Speaker, Coach, and Trainer, Alexia Vernon Empowerment LLC
Timing Is Everything
"You will increase your chances of success if you ask your boss during an opportune time. Some favorable situations to look for: company releases higher than expected quarterly earnings, public recognition of a job well done, or a situation where your boss is in a good mood."
- Anthony Saladino | Co-Founder & CEO, Kitchen Cabinet Kings
Remember, It's A Numbers Game
"Hopefully you're already tracking and measuring everything you do at your job. If so, design an impressive chart or graph that definitively displays the the monetary value you have created for the company. Throw in your current salary and calculate their internal profits from your work. Present this to your boss and strongly state your case."
- Logan Lenz | Founder / President, Endagon
The 3 P's: Perspective, Practice And Proactivity
"Make sure you get a clear understanding of what is important to your boss and to your company. It's about their perspective -- not necessarily yours-when positioning the conversation. Be sure to practice what you are going to say and how you will respond to possible answers. Lastly, be proactive in asking what it takes to get a raise. Go for it."
- Michael Bruny | International Speaker | Coach | Author, AmbassadorBruny.com
The Respectful ROI Approach
"Be respectful and talk about the ROI you provide to the company. It's important to understand that your boss has a job to do too, including watching the budget. When discussing a possible raise, make your case objectively and respectfully. Use the numbers and stats to quantify the value you add, but be careful not to force an ultimatum."
- Nick Friedman | President, College Hunks Hauling Junk
Get Another Offer
"The bottom line is that you are worth what someone is willing to pay you. The most compelling argument you can make for a raise is that you have other written offer(s) on the table and that you would consider staying if your boss can give you a high-enough counter-offer. (Only use this tactic if you are willing to follow through, i.e. leaving or staying based on the strength of the counter-offer.)"
- Elizabeth Saunders | Founder & CEO, Real Life E®

Okay... to all my readers out there I just want to apologize for the issues that we have been having recently. Many of them are wonderfully thanks to the issues that Comicgenesis ( Keenspace) has been having with their auto updater and their servers in general.
Many of you saw the update for monday on monday... and the update for today ... I don't know when that will show because the manual updater will not work.
Even when it does work sometimes the server likes to time travel so I have to go into the FTP server and remove the current comic and then re-upload it to the servers. -_- MAJOR PAIN!!!
The admins know of this issue ( I have complained alot about it to them), but so far there is no update on how to fix this or when they will finally not have the issues so we can finally have the correct updates for the correct days and the correct strips updated and not removed on the correct days.
Again to my readers I apologize... please bear with us while this happens and if you need to check out the mirror site that is listed on the main page. ^_^ Drunkduck is seeming to be a better place to host a comic then Comicgenesis.

"So, is the forest dangerous?" I get asked this a lot. The short answer is, "Probably no more dangerous than life in a U.S. city, and definitely less dangerous than anything involving motor vehicles." Venomous snakes are often perceived to be a big danger, but the fact is that we almost never see snakes in the forest. Sure, Borneo has some of the most venomous snakes in the world (including king cobras, banded kraits, and a whole host of vipers), but encounters are so rare that we basically forget about the risk. My field attire of choice consists of Crocs, shorts, and a T-shirt—this gear would probably appear foolhardy to colleagues working in American or African tropical forests, where stout lower-leg coverage is highly recommended to protect from snakebites. The other night I asked the local members of our team, who have spent much time in the forest hunting and working on illegal logging crews, if they or anyone they knew had been bitten by a venomous snake. None could remember such an event. They did say, however, that people are sometimes bitten by snakes in the fields near the villages, when clearing scrub and grass in preparation for planting rice. The one kind of snake we do see sometimes is Wragler's pit viper, a small bright green viper that sits coiled on a branch, usually a meter off the ground. They'll wait there for days in the same position, unmoving. Bumping into one when bushwhacking is indeed a small, nagging fear I have, but it hasn't happened yet.
Leeches, on the other hand, are extremely common though not dangerous. Their abundance in the forest waxes and wanes with the amount of rain; they retire, probably to the leaf litter, in dry weather. After people get over the initial reaction of a squirming, eyeless creature sucking their blood, leeches simply become an annoyance. They carry no disease, and after bleeding extensively as a result of the anti-coagulant (hirudin) the leeches inject, the bite wounds usually heal quickly with some mild itching. The annoyance stems primarily from the mess that the unstaunchable bleeding makes—field clothes are always stained with brown patches, and my hammock is dirtier than I would like! Much nonsense surrounds the question of how to remove a leech: you just pull them off. A much harder question is how to get them off your fingers. Their anterior and posterior suckers are extremely efficient, and trying to roll and flick them off is quite futile and frustrating, except when your hands are very dry. I usually end up rubbing them off onto the rough trunk of a tree.
Despite their downsides, I am always pleased to see that a forest has leeches because their presence indicates a healthy population of ground-dwelling mammals. Having said this, it is quite a mystery how even a large population of deer and pigs could satisfy the very high density of leeches sone observes in natural forest. A leech must be able to survive on very infrequent feedings, perhaps even years apart. As far as I know, these fascinating and intimate creatures are understudied, and much remains to be learned about their natural history.

About Distributed Social Networking
So, Diaspora, DiSo, Appleseed, and a bunch of others. Despite the incredible attractiveness of this solution to the problem of Facebook/Twitter centralization, I find it hard to get excited about any of these projects. They are all doing it wrong, but not exactly for that reason.
I suspect this is both easier and harder than they think:
- Harder – design. People. Product. Design matters. At all levels. Details matter. At all levels.
- Easier – technology. Web pages, feed, pub-sub. Done.
- Harder – improvements, updates, protocol changes, specs, consensus.
- Easier – avoid specs and consensus; dictate that shit. Just leave room for add-ons.
- Harder – end-to-end model is broken. Network 10 considered harmful. Plus, end nodes (aka laptops) are not always connected.
If you have opinions on this, join one of these projects or, better, start your own.
Yeah, there are a bunch already out there, but they mostly suck, so you have a good chance of beating them all if yours can be excellent.

text: Fashion industry types are thinking about the future now that the "all black" issue of Italian Vogue is officially a "success," reports CNN. "All the agents were happy about the issue because it gives us hope that other people will catch on and decide that it's OK to use more black girls," says Carlos Ojeda, an agent at New York Models. "It's OK to have more than just one, and she doesn't have to always be Naomi." Bethan Hardison, who scheduled several summits and town hall meetings about the lack of black models in the past year and has another set for September, says: "We just have to keep the bar high and keep showing beautiful women and pictures." The question is: When do you know for sure that things have changed? [CNN]

Every week we get Down & Dirty, in which Nozlee Samadzadeh breaks down our favorite seasonal fruits, vegetables, and more by the numbers.
Although tomatillos are only a distant relation of the tomato -- they're actually in the same genus as cape gooseberries and husk cherries -- it's true that the similarities between the two can't be missed. Their affinity for salsa, for example, or the complex flavors they take on after roasting. After all, they're both members of the nightshade family. But the similarities end there.
Tomatillos, which are also called husk tomatoes or the vaguely Orientalist "Chinese lanterns," originated in Mexico. Because they're prized for their tart, acidic flavor, they're almost always picked before they are technically mature. Fully ripe tomatillos turn yellow, red, or purple, and are much milder in taste -- not at all what you think of when seeing tomatillo recipes!
1. Lanterns Before Bulbs: Not to bury the lede, but here is the coolest thing about tomatillos: that delicate exterior? It's fully grown before the tomatillo itself is much more than a tiny nub! (This is my favorite fact about farming, ever.) While the months-old tomatillos you've undoubtedly spotted in grocery stores have dried, papery skins, the fresh stuff has skins that are vibrantly green, veined, and surprisingly resilient. Although don't let this fool you: they still aren't edible.
2. Bursting Free: As we mentioned above, tomatillos are picked before full maturity. All the same, it's smart to wait until the tomatillo has just started to burst through its exterior layer -- pick them too small and you're losing out on your ideal tomatillo harvest. And luckily, tomatillos continue to bloom flowers that grow into husks until the weather gets too cold, a practically never-ending supply of salsa ingredients.
3. Sticky Fingers: Once you peel off that outer layer, tomatillos are sticky with sap. While you don't need to wash that off until you plan to use your tomatillos -- it helps protect them while being stored in the refrigerator -- it should be washed off before you start cooking. Just a light scrub with water will do it.
4. Drawn and Quartered: Whether you plan to roast or simmer your tomatillos, chopping them is a good idea to to maximize the release of their lemony-tomatoey flavors in your dish. See how they're almost berry-like on the inside?
It's no surprise that our top tomatillo recipes on the site are all inspired by Mexican flavors. For a new spin on salsa, try Merrill's dried pineapple and tomatillo take on it, or dig into a hearty bowl of green.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday said the issue of gun control is "fundamentally a federal...
Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday said the issue of gun control is "fundamentally a federal matter" because firearms can easily be transported across state lines.
Cuomo, a Democrat, has called for a crackdown on guns
following Friday's massacre in a Newtown, Conn., elementary school.
While acknowledging New York and other states can take steps to bolster their gun laws, Cuomo said the most "effective, efficient" way to deal with the issue is at the federal level.
"Right now, our laws are some of the toughest in the nations but in some ways it's to no avail because people can buy a gun somewhere else and drive it in," Cuomo said. "So a federal law would make the most dramatic effect."
Cuomo said officials first have to look at better defining assault weapons. New York has a ban on such firearms, but it includes various exemptions and loopholes.
There was a federal ban on assault weapons passed in 1994, but it expired in 2004.
"I think much more needs to be done on 'assault weapons' ... starting with how do you define an assault weapon," Cuomo said. "That, I think, is going to be the first step."
Aside from that, Cuomo did not mention any other specific state laws he thinks need to be changed, but said his office will soon be unveiling formal proposals.

Jesus: Top-four race will go to the wire
Gabriel Jesus says Man City's battle to secure a place in the top four of the Premier League will go right down to the last game of the season.
The 20-year-old Brazilian marked his first start for the Club after almost three months out through injury with a vital 84th minutes equaliser to earn City a 2-2 draw away at Middlesbrough.
Boro had twice taken the lead through former City star Alvaro Negredo and Calum Chambers but City fought back first through a penalty from Sergio Aguero and then a fine header from Jesus.
With Manchester United having been held at home by Swansea earlier in the day, it's very much as you were in the race to clinch Champions League qualification for next season.
The Blues remain in fourth place – they are on the same points tally as third-placed Liverpool who have a better goal difference - and lie a point ahead of fifth-placed United with all three clubs having four games left to play.
City have the advantage of playing three of those fixtures at the Etihad Stadium but Jesus believes he and his colleagues will face a tough battle until the last day of the campaign in order to seal that all-important top-four finish.
"We all know how difficult it is in the Premier League and we know its is going to be difficult until the end (of the season)," said the 20-year-old Brazilian.
"I am learning that every game in the Premier League is really difficult.
"Every team can beat you if you are not focused.
"Today's result is disappointing.
"We controlled the game and missed so many chances but at least we have a point which is what matters."
After a brief cameo appearance in the Manchester derby last Thursday, Jesus got the full 90 minutes under his belt at the Riverside Stadium following his recovery from a broken metatarsal.
Jesus admits he still working his way back to full fitness and admitted after having what looked like a winner in the derby ruled out for offside, his first reaction after netting on Teesside was to check that the goal stood!
"After being out for three months, I am tired," Jesus admitted.
"In my case I am still not 100 per cent fit so I missed so many chances and I am sad for that.
"After my goal I looked at the assistant to check if it was offside or not.
"I am happy to have scored the goal but sad at the same time because we couldn't get the win today."

The San Diego hub managing air traffic for most of Southern California has the highest reported number of errors in the country according to a federal audit.
The report from the Department of Transportation shows mistakes by air traffic controllers in the region rose more than 473 percent from 2009 to 2010.
Ten facilities saw the largest percentage of errors, according to the audit released Feb. 27., ranging from the event of two planes arriving at the same altitude on side-by-side runways to planes arriving at unexpected altitudes or positions.
U.S. & World
Southern California Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON), based in San Diego, showed the highest increase in errors with 189 reported errors in 2010, up from 33 reported errors the year before, according to the report.
Central Florida, Houston, Miami and the Potomac facilities round out the top five facilities reporting more than or nearly twice the number of errors than the previous year.
Nationally, the number of reported operational errors overall rose 50 percent.
The SCT is the world's busiest approach control, handling more than 2 million aircraft per year including those planes flying in and out of Lindbergh Field.
Controllers are responsible for managing the 7,000 aircraft in U.S. airspace at any given time and providing instructions to pilots to maintain those standards. While staffing concerns have increased with the recent sequester cuts, the report says there are a number of factors to blame.
Improved radar and other tools as well as the implementation of a system that automatically reports errors have helped the FAA review mistakes as or soon after they occur.
Pilot "read back" has been given greater importance. If the pilot repeats the information incorrectly and the controller doesn't catch it, that is reported as an error.
Also, the Southern California TRACON had been running under a waiver allowing landing aircraft to be closer than normally allowed. That waiver was revoked in 2010.
When explaining the staffing challenges faced by the FAA, the audit states that the agency has 16 staff members investigating these so-called "close calls" by aircraft.
Due to the recent federal budget cuts, the FAA has said it plans on closing more than 100 air traffic control towers at smaller airports nationwide.
In addition, overnight shifts at air traffic control facilities could be scrapped at three airports, including Chicago's Midway according to NBCChicago.
The audit recommended increased reporting of "separation losses" and suggested the FAA not only hire the staff needed to review all error reports but also review the effectiveness of its training.
Ian Gregor, Public Affairs Manager with FAA Pacific Region tried to put the audit in perspective.
In 2010, there were a total of 133,649,786 tower, TRACON and en route air traffic control operations he said.
A total of 1,887 errors were reported, indicating that such reports occurred in 0.001412 percent of the time according to Gregor.
The FAA released this official statement:
The FAA is committed to conducting safe operations throughout the National Airspace System. In January 2012, the FAA significantly changed the way it reports, analyzes and acts upon safety data, including the loss of separation. These changes improve the use of the Air Traffic Safety Action program (ATSAP), a non-punitive reporting system, and the Traffic Analysis and Review Program (TARP), which electronically identifies losses of separation. As a result, the FAA has seen a dramatic increase in reporting, and is now collecting unprecedented amounts of qualitative safety data through ATSAP and quantitative data from TARP. Validation and analysis have greatly enhanced the agency's ability to identify and prioritize risk, then mitigate it through the most effective means available, including training, procedures and technological improvements.
One local business traveler was shocked by the details in the report.
"I travel every week so that puts a little fear in my skin, sure," traveler Dave Herbst said. "I think now more than ever we're relying on air travel and it would concern me to know that there's less people capable of getting us where we need to go."

The Castello Aragonese is easily the most impressive historical monument in Ischia. It stands on a volcanic rock connected to the island by a bridge built in 1438 by Alfonso of Aragon. The Castle, overlooking the vast horizon of the sea, was originally built as a castrum in 474 BC by Gerone of Siracusa and, after a long period of abandonment, reached its golden period during the fourteenth century.
Under the Aragonese dynasty, it became a political, cultural and spiritual centre of notable interest. The Renaissance court of the noble poet Vittoria Colonna, saw the peak of the castle's splendour. Her court raised the Castello to heights of unheard glory: it breathed new life into the place; the arts and sciences flourished as never before under these skies - even Michelangelo was enticed here - but the decline had already begun in the 15th century and continued for more than 100 years.

MCL places a little run window (looks like a drop down box) that you can place anywhere on your screen. You can have it always on top if you like, and just ctrl + alt + m to hit the run window and run things. Kind of handy and doesn't use much in the way of screen space.
Thought maybe some of you would find it handy.

Carb Counting for Diabetes Caregivers
Monitoring carbs is an essential part of planning a healthy diabetes diet. Here's what diabetes caregivers need to know.
If you're caring for a friend or family member who has diabetes, tracking daily carbohydrates is necessary in order to keep your loved one's blood sugar levels within his or her recommended target range. That's because a carb-heavy meal can send blood sugar sky-high.
"If you eat a big plate of spaghetti with garlic bread, that has about 120 carbs in it, so you'll get a big blood sugar spike," explains Tami Ross, president-elect of the American Association of Diabetes Educators and a registered dietitian in Lexington, KY. Blood glucose levels start to increase within about 15 to 20 minutes of eating a high-carb meal and peak one to two hours later.
Here's what you need to know to help your loved one who has diabetes manage carbohydrate intake:
Know the carb budget. Recommended daily carb counts vary, depending on the type of diabetes and how it's being managed. Ross says that most women should eat 45 to 60 carb grams per meal, with a 15-gram snack (half a banana or a cup of plain yogurt) if needed. Men should eat 60 to 75 carb grams per meal, with up to two snacks of 15 to 30 grams each if necessary.
"An analogy that I'll use with my patients is a checking account," says Ross. "You have your carb goal for each meal and snack, and you can spend that on whatever you want. But when it's gone, it's gone. And the penalty for overdrawing the account is that your blood sugar is above target."
Become a carb connoisseur. To learn the carbohydrate amount in packaged items, look at the Nutrition Facts label on the packaging. "The total carbohydrate count is a 'one-stop shop' of information," Ross says. Be mindful of serving size—if the label lists a serving as half a cup, and you know your loved one normally eats a full cup, double the carb amount.
For fresh foods or those eaten away from home, look up the estimated carbohydrate count online, either on a restaurant website or on a site presented by a reputable organization, such as the American Diabetes Association (ADA). For example, according to the ADA, a small piece of fresh fruit, a slice of bread, six chicken nuggets, or one cup of soup contains around 15 carb grams each. If you have a smartphone, there are many free apps available that list carbs and other nutritional information.

All three HOBBIT movies dated and given titles
The three movies will be called:
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - 14 December 2012
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - 13 December 2013
The Hobbit: There and Back Again - 18 July 2014
Interesting news, though to be honest I don't think the second title works that well. Even assuming the film's title comes from its conclusion (basically the end to the book, The Hobbit), that still doesn't seem to leave a lot of material for the third movie.
Whilst Jackson has repeatedly defended the decision to split the slim novel (less than one-third length the size of The Lord of the Rings) in three on the basis that there is material in the appendices of The Lord of the Rings to mine, this claim has not withstood close scrutiny. The overwhelming majority of the appendix materials from Lord of the Rings are not suitable for filming (consisting of information on calendars, languages and timelines) and a lot of what's left over was already employed in the Rings trilogy (such as Aragorn and Arwen's relationship). A small amount of material on the dwarves from the appendix could be used for the Hobbit trilogy but little else. Most of Tolkien's writing connecting The Hobbit more firmly to The Lord of the Rings was published in Unfinished Tales, and Jackson and his team do not have the rights to use any material from that book. This suggests that the bulk of the material which will be used to inflate the slim novel into three two-hour (at least, presumably) movies will be the pure invention of Jackson and his co-writers, and considering how often such inventions were the weakest parts of the Rings trilogy, this is not a heartening prospect.
8 comments:
It doesn't looks like the end of the book will be at the end of second film. The battle should be at the third.
And to little material doesn't seem such a problem, perhaps, there will be no four-hour extended versions.
- 2 September 2012 at 17:02:00 GMT
could be quite simply that they decided to not release extended editions dvds like with lotr and only make the single "theatrical release" for The Hobbit. and they make more money at the box office that way I guess. 120min*3 would be a bit more than half the length of extended ed. lotr.

I'm officially scared!
- 2 September 2012 at 17:54:00 GMT
I have no doubt that these movies will be good. That being said I'm really surprised that Jackson has been so vocal about how much material in the appendixes he can use. That he claims they are basically extended material Tolkien created for the Hobbit is pretty much bullshit. Anyone who has actually read the appendixes know that isn't true, there's maybe 10 pages of material that has anything to do with The Hobbit, and most of it is backstory.
I think the movies will be great though.

I'm a big worried that they'll squeeze three movies out of this by stretching out every fight/chase scene into ten minute CGI extravagansas. I'm trying to have faith though.
- 2 September 2012 at 19:57:00 GMT
i guess, he could mean a few lines in the timeline of the third age as a lot of material, something like Gendalf in Dol Guldur and else.
- 2 September 2012 at 23:56:00 GMT
- Kevin S. said...
I'm going to assume "The Desolation of Smaug" refers to the land around Smaug's mountain, presumably meaning that the second movie chronicles the companions' trip across that space. Of course, that still leaves them the whole third movie to detail the defeat of Smaug and Bilbo's return to the Shire. I wonder if "There and Back Again" will have an order of magnitude more endings than "The Return of the King."
- 3 September 2012 at 10:37:00 GMT
This news actually just upset me... Basically I`m not gonna get to see the part I want to see until the last movie. The book is smaller than Lord of the rings... HOW does he expect to stretch it out

Ed Balls seeks to restore Labour's economic credibility
On Budget Day in just two years' time the man holding the red box outside No 11 may be Labour's Ed Balls. That will only happen if he can restore Labour's economic credibility.
Today the shadow chancellor came to the City to deliver a speech designed to do just that. His message was the same as ever and yet different.
As always he claimed that the government's austerity economics was failing and forcing ministers to search for another £11bn in cuts they never planned to make.
However, he also acknowledged that Labour would have no choice but to go along with many of those cuts and would treat them as "a starting point" for their policies in government.
In other words he was telling his party, as well as the country, that for all his talk of growth and jobs the next Labour government will find itself having to cut day-to-day spending more and tax more too - albeit according to different priorities.
Those hoping he would spell out Labour's spending plans for 2015 - the first year they might be in office - and set out his so-called fiscal rules - ie how fast he aims to reduce the deficit and Britain's debt - were disappointed. He insists that with the economy so uncertain now is not the time.
However, there was one firm commitment - Labour says that the 600,000 pensioners who earn enough to pay higher or top rate tax should no longer get the annual winter fuel allowance.
This is more symbolically significant than it is economically. After all, the party has always stressed its commitment to universalism - the idea that all get the same benefit regardless of their incomes - as a way of binding society together. Besides, as I pointed out to the shadow chancellor, it saves just £100m, which is not much more than one thousandth of the projected annual deficit in 2015.
A sign of how big a step the party regards this is the fact that Mr Balls insisted that Labour would keep the free pensioners bus pass and free prescriptions. The party remembers all too well how Gordon Brown used the threat to benefits to the elderly as a stick to beat David Cameron with at the last election.
Labour opposed the coalition's cut to child benefit for those on higher and top rate tax and still insists it was unfair. It is projected to raise 23 times more than means testing winter fuel payments. So, either Balls will have to be clear that it is a cut he can't restore, or he will have to come up with a new more affordable lower level of child benefit which all can receive.
In truth, economic credibility depends less on published plans and more on public trust. That is why Ed Balls won't stop reminding voters that the coalition's economic plans are way off course and leading to cuts they never dreamt of making.
However, he - unlike most opposition spokesman - also has a personal record to defend. For years he was Gordon Brown's chief economic adviser - in reality if not always in name. Today he insisted that Labour had not been profligate in those years.
His Tory opponents beg to differ of course and having long memories or, perhaps just access to Google, discovered that 17 years ago another shadow chancellor promised the same "iron discipline". Yes, that was Mr Brown.

text: Surprised to see something other than stylized portraits? From the beginning, the goal with this ongoing personal series was to create something completely different from my portrait work. Last fall, I decided I wanted to push myself to create something outside of my comfort zone. I would prefer to let these images stand on their own without adding a story or context to them, but I also realize it is important to talk about one's work. If not the meaning, at least the process. I have attempted to explain these to a few close friends, and the best explanation I have come up with so far is that this good idea evolved from several really bad ideas. What this means is I began with an idea and talked about it for a little while and really wrestled with the concept and how it would read. The first few concepts never really sat right with me, but thinking and talking about them with others eventually led to what you see here. Even after I began shooting, the concept continued to evolve. I worked with a great post production studio called Gigantic Squid, and collaborated with Ian Goode on the final look and feel of everything. This really has been an experiment and exploration of a different type of photography. As much as I pulled away from my portrait work in this process, I came to realize just how important the human element is to me in my work. I learned how to respond to what I was shooting and adapted my approach as the images came to life. That is not something I get to experience when working on an ad campaign which has to be planned out completely before shooting. So far, this project has taken me across Washington and Northern California, and I am planning a couple more out of state trips in the months to come. I have learned so much from this experience and I am excited to see how this continues to evolve and shape me as an artist.

Thanks, Charles Krauthammer!
Now this article makes everything clear and I am back on solid ground.
Charlie Gibson's Gaffe
By Charles Krauthammer
Saturday, September 13, 2008; A17
"At times visibly nervous . . . Ms. Palin most visibly stumbled when she was asked by Mr. Gibson if she agreed with the Bush doctrine. Ms. Palin did not seem to know what he was talking about. Mr. Gibson, sounding like an impatient teacher, informed her that it meant the right of 'anticipatory self-defense.' "
-- New York Times, Sept. 12
Informed her? Rubbish.
The New York Times got it wrong. And Charlie Gibson got it wrong.
There is no single meaning of the Bush doctrine. In fact, there have been four distinct meanings, each one succeeding another over the eight years of this administration -- and the one Charlie Gibson cited is not the one in common usage today. It is utterly different.
He asked Palin, "Do you agree with the Bush doctrine?"
She responded, quite sensibly to a question that is ambiguous, "In what respect, Charlie?"
Sensing his "gotcha" moment, Gibson refused to tell her. After making her fish for the answer, Gibson grudgingly explained to the moose-hunting rube that the Bush doctrine "is that we have the right of anticipatory self-defense."
I know something about the subject because, as the Wikipedia entry on the Bush doctrine notes, I was the first to use the term. In the cover essay of the June 4, 2001, issue of the Weekly Standard entitled, "The Bush Doctrine: ABM, Kyoto, and the New American Unilateralism," I suggested that the Bush administration policies of unilaterally withdrawing from the ABM treaty and rejecting the Kyoto protocol, together with others, amounted to a radical change in foreign policy that should be called the Bush doctrine.
Then came 9/11, and that notion was immediately superseded by the advent of the war on terror. In his address to the joint session of Congress nine days after 9/11, President Bush declared: "Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime." This "with us or against us" policy regarding terror -- first deployed against Pakistan when Secretary of State Colin Powell gave President Musharraf that seven-point ultimatum to end support for the Taliban and support our attack on Afghanistan -- became the essence of the Bush doctrine.
Until Iraq. A year later, when the Iraq war was looming, Bush offered his major justification by enunciating a doctrine of preemptive war. This is the one Charlie Gibson thinks is the Bush doctrine.
It's not. It's the third in a series and was superseded by the fourth and current definition of the Bush doctrine, the most sweeping formulation of the Bush approach to foreign policy and the one that most clearly and distinctively defines the Bush years: the idea that the fundamental mission of American foreign policy is to spread democracy throughout the world. It was most dramatically enunciated in Bush's second inaugural address: "The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands. The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world."
This declaration of a sweeping, universal American freedom agenda was consciously meant to echo John Kennedy's pledge in his inaugural address that the United States "shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty." It draws also from the Truman doctrine of March 1947 and from Wilson's 14 points.
If I were in any public foreign policy debate today, and my adversary were to raise the Bush doctrine, both I and the audience would assume -- unless my interlocutor annotated the reference otherwise -- that he was speaking about the grandly proclaimed (and widely attacked) freedom agenda of the Bush administration.
Not the Gibson doctrine of preemption.
Not the "with us or against us" no-neutrality-is-permitted policy of the immediate post-9/11 days.
Not the unilateralism that characterized the pre-9/11 first year of the Bush administration.
Presidential doctrines are inherently malleable and difficult to define. The only fixed "doctrines" in American history are the Monroe and the Truman doctrines which come out of single presidential statements during administrations where there were few other contradictory or conflicting foreign policy crosscurrents.
Such is not the case with the Bush doctrine.
Yes, Sarah Palin didn't know what it is. But neither does Charlie Gibson. And at least she didn't pretend to know -- while he looked down his nose and over his glasses with weary disdain, sighing and "sounding like an impatient teacher," as the Times noted. In doing so, he captured perfectly the establishment snobbery and intellectual condescension that has characterized the chattering classes' reaction to the mother of five who presumes to play on their stage.
5 comments:
I *work* with that for a living (national strategy/doctrine) and the first thought that popped into my mind when he asked the question was "which one Charlie?" followed immediately by the realization all he was looking for was a "gotcha" moment than a cogent response.
Sarah did well in a difficult interview especially when you see the edited out portions.

How do I miss living/working in the D.C. Area. Back in the 90's I used to work right at Dupont Circle. I guess that Mr. Krauthammer used to work there also. Every so often I would bump into him bombing his way up M Street in his wheelchair, with a possessed look in his face. LOL

Nobody knows what the Bush doctrine is, and that includes George W.

Sorry Somerville Slim - He knows even if you want to cast him as the fool. I know, and I agree with it.
Our security will be enhanced bythe spread of democracy in the Middle East and all over the Gap. The more people who are brought into the Core, the better for all of us.
I also believe in pre-emption. You do realize that we don't make a policeman wait until he has actually bee shot before he can fire on a suspect. In certain circumstances he can shot when the weapon is leveled at him. That's pre-emption.

An employee is entitled to use sick leave when he or she must be absent from work for purposes related to his or her adoption of a child. Examples of adoption-related purposes may include but are not limited to:
At the discretion of the agency, up to 240 hours (30 days) of sick leave may be advanced to an employee, when required by the exigencies of the situation, for purposes related to the adoption of a child. For further details, please see our fact sheet entitled Advanced Sick Leave.
There is no limitation on the amount of sick leave that may be used for adoption-related purposes. Sick leave for adoption-related purposes does not count towards the 104-hour (13-day) limit of sick leave each leave year for family care and bereavement purposes or the overall limit of 12 weeks of sick leave each leave year for all family care purposes.
An employee must request sick leave within such time limits as the agency may require. To the extent possible, an employee may be required to request advanced approval for sick leave for purposes related to the adoption of a child. If the employee complies with the agency's notification and medical evidence/certification requirements, the agency must grant sick leave.
An agency may request administratively acceptable evidence for sick leave used for adoption-related purposes. Employees should consult their agency-specific human resources guidance and review applicable policies set forth in collective bargaining agreements for information specific to their agency.
Sick leave may not be used by an employee who voluntarily chooses to be absent from work to bond with or care for a healthy adopted child. (An employee likewise may not use sick leave to voluntarily be absent from work to bond with or care for a healthy biological child.) There is no provision in law or regulation that permits the use of sick leave to care for a healthy child, bond with a healthy child, or for other child care responsibilities. Please see OPM's Handbook on Leave and Workplace Flexibilities for Childbirth, Adoption, and Foster Care for more information.
Sick leave may be used only for those circumstances specified in law and regulation. The Federal Government offers a wide range of leave options and workplace flexibilities to assist an employee who needs to be away from the workplace. These flexibilities include annual leave, sick leave, advanced annual leave or advanced sick leave, leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), donated leave under the voluntary leave transfer program, leave without pay, alternative work schedules, credit hours under flexible work schedules, compensatory time off and telework. Agencies may also have a voluntary leave bank program.

Giving you the best of both worlds, this handsome compact range blends the classic styling of traditional ranges with a wealth of state-of-the-art modern features for an easier and more stylish way to cook your favourite dishes.
Rangemaster heritage
Drawing on nearly 200 years of tradition and heritage, you can prepare meals with confidence and precision when you cook with the Rangemaster Classic Deluxe 100.
With an energy rating of A, the 100 cm wide Classic Deluxe is efficient and smaller than a full scale range, making it ideal for anyone who wants to cook like a professional at home, even in smaller kitchens.
Feature packed multifunction cooking
Featuring everything you want from a traditional range cooker including two large programmable ovens, a separate grill compartment, spiral handles and bevelled doors, you have plenty of room to cook even the most complicated dishes.
Use either of the two large ovens to make practically anything with this versatile range to cook with gas hob and electric oven for the best of both worlds.
Boasting a spacious 69-litre multifunction oven as well as a tall 81 litre fan oven, the possibilities with the Classic Deluxe are endless. Speed up defrosting, brown your meat and crisp up pizza bases with seven different functions to fine tune your dishes and add a touch of finesse to your cooking. Combined there is nothing you can't make.
Expand your menu
With settings to cater to absolutely everything you want to cook, the Classic Deluxe 100 will make it easier than ever to cook like the professionals at home.
In addition to the four quick response gas hobs you also get a high-speed three-ring wok burner that lets you rustle up a stir-fry in minutes, while the half-smooth, half-ribbed griddle is the best tool to use for the perfect cooked breakfast.
Slide the cast iron griddle over the burners and increase your cooking area to sear meat fish and vegetables while the ridges help drain off fat for a healthier way to eat.
Innovation and usability
Use the Classic Deluxe 100 and enjoy the benefits of Rangemaster's commitment to intelligent design. Cast iron pan supports are both hard wearing and easy to clean, simply pop them in the dishwasher and avoid hours of tedious scrubbing to keep your cooker in pristine condition.
The Classic Deluxe 100 also boasts a convenient swing out roasting rack that attaches to the oven door and lets you check on the status of your roast without burning your hands on the door or shelves.
All you have to do is open the door and the Handyrack roasting tray is right in front of you, just another way that the Classic Deluxe makes cooking an easy, and stress free experience.
Putting safety first, the Classic Deluxe features a Flame Supervision Device for added peace of mind; if the flame is extinguished for any reason the FSD detects it and automatically shuts off the gas supply preventing a potentially dangerous gas build up.
For fantastic results in the kitchen try the Rangemaster Classic Deluxe 100 Dual Fuel Range Cooker.

Six men in a commentary team...
1. Richie Benaud
The easiest of picks. He is the Bradman of broadcasting and an absolute encyclopedia.
2. Michael Holding
I like his little tidbits of information and his cool voice. I think it's the fact that the West Indies are such a part of cricket history that makes it essential to have one in the commentary team. He's the Gary Sobers of commentating in that he's a clear and easy number 2.
3. Mark Nicholas
What do you think of Mark Nicholas? He seems to annoy a lot of people and one said he's "laminated in his own self-regard." Always sounding poetic and noble etc. He honestly doesn't bug me... but now that C4 lost the cricket rights, I doubt we'll see him much these days. He's now a member of the 9 network team I think on a full time basis. I enjoyed him on C4 when he was commentating with Benaud... they complement each other. Without Benaud I don't think he's as great. I smile remembering the time he said to Mark Taylor "You like the AC/DC?". My parents couldn't sound so dorkish if they tried.
4. Geoff Boycott
You need an insane irrational biast character in the commentary box. Australia has Bill Lawry and England Boycott. I could've picked either. Boycott is so silly it defies description. In the Ashes when Gilchrist kept on saying "'bowled Shane' Boycott went on a rant that some may remember saying stuff like "when is it a bad delivery when England are blocking him well etc." Him mocking Michael Slater's reaction to Shane Warne bowling Andrew Strauss with neato as well. Which leads me to...
5. Michael Slater
I like the bloke and he and Boycott made a neat little team in the Ashes. He's a biast Australian, but also has constructive things to say. Anybody who can make New Zealand commentators sound tollerable deserves to be on the list. New Zealanders should not commentate!
6. Tony Greig
For many, Tony Greig is what's most annoying about Australia's channel 9 team. But I like him, he's an antogonist. I love Greggy, the way he'd annoy guys like Lillee and Thompson on the field with his antics. He annoys Bill Lawry and provokes him and it makes for good TV. Always the first the say something provoking aboiut the Australians like "who's choking now!"
Adding Greggy makes me wanna put Bill Lawry in. Lawry is such a nut, I remember when Murali nearly got an edge of Gilchrist and Lawry said "well bowled and well played" before Ian Healey was like "no not well played Billy, surely, not well played!" He's the type of guy to say "nice leave" to his favorite Aussie players when they're nearly bowled.
Thought about Botham since he's another biased provoking comentator. He's not as good as Greggy in annoying people, but he is a powerful personallity and mainstream character.

In regards to WoW, I haven't the slightest desire to return to the game and at this point I couldn't care less about Cataclysm. I have become totally disconnected, though I admit that I still follow the WoW community loosely. The best thing is that I don't have to read 99% of blog posts or articles. I just skim quickly over the titles (in my Google Reader ftw!) and delete most of the entries.
Going back to addiction, (hey there Dalaila!), you can say that I quit WoW cold turkey. See, no problem.
7 comments:
How's your P90X program going on? Blog about it, that would be interesting (along with some before-after pics maybe).
- May 5, 2010 at 9:25 AM
I read a very interesting book that came out recently called "The Multiplicities of Internet Addiction" (it costs $100 on Amazon.com, but I checked it out from the library). The author argues that there's no such thing as 'internet addiction' per se, since it's not something like tobacco or drugs which you can become physically dependent upon. (As an analogy, people don't say they're 'addicted' to TV, books, or exercise). Indeed, since the internet has become a crucial tool for socializing and work, it is naturally expected that we spend more time on the computer. But there is definitely the potential for online games such as WoW, which demand lots and lots of time, to interfere with real-life obligations, and that's when use becomes 'problematic,' but still not necessarily addictive, since you can always switch to a different form of entertainment.
I wouldn't say I'm addicted, but that I have an 'obsession' with WoW. I started playing last summer and even though I haven't played it for two months (devoting more time to college), I still think about renewing my account daily and get my WoW 'fix' by looking at websites (and I managed to stumble across your blog, after all!). Instead of playing WoW, I've been reading books and writing random stuff in my spare time (I'm an English major). I feel more productive, and I think reading is overall a more positive experience, but at the end of the day what you do in your spare time doesn't really matter, as long as you save time for the important stuff. I wish you best of luck in whatever you choose to do.

" at the end of the day what you do in your spare time doesn't really matter, as long as you save time for the important stuff "
Nice one and well said. On a side note, the latest Cataclism news make me quite nervous... I don't play WoW anymore but looking at those new world maps of Azerot make me cry.

I just finished Borderlands, damn :|

I keep checking back to see if you've made a p90x progress post. I know I can't be the only one hoping for an update.
- July 1, 2010 at 11:03 AM
You're not alone indeed, checking on a daily basis...
- July 6, 2010 at 4:02 AM

Imho he completely failed and is not strong enough to come here and admit it... :-P

You reserved the following product for your request:
flexilinkjumper - A Reliable Connector for LEDs and More
The flexilink jumper is a non-pluggable board-to-board connector that can be used in a variety of situations. Its space-saving design and high current rating make it a winner.A board-to-board distance of 1 mm and a footprint of only 3.8 mm on the circuit board enable maximum use of space and a range of applications. For example, the connector can be used to 'daisy chain' LED boards. The circuit board connector is a mere 2 mm high.
flexilinkb-t-b - For parallel PCB Connections with 2.54 mm Pitch
flexilink is the perfect solution when you are looking for a high-quality pressfit connection for PCB stacking.
The advantages are obvious: with only one element you create a mechanical as well as electrical connection. Standoffs are redundant, which saves costs and space on the PCB. In addition you can choose within a range of 5 up to 25 mm board-to-board distance and combine different rows and contact numbers.
