In my last post, I encouraged employers to anticipate and plan for discussions about race in the workplace following President Obama's suggestion last week the workplace may be an appropriate forum in which to "convene a conversation about race."
Today, Grace Tatter, writing for Corporate Counsel continues the discussion and provides insights for employers from Richard Cohen, a partner in Fox Rothschild's labor and employment practice and Michael Norton, an associate professor of business administration at Harvard Business School. Oh, and yeah, I'm also quoted.

Readers interested in this discussion may also find Assistant Professor of Organizational Studies at the MIT Sloan School of Management Evan P. Apfelbaum's research of interest. Here is a link to an opinion piece he did for CNN discussing what he views as "The Risks of Ignoring Race in the Workplace."
Workplace Investigations Group is headquartered in Atlanta, GA and has a national directory of professional workplace investigators who are all attorneys and have a minimum of ten years of employment litigation experience. As such, wherever the workplace issue arises, corporate counsel and employers can easily identify an investigator who can respond to the regional need quickly, impartially and competently.

24 Dec Can that be Lennon looking at a price tag?
There's a question all red- blooded Canadians with a slight inferiority complex should ask themselves.
If London town is so swinging, how come its number one son comes to Canada with an empty suitcase knowing that filling it is as easy as having $800 and 30 minutes?
Cause that's just how long it took the Lennons… you know, John and Yoko… to park their white Rolls Royce on Yonge street in Toronto and swoop into Le Chateau.
John bought jumpsuits, hats and scarves…. Yoko bought everything in sight, including five blouses by Finnish designer, Hans Metzen. It's easy to see how Yoko got the lion's share of the purchases. Five blouses at each, and her pointing finger at other things added up to $600.
But then, the Lennons knew shopping wouldn't be difficult.
When they were in Montreal last May for their bed-in, they dropped by Le Chateau on St. Catherine street at proprietor Hershie Segal's invitation and bought eight jumpsuits … three each and two for their daughter Kyoko.
In Toronto last week they didn't wait for an invitation.
They rang up, made an appointment and asked for privacy because they're always mobbed.
And the store complied… locking all three doors.
But… the word had gone out and the mob gathered outside, making an exit impossible for the Lennons… a dignified exit, that is.
So, the store manager made his first public appearance, asked for calm and said the Lennons would be out if they would please behave themselves … the crowd did and were rewarded with John's speech for peace before he and his wife got into their Rolls with all their bundles and drove off…

This paper presents LocTrackJINQS, a flexible and extensible spatio-temporal simulation tool for systems that involve the flow and processing of customers at multiple service centres. Developed based on the multi-class queueing network simulation package JINQS, LocTrackJINQS retains the abstract model specification power of JINQS while providing additional low-level models of entity movement. Besides traditional performance metrics, LocTrackJINQS produces as output a trace of each entity's location in the system over time. It can thus be used to generate synthetic location tracking data for location-based research or applications.

SBN Cleveland G.P. Practice Times: Daly on Top
Friday, June 22, 2007 CLEVELAND, Ohio – It was late in the day when the drivers in the BFGoodrich/Skip Barber National Presented by Mazda got their first laps on Cleveland's featureless but fun and fast 2.106-mile, 10-turn airport runway layout. The session ended 5 minutes earlier than planned when Juan Pablo Contreras found the tire wall with a big corner-exit oversteering moment in Turn Eight, but most got in nine or 10 laps of practice. When the checker flew, the fastest time was put up by… Conor Daly.
Yes, the son of Derek, Daly – in his first National event, following just a handful of Skip Barber Regional races – put in a 1:27.564 lap, nipping Ricky Taylor's 1:27.716. Granted, Daly's Skip Barber Formula 2000 hadn't yet been ballasted, so the 15-year-old was running light, but still…
Third-quick was A.J. Riley, followed by Gabby Chaves, points leader Joel Miller, Fabio Orsolon, Josef Newgarden, Timmy Megenbier, Chris Wehrheim and Jonathan Gore. The fastest Master Division driver was Jeff Kaiser, followed by Alan Baia, Dom Bastien, points-leader Dick Lippert and Mike Distaulo.
Tomorrow (Saturday) at noon is qualifying. The Champ Car Cleveland Grand Prix weekend schedule allows just one qualifier for the Skip Barber National, so officials have lengthened the session to the maximum that the cars' fuel cell will allow; each driver's fastest lap will grid them for race one, and their next-quickest lap will qualify them for race two.

All Nippon Airways stated the delayed introduction of its new B777-300ER aircraft until Apr-2010 arose after Japan's Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Ministry found a flaw in the 24 Premium Economy seats upon a strength inspection (The Yomiuri Shimbun, 06-Feb-2010). Upgraded seating is expected to be installed from Aug-2010, with the carrier planning to claim for damages from seat manufacturer, Koito Industries Ltd.
Singapore Airlines plans to delay the introduction of its 11th A380, after Koito failed to deliver seats for the aircraft on time (Bloomberg, 05-Feb-2010). Plans to overhaul its B777s will also be affected by the delays. Continental Airlines and Japan Airlines have also been forced to delay deliveries or make seat changes after Koito failed to deliver on time or according to specification. Continental was forced to delay the delivery of two B737-800s in Jan-2010 due to late seating, with the carrier adding several more could be affected. Japan Airlines meanwhile received non-certified seating material on its B777-200s last year.

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad ensures for itself an exciting life. It is barely a few days since it had a go at communal disturbance in Dhar in Madhya Pradesh, by trying to take over a disputed structure. Since the rationale for the VHPs existence is the creation of hysteria, it tends to repeat its more successful strategies. Dhar was an echo of Ayodhya, possibly a prologue to a hoped-for repetition of the Gujarat experiment. But now the VHP must be most pleased that the Ayodhya question itself is once again at centrestage. It can make its most outrageous statements, flaunt its dharma sansad full of sadhus as the ultimate arbiter of all things of Hindu interest, show off its tridents and blood-lust, pretend that the courts do not exist, say the most nasty things about the prime minister and get away with it all. But in spite of its ringing monotone of righteous religious passion, it has managed to modulate its moves, blowing hot and then slightly cooler from time to time. This would suggest two things. One, that it is not willing to fall completely foul of the Bharatiya Janata Party, which may be compelled at the last to do something drastic simply because it is the leading party at the Centre. After all, the VHPs space in the polity depends on the BJPs position. Two, the BJP needs the presence of an almost-uncontrollable Hindutva front, so that it can gain from the polarization of votes on the one hand, and, on the other, do strange things like ask the court for an early judgment, as if in the interests of better administration. It is a finely nuanced relationship, dependent on the tugs of an invisible leash.
The VHPs march to Parliament was a token gesture, as was its vilification of the prime minister. The BJP cannot be seen to be doing anything in direct violation of the courts decision, even if the prime minister says publicly that the available evidence is likely to make the Ayodhya verdict favourable. The din is bound to increase as elections approach, and back-up strategies are all in place. For example, the noise over cow slaughter has again risen to a peak. The manufacturing of causes needs expert coordination and presentation. But the play-acting aspect does not mean that any of this can be taken lightly, with the Babri Masjid demolition and the Gujarat carnage already in the Hindutva campaigners pocket. Using religion to polarize the electorate may have as its end the consolidation of political power, but the informing ideal for the rank and file remains the formation of a Hindu rashtra. It is this ultimate destruction of democracy that must be feared and resisted.

Executive Director
Matthew Craig
To My Fellow Young Preservationists:
Our city is undergoing a great renaissance–a renewal of purpose and form, and shaking off the rust of decay that too quickly seeps into the infrastructure. In my first couple of weeks as the new Executive Director of the YPA, I sat with other consultant groups trying to come to an agreement with Point Park University about preserving the facades on Forbes Avenue from the buildings being demolished as part of this great renewal. I offered this old joke: how many people in Pittsburgh does it take to change a light bulb? The answer is three: one to change it and two to talk about how much they preferred the old one. But now, as I listen to what those two people have to say about that old "light bulb" I found out that it was pretty interesting; in fact, VERY interesting. Which brings me to how my first month on the job has been: VERY interesting!
One of the first things that I wanted to do–mostly out of respect, but also out of curiosity–was to reach out to the founder of YPA, Dan Holland, to learn what he and his Board had set out to do, what they had accomplished, and what pieces were waiting for us to pick up and carry forward, such as the National Negro Opera House in Homewood. Dan and his band did amazing work and have left a strong legacy for us to stand on; a foundation from which we can continue to build. I would like to here thank Dan and all of the others who dedicated so much of their time and effort for all of the good work they have done.
I am also greatly impressed with the current leadership of the Board of Directors, and with the impressive talent that they have assembled for the work ahead. Their attention to detail and the networking that they have all done in so many areas will make the work that I have to do so much easier.
I am also very thankful for all of you who are taking the time to read our newsletter. Thanks for being a vital part of our growing network and for keeping us abreast on the ongoing needs of preserving the great historical structures that make our region so rich. I am looking forward to meeting you and working together on what we know to be important.
My wife's father is a master brick layer, and when you've studied the work of a master, you can more fully appreciate the artistry and the hard-working hands that built the structures that we all want to preserve. I was thinking about him as I wrote this:
All of our stories are written in the bricks and mortar; our higher aspirations carved in terra cotta.

- Swimming at Horseshoe Bay beach (my favorite beach!)
- Snorkeling at Church Bay
- Renting mopeds and riding around the island (stay to the left!)
- Explore historic St. George
- Go underground at the Crystal Caves
Trip Details
When: September 2012
Where: Hamilton, Southampton
How: Long weekend trip
- Explore the caves and natural whirlpools at Horseshoe Bay. When you're facing the ocean at the beach, walk to your left, then climb over the rocks.
- The best viewpoint of the island and surround beaches is from the top of Gibb's Hill Lighthouse
- Other Great Beaches:
- Shelly Bay on the North Shore (great for swimming)
- Elbow Beach (beautiful sunsets)
- Warwick Long Bay Beach and neighboring Jobson's Cove
- Dine:
- Lunch at Swizzle Inn
- Henry VIII restaurant (for a nice night out–ask to be seated outside!)
- Stay:
- Wade's Garden Inn (apartment-style)
- Fairmont Southampton (luxury)
Bermuda is a such a beautiful place and it's only a 2 hour flight away from Boston! Because the island is further north than the the rest of the Caribbean islands, it's best to visit from Spring through Fall, as it gets much cooler during the winter. Most cruises to Bermuda only operate during this time anyway.
Most of the beaches have pink sand, yes, pink sand! The South shore beaches are best for exploring caves and coves, and for long walks along the soft sand. The North shore beaches are actually better for swimming and more family friendly because there are less waves.
There are lots of different regions of the island worth visiting, from the Royal Navy Dockyard all the way out to the UNESCO world heritage site of St. George. They don't allow foreigners to rent cars, here, because the roads are so windy and narrow along the cliffs and because they drive on the left, which a lot of people are not used to. It's very dangerous. We rented mopeds, but had to be very careful.
The food is not cheap! So definitely make sure you save your pennies for meals out. We stayed at a place with a kitchen, so we made some of our own meals, as well as eating at local dives not meant for tourists (decent prices, but mostly fried foods, burgers, salads, and such).
I would definitely go back to Bermuda in a heartbeat!

Good evening, folks! Rested and ready after a hard day of work? I know I am, or I would be, that is, if I didn't start translate during lunch, on the bus ride home to work, and upon getting home to work. But there is a benefit to all this; the second bonus chapter of the day, Book 6, Chapter 19 – The King of Killers is ready for release! Have fun reading! New friends and fans, remember to please consider turning your Adblock if you enjoy what Wuxia World has to offer!
This is the third bonus chapter in a row provided courtesy of a big group flurry of donations from RG from Niagara Falls, Saganatsu, Zouave, TP from Minnesota, OD from Germany. Big big big thumps up to you guys! I'll work on Chapter 20 after some food, which is being brought to you via a donor who wishes to be anonymous, Honaidy, kirindas, WR from Melbourne, AK from the UK, CD from California, MS from Germany, and SW from Washington.

WAR AGAINST WAR The American Fight for Peace, 1914-1918 By Michael Kazin Illustrated. 378 pp. Simon & Schuster. "Yet it was our lives that were at stake, and we had been taught even as children that God himself created them and set us humans above all his other creatures," Alfred Döblin has one German veteran of World War I tell another in his novel about postwar Berlin, "A People Betrayed." "And here we were flinging them aside, our lives, as though they were dead logs, as though we had never learned anything." The Americans who struggled mightily to prevent their Read More
The Underground Story
GATEWAY TO FREEDOM The Hidden History of the Underground Railroad by Eric Foner Illustrated W. W. Norton & Company 301 pages "I dreaded the approach of summer, when snakes and slaveholders made their appearance," wrote Harriet Jacobs, author, educator, servant, mother of two — and escaped slave. Jacobs had fled from Edenton, N.C., to get away from the attentions of the father of a little girl who "owned" her. These had persisted even after she had two children by another white man (and a member of Congress), so she "hid in a small crawl space above her Read More
I Read You Loud and Clear
I love book clubs. I love reading for them, I love talking to them, and if I had my choice I'd probably do nothing but visit them to promote my books. Where else do you find people who have already made a commitment to read your book, and to read it closely enough to discuss it in a knowledgeable fashion with their friends? The best insights I've ever been offered about my work have come from book club members. In a world full of readings attended by the inevitable, random 5-to-10 bookstore browsers and 20-year-old assistant night managers who consistently Read More
In Full Swing
ONE SUMMER: America, 1927 Bill Bryson Illustrated Doubleday 509 pages Sometimes, one magnificent season can define an era. At least, that's the view in trade publishing of late, where "year" books have become something of a mania: "19__: The Year Our World Changed/Began/Ended/Learned to Love the Macarena." But it's not hard to argue that the apogee of the wild ride America took in the 1920s came in the summer of 1927. It was the summer—if one allows "summer" to occasionally include parts of both spring and fall—that Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs, much of the country was engulfed Read More
Professor In Chief
WILSON By A. Scott Berg Illustrated G. P. Putnam's Sons 818 pages No American president was more improbable than Thomas Woodrow Wilson. None better embodied how we like to think of ourselves in the greater world. A Princeton University president and political economy professor given to making high-minded speeches and advocating a parliamentary system, Wilson held no public office until he was 54 years old. Recruited to run for governor of New Jersey in 1910 by a Democratic machine boss who thought he would be easily controlled, the prof schooled the pro in practical politics, passing a reform agenda that Read More
Adventures Underground
RAGE IS BACK By Adam Mansbach Viking 290 pages When I first came to live in New York, in 1976, I was enthralled by the graffiti in the subways. It seemed a language from some secret world beneath the city, letters that were barely letters, shaped by hands you never saw: a call to resistance, maybe, notes from the underground. Looking at pictures of it now — particularly the graffiti scrawled inside the cars — I admit it's hard not to see it as many of my fellow New Yorkers did then, as signs of a city out Read More
Foiled Again
ENEMIES A History of the FBI By Tim Weiner Illustrated Random House 537 pages On Dec. 31, President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act, which allows for the indefinite military detention, without trial, of any American citizen "who was a part of or substantially supported Al Qaeda, the Taliban or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners." This act effectively abrogates the Bill of Rights and removes one of the cornerstones of Western liberty. But not to worry. In a signing statement, Obama pledged that he would not authorize Read More
Coffin Ships
The Law of Dreams By Peter Behrens Steerforth Press 408 pages The Irish potato famine of the 1840s is one of those catastrophes that have lost much of their sting. Despite increased official recognition of the famine, thanks to the mundane nature of the tuber involved it's still a punch line for many people, usually delivered in a mock brogue on St. Paddy's Day: "Ah, the po-ta-to famine!" But this enormous human tragedy left more than one and a half million Irish men, women and children dead from starvation and starvation-related diseases, many of them dying along the Read More
The Doctors Who Killed a President
DESTINY OF THE REPUBLIC A Tale of Madness, Medicine, and the Murder of a President By Candice Millard Illustrated Doubleday 339 pages "Charlie said, 'Hell, If I am guilty, Then God is as well.' But God was acquitted And Charlie committed Until he should hang." — Stephen Sondheim "The Ballad of Guiteau," from Assassins If an obscure 19th-century Read More
Mr. Muckraker
I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE A Life of Lincoln Steffens By Peter Hartshorn Illustrated Counterpoint 517 pages He knew everyone and he went everywhere. He was a confidant to presidents, a mentor to two of the most influential journalists in American history, a friend to industrialists, artists, ward heelers, Communists and bohemians. He claimed to have spent the rest of his life after college "unlearning" everything he had been taught. He saw through all pretenses, circumventions and lies — even the ones he told himself — until in the end he was hornswoggled by the biggest lie Read More

Donnie Walsh wanted to keep Primoz Brezec. Walsh knew, despite Brezec averaging barely a point in three seasons with the Pacers, that Brezec could shoot, that the Slovenian taken 27th in the 2000 NBA draft could be an effective NBA player.
One problem: Walsh had too many good players. With the Charlotte Bobcats joining the league, the Pacers could protect only eight players in the expansion draft.
In the end, it came down to Brezec or Reggie Miller. The Pacers didn't believe the new Bobcats would select Miller, though there was always the chance they could and trade him. And the Pacers could make a deal with the Bobcats, giving them something in exchange for not drafting Miller.
Neither option was satisfactory.
It's not like Miller, 39, was a key piece for the Pacers' championship hopes anymore. In fact, they'd signed Stephen Jackson to play shooting guard and the coaches were privately hoping Miller would volunteer to come off the bench after his poorest pro season.
But none of that truly entered into Walsh's thinking. The Pacers' president had no intention of exposing Miller and his reputation to expansion. Walsh would not do that to the player who represented the rise of the franchise from its NBA mediocrity after the ABA-NBA merger and who'd come to adopt his new city. Brezec has become a productive center for the surprising expansion team, averaging 11.7 points and 6.4 rebounds, as Walsh suspected he would. And now, of all times, the Pacers could certainly use him. But never, ever at the cost of embarrassing one of his top players.
Does this sound like the kind of monster who would spawn the men who participated in arguably the worst moment in NBA history, the horrific riot on Nov. 19 in Auburn Hills?
The result, as we all know, was unprecedented suspensions, huge fines and a national examination of fan and player behavior and their attitudes toward one another. Indeed, the belief was the entire sport was being threatened and put on trial.
Yet, perhaps the biggest victims of this are the Indiana Pacers, and to a lesser extent, the Detroit Pistons, who are two of the best, most highly regarded and decent franchises in pro sports.
They meet each other Dec. 25 in Indianapolis for the first time since the contretemps that resulted in suspensions that have Ron Artest out for the season and Jermaine O'Neal and Jackson out into January, though an arbitrator has ruled that O'Neal is eligible to play right away, pending a court challenge by the NBA.
The Pistons are back to full strength, if not full confidence and proficiency. They were dragging along through Sunday with the same record as the Pacers, barely peeking above .500 all season with poorer defense, worse shooting and a classic post-championship hangover. The Pacers, 5-9 since the event despite a surge immediately afterward, work nightly to scrape together a team worthy of the NBA.
Some members of the Pistons' front office see themselves as victims, their community perhaps inexorably tarred by what they consider the ultimate and only true instigator, Artest. The Pacers, frustrated with their glorious season perhaps being lost (they were blowing out the Pistons in Detroit with seconds left when the riot broke out), believe they have suffered the most.
And perhaps the most wrenching blow to the gut of these two franchises is that their efforts to do things the right way have been overshadowed, washed away, trashed by a single incident on a single night.
But when was the last time you heard a Pacers' player complain, ask to be traded, condemn management?
It doesn't happen.
Pacers' players, even when they leave through free agency by their choice, come to regret it. Al Harrington has suggested such already, and players like Antonio Davis, Jalen Rose, Dale Davis, Mark Jackson and Travis Best have talked openly of their Pacers' days being their best.
Perhaps it's not always the best business decision, but the Pacers routinely take care of their players with long-term contracts.
Many have mocked those given to Austin Croshere and Rose. The day Artest was traded to Indiana, the Pacers promised him an immediate long-term deal to relieve financial pressure. Same with little-used Jonathan Bender. The Pacers create stability. They don't negotiate for the extra few dollars.
Walsh won't be wearing a white beard this week. And he doesn't have to. Around the Pacers' organization all year he's called "Santa Donnie."
When Walsh had to dismiss coach George Irvine, who had brought Walsh to the Pacers, Walsh rehired Irvine as a consultant and personnel specialist whenever Irvine was not working. Walsh routinely contacts fans who write with issues, often takes calls about concerns after the Auburn Hills incident. When the Pacers went to the 2000 NBA Finals, Walsh flew the staff and their families to Los Angeles for the games.
There's a longtime maintenance worker at the team's fieldhouse who is deaf and, it turns out, an excellent bowler. He wanted to compete in the Deaf Olympics in Europe but couldn't afford to do so. Walsh had the staff put together a fundraiser for the man to take his entire family and then privately made up the shortfall.
Yes, all franchises do charitable work. But not all have the kind of charitable, high-character people you find with the Pacers and Pistons. Sure, they'll take on an Artest or a Rasheed Wallace. But those players are the exceptions. After all, it is a business of winning first. You have to accept some blemishes with the talent, especially when you think the talent can be shaped to fit the character of the franchise.
Miller last season was the winner of the league's J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award for his work in the community. It includes a foundation established for victims of fires. Plus, Miller does much of his charitable work himself, regularly stopping by schools and hospitals unannounced or personally greeting ill children at home without even telling the Pacers, let alone the media.
Yes, Jermaine O'Neal was one of the players throwing punches in the brutal fight. But he may be one of the best overall players and people in the NBA.
We know this because that's what the Professional Basketball Writers Association called him last season. The writers annually present the Magic Johnson Award to the player who combines excellence on the court with it off the court in dealing with the public and media. O'Neal was last season's recipient.
And, no, they aren't Bad Boys in Detroit anymore, even if several of them are still around somewhere in the organization, including team president Joe Dumars, Detroit Shock coach Bill Laimbeer and broadcaster Rick Mahorn (who even tried to keep Artest out of the stands that night). The Pistons don't need many reunions, because hardly anyone ever leaves.
Add team doctor Ben Paolucci, trainer Mike Abdenour and media director Matt Dobek to the core who have been there for two decades. The scout who discovered Dumars -- Will Robinson -- was kept on the staff into his early 90s and was presented a championship ring last season.
Yes, Dumars. When the NBA decided to inaugurate a sportsmanship award, it looked for a suitable name -- and now it's the Joe Dumars Sportsmanship Award.
This has been growing into a great rivalry in recent years, and now it's the best in the wake of the dismantling of the Lakers and Kings. But, despite the intensity, there won't be a repeat Saturday in Indianapolis of the sad events of November 19. Heck, most of the key participants won't even be there.
These are two teams that represent the best in basketball on and off the court -- hard work, commitment, effort, passion and loyalty. Perhaps we'll remember that by the time the playoffs roll around. We should applaud who they've been and who they are rather than what they were for a moment in time.

Above The Clouds! (Cameron Highlands & Taman Negara)
Malaysia Travel Blog› entry 11 of 43 › view all entries
Another 6 hour journey and we arrive at the
So on to our next destination, the oldest rainforest in the world 'Taman Negara'. As we arrived we booked on to the night walk and we where going spend the next day trekking on our own. So that night we headed out into the rainforest at 9pm with our tour guide, spent 2 hours walking through the jungle seeing a few spiders, bats, stick insects but nothing to get to excited about. You probably think back home that when I talk about that I go to these jungles and other weird places that snakes would just be easy to see but it is actually really hard to ever find them they have such good hearing that by the time we are anywhere near them they are gone. Any wildlife in the jungle is difficult to see as the paths that you are allowed to walk through only probably cover like 2% of the forest. Next day we where up bright and early, had possible the worst breakfast I have had whilst traveling. We started out trek to go and see the canopy walkway above the trees. That was really good fun walking on a really wobbly bridge with a walkway the size of a plank of wood to walk on. From there we decided to go on one of the set paths that would take you to one of the best views of the forest. Around half way we all starting to think this probably was not such a good idea as we all so tired and was not an easy trek. The trek only seemed to get harder and trying to get up to the view point was a very tricky task, having to climb up rocks manovering through the gaps. Eventually we made the top and were happy to just have sat down for half an hour and watch the millions of marching ants work around us. We where supposed to do another trail in the afternoon but by the time we had all made it back from the first trail the only real place we wanted to go was bed. We only spent one day in the forest but was good to see it and now I remembered after my last 6 hour trek in Ko Sok why I vowed to never do it again.

Amazon Giveaway supports securing your prizes, enforcing entry requirements like follow or watch a brief video, hosting your giveaway, determining winners instantly or by random drawing, getting prizes to winners, and handling certain income tax reporting responsibilities. As a host, you decide what you want to give away and why, and then use Amazon Giveaway to create awareness and engagement with your audience. Participants can enter your giveaway with confidence knowing that it will be run as described, prizes are real and will be delivered by Amazon, and their information will be protected. Learn more about Amazon Giveaway.
2. What types of giveaways can I run and how should I choose between them?
Amazon Giveaway supports four models to select winners. Prizes can be awarded at random based on odds set by the host (1/N), at an interval set by the host (every Nth), to the first number of participants set by the host (first N), or selected randomly after the giveaway entry period has ended.
3. What does it cost to run a giveaway?
There is no additional fee to run a giveaway. As a host, you purchase prizes at the price on the Amazon.com site and pay for sales tax and any shipping to the winner(s). Since winners and their locations are not known when you set up a giveaway, you are charged an estimated amount to cover sales tax and (for physical prizes) shipping and are refunded any excess when your giveaway ends. If physical prizes are unclaimed when your giveaway ends, those will be returned and included in your refund. If you have digital prizes unclaimed when your giveaway ends, you can create a new giveaway with those prizes or download them to distribute however you choose. You will receive a confirmation email after your giveaway ends that includes this information.
4. How do I set up a giveaway?
Start by selecting the eligible item you want as a prize from the tens of millions of eligible items on Amazon.com. On eligible product detail pages, locate the 'Set up an Amazon Giveaway' section near the bottom of the page. Then complete the two-step wizard to enter the details of your giveaway and checkout. Shortly thereafter, you will receive an email with the unique URL(s) to your giveaway. You then can share your link with your audience.
5. What do I need to run a giveaway?
You will need an Amazon.com account that is in good standing and have a valid credit card that can cover the entire estimated cost of running the giveaway. In addition, you will need to provide any written content or images that participants will see when entering your giveaway.
6. What items can I use for a giveaway prize?
There are tens of millions of eligible physical items shipped from and sold by Amazon.com or Fulfilled by Amazon. Kindle eBooks are also eligible. If you see a 'Set up an Amazon Giveaway' section near the bottom of the product detail page, the item is eligible. Items currently not eligible for giveaways include digital items such as songs, movies, or apps; Amazon.com Gift Cards; items sold and shipped by Marketplace sellers; certain items that require special handling; items in the Add-on program; used items; and items that are Prime exclusive. There are also price and total value restrictions explained in FAQ 7.
7. How many prizes can I have in my giveaway?
Each giveaway is for a single prize type up to a maximum quantity. There are two things that determine the maximum number of prizes in your giveaway. First, you can select up to the quantity available for purchase on Amazon.com, with a maximum of 30 physical prizes or 50 digital prizes. Price is the second factor in determining number of prizes. The total value (retail price) of all prizes, excluding tax and shipping, cannot exceed $5,000. There is no limit on the number of individual giveaways you can setup.
8. Who can participate in my giveaway?
Giveaways are only open to legal residents of the 50 U.S. or D.C., 18 or older. If the value of all prizes exceeds $500 then residents of Rhode Island cannot participate. If you or a participant shares the link on Twitter or any other public forum, anyone can discover your giveaway and participate. You can require participants to follow your Twitter account, follow an Author on Amazon, watch a brief video on either Amazon or YouTube, or take some other action to enter.
9. Can I include links to websites in my giveaway messages?
Yes, you can include links in the welcome, win, and lose messages. Links to any Amazon-related website are clickable by participants, opening in a new tab. This includes amazon.com, goodreads.com, audible.com, imdb.com, zappos.com, twitch.com, diapers.com, along with facebook.com, twitter.com, youtube.com (and youtu.be), and Instagram.com. It also includes short links to amzn.to for amazon.com, which you can create using Bitly. Links to other websites will not be clickable.
10. How should I advertise or promote my giveaway?
You can advertise your giveaway how and where you see fit, which may include: in social media or email, on a blog or website, as a QR code on a poster, or in a text message. Regardless of how you advertise, note that being clear with consumers about their "chance" to win is important when advertising a sweepstakes, so say something like "Enter for a chance to win" and avoid "Enter to win". Also, be advised that many states require that any advertising of a sweepstakes be accompanied by an abbreviated version of the official rules and provide a link to or copy of the official rules. An example of this is including the following in any advertising of your giveaway: "NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Ends the earlier of 2/10/15 11:59PM, or when all prizes are claimed. See Official Rules." The official rules for Amazon Giveaway can be found at https://giveaway.amazon.com/rules or a shortened link at https://amzn.to/GArules.
11. Are there any significant tax rules I should be aware of?
If you select higher value prizes, winners may be required to verify their Tax ID (Social Security Number) before receiving their prize. This allows Amazon to fulfill necessary tax reporting obligations, and serves as an additional form of verification. If a winner does not supply valid tax information, the prize is not awarded to that person and is either returned to the prize pool or returned and refunded if the giveaway has ended.
12. How are shipping costs determined for physical prizes and do FREE Shipping or Prime FREE Two-Day Shipping benefits apply?
Hosts pay the lowest cost shipping on each prize awarded and the final cost is determined by winners' shipping addresses. FREE Shipping does apply if each individual prize item is eligible. Neither hosts' nor winners' Prime FREE Two-Day Shipping benefits apply to giveaway prizes.
13. Can participants enter more than once? How do I know that is enforced?
No, we enforce one entry per Amazon.com account in all cases, and one per Twitter account in cases that include the Twitter follow or Tweet requirement. At times, we may ask participants to verify other data like their mobile phone number before entering to verify their identity. We know you expect your giveaways to be fair and have designed Amazon Giveaway with that in mind. We also run our own giveaways using the same service available to you.
14. Can I change my giveaway details, edit the content, or cancel the giveaway after purchasing it?
Currently do we do not support editing a giveaway after it is created. Please review all content closely before you proceed to checkout. If you find a mistake or change your mind, you can cancel your giveaway from Your Giveaways if you have no participants at that time. Once we register the first participant other than the host's account, the giveaway will proceed according to the terms outlined.
15. Is my giveaway prize purchase eligible for AmazonSmile?
Yes, your purchase is eligible if you start at smile.amazon.com and then select and purchase a prize that displays "Eligible for AmazonSmile donation" on the product detail page. Learn more about AmazonSmile.
16. What is the public setting?
Choosing this setting allows Amazon to potentially make your giveaway discoverable to other Amazon customers. You will determine this setting for each individual giveaway. You can't change this setting once the giveaway is created.
17. Why should I make my giveaway public?
If you are interested in extending the reach of your giveaway and would like to introduce your brand or product to other Amazon customers, this is a great way to do it.
18. What makes a giveaway eligible to be made public?
An eligible item must be selected as the prize. At this time we do not support adult items, used items, refurbished items, and items in closed categories.

Our purpose is to work against racism and other forms of institutional oppression.
Guiding Principles
All forms of oppression are connected and it is not useful to create a "hierarchy" of oppression.
Structural racism routinely advantages white people in all sectors of society including: educational and cultural practices, institutional policies, historical events and interpersonal dynamics.
Structural racism is supported by individual actions. It is impossible to remove ourselves from the racist system and be "nonracist;" we either actively participate in, passively accept, or actively oppose racism.
Our focus is on achieving racial equity, addressing the dynamics of internalized oppression, and working toward a just environment in which all groups have access and opportunity.
Because white members continue to receive daily benefits from racism, they need to take the lead in achieving equity.
The world view of members of color, including perspectives, experiences and analysis, is central to our understanding of both racism and equity.
White members take responsibility for educating themselves and other whites to understand their privilege.
Because of power dynamics, we believe in allowing for separate space for people of color (BACOE – Baltimore Activists of Color Organized for Equity) and white people (WARN – White-Antiracism Network).
We believe an understanding of the Black-White dynamics that began with enslavement of Afrikans, and the history of resistance by people of color and white people is essential to an analysis of current structural racism.
Our Goals
Because we recognize that whites and people of color have different connections to the impact of racism and the work of dismantling it, there are distinct goals for each group. BRJA also has specific goals in working with organizations.
For white people, our goals are:
- To provide awareness of and tools for combating white privilege.
- To form relationships that allow us to trust and effectively challenge one another.
- To create a community of people to guide each other in confronting racism and to support one another in bearing the risks of action.
- To identify strategies that allow us to be effective allies to individuals of color and organizations led by people of color.
For people of color, our goals are:
- To provide an opportunity to learn how to recognize and tap into our assets and work with our allies to thrive.
- To challenge racism, internalized oppression and associated destructive behavior.
- To deepen our understanding of the Afrikan world view and how it has protected us.
- To provide tools to develop and access political and economic power.
- To identify the strategies that will put those tools to effective use.
For businesses, non-profit organizations, government agencies, and religious and educational institutions, our goals are:
- To assess to what extent the policies and procedures are effective or not effective in promoting and establishing racial equity.
- To initiate and support the steps required for creating an organizational climate in which all participants can expect equity in their environment, opportunities and experience.
- To develop/deepen skills for individuals within the organization to start and continue conversations and actions about race.
- To ensure leadership's commitment to institutional changes for equity.
- To build the capacity of organizations to work toward achieving racial equity.

The Top 5 Exercises For Killer Abs
– Always warm up for a few minutes before doing these exercises.
– Do each exercise for 45 seconds.
– Rest 15 seconds before moving to the next exercise. (If you are a beginner you may rest longer)
– Repeat circuit 3 times for a total of 15 minutes.
-Listen to your body, and increase the frequency and intensity of interval training sessions gradually as the body adapts. Everyone's fitness level is different so it is important not to overdo it. Take rest days when needed.

Sit down in the crab position. The body weight is on the hands. Brace your abs and alternate your legs kicking in the air. Don't let your butt touch the ground.
Modify: Start with a lower speed and without jumping, slowly alternate lifting your legs in the air.
Start in a plank position. Jump your feet up towards the outside of your hands, coming into a squat and keeping your hands on the floor. Jump your feet back to return to plank and repeat. This exercise is the same as the normal froggers, the only difference is that you need to keep your heels wide apart. Try to keep the same distance between your heels the whole time.
3.Bicycle Crunches:
Lie flat on the floor with the lower back pressed into the ground. Place your hands slightly either side of your head, do not lock your fingers or pull the head up. Lift your knees to a 45 degree angle. Slowly go through a bicycle pedal motion with the legs. Alternately touching your elbows to the opposite knee twisting back and forth through the core, keep the elbows back rather than forward to the chest as this could strain the neck
4.Mountain Jumpers:
Place your hands on the ground and get into a push up position, make sure your arms are shoulder width apart. Alternate jumping each foot bringing your knee towards your chest. It doesn't matter which leg you start with.
Your arms must be positioned correctly and your elbows set directly under the shoulders for proper weight distribution. The spine remains straight (don't round out the spine). Tighten the core to benefit from the exercise. Keep your legs slightly spread without adding pressure to the hip area. Adjust the distance between your feet as you need it. Breathe slowly and deliberates so that your core is fully engaged and your body is relaxed.

The July 2 fight between UFC Bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz and challenger Urijah Faber was a back-and-forth battle that saw Cruz defend his title in a unanimous decision. The fight may have been a lot closer than it seems on paper, though.
Breakdown of each round is below.
Round 1 – The round goes mainly to Faber. Cruz's in-and-out style was expected and Faber scored several times when Cruz tried to attack, once getting a knockdown in the round. Two of Faber's takedowns were stuffed, but he seemed to engage with ease and avoid Cruz's speed. The game plan was working for Faber. Cruz did sneak in an uppercut timed perfectly and a straight right to Faber's face, but it was all he got.
Sacramento Sports Examiner: Faber wins Round 1
Round 2 – Cruz wins the round because he pushed the action. Faber was on the defensive all round, waiting for a moment to attack. That moment came with about a minute left in the round, and Faber actually knocked Cruz down with a flurry, but couldn't capitalize as Cruz bounced back up and 30 seconds later scored a takedown of Faber, then scored a left and right combo to Faber's face at the end of the round.
Sacramento Sports Examiner: Cruz wins Round 2
Round 3 – Two minutes in Cruz lands a solid combination, slipping a left hook past Faber's defenses before landing a straight right. Just under three minutes in, Faber gets his first takedown of the fight, trying to take Cruz's back. Seconds later, Cruz reverses the position and gets Faber in side control from the top. Faber escapes. Faber can't land anything the rest of the round while Cruz lands several punches that do no damage. Round goes to Cruz.
Sacramento Sports Examiner: Cruz wins Round 3
Round 4 – Cruz lands back-to-back right hooks 30 seconds into the round and keeps Faber backpedalling for a few seconds. A minute in, Faber lands a solid right hook which floors Cruz, but upon attacking, Cruz dives forward for a takedown on Faber, negating Faber's momentum. Cruz lands a right followed by a left kick to the body with 2:26 left in the round. Faber stuffs a solid takedown attempt by Cruz, twice going to his knee before swinging his way out of the hold. In the final minute, Faber lands several punches on his way out of attacks. Cruz lands a knee to Faber's face. Cruz goes for a takedown at the end of the round, but Faber escapes without going down. The round is pretty even, but should go to Faber for the knockdown, since effectiveness of strikes were about even between the two otherwise.
Sacramento Sports Examiner: Faber wins Round 4
Round 5 – Cruz lands a flying knee in the first 15 seconds, which eventually staggers Faber against the cage. Cruz attacks furiously, but Faber lands a right hook and escapes. Cruz lands a takedown a minute into the round, and Faber eventually escapes up the side of the cage. Later, Faber lands a right knee to the body, Cruz tries to take Faber down, but Faber reverses the takedown and ends up with a standing guillotine choke. Cruz escapes. Cruz lands another takedown later, but Faber escapes without damage. Cruz gets another takedown, and Faber escapes again. Cruz gets a third takedown, Faber gets up, and Cruz takes him down again. It's another close round, going to Cruz for the takedowns.
Sacramento Sports Examiner: Cruz wins Round 5
The actual judges' decision: 50-45, 49-46, 48-47. Cruz officially wins by Unanimous Decision. My scorecard had Cruz winning 48-47.
The fight may have avenged Cruz's loss to Faber 10 years ago, but what it did more so was leave more questions needing answers.
"This is a fight where we need expert judges; there's so much going on in this fight," said announcer Joe Rogan during the pay-per-view UFC 132 broadcast. "I don't care who wins this fight, I wanna see it again. These guys are so closely matched."
After the fight, Cruz was happy with the win, of course, but seemed surprised by Faber's performance.
"The dude hits hard, his hands were very fast," Cruz said of Faber. "They were prepared."
Faber was disappointed in the decision.
"I knew it was gonna be a tough fight," Faber said. "I thought I landed the heavier punches. I had him rocked a couple of times. But congratulations to Dominick. He won. It wasn't enough of an output on my side to make it a decision (for me). I didn't finish him."
"I felt like it could have gone either way," Faber added. "I felt like I won the fight, but again, you can't really judge when it comes to that."
Is a rematch looming? It should be. It is, after all, the rubber match.
"That'd be great," Faber said. "Let's do it."

text: Up until this point I have always worked solo. Today I completed a job that I could never have done in a reasonable amount of time by hiring 4 guys that all do day labor. Price billed 20 man hours at $25/hr- $200 paid in wages. It hit me like the proverbial ton of bricks " Why was I doing this all by myself all this time?" There have been many discussions on this forum about the pros and cons of this. My .02, is that you can never make money in this business by doing work that you can have done for $8.00/hr. Sounds simple? Then why do we all do those terrible jobs when we can have it done.

Houston, Texas (PressExposure) March 22, 2012 -- Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a breathing disorder that occurs during sleep. Obstructive Sleep Apnea can cause a variety of life-threatening health problems including daytime sleepiness, narcolepsy, impaired memory and concentration, high blood pressure, heart attacks, and strokes. Dr. Jason Hall, the plastic surgeon at Houston Plastic and Craniofacial Surgery Center (HPCS) offers obstructive sleep apnea treatment. The surgeon is trained in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders.
When a person is suspected to have the disorder, the physician will conduct polysomnogram (or "sleep study") to determine the severity of the disease. For most patients with OSA, a nasal CPAP machine will be the first step in treatment. Sometimes, surgical treatment may be necessary for patients suffering from OSA. Established indications for surgical correction of OSA are moderate-severe OS, severe daytime sleepiness (despite a low AHI), OSA with co-morbid medical conditions (such as heart arrhythmias and high blood pressure), OSA with anatomic airway abnormalities, and failure of non-surgical therapy.
The procedures offered to reduce airflow resistance and open the airways include:
Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP)
Genioglossus advancement
Hyoid myotomy
Distraction osteogenesis
HPCS has advanced resources and technology, and all facilities required for providing state-of-the-art treatment and care. The surgeons here aim to provide the best possible care to all patients with current advancements in plastic surgery.

Unfortunately, this happens off of the forum as much as on...
i have been collecting naturally faded insert and would pay a premium for one that will match my watch (inckuding hands). i think there're a few sellers who would age the inserts and sell them for a premium. if i were a buyer, i would need to know if the part i was to buy is a doctorered one or original vintage part.
perhaps we can ask all of the sellers to clearly state if the inserts have bern chemically altered?

A big move?
Over the past couple days, Peter and I have been talking very seriously about moving. When we bought and moved into our current home in 2008, I never thought we would ever move again. I wanted to be a one house girl. Seriously, moving is such a pain in the butt!! However, we are now thinking about our future and that we might need some more space when we start having kids.
Our house is about 975 square feet on the main level and it is perfect for the two of us right now. We have our master bedroom that houses our very large kingsize bed. Then we each have our own room where our computers and personal possessions are kept. There is a decent sized living room and kitchen and our little bathroom is great. The basement is currently rented out by a young couple and so it is off limits to us. That's okay. It brings in some extra money and we can't say no to that! However, due to our limited space, we have storage in every nook and cranny of our top floor. Things are perched precariously and messily and it's not very nice to look at or entertain in. If we had a child, it is 100% NOT childproof and trying to find a place for everything would be a nightmare. Hence, the idea of upsizing to a bigger house.
At first I was opposed to the idea of moving, but it is just making more and more sense to me now. We have been looking at realtor's listings all day and will go to see a few this coming week. I have to say it will be nice to get away from all this construction around our current house right now. We used to have beautiful green-space behind our house, which was one of the selling points for us. Now it has been demolished and it currently a giant mess of construction. I HATE IT so much. Our house vibrates from the pounding and digging. It's hard to sleep in past 7AM because they are out there at the crack of dawn drilling and nailing and messing around. Plus, they are constantly blocking off the alley and access to our parking pad with their large machines. I know construction is just a part of life, but it's almost unbearable. I would have been okay if we had been notified of this new addition, but it just started one day a couple years ago and hasn't stopped since. They are supposedly rebuilding a senior home (which is currently located across the green-space) or something along those lines. I really have no idea. See before and after pictures below and please ignore the sorry state of our fence 🙁 :
Although, we will still find a place in south Calgary, I will be sad to move away from this area. It is SO close to shopping that has every store I could ever need within a few KMs. Plus, it is a hop, skip and a jump away from Fish Creek Park. As a runner, I love being able to go down into the park whenever I want while starting and finishing from my house. It's very convenient. We will try our best to find a close location to Fish Creek, but it may not be in the cards.
We are looking for a house with at least 3 bedrooms upstairs (and at least 1 downstairs) and most importantly, A GARAGE! Never again will I live in a house without a garage. In fact, before we started talking about buying a new home, we were planning on building a garage in June. However, if we are moving, we won't be building one.
The current plan is not to sell this house, but to rent it out when we leave it. That way we will still be pulling in a bit of rental income and we'll own two houses. The hope is that we will be approved for a second mortgage. That may be the hardest part of everything. Well, we will come to that hurdle when it comes. We need to find a new house that we both like to start off with! We should be quite busy in the upcoming weeks!

moving is the worst. i told my husband after we moved into this house that we are never moving again!
however, we're getting the itch to move again.
hope you find something you like!

Ah wow, that green field looks nice! It's a shame that construction has taken its place. Construction noises are terrible too, especially early in the morning.
Moving is definitely a pain though, and I'm hoping I won't have to do it for a while. Hopefully you'll find a nice big house and can stay there for a long time 🙂 Having a garage is a must for me too! There's actually hail storms here once in a while, and the garage has saved my car several times now!
Good luck with everything!
Karin — April 10, 2014 @ 2:40 am
Wow, they really ruined your view, didn't they..?
I understand you want a garage. We didn't have one until we moved into our current house, and now I can't believe we ever lived without. It's just so practical!
I'm one of the few people I know who actually like moving, so I don't feel your pain at all, haha! 😉
Good luck house hunting, I hope you'll find something suitable.
