City of Houston Mayor Annise Parker has announced a new "Open Data Policy" that will allow citizens easier access to city datasets and records. The new policy, enacted by an administrative procedure by Mayor Parker, would set up a process to determine what data should be freely available to the public and how to keep the data up-to-date. In cities across the country, open data policies have led to innovative apps and programs created by tech developers that help inform citizens about local issues or trends. More on the new policy from the Houston Chronicle:
The new policy calls for an advisory board to be formed within 30 days and to have open data standards drafted within 90 days, guiding all city departments in complying with the directive. The task force, [City of Houston Finance Director Kelly] Dowe said, will start by identifying the information citizens are most interested in and how best to unleash it.
"We've been very reactive to what City Council has put out there to try and curate the right projects and build the right apps that can be useful," [Jeff Reichman of consulting firm January Advisors] said. "When we can strategically release popular datasets and put it in the hands of citizens, great things can happen. It gives highly engaged citizens a direct channel to talk to the city and say, 'I want to see X,' and be able to do something with that data."
"When you look at what other cities have seen who do have fresh, open data - not like some of ours where you go out and it's 2013 data - it's exciting what they get," Dowe said. "Why sit there and make people ask if we've already established that it's the citizens' right to have it and you're already spending time and money and effort putting it out there or reassembling it every time somebody asks you for it? Why not just build a quick program that pushes it out on the portal?"

April is my month for the One Block Over Bee. Because this is my first bee, I had grand visions of really impressing my bee mates with a super-unique and challenging block, mostly so that they'd be{e} impressed with me. Goofy and shallow, I know. But, hey...at least I'm honest about my attention seeking.
This block is for my daughter, Bugs. Bugs is 13 and she's smack-dab in the middle of seventh-grade girl drama, boy crushes and power struggles with her super-star older brothers. She's truly one of the most talented singers I know - she doesn't just sing...she can sang. Her goals in life right now are:
She's an incredible writer, she loves fashion and she can make a mean after-school bowl of Ramen.

Keil Beach, Argyll (top) and Red Poppies, both by Mike Healy, whose solo show at Thompson's Gallery in London ends this Sunday.
I love picking up on the little threads which bind the art world together.
A couple of weeks ago, my artist friend Charlie Jamieson called me to say he'd just met an old friend, Mike Healy at the funeral 'tea' in Glasgow Art Club for the celebrated artist James (Jimmy) Robertson, who sadly died recently and about whom I wrote at the time.
(If ever there was an event that Jimmy would have loved, it was this one. A gathering of the great and the good of Scottish art at his favourite haunt would have ticked all the right boxes for him. He even had his own chair by the fire!)
Coincidentally, I had just received the catalogue for Mike Healy's forthcoming solo show at Thompsons Gallery in London that day. Mike attended Glasgow School of Art (at the same time as Charlie, I think) and taught beside Jimmy Robertson for a good few years before heading off to divide his time between working in his studio in Kintyre and teaching at Lincoln University, where he 'holds a personal professorial chair in art and design.
Charlie knows about my interest in Joan Eardley - and he was excited because Mike Healy had just told him that he'd been finding out about Joan Eardley's time in Lincoln through a local historian. Eardley lived there briefly as a child and returned after the war to work on a commission for a mural for a short period.
Mike and I have been emailing back and forth about it and hopefully I'll be able find out more in good time.
I enjoyed flicking through his catalogue and though I like his landscapes, which are beautifully loose with real depth and colour, I absolutely loved his still lives which are so juicy, they burst off the page. Perhaps it was the dose of vital colour which I needed in the midst of gloomy January.
Mike's solo exhibition at Thompson's Gallery in Marylebone High Street (the last before it moves to Cavendish Street, I believe) ends this Sunday.
Click onto www.thompsonsgallery.com to see more.
In another of these little twists of the warp and weft of life, Jimmy Robertson has written an affectionate and insightful foreword in Mike's catalogue, which I reproduce here:
Mike has travelled widely, yet his painting is still informed by returning to the unspoilt West Coast of Scotland, to evocative places in Argyllshire and the wild unspoilt sea coasts of Mull, Iona, Kintyre and Jura. These places continue to astonish him in different ways. He enjoys contrasts, such as those found on the gentle Isle of Colonsay with the big landscapes of Ardnamurchan.
Landscape painting is not about scenery. It is not a "view". It is what the artist does with that view that is essential. It is not just the sky, or the sea or the horizon that is important but it is the selection and technique of painting these
various elements that brings this to our notice that is important. Painting has always been more about poetry than prose.
The best of it is about being lyrical and evocative rather than painstakingly representative. This show of new works by Mike is about this careful and sensitive approach.
Mike invites you to share in his experience. The joy of connection between the artist and the audience is similar to appreciating a shared passage of music. In Mike's painting the light of a winter day, the warmth of a summer evening,
the simple pleasure of a beach, the edge of time between the land and the sea or the flash of light on the sea all bring to us this shared pleasure.
Yet, paradoxically, most of what an artist paints nobody ever sees. It may simply not work, be edited out, over painted or destroyed. This lengthy research process sometimes, often miraculously, does come together and work. These then are the works that work and the ones that have survived this rigorous approach.

Given how easy it is to get to (a 3-hour plus flight from NYC to Cancun and then a quick 30-minute taxi ride from the airport), I was surprised at how totally magical and lush Maroma is. I tend to associate those aaaah escapes with multiple flights and frenetic travel experiences, but getting to this lovely stretch of beach could not be easier. Set under a lush canopy of blossoming plants and trees teaming with monkeys and exotic birds, Maroma was originally created as a dream home for architect José Luis Moreno. The main house still stands, with the original bedrooms are now guest rooms giving the hotel a much more intimate feel than the many mega resorts that line Mexico's coast. The property was transformed into a resort by Orient-Express Hotels in 1995 and the white stucco two-story rooms all echo the original architecture. It was one of the first luxury resorts on this stretch of the Riveria Maya. I recently reported on Maroma for Aerin Lauder's World of Aerin site, here's my take and my pics below.
Coolest room: 23 is up the stairs in the main house on the second floor with a sweeping view and balcony. The room is small, but absolutely perfect. While I hate the word romantic when used to describe hotel rooms, because it usually connotes a cheese factor, this room is romantic in the best sense of the word. If you want privacy and quiet, the rooms on the far left side of the property are the ones to book.
The property: The hotel is set where the jungle meets the beach and you are under a canopy of trees as you walk around the property. Walking around at night is an experience –tons of monkeys swinging through the trees and chattering with each other. It rained the night I was there, but normally the walkways are lined with torches and the pools have floating candles.
The architecture: The 63 rooms are set across 25 acres. There are three pools, but it's really 's all about the beach here (along with the spa which is beyond incredible and reason alone to go).
The beach: The beach itself it endless, and Maroma offers countless places to lounge the day away–palapas, beach beds, beach chairs and hammocks in front of every room.
While the hotel feels totally serene and removed from the real world, there are two large resorts to the right reminding you that you are not. This is the view at the far right end of the Maroma property looking at the resort…
Down at the other end of the beach, this is the scene in front of the larger resorts–a TOTALLY different vibe!
The view: Amazing

Albert Speer
Balance Number 2
Albert Speer was a German architect who was Adolf Hitler's chief architect, the Minister of Armaments and War Production for Nazi Germany, and the only Nazi who said sorry and accepted moral responsibility at the Nuremberg trials.
He was born on Sunday March 19th 1905, in Mannheim, Baden, Germany.
Albert Speer should use tact and diplomacy, and be less emotional. He needs to be courageous in his approach to the solution he seeks, rather than backing away from problem because he fears confrontation.
Albert has to work hard to diffuse tension; his innate talent is to find a mutually satisfying solution to all, and he himself is willing to compromise.
Speer needs to be more optimistic and lighthearted, and he should try not to blow problems out of proportion. Albert Speer is overly sensitive and has to work to be more balanced.
Balance and harmony are there for Albert the minute he applies himself to any problem. Speer can be the peacemaker.
You and Albert
About Albert's Balance number
Maturity and self-development help us to learn new and more effective methods of handling our world and the problems we confront, and Albert Speer's Balance number provides him with the guidance on how best to deal with difficult or threatening situations.

Tuition and health benefits are pretty solid.
Various company outings.
Working for IITRI was like working in the twilight zone. You really never knew what was expected of you because you were never really trained appropriately. This is mostly to do with the chaotic environment that IITRI has. Everything is pretty archaic and there is not a real solid LIMs system in place to assist the employees. IITRI really needs to train their employees properly and have management that insures their employees are well aware as to what's expected of them. No one should have to guess on whether or not what they did was right or wrong. That is why systems are in place so that people are aware of the standard.
Advice to Management
Management has to have a universal standard that all employees are aware of. There were too many different rules for different divisions or even rules that were different inside on division. The training regiment is poor and needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Management also needs to make sure managers have social skills. My division manager lacked the proper etiquette when addressing his employees which made for some really awkward demoralizing moments.

Good experience to learn new techniques during times when the company has a lot of contracted projects to work on. Tuition benefits at the school.
Management is rarely present. Leaves management/training/scheduling to senior lab technicians. Senior lab technicians were not qualified to fulfill role of management, lacked proper skills and etiquette. When the company has a slow period, senior lab technicians, fearing for their own jobs do not help and properly train junior technicians so that if lay-offs occur, senior technician keep their own jobs.
Harassment in the workplace was ignored by HR when brought up in a complaint.
Also poor pay.
Advice to Management
Management needs to be actually present in the offices and labs so that they see whats going on underneath them.

Friendly environment, really laid back. Benefits are good compared to other places especially, time off policy
Really bad management. Company could be doing a lot better financially wise if it wasn't for the mismanagement. Salaries are at least 15% to 20% lower compare to the private sector. Since the company is a non-profit organization and most of the work is government contracts, there is a lot of fluctuation in the amount of work. Not a very stable company to work with.
Advice to Management
There really is a lack of leadership and poor management at IITRI.

When banks and governments talk of debt, they use some basic numbers and ratios. Do you know what yours are? Understanding these numbers can give you true insight to your financial situation, determine if you're carrying too much debt and help you understand how the bank views you when you're applying for a loan or a mortgage.
What Is Your Debt-To-Income Ratio?
This is a number you see often in the media as Statistics Canada releases the average Canadian number every quarter. The last release found that we're at 150.6 per cent.
The ratio compares, quite simply, how much money you make compared to how much you owe.
To find out your own, add up all the money you owe, from credit card debt to your mortgage and then calculate what per cent that is of the after-tax money you make in a year.
So if your household owes $200,000 in total and you and your spouse bring in $100,000 as a team, your ratio is 200 per cent.
Sounds horrible! But there's a lot of criticism of this number as it makes people in certain stages of life look terrible (like young families with large mortgages) and others overly good (such as those about to retire who have little debt but need a lot of savings).
Understanding Your Front-End Ratio
This number is all about home ownership and is used by the bank when deciding whether you qualify for a mortgage. Simply put, this is determined by looking at how much of your income is going towards making mortgage payments. This percentage-based number is your monthly housing expense divided by your monthly gross income.
So, if you spend $2,000 a month on your mortgage and associated costs and you make $100,000 a year, your ratio is 24 per cent.
The benchmarks vary, but ideally you should not go beyond 28 per cent for this number. In this case, you multiply your annual income by 0.28 and divide the answer by 12. If your household brings in that $100,000, your bank will probably say you can afford a maximum monthly housing expense of $2,333.
Know Your Back-End Ratio
This number is another favourite for approving mortgages as it takes into account the cost of servicing all your debts, including your mortgage and its associated costs, as well as credit card debt, other loans and the like. So, to figure this out, you take your monthly income ($8,333, for instance) and divide it by the cost of servicing all your debts each month. If you're putting out $3,000 a month for mortgages and other debts, you'll hit 36 per cent for your back-end ratio.
The magic number for this ratio is usually 36 per cent. So if you make that $100,000 a year, you multiply your monthly income by 0.36 it means the bank will think you can afford to cope with $2,999 in debt servicing a month.
Take Charge!
So, do the math and see how things look in your world. If your ratios are troubling, look for ways you can trim your debts, such as:
- Pay down your credit card debt as quickly as possible. Same goes for lines of credit.
- Switch to a lower interest credit card (so you can get rid of said debt.) The MBNA TrueLine MasterCard, for instance, charges just 9.99 per cent on all purchases. This means interest will not accumulate so fast and you can get rid of your balance. Another great way to chisel away credit card debt is to take advantage of a low balance transfer rate. The MBNA Platinum Plus MasterCard offers a zero per cent balance transfer (it goes up to 19.99 per cent) after that, and a 17.99 per cent interest rate.
- If you're about to buy a first home, save as much as you can for your down payment so your mortgage will be smaller.
- If you're already in a home, make double-up or anniversary payments to reduce how much you owe — that will impact your ratios.
These challenging math problems may mean a lot to your ability to get a mortgage or a loan some day. They seem daunting but they're an important ways lenders make sure you're not pushing yourself too far. The goal is to borrow money to improve your life, not put you at risk.

Millionaire material? What do millionaires have in common?
Millionaire material? What do millionaires have in common?
Have you ever wondered what it is that marks out a millionaire from everyone else?
Exactly what is it that millionaires have in common?
In writing my new book, Mindset. Money. Millionaire. I have been digging into the research to find out the common traits of millionaires. A lot is written out there about what makes someone millionaire material. I am a millionaire and from my own experience as well as research and observation of people around me, I can say that the traits below are key and common amongst highly successful people.
Risk taking and an entrepreneurial spirit
If you are a business owner, you may remember in those first weeks and months the reaction from friends and family when you told them you were going it alone. How many of them said 'it's too risky?'. Plenty I would imagine. Well, one of the key differences between those who are millionaire material and those who aren't, is that millionaires believe that it is far riskier to work for someone else than it is to work for themselves.
Are you ready to take the next step towards living the life of your dreams? Visit www.PaysDaily.com to find out more.
Relentless drive
Millionaires feel constricted and constrained by working for someone else. Their energy and life force, their creativity and reason for being is depleted by following orders and being told what to do by someone else. They need to be able to express themselves, to explore their ideas and have the time and freedom to do things in their own way.
Their drive doesn't come from an external source, they don't need to be managed or motivated, they have all of those things inside them already. In abundance. In fact, it would take effort NOT to work!
Take MASSIVE action: visit www.PaysDaily.com and find out how you can quit the rat race and work for yourself.
Millionaire material? What do millionaires have in common?
Big, huge dreams and visions
People with a millionaire mindset, or those who are millionaire material like to think big. They want to solve the big problems in life, they want to make the world a better place for as many people as possible. They feel entitled to success and don't put up barriers to it.
They truly believe that their dreams will come true, even if this means taking greater and greater risks.
Feeling inspired? MyAdvertisingPays (MAP) has already created seven millionaires, of which I am one. Could you be next. Visit www.PaysDaily.com.
Planning and delayed gratification
I often say that poor people plan for Saturday night whereas millionaires plan for the next 10 years.
By being self-disciplined, millionaires are able to delay gratification in the short term – they're able to keep their long-term goals of becoming financially independent and successful.
MyAdvertisingPays (MAP) is not a get rich quick scheme. It is a business that you need to commit to and work hard at just like any other. If you are ready for hard work and MASSIVE rewards, click here.
Delaying gratification means many things: not spending frivolously unless they can afford to do so, not getting into debt, and sacrificing fun and social time in pursuit of goals.
Millionaires are all full time hustlers!
Sales and marketing comes naturally to me, it's in my blood. When I am out in the evening, I talk to people about MyAdvertisingPays (MAP). I'm not being pushy, I am just doing what comes naturally to me and sharing my success with people in the hope that it inspires them to do the same.
I'm part of a business that pays me every 20 minutes, 72 times per day. Why wouldn't I want to share it?

What do you think are the characteristics of millionaires? What do the millionaires you know have in common?

This weekend, I met Grace's friend Julie for the very first time. We went shopping.
This is what happened. I only wish I were, in any way, embellishing the events I'm about to lay out for you. Spiderman and his colorful commentary lends a hand today to make me feel not so much like a huge asshole, because in my head, Spiderman is a bigger dick than me.
Overwhelmed by the sheer number and quality of the sales this weekend, the three of us found ourselves shouting, "DEALS, MOTHERFUCKER," at every turn.
"It's $10 off today!"
"6 for $20!"
"Buy 1 get 63 free!"
"If you can funky chicken for 60 seconds, you can have whatever you can carry!"
2. The Inception of Muff-Con
Grace: "There needs to be different grades of Muffin-Top. Like, that woman's is a Grade 4."
Me: "Like the Weather Channel's Tor-Con system? Muff-Con 5?"
Grace: "I can't take you anywhere."
3. Fishlips VS Cameltoe
Julie: "How does a female to male sex change work?"
Grace: "It's my understanding that there is some labia stretching that occurs."
Me: "Do you call that fishlips? Is that the opposite of cameltoe?"
Julie: "Fishlips can be cameltoe, but cameltoe is not always fishlips."
Grace: "More importantly, if you worked up enough speed or had a stiff breeze, could you get 'em clapping?"
4. Fisting
Julie: "The physics of fisting are simply baffling to me. I mean, I would like one person who's into fisting to accurately describe in what way that's even kind of pleasurable."
Several minutes pass.
Me: (staring at my hand) "You know, it's not your fingers that would be the problem–those fold up. But your knuckles–that's the real problem."
Julie: "I'm…not sure what your hand represents here. Is your hand a dick? Or a vagina?"
Me: (Now terrified that I have not heard her correctly, and then have brought up fisting in a formerly innocuous conversation.) "My hand represents a hand."
5. Stranger Danger
Me: "Julie, look at this dress. It's fucked up right?"
Julie: "Yeah. You look like you're knocked up."
Me: "That's what I thought."
A GODDAMN STRANGER: "You don't have it all tied up right. Come over here."
Julie: Fucking disappears.
A GODDAMN STRANGER: "I said come over here. I'll tie it up for you."
Me: "Um, okay." (I prepare to be brutally murdered)
A GODDAMN STRANGER: "See, that's so much better."
Me: "I…um. Grace? What do you think?"
Grace: "You look like someone roped a circus tent around you."
A GODDAMN STRANGER: "I think it looks nice."
6. My Cornea!
Grace: "This dress is stuck. Help me."
Me: (Yanks the dress down)
Grace: "THE TAG IS CAUGHT ON MY EYEBALL. GETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFF."
Let me just remind you, that this was the first time I ever met Julie, and Julie, I sincerely apologize for all the terrible things I said. I cannot be taken anywhere.
When was the last time someone said to you, "I can't take you anywhere?"

FLV Spider Pro is a simple tool for saving online videos to your Mac or iPod.
It features a very simple interface with an additional Lossless Movie Trimmer that allows you to cut portions of captured video. Finally, a Lossless Movie Joiner allows you to join captured video and audio files into one whole movie. Although they're fairly easy to use, there's a Help manual to guide you.
FLV Spider Pro is ideal for sites such as YouTube and other video content delivery sites that stream videos. It isn't, however, suitable for media that's streamed live. Also note that FLV Spider Pro may also be affected by updates to Flash. It does support batch downloading although some users have found that it doesn't always handle this very well.
FLV Spider Pro is definitely worth a try if you're looking for an all-in-one video downloader and editor for Macs.
- Live RTMP/RTMPT streams conversion into FLV format is added (beta state)
- "Duplicate" function is added. It is helpful when you edit FLV files
- "Clear Browser Cache" function is added
- "FLV to iPod" converter is updated. Audio quality is improved
- FLV metadata saving and updating is improved
- Frame type indicators are added to Lossless Video Trimmer
- Few minor user interface changes are in place

Experts in the Third Sector and Not-for-Profit organisations

Limited resources, pressure to see ROI, over-spending, a cluttered marketplace…sound familiar? Charity and not-for-profit marketing is certainly a challenge, and in today's fragmented, multi channel landscape, you need to be able to trust a tried and tested agency to deliver results.

Digital first
Your website is your shop window, and with around 160,000 registered charities in England and Wales, it's imperative yours stands out from the crowd.

Total fast-charging stations for EVs are set to reach 199,000 locations globally in 2020, up from just 1,800 in 2012. The number of these stations, meanwhile, is anticipated to rise more than threefold in 2013 to 5,900 and then nearly triple to 15,200 in 2014. Overall growth will continue at a rapid pace through 2020.
Hard charging
"The length of time it takes to recharge an EV continues to be one of the major stumbling blocks inhibiting the widespread adoption of electric vehicles," said Alastair Hayfield, associate research director at IHS Automotive. "Compared to the time it takes to refuel an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle, the recharge time for EVs is incredibly slow—at about four hours to charge a 24 kilowatt-hour (kWh)-capacity battery using a 6.6 kW on-board charger. If EV auto manufacturers could overcome this obstacle, it could lead to a high rate of adoption from environmentally minded consumers as well as those seeking to cut gasoline expenses. That's where fast charging comes in."
Hooked up to a fast-charging system, which offers a high-voltage DC charge instead of a slower AC charge, a vehicle can be fully charged in as little as 20 minutes. This could be a major step toward EVs becoming generally equivalent to ICE vehicles when it comes to refuelling.
"IHS believes fast charging is a necessary step to promote higher adoption of EVs, but there will need to also be better consumer education regarding behavioural changes that may need to happen when owning an electric vehicle—such as charging overnight or at work," Hayfield said.
Japanese standard charges ahead
One fast-charging standard designed for electric vehicles is dubbed CHAdeMO, a primarily Japanese-backed technology. The major proponents of the technology are Japanese automotive OEMs—including Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi; and Japanese industrial giants—including Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., Tokyo Electric Power Co. and more.
CHAdeMO, roughly translated as "charge for moving," began deployment in 2009 in

Not in a Job Search? Start Using JibberJobber Now…August 16th, 2017
Most people who read my blog and use JibberJobber are job seekers.
I say most… but there are a few who are not in a job search.
I have users who are "happily employed." They are doing a great job, they are competent, they make good money, and like what they do.
Why would they use JibberJobber? Because they know how easy it is for things to change.
You know what's amazing? The tens of thousands of people at Enron who one day had a great job, the next day they were locked out of their building and their entire retirement fund was dried up.
Can you imagine being forty and having to start preparing for retirement from the beginning?
Can you imagine being 64, months away from a great retirement, and then learning that NO, there is no money? WHAT DO YOU DO??
Oh, but Enron is an example that is too dramatic, right? That just doesn't happen to everyone, or many people, right?
I have a phrase I use in my presentations to job clubs: "getting Enroned." It means you are doing your job, either well or extremely well, and all of the sudden, due to no fault of your own, you have no job (and none of the promises, like retirement). It goes away overnight.
Focus on this: through now fault of your own.
That could mean:
- You loved your old boss, but you got a new one and you are like oil and water. There's no way that you will both be employed for much longer.
- You are part of the back office and the sales team just announced they lost their biggest contract, and sales will be down by millions.
- The investors of the company you work for just pulled some funding off the table, and have demanded that the execs start trimming fat and cutting costs.
- You were recreating on your own time and got poked in the eye with a branch, and now you have recurring medical conditions that have a serious impact on your performance. It was an accident, but you can't do your job, so you are gone.
- You love your job but one day go to the office and can't get in. Turns out your boss was doing illegal stuff and not only is the company (including you) under investigation, the boss is IN JAIL.
- You have done an excellent job and your company is getting acquired. The only problem is, the acquiring company already has someone who does your job, and they aren't about to get let go. You are out.
- Someone accuses you of something inappropriate and for some reason the investigation isn't thorough, and before you know it you are on the street wondering what just happened.
- The boss's boss's boss's admin doesn't like you… and you are done.
I've heard of all of these, and more. In general, these are not "with cause" reasons to lose your job, but the result is the same: you are out of a job!
It's kind of like being in an accident… even if it wasn't your fault, and even if the insurance money comes your way, or you can sue for damages, you still lost something. It's just rotten all around.
Losing your job, for whatever reason, can be unsettling. Sometimes it's unfair, many times it sucks, and of course, sometimes it is a blessing in disguise. But you are still left jobless.
This is why some people who use JibberJobber are happily employed. Because they know that something might happen, and they want to be as prepared as they can.
What does that mean? How do they use JibberJobber?
Perhaps they are adding contacts, new and old, to their system. It's a lot more fun to start a job search (and network) when you have a list of names than to be freshly laid-off, staring at a blank piece of paper trying to come up with your network.
Perhaps they are logging conversations, or important information (like birthdays or contact info or who we met info). A name becomes a relationship once you start adding this additional information about your contacts. This is real, meaty stuff you can use to take the relationship to the next level.
Perhaps they are tracking companies they might be interested in working at. They might have customers or vendors or partners they work with, and have a company record and relevant contacts listed… what an awesome bit of intelligence they'll have when it's time to start networking into companies!
Perhaps they are using it as a networking and follow-up tool, because networking is not just for job seekers! JibberJobber allows you to log and track conversations, emails, etc., and set up reminders to remind you to follow-up. Networking without follow-up is like eating without food!
Should you use JibberJobber? YEP! Start networking now… when you are in transition, you'll be very grateful!

Review | Superdrug 50th Birthday Products
5 comments:
Max Factor False Lash is my all time favourite mascara and now I love it even more just because of the cute polka dots! xReplyDelete
That's good to know! I hope I like it too! XDelete
Excited about this! We obviously don't have Superdrug in Italy, but I'll be flying tomorrow to London and being there for a few days I'll certainly hop and raid at least one Superdrug store :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Ooo have fun! I hope you enjoy London! Be sure to check out Boots and Selfridges too! XDelete
Have you tried to sorbet face masks yet? I haven't gotten anything from Superdrug in ages as the Boots is a bit closer to me where I live. The packaging looks divine though, I do admit I'm like a little magpie when it comes to pretty packaging.ReplyDelete
Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment, I read every single one of them and reply as often as I can.
If you have a question and want a quick answer please send me a tweet @kimberleyj77 and I will reply asap!

Owari picked up to some extent this week, with this episode at least having some nice reflections on Araragi's journey so far. It's not like we really need more reflections on Araragi's journey so far, but if they're illustrated in the way they were in this episode, where a couple offhand lines are just totally loaded with subtext, I can accept that. Araragi and Yotsugi interacted pretty much like Araragi and Yotsugi always do, and Gaen got to steal the show with a couple infinitely smug lines to Araragi. And we finally arrived at Shinobu near the end, which is definitely a good sign. If you're going to have an Araragi arc, adding Shinobu to the mix is one of the best ways to make it interesting – their relationship is funny and endearing and legitimately tragic, and the two of them make each other more compelling by their presence. Here's hoping the arc's second half makes the most of that.
You can check out my full review over at ANN, or my notes below!
Yotsugi was at the cram school for a different job, apparently
Yotsugi's also been chasing something
"Can I drop this particular case?" Araragi wants nothing to do with this. He's already lost Mayoi, he doesn't want to lose Shinobu
Araragi realizes he used Kanbaru frivolously in his attempts to help Mayoi. He no longer wants to get her involved in Gaen's business
Yotsugi rightly points out that Kanbaru's already involved, since apparitions tend to cling to those who've already associated with them
And then Yotsugi steps on him and says he can't reset the past
Man, this episode sure is a bounty for anyone interested in Yotsugi's feet
"It's my job to step on devil boy's face and also go on a fool's errand"
Nice scene between Araragi and Kanbaru here
Pretty much the first fanservicey episode of the season
The samurai seems to have set it up so that Araragi and Kanbaru would get lost if they didn't go straight home. They can't find Gaen
"If I say five things, one is sure to be correct. It's a dirty tactic adults use." But all five were correct. Gaen as Gaen as ever
Gaen tells him to get out of it on his own, or rely on Kanbaru. She seems to either be pushing Araragi or wanting Kanbaru to bloom into whatever talents her mother left her
"And that look on your face… I assume you need something from your slave." damnit Kanbaru
And they run into Shinobu
Shinobu obliquely references her assistance in Tsubasa Tiger
"Shinobu, you're the only one who's stomped on me with a bare foot!" goddamnit these two
And a new monster appears?

Too Faced Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar Palette Review and Swatches
Another great plus to the Chocolate bar palettes, and this goes for both of them, is that there is everything you need to create a whole eye look in each palette. You have lid shades, crease shades, outer V colours and highlight colours in both mattes and shimmery shades so there is something for everyone to like. The Semi Sweet palette is a truly beautiful palette, and I love using it, and will be using this for many months to come.
Well, that is my review and I hope you have enjoyed reading it. Have you got any of these palettes, please feel free to let me know what you think of them in the comments below. I hope you all have a wonderful day, and I will talk to you all again very soon.

January 2015 Empties
This Avon shampoo I bought a while ago, and it had just been sitting in my drawer not being used. It did leave my hair feeling very nice and clean, but I would not say it did anything out of the ordinary to my hair, so I probably would not repurchase this as there are other shampoos which I much prefer.
Now this next product was a total fail for me, and that is because I just could not get any product out of the botttle at all. It is a miniature shower gel from L'Occitane. I normally love L'Occitane products as they just feel so luxurious but this product just would not come out of the bottle no matter how hard I squeezed the bottle. I guess my hands are pretty weak from having arthritis in them, but even still!!!
I hope you have enjoyed this post, and look forward to reading your comments on how you are doing using up products in your collection.
Till next time,

January 2015 Favourites
For concealer, I have been going back to my oldie but a goodie, in the Maybelline Age eraser. This just goes on and on forever and is such an amazing price for a product that is good quality and lasts for years. I use it to cover my dark circles and then set it with a powder to make sure it doesnt crease, and it lasts all day. A really good product.
For me Maybelline are just an amazing brand and I love their products. Non beauty favourites this month have been drinking a nice green tea, I'm really enjoying them at the moment, especially the ones with lemon in, and reading my kindle. It has been so cold here lately, and so curling up in front of the fire, with my kindle and a cup of green tea has really helped me to feel warmer and cosy.
I hope you have enjoyed this post, and let me know in the comments what your favourites have been this month.
Love and Hugs

Wedding Day Beauty Ideas feat.Lover.ly
I think that when thinking about your makeup, it really needs to coordinate with your dress, so everything flows together and creates those gorgeous wedding day photos. If you have chosen a very simple style of gown then I feel that you could perhaps go a little more bold perhaps with your lipstick for instance, wearing a bright pink lipstick if you have chosen pink flowers for your bouquet, e,g Maybelline's Fuschia Flash lipstick.
This is a pinky red shade from Barry M called Watermelon and this colour would look great on either fingertips and especially on the toes, if you were wearing cute little peep toe shoes.
Your face does not want to be covered in heavy, cakey looking foundation, I think that a woman's skin on her wedding day should look verynatural, and so the perfect solution would be a BB Cream or a tinted moisturiser.
gorgeous dresses they have there. They literally have hundreds and hundreds and I am sure there will be something for everybody. They are truly amazing dresses.
Till next time,
*I have not been paid or sponsored to write this post, this is entirely my own opinions and work.

A Haul feat. Urban Decay, Laura Mercier, Dior, Bobbi Brown and Nars
Then I popped to the Laura Mercier counter as everyone raves about the Plumberry lip liner and I really wanted to add this to my lip liner collection.
I already own two other Bobbi Brown shades which I have had for a couple of years, and they are regularly in my everyday make up as they are just staples which add to any make up look. They are Bone and Taupre, but the two I purchased Saturday are much warmer in town and will look great worn either as an all over lid colour or just to warm up the crease.Then it was off to Nars. I will say that the staff here are much like the staff at Mac and are too busy talking to offer you any really good customer service, but I persevered and stood waiting for 10 minutes and then walked up to the assistant and broke into her conversation and asked if she could help me. Normally I dont do that, but I was determined that I really wanted the Nars Frivolous lip crayon, and eventually she served me. I will say through the transaction the girl was very nice and pleasant to speak to, so that kind of made up for being ignored for the first 10 minutes at the counter. This lip crayon is gorgeous.
I hope you have enjoyed this post, and let me know in the comments what you have been hauling lately.
Love and Hugs,

Prince is my favorite singer ever and the reasons why are simlpe. He has a great voice and his own style plus he's been with some of the most attractive women I have ever seen.
The amount of great songs he has songs are probably more than any other muscician. On top of that he has also done movies TV shows and he even performed at the Super Bowl. Prince is an extremely talented and creative performer and those are just a few of the many qualities that make Prince my all time favorite singer.Many people have tried to imitate him and have failed Prince is the greatest ever period end of story.

This is a cosplay I've been wanting to do for a long time. Ever since I watched Eureka Seven of course! I think it's one of those characters that a girl sees and it's so appealing to cosplay. Cute, blue hair…,adorable and youthful, yet she can be sexy, if you want. 😉 Eureka is a mystery, almost till the end of the series. She is extremely expressionless at first and doesn't really understand emotion. It's actually exciting when you start to see her smile for the first time.. I personally think she's a bad ass! 😉
Since I've gained a little more sewing experience I decided I could finally pull this off. This would be the second, "whole" costume I've ever made. This dress looked simple, but I was going crazy when I couldn't figure out where to start. After suggestions for patterns from friends, I found one that looked like it would work. I also had to combine the two different patterns that came in the envelope so I could get the look I wanted. A little scary not following the cutting line! lol. Another suggestion was to make it into a real jumper and shirt. I liked that because I wanted to make it as realistic as possible. So that's what I did. I am still not official happy with the shirt because I made it out of broadcloth (a suggestion from the lady at the fabric store). I didn't like how the broadcloth has no stretch and it was hard to take on and off and I thought it would bunch up. It did a little, but wasn't too bad. I made my own fabric buttons as well. Found a great tutorial and it was a life saver because I could not find the color buttons I needed.
I added a type of vinyl to the boots and painted them. So happy they turned out great! My wig was bought online and came styled. I did spike the ends a bit on the sides and the back. My first time spiking hair ever! I learned that having a wet wash cloth at hand is very important. 🙂
The last challenge was to figure out how to pose in this costume and to do expressions. Eureka had a lot of expressionless faces till the end so I wanted to have those looks. It's hard for me to do those photos! They fall in the category of sexy photos. Sexy expression = serious. No smiles! I think I didn't do too bad! He, he, he… But I still had to pull out the kawaii smiles once in a while!!
UPDATE 10/15/2010: There are so many photos of this costume now I've had to go and delete some off of here and there's still too many! There are some amazing photos so please click on them and check it out!! Below is an artistic rendition of Eureka I found online. I loved the rift board in this image and wanted to make my rift board like this one.
NOTE: Special thanks goes out to the following people: the great lady at feralworks.net for the beautiful wig. Also Jimmy Burns (angrydogarmor.com) who took all the portrait photos seen in the gallery and other photos taken by Donnie Sinclair (phantombump.com) and Mike Pynkala. One last thank you goes to…Leah!! Thanks for being so available for question and for putting up with my ass. You rock. 🙂

There is no doubting it's been a very hot end of May! The weather has been glorious and the heat has been intense. I'm hoping that the sun may stay for a while but I have a feeling that might have been our heatwave for the year… Anyhow, this warmer weather makes me crave light salads and juices more than anything for lunch. When it's warm and sticky, there's nothing better than a lovely, fresh salad. There are obviously lots of spots in town where you can take these away to eat at your desk (for workaholics) or outside (picnic time!)
So, I've done a bit of research into some top contenders to see which summer lunch I found to be the best. To keep it fair, I tried to pick a falafel / vegetarian based salad at each venue. I visited Pret, Marks & Spencer, Greggs, Starbucks and Boots. Here are the results!
Sweet Potato Falafel & Smashed Beets Veggie Box
- £4.50
- 334 cal 10.3g protein 3.1 sat fat
Taste: 5/5 – This was so beautiful!
Value for money: 2/5 Very very expensive and I can't really justify this regularly.
Freshness: 4/5 Very tasty, although the falafel was a little dry.
Nutrition: 4/5 Pretty good and a nice amount of protein with low saturated fat.
Aesthetics: 5/5 This salad looks amazing and very enticing.
Total: 20/25
Marks & Spencer:
Nourish Bowl Edamame & black rice
- £3.50
- 395 cals 16.5g protein 2.7 sat fat
Taste: 4/5 This was very tasty although I found the black rice a little odd.
Value for money: 4/5 Still quite expensive although the portion size is big so you feel as though you get your money's worth.
Freshness: 5/5 Tasted very fresh.
Nutrition: 5/5 Full of all the good stuff with lots of protein!
Aesthetics: 5/5 The salad looked delicious.
Total: 23/25
Falafel and Harissa and grains salad:
- £3
- 314 calorie, 7.5g protein, 1.2g sat fat
Taste: 4/5 Tasted quite nice however I would remove the red onions.
Value for money: 3/5 This was cheaper than the others which is great although I think this is still quite expensive and I would have expected Greggs to be slightly cheaper.
Freshness: 4/5 Tasted very fresh and the falafel was not too dry.
Nutrition: 4/5 This salad doesn't have as much protein although has very low saturated fat which is good.
Aesthetics: 3/5 I don't think the salad looked as nice at Pret or Marks & Spencer but was better than Starbucks and Boots.
Total: 18/25
Courgetti, Broccoli & Halloumi Cous Cous
- £4.50
- 357 calorie, 11g protein, 5.1g sat fat
Taste: 2/5 This was a bit bland and lacked flavour. I also don't like cooked pepper so that probably didn't help!
Value for money: 1/5 way too expensive for what you get!
Freshness: 3/5 This didn't taste amazingly fresh and felt a bit sloppy.
Nutrition: 3/5 Not as good as the other options due to high amount of saturated fat.
Aesthetics: 2/5 This salad just looked a little sloppy.
Total: 11/25
Carrot and coriander falafel salad
- £2.60
- 260 cals, 5.6g protein, 1.2g sat fat
Taste: 2/5 I found this to taste a little bland and the dressing wasn't very flavourful.
Value for money: 5/5 Very good! You can get the salad as part of the Boots meals deal too which costs only £3.39.
Freshness: 4/5 Tasted pretty fresh.
Nutrition: 4/5 This salad didn't have as much protein as others but had a low saturated fat which is good.
Aesthetics: 2/5 The salad doesn't look anything special which is a shame.
Total: 17/25
So, the results are in!
- Marks and Spencer
- Pret
- Greggs
- Boots
- Starbucks
I think my favourite salad was from Pret but the only thing that let this down was the price. I just can't justify £4.50 every day! The only summer lunch here that I really didn't enjoy was from Starbucks as it just really lacked flavour, was a bit sloppy and was very expensive. All the others though were very tasty and of course the difference in cost does affect how much I liked it. I'd happily go to Boots and Greggs on a regular basis and leave Marks & Spencer and Pret for those special occasions (Pay day treats!)
I did a similar taste test earlier this year with coffees which you can find here!

October 17, 2011 in Games (E)
[prMac.com] Bologna, Italy - NuOxygen Game Publishing today is pleased to announce the release of the free to play game for iPad, iPhone devices: Ikaro Racing HD unique air racing game fully 3D implemented with amazing graphics and gameplay. The flight experience and the racing thrill is here for you with Ikaro Racing HD. Free on the App Store.
Ikaro Racing HD is a unique air racing game. Instead of squeaking wheels, iPad gamers can expect turbulent neck-to-neck duels with agile racing airplanes. The game has been designed by the studio Magic Dream Games, offering racing fans a completely new game experience.
On as much challenging as varied air courses, pilots fight against each other. Thereby you cross tremendous dusty canyons and impressive cities or pass with breakneck stunts the checkpoints over a moony island. A dynamic weather system adds even more excitement to the race. Suddently starting snowfall or an upcoming thunderstorm can bring your certain believed pole position in great danger.
Ikaro Racing HD has been designed by Magic Dream Games to take full advantage of the iPad 2 and the iOS platform. This is not one of the many flight simulation games you can find in the App Store. This is The Racing 3D Flight Simulator, nothing else comes close. Try to believe!
You are the pilot of a high performance airplane racing for life at low altitude against a fleet of colorful peers in a breathtaking scenario, working your way from apprentice to full-fledged ace pilot. Ikaro Racing HD is not a procedural nor a mission oriented flight simulator. Ultimately Ikaro Racing HD is a flight simulator designed for players who love flying and having fun.
From the moment the game is started the player is engaged. The pace of the game is carefully crafted to enhance skill, resulting in a pleasant and entertaining experience. Enjoy and explore the magnificent scenario of the city with all its skyscrapers, fly at low altitude over the water of a calm laguna at dusk, enjoy the beauty of an Arizona canyon under the noon sun.
All of this and more is part of the Ikaro's experience. The airplanes are designed with maniac care for the details, cameras from all directions will make you experience the emotion of flight in a way that you have never dreamed of. The camera views during and after the game session highlight the inherent beauty of the surroundings creating a truly immersive experience. Since Ikaro Racing HD is a very dynamic game the player must always be ever-alert, soaking in the scenery but wary of what lies ahead.
The game is completely designed for the iPad 2 but it will perform well also with the iPad first generation by properly setting some of the configuration controls. Five scenarios with up to 22 different traces provide the visual environment for the game. Up to six different airplanes can be chosen by the player in each session. Since every session of the game is fully recorded, the player can go back and watch its performance and that of other players from many different view angles, the perfect game for the family entertainment.
In our culture racing has always represented a way to establish strength and courage. Since ancient times people have been racing, first on foot and then riding horses and cars and motorbikes ... everything but airplanes! Flying is dangerous and expensive. The few air races that took place until now were races against time. For the first time in history now you can be a pilot and take part in a race in the air without the risk of breaking your neck. You are a member of the Ikaro Racing HD team.
Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, 3/4G iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.2 or later
Pricing and Availability:
Ikaro Racing HD 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Jane started a personal blog 5 years ago. When she began, it was more or less a hobby, trying to showcase her hobby to the world.
When she began, friends and family members, including her spouse, did not give a chance nor any form of encouragement. To them, she was merely wasting her time. The result? Today, her blogging has turned into a full time business, taking her across many lands.
Are you still in doubt as to why you should have your own personal blog?
Then read on. First off, starting your personal blog is easy, not as difficult as some do think.
1. Build Your Brand.
With a blog, you have the wonderful opportunity of promoting yourself. It is similar to having a personal channel like CNN and BBC where you broadcast any and all forms of information that catches your fancy without restrictions as long as it is within the ambit of the law.
It offers you the opportunity of becoming an expert in your chosen niche. More importantly, you are able to offer your
expertise to your audience. This also opens vast opportunities for you.
You can now be identified online like the big fish on the internet space. This gives you instant recognition. It is a wonderful experience.
2. Multiple Streams of Income.
Having your personal blog gives you the opportunity of establishing and pursuing your goal of having multiple streams of income. The opportunity is limitless but let me list a few of them.
{a} advertisement
{b} coaching
{c} services
{d} affiliate product/marketing
{e} ebooks
{f} your personal products
{g} your mlm company.
3. Build an Asset.
Having your personal blog is like building a house. Just as your house can generate passive income for you, similarly, your blog is an asset, capable of generating passive income for you.
4. Make You a Better Person.
One of the greatest benefit of having your personal blog is that blogging will make you a better person. If you love writing, it will make you a better writer and if you do not like writing, you will fall in love with writing.
You will also improve your writing skills. You will go on to develop yourself in many other areas of life.
5. You Will Be Helping People.
Blogging offers you the opportunity to have your personal voice. Through this, you will begin to spread information and your knowledge. Whatever you teach will definitely resonate with your audience and thus be able to help them to solve their problem. For instance, I write and teach passive income using network marketing as my vehicle. No doubt, there are certainly many people looking for ways and means of making extra income while keeping their day jobs.
The reality is more people want more money. As a result, they want to start their own business. Writing about how to start your personal business through network marketing resonates with many of my audiences and this has helped them start their own business. Nothing can be more satisfying than helping people begin their own personal business with little investment.
6. You Make Money with Blogging.
As visitors begin to visit your blog Google will begin to send you more traffic so also advertisement will be sent to your blog. This means more money for you as you begin to get a slice of the money paid to Google by advertisers. This begins the process of monetisation of your blog.
I recall the first time I heard that word "monetization" from my blogger friend from Australia, Yaro. That was when I realized the vast potential the blogging business has.
However, make no mistake, don't be deceived, making money through blogging takes time, perseverance and real hard work. It is obviously a long term investment.
The goodnews, however, is that once you gain traction, your income will increase. It begins with a tricle, grows into a small river and gradually into an ocean.
Can you begin to get the picture?
Guess what? Some persons have been known to flip their blogs thousands of dollars; like my friend, Yaro. Infact, many bloggers are basically into blog flipping.
7. Use Your Blog to Stay in Touch.
Your blog offers you the unique opportunity of staying in touch friends, colleagues and family members. They can easily read about your activities, ideas and success.
I recall in 2015 when I got a call from one of my old friends at the university when he read my blog. He wanted to confirm and make sure that it my blog he was reading. I was thrilled, as he appreciated my writing and I was greatly encouraged.
8. Makes You Learn New Things.
Since blogging is all about sharing and teaching what you know, you must first learn in order to teach. With a blog, you are compelled to learn new things, particularly about your chosen niche and even more. This is also what establishes you as an expert.
Personally, I have learnt so much. For example, I have learnt to be:
1. Focused
2. Perseverance
3. Disciplined
4. Self-development.
9. Work Smart.
With a blog, you work smart. Initially, you must invest time, money and other resources to build a community of followers. Thereafter, your blog will begin to work for you 24/7. This is particularly true when you eventually automate your process.
For example, a blog can take time and energy to write but once written can continue provide value to your audience for years.
10. Blogging is a Business.
Blogging is of itself a business. Just imagine Jane mentioned at the outset who began blogging as a hobby, but gradually has grown the blog into a full time business.
If she did it and I am doing it, you too can do it.
11. Generate Lead 24/7.
When you begin to blog and grow your audience and traffic, Google will visit and crawl your pages. You will be listed on Google search engine and others such as Yahoo and Bing. It can be likened to opening a shop everyday of the week, non-stop. It is amazing.
That simply means that you will be exposed in the internet space. This will bring people to visit your blog 24/7. What this means in effect is that these people in turn will become your friends and possibly future partners. And you have every opportunity to promote your business to them. The possibilities are endless and amazing.
So that's it. You now have 11 amazing benefits why you need a personal blog. So what are you waiting for?
Go get yourself a blog. Need assistance? Give me a call, I am here to help you.

Looking for a Home East of Pittsburgh?
Couples or families with children looking for a home outside of Pittsburgh might consider the towns of Monoreville and Murrysville. Monoreville is in Allegheny county, while Murrysville is in Westmoreland county. Monroeville is named for the town's first postmaster, Joel Monroe in the late 18th century. While the United States' first commercial natural gas well, the Haymaker Gas Well, was established in Murrysville.
Families, couples and singles alike will find a wide array of choices of housing in these two areas. There are plenty of reasonably priced homes in Murrysville PA as well as affordable homes in Monroeville.
The Home Buying Process
Anyone new to purchasing a home, and even those that have been through the process before, want to get the best deal available. Regardless of the overall housing market, there are some things home buyers ought to be aware of to find a home that fits both a buyer's wish list and budget.
Determine What Your Budget Is
Mortgage lenders not only like to see borrowers with good credit scores, they feel more comfortable with buyers coming into the loan process with a stake in the transaction. With tightening of mortgage loan qualifications, this means more and more borrowers must have a down payment available in order to qualify.
Borrowers should have a debt-to-income ratio of less than 36 percent to qualify for a mortgage. To calculate a borrower's DTI or debt-to-income ratio, simply add up all recurring expenses. This includes, car loans, student loans, personal loans and credit cards. All of these are known as "revolving" or "recurring debt". Leave out gas, groceries and other discretionary expenditures. Divide the total recurring debt by gross monthly income and that will yield a borrower's DTI. For instance, if a borrower grosses $4,000 and has $1,400 in recurring debt, his DTI is 35 percent.
Decide Where You Want to Live
Homes in Monroeville and homes in Murrysville PA come in a wide assortment. There is something for everyone. Once a borrower knows his budget and becomes pre-qualified for a mortgage by a lender, its time to house hunt. Consider holding back about 10 to 15 percent of the mortgage approval funds for remodeling costs. This will keep the monthly payments affordable and allow the home to be personalized after purchase.
Be Willing to Compromise
Home buyers are more than likely to find they won't get everything on their wish list. Being realistic about how much is affordable and a home's features will make the house hunt go faster and less stressful.

|Learning Objective- Teachers will evaluate their ability to effectively communicate using e-mail with 100% accuracy.
|The Association for Supervision and
Curriculum Development (ASCD) recommends that teachers demonstrate the
ability to effectively communicate using e-mail and to understand basic
copyright rules. The "Copyright Laws" assignment is one method used to
assess the teacher's ability to use e-mail and inform him/her of the
complexities of copyright laws.
This assignment will be completed with the routine e-mail transactions that occur during this course. By completing Copyright Laws assignment, and sending a copy-and-pasted completion statement generated by the Copyright Laws exam within the body of the e-mail, the conditions of the "E-Mail" and "Copyright" will be met.
Other competencies, using e-mail, will also be assessed throughout this course.
|Never say "NO"- "E-mail is for 'Yes,' 'Maybe,' and should be used for sending information or responding to questions. If you must tell someone "No," then it might be a good idea to call them over the phone or tell them in person.
|Look at the time- If you hold a supervisory position and if subordinates see you working late hours, they will feel as though they have to work late as well.
|Are you are angry?- Do not send an e-mail if you are angry or agitated. Wait until you calm down before you reply to a negative situation.
|Carbon Copy?- Think before you Carbon Copy your boss to influence your intended recipient. This builds resentment.
|E-mails are not private- Be careful as to what you write in an e-mail. Do not write anything that you would not want others to read. Consider the legal issues when sending confidential e-mail; ensure that these types of e-mails are encrypted. Sending the personal information of a student, using unsecure e-mail practices, may be a violation of the Family Education Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA).
|Government Agencies (including public education) are required to archive/store all e-mails (including attachments) sent within their networks for an indefinite period of time. For this reason, It is recommended to use school e-mail for school business only. Most school systems monitor all e-mail traffic; because of this, it is important not to send personal and private information via school e-mail.

Multiple rooms, both interior and exterior, have been added to a non-descript, one-story home transforming it into a receiver of Miami's tropical climate. While the effect is striking, minimal alterations were made to the existing structure.
This Florida house is entered through a 20'x30'x20' volume where a reflecting pool and oculus align to activate the space with reflection and luminance. A large room organizes the house into private and public realms.
Tremendous spaces with oversized windows overlook the pool and canal. A 60′ x 20′ x 20′ volume, at the rear of the home provides room enclosure for outdoor living. A large circular column contains an outdoor shower open to the sky.
The second floor of the property contains a secluded courtyard garden, off the master bedroom, for private activities. The project provides a flexible infrastructure for the participation and enjoyment of the pleasures of life.

As Rosie took to the stage I just knew her wardrobe people were hanging their heads in the back. She took to the stage in a horrible Christmas sweater that looked like someone super-glued a teddy bear to the boob. Not pretty. Within moments she let us in on the "why" – it was her first "Ugly Christmas Sweater Pageant". Clearly the sweaters were recent additions to the world making them truly one of a kind. You have to head over to Oprah.com and see them. Always ending the segment on a high, Rosie announced to the crowd that everyone was going home with the new book The Oprah Show: Reflections of an American Legacy. That is an AWESOME gift!
This show really highlighted that anyone can craft! You don't have to be perfect to have fun being creative. The craftiness started with Rosie's friend Bobby Pearce as they stenciled a mug while they belted out Grease's "There Are Worst Things I Could Do". As they admire their work, Ro informed the crowd they all were going home with her craft book, Crafty U: 100 Easy Projects the Whole Family Can Enjoy All Year Long
Realizing that her entire audience spent money on creating ugly sweaters, Rosie challenged Bobby to create a craft that would put them to use. He came up with a great idea! Rosie invited her next guest, Casey Gorab, who is starring in A Christmas Story. This is the young girl whom Rosie encouraged to follow her dreams when they met years ago at a Broadway show. Now she is living her dream! As a special treat for the audience, Casey sang "Somewhere Hovering over Indiana" from A Christmas Story: The Musical She is absolutely adorable! Before the performance, she gave everyone in the audience 2 tickets to the show on Christmas Eve. I just love holiday musicals. For years my family would see The Nutcrackera few weeks before Christmas…for some reason we stopped. I may have to work on that for next year. Some traditions should never die.
Marjorie Johnson, the Blue Ribbon Baker, was our next treat of the day bringing along yummy recipes to tempt us all. She even has a book out, Blue Ribbon Baking, which can be found on her website and in major book stores. It is full of lots of prize winning recipes. I'm not sure I can resist making the coffee cake. Here are a few from OWN.
• Sour Cream Streusel Coffee Cake
• Orange Sugar Christmas Trees Recipe
At the end of the segment, Rosie surprised Marjorie and her husband with a 7-day Carribean cruise on the Norwegian Pearl. I couldn't help but smile….I just love Rosie. The fun wasn't over yet – we still had a game to play. ♫ ♪ Oh Matchmaker, Matchmaker, make me a match. Find me a find. Catch me a catch. ♫ ♪ Sorry I couldn't resist. Of course Rosie couldn't play just any game for the holiday. Enjoy!

Fake friends hit you in the back and good friends hit you on your face.
