Yeah, but HOW do you do it??
08.08.11 | Posted in Entrepreneurship General
I interviewed Catherine Harris, Chairwoman of Harris Farm Markets last week. We'll be running that interview in the next edition of the Business Chicks mag, Latte (which incidentally is shaping up to be a bumper issue. If you're not yet a Business Chicks member become one here so you can receive an annual subscription.)
Anyways, I digress. There are at least twenty reasons I could give you as to why I think Catherine is incredible – she chairs a business with annual revenues of over $300 million; she works in the business with three of her five sons (yep, no typo there – she has five sons) and her husband, David; she's on too many boards to mention; and during our photo shoot at their Potts Point Sydney store called the staff by their first names (they have over 1000 employees.)
Catherine's mum was another incredible lady, Mary Rossi. She was the first Aussie woman to have her own television show in the 50s and then went on to found her own business, Mary Rossi Travel. But here's the clincher. Mary had ten children. Again, no typo.
Now as the mother of a mere two little tackers, I sat dumbfounded across the table from Catherine as she recalled how her mum worked full time and ran a household of ten children (plus gave back to the community – the Premier at the time, Neville Wran, asked her to be on his Women's Advisory Committee, among other community initiatives she was a part of.) It wasn't appropriate for me to ask during our interview last week, but the real question I wanted to ask was this: "ok, but HOW did she do it? What did she specifically do to make it work?"
It's the same question I find myself asking of other super successful working women who have the majority responsibility for running their families/homes. I just want to get the inside scoop into what things they did differently to make life work. To make it a bit easier.
I've recently had my second child and so far so good. I'm managing. I could do with some more sleep, but I'm managing pretty well. Friends (mostly those without kids) are the ones now asking me "yeah, but HOW do you do it?" so I pondered that for a minute this morning and came up with a few ways that I'm making the juggle work.
1) I don't do housework. Well I do a bit of it (tidying up, packing/unpacking the dishwasher and picking my hubby's clothes off the floor is inevitable) but as a rule I try to hold back and not do it, which in itself is a discipline. I certainly don't clean (not that I have anything against it – I actually find it quite therapeutic – but it's just a stupid way for me to spend my time.) So, I have a housekeeper/cleaner come in three mornings a week to organise us.
2) I don't strive for perfection. This is hard for me but I'm training myself not to correct my typos, spelling, grammar etc when communicating internally with my team on email/skype. Just saves time. I also don't write lengthy messages. If something needs length then it's better to talk. I try find as few words as possible to respond. Then I hit delete and move onto the next message. Obviously communication with our members, partners etc requires more polish, but the same rule – short and sweet where possible – applies there too.
3) I do all my shopping online. Each week I do a grocery shop online and a shop with the local fruit & veg market online (sorry Catherine – you guys have got to go online!) and it saves me a heap of time. I have lists saved in my profile and shopping for the family is generally a 5-10 minute task.
4) I have amazing family support. Love my mum. Love my mother-in-law. They save my life each week with the support they give us. But if I didn't have them around I'd hire someone else to fill their shoes (sounds cold and mercenary but it's not – I'm just trying to say that if someone else can do a job at say $30 an hour, I'd do better outsourcing it.)
How about you? Tell us your secrets and tips so we can all go on to live happily ever after. And have our own television shows. And businesses. And ten children.

Thanks – I thought they did this……
Kirsty Spraggon
Love it ! I agree with 'don't do housework' and haven't cleaned a toilet since the 90's. I outsource anything that I don't enjoy and anything I can pay someone less for than my hourly rate. It's important to know what your time is worth. In terms of how I juggle. I integrate work and play. I walk with clients (kills to birds with one stone) a meeting and excersise. I eat out with clients often and I use 'time gaps' where ever possible such as being in a taxi, or at the doctors office, to listen to an audio book, check emails or update my linked in.
Great tips K!! Thanks for sharing!
I still do the housework – but I have a strict routine I stick to. For me running more than one business with kids (I have two and one on the way and i'm launching two more businesses over the coming year) requires a lot of planning. A lot of organising. And a lot of self discipline. I agree with Kirsty – I outsource where I can and time gaps are a godsend. You always have plenty of hours in the day to do everything if you know how to use them.
Great post. Thanks for sharing how you manage both your jobs.
I think if I could take your lead I could seize back some of my time. Currently I'm working 6 days with Sunday being 'family' day.
Who wants to spend that valuable time and the evenings cleaning up constantly. My kids seem to care more about me spending time with them anyway.
I'm going to work on that this week.
So true huh? They don't seem to mind if the house is messy but they care if we're stressed and tired!
Ivana Matic
Hi Emma, I also don't do housework. I'm only tiding up, packing/unpacking dishwasher and washing machine. And that is taking too much time. I'm glad that you're also picking up hubby's clothes from the floor :-).
I have two girls, 4 and 16 months. For me the most important thing is to find "me" time, which is in my case exercise, then I'm filled withe the energy to do everything else. Also, doing the job you like is very important.
I really don't mean this to sound snarky, but it seems the answer of how to do it all, is to earn a hell of a lot more money than I, or most of the mothers I know, do, and spend a lot of time away from your babies with someone else taking care of them for you.
If you're not in the position to 'outsource', even for $30 an hour (which is a LOT of money to a large chunk of society), then what do you do?
Are there any tips for the mothers out there still working on their careers and aiming higher for themselves?
Starting from a position of wealth before having children seems to be a common thread in the examples of these women, It really does seem incredibly to get ahead AFTER the babies come along, with all it takes to maintain these careers.
That's what we're trying to uncover Gen – do you have any tips to share with us that you've found? We're all in this together, no matter what our situation or what we earn….Emma
Sara Lucas
God, so true, Emma! I have 3 kids and an early stage business, which ironically helps women to be more savvy about money.
Women's ability to manage and outsource where possible without doubt, plays a big part in our success but what of the associated costs, as Gen mentions above? Let's assume the cost of outsourcing and support is say, $50,000 pa with childcare, housekeeping, outsourced meals etc. How much would you suppose a business needs to earn in revenue (before tax etc) to land the equivalent of $50,000 in post tax dollars in your hot sticky little hand for the cleaner's wage? Depending on the nature of your business, its cost base and your capacity for smart tax management, the range is a staggering $85,000 to $400,000! Yes you did read that right.
No wonder this working parent gig is like facing the West Face of K2, especially when we run our own businesses! The costs of even getting out of the door are absurd.
I've written more about this, and why the range is so high, in this month's Latte magazine. You'll need to have it to be in the know!
Perhaps I had your Latte article in mind when I wrote this Sara (which by the way is brilliant – thank you! I know our community will love reading your findings and case studies when the issue comes out.)
It sure does seem like an insurmountable cliff face at times!
Onwards and up to you and all the other women in the same position…
Monica Griffin
I run a business from home, we have 2 young children that are primary school & my husband is a police officer so when he isnt working he is hands on with the business & house work. We have been married for 14 years & we have always shared the load of the chores. Sure sometimes it is hard but the house work still gets done, I make a "work to do list" in the morning get the kids organised for school, tidy up then hit the office. Sometimes though I have to admit there isnt enough hours in the day, but it still gets done & if there is a pile of folding/ironing well it will get done eventually :)
Sara Lucas
Glad you liked it Em, I could have written a series, there's plenty to say! Sx

Having been in business for 30 years (TheBooster.com) helping over 1 million consultants and raising 4 great kids (that have now given me almost 13 grandchildren) I have been there — done that! Yes, hiring someone to clean house was liberating! (Mainly because I don't enjoy house cleaning) I found I could either hire someone to do computer work, or hire someone to clean house. I'd rather do the computer and creative work so that was easy. I was fortunate to work from home for 27 years. My kids ALWAYS had someone to come home to, even if I wasn't there because I hired my best friends and neighbors who loved my kids too. However, the thing that helped me the most was advice from my Aunt (who had 9 kids) who said. "I mop the floor once a week whether it needs it or not." This taught me to keep things in perspective and not worry about being perfect at everything. Enjoy your life! Enjoy your contribution to society and your family. Most importantly, enjoy being who you are!

Ah welcome to the dilemmas of the Age Of The Superwomen! (imagine rousing anthems and silk superhero capes)
My generation I think were the first to think that we could have it all. Babes, perfect marriages, not just a career but an empire…. oh and everything else that the men aspired to could now be ours too.
I think we sold ourselves a mirage.
I can share a couple of tips to help you find some balance in this madness that we seek but remember the word 'BALANCE' is the key.
Give yourselves a break girls, it is a juggle to take on the superwoman role & one which has huge implications for our whole society. Nice if you have the resources to outsource but most just don't have that luxury. Though in past times I have been blessed to be in the first category.
Rule 1. The best thing I ever learned from my mum when babes arrived was to only ever do 1 hr of housework a day. After the hour whatever isn't done is left and yes you get over perfection. I completely concur with Gen that when funds are tight it is hard to do that "spend your way out of trouble girlfriend" dance which was my mum's second lesson. (thanks mum :-))
Rule 2: It is not 'Quality Time' but 'Quantity Time' that really reaps the rewards in our parenting. You can't schedule brilliant moments with your kids as you can with your work time. You just gotta put in the time.
Having done it all from running several businesses & having a huge disposable income to losing it all and starting again my priorities with my babes are now quite different. I've only one left at home and she is a delightful 17 now but I have certainly given up my drive for perfection on the home front.
I think also it's an age thing. The good news for those of you at the beginning edge of the superwoman thing is that yes it does get easier.
These days I work smarter not harder & likewise I live smarter. It's not about how much can I pack into the day, but how connected and balanced do my family & I feel.
I give myself permission to just 'be', rather than to chase the 'high achiever' tail of so called success.
I feel an Aunty Kaaren blog developing here so will stop. Oh no finally ..
Rule no 3: Your girlfriends are the golden cup to drink from as often as you can. Treasure them wisely.
Kate Weiss
Hi Em and all others who commented!
I fully concur with the not perfection comment. That pile if washing will eventually get folded.
For me it is also about outsourcing at work. As a small business owner it is too easy to work in and not o. The business. I take the attitude applied to housework to my business to free up my time and delegate liberally!
I work from my home office a lot and have my laptop in the kitchen as I really wanted my children to have me there when they come home from school. No one can replace Mum and I don't want to miss those moments. I love to have a home cooked meal on the table but I DO have a cleaner – thank goodness! It is still a juggle – but there is no way in the world I would go back to a job :)
I think you're all incredible! I'm yet to start a family and find myself struggling to keep up with my work, looking after my pets, cleaning and my final year of study at uni.
I'm often wondering how women juggle everything in their personal lives and still manage to be successful professionally.
Thank you for all of your tips for when I finally do settle down to start a family and try to balance everything!
Keep up the great work.
Don't worry Kelly – you'll find time and energy and resources you never knew you had and you'll do great. Running a busy life before starting a family is fantastic training!
Be careful ladies, you can't put a price on raising and enjoying your own children. When you are in your 70's you will not look back on your life and say "I wish I had made more money or outsourced the care of my children" instead you will regret the years you gave up/missed. No one can have it all. You choose whats most important, in one way or another somthing must give. Im sure if you asked your kids they would choose to have mum around more.
Hello Peter, I'm not sure anyone's advocating outsourcing their children or parenting responsibilities – parenting is not a decision made lightly and I take my role as the mother and role model to my girls very seriously.
I am an advocate for women doing the activities that energise them and make them happy (whatever that means – working full time or being a full time mother or the tens of variations of that).
Funny you should mention women in their 70s…When my grandmother was in her 70s she confided in me that she wished she had had a career (she chose full time motherhood, or it was chosen for her) as she found her role monotonous and very difficult and wished for more.
Thanks for your comment Peter.
Quite the hot topic! I'm staring out on a new career while watching my amazing sister (she's a stay at home mum of 2 and I don't know how she does it!) all the while considering when we might have children!
Trying to get my own life in order (house keeping is not a priority for me either but can't afford a cleaner!) I discovered FlyLady, she's been a godsend! For those of you who live in CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome) her step by step instructions and daily emails mean you do as your told for a few minutes a day and once a week do a 'Weekly Home Blessing' (now doesn't that make you think differently about your housework?!) for an hour or two… leaving your head available to worry about more important things.
I'm hoping this new routine will leave people whispering 'I don't know how she does it!' about me in a year or two when my business is thriving while I raise my own kids… I'll let you know how that works out!
Thanks for another great post Em!
Big EMMA K.
Absolutely true, housework is a thankless task, that always needs doing and NEVER goes away. I enlist the entire family for a "10 minute tidy" morning and night. If it isn't in it's rightful place, it gets thrown out. Tough love, but I loathe clutter & too much to do, and no budget for outsourcing!
I also do laundry at night, utilise my dryer in off peak and fold and put away immediately or hang it – no ironing required!
Spare minutes are very precious and I'd rather do something fun than clean!

Stranger Than Fiction
- Artist: Kathy Hussey
- Genre: Folk
- Release Date: 1/22/2002
'Reckless drunks, redemption-seeking drag queens, horny good girls, stray dogs, even the rare well-adjusted lover...all are characters populating Stranger Than Fiction, the latest from Nashville-based singer/songwriter Kathy Hussey. Those unfamiliar with the charms of this fresh folk/pop voice will know her well and likely find her quite enchanting after spending some time with the new disc. A concept album of sorts (all tunes were inspired by actual people and/or events), Fiction takes some bold steps forward from the strong starting point of her debut, the promising yet milder If Wishes Were Horses. The first set's arrangements centered around Hussey's capable acoustic guitar skills, and worked to spotlight skillfully-phrased yet straightforward lyrics. This time, deeper subject matter and a more complex lyrical style dictate the addition of subtle rock elements and an ever-present, almost undetectable dark sheen which unifies the set. The new sound works, and now when the toys are put away in favor of simple arrangements ('Man's Best Friend,' 'Some Will Never Know') the quiet beauty of what's left is striking. Highlights here are plentiful. Outstanding storytelling anchors 'Stop That Train,' a tale which draws a comparison both figurative and literal between the hazards of addiction and an oncoming train. The lighthearted, love-crossing-the-Mason-Dixon-line adventure 'Cherry Gingles' comes complete with swirling and irresistible harmonies. The sparse and sexy 'Ice Cream Baby' casts Ms. Hussey as a small-voiced good girl barely able to control her desires to climb into a tasty, creamy tryst. The pop side of this folk/pop artist steps forward for the gorgeous, hook-heavy ballad 'Just Like a Dream,' one of the few tunes on Stranger Than Fiction that puts all of it's can't-stop-playing-them cards on the table upon one listen. All of these tales are communicated by a voice that is infinitely pleasant and bears an important similarity to the twists and turns of the artist's songs; every once in a while, when one least expects it, something new and engaging presents itself. It's obvious that the storyteller is intimately acquainted with her subjects, and we hear subtle changes in tone as the point of view changes. One voice tells us the story of 'Samantha' (who's story is best left as a delightful surprise for the listener), while another comes from the perspective of an ever-faithful abandoned dog in 'Man's Best Friend,' and yet another communicates the artist's own personal history. And like these songs, the voice grows more interesting and gains more character with repeated listenings. Fans of Shawn Colvin, Jonatha Brooke...even Sarah McLachlan and Dido... should clear a space next to their old Joni Mitchell records and fill it with Kathy Hussey's Stranger Than Fiction, a smart and affecting gem of true-to-life music and pictures.' --Dan Schaefer, Alliance Entertainment ********* Kathy Hussey is a progressive folk singer/songwriter based in Nashville, TN. Her music ranges from pop-tinged folk to bluegrassy hip-hop, with traces of celtic influence - her songs paint vivid portraits, rich with character and narrative, and completely free of cliche. 'Stranger Than Fiction' is her second CD and has an extra-edgy pop feel that sets this recording apart from her other two. Fans of artists like Jonatha Brooke will love this recording. Hussey is the Director of Camp Summersong (Nashville's songwriting camp for kids), the Coordinator of the Riverbluff Festival's Performing Songwriter competition, and travels the country performing and teaching songwriting workshops for both kids and adults. In Nashville, she is well-known for her 14-year stint as host of the city's most innovative weekly songwriter gathering which features a "title of the month" exercise, group co-writes, and outdoor campfire circles all summer long. Songwriting accolades include a 2003 win at the Kerrville New Folk competition, top five spot at the Mountain Stage Newsongs contest, second place honors at the 2005 Suwanee Springfest and Grand Prize in Tupelo's Gum Tree Festival competition. Kathy has just released her third independent CD, Moments of Wonder, which is receiving folk radio airplay worldwide, and features performances by such acoustic music luminaries as Tim O'Brien, Bryan Sutton, Andrea Zonn and Mike Henderson. Check out the link to that CD over to your left. ******** "Folk Medicine" - maybe that's the best way to describe Kathy Hussey's music. Let's just say there's no better elixir to counteract the occasional ills of the songwriting scene -- the preoccupied navel-gazing, the world-saving, and the love-lost-lamenting -- than a healthy dose of Kathy's insightful and inspiring songs. Where some cling to tired cliches, she invigorates the listener, spinning stories that are fresh and involving, and delivering them onstage with charm and abundant personality. Her songs channel others, giving voice to the abandoned dog, the child within a 90-year-old woman, the French ice cream vendor, the earth itself. She knows the important light isn't the spotlight on the singer, but the one shed on the truth. Kathy comes from everywhere, tapping into her four-corners-of-the-country upbringing and her self-described "wonder-lust" to turn out a wide range of compelling characters. And why not? Her own story is compelling. One of identical twins, adopted at birth. A hopscotch childhood, always the "new kid." The high school for rodeo hopefuls. The college commune. The bartending. Every stop full of new things and people to try to figure out. Kathy's songs come to life, because she's immersed in it. She's a trail guide, a horsewoman, a tie-dye teacher and a leader of songwriting workshops for kids. She connects with the things that connect us all, and the proof is in the accolades. Critical raves for her three self-released albums. Festival performance honors at Kerrville, Telluride and Suwannee. Songwriting awards from Mountain Stage Newsongs, American Songwriter Magazine, Just Plain Folks, and the Grand Prize from the 2006 Great American Song Contest for "The Same Mary." "Folk medicine." Hmm, could be. Consider the evidence. Endorsed by the wisdom of the elders. Natural, with a finger on the human pulse. Stimulates the brain and examines the heart. Dispensed with care and humor, often enough on a house (concert) call. Sure looks like the prescription from here. Whatever you want to call it, the doctor says that Kathy Hussey's music is mighty good for what ails you. ******** Awards, Accolades, and Pats-On-The-Back --------------- GRAND PRIZE - 8th Annual Great American Song Contest ('The Same Mary') --------------- 2006 Just Plain Folks Awards: • Best Lyric - WINNER ('The Same Mary') • Americana Song of the Year - 6th place ('The Same Mary') • Americana Album of the Year - nominee (Moments of Wonder) --------------- 2006 Finalist Telluride Troubadour Competition --------------- 2006 4th place American Songwriter Magazine Lyric Contest --------------- 2006 Semi-Finalist Independent Music World Series, Southeast --------------- 2005 Grand Prize Gum Tree Songwriters Festival --------------- 2005 2nd place Suwannee Springfest Song Contest --------------- 2005 Honorable Mention Rocky Mountain Folks Fest --------------- 2004 Finalist Gum Tree Songwriters Festival --------------- 2003 Winner Kerrville New Folk Competition --------------- 2003 5th place Mountain Stage Newsongs Contest --------------- 2002 Finalist Kerrville New Folk Competition ---------------.

google maps europe
. not bad at all.
as much as i would like, i'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with my little
google maps australia street maps mashup
before. i'll still leave the demo online, because maybe it will come in handy as sample code for other places that still do not have street maps and want to employ the same trick.
thanks to

- Why did Stephen Harper's chief of staff, Nigel Wright, cut a personal cheque to repay Senator Mike Duffy's controversial living expenses? Are all the Senators implicated in this controversy being treated equally in the process – or are the cases of Duffy and Pamela Wallin being handled differently from those of Mac Harb and Patrick Brazeau (who have both left their party caucuses and are suing over the issue of their committee-ordered repayments)? Why are any legal opinions on the residency question still not public? And if there is real expense fraud happening here, what's with all the fudging around who's job it was to call in the Mounties?
- Unless you were up late following the returns, the headlines out of yesterday's B.C. election were a stunner. How did Christy Clark's Liberals pull this one out? Why were the polls so wrong? What does Adrian Dix's defeat say about the NDP's strength in the province - and does that impact the federal party's chances? Plus, with Christy Clark headed back to the premier's office, what does that mean for hot federal-provincial files like the Northern Gateway pipeline?

9. Global Public Goods for Health: Use and Limitations
Richard D Smith, David Woodward
Research agenda
- Framework for systematic and appropriate identification of possible GPGH
- Agreed system for measurement/valuation of potential costs and benefits of GPGH
- Appropriate role and status of 'access goods'
- Systematic analysis of relationship between health and non-health GPGs
- Relationship between GPGH framework and other frameworks (e.g. equity, rights)
- Appropriate financing systems for GPGH
- Political opportunities and constraints
- More work is needed to establish a framework for the systematic and appropriate identification of possible GPGH. Without an accepted and accurate classification system, the ad hoc or opportunistic classification of patently non-GPGs as GPGs will merely lead to the concept devalued.
- An agreed system for measurement/valuation of potential costs and benefits of the GPGH needs to be identified consistent with the agreed framework.
- Establish the appropriate role and status of 'access goods' in the production of GPGH - whether, as we have suggested, they can legitimately be treated as if they were GPGs, or whether they are better viewed as a prequisite for GPGH production, or as synergetic with a GPG approach.
- Systematic analysis of relationship between health and non-health GPGs. It is likely that a combined approach may make the production and/or finance of each GPG (health & non-health) more effective than pursuing each alone.
- There is need for further work on the conceptual and practical relationship between the GPGH framework and other frameworks for international development, such as equity, human rights and 'communitarian claims' to ensure that it is complementary to these other frameworks.
- There is little systematic evidence concerning the appropriate financing systems for GPGH provision in different contexts. Progress could be made here through the construction of an economic/policy model of GPGH provision and finance, using the research suggested in point 2 above.
- Research on political opportunities for, and constraints to, effective collective action in the collective interest at the international level, in terms both of formal political structures and processes, and the political dynamics of interactions between countries within such processes.

For the first time, I tried using my Kirby Sentria shampoo attachment. I've lost the manual but found instructions online for making the swap from regular vac to shampoo-er and got it all assembled. The foam laid down just fine, however, when I run the vac back over the foam to pick it up, there is not a stitch of water showing up in the tray. First I thought maybe it was bc I hadn't put that much of the foam/water onto the carpet, but 12 hours later, the carpet is still wet in spots. Clearly

Dream of:24 February 2010 "Metal Men"
I was on the second floor of a two story house where I apparently had lived when I had been young. I was sitting on the floor and in front of me were a couple boxes of old comic books which belonged to me. Other people were walking around the house and it appeared that an auction was taking place and everything in the house was being sold. Since the comics still belonged to me, I was being allowed to take them.
I picked up several comics and looked through them. I saw a copy of "Yogi Bear" which caught my attention because I recalled I had recently acquired a copy of a Yogi Bear comic and I wondered if this copy was in the same series. I found another comic which was in excellent shape for its age. I saw a copy of "Green Lantern" which I thought I might like to read later. I recalled that Green Lantern had been a member of the Justice League and that I had never read the Justice League much because the stories had seemed too convoluted and hard to follow. Now, however, I felt as if I might want to read some of the Justice League.
I then found a number of comics with no covers. As I flipped through them, I wondered if this box of comics was a box of doubles which I had stored. The comics wouldn't be worth much without covers, but I thought I might still like to read some of them. Most of the coverless comics seemed to be of off-brand titles which hadn't lasted long. I thought how some of these comics represented the dreams of some artists and writers and still might be worth reading.
The other people in the room showed little interest in what I was doing. They probably thought comics were a waste of time. But I enjoyed the time I spent reading and keeping track of comics.
I stood and walked over to another box, then sat down again. I just looked straight ahead of me, thinking of the different comics I had read over the years and how difficult it would be to again acquire some of the old titles. Comics such as "The Metal Men" came to mind, an interesting old comic which had disappeared many years ago.

Mark Gruenwald More Remembering Part Two
This post currently has no comments.
Not-So Cheap Laffs
Mark's childhood friend Dave visits Cheap Laffs. L-R: Mike Carlin, Dave Lofver up top, Mark Gruenwald and Eliot Brown. June, 1984. What gets me angry with myself is that, of all places and events, I was unable to take pictures. Mark made us up shirts and you can see a cue card on the floor behind me. We had better eyes back then!
The Federal Communication Commission decided that part of the deal with getting cable-TV all over the place in NYC, was that service providers had to serve the public good. How, you ask? By letting clowns like us have "public access" to these public channels. That's all Mark needed to know! Truly a Judy Garland/Micky Rooney moment: "I've a TV camera… I've got a room… I've got some lights… let's put on a show!" Yep, anybody could walk in with a "show" of some kind and they would put it on the air… er, cable. Even >shhh< risqué sexy stuff! Only a couple of shows made any money in return, which were sex oriented shows. Anyone alive at that time in NYC might remember Robin Byrd. The rest of it was a mind-boggling clutch of weird and awful "talk shows," memory lane stuff, I remember a psychic and soon there was to be the brief meteoric rise (and fall) of Cheap Laffs!
Mark was making money writing a couple of books per month. It's hard to describe the influence on one's life that freelance money could have. That's probably a philosophical exercise that I'll not pursue here. But Mark was making money. We went across Park Avenue South to an electronics house and Mike and Mark and I figured out which "cam-corder" to buy. I know… 'you kids' with your full-feature phones (feebly shake fist in air…). This was a monstrosity by any measure. The power supply and channel tuner side was the same size as the VHS tape recorder/playback unit. Then there was the camera—quite separate and only the size of small dog. About as easy to hold up too. As I recall this cam-corder set-up was about $2400 in late 83 dollars!
We needed to edit. In the pre-anything-easy time of the last century, we all three took a video shooting and editing course. Just a few blocks south of Marvel was legendary musician, Moogy Klingman, who offered an audio/video workshop and class. Moogy was a super accomplished session man who I had heard of because of his work with Todd Rundgren (even bigger legendary musician guy!). Moogy had a bunch of beat-up ¾-inch tape U-Matic format machines that we all three learned to edit with. Sadly, the ½-inch VHS tapes we shot on had to be copied 'up' and edited in that ¾-inch size and then copied back 'down' to ½-inch for delivery to the local Manhattan Cable office (which I think was down on 14 St. –all very convenient). Each transfer rendered up a generational loss which accounts for the truly crappy version of what can be seen on YouTube… We rented time to edit all 8 shows.
Mike Carlin was the bachelor of the three of us. His apartment was far-off in Brooklyn (a borough of New York City) and made the ideal production facilty. Of course, he took the subway in day-to-day but we generally took Mark's Dodge Dart—that's a whole 'nother story— or Jack's Buick Riviera, because we usually shot our sketches on weekends. Mike's place had a wacky painted plaid wall finish which he did not paint over and did well for us. We built a "set"—shown above. Lettering stalwart, Jack Morelli, designed and executed the logo you see. Jack was really a fourth, but he had an even greater trip to get home and couldn't join us every time.
Who did what? Mark and Mike did most of the writing—there was an advantage to having an office full of typewriters. Jack and I had ideas but didn't really get them down in any timely fashion. Jack was a natural actor, ranging from light comedy to stunt work. I was the only one with any – strictly amateur – stage experience at all. I mostly did all the techie stuff. I made a – noisy, buzzy—mixer for the microphones, contributed all my "hot" photographic lighting and wired up the whole set each time. We took very few chances with script and dialog and Mike and Mark wrote up cue cards for every bit.
Mark as actor… when addressing the camera as a commentator, he mostly did a dead perfect imitation of comedian Martin Mull. Mr. Mull was a pseudo talk-show host on a very funny send-up of all talk-shows Fernwood Tonight. I recommend you check it out. When Mark was himself, he was his usual loose-jointed comedic self.
Mike already sounds exactly like Orson Bean. I know… might as well say someone who recorded on Edison cylinders. But look him up, listen to the guy and you'll hear who I mean. Mike Carlin was already one of the driest funny men I've ever met. Getting him to "act" was not really necessary. His normal delivery was pretty funny. Mike was a natural comic actor with that rarest of "perfect timing" instinct.
Jack Morelli, aside from still being one of my closest friends, is a comedic genius. I use the word 'genius' because he doesn't seem to know it. He was game to do all sorts of dumb things and he made them all work without trying. For example, the sketch where Jack is playing a kid whose mom warns him not to watch the violent Three Stooges, and when he sneaks a look, she whacks him like a rag doll. That was done with Nancy Golden as the mom and Mike Carlin doing Stooge sound track and "punch" noises—both off-camera—we just see Nancy's arm as she beats her child. Jack is on his knees, playing a child. All he is doing is reacting – all done in one take, all done with minimal scripting. Also, Mike could generate entire Three Stooges sound effects and random dialog at will, perfectly. He still can.
If you manage to find one of the chunks of Cheap Laffs on YouTube, the bit where Mike applies Shave-O to his face and begins to shave gets me helplessly laughing to this day. Where Mark is literally pulling a nose-hair-as-a-tarantula out of his nose, is shot in Marvel's 387 Park Ave Men's Room! During the opening credits the three main guys are making cutesy faces over the floral display that was part of Marvel's reception area. I bit and pulled up some plants—we all hated the idea that money was being spent on maintaining those things—but I carefully put it back later.
CL is a narrow glimpse into Marvel Comics' people at the time. Editorial members, Danny Fingeroth, Bob Budianski, Howard Mackie, Bob Harris, Annie Nocenti, Nancy "No Relation" Brown (a standard Gru disclaimer), Mike Higgins put up with indignities second only to dealing with freelancers. (For the record, Jack and I were not in Editorial, we were part of the Bullpen Production Staff– like Paul Becton who jumped in to play a security guard.) On occasion, we hoodwinked other staffers to join in, upstairs executive suite "babes" like Nancy Golden and Deb Highly were very good sports. Other comic pros were lured in by the siren call of obscurity and no financial compensation—John Byrne! Best described here as a serious hambone actor. I don't mean to over-praise John just because I like him, but he managed to breath life into a very silly character. Peter Sanderson who only had to read material out loud to make it funny (okay, another name from the misty past: Alistaire Cooke, who America came to know as the host of PBS's Masterpiece Theater in the 70s. Peter sounded just like him).
Then there were our very own, very dear wives and fiances who made the ultimate sacrifice and appeared on camera. Belinda, Mark's first wife made a couple of appearances displaying a good sportsmanlike side no matter how degrading the scene, Arlene Puentes my own dear one, affianced and who married me despite this horrendous embarrassment and Pat Powers, who was Mike's fiancé and who had real theatrical experience, displayed professionalism under fire but who decided not to marry Mike. Jack was not affianced to Lisa Hachadoorian but she was a big part of the backstage crew.
Dr. Dread's Laughter House: (if you never get to see the show online, the visual gag is "Slaughter House.") THE gauntlet of all the shows. A couple of years prior, Mark had made a joke video to his pal, Dave Lofler. The gag was, I was dressed up in a ridiculous outfit, covered from head to toe in black, with a cape and a full-head cold-weather mask. Mark would supply the off-camera voice and I would pantomime speaking and react with whatever was on the desk in front of me. At the end, I pulled off the outfit to reveal a completely different person than was expected. I know… not exactly a knee-slapper. But it put together this crazy character that Mark had in his mind. When we did a spoof of a low-budget kids' show, we had the costume all ready. I built the set out of 1"-thick cardboard, a specialty model-making material from Charrette (an artists supply house I loved). I painted up all the rocky texture in the background. It was a big job considering we built the set and shot on the set within a couple of days.
Two worst parts: it was hot. This was June or July down in Brooklyn, I don't know if Mike even had an air-conditioner—which we couldn't have run anyway for the noise. The other was that I could not properly wear one of the Lavalier-type microphones. We had to use the mic that was mounted on the camera and I "raised my voice." Now, why I felt the character needed such a raucous crow-squawk of a voice is now beyond me. At the time, it seemed that as the character had to wear his full-body suit to help with his terrible itching, that it might affect his voice… I know, kind'a weak thinking. Especially because it made those scenes—hard fought for and barely won—hard to understand. We later thought we should run a whole new soundtrack in over the video. As time went on, Mark considered sub-titles.
But—three of those miserable takes taught us that "editing is our friend." For no known reason we had convinced ourselves that we could get this scene in one take. Turns out we could not!
Of that Dr. Dread material, there's lots of clever Gruenwaldian material that still gets a chuckle out of me. Mrs. Grue, the Mortician's Beautician was based on Mark's own mother! Well, we often called Mark every diminutive of "Gruenwald" that can be imagined and "Grue" was obvious. But his mom was a beautician who would apply more "natural" makeup to the deceased at a local funeral home. In the show, Mrs. Grue was brought in to help Zeke the Zombie ably played by the extra-thin and rubber-limbed Mike. Mrs. Grue herself was played by Nancy Golden—who bravely came out to Brooklyn to be a part of that sweltering hot set.
The segment of the Dr. Dread show that I can see over and over and laugh just as hard each time is when the Dr. goes to ask a question of the Sphinx. Jack seemed like the perfect choice to play the Sphinx himself. Jack and I gathered in the Mike/Mark office during lunch. The night before, I had quickly sketched up an angle on the Sphinx on a piece of foam core I had and used an office watercolor set to finish it off. I crudely measured Jack's head and chopped out a hole that came pretty close. Mark had given me a Darth Vader figure (original!!!) and I quickly wired it to a stick and figured out a gimmick to move its arm up and down. I set up the angle in camera, stuffed the picture over Jack's head and we got it in one take. The idea was to ask the Sphinx a big, mysterious question and to offer a bribe of a "Mummy Pellet." Which in this case was a cough drop. When I flipped it at Jack's head he jumped but recovered quickly. I just cannot watch without laughing. Stick with the on-line appearance till you find the scene and see if you find it funny.
As we edited that whole "show" we discovered that we could run the soundtrack backwards. This made the closing credits of Dr. Dread's show run backwards along with the music! That was a delight to us all as it sounded almost scary. Mark found a "sound effects" record from Halloween, which had a moaning wind which sounded great for the theme music and the Sphinx scene. It also had some yowling cat noises which I thought added to the daffiness.
Speaking of music, Mark wrote the Cheap Laffs theme song which all three of us recorded in Mike's apartment. Oddly Mark didn't want us to join him in three-part harmony. I say oddly because when we three tried it, we were perfect together. I would not have thought Carlin had such a good ear—me, I had an okay voice but was never certain of pitch. For some reason Mark's music was in all our ranges and Mike and I could follow his phrasing as tightly as Mambo Band. Together we sounded great. But Mark thought otherwise. Mike and I just rolled our eyes at each other and moved on. Mark recorded the Dr. Dread theme back in his apartment with Belinda supplying screams as musical counterpoints. It should be noted that Belinda trained as an opera singer. Other "public domain" music was suggested and found by long-standing office comrade and writer, Roger Stern.
One weekend during Cheap Laffs, I had to go off to see an old friend get married. I rented a tuxedo. I came in on a Friday and said, guys, I'm going to have this tux until Tuesday, come up with a bit! What happened was me reading "poems." The poems were lyrics from TV-show songs. Gilligan's Island, F-Troop, etc. It was Roger who produced the texts on demand! Of note during that other hot and demanding shoot, was that at the very end of shooting perhaps a dozen takes I began coughing. It seemed that could be made funnier. It was then I realized I wanted a prop, a cigarette. I didn't smoke, but anything for the camera… We re-shot them all and that's what was chopped up and dropped in through the series.
When we started doing Cheap Laffs, we wondered how hard could it be? Mike, Mark and I, had put together an entire edition of Omniverse (the third edition of Mark's comic reality magazine) right in the middle of the office moving downtown. All done after-hours and me with my almost-new position as typesetter. Then immediately after that, we started producing OHOTMU in earnest. For the next 15 months we three, for the most part, labored mightily putting together the entire first volume. (Now, sure other people were involved, finely talented inker Joe Rubinstein inked all the figures, polygon Peter Sanderson contributed a huge amount of research and text. But it was us three, with our day jobs and who remained in the office, who did the physical labor of assembling version after version until it was right for all that time.) After that, we reasoned, doing something like a TV show would be a stroll in the park.
Not quite. Cheap Laffs was different from Omniverse or OHOTMU because all of the creatives had a desire to say something. When we realized that our effort was organized along the lines of (highly influential) Monty Python's Flying Circus, the idea of everyone getting equal credit regardless of input. You were on the team, period.
Finally… how cheap was Cheap Laffs? Mark reckoned it wound up about $800 bucks per show.
Coda: For Mark's Bachelor Party for his second marriage, we put together a Cheap Laffs reunion of sorts. We videoed the whole thing, doing silly and decidedly non-traditional bachelor party stuff. No dancing girls, no alcohol as such just a bunch of us doing silly things. For high hilarity we called it "Cheap Laffs III" – of course there was no "II". Of course this was some time after the show, Marvel had grown a lot, changed a lot. Many new people were involved and were good friends. So, visible and doing ad-lib antics are Don Hudson, Kevin Tang, Rob Tokar, Mike Higgins, David Wohl, Karl Bollers in addition to Jack Morelli, Mike and myself. I ran across the tape a few years ago and could not get further than 3 minutes in. Considering how happy Mark and Catherine would be, were and had been it was far too much for me. I suppose I should transfer it to DVD if only for posterity's sake.

He used to prowl Beverly Hills wearing a tuxedo and when I asked him why, he replied, "Because, after all, I was in the kind of area where clothes mattered."

PURPOSE: Although intravenous acetaminophen is commonly used for the management of postoperative pain, very limited evidence supports the usefulness of preoperative administration. The aim of this study was to determine the analgesic effect of preoperative acetaminophen on opioid consumption, pain scores, and side effects in patients receiving an elective abdominal hysterectomy. METHODS: A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial was performed in 76 women undergoing abdominal hysterectomy. Patients received either acetaminophen 2 g (group A) or placebo (group C) intravenously 30 min before surgery under general anesthesia. Postoperative pain was treated with patient-controlled intravenous hydromorphone 0.2 mg bolus. Hydromorphone consumption, pain scores during rest and movement, and any adverse effects were recorded at 1, 2, 6, 12, and 24 h after the operation. RESULTS: Overall hydromorphone consumption was significantly lower in group A compared with group C at all the time points (P = 0.013). The total 24-h hydromorphone consumption was reduced by 30% in group A. There was no significant difference in pain scores. The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting after the operation were significantly lower in group A than in group C (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Premedication with acetaminophen reduced hydromorphone consumption and opioid-related side effect in patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy, but did not significantly reduce pain intensity.

- Shock and disbelief – Immediately after learning about a traumatic event many people feel numb or feel like such an event can't be real.
- Speculation about what happened and information seeking – Listening to or watching news, checking the internet for updates, talking to others about what you know or have heard.
- Wanting to turn off the TV and the radio "make it all go away" for a while.
- Feelings of sadness or anger about the tragedy and discussing these feelings with others.
- Wanting to check in with loved ones, even if they are not close to the disaster or in immediate danger. It is normal to want to touch base with someone you care about.
- If you are in a role where you need to attend to or provide for others, you may not be aware of your own feelings until the immediate crisis is over.
In the hours and days following such tragedies, the shock begins to wear off and more feelings may emerge. These feelings might include anger, sadness, fear, panic or depression. It is important to share these feelings with people whom you trust. This is a time when you might seek supportive counseling from a trained counselor or therapist.
- You are experiencing memories of previous losses, traumas, or crisis.
- You are experiencing heightened feelings of anxiety, fear for your own safety, or rage.
- You are crying more than usual in response to sadness and fear.
- You are experiencing difficulty sleeping or nightmares.
- You become angry or upset more easily than typical.
- You notice a tendency to isolate yourself or withdraw.
Changes in behavior are usually significant when they interfere with usual activities, change behavior in significant ways, or persist for more than two weeks.
- Breathe – slow and deep abdominal breathing.
- Maintain regular exercise.
- Moderate intake of fats, sugar, caffeine, alcohol and smoking.
- Keep a regular sleep schedule as much as possible.
- Schedule your time and meet as many of your usual commitments and activities as possible.
- Take time to be alone in order to listen to yourself.
- Don't withdraw for an extended period of time.
- Avoid overextending yourself in your work or in new commitments.
- Be aware of your feelings and talk about them with others.
- Transfer the energy of anger into productive activities within your community.
- Ask others directly for what you need and want.
- Help others.
- Pray, meditate, spend time in nature, or do whatever suits your belief system and allows you to connect with something larger than yourself.
With Individuals:
- Listen
- Show that you hear their feelings and that you care
- Just be with them
- If appropriate, respect their desire to be alone and to grieve in their own way
- Give them time and space to grieve
- Assist people with solving immediate concerns or problems
- Help connect people with available resources
Within Your Community:
- Give blood
- Donate to your local Red Cross chapter
- Volunteer
- Find ways to contribute your unique talents and areas of expertise to your community
- Provide opportunities in classrooms or in work settings for people to talk with each other about their reactions to the recent events – right now people need a sense of community, safety, and places to talk
- Initiate or contribute to communications with others that help to create a sense of understanding of how these events can happen and what we can learn from them
Counselors are available at University Counseling Services to meet with faculty, staff, or students. Call 836-5521 or come to 2122 Old Library on the UWEC campus. Crisis appointments can be scheduled for those adversely affected by tragedies. Counseling Services is open until 7 pm on Wednesdays and until 4:30 pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

Dead Beautiful: Cult Cosmetics Brand Launches Corpse Makeovers To Glam Up The Afterlife
In what must be one of the most unusual collaborations to date, cult beauty firm Illamasqua is to partner up with London funeral directors Leverton & Sons to provide makeovers to the dead.
The British brand - whose co-managing director is Joe Corre, founder of Agent Provocateur - has joined forces with the 200-year-old family firm to offer professional cosmetic transformations to those who wish to make a statement - even in death.

Hollywood Babylon - Satanic Rituals And Demon Possession
Hollywood Babylon is a book by avant-garde filmmaker Kenneth Anger which details the sordid scandals of many famous and infamous Hollywood denizens from the 1900s to the 1950s. First published in the US in 1965, it was banned ten days later and would not be republished until 1975. Upon its second release, the New York Times said of it, "If a book such as this can be said to have charm, it lies in the fact that here is a book without one single redeeming merit."
... But the money ran out. So he wrote a book of scandal, and fittingly, his first publisher was Jean-Jacques Pauvert, the publisher of the Marquis de Sade. Weaving in the juiciest stories from pre-talkie Hollywood up to the Manson murders, Hollywood Babylon describes a Gomorrah where stars plummet as well as rise on the back of idol worship. With a wicked wit, Anger recalls Valentino's taste for submissive sex, Chaplin's misdemeanours with underage girls and a handful of starlet suicides, each one offset by a wickedly ironic choice of photographs. The New York Times called it 'a delicious box of poisoned bonbons'.
Star Night At The Cocoanut Grove (1934) Actor Leo Carillo recite Don Blanding's poem "Hollywood", taken from "Vagabond's House".
Hollywood...Hollywood... fabulous Follywood...
Celluloid Babylon, glorious, glamorous,
City delirious, frivolous, serious,
Goal of ambitions and vicious and clamorous ...

15-Year-Old's Parents Suing Urban Outfitters For $28 Million Over "Spread Eagle" T-Shirt
Clothes store Urban Outfitters is being sued for using sexually suggestive pictures of a 15-year-old model on some of its merchandise.
The 'salacious' images, taken in March 2010, showed the girl - named this morning in the New York Post as Hailey Clauson - with her legs spread in a provocative pose.
Her parents are suing photographer Jason Lee Parry, Urban and two other stores for $28million damages, claiming they did not give permission for the photographs to be used on T-shirts and other apparel.
Hailey is now 16 and has worked in New York and Paris for designers including Gucci, Donna Karan and Oscar de la Renta.
The photo shoot was conducted with the parents approval. Filed in Manhattan on Thursday, the lawsuit alleges: 'She is posed in a blatantly salacious manner with her legs spread, without a bra, revealing portions of her breasts.
'The image of Teen in a spread eagle position making her crotch area the focal point of the image may portray a child in a sexually suggestive manner and may be in violation of one or more federal and/or state laws.'

Nancy Martin is a member of NASW-NC.
Hickory Record (Hickory, NC)
BY EVAN MATSUMOTO email@example.com
HICKORY — Nancy Martin pulled a muffin tin out of the oven. The smell of perfectly golden strawberry cheesecake dough filled the kitchen. Coffee gurgled in the pot on the counter across from the cooling cakes.
Martin sat at her kitchen table, which was set for two. The sun beamed intermittently through the windows.
She moved to the house near the Catawba River about eight years ago, she said. Before moving in next door to one of her daughters, though, Martin, now 74, was living in a beach house on the North Carolina coast.
But her roots in the Western Piedmont date back more than two decades.
Martin lived and worked in several counties across the state before settling in Caldwell County. For 23 years she then worked in the Western Carolina Center, later renamed the J. Iverson Riddle Developmental Center, in Morganton. She retired in 2000 as a supervisor.
Martin laid a handful of worn papers next to her on the kitchen table. The edges were discolored and frayed. The cover read "Social Work" in handwritten, capital letters.
The papers were part of a project Martin did when she was 14 years old — a ninth-grade student at R.J. Reynolds High School in Winston-Salem. At the time, Martin said she aspired to be a nurse. But the assignment to research social work stemmed from the results of a career-guidance test.
A young Martin stumbled onto Jane Addams, a pioneer in the social work field and the second woman to ever receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
"I was already interested in people and helping people," Martin said of her fledging nursing career. Then, a lackluster chemistry class turned her away from nursing and sparked an interest in social work.
She graduated from high school in 1958 before attending UNC-Greensboro.
Martin worked in Virginia for a year after college but fled the snow and landed in Person County's Department of Social Services. When she showed up for work, she sat down in an office that she shared with the man she would eventually marry, Melvin Martin. The couple married in 1965, and four years later, Nancy Martin graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a master's degree.
In more than 30 years of social work, Martin said she has seen her share of heartbreak and frustration. But the job did not come without its successes, too.
"(I did it) just because I felt like it was my passion," she said. "I felt good most of the days I went home from helping people."
Martin squinted as she remembered a family she worked with in September 1963 — she remembered all the dates. A mother of nine kids, she said, was pregnant with a 10th child. The dad was in and out of treatment for an alcohol addiction.
The oldest child, a boy, was a good high school student. He wanted to get out of the situation to become a doctor.
So Martin, working with the Business and Professional Women's Foundation, found the boy a scholarship that paid him $500. It was enough to send him to Mars Hill University.
"I felt very good about that," Martin said.
Now in retirement, Martin is on the board of directors for the Shelter Home in Caldwell County, a haven for victims of domestic violence, rape and sexual assault. She's always looking for ways to raise money for the shelter. Most recently, they sold Christmas wreaths.
She also works to help people in need through programs at her church, First Presbyterian in Hickory.
Martin wore a trick-or-treat-themed T-shirt and dished up fresh muffins dressed in Halloween paper on that late-October morning. Her coffee was complemented by a healthy shot of creamer.
She said her three decades of working with hurting families confirmed something she knew all along.
"Most people are good," Martin said. "Everybody has a good side. And we all have our faults."

Education once created cultivated minds
Updated 2:58 am, Sunday, September 9, 2012
"A cultivated mind is the guardian genius of democracy and, when guided and controlled by virtue, is the noblest attribute of man. It is the only dictator that free men acknowledge and the only security that free men desire."
In the early days, politicians ranging from Texas' President Lamar to President Thomas Jefferson upheld liberal education and civic virtue as requirements for a free society.
Education is necessary for an intelligent electorate, and, because men are neither angels nor ruled by philosopher kings, a people lacking virtue will not remain free. However, our goals have changed.
The impetus of American education was once upon excellence. It is now upon social mobility and jobs, not "cultivated minds."
The genius of the American people is not in government but in innovation. American invention morphed easily into economic enterprise (which we called "business"); we (as other peoples might say) were a very mercantile nation who taught others productivity and salesmanship. In fact, we created the first "common market" in the U.S., transcending regionalism.
However, American higher education followed the British pattern: It strove to create cultivated minds and had little or nothing to do with jobs. The charter of my university stated that its purpose was to train "young gentlemen" for the world; how they supported themselves was no business of the college. Scholarships abounded; many students worked; but student loans were unheard of. And when I graduated, there was no office or agency for "graduate placement." The most popular major of my class was history, which had nothing to do with future employment.
Early American colleges were created to educate clergy, and until the 20th century doctors and lawyers might still be apprenticed. The Germans, of course, changed all this, with an educational system that linked science, industry, and government. Harvard was the first to follow the German system, and it became universal in the late 19th century — however, most elite colleges remained private (75 percent of all collegians in 1940 attended private schools) and continued to emphasize the classic canon of liberal arts.
The history of education is that upper-class and/or intelligent individuals have always used what was necessary or in vogue to achieve or maintain status. Chinese classic literature was until recently the key to the mandarinate. In the Roman Empire one needed mastery of Greek and Latin classics. In the Middle Ages, training for knighthood served noble families. A "first" in Greek advanced middle-class lads in the British bureaucracy. And from ancient Egypt forward, literacy, the ability to read and write, has saved many a poor soul from back-breaking labor.
The core of our educational problem today is that we don't know what we want from it, from K-12-up. The educational lobby sells social mobility, but does not succeed because unionization forces it into mediocrity. Government spends billions to create jobs and a competitive workforce but is also hamstrung by perversions of democracy that push dumbing down (No Child Left Behind) and sending unqualified people to college to study easy but economically useless subjects, leaving them with neither a trade nor the ability to think. In any case, we are not creating cultivated minds or teaching virtue.
T.R. Fehrenbach is an author and historian.

This Island Packet still has both mooring pendants fully intact. One of the two anchors however has broken free and is chafing the pendants.
Some of you may remember my rantings on various sailing boards about folks leaving anchors on their bows, in exposed mooring fields, during rough weather. If your mooring field has the fetch to build waves that can pitch the bow of your boat enough to impinge on the anchor then it can be a rude & inconsiderate practice to the boaters around you, who may get hit by your drifting boat if you do not remove your anchor when a blow is expected. Many times chafe comes from the chocks but after motoring around the anchorage the morning after this short storm I saw that most of the chafe was anchor related.
For some time now, I have been trying to capture the "moment" on film to really drive the point home about removing your anchor from the bow if a storm is coming. Some folks actually get it and can visualize the impact their anchor may have on the pendants, but many still don't.
I think this Island Packet is a prime example of "my anchors are protected by a bow sprit, I don't need to remove them" line of reasoning. This owner likely had no idea his or her boat could pitch this much in Falmouth, ME. This was not even one of the bad storms we've seen.
In my opinion any anchor than can interfere with any pendant in rough weather has no place remaining on the bow of a boat.

The network stretches from Berwick to Redcar and from South Tyneside to Hexham.
The funding on offer represents a saving of up to £3,750.

The Munich White Sausage
The Paulaner Bar and Restaurant inside the Park Inn Nevsky St. Petersburg is famous for its authentic Bavarian dishes and specialties. One of the most popular dishes on the menu is the Munich white sausage.
The Munich white sausage or Weisswurst is a traditional Bavarian delicacy made from very finely minced veal and fresh pork back bacon. It is usually flavored with parsley, lemon, mace, onions, ginger and cardamom, although there are several different variations of the Weisswurst.
Weisswurst is served in a large bowl often containing the water they have been cooked in, to keep the sausages warm. It is traditionally eaten as a snack between breakfast and lunch.
When it comes to eating this unusual dish, the trick is in removing the skin. The traditional method, called 'zuzeln', involves cutting or biting one end of the sausage open, the meat is then sucked out of the casing. An alternative, more popular and less messy method involves cutting the sausage lengthways and simply removing the filling with a fork.
A Weisswurst is usually served with a soft pretzel and a Bavarian style sweet mustard, don't forget your wheat beer as well!
Have you tried Weisswurst? Let us know by commenting in the box below or sending us a tweet @ParkInn.
