CEOs are faking it. Bless them -- and pity them -- for doing so.
An interesting wire story this week quoted Robert Sutton, a Stanford management science and engineering professor, at an industry conference saying, "In just about every study I've ever seen … the amount of control a leader has over the company is exaggerated," adding, "If you look at these Fortune 500 companies where they get paid a fortune, they have the least impact."
In other words, crediting a CEO for a company's success or blaming him or her for its failure is fundamentally wrong because it assumes that the captain actually controls the rudder of the great corporate ship. The CEO is being mistakenly honored for directing actions and events for which he or she was only a marginally a participant.
As comforting as this sounds -- see, those big shots aren't the Masters of the Universe they think they are! -- I think it is fundamentally wrong. Having spent my professional career around CEOs, and having known just about every major figure in the high-tech world, I have no doubt that CEOs have a profound effect upon the fates of their companies. Not in detail: any CEO who attempts to micromanage every decision made by his employees is a damn fool and should be fired.
But in the big picture it is another matter. For 30 years I have watched strong, decisive, and thoughtful executives lead their companies to glory. And I've watched weak, indecisive and self-absorbed CEOs kill great companies large and small. Many of those successful companies had second-rate employees and products; and many of those dying or dead companies had terrific technologies and smart, hard-working workers and managers. In the first case, the CEO made the company and its employees better than they were, in the second, the CEO screwed the employees and the marketplace.
Intel and Apple Followed Different Leaders
As an example, consider Andrew Grove, who took a good company, Intel, and turned it into a great one -- all the while navigating a 20-year minefield that included vicious competition, an unpredictable technology, government investigations and a series of disastrous mistakes (the Pentium Bug, letting Motorola get ahead, etc.). Now compare him to John Sculley, who took a great company, Apple, with a great technology and market leadership and led it aimlessly around for a decade until it was a pathetic also-ran.
Were Intel employees that great? No, but they got better as time went on; partly because they got used to being winners and partly because Intel was able to attract ever-better talent (which may be the mistake people like Sutton make when investigating after the fact). And were Apple employees that lousy? On the contrary, they were some of the smartest people in Silicon Valley -- until demoralization and departures sapped their energies. The only real difference between the fading Apple of the Sculley era and the red-hot Apple of the second Jobs era two years later was the CEO.
Frankly, the counterexamples to Sutton's claim are everywhere. To my mind, the most powerful is that of the great return at HP, when an aged Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard returned to the company they founded (based on a single memo from a secretary!) and almost overnight restored it from a sclerotic, tired, over-bureaucratized old corporation to the fastest-growing big company in history -- all with the same people and (at the beginning, at least) the same products.
So, am I then claiming that CEOs aren't faking it when they claim to be leading their companies? On the contrary, my experience tells me that they are faking it all the time. And that it is a good thing that they do -- at least for the rest of us.
Masking Sheer Terror
Being around CEOs a lot, I get the chance to see them off the job, away from the public eye, and, occasionally, even when they take off their masks. And I can tell you that most of them are utterly terrified. They know fully well that the decisions they make put at risk the careers and lives of thousands of their employees -- and that most of the time they will have to make those decisions based on incomplete, even false, information, in an unpredictable marketplace, against ruthless competitors. Many of them don't feel smart enough for the job, most of them don't feel experienced enough, and all of them don't feel wise enough.
But they also know, almost instinctively, that to admit any of these doubts would not only be career suicide, but, ironically, the most irresponsible decision they could possibly make for the organization. We all know that the big boss is a human being, complete with human foibles and fears -- we even laugh over anecdotes underscoring that fact -- but God help us all if the CEO actually comes out from behind the pinstripes to be revealed as a scared rabbit who is not really sure if the next big company initiative is actually going to work. After all, if the boss isn't sure the damn thing is doable, why should we be?
Chaos ensues. Everybody suddenly is backing away, rehearsing their excuses for failure ("Hey, even the CEO wasn't behind it."). Nothing gets done. The stock price falls; customers gravitate toward competitors run by more (apparently) self-assured leaders, Chapter 11, big layoffs, career-ending profile in the Wall Street Journal ("CEO Doubt Capsizes XYZ Corp."), eternal humiliation in a Harvard Business School case study, retirement to a gated community where everybody finds an excuse not to attend your cocktail parties, oblivion, death with an embarrassing obituary.
No, no. Much better to always look confident, stand by your decisions and look your employees/customers/shareholders/directors in the eye with the confidence of a person who can already see the future … even if it means vomiting in your expensive bathroom sink every night at 3 a.m.
Faking Professional and Personal Life
And it doesn't end with the job either. When I say CEOs fake it all of the time, I'm talking 24/7/365.
Let's face it, we all fake it -- every time at the office we pretend to enjoy a level of competence we aren't sure we have, every time we act happy when we're disappointed in the progress of our daily lives, every time we lecture our kids on responsible adulthood, every time we pretend to be happy to see people we privately hate. In a sense, a certain low-grade hypocrisy is the glue that holds society together. But for most CEOs, this hypocrisy is increased by an order of magnitude: every moment is like meeting your date's parents on prom night, or a crucial job interview, or a college admission essay. The wrong word, look or act might bring down on you the vengeance of the market, your employees or the SEC.
Sound like Hell? Well, it probably is, except for the nice toys and the (occasional) feelings of real power. The one piece of good news is that you can grow into it. Here, in the aftermath of Freud, Watson & Crick, we tend to think that our natures are fixed by childhood and chromosomes. But, as great men and women have always shown, if you play a role long enough you can become it. That fake can turn real.
But until that happens, you can never let down your guard. Even if you want to, too many other people have a stake in not letting you do so.
I once interviewed the CEO/Chairman of a major electronics firm, a man and a company you know well. Twenty minutes into the interview, I asked him, "How do you possibly manage to balance running a multibillion dollar corporation and being the father of young children?"
A look of despair appeared in the man's eyes. The mask of the cocky, outspoken Prince of Silicon Valley momentarily slipped from his face. "I can't," he whispered. "I just can't do it."
At that instant, the corporate PR director, who been watching the monitor, stormed onto the set and blocked the camera. "Mr. X has to leave right now for another appointment," she announced. Still blocking the camera, she helped the slumped executive out of his chair and marched him away.
This work is the opinion of the columnist and in no way reflects the opinion of ABC News.
Michael S. Malone, once called "the Boswell of Silicon Valley," most recently was editor at large of Forbes ASAP magazine. He has covered Silicon Valley and high-tech for more than 20 years, beginning with the San Jose Mercury-News as the nation's first daily high-tech reporter. His articles and editorials have appeared in such publications as The Wall Street Journal, The Economist and Fortune, and for two years he was a columnist for The New York Times. He has hosted two national PBS shows: "Malone," a half-hour interview program that ran for nine years, and in 2001, a 16-part interview series called "Betting It All: The Entrepreneurs." Malone is best known as the author of a dozen books. His latest book, a collection of his best newspaper and magazine writings, is called "The Valley of Heart's Delight."

Since I heard bits and pieces of rumors and now seeing the final, I think the girls wore the bellies and interacted with the families and babies before getting them for the 3 days. That would make more sense then they just dumped them off with strangers.

Building Inspection -Why Do You Need One?
What is a Building Inspection? A building inspection is an examination by qualified professionals which identifies faults and hazards in a property. These can include anything from maintenance and safety issues to serious structural faults or damage. Often the problems identified are not immediately visible or apparent to the untrained eye. Special equipment may be used to gather more information. After the inspection, a report is provided which details the issues. This allows home owners and potential buyers to make informed decisions.Read more

An Elopement That PUln't Occur Another
Secret Marriage.
Karl H. Kurb and MissMyrcella
Campbell were united in marriage at
St. Joseph parsonage last evening by
Rev. Father Mackin.
In this simple announcement there
is nothing remarkably strange, but
from events that have transpired
within the past few days, they no
doubt fully realize the fact that "the
course of true love never did run
smooth." For some time past the
young people have been possessed of
that one absorbing idea that tney
had been intended for each other, but
objections being raised by Miss
Campbell s family on account of re
ligious reasons, the happy termina
tion of their little romance had never
been consummated. They had
waited patiently for the day when
the srirl's folks would no longer ob
ject to the union, but like the letter,
it never came.

A few days ago the young people
decided that the only thing that re
mained for them to do was to elope,
and they accordingly laid their plans
that way. Everything was gotten in
readiness, but on the evening that
Miss Campbell left her home on her
romantic trip she was shadowed bv
members of her family and when she
met her lover the pair were immedi

that if the father's consent w as asked
everything would probably be all

the following day. but was met with
a -tl-it refusal in no unmistakable
terms. 1 hen the couple procured a
special dispensation from Bishop

and were wedded as stated, afterward
going to the parental home on Elev

riage occurred while the father.

night, and when he came home this
morning and found that he had not
been let into the secret until it was
all over, he started in to break up
housekeeping. A lively time about

The Request of Physicians to Have the Fu
neral Ceremonies Suspended Creates a
Sensation Brothers of the Deceased
Fear That All Was Not RightsThe Coro
ner Allows the Funeral to Proceed but
the Hody Will Probably be Exhumed.
Considerable of a sensation was
stirred up in the city late yester
day afternoon, growing out of the
fact that two well known physicians
had sought to have the funeral of
the late William E. Wynes interfered
with until a post mortem examina
tion could he made to satisfy reports
that had become current to the ef
fect that he had not died from nat
ural causes. Drs. C. Truesdale and
J. F. Myers called on Coroner David
Hawes about 1:15 yesterday after
noon and asked that the latter order
a stay of the funeral ceremonies un
til a post mortem exaniinat ion could
be conducted.
No Interference With the Funeral.
Owing to the fact that it was so
near the funeral hour and also that
the wife of deceased and her mother
had signilied their intent ions of stren
uously objecting to any such proceed
ings, the coroner concluded not to
interfere with the funeral arrange
ments. He. -however, advised the
physicians that if it was necessary
lie would issue an order to have the
body exhumed and in this way any
scene that might ensue from an in
terference with the funeral could be
'avoided. It was thereupon agreed to
allow the matter to rest until later
ami the funeral occurred at the hour
as announced
Why An Kxaiiiiiia ion is Desired.
The facts that led up to the action
of the doctors in w ishing the coroner
lo order an investigation are of a
somewhat sensational character and
are understood to emanate from the
brothers of t lie deceased, who have
not been satisfied in their own minds
astothe real -cause of his death.
Dr. Truesdale hail the casein charge.
Drs. Bernhardt and Meyers being
called in for consultation. At that
time peritonitis symptoms had de
veloped and it was from this that h
died. 1 he brothers of Mr. Wynes. as
stated, were not satistied as to
what had led up to his death
and freely expressed themselves as
i feeling t hat wav. Their convictions
were strengthened in this from tin
fact that Mr. Wvnes had told them
himself as thev claim that he had
suspicions that his sickness was not
due to natural causes. Inmediatcly
after his death there was talk ot a
post mortem, that being advised by
the attending physicians in order
that everyone might be better satis
fied and the cause of his death estab
lished beyond a doubt. Mrs. Wynes
however, was strongly opposed to
any such measures, as washer moth
er. Slay Yet le F.xhmiied.
In deference to the wishes of the
widow no stringent measures were
taken, but the doctors still feel that
an examination should be made, and
it is not at all improbable that an or
der will be issued by Coroner Hawes
to exhume the body so that an exam
ination can be made.
It is understood that formal appli
cation is to be made to the coroner
for the postmortem yet t his evening.

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
Hey everyone! I hope your weekends are going well! Currently I'm headed back to Chicago after a great evening in Denver with my friend, Maddie.
On Thursday, my last full day in Colorado Springs, my mom and I decided to go to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. Yes, it's actually up on the side of a mountain! It's definitely a hilly zoo, but a lot of fun!
My favorite exhibit by far was the first one we saw: the giraffes! There were probably about 20 giraffes in this enclosure with a walkway going through it. You could buy lettuce to feed them, so they came right up to you!
It was very cool! I was a little sad though that the elephant exhibit was under construction, they're one of my favorite animals.
By the way, check out the view from the highest point we were at the zoo, I'm pretty sure you can see Kansas from here:
Another one of my favorites was the River Otters! There were three in the exhibit and were playing around the whole time! They were completely adorable and definitely showing off!
Haha and of course I had to take a picture of the Moose, another favorite animal of mine:
The last place we stopped was the Ape House. There were a bunch of smaller monkeys, but I was drawn to the Orangutans and the Gorrillas. I stood there wishing that I could just quit law school and go work at an ape sanctuary. They completely fascinate me – they are so smart and so much like people.
My mom and I both really enjoyed our time at the zoo, although we did have some issues finding our way around because there weren't many signs, and some of the exhibits up the side of the mountain were so full of foliage it was impossible to see whoever was living in there!
For dinner, my mom and I decided to try out a place that I had spotted during my last time here: Coquette's Bistro and Bakery. It's an entirely gluten free restaurant in Manitou Springs. We got there and parked a ways from the restaurant, so we got to walk a bit through the area. I went here with Maddie in January and fell in love!
We had chosen the restaurant because we knew it served crepes and my mom LOVES crepes! I was also pretty excited since I hadn't had one in ages!
We both ended up ordering the Tula, which was a Mediterranean inspired crepe:
chicken, roasted red peper, kalamata olives, zucchini, spinach, feta and tzatziki
We LOVED it. I was amazing. Actually amazing, we couldn't stop raving about it! All the flavors together were just perfect. We both killed our crepes and left full and happy! Of course, not to happy to get a little fro yo for my last night!
It was a great last day in Colorado Springs, I was sad to be leaving!
What's your favorite animal to see at the zoo?
Are you a crepe fan? Sweet or savory?
Tracy Koeppen permalinkMay 26, 2012 12:24 pm
Have you seen the movie Chimpanzee? You would love it if you like apes. It was fascinating!
May 26, 2012 12:54 pm
That crepe (minus the olives) sounds like EXACTLY what I would love. YUMM. Have a safe trip!!
factsandflax permalinkMay 26, 2012 3:57 pm
Looks like fun! My favorite zoo animals are the penguins 🙂
May 27, 2012 12:00 am
the first time i had crepes was with butter and sugar! wow now i cant imagine eating that haha. i would fill it with fruit and honey 🙂
May 27, 2012 2:50 am
First time I had crepes it was in a sandwich, loved it!!! But they're so delicious wrapped in chocolate and strawberries as well, I'd take both sweet and savory!
Looks like you had an amazing trip!!! 🙂
May 27, 2012 7:47 pm
I love visiting the zoo but my allergies have been too extreme to actually enjoy the visits 😦 You look like you had a great time!!
Crepe lovin' is in my blood! Crepes are a Russian tradition…especially around Easter time (known as Maslenitsa) when families make piles of them to share with friends and family. Sweet and savory – I roll both ways 🙂

For making your restaurant a food empire, you need to pick one from the types of franchising available for your restaurant.
National brands, like Sagar Ratna, follow the franchising model for expansion and has established as successful brands in south Indian cuisine all over India. International brand, like MC Donald's, is also there in the international networks by building off the platform of their franchising techniques. Here's a list of the many different ownership opportunities franchising offers.
- Master Franchising: A master franchise is a franchising contract in which the master franchisor (the owner of the restaurant) hands over the control of the franchising activities in a specified territory to a person or entity, called the 'master franchisee'. And then, with respect to regional issues, the franchisee will assume the role of the franchisor, but they typically will not own or operate the franchise.
- Single-unit franchising: Single-unit franchisees are typically 'owner operators', i.e. in addition to being the owner, you have to work as the primary operator or the manager for your restaurant. Single-unit franchising, also known as direct franchising, is rarely offered for more established franchise brands.
- Multi-Unit Franchising: Multi-unit franchising is a type where a franchisee purchases more than one franchise from a franchisor. It is a very beneficial franchising technique because if it works it will gain both the franchisor and the franchisee.
- Area Development Franchising: Area development franchising is similar to multi-unit franchising. The only difference is that this type of franchising typically involves a greater number of units encompassing a larger territorial area. Area developers have the opportunity to raise brand awareness quite rapidly in a given locale.
- Company-owned and franchising: The representative-office-and-franchisee model is very similar to the franchising model. The key difference here is that the international retailer establishes its own representative office in the country and helps the franchisee in setting up business. The representative office has a team to work closely with the franchisee and is responsible for creating the brand image and consumers' connect with the brand.

Songs of Faith & Love
- Artist: Tim Purdum
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 2/22/2005
|your cart is empty
Tim Purdum has sung, played guitar, and written music since his childhood days in Cortland, Ohio. From his early years, he listened to the folk sounds of James Taylor and Paul Simon. His earliest works are love songs, ranging from the profound to the mildly hilarious. After pursuing two degrees in music which took him from Ohio to Boston, where his music began to take on more serious issues of spirituality and social conscience, Tim finally settled with his wife in Cedar Falls, Iowa, where he continues to compose and perform for local audiences. His day job is teaching music to elementary and middle school students in the public schools, which he believes enriches his music-making abilities even more. This is Tim's first CD, a compilation of songs written over the last 15 years. 'Spirit Prayer', 'Moments of Magic', and 'Strong Enough' were written specifically for the congregation at his local Unitarian-Universalist Society, where Tim is a regular performer. 'Moon Canon' and 'The Eagle' are rounds written for his students at school, but make wonderful works for adults as well! Most of the other songs are devoted to his wife, Suzanne, who has been his inspiration for over a decade.

Motorsports and American Culture: From Demolition Derbies to NASCAR by Mark D. Howell and John D. Miller
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1442230967 | 248 pages | PDF | 2,3 MB
Soon after the first automobiles were introduced in the United States, auto racing became a reality. Since that time, motorsports have expanded to include drag racing, open wheel racing, rallying, demolition derbies, stock car racing, and more. Motorsports have grown to such an extent that NASCAR is now the second most watched professional sport in America, behind only football. But motorsports are about much more than going fast and finishing first. These events also reflect our culture, our society, our values, and our history.
In , Mark D. Howell and John D. Miller bring together essays that examine the relevancy of motorsports to American culture and history, from the late nineteenth century to the present. Addressing a wide spectrum of motorsports-such as stock car racing, demolition derbies, land speed record pursuits, and even staged train wrecks-the essays highlight the social and cultural implications of contemporary and historical moments in these sports. Topics covered include gender roles in motorsports, hot rods and the creation of fan and participant identities, the appeal of demolition derbies, the globalization of motorsports, the role of moonshine in stock car history, the economic relationship between NASCAR and its corporate sponsors, and more.
Offering the most thorough study of motorsports to date from a diverse pool of disciplines and subjects, Motorsports and American Culture will appeal to motorsports and automobile enthusiasts, as well as those interested in American history, popular culture, sports history, and gender studies.

Living isn't cheap, but with these tips you can easily save money on most expenses.
Save by shopping clockwise
Shop clockwise and save big dollars at the grocery store. Most shopper traffic in grocery stores naturally flows counterclockwise. But when customers move clockwise, according to research by Sorensen Associates, they spend less time in the aisles and, therefore, less money.

F&A bed - set for 2 kids
Do your children share a single room? The younger one would like to have a bunk bed and the older needs a teen bed already? Then the Rafa-kids F&A set is for you. These two modern beds are in adult size and can be used for many years.
The F bunk bed is recommended for children from 6 year old, the A teen bed for children from age 8.
The F bunk bed is a great space saver and A teen bed fits perfectly underneath it. Children can enjoy the bed during the day because there is enough comfort space under the bunk bed to sit on it, read and to use the bunk bed wall to hang some personal accessories. This bed can also be located somewhere else in the room, leaving space under the bunk bed for other children's activities. When the A teen bed is standing under the bunk bed, the two ladders provide extra protection from falling, making it possible to use even for younger kids. The bed is designed for an older child, who doesn't need site protection any more, so it can stand apart too. A&F set for two children is modern, functional and elegant furniture, which you can enjoy for many years.
For more information about each of the beds – please have a look at the individual descriptions:
Designer: Agata & Arek Seredyn
Brand: Rafa-kids
Country: Netherlands
Material: 100% Finnish Birch plywood (21mm thick)
Colours : natural – whitewash – dark chocolate – white
Availability : IN STOCK
price for our non EU clients without 21% VAT : 1.933€

Tom Corbett -- as we thought he might -- is planting himself right in the middle of the health care debate, joining a suit with other GOP attorneys general to block the legislation.
Republican attorneys general in 11 states warned that lawsuits will be filed to stop the federal government overstepping its constitutional powers and usurping states' sovereignty.
States are concerned the burden of providing healthcare will fall on them without enough federal support.
Ten of the attorneys general plan to band together in a collective lawsuit on behalf of Alabama, Florida, Nebraska, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Washington.
. . .The Republican attorney generals say the reforms infringe on state powers under the Constitution's Bill of Rights.

: Leaves of Grass by DeliriousforSirius
The world spun around me as I thought back to the last moment I'd been alone with him, the last time I'd kissed him, and sobbed. I was lost without him. I could barely keep up with school; fear and loneliness overwhelmed me constantly, along with the invariable fight against the Death Eaters that had overrun our school, and the rest of the wizarding world. I had never fought alone before.

I understand why people in St. Louis are a little bit bummed. I get it. Tony La Russa gave the Cardinals not one, but two, World Series titles in his illustrious decade and a half run as Redbirds manager.
The team even retired his number along with the likes of Stan Musial, Bob Gibson and Ozzie Smith.
This franchise gave Tony so much. So it's only natural to be disappointed in his decision to leave his cap blank when he's inducted into the Hall of Fame this summer. It's almost like the love St. Louis and the Cardinals gave to Tony was not returned.
Sorry, but I'm not buying that.
If anyone has ever paid any attention to Tony La Russa over the years - in baseball and out of baseball - it's quite clear that he's quite possibly the most loyal person you'll find. And when you were the manager for three teams in your career - White Sox, A's, Cardinals - that's a lot of loyalty to give.
So just because the majority of Tony's Hall of Fame career took place in St. Louis while wearing a Cardinals cap, that doesn't change the fact he led two other ball clubs during his career. And both, understandably, hold a very special place in his heart.
The most difficult one for us to understand is the White Sox. Tony managed in Chicago from 1979 until getting fired during the 1986 season. He was named AL Manager of the Year in '83 but never advanced to the World Series, let alone won one.
But here again, Tony is loyal. He'll never forget being given his first opportunity to manage. The White Sox gave him that. He believes if it weren't for that break he wouldn't be standing where he is today. And that's preparing to give a Hall of Fame speech in Cooperstown.
The A's, of course, were different. The 69-year old was AL Manager of the Year twice while with Oakland and led the A's to three consecutive World Series (1988-1990), winning in '89. He had a terrific run out by the bay.
Still, though, none of that matches up with what Tony did in St. Louis. He was NL Manager of the Year in 2002, he went to three World Series and won two of them. He even had his number retired.
But ranking what accomplishments he had at each stop isn't enough to warrant choosing one team over the others in Cooperstown. For Tony La Russa, each stop was special for its own special reasons. And that's not something any individual can possibly understand.
Tony is the only one.

Last week I despaired when yet another article insulting the Romance industry appeared in New York Magazine. This week I am delighted to offer two antidotes, one that is not 100 percent perfect, but another that comes very very close.
The occasion for these articles is the publication of Nora Roberts' 200th book, a Romantic Suspense titled The Witness, released
The Wall Street Journal, of all publications, published an article about Nora Roberts, commemorating her 200th book, The Witness, released April 17. Of course, they couldn't help giving it a less-than-serious title, Keeping The 'Noraholics' Happy. And describing Nora as having "a gravelly smoker's voice," which was what the initial male commenters latched onto.
But, all in all, it does give credit to Nora's creative genius, her work ethic, and the incredible achievement of having written 200 books (up to 204 now, actually).
The near perfect article is from The Washington Post. This article lets the essence of Nora shine through and it speaks respectfully of her work and her fans. What is even better, Nora explains the appeal of romance without apology to what she terms "the literati." I don't think I've ever read an article in the mainstream press that has been content to write about romance without making some kind of disparaging comment.
The comments to this article are mostly very positive and I'm touched by readers' explanations of their love of Nora's books.
I have the good fortune to be acquainted with Nora through Washington Romance Writers and from being a friend of one of her good friends. I admire her enormously. She is a strong, intelligent woman to whom family is of primary importance in her life. In addition, she has a solid sense of community and has, I dare say, been a boon to Boonsboro! In the 2010 Giving Back Fund list, Nora was second only to Oprah Winfrey for celebrity charitable donations; in the 2011 list, she's number 5.
Nora is also very unpretentious about her work. She doesn't talk about "muses" and doesn't believe in writer's block. Like any other job, she just shows up and writes. She's a natural storyteller who has honed her craft and who listens confidently to her creative mind.
She is also genuinely appreciative of her fans. I've been lucky enough to participate in book signings at Nora's husband's bookstore, Turn the Page Bookstore in Boonsboro, like the one described in the Washington Post article. This photo is from one of those signing (Left to Right Pam Palmer in the back, me, Nora's husband Bruce, Nora, Michelle Willingham in 2007). Fans arrive in buses and the lines are so long people are given tickets to get in. The signings last for hours and Nora never hurries anyone along. She greets fans as faithful friends (some of them are!), willingly smiles for endless photographs, and signs totebags, Tshirts and whatever fans wish her to sign. This part of the reason fans love her and are loyal.
But the main reason are the books. Nora never disappoints and always delivers a good story with great characters and a happy ending. It's a plus that she is a great person as well.
So, congratulations to Nora for her wonderful achievement of 200 published books with more to come!
What Nora book is your favorite? Which one was your first?

I love Kiwi-Strawberry Spinach Salad! Spinach, strawberries, kiwis and almonds covered with a delicious dressing make for one mouthwatering and healthy salad recipe. The salad dressing includes both poppy seeds and sesame seeds along with a raspberry vinegar, green onions and other seasonings that make it really excellent in taste and a perfect accompaniment to this delicious salad.
I have several spinach salad recipes–all with a little different spin to them or different ingredients in the salad dressings. I enjoy them all because I love spinach in salad.
This Taste of Home recipe is one of our favorites and I hope it will become one of yours, too. The flavors and texture are marvelous, the recipe is low calorie, gluten free, and healthy. This is a great salad for company but it is one I make on a regular basis since I practically live on salads.
I initially posted this recipe in June 2012 the first month this food blog began. I didn't know much about cameras or positioning food so it shows pleasantly back then.
So I recently remade this recipe and took a few pictures to upgrade this recipe. If you're looking for a great fruity salad recipe for company, potlucks, or just family meals, then give Kiwi-Strawberry Spinach Salad a try sometime soon. It's wonderful.
Kiwi-Strawberry Spinach Salad is a beautiful and festive salad that's wonderful for holiday meals and special occasions.
This is what it looks like with the homemade dressing poured over top.
Kiwi-Strawberry Spinach Salad is so quick and easy to make up. Even the salad dressing only takes 5 minutes to make!
Here's what I did.
These are the four ingredients needed for the salad portion of this recipe.
Place spinach leaves in a salad bowl. Wash, hull, and slice 1 lb. of strawberries. Layer on top of the spinach.
Slice about 5 or 6 kiwi fruit into 1/4″ pieces. It's about 4 slices per kiwi. Sprinkle almonds over top.
Make up the salad dressing: these are the ingredients you will need. I substituted honey for the sugar and it turned out very well.
Toss salad dressing ingredients in a blender for about 5-10 seconds to emulsify.
Kiwi-Strawberry Spinach Salad is a great salad to make up for company. It not only looks lovely but everyone loves it!
This is what the salad looked like with the dressing on top.
Here's a plate of the salad before the dressing has been poured over top.
Kiwi-Strawberry Spinach Salad is one your family is sure to love. I've taken it to potlucks before and everyone loves it.
Here's the recipe.

When economic times are tough, people step forward to help — at least in Lawrence.
There is no shortage of food donations and no shortage of volunteers willing to help with Thursday's annual Thanksgiving meal at the Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen, organizers said.
"We're very impressed. It's like the community is being a big family for a lot of people," said Herman Leon, vice president of the LINK Board of Directors.
Individuals, church and student groups and other organizations stepped forward to donate and help, Leon said.
LINK is prepared to serve 550 traditional Thanksgiving meals at no cost, including 275 for the homebound elderly and disabled who will have meals delivered to them. Maceli's, 1031 N.H., is cooking 35 22-pound turkeys which were donated over the past year.
Some 150 volunteers will work two-hour shifts throughout the day doing everything from decorating tables, serving and delivering meals and cleaning up.
"I get turned on by all the calls we've had and the amount of interest," Leon said.
LINK's kitchen and dining room is located in the basement of the First Christian Church, 221 W. 10th St. It is known most of the year for serving meals to the city's homeless, but not all of those who show up are homeless, especially on Thanksgiving.
"If you can come in and behave and act like a human being we're happy to serve you," Leon said. "We're not just for the homeless. We try to treat every guest as you would a guest in your home."
Thanksgiving meals will be served from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. The dining room will open at 11:30 a.m. for people who want to come in an have a cup of coffee, Leon said.
LINK opened to the public on Valentine's Day, Feb. 14, 1985. Its first meal was served to six people in the basement of St. John's Catholic Church. It moved to its present location in 1986.
LINK serves meals from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

Nick Greer Amplification
The Greer Mini Sweetback Driver is a Class A single transistor boost pedal. This pedal has a lot of volume boost on hand, and can drive the front end of an amplifier very hard. The control on the outside of the pedal is a boost control, at its lowest setting, the pedal is at unity gain, and in some ways, acts like a buffer. As the knob is rotated to higher positions, the pedal begins to breathe more fire. As the control is rotated, hissing and popping will occur, as the control is actually adjusting the bias point of the transistor, as a variable resistor between the emitter of the transistor and ground. These pedals are hand made, hand finished, and feature true bypass switching that has compensation to reduce the risk of popping. The Greer Mini Sweetback Driver requires a power supply (the user must provide a power supply--the pedal DOES NOT come with one), as a battery will not fit inside of the pedal. The Greer Mini Sweetback Driver uses very little power, and requires a center pin negative power supply, like most Boss or Ibanez style pedals use.
Last but not least, this pedal features top quality components, including a premium footswitch, alpha potentiometer, high quality jacks, a bright blue mini LED, and extremely high quality solid core wire. Each pedal is hand built, one at a time, with attention to detail and top quality work. We hope you like our work.

The last time Rick Pitino had a slice of humble pie it was delivered through his umbilical cord. That's a compliment.
Pitino is a New Yorker to the core — cocky, opinionated, brash. And his teams play that way.
His teams — the Boston University Terriers (made the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 24 years in 1983), the Providence Friars (went to the Final Four in 1987), the Kentucky Wildcats (won it all in 1996) and the Louisville Cardinals (have a real chance to cut down the nets in Atlanta) — don't back down.
These Cardinals, the ones who shared the Big East Conference regular season title with Georgetown and Marquette, are in attack mode from the minute they get off the bus. They were the preseason pick to win the Big East this season and many had them winning it all.
It's exactly where Pitino likes his teams to be. And it's exactly where the Cardinals are.
The have won seven straight games by an average of 17.4 points. It would have been 11 straight had they not lost that five OT game, 104-101, at Notre Dame in which Pitino nearly went Hannibal Lecter on Russ Smith.
"We kind of ran into a buzz saw today,'' Notre Dame coach Mike Brey said Saturday after the Cards avenged that loss with a 73-57 rout.
That buzz saw is about to cut up the Garden. Louisville is our pick to win the last Big East Conference Tournament as we know it. Next year Syracuse and Pittsburgh will move to the ACC, with Louisville not far behind. Connecticut is not eligible for this year's tournament because it failed to meet NCAA academic requirements.
The Cards (26-5, 14-4 Big East) shared the regular season title with Georgetown (24-5), which earned the No. 1 based on the tiebreaker, and Marquette (23-7), which is the No. 3 seed.
Louisville, the No. 2 seed, opens play Thursday night against the winner of the St. John's-Villanova game. The Cards have all it takes to be the first team since Syracuse in 2005-06 to repeat as Big East champ.
In Peyton Siva, Louisville has the most precious of March commodities — a senior point guard. In Gorgui Dieng, the Cards have one of the rarest commodities in college basketball — a legitimate big man. And in Russ Smith, they have a scorer who can take over a game.
Expect form to hold. Georgetown, which has won 12 of 13, should advance to the title game, surviving a physical brawl with fourth-seeded Pitt. The Cardinals have too much offense for Marquette, which they beat 70-51 during the regular season.
That will set up an intriguing final between a Louisville team that will press and try to push the tempo and a Georgetown squad that can filibuster with the best politicians. The difference will be Louisville has more offensive options.
Louisville will leave New York with a No. 1 seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. It made it to the Final Four last season, losing to eventual national champ Kentucky. Pitino knew that night he had one of his vintage attack teams poised for a run the following season.
"If we stay humble and remember what got us here — our defense and unselfish play on offense — we can be a very good team,'' Pitino said after the season-ending loss to Kentucky. "We can do something special.''
How's that for humble?
Record: 24-5, 14-4
Coach: John Thompson III
Star: F Otto Porter Jr. (16.4 PPG)
Flaw: Hoyas shoot 68 percent from the line, but we're being picky.
Skinny: Winners of 12 of their last 13, the Hoyas are the Swiss watch of the Big East — precision play and pace makes opponents feel as if the clock in their heads is about to go, "Boom!" Porter Jr. can take over a game.
Odds: 5-2.
Record: 26-5, 14-4
Coach: Rick Pitino
Star: C Gorgui Dieng (10.3 PPG)
Flaw: For a coach who loves the 3 almost as much as his white suit, the Cardinals only shoot 32 percent from behind the arc.
Skinny: The double bye should help Louisville, which thrives off of its pressure defense. Picked to win the league and having won seven straight, the Cards wear the bull's-eye.
Odds: 3-1
Record: 23-7, 14-4
Coach: Buzz Williams
Star: G Vander Blue (14.4 PPG)
Flaw: The Golden Eagles are blind as bats from behind the arc, making just 29.9 percent of their 3-pointers, which allows teams to pack it in.
Skinny: A deep physical team that likes to muck it up. Ten players average at least 10 minutes. Not pretty, but the Big East has never been a beauty contest.
Odds: 15-1
Record: (23-8, 11-7)
Coach: Jim Boeheim
Star: F C.J. Fair (14.5 PPG)
Flaw: The Orange have three post players 6-foot-9 or taller. All have entered witness protection.
Skinny: 'Cuse is turning into one of the league's biggest disappointments, having lost 4 of 5. Can it get its mind right in its last Big East Conference Tournament?
Odds: 35-1
Record: 24-7, 12-6
Coach: Jamie Dixon
Star: C Steven Adams (7.1 PPG)
Flaw: Warning — the surgeon general says watching Pitt on offense can cause permanent eye damage.
Skinny: Panthers are very similar to Marquette but even tougher on defense, allowing just 54.9 points per game, 5th in the nation. If you can't get UFC tickets, watch Pitt.
Odds: 40-1
Record: 19-12, 10-8
Coach: Jay Wright
Star: G Ryan Arcidiacono (12.2 PPG)
Flaw: Might sound crazy, but this team is still finding itself. Since league play began the 'Cats haven't won or lost more than three straight. They need four to win it all.
Skinny: With wins over Syracuse, Louisville and Georgetown, the 'Cats must be thinking, "Why not us?" Um, because they lost to Columbia.
Odds: 50-1
Record: 23-8, 11-7
Coach: Mike Brey
Star: C Jack Cooley (13.6 PPG)
Flaw: Sometimes Cooley, despite being 6-foot-9, 246 pounds, becomes David Blaine and disappears.
Skinny: The Irish, averaging 17.5 assists a game, are so pretty to watch they can almost make you forget where you left the SI swimsuit issue. They take great care of the ball, too.
Odds: 50-1
Record: 17-13, 9-9
Coach: Ed Cooley
Star: G Bryce Cotton (19.6 PPG)
Flaw: Shortest bench in NYC, including bus shelters.
Skinny: For a program that has not known winning of late, the Friars might have turned the corner, winning 7 of 9. Remarkably resilient, the Friars opened 2-7 in league play, suffering more injuries than the Yankees.
Odds: 75-1
Record: 21-10, 9-9
Coach: Mick Cronin
Star:G Sean Kilpatrick (17.3 PPG)
Flaw: If the Bearcats can't get into the open court, they need a sherpa to find the basket. And, they see dead people at the foul line (64.4 percent).
Skinny: With Kilpatrick, Cashmere Wright, JaQuon Parker, Cincy presents matchup problems. Opened the season 12-0 before expectations weighed heavy.
Odds: 75-1
Record: 16-14, 8-10
Coach: Steve Lavin
Star: F JaKarr Sampson (14.9 PPG)
Flaw: Without guard D'Angelo Harrison, the Johnnies need Spock to remove the force field around the 3-point line.
Skinny: The tournament is on St. John's home court, but the four-game losing streak is the longest of any team coming in. Ridiculously athletic. Remarkably inconsistent.
Odds: 125-1
11-20, 2-16
Coach: Oliver Purnell
Star: G Brandon Young (16.8 PPG)
Flaw: They just don't know how to win, having lost 15 of their last 16 league games.
Skinny: We know the Blue Demons finished last, but they lost three games in OT and two others by five or less. Purnell has gotten them to play hard most nights
Odds: Off the board
Record: 14-15, 5-13
Coach: Mike Rice
Star: G Myles Mack (13.3 PPG)
Flaw: Character, or lack thereof.
Skinny: Since opening league play 3-2 and overcoming the university suspension of Rice, Rutgers lost leading chucker Eli Carter to a broken leg and dropped 11 of 13. But the Scarlet Knights swept Seton Hall, so they've got that going for them.
Odds: Off the board
Record: 14-17, 3-15
Coach: Kevin Willard
Star: G/F Fuquan Edwin (16.6 PPG)
Flaw: As we write this, another Seton Hall player might have sustained an injury.
Skinny: Willard simply never put the team on the court he expected to have, never good, but especially when you're trying to change the culture.
Odds: Off the board
Record: 12-18, 3-15
Coach: Stan Heath
Star: F Victor Rudd
Flaw: Chemistry. Hope there is a security guard inside the locker room or these guys might try to hurt each other.
Skinny: Last year's surprise Big East team almost won its last three games, but we haven't seen such a selfish group since any version of the Real Housewives.
Odds: Off the board

Keep your skin vibrant and luxuriously soft all winter with these simple tips.
PROBLEM #4: Cold sores The herpes virus causes cold sores. They flare up in cold-weather months, possibly due to changes in your immune system.
TREAT IT: Let them heal. Cold sores tend to heal on their own within a week, so avoid picking at a blister. Use an over-the-counter cream. These antiviral creams and gels, like Abreva, can relieve the symptoms and may shorten the healing time. See your doc. If you're breaking out a few times a year, get a prescription for an antiviral drug. It may shorten the duration of outbreaks, says Dr. Wolf.
PREVENT IT: Wear lip balm with sunscreen. Since sunlight triggers cold sores, use a lip balm that has an SPF 15 or a hydrating lipstick that contains sunscreen, advises Dr. Wolf. Your lips will stay moist and soft, too.

A MOTHER has achieved a result in her campaign for safer conditions for children at a Bognor Regis school.
Nina Phillips has been told a school crossing patrol will soon start on Orchard Way.
This will help pupils attending South Bersted C of E Primary School.
Mrs Philips was told by West Sussex County Council's principal community officer, Greg Merrett, the patrol had been agreed.
He said at last week's joint western Arun area committee: "The school crossing patrol team manager has assessed the site. It does qualify for a school crossing patrol. Therefore, they have begun looking for potential applicants."
Mrs Philips, who has two of her three children at the nearby school, told the committee of the need for action on busy Orchard Way.
She called for traffic calming measures and a 20mph speed limit.
"The road humps which are there are absolutely useless," she said.
She was joined at the meeting by two fellow mothers who said the road was used as a cut through between Chichester Road and the A29.
Cllr Francis Oppler (LD) said the imminent patrol was good news for children.

Real Madrid have sounded out CSKA Moscow about a loan deal for winger Milos Krasic.

Today when I was driving, in a snowstorm, the wipers decided to stop working in the middle of the windshield. When I have used the wipers they have had a loader grinding mechanical sound to them and they delay works but they never seemed to go to the faster wiper speed when you set them to high. When they stopped working you could still hear the wiper motor running so I don't think it is the motor but when I look up parts there is a wiper transmission and then there is linkage. What is it more likely to be and where can I find pictures of this assembly online before tearing into the vehicle?
