Bring a trainer to your location to deliver this class for groups of 10 or more.
People judge you by how you communicate. Learn the secrets to coming
across as positive, credible, friendly, and professional ... and watch your
results soar!
It's a fact: The ability to communicate effectively can make or break your
career. Don't believe it? Consider this staggering statistic from a survey of
U.S. businesses: "Inability to communicate" and "poor communication skills"
were listed as the top reasons for employees not succeeding on the job.
That probably comes as no surprise to you, because as a professional today
you've seen time and again how people who have first-rate communication skills
go farther faster in their organizations than those who don't. But contrary to
popular belief, the ability to communicate with finesse and diplomacy isn't a
gift that some are born with and the rest of us lack. It's a skill that can be
learned and mastered, just like any other skill.
This training offers the easiest, most effective way to build essential
communication skills
In today's highly competitive business environment, effective, diplomatic
communication is a skill that must be mastered if you intend to get ahead and
stay there. How to Communicate With Tact, Professionalism, and Diplomacy
is a powerful workshop that combines all facets of on-the-job interpersonal
communication — from speaking to writing to listening to presenting — and
shows you step-by-step how to master them.
This intensive day of communication training boils down tons of information
into "the most important of the most important" so you learn the powerful
techniques, tools, and strategies that will make the most significant impact on
your effectiveness.
For example, you'll learn ...
Stop learning the hard way through trial and error!
The truth is that most of us haven't had the opportunity to learn the
essential communication skills taught in this comprehensive workshop. Instead,
we stumble along doing the best we can and sooner or later, we open mouth,
insert foot!
You've been there, right? Whether you spoke too soon and said something you
didn't mean to, communicated bad news in a way that caused morale to plummet,
or found yourself blindsided by a question in a meeting, you've undoubtedly
been in situations where you said the wrong thing and regretted it later.
We all have. And it's only because you didn't have the communication
skills you needed to handle the situation more diplomatically. As a result, your
work relationships may have suffered in the past, coworkers may have formed
grudges against you, and your projects missed deadlines because your people
couldn't get along.
Become a highly respected, highly influential, highly successful
Attend this intensive communication workshop and you can say good-bye to
misunderstandings and miscommunication once and for all! Imagine how great it
will feel — and how your career will benefit — when you suddenly have the
ability to get your point across powerfully but diplomatically, when you're
understood every time you speak, when you're respected by colleagues for your
communication savvy.
Whether you're a manager, supervisor, sales rep, attorney, technician, or
HR professional, the degree of career success you enjoy is virtually dictated by
your skills in communicating with others on the job. How to Communicate
With Tact, Professionalism, and Diplomacy is guaranteed to help you
communicate more powerfully, more diplomatically, and more effectively with
every encounter.

HUNDREDS of people descended on Garth Park, Bicester, to enjoy a day of free fun.
The gates of Garth Park, in Launton Road, opened on Wednesday, August 1, for the annual Teddy Bears' Picnic and Activity Day.
A host of activities for children and young people aged up to 16, were sponsored by Bicester Village and organised by Bicester Town Council, including Go Karts, a climbing wall, obstacle course, exotic animal experience, children's show, messy play, sculpting, drumming workshops and a mountain bike track.
During the day mayor Sean Gaul, Mayoress, his wife Louise and their son Miles also judged the Best Dressed Teddy contest.
Mrs Gaul said: "It was a surprisingly difficult task given the fact that all the teddy bears and soft toys were lovely, and personal to each child.
"All the children looked very proud of their efforts in getting their teddy bears prepared and dressed in some fantastic costumes, we saw an astronaut, a choir singer, various princess teddy bears and there was even a teddy who was around 3ft tall and bigger than its owner.
"In the end we gave first prize to a cuddly octopus who had been lovingly dressed up. Our son Miles, who is soon to turn four, absolutely loves octopus' which was what led us to the decision."
Councillor Gaul added: "The day was great and much busier than it has been in previous years which is testament to the fact the Bicester people are very fond of their annual teddy bears picnic.
"For my part, I am very grateful to the hard-working Bicester Town Council team for their unrelenting efforts to provide us all with great events all year round

Unique Birthday Gifts for Men
When it comes to giving unique birthday gifts for men, many women are clueless sometimes as to what to get.
If that's not bad enough, many of these women are girlfriends, wives, and lovers of the guys that they're trying to buy birthday gifts for. However, even though it seems like one should be able to pick out a birthday gift quickly and easily enough for the man in her life, it simply doesn't always happen like that.
There are many considerations to think about when trying to find that perfect birthday surprise, but one may be interested to find out that the solution to their problem usually lies right under their nose.
Romantic Birthday Gifts for Men
First Suggestion - Pay Attention to what he says
Generally men are happy about what they receive for their birthday; however, rather than trying to figure out what he might be thinking he wants, pay attention when he talks. If he is discussing the car he just bought, this might provide some clues as to what he wants.
If he talks about buying wheel rims or an exhaust system, this might be a good surprise for his birthday. If you have no idea which part of the car he is talking about, a gift certificate or gift voucher will allow him to buy what he wants!
"10 Unique Birthday Gift Ideas" » 1.) Unique Gift Ideas For Birthday »
Birthday Gifts for Men
Paying attention to what he is talking about will result in wonderful ideas for birthday present for your significant other. If it happens that his birthday is only a few days away and you haven't heard him say anything about something he would like to have, simply ask him. He will be glad to tell you a number of things that he has considered buying and will likely give you a couple of other ideas as well!
Second Suggestion - Safe ideas for Gift-giving
A good suggestion when a birthday or other holiday is getting near and you have no idea what to get your husband, boyfriend or fiancée is to choose a safe gift. These gifts will be ones that he will like even if they are not what he suggested. For instance, a new type of cologne that he hasn't mentioned is a good idea and this is not because you do not like the kind he wears. Safe gift suggestions are something that is enjoyable and different - gifts that are romantic, movies that he particularly enjoys, needed tools or boxers.
Sometimes it seems this is a difficult chore when you are trying to figure out what your boyfriend, husband or fiancée would like, but it can be easier. Using some of the suggestions above will allow you to give him a birthday gift that will surprise him!

Yes, I believe that it is constitutional for photo identification to be required when voting, because it is a small way to make sure that dead people, or people who do not live in the district, do not vote. A person who is poor can go to any government office and they will receive an operator's license or ID card for free.
Voting is a sacred right that must be upheld to the highest standards in order to preserve the honor and honesty of that right. Photo identification is required for many things in life, from banking, to paying for goods, to buying alcohol. The constitutionality of these everyday practices is not questioned but accepted as a form of protection for the consumers and merchants. Voter fraud is a serious offense that can destroy the integrity of one of our greatest rights. Requiring photo identification would help keep that in check and protect us as a nation, thereby protecting our constitution.
Yes, when you are going to vote they need to make sure that you are a citizen of the US and that you are who you say you are. We have the free right to vote, but people who do not do not deserve to sneak in and get to.
Instances of fraud within US elections at all levels, from federal to state and below are relatively so minor to have no justification for what is blatant voter suppression, targeting minorities and the poor for whom getting said Photo ID is not as simply as people make it out to be, all because they refuse to vote for politicians will harmful policies that directly affect them
The fourteenth amendment prohibits the federal and state governments from denying a citizen the right to vote based on that citizen's "race, color, or previous condition of servitude". Studies have time and time again shown that ID laws disproportionately affect minority and older citizens. Identification is verified during the voter registration process. Requiring ID at the polls creates hurdles for voters who for any number of reasons do not have the specific ID states may require. The ID laws may also violate the twenty fourth amendment as well as there is usually a fee to obtain an ID and amounts to a poll tax, affecting the poor more than anyone else.
It is not constitutional for a photograph identification to be required when voting. The Constitution grants everyone the right to vote, even if they do not have a photo identification card. The recent measure to demand photo identification is clearly a racist attempt to prevent poor African-Americans from being able to vote.

I just wish I had a couple more monitors. My KVM doesn't really allow switching, as it is a cheap bastage and my old mobo's don't recognize input devices properly without a reboot.
There's a gal I used to work with that for a year has been gonna' give me her dads old system, maybe I ought'a hound her about it, but I'm not comfortable demanding she give it to me now. LOL
Still, that would give me a 14" monitor to put with the ol' 200MMX.
All you need is Win 95 and the latest DUN patch to run UD -- with a modem of course. Memory of course is nice, but there are some dudes in the UD forum who are cranking WU with some machines that are sorry by todays standards.
What am I saying?? My machine is sorry by todays standards:cry:

I need less than 1,000 points to bump off Andy for a top 10 spot...:D
I don't know if anyone has had the need to find this out, but I thought I would just pass it on. This info comes from tinkering with my puters so much lately.
When my old PC went to pieces (til I can rebuild its home) I just saved the UD folder inside the Program Files folder. After I had everything set up on the new puter, I did a fresh install of UD. I just ignored all the registration stuff and copied the files in the old UD folder to the UD folder in the new puter and it picked up where the other puter left off. Not a hitch to speak of. So I didn't lose the crunch time that the other puter had devoted. I was kind of happy about that. I had already lost a few partial crunches before I thought of that.
Hope that is of some use to someone. :)
Have you hugged a Midget today?
I'm still waiting for UD to send me a customised copy so I can install it on the other 400 machines (got about 200 machines running it now)

(ARA) - Caring for your family is something you do every day of your life. But there might come a time when you won't be available.
Mortgage life insurance is a life insurance product designed to help your survivors pay your mortgage after you pass away.
Unlike general life insurance policies that provide a specific benefit amount to a beneficiary of your choice -- with the funds being used however the recipient sees fit -- mortgage life insurance is specifically designed to pay for your mortgage and only your mortgage. The benefit amount is paid directly to the mortgage lender, and since it is designed to pay the mortgage, it changes over time as the amount owed decreases. The mortgage life insurance policy also ends when the mortgage is paid off, if the purchaser of the policy is still living.
Whether or not you need a mortgage life insurance policy depends a lot on your other expenses and what other life insurance products you may already own. Usually when purchasing life insurance, people factor into the total death benefit amount the cost of a mortgage. If you are worried that too much of the life insurance payout will have to be used by your family to pay off the mortgage - leaving them with less money to cover other expenses - then mortgage life insurance may be right for you.
Have a plan
Most life insurance experts agree that taking a comprehensive look at your overall financial needs - including your mortgage - and determining what your family would require to survive without your income, and then purchasing adequate life insurance accordingly is the better route. Visit LifeInsurance.org and look at the Life Insurance Overview section for details on how to determine how much life insurance you need, and the options available to you.
Terminal illness coverage
One additional advantage of mortgage life insurance is it often will pay off the mortgage not only upon the death of the insured, but also in the case of a diagnosis of terminal illness. For many of these policies, if you are told that you are going to die within the next six months to a year - the mortgage life insurer will most likely pay off your mortgage. For what little solace it may offer you and your family, at least you will not have to worry about mortgage payments.

A reader sent me this a number of months ago, and embarrassingly, I'm just getting around to posting it now, as I've been reminded by something @Lovestats posted the other day.
Another matrix with multiple problems — "I felt expected," really? But the focus here actually isn't the matrix, believe it or not: it's that my reader has never actually stayed in the hotel that sent him the survey, with the familiar "please rate your recent stay with us at our such-and-such location" sort of email you tend to get after any interaction these days. Not only had he not stayed at that location — he'd never stayed at any hotel in the chain.
Now, I'm assuming this was a glitch of some sort — an actual customer with a similar email address had sloppy handwriting, or a friend of our reader has been giving out the reader's information instead of his own, or the hotel company is a conglomerate and they actually meant to ask our reader to rate his experience buying a shirt at their clothing store — but however it came about, it made me think — with all the ongoing discussion about probability samples versus non-probability samples, what about starting by just making sure you're not interviewing people who are totally outside your frame?

So what do you all think of super rookie group Monsta X?
Let's find out with these questions, shall we?
- Do you find yourself constantly replaying their debut song "Trespass" just so you can learn the choreography?
- Do you stream all their music show performances, forsaking sleep?
- Would you rather re-watch old No.Mercy and Deokspatch episodes than go out and be productive?
- Have you already memorized exactly who sings what line and what he looks like when singing, but can't remember the last time you fed your fish?
If you answered "yes" to one or more question, then you've got it bad for Monsta X. If you answered "yes" to all the questions, then you are me.
Yes, I admit, I am gone over this group. Completely, utterly gone. Like never to return.
And I think I have a bias, but I don't really know for sure. I probably have seven.
I'm hopeless.
But you can benefit from my hopelessness! I purchased 6 (yes 6) Monsta X "Trespass" mini-album CDs and I will most likely purchase more. I'm trying to support these boys any way I can. And I'm trying to get all 7 of the photocards–one of each member. See? Hopeless.
Three of the six CDs are in my possession now, and three more are still to be delivered to me.
Of the three I have, one is a repeat photocard of Jooheon, so now you have the chance to own it, along with the CD of course (and the photobook is gorgeous!)!
Would you like to win this CD and photocard? Then just do the following:
- Follow me on Twitter @Mama_Fangirl_ (that's my new account) and @SueMarue (my personal account) if you don't already.
- Mention either or both of my accounts and tweet me a picture of your favorite Monsta X member or a favorite picture of the whole group.
- In the tweet, tell me what it is about Monsta X, or a specific member, that makes you a fan of them.
- Use the hashtags #Monsta_X and #CDGiveaway.
Don't forget to add the underscores after Mama and Fangirl in my twitter username (like this: Mama_Fangirl_), because there's a twitter user without the underscores who isn't me.
This giveaway is open to U.S. and International readers, as long as postage stays around $10 U.S. If it's more than $10, and you're willing to pay the difference, we can arrange that too. And if you're a minor, make sure you have your parent's permission to give out your address.
You have from now until Tuesday, June 2nd at 12PM (noon) Pacific Time to get those tweets in to me. I'll be using a randomizer to pick a winner, so everyone has a fair chance! But you won't win if you're not following me. That's not too hard to win a CD, right?
Go go go! Good luck, everyone!

Press Release for Crooked Spoon from Paul Perrino
Clermont, FL – After three successful years on the road, Chef Steve Saelg is hanging up his food truck keys and will turn The Crooked Spoon concept into a full-service restaurant, which is scheduled to open August 26, 2013. Located adjacent to Clermont's historic Citrus Tower, the Crooked Spoon's 4,200 Facebook followers and the residents of Lake County will finally have their very own gastropub to gather and enjoy Chef Saelg's foodie favorites as well as an expanded bill of fare.
This long-time dream of Chef Saelg (pronounced: sëlg) is finally becoming a reality, and he intends to put all of his culinary talents and soul into making sure his patrons experience inspiration and comfort within his dishes. A progression from the traditional pub scene, the Gastropub concept was selected by Chef Saelg to cover the vision he has for a restaurant environment.
"Being from New Jersey, I miss having a neighborhood restaurant, and a place where friends and families can gather regularly to enjoy incredible food in a relaxed atmosphere," said Chef Saelg . Gastropubs originated in London when chefs wanted to keep the atmosphere of a neighborhood pub, yet did away with "pub grub" staples such as Fish and Chips and Sheppard's Pie, and replaced them with unique gourmet dishes.
"I want to create a fun environment," said Chef Saelg, "and ultimately a place that I would want to hang out to enjoy great food and beer, while watching my favorite sports team play. The word 'pub' can sometimes be a bit scary to families, so I intend to make it a friendly atmosphere, where there are no loud juke boxes, pool tables with cracking billiard balls, or beer-bucket specials."
The Crooked Spoon menu reflects the chef's passion for creativity, and his customers will easily come to the realization that they must become regulars in order to experience all it has to offer. Open for lunch and dinner, patrons can begin their flavorful journey with starters such as Duck Confit Tostadas topped with a farmer's cheese and a drizzle of sweet and spicy raspberry barbecue, or perhaps the Pecan Hickory Smoked Pulled Pork Sliders accented with a seasonal barbecue sauce.
The experience continues with a variety of delectable entrées such as the Pan Seared Wahoo, a flavorful summertime dish topped with a gorgeous avocado scented crème fraiche, which captures a seasonal lightness; the Marinated Grilled Flank Steak with a plum wine demi glaze accompanied with a sobo noodle salad; or the Low Country Fried Chicken, a Cajun inspired twist to the classic southern fried bird, which is served with an herb buttered Zellwood corn on the cob. Desserts selections will be posted daily on the restaurant's blackboard.
Parents will be pleased with how plentiful the kids menu will be, and that the selections mirror the adult menu's creative options. The kids menu will include Coconut Chicken Tenders, along with the chef's variation on children comfort classics such as a smoked provolone and cheddar Mac and Cheese.
Loyal Crooked Spoon fans will be happy to find the signature 420 and Crooked Spoon burgers headlining the menu, and will be even happier to tell anyone within earshot of how "the 420 burger is the best burger I have ever had…EVER!" The 420 burger gets its name for the April 20th date it was introduced at a Downtown Orlando event, and the response from the customers then to now has remained high. One bite into this angus-beef delight comes with a taste and texture explosion due to the fried onion ring, pineapple relish, sweet honey mustard aioli, and Turkish seasoned candied-bacon toppings.
Freshness of the foods will be a result of Chef Saelg's farm-to-table purchases for his goods. "I plan to source as much as I can from the local farms and ranches," Chef Saelg proudly says, "as well as lining a majority of our 24 beer taps with selections from Central Florida breweries." The restaurant will also have an extensive wine list available. "There will also be a major focus on handcrafted cocktails," chimes in mixologist and owner/operator, Victor Huryn. "Our philosophy for the kitchen also extends to the bar where we will use fresh local ingredients in our drink recipes and house-made simple syrups."
If the effort Chef Saelg has put into the design of his menu is impressive to the soon-to-be regulars, they should also anticipate salacious menu changes from season to season. "I sometimes get bored with a few of the dishes and want to keep things interesting for myself and my guests," declares the talented chef. "It is important to always bring excitement to my menu. This entire opening is all very exciting actually, and I can't wait to welcome our first guests to the Crooked Spoon."

From a feature in yesterday's Times T2 (£):
Craig is by no means a novice when it comes to living on the breadline. Recently he was left with 80p to last the week, but he used his wits and coped. He went to Tesco just before closing time when he knew food would be marked down in price and bought a packet of Lincolnshire sausages for 14p and a loaf of bread for 18p that saw him through the week.
Today, though, even by these standards, he is "desperate". It is Friday, his cupboards are empty and so are his pockets. He faces the prospect of a whole weekend with nothing to eat. So he has swallowed his pride and, like thousands of people in Britain these days, has come to a food bank in Liverpool. What he will get, effectively, is a free food parcel.
"I was very wary about coming here today," says Craig, 31, a sports science graduate who lost his job in retail last year and ended up homeless. "It's the stigma I suppose. You're embarrassed asking for help, but what else can you do? You've got no choice."
Sadly, this is the case for thousands of people in Britain. One new food bank is opening every week in this country as increasing numbers of people, both in low-paid work and unemployed, find they cannot afford to feed themselves and their families. Rising food costs, redundancy, benefit changes and benefit delays are among the reasons that they are forced to turn to charity.
They 'find they cannot afford to feed themselves and their families'. I know it's a naive question, but are there really people in Britain who, comfortably off and made aware of facts like these, feel no shame at all for the country?

Democrats Privately Say GOP Could Take House and Senate if Economy, Support for Obama Don't Improve
Via Weasel Zippers
Democrats are privately acknowledging that unless President Obama's approval along with the nation's economy improves between now and November, they could lose both the House and the Senate to Republicans:
Republicans are on offense in scores of House and Senate races as persistent economic woes and lukewarm support for President Barack Obama continue to weaken Democrats' hold on Congress.
The president and his party are determined to minimize the losses six months before the November elections. But Democrats privately acknowledge the economy and support for Obama must improve before then to avoid the defeats that could cost them control of the House and possibly the Senate. . . MORE

I'm not a Google fangirl. I have Gmail accounts for personal and work use, and I spend some time in Google Docs and Calendar, but that's about it. And until a few weeks ago, I had never even more than glanced at the Chrome OS or browser, let alone touched a Chromebook.
I have, however, read the vitriol aimed at Chromebooks by my tech press colleagues. The low-cost laptops that make up the majority of the Chromebook market have been dismissed as disposable toys. The new Chromebook Pixel, meanwhile, has attracted much greater interest--and even greater disdain, because it's seen as an outrageously expensive disposable toy.
But is the Chromebook platform really such a bad idea?
With a basic Samsung Chromebook 3 in one hand and Google's new Chromebook Pixel in the other, I spent a week finding out. I lived off of the two Chromebooks as much as I could--at work, at home, and out and about. My goal: to determine whether a Chromebook could substitute for a full-fledged Windows laptop, all without performance issues and compatibility headaches.
After that week, I can testify that many of my cohorts have it wrong. They're dismissing the Chromebook because it's not for them, but ignoring how useful it might be for broad swaths of users. SEE: Chromebook Pixel vs MacBook Pro Retina
Power users don't get the Chromebook
Most tech journalists are power users: tinkerers and early adopters. They want full laptop flexibility. They want to play games and run processor-intense applications like Photoshop and video editors. The Chromebook is not for them. Yet many of them have compared the Chromebook to the full desktop experience, where Google's hardware platform not surprisingly falls short.
I understand the Chromebook's shortcomings, and I'm not giving up my Windows machine anytime soon, either. But I also know that there are millions of users who have happily abandoned full-fledged PCs for tablets and even smartphones for many common computing tasks. For these users, Chromebooks offer something more: a decent keyboard and a bigger display--like the one on the new HP Pavilion 14 Chromebook, or, of course, the mesmerizing, 2560-by-1700 display on the Chromebook Pixel.
We technorati need to step aside and let the rest of the world enjoy the Chromebook--and especially, the Pixel--for what it is: the more functional alternative to a smartphone or tablet for online life.
The Chromebook idea is right
The first day I got my Samsung Chromebook, it was stolen. Not by some subway thief, but by my husband, who pretended to greet me at the door and grabbed the Chromebook while I was taking off my coat. In a flash he was on the sofa and opening the lid. A few minutes later, he was busy downloading stuff from the Chrome Web Store. Welcome home, dear.
When the Chromebook Pixel arrived a week later, it took me almost an hour to walk with it across our lab. Everyone wanted to touch it and check out the display. Everyone wanted to try it.
Here's the point: The Chromebook idea is right. Just as it's fun to download apps for your smartphone or tablet, it's fun to do it for the Chromebook as well. Even better, limited choices can be surprisingly liberating. The last time I bought a Windows PC, I had to fret over whether to buy Microsoft Office from the PC vendor, or find it somewhere cheaper online, or muddle along with my older copy--if I could find the CD, and if the product key hadn't expired, and so on.
The Chromebook saves us from that hassle. Or at least it's supposed to.
Apps make - and break - the experience
The problem isn't with Chromebooks, but with the apps. For instance, it took only a few hours for my husband to hand the Chromebook back to me. He had tried the movies and the books, and a few other things. But he spends a lot of time in a specialized Windows application that is not available on the Chrome store, so he returned to his own laptop.
And the lab staff at PCWorld? They're eager to hack into the Chromebook and load Linux so they can add things they can't get from the Chrome OS.
The Chrome Web store looks like it has a lot of apps. Google has worked hard to provide alternatives to the major office applications that most of us know, and it's also attracted some recognizable, popular online services.
Many of these so-called apps, however, are just links to websites, rather than Chrome-specific apps. Like the disillusioned users who wrote in their app reviews on the Chrome store, I can make my own bookmarks, thank you. And some of the other apps are worse than junk, throwing up ads or otherwise taking you for an online ride. People expect more from something called an app. They also want choices, and there might be only scant or second-class choices in the Chrome store.
I don't think I'm alone, however, in not needing much more than what the Chromebook can give me. I'm a heavy Web surfer, not a heavy app user. I don't even play games.
I went to my own PC and uploaded some documents I needed to my Google Drive account for work. I had to convert my Office documents to Google Docs to be able to edit them. Then I hopped back to the Chromebook and started working.
I used to hate Google Docs, but my feelings have mellowed as the functionality has improved. Serious spreadsheet jocks and specialized document creators need to stay inside full-fledged applications. But many of the rest of us can use Google Docs without feeling much of a pinch.
Offline and corporate features can be tricky
I ran into real roadblocks when I arrived at work. For one thing, the Offline function was not enabled for my corporate Google account, so I had to hurriedly move over my professional work to my personal Google account. Offline saving also taxes the Samsung Chromebook's underwhelming processing power--it definitely felt slower when it was busy saving locally. However, I did like how smoothly the offline docs synced when I next hit a network connection.
It was finding that network connection that caused me even more problems. Our corporate network at PCWorld didn't like the Chromebook. This is a BYOD problem, but it's a problem nonetheless. I was able to log onto the guest network just to get online, but I couldn't get onto our servers or use our online content management system. The IT staff, which is familiar with wacky requests, tested a workaround, but it didn't work reliably for me.
At the office, therefore, I led a double life. I wrote content on my Chromebook with my personal Google account, and then shared the documents with my professional Google account so I could transfer it to our corporate applications. It isn't quite as klunky as it sounds. It was actually very easy to keep working on the same, shared Google Doc as I moved between my two Chromebooks and my work PC. I even enjoyed a little geeky fun by loading the same document on all three systems, editing it on one, and watching it change dynamically on the others as I worked. The cloud's not completely dependable yet, to be sure, but it has its charms.
The Pixel adds much-needed luster
Working on the Samsung Chromebook's smallish screen got old. For this reason alone, I can see why the low-end Chromebooks that have flooded the market haven't received much love.
But the Google Chromebook Pixel, now, that's a machine I could get used to. That design. That power. And especially, that gorgeous display. I even used touchscreen gestures to give myself a break from the trackpad.
Is the Pixel overkill for today's Web-based life? Absolutely. Is it the marquee product needed to move the Chromebook category away from its econobox reputation and give it a futuristic gleam? Absolutely.
If you wonder whether the Pixel is necessary, you might as well ask why we need sports cars or haute couture. We don't need any of these things (though the Pixel is a lot more practical than Porsche 911s and fancy dresses). But all three set lofty standards that benefit their industries--including selling a lot of cheaper products to normal people.
Chromebooks are for the rest of us
Speaking of normal people, I'm going to share something that Google probably doesn't want to hear: I want to get a Chromebook for my mom.
She's not the urban hipster that Google almost certainly wants to target. She's 79 years old, and all she does is use email and surf the Web. But she constantly gets lost in the Windows jungle on her PC, and I have to thwack in there with a machete to get her out. She also clicks the wrong stuff, and suddenly there's some virus or malware causing trouble. The Chromebook's just-a-browser simplicity and Google's constant updates make it a good choice for users just like her. And for me, her tech support department, I love the Powerwash feature that lets me return the Chromebook to a pure state if I really need to.
But I wouldn't mind one for myself, either. During my time in Chromebook exile, my life got simpler. I didn't miss my personal desktop, and I got hooked on having my Google Docs available from any connected PC or Chromebook I happened to be using. I'm not ready to surrender all my content to the cloud, but it's certainly handy for day-to-day use.
The Chromebook is still an immature platform. The app deficiencies are a huge issue. But these devices still don't merit the derision that they've received. The Chromebook isn't supposed to be the desktop they want it to be. It's the antidesktop that's the better solution for many people going forward.

Tights are pretty much the foundation of my entire fall wardrobe. When the temperature seriously dropped this week, and I began to dust off my bin o' tights, I realized that the good majority of them were no longer wearable. My dog Bentley has a hosiery fetish that has cost me some of my most cherished pairs of tights. I've had this idea floating around my head for a few weeks and what better time than now, the coldest week of the season so far, to try it out. You've probably already seen these here, or here, or here but if you haven't, you can see my version of the bejeweled tights here now!
—rhinestones, beads, sequins (something shiny)
—fabric glue
—small paintbrush
As you can see from this crappy iphoto (my photographer/sister is on vacation this week) I got an assortment of BIG VALUE craft rhinestones. This is because it was the night before payday and the only place I found that would accept credit cards was a craft store—most fabric places don't. This would look a million times better with proper rhinestones of different sizes and possibly colors. Naturally, they were out of fabric glue, but he directed me to a fabric store about a block away, on Broadway. They had the glue I was looking for, and just as the gentleman places it on the counter, I spy the "CASH ONLY" sign I feared I would find. Fuck. I apologize and tell him I don't have any cash—so what does he do? HE LETS ME HAVE IT FOR FREE! And he told me I could come back and pay him whenever! Seriously, how amazing is that??? There are a million fabric stores on Broadway below Canal, but everyone should only ever go to NY Fabric Warehouse.
The execution is incredibly simple. The hardest part was deciding how to glue the rhinestones. I'm kind of a minimalist, so I wasn't crazy about the explosion of jewels I'd seen on other tights. I kept it pretty simple and basic, but this is the part where you get to let your imagination go wild! You should glue the stones on while the tights are stretched out, so I glued them while I was wearing them. Don't worry, you won't glue them to yourself. Using your small paintbrush, dab a small amount of glue on the back of the rhinestone and place in position. Let dry for a few minutes before taking them off, and voila, a brand new fancy pair of tights. Like you really needed me to show you how to do this…

Economy to expand to Shs110 trillion
Wednesday May 15 2019
Kampala- The Finance Ministry has said the size of Uganda's economy will increase to Shs110.024 trillion by the end of the 2018/19 financial year due to a pickup in economic activities.
Speaking at the launch of the National Budget Month for the 2019/20 financial year in Kampala yesterday, Dr Gabriel Ajedra Aridru, the Finance state minister in charge of General Duties, said the economy has recovered from a two-year low, registering robust performance in the first half of the 2018/19 financial year.
"The economy is expected to grow faster than projected. As a result, GDP growth for the 2018/19 financial year has been revised to 6.3 per cent from 6.0 per cent," he said, indicating that the size of the economy will increase to Shs110 trillion in the 2018/19 financial year up from Shs100 trillion in 2017/18 financial year.
The main drivers of the growth, he said, include increased activities in the manufacturing sector, recovery in the construction sector, public sector investments in infrastructure and recovery in the agriculture and services sectors.
Other factors, he said, include growth in regional and international trade, tourism, ICT and financial services.
Dr Ajedra also indicated that government collected slightly more revenue in April grossing Shs1.293 trillion against a target of Shs1.288 trillion, which resulted into a surplus of Shs5.65b.
Cumulatively, tax and non-tax revenue collections for the period between July 2018 and April 2019 stand above target at Shs13.463 trillion against a target of Shs13.101 trillion.
DR Ajedra also indicated that the 2019/20 budget will focus on interventions that will seek to increase GDP growth as well as ensuring that it is an all-inclusive budget.
Therefore, he said, government will focus more on enhancing agriculture production, agro-processing, and investment in physical and social infrastructure to reduce the cost of doing business, facilitate trade and exports, tourism as well as improving social service delivery.
Government will also put emphasis on industrialisation to speed up economic transformation, lower the cost of credit, increase opportunities for youth employment and socioeconomic inclusion, enhance environment protection and mitigate the effects of climate change, among others.
Uganda's budget is financed mainly through domestic collections, domestic borrowing and external financing through budget support by development partners as well as borrowing on concessional and non-concessional basis.
However, Dr Ajedra said, government will continue to exercise caution while taking on new debt given the rising debt levels, which the IMF have projected to reach 50.7 per cent in the 2021/22 financial year.
Mr Kenneth Mugambe, the director of Budget, said government was through recapitalising Uganda Development Bank, committed to lowering the cost of doing business that has been a problem for a number of Ugandans.
Need for salary review commission
Dr Ajedra also said there was need for government to put in place a Salary Review Commission to streamline all salaries paid to civil servants. This was prompted by the recent proposal by Member of Parliament to increase their pay by 40 per cent.
"We need a salary review commission because the way things are it makes [some workers such as MPs] decide on the amount of salary and allowance they want. Some two years ago they refused to pass the budget because we had not provided for their salary and allowance increments," he said.
The proposal was supported by Mr Julius Mukunda, the Civil Society Budget Advocacy Group executive director, who said it was high time government put in place a proper mechanism to streamline civil servants' pay.
During the National Budget Month FY2019/20, government will undertake a number of activities key among them tree planting, donation of scholastic materials to East Kololo Primary School and the budget accountability match.
Other activities will include the budget speech, post budget speech and regional budget breakfast meetings across the country.

World War I brought many bloody battles to Italy. Don Angelo, working in field hospitals, was in the midst of much suffering and death. One of the worst battles was fought near his family's home town. Thousands of men and boys were killed, and thousands more injured. The wounded filled the schools and churches but there was not enough medical help for them. Don Angelo would never forget the horror of war and the terrible suffering it caused.
After the war ended, and despite the diverse good work he had done, Don Angelo believed that the best years of his life were passing him by. He wrote a biography of the bishop to whom he served as assistant and published it in 1920. He sent a compliment copy to an old friend of the bishop – Pope Benedict. Don Angelo was soon summoned to Rome to work.

Police Find Wrecked McLaren With No Driver In Nevada Desert
Police in Nevada came across a $300,000 McLaren in the desert. But the catch is, there was nobody around!
Police say that while seatbelts saved the lives of the two passengers in the car, the vehicle's engineers deserve a lot of the credit. Although there was major impact to the car, at least one of its butterfly-style doors still worked after the accident.
The Nevada Highway Patrol found the totaled McLaren 720 about 70 yards off a road near Lake Mead, with damage suggesting that it rolled at least once as it just missed falling down a ravine.
With the McLaren being one of the quickest cars in the world with 710 horsepower and a top speed of 212 mph, it's easy to see how it can get out of control with the wrong driver or conditions. It features a carbon fiber passenger cell, similar to a racecar's, that's designed to be both lightweight and extremely strong.
According to police, neither the passenger or the driver was seriously injured. They weren't there when the car was discovered, however. After searching the area, police found out that they had gotten themselves to a nearby hospital to be treated for scrapes and bruises.
The car was apparently taking part in a cross-country exotic car rally.
This is whats left of a McLaren Exotic Sports Car after a rollover in the Lake Mead Recreational Area today. Both the driver and passenger escaped serious injury because they were wearing their seatbelts.

TL;DRGive input inserters' sleep priority, or have distinct input and output buffers for asms/furnaces.
What ?Currently, an inserter will not sleep if it is oriented to take items off a belt segment with moving items when inserting into a furnace. In this case, inputting into a furnace with both input and output buffers full, and nothing but conbots on the belt. I am (perhaps naively) unaware of what checks the inserter may be doing, or how the result of any of those checks would result in any activity (if there was ore on the belt, it would still do nothing because the furnace is full). The same thing happens with inserters taking out of a chest, though only for 1 tick when the chest content changes.
It appears inserters can go inactive when [(output buffer * equivalent mats) + input buffer] mats are above a certain threashold (which also causes asm output inserters stay active longer)
WHAT do you suggest?I acknowledge I know virtually nothing about why things are coded a certain way, or what their implications are with other entities, so my humble suggestion is in all likelihood an ignorant one: if an inserter's inactive state is contingent on the furnace they're feeding, regardless of what may pass on the belt, or what chest contents might change, not have a wake-up tied to their grabber parts (like how it works with asms).
Ideally, input buffer thresholds would be independent from output buffers for all furnaces / asms. With slow craft time recipes like LDS and prod modules, an input inserter can stay active for the duration of a craft, only to have productivity finish, its combined (output buffer * mats) + input buffer is now past its threshold, and input inserter goes inactive, without having inputted anything (though at least with asms, the input inserter doesnt have a wake-up tied to the belt/chest).
Why ?If the input inserter's "active" state is singularly contingent on a distinct input buffer:
it would no longer go active for 1 tick after each craft (significant for fast crafting recipes likes copper cables) *edit* it would still tick active when the # of mats in the input buffer changes though
it could go inactive sooner
it could stay inactive if a belt moves, or a chest content changes (as the results of those checks would never be used)
it wouldn't need to "sleep" mid-pickup (which requires inserter to go through a "sleep" animation and consequently "wake-up" animation)
asms / furnaces could still be force-fed by a player past its normal input threshold
My base is by no means uniquely large, but by optimising our inserters interaction with belts we've gotten 20%+ more cpu efficient designs, yet they still require significant processing time. The recent (amazing, game-changing, epic, elegant, I could go on) belt optimisations make their use not just practical, but superior to bots cpu wise at any scale. Inserters interacting with the belts, however, require convoluted designs to take full advantage of what these optimisations offer: (2x inserters are typically needed to supply this copper cable asm quickly enough to meet its demand, however requiring 2x inserters for all copper cable asms' copper input means extra overhead, as 2x inserters would be taking off a belt less efficiently, and 2x inserters would tick active after every craft)
I dont mind the slower (17.1 items/sec in this case) throughput of inserters taking off belts, but needing to have isolation splitters on all input inserters (especially, and specifically with ore/furnaces; if any inserter down the line of furnaces takes ore off the belt, the whole belt moves, causing all preceding inserters to go active) to allow them to go inactive (and the game run more efficiently), no longer feels like a design challenge, but a design constraint.
A more relevant "why" for me personally though, I can build bigger.
*An important disclaimer though, this suggestion is made reluctantly, as I feel if any suggestion I could make is reasonable, it has already been thought of, considered, and appropriately dismissed for any number of reasons I'm ignorant of. But the possibility of inserters being optimised as well as belts have been is exciting, and I wanted offer my suggestion for the possibility of reconsideration of inserter sleep wakeup lists.

While she waitS ... less than patiently... Bex has been crocheting up a storm.
She's made lots of things, including these:
ABOVE: This one is for their baby, when he comes. Steve doesn't like it, but ... I'm sure Bex will still put it on him! lol
I've been trying to make up my mind about what colour to 'do' my hair with next time I go to the hairdresser. I can go back to 90% blonde, or keep with the slightly darker streaks and blonde... seeing this photo of my hair last night, after Brylee had curled it helped me make up my mind:
ABOVE: I think I'm going to stick with the slightly darker streaks. What do you think? Bear in mind the flash was on the camera, so it looks a bit lighter in the middle than it really is.
ABOVE: Bex took this gorgeous photo of a Monarch Butterfly on my 'fence garden' yesterday. It's a really good photo!
Today? Not sure yet. Probably will know once I discuss it with Stew! lol
Catch ya later.
So... we all ended up going to Sylvia Park ... us for a wander and lunch, and Steve,Bex and Dante for a quick wander around, living in hope exercise will bring on baby. HA HA, didn't work.
My favourite flower shop was having a sale, so we got a few more flowers (artificial), I shall use them for gifts I think.
ABOVE: pretty eh? I just love the flowers from Sylvia Park.
After lunch we did a mini grocery shop and came home.
*sigh* a quiet afternoon by the look of it now.
ABOVE: it feels like Sunday. Steve is home today for a change.
ABOVE: STILL crocheting. Baby is just getting bigger and bigger, hanging in there.
Oh Dear... Kate Middleton's gone into labour... and Bex is NOT happy. She wants her baby too. Poor girl. There is nothing worse than going overdue. Even for just a few days.
Fingers crossed it's not much longer for her.
In the meantime... I wonder what Kate will have? I'm thinking another boy.
Well I was wrong! Kate and Wills had a wee girl! How lovely for them.
End of Day: a lovely day, nice and quiet.

DATE: March 2015 - Four Secrets to a Speedier Background Investigation!
Does your organization know the secrets to expedite background investigations? There are many ways to get your background checks
completed faster.
Secret 1: The first thing you can do is make sure to provide aliases for any names that are submitted. It may seem obvious, but
providing aliases (especially for women who have been married) will make the initial social trace run smoothly and save valuable time
moving on for our investigative team. To enter an alias electronically, it's as simple as clicking on the AKA button and providing the
additional name. If you're submitting the consent form through fax or email, there is space provided to add additional names. Similarly, providing the full middle name for common names such as John Smith will help us rule out or confirm hits on a subject.
Secret 2: Rush inquiries are another way to expedite background investigations that are of the highest importance. To add a rush to an inquiry electronically, click Add Service and scroll down to find Rush in the list. By clicking on Rush, we know this background
investigation is extremely time sensitive and will be touched upon early in the morning and again in the afternoon if needed. Because
Commercial Investigations does not charge additional fees for rushes submitted this way, please save rush inquiries for when you need them the most.
Secret 3: Providing phone numbers and/or email addresses for the subject can sometimes save days on a background investigation. If
an employment or education verification is needed, we may occasionally need to reach out to a subject for further information. Calls
aren't always returned to us the same day when we need a supervisor's name or date of graduation. Submitting a subject's phone
number ahead of time can surprisingly save an additional day or two on a verification.
Secret 4: The Staff at Commercial Investigations have agreed! The most important way to expedite background investigations is to use
an electronic consent form. A few ways this can benefit your organization is it will get rid of the need for data entry, eliminates hard copy consent forms, protect sensitive data, and ensure compliance with FCRA. Additionally, when we have an electronically signed consent form on file immediately, we are able to complete verifications requiring proof of consent considerably faster.
Visit our Webinar/Coffee Chat series online to hear members of our staff talk about more ways to expedite your background
investigations at http://commercialinvestigationsllc.com/CIWebinarSeries.html.

Because of the way that dogs were bred, there are some digestive problems that are a common trait in different breeds. This is why you are going to be able to find a variety of pet nutrition supplements that are meant to help your pet better digest the food you are giving them. However; this is not the only issue you can address when you give your dog a pet nutrition supplement.
