Divorced Dad Help Simplify Your Life To Save Time
Do as much as you can at night, like setting out your clothes, pack the parts of the kids' lunches that can be packed ahead of time, set out your kids' clothes, prepare for work.Brush and shave in the shower.Keep all important numbers in the same place, and easy to find.Make meals that can be made in one pan, and in 30 minutes or less. Also make enough so there are leftovers that can be used for lunches at work.Clean up after yourself while you are cooking.Place the dishes the kids use at a level where they can reach them.Use liquid soap in the bathroom.Use bathroom cleaning products designed to clean more easily and quickly.Dust before vacuuming.Reduce clutter, no need to over decorate.Ask the kids to help with the cleaning. This will save time besides giving the kids some responsibility.Establish a rule that the kids pick up after themselves.Keep a laundry basket in each kid's room.Make sure you remain organized. Using a filing cabinet does wonders.Make your bed every day. It just gives you a little more self worth.
By saving a few MOMENTS here and there, in the long run you will end up saving HOURS. All it takes is an open mind, and a little common sense. All you need to do is look at everything in a different way (outside the box).
Some Laundry tips. The most important rule with laundry is: keep the AMOUNT of laundry down. As a single dad, there are many ways to accomplish this. Start by wearing some of your things 2 or even 3 times. If they don't have any odor, and look fine, why not? The same goes for towels...why not? Also, when doing laundry, ironing can be avoided by hanging up the clothes immediately after running them through the dryer. Wrinkles will be minimized.
Some grocery shopping tips. Avoid weekends. If you want it to be an easy, fast trip with short lines, you should go either early in the morning, or later in the evening. If you want to meet a single woman, try going to a store near an apartment complex. Stores in a lower income area may have better prices. If you want to shop in a cleaner, nicer lit store, go to a store that was more recently built.

The Leaders Who Make Work An Enjoyable Place To Be
One of my ex-bosses used to come out of his office and stare at anyone who he thought was chatting and obviously wasn't working hard enough, making all those around him insecure and stressed. Even if those people talking were discussing work, he didn't seem to believe them, so stood and scowled! However, if he was away from the office, even for a few hours, the environment was so very different - and yet everyone seemed to get more work done.
Neuroscience is clearly showing that being relaxed actually helps to increase creativity and innovation, key criteria to successful workplaces. So many leaders and companies, however, think that serious work has to be done seriously, and a fun atmosphere will reduce focus and productivity.
But creating the right work environment and culture will determine an organisation's success, with employees who want to come to work and want to work. Creating a place where employees feel comfortable and appreciated is crucial. Whether this is in the form of team events, lunches, after work get togethers etc, the effort will be noticed.
Bringing laughter into your meetings can alleviate fears and help the team to be more effective in problem solving and generating creative solutions. One of my direct reports once told me that he couldn't believe how much fun we had in meetings, and yet always got so much done, coming up with amazing insights for future development. Does anyone want to go to stressful meetings with colleagues, where they feel uncomfortable with offering suggestions and opinions? There will always be specific meetings that need to be handled appropriately, but regular humourless leadership can be a real morale killer.
Leadership is not about control and maintaining a sombre demeanour. Work should not be a punishment. A joyful workplace is a productive one, so leaders need to develop their skills and confidence to allow humour into their leadership style. Humour and humility seem to go hand in hand, keeping a leader's feet on the ground. There is obviously a time and place, and the humour has to be appropriate and not at the expense of others, but it helps to:
* Lighten the mood and put people at ease, which is especially important as leaders can come across as intimidating.
* Encourage clearer thinking and better decision making.
* Build better team-working, encouraging a sense of community and unified culture
* Ensure a culture of learning from mistakes and successes
* Develop loyalty and trust from your team
* Improve motivation and employee engagement
How have you encouraged a fun and relaxing working environment? What benefits have you discovered?
Leaders owe it to themselves to develop a better working environment, to reduce their own stress levels and those of their team, and build an atmosphere that all can thrive. Find out how executive coaching can help you develop your leadership skills, confidence and self-awareness.

Review How To Boost Your Profile Girl V The World
Feeling overlooked by her family, this very normal, everyday girl is about to make some very bad choices in an attempt to make herself feel special and significant. It might be bending the rules, but if no-one gets hurt, how wrong can it really be?
Anya is feeling overlooked and unimportant. She discovers that accidentally shoplifting gives her a buzz and makes her feel daring and special. As the buzz wears off, she is faced with the opportunity to take something else, but this time it won't be an accident. It's hard to resist the chance to make herself feel good when everything else in her life seems to be falling apart.
"How to Boost Your Profile" is part of the Girl v the World series, a great new series written by various authors focusing on the kinds of challenges facing preteen and young teen girls including family issues, dating, friendships, peer pressure and puberty. The central characters are girls in Year 7 who are trying to navigate that tricky time between childhood and teenage years.
Aimed at girls aged 11 - 14, the Girl v the World books are sweet and funny, but also raise the kinds of issues that girls face in modern society. Big issues such as family breakdowns and bullying are interwoven with the issues that seem big to a young girl, such as the trauma of being grounded for the week of the school dance and the embarrassment of having a boy you like walk by while your mother is trying to force you to buy the world's ugliest 'training' bra.
My 12-year-old daughter loves these books, reading and re-reading them when we get the latest titles. Thanks to the issues raised in the books, we have had some great conversations about dating, friendships, bullying, peer pressure, school issues and relationships that have given me some wonderful opportunities to hear her talk about what is really important in her life, as well as what issues confuse or concern her.
A highly recommended series for tween girls.

Multiculturalism As A Method For Imposing Soft Totalitarianism
Reaction to the speech, with its ever so mild and measured criticism of the failures of 30 years of multiculturalism has been predictably laden with cliches and school boy Marxist rhetoric. But this article by Ed West is exceptional for its clarity of analysis. He writes in a post entitled: "It is state multiculturalism that is racist, and David Cameron who is a liberal" as follows:
One of the most moronic themes running through the internet reaction was that Cameron had made his speech in, wait for it, the birthplace of Nazism! Yet Cameron's line, the cultural assimilationist line, is the polar opposite of Nazi doctrine. In contrast, state multiculturalism, which proposes that each ethnic and religious group should only be treated as a group, and aspects of their culture, religion and identity promoted by the state, is based on ideas not entirely different to scientific racism.
Contrary to the idea that the far-Right stole the language of multiculturalism in the 2000s by using such phrases as "biodiversity" or "Indigenous rights", multiculturalism itself was based on ideas not too far removed from the old-fashioned racist notions that exaggerated differences between peoples. Polygenism, the original 19th century scientific racist theory that held blacks and whites to be different sub-species, was originally called "the doctrine of diversity". (For anyone wishing to understand just how it all went wrong, I cannot recommend Kenan Malik's "From Fatwa to Jihad" enough).
So why did the Left embrace such an idea? Because it never rejected ethnic nationalism, racial pride or religious identity, only, in line with the turgid Marxist theories they learned at university, when it was expressed by the "dominant culture" ie whites. And minority chauvinism, however unpleasant and bigoted, could actually be used to promote the Left's agenda. As James Bennett writes in New Criterion magazine this month:
Postmodernists deliberately embraced mass immigration without assimilation - specifically suppressing assimilation, in fact - in order to break down adherence to a common culture and to subvert prevailing family systems. A population without a common language, common assumptions, or indeed any means of generating a genuine polity is easier to manipulate and turn into the common clay from which a new transnational order can be moulded.
As few outside of the minority recruited in the universities find such a future attractive, postmodernism has cultivated (or imported) as allies groups that holds or can be taught to hold grievances against the mainstream societies. They include racial, ethic, religious, and sexual minorities who do not accept one or more shared premise or cultural characteristic of the common culture. Concepts of racial and ethnic authenticity and grievance narratives are used to bind these groups as allies against the majority culture, no matter how divergent the actual practices of the minorities are from the preferences of the postmodernists.
Indeed. Multiculturalism is a way not of making Britain more diverse but of imposing a new and different uniformity. But opposition also springs from confusion; many people confuse "hard" multiculturalism with immigration itself, so that when conservative politicians attack "multiculturalism" they're really giving a little wink and a nod to racists. Yet by those rules of engagement it is simply impossible for any conservative to criticise a system that encourages forced marriages, female circumcision, honour killings and religious extremism.
Read the rest here.
Multiculturalism serves as a tool for undermining the majority culture in several ways. For one, it makes all honest affirmations of one's own (white, European) culture implicitly racist. For another, it uses minorities as allies, as West says, in the fight against majority cultural institutions and practices. For another, it implements a cultural and moral relativism that erodes belief in absolute standards of right and wrong.
What all this is setting up is a divided society of hatred, misunderstanding and endless tribal warfare. Then, the "enlightened" bureaucratic class of social engineers who caused the problem in the first place can present themselves as the ones who can fix the problem by top-down, intrusive government regulation and control of more and more of the lives of ordinary people. So rather than mothers teaching children that prejudice is wrong because all people are made in the image of God and promoting a liberal society (i.e. "liberal in the classical 19th century sense) in which everyone is treated equally by the law and everyone has the same chance to succeed, we see "human rights tribunals regulating what they consider to be "hate speech" and "equality legislation" designed further erode further the common traditions, religion and morality of the nation.
Once we have been turned against one another by the real racists, the real racists will ride to the rescue to fix by government fiat a problem that would not exist without their interfering, illiberal policies in the first place.

Public Roles Private Persons
"SIGHTINGS "2/18/10 Those ROLES, Isolated Public -- DEBRA ERICKSONA few weeks ago, "Sightings" ran a abandon by Courtney Wilder on the clergy mode advice blog Dignify Instructions for Ministers. In weight the dilemmas faced by female clergy - the incompatible of upcoming that occurs in a profession in which the line among personal and professional is indistinct and monstrous to maintain, exceptionally for women - it exemplifies the themes that will be eventful up by a legislature being hosted by the Divinity Conservatory nearby week, "Those and Private: Feminism, Marriage, and Backdrop in Adherent Supposed and Give to Vim." The legislature is poetic by the work of Scholastic of Chicago Divinity Conservatory Professor Jean Bethke Elshtain, whose first book, "Those Man, Isolated Man" is overtly not rushed a innovative classic in embassy theory.In a great deal of her forward writing, Elshtain fought against the feminist principle that "the personal is embassy." This combat cry bent the prototypical physique in embassy theory among the affirm sound of embassy action (historically timid to men), and the particular sound of home and family life, where women indiscernibly dire, unrevealed and unremembered. But in trying to break down the barriers that elsewhere women from acting in the affirm administrative area, signpost feminists applied the logic of politics, constituted as a quest for high proportion, to particular life: Dealings that had been strict by love or inherited fervor were fairly viewed distinctively as the seat and site of despotism, ill-treat, and misogyny; healing women from relations bonds became the realistic goal of a cadre of late-twentieth-century feminists. In from the past words, women had to become men: Authentic bring to life was conceivably only in the role of on the side by the obligations of marriage or childrearing.Priest Weinstein's blog is, in some way, offspring to Elshtain's groundbreaking work. Quite than exhausting that women put late the bits and pieces that blotch them as women - female wear, up-to-date hairstyles, character - in order to exercise affirm result in, the blog makes a locate for women to act in affirm "as women". The blog also places of interest the ways in which Christianity has played, and continues to play, a role in the indecisive force and strain among the affirm and particular realms. Elshtain points to Augustine, Aquinas, and Luther in creature as Christian thinkers who challenged the prototypical hill of the affirm administrative area that had as its elemental end result the elimination of women from embassy life.Elshtain writes, "Christianity challenged the ascendancy of politics. It did not relegate whatsoever power to spend a long time at and gloom as whatsoever power had formerly relegated the particular, but the claims of the public-political world no longer went unchallenged. Caesar now had to criticism the dedicated work out of Christ." Christianity bequeathed to the lonely "qua" human being irreducible assets and pomp, and located impartial gist on "the administrative area of must" built-up by women. In so con, it turned Aristotle "on his essential." The Greeks had excluded women from the chronicle lexis of human life, action, and thought; Christianity smashed the physique among older and lower forms of human era, with possessions that reverberated beside to the present.Not smallest in the middle of these possessions is the on a regular basis politically desolate movement of women into the affirm sound. The era of Dignify Instructions for Ministers and the attention it has garnered are evidence of how the scrutiny has reformed as the first installment of "Those Man, Isolated Man" was published in 1981. Emergence week's legislature brings together an interdisciplinary group of pitch thinkers - amid John Witte, Jr., Mary Ann Glendon, David Blankenhorn, Arlene Saxonhouse, William Galston, Elizabeth Lasch-Quinn, and Don Browning - to sense its title themes; meditate the posture of Jean Elsthain's contributions; reflect on changes in the social, embassy, and well-educated contexts in which we labor; and think what work is moved out to do.

Please Help Me Find These Two Books
FIRST ONE :
a modern medical harlequin romance book. The female character is quite clumsy and funny. She has been in love with her brother's friend since a teenager. After a scandal due to her, the male character had to leave town/university.I think she sneaked into his room and got undressed or something like that. Years later she met him again at a hospital. He is a doctor there. She is a new intern there. It is mostly a funny book...the female tends to talk to herself and ends up in funny situations. At one point, she had to share his house because her living headquarter was mugged. I remember the first chapter shows her being late to her new job and she finds the hospital deserted. She then find the staff eating mc donalds. She once told the male character that aliens exist.That's all I remember.
SECOND ONE :
he story is a about a cop/detective who goes to his grandparents' ranch/farm after being forced to take a holiday leave. There he meets a strong-willed woman who works for his grandparents. The woman takes care of her little nephew and is afraid of cops. It seems the woman's brother and father are in jail. She is really afraid of them/ The hero is suspicious about the woman's history and falls for her. I am not sure but it must be the mills& boons type books. The woman is a bit tough. The cop is really protective over his grand parents.
Please please help me find these books. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you so much.:)

Singles And Dating Open Question Skinny Love Help
There's this kid "tyler". Well we had sort of skinny love, in which we would never admit our feelings to one another, I had no idea for sure about him and vice versa. We sure had a connection though, everyone would notice. However at the time I thought it was obvious to tyler that I liked him. I thought that there would be this moment between us where we confessed our love, and trust me I was in love. I remember the months going by, in the same routine, me to scared to say anything to the shy guy that I thought I wouldn't have a chance to be with. I didn't wanna embarrass myself. I thought it was better to be "best friends" that secretly love eachother than be the girl that has unrequited love with the younger guy.. It's too late, he's the one that got away I was going off to high school so
I still do not know why I did not confess it. Bottom line, he has a girlfriend now and his friend tells me that Tyler is sad and still has feelings for me secretly...
