Pack Heavy
When it comes to packing, forget the old “travel light” mantra of your younger years. Pack lots of extra shirts and underwear for the inevitable accident and a handful of plastic bags to carry damp toothbrushes and dirty clothes. Even a small child can learn to roll clothes to reduce wrinkling.

Two of America’s funniest women took on new TV roles this week, and both bear watching.
“The Roseanne Show” debuted on a high note, with its host arriving onstage via cherry picker and tossing rose petals and photos of herself to a revved-up crowd. The syndicated show, scheduled pre-Oprah in many markets, is sometimes hilarious and sometimes embarrassing — just like the comic herself. Her first guest was Whoopi Goldberg, and the two launched into a lively tangle over the Starr report. Read the rest of this entry »

A balloon is a seemingly harmless object of such great pleasure for young children.
Yet as quickly as that balloon can pop, a child can inhale it and that little piece of latex can seal off the lungs and stop the child from breathing. Balloons are one of the leading causes of death in children younger than age 5. Read the rest of this entry »

To determine where the errors are being made, a flow chart of the billing process was prepared and evaluated. (See Illustration D)
Flow charts help visualize the flow of a process, step-by-step. This evaluation led to the conclusion that most of the errors were occurring between the creation of the quote and the creation of the sales order. Preventative measures were put in place and work began on a way to automate this function. By automating this function many errors and the double effort will be eliminated, which will reduce costs and increase profits and most importantly, customer satisfaction.

Total quality management, Deming, Six Sigma, ISO 9000……why so much talk about quality management? With computers, instant communication and the move to global markets via the World Wide Web, quality has become a competitive edge.

Once the 1970 anti-discrimination law was on the statute book, individuals gained the right to challenge discriminatory practices.

They also sought and gained financial compensation from employers who failed to live up to their legal obligations. In 1993 a court case removed the ceiling on compensation awards in sex and race discrimination and thus made discrimination a costly business for employer. Within two years average award in sex discrimination cases had risen by 31% and in race discrimination cases by 63% (Equal Opportunity Review 1994 no 67 1996).

The writers at Y&R must all be sitting around thinking, “let’s add some drama to the Sharon and Nick baby story”. And what kind of drama do you think they are adding? Having Nick and Sharon agonize over whether or not they think the baby could be Matts’!!!!!! Of course the fans know, or believe they know that this is absolutely not possible. But soaps have a way of turning the impossible into the possible with just the stroke of a pen.

Ross and Katy are on their way off the show, but what a show they have put on for the fans.
Well I think that Tricia and vision Ross have just about reached the end of their great run on the show. After what happens in the next few days Tricia will not have any where else to go but a padded room I think. But what a run it has been.

Olivia continues to ignore the very good advice of her family and friends regarding Malcolm and Nate. Even the advice of wise Aunt Mamie is dismissed faster than you can say no. What has gotten into this woman?
