  • Oddities of Tucson Arizona

    Thursday 22 January 2009

    to Tucson has been an adventure in learning after spending most of my life in New York State. It’s a wonderful place to live with the excellent and the beautiful sunsets, but at the same time there are some oddities about Tucson. I’m going to right in.

    One of the most interesting things that I have learned since here is that after you flush your toilet it comes back to you ten days later as your tap water. I gained this tidbit of information listening in on a conversation in a grocery line. I found the fact mildly disturbing, but not distasteful. It did make me wonder what magical process the waste water goes through during those ten days to make it palatable.

    Operating a motor vehicle in Tucson can be dangerous. For some a large number of drivers in this city come to a complete stop at green lights. Is it possible that the bright green color stuns them because they abide in a desert? Tucson averages about 80,000 rear end collisions every year. This would be a great place to open a repair shop or an eye clinic.

    There is a of who wear cowboy hats in Tucson, and while not having an aversion to that type of headgear it does make me feel like I’m in an old western . The ’s wearing the hats seem to saunter rather than walk. I am on the alert for stampedes.

    I will bore you with one more item of interest. A house panel ( I have no idea what that is, but it sounds important ) voted this week to allow to pull a gun without ending up in jail if they consider themselves in danger. Is this the Wild West? Folks would be immune from prosecution if it was a defensive display of their weapon. Can I pull a knife if I’m feeling frisky?

    I always try to maintain an edge, and I’m proud of my ability to overcome . I now lap my water straight from the toilet in order to stay of the .

    Wedding Invitations 101 - Ideas for the Budget-Minded Bride

    Friday 16 January 2009

    Your are the first your guests will have of your , but if you’re not careful, they can they can quickly cut into your . Luckily there are many options available that convey your sense of style and set the tone for your - and are also very affordable.

    Your reflect the tone of your , whether it’s black tie or casual chic. More formal weddings may require more formal , which are traditionally white or ecru and engraved with black or charcoal ink. A square of tissue paper is also inserted to protect the type. While classic and understated, the cost of these can quickly add up to the purchase price of a small car, but with slightly better gas . What’s a -minded bride to do?

    More and more couples are veering from standard and choosing papers in unusual sizes and colors, incorporating interesting and using graphics, motifs and monograms. Many couples are also doing away with the traditional unsealed inner envelope, which not only reduces costs, but also reduces waste. And besides, how many of your guests are going to remember how many components were included in their ? (Hint: if you DO have guests who will notice, seat them all together so they can drive each other crazy)

    Another option is to purchase materials to create your own . Thanks to the of scrapbooking and paper stores, it’s never been easier to create unique and memorable . Do you and your guy have a favorite color, song, vacation destination or hobby? Don’t be afraid to incorporate it into your . Your guests would rather see a heartfelt than have to discard the tissue paper that protects a random printer’s . (Not that there’s anything wrong with using a printer. But hey…the cost of those little sheets really adds up!)

    At this point, you might be saying, “But traditional IS my style! How can I afford it?” Put those to rest, girl! Make some “test” on plain paper, playing with font size and type, then purchase blank and matching envelopes (which are available at scrapbooking and hobby stores and mass retailers ) to print the .

    No matter what kind of you choose, be sure to them 8-10 weeks prior to your so your guests have time to plan…and to shop for a really awesome gift!

    WAIT…THERE’S MORE

    Remember when you were a little girl and you dreamed about your perfect , right down to the ? Why didn’t anyone tell us about the reply ? Or the reception ? Why are there so many ?

    Response Response are usually sent with your and include a self-addressed stamped envelope. These are used to help determine how many will be attending and usually include menu options for your guests to choose from. But I’m going to tell you a secret: you can create your own reply . Just purchase small with matching envelopes, print them yourself and then insert them into the when you are addressing them. Best of all, you can do this whether you’re making your own or having them professionally printed.

    Reception Reception are included inside to let guests know when and where the post- festivities will begin. Traditionally, this is a small card that asks guests to join the newlyweds and their families for a celebratory reception, and gives the date, place, and time. But remember the “Response ” secret I revealed above? It works here, too! Print them yourself or even (gasp) print the reception information inside the itself. It will give your guests one less thing to keep track of and save you lots of .

    AND EVEN MORE…

    Believe it or not, there are still other paper-related items to think about.

    Programs Sure, programs provide useful information and make charming mementos, but there’s no need to break the . While some couples choose to do a booklet type program, -minded couples are using simple card with a vellum overlay, tied together with a ribbon that matches your color scheme. Others are simply printing them at (or a friend’s ) on unique paper that plays up the colors or motif. After all, how many (besides your closest and family) are going to keep it as a memento? They’d rather you use the you saved on programs to help with your , make a car payment or buy a lottery ticket.

    Menu The idea behind menu is that no one likes to down to a meal when they have no idea what they’re about to be served (think school cafeterias). However, this can easily be combined with the Reply Card (see above). And of course if the meal is buffet-style, menu are not really necessary, since there is usually something to please everyone.

    If you do feel that menu are necessary, it’s simple to print them yourself…just pick up some good old card . If there’s a good story behind why you chose a certain (you’re serving New York Style cheesecake because you in New York or hot dogs because you at a ball ), including this story adds a unique to your menu .

    One thing that may be very helpful to all involved (you, the , the bartender and your guests) is to create a drink card or two. If you’re limiting the open bar to a certain amount or type of drink, a drink card is the perfect place to that out. Just get an easel or frame so the card can be posted at the bar.

    Place Are you having a buffet-type meal at your reception? If so, skip this section, since place are not necessary. For the rest of you, place are tent-shaped that are placed at each place setting to show where they should . You can easily print them from your computer, but why not make the place for your reception a little unique? Make your favors do double-duty by attaching a name tag to each one and using them as place . If you’re making your own favors, it only adds one simple step, but saves you in the long run. You can also use stones with hand-painted names or tie name tags around wrapped silverware. Use your ! Place don’t necessarily have to be one more for the printer.

    Thank You Ok, brides. You all know what these are, and there’s really no need to have them printed. Simple thank you are readily available almost anywhere, and as a , most of them even say “thank you.” Your handwritten message inside is what’s important, so invest most of your time there. As a , these should be sent out no later than one month after your . If you receive gifts prior to the , those thank you should be sent out immediately.

    Save the Date What? No really…I didn’t know what these were. Here’s the : save the date are sent to guests pretty much the second after the groom pops the question, so that guests can plan . If you send out your announcements 8-10 weeks prior to your , there is probably no need for save the date . However, if you have or who will be traveling great distances (especially from other countries), a little heads-up would be nice. However, this can be done by greeting card, or . That should be sufficient to “save the date.” If you do feel that you need to send save the date , you can easily make them yourself.

    IN A

    Creating your own and other items can save you lots of , freeing up your for other things. Just keep a couple of things in mind:

    • If you are printing pieces yourself, try to use a consistent or complementary font on all of the pieces you create.
    • Before addressing , be sure to have complete addresses available. This will help reduce the number of mistakes made during the addressing process. (The less mistakes you make, the fewer you have to use. This saves !)
    • You don’t have to do it all yourself. Your family and will be more than willing to help create, print and assemble your and other items. After all, isn’t that what you keep them around for?
    • With a little and a of determination, your -friendly will be just as beautiful as big- , but at a fraction of the cost.

    PKD (Philip K Dick)

    Wednesday 17 December 2008

    The three letters “PKD” have become a shorthand for readers of Philip K. Dick’s to identify themselves and find others. The man’s initials inspire admiration among fans and ridicule among detractors.

    I had the great honor and of spending ten years with a great genius. Those were the final ten years of Phil’s life.

    Falsely branded as a -damaged drug addict, Philip K. Dick continued producing stories in which the ideas of the great philosophers entered into concrete reality. The allegations of insanity hurt him, but he refused to engage in a futile argument with his accusers.

    If producing one of his finest works, A Scanner Darkly, did not prove that he had all of his faculties, then any effort to demonstrate his was futile.

    Yes, he was diagnosed as manic depressive, and later as bipolar (the same thing, with a new label), but his to experience wide mood swings had nothing to do with drugs. His hyperactivity was simply a symptom of his premature birth. He also suffered from asthma and hypertension, due to his having been born six weeks early. Phil and his twin sister were tiny . In fact, Phil was one of the smallest to survive, and his twin sister did not survive. Medical science has advanced considerably since 1928, yet even today, premature experience a of medical problems as they grow up, and they do not live as long as full-term .

    When my husband began experiencing visions in February 1974, he might have been suffering minor strokes due to his high blood pressure, which kept getting out of . At one point, he was hospitalized for ten days so the could closely monitor his blood pressure while they adjusted his medication.

    Minor strokes might explain the flashes of bright light that Phil saw, but they would not explain the content of his visionary experience. I was there, and I know that he was not abusing any substances, so you can throw that one out the window.

    Besides, there were some visible, tangible events. For example, one night the radio kept playing after I unplugged it. One afternoon a yellow van pulled up out front, and workmen in white coveralls brought half a dozen large, unlabeled cardboard into the vacant next door. We were curious, so when we found the door unlocked, we went inside. We found all of electronic equipment in the hall closet and a working telephone in the kitchen of that supposedly vacant . began pulling up in the alley behind our and sitting there for up to at a time.

    The visions stopped when we moved out of that , so I can’t help thinking that the electronic equipment in the next had something to do with Phil’s experience.

    That having been said, Phil viewed the as an attack by unknown forces followed with a rescue by equally unknown forces. It began with voices coming over our bedside radio and telling him to die, and it ended with a message of hope and healing.

    I can’t help believing that Phil experienced something very real, but that something defies explanation. He spent the last eight years of his life trying to explain it, and he wrote thousands of pages about it, but he never found a satisfying solution to the puzzle of his visionary of 1974.

    Perhaps the most interesting part of the experience was that presented themselves to him as time travelers. They said that somebody had changed , that they didn’t like the outcome, and that they were attempting to repair our to produce a more hospitable future. They introduced the idea of orthogonal time, which appears prominently in Phil’s Exegesis. They explained that alternate exist perpendicular to the that we experience, like a series of dominoes stacked above our world. The time travelers, or rather time meddlers, were capable of opening in our and dropping one or more sections of the alternate into those .

    The time travelers warned Phil that the was in danger of becoming a police state much like the scenario of George Orwell’s dystopic novel 1984. Our sets would watch us, indoctrinate us and numb our senses to the reality of an increasingly restricted life. Our and would turn us in to the authorities for the most minor offenses, fearing that they would be punished if they failed to report our smallest transgressions, such as putting out our cans on the wrong night or crossing the street in the middle of the block instead of at the corner The government would our thoughts, as well as our actions, down to the smallest detail. Orwell’s “Big Brother” was becoming a reality. Those predictions seemed possible, although improbable, in the midst of the War on Drugs. Today, on the other hand, that possibility is becoming a .

    For one thing, researchers are exploring ways of communicating directly to ’s brains with electronic devices, while others are seeking ways to receive messages directly from ’s brains with electronic devices. These efforts might seem wasted, their impossible, but they are attempting to achieve positive results. In fact, with the miniaturization of electronics, it is possible to implant a tiny receiver in a person’s ear and transmit to it, much as you might place a call to a cellular telephone.

    There’s more, and it is frightening.

    Ever since that tragic September morning in 2001, we have seen our liberties stripped away, one seemingly insignificant bit at a time. Elderly ladies are searched before boarding an airline flight, children’s toys are ripped apart or confiscated, and we are not allowed to carry bottled water or fingernail clippers past the boarding gate. We are not even allowed to lock our checked-in luggage, since that would stop strangers from opening up our suitcases to look inside. We are required to obtain passports to visit our neighboring countries, whereas in the past all we needed to cross into Mexico or Canada was a driver’s license or non-driver ID. Oh, yes, you can still enter Mexico without a passport, but you can not get back into the without one. And did you know that all the new passports contain tracking devices that enable the authorities to know exactly where you are? Is Big Brother watching you?

    I’m scaring myself, so I’ll stop here.

    Public Speaking Training on Presentation Skills - A Beginner’s Guide

    Monday 15 December 2008

    If you’re new to public speaking, then let’s start with an easy way of understanding presentation skills.

    Simply put, presentation skill is the process of efficiently, effectively, and elegantly communicating and transmitting your message to your .

    Your message may be simple or complex.

    Presentation skills can vary depending on why you’re speaking in the first place and what you’re trying to accomplish: you may be attempting to persuade and influence your , or you may be trying to inspire and enlighten, or you may be required to impart new skills and abilities, or you may just be there to report facts and data.

    Depending on what you’re trying to accomplish, you can use various presentation aids such as a flip chart, PowerPoint presentations with a projector or a whiteboard or flip chart.

    In some cases nothing at all is just fine, again depending on what you’re trying to accomplish.

    The tone of your presentation may be more or less formal depending on the context. If you know everyone in the such as a meeting of coworkers, that’s different than if you’re making a presentation to a group of you’ve never before.

    Of course the beginner public speaker may need to deal with stage fright. See my other articles if you have of public speaking.

    Presentation skills boil down to using various techniques that are very easy to learn. With a little practice, anyone can become a polished presenter.

    The best way to develop terrific presentation skills quickly is simply to take a very good presentation skills (see my articles on how to evaluate public speaking ).

    Here are some to help you with your presentation:

    * If you use PowerPoint, have a one-page bullet-point outline of your entire presentation in case the computer crashes, the projector doesn’t , or for any you can’t use your PowerPoint presentation.

    * Use the “Rule of 3″: distill your presentation down to 3 key points you want to cover. Tell them what you’ll tell them, tell them, and then tell them what you’ve told them: design your presentation in 3 parts: first an overview of your key points, then the details of your presentation, then a summary (basically a recap and repeat of the overview in the beginning).

    * “Use the 5 Minute Rule” to conquer stage fright: most of my students report that any lingering of public speaking goes away within the first 5 minutes once they get rolling with their presentation.

    * If you use PowerPoint, never read your slides out loud: the can already read them. Just put up that remind you of what you want to talk about.

    * Openings and closings are most important: psychologists call it “primacy / recency” but really the last thing you say is the last thing they’ll really hear and remember, so hammer your main points at the end and then say “thank you” and you’re done.

    Best of luck in all your public speaking!

    Things That Women Really Want in Men

    Monday 15 December 2008

    Many would agree that women spend a huge portion of their time in making sure that men would find them attractive and desirable. In fact, even when women are already married, they still strive to look perfect for their man.

    But it is quite the opposite when it comes to men who rarely even try to find out what characteristics do women like in them. If you are serious about making your girl happy or if you still haven’t found a woman to call your own, then there might be something wrong with how you present yourself and what you do.
