Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice bed stand for the price I purchased this for more storage space in a small bedroom. It serves that purpose very well. The stand came with some minor cosmetic flaws (I.e small cracks that can only be seen close up) none of which are bad enough to justify retiring the item. All and all, it's a nice stand and a pretty good deal for the price,

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Looks good. Quality not so good The drawers do not slide well & the baskets don't sit well even with nothing in them. They should have put a shelf in for them to sit on. They do look nice

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Storage for Small Space I especially like the size for I needed it to be placed in a small space. The ivory color is nice in almost any setting. The storage drawer is good and sturdy. The other two compartments are good also, with exception of not having a platform under each basket. Anything heavy causes the basket to give slightly. I must use caution when sliding them outward. Overall, It is good quality and met the requirements I needed.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Need Quality Program Kirkland's need to implement a quality program to at lease look at the commodities they are shipping before being sent to a customer. This item once I opened the package was in shambles. The tops was broken off, the back removed, other broken areas, and a large crack down one side. I did return it and Kirkland's refunded my money with no problem, but this was in shambles and should have never been offered for sale to a customer whether new, or long time as I am.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from This product has just the right touch to the room I have a combination bedroom/office space and need all the storage I can find. I bought two chests. The storage chests being just the right size ( not too wide not to long) not only make a decorative end table for the bed but allow me to store office accessories in one chest and sewing supplies in the other chest. Freeing up much space in the room. My only disappointment was that the straw drawers were not big enough to hold files, which is what I really wanted them for. But this was my mistake for not paying attention to the height of the basket. I only checked the width and the depth. but I made them work. The quality of the product is good. The regular draw I found only needs to be waxed on the inside to help the drawer open and close a little bit smoother. All in all I love the look and the function of these chests.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from 3 drawer storage chest Love my new 3 drawer storage chest! Perfect fit for the space I needed it in. The color is perfect and I am using it in the bathroom to store toilet paper and essentials! Perfect!

Forget Wall Street: Invest in Potatoes

(Caution: Image Heavy) We all know what’s happened to the stock market over the past year. No news there. A whole lot of people lost a whole lot of their retirement and goodness knows what else over the past year. A whole lot of people are going to have to work long past their ‘sell by’ dates just to get through.

What Aunt Toby is here to tell you is that there are other ‘investments’ that sometimes do a whole lot better than fancy financial instruments, ‘regular’ and ‘preferred’ and Class A, B or C.

I’m talking about…potatoes (more…)

Aunt Toby explains investments

Fasten your seatbelts kids because Aunt Toby is going to tell you one of the most important ‘home truths’ you will ever hear. Commit this to memory. Write it down and embroider it for a wee bit of framed art over your desk. Never forget it and don’t allow anyone to ever tell you otherwise.

Here it is: Investments are things that you spend money on that bring in income.

Income. Real cash flow. Revenue streams (sort of like the Mississippi only with greenbacks). Dividends. Interest. Rents. Payments to YOU.

Why am I saying this? (more…)

What do you know?

This weekend, the DH, our son and I went to see the newly released film, ‘Defiance’ with Daniel Craig, Leiv Schreiber and Jamie Bell, which is about the fantastic and almost unbelievable story of a family of brothers who escaped to the woods in Belarussia in 1941 and managed to save over 1000 Jews from the Nazis by hiding underground, creating a series of communities in the woods, and frankly stealing and attacking the German army and collaborators wherever they found them. One of the most interesting scenes in the film is one where a great number of Jews from a town are rescued and are asked, while they stand in line in front of a make-shift registration area in the woods, what they know how to do. A watchmaker demonstrates that his skills can be turned to repairing a rifle. Others announce themselves as nurses, dressmakers, boot makers and so on, worthy additions to the Bielski Brothers’ ever expanding world. (more…)

The Light at the End of the Tunnel — and how you and your family can get there faster

moneyOK – everyone comfy? Want more coffee?

We’re back in the kitchen (because that is where the food, the heat and the good seats are). We’ve talked about (to review, in case anyone is taking notes here and no – there are no essay questions on the final) saving money, starting a garden, “doing one thing” to improve your situation, and finding out who your network is.

Today, we’re going to grasp the wriggly monster with both hands: The country is in the toilet. Really. The news gets worse every day. It looks as if we are “staring down the barrel of a gun” and “hitting the wall” – simultaneously. (Being able to do both at the same times is going to take the skills and physique of a contortionist, but I digress.)

And now Elliot Spitzer gets out there and basically says that all the money that has been used to bail out the banks and AIG was wasted – like we didn’t know that already.

But he did talk about something that we WILL talk about which is:
“government investment in the long-range competitiveness of our nation, not in a failed business model…”

What I want you to do, right now (and you know I am all about the “right now”) is to take that phrase “government investment in the long-range competitiveness of our nation” and replace a couple of words so that it reads like this:

“personal investment in the long-range competitiveness of ME” or “family investment in the long-range competitiveness of family members.” (more…)

Role of Information Technology in
Managing Organizational Change and Organizational Interdependence

Ramstrom (1974) notes that the future organizations would be facing a shortage and a redundancy of information. To solve the problems of "information-glut" arising from the evermore affordable information and communication technologies that provide for evermore high-capacity, fast, long-distance transmission, organizations would need to introduce methods for "selective dispersion of information" to their various parts. Work tasks would be grouped in organizational units created around a common program for information processing. Improvements in telecommunications will make it easier to control [which will be primarily a matter of information exchange] organizational units dispersed over different parts of the world. Advances in telecommunications [such as videophone], coupled with diminishing costs, would result in increased distance-communication. Indirect communication would be preferred for well-structured information for routinized, "preprogrammed" decision processes.

The design of the organizational structure should take into account and take advantage of the information and information- processing supports which could be designed, and in the not- distant future will be inexpensive. The technology itself is neutral, but it can greatly increase humanity's woe or welfare, depending on how well it is used. What is missing is the full recognition of the strong interactions between this technology and organization design, and the consequent need to take a systems approach to the joint design of organizations and their information support systems (Holt, 1992).

Unlike the systems theory view of organizational constructs, the most common approach taken by empirical researchers has been in terms of goal achievement or the degree to which an organization attains its goals. This poses a problem of identifying or postulating the goals, manifest and latent, of an organization. Some researchers seek to avoid the goal approach and argue in favor of the "resource" approach. While there is much merit in emphasizing the crucial importance of resources - or in ,systemic terms, of input processes and input goals - it ignores the other three systemic processes. On the other hand, the economist's bias of measuring outputs in relation to inputs overlooks the other systemic processes that eventually effect the organization's overall survival or growth. Clearly, the systems approach has its advantages. Moreover, the problems encountered in defining an organization's goals can be avoided by indirectly deriving the goals - by positing the three generic goals of input, transformation, and output (Evan, 1993).

KSEB Waives Power Bill for patients using life saving equipments

Hits smaller text tool iconmedium text tool iconlarger text tool icon

PalliativeThe Kerala State Electricity Board Limited (KSEB) has decided to provide terminally ill patients on life support systems with free power. The KSEB scheme launched last year had limited the amount of free power to 100 units, but the Board has now decided not to bill the quantum of electricity consumed by such equipment. Some life-saving equipment such as oxygen concentrators consume 200 to 250 units of power every month. The scheme is applicable for a variety of systems like suction machines and electrically operated air beds, a Board official said.

Domestic consumers, who need this support, can approach respective electrical section offices with the certificate from a government medical practitioner stating that the life-supporting system is essential for the survival of the patient.

The KSEB is in the process of estimating the number of deserving patients and the cost they have to bear on account of the scheme.

"Since the Health Department does not have a ready-made list of such patients, the Board is awaiting applications from the general public. Hopefully more people will now benefit from the revised scheme," said Dinesh D, Chief Engineer (Commercial and Tariff), KSEB. It will take two to three months to give a final shape to the scheme, he said.

As per the GO issued on February 13 this year, the revenue shortfall incurred by the Board, on account of excess power consumption over and above 100 units per patient for a month, will be compensated by the government.

KSLA viewers become 'good Samaritans' in bike thefts case - KSLA News 12 Shreveport, Louisiana News Weather & Sports

KSLA viewers become 'good Samaritans' in bike thefts case

Kiya and Collin Hall show off their new bikes given by a good Samaritan who saw our story on their bikes being stolen and took action Kiya and Collin Hall show off their new bikes given by a good Samaritan who saw our story on their bikes being stolen and took action

Three separate KSLA News 12 viewers became 'good Samaritans,' one day after watching our story of a brother and sister who had the bikes stolen this week; They were bikes each had won separately as top readers of their school in Shreveport.

We caught up with Bossier City gun range owner Paul Murray inside the Bossier City Walmart Friday morning, January 17th, as he picked out two brand new bicycles for 8-year old Collin Hall and his 10 year old sister, Kiya.

Each won bicycles for being named the top readers among all students at Midway Elementary School in Shreveport back in December, only to have someone steal them Monday night. That's despite the fact that the bikes were double-chained in their carport outside their Shreveport home.

Murray recalled our story from Thursday night, saying, "We're sitting there watching the news and saw your story and my wife just looked at me and the little girl crying. She knows little girls crying, I can't handle that." "She looked at me and said, 'Well, what are you gonna do?' I said, 'I'm going to make this right.'"

Murray did just that. He got on the phone on Thursday, first with KSLA and then with Collin and Kiya's mother, Patryce Hall. He explained that he wanted to buy them both new bikes. He was among the more than half dozen viewers who called us that night, wanting to do something for the kids.

So back at the Walmart store on Friday morning, after Murray bought those two bikes we drove to Hall's home in Shreveport, to deliver the bicycles to Collin and Kiya. We were greeted in the driveway by Patryce. And the kids quickly came outside:

PATRYCE HALL: "That's Mr. Paul Murray and he has something for you guys."
KIYA HALL: "Okay."
PAUL MURRAY: "Saw you on TV last night. You broke my heart."

Then, not long after Paul lifted the bikes out of his truck and handed them to Collin and Kiya, Bossier City viewer Jennifer Netterville arrived at the house, holding two bicycle locks:

JENNIFER NETTERVILLE: "Some heavy-duty locks."
PATRYCE HALL: "So they won't get stolen again."
JENNIFER NETTERVILLE: "Yes. And they offer up to (an) 850 dollar guaranty back for the bike if they do get stolen."
PATRYCE HALL: "Oh, that's awesome. Thank you." (She hugs Jennifer)
JENNIFER NETTERVILLE: "You are so welcome. Well, your kids are great kids."
KIYA HALL: "How do you do it? (operate the lock)
PATRYCE HALL: "I know how to do it."

Then another viewer, Jerry Bowman, arrived at the house. "Ms. Kiya, nice meeting you." Jerry brought two new bicycle helmets with him and handed one each to Collin and Kiya. While hugging Kiya he said, "I'm so proud of you. You stay in the school and do a good job too, okay?

Bowman is the eldest son of the late Joyce Bowman. She had represented this district on both the Shreveport City Council and the Caddo Parish Commission. Bowman said he knew his mother would have wanted him to help Collin and Kiya and felt compelled to help out. Jerry Bowman also bought two new bikes, as well. He said he will give them to Midway Elementary on Tuesday for the next 'top readers' contest.

And it turns out, Collin Hall said he knew the gifts were coming:

COLLIN HALL: "I had read the thing on the web page on the internet."
REPORTER: "So you knew?"
COLLIN HALL: "Yes sir."
REPORTER: "What do you think?"
COLLIN HALL: "I loved it!"

Kiya told us that one of the big reasons why she had been so excited about the bike she's won as a top reader was that she was going to learn how to ride a bike. That made the theft all the more devastating. So, we helped get her started a bit.

As Kiya sat on her newest bike, Jerry Bowman stood on one side of her and Paul Murray on the other. Paul leaned in and instructed: "When you start going just pedal forward. Just go slow okay. This is your brakes."

Then, slowly at first, Paul and Jerry began walking beside Kiya as she began to pedal. It became her first lesson. As Paul, Jerry and Kiya returned to the driveway, the assembled group broke out in a small cheer. Patryce Hall then offered, in the background, "That's the first step. That's all we need!"

Boehner listens as Obama speaks during a ceremony honoring the President's Cup golf teams in Washington

If some future president honestly wants to fix dysfunctional government, then the repair process must begin at home: with radical restructuring of his own White House staff.

According to a report to Congress, the White House now employs 456 people, earning an average salary of more than $80,000 a year, with average raises this year of $4,400. These numbers don’t include hundreds of armed services personnel assigned to the “Military Office” of the White House, or additional employees working with the Secret Service and other security details, or domestic staff for the executive mansion, or hundreds more serving the National Security Council and reporting to the President. The total number of taxpayer-funded positions that keep this president functioning by toiling away at the White House itself or nearby offices would reach at least 1,500 and, according to some estimates, over 3,000.

This is both absurd and dangerous, of course. The fact that it’s impossible to get a straight, authoritative answer to the question “how many people work for the president?” reflects the chaotic insanity that has prevails in the deeply dysfunctional executive branch of government. The White House staff has exploded in recent years based on one of the core mistakes of liberalism: the unshakable faith that the best way to assure more efficient performance of any operation is to hire more people to do the job. In fact, anyone with administrative experience can tell you that beyond a certain point the opposite is true – enlisting more personnel often adds to confusion and exhaustion for the bosses, leading to reductions rather than enhancements to efficiency.
With 456 individuals on his personal staff, President Obama can’t possibly remember the names, faces, backgrounds and job descriptions of more than a few dozen of them, and yet he’s supposed to be responsible for the noble public service of each of his aides. Imagine that the new president had decided to limit his staff to people he actually knew and might supervise, employing 45 dedicated bureaucrats rather than 456. With this smaller, tighter inner circle, with greatly enhanced access to the president, isn’t it at least possible that the bumbling boss might have learned something about the website problems with before that disaster became a national punch line? Perhaps one of the reasons that this administration faces chronic problems with accountability is that there are so many hundreds of faceless, pointless White House drones on whom to shift the blame.

For instance, would the Republic survive if Uncle Sam sacrificed the indispensable services of one A. Axios, listed on the White House manifest as “Digital Creative Director”—a title that seems more appropriate for Madison Avenue than for Pennsylvania Avenue? Does the continued functioning of our government truly require a “Deputy Director of Let’s Move!” or a “Director of Video for Digital Strategy” or “An Associate Director of Content” or an “Associate Director of Public Engagement” and an “Assistant for Arrangements”? Reading through the names, titles and salaries revealed by the White House makes for a dreary, depressing assignment – it takes more than 20 tightly spaced pages to list them all, with so many names simply identified as “Policy Assistant” or “Advisor to the President.” How many times a year would most of these obscure “Advisors” actually get to see the president?

At the top of the White House staff reign 22 demigods who each draw the top salary for this sort of government work – $172,200 a year, plus a lavish benefits package, naturally. These well-compensated big shots include a few big names (Susan Rice, Valerie Jarrett, John Podesta) but a great many more count as non-entities. Even among close observers of Washington shenanigans, chances are few could go to a police line-up and identify the estimable Katy Kale, Assistant for Management and Administration, or the venerable David Simas, Director of the Office of Political Strategy and Outreach.

That last title raises another problem: well-paid public employees aren’t supposed to concern themselves with “political strategy and outreach” and that particular job ought to be handled by hirelings at the Democratic National Committee or Organizing for Action or some other frankly political outfit. Wasting public money on well-intentioned but toxic welfare programs is one thing but squandering it on partisan electioneering is something else again.

The context for this shameless stupidity makes the current overstaffing even less defensible. In 1979, I wrote the first (and still the only) comprehensive account of White House chiefs-of-staff: THE SHADOW PRESIDENTS: THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVES AND THEIR TOP AIDES. To my surprise, I discovered that before 1857, Congress appropriated absolutely nothing to pay for assistance for the president. Even when it came to secretarial functions like answering letters or arranging a schedule, early presidents had to rely on volunteer efforts from young nephews or sons-in-law or, in the case of James K. Polk, from his adoring wife, Sarah. By the time Lincoln came to power, Congress appropriated modest salaries for a secretary to the president, and an assistant secretary to the president, so Honest Abe somehow had to win the Civil War with a White House staff of precisely two. Even the explosion of government programs under the New Deal failed to provide a comparable explosion in presidential advisors: not counting the uniformed personnel detailed to the president during war time, FDR managed to conduct the greatest struggle in human history with at most three dozen executive mansion aides, including his famous “Brains Trust.”

Today, neither president Obama nor his spectacularly feckless chief-of-staff, Denis McDonough, have the slightest idea what is going on in their name in the dank, dark corners of the vast White House bureaucracy. In fact, the president might actually find it liberating, even exhilarating, to get rid of some of these aimless hordes who draw fat taxpayer-funded salaries. Any movement in that direction would surely draw warm public support.

The Republicans, in fact, should run with this issue in 2014 and beyond since the Congressional experience of John Boehner actually provides them with deadly ammunition. When the GOP took over the House in 2010 after four years of Nancy Pelosi’s misrule, they found 1,570 staff members assigned to House committees. Boehner and the boys promised radical staffing cuts and they delivered, dropping committee staff positions by 19% (to 1,277) by 2014. Even the skeptical USA TODAY acknowledged the effectiveness of this reform in “saving taxpayers hundreds of millions.”
GOP presidential aspirants should take public pledges to bring such cuts to the White House. In fact, a conservative hopeful might begin a countdown exactly 365 days before the 2016 election and identify on each of those days one specific White House job that he would cut from the government employment rolls. That would still leave more than 80 people to advise and assist the president and would leave the rest of us with some hope of reform and recovery in our fractured federal executive.

Durant renovates water clarification-system; cuts water production in half

By  |

DURANT, OK -- Water from nearby lakes and rivers flows into a clarifier-system at the Durant Water Treatment Plant. It's the first step in the cleaning process.

"We'll bring the water in, and what this clarification system does is just that. It clarifies the water. Reacts with our chemicals, dirt goes to the bottom, we filter it ... and drinking water," said Water Treatment Plant Operator Jeremy McBride

It's one of two tanks at the plant. But the other clarifier is closed for repairs.

"We're gonna basically replace all the moving parts," McBride said. "Which is gear-boxes, upgrade motors and do things like that. Because the existing has been in service since 1982."

Last week they tore out the old metal arms and skimmers. This week they're sand blasting and painting the metal, McBride said.

Assistant City Manager Ralph Houser expects the project to wrap up around April or May.

"Some of that depends on the parts we have to order," he said. "Some of those parts have to be custom made."

With one clarifier down, the plant can produce around five million gallons of water per day. The city uses about three million gallons a day in the winter. They plan to have the project finished before demand peaks in the summer.

"But July 4th, we might need six or seven million gallons," Houser said.

The plant provides water to 25,000 customers. The renovations to the tank will cost around $400,000. The money comes from the Durant City Utility Authority.

Thailand Methodist Mission Building Fund Update

November 25, 2014

We are now back in the States for a 10 weeks to raise funds for an urgent need at Blessing Home.  Blessing Home needs to buy the row-building adjacent to us that is up for sale.  It is urgent for two reasons.

1.  We need to buy quickly before it sells out from underneath us.  We need to expand the sanctuary on the first floor to accomodate overflowing groups in worship at Life Center UMC and to hold all of the guardians of the Blessing Home kids for trainings and special events.  If we miss out, we may never be able to expand.

2.  As an answer to our prayers, we now have new career missionaries coming to serve at Blessing Home Ground Zero.  Joshua and Jessica Johnston will be serving with us and are currently raising support so they can begin serving in the summer of 2015.

It is very difficult to find housing near Blessing Home that is safe for a family with three young daughters that is also affordable on a very modest missionary income.  So we need to have missionary housing at Blessing Home Ground Zero available for them.

We must raise $110,000 to purchase the property and make it usable (it is a bare concrete and brick shell at the moment).  As always, by Thai law, foundations cannot have mortgages or any financing, we must pay for all properties with cash.  So we are asking all of the churches and individual supporters to give generous special offerings to the Building Fund.  It is our goal to have all of the funds raised by the end of January 2015 so we can purchase the building.

In the short time that we  have been in the States over $9,000 has been given to the Building Fund.  We will be excited to see this chart get colored up.
