...there have been many occasions to get absolutely whiskey bent. You know, to wake up and essentially set the goal to get black out drunk with nothing but bourbon and cheap smiles in mind. Knowing my whiskey habit, my 21st was set to be a momentous day in whiskey drinking’s fantastic history. On my 21st I blacked out at 930 and didn’t get home till 2am (last sighting at least). Apparently in my stupor (like I said, it was a great day for whiskey drinking and I put on a clinic) I invited two different girls over to my house on my walk home with my friends from the bar. It really was a great birthday, I got really drunk all day all over the place so I remember very little in nothing but fragmented blurs. And oh yeah, the only bad part was that my house got robbed latter that night. This is what I do remember: I woke up wide-awake at 7:30 am so dehydrated that I could barely move or open my eyes. I’m fully dressed with my shoes still on, laying face down on top of the sheets with my contacts in and everything on my nightstand had been thrown across the floor. Jolted awake by the harsh reality of morning, I began to try to remember what happened the night before but I can’t get past that familiar yet fine taste of bourbon that has come to welcome me in the morning as often as the sun’s light. My next move seems obvious. I should go down stairs, get wicked high and chug water to recover and start to piece together the night. Once I got downstairs I saw that my bong was missing....

...been a few injuries, chronic fatigue and potential burnout. I decided to step back this year while training for the marathon by preventing myself in falling in the same pattern again. Often times, the best barometer of feedback is not in watts, heart data or fancy graphs. Some of the best feedback comes from our gut instincts. Finding the joy in training and being opening up to being more flexible in our regimen is just as important as all the hard interval work or getting in the volume. This said, I decided to listen to my inner voice which said, “I think I need to rest more today.” That inner voice often sent me an SOS signal calling for either a brief physical or mental break. The best advice that I can give to you as a runner is to speak to yourself as if you were your own best friend. What would you say to a good friend if she or he felt pressure to so something on plan, but knew deep inside what they really needed? What would you say to your friend if he or she said that she was really, really tired and not up for doing something you had planned together? You’d probably say that “it’s okay – we’ll get it in another time.” The best runners, who perform well consistently, often follow a structured training plan. However, they also have learned the art of listening to that inner voice and allowed for flexibility within their plan. As a runner, you need to understand and trust that it’s OK to back off. Listening to that inner voice and allowing for that flexibility...

...at Allie James, a consultant decades younger than Will and Ruth. Allie had been working with Flanagan for just over a month. She knew she had to kill the DailyDilly initiative but was reluctant to do it with the reps present. “Let’s discuss this off-line,” she said. Will slapped the table. “Come on,” he demanded. “We’re here now.” The DailyDilly reps became wide-eyed. Allie took a deep breath. If Will was going to push her, she’d be blunt. “No, then,” Allie said. “It’s not on.” Will pushed his chair back and walked out of the room. The reps started to review their presentation, but Allie stopped them with a wave of her hand. Ruth, no longer smiling, told them all she was sorry and stood up to escort everyone out. Allie knew she had just made some enemies. Half an hour later, Ruth stopped her in the corridor. “So you’re still not convinced?” “Roddy asked me to weigh in on DailyDilly for a reason,” Allie said.

...aroma. "So where did you meet?" I asked my friend Patrick as he put down his coffee cup. "In the Faculty Center in UP." "Again? How come you meet a lot of guys there? I'm always there and nothing ever happens." Patrick pointed to his face and smiled. "Che!" I replied laughing. But I knew that it was true. Patrick was not really that good looking, but he had this sexy air about him. And he had fair skin which is, for most Filipinos, a prerequisite for beauty. I looked at the mirror behind him and saw my dark, emaciated reflection. "So anyway, I was washing my face in the ground floor washroom when this comes this really cute guy. I've seen him on campus a few times before. So anyway, he goes and takes a leak," Patrick paused. "You know those FC urinals, right?" I nodded. "No partitions." Patrick took another sip from his cup and continued. "So anyway, this guy sees me checking him out. To my surprise, he turns to me, giving me full view of him in all his glory and smiles. I smile back. And," Patrick took a deep breath, "the rest is for me alone to know." He ended by dabbing the sides of his napkin to his mouth. I knew pressing Patrick for more details would shut him up just like that so I let it pass. I could wheedle out all the details later. "So what's his name?" "Carlo." I raised an eyebrow and gave Patrick my you've-got-to-be-kidding look. He laughed and nodded in agreement. "Yes it's another Carlo. It's always Carlo, or Paolo, or Mike, or Jay--" "So what name...

Jayanthi Sriram, Asst.Director) GOVERNMENT OF INDIA INSTITUTE SECRETARIAT TRAINING & MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT OF PERSONNEL & TRAINING ADMINISTRATIVE BLOCK, JNU CAMPUS (OLD) OLOF PALMS MARG, NEW DELHI-110067 TEL. 26105592 TELEFAX: 26104183 Revised - 2005 FORWARD In responsive administration it is obvious that the response has to be meaningful. Yet, it may not be effective unless the response time is optimised. This twin objective can be achieved through streamlining of the decision making process itself. In the Central Secretariat, as in other spheres of Government, contribution by all rungs of employees particularly by those at the cutting edge level, namely the Section Officers and Assistants, generally helps arriving at the right decision. Besides collection of information, such contributions are rendered through Noting & Drafting. Effective noting & drafting at every level, therefore, is a matter of prime concern. 2. To address this concern, we in ISTM have been according utmost importance to the inclusion of 'noting and drafting' as a subject in all our foundational and refresher Courses. Besides, focussed workshops on effective noting & drafting are also organised in large numbers. To help participants team effectively, the need for practical exercises cannot be overemphasised.

...related text of your own choosing represent history and memory in unique and evocative ways. The interplay of history and memory combine to provide greater insight into events. Through the manipulation of textual forms and features, Mark Bakerʼs hybrid text “The Fiftieth Gate” expands and humanizes oneʼs understanding of the Holocaust in unique and evocative ways. A unique feature of the text is clever fusion between personal accounts and documented history using mediums such as, interviews, official documents, poetry and song. This enhances the stories of the authorʼs parents, Yossl and Genia, whilst evocatively capturing the atrocities of the Holocaust. The relationship between history and memory is further explored in Kevin Ruddʼs “Sorry apology to Stolen Generations”. Bakerʼs “The Fiftieth Gate” suggests that memory humanises historical events, juxtaposed by the emotionless discourse of history in unique and evocative ways. Baker provides insight into the historical events associated with the Holocaust,emphasising number of deaths that occurred during the genocide. In Gate 26, Baker explores the deaths Geniaʼs parents witnessed in the lines, “Among 1380 people, one family survived by chance. They were Leo Krochmal and his wife Rosa who witnessed the shooting,” The impersonal tone and simple language in the lines underscores the straightforward and detached nature of history. In contrast, the recount of Genia hiding from Germans in Gate 6 is markedly more confrontative...

...Like It’s Our Last Day Patty Jo Djennelbaroud English 121 Instructor Asatryan March 25, 2013 Like It’s Our Last Day All too often we live our lives like we will be here forever. We take advantage of the time we are given to spend with our loved ones, and neglect opportunities to show how much we treasure them. Even when someone is old or sick, it’s too easy for us to fool ourselves into thinking that they ‘know’ just how important they are to us and how they impact our lives. I was lucky enough to be taught the value of living each day like it was my last day, and to never take our loved ones for granted, thanks to my niece Hillarie. When I was 14, my sister gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Hillarie Dawn. She had milky-smooth copper skin, was completely bald, and the longest baby I had ever seen. Even her toes and fingers seem to stretch for miles, and she could keep herself entertained for ages just by watching her tiny fragile fingers furling out and in, again and again, like the tail of a peacock opening and closing. She wasn’t the first baby in this generation of my family; she was number five thus far. You could say we were quite well versed in newborn-ology, but she surprised us all with her quiet and easy nature. She rarely cried or fussed, was always happy, and even let us catch sleep for hours at a time. Before the age of 2 she was diagnosed with a heart disorder, a rare form of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy with RCM. It held a bleak outcome for her future;...

...Reflection on the Film “Tuesdays with Morrie” The first time I watched Tuesdays with Morrie back then last semester, my usual nonchalant and stone-hearted self broke down in tears. I couldn’t explain why, but I just involuntarily cried. Perhaps it was just pent-up emotion. But on a deeper level, I knew the reason: I could relate to so many things in the film. When I saw it for the third time in our Philosophy class, I tried to view it on a slightly more analytical and less affected manner (even though I couldn’t stop sudden hidden bursts of emotion) since I knew there were topics discussed by Morrie to Mitch which were covered by our discussions in Philosophy of the Human Person I. The last lessons taught by Morrie dealt with the fundamental yet often misunderstood or even feared things in life. One interesting thing in his discussions with Mitch was the line he repeatedly said: “If you know how to die, you’ll know how to live.” At first, it seemed to me as though it were contradictory to the phenomenological way of describing things – for how can one ever know how to die if he hasn’t experienced it yet? But after some reflection, I thought that perhaps Morrie, by saying “know how to die” meant that if we know that all our possibilities will end in the great even that death is (“know[ing] how to die”), we will strive to do our best daily – as if it were our last, as if we could hear that “bird on our shoulder.” I also liked Morrie’s emphasis on the...

I opened it and began flipping through the cards. I quickly shut it, shocked to realize that I recognized the names written on each one. And then without being told, I knew exactly where I was. This seemingly lifeless room with its small files was a crude catalog system for my life. Here were written the actions of my every moment, big and small, in a detail my memory couldn't match. A sense of wonder and curiosity, coupled with horror, stirred within me as I began randomly opening files and exploring their content. Some brought joy and sweet memories; others a sense of shame and regret so intense that I would look over my shoulder to see if anyone was watching. A file named "Friends" was next to one marked "Friends I Have Betrayed." The titles ranged from the mundane to the outright weird. "Books I Have Read," "Lies I Have Told," "Comfort I Have Given," "Jokes I Have Laughed At." Some were almost hilarious in their exactness: "Things I've Yelled at My Brothers." Others I couldn't laugh at: "Things I Have Done in My Anger," "Things I Have Muttered Under My Breath at My Parents." I never ceased to be surprised by the contents. Often there were many more cards than I expected. Sometimes fewer than I hoped. I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the life I had lived. Could it be possible that I had the time in my 20 years to...
