The Power of Saying "I Don't Know" - VerticalResponse Column by Janine Popick, Inc.com "Girl Power Female CEO's" February 11, 2010 Imagine six business colleagues in a meeting and the leader of the meeting says: "Did everyone get the TPS report?" Everyone in the room nods. If you have no clue what a TPS report is and you’re like me, you raise your hand and say, "At the risk of sounding like an idiot, I don’t know what a TPS report is, can you elaborate?" The leader then elaborates and you see a sign of quiet calm come over all of the people that now know what a TPS report is, because you asked. In today's ultra competitive work environment, many people feel the need to be "super workers" and have an answer to every question. I once worked with a guy who was a stereotypical Sales Shark! In another incident, I was recently on a conference call with someone who was trying to get our business. Why do people have to pretend to know everything? The Bottom Line: The Truth Doesn’t Hurt

Tutorials for Recycling Books We rode bikes around our neighborhood this weekend and stopped at all the garage sales we found along the way. I love doing this because it's like exercise and shopping in one! Plus, my bike basket is perfect for holding whatever treasures I find. On this particular trip I was noticing a lot of old books for sale. My DIY craving kicked in and I knew I had to do some research on the projects I could use old books for. mail organizer tutorial To kick off Spice up your Kitchen, I figured I should start things off with a tutorial to help you get organized. You know all that mail that piles up on your kitchen counters? Come on, fess up. Well mine was finally driving me crazy enough to do something about it. Inspired by this letter bin, I came up with a fun fabric version. Now you can coordinate it with your kitchen. Here's what you'll need: I used Elmer's spray glue and a piece of fabric cut about 4" bigger on all sides. Lay the fabric squarely on top and smooth and wrap around sides. Make the mail slots: For both mail slots: Use your pattern piece and cut out two pieces of exterior and two pieces of lining, putting the pattern piece on the fold as indicated on the template. Sew the exterior and lining piece RIGHT sides together using a 1/2" seam allowance at the top of what will be the mail slot. Repeat for other mail slot pieces. Align the twill tape about an inch below the top of each mail slot.

t-shirt latch hook rug tutorial I really love flokati rugs. I have two that are safely tucked away in my parents basement awaiting our reunion. When I learned that I would be having a child and building a nursery for him, I wanted a flokati. A gray one. I’m going to show you how it’s done, but let me warn you- while this rug was super inexpensive to make with the resource of money- it was very costly in the resource of time. And now, this is how to make your very own latch hook rug. Supplies: Latch hook canvas latch hook tool old t-shirts scissors or rotary cutting tool/mat seam binding masking tape dye (optional) All of these things should be available at your local craft store, with the exception of the old t-shirts. On to the making! Once you’ve gathered all of your shirts, use a rotary cutting tool and mat (you can certainly use scissors but the results are less precise) to cut the shirts into 1 inch strips. Once you have all of the strips cut, it’s time to dye them if you’d like. Now you’re ready to hook! xo elle

I am an atheist. I don't believe in God by Matt Slick An atheist is defined primarily in two senses: Someone who says he believes there is no God, and someone who simply lacks belief in God. An atheist cannot rationally say he knows there is no God, because he would have to know all things in order to know if there is or isn't a God. An agnostic says he doesn't know if there is or isn't a God. If there is no God as you say, then in the end I lose nothing. Why don't you believe in God? The Bible doesn't attempt to prove that God exists.
