TOPIC: TALENT MANAGEMENT -- BEST ARTICLE MUST READ...
http://groups.google.com/group/misc.consumers.frugal-living/browse_thread/thread/0917d889b7691212?hl=en

So, how does an organization effectively manage talent?

Recognise talent: Notice what do employees do in their free time and
find out their interests. Try to discover their strengths and
interests. Also, encourage them to discover their own latent talents.
For instance, if an employee in the operations department convincingly
explains why he thinks he's right even when he's wrong, consider
moving him to sales!

Attracting Talent: Good companies create a strong brand identity with
their customers and then deliver on that promise. Great employment
brands do the same, with quantifiable and qualitative results. As a
result, the right people choose to join the organisation.

Selecting Talent: Management should implement proven talent selection
systems and tools to create profiles of the right people based on the
competencies of high performers. It's not simply a matter of finding
the "best and the brightest," it's about creating the right fit - both
for today and tomorrow.

Retaining Talent: In the current climate of change, it's critical to
hold onto the key people. These are the people who will lead the
organisation to future success, and you can't afford to lose them.

The cost of replacing a valued employee is enormous. Organizations
need to promote diversity and design strategies to retain people,
reward high performance and provide opportunities for development.

Managing Succession: Effective organisations anticipate the leadership
and talent requirement to succeed in the future. Leaders understand
that it's critical to strengthen their talent pool through succession
planning, professional development, job rotation and workforce
planning. They need to identify potential talent and groom it.

Change Organisation Culture: Ask yourself, "Why would a talented
person choose to work here?" If the organisation wishes to
substantially strengthen its talent pool, it should be prepared to
change things as fundamental as the business strategy, the
organisation structure, the culture and even the calibre of leaders in
the organisation.

A mattress can be shampooed like a couch. Normally you just vacuum it
to suck out the dust. A mattress cover helps keep it clean.

An ongoing vacuuming is best. The problem with any liquid cleaning is
that you do not want to penetrate the surface. Once wet, the inside
will likely mildew / never dry.

http://www.sonic.com/products/Consumer/SimpleBackup/quicklook.aspx

I was at the website above a few days ago, and found a program I used
years ago to make system recovery CD's - Simple Backup. I had used version
3, and later 4.

The link above shows where they are selling version 5 as a software
download. I paid for it, then downloaded it.

After downloading, I was shocked to find out that the new version had
removed the ability to make a bootable recovery disk! Now it pretty much
just lets you burn a file of folders to a CD or DVD. Ok, so they did add
DVD burning, but they took away the main reason why I shelled out $30 for
this program. Now it isn't any more functional than the basic Nero software
that is given away with most DVD burners. Nowhere on the website does it
give a warning, or mention that they have removed important features that
were present in versions 3 and 4 of the software.

To top it all off, when I contacted their customer service, they claimed
that they hadn't sold the software in more than a year, that it was an "end
of life" product, and that they could not offer any support for it. They
then had the gall to be "helpful" by providing me a link that was supposed
to give me a manual for the software. Instead, it led to a manual for a
completely different product.

So, what do you think - is this company engaging in fraud? Why would they
claim not to have sold this in well over a year, when I sent them the order
info (showing proof that I had just bought it directly from their website),
and when I just sent them a link to the page on their site where they are
STILL selling the software??!!

I've run into some strange things before, but this one's a doozy.

I didn't see where it said what version.

They say you can restore your Windows OS. To me, that implies that the
backup is bootable. If you need a third drive, that's a big thing not
to tell you.

Last year I bought a new Iomega PCI SCSI card from a computer store. It
wouldn't work. Eventually I learned that it would not work in any
computer made since 1996. Iomega would not answer my inquiries. This
led me to believe they were complicit. Why discard junk when you can
sell it to an unscrupulous vendor?

My problem with most of the cheap check places is they charge
a small amount for the first order and then go up to about what
the bank charges. I found this place http://www.promisechecks.com/
which claims they don't do that. They are a "Christian" check
printing company and they like to talk about the checks with Bible
verses on them, but they also have plain checks with no religious
message. The price seems good for basic no-frills checks and they
have a preview sort of function when you order to see what the checks
will look like with your info printed on them.

I've ordered both personal and business checks from them, but have
not needed to reorder yet.

Yes. I realized where you had come up with your DVD classifications
right after sending my post, which I then attempted to cancel.

You're looking in the wrong place. With Roxio you have to
use the correct tool which allows you to do the menus.

With Roxio Creator 8, you use Create DVD or Quick DVD.

I wasnt talking about DVDFlick, you need to use Roxio if you want to fiddle with menus etc.

DVDFlick is intended for no menus.

Depends on the game. I have a legal horse racing account and never
have trouble getting paid.
I also have an offshore account for sports and,again, when I win they
pay. On the other hand the same book has an online casino for card games
which I never go near. I never play a card game where the house can know
what you are holding.
By the way, last year congress passed legislation banning
credit/debit cards for paying offshore books. At the request of the
banking industry they exempted personal checks so this firm now takes
electronic checks and, at times, still takes cards. I never use a credit
card but have a debit card I use just for this purpose. It usually has a
few dollars and I do a transfer when depositing.

I travel light enough that I usually have only carry on luggage. This
way I don't have to wait for any checked in luggage from the carousel.
I get through immigration quickly and way ahead of the crowd. My
travels are mainly across countries. I carry minimum clothing as
anything I need can be bought at the local stores including new (ie
clean) underwear and socks as needed and locally printed T-shirts as
souvenirs. My dirty laundry is washed when I bathe. Travelling
lightly allows me lots of flexibility to buy knickknacks without
becoming overloaded. Its very rare that I have to buy a cheap gym bag
to hold the extra stuff. A cloth gym bag has strong comfortable
carrying handles and can be quickly unzipped for a customs or security
check. Even then I can still easily carry both my original and the
gym bags without the need for a cart. Remember me saying I bring my
own pillow? Putiing that under the armpit of the arm that carries the
heavier bag provides pretty good comfort to that arm too. You can
even fold the pillow to make the arm stretch further out to
accommodate a bulky bag.

My travel garb enables me to clear customs and security checks easily.
T- shirt, windbreaker, short pants weather permitting, socks and
strapped sandals. All my keys, loose change and pocket stuff is in a
plastic bag in my left pocket. I pull this out , no need to dig
around the pocket, to place on the tray for the X-ray scanner. From
my right pocket is my wallet. This arrangement allows me to make a
habit of a quick pat on both my hip pockets whenever I sit down or
rise up. I know instantly if my wallet or keys are still there. If
I lose anything else I don't care. The only other metal is my belt
buckle and removing my belt to put on the scanner tray is a well
rehearsed practice. Strap sandals are great for taking off when
seated for that long flight.

bestfreebies is really easy to block. Others take more complex rules. But there
are just more and more.
