Workplace Gender Policy Biblio

Link: Workplace Gender Policies in the Press

This is a shameless pluck off of Laura, of Laura 5 fame, website. It’s a great bunch of articles on how employers are learning to adapt to transgendered folk. Great reading and very helpful.

CounterSpy

Link: CounterSpy.

I hate malaware, spyware, dirty-underwear. For the first two I found an excellent program that is cheap and works. CounterSpy rocks, I just loaded it, and found oodles of spyware I couldn’t find before with my Norton Anti-Spy and Yahoo Anti-Spy toolbar. The Yahoo Anti-Spy toolbar is better, in my opinion, than Norton’s. So if you need a free solution, use Yahoo’s. But Counterspy, at $20, really is significantly better. My PC was crawling…now it’s happy :)

Oh the last one, I found that a good douse of bleach works great – or a scrub board near a local stream ;-)

Middle Eastern Pita Pizza

pita pizza   This recipe my spouse found and though she fretted about the fat I said “who CARES this tastes great!” oh and it’s easy to make too :)

Ingredients:
4 Pita breads (6 inches in diameter)
1/2 cup roasted garlic-flavored or regular humus (depends on who your kissing afterwards I’d reckon)
1 Cup crumbled feta cheese (4 ounces)
1 Small Onion, sliced
2 Cups shredded spinach
1 Large Tomato, seeded & chopped (1 cup)
1/4 cup sliced ripe or Kalamata OlivesOlive Oil

  1. Heat over to 400 F. Place pita breads in ungreased jelly roll pan, 15 1/2×10 1/2×1 inch
  2. Drizel some olive oil onto the pita’s surface
  3. Spread hummus on each pita bread. Sprinkle with cheese.
  4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top each pizza with onions, spinach, tomoto and olives

Get a nice glass of wine, and enjoy!

Man of God

Sometimes I’m a liar

Sometimes I’m a fake

Sometimes I’m a hypocrite that everybody hates

Sometimes I’m a poet

Sometimes I’m a preacher

Sometimes I watch life go by sitting on the bleacher

But, I’ve never been left alone in any problem that I’ve known even though I’m to blame, there were times when things were dark and I’ve been known to miss the mark but someone fixed my aim

Sometimes I’m a man of God, sometimes I’m all right, sometimes i lay down close my eyes and pray to God

Sometimes I don’t feel good, it’s hard to start the day, it’s hard to climb the obstacles that sometimes come my way; if I make it, I’m a good man, am I bad man if I fail? i know I’m never good enough, so I let grace prevail

Oh I’ve never been left alone in any problem that I’ve known even though I’m to blame there were times when things were dark and I’ve been known to miss the mark but someone fixed my aim

Sometimes I’m a man of God, sometimes I’m all right, sometimes I lay down, close my eyes and pray to God I’m ready for the night.
