Half of U.S. employees have been bullied at work. Here’s how to stop bad behavior before it costs your company big.

Times have been tough for everyone in the hype business the last couple of years ... except at Hill & Knowlton, the WPP (WPPGY)-owned PR agency. There, everybody else's bad news is good for business.

Talking with your parents about their estate is important to protect your family’s finances, but the conversation can be difficult at best. Here's what you need to ask and how to do it.

There are still 6-packs of young tomato plants on sale at Home Depot, Lowe's, and K-Mart garden centers for about $2+ each, and I just transplanted 12 more. Here's how to make them multiply:

Utilizing LA County's generous prison labor release program, dig holes.

LA Basin's clay soil needs Java (grounds, that is). These were from the Borders Rewards Perks program in El Segundo: think of the geography of the caffeine, from multi-region blends to Seattle's Best to my soil to my tomatoes...(My neighbors don't know what's gotten into them, but they're studying their ceilings at night, never suspecting the tomatoes from me).

Mix it up with a little potting soil at the base of the seedling. I add "Red Wiggler" worms from Armstrong's, too.

Mulch, water, stake, enjoy.

Mediterranean Mer
1 large carton nonfat plain yogurt
1 medium carton peach and mango salsa
Vegetables from the garden -tomatoes, eggplant, onions, squash, whatever you have

I use a large, nonstick wok. I was going to add salad shrimp, but instead added a package of frozen corn, which was good. I also added, because I had it:
A little Sriracha (Japanese) hot sauce
Lemon juice (from the tree)
Grated ginger

The flavors were so interesting, I wanted to keep eating and eating it (until the dark chocolate course). Today, I'm adding WW egg noodles, more tomatoes, and maybe mushrooms because I have them.

No measurements.

The Downside of Opposites Attracting: for students of marriageable age
I have a lot of single students of marriageable age, and the Veggie Tales Late Night slide shows are illustrating some of my beliefs. "Dr. Truce" advises the Exotic Triplets, the girls who "like everyone and think everyone's innocent," that if guys in "the Bachelor Herd won't start a conversation, they are not worth waiting for."

Friendly girls are always attracted to quiet types, but here's the downside: if shy men always wait to see who initiates conversation, they demonstrate what kind of husbands they'd be, passive and irresponsible about the relationship, and expecting the woman to take full responsibility for the load of the family success while the husband is independent and preoccupied (and sometimes privately addicted to porn, and that's why they won't bring their sexuality to the light, and be responsible for it).

These kinds of habits and patterns lead to marriage failure; so to my students, avoid these scenarios and characters while you can. Women carry enough responsibility in our society by working and loving their families, our instinct, and should not be expected to be super-heroes and geniuses if males are passive and introverted.

I want to goad the male students in learning to act on their desires and attractions; and if they're smitten for certain ladies, work hard to win them and provide for them, your instinct. College degrees = less debt.

Don't die wifeless and alone as Michael Jackson did.

Some people always ask me where we're traveling this summer, and I'm not sure yet. I have frequent flier points to redeem, so there are endless possibilities if award seats aren't all taken: last summer there were a lot of choices even at the last minute, and it was all an adventure to imagine going around the world alternate ways. Exploring possibilities is fun itself, a set-up.

We all have a lot of delayed projects and I have to catch up first; and right now, my home is the best place in the world because we're relaxed and comfortable. Sometimes, traveling is neither.

If you get bored, go to a bookstore or library for intellectual stimulation, or go explore a natural area nearby, e.g., George F. Canyon (http://www.pvplc.org/land/georgefcanyon/) has some shade, and avoid poison oak by staying on the trail.

It's Not About Performance; It's About Love and Humor.
All seasons are times of laughter, and summer when school's out is especially a time of play. We are "created to create," and here are two I like: "Uncle Jay Explains 'Blogs,'"http://unclejayexplains.com/tag/blogs/; and if you like musicals, which my family loves and has performed in,* http://www.hulu.com/watch/28343/dr-horribles-sing-along-blog. The fate of Dr. Horrible's love life is what the Bachelor Herd and Dr. Truce are headed for, sad to say:http://picasaweb.google.com/Dr.MelanieRenfrew/VeggieTalesLateNightTheCast#

He who competeth not winneth not, as romantic love triangles in the movies show. Romantic polygons are called "dating," you guy students who are "waiting" for "it" to "happen."

This is for my students:

Failure ≠ "Maybe it was for the best,"
or "Maybe 'it' wasn't meant to be," (i.e. trying college out to see if C's can be obtained by going).
"Failure" means "get off your rear and try harder."

Better grades = higher salary
Degrees = decreased debt.

I am creating these slide shows for fun, and to urge students to "get a life," and be creative yourselves instead of living your lives in front of TV's and computer screens watching what others create. If your teachers can be creative and silly with artistic liberty, maybe you can, too. These characters are created in love with timeless themes, and some echo true events (e.g., "Detective Chayote").

They are treating Michael Jackson's doctor as innocent until proven guilty, and that's what our justice system requires. Detective Chayote has it wrong, and so does the character who spouted lies to him.
