An issue of Money magazine, scanned by a 23 year-old soft-cheeked (and probably Mormon) business major.
The April 2005 Better Homes & Gardens and a nicely bound hardback of the Art of War. The owner of both texts ignored Sun Tzu and spent her time exercycling and discovering whatever bits of wisdom Better Homes & Gardens had to impart.
It was a slow Sunday afternoon, and everyone else was watching television. Ahh Boiseans, you dissapoint.

It has recently come to our attention that new management principles have been introduced by some members of the executive team. The recent lecture in the North Auditorium by Dr. Stephen Covey, as well as last year's holiday gift, Control Your Destiny or Someone Else Will, should serve as philosophical models for managing, decision-making, prioritizing goals and guiding professional development within your teams.
This memo serves as a friendly reminder that the broad and indiscrete application of Kimora Lee Simmons' Beat a Bitch's Ass paradigm has not been approved by Corporate for use in field offices, or among junior staff.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Tips from the Safety Conscious Rock StarWhen it comes to kitchen cleanliness, we can all learn a little something from one of the bravest heroes of the Trojan War, our good friend Achilles. Achilles was supposed to be immortal, because his mother dipped him in the river Styx. Well, domo arigato, Thetis (NOT)! She held him by the heel and didn't re-dip him to make sure every little bit of him was immortal. So, what happens? He gets shot in the heel and dies, apparently!
You can find yourself in this same situation when you are struck down by salmonella from not properly washing ALL of the platter that was splattered by your picatta-making frenzy! Take your time. Wash ALL of the platter! Dip that, your utensils, and anything that could have been covered in raw chicken droplets, in hot soapy water for AT LEAST 20 seconds! Wash your hands with soap vigorously for AT LEAST 20 seconds under very warm water. Clean any surfaces or objects that also may have been affected. T.TreClean is a fine product for such an endeavor.
Achilles might still be alive today (or at least long enough to rip Paris a new one), had Thetis learned to double-dip for complete coverage. Learn from her mistakes!
