Resume Do's and Don'ts
By Allen On December 26, 2012
by Katharine Hansen, Ph.D.
Here are the keys to successfully preparing and writing a strong and focused job-search resume. Following these simple rules and guidelines (key do's and don'ts) should help job-seekers achieve success in this important phase of job-hunting.
Do read Quint detailed Frequently Asked Questions About Resumes: The Complete Job-Search Resume FAQ if you have questions about resume writing and preparation.
And do review some of the many no-cost professional resume samples Quint has published: Sample Job-Seeker Resumes for Job-Seekers in Various Professions. It never hurts to see what a strong resume looks like before tackling your own.
Do consider a bulleted style to make your resume as reader-friendly as possible.
Don't get overwrought about the old "one-page resume rule." It's good to keep your resume to one page, if possible, but if you have a lot of experience, two pages may be more appropriate. If your resume spills beyond one page, but you have less than a half a page of material for the second page, it may be best to condense to one page.
But preferably don't go beyond two pages with your resume — even if you are an executive job-seeker; resumes are trending shorter these days. (Academics, doctors, researchers, and others who use CVs rather than resumes do not have to pay attention to the page-length rule.)
Do consider a resume design that doesn't look like everyone else's. Many job-seekers use Microsoft Word resume templates. There's nothing wrong with them, per se, but your resume won't look distinctive if you use one; it will look like the resume of everyone else who used a Word template. These templates can also be a bit inflexible to work with.
Don't use justified text blocks; they put odd little spaces between words. Instead, make your type flush left.
Don't ever lie on your resume.
Do include ways to contact you — Website address/URL (if available), city and state only (no street address), a single phone number (no second/third number, no fax number), and a single email address. While job-seekers were once advised to include as much contact information as possible, the emerging trend is for minimal contact information, in part because of identity theft.
Do give your resume as sharp a focus as possible. Given that employers screen resumes for as few as 6 seconds, you need a way to show the employer at a glance what you want to do and what you're good at.
Do consider a section such as "Summary of Qualifications," or "Profile," which can also help sharpen your focus. Here's a resume with an example of such a section.
Don't use personal pronouns (I, my, me) in a resume.
Do list your job information in order of importance to the reader. In listing your jobs, what's generally most important is your title/position. So list in this preferred order: Title/position, name of employer, city/state of employer, dates of employment.
Don't leave out the locations of your past jobs (city and state). This information is expected, but many job-seekers unwittingly omit it.
Do list your jobs in reverse chronological order.
Don't mix noun and verb phrases when describing your jobs. Preferably, use concrete action verbs consistently.
Do avoid the verb, "Work" because it's a weak verb. Everyone works. Be more specific. "Collaborate(d)" is often a good substitute.
Do think in terms of accomplishments when preparing your resume. Accomplishments are so much more meaningful to prospective employers than run-of-the-mill litanies of job responsibilities.
Don't use expressions like "Duties included," "Responsibilities included," or "Responsible for." That's job-description language, not accomplishments-oriented resume language that sells.
Do emphasize transferable skills, especially if you don't have much experience or seek to change careers.
Do quantify whenever possible. Use numbers to tell employers how many people you supervised, by what percentage you increased sales, how much money you saved, how many products you represented, etc.
Don't emphasize older experience on your resume. Include your jobs that are more than 15 years old, but list them in bare-bones fashion (title, employer, location) with or without dates of employment. You may want to title this section Previous Professional Experience.
Don't emphasize skills and job activities you don't want to do in the future, even if they represent great strengths for you. In fact, you may not even want to mention these activities. Why describe how great your clerical skills are if you don't want to do clerical work in the future?
Do remember that education also follows the principle about presenting information in the order of importance to the reader; thus the preferred order for listing your education is: Name of degree (spelled out: Bachelor of ____________) in name of major, name of university, city/state of university, graduation year (unless you graduated more than about 15 years ago), followed by peripheral information, such as minor and GPA. If you haven't graduated yet, list your grad year anyway. Simply by virtue of the fact that the date's in the future, the employer will know you don't have the degree yet. If you're uncomfortable listing your future grad date, you can say, for example, "expected May 2014."
Don't list high school (unless you're still a teenager)!
Don't include on your resume your height, weight, age, date of birth, place of birth, marital status, sex, ethnicity/race, health, social security number (except on an international resume), reasons for leaving previous job(s), names of former supervisors, specific street addresses or phone numbers of former employers, picture of yourself, salary information, the title "Resume," or any information that could be perceived as controversial, such as religion, church affiliations, or political affiliations.
Don't include hobbies or other irrelevant information on a resume. In most cases, they are seen as superfluous and trivial. An argument can be made that hobbies are interview conversation starters or that they make you seem well-rounded, but they are generally seen as fluff or filler.
Do, however, list sports if you're a college student or new grad. Many employers specifically seek out athletes because of their drive and competitiveness, as well as teamwork and leadership skills. Collegiate athletes should even consider listing their sports background in the Experience section.
Don't list references right on your resume. References belong in a later stage of the job search. Keep references on a separate sheet and provide them only when they are specifically requested.
Do realize that the phrase "References available upon request" is highly optional because it is a given that you will provide references upon request. If you couldn't, you would have no business looking for a job. The line can serve the purpose of signaling: "This is the end of my resume," but if you are trying to conserve space, leave it off.
Do proofread carefully. Misspellings and typos are deadly on a resume.

SONIC YOUTH etc. : SENSATIONAL FIX
Museion Bozen/Bolzano
October 11th 2008 – January 4th 2009
EXHIBITION OPENING: October 10th 2008, 7 pm
SONIC YOUTH in CONCERT: October 11th, 8.30 pm
Bozen / Bolzano, STAHLBAU PICHLER:
Edisonstrasse 15 via Edison
In collaboration with transart08
The SONIC YOUTH etc. : SENSATIONAL FIX exhibition will be held at Museion, Bolzano from October 11th 2008 to January 4th 2009. The show, which combines art and music, has been curated by Roland Groenenboom in close collaboration with the band Sonic Youth.
SONIC YOUTH etc. : SENSATIONAL FIX investigates the collaborations between the historic band, which was formed in 1981, and artists, writers, filmmakers, designers, and other musicians. The multimedia works of Sonic Youth and those oh the artists exhibited in the show reveal a possible alternative history of contemporary culture, with a critical discussion of the division between "high" and "popular" art, with topics such as youth rebellion, hunger, fashion and sex. The various sections revolve around a central area, which illustrates the band's long history, with records, posters, T-shirts, instruments and photographs.
The first section of the exhibition explores the links between music and art in early-1980s New York. In those days, punk and atonal noise-rock inspired artists like Robert Longo, Richard Prince, Lee Ranaldo, and Kim Gordon to create music. Right from the outset, Sonic Youth successfully combined the rebellious approach of punk with experimental music and conceptual art. This section introduces the works of the following, amongst others: Vito Acconci, Dan Graham, Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, John Miller, Christian Marclay, Tony Oursler, Richard Kern, Patti Smith, Jutta Koether and Rita Ackermann.
The exhibition also investigates their tour experiences: this section includes works that present the city suburbs, the desire to travel and the great open landscapes of the West, while its protagonists – beatniks, hitch-hikers and cowboys – tell their stories. The section also looks at the music and lyrics produced by members of the band. Artists on show include: William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, D.A. Levy, Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo, John Cage, Glenn Branca.
In the early 1980s, Sonic Youth started working on the West Coast, a physical and mental environment that was an important starting point for the artistic development of many artists in the late sixties. This part of the exhibition contrasts the tinsel glamour of Hollywood with the aggressiveness symbolised by the homicidal sect of the Manson family and Californian hardcore-punk. The period is captioned in the works of Mike Kelley, Raymond Pettibon, Cameron Jamie and Kim Kordon.
The fourth section of the exhibition shows works by artists working outside the US art scene, such as Tacita Dean, Isa Genzken and Michael Morley.
The artist Dan Graham has specially designed a pavilion for the exhibition, in which visitors will be able to hear the band's sound archives and other material, including recordings by the artist himself. The Museion library will be used for more in-depth studies and for listening to audio material by the band and independent record labels. Visitors can also watch films, video clips, and selected recordings of concerts and performances by Sonic Youth.
SONIC YOUTH etc. : SENSATIONAL FIX describes the band's 30 years of transversal projects, retracing the stages of their formidable artistic career which has been inspired by the ideal of a world outside the mainstream of mass industrial culture. Produced by Museion, Bolzano in collaboration with LiFE, St Nazaire, the exhibition will be travelling to the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, and the Konsthall Malmö and Centro Huarte de Arte Contemporáneo Navarra.
The catalogue, distributed by Verlag der Buchandlung Walther König and published by Museion and LiFE, will be available in German, Italian, French and English. Two 7-inch vinyl records are included in the publication. Each side contains a specially sound pice created by one of the member of the band.

At least three people died and several were wounded in a shooting at an elementary school in Northern California, on Tuesday, Nov. 14.
LA Times reported the gunman was among the dead.
"At this point, the suspected shooter is deceased by law enforcement bullets," Tehama County Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston told LA Times. "I know of at least three deaths."
According to Fox News, the shootings happened close to Rancho Tehama Elementary school, which is about 120 miles north of Sacramento, while some parents were dropping their kids off.
ABC News informed that there were injuries, but no deaths in the school.
"Enloe Hospital has received four patients: three students and one adult, all in unknown conditions, a hospital official said," ABC informed. "Mercy Dignity Health is treating 3 patients."

Assessment Appeal
Understanding the Assessment Appeal
Open Book Session
Once your assessed value is determined, you will be sent a "Notice of Assessment" containing the assessed value, and a date and time of the "Open Book" session. At Open Book, you will have the opportunity to discuss your assessment, present any information you feel is relevant, learn what records are maintained on your property, and what factors were considered to determine the new assessed value. If based on this discussion the Assessor believes an adjustment to the assessed value is warranted, a notice will be sent to you reflecting the new assessed value.
The Board of Review
If after attending the Open Book session you decide to appeal the assessed value, you will have an opportunity to appear before the "Board of Review". The Board of Review is a panel that includes local officials and/or citizens appointed by the governing body. It is the Board's duty to hear evidence presented by the property owner and the assessor. It is important to note that the Board's function is not one of valuation, but of deciding the validity of the facts presented, under oath, before it. All deliberations must be done in open session and the Board of Review is required to decide each objection by a roll call vote. If, based on testimony the Board decides to change the assessed value, a notice of change will be sent to the property owner.

Lyme disease (LD), also called Borreliosis or Lyme borreliosis, is a zoonosis, i.e., a bacterial infection transmitted by ticks. It was first recognized in 1975 in Old Lyme, Connecticut, USA, however, reports of it can be found in medical literature in Europe as early as 1883.
Statistics confirm that LD has become the most common arthropod-borne (vector-borne) illness in the U.S. (~30,000 reported cases each year) and Europe (~65-80,000 cases reported each year). Its occurrence has been documented on all continents except Antarctica.
LD is caused by the bacterium of genus Borrelia that is harbored in ticks. In 1981 Willy Burgdorfer established that a particular species Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, a type of bacterium called a spirochete (pronounced spy-ro-keet) is responsible for LD. Borrelia can be found frequently in small and large mammals, birds and reptiles on which many ticks feed and mate making them prone to become infected with the bacterial spirochete. An infected tick may then transmit these bacteria to another host such as humans and/or animals by biting them. Some studies have shown that in order to transmit the spirochete an infected tick (also known as the black-legged tick) needs to be attached to the host for 36-48 hours, however, other studies show that attachment of 24-48 hours can be already sufficient. The ticks that spread LD can sometimes co-transmit other tick-borne pathogens such as: Ehrlychia sp., Babesia sp., Bartonella sp. and others.
Natural approach
In a continuous search for effective therapy for LD patients and animals, the use of natural, non-toxic treatment still remains an unexplored area. The Cellular Health approach and research strategies are based on simultaneously targeting the genesis of LD (i.e., by eliminating all diverse forms of Borrelia sp.) as well as the symptoms affiliated with it (i.e., inflammation and abnormal levels of body biomarkers, electrolytes, vitamins, microelements, hormones, etc.) through the application of a specific synergistic team of micronutrients (phytobiologicals such as vitamins, nutrients, and phytochemicals). It opens up new possibilities for safe and effective control of LD and bringing hope for millions of LD patients.

Audio CD (7 Nov 2011)
Number of Discs: 1
Format: CD
Label: Alcopop
Johnny Foreigner return with their third album proper, Johhny Foreigner vs. Everything , released through Alcopop! on November 7th. Speaking about their new album, guitarist and singer Alexei says: "We are bursting with excitement to be able to start talking about our wonderful record. It was made this spring and summer in our hometown by our old friend Dominique James, and will be released november 7th on Alcopop. it's going to be called Johnny Foreigner vs Everything. "We started writing it two years ago, and staggered recording and mixing over 5 months. the title came first. This is the first full length record we've made without a grammy - nominated producer, without contracts and new york and professionals. the biggest challenge we've faced as a band, and the worst thing about leaving the world of corporate-funded labels, was knowing that sooner or later we'd come to this point; having to make a way better record for a way worse budget... and i'm beyond proud to say that i think thats exactly what us and dom have achieved. we've made the record that sounds like we do in our heads." A mix of their usual, frantic indie-rock, influenced by the likes of Pavement, Meneguar and Cap'n Jazz, and elsewhere the more reserved, hushed tones of Sparklehorse and Wilco, the album finds the band on arguably their finest form yet. Dynamically their most varied record, it's difficult to pick highlights on an album that is full of them. From the familiar noise-pop of With Who , Electricity vs The Dead and Hulk Hoegaarden, Gin Kinsella, David Duvodkany etc. to the more controlled melodies that drive first single (Don't) show us your fangs , the wonderful, horn driven Jess, you got yr song, now leave and the anthemic second half of New Street, you can take it , the record doesn't ever let up on the quality. 200x brings to mind the likes of Minus The Bear and Doesn't Believe In Angels and Johnny Foreigner vs You are just, well, beautiful. Under the pressure of recording an album on a budget but with as supportive a fanbase as ever, Johnny Foreigner vs. Everything will more than satisfy those fans and hopefully make them many new ones. A tracklisting full of small victories, Johnny Foreigner might feel like they're at war, but right now they're only winning their battles.

Customer Reviews
We are grateful to be able to provide products and services to some of the greatest people on the planet and are encouraged by the following Customer Reviews.
Words of praise are powerful things, and when we get them, we share them with the whole crew. There's nothing like a well deserved pat on the back, and knowing that we're doing our job right makes our work that much more rewarding.
A terrific company to work with...beat the other bids and finished before schedule. More importantly,doing some important redesign of the original system. This was a huge job with 6 heat pumps and 6 air handlers. They made me look good, as everyone at New Life Church commented on how I had picked the right team for the job. They reviewed all system choices and our new heating system works very efficiently. All the staff commented on how polite and knowledgeable the techs were and how they cleaned up after themselves. Great job and we highly recommend them.
Jerry H.
Dear Mr. Lofstrom
I had the pleasure of having your company and employees install a replacement heat pump for me this last week. I want to pass on my praise for the outstanding employees that you have. I was very impressed with their professionalism, punctuality, and courtesy.
My initial contact was with Chris when he arrived for the initial evaluation of my needs. He was very informative and gave me all the information that I need to make an informed decision. Estella was the next person that performed the pre- test of the integrity of the old system and it's associated duct work.
The installation was performed by Estella, Deb, Brandon and Chuck. They were very knowledgeable and able to answer all of my questions with a full explanation. I was particularly impressed with with their respect for my home. They were extremely careful to cover all of their work areas with drop clothes and plastic to insure that everything remained clean. After they were done each day, they carefully picked up all of their debris and even vacuumed to ensure that the home remained clean.
Brandon and Chuck worked under the house in the cramped crawl space and replaced all of the defective original ducting. They were very informative and showed me the material they removed and explained why it was defective. Also, they cleaned and repaired some defective clothes dryer vent that was observed while they were under the house.
Our home is much warmer and the temperature is even from front to back, something that we had never experienced before. Deb was very patient explaining the working of the new thermostat and made sure that I understood it. Estella performed the post- test and the PUD representative was extremely pleased with the outcome of the whole installation.
Again, I wish to express my thanks to your company and employees for a great job and being such a pleasure to work with.
Gary W. Velie
Peninsula Heat Company;
To whom it may concern;
My husband and I wanted to express our appreciation for the excellent installation of our furnace and heat pump and also for the follow up of servicing everything, Steve Rader is an asset to your company, so very efficient and went over everything he did.
It is becoming all too rare these days to find a company that goes to such great lengths to satisfy its customers. I hope your success will show others that old fashioned hard work and consideration for customers are values that are rewarded in our society.
Best of luck in the future.
Robert & Betty Marshall
Everyone on the job was so professional, friendly and even cared so much about keeping my house clean throughout the entire installation. The whole installation was such a positive experience!!
I am so very happy that we chose your company to do the work!! Make sure you let the owner know what an incredible crew of people you guys have. We are beyond pleased. I certainly let everyone know what a great company you are. Thanks sooooo much.
- Dixie Hoffart
Your service crew is above and beyond the call of duty.
We appreciated their work. Each one was outstanding.
Thank you,
Ken Lofstrom,
Peninsula Heat Company,
I want to express my gratitude to you and your employees Brandon and Lee on their exceptional skill and expertise in the installation of a ductless heating system in my home this week.
Thank you so much for going to the trouble of fabricating that extra stainless steel hood cover.
I was so much pleased by the professionalism, politeness, congeniality and willingness to get the job done that your team has exhibited. They were working outside in 30 degree weather until dark and then improvising lighting so they could work even later to get the job to a good stopping point, and then back promptly the next day to finish the job.
Well done, Ken, on putting together such a good cohesive and powerful crew!
The unit works good and keeps our home nice and toasty warm.
Bob Bouck
LaPush, Washington
Thank you very much for your excellent service. I was very pleased and impressed with your service and installation persons. They were both a pleasure to do business with.
It's refreshing to know there's still companies like yours that still give top of the line service.
Thank you,
A big thank you to your company and your employees. Your answering service this morning (at 4:30 a.m.) put me in touch with a service technician who was able to make a quick trip out here after a phone call to the fire dept.
Our servers were saved thanks to quick response from the fire dept., your answering service, and your employees.
Thanks so much.
So grateful we have you.
Patsy Caldwell
Alaska Power & Telephone Co.
Please let Estella know that we think she did a fantastic job installing our new furnace. She is very friendly, personable and knowledgeable.
Everything she did was efficient, from the initial testing to final clean-up, of course. She was here the entire day, and we thoroughly enjoyed her company.
You are truly lucky to have such a great employee.
A great big THANKS!! Peninsula Heat - and especially to Estella.
Karren G. Craw
Recently we had a heat pump installed and are very satisfied with the results.
We especially would like to commend the installer, Chris Blue, for his professionalism in all aspects of the installation. Chris took extra care to make sure all components were positioned to our satisfaction.
He thoroughly explained the installation process and invited us to ask questions during the installation. His demonstration of the remote controller was well done and completed only after we were comfortable using the device.
Chris was careful to collect all dust resulting from the installation and there was no cleanup necessary after his departure. Please pass on to Chris our compliments for a job well done.
Cyndi Ross
Mike Witkin
Dear Chuck and team,
Great job and timing was great!! I will recommend you guys!
Jerry Austin
Our experience was very pleasing. Everyone we had contact with was friendly and professional.
It was also nice to have workers show up on time and finish what they started.

My heating duct was repeatedly repaired by a handyman service hired by the sellers realty company. The third repair did not take as he used tape which was not proper for what was needed. I called the a/c company used by the reality company to come out an let me pay them to make the repair. They never showed up or called. Never heard from them again.
So I called Peninsula and not only did they call me right back, they worked me in right away the next day. They sent a lovely lady out to make the repair PROPERLY. Done. Now instead of heating the crawl space (as I had been for two months) I am heating the house. She was wonderful and the service was great. A company that will make time for a small job must be super super good at the big jobs! A company that won't come out for a small job isn't worth the time - so will never use that other company ever. Only Peninsula!!!

We needed a new heat pump compressor unit. After conferring with the Ken the owner on the phone, we decided on what I needed. He sent Steve, the service manager to do the installation and it turned out we needed a completely different kind of unit.
They had the new unit in the next day and Steve had it in that afternoon. And they charged me the same price. Never was there ever any attempt to try and upwell me something I didn't need or would have trouble affording. I couldn't be happier with the sales, service and product I received. I talked to Kathy who works at a local golf course. They got the same kind of no pressure deal from Ken. He even talked her out of expensive service they didn't need. Her and her mother are very happy too. Thanks again.

The cheerful and energetic older twin. Hinata is always with his younger twin, Yuta. He loves mischief, and he'd switch places with Yuta in class from time to time. Hinata is also the leader of the unit 2wink.
Even in the Light Music Club, which he joined with Yuta, he takes club activities with a carefree attitude. While they usually get along great, his twin brother isn't satisfied with 2wink's course of action as a duo. He eats a lot and loves sweets, but doesn't like spicy food.
Hinata is of average height and build, and can be seen smiling more often than his twin Yuta. He has medium length orange hair that is parted in the middle, with two dark pink clips on the left side. His eyes are green. He wears the school's uniform with the collar up and his shirt untucked. He can also be seen usually wearing hot pink headphones with the cord tucked into the pocket of his blazer, which is left unbuttoned. The headphones have a small black and white circle design on them. He also wears dull blue sneakers with red accents and white laces.
On stage, Hinata wears a sleeveless, high collared vest that is opposite in colors to Yuta's outfit. The color scheme is their unit's signature colors--hot pink and aqua blue, and accented with white and black. He also wears harem pants designed in the same colors, with the main color being pink. The pants have two black straps on the sides and yellow buckles. He wears pink high top sneakers with aqua blue, white and yellow accents. He also wears pink and white striped wrist bands, with white bracelets over them. He also wears a pair of headphones in white and pink, different from his usual ones. Hinata wears pink and aqua nail polish when performing.
- Hinata's first name means "sunny spot," which reflects his bright personality. Both his and his twin's names are solely written in hiragana. Their last name is the name of a species of plant whose scientific name is Asarum caulescens Maxim., characterized by its heart-shaped leaves, two of which often grow symmetrically from the same stem, which parallels the fact that Hinata and Yuta are a pair of twins.
- Hinata's autograph consists of his first name and the initial of his last name, rendered in Roman letters. His autograph also features a triangle motif--2wink's signature design.
- Hinata has quite a sweet tooth.
- Hinata is good at dealing with children, as shown in Dark Night Halloween
- In Christmas Live, it is revealed that Hinata changed his favorite foods and colors to differentiate himself from Yuuta.
- Strawberry Colored Holiday and Compensation Festival then reveal that his optimistic attitude and love for sweets became an actual part of his personality at some point.

Voice Actor Comment
"Hinata-kun and Yuta-kun both have this cheerful, mischievous, and friendly image, but Hinata-kun is supposedly more spirited, while Yuta-kun is slightly troubled by his older twin, and I find this configuration kind of charming. During the recording sessions, I kept thinking about how fun it would be to interact with one's siblings like this every day, as I'm an only child myself."

His most recent works, Magic of the Ordinary: Recovering the Shamanic in Judaism, and Kabbalah 365, have won him wide acclaim as a pioneer in accessing the lesser-known indigenous mystery traditions of Judaism. Author of 15 books and grandfather of seven, Gershon has long been a pioneer in the recovery and dissemination of ancient and early-medieval Jewish shamanic wisdom and practice.

Our company was born out of a year long search for the perfect bag to transport and protect our Tarot and Oracle decksas well as any other treasures we may want with us.
We searched for anything that was made of the right materials, and was durable. It had to feel "right", charged with positive energy. We began to think we were the only ones who were being so picky about what we wanted! We soon discovered there were many others looking for the same things. We put in many hours of design trials and errors before finding the perfect one.
Aeon Moon was finally born! We use nothing but natural fabrics. The bags we create are made of 100% cotton velvet and all are lined with 100% Silk Dupioni fabric. The double drawstrings and thread are also pure cotton.
We feel it's important not only to use the right materials but also to produce each item with love and gratitude so that nothing but positive energy enters the fibers. We hope you enjoy our creations for years to come!
Blessed Be,
Pam & Jim

I'm keen to release this one so I can see what folks think of the trilogy's ending.

Also known as meta-cognating.
Lately I have been thinking about thinking a lot, and I guess right now I'm thinking about writing about thinking about writing about thinking about thinking.
Confusing, right?
Well thinking about thinking is lonely in a way, because I think that I'm just a brain separated from everything else in my body, except if I'm just thoughts do I even own my body, and how do I move and act?
Science explains the electronic pulses in my brain (A.K.A all of me since I am just thoughts) and all my movements, but doesn't it seem like we are something more? Or is that just overconfidence and superiority complexes?
And why did I just switch tenses?
Ok this journey into my mind is probably either boring you or hurting your brain so that is all for now, Goodbye!
Oh and I nearly forgot, as I used to say long ago:
It's time for the Jedi..to end.

"Tale-bearing [i.e. gossiping] emits a threefold poison, for it injures the teller, the hearer, and the person concerning whom the tale is told. Whether the report be true or false, we are by [a] precept of God's Word forbidden to spread it." -Charles Spurgeon

Living as a Body
"So often we find ourselves saying something like, "Say, did you hear about Harry and Sue? It seems they're really having some problems. They're even thinking about a divorce. It's too bad. Why can't people get along with each other anymore?" Just as the parts of the physical body never communicate with such negativity and indifference, neither should we. Rather, we should rush the restorative powers of the body to those hurting members. Basically, this means that the ministry of the Holy Spirit needs to be applied by the loving and concerned prayer of other members. Even in this area, though, we need to be careful that we do not gossip under the guise of sharing a prayer request. Every word we say about the hurting of another believer should be motivated strictly by a sincere concern for that person's welfare and a desire to see the restorative power of the Holy Spirit at work in his or her life." -Jerry Bridges, True Community

The world of legendary writer J. D. Salinger is brought vividly to life in this revealing look at the experiences that shaped one of the most renowned, controversial, and enigmatic authors of our time. Set amidst the colorful backdrop of mid-20th century New York City, REBEL IN THE RYE follows a young Salinger (Nicholas Hoult) as he struggles to find his voice, pursues a love affair with famed socialite Oona O'Neill (Zoey Deutch), and fights on the frontlines of World War II. It's these experiences that will inform the creation of his masterpiece, "The Catcher in the Rye," bringing him overnight fame (and notoriety) and leading him to withdraw from the public eye for the rest of his life. Costarring Kevin Spacey and Sarah Paulson, REBEL IN THE RYE offers a tantalizing window into the life and times of a little-understood genius who broke the rules and redefined American literature.

By Shaifali Agrawal:
The thinnest, lightest and fastest iPhone is here. The pre-ordering of iPhone 5 began on the 14th of September and is expected to fetch 1.3 million to 1.5 million buyers in the first week, which is more than the first week pre-orders of the iPhone 4. The iPhone 5 launch date has been set for September 21st and Apple is hoping to sell as many as 10 million of the devices in just the first few days of launch. Thanks to the hype, the leaks, the crazy fans, the blog posts and the tweets: the entire day of the commencement of pre-ordering was about nothing else but the iPhone release, its awesome features, its price, etc. Now, the ultimate goal of most marketing plans is to generate the kind of interest the iPhone created before and after the event.
There was a time when Apple was the only Smartphone in the market, but it now has rivals to compete with. Samsung and HTC have taken the front seat the entire year, with Samsung Galaxy S3 selling more than 10 million units in its first two months on the market, reaching sales figures comparable to those of Apple. Samsung wants to portray itself as 'Better, faster and cheaper'.
"What's in a name?'' Shakespeare avowed. He did not know his words would be echoed even in the 21st century where they won't hold true. Does a brand name increase its value, or only its price? Samsung's stand is that it can provide you at a lesser price what Apple would, at a much higher price. Though Samsung is the king of mobiles in the market as of now, but somewhere its policy of providing you great features at a not-so-expensive price lowers its position in a status-conscious and pretentious society. It does not matter if the price tag is burning a hole in your dad's pocket; you need to flaunt your iPhone 5 in front of your enemies. And you can be sure that, that friend of yours would go green with envy.
Because of the competition, Apple hyped up its new release and though the publicity and excitement among the fans was noticeable, the iPhone 5 fell short of the people's expectations. One particular website called it "the victim of its own marketing plan's success". Despite not fulfilling the expectations, Apple would still continue to be in minds of people as a leader in functionality, beautiful design, and innovative device. The iCraze will definitely not die out soon.

Hope is the greatest thing for moms of autism. Hope is what gets us out of bed in the morning. I'm on a mission to tell parents that there is a way.
Having a child makes you realize the importance of life - narcissism goes out the window. Heaven on earth is looking at my little boy. The minute he was born, I knew if I never did anything other than being a mom, I'd be fine.
I guess now that I think back, I used to play priest and be a funny priest. I don't know, I grew up in such a Catholic family that I kind of liked to test the boundaries a little bit and I think I had fun watching my mom laugh.
When I was a little girl, rocking my little dolls, I remember thinking I would be the world's best mom, and so far I've done it.

Scuba Diving in Saint Martin is fantastic! We have a little something for everyone, including wrecks, canyons, lava tubes, healthy reefs and tons of marine life. In late winter we often dive with dolphins and have had close encounters with Humpback Whales. Turtles are regulars on our dive sites, as are sharks and eagle rays. For macro photography and for those of you that just love the small stuff, Saint Martin has sea horses, nudibranchs and a wide variety of other small critters.
We offer diving for both experienced divers, first time divers, and everyone in between!
You may choose to join one of our two tank dive trips. In our Grand Case location we offer two dives in the morning at 8:30 am check-in time, and two in the afternoon 1:30 pm check-in time, and in our Philipsburg location we offer two dives in the morning at 8:30 am check-in time, and one dive in the afternoon at 1:30 pm check-in time. Octopus Diving is the only St. Martin dive center that offers 2 tank dive trips, twice per day.
For the true V.I.P. experience we offer private diving charters. All equipment is included as well as fruit, water and snacks. Private charter itineraries are weather permitting, full day tours can be tailored to your needs and dive experience. We can also offer diving charters to those that have a mixed group of certified divers, beginner divers and snorkelers.
You would be surprised how many cruise shippers we take diving
and snorkeling. Why so many? It is because so many cruise ship customers are sick of the service they are getting on those huge cattle boats that take out tons of divers. They are interested in quantity NOT quality and we are the exact opposite. For cruise ship divers we offer a 8:30 AM trip in our Bobby's Marina location, near by the Cruise Port.
The first time that you go diving is a very special experience and one that you never get back. We offer an experience unlike any other diving center offers. We can take you on a real scuba dive with experienced instructors inside the marine reserve, and you don't have to have any experience at all. You simply need to be 10 years old or more and in good health. We also offer the chance to do two dives with us. You will be blown away with your first dive at Creole Rock, and then after the first dive your instructor will ask you if you would like to go on a second dive at a different site. If you say yes, then off we go to Turtle Reef where you get to experience the same underwater magic again.
We also offer combination trips for mixed groups of divers AND snorkelers. This way, you can go diving and don't have to leave any of your friends or family on the shore, they can come with you! You may even convince them to try diving for the first time! If they do just want to hang out on the boat or snorkel, then our popular combination trips are the way to go!

Clay & Terracotta of Bihar & Jharkhand

Other crafts
The tradition of clay and terracotta in Bihar dates back to the Mauryan period when hundreds of male and female figurines and animal figures --- horses, elephants, birds, and reptiles --- were made of clay and baked. This tradition continued down to the Mughal period. Each village, district, and region has its own style of pottery and of decoration. The some rituals continue to be practised in their original form. The making of toys and images was --- and is --- closely connected with seasonal festivals and other religious ceremonies. In the past, clay village gods or gram devtas could be seen outside each village, guarding the inhabitants against bad luck, illness, and the wrath of nature. Clay elephants, signifying marriages, could be seen on the roofs of houses. These figures were not merely religious but also served as toys for children and decorations in bed chambers. Sometimes they were hand-modelled, while at other times they were moulded.
Today, the potter's art in Bihar is confined to medium and coarse red wares and the making of dolls and toys on festivals and special occasions.

I tried to break up a navigation structure by using two separate instances of <ul id="menuV2"> on the same page, in order to put a differently colored and styled separator between them -- a topic header of sorts.
The script didn't seem to like that, however. While the second set of links & buttons was styled the same as the first (in terms of font style, background image, and mouse-over bg), there were no arrows and no break-outs in the second set.
What does one need to do for a second menu to behave the same as the first?
Also, I found that the breakouts will not display the same background image as the primary navigation links, despite my having set a background image for them, as follows:
#menuV2 ul li {
background: #eff7fe url(/Images/Backgrounds/vmenu_bg_blue.jpg) repeat-x 0 2px;
background-image: inherit;
(Note that I changed the value of 'background-image' from 'none' to 'inherit'.) The background color '#eff7fe' does show up in the breakouts, but not the image.
Could you please give me a hint as to what I'm doing wrong? Thank you kindly. :-)

Sea Gull Fund Continues to Grow at SU
|Pictured, from left: Lead analysts Kyle Cooper, Aaron Wall and Jennifer Pulliam use SU's Bloomberg terminal to perform research for the Sea Gull Fund
SALISBURY, MD---What are the odds a group of college investors can out-perform the Standard & Poor's average over the course of 16 years?
At Salisbury University's Franklin P. Perdue School of Business, very good.
Since 2001, groups of practicum students have managed an investment fund for the Salisbury University Foundation, Inc. In that time, the fund has grown from an initial balance of $286,000 to some $600,000 as of this September. Overall, the fund has seen 50.6 percent lifetime growth, besting the Standard & Poor's average of 48.11 percent over the same time period, said Dr. Herman Manakyan, who oversees the initiative.
Only about 30 percent of professional investors achieve long-term results that good, he noted.
"The students' returns are on par with those of our financial advisors," said Jason Curtin, SU interim vice president of advancement and interim executive director of the SU Foundation. "The fund not only allows us to fulfill our mission of providing meaningful educational opportunities for students, but to secure a good return on donor investment. It's a win-win."
The idea for the project began in 1999, when Perdue School alumnus Wayne Judkins and his wife, Melissa, also an SU graduate, sought to create a scholarship fund for SU students. As a senior trader with Goldman Sachs at that time, Judkins liked the idea of giving students hands-on experience by allowing them to manage the fund through an experiential learning course.
At the time, only about 70 other schools in the nation had such a program, Manakyan said. Today, that number has blossomed to some 250. A new faculty member in the Perdue School's Economic and Finance Department, Manakyan was selected to oversee the initiative due to previous experience with such student-directed funds through a program run by the Tennessee Valley Authority.
"We were early in recognizing the students' ability to manage real funds," he said.
The initial balance stemmed not only from the Judkins family's donation, but from a contribution from the Perdue School and from the SU Foundation Investment Committee. The committee recently reaffirmed its commitment to the program — now called the Sea Gull Fund — pledging an additional $50,000 investment each quarter for the next two years.
In the past 16 years, some 500 students have taken part in the program. Each semester, teams of three to four students are assigned to study investment opportunities in 10 sectors as defined by Standard & Poor's: industrials, consumer staples, consumer discretionary, energy, financials, healthcare, information technology, materials, telecommunications and utilities.
The students take a "top-down" analytical approach, considering the financial forecast, economic conditions and predictions for each sector, as well as how much weight that sector should carry in the overall portfolio. From there, they begin researching companies within those sectors which might make good investments. All students in the program vote, and a two-thirds majority is required before a purchase is made. In the end, the students must answer to an advisory board, which assesses their work.
"The idea is to make this initiative as real as possible for the students," Manakyan said, quickly adding that while he helps guide students through the process, he makes sure not to influence the outcome. "The instructor is only a facilitator. The students make all the decisions."
For the past five years, SU students in the program also have participated in the Global Asset Management Education (GAME) Forum for student fund managers at Quinnipiac University, further enhancing their experience. Lessons learned in the SU program have helped many get a leg up in the job market, Manakyan said.
Senior finance major Aaron Wall of Columbia, MD, agreed, calling the program "without a doubt the most beneficial education experience I have had at Salisbury. This class provides hands-on learning that is unmatched by any classroom instruction. When interviewing for jobs and internships, it usually is the first thing that comes up."
Wesley Cox, now a senior advisor at Sperry Van Ness-Miller Commercial Real Estate, Inc., said working with the fund prior to his graduation from SU in 2002 was "one of the best college experiences I had. Being the fund's lead advisor is what inspired me to want to be a leader from that point forward in my professional career."
Manakyan enjoys hearing success stories like Cox's. He is hoping to celebrate a success of a different kind soon: His goal is to see the Sea Gull Fund top $1 million by the end of 2018.

Saving into pension through work 'now seen as normal'
Workplace pension saving has become "the norm" for many employees, according to research released by the Government.
More than four in five (83%) employees eligible for automatic enrolment now see saving through a workplace pension as the normal step to take if you work.
Some 80% of employees are positive about the benefits of them being enrolled onto a workplace pension, while 83% feel they know where to go to find out more information.
And 79% of those with workplace pensions would welcome increasing their savings alongside employer contributions.
The Government is currently reviewing how to continue to build upon the success of automatic enrolment and how to encourage as many people as possible to save into a workplace pension. The review will report to Parliament by the end of 2017.
Minimum automatic enrolment contributions will increase to 5% in 2018 and 8% in 2019, the Government has previously said.
Employees are generally eligible for auto-enrolment if they are aged between 22 and the state pension age, earning £10,000 per year or more and working in the UK.
The survey of more than 1,400 eligible employees included people who have been enrolled and those who are due to be.
Automatic enrolment started in 2012 as part of efforts to boost the savings culture, amid concerns that people are living for longer but not putting enough money aside for later life.
The scheme started with the biggest firms, which tend to have more experience of pension saving, and it is now being rolled out among small employers.
By 2018, when the roll-out is complete, it is expected that up to 11 million people will be newly saving or saving more as a result.
The proportion of people staying in their pension rather than opting out has also been higher than had been expected, with around nine in 10 people remaining.
The Pensions Regulator recently announced that 8.3 million people have been automatically enrolled onto a workplace pension by nearly 700,000 employers.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) last week also showed how saving into a private pension can make a big difference to incomes later in life.
By 2016, retired households receiving a private pension had disposable incomes that were around 1.6 times higher than households that were not. Workplace pensions, individual personal pensions and annuities were classed as private pensions in the ONS's research.
Pension experts said last week that, with rises in the state pension age and an ageing population, people need to realise that the responsibility for pension saving is on their shoulders.
Work and Pensions Secretary David Gauke said: "Automatic enrolment has been a huge success, helping millions more people save into a workplace pension.
"These figures underline the fact that saving for a pension has become the new normal with people from all walks of life embracing it.
"A private pension should not be a privilege, it should be something that the vast majority can work towards to complement the state pension in later life."

Just as we have smart phones and other smart gear, smart homes are making an inroad into the real estate market. Just what is a smart home? According to Todd Lubar, a smart home is just like your regular home except that it has one or more smart features such as smart lights, shades or thermostats. Below are some common smart home features described in more detail by Mr. Todd Lubar.
Smart lighting and smart thermostats are two of the most popular and common smart home features you will find. A home with a smart light is one where you can turn on the lights remotely while away. Have a home in a forested area that is difficult to see at night without outdoor lighting? If those lights are smart lights you can turn them on while driving to your house. This makes it that much easier and safer to see your home and drive into your driveway.
According to Geeks News, Smart lights can also be programmed and synced together. You can program them to turn on during certain hours, such as when it is dark. Combined with a voice command feature, you may be able to turn on lights with voice commands or through a smartphone app. This will make flipping the lights on and off redundant.
The smart thermostat is similar to the smart lighting. You can activate the AC or heat while away to warm or cool the house as you are driving back home. It can also be programmed to save energy and maximize comfort. For more details visit The Bro Talk.
Todd Lubar says that the growing popularity of smart home technology is changing consumer expectations in the real estate market. A significant amount of people now expect to have smart home technology in their home and are willing to pay premium dollars for such a living place. New smart home features are also being added constantly that will continue to make our lives easier and more convenient as well. This is a trend that will only continue adds Lubar.
Mr. Todd Lubar is a communications major graduate of Syracuse University. He spent a significant portion of his early career working as a mortgage loan originator before starting his own businesses in property development and scrap metal recycling. Today Todd Lubar works at an investment company called TDL Ventures. It invests in startups that Todd Lubar deems to have significant growth potential.

Have you ever thought about the amount of garbage you create? Or how many times you have to take the trash out? For some people, it's a lot. Maybe even for you, maybe you have to take it out daily! But alas, there is an alternative solution to this: simply creating less trash.
Learn to say no. Try to buy less produce in plastic wrap. Say no to freebies, bargains, and cheap disposables. Cheap disposables. Heh. My favorite. They are items of low quality with cheap prices and we buy them if we maybe didn't have a lot of money to spend. Let me tell you something though: they're cheap for a reason. Being produced from chemicals and materials from questionable sources resulting in cut costs and leeching toxins. If you can, buy more from fresh farmer's markets and stay away from the bigger commercialized supermarket stores for food. Refusing more will eliminate a lot of your trash.
Everyone has things sitting at home that they never use. Why? We see something we want and BAM, we purchase it on impulse. Unfortunately, that joy and high and having it wears of quite quickly and then it just becomes another valueless item sitting around. A waste of resources and space collecting dust. What you can do, though, is give those items a second life. This way, someone else can reuse your things instead of going out and buying new - using up more products. Take your things to the Salvation Army, or Goodwill, or your local thrift store, or wherever! You can sell things online if that suits your better using eBay, Craigslist, or even if you are part of a Facebook "online garage sale" group. Sometimes there are even swap parties where people swap unwanted stuff with one another. Garage sales, flea markets. Maybe a friend or relative is hosting a garage sale and they will let you have your own table of stuff to sell. There are plenty of options. Reduce some of the cleaning chemicals from the cabinet in your home by swapping to some (great for cleaning) kitchen ingredients such as baking soda and white vinegar. Pay bills online, call and eliminate junk mail from being delivered to your house. There are so many ways to reduce stuff in your home.
Reuse / Repair
If something is broken in your home, repair and reuse. Mend clothes, upcycle items you would normally toss away. If something is beyond repair, dispose of it properly. There is no reason to keep something that is broken and useless. Buy only durable tings you can use over and over. Again, ditch the disposables. On top of creating less trash, reusing saves so much money because you're not using and having to replace right away. If you're having a hard time figuring out what is all disposable in your house, I've written up a list with some of them and what to use instead:
Cotton rounds - washable cotton rounds
Paper towels - microfiber cloths
Paper napkins - cloth napkins
Dish sponge - cotton cloth
Tea bags - loose tea leaves and mesh tea strainer / French press
Coffee filters - Reusable coffee filters - French press
Bottled water - Stainless steel or good quality glass (Plastic-free and BPA-free)
Cleaning wipes - microfiber cloths
Muffin paper liners - Greased pan
Plastic, cardboard, cans, glass, paper. This will already eliminate so much trash. Most things we throw away can be recycled. Tags, mail, toilet paper cardboard rolls, old plastic makeup containers, and etc. Unfortunately, a lot of recycling centers do not take plastic grocery bags so try to either request paper bags or (even better) bring your own cloth/tote bag instead. Something to keep in mind - while recycling is great, if you can buy less packaged stuff altogether (even if the packaging is recyclable), that is even better. You will feel so much more accomplished if you recycle and you will notice that you are taking the trash out significantly less and less by doing so.
Lastly, rot. Don't throw away food scraps and instead, get a worm bin and let them turn your scraps into fertilizer for your gardens and such. Or create a compost pile and just throw everything in there. It might sound gross, but it's just the nature of nature. So ultimately, it's really not that gross. It's the most efficient and local form of recycling and it's even more eco-friendly because it doesn't require transportation and the use to fuel! Waa-laaa.
There you have it: the five R's of zero waste. It's really not that hard and you can make small daily changes to slowly shift your life to zero waste. Make it a goal. The can be as little as only taking the trash out once a week or as big as only one Mason jar worth of trash for an entire year ;-)

Thanks for the recommendations! We went to Arthur Bryant's and maybe we caught them on a bad day cause it wasn't so great. We tried to go to Joe's, I think.
