Arizona LGBTQ Resources
Soft Skull Press
Since 2008, Miller and Bley have held an open call for young people to create comics that address a variety of topics involved with sex education. The work is chosen from a vastly varied group of submissions and attempts to challenge hetero and gender normative practices in sex education. The comics address topics like body image, safer sex, consent, and relationships, from positions that have historically been left out of sex education. These graphically illustrated personal narratives address different themes, such as "Firsts," "Bodies," "Health," "Age," and "Endings."

Lengthy campaign. Excellent online modes. Graphics bode well for the franchise. Nice soundtrack.
Frame rate chugs when the action is packed.
Bottom Line
Star Wars Battlefront is a big improvement over the franchise's last outing on the PSP. With a lengthy campaign plus a robust online model, it's a no-brainer for any Star Wars fan.
In Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron, you're a member of the Rebel Alliance gathered by Han Solo, and you fight your way through the galactic empire. You'll visit an assortment of locales, including the Valley of the Sith on Korriban, as well as participate in visually stunning dogfights in outer space. The gameplay on land is not as brisk as those in space, but is exhilarating nonetheless. The big kudos here is that the game features a robust online model where players can team up or compete with fans all over the world via Wi-Fi.

If you're building a new company career site, here are 15 features for you to consider to attract, engage and convert candidates.
1. A Compelling Headline— It's a shame that most company career home pages use just "Careers" or "Jobs" as their headline. Boring. Instead, write like a copywriter and be attention-grabbing (Huge Inc.) or Activision (pictured below), focused (Pivotal), or leverage social proof (Salesforce) in your headline (see #9 below).
If you can't settle on one headline, take Eventbrite's approach: Their headline is like a live ticker and rotates as you watch it — it's tough to want to click away.
2. Easy-to-Find Job Descriptions — Job descriptions are the most vital content to candidates and my rule of thumb is if a candidate can't see how or where to view your job openings within 2 seconds, you're failing. Hootsuite has their current job openings directly on their careers landing page.
3. Clear Calls-to-Action — What's the main thing you want your candidate to do? Eventbrite, for example, gives you 2 main calls-to-action: A) "View Open Positons" and B) "Keep in Touch" (talent community). Global Telesource's 2 calls-to-action are: A) Schedule an interview with a recruiter and B) Interview right now (video interview).
SnackNation's 2 calls-to-action are: A) Watch a video and B) View jobs. It's an interesting exercise to see what your existing career home page call to action is by conducting the squint-test: squint while looking at your careers site home page and see what graphical element jumps out (that is what the candidate sees as your primary call-to-action — is that what you want them to see?).
4. Videos — Career site videos can be compelling. Making them short (under 60 seconds) is recommended (Hootsuite's got a few and each is only 16 seconds) as candidates drop off after 60 seconds. And it's ok to have a straight up commercial video as long as it's supporting a theme that matters to candidates.
Mondelez International does a good job at this with their theme of "big and small". Morton's Salt's video is all about its brand and history and does an amazing job of making a commodity product feel special — that's what video can help do when you nail it.
5. Talent Network Opt-In — We touched on having a join talent network call-to-action in 5 Calls-to-Action to Make Your Job Descriptions More Effective blog piece. It's important to have an option for those who don't apply right away.
You can give the names and email addresses to your recruiting team and nurture these potential candidates with content on your company careers and current openings.
6. Mission — If you have a solid mission statement, consider putting it on your careers home page front and center. Check out Chipotle's careers home page (they put it right below their headline). AOL puts it lower on the page. Millennial candidates in particular love to hear the purpose/mission of your company.
7. Values — If your company has specific values then you should show that on your career home page (Pivotal) millennials and most people place value on this.
8. Careers Blog — Some employers have their own blogs just for the purpose of careers. Goldman Sachs, for example, features employee Q&A's, company views and initiatives. While Microsoft has a highly designed people-centric blog. Target, for example, shows off in one post that they are "Preparing for Interns Coast to Coast" (1,000 of them)– if you're an intern, that would catch your attention.
9. Social Media Buttons With Action — Most company career sites have simple icons or links to their social media channels. Goldman Sachs has clear social media calls-to-action ("Follow" us on Twitter and LinkedIn, "Subscribe" on YouTube, "Add us" on Google — it's subtle, but such action-oriented call-to-action words typically work better than a simple social media icon.
10. Top Reasons to Work for You — Many employers have a "Why work for me?" section and that's fine. But in copywriting, words matter and if you have a headline called "The Top X Reasons Why to Work for [You]", that is the type of headline that typically converts well.
Comtrade offers this right on their career home page with "10 Reasons To Work for Comtrade". Autodesk famously did a skunkworks project in which they listed the "Top 7 Reasons You Should Work at Autodesk" and got 1.6 million candidates to view it (and counting!).
11. Perks — Carrot points out on its home page that every new employee gets a "welcome kit" which is an app on an iPad ("which all new Carrots receive") to tell you about their policies, door codes and more. Yahoo says we put our employees first section directly on their career site home page.
12. Number (#) of Jobs — You should be upfront about the # of job openings you have and if it's a decent # (50 or more) I personally recommend you share that as early in the candidate process as possible (Houghton Mifflin and Pivotal).
This gives candidates the idea of scale of the company and which departments are most important. Pivotal even includes the # of jobs on its locations too, some candidates are going to be attracted by how many different offices they are hiring.
13. University & Student Section — It's important to appeal to people looking for an internship or a position straight out of school (some of your most impactful talent can come through this way). We've seen an increase in University and student sections on some of the biggest employers career sites including Google, Facebook, and Amazon.
14. Microsites for Locations — Many candidates (especially ones who have not heard of you) will be attracted to you for your location (whether because they live there or are able/want to move there). Check out Critical Mass (pictured below), Huge, and Atlassian.
15. Microsite For Departments — Another microsite that is useful for job seekers is job openings for certain departments. This makes filtering through positions much more convenient for candidates especially if your company has a massive amount of job openings. Hallmark (below) features its different department microsite off its careers home page.
Bonus Features:
Social Proof — Talk up your careers page with social proof: employee testimonials, seals of approval (best place to work, Glassdoor top employer, etc.). Show off: you've earned it! Salesforce (below) uses it as their headline currently. Activision does one of the best jobs of this.
Career Site FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) — Odds are job seekers and candidates will have at least one question whether its about the hiring process or working at your company, so having an FAQ will help keep the candidate engaged instead of clicking off somewhere because they feel it will take a long time to get an answer. UPS (below) has two FAQ sections covered.
**Update — If you find this article valuable you might also enjoy The 20 Best Company Career Sites (and Why!) and 20 Creative Ideas for Your Company Career Site.
Do you have a favorite company careers site idea that we missed?

Odin/Wotan is the mysterious wisdom bringer and god of the Norse and Germanic people. But in this video I explain why I think he is so much more.
Join me, as I traverse legends, mythology, local histories, and ancient sites, from Europe, to Turkey, Egypt, to Easter Island, and right through Central and South America, tracing the footsteps of this enigmatic figure known as "the wanderer."
I just wanted to add a note to say thank you very much to those who've supported us and the work we've been doing. Your donations allowed us to get all the equipment we used for filming these videos, so without your help it would not have been possible. Your support is so appreciated.

Hypnotherapy, EFT and Reiki for pregnancy and childbirth
Pregnancy can be one of the most stressful times for couples bringing forth all sorts of issues they have never even considered before. Mum becomes increasingly uncomfortable as her body changes, tiredness ensues bringing on stress through lack of sleep. Both parents can suffer a multitude of fears… fear of the birth, am I good enough, will I be a good enough parent and other fears can arise.
Unlike other Hypnotherapy for childbirth techniques, Hypnos-EFT and Reiki for pregnancy and childbirth is a course of sessions designed to relax parents and help them work through any fears and other issues prior to the birth, culminating in learning self-hypnosis to help mum through the birth process in a relaxed, joyous way, ready to welcome their baby into the world as naturally as possible.
Each course consists of five sessions via Skype in which any issues will be discussed and a combination of Hypnotherapy and EFT will be performed. This will be coupled with five sessions of Reiki for both parents, performed from a distance, all designed to resolve issues and relax parents throughout the pregnancy, and aim for an easier birth.
Relaxed parents lead to a more relaxed birth and ultimately a more relaxed baby.

Remember Jamie Kern from BB1?
Don't feel bad if the answer is No. I didn't expect everyone to jump up and down and say "I do! I do!".
Jamie Kern can best be remembered from the first season of BB1 for the following:
1. Wearing WAY too much lipgloss.
2. Thinking she looked great wearing WAY too much lipgloss.
3. Not having enough balls to say why she was nominating two houseguests for eviction. (Jamie: I flipped a coin!)
4. Choosing to meet with a Casting Director in the DR instead of seeing her Mother after winning a reward challenge. And then totally blowing it with the Casting Director as the interview was broadcast live. (Casting Director: Are you interested in film, TV or hosting? Jamie: Oh, I'm interested in anything! I'll do anything!)
5. Being Miss Oregon, or some shit like that.
Anyway, Jamie has apparently married someone and now goes by Jamie Kern-Lima. She hypenates. And it looks like Jamie is ready for another Fifteen minutes, from the looks of it. Calling Michelle from BB11 a slut and slamming her fake tits and botox! Getting into it with Marvin Latimer from BB5! (Loved Marvin from BB5!)
This has got to be a joke, right? She's attacking previous house guests specifically to provoke them. If Jamie was really like this, BB1 could have been entertaining, right?

Jamie was awesome. Everything she did was nice and genuine on BB1. I don't blame her for getting mad at Marvin's comment. I'm not sure I totally believed this whole twitter thing... she isn't even on that website and I find it hard to believe someone as sweet as her would say that about Michelle. It could be some random person because after all, it doesn't say verified.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 9, 2014 at 3:57 AM
I would hardly say she blew it with a casting agent. What aspiring actress isn't interested in films, television, and hosting? She obviously did well since she's still on TV. Why would she meet her mother in the DR when she'd be seeing her at home anyway? That reminds me of when people criticized Libra for choosing a vacation over a letter from her infant children, (you know, because infants CAN'T pick up a pen and write!).ReplyDelete
Do houseguests ever have enough balls to say why they nominated someone? This season someone actually claimed they used Skittles for their nominations!!! Now THAT is having no balls!
- AnonymousJanuary 29, 2016 at 6:17 PM
You'd have to be a moron to believe that Twitter account was really hers. It wasn't even verified and was shortly removed.ReplyDelete
Your comments are welcome, but please do not include links to other websites, no matter what they are. All posts containing links will be deleted.
Also, if possible please don't be a jackass.
Thank you!

Well Sunday January 6th 2013 was our middle boy's, Alex, 8th Birthday. We went to a local park here in the city, one of the nicer ones….lol. Anywho, we were trying to beat the rain. We had mountains as a backdrop and you could watch the system come over the mountain. So as we were racing the clock, we sat down to pizza, birthday cake and cupcakes for lunch. We kicked a ball around for a short time and let the kids play, but very soon the rain came. It also turn colder, but that didn't dampen our spirits. We let the kids continue to play under the pavillion roof, which was good sized as there were 8 tables underneath it. So while the kids played, our buddy got out a bag of BBQ briskettes and we decided to like a fire, not to cook, but to stay warm. So one thing led to another and with the help of the kids finding sticks and bark, we had a rocking and rolling fire going. It was going so good that not even the rain could put it out…lol. We sat on two benches just 2-3 feet away from the fire and we were all able to stay warm. We threw in the last of the sticks to burn them off and a short time later when the fire died down, all was left was a huge bed of burning red hot coals. You could still feel the heat about 4-5 over the coals. So when it was time to leave we went ahead and wet down the coals to be on the safe side.
I found this on a group I follow on Facebook "Homestead & Preppers". It is a great bunch of people who are like minded and hate conspiracy thereorists. Feel free to share and add any thing else in the comment section below.
Water PURIFIER…some mistake a filter for a purifier. There are many great ones on the market depending on your needs. I googled purifiers that are used on mission trips in 3rd world countries…that's how I chose mine. I wanted a purifier that made the most polluted water into clean drinking water. I also wanted one that purified water for entire villages…that led me to the more reliable ones.
Food: here is my list…though again, you will want to customize to fit your family's needs. Oatmeal, granola bars, protein bars, noodles, rice, dried beans, honey, powdered milk, sunflower seeds, raisins, dried fruit, the big bags or ready soups (makes a lot), peanut butter, broth cubes, instant mashed potatoes, syrups, nuts, candy (comfort for kiddos). Also, I wanted your feedback on this http://paleofood.com/recipes/p emmican-rayspemmican.htm shelf life forever? I don't know anything about this so let me know.
Water: I stored some water to tie us over until we get the purifier up and going
Fire: you will need to cook, boil water, stay warm, etc. My husband got a nice survival knife as a gift…the butt of the knife comes off and it's a fire starter. Tender, waterproof matches (or regular matches just dip the tips in melted candle wax and store in air tight container). Also, this tip is FREE…dryer lint. We keep all dryer lint and store in ziplock bags…it's highly flammable and can start a fire easily when you're dealing with moisture on the ground. Learn natural ways to start fires as well.
Salt : lots of it. There are many uses for salt. Cleaning, preserving meat for long periods of time without a fridge, medical. Here's a link to familiarize yourself with the uses http://howtuz.tripod.com/salt.html
Baking Soda: you're gonna laugh but I bought the entire shelf one day lol They are typically around 50-65 cents… there was a buy one get one free that day so I have A LOT. Here are the uses of baking soda…and there are MANY : http://www.doomandbloom.net/20 12/06/3599.html
Meds : this can be as extensive as you want to make it. Soap, Toothpaste, Toothbrushes, Dental Floss, Razors, Baby Wipes, Toilet paper (or newspaper, hey, it's free), Insect Spray, Sunblock, Lotion/Lip Balm, Manicure Set (Nail Clippers, Nail Brush, File), Band-Aids, dressings, scissors, gloves, snake bite kit, rubbing alcohol, brandy (for bartering and medical uses), vitamin c, hydrogen peroxide, wound care, tweezers, quick clot sponge, dental care, aspirin, MEDICAL BOOK, gauze, butterfly closures, tape, medical tape, antibacterial hand cleaner, iodine swabs, triple antibiotic ointment, hemostat, surgical scissors, suture lip sissors (stitching someone up),….like I said, it can be as basic or as extensive as you need.
Seeds : HEIRLOOM seeds. Heirloom seeds are non-GMO seeds…also IMPORTANT. What happens if you stock up on seeds and you run out? Heirloom seeds provide you with a constant flow of food. You plant, enjoy your harvest, remove seeds from the veggie, dry, store and plant again. Heirloom seeds are a must. They have veggies, fruits, medical, herbs, etc…stock up.
Weapons: Guns, ammo, bows and crossbows, arrows, arrowheads, (and learn how to make them), knives, machete, etc. I included animal traps, fishing gear to this topic as well.
Clothes: like I said this will vary. But remember if you have kids, they will grow. I went to goodwill and got outfits in every size my kids are in from now-until. I also picked up (cheap) extra clothes for boys… I didn't want to be without should there be a family who wanders up in need.
Tools: Goodness, this can be like medical…as long or as short as you need. But remember, think of never being able to run to your local hardware store…so don't forget a good stockpile of nails, screws, DUCK TAPE, fishing line, snare wire, ziplocks, rope, paracord, etc.
Dwelling: If you're planning on bugging out, what type of shelter will you need? Some will be fine grabbing a sleeping bag and roughin' it on the ground underneath a tree… there are tents, campers, tarp-tents, etc…it depends on your plan and your family's needs. If you grab a tent (you can find them cheaper on craigs list, garage sales but don't purchase unless you see it put up.) be sure to grab any repair kits (that repair zippers, seams, holes) to repair accidents along the way. Duck tape stays inside my tent bag.
Cooking: I love cast iron…it's heavy but it'll get you through the long haul. You'll run out of propane fast…learn how to build a solar oven, it's cheap to do. Here's a link : http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=Hnynux2eGbY Cooking over direct camp fire is of course tried and true…however, in some situations, you don't want your ax echoing to the ends of the earth, giving away your location. In those situations, here's a link to a great channel on youtube…I've learned much from him when I first started this journey. He shows you how to make your own compact survival stove along with many other things https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=nHtA-d9hNPk
Sleeping bags: I actually picked up 3, heavy duty sleeping bags from goodwill…$3 each!!! Of course check zippers and liner.
Light: Hand crank flashlights…I ordered many of them online. Also, it's funny, but Crisco. If you get a can of Crisco, shove a wick down the bottom, light it… it burns for up to 45 days, depending on how long you use it. Google it…It works! And it's cheap! Of course you can search for cheap candles at many local garage sales, etc.
Sorry that I have not posted any photos that I have took myself here recently. Ever since before Christmas I have not really had any inspiration or drive to get out and do any photography. The Holidays were enough stress by itself, but I have come to find living where we are, well for lack of a better word is, depressing. Being that I suffer from depression myself, living here and trying to do what I can to protect my family and see that my kids had a good Christmas really took its toll on me. The area we live is has progressively gotten worse since we moved in in May of 2010. The violence has gotten worse and there are times I fear for my life just going outside to walk the dogs. Everyday I find it tough to start a project let alone finish one.
My hobbies have taken a back seat to everything. I have not picked up my camera and captured a photograph. I started drawing last year. One drawing was done and it was do big thing as I am a very new novice at drawing. I recieved a very nice art set for Christmas and I have yet to use it. And my long time favorite hobby, model railroading, has not even gotten past a piece of paper. I talk to different people who are into each one of my hobbies and I start up conversations and I do try to learn what I can. However I find it difficult to get past my depression and find the drive and motivation to do anything. I mean, I do things around the house, well what I can with reguards to my disability, but thats about it. I go out daily to walk the dogs within our apartment complex, and I have gone out and about a couple of times within the past couple of weeks, which does me some good. But its like what I get back inside, the darkness falls over me again and I loose what happiness and drive I did have.
I have come to find that the City of San Bernardino and the state of California is depressing. No one will ever be able to get me to change my mind. We are curretly looking for a place in Arizona where its slightly better when it comes to a few things, but at least its not here. Maybe after we move I will have more drive to do things. But until then I guess I am going to fight my way to find any motivation.
Yet another recipie from the OHG Yahoo group. This one I really must try to bake. It sounds yummy.
Cranberry Nut Bread
4 tablespoons butter 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1/3 cup brown sugar 2 large eggs 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon almond extract, optional 3/4 cup sour cream or yogurt, full-fat or low fat-preferred 1 cup King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour 1 cup King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour or Premium Whole Wheat Flour 1 cup dried cranberries 1/2 cup walnuts coarse white sparkling sugar or Demerara sugar, optional, for topping
Preheat the oven to 425°F for muffins, or 350°F for a loaf.
Lightly grease a standard muffin tin. Or line with 12 paper muffin cups, and grease the cups with non-stick vegetable oil spray; this will ensure that they peel off the muffins nicely. If you're baking a loaf, lightly grease an 8 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ loaf pan.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat together the butter, vegetable oil, and sugars until smooth. Add the eggs, beating to combine. Stir in the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, the vanilla and almond extracts, and the yogurt or sour cream. Place the flours in a food processor with the dried cranberries. Process until the berries are coarsely chopped. Add the nuts (if they're not chopped), and process briefly, just until the nuts are chopped up a bit. Stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until everything is thoroughly combined.
Divide the batter among the wells of the muffin tin, filling each one about 3/4 full.
Or scoop the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle muffins or loaf with coarse white sparkling sugar or Demerara sugar, if desired.
Bake the muffins for 14 to 15 minutes, until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into one of the center muffins comes out clean.
Bake the loaf for 45 to 55 minutes, until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the muffins or bread from the oven. Tilt the muffins in the pan to cool a bit, then transfer them to a rack to finish cooling. Serve warm or at room temperature. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a rack to cool completely. For best results, don't slice until completely cool. Store muffins or bread well wrapped, at room temperature, for 2 to 3 days; freeze for longer storage.
Store muffins or bread well wrapped, at room temperature, for 2 to 3 days; freeze for longer storage.
Yield: 12 muffins or 1 loaf.

In 1951, Chanel tried to mechanize the production of a batch of bottles called "Chanel squares".
One of the greatest difficulties it had to overcome was that of setting sorting criteria standings at levels never attempted before. By doing so, they had, in effect, introduced a radical change in the trade's production outlook shifting it from the manufacturing of a simple solid waterproof package to that of a prestigious object for which not even the slightest defect could be tolerated.
Sorters were specifically trained to carry out this type of grading and selection. Later, they eventually became fully qualified supervisors.
This selective sorting constraint, which can lead to the elimination of perfectly functional articles, continues today to contribute to the Bresle Valley's reputation.

Ralph Scoular and Cletus Schuttloffel both lost their wives in the past few months and have demonstrated a sense of camaraderie in adjusting to their new lives. They eat their meals together in the dining room and sit in the lobby by the fireplace after breakfast to discuss news items of note that they read about in the newspaper or otherwise absorb in the media. They are also both veterans of the United States Military. Ralph was a navigator for the Air Corps and Cletus delivered ammunition in the Naval Air Corps. They were both caretakers for their wives and feel the void of losing that very unique relationship in their lives. They are frequently on opposite sides of a political issue but are very respectful of each other and admit that "sometimes we just don't choose to discuss politics."
When asked what they value most about a friend, they both agreed that being able to be honest and share interests are the most important foundations of a good friendship. They like doing "small town" things like going out for a drive in the community to check out new stores that have opened. They also like to occasionally share a meal in Ralph's apartment and go out to the store to buy provisions together. One of the men is Catholic, the other Methodist, one was a business owner and the other worked full time at Morrell's as well as farming evenings and weekends. Both men are grateful for the opportunity to live in a place where they can share a sense of community with other residents every day.

Fiberglass Shelters
Prefabricated Fiberglass Shelters are designed to house and protect mechanical and electrical controls, process equipment, chemicals, and workers … in a variety of industries. "With the launch of our new shelters, we are excited to continue offering our customers a wide variety of solutions for their operational needs," says Darren Simmie, Senior Product Manager at Orenco Systems, Inc. "These super-strong, insulated shelters are built to withstand the most hazardous weather conditions, offering reliable protection for any contents or personnel inside." Standard sizes are 8 feet tall, 4-to-16-feet wide, and up to 42 feet long. Custom widths and heights are available.
Shelters are made of foam-core fiberglass walls, closed-molded to ensure a watertight, seamless bond. Then a UV-stable gelcoat — for protection from continuous, outdoor exposure and corrosion — is applied. Each structure is built to handle up to 100 psf on its roof and, when properly anchored, can resist winds up to 130 mph. Standard walls and ceilings range from 2-to-4 inches thick and have an insulation value that ranges from R12 - R24. Despite their rugged, durable construction, the shelters are lightweight, making them easily transportable and manageable. The units are delivered fully assembled with painted steel or fiberglass doors and are ready to connect to electricity and other utilities. A versatile wall strut system makes it easy to mount equipment on virtually any wall.

Swindlers list: Student loses $3,500
A classic classified scam is back, and a rising third-year UVA student trying to sublet an apartment on craigslist was bilked out of $3,500 over the weekend.
The playbook was standard: The student received a response from someone purporting to be from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, [warning sign #1] wanting to rent the apartment unseen. They sent a $5,000 check [warning sign #2, usually a fake cashier's check] for the $1,500 rent [warning sign #3– the amount is way over the rent or sales price]. The student was asked to deposit it and write checks from her account for the overage, in this case to pay for airline tickets and storage, says Charlottesville police Officer Phil Wauple.
The young woman deposited the bogus check Saturday, May 19. She sent out checks from her account May 21, and on May 22, her bank said the check was no good and asked, "Hey, where's our dough?" says Wauple. And by then, the victim's checks had already been cashed.
"There's no way she's ever going to get her money back," observes Wauple.
He's surprised people are still falling for the ploy, which the Hook and other local papers have written about. At the top of the craigslist apartment rentals page, a link in red leads to advice for avoiding frauds and scams.
But sadly, sometimes the lessons learned are not in a university classroom.
1 comment
Unfortunately, it seems few people read those warnings. I run a smaller classifieds site and get people telling me of these scams on a regular basis. I usually have to point out the big Red "Classifieds Scam Alert" link just under my header.

Navigating the Complex Singapore Real Estate Market With These 5 Easy Steps
Good quality properties are very hard to find in Singapore. There are countless housing options available and an intimidatingly large database to peruse and process. Using the right website, the process of finding property in Singapore can be simpler and easier while still yielding the desired results.
Identify Your Target Property
More often than not, people searching for properties fail to fully understand their needs, preferences, and goals before even viewing properties. As a result, the process becomes more stressful to bear or they end up buying a property they will regret 5 to 10 years from now. Sit down and think of what your target qualities for a property in Singapore are.
Are you looking for HDB for sale or a condominium unit? Perhaps a swimming pool, in-house gym, or any other amenity you wish to have access to? HDB flats, short for Housing and Development Board, is an allocation system that provides flexibility in timing and location for people shopping for new homes in the country and are either existing homeowners or foreigners who just moved into the country.
Aside from housing type, environmental factors will also play a key role in home shopping. Is the condo near MRTsystem, which gives you access to most establishments and social services in the area? Is the neighborhood safe to live in? Are the rooms for rent priced fairly based on other rented housing options within the area?
Do Diligent Research
If there is anytime to put on your researcher shoes, investing in a property is one of the best times to do so. You will be spending a great sum of money for this purchase, so you have to be sure you are locking in the right property. There are a plethora of legitimate and free-to-use resources online, one of which is 99.co Singapore property news. These news websites offer unbiased information regarding current economic conditions, changes in real estate policies, and property listings that have already been vetted.
Start your research by looking into a few Singapore-based realtors who are worth considering and contacting. Realtors will offer more in-depth information about properties than any other resource. They can go beyond the abstract level of property buying and investing. Although they cost money, hiring realtors is well worth the data and advice they bring to the table.
Preparing Financially
Now let's get down to brass tacks, which is budget. Know how much you can spend on a Singapore property as this sole factor will predominantly guide your decisions when picking a property. Understand that your currency value may increase or decrease depending on where you are coming from. For example, if you are relocating from the U.S., your money has higher buying power when you relocate to Singapore. Over the last decade, however, Singapore's economy has been prospering hence the costs of good in the area have also been rising.
Sit down with your family members and assess both existing savings and accessible financial aid. Do you have good credit scores to get a home loan in Singapore? Are you waiting for a considerable inheritance from parents or grandparents? Will you be able to buy basic necessities during your first few months in your new Singapore pad? These are all important considerations to tackle early on. Failure to address these issues can result in future monetary troubles and drastic lifestyle changes.
Singapore is a great place to live in and invest. The economy is promising, low crime rates, cutting-edge public transportation and public facilities, accessible social services, and a hospitable culture. There's practically a hundred reasons to either relocate or invest in Singapore.

ITDL trains to their strengths
The Instructional Technologies Distance Learning team participated in a staff retreat at the Delaware campus last month that focused on team-building and learning about one another's strengths. The retreat was facilitated by Lori McKenzie and Kristi Robbins in HR.

Pono Learning Community seeks new members
In 2010 – 2011, 26 people participated in the first Pono Learning Community with representation from students, staff, administrators and faculty. The response to the initiative was overwhelmingly positive, so Kim Brazwell, coordinator in Diversity and Study Abroad is planning to offer the opportunity to students and employees to join Pono in the 2011/2012 academic year.
Pono is a learning initiative designed to provide a space for open dialogue of diversity and social responsibility issues.
According to Brazwell, Pono means "right" and describes that exquisite sense of rightness that comes from being at one with everything. It is based on the ancient Hawaiian belief in spirit greatness and self power, in the unconditional love and compassion for, and the spirit connections between, all things.
During the 2011–12 academic year, Pono will run in two cohort groups: from October 2011 to February 2012 and from February 2012 to late May 2012. It is the participant's choice as to which cohort will work best for her/his work schedule. Here's what last year's participants said about Pono:
"Pono reminded me that I need to do more to be inclusive in the way I do things personally and at work."
"I learned that I have a long way to go in being cognitive of the various ways people express themselves."
"It was nice to be challenged by 'hard' topics that are often avoided. I loved listening and learning in addition to time to reflect."
"I learned how much diversity is all around us, literally at each and every interaction."
"This experience was truly one of the most enriching I have had as an employee. It reminded me of who I am and why I do this work."
For information on the schedule and participant expectations, please call Brazwell at ext. 2426 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

It's been a lovely fall season here in Southern Ontario. Warm (mostly) and (mainly) sunny and lo-o-o-ong! It makes the transition that much easier – and allows ALL the crops to be harvested in a timely manner without too much panic and shrieking. Now, though, the nights have a real bite and the sunlight has an attenuated quality … winter is not far away …
Time to break out the winter menus; chili and stew and thick soups. Comfort food, slow-you-down and stick-to-your-ribs food. Whatever you call it, it definitely includes this salad!
Lemon-Cumin Roasted Cauliflower Salad
Assemble marinade …
finely grated zest and juice of one lemon
1/3 c lemon juice
1/2 t salt
1 t pepper
2 T ground cumin
1 T chopped garlic
1 T ground coriander
whisk in …
1/3 c olive oil
Cut into bite-sized florets …
1 head cauliflower
Wash well, immersing in cold water several times.
Cut into chunky slices …
2 large carrots and 2 red onion
Parboil the carrot and thoroughly toss all vegetables with the marinade. Let sit for half an hour to get itself together. Just before service, turn out everything (vegetables and marinade) onto a parchment-covered baking sheet. Roast in a 350 F oven for 20 – 25 minutes, stirring several times. When stirring, use a flat spatula to pick up the marinade off of the parchment and re-distribute it over the vegetables. A cut-glass platter makes a nice serving vessel for this salad and a sprinkle of chopped parsley would not go amiss. Two of my favourite flavours (lemon and cumin) clinging to the meatiness of the cooked cauliflower … that will stick to your ribs!
Pro-tip for the carrots: start cooking them in just enough cold water to cover. By the time the water boils, they will be almost par-boiled all the way through. If you added the cold pieces to boiling water, the outside would be mushy by the time the heat penetrated to the centre of the carrot. Don't forget to use the cooking water in your next soup or stew (or as the-mom-who-lives-in-my-head says "Just drink it! It's full of vitamins!").
I like to use what I call a "roll-cut" on the carrots. It has lots of long, cut sides for the heat to penetrate quickly and it looks elegant. Start with a simple diagonal cut off of one end. This piece will be different from all its siblings … treat it gently.Now turn the carrot one quarter turn towards you and make another cut on the same angle Keep turning and cutting until you run out of carrot.
More extreme versions of our usual thanks go to volunteers and members of the community who have pitched in to help during the 40 day retreat! Virginia, Jerome, Regan, Zigang, Greg, my sisters Julie and Chris (and my Mom for one memorable afternoon!) – we literally couldn't have done it without you all! Thank you x 100,001!
They are taking care of us – you take care of each other and the world! ❤

Student's Research Project Leads to Special School Visit from Auschwitz Survivor
By Anna Brower, Staff Writer
The Stampede Newspaper, Clearfield Area Junior-Senior High School
Editor's Note: Anna Brower is a senior at Clearfield Area Junior-Senior High School, where she is a staff writer for the student newspaper, The Stampede. Contact her at email@example.com.
"I'm sitting here in front of you and I don't believe it myself; I made it." David Tuck, a survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp, shared these words on April 20 with the students and staff of Clearfield Area Junior-Senior High School during two assemblies held at the school.
This special guest was brought to the school by freshman Erica Hanes. For her freshman I-Search project about the Holocaust, Erica's mother contacted the Holocaust Awareness Museum in Philadelphia to retrieve materials for Erica's research.
Soon, she was put in contact with Tuck. The student project evolved into a visit to the school, where Tuck shared his own story about surviving Auschwitz and the Holocaust with students in seventh through twelfth grades.
Students are taught about the Holocaust beginning in middle school but sophomore Christen Wisor says, "I didn't know how bad (the Holocaust was) until he explained his story about going to the camp when he was so young."
As seniors, students read Night, Elie Wiesel's account of his time in a concentration camp. Senior Curtis Daub believes that the Holocaust is important to teach to high school students, seniors in particular, because they are getting ready to enter the "real world."
Erica Hanes thinks that the high school benefited in many ways from the opportunity to hear Tuck speak. She responded, "I personally think that if our students here at CHS listen to Tuck and his story, the level of respect that our students give to people will rise tremendously. I also think that it's going to encourage students to want to know more about what happened during World War II."
For Tuck, it was important to visit Clearfield because "people deny it (the Holocaust)." He encourages students saying, "Tell people. Tell them you met someone who lived through it."
Tuck wants students and adults alike to learn from the Holocaust to prevent it from ever happening again. In his presentation, he continually encouraged students to let bullies be bullies and to not make their problems your problems, saying "if somebody hurts you, walk away."
It is also especially important to have a visitor like Tuck because he has a past that not many people can say they have, Hanes says. Although Tuck lived through a horrific time period of world history, he does not dwell on it and is "proud to say he made it through the tough times," according to Hanes. Tuck himself says, "I made it; I will enjoy every day I have."
Tuck was born in Poland and shortly after his birth his mother passed away. He was raised by his Orthodox Jewish grandparents. On Sept. 1, 1939, things began to change as Germany invaded Poland.
By that winter he and his family were sent to Lodz ghetto and then in 1941, Tuck was sent to Posen labor camp in Poland. Two years later, he was sent to Auschwitz to work as a mechanic.
The camp was liberated by Americans on May 5, 1945 and in 1950, Tuck immigrated to the United States. Tuck began speaking to audiences when his daughter was in high school and he heard that people were denying the Holocaust ever happened.
"I'm happy I'm alive; it is the most important thing," Tuck said while speaking to Barb Simpson's advanced German classes at the school.
With all of the terror, both personal and worldwide, raging around us, we should all strive to live like Tuck, as he says, "I never forget… I don't live with hate; I don't want to give them the satisfaction."

We spend almost 90% of our time indoors, and 50% of our time inside our homes, according to the US EPA. Why not make your home safe, efficient, and comfortable? Investing in energy efficiency is better than most stock market investments. As utility prices rise, your efficiency return on investment grows.
"Radon, a radioactive naturally occurring gas, which is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking, exists at high levels in La Plata County," says Wendy Rice with CSU Extension, "No one knows how safe their home is until they do the test."
Over 80% of homes served by 4CORE have had significant health and safety issues. Energy professionals in our region have the necessary skills to detect safety problems that may be affecting you and your family.
Contact the CSU Extension Office of La Plata County to learn more about radon testing for your home.

KEENE, N.H. - A late comeback fell short as the Keene State College baseball team fell to Salve Regina University, 8-4, at Owl Athletic Complex on Thursday.
- Keene State: 8-15
- Salve Regina: 20-4
How It Happened
Keene State, playing at home for the first time this season, got two hits apiece from Connor Walsh, Nate Rossi, and John Tarascio. The Owls also used nine different pitchers. Michael Wasserman, Nate Pedersen, Brian Vieira, and Michael McDermott each tossed a scoreless inning. Brandon Heath (1-2) allowed a pair of runs and took the loss.
Dylan Ketch doubled in two runs to give Salve Regina a 2-0 lead in the third inning. Two walks and a hit batsman loaded the bases for the Seahawks in the sixth, and Hunter Sleeper hit into a fielder's choice to bring in another run. Riley Fusaro scampered home with another run while Sleeper was caught in a pickoff attempt.
A single run in the seventh and two more in the eighth expanded the lead to 7-0, but Keene State pulled three runs back in the bottom of the eighth. John Tarascio led off by beating out an infield single, and the throw was off line to allow him to reach second. After Nate Rossi was hit by a pitch, Mac Struthers singled to center to plate Tarascio.
Consecutive walks to Zach Rollins and Connor Longley forced in another run, and Walsh singled in another run with a hit through the left side. The bases remained loaded, but Salve Regina reliever Tommy Seaver struck out Christian Bourgea to end the threat.
Christian Vargas' sacrifice fly made it 8-3 in the ninth. Tarascio beat out another infield hit to open the bottom of the inning, and scored on Rossi's single to right center. Rossi moved to third on Tom Meucci's groundout, and took third on a wild pitch before Struthers struckout to end the game.
Around the Horn
- It was the second meeting between the schools this year, after the Seahawks took a 7-3 decision in Rhode Island on March 26.
- Walsh's RBI was his team leading 18th of the season. He also hit his team best seventh double.
- The later innings continue to be spark for the Owls' offense; KSC has outscored opponents by 11 runs (53-42) in the seventh, eighth, and ninth innings this year.
Up Next
- Keene State returns to Little East Conference play by welcoming Western Connecticut State University on Saturday at noon.
- Salve Regina is off until Monday, when the Seahawks head to Amherst College.

Iperf is a great little command line utility used to measure tcp and udp performance from one node to another. It can be a great help in finding bottlenecks in network performance, troubleshooting wifi issues and more. It's very simple to use, and is available in the EPEL repo for CentOS.
First we must have the EPEL repo available in yum, if it's not already on your system, install this RPM.
rpm -ivh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
Now we can install the package.
yum -y install iperf
We have two nodes, on one we run iperf as a server, and on the other we'll run iperf as a client with some arguments to connect to the server and run the tests.
iperf -s
You should see output that looks like this.
# iperf -s
Server listening on TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 85.3 KByte (default)
Notice it's running on port 5001, if you want to run it on an alternate port you would specify it with the -p flag.
iperf -s -p 6666
Basic test with defaults.
iperf -c ip.of.ser.ver
If alternate port was specified for the server, you must also do that on the client side.
iperf -c ip.of.ser.ver -p 6666
By default, iperf runs a test from the client to the server, if you wish to measure the bandwidth in both directions we will add the "-d" flag. Here is an example measuring bi-directional bandwidth against a server running on port 6666.
iperf -c ip.of.ser.ver -p 6666 -d
This test will perform multiple iterations of the test for a better picture of sustained bandwidth, and present the output in MBytes/sec instead of Mbits/sec.
iperf -c ip.of.ser.ver -fM -m -i5 -t25
Iperf is a great little command line utility, but for a nice GUI you can also checkout jperf.(Comments)

Saturday, March 2, 2013 Vendetta Pro Wrestling Presents "Shamrock Slam 2013"
Vendetta Pro Wrestling makes it's debut at the Santa Maria Fairpark with Shamrock Slam 2013! Featuring in the main event, the match that has stolen the show all over the USA for Exteme Rising, as well as all over Mexico: El Hijo de Rey Misterio vs. Bestia 666! Plus, the Vendetta Vixens will be in action as "Sin City Siren" Terra Calaway takes on blonde bombshell Amber O'Neal. Former WWE Diva and TNA Knockout Shelly Martinez (a.k.a. Ariel / Salinas) will be the special guest referee! The Unified Tag-Team Championships will be on the line as new titleholders The Suburban Commandos make their first defense since winning the titles at All Pro Wrestling back in December. They're no ordinary team, but this will be no ordinary match as they will take part in a Lucky Chance Tag-Team Gauntlet match where the luck of the draw will determine when each team enters. The Tri-Force title will be on the line as well, as new Champion Lil Cholo will defend against Vintage Dragon and "The Rock of Love" Billy Blade!
Two men who have spent a lot of time persuing the Tri-Force Championship in recent months will now go at it one-on-one. SoCal Crazy's less-than-successful bid at capturing the Tri-Force title did allow him to display a wide arsenal inside the ring, but the man he's going up against is no slouch in his own right. Former Vendetta Pro Heavyweight and two-time Tri-Force Champ Luxury is planning on using this as a tune-up for his upcoming shot at the Unified Tag-Team titles (which would make him Vendetta Pro's first Triple-Crown Champion), but he has to know that the former Southern California Heavyweight Champion isn't planning on lying down for him.
Drunk & Disorderly
The Suburban Commandos make their first defense of the Unified Tag-Team titles in Vendetta Pro Wrestling against… almost every team on the Vendetta Pro roster! Julian Cash & Kevin Divine will team up once again, known now as the Wyld Stallyns, this gnarly team has been presented with a most excellent opportunity–if they can survive. The smooth-stylin' team of J.J. Steele & Ricky Ruffin will be making their moves to take the gold. The new faction of Drunk & Disorderly also has a chance to make an immediate impact. While these guys hardly need a reason to party, they'd love to celebrate winning the Unified Tag titles. The Parental Discretion faction is looking to get back on track after suffering a loss to Creepshow at Reflexion/Open The Golden Gate, but can they buy or steal enough wins to leave as the new Champions? Meanwhile, Creepshow members J.D. Horror and Brawlin' Bo Cooper are entering for a chance to leave as champions, while perhaps also dealing one last fatal blow to Parental Discretion. Two former Tag-Team titleholders will also be involved, as SU/KA and The Ballard Brothers will enter the Gauntlet. SU/KA are looking to make things right by reclaiming the titles, while The Ballards are seeking to return to Canada with the titles that they feel are rightly theirs. The luck of the draw will determine what order the teams will enter. As Champions, The Suburban Commandos can draw no lower than six, meaning they will enter either sixth, seventh or last out of the eight teams. Two teams will start, and will continue until one or both teams are eliminated by pinfall, submission, countout or disqualification. The eliminated team(s) must then exit the ringside area, only to be replaced by the next team according to the draw. Is there gold at the end of the rainbow? You best believe it!
Damien Grundy
While Tawzer's buddies in Drunk & Disorderly challenge for the Tag-Team titles, he will be engaged in this clash of the titans. One look at Damien Grundy will tell you that he is a powerhouse. He benchpresses a remarkable 565 pounds! But not only can he use his strength to dish out punishment, his iron-like physique can withstand incredible amounts of punishment as well. That stated, while Clay Tawzer may be a fun-loving, wild-partying kind of guy, he is also one very tough country boy who holds an incredible NINE World Records in Powerlifting! What happens when the irresistible force meets the immovable object? Find out at Shamrock Slam!
Over the last year, Terra Calaway has changed her ways towards a more positive direction, and the fans have taken notice. The Sin City Siren is also coming off of a recent victory over Hudson Envy. Now, Calaway is looking to enter Vendetta Pro competition in 2013 the same way she left 2012. Standing in her path is Amber O'Neal. The blonde bombshell ring veteran is looking to bounce back from her recent defeat at the hands of Reby Sky. Former WWE Diva and TNA Knockout Shelly Martinez returns to Vendetta Pro once again as the special guest referee for this contest!
Vendetta Pro Wrestling Tri-Force Championship
Billy Blade -vs.- Vendetta Pro Tri-Force Champion Lil Cholo
Lil Cholo makes his first defense of the Tri-Force Championship at Shamrock Slam against two tough competitors. Vintage Dragon returns to Vendetta Pro, looking to capture his first Championship title in the form of the Tri-Force Championship Billy Blade picked up a win at Reflexion/Open The Golden Gate over former Tri-Force Champ Famous B. It almost seems odd that, while Blade has always been among the top contenders in Vendetta Pro, that he's never actually held a title. At Shamrock Slam, he looks to change that.
Main Event Lucha Libre Legacy Match
-vs.- El Hijo de Rey Misterio Two men, from two Lucha Libre families, who have had show-stealing matches all over the United States and Mexico will go at it in this, the main event! Bestia 666, son of former XPW Tag-Team titleholder, Mexican National Welterweight titleholder and WCW Superstar Damian 666, will make his Vendetta Pro Wrestling debut. His opponent is a man who comes from a lineage not only in Lucha Libre, but in WCW, WWE and even right here in Vendetta Pro! He carries with him the legacy of the Misterio name which includes Rey Misterio (Sr.), Rey Misterio Jr. (WWE's Rey Mysterio) and the original Hijo de Rey Misterio (former Vendetta Pro Heavyweight Champion). Expect the unexpected in this match!

About the band
Dedicated to self-penned, honest, rootsy tunes, the music from the Diner touches base with Country, Americana, Folk and Pop traditions yet the presentation and lyrical content draws inspiration from everyday life through wondrous tales of love, loss, friendship and tigers!
Circe's Diner's tracks have been taken to live radio performances, airplay with BBC Introducing, live video favourites with Balcony TV and Sofar Sounds, film sync (High Tide. 2015) and many performances across the UK and Europe including Glastonbury Festival, Ronnie Scott's and performing to the Great British Bakeoff's family in the final.
With their sound constantly developing whilst maintaining a humanity often lost in contemporary music, their songs (and their friendship) have touched the hearts of many.
Twisted with the bittersweet, Circe's Diner blend catchy hooks, infections melodies and dreamy harmonies in a unique way that voices strength, whilst baring one's deepest vulnerabilities.
These acoustic alchemists will take you on most intoxicating journey that will leave you feeling thoroughly charmed!
" Their mesmerising harmonies are equally unafraid, pairing Buck's ethereal rasp (which takes the lead) with Shande's bolder voice to provide a captivating reminder of just how powerful intertwining vocals can be. Perhaps most interesting of all is their tantalising timing, flittering and weaving around the melody and never quite falling into the usual rhythms. It's what makes Circe's Diner so addictive and such an interesting proposition."
– Songwriting Magazine
" Flowing with lilting, folk-inspired melodies alongside the duo's smooth, honey-sweet vocals that soar together in perfect harmony. Oozing a twinkling charm, Circe's Diner offer a little slice of sunshine that we need now more than ever."
– GigSlutz
" Rosina Buck's sweet, husky tone and Bronte Shande's warm, colourful vocal blend together effortlessly, immediately filling you with an undeniable sense of joy. Their minimalist style and mesmerizing harmonies are simply all you need for a soft, intricate hug of a song."
– The Vinyl District
"The band play a brand of upbeat and celebratory folk that's easy on the ears and warming to the heart"
– Brighton's Finest
"This EP will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside on this cold wintery season"
– Flux
"You can expect an exuberant performance and something really quite different from a highly creative young tour de force on the rise"
– Gloucestershire Echo
"The October EP is an enjoyable 30 minutes of music with some good songwriting and strong vocals. The melodic pop feel takes it away from pure folk and to a wider audience"
– Glasswerk
"In three words? Quirky. Folk. Glamour. Vocalist Bronte Shande's jazzy-folk tones perfectly complement the vintage coo of alternate lead Rosina Buck above the wondrous arrangements"
– HiddenHerd
"The room was put under a spell by the captivating harmonies and irresistible hooks. The charming lyrics and folky melodies create a soul-warming feeling that is impossible not to fall in love with"
– The University Paper
"From watching them perform live, you can tell that they have poured everything they have into their music and really believe in what they do."
– The University Paper
