Government Model RFx Templates
|Read the update on Government Model Template Review and health and safety changes before using the templates.
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) has launched a set of templates for tenders called the Government Model RFx templates (GM-RFx). RFx is a generic acronym used to cover an assortment of tender types such as Request for Proposal (RFP) and Request for Quote (RFQ).

What GM-RFx offer
Traditionally, each government agency develops its own templates and conditions of tender, but this can be confusing for suppliers and providers. It also makes it more difficult for them to work with government. The GM-RFx is a suite of standardised templates designed for use across all government agencies.
The GM-RFx aim to provide:
- practical, easy to navigate, plain English templates for routine types of procurements
- consistent documentation across government
- standardised use of language
- templates that are easily understood by non-lawyers
- standard treatment of legal risk
- conditions that promote a fairer balance of risk between the parties
- improved efficiencies and effectiveness
- greater transparency in government procurement.
Tailoring the GM-RFx
The GM-RFx are designed for use across all government agencies. Each agency is invited to download these templates and customise them. Customisation can involve:
- applying the government agency's name and branding
- developing any required variations to the standard process, terms and conditions
- setting rules about their use (e.g. no variation of the conditions of tender without approval of the legal team)
- deciding when the templates will be used (e.g. applying value thresholds)
- developing instructions for internal users
- providing training for internal users
- notifying your key suppliers and providers of the change to the new documents.
Individuals, working for a government agency, who wish to use the above templates should check first with their internal procurement or legal team. It is not recommended that individuals download the above documents without seeking advice from these teams.

IntroductionThese guidelines are intended as a checklist which is detailed enough to be of service for specialized literature exhibitions as well as for general philatelic exhibitions in which literature is only one of several classes.
General PrinciplesWhile the majority of the principles in exhibiting philatelic literature is identical to those which apply to other philatelic classes as well, there are certain distinct differences.
In the first place, the significance and importance of a piece of literature cannot be seen from the outside. Literature must be judged by its content, and obviously the judges have to be familiar with that content before the start of the exhibition. While the three to five days available for judging will allow time for review and some reading, it in no way suffices for each judge to read each entry thoroughly.
Second, literature exhibits cannot be taken apart and improved from one show to the next. In many cases, the exhibit represents a lifetime of research and effort which will serve philately for years to come. For this reason, the exhibiting of philatelic literature must be looked at primarily as a means of encouraging and promoting such literary efforts, and only secondarily as a competition for various levels of awards.
Third, it follows that the public must be able to examine the literature. A glance at a row of books in a locked case gives little information, and is a disservice to the viewer and the exhibitor. It is the content that is of interest, not the covers.
The F.I.P. has developed a comprehensive set of regulations for evaluating philatelic exhibits, incorporating those F.I.P. principles common to all competitive classes. For philatelic literature, these principles are expressed in the Special Regulations for the Evaluation of Philatelic Literature Exhibits at F.I.P. Exhibitions. They are supplemented by provisions which recognize aspects of philatelic literature which are unique to this class, the Supplementary Rules for the Philatelic Literature Class in F.I.P. Exhibitions.
The two documents, taken as a whole, constitute the requirements for exhibiting and judging philatelic literature at F.I.P. exhibitions.
Use of the Evaluation SystemThe use of a point system, together with appropriate "scoring sheets", can be helpful in reaching balanced and rational evaluations. However, it must be emphasized that such a system cannot be applied mechanically; the final point totals also must be looked at in terms of the overall quality of the exhibits.
It may be helpful at this point to give some concrete examples of the use of the scoring system. These examples are not taken from actual jury results; they are, however, representative of the evaluations reached during jury deliberations.
1. The Postal History of the Forwarding Agents, by Ken Rowe, published 1984 by L. Hartmann:
2. Eesti Filatelist / The Estonian Philatelist / Der Estnische Philatelist, No. 30 (1984).
Annual publication of the Society of Estonian Philatelists in Sweden and the Estonian Philatelic Society in New York. Edited by Elmar Ojaste. 288 pages.
Please note that the comments above are meant to suggest the mental process used in reaching a "numerical" evaluation. Two aspects of that thought process are worth stressing.
First, judges should look first for the positive aspects of the exhibits, rather than merely looking to see "how many points can I take off".
Second, all evaluations have to be made on a comparative basis with respect to what else has been published on that subject, how well similar matters are handled in other publications, even such questions as how significant a given publication may be for one country or language group as compared with others. These comparative factors can all change from one year or one exhibition to another, and it's conceivable that such changes may affect the evaluation of an exhibit.

Pump Your Brakes
One of the hardest parts of becoming an adult onset athlete is learning when to back off. We have become so ingrained to sit on our asses for years upon years, that when we do find the energy, the willpower, the need, to get up and start moving, the very thought of sitting back on that couch is anxiety producing. It scares us. This is a hard thing to explain to those who have never been on the "other side", who have always been active. Taking a day off to them seems easy, and welcomed. When I have a recovery day on the schedule, especially on a weekend day like Saturday, I spend the whole day fidgety. The mere act of sitting still, relaxing, taking it easy is enough to throw me into a panic attack. I get images of scales going past the 300 pound mark again. Images of not being able to get up that hill the next day. Just sitting here typing this right now is making me antsy.
I will find reasons to prove my point as well, even if some are concocted.
"Took a day off did you? Well, you gained .6 pounds because of that, fella! Get your fat ass back on the road!!"
Our inner voices can be very insensitive at these times.
And we listen to these voices.
It never goes away.
We can look at pictures of us before and now, and see … SEE … the difference and yet it makes no difference to us in our heads. A day off is giving in to the monster, the 300 pounds beast inside me that wants, so badly, to win … at all costs.
So … when I struggled through 2014 with injury after injury, along with new and exciting medical issues erupting, and with it some MORE meds to take, I was at my wit's end. I was not sure in December if I actually cared enough anymore to keep going. I was having a crisis of faith, in a way, and was about to give in to Rick (my inner voice has a name) and let the fat guy back out. I went from a low of 238 pounds in January 2014 back to almost 270 a few weeks ago. Rick was back. And He was angry.
I needed help and sought it out.
The first thing I need to get a grip on was my health and injuries. Normal, and I say normal in the most positive way, coaches spend time on your workouts and training plans. I needed more. I needed someone to look at what I could do, what I have done, and what I can do, and try to help me (I say "try" because I am very hard-headed at times) work through it in a logical manner. This is how I found Meghan Fanning at Zendurance Now. I had "met" Meghan through a few online groups I was part of, so when I was rambling on about what my issues were, and she started chiming in, I asked her onto the podcast to discuss injury management. Once talking to her with Andrew on the show I felt like she understood the issues I was having (as well as Jennifer) so I contacted her about coaching us, and she agreed. Meghan is up North, so the coaching is via email and weekly Skype sessions, but what I am like about her is that she tells you what she thinks, point-blank, but not to the point that she'll tell you not to do something if you really want to do it. An example is the Disney Marathon. We knew we weren't ready, she knew it was probably a mistake, but she gave us some pointers and told us to just take the race as it comes and don't be afraid to pull off if we have to. The next example if the upcoming Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon in DC. On our call last night I can tell she is not a fan of us doing this, but as I explained to her that we would be taking it very easy and that we have cleared our race schedules of anything after that until May (goodbye St. Anthony's) she was more agreeable. And that is what makes her a good coach. She may not like or agree with something, but she listens and attempts to work around the issue without getting us killed.
So, the body was taken care of, but that's the easy part isn't it. The mind is the hard part, because I have spent 51 years screwing my head up as much as possible without actually tipping over to insanity. I have been told a few times, and once very recently, that one of my strengths is my willingness to look inward and mess with my inner doctrines. This is not something most people can do, especially men, or so I am being told. I find it interesting to be honest, which is why my undergraduate degree is in psychology. I find the way people think fascinating, but it's easy to look at others and find their … not faults I think … wrong word … find their roadblocks. Each of us has the capability to be great. It is there. The hard part is unlocking the barriers that prevent us from becoming great. This is where Tara Newman of Family Sport Life comes in. I met Tara through the same channels as Meghan, and once again, my first conversation with her was on the podcast. Twice in fact. As of this writing Tara is the only person that has appeared on both the old podcast (Ironman: Year One) and the new one (Back of Pack Endurance), and if I have my way she will be on many more times. Tara has always had a way of talking to me that struck a chord. She would see me posting about my struggles and would send me a terse "why Ironman John??", which I hated because I never had an answer, and "because" was not sufficient. She made me think, which I like to do (shocking I know), so when she posted that she was starting to offer her services one-on-one and in group settings, I was in … all in. And I have not been proven wrong. the group is small, which I like, and has shown to be very supportive and insightful. It has mad me think about where I have been and where I want to go in a no-nonsense manner. The video meetings every other week have pulled me out of my comfort zone, which is an ongoing problem with me. I have no issue expounding on my "feelings" or "thoughts" in writing, or even on the podcast when it is just my voice, but being "seen" is a different issue. I am very self-conscious about how I look. I am not comfortable in my own skin, so being on camera AND expounding on what I am thinking and feeling is not normal for me. The supportive nature of the group has made me feel comfortable in doing it, though it has only been once (until tomorrow night).
So, with the help of Meghan and Tara, and Jennifer, Andrew, Kristine Cox, Dave Baldwin, and a myriad of others, I am starting to pump the brakes a bit and assessing not only where I am, but where I am going and what is the nest way to navigate to the destination. I wish I had met these guys when I was in my 20's and not my 50's.
If you are struggling, I whole-heartedly recommend seeking out a coach, whether it be a fitness coach or a life coach. Do your due diligence and find one that matches your personality or fills a need you have in your life. I joke a lot about how Tara asks me these blunt questions like "well, when you finish an Ironman, do you expect to be different?" … reminds me of something my grandfather would have said. My grandfather was my first "life coach". He had his faults, as do we all, but he had this old world Italian way of looking at things that cut through the bullshit and hit the nail on the head. I have striven, in my life, to be like he was, at least in that manner. He has been gone for almost 25 years now and I have been missing that person in my life ever since. So after struggling for that long with no one, I am starting, at this advanced stage, to fill that void with Tara, and Meghan, and Jennifer, and Kristine, and Kate … the added bonus is that they are all much easier on the eyes.
Sorry Pop ….

The Difference Between Authentic Replica Louis Vuitton
Browse Articles Videos By CategoryFood DrinkHobbies, Games ToysAuthentic Louis Vuitton is typically made from a damier or monogram canvas. Handbags and shoes use an oxidizing natural leather that can fade to a lighter golden color over time or if left in direct sunlight for long periods. Replica merchandise is often made from cheaper leathers, which are more likely to have blemishes and imperfections on the surface. In addition, a replica can be detected by the quality of its fastenings. Real Louis Vuitton will use brass and gold, with the monogram imprinted on the zipp tommy hilfiger uk ers, whereas imitations will likely be missing these minor touches.One of the telltale signs of counterfeit handbags is in the lack of attention to the interior. Genuine Louis Vuitton will most likely have a distinct design inside the bag, such as a col tommy hilfiger uk ored canvas lining, a monogram printing or textured leather. Replica models show less care to the interior and ar tommy hilfiger uk e made of low cost materials such as plastic or suede. Accordingly the stitching on the inside and outside will be of a low tommy hilfiger uk standard on imitation models compared with the thin, accurate threading of real Louis Vuitton bags.

Do you that "A&P" focuses on the feelings of loneliness and isolation that lead Sammy to seek some form of higher truth or ultimate meaning?
- print Print
- list Cite
I think this is definitely true to a certain extent. There is a real sense in which Sammy is presented as a young man who is profoundly alienated against society and the people that he serves as part of his job. We need only look at the way in which he describes the people that he interacts with to see this in action. The first customer that he describes as the girl enters he describes as being "a witch about fifty" and a "cash-register-watcher." Note how he describes the scene as the girls in their bathing costumes walk down the aisles:
The sheep pushing their carts down the aisle--the girls were walking against the usual traffic (not that we have one-way signs or anything)--were pretty hilarious... I bet you could set off dynamite in an A & P and the people would by and large keep reaching and checking oatmeal off their lists...
He refers to customers as "sheep" and talks about the "one-way" system in the shop to show how he thinks of society as being a set of rules that instills conformity and oppression rather than freedom and liberation. Sheep are of course notorious for following each other around and not being able to assert themselves. This is supported by his reference to housewives as "houseslaves" as if to confirm his view of society as something that compels slavish obedience in its adherents. These are ways in which Sammy is presented as being a young man who is disenchanted with society and profoundly isolated and unable to connect with those around him.

How do you simulate time in z/OS with time dimensional testing–especially if you want to ensure the accuracy of time-sensitive applications?
One way is to use IBM® HourGlass, a leading z/OS® clock simulator for testing mainframe applications. The features and flexibility of HourGlass promote more accurate and reliable application testing. The software offers the ability to coordinate full functionality across time zones. HourGlass can simulate past, present, or future dates and times without changing application code or computing environments.
HourGlass time dimensional testing capabilities allows you to alter the Date/Time returned to a z/OS application when a time request is made (SVC 11, PC Time Requests, or MVS STCKSYNC) by specifying patterns or specific applications, transactions, users, and address space names.
Some of the benefits of IBM HourGlass include the ability to:
Simulate date and time processing to step up the thoroughness of your application testing efforts.
Coordinate reporting and data transfer between San Francisco, Chicago, and New York—across cities, across time zones.
Alter the Date/Time returned to a z/OS application
- Utilize time dimensional testing for more reliable application development.
- Initiate accurate date handling for online transaction processing to support banking, financial, healthcare, inventory management, insurance, utility and other customer-facing applications.
- Take advantage of CICS® Transaction Server in support of time-dimensional testing in IBM CICS Open Transaction Environment (OTE).
- Use the HourGlass CICS Batch Time Management process to set the HourGlass date/time for a CICS region.
Simulate date and time processing
- Run tests simultaneously using a different system date.
- Maintain each user's view of the system date without affecting other users.
- Set the IMS IOPCB date and time fields to any requested date and time without having to re-link the application.
- Test time-sensitive applications to avoid costly risks to the outcome.
Coordinate reporting and data transfers
- Allows CICS users to set the EIBDATE field.
- Extends accurate time and date functionality regardless of time zone.
- Identifies applications that request the system date and time, helping to resolve potential problems before they occur.
To learn more about IBM® HourGlass software, visit IBM on the web.

Question: Can you use nail polish to repair little nicks or dings to your car's paint?
Answer: Yes!! Surprised?
I do it all the time, in fact! The trick, of course, is getting your wife to buy the right nail polish color that matches your car. "Yes honey, I love when you paint your nails the fungus green that matches my truck…"
Does it really work? I've found that the components in nail polish are actually just as good and long-lasting as the paint that's specialized for cars. Nail polish seals up dings so that you don't get any growing rust problems. I've fixed dings on my wife's car as well as my truck with nail polish and after several years, the paint has held up very nicely.
How do you do it? Easy.
- You'll want to first clean in and around the ding on your car so that there's no road grime in there. You don't want the nail polish to seal in grime, which will end up deteriorating your car underneath the polish, where you can't see.
- Do as good a job as you can at matching a nail polish color to your car's color (duh).
- Put on one coat of the polish and let it dry completely. One coat should be enough, unless you can see through it, in which case you'll need to put on a second coat.
Once that first coat is dry, top it off with a clear nail polish. This is extra protective and is a good finish. The clear polish you use should be what the ladies call a "top coat." Don't get any of that "nutritive base coat" or "clear nail growing polish" or whatever else. You just want a plain, clear "top coat" to put on top of your color.
- Let that top coat dry and you're ready to hit the road again. But not literally, because seriously dude, stop dinging your car.
Do you have questions about contractors, construction projects, renovations, basic home or car maintenance, or other blue collar stuff? Ask in the comments below and I may answer your question in my next article!

The new Keynesian approach to monetary policy analysis: Lessons and new directions
I discuss several lessons regarding the design and conduct of monetary policy that have emerged out of the New Keynesian research program. Those lessons include the bene.ts of price stability, the gains from commitment about future policies, the importance of nat- ural variables as benchmarks for policy, and the bene.ts of a credible anti-inflationary stance. I also point to one challenge facing NK modelling efforts: the need to come up with relevant sources of policy tradeoffs. A potentially useful approach to meeting that challenge, based on the introduction of real imperfections, is presented.

Mgahinga Gorilla National Park
Travel to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park – Virunga Mountains of Uganda
Located in the far southwestern corner of Uganda, Mgahinga Gorilla National Park is the smallest park in Uganda with an area of only 34 sq. km. This park makes up the Ugandan part of the Virunga Conservation Area which spans three countries: Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Each country has established National Parks to protect the tropical rainforest watersheds and wildlife of the Virunga region. As its name suggests, Mgahinga is a another refuge in Uganda for the mountain gorilla. Gorilla tracking (on the slopes of the Virunga Mountains) is possible in this scenic park.
Virguna is a Kinyarwanda word which means 'boiling pots' and references the mountains' volcanic origins. At least one volcano in the range is active – last erupting in 2001 – and which contributes to the unique nature of the mountain range. Mgahinga Gorilla National Park boasts three extinct volcanoes: Mount Muhavura (4,127m), Mount Gahinga (3,475m) and Mount Sabyinyo (3,645m). Gahinga is the lowest of these mountains and has lent its name to the park.
The vegetation of Mgahinga is typically afro-montane, with a forest belt, a bamboo zone, an ericaceous belt and an alpine zone. Many local herbs grow in the park, including a giant relative of the herb St. John's Wort that grows in the form of a tree.
The park supports 39 recorded mammal species, although it is believed there may be another 50 species unrecorded. Of the larger mammals Mgahinga boasts are the mountain gorilla, buffalo and elephant. The endangered golden monkey, a subspecies of the blue monkey also finds its home in this region. Leopard and several other cat species can also be found here.
Recordings of 294 bird species have been made in the Virunga region, among which are the handsome Francolin, the Rwenzori Touraco and the Side-breasted Tit. Twenty of these species are endemic to the Albertine Rift Valley.
The rugged mountainous terrain makes gorilla trekking strenuous work and visitors should be prepared for up to 8 hours of hiking (good physical condition is a must). No-one with any sign of communicable disease will be allowed to trek. The habituated gorilla family in Mgahinga is called the Nyakagezi group and consists of approximately 15 members. Access to gorilla permits for trekking in Mgahinga are not as reliable as in Bwindi given the tendency of the gorillas to move across the borders of Rwanda and DRC. They are usually resident in Uganda during the months of April, May, June, October, November and December.
Mgahinga also offers the challenge of a days hike to the summit of Mount Muhavura (translated to 'The Guide'); the highest point in the park. Magnificent views of the other Virunga volcanoes, Lake Edward in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi and the Rwenzori Mountain peaks can be seen from its summit where a crater lake is also found. The hike takes approximately 8 hours round trip and covers 12 km.
Less strenuous hikes are available to the top of Mount Gahinga or to the breathtaking Sabyinyo Gorge. Golden monkey walks, a historic Batwa cave, village walk through the Batwa area along the edge of the park and a unique swamp walk are all interesting activities for those who have extra time to spend in the area.
Relax at Mount Gahinga Lodge which lies nestled in the foothills of the dramatic Virunga volcanoes, on the border or Uganda, Rwanda and the DRC.
Mgahinga is approx. 510 km from Kampala (8-10 hours drive). Kisoro is the nearest town to Mgahinga. From Kabale to Kisoro is around 80 km on unpaved roads (2-3 hours). From Kisoro to the park gate at Ntebeko is 13 km (3 hours walk or 1 hours drive). The road is generally in poor condition and 4WD is recommended. Hiring private transport with knowledgeable driver/guide provides the most reliable and flexible transport to Mgahinga.
- For those that make the effort – take a trek and savour one of life's most memorable experiences with a sighting of mountain gorillas in the wild
- Grab your binoculars and search for the brilliantly-coloured Rwenzori turaco – one of Mgahinga's more spectacular birds, found in montane forest
- Pull on your hiking boots, hire a guide, and set out on foot in breathtaking volcanic scenery on one of several varied hiking trails – you may even be tempted by Mt. Muhavura and its clear water crater lake!

With the economy being a bit off whack I know a lot are pinching pennies to make ends meet. However, we can still make Father's Day special for the wonderful dads in our life. All it takes is a bit of a crafty hand. What you do not have a crafty hand? Of course you do, you just don't know it yet. :) Below you will find some great fathers day craft ideas that will not break the bank to make, and will get a smile on dads face.
Hand Print T-Shirt
One great craft idea the kids can do that will not cost a ton is making dad a t-shirt. All you need is some fabric paints which can be purchased at Wal-Mart and a plain t-shirt. You can make this a few different ways, one way is let the kids all put their hand in the the fabric paint, then touch the back of dads shirt. Then you can come up with something to put on the front. Such as, "My kids all pat me on the back." or some sort of saying that will remind dad that he is special. The kids will have a blast making dad a special shirt as well.
Rock Paper Weight
Take the kids out on a rock hunt. Sing a silly song while hunting for the most perfect rock. Once you find this perfect rock take it in and wash all the dirt off. Once he rocks dry let the kids paint them to look pretty. Then dad can take it to work and use it as a paper weight. When dad gets to missing the kids all he will have to do is look at his paper weight and he is for sure to smile.
Handmade Fathers Day Card
Get out the scissors, construction paper, glue and extra pictures you have. Let the kids get crafty with the construction papers, and make daddy the best card ever.
One thing I have learned as being a parent, is some of the best gifts a parent can ever get are the ones their kids made themselves. I remember the first every Mothers Day card I got. My daughter was 9 months old and my husband got out the paper and the scrap-booking scissors and made me my first every mothers day card. Yes my baby girl was only 9 months old, but she loved the one on one with daddy and making something special for momma.

The dishcloth holder by Bosign is a functional and stylish holder for your dishcloth. The holder is designed with a movable arm and is easy to attach to the sink with a strong suction cup. The design of the holder enables discreet, hidden and hygienic storing of the dishcloth. For storing you just hang it over the arm, which then is pushed against the sink wall. By holding the dishcloth away from the faucet, the risk for transporting bacteria from the cloth to the drinking water is reduced. By storing the cloth on a holder rather than letting it lie in the sink, you also avoid the risk of collecting bacteria in the cloth as well as avoiding bad odor.


text: Blog 2011 June Police Not Pursuing Battery Charges against Dennis Rodman for Allegedly Shoving a Bar Patron Previous Post | Next Post Police Not Pursuing Battery Charges against Dennis Rodman for Allegedly Shoving a Bar Patron Posted By Phil Brown || 24-Jun-2011 An Ohio man filed a police report claiming that Dennis Rodman committed a battery against him in a local bar. The patron claimed that he approached Rodman and was joking around with him. The man asked Rodman what he was doing in town and whether he was there to "check up on LeBron." He said that Rodman flipped out and pushed him. Police are not pursuing a criminal case, citing lack of evidence. In Nevada, Battery is considered a violent crime and defined as: "any willful and unlawful use of force or violence upon the person of another." NRS 200.481. A standard battery charge is a misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to six (6) months in jail and a $1,000.00 fine. Battery charges can be made more serious if the battery is on a protected person such as a romantic partner, family member, police officer, school employee, taxi driver or health care provider. The seriousness of a battery charge can also be elevated if the battery is committed by strangulation or with a deadly weapon, or if it results in substantial bodily harm. In some cases, a conviction for Battery can also form the basis for a civil lawsuit for money damages for personal injury and mental suffering arising from the offense. If you or someone you know has been charged with any form of Battery, it is important that you contact a Las Vegas criminal defense attorney right away. Our criminal defense firm can assist you in analyzing the facts of your case and identifying appropriate defenses. The Las Vegas Criminal Defense Attorney can help you by developing the most aggressive trial strategy possible to protect your freedom and your financial interest.

The world's most amazing waterfalls
There is something quite special about witnessing gallons of water plummeting over a ledge into the depths below. With so many beautiful waterfalls in the world, you could probably spend a whole year wandering the globe visiting them. So, to make sure you don't miss the best ones, we have compiled a list!
Iguazu Falls
Located in Argentina, this incredible water feature spans a width of two miles.
This powerful waterfall in Norway cascades down over beautiful rock. You can even view the incredible scene from the comfort of your car.
Cuquenan Falls
If you are after the wow factor and not so much the amount of water, then Cuquenan Falls in Venezuela is for you. It drops for about 2,000 feet and is the second tallest in the country.
Ouzoud Waterfall
Ouzound Waterfall is located in the mountains of Morocco and is surrounded by gorgeous scenery including an abundance of olive trees. The water falls over beautiful red rock and is picture perfect.
Niagra Falls
Of course, this one has to feature in the list. It is just right on the border of America and Canada and is a huge expanse of amazing views. If you're ever in Canada, make sure to pop by.
Powerscourt Waterfall
We could not complete the list without mentioning one of Ireland's most beautiful waterfall. If you have never been, it is time to head to Wicklow. It will be worth it, especially in the summer.
Top l – r: Iguazu Falls, Langfossen, Cuquenan Falls
Bottom l – r: Ouzoud Waterfall, Niagra Falls, Powerscourt Waterfall


text: Many factors will determine how long a car battery will last, including the number of starting cycles per day (the fewer the better), and the outside temperature. The average life span of a car battery is 3 to 5 years. Many short trips with an average run time of less than 20 minutes will not allow the alternator enough of an opportunity to recharge it fully, shortening the life span.

I just wanted to say that I really loved how my session went. I had a lot of fun and many people complimented the backgrounds. They thought they were most original. The one thing that stands out in my mind is the one-on-one attention that I got. I liked the idea of not having to wait in line for someone else to get done with their pictures. I enjoyed the variety of poses and how you showed how to do them just right. Thanks again for a wonderful session.
Kate Seidowski
Both of my sons liked the fact that they had a say regarding backgrounds and props which allowed their personalities to shine through!!
Karla Williams
You do things different from other studios. You made my daughter's senior pictures very special!
Veronica Kelly
Thanks so much for making Nick's session so easy today. I'm anxious to see the proofs, but not looking forward to having to pick between them – I'm sure they'll look great. Nick had fun even though he was pretty nervous before you started taking the photographs. We've told a couple of people already about the nice experience we had. Hope they take our advice and come to see you! Thanks again.
Mary Mariotti
My portrait experience at SpectraLight was extremely positive. I had never really had professional pictures taken before but once we started the photo shoot, I was completely comfortable and it turned out to be a LOT of fun!!!!
Mr. Madere was great with everything. He helped a lot with choosing poses that he knew would look good and outfits that really made the pictures look great! With a variety of different backdrops and props to choose from, every picture was unique and had its own "personality." I really liked the fact that outdoor shots could also be taken on the premises.
Everything was convenient and the time I spent there flew by. There was no rushing between shots and I always had as much time as I wanted to touch up my hair and make-up in between pictures.
I wore a variety of outfits to wear from formal dresses to my sports uniforms and I even used a lot of my own props in my pictures.
The environment was comfortable, the options were great, and Mr. Madere really did a great job with everything. Another interesting experience I had with SpectraLight was the opportunity to go to the beach where we did some really fun poses.
Mr. Madere did a great job on the shoot and made the entire thing very comfortable and enjoyable for me. Again, thanks for everything!!!!!!!!!! 🙂

bethb's Diaryland Diary
I didn't get it until I got it.
On Saturday I was at Eastern Market, it was hot, I was discouraged (sales at the market have been in the toilet lately and the weather is not helping with wind and rain). I pull my car up to load and Pete, who helps people hustle their stuff in and out of their cars, says 'You're going to have to wait a minute. Bill Clinton is in front of your tent'.
And then it happened. I got weirdly emotional. I have seen the film of women crying over the assassination of Kennedy and thought "why are they crying for him? it's not like they know him" but right then I totally got it. I began to tear up remembering the first time I cast a ballot for president. In 1992. I was in college, some road show had rolled into Fisher Auditorium and I was working as crew and had used my lunch break to head across campus to cast my vote.

You can view a hero's Affinity by going into the Heropedia and selecting a hero. On the right side of the hero interface, you will see a list of available Affinities and detailed information for each.
For example, in the screenshot above we see that the hero "Medusa" has an Affinity called "Martial Dating" when paired with Master Pan. When these 2 heroes are deployed together, she will receive a bonus +18% to HP. Below you can see the same Affinity listed for Master Pan. Different Affinities provide different properties boosts so players should choose which can benefit their hero the most.


text: TORPEDO Tuesday, 07/26/11 08:48:21 PM Re: XenaLives post# 2248 Post # of 2349 Don't really care about the orthodox mindset. Rely on the codified Word of God. I've heard these tales of Zoroastrianism before. Zoroastrianism is just another religion that spun off from the original religion given of Adam, reaffirmed to Moshe, etc. Tales akin to citing brown water as the source of crystal clear water [after brown dye was added]. As for pre-exile Judaism having a more tolerant perspective, follow the thread of Ha Satan through and see what his determined end will be. Notice, he [Satan] was not included in the group of "ben ha-elohim" (sons of God) in Job 1:6, but instead he [Satan] came in among them. Accordingly, he [Satan] was already an outsider BEFORE he [Satan] incited God to ruin Job without reason (Job 2:3). Also, he was so named (Ha Satan = accuser) BEFORE inciting God to ruin Job without reason. A word study on Hell and related words through from Tenach through Brit Chadasha is telling. Yahshua spoke of Hell more than any other individual in the Bible. You can't pick and choose which of His saying's you'll follow. Doing so destroys credibility. It's all or nothing.

We are working to promote information technology programs at various college and university campuses across California. We strive to form strategic partnerships between universities, industry solution providers and non-profit organizations to encourage students that are interested in the information technology industry.
One area that can really benefit from collaboration with IT companies and non-profits is the IT programs that the universities offer. IT professionals can help universities improve their IT programs by providing their expertise that they've gained through work experience. The IT industry is constantly changing and seasoned IT professionals could definitely help when it comes to determining what topics students will cover during their education. This will improve the quality of IT education and will improve the proficiency of students that are just entering the workforce.

Last night, I went to see my first Nylons concert in over 25 years. Although I've loved the band all those years, I've hadn't had the opportunity to see them live in all that time. My time finally came, and it was well worth the wait.
This was a very different band from the first time I saw them, Micah Barnes is gone, Billy Newton-Davis is gone, unfortunately, Marc Connors, Paul Cooper and Arnold Robinson are no longer with us. Instead, Gavin Hope (baritone), Garth Mosbaugh (tenor & alto), and Tyrone Gabriel (baritone & bass) joined Claude Morrison (tenor), the only remaining original member, on the Milton stage.
I wasn't expecting a concert that was as good as the clips I'd seen on YouTube and, indeed, good as the concert I saw in Hamilton almost 25 years ago. However, I am pleased to say that they exceeded my expectations by a wide margin. The new singers, if you can call them new after more than 20 years, were exceptional. Not only were they very talented singers, but comfortable performers as well.
In the old days of the Nylons, we would have expected more dancing, more doo-wop and less chatter. But this was a more subdued, intimate, and personal performance. What was in evidence this night, was pure vocals. In fact, it is safe to say that overall, this is a better group of singers than the "classic" nylons lineup. As the original members left the band, they seemed to be able to select from a larger group of singers encompassing a wider vocal range.
The lack of stand up performing, (see photo above) was likely due to two injuries in the band. Elder statesman, Claude, seemed to be nursing a lower body injury, while newcomer Tyrone recently had undisclosed health issues that lead to the postponement of a number of previous performances.
Still, those minor setbacks didn't stop these men from delivering a performance that thrilled a sell-out Milton, Ontario crowd. They deftly mixed many old classics, Silhouettes, Up the Ladder to the Roof, Dream, among others with newer selections from their most recent album, Skin Tight. Personally, I'm a great fan of the late Marc Connors, I happen to think that he was the greatest singer that Canada has ever produced, but through most of the concert, I didn't miss him. This is a testament to the talent of this lineup.
There are no individuals in The Nylons, as there might have been during the Micah Barnes, and Billy Newton-Davis days. This group harmonized and charmed the audience into a comfort that, combined with the intimate venue, many would agree is a fitting send off from one of Canada's great artists.

Daily briefs of the top news stories impacting Christians around the world.
In today's edition:
- Christians, Atheists to Debate the Existence of God
- Resolution Calls for More SBC Churches to Start Christian Schools
- 'God' Removed From Classroom by San Diego School District
- New Full-Color Student Bible Directs the Visual Generation towards Spiritual Success
Christians, Atheists to Debate the Existence of God
CNSNews.com reports that two Christian evangelists and two atheist activists are squaring off in a 90-minute debate about whether God really exists - in a program to be shown on the ABC News website Wednesday afternoon. An abbreviated version will be broadcast during the evening edition of "Nightline." "We are very grateful to ABC for taking this courageous step," said Ray Comfort of the "Way of the Master" ministry. The debate was recorded before a live audience in New York City on Saturday. "As far as we know, nothing like this has ever been done before." Comfort claims he can prove the existence of God, scientifically, without mentioning faith or the Bible. Comfort's partner in ministry, actor Kirk Cameron, said, "We will not only prove that God exists, but as an ex-atheist, I'll show that the issue keeping so many people from believing in God -- Darwinian evolution -- is completely unscientific."
Resolution Calls for More SBC Churches to Start Christian Schools
OneNewsNow.com reports that a joint resolution calling on more Southern Baptist churches to start Christian schools has been introduced for the denomination's upcoming meeting in San Antonio. Drs. Voddie Baucham and Bruce Shortt, who have led the SBC to develop an exit strategy from the public school system, brought the resolution. Last year, SBC president Dr. Frank Page called upon churches to start more Christian schools, because, as Baucham says, the public school system is hostile to the Christian message.
'God' Removed From Classroom by San Diego School District
According to The Church Report, a federal civil rights lawsuit has been brought against the Poway Unified School District in San Diego. The suit, brought by the Thomas More Law Center, accuses school officials of violating Johnson's constitutional rights by ordering him to remove several educational banners from his classroom because the officials deemed them to promote a "Judeo-Christian" viewpoint. Johnson had been displaying the banners - carrying such patriotic themes as "In God We Trust" and "One Nation Under God" - for nearly 25 years before he was ordered to remove them. Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel for the Law Center, commented, "Cleansing our Nation's classrooms of our religious heritage and history and imposing viewpoint restrictions on speech to silence such expressions advance no legitimate educational purpose. In fact, such actions undermine the primary purpose of public education: to prepare students for citizenship in our Republic."
Full-Color Student Bible Directs the Visual Generation towards Spiritual Success
Born between 1977 and 1994, members of the Visual Generation have grown up in an increasingly secular, media-saturated culture where stress is the emotion of choice and instant gratification is the answer to all of life's troubles. Now, a groundbreaking new resource helps set these contemporaries back on course — both spiritually and morally — positioning them to make a positive, eternal impact on their lives and those around them. The Holman Student Bible is the first and only full-color student Bible that speaks to this emerging generation in their own language — visually. With more than 500 photos, 200 maps, biblical reconstructions, topical quotes, and photos that help bring the Bible to life, The Holman Student Bible bursts with brilliant, four-color prints on every single page. The HSB also includes insightful commentary sidebars and innovative quick guides on biblical characters, how to study the Bible, world religions and cults, and how to identify spiritual gifts.

What Is MLM
What is MLM?
Multi Level Marketing, or commonly referred to as MLM, is a another name for Network Marketing. It is a combination of franchising and direct selling.
So, what is MLM? Multi Level Marketing is a business where people are contracted to distribute products and recruit new Distributors to do the same.
Members of a MLM company earn compensation that is based upon the sales that they have achieved for a particular product or service. Members also earn compensation based upon the production and sales of personally sponsored team members.
Common names associated with MLM
You will often here Multi Level Marketing, or MLM referred to as 'pyramid schemes' or 'ponzi schemes,' which are considered illegal. Because of this stigma that is automatically associated with MLM, many business owners prefer to refer to their MLM business as a 'home based business,' franchising, or sometimes, 'affiliate marketing.'
Like we mentioned earlier, commissions are earned in the process of selling a particular product or service. It is illegal to generate earnings in the form of 'sign up fees' or through recruiting alone. There has to be a tangible product or service that is being offered and sold.
Going back in time…
Many companies got in trouble in the early 1980s for focusing only on recruiting, and not concentrating on distributing or stocking actual products. This created that stigma that still follows MLM companies today.
The 1980s brought about major changes in the industry, and today, many companies perform as fulfillment firms by taking on the tasks of physically shipping products, paying commissions, and accepting orders from clients.
Fast forward to today…
Today, you will see a multitude of Multi Level Marketing companies. Many of these companies are legitimate, and offer fantastic products. Where they fall short is in the marketing training that they provide to their Distributors. You will hear old-fashioned marketing concepts of utilizing the 'three foot rule,' or be encouraged to prospect amongst your family and friends.
Many Distributors are just simply unwilling to practice these methods, or their 'warm market' is just simply not large enough to sustain a business of this magnitude. This is why we see such a high failure rate in the Multi Level Marketing industry.
Learn how to market on the Internet, and you can achieve success in any business that you choose to participate in!

Treating yourself to a relaxing Las Vegas spa day is one of the best things you can do during your time here, especially after a big night out. The Qua Baths & Spa at Caesars Palace is one of the top-ranked spas in the country and provides some of the most luxurious rejuvenation treatments you can find.
Opening its doors in 2007, the Qua Baths & Spa is a massive 50,000 square foot spa for you to indulge in. Included is their signature Laconium Room and Crystal Body Art Room, with the later completely dedicated to luxurious Swarovski crystals. These gems are carefully applied to your body, because you can't spend a weekend in Sin City without treating yourself to some bling. Guests will also enjoy three Roman baths, which are known to incorporate ancient healing powers. The spa's Arctic Ice Room is the only one of its kind in the world and by far the coolest treatment offered. This is the designated last stop on your spa adventure and is the one you'll be raving about to all your friends. As soon as you step inside the blue and silver cocoon that envelops you, it begins "snowing" and your pores close to seal all the high-end spa products that have been applied to your skin. This is all done is in the Qua Spa's serene setting, which makes for a complete relaxation experience that is unlike any you've had before. When you finally emerge, you'll want to channel your Zen at the Tea Lounge, where a tea sommelier will be waiting to brew you up the perfect herbal blend to compliment your invigorating spa session.
This fall, the Qua Baths & Spa has some special seasonal treatment offerings for you to try. Our favorite is the 50-minute, enzyme-filled, Great Pumpkin Facial, which has working ingredients that will leave your skin feeling revitalized and nourished from the intense summer sun. The facial's Nutrient Mud Mask with Pumpkin Puree is the true secret weapon of the treatment, as it will draw out impurities and sooth all skin types. With any facial, you can add on their Emergin-C Revital-Eyes pads, which will remove those hard-partying dark circles. For those looking for further detox, you will want to take advantage of the cedar wood dry sauna, herbal steam room, jacuzzi and fitness center.
With so many relaxation options to choose from, it's easy to spend a full day at the Qua Baths & Spa. However, rest assure that when you finally leave, you'll be feeling reborn and ready to take on Sin City all over again.

Accept No Substitues
From May through August of 2010 I made the American Southwest my home.
I ran & played & turned the minutes into hours, days into weeks.
I lived and slept and dreamt through a seemingly endless summer.
Once it ended, I wrote an opinion piece on how National Park tourism was becoming more about easy access and less about the experience, about cars and contraptions, of taking photos and staying above the rim, so to speak. Looking back, the writing has some conceptual flaws and poor word-choice, but the main thrust has the truth of it: *you* shouldn't live vicariously through my, or anyone's photos, that you should travel and experience firsthand; you should get of the car and stay a while. The Grand Canyon was the inspiration for the piece as it sees some 5 million visits per annum, yet only a hearty 10% (500,000) ever venture into the inner gorge (¡mi gente!). In a style that I dare say Edward Abbey might approve of, I ranted about what I perceive to be the acceptance of saccharine when sugar is at the ready.
Conde Nast never answered and the NY Travel section wasn't quick to respond either and these words were left to dry on the shelf. In 2013, post-graduate school, I another solitary month in the American Southwest. From Moab to Mexican Hat and Monument Valley, from Canyonlands to the Grand Canyon, I returned to my sanctuary. The media here is a blending of that past perspective with my present one. & true to the spirit of those words I wrote in 2010 years ago, there's but a handful of images from within the Grand Canyon (partly out of practicality: like the friendly hobbit we all know and love, my journey in the Canyon was be one of venturing there and back again: North-South-North. Lots of ground to cover and the less weighted down the easier the passing would be. Still, I couldn't resist taking a point'n'shoot.)
Recommended post viewing activity: Go outside and genuflect in a cathedral of light and stone. Afterwards, promise yourself that you'll forever more question drive-by tourism in all its forms.

When a child turns up gruesomely murdered, the midwife is accused as a witch, and the local hangman must turn up the real culprit or else torture and execute his innocent friend.
The Hangman's Daughter seems to be one of those books that everyone is talking about, probably because the price on Amazon is so low.
I enjoyed the historical detail from 17th Century Germany but the plot really let me down. It became a rather run-of-the mill thriller of the kind that doesn't particularly interest me. I loved the characters and the world but found myself rushing through the end.

Just wondering because I was thinking of getting an eyebrow piercing just because I think it's cute. Some of my friends agree with me, and the other half think it will set a false impression about me. (I don't agree because I feel like I will pull it off with my bone structure/ facial proportions). I just want you guys' opinion when it comes to attraction, turnoffs, etc.
What do you guys think of a girl with piercings located on the face?
Have an opinion?

Is there a generic brand similar to Gentrol?
Gentrol is so expensive. Is there anything else that has the same active ingredient that would work as well that is cheaper?
There is no generic equivalent of Gentrol IGR. We do have other insect growth regulators that are a little less expensive that may work for the insects you are trying to control. You can see our full line of IGRs by following this link: Insect Growth Regulators. You should click on the product label link on each product page to make sure the IGR will fit your needs.

Ridiculous al a cart airline pricing prevented my from taking home any of the holiday gifts I received from friends and family this past year. So this year I shipped everything to myself and flew back empty handed. Today, however, I get Christmas morning all over again as the UPS man huffed up 4 large packages of my loot. As I sliced open boxes filled packed well with bubble wrapped wine, cookbooks, and of course socks (the below are not my feet), that childish smile returned as I have new reading material for the month and a new grill pan for those left over Omaha Steaks I have in the freezer.

Half jack, half when the ace
finds its way back
and the vague stomp
each time you deal a spade
–you teach the kids
dead ends and random turns
half cards, half burial grass
–you say take the risk
bet! and suddenly the black jack
will fall to your knees
and dragged out the deck
–you deal with those dead sparks
from the sun smothered by pennies
the way each night is born again
as laughter safe inside this table
hid by a milky thread
and your eyes not yet ready
for the light or if the next card
is the other end you leave behind.

Horace de Vere Cole: Turn-of-the-Century Prankster and Poop-Joke Virtuoso
Here at CatRoommate, we ourselves are a band of boisterous scallywags, somewhat lacking in scruples. Ergo, we are in a state of awe when we come across a fellow master of mischief. And when the term "hornswoggler" comes to my mind (as it oft does) one man stands alone as by the far the greatest hornswoggler in recorded swoggledom. Who, pretell? Why my good man, Horace de Vere Cole, that is!

Planned Parenthood Virginia PAC responded by saying Cuccinelli does not care about women's health or economic security.
"For women, access to affordable birth control is not a political issue — it is an economic issue," said the PAC's executive director, Cianti Stewart-Reid.
"Women don't turn to politicians for advice about mammograms, prenatal care, or cancer treatments. Politicians should not be involved in a woman's personal decisions about her birth control."
Stewart-Reid added that Planned Parenthood Virginia PAC would work to defeat Cuccinelli, a Republican gubernatorial candidate who has pushed to limit abortion rights in the state.
The Obama birth-control policy mandates that most employers cover a range of birth control methods in their healthcare plans without cost-sharing.
Churches and houses of worship are exempt, and employees of religiously affiliated institutions such as Catholic schools will receive birth control directly from their insurers.
Opponents argue the mandate violates the religious freedom of employers who object to birth control or consider some methods equivalent to abortion.
Supporters say birth control is an essential part of most women's healthcare and should be accessible and inexpensive.
Cucinelli made his comment in reference to a lawsuit against the mandate from Hobby Lobby, a chain of arts-and-crafts store run by a conservative Christian family.
He told conservative radio host Steve Deace that protesting the policy with jail time would "provide an example of what tyranny means when it's played to its logical conclusion."

Jay Z posts video from wedding day seven years later
Finally! Beyonce and Jay Z have been married for more than seven years, but they've never released a single image from that sacred day… until now.
Just days after their seventh anniversary, Jay Z posted a short video of the two exchanging vows — He's donning a black tuxedo while he places a ring on Beyonce's finger. Jay Z's song "Young Forever" plays over the video with Beyonce singing the hook.
RELATED: See Beyonce's workout routine
The video ends with the couple gleefully walking down the aisle as man and wife, Jay Z's finger pointed toward the sky. He didn't caption the video posted to Instagram, clearly letting the video speak for itself.
RELATED: Beyonce and Blue Ivy are "flossing"
The video has actually been shown before, but only once. The couple showed it during the opening night of their "On The Run" tour in Miami last June.
RELATED: Is a Destiny's Child reunion in the works?
The couple have since welcomed a child, 3-year-old Blue Ivy.
Jay Z and Beyonce are currently celebrating their anniversary in Hawaii.

With the Canadian federal election recently behind us, it's likely that politics has been a hot topic of discussion in many workplaces over the last few months. A Quebec employer was recently reminded, at significant cost, that employees are entitled to express their political opinions at work and may not be fired for doing so (PDF - decision available in French only).
The Facts
During various discussions at work around the time of the 2012 provincial election in Quebec, an employee strongly expressed his political views to his colleagues. His views were not shared by a number of those colleagues and were considered offensive by some. The next day, the employee was called into a meeting at which he was told that the company did not need "politicians" in the workplace. He was then fired. On the employee's Record of Employment, the employer indicated he had been fired for "intimidation".
The employee brought a complaint alleging unjust dismissal under the Labour Standards Act of Quebec. At the hearing, the employer admitted the employee's dismissal was without just and sufficient cause. The Commission des relations du travail therefore ordered that the employee be reinstated. The outstanding issues between the parties involved the amount and type of damages to which the employee was entitled.
The Damages
After considering the submissions of the parties, the commissioner awarded the employee an indemnity for lost wages for the period of time between his dismissal and the date of reinstatement, as well as moral damages and punitive damages.
With regard to moral damages, the commissioner found that the employer had acted abusively by being untruthful about the reason for dismissal on the employee's Record of Employment. As a result, the employer was ordered to pay $10,000 in moral damages.
With regard to punitive damages, the commissioner concluded that the employer had acted in a highly reprehensible manner. In addition, the commissioner noted that the employer had refused to acknowledge its wrongdoing until after the employee had incurred the costs and expenses of litigation. Given these factors, as well as the large size and financial capacity of the employer, the commissioner awarded the employee $25,000 in punitive damages.
In total, the employer was ordered to pay over $90,000 to the employee.
Lessons for Employers
Although the result in this case was driven by a highly specific set of facts, it is important to note that political belief or activity is a protected ground of discrimination under human rights legislation in many jurisdictions across Canada. Employers should therefore carefully consider what actions, if any, can be taken when employees get involved in political discussions at work. To the extent such discussions do not become disruptive or interfere with productivity, employees are entitled to express their views and convictions, even when they are not shared by all.

Multiple ferromagnetic resonance in mesoscopic permalloy rings
Using a broadband microwave spectrometer we have investigated the magnetization dynamics of mesoscopic ferromagnetic disks and rings in the frequency range from 45 MHz to 20 GHz . We studied permalloy rings with an outer diameter of 2 μ m and different ring widths w . In the mesoscopic devices we find several ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) lines which shift with the in-plane magnetic field H b . Among them, two pronounced FMR modes are identified. We attribute these modes to localized spin waves in different ring segments where the characteristic resonance frequency either decreases or increases as a function of w , depending on the orientation of the ring segment with respect to H b .

Stratfor tracked the body of Osama Bin Laden says it was not buried at sea
'The Global intelligence Files' archive in Wikileaks contains an email from the private intelligence company Stratfor's Fred Burton which says Osama bin laden's corpse were not buried at sea according to United State's statement but was rather taken to Maryland.
Stratfor is a global intelligence company founded by Fred Burton a former special agent with US Diplomatic Security Service. The company provides intelligence on political, corporate and military to its clients including government agencies.
One of its well known client is Dow Chemical Co., the company which bought the Union Carbide Corporation (UCC) which was responsible for the Bhopal gas tragedy. Dow Chemical Co., has recruited Stratfor for gathering intelligence on Bhopal gas tragedy Activists who are trying to obtain justice to the people affected from the toxic Gas leak of 1984.
In the email on Osama bin laden's body, Fred Burton, described bin Laden's body as
"bound for Dover, DE (Delaware) on CIA plane", while a subsequent message said the remains went "onward to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Bethesda (Maryland)"
Pentagon officially said these information as "false and fairly ridiculous". This email is part of 5 million emails from Stratfor between July 2004 and December 2011 hacked by hacker collective Anonymous and released by Wikileaks from February 2012.

I was trying to remember what it was like--and realized it was much like my life is today. Typical day started about 8 a.m. and finished at 10 p.m. That was my day as a student--at least 4 days a week--unless an experiment went wrong in which case I'd wasted all of the preceding day's work, but I'd get off early.
And that is my day as a mom and a writer, LOL. (plus night duty)
Some people have funny attitudes to people with Ph.D's (or fuds as we called them). Some people get intimidated, others get shirty and start quoting the old 'university of life' crap. What--you think I live in a vacuum? Some people are determined to prove they know more than you do about some freaky obscure subject. Very likely--I'm not good at everything.
Let me tell you what a Ph.D. tells you about someone--nothing about their intelligence that's for sure...just that they can probably pass basic maths and English.
What it tells you is they know how to work hard, perservere against crappy situations, equipment failures and idiots who call themselves professors. They also know how to live on next to nothing for a surprising amount of years... sound familiar?
My dad always gives me grief about 'university types'. It annoys me because it makes out that I think I'm better than somebody else--not so--not even close. I respect and admire anyone who works hard. I am deeply grateful to those men and women who put their lives on the line in the military. I am in awe of teachers because I can barely cope with two kids, let alone thirty! I even admire people working in MacDonalds because I know it would drive me crazy.
But maybe that happened a long time ago :-)

Sigh...the world of academia. A lot of the people I know involved in academia are snobby and condescending of anything smacking of "genre." On the history level, I had to deal with "popular" and "academic" history books - i.e., if you published with a popular press, like Random House, you were not a "real" historian. But if you published with an academic press, you had finally made it. My whole argument was, "Oh yeah? And who's going to read it if you publish with an academic press?" The answer? "Other academics." And how does that benefit the world as a whole?ReplyDelete
Whoops. I'll get off my soapbox now. I chose not to get my PhD in history for the very reasons I mentioned above. I didn't want to live in the so-called Ivory Tower - and after being in grad school for two and a half years, I know it exists (at least in my field, it did.)
Snobbery in science tends more to be who you know :)ReplyDelete
Cambridge and Oxford don't/or at least didn't recognise PhDs from outside their institutions and tried to call people with doctorates from other universities Mr/Miss. That went don't really well I can tell you LOL!! History sounds full of its own pecularities too !!
WOW! Should've read these posts BEFORE I re-enrolled in Grad School, huh? ;)ReplyDelete
My masters will be in education with an emphasis in Special Education. After that, I'm thinking my Plus 30 in Administration and Supervision--honestly because there's nothing else that will get me a promotion besides that degree. Of course it this writing thing ever pays off...
I'll just stop at my masters. I love school, it's just that teacher's don't make very good even with a doctorate. A lot of tuition for not a very profitable return. :(
Kim--you're right, teachers and scientists never make huge amounts of money :(ReplyDelete
Oh well!
