VAL DI FIEMME, Italy
(Jan. 4) – World Champion Jessie Diggins (Afton, MN) earned a career-best World Cup classic result Saturday, skiing into 10th in the Val di Fiemme 5k, the sixth stage of the Tour de Ski. The result makes Diggins the top U.S. athlete in the Tour standings in 11th, while teammate Liz Stephen (E. Montpelier, VT) is 14th. Stephen finished 21st while Norway's Therese Johaug took the day's victory. The Tour wraps up Sunday with the infamous 9k pursuit race up Alpe Cermis, where Stephen was second fastest a year ago.

Jessie Diggins
I was really psyched on the race today because it was my best classic race on the World Cup by far, and a great confidence booster for me, as classic skiing is still something I'm trying to figure out.
The conditions were interesting as it was raining the whole day and some of the field went on zeroes and some went on klister, myself included. The tracks were soaked and mostly hard and fairly fast, and my Salomons were running great thanks to our crew.
I didn't ask for splits out there today because I knew I had a pacing strategy and would be going as hard as I could, so I asked the coaches to yell out technique and encouragement, which definitely helped a lot!
I'm excited for tomorrow's climb, mostly because of the feeling you get once you're standing at the top. It's this rush of emotion when you realized that you just finished an impossibly, insanely hard climb at the end of a long series of races, and it was crazy hard but you did it.
Liz Stephen
Today was pretty solid for sure. We had tricky conditions out there, but our wax techs handled them super smoothly and gave us good skis.
I am really excited for tomorrow. I look forward to this race all year and I have high hopes for reaching the top 10 tomorrow, which was my goal leading into the Tour. Starting in 14th tomorrow, only 30 seconds from the top 10 should make for an exciting race. I hope to be able to ski with Anna Haag (Sweden) on the flats and be able to work together to try and make up some time before the climb as well. I am mostly pumped that my parents are here watching and that my brother and his girlfriend are going to watch the race back home at 3:30 a.m.!

The Details:
- Auctions America's inaugural Burbank, California auction features over 400 cars on August 1st-3rd
- 1974 BMW 2002tii Touring Alpina previously owned by Paul Walker up for auction
- 1968-1976 BMW 2002 is brand iconic and early predecessor to 3 Series
- Live TV coverage on NBC Sports Network at 7-9pm EDT on August 2nd and 1-5pm EDT on August 3rd
Auctions America, a company specializing in the sale of American classics, European sports cars, hot rods and customs, is coming to Burbank, CA on August 1st through 3rd - live NBC Sports Network coverage beginning on Aug. 2nd. And with it is a long list of rare to previously-owned-by-celebrity cars. One such vehicle slotted into the auction and featured here is a 1974 BMW 2002tii Touring Alpina previously owned by Fast and Furious star Paul Walker.
The early '70s BMW is equipped with a 2000cc, inline four-cylinder engine with mechanical fuel-injection and a five-speed Gertrag Quick Shift manual transmission. This particular 2002tii Touring was upgraded by the dealer after purchase with an Alpina kit. The kit included fog lights, graphics, minor mechanical upgrades, wheels and interior bits.
The BMW 2002 was probably the most important automobile BMW ever built.
For those unfamiliar with the vintage BMW 2000, it is iconic to the brand and an early predecessor to today's 3 Series. The 2000 was produced from 1968 to 1976. The fuel-injected 2002tii variant was released in 1971 and is even more sought after in the states since it featured fuel-injection and improved performance of the time.
As stated in european car 1966-1976 BMW 2002 – On the Line:
"The BMW 2002 was probably the most important automobile BMW ever built. Before its arrival in the mid '60s, the Munich-based manufacturer was known for its boxer-engine motorcycles, a few odd little Isetta microcars and a range of expensive, limited-production sedans. This was a company going nowhere fast. All of that changed, however, with the introduction of the BMW 1600-2 in 1966."
For those lucky enough to own a 2002tii, only produced from 1971 to 1975, hold onto to it and contact european car with its info as it may wind up featured like the Sun-Kissed Screamer.

LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) -- Protests and sit-ins calling for gun restrictions are still making headlines after the mass school shooting in Parkland, Florida.
Experts at SafeSide Tactical believe it's best to be armed. They said if someone wants to shoot a person, they will find a way, regardless of any restrictions.
According to local gun advocates, there are better solutions to gun violence than restrictions, such as proper training.
Safeside Tactical provides safety courses that help people meet state requirements for carrying a gun.
An AR-15 was the gun used in the recent mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School. It is also the reason students are protesting and calling for lawmakers to pass stricter gun laws.
However, trainers said it all boils down to responsible gun ownership.
"If that person had been properly trained, properly raised, he would be able to control the impulse to do something bad," said Ken Pricer, a trainer on staff at SafeSide Tactical.
Those taking the training agree.
"You make a conscious effort with what you do with a gun. You can do good with it, or you can do evil with it," said Debra Wood, a person taking the safety class.
However, they regret the countless lives lost in the increasing number of mass shootings.
"Anytime anybody loses their life, it's terrible, specifically to a tragedy caused by another person. There's just no sense in it," Price said.
Wood said she doesn't know much about an AR-15, but she remains strong in her convictions.
"Even if one of my children was to pass that way, I would still want my right. All we can do is pray for those families and hope somehow they'll get through it," she said.
Many gun advocates agree with President Donald Trump ordering a ban on bump stocks, which are attachments that make guns fire faster, but they are sticking to their guns on the right to bear arms and against any effort to take them away.

While you are busy making plans and commitments for upcoming graduation ceremonies, prom, family gatherings, and all the other significant events you have on your calendars, please make room for a few more that you don't want to miss.
Although it is held just once every two years, the City of Rolla Public Works Department invites you to attend a free Public Works Day Celebration on Saturday, May 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the City's Downtown Festival Park next to City Hall – rain or shine. This year's theme for the annual Public Works Week, which runs from May 19-25, is "Because of Public Works."
In addition to free brochures, coloring books, balloons, stickers and comic books, there will also be an inflatable playground for children. The event will also feature the Public Works Mascot "P.W. Paws" and visitors will be encouraged to get their free photo taken. Free popcorn will also be provided.
Participating in the event are the Public Works Divisions of Streets, Traffic, Wastewater, and Engineering, along with the City's Parks and Recreation and Environmental Services Department. Rolla Municipal Utilities is also participating in the event.
City of Rolla and RMU staff will be on-site to demonstrate equipment, and answer questions. Visitors will be able to learn about water and wastewater treatment and distribution, how a sanitary sewer line is televised, watch computerized mapping system retrieve information, and climb inside various pieces of heavy equipment. For more information, please call the Public Works Department at (573) 364-8659 or visit www.rollacity.org.
Later this month, the entire community is also invited to attend the an Open House at the City of Rolla's new Environmental Services facility located at 2301 McCutchen Drive on Wednesday, May 22 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. The event kicks off with a ribbon cutting ceremony coordinated by the Rolla Area Chamber of Commerce and Chamber Ambassadors, followed by tours of the facility and light refreshments.
The 20,000-square-foot facility houses the Environmental Services' Vehicle Maintenance and Sanitation Divisions previously located off Sharp Road. The highly efficient 'green' facility, which was in the works for over 15 years, significantly improves the working environment, storage capacity and the quality of services now provided by City employees for the Rolla community.
For more information, please call 364-6693. Have a safe weekend and a great week ahead!

Consider revision: It may be based off the Javelin. The two designs are similar, and the Javelin is IR guided. User:Sukhoi-35BM
Maybe, but the Javelin has a huge rear cone and fires upwards, at which point the missile ignites and streaks to its target. The ingame HSRL doesnt. Its based somewhat on the ERYX design, as both have huge launch tubes, the only differences being the ERYX has a grip and scope, and is wire-guided, while the HSRL is a pistol grip with a scope. EDIT: I realized that it resembles a Russian SA-7 Grail instead. My mistake. User:MasterChief117
Dude, it's a videogame. The missiles in here have only a basic physics/ballistics program. As for the look, it's probably influenced by all three. Rockstar prob googled "guided anti-tank missile" and took what they liked. Like what they did with the Hydra and the Cargobob, both of which have multiple influences. I would say no to ERYX simply due to guidance system.
A javelin does have a direct fire mode

So basically they're voting to defend something that is blatantly worse.
What I think is that most people are afraid of change. Most people who get around the loopholes in the current system will no longer be able to, and I believe it's those people who vote against change, because they've worked their lives around a system with holes in it. So the government decides to pave over the holes at a slightly bigger cost and the majority of people who complain about these holes are saying "no"? It'd be like the new state transport minister promising to rebuild public transport in Victoria by setting aside funding for Metro, KDR, and 50 other operators in the state with maintenance and reliability improvements, and for us (who have been blaming the entire system's failure on the state) to say "No, we don't want it to change."

1) They're all white, and not just any white but with a vague white-trashy look.
2) The woman looks very ugly in her rage. Some pictures of anger inspire sympathy and desire for justice, others terror or even hateful recoil. This one only makes you feel mock pity and alienation, a sort of "wtf is this stupid woman riled up about" kind of picture.
3) The old man has the "I'm Bill O'Reilly's target audience" look all over him.
4) Although they clearly don't look like upper class people (though looks as measures of class distinctions in America just don't work period), they don't give the sympathetic air of the suffering proletariat either. This ain't no noble les miserables to be honored and lionized.
In conclusion: lol BBC, lol.

The notion that all media organisations are biased, in one way or another, is a universally accepted opinion. And this applies even to the venerated BBC, much vaunted for its impartiality.
The above story is one of those rare examples of very poor reporting and extremely questionable editorial judgment on the BBC's part. First of all, there is the unspoken assumption that Mr Obama's health-care reforms are universally accepted by Democrat-voting Americans while unanimously opposed by those who vote Republican. As the lengthy discussions in AnimeSuki alone would suggest, the consensus is not quite so clear cut. The choice of photo, as Irenicus pointed out, is deliberately misleading, as it aims unambigiously to portray typical Republican-voting Americans as dumb rednecks.
To be sure, the BBC is doing what it often does: It loves demonising the United States in general, playing to the usual stereotype that the British have of Americans as being shallow, stupid people too in love with corporatist capitalism to look after the social welfare of their own countrymen.
It is fine to pillory the self-serving politicians who oppose Mr Obama for the sake of opposition. But, then, do you notice how the article happily puts Republicans on the dock, quoting the views of two "exasperated" Democrats, while not giving similar space for Republican views?
Where is the fairness and balance in the story then, as expected from a news organisation that prides itself for its impartiality? Is it OK to run a polarising story such as this without giving the accused party the right of reply?
So, the point I was trying to make to Yoko_Takeo is this: He is half right in claiming some kind of bias within media. Examples such as the one provided by BBC above show that even some of the best in the industry fall prey to internalised prejudices.
Where he is wrong, however, is in suggesting that all the distortions are caused by the profit motive. The BBC runs, in effect, on a tax on every British citizen in the form of radio and TV licensing fees. It has a guaranteed income of around 3 billion pounds (US$4.8 billion) a year, if not more. It doesn't have to chase a profit, not when it has an assured source of annual revenue.
And yet, even then, the BBC is vulnerable like any other organisation, media-related or otherwise to fall victim to group-think. This is one of the most persistent problems likely to occur in any group, big or small, for the simple reason that crows of a feather tend to flock together.
You see this even in a forum such as AnimeSuki, made up of individuals who are presumably free of organisational coercion and therefore free to speak their minds. Yet, it doesn't take much for an impartial observer to see that AnimeSuki's members generally favour left-wing, progressive politics. We are generally suspicious of authority, and especially allergic to religion. In general, we are anti-racisim, pro-minority rights, especially those of women and homosexuals, and are generally pro-internationalism (if not necessarily pro-globalisation).
These internal biases show up in the more controversial topics that have cropped up from time to time in the General forum, from the threads on religion to gay rights. People who attempt, however reasonably, to put forth an opposing view tend to get pilloried as reactionary conservatives too lazy to think.
Now, rambling thoughts aside, I'd take you back to your regular news service. Here's a small story that cropped up last week from China, most likely missed by the rest of the world.
China bans further employment of substitute teachers
More poignantly though, the story reminds me of a little-known 1999 movie by Zhang Yimou, Not One Less.

Reading into the story, I'm guessing that one possible reason to do this is to stop possible agitation by the substitute teachers who want to be treated/paid as a regular teacher? At the same time, if the villages are too poor to afford the required salary of a regular teacher, that would mean the central government, via the provincial ones, would need to subsidize the cost. That is one way to stimulate the economy - but really just by a bit - without dumping more money through bank loans, which was supposed to be under tighter control now as (1) letters of credit are harder to get and (2) reviews are done daily supposedly.
Having "regular" teachers - even if their quality is the same as the substitutes - can also be a good PR move as well.

We have so many members from East and Southeast Asia, that I'm curious how the US weapons deal with Taiwan is being viewed in the region. On the one hand, I realize that we made this commitment years ago so that backing out now might be seen as abandoning our promises. Nevertheless the whole notion of selling advanced armaments to Taiwan seems quite destabilizing to me. How threatened is Taiwan really in 2010? Certainly we're far from the days of the Quemoy/Matsu crisis. Do people in Taiwan and its neighbors really believe the Mainland Chinese will attack the island in the years to come? If we believe that the maintenance of a separate government on Taiwan is an important foreign-policy objective (personally I don't), wouldn't some form of multi-lateral treaty obligations among the US and other Asian states to defend Taiwan be more effective, and more stabilizing, in the long run?

^ Speaking strictly in a personal capacity, I welcome the arms sale to Taiwan. The people of South-east Asia may welcome China's growth as a market, but I do believe the unspoken feeling is that we all equally hate and fear the increasingly arrogant giant.
The reasons are myriad and complex, but there have been hints that national leaders and foreign-policy wonks in this part of the world favour a balance of power to keep China in check, not least because few of us genuinely trust Beijing's intentions. That is not to say we expect a hot war any time soon — such violence would be unthinkable, not to mention economically intolerable.
But while Asean may carry China's balls in public, secretly, I think everyone's happy to see China's hubris pricked every now and then.
It's not the best source I can find at short notice, but you may recall the furore that former prime minister Lee Kuan Yew kicked up during his visit to the United States last year: Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew angers Chinese netizens
Carrying on, I have another story for which I hope Germans could provide some background:

One could argue that this is an irresponsible position; others could counter that they are placed in this position with little blame of their own (it's not like common Americans even knew about the dirty ponzi schemes their financiers were doing). But on a larger point it shows how a society that suffers as a whole will eventually come to consider what was once denounced as shameful as acceptable. The German example seem to indicate that Germany is relatively unfamiliar with bankruptcy as a "legitimate" financial measure and that the term still carries there a deep meaning of failure or even fraudulence, something which Americans around the Californian maelstrom have long since discarded in the practical conditions of their surroundings. Misery needs company et al.
In a slightly related anecdote, the issue of what bankruptcy really means is actually much older than the 20th century and all the fancy financial institutions that have been established since. I refer to Louis-Sebastien Mercier of 18th century France, who complained that bankruptcies "[h]ave become so frequent as to be no disgrace" although he blamed the "present" condition to the decadence of his day and considered the procedure "fraudulent." Of course, he, like many Frenchmen of his day, carried deep-seated hatred for financiers thanks to one of them causing a devastating collapse in France earlier in the century. Sounds awfully familiar.

World Leaders Remain Mum on Chinese Attacks on Google
What makes this silence more profound are these other two stories that appeared just today:
China bugs and burgles Britain
International Federation of Journalists Report on Increased Censorship in China
From the IFJ report:
What especially bothers me about the Google/China story is the lack of reporting about the other thirty or more companies that Google believes also have been compromised. Nor should any of this have been a big surprise to anyone paying attention. A report [PDF] from defense contractor Northrup Grumman detailed Chinese cyber-espionage efforts last October.

I've attended a couple of national conferences, and went to a number of seminars at the National Archives when I lived in DC. I'm currently enrolled in the NGS American Genealogy home study course. Eventually I plan to do the Boston University program as well.
When I moved to Milwaukee at age 21, I didn't know a soul, and I had no roots here. An elderly cousin wrote and said that my great-great-great grandparents had settled in Wisconsin, and were buried an hour or so north of where I lived. I called a local historical society looking for help finding their graves, and the woman who called back said, "You know, we have a whole file on them. You should come up and see it." I did, and discovered a treasure trove of information, including the original will of my great-great-great grandmother. She had loaned money to her eldest son (the one I'm descended from), and he hadn't paid her back. She spelled out her displeasure in her will, and took it out of his inheritance...with interest. I was hooked.

Scheiber, Holthusen, a bunch of Norwegian patronyms that are pretty much useless for surname lists, and some British names so common I can't bear to type them in. Lately, I'm also obsessed with a collateral line of a collateral line of a collateral line of Leiendecker folks from St. Louis, Missouri.
Frederick Scheiber (1843-1913). He lived in Milwaukee his whole adult life, and had a fascinating career as an attorney, politician, and public servant. He left me a fantastic paper trail, and made me feel I had roots in Milwaukee when I settled here to marry a cheesehead. Fred also carefully spelled out which of his grandkids would get each of his books in his will. That's a dude after my own heart.
Bergen, Norway (although I'd actually like to see all of Norway...such a beautiful country).
Ancestry. I know it's dull, but I remember the days when you had to leave your house to do even a tiny bit of research, and with two small children in tow, I couldn't do any research at all if it weren't for Ancestry. For on-site research, the Minnesota Historical Society library is the happiest place on earth. They have an amazing collection, they have enough microfilm readers even on busy days, and the cafeteria is fantastic.
Ancestry, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter
Once in a while the kids let me alone long enough to have a shower. Mostly, though, I'm either working, doing genealogy, or actively engaged in descendant-care for all of the hours I'm awake. I plan to develop some hobbies or interests in 2019 or so.
Is being a little mouthy a philosophy? If so, I'm there.
I like Yoda too. "Do or do not. There is no try." That's good stuff right there.

From 1974 to 1981, Dick Burleson won eight consecutive AMA National Enduro Championships, a record so extraordinary that it may never be broken. Burleson's total domination of national enduro earned him the nickname "King Richard." In addition to his incredible domestic record, Burleson also won an amazing eight consecutive gold medals in the International Six Days Trials (now called the International Six Days Enduro). Among American off-road racers, Burleson is one of the all-time greats.
Burleson was born in Johnson City, Tennessee, in 1948. His family moved to St. Joseph, Michigan, when he was 2 years old. Burleson didn't take the normal route to motorcycle racing stardom. Instead of learning to ride at a young age like many of his contemporaries, Burleson first began riding at 18, when he bought a used Honda 90 to commute to a summer job he had before enrolling at the University of Michigan. He took the Honda with him to college and found a group of off-road riders that had taken over a gravel pit near the campus. Not knowing any better, Burleson started riding his 90cc street bike at the gravel pit. He found that he had a natural ability and became more interested in off-road riding.
By the late 1960s, Burleson entered the burgeoning sport of motocross. He won several district and national amateur MX championships before turning pro and entering the Trans-AMA Motocross Series in 1970. In his first season as a professional motocrosser, Burleson finished fourth overall in Trans-AMA and was top American in the series, earning him the title of American Motocross Champion (this was in the years preceding the AMA National Motocross Series).
Having excelled in motocross, Burleson began competing in AMA National Enduro events, which at that time were equal, if not greater, in importance to motocross racing. He found that he enjoyed that form of competition. In 1971, John Penton invited Burleson to race on the American Trophy team that was competing in the International Six Days Trial at the Isle of Man. Even though his bike failed, leaving him with a DNF, Burleson was enthused about representing his country in international competition.
The next year, Burleson was invited to the ISDT again, this time in Czechoslovakia. That year, Burleson finished impressively with a bronze medal and the American team was awarded the Watling Trophy for its improved performance.
After graduating from college, Burleson moved to Ohio to take a job as eastern service manager for Husqvarna. In 1973, Burleson was a part of the American team that earned the country's only ISDT Silver Vase victory. After the ISDT, which was held in Massachusetts that year, Burleson began riding a prototype Husqvarna 350cc that had been left to the American Husky distributor by the Swedish team. Burleson, who had been used to riding 125 and 175cc bikes, found the more powerful 350 perfectly suited his riding style. He ended the '73 season by wining three-straight AMA national enduros.
In 1974 Burleson earned an impressive nine national enduro victories en route to his first AMA National Enduro Championship. That fall, things got even better at the ISDT in Italy. Burleson earned his first gold medal and was the highest-scoring American.
Burleson continued his successes in 1975. He won his second national enduro title and another gold in ISDT. Burleson continued on an incredible string of victories that would carry him to another six national enduro titles for eight in total. He earned the same number of gold medals in ISDT competition. In recognition of his accomplishments, Burleson was named AMA Amateur Athlete of the Year in 1976. He would win the honor again in 1981.
Undoubtedly the most pressure-packed season for Burleson was the 1981 campaign. He had tied Bill Baird's seemingly insurmountable record of seven AMA national enduro championships the year before and was going for a record eighth title. Burleson's competition was coming on strong, especially young Burleson protégé and teammate Terry Cunningham. The championship came down the final checkpoint of the final round and it was Burleson emerging victorious over Cunningham by a mere two points. With his eighth national championship, Burleson had forever etched his name as one of the truly elite American motorcycle racers of his day. He went on to earn gold for the eighth time in the ISDT held on the Mediterranean Isle of Elba.
After winning eight AMA National Enduro Championships and eight ISDT gold medals, Burleson announced his retirement from national competition at the end of 1981. He left the sport at the top of his profession. In all, Burleson had won 60 AMA National Enduro events in addition to his eight ISDT gold medals.
Burleson established a highly successful consulting business in 1988. His company helped KTM design a very successful line of enduro racers. With a partner, he started a mail order off-road motorcycle parts and accessories business. He helped develop the Moose line of off-road riding apparel. And he participated in the development of the curriculum for the Motorcycle Industry Council's off-road rider training program.
In 1994, 13 years after his official retirement, Burleson rode again in the ISDT held near Tulsa, Oklahoma. Even at the age of 46, Burleson managed to earn a silver medal in the event and became the only American to ride in both American ISDTs. The AMA recognized that accomplishment by naming him Amateur Athlete of the Year for a record third time.
When inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1999, Burleson continued to work on new projects with his company. He also found a new outlet for his competitive spirit -- downhill mountain bike racing. In the late-1990s, Burleson earned both national and world titles in his age category on the mountain bikes.
Dick Burleson was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1999.

All the recruiters I've talked with really emphasize that I need to be as flexible with location preference as possible. This makes sense to me because I have no prior teaching experience and no teaching certificate, so being location-flexible is an easy way to increase my chances of landing a job. However, a lot of what I've read online makes it seem like Seoul is where I want to be if I'm going to enjoy Korea at all. If I end up in a city like Gwangju or Daejeon is my time in Korea going to really be that bad? I have a hard time believing that any city of a million plus people can really be that awful for a young person to live in. Back to top JustinCJoined: 10 Mar 2012Location: We Are The World!

What you should really be asking is what do you want to do while in Korea. Are you a partier? Would you be bored if you didn't have a lot of nightclubs and such to go to? I lived in Daegu for a couple of years, and while I'm not one to party, it did have a nightlife that most expats enjoyed. I then lived in Bundang which is more about being close to Seoul but not living in "complete" concrete. Now I'm hoping to return to Korea and enjoy a smaller town lifestyle and get away from the big cities. Remember, you are young, if you spend one year in a city and don't love it, just pick a different city next year. Anyway, that's my 2 cents on the matter. Figure out what you want and see if a city fits. Back to top thebektionaryJoined: 11 May 2011 Posted: Thu Nov 22, 2012 5:08 pm Post subject: A city of a million in Korea is different than a city of a million in another country, especially America. A city of a million is huge in America, but not that huge in Korea. I've never lived in Daegu but I've heard from many friends who have lived or do live there that it is boring compared to Seoul and they come to Seoul often on the weekends. The reason why living in Seoul is so great is because there are constantly things to do. I'm not a partier and I still wouldn't move out of Seoul because of all the cultural events and networking opportunities here. Yeah, there are clubs and bars in Hongdae, but there are also great cafes, art shows, etc. I like seeing events constantly going on and never having to think about what I'm doing over the weekends because there's ALWAYS something to do - it's just a matter of picking what I want to go to. Even if you don't live IN Seoul, you can live close. Look at places like Bucheon, Incheon, Suwon, Bupyeong, Gwangmyeong, Guri, etc. Some of these places are on the border of Seoul and there's really no difference between them and Seoul besides an invisible border. If you are young and interested in making a variety of friends and experiencing Korea's modern culture, I recommend Seoul or a surrounding city. Don't listen to what recruiters say. There are thousands and thousands of jobs here... I just got a girl from my university a job here. Recruiters don't like people who single out Seoul and Gyeonggi, but who cares. That's their job. Don't take a job in a place you don't want just because a recruiter doesn't want to work hard for you. Many, many people get jobs in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do (urban) without experience or qualifications. When I was looking for a job for this girl, she got many offers in Suwon which is good and close enough, but I ended up getting her a job in Seoul proper and she also has no experience or qualifications. So just be persistent.

I've never lived in Seoul but visited several times. I would have to take your word for it on this one. I think any place in Korea would be boring compared to Seoul just because of the size difference. I'm not one who wants something to do ALL the time. I quite like relaxing and strolling along a river for a Saturday evening. So pebecher take what I say with that grain of salt. But thebektionary's one point is true, figure out what you want and then go for it. I keep getting offers for satellite cities of Seoul but I will wait for my small coastal city to come along.

IF you have a crap job in Seoul you will have a miserable year (or you will be drunk the whole time so it won't bother you). If you have a great job elsewhere you will have a decent year, make some friends, have a good Korean experience, get some job experience under your belt and have the time, connections and ability to move closer to the bright lights of the big city in year 2. Personally, I prefer the satellite cities (like Suwon and Seongnam). All the advantages and proximity of the big city when I want it and far less of the crap (pollution, traffic, etc) for the rest of the time. . Back to top schwaJoined: 18 Jan 2003Location: Yap Posted: Fri Nov 23, 2012 4:58 am Post subject: Something I've observed talking to many teachers who wound up landing all over Korea is that they tend to feel an attachment to where they first get their feet wet & learn their way around, be it big, small, or in between. [A few will pipe in disagreeing, but generally...] Contrary to what many say, a first experience outside Seoul or environs can afford a nice simple first taste of Korea & you will almost undoubtedly find enough conveniences & some likable companions there. Then, when you do visit Seoul, you can discern more accurately what you need & want there & figure your way around. A lot of the serial gripers on this forum arrived to jobs in Seoul & have seldom seriously ventured beyond the concrete & where the subways go.

If you have a need for companionship, lots of things to do, new people to meet and a high-energy atmosphere, then Seoul or Busan would probably be a better fit. If you're a bit of a loner, enjoy doing things on your own and enjoy the company of a couple of friends versus a lot of different people, then a smaller city would work for you. I've never lived in Seoul...nor would I want to. It's too frantic for me, but I understand why others might like it. I much prefer country living.

(I've been to Seoul, maybe 8,9 times since March.) It's really nice having Daejeon so close, but one negative is this - LAST train home leaves at 1 AM, so if I miss that, I'm in for the long haul at the clubs until the 6 AM FIRST train. ... unless my friends & I shell out $40, flat rate for a taxi ride home (which we've done a few times) I'll agree with what Schwa said up above. I've become attached to my small town and I'm re-upping for another contract in March. Then, maybe I'll try to chase a Uni job or check out a diff. country. Skippy gave good advice up above as well.. If you're NOT IN one of those cities, make sure you are within a short train ride/ bus ride/ taxi from them, to keep your sanity on the weekends , once or twice a month when you may need it. Good luck, Gotta go ride my bike out to the lake on this beautiful sunny day.

I am a huge fan of Fine Art America! When looking for art for my home Fine Art America is my first "go to" place. I'm never disappointed with the seemingly endless selection and spend wonderful hours looking at the incredible variety of art available. I truly enjoy knowing who the artists are and often the presentation of their work highlights other work they have done. I have seven paintings in my home from Fine Art America and have never been disappointed in either the framed prints or the canvas. All are of high quality and arrive on time in perfect condition. I give Fine Art America the highest recommendation possible.

I am not happy with Fineartamerica, I ordered this painting on the 6th of January and still have not received it, I also ordered one for my sister (different painting) and she has received hers, the orders were only one day apart, I live in France and she lives in England, what makes it so difficult to deliver items to France and both countries are in Europe, Can I have my artwork please, I've paid for it!!!!
The fog lifting off the reservoir stopped time for a second and enveloped this beautiful church in a softness that I couldn't help but capture.
One hobby that has been consistent with me over the years has been photography. I have been honing my skills for the past 20 years, transitioning from film photography to digital. I also have a passion for animals, wildlife and nature, so bringing those passions together with photography was easy. As you can see, I love to capture emotion in my photos.

FH Publishing necesitaba un nuevo diseño de impreso o envases y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 94 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
Florida Hospital (http://www.FloridaHospital.com) CREATION Health (http://www.CreationHealth.com)
This is Part 2 of our competition. In Part 1, we had 34 designers submit over 433 cover designs. We had some amazing results. In the end designer Teetyson won the competition.
Now in part 2 we need to design a one 4-page spread for the interior of the book. Here's the idea. We have 56 devotionals total. Each devotional is 400-500 words and we anticipate each devotional to cover a 4-page spread.
We are asking designers to submit a single 4-page design spread that will then be used as a template. The 4-pages spread should be of the same theme and similar design with small variations from page to page.
If you submit the winning design, we will most likely (but it's not a guarantee) ask you to complete 6 more designs that are variations of your winning design to complete the interior design for the whole book. That may mean changing the colors or images used so it looks like it's in the same family, but still unique designs.
Of course, we will pay extra (probably an hourly rate) for you to give us the additional designs.
Our primary target audience is women interested in inspiring stories and insights of how to live life to the fullest. This book will share heart touching stories by women for women in connection to a healthy mind, body and spirit.
This book will be made available for sale to church groups, businesses, and major on-line retailers such as Amazon. The book will also be featured on TV, print, and radio advertising.
We would like this book to have a similar "look & feel" as our other CREATION Health material, while still being unique and distinct. You can look at the web design for CreationHealth.com for ideas.
-- A 4-page design spread for the interior of our women's devotional. This spread should have the look and feel of the CREATION Health brand (bright colors, nature themes, crisp designs).
- The 4-page design should feel like it matches to the cover of the book (see attached PDF of the winning cover design from Teetyson). NOTE: This DOES NOT mean we are asking you to duplicate the cover design. The interior should be unique, but feel similar to the cover design.
- Please use the attached sample devotional to inlay the text.
1. The complete sample devotional text inlayed in the design (including: title, author name, text and page number)
2. Some design element or special treatment for the first few words of each devotional
3. Attractive overall 4-page design
**Remember: The winning design may be used to create 6 more 'companion' designs for the other 6 days of the week. **
IMPORTANT: Design should have a "gift book" feel. The interior will be printed in 4 color on glossy stock.
Trim size: 6.6x5.5
