Someone who gets in/ around dupsters, picking up items to keep. Guy: Hey I saw someone digging in the trash the other day.
Girl: I know; he was such a Dumpster Diver. |
1. | dumpster diver | ||
Stacy and Nicole's FAVORITE pastime! We have found that the best dumpster's are any dollar store. They throw away TONS of GREAT things!
The best things that these 2 girls: Stacy and Nicole have found: New, unopened DVD's Jewlery Money Pet Food Tic Tacs Office supplies Pills Magazines and Books Homless men that have become thier good friend's. They got their love of junk picking and dumpster diving from Stacy's father, who is Nicole's Grandpa Paul! Nicole says, " Mom!! It's Monday, we have to get to the dumpsters on Wolcott Street BECAUSE you know they empty the dumpsters tonight!"
Stacy says, " OK, OK... GRAB the plastic gloves and flashlights, Nicole..." Nicole says," Do we have anymore hand sanitizer, Mom?" Stacy says, " Yes, hon, let's get goin'" We both grin and say, " WE ARE THE BEST DUMPSTER DIVER'S EVER!!" |
2. | dumpster diver | ||
A person, often a woman, who finds the trashy- coulnd't care less- look Very attractive!!! E.g. to meet a man on the street, looking like he woke up in a dumpster that morning with he's ripped- never washed jeans, t-shirt, preferably a big beard, sunglasses and some "casual shoes" would be a true treasure of the day for a dumpster diver! (tattoos are often plus). -Oh my goood!!!.... Did you just see that dude over there!?
-Dude, he was like homeless I think.... -Oh... Don't know if I care though! -You are such a dumpster diver! |
4. | dumpster diver | ||
A guy who likes trashy women. Did you see that nasty chick Jonathan picked up? He's such a dumpster diver.
5. | dumpster diver | ||
One who dives into dumpsters in search of something meaningful. Often done by hackers/phreakers/etc. searching for phone numbers, important documents, and/or credit card numbers. I saw a dumpster diver searching for numbers to randomly dial so he can hack into computers.
6. | dumpster diver | ||
"Dumpster" is tacked on to the word "diver." A "diver" is short for "muff diver." When one adds "dumpster" to it, then the conotation is obvious: someone is diving into a cavernous, dirty, nasty ... cavity. But take the origin of "Dumpster!" Usually it has "cum" in front of it (as in "cum dumpster"). So now we can think of an alternate definition as having to do with sloppy seconds, or thirds ... or more. When "diving" in this manner, there is usually an echo and vile residue involved. My face was all sticky and covered in pecker snot at that party last night when I decided to be a dumpster diver with that nasty skank.

- Ingredients A-Z
- In Season
Ingredients by
Quickly does it
Long Description to add
Cheat's Chocolate Trifle
Made in moments, this trifle is a real treat for chocolate lovers. And even complete beginners can make this, as all it involves is a quick trawl round the supermarket and an assembly job.
Cheat's Chocolate Rum Gateau
This recipe looks so impressive that your guests will think you've spent all day in the kitchen. Little do they know that this is a quick and easy recipe that you can make in advance, then just sit back and wait for the compliments!
Baked Apple Meringues with Orange-soaked Raisins
Who says dieters have to miss out? This wonderful low-fat dessert will please dieters and non-dieters alike and is a good way to achieve one of your five-a-day in the process!
Baked Apple and Almond Pudding
This is just the sort of thing that you hope will be served after a convivial Sunday roast, complete with home-made custard, or cream, of course!
Classic Crepes Suzette
These were all the rage in the 1960s - the sort of thing a waiter would flambe in front of guests in a kind of floor show. It's a shame they've fallen out of favour and deserve to be back in fashion - a lovely citrus and pancake dessert.
Who doesn't love custard, especially when it's this creamy, with flecks of real vanilla seed - just the job with any wintry dessert such as a crumble, apple pie or steamed treacle pud.
Sparkling Cider Jellies with Dried Fruits topped with Cider Syllabub
There's something wintry about these lovely light jellies - the cider, dried fruits and cider syllabub all combine to create a great taste sensation, indulgent enough to serve at a special-occasion dinner.
Queen of Puddings
With a royally good taste, queen of puddings is one of those old-fashioned desserts that should find favour in a recession: cheap and easy but no less delicious for it.
Cappuccino Cheesecakes
Make these the day before you want to eat them: creamy, luxurious and so special, these lovely low-fat cheesecakes are the perfect treat for dieters!

Post subject: HELP!!!!
Hi All,
I would like to ask for some help from any of u who would oblige me:
I have been struggling alot of late with my teenage daughter. She has been speaking to me in a nasty tone and been resistant to my requests. NOW i know this is what teenagers do, but it is really affecting me. I have now had acne resurface. I have been so stressed with her that i just can't cope anymore. I feel in a state of woundupness constantly when i am in her presence. I have begun to restablish boundaries and limits and consequences for misbehaviour.
I find it so hard not to react and say "do not speak to me in this way" and she says something along the lines of "u can't stop me" sometimes if i discipline her she says no u can't make me do anything. The truth is i can't make her do anything. I feel she is sapping my energies and having adverse affects on skin.
any input would much be appreciated. I am also do a degree and this has caused me anxieties about the amount of stuff i have had to learn.
Love, light and blessings

Hi Theressa,
You are at that age where you are probably going to loose your daughter emotionally for a couple of years but she will come around once she has found herself. My impression is the reason you are breaking out is not so much because you are firm with your daughter, it is your responsibility to be firm until she is old enough to know better, but my suspicion is that you are being hard on yourself about being hard on her. Your daughter right now thinks she knows it all when in fact she knows very little. My suggestion is to try to do some online research on practical ways to handle the situation. I am sure your problems have to have been discussed by others. Maybe if you can get some tips from others who have had the same issues you can ease your mind a bit and give you tools to help you deal with your teenager in a way that helps you to feel good about yourself. My best to you and hang in there with the school. It will be well worth the effort and you will get through it.

Hi Michelle,
Thank you so much for your posts.
I know it is necessary that my daughter moves away from me to establish herself.
I have gone back to reinforcing boundaries and thus some of the upset has cleared a little. I think my daughter has needed to see that the boundaries and limits are there still. I think given the family stuff and my injury in which time she has been doing alot of stuff surrounding responsibility that there was a need for me to re-establish some firm boundaries and limits with her.
I think my own stresses have made it difficult for me to not over react. I am glad to say some of these are clearing now. I know my mind set affects how I can deal with other things impacting me.
My good friend went through similar stuff with her son and she had to re-establish some firm boundaries with him. Then he felt much safer and began to handle things better.
My friend and my daughter's dad gave her some ideas about taking some space on her own if she is feeling sensitive. I think she has been doing this.
For me I understand all this is very necessary and I know it is normal. I have just found it so challenging. What with my injured arm, her dad's illness and unemployment, me going to university and also the illness and death of my uncle. My daughter has had alot to deal with.
Rishi won't stop me wanting to study. I think it is very necessary to learn about theories/explanations of why people might behave in certains ways. My intuition is what guides me alot.
It was my intuition that lead me to do this course and my guides, so far from me going to university to get greedy and be unspiritual I think it is much the opposite. I think Rishi and others forget that spirituality is based on real life and not sitting in a monerstry for years on end meditating.
For me its about gaining self awareness. It has been about also facing and upgrading many skills. Yes this has been scary and a massive learning curve but one I want stick with.
Sometimes life gets overwhelming. I think that the stress hormones have been at full throttle hence the effects such as acne lol. I think as I am overcoming the fears of studying and learning the necessary skills then the acne will calm down.
I think maybe it is inevitable that this would be scary and would affect my body. I guess what i am trying to say is maybe the consequences are necessary as a mountain climber gets cuts and bruises, but still chooses to climb the mountain.
I am going to find an online parenting website and speak to other parents about PMS etc. I am doing my best and yes it is hard but i am sure i can get through it all.
love and light

Dear Theressa :
I agree with Michelle , you are doing great given all the things you are facing right now!
As the mother of two teenager girls not too long ago (they are 25 and 27 now)my sympathy to you ...it is a rough time !
I still remember their teen years as a very ,very difficult time ...just recently , a couple of years ago ,one of them sat down at a coffe shop with me and said -Mom , I was such a terribly rebelious teenager ...thanks for being there , for not negotiating your limits ...I needed them! we both cried and laughted, and were relieved it was over.She has a strong will , a powerful soul , and I got to understand intuitively that she was testing her strenght ...at the only one available , since her father was an absent figure. Not his fault entirely, had a very crappy childhood.
My other girl wrote a poem in her first poetry book, praising her mom limits , that she said that even unspoken , she knew they were there , and felt safe...uff, she does not know how hard it was to work at limits for me, and how much i learned from the process !
From a lecture of a french therapist ,just last year I learned that children raised in a home with only one parent (id est mom) rebel against us because simply we are the only one around, exactly as my intuition had told me years before!
so keep trusting your intuition ,its your greatest guide , and yes , make sometime alone for yourself each day , and keep your favorite inspirational, books, music ,etc, nearby , nourish yourself in a word ...and she will learn from that , and in a few years will thank you ...
it will not be today , or tomorrow , but it will happen ,be sure it will.
Teens learn by our example , and taking care of yourself , you are teaching her to do the same one day.
And dont be hard on yourself , if you cant keep up sometimes , then you will be teaching that you are human too...as you said , we do our best all the time, and that is all we are asked to do...the Divine does not ask for more !
this that you are doing is wise too, asking for help when feeling it is too much is a measure of strenght...remember to ask your angels for spiritual support also, they are always there , and they certainly do help in surprising ways.
You put it beautifully , the climbing of a mountain does leave some bruises , but the view at the top is -wow! -incredible , so keep on climbing girl !
The only thing a climber needs to remember is to stop once in a while , take a rest and enjoy the journey...
(There is a beautiful book by Christiane Northrup called Mother Daughter Wisdom , that is both inspiring and helpful too)
Blessings to you both, may Divine Love fill your home,from the source within.

Hi Patricia,
Thank you!
It just feels like in every area of my life recently it has been shook up. I noticed the common theme is feeling ill equipped and uncertain of what to do. I have felt so frustrated and drained. Sometimes to be coping with so much at once can leave one feeling so, so deflated.
Things have started move a little now.
I cried when you said doing your best. There have been days when i felt so inadequate and wanted to throw the towel in. I felt the battles were too much. I had struggles due to inadequate writing skills, grammar for university. A child who was pushing me to the brink of craziness lol, a charity that has had so many problems and then a person (who is 20 years old) at university who was so challenging and an incarnation of my daughter. Battles with my aunty who wouldn't let me see my uncle who has now since died.
I am wondering why I needed all these battles but obviously they trigger the same response in me. Stand up and fight for what I feel is right! This resulted in them digging in deeper. The choice was let them have their way or fight them. With my aunty I gave up fighting when my uncle got too sick and I decided he mattered more than winning her. The same with the girl at university, i decided it didn't really matter if the report we were working on wasn't perfect and was her way. The charity I understand now that others are sorting it out. I have gone some way to learn about grammar and asked others for help. Now there are some reaffirmed limits I guess my daughter has calmed down.
I can see this was about CHOOSING MY BATTLES so I can save my energy for more important things. However, what would come up for me with my daughter was the responsibility of mine to make sure she grows up well and also to have respect.
So thank you Patricia. I feel relieved to be overcoming some of these battles now.
Love, light and blessings

The keys to our vacation apartments have become progressively more complicated with each trip.. In Venice there was one key that opened the door to the building and our apartment door. In Buenos Aires there were two keys; one complicatedly old fashioned one for the front door and one for the apartment itself. The front door key was hardly ever necessary since there was a doorman at the desk most of the time. Here in Rome we have four keys, all different and requiring unique tricks to function in the locks. Coming home with a bag of groceries can be very difficult.
Our apartment building is about six stories of wedding cake with elaborate balconies and window decorations. The ground floor seems to be retail spaces although none of them are occupied. The door to our apartment is in the middle of the block. It is a big double door painted black and maybe ten feet high leading to an entry way where the trash cans reside. (There is a complicated recycling code for the trash which we can't comprehend so all our trash goes into general trash.) On one side of the entry way is a set of stairs leading to a metal gate (barred- not solid) leading to the lobby area with the stairs and elevator.
The front door key is a large ordinary looking silver one. It was difficult to use at first because the lock doesn't reveal any action. You just have to push as you turn and the door opens. This door is usually open in the daytime which is a big help. The gate key takes a little understanding about how far to insert but once you get the knack it opens easily. Then you climb a half flight of steps to reach the elevator.
There are no keys or tricks to the elevator. It is an old fashioned self-service contraption with an outer door that swings out and two inner doors that swing in. It won't go anywhere until all those doors are latched. Once engaged it rises in a metal cage around which the stairs ascend. We are especially appreciative that the stairwell in our building is always cool.
Then on our floor there are four doors, two on each side of the landing. This key is an old fashioned key that has to be
inserted correctly with the proper side down to open the door. There is a trick to leaning how far to push the key in but once you find it, the door opens easily. Then, inside there are two more door, the one to our apartment and the one to another apartment. This chamber is dark with the only light switch inside our apartment but the key is a standard one which is easy to insert and operate. You turn the key and there you are, finally inside out
Our landlord supplied these keys on a large ring. In addition to the four essential keys for reaching our apartment, there are five or so more keys. We have no idea what they are for or why they need to be on this ring but there they are. Since each of the extra keys resembles one of the important ones, it makes finding the right keys more complicated. I am sure that our landlord has good reason for this that has nothing to do with his rental guests. We can cope and one thing I have learned from our foreign travels is that when it comes to how people do things, asking why never accomplishes anything good. It is just how things are and no one is about to change something that works fine just to make sense to an American.

Not the best time of year to start a group like this, I know.

However, you would never expect the dentist office to be horrible or terrifying even to the youngest of patients. Especially those that take advantage of the poor.
After reading the article about the Children's Dentistry of Rome, I am disgusted, appalled and angry about this. It breaks my heart just reading just the first five paragraphs on the online article.
I hope that these dentists at that place are never allowed to practice dentistry ever again and are sent to prison. It will be the ultimate Christmas present for all of those innocent kids that suffered in their hands.
Not only does it make other dentists look bad, it makes other pediatric dentists look as well.

This thick, well-seasoned garbanzo bean dip has been enjoyed in eastern Mediterranean countries since ancient times. Serve it as a dip with pieces of pita bread, sesame crackers, or fresh vegetables. Middle Eastern markets carry hummus ready-made in cans or jars, but using a food processor makes its preparation from scratch both simple and quick.
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup finely chopped onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil, or 1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano, or ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste
Dash of ground cumin

So I guess since no one wants to fill my position I'll be the membership director for another year. Though at this point after being on the board for 8 year straight I will be ready for a break after this year....so hopefully someone will ready by this time next year!
At this point we really need 1 person to step up and be the V.P. or Course Maintenance man(Cookie will fill the other spot) so we can operate on a full board.

Seems no one is willing to step up for Treasurer so I will fill that spot one last year.
Just want to put something out there. There are a couple of us that would like a break from being a board member and we keep emphasizing this yet no one wants to step up and help out the club. Some of us just want a break for a few years and can come back and help out at a later time, but please be informed that there are a few that are not willing to say one more year after 2013. We have held on in efforts to not see disc golf go away in San Angelo, but it is not fair that the same group of people keep having to do this year after year. If there is not a board then there will be a big change for disc golf in San Angelo. No board means no tournaments, no minis, courses will eventually fall apart because then no maintenance done on the courses, if a basket gets stolen then oh well because who is going to pay and replace it? Really something that our 70 plus members need to think about for the 2014 year. We will still be here to help where we can and answer questions as you go, but a few of our members really need to start considering running for a position for the 2014 year next year or there will not be a CVDGA. Disc Golf has come way too far here but you can't expect the same people to always be the ones doing the work. Just Food for Thought. So we have all but one spot covered for 2013, anyone willing to step up out of their comfort zone and help see disc golf continue on in San Angelo?

Louisiana Tech mascot dies of heat stroke
Tech XX, the English bulldog that served as mascot at Louisiana Tech University, died of heat stroke after being left out in the heat Sunday.
Though initially reported missing, the four-year-old English bulldog was left outside by an employee, who has since been fired, according to the veterinarian that cared for the dog.
The employee, according to news reports, tried to cover up the dog's death.
"Tech XX was a member of our immediate family and a daily part of our lives for the past four years," Patrick Sexton said in a statement. "We are devastated over the circumstances of his passing, and there will be a large void in our hearts for some time to come. As with any family member, we will spend considerable time grieving his passing."
In a statement, the university said that since becoming the mascot in 2008, Tech XX got superior care from Sexton's team.
Tech XX's predecessor, Tech XIX, was retired in 2007 because of health concerns after suffering heatstroke, the university said on its website.
Originally, a worker said he let the dog out to go to the bathroom and the dog went missing, said Sexton, who kept Tech XX at his home. Dozens of students and residents searched for the dog, and rewards were posted.
For four days, the employee kept Tech XX's death, and location, a secret, according to the Shreveport Times.
"That employee unfortunately chose to handle it the wrong way and attempted to cover it up," Sexton said. "Due to this negligence, the employee is no longer employed by Sexton Animal Health Center."
Tech XX was owned by the school's Student Government Association, the president of which, Will Dearmon, said, "It's extremely disappointing and sad news this happened to our beloved Tech XX."
"We'll work through that in the coming days and there will be a Tech XXI, but right now our hearts are broken," he added.

text: Just got my L32C back today from a luthier in the midlands who has been challenged with a number of contributing factors in certain notes buzzing. There was a "hump" apparantly along the neck which needed some of the frets lowering a touch, all sorted. Then the wires inside also were causing some resonation from the clips, sorted. One or two other things got sorted and then the the buzzing appeared again - The only thing that seems to have come up as a bit of a strange problem is the ellipse blend pre-amp seems to be creating the buzz (not electrical) and stops when the unit is touched or the mic is moved slightly to a different spot. I manged today to get the mic in a place where the sound is good and there doesnt seem to be any more pronounced note buzz. However,it may not take much to possibly start again. Has anyone else experienced this, its almost as if the resonation inside the sound hole is causing certain pitches to vibrate against the pre-amp. Can it be shielded/insulated so it doesnt cause this to happen. The guitar has been brilliant but I guess with it being in its first year, maybe there has been some movement for it to suddenly develop all these things. Kind of wish I was able to get some Avalon hands on it.

A wheel is a device that allows heavy objects to be moved easily through rotating on an axle through its center, facilitating movement or transportation while supporting a load (mass), or performing labor in machines. Common examples found in transport applications. A wheel, together with an axle, overcomes friction by facilitating motion by rolling. In order for wheels to rotate, a moment needs to be applied to the wheel about its axis, either by way of gravity, or by application of another external force. More generally the term is also used for other circular objects that rotate or turn, such as a ship's wheel, steering wheel and flywheel.

Multiple agencies are looking into the death of a nursing home resident where police say the air conditioning was not working properly.
Eloise Arnold, 84, was a resident of Majesty Health and Rehab in Easley. She was found unresponsive Saturday night, according to Easley police.
Pickens Co. Coroner Kandy Kelley said an autopsy was conducted on Monday and heat is a possible factor in Arnold's death. However, more tests are needed to determine an exact cause.
"We have to wait for lab work and slides," Kelley told WYFF. "Two of the things we're looking for are dehydration and pneumonia."
Kelley said it could take four to six weeks to have all the answers.
Meantime, other agencies are looking for more answers about the air conditioning at the nursing home.
"She did have a breathing problem. She was on oxygen," William Murphy, Arnold's brother, told WYFF. "I wouldn't say that they were negligent until this is proven."
Police said they went to the nursing home to check up on residents after concerned family members complained about the heat. Officers said it was 91 degrees in the wing where the AC was not working. Investigators said that is 10 degrees above what state regulations allow during this time of year.
"Ms. Arnold was in distress," Major Tim Tollison told WYFF. "We have contacted the attorney general's office about this."

Hi, I came across your blog, and I thought you would be the perfect person to contact.
My name is Jay Siva, the founder of EZBuyButton.com, an easy 'buy book' widget for authors. I'm contacting you today because I think you and your readers would love to know about the EZBuyButton widget I've created.
It is the most advanced 'buy now' widget for selling books. I make it free for authors and publishers, worldwide, to quickly and easily create and use our EZBuyButton widget to place on their website or blog to immediately increase the sales of their books, especially if their books are listed for sale in more than one retail store. I made it super easy, with just a few clicks they just copy & paste a piece of code onto their website/blog, and they're done.
The widget allows website visitors to select which device they'd like to use to read the author's book, and then select their preferred retail store that they'd like to purchase the book from. It also geolocates the visitor's location and will send the visitor to the correct country specific retail store so that they can buy the author's book. The widget is also fully customizable, and the author will have access to detailed real-time statistics of the use of their widget.
I would like to invite you to visit my website, and try out the EZBuyButton widget. I hope you find that my widget will be useful to you and your readers, including all the authors, literary agents, and publishers you're in contact with.
My website is http://www.ezbuybutton.com.

Hi, Marie-Anne!
Welcome to Book Blogs! I'm Kate, a young adult author. My debut novel Taste has just been released by Crescent Moon Press last April 30, 2012.
At Barinkoff Academy, there's only one rule: no students on campus after curfew. Phoenix McKay soon finds out why when she is left behind at sunset. A group calling themselves night students threaten to taste her flesh until she is saved by a mysterious, alluring boy. With his pale skin, dark eyes, and mesmerizing voice, Demitri is both irresistible and impenetrable. He warns her to stay away from his dangerous world of flesh eaters. Unfortunately, the gorgeous and playful Luka has other plans.
When Phoenix is caught between her physical and her emotional attraction, she becomes the keeper of a deadly secret that will rock the foundations of an ancient civilization living beneath Barinkoff Academy. Phoenix doesn't realize until it is too late that the closer she gets to both Demitri and Luka the more she is plunging them all into a centuries old feud.

Burkely Hermann: Does the Environmental Movement Speak for You?
"We must reject the corporate leeches in the environmental movement: TNC, the Defenders of Wildlife, the EDF, the National Audubon Society, the NRDC, Conservation International, the Wilderness Society, the National Wildlife Federation, and the World Wildlife Fund. These organizations are basically a joke and too corrupted to fix."
"Our consumption of oil is not just material – it is not just about the functional need to travel from point A to point B. The combustion of energy-dense gasoline often accompanies cultural ideas about freedom, mobility and deeply entangled normative geographies of home, work, family, and leisure."
Kenneth Couesbouc: Future Shocks
"There is no pristine inhabitable planet to fly to and colonise – there never was, it was all a pipe-dream – and Mother Earth is turning into a junk-yard/trash-heap."
Peter Lach-Newinsky: 'We're Rational, You're Emotional', And Other Common Myths of the Nuclearists
"Nuclearists seem incapable of even imagining a world run neither with fossil fuels nor nuclear energy but with renewables, and living at much lower levels of production, consumption and waste."
Frank Smecker: Marx, Hegel, and the Era of Resource Scarcity
"Growth of modern societies = loss of resources = decline in growth and eventual collapse of modern societies. To simplify this equation even more: Growth of modern societies leads to the collapse of modern societies. And there's the conundrum."
Carl Finamore: Different Seasons of the Arab Spring: Reports from Morocco & Tunisia
"Some critics claim that the union confederation remains too far outside the political process, leaving important government issues to other social forces. This begs the question of how much influence the working class organizations that made the revolution will have on elections and the nation building process."
Michael Barker: Biodynamic Organic-Intellectuals
"Biodynamic tensions within the organic movement are longstanding, as rationally-minded critics have always argued that magical agricultural beliefs have no place in a movement aiming to make the world a better, fairer, and less toxic place. Such criticisms however hold little water with the Soil Association."
Bruce Bromley: Woolf, Cézanne, and Things
"To strain under Woolf's images is to practice, on another scale, soldiering in the world upon which her approach to the visual dilates, a world figured wrongly as a contest, with human dominance the only right victory, a world made of relations neither linear nor transparent."
Anti-welfare rhetoric, alternatives to 'austerity', disparity in India, and resistance against inequality.
The historical role of the Democrat Party, and a focus on the LBJ, Carter, Kennedy and Obama presidencies.
A range of subjects, from US foreign policy and economic austerity to Fair trade and animal theory.
Europe past and present. From ancient legacies to the EU and the French and Greek elections.
"The idea is to keep one's own oil and spend others', to make sure strategic reserves of the energy and fuel that maintain a highly mechanized society (and, more importantly, mechanized armed forces) last long after everybody else has run out of theirs."

FIFA prosecutor Michael Garcia (pictured) has formally opened investigations into bribery and financial misconduct allegations against Qatari Mohamed bin Hammam, a former presidential candidate.
FIFA said in a statement that Garcia has launched official cases after provisionally suspending Bin Hammam for 90 days last month. Garcia is studying an audit of Asian Football Confederation finances that suggests mismanagement of accounts and billion-dollar contracts under the Qatari official's leadership.
It is Garcia's first case since being appointed FIFA's independent prosecutor. Garcia will also probe claims that Bin Hammam bribed Caribbean voters while challenging FIFA President Sepp Blatter last year. The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled FIFA failed to prove the allegation and lifted Bin Hammam's life ban from soccer last month.

Bin Hammam has already been suspended for 30 days by the AFC while it investigates the latter case. Bin Hammam, who claims FIFA is pursuing a vendetta against him, challenged Sepp Blatter for the presidency of soccer's world ruling body last year.
He withdrew his candidacy, and was then provisionally suspended, days before the June election over allegations that he had tried to buy the votes of Caribbean officials by handing them $40,000 each in brown envelopes at a meeting in Port of Spain.
Blatter was subsequently re-elected unopposed for a fourth term as FIFA president.

Helping Hand Opens Doors: Career Alliance also valuable employer resource
By J. David Barron, firstname.lastname@example.com
When the Beatles were telling the world they would get by with a little help from their friends while singing "Hey Jude!" they could very well have been heralding Career Alliance -- though it certainly was unbeknownst to the Fab Four at the time.
St. Jude Church in Allen is indeed a friend the lads from Liverpool would no doubt approve.
Getting down to the nuts and bolts of helping real people in a real way is a ministry at St. Jude's called Career Alliance. The ministry focuses on the temporal as well as spiritual needs of those seeking employment, and is two-fold: It helps people looking for employment put together a comprehensive search utilizing a variety of resources -- including an exceptional support staff made up primarily of indispensable volunteers who provide both prayer and job-searching expertise. Secondly, Career Alliance is proving to be just as effective for employers looking to find a quality pool of potential employees to fill a particular business's current or upcoming job opening.
"These types of economic times can cause a lot of pain and anxiety," Church continued. "People can really go through a lot of anger, disappointment, fear, disillusionment -- just the range of emotions. So it takes a little effort to get through these emotions, and some people need a little help with that.
"But we're not just an emotional band aid," he quickly added. "The program also provides skill sets people need."
Career Alliance applies the Crossroads Careers Network Program (CrossroadsCareer.org), a proven Christian-based, 6-step program featuring experts on career exploration and job search. The program is free and open to everyone, with weekly meetings on Wednesdays from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. The meetings feature training and networking opportunities that include 1-on-1 coaching, help with selecting career direction and in writing effective resumes, interviewing preparation with specific personal guidance, help with posting resumes and searching available posts, as well as how to find any and all applicable job boards, even with tutelage on how to negotiate for salaries.
Those wanting to commit to go all the way through the program are also provided a free, 80-page in-depth career workbook. In addition, the ministry offers reference books on Metroplex-based businesses. A Directory of Human Services representing the Collin County Assistance Center is another resource made available for participants in the program.
Greg Taylor is a major in the U.S. Army Reserves who endured two tours in Afghanistan. When Taylor came home, his job as an architect was no longer available to him. But Career Alliance was. Taylor effusively credits the ministry with helping him go through the difficult times of searching for a job while not being gainfully employed. Taylor currently has a contract job at the architectural firm of O'Brien Architects.
"It gave me support from the people in the group, just hearing the things they were going through," Taylor began. "It is a good career motivational, support-type group setting. There's a lot of people there in similar circumstances with a lot of different job experiences.
"The speakers they have come, the six-step program," Taylor ticked off, listing the benefits available. "The people that work there; Jack Bick and Della Doss. They were real good at encouraging us and helping us with our search.
"They were great," Taylor said. "They absolutely gave me hope and help."
Taylor volunteered that Bick, the ministry coordinator, went over and above the call of duty.
"Jack Bick served in Vietnam, and he was really helpful to me," Taylor related. "When I first came, he sort of connected with me, and he offered to meet with me separately outside of the meetings. He sat down with me for like an hour or two at a time and went over my resume and offered suggestions. And that was real helpful."
"So many people helped me in my career," Bick modestly noted. "This was an opportunity to give back; not only in a practical way, but also in a spiritual way. That's it in a nutshell."
Doss related a recent success story that was especially gratifying. Doss, who is the director of Career Alliance, said, "Any of the men and women that come into our program and that, you know they've been struggling, and they come back and share with us that they've landed a job, that is just, you know, beyond description! And we stop and praise God every time for His faithfulness.
"But there was a certain gentleman," Doss confided when pressed, "who came for awhile and was always very supportive of the others. He even gave a financial donation. He wrote me a letter when he landed a job. I still have it on my desk. It said, 'God bless you and strengthen you in what you are doing.'
"And it really touched me that it was done immediately (after securing employment)," Doss said.
The monthly Saturday seminars from 9-11 a.m. are another aspect of the ministry Doss sees as especially enriching.
"We have guest speakers who sometimes present their own agendas," she conveyed. "And we have some wonderful professionals in the community who come and present tips and great advice to help with the job searches in general. They teach about LinkedIn, help with resume writing, talk about attitude in job searching -- those kinds of things.
"We could not have the program without wonderful volunteers to help us with their time," Doss added. "So we're always looking for volunteers and volunteer speakers to come and help."
Doss and Bick are each just as adamant about Career Alliance also proving to be an excellent aid for area businesses looking for that next reliable employee.
"Employers who would like to send their information regarding any job openings, St. Jude will be glad to post it and pass it along to our prospects," Doss said. "If they (employers) let us know their job openings, we can be a real resource for them."
Bick emphasized how much time Career Alliance can help area businesses save in their prospective employee searches.
"Instead of having to sort through 200 or even 400 applicants, we can help them find three or four highly qualified people for their jobs."
Another resource offered at Career Alliance is 1-on-1 small group settings for peer connections. Called Christ-Centered Career Groups (C3G), such meetings are designed to help people benefit from a small group that lends itself to serving one another until each member of the group is employed by providing spiritual support and shared strength throughout the oftentimes emotionally taxing career and job search experience. For more information on C3G, visit ntxcatholiccareers.org.
"It's good to be part of a solution," Father Church concluded. "Churches have an investment in the community, both spiritually as well as financially, and we want to take care of that investment.
"We are all a community of people working together."
