So far, very good value
By Father of 3 boys
from Arlington, TX
About Me Street Baller
Comments about Lifetime 90062 54 Inch Tempered Glass In-Ground Basketball System - Sports Authority Exclusive!:
I have 3 boys from 7-15 and this was replacement from last in ground goal. The assembly took 3-5 hours total. It best for help from a person and except for the handle attachment, the instructions were easy to read and understand. Though I rarely do this, I would advise identifying and laying the parts out before you start. So many are similar yet need to be used in specific components. Only had to unassemble once to replace with proper part that was essentially same size and shape but different composition. Added additonal concrete inside bottom post and the structure is pretty sound. Very heavy when trying to lift and place final assmebly onto post. Lower the goal to shortest distance and it becomes much easier for two guys to handle

No deal
By Bella
from Boston
This product looked like a great del, because they showed discount from original price. Then when I went to purchase it it was excluded from 20% promotion. I found it elsewhere for $150 cheaper. This was true of many other products as well!!!!
Good Overall System
By BBaller
from Valdosta, GA
Like the powder coat protection, but lack of material in box allows metal to metal contact resulting in minor scratches. Very tasteful look in the yard though. Goal does shake a little more than expected. Directions suggest pouring concrete into the post - above the ground approx 12" which I liked, but the shaking appears to come from the lift arms/connections. Rim is very sturdy and high quality, but don't put the bottom cover plate on until it is in the air and the slam spring is adjusted to your liking. One fault in the directions is the picture which accompanies Section 4.8. The pic doesn't show the center hole of the Pump Adjust Actuators and Cylinder below the gas shock rod. The bolt for this hole isn't installed until Section 4.10. Otherwise, very good directions. When lifting assembled system onto bottom pole, be careful of pinch points around the lift/lower arms. The Pump Adjust lift/lower system makes it very easy to change heights. Very good value at 50% off and I would reccomend it.

Great System!
By Matt
from Omaha, NE
Great system. Was packaged well, had all the parts. I agree the assembly can take some time, but can anyone really expect this to be setup in less than 30 minutes? For the reviews that complained about setup, pay someone to do it for you. Very sturdy system, everything I expected!

Decent Value But......
By Basketball in Syracuse
from Syracuse, NY
The 90062 system has great potential to satisfy the middle market needs. I was excited to see powder coat paint, glass backboard, square tube design and the overall style. After buying it, you see the negatives. It starts with the packaging. Painted parts touching, shock rolling around hitting other painted parts. This damage will be the starting point for rust. The assembly instructions are incomplete and horribly difficult to follow. Warning notes at the bottom of the page.....you see them right after something bad happens. For a company with the ability to engineer such a great product, this documentation should not be allowed. Delight the customer by fixing the packaging and instructions and this will be a winner.

Parts Missing and Poor Instructions
By name withheld by request
from San Francisco
About Me Casual/ Recreational
I have to agree with the previous review. In our case several washers were missing and the instructions are not particularly clear. This is the lowest price one I could find with these features and I am beginning to understand why. Hopefully things will be better once finish putting it together...assuming Lifetime will send them to me.

lifetime customer service is horrible!
By Spike
from Gainesville FL
[...] When they shipped the bb goal, some nuts were missing from the package, which stopped the assembly process cold. In addition, the manual and packaging for the product are awful. Nuts are packaged separately from the bolts they go with. Parts are in bags with unrelated 7 digit numbers for identification, and bags are packed inside other bags.It's taking forever to assemble and is nothing but a nuisance.

ICI vs. ETF Alternatives
ICI Description
The Barclays Capital Intelligent Carry Index™ adopts an innovative strategy to enable investors to capture returns from foreign currency markets. The index is designed to reflect the total return of an "Intelligent Carry Strategy," which, through an objective and systematic methodology, seeks to capture the returns that are potentially available from a strategy of investing in high-yielding currencies with the exposure financed by borrowings in low-yielding currencies sometimes referred to as the "carry trade." The pool of currencies to which the index may apply these strategies is commonly referred to as the "G10 currencies" and includes the U.S. dollar, the euro, the Japanese yen, the Canadian dollar, the Swiss franc, the British pound sterling, the Australian dollar, the New Zealand dollar, the Norwegian krone and the Swedish krona.

- Friday, April 26, 7:50 PM BlackRock announced it will liquidate the iShares Diversified Alternatives Trust (ALT) next month. "Based on the review and client feedback, it appears this product has a limited role in today's investment portfolios, and we have seen little long-term demand," said Patrick Dunne, head of Global Markets and Investments for BlackRock. This will be the first closure for an iShares ETF since 2002. 2 Comments
- Wednesday, February 13, 10:46 AM Guggenheim's CurrencyShares Singapore Dollar Trust (FXSG) is the 1st ETF tracking the Singapore dollar. The ETF holds foreign currency deposits rather than derivatives, rising when the U.S. dollar weakens relative to the Singapore dollar. FXSG comes with an expense ratio of 0.40% - standard for CurrencyShares ETFs, but cheaper than other currency ETFs UUP (0.50%), CEW (0.55%), INR (0.55%), BZF (0.45%), CNY (0.55%), ERO (0.40%) and ICI (0.65%).

- Wednesday, July 13, 2011, 6:27 PM Investors should look to South America for the next big payoff on carry trades, says Siobhan Morden at RBS Securities. She bucks conventional wisdom by suggesting trades that short Brazil, and go long underrated countries like Chile, Peru, Columbia and Uruguay. 2 Comments [Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, January 10, 2011, 1:18 PM Top forex forecasters are coming together on one point: 2011 will be the dollar's year, as QE2 nets out more positive for the economy than it is devaluing to the currency. Wells Fargo's head strategist expects the greenback to gain 5% against the euro and 11% vs. yen. 6 Comments [Global & FX]
- Sunday, October 3, 2010, 10:26 AM Restoring Sino-Japanese trust "at a practical level" will be complex, Japan's No.2 minister says. "I am not pessimistic, but neither am I optimistic." Recent disputes have furthered concerns about the risks contingent on China's growing economic clout, specifically, "to what extent does China share the common rules and values of international society?" 4 Comments
- Friday, October 1, 2010, 7:44 AM Japan's fiscal situation is unsustainable given its huge public debt, and Tokyo remains committed to curb a rise in the yen, PM Naoto Kan said this morning in a speech opening the first parliament session. Kan also hinted at further easing during the BOJ's policy meeting next week. Earlier today, Japan said core consumer prices fell for the 18th straight month in August. 2 Comments
- Tuesday, September 28, 2010, 6:15 PM Outspoken iconoclast Hugh Hendry takes a massive $2B bet that Asia will hit the skids. "At these immense levels of yen strength, Japan is bankrupt," he says. "And because it's deemed to be impossible, the trade is actually asymmetric. By golly if I am right, I can make a lot of money." 14 Comments
- Monday, September 27, 2010, 8:19 AM Japan export growth slowed for the sixth straight month in August, underscoring Japan's recent moves to weaken the yen, and prompting speculation that the BOJ will ease already ultra-loose monetary policy next week. Exports rose 15.8% Y/Y, short of the 19% gain economists expected, and well below 2010's peak of 45.3% in February. Comment!
- Saturday, September 25, 2010, 3:31 PM The China/Japan row over the detained trawler captain isn't over yet. After Mr. Zhan's release this morning, tensions flared after China demanded an apology and Japan balked, calling its actions "appropriate and calm." The incident has already affected business ties between the nations' intertwined economies. 3 Comments
- Friday, September 24, 2010, 7:42 AM Japan will release a Chinese sea captain who has been in custody since a collision in contested waters triggered a flare up in the countries' relationship - amid signs that the dispute has been spreading to bilateral business relations. Experts say Japan and other U.S. allies are taking a harder line on territorial issues as a part of a U.S.-backed strategy to stand up to an increasingly powerful China. Comment!
- Wednesday, September 22, 2010, 2:44 PM President Obama receives just 30% approval in Bloomberg's Global poll, roughly in-line with equally uninspiring French counterpart Sarkozy and Japan's Kan. Chinese President Hu Jintao's economic policies were viewed favorably by 58%, while Germany's Markel garned a sky-high 70% favorability rating among investors. 6 Comments
- Wednesday, September 22, 2010, 8:50 AM Japan fires back at Beijing, saying it will "respond appropriately" after verifying China's activities with regard to a disputed gas field in the East China Sea. (earlier) 3 Comments
- Wednesday, September 22, 2010, 8:16 AM China Premier Wen Jiabao threatens more retaliatory action unless Japan "immediately and unconditionally" releases the trawler captain accused of deliberately colliding with a Japanese coastguard ship near disputed islands in the East China Sea. The dispute is being closely watched by other Asian countries and the U.S., who have growing concerns about China's expanding naval power. 3 Comments
- Friday, July 30, 2010, 8:22 AM China overtakes Japan to become the world's second-largest economy, the fruit of three decades of rapid growth. Depending on how fast the yuan is allowed to rise, China could overtake the U.S. and vault into the No.1 spot by 2025. 1 Comment
- Tuesday, June 29, 2010, 4:40 AM Meanwhile, in Japan, industrial output fell by 0.1% after rising 1.3% in April (consensus: -0.1%); the jobless rate worsened to 5.2% from 5.1% (consensus: 5%); and household spending declined 0.7% (consensus: +0.5%). (via) Comment!

I'm walking....sort of
by Ginger Martin
posted May 14 2013 10:12AM
Here is my ankle update for this month. It's been 11 weeks since my ankle surgery and I just started physical therapy a couple of weeks ago. Finally I can see some improvement and light at the end of the tunnel. I have a walking boot or walking cast....whatever you want to call it and I am to the point now where I can walk using that without the assitance of crutches. I don't walk very well without assistance but I am supposed to do around the house for practice. When I'm out and about I was using my crutches or just one crutch to help me walk with the boot. Yesterday at PT my therapist told me to finally ditch the crutches and she handed me a cane. I just stared at her for a second and was tempted to make a geriatric comment but I know she probably hears them ALL THE TIME so I refrained. I still feel double my age using it. However, using a cane to walk is much better than using a crutch. I can almost race someone down the hall now.
So, it's progress. Slow progress but progress. Monday I have an appointment to have a couple of the big screws removed so I can regain a better range of motion. That procedure will set me back a week or two but I feel encouraged that I am finally walking...however limited it may be.

The Projected End Balance total of $5,912,279 includes $4,519.242 from the general fund, $1,101,609 from special revenue and $291,428 from fiduciary.
The School Fiscal Accountability Act requires that a board of education develop a plan to establish and maintain a minimum reserve fund equal to one month's operating expenses.
The projected reserve at the close of 2012-2013 fiscal year is $4.5 million, which is 1.84 months of operating expenses.
"Mrs. Cunningham, first of all, thank you for your hard work and dedication to our system," said Brian Johnson, superintendent, Cherokee County Schools. "I can tell you Mrs. Cunningham spends a lot of hours late at night, early in the morning here."
"I would also like to thank this board of education for always keeping our school system in good financial standing," said Johnson. "That is not always easy during these tough financial times. Thank you for what you have done for our system."
With Johnson's recommendation, the board approved the budget for fiscal year 2012-2013.

Poulsbo is on its way to being an 'e-city' | In Our Opinion
January 25, 2013 · 2:23 PM
Poulsbo has been known by several names.
The Suquamish people called it tcutcu lats.
The City of Poulsbo has "Viking City" on its logo.
Poulsbo residents know their city as Little Norway.
In the near future, Poulsbo may be widely known by another moniker: E-City.
The Kitsap Public Utilities District is building a wireless canopy over downtown, with the goal of expanding that canopy over the entire city. That means, free wireless access to the Internet.
The economic potential of such access is as broad as the imagination: More employment opportunities through telecommuting. More e-commerce. More new-business development. Emergence of new providers that could capitalize on rebroadcasting the signal, extending wireless service to a broader area.
To say a wireless canopy is a worthy investment is an understatement. According to the state Department of Commerce, gross business income from broadband-enabled e-shopping in Washington topped $3.1 billion in 2011. Also, 98.7 percent of the state's residents live in areas where broadband is available, 83 percent live in households with Internet access and 73.8 percent regularly use their home broadband connection.)
We hope that other public agencies look for ways to partner with the public utility district to make a regional wireless canopy a reality. This is a timely venture as well, and one that Poulsbo and Kitsap County need to stay competitive in the economic opportunities they provide and in the quality of life they offer.
Because of the work of public and private broadband providers, more than 500 of the Washington's 629 Census-designated communities saw increased access to broadband through wireline and/or wireless providers in 2012. Washington is now 10th in the nation for broadband access at 3 Mbps and third in broadband adoption.
"These statistics are encouraging and the result of some great work across the public and private sectors," said Rogers Weed, director of the Department of Commerce. "Washington will need to continually improve its technology infrastructure to keep its place as a national innovation leader."
The state and communities are making serious investments in "getting wired." The state awarded $300,000 in grants to five organizations or public agencies — including a port district and a regional council of governments — to identify barriers to broadband access, develop private and public partnerships, and implement solutions. Amazing things are happening. One community is using expanded broadband access to improve economic development, public safety, tourism, research and educational opportunities over a two-county area.
And now, free Internet access is available anywhere in downtown Poulsbo. It's only the start of something big. Read the Herald's story, "Wi-Fi project could be start of something big."

I have a layout to share that I made for the April 1st challenge at Once Upon A...Sketch. There's a beautiful sketch, and the journaling prompt is "Home." I started sifting through a pile of pictures that I've had sitting on my desk, and this one stood out to me. I have scrapped this one (or one very similar) before, but I felt this perfectly portrayed my idea of "home." We have moved 3 times in the last 2.5 years, and we do not own our home, so it really isn't ours. But I have learned that we adapt, and make wherever it is we settle, feel like home, because we are together and we are happy, and that is what "home" is, to me.
Thanks for taking a look, have a great afternoon!!!

Founded in 2002, the Polaris Project has been fighting to protect the rights of women and prevent enslavement worldwide. Over the past ten years, the Polaris Project has led the battle against human trafficking and forced prostitution of women, which is currently one of the most common and lucrative illegal industries globally. Women all across the world and right here in America are being forced into sex work as prostitutes and strippers. The problem is especially rampant in Detroit, Chicago and St. Paul. Polaris Project aims to end this ever-growing issue. Through policy advocacy, strategic campaigning, public outreach, and victim assistance programs, Polaris Project hopes to alleviate and bring awareness to human trafficking both nationally and throughout the world.
Through their local offices in Washington, D.C. and New Jersey, the organization offers complete specialized clinical services to victims. In addition, Polaris Project administers a national 24-hour hotline for victims.
The Polaris Project has also sponsored and convened the First Annual Human Trafficking Training for Community Collaboration. This year's event will take place in Whippany, New Jersey on March 30th from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Cost of attendance for this very important cause is only $35, with all proceeds going to benefit the victims of human trafficking. Go here now to get your ticket and help fight this worthy cause!

This classic wooden toy was first introduced in 1948 - and has been a children's favorite ever since. Selected by Parents Magazine as a Best Toy, the set's 9 large beads are a perfect fit for wee fingers and a great inspiration for inventing entertaining games (that also develop manual dexterity and eye-hand coordination). Painted bright, nontoxic colors, the beads offer toddlers many enjoyable hours of stringing and stacking. Made in the USA. In 1789, Cornelius Holgate established a woodworking shop outside Philadelphia. His first products were hearth brushes and feather duster handles. In 1929, the Holgate Company became a pioneer in researching and developing educational toys for children. Norman Rockwell's brother, Jarvis, served as chief toy designer through the mid 1960s, and when Mr. (Fred) Rogers was looking for a company to create his Neighborhood Trolley, he turned to Holgate. Holgate uses the finest American hardwoods to make their toys - each is carefully cut, sanded, and finished to exceed all toy safety standards set forth by the Consumer Product Safety Commission in the US. For ages 2-4 years. Large beads are a perfect fit for wee fingers Helps develop eye-hand coordination Hours of stringing and stacking fun! Made in the USA For ages 2-4 years Size Beads 2" tall and 1-1/2" dia. Cord 28"

Lacing beads for little ones
By teacher mom

About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children
Best Uses
Comments about HearthSong Jumbo Lacing Beads:
Great toy! So excited to find lacing beads for little ones. Most others are for ages 3+. These are a nice size for toddler hands, though my almost 2 year old likes to put her fingers into holes - haven't gotten stuck yet! She does need help holding durable string as she puts the beads on. We are enjoying them!

Great Toy for Toddlers
By momoftwinsplus1
from Seattle, WA
About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Multiples (Twins etc), Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
Bought two of these for the 2 year old children of friends. The description says 2+ but the package says 18 months and up but I'd say the age appropriateness of the toy is better suited for two year olds. Large, wooden beads and a chunky string makes this the best starter set of beads for small hands. Made in the U.S.A and a wonderful educational toy to encourage fine motor skills and focus in your little child.

The Rules of the Tunnel
My Brief Period of Madness
A journalist faces his toughest assignment: profiling himself as he struggles with mood disorders, memory, shock treatment therapy, and the quest to get back to normal. Twenty-five million Americans suffer from clinical depression. But Ned Zeman never thought he'd be one of them. He had a great life and thriving career at Vanity Fair.Then, at age thirty-two, anxiety and depression gripped Zeman with increasing violence and consequences. He experimented with therapist after therapist, medication after medication, hospital after hospital—including McLean Hospital, the facility famed for its treatment of writers, from Sylvia Plath to Susanna Kaysen to David Foster Wallace. Zeman eventually went further by trying electroconvulsive therapy, aka shock treatment.By the time it was over, Zeman had lost nearly two years' of memory. He was a reporter with amnesia. He had no choice but to start from scratch, to reassemble the pieces of a life he didn't remember and, increasingly, didn't want to.By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, profane and hopeful, The Rules of the Tunnel is a guttural shout of a book that defies conventional notions about mood disorders, unlocks mysteries within mysteries, and proves that sometimes everything you're looking for is right in front of you. Why did you decide to write The Rules of the Tunnel? I didn't do much deciding at all. I just started writing the thing -- in journal form, essentially. I didn't think 'book' until I'd written several thousand words. This was something like nine months following ECT. My motivations were many. I needed to pull together the pieces of a story I didn't remember. The more I learned, the worse I felt about some of the things I'd done. So I wanted to come clean. Also, I was reacting to some of the countless Memoirs of Depression out there. Too many of them, I thought, were either romanticized or depressing. On a brighter note, I was motivated by gratitude; in some ways, the book is a thank you note to the poor, gullible souls who saved my ass. My final motivation is the same one shared by all writers: I had a story to tell. Why would someone as (self-described) self-conscious as you reveal the most private details about yourself? Because the opposite approach wasn't working. I'd spent a lifetime trying to avoid being "found out" -- and look where that got me. The less I said, over the years, the more self-conscious I became. That's the trend for people with mood disorders or social anxiety disorders. Everything just seems so embarrassing, so ripe for ridicule and shame that you try to control the flow of information. You become your own little Kremlin. In the end, though, the strategy fails; it only makes you more isolated, depressed, and anxious. Everyone wants to be heard and understood. I was having trouble doing this in increments. So I figured 'Ah, well, might as well swing for the fences. What have I got to lose?' How do you write about anxiety and depression without getting anxious and depressed? You don't. Not entirely. Writing, in any form, is torture. Writing this book was, at times, misery. Parts of the story are so embarrassing; they made me want to flee to Canada. Other parts just made me sad. On the other hand, there's a reason why I -- and so many other nervous types -- write for a living. Writing is a solitary, quiet, inward vocation. It's the way we connect with the outside world. And, believe me; writing about the stress of cocktail parties is far less stressful than the cocktail parties themselves. Did you worry about offending others who suffer from mood disorders? I worry about offending my cats. So, yes, I'm aware that some people may resent my tone, or my lack of decorum, or whatever. And my response about that is: If you're a depressive, and you want to stay that way, go read The Bell Jar. God only knows how many readers Sylvia Plath sent over the edge. I like to think that most readers of my book will understand that I'm not making sport of mood disorders or the people who suffer them. They're my people. And I think I'm representative of many of them. Too often, moodies are portrayed as fragile, mirthless sad-sacks who turn to dust at the slightest offense. Now that's offensive. Most moodies I know are so sick of people tiptoeing around them. And, believe me; they own the copyright on gallows humors. One of the moodies I write about in the book, George Trow, deemed himself a founding member of a club called Insane Anonymous. He was the toast of the asylum. And I love him for that. What parts were you most reluctant to include in the book? The parts that involved the private lives of others. For example: I write about two of my ex-girlfriends, and some of that stuff is touchy and intimate. So I was constantly worried that I might be adding salt to wounds or invading privacy. Early in the process -- once I thought I might show my rambling to the world -- I went to all the concerned parties, explained what I was doing, and solicited their thoughts. I was frankly shocked by how open and helpful everyone was; most people were just excited to be part of a book, and were happy as long as I didn't criticize their haircuts or call them fat. There are some interesting parallels between you and some of the people you profile for Vanity Fair. Did you see those connections at the time of the profiles or did it take looking back to make that leap? Like most reporters, I consistently thought I understood more than I did. The whole process was paint-by-numbers. Early on, while profiling the first two guys -- the photographer Bruno Zehnder and the talent agent Jay Moloney -- I was not unaware that we shared certain things in common. They were depressed. I was depressed. So that fed my curiosity and empathy. At the same time, though, a large part of me thought of those guys as freak shows. I got it, but I didn't get it. I remained somewhat clueless even as I profiled the writer George Trow, who himself had been a profile writer. I didn't really see the full picture until it was very late in the game. Maybe, if I'd been a bit more self-aware during the process, things would have turned out differently. You have some very loyal friends all described in the book. Have they read it yet? What is their take? They've read it, yes. Initially, after I finished the first draft, I showed them only the sections that pertained to them. I pretty much had to, for fact-checking reasons. Such is the process of the amnesiac reporter. Then, gradually, I showed them more and more. This part wasn't as stressful as I thought it would be. A large part of the book hinges on material culled directly from my friends; in many ways, they knew the story better than I did. So, aside from little factual quibbles, everything went smoothly. Probably their biggest collective criticism is that I'm too hard on myself. Then I remind them of the shit I pulled. Then they reconsider. The most stressful period came when I showed the book to my mother. I was visiting her in Michigan at the time. So I spent the weekend watching my mother read a book about my descent into madness. The book, in the end, pleased her. But I aged twenty years in the process. The relationships you have in the book are particularly raw. Was it hard going back to those times in your life? Yes and no. Every day, while piecing the story together, I'd come across yet another mortifying tidbit I'd forgotten due to amnesia, denial, or both. So that was fun. But it wasn't as if I'd put everything behind me, only to reopen old wounds the day I started writing. The whole mess stuck with me. I just couldn't remember the details -- and, frankly, that was the worst part. So, really, the book helped me organize my thoughts, reconcile everything, and try to put it behind me. I haven't totally succeeded in the latter. But I'm okay with most of it. Or, at least, okay with being mortified. You admit that you lost a great deal of memory due to ECT. How did you go about doing research for this memoir? By doing the one thing I'm trained to do. I had to report the story as if I were preparing a profile of someone else. My recollections were few and flawed -- I was the most unreliable interview subject I'd ever met. I interviewed (and interviewed) the friends and relatives who saw me through The Forgotten Year. And these people were freakishly reliable. They documented the whole thing, in real time -- emails, letters, and medical records. Without their assistance, my book would be a haiku. How do you feel about ECT now? Would you recommend it for someone in a similar situation? I'd never make that judgment. That's for a doctor to decide. What I will say, first, is that ECT is a modern, legitimate, and vital treatment option. It can be a life-saver. Anyone who says otherwise has spent too much time watching Frances. But I'll also say that ECT is not as innocuous as some of its proponents would have you believe. Memory loss and mental impairment, however temporary, are no small things. ECT did not work for me; it worked against me. But I was not the norm. I was just unlucky. ECT brought a friend of mine back from a very dark place. So, again, I believe in it, in a caveat emptor sort of way. |

CD (Item 511065) Blue Note, 2002 — Condition: Used
Angular modernism from altoist Greg Osby – kind of a blend of the more soulful styles of his earlier Blue Note albums with some of the New Directions styles he's been exploring in recent years. Notable on the album are pianist Jason Moran and vibist Stefon Harris – both of whom really add a lot to the record, cutting out patterns of sound that remind us a lot of "new thing" work by Bobby Hutcherson and Andrew Hill, pushing Osby's horn into complicated lines of expression. Titles include "Equalatogram", "Diary Of The Same Dream", "Entruption", "Stride Logic", and "Sons Of The Confidential". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

00Needs to be doneTime Bandit"Cardin said the reductions would result in the loss of about 36,000 civilian positions and thousands more in contractor staff." I used to be a defense contractor for the Navy from 2000-2010 before I was laid off, last 5 years was at the WNY in DC. As much as I loved working for the Navy, I don't blame DoD for having to cut back. I am not taking either side since I saw my share of redundancy on both ends, people getting pay checks and doing absolutely nothing to earn it. I also saw an increase in hiring those with degrees, even if they had zero experience in Navy work, their degree had nothing to do with the job or they were friends & family. I don't have a degree, thereby not making as much but that didn't stop me from going into work and doing my job. When asked, I offered suggestions to my company to streamline work, I was told they were wanting to create more work..not take it away. All in all, I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work for the Navy.34593{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0ummJHuntNot saying we don't have some deadwood around here but where are we going to cut? Our ofice has been short staffed for years. Every other month it seems they look to cut more. Seriously we are now short 5 employees.... and ours is a typical office. Where are all these jobs going to be cut from? The DoD no longer has any admin support. We have no mid-level people... you are either a 7 and below or 13 and above. I think a better idea would be to steamline things. It takes too long just to order a paperclip.

Teaching with social media in classroom settings: Top ten practices from teachers around Europe

This brochure presents the 10 best practices from the "Teachers' competition for social media use in formal language learning contexts", run throughout 2011. Now that we have highlighted current good practices through the competition, this special publication is about to share these deserving and admirable practices with a broader audience. We hope that this publication will be of interest to teachers, educators, parents and pupils sharing good practices in the use of social media in classroom settings.
perhaps to the extent of not being recognised as an excellent teacher jocuri cu bile
Whilst I agree and support your descriptions of the nature and behaviour of the excellent teacher you must also consider the environment in which that or any other teacher operates (http://www.portedeurope.org). Place a creative, innovative teacher into a highly regulated, prescriptive and consequence based environment as you will be rewarded with a mediocre teacher at best and an ineffective teacher in the worst case. An excellent teacher can be limited by the environment in which they work and suffer greatly as a result, perhaps to the extent of not being recognised as an excellent teacher!

The GUI that we can create using Spring ROO will NOT be looking nice even if we customize it. And the .jspx files are not compactable with mobile browers also.
Is there any way that we can make HTML 5 with JQUERY (supported by mobile browsers) to interact with a SERVICE LAYER which will interact with spring code.
This will make the GUI completely independent of the code and this allows us to create user friendly and eye catching GUI.
1) Is it possible to achieve? HOW?
2) Can we use JSON to interchange data? Any other suggestions?
Thanks and Regards,
Privin Thomas

Author: Naoki Yamamoto | Artist: Naoki Yamamoto
Chapters: 12 | Updated: Nov 25 2008 | Status:
Summary: Suekichi Terayama is a college student with a lot on his mind. He prefers his behind-the-scenes work with the avant-garde theater troupe Bondage Horse to his studies (probably because he has a crush on the troupe's leader, Miss Shimomura). The thing is, his great-grandfather has just died and left him an inheritance of 450 million yen... on the condition that he graduate from college and start a career. Then there's Aya, the very sexy woman he finds in his bed the morning after the funeral and who proceeds to force her way into Suekichi's life. He's pretty sure she's only after his inheritance, but her frequent seductions are impossible for him to resist. Add a theater-loving yakuza, the great-grandfather's lawyer, Aya's ex-husband and the pretty young Miyuki to the mix, and Suekichi's life seems destined to spin out of control.

Australia got their Rugby Championship campaign back on track with a 26-19 win over South Africa in Perth. Planet Rugby rates the players.
15 Kurtley Beale: Played conservatively by kicking and passing most of the balls that came his way. Had a steady outing and although he's still some way off his best, this was a much better performance than his last start in a Wallabies jersey. 6/10
14 Dom Shipperley: The debutant did what was expected of an international wing and after a nervy start got more involved in the action as the game progressed. Will be satisfied with his effort especially on defence where kept the potentially dangerous Francois Hougaard in check. 7/10
13 Adam Ashley-Cooper: Kept the Springboks busy when he had the ball in hand and put in another solid display on defence. Saved a try when he first tackled Lwazi Mvovo and then Jean de Villers in quick succession. 7.5/10
12 Berrick Barnes: Like most of his team-mates he improved as the match progressed and gave another excellent goal-kicking display. Varied his play well on attack and combined well with Quade Cooper on his inside. 7.5/10
11 Digby Ioane: As usual he was always looking for work but did not get much opportunities on attack. Had a quiet game by his standards and will look to improve in his next match. 6/10
10 Quade Cooper: Improving with every match but still not at his best. Impressed with his kicking out of hand and did well to create space for his his team-mates to run off him. 7/10
9 Will Genia: Led his side well although he left the field with an injury after 70 minutes. Always probing around the fringes of the rucks and mauls and made the assist that led to Australia's first try. 7.5/10
8 Radike Samo: Made little impact in this match and seldom got his hands on the ball which is why he was chosen for this Test. Put in a good hit on Hougaard. 5/10
7 Michael Hooper: Australia's best player. Impressed at the breakdowns and put in a huge effort on defence, making 11 tackles. Also carried the ball well and very effective in the tight-loose.8.5/10
6 Dave Dennis: Much better showing than previous matches. Won several crucial line-outs and worked hard in the tight exchanges. 6.5/10
5 Nathan Sharpe: Made a shocking start by conceding penalties at will but improved gradually. His experience proved invaluable for the Wallabies especially in the latter stages. 6/10
4 Sitaleki Timani: Another solid display as the team's enforcer. Cleaned the rucks well and also put his body on the line with some big tackles before exiting through injury. 7/10
3 Ben Alexander: Got the match-winning try but also kept Beast Mtawariria in check at the scrums. Also defended well, making eight tackles. 7.5/10
2 Tatafu Polota-Nau: Stood up well to the physical onslaught from the South Africans, giving as good as he got. His effort in the scrums must not be underestimated. 7/10
1 Benn Robinson: Solid effort in the tight exchanges. Did his primary duties well but came off in the first half before returning late in the game. 6/10
16 Saia Fainga'a: Didn't play long enough for a rating.
17 James Slipper: Came on for Robinson during the first half and played well, especially in the scrums. Also defended bravely but conceded two crucial penalties. 7/10
18 Scott Higginbotham: Made the biggest impact off the bench, scoring with his first touch of the ball. Won valuable metres with ball in hand and played a huge part in the Wallabies' fightback. 7.5/10
19 Liam Gill: Solid effort during his 15 minutes on the field. Combined well with Hooper to slow down the Springboks' ball at the breakdowns. 6/10
20 Nick Phipps: Didn't play long enough to warrant a rating.
21 Mike Harris: Didn't play long enough to warrant a rating.
22 Anthony Fainga'a: Didn't play long enough to warrant a rating.

garlic noodles $1.68 recipe / $0.42 serving
Today I made my first visit to our local Vietnamese grocery store where I picked up a couple basic sauces to add to my well stocked kitchen. One of the sauces I bought was an oyster sauce ($1.99 for 18 oz.) which is an excellent condiment for anything from noodles or rice to fish and meat. Oyster sauce gives these garlic noodles a little Asian flair and a lot of depth of flavor. The noodles also have a great balance of salty (from soy sauce) and sweet (from brown sugar) making them a great compliment to any main dish. If you don't have an Asian grocery store in your town, check your local grocers as well. Oyster sauce is more common than you'd think!Total Recipe cost: $1.68
Servings Per Recipe: 4
Cost per serving: $0.42
Prep time: 5 min. Cook time: 10 min. Total: 15 min.
8 oz. (1/2 lb.) | angel hair pasta | $0.54 |
4 cloves | minced garlic | $0.24 |
1/2 bunch | green onions | $0.17 |
4 Tbsp | butter | $0.52 |
2 tsp | soy sauce | $0.02 |
2 Tbsp | brown sugar | $0.05 |
1 tsp | sesame oil | $0.04 |
2 Tbsp | oyster sauce | $0.10 |
STEP 1: In a large pot, bring water to a boil to cook the noodles according to the directions on the box (enough water to cover noodles, boil for approximately 5 minutes).
STEP 2: While the pasta cooks, mince the garlic and chop the green onions. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbly, add the garlic and onions and saute until they are soft but not browned.
STEP 3: While the pasta, garlic and onions are cooking, mix the oyster sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil together in a bowl.
STEP 4: Once the pasta is done cooking, drain it in a colander. Remove the skillet with the sauteed garlic and green onions from the heat. Add the drained pasta and oyster sauce mixture to the skillet and stir well to coat the pasta. If your pasta is stiff or sticky making it hard to stir, mix in a small amount (1/4 cup or less) of hot water to loosen them up.
NOTE: I garnished my noodles with some left over green onions and a couple sesame seeds although neither is necessary. Everyone likes a different ratio of sweet to salty so taste your noodles after mixing them in the sauce to see if you prefer more soy sauce or brown sugar.
A word of warning... be careful with these noodles because they are addictive! While shooting the photos and cleaning up the kitchen I found myself grabbing bite after bite until my stomach wanted to explode. Be careful.
My purchases from the Vietnamese Grocery store:
rice noodles $1.49
chili garlic paste $2.19
oyster sauce $1.99
fish sauce $1.19
sweet chili sauce $2.49
All of these sauces are "staples" and are only needed in small quantities in recipes meaning they'll last a long LONG time!
UPDATE: The Walmart Neighborhood Market that I was just at had oyster sauce, sesame oil and about 3 or 4 different kinds of sweet chili sauce while the Super Walmart I was at last week had no oyster sauce or sweet chili sauce. So, if you don't have an Asian grocery store, be sure to check all of your markets because even if they are the same company, their stock can very from location to location!
