two grate tastes that taste grate together.
Co-worker 1: When I see a beautiful woman at a bar, of course I want to buy her a drink. But that's not how it really should work. So I tell her, "I want to want to buy you a drink, but I should actually be buying your mother a drink. And your daddy. Because they're the ones who made you so fine."
Co-worker 2 (might have been me): When you've used this approach, co-worker, and you've said, in essence, "Hey shorty, you're attractive, but imma disregard all that because I want to buy your mama and daddy a drank, despite their not being present at this time while you stand before me being beautiful," how well does it turn out for you?
Co-worker 1 pauses, reflects.: It doesn't go well.
Co-worker 2: I'll say this, though. It's better than offering to buy a drink for her plastic surgeon.

Four-in-Ten Workers Feel That They Don't Fit in With Their Colleagues, Finds New CareerBuilder Survey
CHICAGO, January 26, 2010 - Do your co-workers' crazy antics make you question how you fit in at your current job? According to a new CareerBuilder survey, four-in-ten (39 percent) workers said they feel that they don't fit in with their colleagues. The survey was conducted between November 5 and November 23, 2009, among more than 4,900 workers.
Comparing genders, more women (42 percent) than men (37 percent) report that they feel they don't always fit in with their cube mates. When it comes to industries, health care, sales and professional and business services top the fields where workers feel that they don't fit in with their colleagues, followed by leisure/hospitality and IT.
Workers shared some of the craziest things their co-workers have done on the job:
* Co-worker ate the cheese off the pizza box at a company meeting.
* Co-worker talks openly about flatulence.
* Co-worker in the cubicle next to me wears 3-D glasses with the lenses removed.
* Co-worker repeatedly bangs a mallet on the table for no apparent reason.
* Co-worker whistles 8 hours a day.
* Co-worker chews tobacco and spits it into empty soda bottles.
* Former boss brought a baby sippy cup to a meeting and started drinking out of it.
* Co-worker cleaned fingernails using a counterpart's business card while sitting in their office.
Hey, CareerBuilder survey respondents:
Sippy cups?
That all you got?

Re: The Three Fund Portfolio
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 12:09 am
This is a really good point. After lots of reading and discussion my husband and I decided to move toward a three-fund portfolio with Vanguard's VTIAX, VBTLX, and VTSAX at the core. But we both have concerns about investing all of our retirement savings with Vanguard. "Bogle has another heart attack and who knows but everyone left at Vanguard may turn into the next Bernie Madoff!" my better half likes to warn. So we're thinking about spreading things among the index funds at Schwab and Fidelity. There's been some discussion about that here on Bogleheads, and consensus seems to be that most don't think there's enough of a risk to warrant using multiple fund families. But we've not yet been able to come to a decision about this.rohitj wrote:You still have institutional risk. If vanguard screws up their algorithms for buying / selling / balancing, you're pretty much screwed. Just not worth the risk to me -- I'd rather have 8 or 10 funds spread between 2 or 3 trusted institutions.

Seven Marines killed in Nevada training blast
March 19. 2013 9:25AM
(Reuters) - Seven U.S. Marines were killed and seven people injured during a training exercise at a military ammunition storage facility in western Nevada, U.S. military officials said Tuesday.
The explosion occurred Monday at 10 p.m. PDT during a Marine training exercise at the Hawthorne Army Depot in western Nevada, said facility manager Russ Collier.
Victims were airlifted to Renown Regional Medical Center with injuries that included penetration trauma, fractures and vascular injuries, said Stacy Kendall, a spokeswoman for the medical center.
Some news reports indicated that a traffic accident may have preceded the explosion.
The Marines were from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, a spokeswoman said.
The cause of the explosion remains under investigation, said Marine Lt. Col. Neil Murphy Jr.
Hawthorne Army Depot, about 135 miles south of Reno, is a 147,000-acre site used for the storage and destruction of demilitarized ammunition.
It was first established as a naval staging area for bombs, rockets and ammunition, and was used by the U.S. Navy during most of World War II. The facility was transferred to the Army in 1977.
"We send our prayers and condolences to the families of Marines involved in this tragic incident," said Marine Maj. Gen. Raymond Fox in a statement. "We mourn their loss, and it is with heavy hearts we remember their courage and sacrifice."
The names of the dead and injured will be released following notification of their families.
The accident follows a week after a U.S. military plane assigned to a Washington state Naval Air Station crashed during a routine training flight, killing all three crew members on board.

In case you've been hibernating in a cave, The Sunshine State has taken over the world of basketball.
Of the 16 teams remaining in the NCAA men's tournament, three hail from Florida, while the Miami Heat extended its historic winning streak to 27 games last night, now just six shy of matching the NBA's all-time mark of 33 set by the Los Angeles Lakers during the 1971-72 season.
For the millions that filled out brackets last week, selecting the Hurricanes (University of Miami) and Gators (University of Florida) to advance to the Sweet 16 was a relatively common theme considering their seeding as a No. 2 and No. 3, respectively.
And then there was that other team no one had ever heard of prior to Friday's stunning upset of second-seeded Georgetown.
Transforming from unknown to overnight sensation, Florida Gulf Coast has officially taken on the role as this year's Cinderella.
After knocking off the Hoyas, FGCU continued its storybook run on Sunday by defeating San Diego State to become the first No. 15 seed to reach the Sweet 16 in tournament history.
According to ESPN, of the 8.15 million brackets filled out on ESPN.com, roughly 1 percent picked FGCU to remain alive past last weekend.
Just as surprising as the Eagles' improbable success is the local connection to head coach Andy Enfield, a native of nearby Shippensburg.
While FGCU continues to steal the national spotlight throughout the week, here is a look at Enfield's journey through the ranks.
— Well-chronicled for his marriage to former supermodel Amanda Marcum, Enfield played high school ball for the Greyhounds and graduated valedictorian of the Class of '87.
— The now 43-year-old went on to become a standout at John Hopkins University, where he still holds the school's scoring record (2,025 points) and set the NCAA record for career free-throw shooting percentage (92.5%).
— His knowledge of the game translated into assistant coaching stints with the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics, working under Mike Dunleavy and Rick Pitino.
— Enfield then took time away from the game to help with the development of TractManager, a software firm devoted to contract management in the health care industry.
— After cashing in on his investment, reportedly for millions of dollars, Enfield returned to coaching in 2006 as an assistant at Florida State under Leonard Hamilton.
— In March of 2011, Enfield accepted the head coaching job at FGCU, taking over a program that played its first Division I basketball game in 2007 and has only been eligible for the NCAA tournament the last two seasons.
— Located in Fort Myers, Florida Gulf Coast was founded in 1991 and enrolled its first class of students in 1997.
Needless to say, both the university and Enfield have come quite a long way.
The high-flying Eagles (26-10), champions of the Atlantic Sun Conference tournament, will look to continue taking the nation by storm on Friday night when they face in-state opponent Florida at 10 p.m.

Bipartisan group of U.S. senators details sweeping immigration planBy JAMES ROSEN and WILLIAM DOUGLAS
McClatchy Newspapers
January 28. 2013 11:51PM
WASHINGTON - A bipartisan group of eight prominent senators Monday laid out an ambitious overhaul of the nation's patchwork immigration system that would balance tougher border enforcement with creating a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants and new opportunities for seasonal farmworkers to gain legal status.
The senators beat President Barack Obama to the punch, scrambling to unveil their plan a day before Obama was scheduled to outline his own proposal in Nevada, a Western state with a rising tide of Hispanic residents.
While only in his first term, the star of the senators' group was Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, a charismatic Cuban-American who has tied his political fortunes and a potential 2016 White House run to his dramatic life story as the son of political refugees from Fidel Castro.
The high-powered group also included the second- and third-ranked Senate Democrats, Richard Durbin of Illinois and Charles Schumer of New York, along with 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain of Arizona and Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolinian with a reputation as a maverick willing to work across party lines on tough issues. Democratic Sens. Robert Menendez of New Jersey, also of Cuban descent, and Michael Bennet of Colorado joined the group, as did Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, just starting his first Senate term.
President George W. Bush, McCain, Graham and the late Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts led the last major push to pass an immigration overhaul, but it failed in June 2007 after a bitter fight that tied up the Senate for weeks.
But the 2012 presidential election results have altered the political landscape. Obama defeated Republican nominee Mitt Romney overwhelmingly among Hispanic voters, leaving Republicans wary of alienating the country's fastest-growing demographic group.
"The Republican Party is losing the support of our Hispanic citizens," McCain said Monday. "And we realize that there are many issues in which we think we are in agreement with our Hispanic citizens, but this (immigration reform) is a pre-eminent issue with those citizens."
The new bipartisan overhaul plan would allow the country's estimated 11 million illegal immigrants to obtain a green card only after fulfilling a number of requirements: registering with the government; passing a criminal background check; settling back taxes; and paying a fine for having entered the United States improperly.
If they met the first standards, undocumented immigrants would get in line behind green card applicants already pursuing legal residency. They would then have to learn English and U.S. civics, show a record of past and current employment, and pass another background check.
The plan has a significant new element that was not part of the 2007 initiative: undocumented farmworkers who "have been performing very important and difficult work to maintain America's food supply while earning subsistence wages" could earn a path to citizenship through a different and presumably more lenient visa process for agricultural workers.

Dear Santa Blogs:
Is it really appropriate to give a book from the Book Fair as a gift? I mean, won't someone be offended at receiving something that is old, secondhand, and overpriced?
Dear Worried:
In the spirit of a season of peace and joy, I am going to overlook that last word. Anyway, if you're the kind of person who worries about receiving overpriced presents, I'm not sure how to help you.
If the gift is something the recipient will enjoy, what difference does the rest make? I don't believe the Mr. Salty Pretzel Cookbook is in print at this time, so you HAVE to get a pre-owned copy. The same goes for that book of poems by your great-grandmother. Old and secondhand can make for a great gift. (An old, secondhand fifty dollar bill is seldom refused because it's wrinkled. Hey, some of the most memorable Christmas cookies I ever ate were given to me in June by someone who had found the box in the back of a cupboard in June. Packaged cookies, unopened, with red and green and blue coloring. I'd nearly finished the box before I saw, by the picture on the cover, that they were supposed to be just red. Memorable, I said.)
Anyway, not all of the Book Fair books ARE secondhand. We get remaindered books from bookstores, book distributors, and publishers. In which case, you're getting unused merchandise at a lower price. And that's the name of the game, isn't it?

Drewett was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in 1970, and also played for the Cincinnati Reds, according to his obituary through Ralph Robinson Funeral Home in Pine Bluff.
Mike Drewett, Stuttgart Parks and Recreation Director, passed away Friday. This came as a shock to most of his city co-workers and friends in the area.
"At first, shock. He was an exceptional parks director," Stuttgart Mayor Marianne Maynard said Monday. "He was really fixing up the parks facilities with the bond money, and he was in our office Friday. I still haven't got over that fact. He worked really well with the (Stuttgart) Parks and Rec Commission and he loved his job."
Maynard said the next director will have extremely big shoes to fill.
Drewett was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in 1970, and also played for the Cincinnati Reds, according to his obituary through Ralph Robinson Funeral Home in Pine Bluff.
In 1979, he opened the Rod and Rack Sporting Goods Store and he also worked for Sportsman's Haven for many years.
He was Director of Parks and Recreation in Pine Bluff from 1992-2000. His many accomplishments included building and funding the Waterfront Meeting Facility at Regional Park, the Saracen Trace RV Park, weigh-in pavilion, handicap fishing pier, Bowhunters Archery Range, Regional Baseball Field, and was instrumental in raising the entrance road into Regional Park.
His proudest accomplishment, according to his family, was the complete planning and development of the multi-million dollar Harbor Oaks Golf Club and Restaurant at no cost to the City of Pine Bluff. He worked extensively with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission in developing new projects in Regional Park. He was instrumental in bringing over 100 fishing tournaments to Pine Bluff.
Mike also managed Mallard Express Convenience Stores in four counties for many years.
In Stuttgart he was instrumental in building the Stuttgart Aquatic Park, and acquired thousands of dollars in grants for the parks.
Maynard said Austin Hayes, Stuttgart Parks and Recreation Department employee, stepped up and oversaw the peewee basketball tournament that was held in Stuttgart Saturday. She said Hayes along with long-time Parks and Recreation Department employee Ronald W. Holt will step in for the time being before the Parks and Recreation Commission can meet in the coming days.
The commission's first order of business will be to see how far along the bond money has been spent in upgrades and to continue to monitor its progress.

So we've made it to 2010! It's a little bit like living in the future, isn't it?
Speaking of future, I hope this future year is filled with good thing for all: love, joy and... chocolate. Just like these cookies!
These are the famous 1 million dollar cookies that won the last Pillsbury contest. But these ones, beside the peanut butter filling also have some chocolate love. If the original ones were worth 1 million dollars, these are easily worth 2 million!
You can check the original recipe here. That recipe uses refrigerated peanut butter dough, but I've used my favourite peanut butter cookie recipe instead. Besides this, my only change was adding some chopped dark chocolate in the middle of the peanut butter filling.
If eating a cookie like that is not a great way to start a year I don't know what is!

HILLSDALE � Located on a 5-acre farm in southern Hillsdale County is a small �ma and pa� woodshop where memories can last forever.
Making family heirlooms is what Jim Beardsley of Kookelberry Farm loves to do for people.
�It�s what I thrive on,� Beardsley said. �What I enjoy most is helping people make their memories last.�
Kookelberry Woodshop offers plaques, signs, clocks, flag cases, urns and more�� all done with a state-of-the-art CNC router. Everything from 2D to 3D artwork and engraving is done not only on wood, but also plastic or brass.
�If someone has an idea, I say let�s talk about it,� he said. �I tell people to use their wildest imagination and I�ll engrave it.�
One of�Beardsley's most popular services is photo engraving. By using software obtained from England,�he can engrave a photo into a wood plaque rubbed with Minwax stain and finished with polyurethane.
Beardsley started his woodworking pasttime-turned-business around five years ago after suffering�injuries in�a head-on motorcycle accident with a semi. His helmet was cracked, he had numerous broken bones and he�s an amputee who spends some days in a wheelchair.
�There are days I struggle with walking, so my workshop is designed so I can do everything from my wheelchair,� Beardsley said.
Once a truck driver who also did construction jobs, Beardsley was familiar with wood, so his wife, Jane, encouraged him to do something to keep him busy and out of trouble.
�I�m 51, and I wasn�t ready to quit on life�� I just wanted to do something to keep working,� he said.
Finding a niche in woodworking has allowed Beardsley to offer unique, keepsake-quality products at low prices. Preserving memories for generations to come gives him great satisfaction since helping people connect with loved ones is priceless, he said.
�I have people who come over and pick up a plaque and start crying,� he said. �It�s very emotional for them to see the connection an engraving makes.�
A job he�ll never forget was when a lady asked him to make her a memory box to keep cherished items from a brother who was killed. She asked that he engrave �cherished memories� with the picture of a tree. To make it even more personal, Beardsley also engraved a poem the women had written, so when her daughter opened it, she could feel like her mother was talking to her.
People can call or email for a free estimate and if they are not 100 percent satisfied, Beardsley said they don�t owe him a dime.
�I like to keep things simple and go back in time when a handshake means sealing a deal,� he said. �That�s just the normal way.�
The simple lifestyle he speaks of is reflected in the way his wife likes to spin the wool from the sheep the couple owns and milk the goats they have, as well as taking care of the various other farm animals including geese, chickens, dogs and cats.
Their goat named Kookelberry is how they came up with the name Kookelberry Farm.
�That�s my wife�s fault,� he laughed. �We have this crazy billy goat that would lay its head in her lap when she sang the song �Kookaburra.� I never could get the name right, so it turned out Kookelberry.�
Feeling lucky to be around, Beardsley said his work is steady and he won�t turn down any job. Furniture repairs to home d�cor are all services rendered with endless possibilities.
�The little jobs like fixing a table leg or bar stool spindle are just as important,� he said.

UNH's Peter T. Paul College brings 'business education' to lifeBy GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
April 11. 2013 11:50PM
DURHAM - The University of New Hampshire will officially unveil the new Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics on Friday, but students have been taking full advantage of the amenities offered since the spring semester began in March.
Breakout rooms equipped with video screens and recording equipment were full of students working on group projects and presentations as Dean Dan Innis recently walked through the building.
In the Great Hall looking out onto a developing courtyard between the Health Services building, students sat in comfy chairs and along the giant windows studying, reading and taking advantage of the gathering space.
Until the Paul school opened, business students took classes in McConnell Hall, one of the so-called "waffle" buildings in the back end of campus and said there was little reason to stay in the building after class.
Graduate student Omar Zeroual, 29, said with a café downstairs and abundant study and collaborative space in the Paul school, sometimes he does not leave the building at all until it closes at 11 p.m.
He said the advanced technology is also helping him and other business majors to be better prepared when they enter the business world.
This is exactly what Innis wants to hear. "It brought business education to life," he said.
This includes enhancing the way students interact with each other, with faculty and with members of the surrounding business community.
Innis said all of his dreams and aspirations for the building have already been exceeded.
"I think the students are ecstatic. The seniors are a little disappointed they won't be here longer, which was hard to hear, and good to hear," Innis said.
The $50 million building came in $5 million under the budget approved by the University System board of trustees and will also soon be LEED "Gold" certified, a standard of environmentally friendly design and construction. The project was largely funded through private gifts, including a record-setting $25 million gift from alumnus and philanthropist Peter T. Paul, for whom the building is named.
Paul will be in attendance at today's ribbon cutting and celebration, which begins at 3:30 p.m. at the main entrance of the building on Garrison Avenue.
The building has 900 classroom seats with thousands of business and non-business students coming in and out each day.
This past year, 2,100 undergraduates were enrolled at the business school, and that number is expected to go up for 2013. The building has capacity for up to 2,500 undergraduates in addition to graduate students.
In addition to the technology in the breakout rooms, technology in the "flipped" classrooms is also top notch and provides unique opportunities for teaching and learning, Innis said.
Small groups of work stations are outfitted with technology that allows the creation of Powerpoint and video presentations while a station at the front allows faculty to interact with and highlight the work being done at any of the stations.
He said the idea is for classrooms to serve as workrooms with lectures and reading taking place outside the classroom and online.
He said the purpose of Friday's event is not just to showcase the building, but the quality product it is turning out - the students.
He said in national standardized testing given to graduating seniors, UNH business students rank in the 85th to 90th percentile.
And more than half of those graduates will stay in New Hampshire, he said, which has a major impact on the regional economy.
"It's a new face for business education at the University of New Hampshire," Innis said.
By May 1, all of the rooms should be complete, and the remaining two classes at McConnell Hall can move into the new building.

Mumps is a viral infection of the parotid glands. These glands are located on the side of the face, near the ear. Because of the mumps vaccine, this condition is not as common as it once was in the United States.
The virus is usually spread through contact with an infected person's saliva. The mumps virus spreads easily among people in close contact.
Risk Factors
Mumps are more common in children and adolescents between the ages of 10-19 years of age. Other factors that may increase your chance of mumps include:
- Being unvaccinated and exposed to people who have mumps
- Being born after 1956 and never having mumps, or not being vaccinated after the first birthday
- Season: winter
- Having a weakened immune system, even if you have been vaccinated
About one-third of cases do not have symptoms. Symptoms often occur 2-3 weeks after exposure to the virus.
Mumps may cause:
- Painful swelling of the parotid glands
- Fever
- Discomfort
- Lack of appetite
- Sore throat
- Headache
- Stiff neck
- Nausea and vomiting
- Fatigue
Other areas may also be affected, such as:
- Swelling and pain under the tongue, jaw, or front of the chest
- In males: painful inflammation of the testicles
- In females—inflammation of the ovaries, which results in pain or tenderness in the abdomen
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The diagnosis will be based on these findings.
There is no specific treatment for mumps. Viruses cannot be treated with antibiotics.
In general, mumps will last about 10-12 days. Comfort measures may include:
- Applying a hot or cold compresses to swollen areas
- Gargling with warm salt water to soothe a sore throat
- Treating high fever with an over-the-counter pain reliever
- Drinking plenty of liquids
- Eating a soft, bland diet
Aspirin is not usually recommended for children with a current or recent viral infection.
In most healthy children, complications are rare. When complications do occur, they may include:
- Deafness , which may not be permanent
- Swelling or infection of the brain, pancreas, heart, or other organs
- Testicular inflammation
- Problems with male fertility
Getting vaccinated is the best way to prevent mumps. The vaccine contains live viruses that can no longer cause disease. The mumps vaccine is usually given in combination with:
The regular schedule for giving the vaccine is at age 12-15 months and again at age 4-6 years.
Ask your doctor if the vaccine is right for you. In general, avoid the vaccine if you:
- Have had severe allergic reactions to vaccines or vaccine components
- Are pregnant—Avoid pregnancy for 1-3 months after receiving the vaccine
- Have a weakened immune system
- Have a high fever or severe upper respiratory tract infection
If you are not vaccinated, avoid contact with someone who has mumps. Discuss the benefits of vaccination with your doctor.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A prosecutor called it a miracle Tuesday that no one was killed when a man on methamphetamine fired a shot with a .44-caliber handgun during a struggle with several well-muscled members of the Thunder From Down Under male revue who found him backstage trying to steal show costumes and props.
One cast member wrestled Joey Kadmiri's wrist away, and the bullet narrowly missed the face of another cast member before lodging in a wall at the Excalibur Hotel and Casino with an Italian restaurant full of diners on the other side, Deputy Clark County District Attorney Nick Portz said.
One cast member suffered gunpowder burns on side of his face and still has eye and ear damage, Portz said. Another received lesser injuries, he said.
"These men don't miss the gym all that much, and it still took six men to hold him," Portz said.
Prosecutors on Monday dropped eight of 17 charges originally filed by a grand jury in the case, including attempted murder, armed robbery and several counts of robbery with a weapon.
Kadmiri still faces nine felony burglary, robbery, battery and weapon charges, which could get him decades in prison if he's convicted.
Kadmiri has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers, Joshua Tomsheck and Roy Nelson, plan to make their opening arguments later this week.
Tomsheck has said that Kadmiri had drug and mental health issues before the March 18 incident. He hasn't said if Kadmiri will testify.
Kadmiri, 24, stands 5 feet, 10 inches and weighs about 190 pounds. He received facial scrapes and bruises and had to be restrained after declaring that he was on methamphetamine and repeatedly hitting his own head on the floor of the outdoor patio during the struggle, Portz said.
Kadmiri was hospitalized overnight with a black eye and other minor injuries before he was taken to the Clark County jail.
Police later found that Kadmiri had with him a pair of surgical gloves, an open 2.1-gram plastic packet of methamphetamine and a box of bullets for the handgun perhaps most famous as the sidearm of choice for Clint Eastwood's 1971 movie character, "Dirty Harry."
"It's a miracle that no one was killed," Portz said.
Portz told jurors that they will see the handgun and hear from several employees and dancers for the Australia-themed men's stripper revue. Cast members said they found Kadmiri hanging around the dressing area and showroom several hours before the confrontation.
He was wearing a Sydney firefighters' T-shirt and identified himself as a new cast member, Portz said. Before he was confronted, Kadmiri collected hats, shoes, props and underwear from the dressing area.
"This is not a complex case," the prosecutor said. "This is not a 'whodunit.' The man who committed these acts is in this courtroom."
Kadmiri also faces criminal charges in a separate and unrelated case alleging that he kidnapped and beat a woman at gunpoint and confined her to a closet last November.
Court records show he was convicted in September 2011 of misdemeanor escape stemming from a March 2010 attempt to run while handcuffed from police arresting him on unspecified felony charges.

No matter where we turn, someone or something is telling us that we just don't quite measure up. Because of these influences...
There are so many influences around that threaten our self-acceptance. The ads in magazines and the commercials on TV bombard us with the fact that we are not what we should be for one reason or another…by their standards, we fall short.
How about the influence from the entertainment industry? The idol worship, the imitation of dress, hairdo's and thinking…yes, even our thinking can be affected. No matter where we turn, someone or something is telling us that we just don't quite measure up. Because of these influences, our self-acceptance is threatened.
Is there anything wrong with who we are? Perfect? No. But acceptable? Yes. Did you know that each one of us is unique? Like a snowflake, there are no two of us alike. Do we realize how special it is to be unique…one of a kind?
I will never be what I thought I would,
I'm not even sure if I thought I could.
"I is what I is" and that's okay,
For God is the one who made me this way.
"I is what I is…and that's all that I is."
Accept yourself for who you are…
and don't take yourself so seriously.
Thanks Popeye. Would you pass the spinach, please?

Going behind the scenes has offered a new perspective to the Penn State Mont Alto student, Jim Aden. The Quincy man is part of the Mont Alto Film Project, which is helping to produce "Ghosting," a full-length independent feature film.
MONT ALTO — Jim Aden has seen plenty of movies in his life. But going behind the scenes has offered a new perspective to the Penn State Mont Alto student. The Quincy man is part of the Mont Alto Film Project, which is helping to produce "Ghosting," a full-length independent feature film. "All we're releasing right now is that it is a psychological thriller," said Aden. "When you watch a film, you have no idea what it takes to put it together," according to the 68-year-old, who is taking the class as part of the GO-60 program at Penn State Mont Alto. "Senior citizens can take classes at any Penn State campus and they don't pay tuition," explained Aden, who moved to the Waynesboro area in 1991. Making movies The Mont Alto Film Project is seeking actors for "Ghosting," described as a micro-budget, non-union production in conjunction with Third Child Productions under the auspices of Penn State Mont Alto. "We're working on getting the actors signed up and then we'll go from there," noted Aden, a member of the production crew. "Ghosting" is the second motion picture to be produced by Mont Alto students and their faculty adviser Dr. Kevin Boon. The project's first motion picture, "Two Days Back," released in the fall of 2011, was awarded best picture in the Horror/Sci-Fi category at the Bare Bones International Film Festival in April 2012. The festival, which screens feature films with budgets of less than $1 million, featured 100 entries in five categories. 'Senior' student "We will do everything you might do in a regular film ... the filming, costumes, props, selecting locations. We haven't settled on anything yet. We all have ideas and we'll do some filming for sure at the campus — in a classroom and at The Mill Cafe," he added. "This is really a lot of fun, but it's hard work," according to Aden, who retired from the U.S. Air Force in 1987 after 26 years service and from the federal government in 2011 after working for 20 years in training and development. Aden has a bachelor's degree in Soviet area studies and a master's of education degree in training and development from Penn State. "I never realized what goes into this. Writing the screenplay took a lot of time and effort. We're going to be behind the cameras, watching the actors portray their roles. There's a lot of paperwork. Anything you show in that film, that is not property of the school, like the front of someone's house, we need a signed release. We're going to need an antique shop, a flower shop, house, a specific kind of truck," Aden said. Auditions Auditions, open to all actors, will be held from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23, and Saturday, March 16, from 12 to 4 p.m. in the campus' General Studies Building, One Campus Drive.

Elsewhere in the U.S., young adults might anxiously wonder whether there will be jobs for them to fill.
Elsewhere in the U.S., young adults might anxiously wonder whether there will be jobs for them to fill.
But, if a jam-packed job fair at Fletcher Technical Community College is any indication, Houma-Thibodaux has the opposite problem.
The school's Tuesday and Wednesday job fair featured companies and government agencies from all over the area.
There were huge international oil companies, such as Shell and BP, and major contractors, such as Gulf Island Fabrication and Valourel and Mannesman Tubes.
There were also representatives of the Louisiana State Police, Thibodaux Police Department and Terrebonne and Lafourche Sheriff's offices.
Fletcher took over its two-year criminal justice program from Nicholls State University two years ago, so officials there said they're pleased to see interest from local agencies.
"We're very pleased that we have this much interest in that program because we think it's important to the local community," said Chancellor Travis Lavigne. "We think it's critical that our deputies are able to upgrade their skills without having to go to Baton Rouge or New Orleans."
David Melancon of the Thibodaux Police Department was one of those recruiting Wednesday at the fair.
"We think this is a great thing for this area to have," Melancon said. "These students are getting training in the Constitution and the issues that are very important to the work of law enforcement."
Melancon said he was impressed with the turnout.
"We've had a lot of students coming up to us, and a lot of them seem to really know what they're talking about," Melancon said. "We're going to have several of them touring headquarters soon."
But, while a strong showing from law enforcement was encouraging to many students, the biggest story is the huge demand for offshore jobs.
Ron Gross, a recruiter for Edison Chouest Offshore, said his company is looking to find 450 workers for jobs in everything from electrical work to welding to hydraulics.
"If you can think of an offshore job, we're hiring for it," Gross said. "Our dilemma isn't finding jobs for people. Our dilemma is finding good, trained workers to fill our jobs."
Gross said the country's higher education system continues to lag behind businesses' demand, pumping out graduates not ready to fill the jobs that are open.
"We're putting students into these just horrible debts, and so many schools are just teaching what they want to teach," Gross said. "We really need to be getting our students the skills that industry needs."
Gross said Fletcher is "the epicenter" of his recruiting efforts because the school is emphasizing the skills his company is looking for.
"This career fair is a must for us. We're getting some really well-qualified people interested in our jobs," he said. "Fletcher seems to be more in line with what's actually needed."
Students interviewed at the fair on Wednesday said they were optimistic about their chances at getting a good job.
"I think my chances are pretty good," said student Ashley Billiot, who has an associate degree in criminal justice and is working on a bachelor's degree.
Billiot said Fletcher fits her well because the school focuses on the practical skills for getting a job.
"My teachers were actually in law enforcement. They were out doing it," she said. "They know people who are still in it, so they know what we need to do to get a job."
