Why Cadence Is Canon at Canonical
Nov 27, 2012 5:00 AM PT
The latest release of Canonical's innovative open source operating system, Ubuntu 12.10, maintains its twice-annual upgrade pattern. Even though the last few releases have generated a steady chorus of cries for longer release schedules, Canonical's leadership stands by the schedule and the rationale behind it.
Canonical CEO Mark Shuttleworth certainly does not think Ubuntu's every-six-month release schedule is part of any ill-perceived problem. During his recent Linuxcon keynote address, he praised that cycle for creating lots of excitement and keeping contributors motivated.
At least one of Canonical's board members favors longer release intervals. Meanwhile, Shuttleworth steadfastly adheres to the mantra: Many eyes make all bugs shallow, so make releases early and often.
Contrary to the criticism, Ubuntu's twice-yearly release cycle has a clear purpose for Canonical's success as a major OS developer. It forms a cadence with several upsteams and other distributions, according to Adam Conrad, Ubuntu Release Engineer at Canonical. That helps the development team keep its fingers on the pulse of current open source development.
"We've put robust mechanisms in place to ensure quality, both with our own products and with various upstream products that we rely heavily on. Our focus on quality permeates from the platform up to the code we write upstream, and our choices of upstream components too. We require tests and gated trunks for all Canonical code bases and prefer upstreams that share the same values," Conrad told LinuxInsider.
Stability Sells
That explanation makes considerable sense, noted Al Hilwa, program director for applications development software at IDC. Fundamentally, it is an execution and planning issue.
"What is important is putting out a predictable schedule and a road map for when projected functionality will be integrated," Hilwa told LinuxInsider.
Whether Ubuntu needs to adjust that cycle is the sticking point, however. The development team has to assess the nature of the code changes versus the intervals available to stabilize the code.
"In principle, most changes can be incrementalized to fit any cycle," Hilwa suggested.
Rigidity Required
Extending the release cycle would not necessarily lead to better overall quality. Rather, it would only give people a longer goal to land the new features they really want to see, in Conrad's view.
Another reason he disfavors a more relaxed release time is human nature. Ultimately, people will always try to get things in at the last minute.
"We do offer our LTS [Long Term Support] product on a two year cadence, and we invest significant resources into polishing our LTS releases both before and after they're released to make sure they'll be solid and maintainable for five years," he explained.
Time Tested
A longer release schedule would have little impact on quality, Conrad added. Every release puts quality first these days. They all get used on the server and on devices.
The term of maintenance between regular and LTS might vary. Nonetheless, the company's commitment to interim releases is just as important as it is to an LTS release, he noted.
Time may be less of a factor than management goals, offered Hilwa. The issues boil down to project management dexterity.
For example, a development team has to come to terms with the natural rhythm of evolution of its product with respect to the market requirements. Release schedules can then be worked out to accommodate these needs.
"Mature products are more easily delivered on a predictable schedule. New products with significant new investment can require irregular intervals, for example, to stabilize major changes," Hilwa said.
Rhyme With Reason
The release cycle is often tied into the marketing plan of a Linux distro. Many Linux distributions have a regular release cycle. A few, such as Puppy Linux, only release new versions when the community has time to build in enough new features or make substantial bug fixes.
Fedora Linux follows a similar time frame to Ubuntu. A new version of Fedora releases every six months. But there is no LTS version. Maintenance for Fedora releases lasts 13 months. So users of a Fedora distro one year old needs to move on or be left behind.
So Canonical might gain traction for some personal users and lots of business adopters simply because they can coast along without orchestrating an upgrade deployment for two years when a new LTS version arrives.
Meanwhile, regular security and bug fixes are fed through the software management mechanism of the distro. Those who want the next new thing can upgrade sooner, even if they have skipped one or two release cycles.
Seasonal Schedules
Most of the more well-known Linux distros seem to avoid short-cycle releases. Besides Ubuntu and Fedora, the only major distro that comes close to sooner-than-later releases is OpenSUSE. That community issues a new release every 8 months.
Linux Mint uses an annual upgrade cycle, but it maintains recent generations for extended periods and preaches that upgrading is not necessary.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise and CentOS upgrade every two to three years. Debian Stable comes out anew every three years. PCLinuxOS and Gentoo Linux follow an imprecise rolling release cycle.
Serving Two Masters
One of the big attractions of the Linux OS is its ability to play nicely with diametric user groups. The dual audience for Linux distributions pits the unpaid, community versions as a complement to the paid, subscription Linux users, according to Jay Lyman, senior analyst for enterprise software at The 451 Group.
"The dual audience seems to consist of those who want the latest and greatest features and functionality in a new version, new Linux kernel and other updated components and those seeking stability, reliability and commercial support," Lyman told LinuxInsider.
In Ubuntu's case the company's regular, twice-annual releases satisfy the first group. Those are mostly developers. The LTS releases serve the second group, which includes large enterprises and service providers, he explained.
Long or Short: Is One Better?
Shorter and longer release cycles give fairly obvious quality versus shininess trade-offs, offered Conrad. Ubuntu's developers try to balance both so as not to short-change either audience.
Ubuntu's code-writers work hard to ensure that quality shines through on every release to give users access to the latest and greatest software and features, he said.
"Moving to even shorter cycles, while often heralded as the next best thing in software development, is not particularly realistic for a system as complex as a large Linux distribution," said Conrad.
That would force Ubuntu's team to spend so much working on the release processes and stabilizing inter-dependencies that the team would never actually get a chance to land many new features, he explained.
One Size Can't Fit All
"What works well for development of smaller and self-contained software projects doesn't necessarily translate well to releasing an entire operating system," said Conrad.
In assessing the advantages over the disadvantages, there is no escaping the balancing act. It might require one part marketing and one part determination. In the end, the customer will walk away or stay.
"Fundamentally it is an approach that aligns the software release cycle with a faster pace of customer demand such as in a consumer cycle or to simply incrementalize software evolution in order to speed functionality to market or provide it in a more predictable way," said Hilwa.
Fixed vs. Floating
Is such a fixed cycle necessary at all? After all, users can update or not at any time they choose. So what is the rationale behind the decision in the first place?
Fixed cycles -- or, at least, fixed stable releases -- are necessary for users who absolutely must have a baseline and stable system on which to develop their own solutions, according to Conrad. "For instance, being quirk-for-quirk compatible over a five-year period -- in the case of LTSes -- lets shops add their own internal 'secret sauce' to their rollouts without having to constantly update and track our development."
On the other hand, single-desktop users can more easily follow a rolling release model, if they so choose, noted Conrad. Ubuntu is increasingly getting to the point where its development release is a product that is always in good-enough shape that even non-technical users can be confident upgrading it on a daily basis, he added.
Which Way to Go?
"We may not quite be there yet, and I'm not sure I'd recommend our development releases to people who aren't occasionally prepared to file some bugs or deal with some oddities. But our goal is certainly to make this a viable option for people who don't want or need stable releases," Conrad concluded.
Generally, software product release cycles can be feature-based or schedule-based. Increasingly, Hilwa is seeing a shift to schedule-based approaches as technologies move to cloud provisioning in an attempt to provide continuous services.
Additionally, the fast pace of technology has driven many categories of software to schedule-based releases. That is especially true as more of the market shifts to the consumer side, which is governed by a distinct retail commerce cycle, said Hilwa.
Need For Speed
Clearly, the cadence of release in Linux and other open source software projects can be overwhelming for enterprises. Still, LTS and paid subscription versions of Linux provide greater longevity and less worry about updating, concluded Lyman.
"While open source software is being used more and more in the enterprise market, where you would expect longer release cycles, the overall trend in the industry is to iterate, update and release software more frequently. So I expect this duality to continue with both approaches retaining their advantages for different sets of users," he said.

Wi-Fi MP3 Player is Designed to Get and Recommend Music on the Go,
Un-tether Users from Their PCs
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, Jan. 8, 2007 - SanDisk® Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) the second largest seller of MP3 players in the United States, today announced the Sansa Connect™, a Wi-Fi enabled MP3 player that lets consumers enjoy and recommend music from almost anywhere¹. The Sansa Connect un-tethers consumers from their PCs allowing them to connect to music and online photos through any open wireless "hot spot" Internet connection. The announcement was made at CES, where SanDisk is exhibiting in South Hall 4, 36206 in the Las Vegas Convention Center through January 11.
Available on retail shelves in the United States in late March, the new Sansa Connect will boast innovative Internet capabilities designed to keep music aficionados connected to a wide range of new music via subscription services and streaming Internet radio1 with no PC required. Designed to work with premium Internet services, the flash-based MP3 player will also contain community features for recommending music and photos with the simple click of a button and a "live" Wi-Fi connection.
"The Sansa Connect is a new music experience focused on convenience, instant gratification and social connections," said Eric Bone, product marketing director for SanDisk's audio and video line. "It's about accessing music of your choice wherever you are. If you're listening to new songs from a music service and find ones you want to keep, you can bring them into your library and don't have to wait until you get back to your PC. If you want to tell your friends about your discoveries, the Sansa Connect will also allow you to share music suggestions over the Web-anytime, anywhere-over an open wireless Internet network."
The Sansa Connect provides superior sound playback (equivalent to SanDisk's award-winning Sansa® e200 line) and will come equipped with a microSD™ card slot. The expansion slot adds additional storage capacity as well as portability of music to other devices.
The Sansa Connect feature set includes:

While much of the hype about this Sunday's Super Bowl has focused on Coaches Jim and John Harbaugh, who will make NFL history as the first brothers to square off in a championship, a recent Nielsen/E-Poll study looks at how consumers perceive some of the key players who are about to take the field.
Though the rosters of the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens have many similarities, the N-Score study found notable differences with respect to the marketability of individual players. One game-changing play on the biggest sports stage, however, can have a huge impact on endorsement possibilities.
Using the combined research expertise of Nielsen and E-Poll Market Research, N-Score is an in-depth look at a sports figure's overall endorsement potential, factoring in the attributes and demographic measures that align brands with endorsers. Each individual N-Score National survey is administered to 1,100 people within that panel via the internet. The sample is representative of the general population based on gender, income, age and education.

Meet a girl with the wrong iPhone case. She enjoys normal teen things like Starbucks, snowboarding, and hanging out with friends. She also doesn't know the difference between the Confederate Flag, universal symbol of bigotry, and the flag of the UK. And then she tweeted it.
A couple weeks ago, our proud American friend posted her rebel iPhone case with a mirror selfie.
Then she started to realize her error.
The UK and Confederate flags share little in common despite coloring and an X shape. The latter is synonymous with one of the worst periods in American history. She wouldn't want anyone to think she's racially prejudiced, right?
Oh well. She's now being retweeted and mocked around the world.
The lesson here, don't be an idiot, and probably just don't get a case for your iPhone to begin with. [Twitter via @hermit_thrush]

Here at Vermont Woods Studios, a big part of our mission is to support and give back to our local and global community, specifically to those that are helping to better our world through forest conservation. While many companies and organizations promote a similar cause in their missions, VWS staff members like to do more than just write out a check or sit in the office talking about our plans but not physically putting them into action.
Thursday, the folks at the Bonnyvale Environmental Educational Center (BEEC) welcomed Peggy and me to their beautiful sanctuary, a vacation away from the hustle and bustle of the average work day. BEEC is a member-based, nonprofit organization founded with the mission to develop a more ecologically informed citizenry through education and action in order to enhance and sustain the vitality of southern Vermont's bioregion. BEEC's land and facilities include 100 acres of mature forests, open pasture lands, hiking trails, sweeping hilltop views, and a classroom and office, all situated in a beautiful rural setting less than 10 minutes from downtown Brattleboro.
BEEC also coordinates and leads important community-based environmental research and conservation programs, including watershed stewardship, reptile and amphibian conservation initiatives, and biodiversity planning and protection.
We traveled to BEEC for a meeting with Patti Smith and Belle Coles, two staff members of BEEC, to brainstorm some ideas for a partnership between our organizations. BEEC has some fantastic programs that they organize throughout the year and they are always looking for volunteers and sponsors. Vermont Woods Studios is hoping to help them out with one or more of these projects in the not-so-distant future.
Although Peggy and I were there on "business," we were able to go on a nice hike to see the amazing views of the Vermont landscape and meet a lazy little possum named "Samuel Gompers." Samuel and his siblings were rescued when they were just babies after they lost their parents. Samuel is very happy at his home with BEEC staff and enjoys eating blueberries and Japanese Beetles! I'd say this was a very successful business meeting!
If you're interested in helping out too, the next big event that BEEC is holding their annual Hike-A-Thon. Last year, they raised over $1400 through the fundraiser. To learn more about BEEC's projects, check out the event calendar on their Web site.
And to learn more about our participation in a future BEEC project, keep following our blog or follow us on Facebook!

4:12 pm | SPX, Nasdaq factoids | by Victor Reklaitis
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both snapped two-day winning streaks.
Each index had its biggest point drop since Jan. 13 (as was also the case for the Dow).
All three main indexes finished off their session lows, with the Nasdaq in particular paring a 1.2% slide to just 0.6%.
So there was at least some hope for the bulls in how the indexes ended the day.
4:07 pm | 5-week low | by Victor Reklaitis
While the point drop for the Dow wasn't the short year's worst, the blue-chip index did close at a five-week low.
If you're into chart levels, you might say it dropped to support at its 50-day moving average.
4:03 pm | Worst day since... | by Victor Reklaitis
After being down more than 200 points, the Dow ended up closing down by about 176 points, according to preliminary data.
So that's the worst one-day point drop since… last week (Jan. 13, to be exact).
4:01 pm | Closing bell! | by Victor Reklaitis

3:19 pm | Seattle After Hours: Microsoft, Starbucks report results | by Wallace Witkowski
Two of the Seattle area's largest and best known companies are taking the spotlight in the after-hours session as Microsoft Corp. and Starbucks Corp. report quarterly results.
Shares of Microsoft and Starbucks were performing slightly better than average going into the close with losses in the 0.3% to 0.5% range, while the broader market was off by more than 1%.
Microsoft, which is expected to report earnings of 69 cents a share on sales of $23.66 billi0n, faces the challenge of declining PC sales that run its Office suite of software, and weak sales of its own devices, while word is still out on who will replace CEO Steve Ballmer.
At Starbucks, a migration to online shopping is resulting in fewer visits to brick-and-mortar stores, which tend to be a few steps away from a Starbucks, putting pressure on sales. Starbucks is expected to report a quarterly profit of 69 cents a share on revenue of $4.3 billion.

1:31 pm | Dow's slump | by Victor Reklaitis
This chart shows the Dow Jones Industrial Average's drop to a one-month low.
It's been down more than 200 points at times this afternoon.
Speaking of the Dow, Tom Brakke over at the Research Puzzle had a good post recently about the blue-chip index vs. the Nasdaq.
He wrote: "The two indexes have changed a lot since 2000, but they still play their roles: The Nazz as some hip Hollywood hunk and, well, the Dow as some old fuddy-duddy like me."
He also described the Dow as "still the market indicator that commands the attention of investment laity."

10-year Treasury yields dropped ahead of an auction of inflation-protected securities and on track for their lowest closing level since before the Federal Reserve said it would scale back its bond-buying stimulus program, writes Ben Eisen.
10-year yield was last at 2.79%.
The drop in the long-dated yields boosted homebuilders. Lennar Corp is up 1%. Both PulteGroup Inc and D.R. Horton Inc pared earlier losses.

Herbalife Ltd shares tumbled after a Democratic senator Edward Markey called for a probe into the supplement company's operations, saying it is "a possible pyramid scheme". Herbalife just issued a statement saying it will address those concerns.
Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman has made similar claims and took a sizeable short position on the stock in late 2012.

12:09 pm | Uncertainty reigns | by Anora Mahmudova
Tanweer Akram, senior economist at ING Investment Management says that investors are realizing that the recovery in the U.S. is still moderate while uncertainty in the rest of the world remains.
"Today's batch of data was fairly positive, but also had aspects which indicate that recovery is not very robust. For example, the housing market strengthened in 2013, however, there is concern over rising mortgage rates as applications weakened. The jobs market is improving, but slowly.
Globally, we see concerns over China and its shadow banking system, as savers bypass official banks to put their money to work. Investors would like to see the government and the central bank ensure financial stability but the fact that there is no reliable way of assessing how bad the problem is, creates uncertainty."
12:07 pm | Netflix, eBay in focus | by Victor Reklaitis
For Netflix -- last up about 15% -- RBC Capital's Mark Mahaney sees several drivers.
"A variety of factors were at play: strong execution, especially in international markets, rising customer satisfaction, a larger installed base of connected devices, the lack, so far, of a compelling alternative in most markets, and the impact of original series," he told clients in a note.
With eBay -- last up 1% -- the Carl Icahn news (he wants PayPal spun off) has "stunned" Wall Street.

11:45 am | Gold shines | by Victor Reklaitis
As the Dow industrials wallow near a one-month low, gold is at a two-month high.
MarketWatch's story on the precious metal says: "Gold futures advanced on Thursday, snapping a two-day skid with investors mulling the prospects for higher gold demand out of India as a drop in U.S. equities and a weaker dollar helped position prices for their highest close in more than two months."
The comments section for this live blog has a bit of a debate on gold, with one reader saying gold "is in a bear market and has been since 2011," while another says it's "in a bull market and has been since 2009."
Also on the gold front, the Guardian has a story on the subject. The U.K. newspaper probably will get some hate mail for this piece. Here's an excerpt:
"...gold bugs believe that the fall of gold is a conspiracy. Global central banks, some gold bugs argue, are manipulating prices and gold will soar to set new records this year.
Well, there's at least a small chance that this may be true. And there may have been a shooter on the grassy knoll on 22 November, 1963. But that still isn't an argument in favor of loading up your portfolio with gold."
11:44 am | Yen strength | by Saumya Vaishampayan
The U.S. dollar fell below ¥104 on Thursday in a broadly risk-off environment, as evident from the drop in U.S. stocks, gains in Treasurys and pain in emerging-market currencies, said Richard Franulovich of Westpac Banking Corp. In recent trade, the dollar fell to ¥103.70 from ¥104.48 late Wednesday.

This comment from Ian Winer, director of equity trading at Wedbush Securities, might provide you with a chuckle on this downbeat day.
"We're not seeing panic selling," Winer says in a Wall Street Journal story on today's stock-market action.

The source of Snoop Dogg's oft-stated allegiance to Celtic football club is hard to pinpoint. Some say the Glasgow club's origins in providing succour for poor Irish immigrants to Glasgow in the 1880s chimes with the experiences of poor blacks in urban America which influence much of the rap king's oeuvre. Others claim he simply took a fancy to Celtic's famous green and white-hooped livery and added it to his vivid wardrobe. Nevertheless his commitment to the club seems genuine enough.
Following the Scottish champions' victory over Barcelona in November he tweeted his followers thus: "Congrats 2 the Celtic on makin it to the last 16 of tha Champion League! We doin it big this year!" Last month he stated his desire to be the team's mascot against Juventus on Tuesday night in the last 16 of the Champions League. Which is why Celtic's chief executive, Peter Lawwell, has been acquainting himself with the delights of dealing with hip-hop royalty. "Our people are talking to his people," Lawwell told the Observer in time-honoured showbiz fashion. "We're keen to make it happen… "
If Snoop does make it to Celtic Park, presumably they will find him a seat next to Rod Stewart whose tears of joy after the Barcelona match defined the historic victory more than either of the two goals. Celtic are not quite a Hollywood club but the international showbiz community is well represented in a global fan base that owes much to the Irish diaspora.
It is Lawwell's job, though, to ensure the club does not get carried away. "Our wide supporter base is something of which we're very proud, but part of my job is to manage expectations. Celtic have a magical historical narrative and we have a great European pedigree but we must be aware of our surroundings and work within our means and ensure that each penny we make is reinvested properly and in the interests of our supporters and our shareholders."
Being aware of the surroundings means, in Celtic's case, acknowledging they operate in a league where television revenue is less than 1% of England's. Or from where you can only look on in quiet astonishment when clubs that provide the Premier League's relegation fodder, such as Queens Park Rangers, are sanctioning transfer fees and salaries that swamp the entire cost and wage bill of the Celtic team who triumphed against Messi, Iniesta and Xavi. The Celtic team that night included the young Kenyan powerhouse Victor Wanyama; the Honduran left-back Emilio Izaguirre; the former Scunthorpe striker, Gary Hooper (the subject of a reputed £9m bid by Norwich City) and Tony Watt, a 20-year-old from Airdrie who cost £100,000 and scored the winner against Barcelona. Then there is Efe Ambrose, who is set to play for Nigeria this evening in the Africa Cup of Nations final, and James Forrest, the gifted young winger from Celtic's youth academy who was named by Fifa on a list of global "ones to watch" last year.
Their alignment in this season's Celtic constellation marks the successful culmination of a five-year economic plan that might have prevented the global banking collapse had it been applied by Lehman Brothers and RBS: cover your risks and secure value for money on every transaction.
"We decided to take significant funds from our first team in 2006-07 and to reinvest it in building a state-of-the-art training campus; developing a youth academy; constructing a sports science programme and the recruitment of an international football development manager," Lawwell said. "It is all about building a sustainable, long-term economic model which will buttress us from the effects of any sudden downturns. It is designed to ensure that we remain competitive in elite European competition."
Celtic have become expert in shopping in what they call "undervalued markets" in Asia, Africa and Latin America, as well as England's Nationwide League. No one at the club is under any illusion that they will keep their stars for more than a few years, but from a collective outlay of less than £10m they will expect to earn a profit of around five times that. This was exemplified by the £6m sale of Ki Sung-yueng to Swansea City last summer three years after the South Korean midfielder had been purchased for £2m. It is the sort of transfer arithmetic that has made John Park, Celtic's development manager, as big a target for Premier League clubs as any of those who will line up against the Italian champions on Tuesday. It also offers a rebuke to the transfer window coconut shy in England in which vast sums are thrown at a depressing array of mediocrities in a desperate attempt to secure Premier League survival.
Long before the end of this decade English football will be strewn with the corpses of clubs, like brave and brawny Portsmouth or proud Leeds United, who put everything on Premier League black only to see the ball choose red. Too many sturdy English clubs have failed properly to scrutinise the motives and credentials of those who promise them diamonds and glory. Lawwell is adamant that his club will never be engulfed in the swirl of emotional expectation that accompanies it. The majority shareholder, the Irish billionaire Dermot Desmond, is one of the richest men in Britain but, as with each of his other business interests, he expects Celtic's success to be the result of organic growth and prudent house-keeping.
Celtic also developed partnerships in Mexico and India that will help foster community outreach in underprivileged areas. "We see these projects also as an emotional investment as it shows that we are more than simply a football club and that we want to remain true to the principles that led to our birth," Lawwell said.
Mr Dogg's 1996 Snoop's Upside Ya Head is his meditation on loss and redemption. On Tuesday the Celtic supporters will customise it with Ooh Aah Samaras in honour of their talismanic Greek striker Georgios. Snoop though, may be entitled to think they are singing it just for him.

This 304 stainless steel schedule 40 round tubing is suitable for transport of fluids and gases in food processing environments. The tubing is seamless for a smoother interior flow and greater burst strength than welded tubing. It has greater corrosion resistance than 302 stainless steel. This seamless round tubing meets American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) A312 specifications for quality assurance and is suitable for use in applications such as transporting beer, wine, and milk.
Metal tubing, also called fractional tubing, is used to transfer liquids, air, or solids, and it is characterized by a round shape and a hollow center. Metal tubing is commonly made with various grades of austenitic stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and titanium materials and their alloys. Construction types include seamless, welded, or welded and drawn. Seamless tubing has no seam or weld point, which enables it to better withstand high pressure and resist corrosion. Welded tubing, made by rolling and welding metal sheet stock, is weaker than and not as rounded as seamless tubing, but it has a more consistent wall thickness for tighter wall tolerances. Welded and drawn tubing, also known as "drawn over mandrel" (DOM), is typically welded tubing that is drawn through a die and over a mandrel to create a smooth inner diameter, which gives the tubing comparable corrosion resistance to seamless tubing while still offering welded tubing's tighter wall tolerances. Compression, vacuum, sanitary, and flared fittings connect tubing or redirect flow in a fluid handling system. Metal tubing is used in HVAC and plumbing systems and for applications in the aerospace, automotive, chemical processing, food and beverage, manufacturing, and medical industries.

How to Locate Jobs Quickly
Looking for a job takes enormous commitment. Some job seekers find jobs more quickly than others. The longer you are out of work, the more income you are loosing.
Keep in mind that the average time taken to find a job may take months, depending upon the type of position and the "state of the economy." If you spend more time looking for work every day, you will find jobs more quickly. If you can, make job searching your full-time job. Before you begin, know your skills well. Then you will be able to determine a career objective easier and have some direction, so time is not wasted (See the skills section of interviewing ). Targeting your job search to a specific area can considerably shorten your search and increase the likelihood of an interview. The more interviews you acquire, the more likely you will get a job.

Green Terror explodes after halftime for 36-30 Homecoming win over Gettysburg
WESTMINSTER, Md. – Woody Butler (Smithsburg, Md./Middletown) made his only catch of the game count most, catching a 10-yard touchdown from Tom Massucci (Tabernacle, N.J./Seneca) to cap a Homecoming thriller and lift McDaniel to a 36-30 Centennial Conference (CC) football three-overtime victory over Gettysburg on Saturday.
It was freshman Joe Rollins (Temple Hills, Md./Surrattsville) who did the lion's share of the work for the Green Terror (5-4, 4-4 CC), capping his 34-carry, 294-yard rushing day with a 15-yard carry in the third overtime to set up the Massucci-to-Butler score two plays later.
Rollins, who had already secured his second consecutive 100-yard rushing day at halftime, racked up 192 yards after intermission to turn in the second-best rushing day in program history. Only Joe Brockmeyer's program-record 311 yards against Johns Hopkins on Nov. 21, 1970 was better.
It was first time since Broderick Maybank capped the 2004 season with 230 yards that any McDaniel back had even crossed the 200-yard barrier. In total, McDaniel racked up its first 300-yard rushing day (Catholic) and first 500-yard total offense (Gettysburg) outing since that same season.
Jamel Mutunga rushed for 190 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Bullets (5-4, 4-4 CC), who built a 23-9 lead looking for a fifth consecutive victory before Chris Kolb (Keymar, Md./Francis Scott Key) had his second PAT return for two points in three weeks to make a 14-point game at the intermission.
For the second straight week, Rollins started his team's second half off on the right note, breaking the first play from scrimmage for 65 yards and a touchdown. Jake Nichols's (Frederick, Md./Gov. Thomas Johnson) extra point trimmed the deficit to 23-16 just 17 seconds into the third quarter.
A Gettysburg three-and-out netted zero yards and the Green Terror took over at its own 38,
Three Rollins runs for a combined 24 yards and a Bullet personal foul moved the ball to the Gettysburg 23. Rollins ripped off another 22-yard burst before Massucci dove one yard for a touchdown for the second week in a row. Nichols drew the hosts even with 12:11 to play in the third quarter.
From there, neither team was able to penetrate the other's defense inside the opponent 40 before the Bullets took over at the McDaniel 40 with 7:24 on the fourth-quarter clock.
Backup quarterback Kody Smith hit Greg Namrow on the first play for 28 yards to move his team to the Green Terror 12. Three more plays netted a gain of just negative-3 yards before Michael Barrett, who his a career-long 45-yard field goal in the second quarter, pushed the 32-yard attempt wide left.
McDaniel took over with 5:33 to play and used a methodical 15-play drive to move to the Gettysburg 1.
Facing a third-and-goal inside the one-yard line, the Green Terror opted to take a timeout with 19.7 seconds on the clock. Massucci could not connect with Matt Cahill (Broomall, Pa./Haverford Twp.) in the back of the end zone and Nichols pushed the ensuing 17-yard field-goal attempt wide left.
Gettysburg elected to take a knee, sending the game to overtime.
The Bullets had the ball first in the first overtime but Kolb made his eighth interception of the season at the one-yard line three plays into the possession.
The Green Terror was only able to muster eight yards on its first possession before Nichols had his 34-yard field goal attempt blocked to send the teams to a second extra period.
Massucci wasted no time, finding Cahill in the end zone on the first play of the second overtime for a 30-23 advantage.
Mutunga responded, however, taking the second play of Gettysburg's possession down the right sideline for a 22-yard score and force the third overtime.
Barrett's 38-yard field goal attempt in the Bullets' possession sailed wide left once again before Rollins rushed for 15 yards on the Green Terror's first play of the third overtime.
Two plays later, the 10-yard strike to Butler ended the game and gave McDaniel its first overtime victory since a two-overtime victory against Catholic in 2005.
Gettysburg scored on its first two series of the game. Starting quarterback Kyle Whitmoyer capped a long opening drive with a three-yard run before Mutunga broke a 68-yard run on the third play of a drive that started at the Bullet 10.
The 14-0 burst in the game's first 7:13 gave Gettysburg 48 unanswered points in 25 minutes, 10 seconds of game action.
A 24-yard connection between Massucci and Cahill snapped that Bullet stretch on the Green Terror's third play of the second quarter.
Barrett stretched the lead to 17-7 with 11:07 showing before a 21-yard Charles Curcio reception netted a touchdown for 23-7 advantage.
A bad snap on the ensuing PAT allowed Kolb to pick up the miscue and start the comeback.
Cahill finished with six catches for 68 yards and two touchdowns to take over sole possession of the all-time career receptions record with 151, breaking a tie with Teron Powell.
Chad Bucur and Larry DelViscio led the Bullet defense with 14 and 13 tackles, respectively, while Aaron Slaughter (Baltimore, Md./Loyola) and Sam Cox (Towson, Md./Towson) paced the Green Terror defense with 12 and 10 tackles, respectively.
McDaniel, which assured itself a second consecutive non-losing season, concludes the season at Johns Hopkins on Saturday. Game time is 1 p.m.

Indian government plans to receive 3,000 tons of gold from Indian temples
India is a country with a rich gold culture. Indian temples are well-known worldwide for being decorated with incredible gold ornaments, as well people who attend those temples bring gold as a gift for deities.
As the representatives of the Indian government have got stuck in a bind due to the high demand of gold jewelry, they have taken the decision to use the gold reserves of these temples to satisfy such demand, according to the Indian newspaper Economic Times.
The gold reserves of the Indian temples comprise around 3,000 tons, kept in depositories with advanced security and oftentimes it is given to banks or other professional depositories for its keeping. The current Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi is planning to get access to the reserves in May in order to use the gold for providing additional liquidity and satisfying the internal demand for gold jewelry.
Indian government wants to oblige temples to hand over the gold to banks, so it could be melted and given in turn to jewelry industry for further processing. Another objective is to decrease the import of gold from other countries. Such initiative was already undertaken in 1999 when banks received 15 tons of gold from sacred temples.
As it can be seen, the demand for gold in general never stops increasing. The clients of the Emgoldex online store appreciate it as well and have been buying investment gold bars for more than 5 years in the Emgoldex online store and starting their own gold business. The Emgoldex clients receive a high and stable level of income achieving financial independence and prosperity!

Last updated on Thursday, October 3, 2013
(BEDFORD) - Cody Brooks of Orleans, who pleaded guilty to two charges of arson, was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Brooks was arrested for setting fire to his ex-girlfriend's apartment in Mitchell last year.
Lawrence County Superior Court I Judge Michael Robbins sentenced Brooks to ten years for each count. Brooks was also ordered to $5,000 in restitution to the duplex owner John Gass.
An additional charge of criminal recklessness was dismissed.
Brooks, who was living in Orleans at the time of the incident, entered his ex-girlfriend's apartment in the 100 block of Dale Street in Mitchell on Oct. 4, 2012, poured gasoline on her couch and floor and then lit the duplex on fire. The flames destroyed the rental unit and displaced the two families living there.
He was arrested two days later by Bedford Police Department at the Mark III Motel on warrants for two counts of arson and criminal recklessness.
According to police Brooks and several other people armed with baseball bats were fighting on Main Street before the blaze started. When Mitchell Police Officer Cain Gilstrap arrived, Dakota Reynolds told police his mother's ex-boyfriend, Brooks, who was driving a black Sonoma, tried to run Dakota over with the truck and then tried to flee the scene.
Gilstrap says that he was on his way to the Clark station on Ind. 37. Gilstrap drove there, but couldn't find Brooks. While there, police were notified about a house fire in the 100 block of Dale Street. When firefighters from Mitchell Volunteer Fire Department arrived the duplex was engulfed in flames.
While at the scene, police talked to Devin Reynolds, Sheila Reynolds' ex-husband. He told officers that Brooks entered the duplex, ordered Reynolds off the couch and began pouring gasoline on the floor and couch and ignited it.
Devin Reynolds fled the apartment and that's when Brooks got in the truck, drove through the yard and hit Reynolds with the vehicle. Reynolds suffered bruises and abrasions and was treated and released at a local hospital.
Officers also spoke with Danielle Malin, who occupied the apartment at 121 Dale St. She was in the dwelling with her two children, ages 2 months and 1 year, when she heard a guy swearing and banging on the door to the neighboring apartment and yelling to open the door or he was going to burn the house down. She told police she heard a man, who police say was Brooks, leave in his truck. That is when she smelled the odor of gasoline, grabbed her two children and fled from her home.

OTTAWA — Despite his varied claims to be a model and adult-film actor, accused killer Luka Magnotta was an unemployed server with no reported income when he declared bankruptcy in 2007.
Magnotta, arrested Monday in Berlin on allegations he killed and dismembered a Chinese exchange student in Montreal, presents a banal financial accounting of his life though bankruptcy filings that contrast sharply with his carefully cultivated online image.
The bankruptcy documents filed in Mississauga, Ont., do little to support Magnotta's Internet boasting that portrayed a more affluent and exciting life in the sex industry. Many of the photos of Magnotta circulated online show him posing in expensive sports cars or in foreign locations.
He gave interviews about his time working in the porn industry and as a male prostitute.
But when Magnotta, then 24, filed for bankruptcy in March 2007, he listed his occupation as "server" and reported zero monthly income.
The cause of the bankruptcy is listed as "illness, lack of employment and insufficient income to pay off debts." He also claimed he had to pay $200 monthly for expenses relating to an unspecified medical condition.
Magnotta's few assets included a 1995 Ford Explorer worth about $2,500, some furniture and personal effects, and a life insurance policy valued at $1,000 that names his mother as beneficiary.
Magnotta's list of debts of about $17,000 was far longer and includes:
- $800 to the City of Toronto for parking tickets.
- $500 owed to Bally's Total Fitness in Scarborough.
- $200 for unpaid toll charges on Highway 407.
- $1,400 in cell phone bills from Rogers and Bell Mobility.
- $2,500 on back rent for an apartment at 88 Erskin Avenue, in Toronto's Mount Pleasant area.
Also among the unsecured creditors was the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services, which was owed $1,030 for an unspecified debt.
Magnotta indicated in the bankruptcy filings that he did not owe any money for child-support payments — casting doubt on reports that he had a child in Montreal.
His largest outstanding debt was $6,882 owed to an auto-leasing company in Burnaby, B.C.
The monthly budget Magnotta submitted to the court listed $925 for rent, $100 for food, $20 for cigarettes and $100 for a telephone.
The bankruptcy was fully discharged in December 2007.
Magnotta, currently in custody in Berlin, is wanted in Canada in the first-degree murder of Jun Lin, a 33-year-old computer science student from Hubei province in China. A gruesome online video showing the dismemberment of an Asian man's body is believed to have been recorded in Magnotta's apartment. Magnotta is also accused of sending body parts through the mail to the Conservative and Liberal party offices in Ottawa and faces charges of threatening the prime minister.

How about we pretend that it hasn't been five months since I've posted. Agreed? Agreed. Day jobs and paid writing work and girlfriends take precedence. And I've been listening mostly to jazz in my free time, which means that metal has taken a backseat. Gotta admit -- after a few weeks straight of Coltrane, Miles, Monk, Mingus, Bill Evans, Joe Henderson and Brad Mehldau, the new Izegrim and Hyperborean records sound pretty aces. Call it Joni Mitchell syndrome. Ya don't know what you got 'til it's gone. I'm happy metal is back in my life.
More than any record though, I've missed going to metal shows over the last couple months. That's why I'm looking forward to Scion's next free metal matinee, coming up this Saturday at the Roxy in L.A. And also why I'm going to insist that you join me.
Midnight, Saviours and Lightning Swords of Death are all on their "7 Days of Plague" west coast tour. The whole shebang is presented by the good gents at OvrCast and City of Devils but Scion's footing the bill for this particular show (tourmates Archons will sadly not be joining them on stage for this particular stop). It's a perfectly curated lineup, presenting three very different styles that oughta balance out like the ideal imperial IPA, brutally bitter but loaded with the sweet stuff too. Saviours (reviewed here) will provide the riffy hesher fodder. LSOD (reviewed here) will provide the soot-choked atmosphere. If there is a pit (Scion's metal matinees aren't known for 'em) then Midnight will be its genesis. Featuring Jamie Walters of Toxic Holocaust/Nunslaughter fame, Midnight's all off-the-rails blackened punk. All of these guys are road dogs so the sets oughta be tight, or at least loose in that tight way that only a great punk-metal band can do..
As with all Scion shows, this one's free. But you must RSVP here. See you in the pit.

Abrasive net STF D225 P180 GR NET/25 Granat Net
Set versions
The new Granat Net abrasive is the perfect solution for sanding materials that produce a large amount of dust. The open net structure enables dust extraction across the entire surface — for working cleanly, a high material removal capacity, and a long service life of the abrasive. Granat Net is available in five different formats that cover a wide range of different applications.
- Resistant mesh structure with high-tear resistance and edge stability for perfect results right down to the smallest detail — without scratches and without rework
- The perfect solution for machining that produce a large amount of dust. The net structure enables dust extraction across the entire surface. This leads to reduced clogging and a long service life.
- Simple positioning of the sanding disc on the pad, because no hole pattern has to be followed.
Product highlights
Dust extraction across the entire surface
The open net structure extracts the material across the entire surface – a major advantage with soft base layers and those that produce a large quantity of dust.
High tear resistance and edge stability
The resistant net structure protects against tearing and has extremely stable edges. For perfect results right down to the smallest detail, without scratches and without rework.
High economic efficiency
The dust extraction across the entire surface keeps the abrasive and surface permanently dustfree. The sanding performance remains constant, the abrasive becomes clogged up less frequently and can be used for a long time.

The U.S. military's veteran A-10 Thunderbolt II is built for battle: a titanium-armored cockpit protects its pilot from explosive projectile hits, and it can carry weapons like a 30-mm nose-mounted cannon to take out enemy tanks. Now the National Science Foundation (NSF) plans to arm a retired Thunderbolt not with bombs, but with scientific instruments, and use it to study the inside of violent thunderstorms—where winds, hail, and lightning would take down lesser planes.

|A gravy made with flour, cocoa, sugar, butter, vanilla and milk, is best served right over some piping hot biscuits... yes, even if they are straight out of the can!
Chocolate Gravy and BiscuitsOkay. Chocolate and gravy. Two words that you don't likely associate together, so I know this is a totally weird concept. I do!! But hey, don't knock it till ya try it cuz I tell you what, there are lots of google searches that land here looking for this stuff. Give it a try and I'm guessing you'll be sold too.
When you get ready to want some of these {and you will want some of these}, you certainly could make your biscuits from scratch, and of course that's the best way to go always when one has a choice, but if ya got a hankerin' for biscuits in a hurry, I highly advise that you should always have at least one can of whoompf biscuits on hand in the fridge.
Course those kind of biscuits are the biscuit cans that you whoompf against the edge of the counter to pop open, in case you weren't sure about that! I don't care how many times in all my years of livin' that I've done that, the sound of that air poppin' out of those cans has always scared the beejeesus outta me!
Anyhoo... you use the whoompf kind of biscuits because you usually make this when you want chocolate, you want it now, and the only form of chocolate that you have in the house is cocoa in the pantry, so who has time for scratch biscuits under those circumstances?? We are in a hurry here!
Get those biscuits goin' in the oven and start makin' the chocolate gravy. Yep. Chocolate. Plus gravy. Chocolate Gravy. Sounds kinda weird doesn't it, but by now with all the great southern bloggers out there, her Majesty the Sweet Potato Queen {of Jackson, Mississippi I might add} herself, and the now widely famous southerner, Miss Paula Deen, you surely have seen this bit of heaven by now?
Well, now it's about time for you to experience it, I'd have to say!
Now, it's true. This so-called Chocolate Gravy is essentially just a Homemade Chocolate Pudding served hot, over hot-from-the-oven biscuits, we know that. But, we like to call it Chocolate Gravy because, well, it makes us feel like we've gone and gotten all clever and invented something special... so, just play along, 'k?
Recipe: Chocolate Gravy and Biscuits©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 10 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- Homemade buttermilk biscuits or 1 can of buttermilk biscuits (like Grands Homestyle)
- 3 tablespoons of all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa (like Hershey's)
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- 2 cups of whole milk
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
Prepare the biscuits. In the meantime, in a medium sized saucepan whisk together the flour, cocoa, salt and sugar until well mixed. Set that pot over medium high heat and begin to whisk the milk in, a little at a time at first, until the mixture is blended in well. Continue whisking and adding the remaining milk, whisking until the mixture begins to bubble up and thicken. Whisk in the butter until fully incorporated, remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
Grab a hot biscuit, split it in half and pour the gravy over it. Or just pour the chocolate gravy into a small ramekin, grab a biscuit and tear off pieces for tipping. Dance a happy dance.
