 I never mentioned the Space Shuttle being in orbit at the time, either. I did, however, make the assumption that it was an active Shuttle, not one in a museum, where interested persons could climb all over it with few restrictions.

 I am quite aware that the set of people who have access to the Shuttle is much larger than the set of people who fly in the Shuttle.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

George Stewart doesn't like comparisons, but asked to take any receiver he's coached in the past and compare him, based on age and experience level, to Vikings rookie Sidney Rice, Minnesota's wide receivers coach came up with a pretty weighty association.
"He is very close to Terrell Owens at this particular stage in his career because Terrell was a gangly guy when he first came to us in San Francisco," Stewart said. "Sidney obviously is gangly, tall. In terms of work ethic, wanting to understand, wanting to apply things that he's learned on the field, Sidney's very similar to T.O."
The Vikings drafted Rice in the second round (44th overall) out of South Carolina, where Rice spent just two years but still became the only player in school history to have back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving seasons.
This season, the 6-foot-4, 200-pound rookie is proving valuable in the red zone and, Stewart said, in blocking.
In Week 1 against Atlanta, Rice had a downfield block on Falcons cornerback DeAngelo Hall that enabled Adrian Peterson to take a swing pass 60 yards for a touchdown. In Week 4 against Green Bay, Rice leapt high in the end zone and took the ball away from Packers cornerback Jarrett Busch for a touchdown. And on other occasions, Rice has proven his ability to break free from defenders, even if those plays haven't always ended in receptions.
Rice has 10 receptions, 106 receiving yards and one touchdown. Those numbers, Stewart said, will only get better.
"He was a good player out of South Carolina," Stewart said, "but he has improved so much on his ability to block, his ability to get in and out of breaks in his routes. He's such a tall person, long-legged, but he has really worked hard in terms of getting in and out of breaks in his routes.
"He's a big 6-foot-4½, 6-foot-5 athlete that has a 40-inch vertical. He demonstrated that against Green Bay. Obviously you try to feature things that he can do. We want to try to accentuate his positives. He does a great job in terms of jumping and catching the football."
That's why the Vikings drafted Rice. His tall, lanky frame isn't known for great speed, but Stewart said Rice's speed isn't a negative. His ability to snatch a ball out of a crowd, Stewart said, is Rice's biggest strength and, Stewart said, the wide receiver would be an integral part of Minnesota's red zone offense as the season moves forward.
"It's just getting a chance and being able to take advantage of the opportunities you get," Rice said. "I think we're doing a pretty good job. I think we've still got a few things to work on. That's why we're here now at practice. I'm still learning."
Rice caught six passes for 75 yards against Green Bay, compared with two receptions for 10 yards against Atlanta, no receptions in Week 2 and two receptions for 21 yards in Week 3. His increased role, Stewart said, is largely the result of Rice's quick learning curve.
"I don't know what type of student he was, but I'm quite sure he was a good student because he's a guy that you don't have to spend a lot of time with," Stewart said. "He's not a guy you have to tell things three, four, five, six times. You tell him once, and he gets it."
Veteran wide receiver Bobby Wade has watched Rice all season and said he's never seen a rookie – "especially a young rookie" – progress so quickly.
"He's able to make plays, he's able to take the learning in the classroom and apply it on the field, he's a guy who works hard in practice, which is really, really tough to find," Wade said. "He's just really trying to get it every time he has the opportunity to, so I'm excited to see him progress each week. Obviously I think the more opportunities he gets the more he'll shine. I think he's ready to step up to the plate and be everything we want him to be."

Does your child have a lovey? Or did they have one and it's now tucked away in your attic? My 9 year old had Bob. Before he could say many words he called him "Ba" – so we named him "Bob" and that was that.
My son wasn't sleeping well, and one night I took the tank top I was wearing to bed and left it with him in his crib. I had read someplace that my smell would be comforting, so I decided to try it. The next morning my shirt was wet – he had been sucking on it. A friend had given him one of those blankets with the stuffed heads, so I put it under my shirt (so it would smell like me), and let him sleep with it that night. He slept much better, and started carrying it around the house. We rotated it with two others that were the same color, but he preferred one, and he became Bob.
Bob was so important that I went on ebay and found a twin. I probably paid 3 times the value, but since I couldn't find Bob in a store I went for it. I washed Bob2 in every load of clothes for a week or so, until he looked like Bob1. Then I took a deep breath and swapped them. My son didn't notice – score!
So we rotated the two Bobs, making sure he didn't notice that there were two, so we could keep swapping them to be washed. We did this until around age five (by now Bob was only a bedtime friend) when my son accidentally got them both at once. I held my breath, afraid he would be upset, but he held them up and yelled – "There are two!!"
At some point we told him Bob could no longer leave the house, and then on his own he only slept with him. One day we were cleaning out old stuffed animals and toys and he told me he didn't want Bob anymore, so I put them in the attic. He gave it up on his own. His brother didn't like loveys, and didn't need them as he was content to twirl his hair with his right hand while sucking two fingers on his left. Thankfully he gave that habit up on his own, and now only occasionally twirls his hair.
This evening I was driving my (former lovey-loving) son to his drum lesson, and we were really low on gas. So I pulled into a gas station I never visit, and there in front of me was a pink lovey, a monkey. I took her picture and posted it on the EMM Facebook page, knowing that this dirty pink monkey could be someone's Bob. Before I finished pumping my gas someone had posted that it was her daughters. That's so cool. I'm so glad I could help Dorothy get her friend back.

NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – Bobby Wilder admits he will field a very young, and relatively inexperienced bunch this upcoming football season. Old Dominion University's head football coach, on the other hand, likes the improvement of a unit Monarch fans have had their eye on over Spring practice- the defense.
"We did not rush the passer well last year, that's something we did very well this Spring and our defensive line was aggressively after (quarterback Taylor Heinicke)," said Wilder on Monday."(Heinicke) didn't have a lot of time."
While the Monarch's starting senior quarterback completed 23-of-36 passes for 233 yards and three touchdowns in the team's annual blue-white Spring game, a bulk of those numbers didn't come until the second half. Heinicke was held to just one touchdown in the first half, and that score didn't come until midway through the second quarter.
Up to that point, the defensive unit held their record-setting gunslinger in check.
"The second thing you saw was the ability of our linebackers to get under routs, for our corners to get underneath routs. They're weren't a lot of throwing lanes early in that game for Taylor. That's good for us and good for our program."

Full Product Description
What Drives Your Church? "The Purpose-Driven Church has brought focus and direction to more pastors and church leaders than you can count. What a gift! I can't imagine anyone who's serious about the church not reading it." John Ortberg Author of Everybody's Normal Till You Get to Know Them "After reading The Purpose-Driven Church in 1995, I ordered twenty copies for my staff and elders. Eight years later, the message and strategy contained in this work are as significant and relevant as ever." Andy Stanley Senior Pastor, North Point Community Church "In 1985, I heard Rick present the contents of this book in a seminar format. As he spoke, for the first time I imagined leaving my teaching career in higher education to enter pastoral ministry. My heart was won by Rick's vision of the Church driven by her God-given purpose--rather than by doctrinal arguments, denominational competition, or institutional survival. That vision has been alive in me ever since, and you can catch it too, through these pages." Brian McLaren Pastor, Author, Fellow in Emergent (Emergentvillage.com) "One hundred years from now church leaders will be studying the movement known as 'purpose driven' churches.;They will find Rick Warren as its architect and The Purpose-Driven Church as his blueprint." Erwin Raphael McManus Founder of Awaken and Lead Pastor of Mosaic "Although the actual form of ministry may look different from different types of people, there are extremely critical principles within this book that we all need to know, no matter what generation or philosophical mindset we are involved with." Dan Kimball Author of The Emerging Church and Pastor of Vintage Faith Church Discover What Business Leaders Can Learn from the Church "The best book on entrepreneurship, business, and investment..."

Today, Samsung Electronics has announced that it has made an operating profit of 5.29 trillion won ($4.87 billion) with revenues of 52.73 trillion ( $48.6 billion) last quarter. Even if these sound like big number, it should be noted that the company made a profit of 8.31 trillion won from 59.28 trillion won revenue last year in same quarter. The current results reflect respective drops of 36 and 11 percent. In the same Quarter, iPhone maker Apple Inc has registered a record-breaking profit of up $18 billion.
This comes at a time when Samsung is seriously considering in changing its smartphone strategy, as the mobile division is still down 64 percent in operating profit year-on-year. Samsung recently announced that it will officially drop its dependence on 3rd party chips due to technical reasons. They are hoping their mobile division to grow in this year, with emerging markets like China and India and the continued global rollout of LTE highlighted as major targets.
In their statement, Samsung emphasized that it will use "new materials, innovative design, and differentiated features" in its upcoming products. Samsung also promises a "diversified" wearables lineup with "unique designs."
We have already seen Chinese companies like Xiaomi over take Samsung in China, and on the Apple camp, the company registered a $18 billion on $74.6 billion in revenue, far above what it forecasted back in October, and marking the highest quarterly profit so far. Apple sold 74.5 million iPhones, 21.4 million iPads, and 5.52 million Macs last year.

From the Shreveport Police Department:
Three suspects in a shooting that injured a Shreveport man are behind bars this evening following their arrest by Shreveport Police.
Just before 12:30 p.m. on August 1, 2013, Shreveport Police were called to the 400 block of Egan Street relative to a reported shooting. Upon officer's arrival at the scene, contact was made with the victim, 25 year old Marcus Mathis who was suffering a single gunshot wound to the hip area. Mathis was subsequently transported to LSUHSC with injuries considered to be non life-threatening.
Shreveport Police Violent Crimes detectives were summoned to the scene of the shooting, immediately initiating an investigation. Information gathered during preliminary investigation revealed Mathis, while at a home in the 400 block of Egan Street, was apparently engaged in a verbal dispute of an unknown nature involving subjects who arrived at the home driving a black Ford Crown Victoria. During the dispute, one subject inside the sedan reportedly exited the vehicle and began firing shots, one of which is believed to have struck Mathis. It is undetermined at this point if Mathis exchanged fire with the shooters. Subjects inside the vehicle fled the scene immediately following the shooting but were quickly spotted by police responding to the scene. Upon officer's detection of the alleged shooter's car, a subsequent vehicle pursuit ensued during which time, two of the vehicle's four occupants fled the sedan on foot near the intersection of Forest Avenue at Creswell Road. The driver and a single passenger remained inside the vehicle continuing their attempts to elude officers, allegedly tossing a weapon from the vehicle in the process. The pursuit came to an abrupt halt when the driver of the suspect vehicle crashed into an unsuspecting motorist who was traveling along West 75th Street and St. Vincent Avenue. Following the collision, the suspect driver and passenger fled the sedan on foot abandoning their vehicle in the roadway. A brief foot pursuit followed at which time both suspects were taken into custody. The driver of the vehicle struck by the suspects car was an elderly male whose name has not been released. The man; however was transported to a local hospital with only minor injuries.
Police took a third suspect into custody near the 400 block of Gilbert Drive after a police K-9 tracked the man to a detached garage where he was found hiding. A fourth suspect involved in the caper remains outstanding; however authorities are confident his capture in imminent. In all, police recovered two weapons believed used during the shooting along with an ammunition magazine belonging to a third weapon. Authorities arrested 27 year old Brandon Lee, along with 24 year old Jakari Lee and 19 year old Tavonte Polk. Polk faces charges of Attempted Second Degree Murder and Resisting an Officer. Brandon Lee faces charges of Convicted Felon in possession of a firearm, while Jakari Lee has been charged with felony Flight in a vehicle. All three men were subsequently booked into the Shreveport City Jail. Much investigation remains to be done in the case as investigators are working to identify and apprehend the fourth suspect believed involved in the shooting. Persons with information about this crime is urged to contact Caddo Crime Stoppers at (318) 673-7373 or on their website at www.lockemup.org

Advice for Saner Living: Give Yourself Mondays Off
Yesterday's post about Giving Yourself a Break in the Morning resonated with sleepy heads and imperfectionists alike. Although many readers got hung up on the facetious suggestion to save time by applying deodorant mid-commute, reader Dulcibella's comment was exactly in the spirit of the post: her own "Mondays off" policy as a way of giving herself a much-needed literal and figurative break.
All of us should learn to be kinder to ourselves, so we can be kinder to others. If there's a day when you can sleep a little later, make a ritual of it. Make it really special. Sleep in, have a special breakfast, leave the dishes and the unmade bed. This is the day to take a taxi or read a novel on the
train instead of doing work. Stretch it out to make the whole day pleasant.
When my kids were young, I gave myself Mondays 'off'. Even when I was working, I still counted it as a day off. My priority on Monday was my own pleasure.
At work, where possible, I scheduled meetings I was looking forward to on Mondays and the ones I dreaded on other days. I organized and tidied and had lunch out with a friend and tried to do the parts of my work that nourished me most.
At home, we always had the same meal on Mondays: spaghetti and meatballs. I put frozen meatballs and tomato sauce in the slow cooker before I left in the morning and only had to do a salad and pasta when we got home. Obviously with young kids you can't ever be entirely selfish, but it doesn't hurt them at all to know that Mom's need to have fun, too. On Mondays the kids got packed lunches with the processed foods I normally didn't allow (and they loved).
After they were in bed, Monday was the day I could go to bed early with a book and not feel guilty about all the other things I wasn't doing. Mondays kept me sane and able to enjoy and work hard every other day of the week.
Thanks for the insightful comment! I'm picking Thursdays...

TPC Scottsdale, the home of the biggest party-hole in all of golf -- the par-3 16th -- plays host once again this week to the PGA Tour's Waste Management Open.
Kyle Stanley returns as the defending champion after a remarkable week of redemption a year ago. Stanley suffered a crushing defeat in the 2012 Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, losing a three-shot lead on the 72nd hole before falling to Brandt Snedeker in a playoff. A week later, Stanley bounced back from what could have been a devastating blow to his career to win the Waste Management Open.
TPC Scottsdale is the venue for this week's Waste Management Phoenix Open. Have you played there? If so, click on the course names to write a review of your experience. Also, be sure to check out our PGA.com Course Guide to review all the courses you've played and to find the perfect course for your next round.
Find more PGA Professionals in our PGA.com Instructor search.
Destination: Scottsdale/Phoenix
Are you thinking about taking a golf vacation in Scottsdale/Phoenix area? If so, don't just go there without reading up on the courses. PGA.com has an extensive database of courses all over the U.S. with reviews from people who have played them. Learn more and put together your itinerary.
Before this week's tournament teed off, we caught up with TPC Scottsdale PGA Head Professional Greg Wolf for a little Q&A.
Wolf talked a little about the tournament, but also about why the Phoenix/Scottsdale area is such a great place to visit.
PGA.com: Thanks for joining us, Greg. Let's start out with a few words on your defending champion, Kyle Stanely. For those who don't remember, it was at Torrey Pines in 2012 where the young Stanley lost in a playoff to Brandt Snedeker after taking a three-shot lead into the 72nd hole. People thought, mentally, he'd be damaged for years to come whenever -- if ever -- Stanley got into contention again. Well, fast forward seven days and he wins the Waste Management Open. What an incredible comeback story. What was it like to watch that?
Wolf: Wish I knew what is like to watch it, but I was too busy working. People ask me all the time about watching the event or the partying that goes on during the event. They all get the same answer, "Yep, looks like everyone is having fun." As fun as it looks, I'd much rather be doing what I do that week. Although I wouldn't mine taking in the festivities one day!
PGA.com: Everyone knows that the Waste Management Open is the biggest and best party on the PGA Tour all year long. For those visiting from out of town, where should they eat, play some golf and experience the Phoenix/Scottsdale nightlife?
Wolf: Well playing golf is pretty simple. You can play here -- we're a public facility. The only course that you can play where the pros play. We also have our Champions course located across the street which hosts the final stage of Champions Tour Q-School every other year. Besides our courses, I believe there are over 200 courses within a one-hour drive of central Phoenix. As far as nightlife goes, Old Town Scottsdale is the place to be. The crowds you see during the WMPO are usually in Old Town the other 51 weeks of the year.
PGA.com: Speaking of Old Town, you always hear people who have visited Scottsdale talk about it. Can you tell us a little about Old Town and what makes it so special?
Wolf: Four things. 1. The history behind Scottsdale and the OLD WEST theme in some areas; 2. The shopping is unbelievable, though not my thing. Whatever you're looking for, good chance it's in Old Town; 3. The restaurants rival NYC, Vegas, LA, San Fran, etc. You can't beat the food and atmosphere Old Town has to offer; 4. The nightlife is bar none the best. I'm pretty much past the party season now that I have two kids (Ella & Mason), but my wife and I had a blast for as number of years!
PGA.com: There are so many great golf courses in your area. Which course -- that the general public can play -- provides the best bang for the buck?
Wolf: Our Champions Course is probably the best bang for the buck. Ever since it was remodeled in 2007, it has become my favorite course. The design and conditions are second to none. It doesn't get the credit it deserves because of its big brother, but I actually prefer to play the Champions over the Stadium.
PGA.com: One last question for you, Greg. What has been your single most memorable moment at TPC Scottsdale?
Wolf: Meeting my wife Stephanie. When I was an assistant back in 2000, she was a beverage cart attendant and we hit it off pretty quick. As I mentioned earlier, we had a lot of fun in Old Town. I don't know what I'd be doing if I didn't meet her, but I know I wouldn't be as happy as I am now.

OTTAWA - A Canadian army colonel's attempt to sue National Defence for $6 million for defamation has been tossed out by the Ontario Superior Court.
The case involving Col. Bernard Ouellette was dismissed Monday, but details were only made public Thursday with the presiding judge noting that the officer's claims were still before the military's grievance board.
Justice Timothy Ray also said the case did not meet the legal test for slander.
Ouellette was dismissed from his command in Haiti almost three years ago following allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a woman who worked for the United Nations.
He took the extraordinary step of suing National Defence and fellow officers for defamation after the department confirmed media inquiries about his dismissal and stated the long-serving officer was being investigated.
Members of the military deployed overseas are required to follow a strict non-fraternization code.

Have Fun With Chemistry With ChemCompounds (iOS) and Make Walter White Proud
Have you ever wondered what kind of iOS app/game would the fictional but recently deceased meth dealer/overall bad-ass former chemistry teacher Walter White would really be good at? I'm betting 10 bucks that it would be ChemCompounds. I was a science stream student back in the day but chemistry wasn't my cup of tea, simply because I had a hard time remembering formulas.
Writing this review almost made me wish I had ChemCompounds back then. Having mentioned that, ChemCompounds reminded me of the e-learning tools that we used to purchase in CD-ROM format, but with a much nicer, slicker, touch-based presentation.
The typical flow of this Universal app (iPhone, iPad & iPod touch) involves players, or should I say students, picking the level of difficulty and then dragging the necessary elements to build the compound shown on the screen. ChemCompounds has over 850+ compounds and players, or should I say students, can forgo the difficulty selection and customize base on which compounds they would like to revise. The amount of compounds and the customization mode make Chem Compounds an invaluable study companion in the guise of a game.
Presentation wise, the 2D-graphics offer a clear-cut view of things with no distractions, and ChemCompounds actually reminded me of flash cards. This is pretty impressive since it shows that the folks behind ChemCompounds actually thought about making an effective education tool, and I'm glad to say they generally succeeded. One way of improving an already impressive app would be to have a "revision mode". This is for folks who just want to revise without going through the "several strikes (wrongly-guessed compounds) and it's game over" style of play.
That aside, Nineoverten.com highly recommends ChemCompounds and rates it at a 5 out of 5. At 99 cents, the app is of very good value, check it out on the App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/chemcompounds/id698448355?ls=1&mt=8.

The Omission of the Gospel
Yes, we are all guilty of it. I am guilty of it in my dealings every day. Even with Christians, but especially with non-Christians. It's not that we don't "preach the gospel" or "witness" to the world. Some of us do that, sometimes. We think of it as a separate activity. But what about the 99% of the rest of the time, when we pursue our unwritten, unspoken agreement with the world, to live life publicly among them as if we share a common foundation?
(Yes, Reformed theologians, I know the doctrine of common grace, and I'm not contradicting it here.)
We essentially allow our neighbors, friends, co-workers to believe that what motivates them motivates us. But it simply can't. At times like 9/11, we realize how utterly futile any motives and trustings are which aren't rooted in the one true God. But most of the time, we guiltily go along with the public fiction that we are, essentially, pulling in the same direction as most of our fellow men and women. Even if we know differently inside, we aren't willing to say so. Where is our duty to fellow man?
This posting is just a weak reflection of the excellent musings I found today on Rob Wilkerson's post on Adrian Warnock's blog. Thanks brother for the careful thinking.

As I see it: Big Bang a big success
Published 8:00 pm, Friday, July 9, 2010
The Big Bang is over but it sure was a great time for everyone. For the past six or seven years (now that I'm not "on call") we have enjoyed hosting a picnic in our yard on the 4th of July.
Port Austin's parade, which dates back over 50 years and usually has about 100 units, was well attended in spite of the scorching heat.
There were entries from all over the county and of course a fair share of politicians. They deserve votes after walking that parade route in the 90-degree heat. Miss Michigan looked fresh as she graced us with her beauty by riding in a convertible. Bay Port's Pirate Ship may have been my personal favorite float.
My grandson, Kyle Thrushman, brought along a guest from the city and it was as much fun watching him as the parade. I don't believe he had ever seen tractors and farm equipment as big as those in our parade. His eyes popped out and he grabbed his phone to take pictures of them. As a "first timer" this young man was as entertained as the little kids were while he leaped to catch milk cartons and beads.
I really want to commend the parents who attended the parade this year. V ery few of them let their youngsters run out in front of the floats and farm equipment with the giant tires.
Last year and in prior years, I commented in my column about who would be responsible if one of the kids got hurt. I'm sure all elders at past parades watched with apprehension, fearful for the young people. Kudos to the parents!
As soon as the parade ended in downtown Port Austin, my guest and I picked up our benches and headed for my yard. We continued the celebration that began with the parade at the end of my street and ended with the fireworks, which we view from our yard. As I sat enjoying my hot dog (a picnic treat), I watched as families passed by enjoying being together. It reminded me of years ago when families spent the 4th holiday together, from the parade right on through the fireworks.
Another behavior I noted was those driving around town, including the young people who demonstrated caution. There was no tire squealing, no racing engines and very few car stereos blaring.
With all the construction taking place at the harbor, we wondered how the fireworks would be presented and where the onlookers could watch them. It appeared as though the village, state and contractors all worked together to direct visitors to areas where they could park and to additional areas for viewing. It did involve a bit of hiking, but that was part of the fun. The combined efforts were supported by county, State Police and Department of Natural Resources and Environment enforcement, as well as Port Austin's police force to ensure public safety.
The fireworks presentation was perhaps the very best I've ever viewed in Huron County. I know my guest enjoyed it and all of us agreed the show seemed to go longer than in prior years and was just spectacular! It was just a great holiday in my town, businesses did well and those who stayed open later seemed to enjoy lots of customers. Of special note was the brand new Visitor Center opening just in time for the holiday.
I observed no problems in spite of all the construction, there was no grumbling or whining — folks just had a good time. I hope all the rebuilding at the waterfront will result in Port Austin's harbor being one of the finest in the state. Businesses will benefit because there are few docking facilities located such a short walking distance to a town that offers so many restaurants and shops, plus anything boaters may need.

UPDATE: Union response added.
Facing a threat of protests by union aerospace workers, organizers have canceled a conference in Seattle to promote aerospace outsourcing in Mexico.
Boeing's two main unions — the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District Lodge 751 and the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace — had called on MexicoNow to cancel the event or face protests of the event and local companies that participate. (See here and here)
"It seems paradoxical that organizations would want to suppress the free exchange of information in the aerospace industry global value chains," MexicoNOW Editor Sergio Ornelas wrote in a news release Tuesday. "It is sad that such threats take place in a free market where the focus needs to be on long-term competitiveness and lower prices for consumers. It is because of such threats and the potential for disruption, as well as concern for our attendees that we choose to cancel this event."
Ornelas defended the premise of the event, writing:
The United States, Mexico and Canada are economic partners facing global competition.
Aerospace manufacturing has a lot to do with globalization and competitiveness. In order for the aerospace industry to work, it requires many people from many manufacturing platforms as competitive supply chains.
Manufacturers distribute their different work processes where they are most efficient … And the low-cost manufacturing regions make companies that go there more competitive in world markets. Actually, production sharing or outsourcing in low cost countries help global firms to conserve higher paying jobs in developed nations.
Consumers in the U.S. and around the world cherish production sharing practices because they are able to enjoy products and services at affordable prices.
Aerospace is a growing industry in Mexico, which is participating in the industry's global competitiveness. It is so important to understand that the vast majority of material sourcing for the Mexico aerospace industry represents billions of dollars of purchases from U.S. manufacturers – something that supports thousands of jobs in the United States.
The aerospace industry faces intense competitive pressure. For many businesses, Mexico offers opportunity to improve their competitive position through a strategic partnership that maximizes the strengths of their North American locations, while encouraging the development of new business. This is evidenced by many European firms that have launched aerospace manufacturing projects in Mexico to serve the North American Market.
Responding in a statement to the conference cancellation, District 751 President Tom Wroblewski said:
I'm pleased that the MexicoNow group has called off its conference, and I'd like to thank our Washington state Congressional delegation — specifically Sen. Patty Murray and Congressmen Jim McDermott, Rick Larsen and Jay Inslee — for their support in this matter. Thanks also to our brothers and sisters in SPEEA and with the Washington State Labor Council, who were prepared to join us during next week's protests.
And my very special thanks go to the hundreds of Machinists Union members and stewards who volunteered to turn out and help with any potential protest actions to oppose the conference. Your solidarity has made a difference in protecting Washington State aerospace jobs.
Clearly, this is the exact wrong time in America to sit back and allow more jobs to be exported.
The goal of next week's planned protests was to hold the companies taking part in the conference accountable for their actions. At a time when 358,000 Washington state residents are unemployed, untold thousands more have given up on ever finding a job — and one in seven are on food stamps — we felt it was essential that someone ask the conference participants a very pointed question: Why are you working so hard to undermine this state's economy, and send these vital aerospace jobs out of the country?
I do think it's time to have a frank discussion about outsourcing in America. Sending work to Mexico or China may win short-term gains for the companies that practice it, but our members know first-hand how it can destroy a company's — or a nation's — long-term competitiveness in aerospace. If America is to maintain its leadership in this global industry, our companies and our nation need to invest here at home — and not overseas.
This union remains committed to growing Washington's aerospace industry, and we will eagerly partner with anyone who wants to help us create more opportunities for aerospace workers – even Sr. Ornelas, should he come to us with a plan that realistically grows jobs in this state.
But as long as the goal of MexicoNow is to steal American jobs, we will continue to oppose any effort the group might make to organize any outsourcing conference in Washington state.

Bridezilla Cristal punishes a tardy bridesmaid and loses her mind when her mother-in-law tries to "help" with the centerpieces. Bridezilla Davina is left frenzied and fuming over her fiance's bachelor party. Show Full Recap
Punk rock Bridezilla Cristal obsesses over missing bridesmaids at her bridal shower, and treats the pain with alcohol. Unfortunately, this leads to brazen complaints about the gifts, which doesn't go over too well with the gift-givers! When her bridesmaid is late yet again to the hair and make up trial, our short-tempered Zilla comes up with just the right punishment—or should we say banishment? But Cristal gets some punishment of her own when her fiancé sends his mother Sherry to help Cristal with the centerpieces. But when Sherry tries to cut her future daughter-in-law out of the picture, our Zilla ends up in tears. Later, a trip to the bakery proves disastrous when Cristal's indecision brings out the Zilla in the groom himself. Meanwhile, overbearing Bridezilla Davina guards the front door to ensure her fiancé finishes the seating chart instead of slipping away to his bachelor party. But this Zilla's temper is tested when her brothers arrive to take Brian out. The groom-to-be acquiesces to his duties for the moment, but it may be too late to stop Davina's escalating rampage. And when our Zilla thinks a stripper has arrived at their home, she goes nuclear and threatens to call off the wedding! After Brian spends the night on the couch, the wedding is back on, and Davina is back to her usual nagging. Later, our Zilla sharpens her scissors, determined to confront the best man, and his unruly hair, once and for all! The morning of the wedding, Davina's fear of being late gets the best of her and by the time the reception rolls around, this Zilla couldn't care less about celebrating.Hide Full Recap

UPDATE: They're back. And yes, it was the leaking of Westboro members' personal info that did it.
ORIGINAL ARTICLE: @YourAnonNews, online hacktivist group Anonymous' most popular Twitter account, has been suspended. It appears to have happened just before noon ET.
Popular but significantly less popular Anonymous account @Anon_Central has published what they say is Twitter's official reply to the @YourAnonNews account holder - "You may not publish or post other people's private and confidential information."
It's official @Twitter reply : You may not publish or post other people's private and confidential information. | #YAN#Anonymous
Here's the applicable portion of the Twitter Rules:
You may not publish or post other people's private and confidential information, such as credit card numbers, street address or Social Security/National Identity numbers, without their express authorization and permission.
It's possible that the personal information that Anonymous is "guilty" of posting comes from members of the Westboro Baptist Church. The group recently targeted the "church" for their insistence on "protesting" the funerals of the Sandy Hook shooting victims. Anonymous' operation did involve the leaking of Westboro members' personal information.
@YourAnonNews planned for this, setting up and backup account @YANBackUp on December 4th:
This account will remain dorment unless: 1. @YourAnonNews gets rate limited. 2. @YourAnonNews gets suspended. - From the #YAN team.
If you want to follow the updates on the situation, they're the account to follow (along with other Anonymous accounts, to a lesser extent):
#Anonymous, #YAN and its contributors wait to hear from @Twitter. Our ticket number is #6930160.
Free speech is dead.

The politically inspired murals of Belfast are among the most startling sights in the city. Created by artists from both sides of the conflict (Republican and Loyalist, the former being Catholic and the latter Protestant) as a visual depiction of troubled times in the city, the murals represent both the anxieties and aspirations of the two communities. Visitors can head to the Falls Road or Shankill areas of Belfast to get a good look at some of the world's finest large scale political murals. Many insist that the best way to see these murals on the walls of the two different communities in Belfast is to take one of the famous Black Taxi Tours of Belfast which offer great views of the content of these murals and an explanation of the meaning and symbolism for both sides of the conflict.

Vienna (Sep. 8)
Stanislaw Steiger, who was arrested in Lemberg for throwing a gas bomb at president Wojciechowski, graduated from the Vienna University last February when he returned to Poland. Steiger was never active in the Zionist Movement and it is known that he was formerly an adherent of Ruthanian Independence. It is possible, therefore, that his act was prompted by his Ruthanian sympathies.
Another version current here is that Steiger intended to throw the harmless bomb at the president as a demonstration of resentment against the mistreatment of the Jewish academic youth in Poland who are compelled to go abroad to obtain an education on account of the practice of Numerous Clauses or the anti-Semitism of the professors in the Polish universities.

"It's a tremendous honor," he said. "We have won silver (in 2004) and bronze (in 2008), so there's one more to go."
Mazeika has coached the U.S. men at four world championships, including teams that won silver medals in 2001 and 2003 and a bronze medal in 2011.

Two Argentina fans suffer fatal heart attacks after country's semi-final win over the Netherlands
One of the men to suffer cardiac arrest was 16-year-old Erik Tench
Two Argentinian fans, including a 16-year-old, have died from heart attacks while watching Argentina's World Cup semi-final penalty shoot-out win over the Netherlands on Wednesday night.
Erik Tench, 16, and Gustavo Daniel Hofer, 49, both suffered cardiac arrests as heroics from Argentinian goalkeeper Sergio Romero saw the South American side dump the Netherlands out of the tournament and progress to their first World Cup final for 24 years.
The 16-year-old Tench died during a screening of the game in the town square of La Banda in Argentina's northern province of Santiago del Estero.
According to Argentinian paper Clarin, Tench had been feeling unwell during extra-time but it was not until penalties that he collapsed with chest pains.
The 16-year-old was rushed to hospital, but died on arrival.
A friend told Clarin: "In extra time he said he wasn't feeling well, that he was nervous, but because we were all suffering like that due to the game we just laughed"
"We thought he was OK" he added.
The news of Tench's death came after it was reported 49-year-old Gustavo Daniel Hofer had also suffered a fatal heart attack after the Argentina Netherlands shoot-out.
Hofer was celebrating his country's victory in the town of Marcos Juarez in Argentina's Cordoba region when he suffered the attack.
According to reports, the newspaper seller was running through the town's streets with other fans before his death.
This is the third reported case of football fans dying as a direct result of watching this year's World Cup.
On the 29 June, a 69-year-old Brazil fan also suffered a fatal heart attack during Brazil's penalty shoot-out last 16 win over Chile.
This followed the news of one Chinese man dying of a reported heart attack caused by excessive sleep deprivation after he had stayed up for consecutive nights to watch World Cup group stage matches.

Breakup Blues? Why Cats Make Better Partners!
Have you seen this tongue-and-cheek list of why cats make better partners than men? I added a few, so feel free to add more of your own in the comment section below. Ladies, no matter who you date or marry, you will likely find a nugget of truth in this list. So, men take note, or better yet, write your own list about why cats (or dogs, horses, parrots etc.,) make better partners than women!
When a cat sleeps all day it is natural, not annoying.
You never have to spend time with your cat's mother.
You will never get a call from your cat's ex.
You can stroke a cat without automatically being expected to have sex.
A cat never comes home drunk after being out all night with friends.
Cats never pretend they know how to fix what is broken.
Cats can fend for themselves.
It is okay if your cat rubs up against the guests in your home.
Cats love rubbing up to your legs regardless if you shaved or not.
Cats do not care what you wear.
Cats do not (and cannot) fake loving you.
Cats love to see you come home from shopping with lots of bags!
A cat is never late for dinner.
Cats do not burp.
Cats can – and should be – neutered if they stray.
Your cat does not care what size your boobs are.
Of course, not all men are like this – and to those men who are honorable and respectable, I say kudos to you! And many mother-in-laws are actually wonderful — and those are probably the ones that raised their sons to be good solid trustworthy men who, just like a cat, do not rub up against guests in your living room nor care whether you shaved your legs or not!

When Swamy got personal with Arnab Goswami
If the Congress has its Sanjay Jha,then the BJP has a Meenakshi Lekhi
If the Congress has its Sanjay Jha,then the BJP has a Meenakshi Lekhi. But the real joker in the pack is Subramanian Swamy, the man who can lead any argument and allegation with a straight face.
I have been tracking him since 1977 when I remember being pulled to a family friend's home where he was going to be visiting. I was in school then, but have very vivid memories of him who was introduced to us as a Harvard professor and a China specialist.
Which he was. Over the years, Swamy has worn various hats and has taken on on the political establishment and leaders. And he does it with some flourish, and oozes a great deal of confidence. It isn't easy to work him up, and though an Arnab Goswami did manage to touch many raw nerves on Monday night.
Even early in the argument, Arnab said something to the effect that while sticks and stones can break his bones, "words can never hurt me". He was, I am sure, expecting an offensive from Swamy as he kept heckling him about what proof Narendra Modi had when he made the allegation that West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee had received Rs 1.8 crore per painting from dubious sources.
At first,Swamy was polite. "You are speaking like a cheap cross-examination lawyer," he said. And then when Arnab continued to jeer, he said: "You are a making a fool of yourself". Or this: "You are no more an anchor" or: "You are just a rabble rouser".
And then came the ultimate barb when Arnab got into his way again: "Are you genetically incapable of keeping quiet?" It wasn't a "never ever" moment as it was when Meenakshi Lekhi had a made a below-the-belt charge some months back. But when Arnab did ask Swamy to not get personal, the BJP leader retorted that it isn't a one-way street.
While I was visibly aghast at the new low touching news television, I was quite surprised that many of my non-media friends were delighted that Swamy had done Arnab in. "You journalists think only you have the right to be offensive." Hmmmm.

In 2010, the bicentennial anniversary of Mexico's revolution against Spain, Mexican President Felipe Calderon hoped he could orchestrate several crucial reforms that Mexico needed. Mexico had not grown much over the course of the last decade, losing competitiveness to China and other Asian countries. Several of its institutions, including labor, education, healthcare, energy, and antitrust, seemed uncompetitive. But with a weaker peso and greater governmental attention to infrastructure, Calderon hoped that Mexico's higher-tech exports could recapture U.S. market share and make headway in Europe and Latin America.

For students to create effective research papers, they need to master all aspects of the production process. This can be terribly difficult, unless truly good teachers take the time to teach each step in a sequential manner and give students a significant amount of practice. Unfortunately, many teachers do not do this well, even if they have the time with all of the other curricular requirements of their courses. Even worse, teachers and professors assume students know how to effectively complete each step of the research paper process, spending no instructional time and providing no research paper guide to provide an explanation of the process and the necessary sections.
Every student must have a research paper guide if he/she expects to be successful in this important aspect of educational success. If a teacher or professor does not provide a research paper guide, then it is important to purchase one that will serve throughout high school and college. A number of academic writing services will offer a research paper guide as a part of its total service provision to clients, but it will be important to purchase one that is thorough, that provides sufficient examples, and that is detailed enough to cover the unique formats of specific content areas.
Get a Price Quote:
* Final order price might be slightly different depending on the current exchange rate of chosen payment system.
An effective research paper guide will include the following:
- The process for topic selection. If the topic has not been assigned, the student must select a topic that is appropriate for his/her level of study, as well as one that will fulfill the breadth and depth requirements. Topic selection and refinement can be perhaps the most important step in the entire process.
- The process of conducting appropriate research and documenting resource sources during this process. This will be critical once the writing and referencing process begins.
- Organizing the research from various sources into categories and synthesizing the information in order to determine the sections for the ultimate body of the paper are difficult and complex tasks, and it is important that the guide provide strategies for students to do this.
- Creating an outline: This is the map for the organizing and sequencing of information and data for written presentation
- Writing the rough draft, revising, and writing the final draft
- Citing all in-text references: the guide should provide examples of all citation formats
- Bibliography: Again, the guide should provide examples of all types of resources that might be used and the variety of formats that an instructor may require
A comprehensive research paper guide is a MUST for all secondary and university-level students, and no one should "scrimp" by purchasing cheap, inferior products.

Some citizens are not entitled to any form of health insurance from employers due to a number of reasons which can range from being a casual worker to job loss and even being self employed.
The people in this category are constantly in search of cheap health insurance plans that will cater for their health needs and that of their family members.
In this case, "cheap" is referred to in terms of cost and not necessarily to the quality of desired health care. Some people believe that there is nothing like cheap health insurance, but this article will show you options that can offer cheap health insurance plans with reasonable coverage benefits.
Cheap Health Management Organization Insurance Plans
Cheap Health Insurance Plans can be gotten from Health Management Organizations (HMO), which are companies that are linked to a number of top hospitals and health care centers by association. These HMO's charge you very cheap health insurance rates and allow you to access care from any of the hospitals under their group based on the coverage benefits of the particular plan.
Though, their basic plans covers the average health needs for a year and the premium can either be paid one off or in monthly installments. So, explore the HMO option for a really cheap health insurance plan. You will be surprised at the benefits they can offer, thus serving as a wonderful option to regular health insurance companies.
Research the Different Health Insurance Companies and their Plans
Cheap health insurance plans can still be gotten from the regular health insurance companies. All you have to do is to get the best information available and make your choice based on that.
An extensive online search and discussions with people whom have used different health insurance plans over the years will surely lead you to a cheap health insurance plan that can adequately cater for your needs. Remember that Information is power.
Search for Government Health Insurance plans or Waivers
Another great option for cheap health insurance plans is to opt for government grants or waivers for health insurance plans. This is available for people whom have lost their jobs or are unemployed. Information on these cheap health insurance plans can be gotten from state and regional insurance departments.
Look out for promotional deals from insurance companies, government grants for small business health insurance and introductory rates from new Health Management Organizations. The most important thing is to be aware of relevant information and cash into it as it comes by.
This is a guest post. Lisa is a Health Insurance Consultant who loves to blog in her part time. She recently had a chance to review and use Health Insurance Experts's Private Medical Insurance policies on their website.

Joyce Jenje-Makwenda Inside Out
The article on bad practices in the name of culture generated debate. Some readers could not believe some of the so-called cultural beliefs that I discussed. They asked whether some of these bad practices which are perpetrated in the name of culture were really happening here in Zimbabwe.
The culture, which allows a father-in-law to taste her daughter-in-law left many wondering whether this was really happening in our country.
They asked how this could be stopped, but like all bad practices in the name of culture, happen mostly at family level and can be difficult to detect.
One said the young men from that place should stop this by not allowing their fathers to sample their wives and make it a real issue.
A woman who hails from that area said she moved away from the family and went to live outside the country because she could not imagine her girls going through that.
This is also how some women who come from areas where genital mutilation is practised have decided to do; relocate to countries were they are safe and will protect their children from the practice.
I was shocked when a person I have known for a long time told me that although she was not physically given to a man (avenging spirit), a handover ceremony was done when she was very young.
She says that a deal was struck with the family of the avenging spirit.
They had to pay using cows and a woman but not giving the woman physically.
She has never been married, not that marriage is the ultimate goal for every woman, but those who want to be married should get the chance to do so.
"I have tried to get a husband all my life but it has been very difficult, it seems this man is my spiritual husband. It breaks my heart."
She is now in her mid 60's and she has given up. She is a very bitter woman.
The High Court ruling on child marriages is still a topical issue.
A woman who is not sure about the law said: "Will people really be arrested, our society being a patriarchal society?
"The day I see someone being arrested for marrying a person under the age of 18 is when I will celebrate the law.
"For now, I don't really know what is going on.
Sheilah Matindike, Social Worker and Human Rights Commissioner had this to say about the implementation of the law.
"The High Court ruling on child marriages is very progressive and shows that Zimbabweans are serious about protecting the rights of the children.
"What remains now is to implement the new law and make it work.
The first thing to do is create awareness of the law in communities through outreach.
Use of the media, especially the radio that reaches even the remotest of places in the country, holding workshops with community leaders and church leaders, targeting information to those areas that the practice is prevalent.
Working with some willing child mothers to share their stories in terms of how they have been affected emotionally, psychologically and physically and involve them in such campaigns. Produce pamphlets in local languages.
Also encourage young mothers to go back to school so they become empowered as education will enlighten them and equip them with skills to provide for themselves and their families.
Work with organisations that provide counselling for the children who have been forced into marriages," she advised.
A man in Mutare wrote to say he was afraid that some people might try to circumvent this law by doing all sorts of things to disadvantage girls.
They will do all they can so that they do not go to jail.
For instance when they impregnate a girl, they might try to conceal it by either intimidating her or by asking her to terminate the pregnancy.
The girls are likely to go for a street abortion.
"I feel it's a good judgment but feel abortion-related deaths are going to be on the increase.
"A 16-year-old gets pregnant and a 22-year-old male is responsible, do you think the male will marry her or run away, taking into account that if he marries an under 18 he faces prosecution?
"On the other hand the pregnant girl will be chased away from home and with nowhere to run, what's next? It will be abortion and death.
"Parents are also aiding their kids and that has nothing to do with culture but greed."
When I read this email, I thought of the stories that I have heard about backstreet abortions.
Girls should not go through that experience. I remember a story of how someone ended up vomiting blood after a crotchet had been inserted in her uterus to get rid of the pregnancy.
She died a painful death.
In some instances a stick is inserted. Some women have had their uterus damaged because of these street abortions.
If the girl dies while performing this abortion the 22-year-old will continue to live his life.
These two, the girl who has been unfortunate and has died and this 22-year-old young man who helped with the cover up so as not to go to jail are both coming from families which are part of communities.
Communities have failed our children. Maybe we need to go back to what our fore-parents did in pasichigare/endulo.
Initiation was very important at each and every phase of a person's journey in order to prepare them.
Our parenting skills need to be improved and assisted by structures that we put from the family, community and national level so that we do not react to crisis but make it easy for our children to understand the world.
While it might be difficult to bring back the space in which our fore parents operated, let's use the structures that we have to initiate our children at each and every stage of life.
While children are being initiated, parents are also initiated, it becomes a two way process and it gives both sides peace and confidence that you are safe and well informed.
This allows a parent to know and accept that their daughter or son will one day get to a point where their blood will boil and their bodies will be destabilised and need help to find a balance.
The adolescence period is the time when a child needs more help and if the family missed it somewhere along the line, then this period is where all hell breaks loose.
When their blood starts boiling, some people will take advantage of this situation.
Some will pretend that they are there for the teens, mislead and mess their life forever.
This is the bridge between being a child and going into adulthood and it has to be handled well.
I have always talked about synchronising the ancestor which defines us as man or woman with the whole body.
The adolescent time is the time to confirm whether the synchronisation is in order, this will avoid some calamities that we are now faced with.
Tariro Makanga Chikumbirike, head of media, marketing and PR for SafAids, advises on a holistic approach of raising a human being in order to come up with results that will create a grounded person.
This will help lessen or eradicate young adults getting into irresponsible sex, which has contributed to some extent to child marriages.
"Let's look at the whole issue comprehensively. What are the needs of a young child, what do they need? What are their needs — the Convention on the Right of the Child? How catered are they, are we respecting those issues?
"We need to mould children from the word go — their sexual reproductive health rights and when those changes start happening in their bodies. We look at this as communities, when they start having changes which occur in their bodies, so that they can understand that this is what is happening to their bodies."
Institutions like schools and churches play an important role in bringing up and initiating children.
Tariro explains how schools can contribute effectively in the raising of children.
"Right now we are talking about curriculum development in our country. What has been included in that? If we are talking about awareness, if we want to empower children let us start from ECD.
Let us not tire in finding ways to bring up and protect our children.
Let us always remember that when we are initiating our children, we also become part of the journey and we are also initiated.
Let us not tire to have a balanced society as this will give us peace.

Rotora Nissan GT-R
Here's a set that I shot earlier on this year and just never had the chance to post it up. This shoot was for Rotora Brakes who wanted some clean shots of their company Nissan R35 GT-R. No extraneous lighting was used for any of these shots. The contrast was pumped up a lot just to make the white car stand out more. I consider this one of my better shoots of 2012. Let me know if you agree in the comments.

The Floating Flamer combines two classic summer pastimes into one: swimming and barbecues. Although these activities seem as incompatible as fire and water (which happen to be the two elements involved), it provides a unique way to enjoy both.
Available in two sizes (Topless Model and Grand Flamer), the Floating Flamer serves up enough mouth-watering food to satisfy intimate gatherings and bigger beach parties. It will probably attract a hungry crowd as well, not because of the delicious smells it cooks up, but because of its singular design.
According to the website, the Floating Flamer was conceived "one glorious night sitting outside after a few drinks and some great ideas the charcoal smoke cleared and idea of the Floating Flamer was born."

This one got posted to the Air Force's Facebook page, which was pretty cool. Looking back, I'd do some things differently, but I'm still pretty proud of it.
This one got posted to the Air Force's Facebook page, which was pretty cool. Looking back, I'd do some things differently, but I'm still pretty proud of it.
Having to deal with budget issues and outdated equipment can be a major frustration for Airmen. This video covers how one shop deals with the struggle.
We had a three star general (Lieutenant General) visit Mountain Home AFB. I tried to connect the different scenes together via handshakes, think it worked out nicely.
This video took WAY longer than I wanted to complete, but I think it came together pretty well in the end.
It's tricky when a civilian company makes a trip to a base to make sure not to endorse that company.
Also, the guys at the metal shop were SUPER helpful about getting us good b-roll.
That does not imply I had enough b-roll. I got JUST enough, there may have been some head-banging on my desk.
If I was in security forces, I'd want to be a dog handler, but hanging out with an experienced handler made me very happy I do my job. There's a lot of heartbreak in being a dog handler.
One of the benefits of being in the Air Force is being exposed to different cultures. Getting to experience a proper Chinese (Lunar) New Year was definitely one of the highlights.
The story is boring, but I wanted to make the transitions between scenes interesting. It worked out easier than I thought.
The beginning and end of my rap career. I acted in this, did not produce it.
My first ride in a Blackhawk helicopter went pretty well. Very fast shoot.

More Great News for EDA…MUST HAVE Fundamentals To A Great Resume…Key Word Information Is Critical…
August 9th, 2013 by Mark Gilbert
The EDA Consortium released 1st quarter results for 2013 and the news continues to be not only encouraging but also significant. EDA revenues increased 8.1 percent from the first quarter of last year to $1.67 billion. The four-quarter moving average increased by 7 percent with total revenue for the last four quarters at $6.66 billion, not bad at all.
When you see strong growth in the Services sector, this suggests business is strong and companies need to look elsewhere because internal needs cannot meet the demand timely and hiring outside is the fastest, and in many cases, the most reasonable solution. This also suggests that hiring is still robust (as I can certainly attest to) and that the hiring pool continues to diminish, making it harder and harder for companies to find good people. Either way this is great for EDA as the more people working, the more tools needed to get the job done.
Now about your resume…Let us start with the simple premise that Every Word in Your Resume Matters…the right words can go a long way in ensuring your resume is interesting to the reviewer thereby getting further consideration, rather than being passed by. Here are the facts…when someone is looking at your resume whether it is me, another recruiter, HR or the hiring manager…either you have the information that grabs us or you lose us. Once we move on, the likelihood of considering you again for that position is marginal at best.
Get the odds on your side. I read so many resumes…some impress me and others make me wonder how the person ever got a degree. You spend so much effort getting an education and exceling at what you do, why not make sure your knowledge is communicated in the document that purports your knowledge base. In EDA (not unlike other industries) what you write about shows what you know and detailing what you know the right way is the difference between being considered or having your resume placed in the D pile (dare I say it is the Doo-Doo pile of resumes). Remember, that is after the A, B & C resumes, not a great pile to be in.
Today searches are done by keywords. My new software allows me to search using "with", "and", "or" conditions for specific words in a resume. Make sure you have the words that I might choose when searching for someone in your domain. Incorporate as many significant relevant key words as possible so when I pick relevant criteria for a domain search, those words will be extracted from your resume. Spend time to think about all the possible relevant words and incorporate them in your description of what you do or have done.
In some instances, English is not your first language but making sure your resume has the right information can over-ride a few grammatical errors. So here are some examples specific to EDA that I like to see in a resume. These are language or phrases that make me think this person is worthy of further consideration.
First, a clear objective or summary or both, always helps. Being ambiguous and using phrases that sound good but say nothing gets you no-where. Too often, I read fluff and say, "what does that even mean?"…stuff that sounds good but says nothing about you is a waste in a resume. Be clear, the first thing you need to say is something about your skill-set, i.e. Account Manager, Application Engineer, etc. If it is an Account Manager, say that and point to specific successes and highlights in as few words as possible. If it is an APPs engineer, talk about your precise experience…To utilize my x number of years of experience in the Physical domain supporting key accounts and implementing back end tools such as Physical layout, P&R and floor planning for a leading edge company. This tells them who you are and what you do specifically, short and sweet. Same holds true for R&D, Marketing, Design…clearly state your objective positively but make sure they understand who you are, what you do and what domain(s) you specialize in. To say, to bring my vast experience in EDA to a leading edge company, says nothing. If you're in management then say so, hands on, then say so, lead a team with hands-on leadership, then say so. A good objective should be 3-4 good sentences.
Here is an example of a phrase that says little, followed by the same phrase but with a few added words…
Original…Relishes facing fresh new challenges with a logical and creative approach in solving problems to provide value added solutions.
Modified… Relishes facing fresh new challenges as an Application Engineer with a logical and creative approach in solving customer problems by providing value added solutions to the process.
Clearly those few extra words told a more complete story.
All too often, a resume lists the companies where you worked, followed by the position held, only to go on and give little or no description of the domain or types of tools you have worked on. Leaving that information off is ridiculous. How is someone reading your resume suppose to understand your real and actual strengths if you do not take the time to list them? The opposite is true as well…sometimes some of you go into such unnecessary detail that unless you know what a Gizmo 4xw41gmz chip is, you have no clue what the heck the person does. Do not over detail…Use clear terms like Synopsys P&R tool Astro, or Formality formal verification tool from Synopsys, Circuit Spice simulation tools like Ultrasim or Fastspice for example. Use as many tools or tool types as possible and even the company as well…it tells a story of who you are and what you know. Use terms like Layout or Formal Verification, terms that are easily definable to anyone doing a fast review of your resume. Remember, not everyone looking at your resume knows the deeply technical jargon. The cleaner you make the terms, the more people will understand. It is not uncommon for even hiring managers that have been in the biz for years, to not know whose tool does what. They know their own tools, not all the others, so tell them clearly. Your resume is suppose to say, I am in your domain and here are the parallels, now call me!
Sometimes it takes me more time than it should trying to figure out what a particular candidate does because they are so ambiguous in describing their clear skill-set. Clear concise terms like SW Developer, or Application Support Engineer, or Technical Marketing Manager tells the story of who you are and what you do. Another important point; do not try to be someone you are not simply because you want a particular type of position. That might get you the call but the reality will come through in the interview. A good recruiter can convey what you would like to do or the types of positions that would interest you.
Below are some specific examples of what I like to see in a resume. It is what I think works well and interests the reader, which should ultimately help your resume further consideration. Another thing and this applies more to fresh grads. I kind of get why they do it as they have no real industry experience but still…being too broad is going to waste a lot of people's time. Just because you took a course in a domain does not make you an expert or worthy of being considered to support the domain. The biggest mistake is listing everything you ever touched as examples of your experience. Also (for example), if you supported analog 10 years ago but have been all-digital since, don't call yourself an Analog Expert. While you might get the call because you put it in your resume, you will most certainly not pass the technical muster that today's engineers are put through to qualify…contrary to public delusional belief, it is not like riding a bicycle, you will not pick it up in no time.
If your resume has frequency, meaning a job change every year or so and it can be easily explained, then explain. The best example of easily explained is acquisition…so when listing the new company use parenthesis and say "Acquired by" so they know it is not a new job. If you're showing a contract position, say so; this way the reader understands the shortness of the tenure. One more, if your grade level is truly impressive then brag about it, if not, then don't mention it.
Below are a few examples of layouts that I think work well. These simple suggestions are what will make your resume great and easily discernable to almost anyone and after all, isn't that what you want?
