I have
a little Tenure story. It doesn't involve me directly
because I wouldn't have even made it out of college
with my Bachelor's degree were I not able to use my
mystical powers of mind seduction on my college
professor's, but instead concerns my beloved late
mother. There is great intelligence in my family.
Tragically it skips a generation. I have warned my own
son that his children will be idiots so adjust
accordingly. Anyway my mother was a tenure track
professor at three colleges, at each college she got
this tenure and at two of these colleges she walked
away from it, mainly because mom had a real low
tolerance for assholery – which apparently goes hand
in hand with 'tenure track'. I don't know if Writer /
Director Mike Million has a PhD or is real close to
somebody who was tenure track, but the stories I was
told and the stories that are in his movie are eerily
similar, with the key exception being that this movie
is way funnier than the stories my mom used to tell
me, and my mom's stories were pretty funny.
Wilson is professor Charlie Thurber, a hard working
English professor at this mythical university
desperately trying to do what needs to be done to get
this tenure he thinks he wants. His best friend at The
U, anthropology professor and Sasquatch obsessive Dr.
Jay Hadley (David Koechner), has already had his
tenure review board meeting and was roundly rejected,
despite all of the solid work he's put in tracking
down Sasquatch. The good thing for Charlie and his
chances to get this spot is that he's largely running
unopposed… at least until The U hires the very pretty,
very intelligent, frequently published and from Yale
University no less, Professor Elaine Grasso (Gretchen
Mol). Now things aren't looking so good for Charlie no
A further complication in Charlie's life is that his father William (Bob Gunton), a retired Ivy league professor of literature has much greater expectations of Charlie than Charlie has of himself, though William is struggling somewhat at his care facility and
with his arguably deteriorating mental faculties. I
would be remiss if I didn't warn the public that Bob
Gunton shows his ass this movie. Had some ninety year
old woman bent over and was going to town. Disturbing
beyond belief.
more to the story in this movie but you know, it
really doesn't matter all that much. Trying to
describe 'Tenure' is actually doing 'Tenure' a
disservice because Charlie's pursuit of tenure is
almost a McGuffin in this movie. Not quite because it
is relevant and it is the lynchpin of most everything
driving the movie but his pursuit of tenure is merely
a conduit to all of the other wonderful and funny
things that are going on in this movie. Charlie at a
dinner, somebody stealing a coke, a poetry club
meeting, a cheap bottle of wine… none of these things
by me mentioning them are even remotely funny, but in
the context of this movie… And it is these funny
things, some broad, some subtle with almost all of it
with a tinge of real life truth that make 'Tenure'
works so well as a comedy, at least for me.
example, when Charlie's buddy drags him to one of
those network marketing schemes, this one featuring a
Herbal Erection product, I've been dragged by friends
of mine to events such as these and it went almost
exactly as it was presented in this movie. It wasn't
an erection product thank goodness, I think it was
more along the lines of cheap long distance service,
but the clown ran out in assembly room like he was Jay
Leno or somebody and proceeded to put together poorly
prepared sentences to sell this worthless product, but
Mike Million was on point.
thing that works very well in this movie is Luke
Wilson. I don't know if Luke Wilson is a good actor or
not, but I do know that when he does he does that Luke
Wilson thing he does, he does it very, very well. I've
seen a couple of movies where Mr. Wilson stepped out
of that everyman, sad sack, simple guy in a bad
situation thing he does, those movies that come to
mind being 'Henry Poole was Here' and 'The Wendell
Baker Story' and I didn't like those movies all that
much. Of course Luke Wilson can do with his career
whatever the hell he wants with no input from me, but
I'm just saying that Luke Wilson in 'Old School' or
'Idiocracy' or 'My Super-Ex Girlfriend' is a Luke
Wilson I'm personally comfortable with. When the
character of Charlie was being an asshole towards the
character of Elaine, that was kind of uncomfortable
for me, but when he turned back into the pleasant nice
everyman that I'm comfortable with, all was right in
the world. Now David Keochner was steadily trying to
steal this movie from Luke Wilson, but he stepped off
the gas a little bit and let Luke enjoy his moment.
The cast all around was very good including Gunton and
Mol, and a myriad of unsung funny people, who
admittedly probably don't exist in real life but sure
were amusing to watch in this movie.
I enjoyed this movie an awful lot as 'Tenure' had some really big laughs and a lot more little ones cleverly strewn throughout its all too short running time. A very, very enjoyable movie.

Canada at Glance
Canada's capital is Ottawa, situated in the province of Ontario, and its major urban centers are: Toronto – Montréal – Calgary & Vancouver. Canada is an industrialized country with advanced technology, and its economy is primarily founded on its rich supply of raw materials and resources. The United States is its principal trading partner. One of Canada's most recognizable symbols is the maple leaf. Officially adopted in 1965, the Canadian flag features a red maple leaf at its centre. Another endearing and enduring symbol is most certainly the beaver, the largest of rodent species, integral in trade and exploration throughout the early history of Canada. The beaver was declared Canada's official emblem in 1975.
Canada is a democratic constitutional monarchy, so the head of state is the British monarch, and the government is led by a Canadian Prime Minister. Canada is governed at the federal level by an elected parliament, based on the British model, and federal, provincial and territorial governments share the responsibilities of administering different state mandates. Canada is a developed country and one of the wealthiest in the world, with the tenth highest nominal per capita income globally, and the eighth highest ranking in the Human Development Index. It ranks among the highest in international measurements of government transparency, civil liberties, quality of life, economic freedom, and education.
For more details please visit: Canada
Much of Canada's topography consists of gently rolling hills with rock outcrops because the Canadian Shield, an ancient region with some of the world's oldest known rocks, covers almost half of the country. The southern portions of the Shield are covered with boreal forests while the northern parts are tundra because it is too far north for trees. In almost every part of Canada there are lakes and rivers. Canada has over 2 million lakes covering 7% of the land mass. The largest lake is the Northwest Territories' Great Bear Lake. It is estimated that Canada is home to one-seventh of the world's fresh water.
Canada has a land mass of 9,970,610 square kilometers and occupies the northern half of North America. From east to west, Canada encompasses six time zones. Canada has coastlines on the Atlantic and Pacific and the Arctic Ocean, giving it the longest coastline of any country. Canada's southern boundary is an 8,892 kilometer border with the United States. Northern Canada's Arctic islands come within 800 kilometers of the North Pole. Westward toward the Pacific, most of British Columbia, the Yukon, and part of western Alberta are covered by parallel mountain ranges, including the Rockies. The Pacific border of the coast range is ragged with fjords and channels. The highest point in Canada is Mount Logan (19,850 ft; 6,050 m), which is in the Yukon. The two principal river systems are the Mackenzie and the St. Lawrence. The St. Lawrence, with its tributaries, is navigable for over 1,900 mi (3,058 km).

Canada's climate varies with location but the country is classified as being temperate in the south to arctic in the north, winters however, are normally long and harsh in most of the country. Average winter and summer high temperatures across Canada vary according to the location. Winters can be harsh in many regions of the country, particularly in the interior and Prairie provinces, which experience a continental climate, where daily average temperatures are near -15 degrees Celsius (5 degrees Fahrenheit) but can drop below -40 degrees Celsius (-40 degrees Fahrenheit) with severe wind chills. In non coastal regions, snow can cover the ground almost six months of the year. Coastal British Columbia enjoys a temperate climate, with a mild and rainy winter.
When the temperature does drop, Canadians stay warm thanks to an infrastructure of heated houses, cars and public transportation systems. Some cities have also installed walkways to and from buildings in schools. Canada's climate is not as cold all year round as you might think. Winter temperatures fall below freezing in most of Canada but the South Western coast is relatively mild. Along the Arctic Circle is where it is coldest, the temperatures fall below freezing for around seven months of the year. During the summer the Southern provinces often have temperatures of over 86oF and high levels of humidity. In terms of rainfall, Western and South-Eastern Canada has the most, while the Prairies are dry and only get 250 – 500 mm per year.

Canada is culturally diverse. This goes back to the 1890s when it began inviting people from all over the world to settle in the country to help it develop and grow. Canadian immigration policy was historically open, welcoming and egalitarian in its philosophy. This has also manifest into the psyche of the nation where people are encouraged and to retain their cultural identities, traditions, languages and customs. Canadians come from many different racial and religious backgrounds. Consequently, it is not easy to define a typical Canadian family. Although the majority of Canadians are Catholic or Protestant, many belong to other religions. Some cultural characteristics, however, are shared by most Canadians.
It is customary to shake hands when being introduced. It is not usually considered objectionable to lightly touch someone on the shoulder or elbow during a discussion. Most Canadians do not often kiss or hug when greeting friends. Canada enjoys a society that is open and relatively free of class distinctions. Most Canadians take pride in the fact that all people deserve the same rights and respect, regardless of their gender, race, religion, or cultural background. People in Canada usually resent comments that seem disrespectful to anyone from a particular background.

The favorite foods of Canadians vary slightly from region to region, and are strongly influenced by their family heritage, especially in relation to holiday celebrations. Along the Atlantic coast, seafood and dishes derived from English traditions (except in Quebec) are common. In Quebec, favorite foods come from the area's French heritage. Throughout Canada, maple syrup and maple products are popular, reflecting the significance of the maple tree, whose leaf adorns the flag of Canada. Many families enjoy a visit in early spring to a maple sugar "shack," the special rustic building where sap from maple trees is boiled in a large open pan to make maple syrup.
Later in the spring, many people in Eastern Canada visit a wooded area to harvest fiddleheads. Fiddleheads, named because they look like the coiled end of a violin ("fiddle"), are the tasty new sprouts of woodland ferns, picked before they develop into large lacy fronds. They are a fragile spring specialty, usually available for just a few weeks in the spring. Grocery stores in Canada may stock frozen fiddleheads alongside other frozen vegetables.

This entry will be about my experience at Kansai International Airport from arrival to departure. As for flight experience you might wanna check out Japan: Fly with Cathay Pacific or simply click on the Japan label on the right side.
After about 10 hours of traveling including transit hours we finally arrived.
We rode a mini train for a few seconds to arrival terminal.
This was outside of Terminal 1. If you are staying outside of Osaka you might opt for limousine bus or Nankai Express at the station opposite here. If you are staying at Osaka you can just ride the Japan Rail (JR). You can also buy Kansai thru pass if you are traveling around the region; Kobe, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara etc.
Here's the limousine bus ticket counter. Since we will be staying at Itami, we could opt for Osaka Airport or Amagasaki. All ticket systems including trains go by price not destination so be sure to look how much your destination costs before purchasing.
This is the bus schedule. We bought the 9pm ticket. Let me emphasize that they are very very punctual so do not wander around after you purchased your ticket unless you have to wait like an hour but it is impossible coz the waiting time at most is half an hour.
Wait at bus stop #8 if you are heading to these destinations. In our case, our destination was Osaka airport. This should take 1 hour. Then the story continues to Japan: My life in Itami.
Time to go backWhen we finally had to leave Japan, we had a terrible journey to the airport. It was mid of September and there was a bad typhoon in the morning. We have to run out of the hotel with 3 other friends to catch our train to Kansai Airport. The station in the picture was after we interchanged 2 trains.
I have forgotten the name of this station. You can refer to How to ride a train in Japan.
The cost from Osaka to Kansai Airport.
After all we went through, thank God we reached the airport on time safely.
Check in business class coz we were on business trip...jk! The lady simply called us to her counter coz it was empty. Why la she didn't upgrade us.
The colour palette looks so fun and sweet and the escalator is super duper long.
At the top floor.
Remember to buy some of the Japan unique Kit Kat before you leave.
Don't know what's on the display but it looks like our flight number is inside.
Took a mini train to departure terminal.
This was our waiting hall.
Had dorayaki for breakfast.
Our plane to Hong Kong. The journey will continue in the following post.

There's nothing better than a sipping a cool delicious tropical drink with good company and a gorgeous view…
(Be sure to check out my round up of all the Best Tropical Drinks we made while on vacation.)
We had a busy day today and came back late from the pool, so we decided to do another easy drink. (I think we will be breaking the blender out tomorrow.) This Painkiller recipe has been around for a while, though I modified it a bit based on what we had on hand. I'll give you the original recipe along with my changes.
If you ever have a luau themed party, this would be a fabulous drink to serve. The coconut crème makes it absolutely divine.
2 oz rum (I only used 1 oz rum)
1 oz Coconut Crème (not coconut milk)
4 oz Pineapple Juice
1 oz Orange juice (we used mango juice)
Combine all ingredients and shake/stir until combined. Pour over ice in a tall glass, serve.

Pictures of Sofia Vergara on Set of New Year's Eve
Sofia Vergara Bangs Out Her First Day on the New Year's Eve Set
Sofia Vergara sported a different look on the NYC set of New Year's Eve yesterday. She covered up her famous curves and rocked a set of bangs to get into character as Ava, which she'll play alongside Halle Berry's replacement, Katherine Heigl, and rocker Jon Bon Jovi. Sofia reported for filming after a whirlwind weekend at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in LA where she and the Modern Family cast took home a win for best ensemble comedy. Sofia received another flattering honor recently when she was named one of AskMen.com's five hottest women of 2010. TrèsSugar is doing a survey about Valentine's Day with the men's website so be sure to participate and tell them how you really feel about the holiday.

The Home Mortgage Refinance Process
Does refinancing a loan have to be difficult? The answer to that is a resounding no. Yet, the process does become very difficult for many homeowners because they are not aware of what is required to actually refinance their existing loan.
A Deliberate Process
Refinancing a mortgage is deliberate process that requires a few established steps. None of these steps are complicated and the main problem many consumers have is one of omission. That is to say they are not aware of a particular step so they do not follow it, which can lead to delays. Here is a brief look at the main steps:
- Determine why you wish to refinance. You do not want to refinance your loan for the wrong reasons since this could lead to a host of problems in the future.
- Have an idea of what you wish to get out of the refinancing. Are you going from 30 years to 15 years? Do you want a lower APR or an adjustable rate mortgage? Define what you wish to refinance to before moving on to the next step.
- Clearly determine exactly what the cost/benefit ratio is. Will your new monthly payments and interest rates actually deliver a better savings than what you are currently paying? If so then you may be making a step in the right direction.
- Procure quotes from various different lending institutions. You do not want to only get a quote from one lender, or the financial institution that happens to be the closest to you. You want to select from the best mortgage service that will meet your own individual requirements and also offer you rates that are agreeable.
- Review the quotes as deliberately as possible. You definitely do not want to skim the quotes because it is crucial to understand the refinance terms you will be agreeing to. You have to make the best possible decision and that is only possible when the quotes you receive are reviewed in their entirety.
- Make a final decision whether or not to refinance your mortgage. In other words, you have to actually decide whether or not to agree to new loan terms, or walk away and stick with your old one.
- Once you have refinanced your home, do your absolute best to make timely payments each and every month. You do not want to go through the motions only to go into default.
Bad Credit Issues
On a side note, one common problem many people may encounter is a poor credit history leading to problems refinancing. While this may create some hurdles to overcome in terms of finding good terms, it really should not be a total impediment to finding a new deal. You will, however, have to seek quotes from lenders willing to work with you if you have less than stellar credit.
Follow the Terms to the Letter
Once you have refinanced your mortgage, you are now obligated to hold up to your end of the agreement. In other words, make all your monthly payments in a timely manner. As long as repayment is timely, you will find you get the most benefit out of the new mortgage.
Our helpful guide to understanding the home mortgage refinance process will help answer your questions, and ensure you don't leave any stones unturned.
To learn more about the important questions you need to ask in the refinance home mortgage process, start by finding out what options are available to you, and compare them to see which one is the best fit for your particular needs.

The Tonx coffee Company is a coffee roaster in Los Angeles, California that prides themselves on freshness. Their motto is Freshly Roasted Coffee, Direct to Your Doorstep. Tonx sells coffee based on a subscription plan. They have several levels and they ship every other week. Tonx says their coffee arrives at your doorstep within 72 hours of roasting. This morning I brewed up one of their sample bags and thoroughly enjoyed it. Tonx coffee is a light, smooth roasted coffee that you can enjoy pretty much anytime of day. They only have one type of roast coffee as for now. I enjoyed their roast both black and with my normal cream and sugar. If you go to the link at the bottom of this blog you can sign up for a free sample bag of the roasted coffee. Then if you enjoy it you can continue receiving a six or 12 ounce bag of coffee every other week from them. A 6 ounce bag of coffee should give you about three pots. They have higher subscription plans if you drink more coffee. This is the coffee I highly recommend it's a very good morning roast. I embeded the video author website. enjoy!

How To Keep Your Body Healthy: Everything You Need To Know
Happiness is a State of mind.
Happy mind = Healthy Body.
We often come across these quotes and wonder what really is the code to crack happy mind and healthy body – that's exactly where we make the mistake. We all consider this question " how to keep your body healthy ?" so complicated that we look for codes or hacks. A happy mind and healthy body are not a big deal if you decide on achieving one. It takes practice, routine dedication and no it is not rocket science. Let us begin with baby steps to know all about How To Keep Your Body Healthy.
Also read: How To Reduce Belly Fat In A Week At Home: The Complete Guide
How To Keep Your Body Healthy:
A. Food :
Nothing like food when it comes to listing best ways to stay healthy.
A small look at what works best when included in your regular diet will help you understand how to stay healthy and happy.
1.Nuts and Seeds:
Nothing like it, walnuts almonds, Flax seeds – stay away from lifestyle diseases by improving your lifestyle one step at a time. Include healthy nuts and Seeds in your diet – a handful of walnuts a spoon of flax seeds is all your body needs to feel strong inside.
2.Quinoa :
I love them for the nutty flavor, apart from that this grain can be cooked in many varieties with Indian spices – Quinoa upma, Quinoa in curd rice recipe, Quinoa salad. This grain is rich in protein, iron thereby assisting in weight control and diabetes prevention.
3.Yogurt :
A must: Healthy gut = Healthy Body. Always touted as a superfood when it comes to health and fitness crediting the good bacteria in yogurt.
4.Oats :
This has been doing rounds for a while now, Keeps you feeling full and contains a good amount of fiber that helps your body get rid of all the toxins. This too can be cooked in multiple ways or have it with milk as a quick breakfast option. Avoid flavored oats – Nothing flavored is natural.
5.Soups :
Go for vegetable-based non-creamy soups before any meal, this way you fill your body with right nutrients and don't overeat.
6.Breakfast :
If someone asks you how to keep your body healthy, please tell them never to skip breakfast. Many people tend to skip breakfast: the fast-paced life and also our body clock. Many of us are not morning people and hence tend to avoid breakfast altogether. You are doing worse if you skip breakfast. Your breakfast should, in fact, be the heaviest meal from all other meals you have during the day and the dinner being the lightest meal.
B. Fitness :
Food alone does not help you to stay healthy and happy. Fitness routine does play an important role. Agreed Gym might not be the first choice for many but like we said – baby steps to achieving healthy body and mind is not that difficult.
Start with walking, post-dinner before bed or early morning whenever you find it comfortable. Push your self to 10000 steps walk a day. It isn't really that big of a number don't let the 4 zeros scare you.
Use stairs whenever possible. Download fitness apps in your cellphone that can count your steps. These things only keep you motivated to continue with your fitness goal making it achievable in some time.
2.Yoga :
If you are wondering how to keep your body healthy, this is the best possible way out there. It works on mind and body and that is what we are trying to achieve. Nothing like Yoga when it comes to having a balanced fitness program. Start with simple breathing and meditation techniques, even if you miss the Gym or other workout routines of yours, don't skip a good 20 minute Yoga before starting with your day. It helps you regulate your emotions and aids in depression or anxiety related issues. Health takes a lifestyle to achieve and Yoga helps to begin with that.
3.Zumba :
I must confess that I am lazy. I cannot push myself for walks and Gym sessions but that did change with Zumba, This tempo based dance cum workout really is a good way to kickstart the day. Try it and you will thank us for this. The workout is just so inviting and is known to burn calories like crazy!
4.Body Clock:
I read an interview of Dalai Lama and loved the routine they follow at Dharamshala.
Sleep by 7 pm and wake up at 3 am. I did try this for a week or so and it indeed works well for the body. But with the lifestyle people are living today – if your work hours don't give you the luxury to adapt to this lifestyle then at least keep a simple mantra: early to bed. 11.30 or before you should retire to your bed and begin the day early morning with some time for self and fitness. Do not push your body to extremes.
Also, check out the interview of this brilliant fitness blogger and see what she has to say to you!
C. Self-love:
With diet and Workout you have done the majority of the stuff for your body and soul but to engage your mind you should practice more self-love, positive thinking and channeling the brain to push you only in the Good vibe zone to stay healthy and happy.
Also read: How To Pull Yourself Out Of Depression: Stop The Slow Poison
1.Hobby :
Do engage in a hobby. It can be anything from knitting, cooking, painting to dance or singing. It gives the right exercise to your brain and much-needed meditation. I love to paint and I keep following different tutorials online, no matter what I ensure to at least doodle a day if not paint. It has become a routine now and does no harm.
We really tend to overlook what we have and crib most of the time. With all the peer pressure and rat race around it is bound to happen. Practice more self-love, don't criticize yourself always. Focus on your achievements when feeling hopeless. Life isn't as complicated as we make it by overthinking.
Have a social circle- big or small doesn't matter. Engaging with people does help you in achieving a different outlook at the same single problem. No matter how self-sufficient you are or you try to be, social engagement helps in many ways. You can opt for dance classes or painting classes join readers club and keep networking. Socialising is not a big task.
Solve riddles, puzzles, Sudoku, Mathematics.
Anything that makes your brain think and not overthink or worry. Putting your brain to exercise is equally important as it is for the body. If puzzles are not your thing or join abacus or Vedic maths class, learn a new skill or a language.
5.Help Someone:
You are not the focus always. Feed a poor or a stray and notice the good vibes you get.
How to keep your body healthy and strong should not be a tough nut to crack now – Work on yourself and not just at the Desk, find self in more peace, happy and healthy.

Purple ribbons, quilts all adds up to a special Lyon County Relay for Life
The first time I stepped outside the Minneota Mascot on Monday was to catch a breath of fresh air. Then I saw this purple ribbon attached to the light pole and began to wonder — "I wonder what that's for?"
It didn't take long to find out because I began searching the Lyon County Relay for Life Website to find out more about Friday, June 15th's annual event at the Red Baron Arena in Marshall.
"We are painting Lyon County Purple this year," said the website, adding, "Watch for purple ribbons in Minneota, Marshall and Tracy. We are asking all businesses to put purple in their windows in honor of all cancer survivors and those that have fought."
Immediately Mascot office secretary Cherri Schmig began searching for purple to adorn the Mascot window for this special event.
Relay is a team fundraising event where team members take turns walking around a track or designated path.
Each event is six-24 hours in length and each team is asked to have a member on the track at all times to signify that cancer never sleeps.
Cancer patients don't stop because they're tired, and for one night, neither do we.
Each team sets up a themed campsite at the event and continues their fundraising efforts by collecting donations for food, goods, games, and activities. This money will count towards their overall team fundraising goal.
Event Schedule Opening Ceremony
"We kick off the event by honoring everyone who's been affected by cancer and everyone who has contributed to the success of this year's Relay season," says the Relay for Life committee.
Survivor/Caregiver Walk Survivors and Caregivers are the heart and soul of Relay For Life events.
"We honor their strength and courage with every step they take. It doesn't matter if you were diagnosed 10 days ago or 10 years ago, you can walk while everyone gathers together to cheer you on."
Luminaria Ceremony
During this ceremony we represent everyone touched by cancer with a Luminaria. Each light represents a life — a life taken by cancer, a survivor of cancer, or a support for a person still fighting the disease. It's a powerful demonstration that gives people the opportunity to grieve but also offers comfort and hope.
Closing Ceremony
Our closing ceremony is the time to commit to take action and help lead the fight for a world free from cancer. It's a time to celebrate what we've accomplished together and a time to unify for the work that needs to be done moving forward.
Special quilt
Conni Stensrud spearheaded a group effort, gathering t-shirts from each year of the Relay teams.
"Thanks to everyone that helped me accomplish this. This quilt is approximately queen size and has a T-shirt from each year of the Relays ... 25 years worth!"
"Come on out to the Red Baron Arena on Friday, June 15. You can bid on this and be the one to take it home."

Supplier Outreach

The Procurement Division is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., except city holidays PDF. Visits to the Procurement Division by sales representatives are welcomed and encouraged.
Marketing to Tempe
The City has developed a Marketing Guide for Suppliers & Service Providers PDF to acquaint suppliers with Procurement management policies and procedures.
Business Outreach Program
The City of Tempe has made it a key business goal to ensure that historically underutilized businesses are given every opportunity to participate in and benefit from the City's procurement program. Although a goal-based small/minority business program does not currently exist, the City does want to make every effort to involve this specific business group into the day to day procurement opportunities that become available.
The City has elected to define this business group as "historically underutilized businesses" or HUB suppliers. This group is made up of small business, woman-owned and minority-owned companies, partnerships and sole proprietorships.
One way to seek out this valued group of suppliers is to ensure that our Contract Officers and end-users throughout the City have access to a verifiable database from which these firms can be solicited for business opportunities. To that end, two websites have been linked to this page that can be used by City personnel to establish bid lists for the requirement needed. These lists are maintained by third party agencies who certify the firms that are listed. Either of the links will allow an end-user to enter a general description such as "painting, custodial, landscaping, legal services, etc." and quickly receive a sorted list of representative firms who may be contacted for price quotes.
The Procurement Division actively supports and participates in supplier trade shows conducted across the Valley to further expand opportunities to this supplier group.
Please feel free to contact Michael Greene, Procurement Administrator, (480-350-8516) if you would like to discuss this program in more detail.
The following link provides an excellent source for recruiting HUB suppliers:
Bidder Registration
Interested firms can self register for upcoming solicitation opportunities. Should you require any assistance with the process, or have any questions, please feel free to contact one of the City's Procurement Officers or Associates for assistance.
Vendor must agree that they will comply with City Ordinance No. 02016.25 which requires vendors who are being recommended for award to provide evidence of their compliance with the City's anti discrimination policy - 'Vendors will not refuse to hire or employ or bar or discharge from employment any person, or to discriminate against such person in compensation, conditions, or privileges of employment because of race, color, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, familial status, age, disability, or United States military veteran status'. Vendor further agrees to provide documents in support of their compliance with the Tempe's Anti Discrimination Ordinance No. 02016.25 PDF.
Respected Procurement Professionals
The City Procurement Division at Tempe is a frequent recipient of the National Purchasing Institute's "Achievement of Excellence in Procurement Award" and is commonly cited in professional publications for its "best practices" in public procurement. The Tempe Procurement Division maintains membership with the following trade groups:
- Associated Minority Contractors of Arizona
- Black Chambers of Arizona
- East Valley Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
- One Community
- Pacific Southwest minority Supplier Development Council
- Tempe Chamber of Commerce
All City of Tempe Procurement Officers hold professional certification credentials insuring Tempe residents that they have the necessary competence and professionalism to perform their job duties while adhering to a Code of Ethics insuring ethical principals are followed throughout the procurement process.

New to Walther's single stack, compact series, the Walter PPS M2 offers the signature ergonomics, a slim profile, smooth trigger, and a versatile frame. The PPS M2 is designed with nothing but concealed carry in mind. It's small, but comes with the same stopping power of a full cartridge.
Think Small but Great
The PPS M2 has a flat and slim grip for better concealment. But, Walther hasn't skimped on the controllability. Their non-slip, cross-directional texture allows for great control and a comfortable grip. This 9mm has a 6.1lbs trigger pull but a short 0.2 inch travel for quick, accurate follow up shots. The smoothness of the trigger, however, aids in accuracy; working in tandem with the ergonomic grip.
Features with Accuracy and Concealment in Mind
The three-dot metal sights on the PPS M2 provides rapid aiming and target acquisition, but has a low profile that one snag on clothing or grab (too much) in that soft IWB holster. The rear sight also includes an adjustable screw to adjust for windage. There are also slide serrations that provide a great non-slip surface for the chamber-checkers among shooters.
For quick visual inspection, Walther has designed the PPS M2 with a loaded chamber viewport and a red cocking indicator. This indicator, itself, is designed to be both tactile and visible for low light conditions.
Like most pistols, the PPS M2 locks back on empty, but the slide stop itself is extended for easy access by a glove clad thumb. The magazine release, too, is conveniently positioned for thumb operation whether gloved or not.
Final Goods
The PPS M2 is coated in Walther's patented Tenifer, matte, corrosion resistant finish. Walther has also provided three, single stack magazines: one flat six-round capacity for concealment, one mid seven-round capacity for comfort, and one large eight-round capacity for that extra cartridge.
Caliber: 9mm
Barrel: 3.18"
Overall: 6.3"
Weight: 21.1 oz. empty
Capacity: 6/7/8
Cost: $469 MSRP

Wemyss Clan
Wemyss Clan Crest: A swan.
Wemyss Clan Motto: Je Pense (I think).
History of Clan Wemyss:
The first of the surname on record is Michael de Wemys, who was also called Michael de Methkil, both territorial in association. In 1291, a Charter was confirmed on Sir John, son of Michael de Wemys, by Gamel, Bishop of St Andrews.
In 1290, Sir Michael and Sir David Wemyss were despatched to Norway to
bring back the infant Queen Margaret, the 'Maid of Norway.' Six years
later, Sir Michael rendered homage to Edward I of England, but that
did not prevent him from supporting Robert the Bruce and, as a consequence,
Wemyss Castle was attacked by the English. Sir Michael's son, Sir David,
was among the signatories of the Declaration of Arbroath sent to the Pope
in support of Robert I.
In succeeding generations, members of the Wemyss family were hostages for the release of David II and James I from English captivity.
Sir David de Wemyss was killed at the Battle of Flodden in 1513, and Sir John Wemyss fought at the Battle of Pinkie in 1547. Sir John was a staunch supporter of Mary, Queen of Scots and fought on her behalf at the Battle of Langside in 1568. His great-grandson, John Wemyss of that Ilk, became a Nova Scotia Baronet in 1625 and given a Charter for the Province of New Wemyss in Canada. Raised to the Peerage as Lord Wemyss of Elcho in 1628, he became High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland and was created Earl of Wemyss by Charles I.
With the wealth accrued from the family's salt and coal mines, the 2nd Earl constructed at his own cost the harbour of Methil in 1649. The 3rd Earl was a Commissioner of the Treaty of Union between Scotland and England in 1707.
The 5th Earl married the daughter of Colonel Francis Charteris of Amisfield, and their eldest son, David, Lord Elcho, accompanied Prince Charles Edward Stuart until his final defeat at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, thereafter escaping to France. As a result, he was attainted, but the situation was retrieved by his younger brother Francis who changed his name to Charteris on inheriting his maternal grandmother's estates. The Wemyss Estates in Fife and the Arms of Wemyss, however, devolved to a third brother James, who became Wemyss of Wemyss.
The great-great grandson of James married the granddaughter of William IV, and their son Michael married Lady Victoria Cavendish-Bentinck, god-daughter to Queen Victoria who founded the Wemyss School of Needlework and lived to be 104.
Surname distribution in Scotland: The highest concentrations of the Wemyss name occur in Highland (includes the historic counties of Caithness, Inverness-shire, Nairnshire, Ross and Cromarty and Sutherland), Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire (includes all of the historic counties of Aberdeenshire, Kincardineshire and part of Banffshire) and Fife.
Places of Interest:
Wemyss Castle, Fife. Seat of the Wemyss Family since the 12th century. It was here that Mary, Queen of Scots first met her future husband, Lord Darnley.
Wemyss School of Needlework, Coaltown of Wemyss, Fife. Tapestry School created by Lady Victoria Wemyss.
The Wemyss Ware Pottery Studio, Ceres, Fife. The world renowned Wemyss Ware was named in honour of the Wemyss family of the nearby Wemyss castle.

Before I start, I would like to share a beautiful quote with you:
Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.
- Henry Ward Beecher
Well, I have to say a lot of things, but I couldn't find something to bind it.
We all know something or the other about the history, civics, geography about V-day, but not everything! So I thought maybe I should take the initiative and make the picture more clear!
History Aspect:
Valentine's Day or Saint Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14 by many people throughout the world. In the West, it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery. The day was originally a pagan festival that was renamed after two Early Christian martyrsnamed Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.
For more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentines
Political Aspect (In
I am not going to give facts or statistical information which can be quoted. I am just going to give an overview and of course MY view of what's the meaning of Valentine's day to some of our political "leaders". (YES! It' is time to bash Sri Ram Sene!) :P
There has never been a positive response from our loooooser leaders about this day. Since the time I have started reading newspapers, watching news channels, there has always been some problem or the other with the "loser leaders". From clicking pictures of couples in parks and sending them to their parents , to beating the guy, to now, stripping girls, in the name of our "CULTURE". I am a kannadiga and I cannot tell you how ashamed I am of this Pramod Muthalik! I am all for preserving our country's culture and heritage, but I do not understand, what's the harm in embracing western culture? Don't they celebrate Diwali and Holi? Should we go and bash them also? For embracing our rituals and traditions?
There is something burning inside me , which I so badly want to ask these people, who are the nation's leaders, everytime something like this happens.
Do you know why our nation is still termed "developing" inspite of the overflowing intelligence, minerals, resources, talent, land mass, population? And why small countries like
I know! Because all of this is wasted in moral policing and after that stopping those self appointed moral policemen! If only Mr. Pramod Muthalik had thought of NOT tolerating the terrorism and going and beating them up, the country will be a better place to live in. Oops! I forgot what a coward he is! He would pee in his pants than go and fight for a GOOD cause. I cannot believe what a bully, coward, shit faced he is! Stripping woman is a part of his culture! If only he used his pea-sized brains for something constructive! If you don't give women their due status and respect in the society, how will the nation develop? How will we be EVER able to rub shoulders with US of A? Even in the times of recession, the country has not lost it's foothold and dignity! How will we ever stop brain drain, if the national issue is limited to why some poor girls go pubbing?
"We are going to protest against Valentine's Day. We have been opposing it not just this time but have been opposing it for the last 10 years. Let them celebrate it in the church -- not outside in society. They can do this in their church or in their homes. We are also requesting those printing Valentine's Day cards not to do so this time"
That's the limit of his brains! IS THIS A NATIONAL ISSUE? I don't understand one thing, where do these people get these ideas from? Is there a secret United Nations conference for dumb-asses like him and Raj Thackerey? Where do they get money to execute all this? As if Mr. Muthalik was not enough, Baba Ramdev also started attending the secret UN conference for dumb-asses. Just now, I saw his "press conference" for Valentine 's Day! He has problems with Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, AND BIRTHDAY celebrations at 12 in the night! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? No one celebrates your birthday, huh? My god! Only if all this was done for the terrorists, who REALLY pose a threat to our country and not a bunch of harmless girls pubbing! Only if all this was done to stop hundreds and thousands of INNOCENT people dying! And now the slug faced wants to gift us sarees! If my facts are not wrong, Saree is the most sensual form of garment ever invented! Nothing flatters a body more than a saree! Why don't you wear a lungi, mister? Maybe when his goons catch hold of HIS daughter, then he will understand.
Phew, sorry, got carried away. But I feel good, very good! :P I hope something happens to him (read: heart attack) when he sees those pink chaddis! And I hope each one of us gets our V-day gift from him, the pink sarees. Not a bad colour! :)
My take on Love, Valentine's day and all:
Somehow, love always reminds me of a flower, as in how the petals make place for each one to grow gracefully and beautifully by making compromises, but not portraying it as an effort. I think Love is also something like that..giving each other his/her due place and respect, yet being one.
And Valentine's day is yet another day to celebrate this happy and graceful bonding.
And I am going now, as
BUT Before I end, another quote:
Love has no desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires; To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
- Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Mining Specifics
Transparency and Accountability
Policy, Legal and Contractual Framework
Sector Organization and Institutions
Fiscal Design and Administration
Revenue Management and Distribution
Sustainable Development
- Examples of effective tax administration policies include:
- Separate Unit: where mining is an important sector in terms of the relative or actual size of tax payments, the Tax Authority may have a separate Mining Unit as part of its Large Business Unit with well skilled and experienced staff and adequate resources including computer system.
- Tax audits: (also see above, Chapter 7) many tax administrations do not undertake mining company field tax audits which creates the risk of substantial underestimation and payment of taxes since companies will interpret tax rules to their advantage and may also exploit loopholes unless audited. Less reputable companies may also over state assets through inflated intangibles or other questionable actions.
- Projections of expected tax assessments: obtaining annual projections from mining company of expected tax assessments can provide the tax authority staff with a baseline to measure against since mining tax returns are generally very large and complicated.
- Cross checking different returns: states should be familiar with the operations and profitability of each large mining tax payer and large mining operation and will cross check the additional tax calculations and data for consistency with other tax submissions such as profits tax, dividend tax, VAT and customs declarations.
- Transparency: all tax rates should be public knowledge.
- Double Taxation Agreements (DTA) prevent double taxation of the same income or profits by two different governments and thus make the investment environment more attractive. But host countries need to protect themselves from investors' treaty shopping and locating "paper" parent companies in tax treaty countries for purposes of tax avoidance (again, see above, Chapter 7).
- Policies that guard against the use of heavily leveraged subsidiaries (in particular) utilizing high costs of servicing debts to reduce tax liability, and that further guard against the use of inter-affiliate transactions for tax avoidance purposes (for both, again, see above, Chapter 7).
- Separate Unit: where mining is an important sector in terms of the relative or actual size of tax payments, the Tax Authority may have a separate Mining Unit as part of its Large Business Unit with well skilled and experienced staff and adequate resources including computer system.
