We are the number one source relied upon by several recruiting firms.
The fact that we are the number one source relied upon by recruiting firms speaks volumes about us and our services. Recruiters have subscribed in droves to our site for years because we help them locate jobs no one else knows about and they rely on finding education jobs like this to make a living.
However, there is a danger when you use a recruiter for your job search: You will come with a fee that could be as much as 40% of your annual salary attached. If you apply directly to jobs without a recruiter then you will be more likely to get interviews and job offers. We show you the same jobs many recruiters are quietly "shopping" because they are not receiving a lot of applications and allow you to get "an edge" when applying to these jobs that others simply do not have. In fact, many of the jobs on our site are so esoteric and with such small employers that even recruiters may not be interested in these jobs. These are the exact sorts of jobs that our members get every single day and many of them have often spent years searching for a position by other means.
We offer something that recruiting professionals and the smartest education job seekers know you can't get anywhere else: We collect education jobs from tens of thousands of different sources and make them accessible to our subscribers. Recruiters use us to give the people they work with an incredible advantage in their education job searches and you should too.
We have often heard people say things to us like what makes your site different than Indeed, SimplyHired, or TheLadders. Each of these sites holds themselves out as "research-oriented" sites like ours, but none of them puts in quite the amount of research that we do every day.
By collecting jobs for our members we make every opportunity we can find available to them. The greater the opportunities, the greater the chance of finding a job, and specifically of finding one that is a good fit. By becoming a member of EducationCrossing and under our care, you get the benefit of having a personal army of researchers, computers and more researching job opportunities for you tirelessly.
We want to go to work for you and find you your next job. EducationCrossing works for you and not employers.
We believe the largest benefit of our site is access to more non-competitive jobs. Because of the costs of posting jobs on other job boards many employers prefer to list their job openings on their own websites, in small regional publications and even obscure association websites. We, unlike any other job board, search individual company websites and locate those jobs.
The end result is a combination of more and more jobs that only EducationCrossing members are seeing. This is especially important in today's job market, where, according to the fifth edition of Job-Hunting Online, more and more employers are looking to avoid "resume smog." Employers using other sites to advertise job openings are often inundated with hundreds and even thousands of resumes for a single opening. When competition is so stiff, job hunting becomes a terribly difficult task.
EducationCrossing shows you jobs that are receiving a lot of applications, of course, but more significantly we show you jobs that very few people know about. The ability to be the only applicant, or one of a few applicants for a job, is something that can give you a tremendous edge in the hunt for a new position.
There are thousands of online testimonials from people who got their jobs through us.
Every day thousands of education professionals come to EducationCrossing in search of the perfect position, and daily we receive numerous testimonials from people who used us and found the perfect position. While testimonials are certainly something that any decent service should have, we believe the character of our testimonials are "different" because many people who use our site receive numerous interviews and offers within days when they have been searching unsuccessfully for months or years prior to using our site. Most of our subscribers, in fact, are repeat subscribers who are using our site after having successfully found a job using our site years previously.
A site like EducationCrossing is different because we are showing you many unpublicized education jobs from places other education job seekers do not look. The result is that you are often the only applicant to these jobs and stand a much better chance of getting interviewed and hired than if you use other sites. EducationCrossing actually goes out and spends a great deal of our time and effort researching job openings. This is what is going to change your career and how you perceive looking for a job forever.
We posted more than 8,458 new education jobs this week.
We are finding jobs at such a rapid and alarming pace that you would find it difficult to get through all the jobs we have listed, even if you dedicated yourself to this full-time. It takes an incredible amount of servers, programmers and Internet bandwidth to track down jobs the way we do on our site. In fact, we review over 50,000 websites each day for jobs. This is a huge and stunning number and something that would probably take one person several decades to do what we are able to accomplish in one day.
It is incredibly important to contrast what we do at EducationCrossing with what other job sites do. Whether it is Monster, HotJobs, CareerBuilder, SimplyHired, Indeed, or TheLadders-each of these websites doesn't come close to spending the time doing the research that we're doing each day. This means that you end up seeing fewer jobs. In contrast, EducationCrossing does research for you every day in order to find all the jobs possible in order to help make you successful in your job search.
The benefits of being able to access so many jobs are that you have the ability to get more interviews and offers and make decisions in your life about:
- where you want to work
- who you want to work for
- what you want to be doing
We list 100% of Fortune 500 jobs.
At EducationCrossing you have access to 100% of the education jobs advertised by Fortune 500 companies. By contrast, if you are relying solely on the "Big 3" jobs boards—Monster, HotJobs, and CareerBuilder—your access is limited to just a small percentage of the job openings at Fortune 500 companies that these companies are choosing to advertise.
Often times the most successful companies have in-house recruiters and consequently post their job openings on their own company websites. Not only does this make sense for them financially, but it also narrows the applicant pool to a manageable amount. Because the big job boards charge upwards of $300 to advertise a single job on their site, many companies do not list their openings there for financial reasons. Further, with upwards of 1,000 applicants per job listed on the Big Boards it allows hiring managers to avoid being inundated by "resume smog." 1 While we accept paid job listings, we spend a great deal of time researching job listings from employer websites, which gives you a clear advantage in your job search.
That's where EducationCrossing, America's leading job aggregator, steps in. We do the research, find the jobs not listed on public job boards, and aggregate them in one convenient location. Limiting yourself to a small percentage of the job openings at Fortune 500 companies really forecloses on a lot of otherwise available opportunities. To compound the problem, often times these opportunities are the best opportunities out there in terms of job status and pay rate.
In order to find the best job out there for you, you need to have access to the best jobs. While in theory you could do all the research yourself and locate jobs listed on individual company sites, it would require an incredible amount of man-hours. So incredible that it would be humanly impossible for one individual to do so on her own. To maintain current information on all the jobs out there, in other words, to maintain a database rivaling ours at EducationCrossing, you would need millions of dollars and the strength of hundreds of people, working 24-hours a day, seven days a week. I'm sure most people don't have those resources, and if you do, you probably don't need a job.
To put it briefly, we give you access. Without access, you cannot get results.

We go out and find education jobs.
What EducationCrossing does is go out and find every single education job that it can. We contact employers seeking all of their jobs and we do it in multiple ways. We contact employers directly. We scour websites for openings electronically and monitor their information constantly to see if jobs are coming up. We also monitor every single other job board we can find out there to make sure that we have all of the open jobs in one place. This is a huge advantage to job seekers and something that gives you access to jobs that people who do not use EducationCrossing simply do not know about.
"Because employers are paying so much money to post jobs, they expect a ton of applications," says Harrison Barnes, the CEO of Employment Research Institute.
Accordingly, these job boards go out and do everything they can to drive users to these jobs. Their entire emphasis is on getting tons of people to apply to these jobs. The problem with this sort of business philosophy is that it actually makes it much harder for people applying for jobs to get jobs. Incredibly, when people are using the average job board they are using a site whose entire business model is based on keeping jobs out and making people apply to the few jobs that are there. Although we do accept paid job listings, we also scour the internet, classified ads, newspapers, and many other sources for jobs and show you these precious resources that the other job sites just don't have. This also ensures that the jobs aren't flooded with applications, which gives you a better chance at getting the job you're looking for.
When you come across a job board advertisement on the side of a bus, a bench, the television, the radio, or in newspapers, magazines, parades, and other places, you should look upon this particular job board with trepidation. The reason why you should is because they are trying to drive people to jobs. The fact of the matter is that if there are more people applying to the jobs you are interested in, it is going to be much harder for you to find the right job.
- Government websites
- Association websites
- Public interest websites
- University and school websites
- Small job boards
- Medium job boards
- Large job boards
- Magazines
- Newspapers
- Specialty publications
When you think about using a job board only sits around waiting for jobs, you are really short-changing yourself. Why would you do this?
We offer live phone support.
There are real people behind the EducationCrossing sites. These people are working like crazy to research education jobs for you. You can reach us on the phone any time between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday (excluding holidays), and we will be more than happy to speak with you about your job search. We want to help you and will do everything within our power to answer your questions.
- If you are having technical issues with our website, call us and we can transfer you to our technology experts.
- If you are interested in setting up a search (e.g., job alerts), call us for help.
- If you want to know if we have any additional information about a job, call us for help.
- If you are interested in discussing your job search, call us for help.
- If there is a place that lists education jobs we do not know about, let us know.
- If there is anything whatsoever we can do for you, call us for help.
We offer an exclusive, members-only subscription to weed out stray job searchers.
Given the fact that we require a paid subscription to view education jobs on our site, we are able to limit the number of people viewing our jobs. By limiting the number of people looking at our jobs we are able to keep down the competition you will face for these jobs. By keeping the number of applications down, we make it much easier for you to find a job. This is a big part of the philosophy behind EducationCrossing.
We believe that the benefits we provide for education job seekers are profound. First, we find jobs that hardly anyone knows about. Second, we charge to access our site and limit the number of applications (if any) these jobs receive. Because the number of applications is so limited to the jobs we locate, our members receive more interviews and more education jobs.
While a subscription to EducationCrossing does require a job seeker to pay a small amount of cash out-of-pocket, it is that same drawback that makes EducationCrossing an effective and worthwhile investment. Here at EducationCrossing we spend a large portion of our resources and efforts researching and updating job openings and balance this out by selling job postings and promoting our service. However, whenever we have sponsored listings, we let you know so that we can remain an unbiased source of jobs.
What we do takes an incredible amount of effort. Imagine investing thousands of hours a day in researching jobs yourself. Needless to say, that would be impossible. So we do it for you.
Your membership supports our research. We take our membership fees and apply them to doing research on the market in order to find jobs. People who have never experienced EducationCrossing often say "I do not believe in paying to find a job." However, what these people fail to realize is that this is what they are ultimately saying:
- I want to compete with thousands of others for the same job.
- I want to only see a few jobs at a time and not every job on the market.
- I do not believe in research.
- I do not want to know about jobs that others do not know about.
- My time is not valuable and I want to take my chances with public job boards.
And here's the key to the success of EducationCrossing: we work for you, not employers. We get the maximum number of education job listings possible for our subscribers, including jobs not advertised elsewhere. We limit who can search for jobs on EducationCrossing. At EducationCrossing it is easier to find a job because, simply put, there is less competition for our listings than for those posted elsewhere. Not only do our researchers find jobs not posted anywhere else, but about 95% of job seekers are weeded out because they do not wish to pay the fee for membership.
Not only do you see the education jobs that people using public job boards are not seeing, but you become a member of a limited class of people. At EducationCrossing one of the primary hurdles to finding acceptable employment is overcome; competition is reduced so you can get the education job(s) you want.
We actively seek out employment opportunities for our clients.
EducationCrossing is a job aggregation service that goes out and consolidates every single education job it can find from every single source it can, giving you a much wider selection than just paid job listings alone.
The business model of the average employment site that we are aware of is like the classified section of a newspaper. It involves waiting for employers willing to pay large sums of money to post a job on the site. The only jobs you see are the jobs that employers pay to post.
This has the effect of limiting the number of jobs that are actually available. It would be like if Google only showed you results that people were paying $500 to show. If this were the case, you would get very few results when you searched the Internet. This is exactly how the average employment site works. Even if employers do call on job boards to post jobs, they are unlikely to post all of them because it costs too much money. Instead, the employers will most often put the jobs on their websites.
Most job sites are actually much worse than what is described above. In addition to only showing you a limited number of jobs that employers are paying hundreds of dollars to post, the same job boards do everything they can to drive traffic to their sites and increase the number of applications that the job site receives. EmploymentCrossing does accept money from employers for paid listings. However, we always clearly show the difference between a sponsored or non-sponsored listing so that we remain an unbiased source of jobs for you.
We monitor every education job opening in the world that we can find.
EducationCrossing offers the largest collection of active education jobs in the world. We aggressively contact and investigate thousands of employers to learn about new positions.
Our users benefit from up-to-the-hour information on new jobs as it becomes available. We can even tell our members about jobs irrespective of whether the employer wants information about the job publicly disseminated or not.
In order to provide access to so many listings, we review thousands of websites in search of education jobs every day. We search virtually every other job source (printed and Internet-based) for jobs as well. We literally provide access to more jobs than any other source out there. If you find a place that lists jobs that we do not know about, let us know. After all, we want to know about every single education job from every single location so we can tell you about it.
So while our competitors sit around and wait for people to show up and pay them to post a job on their site, we are out there researching and working hard for you, in addition to offering paid listings for employers.
About 99% of our efforts are spent on researching and updating education job openings.
The vast majority of our efforts are spent researching and updating education jobs so that our subscribers have access to virtually every education job opening out there and so that all openings are kept current. We are a research-driven organization whose primary aim is to locate as many job opportunities as possible for our members. We organize the products of our research and eliminate a good portion of the cumbersome process of finding a job. Not only do we locate jobs not listed anywhere else but we do so on such a massive scale that it would be impossible for any individual to even come close to duplicating our research efforts.
We work hard for you and provide our members with the advantage of having a personal army of researchers tirelessly locating new and exciting job opportunities.
EducationCrossing serves both job seekers and employers equally.
Our site exists to serve both job seekers and employers in order to help both of them. We do everything within our power to ensure that we are providing you with information that is relevant to you and only you. Your needs are important and you should not be spending your time on a website that does not understand you and your needs.
We are a research company that is able to balance both research and sales.
We are a research company that does offer paid job listings. There is a massive difference between a research company with balanced sales versus the other leading job sites.
As researchers our main focus is not selling ads for employers, although we do offer that option. We mainly judge ourselves based on our research ability. You may call us "bookish," but it is good to have us working on your behalf. We go out and research every possible job that we can find. We do this in an "academic" sort of way. We use computers to do this research, we use people to do this research, and we comb through books, magazines, periodicals, and other lists looking for new sources of jobs for you. We love what we do.
Our company is run by employment research analysts who are very good at research. We have people who have worked for large organizations in a research capacity. This is something we are good at. Because we are so good at researching, our site not only has more jobs than our competitors but has jobs that most of your peers simply do not know about. We believe that the purpose of our research is to get you a job.
In our opinion, the entire business model in the employment industry is skewed. Our competitors are not researchers. Instead, competitive job boards exist as organizations that only sell job postings to employers (e.g., charging $500 to post a job on their site). This is not a research type of activity; it is more of a sales type of activity. We are able to balance having paid job listings with the massive amount of research we do and are able to offer you the best of both worlds, giving you unbiased job listings.
Working with a job board that is only focused on sales and not focused mainly on research is not something that does you a lot of good when you are looking for a job. You need to have access to all relevant jobs, not just the paid ones. That is why you are best off dealing with a research organization that also offers paid listings like EducationCrossing.
We keep your information private.
Unlike many of the job boards out there, we keep your information completely private. Your personal information, including you resume, is not even accessible to EducationCrossing employees. We do NOT sell your contact information or any other information about you to any outside sources, period.
We also do not sell access to your resume to outside people.
Our sole purpose is to serve you and your education job search needs. Selling your information would do nothing to accomplish that goal, so therefore we do not do it. You are who we work for and you deserve your privacy.

Achilles Tendon Rupture
Achilles tendon is a strong fibrous cord present behind the ankle that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. It is used when you walk, run and jump. The Achilles tendon ruptures most often in athletes participating in sports that involve running, pivoting and jumping. Recreational sports that may cause Achilles rupture include tennis, football, basketball and gymnastics.
When the Achilles tendon ruptures, you will experience severe pain in the back of your leg above your heel, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty to stand on tiptoe and push the leg when walking. A popping or snapping sound may be heard when the injury occurs.
Your doctor diagnoses the rupture based on symptoms, history of the injury and physical examination. Your doctor may also feel a gap or depression in the tendon, just above heel bone. Your doctor will gently squeeze the calf muscles. If the Achilles tendon is intact, there will be flexion movement of the foot, if it is ruptured, there will be no movement observed.
Achilles tendon rupture is treated using non-surgical method or surgical method. Non-surgical treatment involves wearing a cast or special brace which lifts your heel, allowing the tendon to heal. Surgical procedure involves opening the skin and suturing the torn tendon together. Surgery helps to decrease the recurrence of the Achilles tendon in comparison to the non-surgical treatment. With either treatment, physical therapy is recommended to improve the strength and flexibility of leg muscles and the Achilles tendon.
To help prevent an Achilles tendon injury, it is a good practice to perform stretching and warm-up exercises before participating in any exercises or sports activities. Gradually increase the intensity and length of time of activity. Muscle conditioning may help to strengthen the muscles in the body.

Special Services and Blessings of the Orthodox Church
At the center of the life of the Church is the Holy Eucharist, which is the principal celebration of our faith and the means through which we participate in the very life of the Holy Trinity. The major Sacraments are closely related to the Eucharist and they bear witness to the continuing presence of Christ in the lives of His people.
Besides the Eucharist and the major Sacraments, the Orthodox Church has a number of Special Services and Blessings which are associated with the needs, events, and tasks of human life. In celebrating these various Services and Blessings, the Church is constantly bearing witness to the presence and action of God in our lives. Our God is one who loves us, cares for us, and is near to us. The liturgical Services and Blessings also serve to remind us that all of life is important, and that the many events and gifts of life can be directed toward God and receive their fulfillment in Him.
The Special Services are often referred to as non-sacramental Services in the sense that they are events of community worship which are not usually counted among the major Sacraments. However, they clearly have a sacramental quality in the sense that they reveal the presence of the Holy Trinity. Many of these Services, such as the Funeral, the Blessing of Water, and the Entrance into Monastic Life, just to name a few, are very significant to the life of the Church. The various Blessings are brief ceremonies which are occasional and do not necessarily involve directly the entire parish community.
The Church blesses individuals, events such as trips, and objects such as icons, churches, flowers, fields, animals, and food. In so doing, the Church is not only expressing our thanks giving, but also affirming that no gift, event, or human responsibility is secular or detached from God. For the Orthodox Christian, all good things have God as their origin and goal. Nothing is outside of God's love and concern.
Funeral Service
The death of a Christian not only affects the family, but also the entire Church, for we are all part of the Body of Christ. The Orthodox Funeral Service, which expresses this fact, is not to be seen primarily as an opportunity to extol, in a sentimental way, the virtues of an individual. Rather, the various prayers and hymns emphasize the harsh reality of death, as well as the victorious Resurrection of Christ through which the power of death is conquered. The Funeral Service comforts those who mourn; it is also the means through which the Church prays for one of its members who has died in the faith of Christ. Orthodoxy views the end of physical existence only as the termination of one stage of life. God's love is stronger than death, and the Resurrection of Christ bears witness to this power.
The Orthodox Funeral consists of three Services. First, there is a Vigil Service after death, which is usually conducted at the time of the wake. This service is called the Trisagion Service. The Church prays to Christ "to give rest with the Saints to the soul of Your servant where there is neither pain, grief, nor sighing but life everlasting." While the Church prays for the soul of the deceased, great respect is paid to the body. Orthodoxy believes the body of the Christian is sacred since it was the Temple of the Holy Spirit.
The body will share also in the final restoration of all creation. The Funeral Service is continued at the Church, where the body is brought on the day of burial. Ideally, the Divine Liturgy is celebrated. After the Funeral Service, the congregation offers its Farewell to the deceased. The Trisagion Service is repeated at the graveside.
Memorial Service
Death alters but does not destroy the bond of love and faith which exists among all the members of the Church. Orthodoxy believes that through our prayers, those "who have fallen asleep in the faith and the hope of the Resurrection" continue to have opportunity to grow closer to God. Therefore, the Church prays constantly for her members who have died in Christ. We place our trust in the love of God and the power of mutual love and forgiveness. We pray that God will forgive the sins of the faithful departed, and that He will receive them into the company of Saints in the heavenly Kingdom.
The Orthodox Church remembers the departed in the prayers of every Divine Liturgy. Besides this, there is a Memorial Service in which the Church also remembers the dead. According to tradition, the Memorial Service is offered on the third, ninth, and fortieth day after a death, as well as on the yearly anniversary of the death. In addition to these times, the Memorial Service is always offered for all the faithful departed on four "Saturdays of the souls." These are: the two Saturdays preceding Great Lent; the first Saturday of Great Lent; and, the Saturday before Pentecost. In the United States the Service is also offered on Memorial Day. When the Memorial Service is offered, it is customary for the family of the deceased to bring a dish of boiled wheat to the Church. The boiled wheat is placed on a table in the center of the nave during the Service. The wheat, known as kollyva, is a symbol of the Resurrection. When speaking of the Resurrection, our Lord said: "Unless the grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone, but if it dies it bears much fruit." (John 12:24)
The Great Blessing of Water: Megas Agiasmos
Epiphany, one of the oldest and most important Feast days of the Orthodox Church, commemorates the manifestation of the Holy Trinity which took place at the Baptism of Christ in the Jordan River. Recognizing rich meaning in this event, Orthodoxy believes that when Christ was baptized, it not only marked the beginning of its public ministry and revealed the Trinity, but also signified that the entire creation is destined to share in the glory of redemption in Christ. While Christ entered into the Jordan to be baptized, two things were happening: He was identifying Himself with the people He had come to save; and, He was identifying Himself with the whole of Creation which was represented by water. Through His baptism, the Lord revealed the value of the created world and He redirected it toward its Creator. Creation is good and it belongs to God.
The Great Blessing of Water is held on the eve of the Feast of the Epiphany and on the day itself, following the Divine Liturgy. The Blessing not only remembers the event of Our Lord's baptism and the revelation of the Holy Trinity but also expresses Orthodoxy's belief that creation is sanctified through Christ. The Blessing affirms that humanity and the created world, of which we are a part, were created to be filled with the sanctifying presence of God. After the solemn blessing, the Holy Water is distributed to the faithful and is used to bless homes during the Epiphany season. When the faithful drink the "Epiphany Water," we are reminded of our own baptism. When the Church blesses an individual, or object, or event with the water, we are affirming that those baptized, their surroundings, and their responsibilities are sanctified through Christ and brought into the Kingdom of the Father through the Spirit.
In addition to the Great Blessing of Water, there is a Lesser Blessing of Water service which can take place at anytime. Usually, it is celebrated when a home is blessed, on the first day of the month, the beginning of the school year, and beginning of new responsibilities.
The Blessing of Bread Artoklasia
The Blessing of Five Loaves of Bread is a brief service of thanksgiving through which we express our gratitude for all the blessings of life. Oil, wine, wheat, and the loaves of bread which are used in the service, are viewed as the most basic elements necessary for life. The Blessing reminds us of the miracle of the multiplication of the bread and fish by which Christ fed the multitude. This Blessing is usually offered during Vespers or after the Divine Liturgy on Feast days and other special occasions. After the Service, the bread is cut and distributed to the congregation.
Akathist Hymn
The Orthodox Church worships God alone. Yet, she does offer veneration to individuals who have been important human instruments of God in the history of salvation. Among those so venerated is Mary, the Mother of God the Theotokos. The Orthodox Church greatly honors Mary because she was chosen to give birth to the Son of God. As one of the hymns declares:
"By singing praise to your maternity, we exalt you as a spiritual temple, Theotokos. For the One Who dwelt within your womb, the Lord who holds all things in his hands, sanctified you, glorified you, and taught all to sing to you ... "
The most beautiful and poetic service of the Orthodox Church in honor of Mary, the Theotokos, is the Akathist Hymn. The word akathist means without sitting. The congregation stands throughout the Service out of respect for Mary and her unique role in our salvation in Christ. The Akathist Hymn is chanted in four parts during the first four Fridays of Great Lent. On the fifth Friday, the entire Service is chanted.
The Service of Supplication: Paraklesis
The Service of Supplication, which is also known as Paraklesis, is one offered especially at times of sickness, temptation, or discouragement. The various prayers ask the Lord for guidance, personal strength, and healing. Many of the hymns and prayers are directed toward Mary, the Theotokos, and they ask for her assistance. Orthodoxy affirms that each of us, with Mary, the Saints, and the faithful departed is united in a bond of faith and love in Christ. Therefore, just as in this life we can turn to each other for prayer, the Church believes that we can also turn to Mary - the human being closest to God - and ask her to pray to God for us. This belief is expressed in the hymn which says:
"O never failing protectress of Christians and their ever-present intercessor before the Creator; despise not the petitions or sinners who have recourse to you, by your goodness extend your help to us to call upon you with confidence. Has O Theotokos, to intercede for us, O who have always protected those who honor you."
There are two forms of the Service of Supplication: the Greater and the Lesser. It is Lesser Service of Supplication which is briefer and the one most frequently offered. Both forms of the Service are offered during first fourteen days of August which precedes the Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos celebrated on August 15th.

Often I would buy something new and somehow it would go missing. A couple months later I'd see it on her as if it were never mine. I think this is a common memory for most girls who have sisters.
This dress sort of reminded me of something I'd steal from her. I really liked the way it looked on me, all soft and flowy. I felt like a Spanish dancer.
This dress has an empire waist. But the best part is the skirt. I made it with two tiers. Not only that but each tier has two full circle skirt cuts. Very wide when open.
The part I liked about the cut is that it is a little shorter at the sides, almost unnoticablely shorter. But it gives the dress and flirty look without looking too short in front (coming down to my knees).
The top is lined with a robin's egg blue trim in the front and back.
The bottom of the skirt is also lined with trim which makes it bellow out more. If you twirl or move slightly to the left or right the look is amazing! I want to wear this dress to a nice summer on-the-beach party or take a trip to Hawaii and wear it to a luau. Any of you interested?
It's supposed to snow BIG on Thursday. This year has held the record for most snowfall and it doesn't look like it's going to be letting up anytime soon. Thinking of warm weather and Hawaiian luaus makes me sad. Yesterday I rolled down my driver's side window while listening to a song on the radio and longed for a time when I didn't have to roll it back up because of the cold.
Someday soon.
Until then I'll be satisfying my cravings by sewing some tropical weather wear. Hopefully you will benefit from my longing.
And sorry it took me until the afternoon to get this post up. I had a terrible headache last night. Reminded me of when I was pregnant. Not pleasant. I went to bed around 9:30 pm.
Since I'm not down to my pre-baby weight this dress is made to fit a slightly larger size than my previous dresses. However, since it has an empire waist I might suggest that it can fit almost anyone as long as you don't have a bust size over 36".
Also, I received a couple emails about winners. I know I have been horribly behind. I will try to have them up by tomorrow.
Many of you said that you would like to enter more giveaways, but have various issues with linking. Of course, I want anyone that is interested in entering a giveaway to be able to do so.
Therefore, from now on, giveaways can be entered in three ways:
1) By linking (to your blog, facebook, myspace, or any other site)
2) By leaving a comment without a link or
3) By linking and leaving a comment (this will be worth 2 entries which will better your chances of winning). Find more info under the FAQ page.
If you are leaving a link just use the 'create a link' at the bottom of this post or simply creating a post on your blog and including this link.
If you use blogger just use the "create a link" link at the bottom of this post. If you don't use blogger, that's fine too. Just create a link on your page as you normally would and I will see it using Technorati.

Salut, I come from the French city Bordeaux where I spent most of my time, before I moved to Paris and then Dublin where I work now in Google Search Quality. When not in front of my computer, I like to go to the cinema, play chess and organize dinnerswith my friends.- Guide Google
Ciao, my name is Stefano and I'm responsible for the Italian Webmaster Help Group. I work on search quality issues in Italian. I'm from Italy and have been living in Ireland for more than 2 years. I do love the multicultural environment you can find in Dublin and all the people from everywhere you get to know here, but sometimes it's difficult to be so far away from my favorite football team, so now and then I really have to fly back home to get a bit of Serie A.- Guida Google
Grüss Gott! My name is Uli, and I post in the German Webmaster Help Group. I am originally from Germany but live in Ireland now. Unfortunately, I don't have my own website to show off. The German Help Group has grown into a big, vibrant community of very helpful and savvy webmasters, so if you speak German, go and check it out!- Google Webmeister Guide
Hola! My name is Alvar and I'll be monitoring the Spanish Webmaster Help Group. Please join us if you speak a word or two in Spanish :-) More on the personal side, I don't own a portal or something like that but rather a tiny blog with nearly no visibility on the Internet, and I'm happy with that. I studied telecommunication engineering and my hobbies include soccer, foosball, table tennis, basically almost any other sport, traveling, photography, cinema, and technology, so I admit sitting in front of a computer can be counted as a hobby :-) Another important fact about me is that I'm from Barcelona, a city everyone should visit at least once in their life. What are you waiting for?- Guía de Google para webmastersHola, I'm Rebecca. I studied to be a librarian but somehow along the way ended up being drawn into the digital side of information. So while I still snuggle up to books at night, computers take up most of my day. As for things I like to do (but wouldn't go so far as to call them hobbies…) I'm still pretty new to Dublin so I rather enjoy walking around until I'm lost and then trying to figure out how to get back home, and then when I get back home I like to play with my cat, best known for her fantastic Gollum impersonation when she gets riled up.- Guía de Google
Hallo, I'm Andre. I'm very fond of Dutch music. But since living in Dublin for almost 2 years now, my taste for music has fused with the Irish sound. I like listening to live music in pubs, hanging out with the locals, have a pint or two and talking about upcoming gigs, artists, and all other topics that pass the day.- André
Hejsan! My name is Hessam and I'm responsible for the Swedish Webmaster Help Group. I've been with Google for the last 2 years, working on search quality issues in Sweden. I'm originally from Sweden but moved to Dublin two years ago. My main interest is traveling and living in Dublin makes it easy to visit to all corners of Europe without blowing the budget. Thanks to cheap airlines, it takes merely a few hours from my door to the beer gardens of Munich, wine bars of Paris, ski slopes of Italy or beaches of Spain, depending on the mood. Looking forward to talking to you all!- Google Webbansvarig Guide
Hei, I'm Anu and I work in the Search Quality team. I'm originally from Finland but these days I hold my umbrella high in Dublin. When I'm not online, you can catch me cycling (be it one or two wheels), playing virtual tennis or at the airport. I've been bitten by the travel bug, and try to see as many places near and far as possible. Besides all things webmaster related, I also have an interest in foreign languages, books and films. I look forward to meeting you in the Finnish Webmaster Help Group!- Googlen Web-ylläpidon Ryhmän Opas
Cześć, I'm Guglarz (it stands for Googler in Polish), the Googler on the Polish Webmaster Help Group. I was lucky to grow up in the city of Kraków, Poland's most beautiful city and the place where Google recently opened a research center. I've been with Google for two years now and I still love this job as much as I did the very first day. It's my favorite hobby activity in fact. If I don't work, I like to keep myself busy with general aviation, running or bowling, a sport I recently found out I was talented in. ;-)I discovered my passion for the Internet early in school and after graduating in information science studies I was looking for a challenging position in the industry, although after the year 2000 crash there was little hope for that. It took me a couple of jobs in the established industries and some traveling around the globe before I found my dream job here at Google.Ever since I started helping on the Polish Webmaster Help Group, it has been growing rapidly, both in terms of user numbers as much as in terms of the activity. It's really exciting to see how Polish webmasters help each other and make the web a more interesting place. Three group members, Cezary Lech, Umik and krzys in particular made an effort to vitalize the community in its early days. I'd like to say dziękuję (thank you in Polish) and please keep up the great spirit - thumbs up!- Guglarz
Olá, my name is Pedro. I'm Portuguese and I'm part of the Search Quality team. I've been working at Google since March 2006 mostly focused on the Portuguese language markets. I grew up in Tavira, a small town in the Algarve region – South of Portugal – and I always had a nerdy side, playing with computers since my very early days when memory meant 128KB. Most of my interests fall on my origins, I enjoy sailing and scuba diving, music is also on my top list. I'm based in the European Headquarters – Dublin office, and I'll be looking to strengthening contact with Portuguese webmasters (non Portuguese are also welcome).- Ajuda a Webmasters do Google
Привет! My name is Oxana and I come from Moldova, a teeny tiny country in Eastern Europe. My background is in mathematics and computer sciences and I have worked as a web developer for more than 7 years now. Of course I have a web site, but it features only an, unfortunately, eternal "under construction" message and a hope for a better future. :) I love to read and to travel, and at the moment I am a helpless wannabe photographer. Also, I'm a passionate WoW player and soon I'll become the best Warlock Orc on this side of Kalimdor! When I'm a grown-up person I work at Google on the Search Quality team and I primarily support the Russian market.- Оксана
Hej, my name is Jonas, and I am from Copenhagen, the wonderful capital of beautiful Denmark. I've been a webmaster of a blog since 2001, where I still drop a few lines every now and then. I am a jack of many trades, with a background in human geography and communication, design, and media. I've done some authoring for the web, but mostly administrative backends in PHP/MySQL, so they are not that interesting. I've been active on Usenet for awhile as well, and spent many hours there, getting smarter with the help of others.I've been with Google for a couple of years now, working exclusively with search quality and I am now helping out in the Danish Webmaster Help Group. Looking forward to seeing you there (:- GoogleGuide

Over a period of time, the jawbone associated with missing teeth atrophies or is reabsorbed. This often leaves a condition in which there is poor quality and quantity of bone suitable for placement of dental implants. In these situations, most patients are not candidates for placement of dental implants.
Today, we have the ability to grow bone where needed. This not only gives us the opportunity to place implants of proper length and width, it also gives us a chance to restore functionality and aesthetic appearance.
Bone grafting can repair implant sites with inadequate bone structure due to previous extractions, gum disease or injuries. The bone is either obtained from a tissue bank or your own bone is taken from the jaw, hip or tibia (below the knee). Sinus bone grafts are also performed to replace bone in the posterior upper jaw. In addition, special membranes may be utilized that dissolve under the gum and protect the bone graft and encourage bone regeneration. This is called guided bone regeneration or guided tissue regeneration.
Major bone grafts are typically performed to repair defects of the jaws. These defects may arise as a result of traumatic injuries, tumor surgery, or congenital defects. Large defects are repaired using the patient's own bone. This bone is harvested from a number of different sites depending on the size of the defect. The skull (cranium), hip (iliac crest), and lateral knee (tibia), are common donor sites. These procedures are routinely performed in an operating room and require a hospital stay.

Here's a question we often get at our practice: Is my child too young for contact lenses?' This is an important question, and the answer may surprise you.
For children with myopia (nearsightedness), contact lenses can be a convenient method of vision correction. It allows kids to go about their day without having to worry about breaking or misplacing their glasses, and enables them to freely participate in sports and other physical activities.
Local Contact lens supplier near you in Belmont, Oregon
Some children and young teens may ask their parents for contact lenses because they feel self-conscious wearing glasses. Contact lenses may even provide children with the confidence boost they need to come out of their shell. Moreover, these days, it is very popular for children to wear single-use one-day disposable soft contacts, since there is no cleaning or maintenance involved.
Some parents may deny their child's request for contacts due to concerns about eye health and safety. There's no reason to worry: contact lenses are just as safe for children as they are for anyone else.

What Are the Risks of Having My Child Wear Contact Lenses?

A study published in the January 2021 issue of The Journal of Ophthalmic & Physiological Optics found that kids aren't at a higher risk of experiencing contact lens complications.
The study followed nearly 1000 children aged 8-16 over the course of 1.5-3 years to determine how contact lenses affected their eye health.
The results indicate that age doesn't have an effect on contact lens safety. In fact, the researchers found that the risk of developing infections or other adverse reactions was less than 1% per year of wear — which is comparable to contact lens wearers of other ages.
But before you decide that contact lenses are right for your child, you may want to consider whether your child is ready to wear them. During his or her eye doctor's appointment, the optometrist may ask about your child's level of maturity, responsibility, and personal hygiene. Since many children are highly motivated to wear contacts, they tend to display real maturity in caring for their lenses. That said, in the initial stages, parents may need to play an active role, as their child gets used to inserting and removing the new contact lenses.
It's important to note that just as with any other medical device, contact lenses are not risk-free. Anyone who wears contact lenses has a chance of developing eye infections or other complications with contact lenses. However, when worn and cared for according to your eye doctor's instructions, contact lenses are low-risk and perfectly safe for children and teenagers.
So, go ahead and bring your child in for a contact lens consultation! We'll help determine if your child is ready for contacts and answer any questions you or your child may have. To schedule your child's contact lens fitting or eye exam, contact EyeStyles+Care in Belmont today.

In 2017, Canada turns 150! In marking Canada's sesquicentennial, Historica Canada is highlighting 50 events that have helped shape our country since Confederation. At the same time, it is important to note that that the human history of what is now known as Canada began well before 1867. Indigenous peoples lived on this land long before European contact, and have histories that significantly predate modern Canada. We can look back upon many proud moments in our history, but must also examine...

Levies can really do a lot of damage and even ruin your life. A levy is the IRS's way of getting your immediate attention. What they are saying is, we have tried to communicate with you but you have ignored us. Levies are used to seize your wages and whatever other assets you have. If you own it, they can take it. That includes checking accounts, auto's, stocks, bonds, boats, paychecks, and even Social Security checks!
Imagine waking up one morning and finding all your bank accounts have been cleaned out. They will take every dime. If this amount did not cover what is owed, they'll keep taking your money until you cover your tax liability. They know that levying your bank account will cause checks to bounce, alerting many people that you have tax problems. But they don't care! Their sole objective is to collect the taxes owed. Period.
As bad as that is, a worse method is a wage levy (or garnishment). That's when most of your pay check goes to the IRS, they don't leave you enough to pay the bills, and most of your check goes to the IRS each and every week until the debt is paid.
If that doesn't accomplish what they want, they'll pull out all the stops. They'll seize your assets, and sell them at auction. That includes everything you own; home, cars, boats, jewelry, motorcycles, insurance polices, retirement funds, anything of value.
We are often able to get those levies released and help you get out of this terrible situation. Our goal is to get you even with the IRS, with what you can afford, and let you start life anew.
