Some tips from a CEO who nearly lost his job. (Hint: crying helps.)
If you have a better opportunity, turning that down just to put in another year hardly seems appropriate. Just like the employer cares not for you if you are no longer profitable, if the job is not profitable to you move on.
Employees need to start taking back some of the power in the dynamic. I don't care what type of economy it is, a year or longer of your life is a long time and a huge opportunity cost (on salary, advancement, ect). If you don't get what you want, go get it wherever you can as fast as possible. The middle class jobs, and the people in them need to start getting paid, otherwise make the employer pay for not doing so.
"While you don't have a moral responsibility to stay (unless you signed a contract or had a separate verbal or written agreement with your supervisor), you will still want to leave on the best note possible."
Actually, that would be a "legal" responsibility. A person always has a "moral" responsibility to "do the right thing", regardless of the employer.
First- don't bring up 'I wish my job was more meaningful' discussion unless and until you have another one lined up.
Second, once you bring up the 'I would like to use my new-found skills to broaden my horizons by leaving', be preapred to leave because otherwise, in this fickle job market, you will be laid off sooner rather than later.
Third, in an 'at-will' employment situation, there are no obligations other than what's on the contract for either party, and your employer does only owe you your remaining paycheck (and may be accrued vacation time/money) – not your job, and not definitely a career.
In regards to the 'morality' of the situation, there's nothing unmoral about leaving for a better opportunity. Unless you're on a contract, you don't owe your employer anything. You've been receiving a paycheck for time worked, not for future work.
If your company got into trouble financially or was hit hard by another recession or whatever, they'd have no 'moral' issue with laying you off with little or no severance package and little or no notice.
I don't think talking about leaving a job is ever a good idea. It's a rejection of your boss and some may not take it well. They won't fire you now, but they'll look to get rid off you somewhere down the line. You can assume they are starting to look for your replacement as soon as you've had your conversation. It's always better to talk about how you want to "grow" within the company than giving ultimatums.
I just went through this same situation. Had put in time with my (now former) company, had lots of visibility and training, but felt like things were stagnant. Another opportunity came along with a big jump in responsibility and pay . . .
Do what you'll be able to look back on in 3/5/10 years and not regret. To me, not jumping at the new opportunity seemed like something I'd regret so I went for it. Didn't burn any bridges, gave my two weeks and turned over my position as well as anyone could, that's all you can do.
It is very important to keep an ethical responsibility. And you have to learn skill more.
I don't agree with the writer's main point, "for the sake of your résumé, stick around at least another year. " If you are miserable where you are and there isn't much room for growth at your current company, I would search for opportunities that would make your life more interesting (at the expense of making a piece of paper look better). If you get positive responses from potential employers they obviously don't care about the length of time spent at your current employer. This is your life you are managing. I wouldn't waste 1/78 th of it just to keep your boss happy or your resume looking clean.
Completely agree with John's point. Don't be miserable just trying to please some interviewers who don't have your utmost interest at heart. I would be the one who actively manages my own growth and career.
My daughter had a supervisor who was "eating her soul", and she wanted my advice. Since she has no dependents and is financially secure I counseled her to sit down with her boss and share her concerns with him. She did and was promptly let go; it took her nearly six months to find another job.
Now when she calls me we talk about the weather.

This extraordinary video looks back on the 3rd year of operation of NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. Since its launch in 2010, SDO's data and imagery have exceeded everyone's hopes and expectations, providing stunningly detailed views of the sun. The observatory has continued to return breathtaking pictures and movies of eruptive events on the sun. These images are more than just pretty. By highlighting different wavelengths of light, scientists can track how material on the sun moves. Such movement, in turn, holds clues as to what causes these giant explosions.
SDO is the first mission in a NASA's Living With a Star program, the goal of which is to develop the scientific understanding necessary to address those aspects of the sun-Earth system that directly affect our lives and society.

If your boss gives you a HUGE SMILE every time you pass each other in the hallway, it's NOT a good thing. A new study found that bosses give the biggest smiles to the people they view as LEAST POWERFUL. The researchers think it's because the smiles are condescending, like the boss is throwing a bone to a lower-status employee because the boss feels so much BETTER than them.

There is actually much proof that Yosef, Yeshua's father and brothers where Pharisee's and so was Y'shua, Paul and Peter. Peter is referred to as a Tzedek in Rabbinic or Pharisaic writing.
"There was a man whose name was Joseph, sprung from a family of Bethlehem, a town of Judah, and the city of King David. This same man, being well furnished with wisdom and learning, was made a priest in the temple of the Lord. He was, besides, skilful in his trade, which was that of a carpenter;" The History of Joseph the Carpenter 1:2
The concept of the priesthood of the believers is Pharisaic based on the Order of Melki-tzedek, the Essene's and Pharisee's believed in the Order of Melki-tzedek. Jacob (James) and Judah (Judea) where the first two heads of the Apostolic Community and where Pharisee's who came to believe Yeshua (their brother through another mother) was their Messiah. Joseph was a widower before marrying Mary. One could not become a priest if he wasn't born a Levite unless he joined the Pharisee's.
Joseph was 89 when he took Mary, Joseph had four sons from his previous marriage Jacob, Judah, Shimon and Justus, he also had two daughters. Mary took James as here own son. Yeshua was Mary's only son. Joseph had 6 previous children. Joseph was a Pharisee and a Priest (or Rabbi) in the Order of Melki-tzedek.
Yeshua said Yoseph was a righteous man who recognized Him (Yeshua) as Messiah before he died. Apparently his brothers believed Yeshua to be the Messiah of Israel. Yeshua had an interesting family and He always honored Yosef and Miriam.
Joseph died at 111 and was a priest under the Pharisee order and a Carpenter by trade like Paul was a Tallit maker by trade. The concepts of Rabbi and Synagogue (or by extension) are Pharisaic traditions.
There is much good in the Talmud. In Pirkei Avot and the Talmud Peter or Simon Kefa is referred to as Shimon ha'Tzedek. The Talmud is an accurate record of Second Temple Judaism as the early Apostolic Community split. It's not perfect but it's useful.
The Saducee's where the original Karaites. Yeshua called them the Hypocrites for they engaged in Greek culture, believer in a laity priest distinction, they put on masks and where white washed graves who sought to be seen.
Yeshua said do what the Pharisee's say and not do what they do. The New Testament is a Pharisaic document with Essene's undertones. I see dangers in the modern Karaite movement.
The modern Karaites are not connected to ancient Karaites. There are many reasons and proofs that the early "Church" were considered Pharisee's for good reason.
This is my position. Karaism is beneficial for some returning to Torah especially when Talmud is unfamiliar and complex. However Peter and James warn of the dangers of Saducee'n personal interpretations. I find Talmud, Pirke Avot, Midrash Rabbah, and the Targums to be beneficial. The concept of Logo's comes from the Aramaic word Mamre referenced in the Targums, this is what John 1 refers to. Josephus also refers to this.
There is a synthesis between Rabbinic thought and the Apostolic Faith, only through the Pharisee's where the Apostolic church able to engage as a Temple sect, Synagogue's and Rabbi's. The Saducee's would have not allowed Temple service since the Pharisee's where not Levites by birth.
If one kept purity laws, eat Kosher, etcetera they could become a Tzadik or Priest and could minister in the temple just not as a high priest. This is the difference between the priests of Tzadok or Saducee's and Pharisee's, Yochanan Yeshua's cousins father was a Pharisee became a son of David could not be a Levite but as a Pharisee he could minister in the temple.
It's better to start with accepted norms than to join fringe groups. Karaism has some benefit but I find it problematic if we don't want to be marginalized. There is to much Karaism, taking what people think are the Torah basics or minimums that at times fall into "Personal Interpretations" that Peter warned against. We are not to have private or personal interpretations.
The men of the Great Assembly wanted to find how Judaism wrong and what needed fixing. Daniel was a part of the early roots of the Great Assembly. He lived as a Tzedek praying the three prayer services of the Temple. They sought to establish Adonai original plan at Sinai Yeshua corrected and also endorsed the Pharisee's fix.
The Synagogues were instituted by the forerunners of the Pharisee's who took the laws for the priests and applied them for all Jews and thus all believers in the Jewish Messiah Yeshua. This revelation brought the revolution that caused Daniel to pray for the return to Israel. And Adonai responded to the Men of the Great Assemblies fix by restoring Israel bringing them out of captivity.
The glitche they found in the system were when Moses said you "are a royal nation, and holy Priesthood," and had said sanctify yourself a for tomorrow Adonai will come down to you, they responded saying no you go up. Moses grieved because Adonai wanted all to be prophets. Because of this Adonai gave the Priesthood and Tabernacle as a pattern for a physical and spiritual reality until the men of the Great Assembly sought to set up the original Covenant plan that Adonai gave to Moses. Yeshua, Peter, James, the writer of Hebrews (most likely Barnabas) and the Essene's saw this covenant reality and the need for a Suffering Tzadik, a priest after Melki-tzedek (a Pharisee) to fix the glitch. As Mashiach ben-Yoseph. Yeshua was truly Mashiach ben-Yoseph, physically by adoption and metaphorically.
Yeshua participated in and the Brit Chadasha fully endorsed the Pharisaic fix of the priesthood of the believers and the Order of Melki-tzdek which is what the Pharisee's sought to be. This is what Hebrews and Galatians refer to as the disposition in priesthood, or that which was given at Sinai that Yeshua came to fix. Messianics need to understand this reality to fix the glitch in their system so they can work right. Until then the Messianic Synagogues and Hebrew Roots Christians will always be at odds. This is the unifying factor.
The Synagogue system started in Babylonian captivity to Institute Adonai's original plan to establish all Israel as priests. This is the same goal of Apostolic Judaism. The eyes of many are veiled by dogma and blindness to this reality.
This was in practice for 500 years before Messiah it prepared the Israelites to Return to Israel from Captivity and ushered Messiah's first coming. It also brought many Gentile converts the same has begun today to prepare for Messiahs return.
Peter warns against "Personal interpretation." This is because Peter was a Pharisee who is recorded as a Tzadik. This movement was later developed by Marcion and Nicene Christianity.
Yeshua said do what they teach for they teach right just don't do what they do. Consider the implications of doing what the Pharisee's teach and what that means versus what the Saducee's taught.
Much of Christianity has taken on the way of the Saducee's becoming one with secular culture, putting on different masks as hypocrites, along with Murder and Sexuality immorality the sins that brought about the destruction of the Temple and the Saducee's. Too many go to 24 Hour Fitness (olympic bath houses), sporting events (gladiatorial coliseum, ufc, mma), and Theatre (entertainment), as well as the Laity-Clergy distinction. This is something that needs correction.
At Yeshua's time a Priest after the Order of Melki-tzedek was a Pharisee, the Essene's and Pharisee's believed that way. The Essene's left the temple because it was impure and created an ascetic community. The Pharisee's engaged in the temple but their goal was Synagogue's and teaching the priesthood of all who are of faith. This is why Kosher and Purity laws apply in Judaism because we are all priests and with no temple it applies to the Order of Melki-tzedek. There is no church without a Synagogue, and doing a Church or Synagogue validates the Pharisaic interpretation.
Daniel, and the three, went into the Fire and Lions Den and survived because they eat Kosher and prayer the Temple Prayer Services, meaning they where apart of the Great Assembly, attended Synagogue and believed the Priesthood of all who believe and this is why they were tested and saved from the Fire and Lions Den. Adonai responded to this and returned them to Eretz Israel. They were a part of the Great Assembly and their reforms brought about the Restoration of Israel.
The Temple was reinstituted and Pharisee's who were not Levites were able to participate in the temple. Because the priests after Tzadok, the Saducee's, we corrupt they hated others with no base, they murdered and where sexually immoral because the priesthood was sold and the high priesthood was for sale to the ruling Suzerain, or Roman kingdom. The Pharisee's sought to return the Helenized Jews to a pure priesthood.
Remember the High Priest who killed Yeshua was a Saducee not a Pharisee, most of Yeshua's teaching was an inter-Pharisee discussion, he was a Rabbi (and thus a Pharisee), went to the Synagogue (a Pharisee institution), and used Pharisaic teaching tools such as Mishalim (parables). Yeshua was bringing an endorsement and reform of Pharisaic Judaism that scared the Saducee's. The Essene's knew the temple was to be destroyed so the fled the city to Qumran. The Pharisee's knew but sought to aide in the transformation to the original covenant plant given at Sinai not the substitute. This is why Yeshua said the temple would be destroyed. Yeshua was killed by the Saducee'n High Priest because the reform's Yeshua brought to the Pharisee's undermined his political power and threatened the temple. It was Saducee's not Pharisee's who had Yeshua killed. More Pharisee's joined Yeshua, some didn't.
Yeshua came first to bring correction to the Pharisee's, to bring reform, but he also endorsed the Pharisee's over the Saducee's. The first two church leaders after Him where Josephs son James (Jacob) and Judea (Judah), who were a well known Pharisee family.
When the temple was destroyed the Saducee's ceased to exist, the early believers where a Sect of Pharisee's. They worked with the Pharisee's for the next few hundred years. The period of separation between 200 CE and 600 CE was a progressive advocacy away from the Rabbinic outlook.
Much of Yeshua's responses to Pharisee's asking who was right, the Essene's at Masada, the Saducee, or Pharisee's Hillel or Shamai. Mostly He mediated between Hillel and Shamai. This is the context of Yeshua's mission. He called Jews to Covenant Fidelity. Gentiles do not have the Covenants of Israel so they must be brought into the Covenants from the Jewish Messiah. Paul's message to Gentiles is not the message that Peter and James brought to the Jews. Trying to take the message to the Jews that's for the Gentiles is nonsensical.
A couple good books to read are My Jesus Year and the Year of Living Biblically which are good books, both by Jews one was a son of a Reformed Jew the other married a convert to Judaism. They spent a year trying to live the bible one tried Christianity and the other the whole bible including the New Testament. The point is they both said Jesus made us better Jews. And for Jew who have the covenant that is what Yeshua is here to do. For Gentiles with no Covenants we need the Jewish Messiah to come into the Covenant. Yeshua wants Jews to repent or return to Covenant faithfulness the message of guelah (redemption) us different for Jews and Gentiles. Paul's message is for Gentiles not Jews, you can not take the Gentile Message to the Jews. or give versa this is where we get confused. Cohen the author of My Jesus Year is now a part of Synagogue 3000 a group seeking to bring Christian reforms to Judaism.
There are also two separate books titled Messianic Judaism by two different authors who are Jewish, the first is by Dan Cohn-Sherbock and the other by Carroll Harris-Shapiro. These are studies of Messianic Judaism by practicing Jews. Dan says Messianic Judaism can become a Judaism and he suggests some changes. I suggest that would be some good reading and some things to consider.

Holiday Dysfunctional Throwdown
It's that time of year again for my husband and me to play "Who Has the Crazier Family?!"
Katie Wisdom Weinstein: I know this is nothing new for families. Perhaps because we do not pick our parents or siblings, we are safe to scream "CRAZY!" and do not have to own up to any of the blame. The "Extended-Family Circus" is alive and well.
My husband and I have parents who all remarried after the first go-round. This means more parents, siblings and grandparents to go around. Now, we also combat age, retirement, mortgages and money. Even on a good day, this is a recipe for disaster. Throw in a couple of stepfamily scenarios, a little paranoia, a few adult-kids who do not want to grow up and several old brewing frustrations, and you have the game!
It's a pretty even throwdown this year. We got right into December with a stack of crazy cards from both sides. What is it about the holidays? Do we really expect so much from our loved ones that we drive each other to Crazytown? We could call this game "D&D," for "Drama and Dysfunction." It IS a role-playing game, but not the fun kind. This is the kind where you revert to absurd behavior and childish ways when you are in the same room together.
Before you begin to think we are evil, toxic, ungrateful or thankless, please know that we love our families. They helped us to be the people we are today. We can have a really good time, even at the holidays, but there might be a lot of eye-rolling and deep breathing to get through. Our kids think it is all mildly amusing, because they don't own any of THIS family craziness. They are busy writing their own rules for the future game they will play with us!
There are plenty of the typical stepfamily scenarios in this family, and now that we are grown up, one would think we have matured. Oh, let me burst that bubble. The only difference might be that now we do not drag each other over the shag carpet for a good rug burn, or throw tennis balls at each other's heads. We have become more clever. To really master and continue the great dysfunction, we have evolved to "communication manipulation," like a bad game of telephone. Add an ability to drive our points home with a sharp dagger, and you have Christmas.
The holiday chaos is heightened with members of the family who are getting on in age. We all promise to not make our families crazy when we get older, but who are we kidding? With age might come wisdom, but in our family, it also comes with a dose of absurd accusations and childish acts of paranoia. The telephone becomes a tool of torture. Should I answer the ringing phone? Will it be a familiar voice on the other end of the line, saying, "Did you hear what so and so said to me the other day?"
As members of this large, crazy family, we cannot quit and we cannot be fired. We have to keep playing the Dysfunctional Family Throwdown game until the bitter end. We will make our usual New Year's resolution to be nice to our family and to avoid gossip and backstabbing. It works for three months or so, and then it is time for the spring holidays. Let the games continue!

We wernt far off this last season with harris in the team...
I think he's taken the Harris factor far too much into consideration. We that saw him all know that, taking the play-offs as a seperate issue, we did just as well in the League games without him, apart from the shocker against Toulouse after he went off injured. No, the player we missed most of all was Jamie Field, who was on the losing side only twice in the league:- Halifax at home and Barrow away. He didn't play either in the shock defeats at home to Dewsbury (NRC) and Whitehaven, which I believe was a major factor. He also didn't play in the defeat at Leigh the other week. Jamie and Matty Dale are the backbone of our pack and we rarely lose with them both in the side.
The return from injury of Jamie Field is better than any major signing, but Dave Woods won't know that!

This thing is between me and him. not me him and the little boy next door. or the woman with a millon cats next door. its me and him ONLY. if we need help to work it out we will go to some one we can trust. like mama. END OF STORY:)
So you want to k ow what happened to me?! Yeah I was betrayed by my so called best friend… Yup! See I needed advice to talk to someone so I asked the so called best friend for help I asked how I should a person go about talking to a mother person if I believe some one is going to be calling CPS on the mother person?!?! Now keep in mind this woman is one of the best mothers I have ever met but the person calli g does not believe so . So then some how that got turned in too I am the one calling CPS and I'm taking the child away to be put in my custody … Now what I did say was that I was going to fight like hell for custody for that kid cause I'll be damed if he grows up in a group home like I did at one point. So while I was tring to protect someone and figure out how to approach a subject that so called friend went and told that mother person I was calli g CPS so I could get custody of her child cause I believe she is a bad mother…. Yeah!! WTF!!!! So again I have absolutely no one to talk to…. I feel hurt lost sad and pissed off my entire mood is In other chaos. It's times like this I miss Brandon, Nicky, and Alissa …. But even if I could talk to there ghost I already know what they would say "their loss" hmmm so in this conclusion I would like to say Shelby and Nicole R. Are no longer my friends scause they stir up drama like my Grammy stirs her stew.
Remeber it was suposse to be just you and me tonight, well its 9:44pm and your not here…i cant really blame you they did "HELP" yea right… why cant you for once be yourself? why cant you say how you really feel? me I'm so sick of hiding, im sick and tired of being afraid you wont like me. I'm sick of being nice to people who are bitches behind my back…if you read all of my journals im sure you'd see the real me. christan why are you so nice to people who want to distroy you? i belive in forginving people I always have, but they first have to show they are worth forgiving and take ownership of what they did wrong. TOMORRO I CHANGE FOR ME, ITS A SLOW PROSESS BUT, IT WILL BE ME! My only hope is you dont hate it, cause i stand up for what i belive in. I stand aginst pot,and drinking and driveing, and i stand against people who only use people . i am were i am to day because of ME. i used no one. so dont let them use you, and dont you use them. when was the last time you stood up for something you belived in ?
did you know i'm terified of storms? yup always have been. for as long as i can remeber… but to get thru them i tell myself the earth and sky are haveing a disagreement.
looki get it being yourself is hard, most of the time you wanna "ACT" cool in front of your friends, but if you cant be true to them, how will you ever be true to yourself? or me?
If by some chance this thing ever gets published, promise me if your reading it your not going to be scared of who you are. if your a nerd, so what your smart dont let if go to your head, if you wanna be a writer then please send your stuff out there. and if you have a dad whom is a ass hole and always is promising you shit. remeber he had a dad once too that mostlikely did the same exact shit to hime, that makes them fathers not dads.
so weather it is to you friends, Fathers, Mothers, Or that random dude on the side walk stand up for what you want to , dont let people push you around. it might be scary. you might want to run but in the end, you will thank yourself for it.
ugh! I feel like shit! iI woke up with a bad headache,hit my friends hands with a cane and told the house bitch to fuck off….

Here are some of the latest health and medical news developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
Colorado Meat Company Expands Recall
A Colorado meat company is expanding a recall of meat and poultry products that were produced in unsanitary conditions that included rodent activity, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Monday.
The products in the expanded recall have the establishment number "Est. 20309" inside the USDA Mark of Inspection and include "Old Style Sausage" brand smoked Kielbasa sausage,
"Old Style Sausage" brand smoked andouille sausage and "Corner Post Meats" brand hams and bacon, the Associated Press reported.
All of the recalled products from Yauk's Specialty Meats in Windsor are in retail-ready packages of various sizes and were produced between April 1, 2013 and Dec. 5, 2013. They were sold in Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.
No illnesses have been reported and the USDA's investigation is continuing, the AP said.
Companies Ordered to Pay for Lead Paint Cleanup in California Homes
Three current or former paint manufacturers and distributors have been ordered to pay $1.1 billion into a fund to remove lead paint-related hazards from hundreds of thousands of California homes.
The ruling by a California Superior Court judge in San Jose against Sherwin Williams. Co., NL Industries Inc. and ConAgra Grocery Products Co. came in a 13-year-old lawsuit filed by 10 city and county governors in California, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The three companies have 15 days to file objections to the decision and said they plan to appeal the ruling unless the judge declares a mistrial or agrees to hold a new trial. The judge dismissed two other defendants in the lawsuit, DuPont Co. and Atlantic-Richfield Co.
The ruling also ordered the creation of a fund to remove lead paint hazards from homes. The fund would be administered by California's existing state Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch program, WSJ reported.
While not requiring the removal of all lead paint from homes, the cleanup plan does order that lead be removed from areas where friction may release lead dust, such as window frames and doors.
The ruling will have a "tremendous impact on the health and welfare of the children of California," said Nancy Fineman, a lawyer representing local governments who filed the suit, WSJ reported.
Doctors Keep Man's Severed Hand Alive by Attaching it to Ankle
A man's severed hand was saved by grafting it to his ankle, Chinese doctors say.
It wasn't possible to reattach Xiao Wei's right hand to his arm immediately after he lost the hand in a work accident. Instead, doctors kept the hand alive by stitching it onto Wei's left ankle and using arteries in the leg to supply the hand with blood, BBC News reported.
A month later, the hand was removed from the ankle and reattached to the arm. Wei will have to undergo several more operations but doctors say they're hopeful that he will regain full function of his hand.
"His injury was severe. Besides ripping injuries, his arm was also flattened," the surgeons said, BBC News reported. "We had to clear and treat his injuries before taking on the hand reattachment surgery."
High Rate of Autism Among Somali Children In Minneapolis: Study
Children in the Somali community in Minneapolis do have a higher rate of a disabling form of autism than other children in the city, a new study confirms.
It found that about one Somali child in 32 had autism, compared with one in 36 for whites, one in 62 for blacks and one in 80 for Hispanics. The national average is one child in 88, The New York Times reported.
The researchers also discovered that Somali children with autism were less likely than whites with autism to be "high-functioning" and more likely to have IQs below 70. The average IQ is 100, The New York Times reported.
No explanation for the findings was offered in the study by the University of Minnesota, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the research and advocacy group Autism Speaks, The Times reported.

It was 1997.

I had set my sights on being ranked #1 in Canada for my age group in the 200 butterfly that year.

Lian Li's New TYR PC-X2000F HTPC/Gaming Chassis
Inspired by the 2008 release, the upgraded TYR builds on the line's success
11 May 2010, Keelung, Taiwan – Lian Li Industrial Co. Ltd. announces the TYR PC-X2000F chassis. The TYR line is designed to stand out in your living room in unmistakable Lian Li style. Taking the original concept of low profile and slim designs and turning it completely around; there is no need to hide TYR line cases with their sleek Anodized Aluminum Finishes, giving them the resemblance of multimedia speakers. The new TYR PC-X2000F is set to build on the line's success and become the most unique HTPC/gaming chassis on the market today. Allowing unprecedentedly high performance components to be encompassed into the home theater environment without compromising looks or appeal, the new TYR PC-X2000F is definitely worthy of the Lian Li label.
Driving Design
The stylish and unique side panels accept four 5.25" Optical Device Drives (ODD) and one 3.5" drive with tool-less, sliding mounts that can be placed on either the left or right side, while the front face is for ergonomics and airflow. Unlike Lian Li's previously released TYR PC-X2000 that had only two 5.25" ODDs, the new TYR PC-X2000F splits the HDD bays between the upper and lower thermal zones for more efficient cooling. Furthermore, the TYR PC-X2000F's tool-less HDD mounting racks support seven SAS hot swappable HDDs, another increase over the X2000. The spacious interior can accommodate virtually any system you can think of.
Lian Li is well known for craftsmanship and quality, and the TYR PC-X2000F is no exception. Showcasing Lian Li's superior styling, first seen with the X2000, the brand new TYR PC-X2000F does not disappoint with an all black anodized interior, an easily removable front panel which covers three 140mm silent intake fans, protected by a removable and washable nylon dust filter. The Fan Speed Control switch is conveniently placed on the back panel of the chassis. The TYR PC-X2000F boasts four USB 3.0 ports mounted on the top of the chassis alongside one multimedia port for e-SATA and HD audio.
Wanting to give users every convenience, Lian Li designed the TYR PC-X2000F with increased space behind the motherboard for cable management, compared to the previously released X2000, to give the interior a clean and orderly appearance. Other traditional Lian Li innovations have been improved upon as well, including the tool-less features introduced by Lian Li this year.
Increased Innovation
Lian Li's TYR PC-X2000F requires just a few quick snaps to install key components. The design features tool-less motherboard installation, and eight tool-less PCI card holders with rubber pads to hold the graphics cards firmly in place. Additionally, the PSU is now located above a vent on the bottom panel, for added cooling, and is also a tool-less installation. The vent is protected by a removable and washable nylon dust filter.
More features include support for Extended ATX, ATX, and Micro-ATX motherboards, water cooling support, 140mm silent exhaust fans for the motherboard heat zone, 140mm exhaust fans for the HDD bay heat zone and further support for the PSU with anti-vibration and insulated rubber strips on the mounting platforms.
The case was designed with silence in mind, so specialized sound insulation material combined with the 2mm thick aluminum alloy side panels keep your system whisper quiet. Taking things to the extreme in comfort and convenience, Lian Li mounts the case on rubber pads to minimize any vibrations that could add to noise. Additional touches include vented PCI brackets which add to through flow of air and prevent heat buildup.
Traditional Durability
The essence of Lian Li products is the craftsmanship of the engineering. Intrinsic to the workmanship and quality of Lian Li's products is their customization capabilities, which include a whole host of optional extras that can be added to an already feature rich product.
For more details on features and extras available for the TYR PC-X2000F, please go to the Lian Li website: www.Lian-Li.com
It really is awesome, but not $539.00 worth of awesome. Not to someone living in the real world economy. $539.00 is a stupid buy at best.
I suppose that there will be plenty of people out there who will jump at owning one of these things and I wish them well,.....really, I do.
Please remember that there are many cases out there that function just as well for a lot less money. All you have to do is look around a little. For those of you who don't CARE about the money, save it anyways, and then donate the extra to a good cause like world hunger or relief efforts in Haiti.
Those are some very well made points realneil. I mean come on if your going to be gargantuan anyways why not go HAF 932/922. The Thermaltake cases are also very nice, very functional, and very much cheaper than this one as well as many Lian Li cases. I have through the years always heard a lot about there cases, but never really seen the point in spending that much for a case.
I love nice cases, but if you spend a little time looking you can get the same or better for way less. I learned a lot when I build my third PC, the case was windowed, and made from aluminum completely. It is actually the same one used as a Xaser, but without all the bells and whistles (as well as pretty paint) on one. You can add the same fans etc at your discretion, or budget if you want.
The real kicker here is I payed about 50 bucks for it, when at the time a XASER case was one of the real high end ones, and if I remember right cost about 400 dollars. I of course paid a 10th of the price, and bought it from the cases real manufacturer, not it's secondary distributor, at a considerable discount.
I actually still use the case it now houses Sarah's computer, and still works great. It has also housed 4 of my own builds all together even though I have had other cases. I would always go back to my windowed full aluminum tower.

Professions in this expansion (actually game in general) have been extremely imbalanced. I've skill almost all of them to 450 now, and I'd honestly rate Engineering as the easiest so far (yes engineering - that wasn't the case previously) followed by jewelcrafting (its far from perfect - the whole token thing is borked) and blacksmithing. Leatherworking, Enchanting I think tie for being a complete pain in the arse. I haven't skilled alchemy or tailoring yet - but I suspect it will be cake like it always has been.
Its like they had 20 monkey's working on every profession individually and not working together at all in any way.

Why would NA$CAR insist in limiting the amount of coolind duct work that the teams are allowed to use?
If in fact, set up is responsable for excess heat. Better cooling would have to help. But NO. I just don't get it.

This tire problem may not have been Goodyear's fault
By admin | October 19, 2008
By Richard Allen
The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company has taken plenty of criticism this year, with much of that criticism being fairly placed. Drivers, crew chiefs, fans, media and even NASCAR have blamed the corporate giant for failures at various tracks throughout the season.
In Martinsville, there were numerous tire issues. This time, however, it does not appear as though the Akron, Ohio company was wholly, if even partially, to blame.
As a race plays out I keep notes on an old fashioned notepad. The Tums QuickPak 500 notes had the words blown right front tire scribbled in several times. Unlike races in Indianapolis or Atlanta, the tire problems did not seem widespread throughout the entire field. Certain teams seemed to experience problems while others did not.
The Joe Gibbs Racing teams of Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch experienced failure after failure while their teammate, Denny Hamlin, drove to a solid 5th place finish.
The entire Penske Racing South team had trouble with tires at one time or another. Driver Kurt Busch became so frustrated that he even asked if he could park his Dodge.
Other select teams suffered the same problems time after time.
The fact that the tire troubles were limited would seem to indicate the problem was with the set up of those particular cars. Perhaps the camber of the front wheels was not set right. The drivers may have been abusing their brakes, and thus, generating heat the tires could not withstand. Or, the teams may not have allowed for enough air to have been blown on the brakes, which created the heat condition.
Whatever the case, it appears as though Goodyear will not have to shoulder all of the blame this time. While they never want tire failures for any reason, the tire maker must have at least been relieved to not have found themselves the recipient of all the blame.

Comments about FootJoy Contour Golf Shoes BOA White/ Brown/Taupe:
I live in the north (snow country) but did get to the Atlanta, GA area to play one round after purchase. Put on the shoes, which felt funny for one minute, and then played 18 holes totally forgetting I had brand new shoes on. Also, they were shipped and arrived to me much more quickly than I expected; and, they arrived in a box that was sealed in waterproof plastic so well that, even using a knife, it took me over a minute to get the thick plastic wrap off so I could get into the box for my shoes. Excellent service!

"The name 'Seraphim' does not come from charity only, but from the excess of charity, expressed by the word ardor or fire. Hence Dionysius (Coel. Hier. vii) expounds the name 'Seraphim' according to the properties of fire, containing an excess of heat. Now in fire we may consider three things. "First, the movement which is upwards and continuous. This signifies that they are borne inflexibly towards God. "Secondly, the active force which is 'heat,' which is not found in fire simply, but exists with a certain sharpness, as being of most penetrating action, and reaching even to the smallest things, and as it were, with superabundant fervor; whereby is signified the action of these angels, exercised powerfully upon those who are subject to them, rousing them to a like fervor, and cleansing them wholly by their heat. "Thirdly we consider in fire the quality of clarity, or brightness; which signifies that these angels have in themselves an inextinguishable light, and that they also perfectly enlighten others."

Structure and Frictional Properties of Colloid Gel
Received: 23 December 2013; in revised form: 17 February 2014 / Accepted: 27 February 2014 / Published: 6 March 2014

Abstract: Polymer gels are known to be opaque when the preparation conditions, such as the reaction temperature and the composition, are changed. The increase of the opaqueness of the gel suggests strongly the change of network structure. Here, we are going to review the recent studies on the structure and the frictional study of the opaque poly(acrylamide) gel. The results indicate that the opaque poly(acrylamide) gel consists of the fractal aggregate of the colloidal particles of sub-micrometer in size. The density of the colloid particle is calculated from the structural parameters and is found to be of the order of about 1 g/cm3. The results indicate that the main chain component and the cross-linker is densely cross-linked into the particle. The frictional property of poly(acrylamide) gel is analyzed in terms of the structural parameters of the gel. It is found that the frictional property of the opaque gel is well explained in terms of the structural parameters of the opaque gel.
Keywords: poly(acrylamide) gel; confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM); friction coefficient between the solvent and the polymer network of a gel; colloid gel; diffusion limited aggregation (DLA); cluster-cluster aggregation (CCA)

From NewsBusters
The Occupy Wall Street movement was first proposed by the leftwing Canadian magazine, Adbusters. However, now even they are forced to admit the obvious about the failure of their creation which you can read in their sad OWS obituary:
Burned out, out of money, out of ideas… seduced by salaries, comfy offices, book deals, old lefty cash and minor celebrity status, some of the most prominent early heroes of our leaderless uprising are losing the edge that catalyzed last year's one thousand encampments. Bit by bit, Occupy's first generation is succumbing to an insidious institutionalization and ossification that could be fatal to our young spiritual insurrection unless we leap over it right now. Putting our movement back on track will take nothing short of a revolution within Occupy.
Your humble correspondent begs your pardon for this comparison but does the preceding Adbusters quote not sound eerily similar to this declaration by Bela Lugosi as Dr. Eric Vornoff in that epic film, Bride of the Monster?
Home? I have no home. Hunted, despised, Living like an animal! The jungle is my home. But I will show the world that I can be its master! I will perfect my own race of people. A race of atomic supermen which will conquer the world! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
And what is the Adbusters version of "a race of atomic supermen which will conquer the world?" An equally unrealistic solution as called "flash encampments" as Adbusters explains:
The next big bang to capture the world's imagination could come not from a thousand encampments but from a hundred thousand ephemeral jams… a global cascade of flash encampments may well be what this hot Summer will look like.
And here is their "glowing example" of a flash encampment:
…The new tone was set on Earth Day, April 22, in a suburb bordering Berkeley, California when a dozen occupiers quietly marched a small crowd to a tract of endangered urban agricultural land, cut through the locked fence and set up tents, kitchens and a people's assembly. Acting autonomously under the banner of Occupy, without waiting for approval from any preexisting General Assembly, Occupy The Farm was notable for its sophisticated preplanning and careful execution — they even brought chickens — that offered a positive vision for the future and engendered broad community support. While encampments across the world were unable to re-establish themselves on May Day, this small cadre of farm occupiers boldly maintained their inspiring occupation for nearly four weeks.

100 day trips from Baltimore [Pictures]
We know gas prices aren't what they used to be, but summer calls out for that all-time family favorite: the road trip. Here are 100 places to visit, including many that won't put too much stress on the fuel gauge.

Cacapon Resort State Park, W. Va.( West Virginia Dept. of Tourism Photo / July 28, 2012 )
Distance from Baltimore: 117 miles, about a two-and-a-half-hour drive
Why it's worth the gas: A championship-caliber golf course, cabins for rent, a lake for swimming in the summer, hiking, pinball machines and video games in the lodge, horseback riding -- this forested oasis, within easy driving distance of both Baltimore and Washington, is the perfect place for amped-up city dwellers to get away from it all and recharge their batteries. The park was established through the hard work of Civilian Conservation Corps workers in the 1930s, who reclaimed land that had been used for truck farms and built the cabins and other structures that make the park feel both isolated and welcoming.
Don't miss: The drive to the top of Cacapon Mountain. The road's a little rough, but the views are fantastic.

Members from all over the community gathered together yesterday morning to listen in as MSJC President Roger Schultz gave his State of the College address. Beginning the meeting with introductions around the room, Schultz moved into presenting the demographics for the college. As MSJC has been ranked the #1 college in the Inland Empire for three years in a row, it is only expected that several success stories, about students and faculty alike, were shared.
To read about a few of these standout citizens, please visit the "Faces" page on the college website here. President Schultz highly encourages this section of the website because it proves that the "demographics and numbers are more than just statistics, these stories makes them real."
With record enrollment numbers in the past few years, MSJC is flourishing more than ever. Several new building are planned to go up as the 15 year old Menifee campus gets a full blown makeover expected to be completed by 2050. The Humanities building, currently under construction, is the first step in this renovation plan and is expected to be revealed this coming fall.
|Blueprint plans for what is expected for the Menifee MSJC campus come 2050.
Having faced over $9 million in budget cuts since 2008, MSJC is forced to raise tuition prices to $46 per unit beginning this summer. However, with the vast number of students enrolled, the majority of graduates will stay in the area after completing their programs, therefore serving as an economic benefit to the local community.
As the MSJC district prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary in the 2012-2013 school year, Schultz admits that he expects the campus to continue heading in a positive direction."MSJC is flourishing now, and I have high hopes that it will continue to do so as we move into the future."
|Pictured left to right are Sonja Prince, Mrs. Menifee Valley Chamber; Dr. Roger Schultz, Superintendent/President Mt. San Jacinto College; Dorothy Wolons, Menifee Chamber's CEO and JoAnna Quejada, MSJC's Dean of Student Development.

Joining Weathervane along with East Hundred this month is {{{SUNSET}}}, the recording project and band of prolific singer-songwriter Bill Baird. Hailing from Austin, TX, Baird first came into the spotlight as a founding member of Sound Team, the once on-the-verge group signed to Capitol Records and opening for the Arcade Fire. But when 2006 saw the band going their separate ways, Baird switched his focus to the solo work he'd been pursuing on the side. After self-releasing {{{ SUNSET }}} and its instrumental companion, Silence!, in December '06 - and with the help of some friends - his once-side project began to take shape as a new band, taking its name from his early LP.
Releasing two albums in 2008 (Bright Blue Dream and The Glowing City), the project has gradually earned a reputation for its beautifully crafted lo-fi tracks, its ambitious dance between genres and styles, and its transcendence of earthly perspective. Praised as modern psychedelia at its finest, somewhere at the crossroads of "melodic pop bliss and twisted backwoods folk" (Exclaim Canada), Baird's recent work is the kind which stops you in your tracks, blindfolds you, spins you around, turns you inside out and then strips the blindfold away to reveal a new world around you. Or rather, the same world, except now you're seeing it through a prism of sound and light in which nothing looks quite the same. Baird's DIY ethics and stripped down take on modern life make for a refreshingly clean feel, the kind of music which longs for headphone listening and live performance and leaves you feeling a little closer to the ground by the time you're done - in the best way possible.
It comes as no surprise, then, that Baird describes {{{SUNSET}}} as a project "still very much in its formative stages, [which] will probably remain that way for the duration of the project." The dynamic nature of his approach to songwriting leads to an always-evolving sound, one constantly reaching for its true shape yet never settling in one form. 2009 sees the limited release of Loveshines II, the band's 7" single featuring the title track - two live band performances stacked to create one layered recording - and "I'm Not a Perfect Person (Looks Like I Fucked Up Again)," a stripped down, Baird-only track. The release has caught the attention of many in the blogosphere who hail the work as genius, original, and bizarre, and has turned many watchful eyes towards Austin to see what's coming next.
And we're so excited to welcome {{{SUNSET}}} to the studio this week! They'll be recording their Weathervane Project with producer Quentin Stoltzfus (Mazarin, Flashy Python, Blood Feathers, Apollo Sunshine). Look for its release in June!

Children's Health
Fever, Age 3 and Younger - Home Treatment
It can be hard to know whether you should call your doctor when your child has a fever, especially during the cold and flu season. The degree of the fever may not be related to the seriousness of the illness. The way your child looks and acts is a better guide than the thermometer. Most children will be less active when they have a fever.
If your child is comfortable and alert, is eating well, is drinking enough fluids, is urinating normal amounts, and seems to be improving, home treatment without medicine is all that is needed for a fever. Dress your child lightly, and do not wrap him or her in blankets. Dressing lightly will help your child's body cool down.
Try these home treatment measures to make sure your child is drinking enough fluids and does not get dehydrated while he or she has a fever.
Newborns and babies younger than 1 year of age
Don't wait until dehydration develops to replace lost fluids. Offer fluids to your baby often.
- If you breast-feed your baby, nurse him or her more often.
- If you use a bottle to feed your baby, the amount of fluid you normally use in the formula should be enough to replace lost fluids. Check with your child's doctor if you think you need to feed your baby more often.
- Use an oral rehydration solution (ORS) if mild or moderate dehydration develops. The amount of ORS your baby needs depends on his or her weight and how dehydrated he or she is. You can give the ORS in a dropper, spoon, or bottle.
- If your baby has started eating cereal, you may replace lost fluids with cereal. You also may feed your baby strained bananas and mashed potatoes if your child has had these foods before.
Children ages 1 through 11
- Make sure your child is drinking often. Frequent, small amounts work best.
- For children with dehydration, an oral rehydration solution (ORS) or plain water (if the child is eating food) may be used to replace lost fluids.
- Allow your child to drink as much fluid as he or she wants. Encourage your child to drink extra fluids or suck on flavored ice pops, such as Popsicles. Children ages 4 to 10 should drink at least 6 to 10 glasses of liquids to replace lost fluids.
- Cereal mixed with milk or water may also be used to replace lost fluids.

Aroung here things are ramping up to a formidible buzz, well on their way to a fever pitch.
The book is being printed, videos are being recorded(for the DVD insert that will come with each book of course), promotion plans are being cemented up, and we are all preparing for the big release in June.
We've shared bit and peices and sometimes full drafts of the book with trusted friends and respected colleques, each one of them telling us to expect this book to be a runaway smash.
Still, we wanted to extend our 'inner circle', and meet a few more mareting and selling pioneers.
So right now Bryan and Jeffrey Eisenberg are banging out a new series of PPT files. They are creating a one time presentation, an abbreviated and super fiery special edition of their Wizards Of Web Seminar( you know the one that is usually sold-out months in advance).
Here is the situation. There is a limited number of seats available for this one time only event to be held at on the new Campus of Wizard Academy in Austin, TX on May 9-10. The cost is $1800 per person. (The 3 day course costs $3000, so that is a significant savings)
Not only will you get a cranium full of potent mojo to help you start thinking about Persuasion Architecture and what it could mean to your business online and off, you will also get a new preview copy of the book signed by the authors. We'll also give you 100 copies of the book when released to indoctrinate your friends, family and cats.
Basically you are buying 100 books and getting the seminar virtually free. Sweet offer, huh?
We can put your name on one of those limited seats, but get it booked now, the seats never seem to last long.
By the looks of it and the way the seminar is setup, I assume Wizard Academy graduates do not receive the typical half price discount when speaking of this seminar.

Laptop gave is the power of portability but still we are very much dependent on laptop battery life when travelling. I'm a Dell Inspiron user and they offer 6 cell battery, which is good enough for 3 hour of working, but since I use my laptop almost 18 hr. a day and I hardly turn it off once in a week, my battery dies soon. Most of the time, my laptop battery drained out within 45 minutes and I have to recharge it. I bought another 9 cell battery and it helped initially but like older one, it also started draining out really fast.
I researched about the same and realize it's my mistake as I'm not taking good care of my laptop battery life and I have to take care of few things which will help me to increase laptop battery life. A little additional care can help you increase your laptop battery capacity and also its life span. Today I list here ten healthy practices that may help you achieve optimum performance from your battery.
Simple tips to Improve Laptop battery life for better performance:
I'm sure what all tips I'm going to mention here, you might be aware of many of these but you hardly use them. The interesting thing here is, you can also use these tips for your mobile or any other gadget which runs on rechargeable batteries.
1. Disable Wi-fi + bluetooth
If you are travelling or working in a condition when you make most out of your laptop battery life, make sure to disable Wi-fi and Bluetooth. We all know how wireless activities drain our device's battery. They consume significant power even when not in use but left ON. So when on battery power, it's advisable to turn off wi-fi and bluetooth services. Mobile phone user should disable location services too.
Specially, on my iPhone when ever I travel and I don't need to use data connection, I disabled all these services and I can notice a significant improvement in battery life.
2. Dimming the screen
We should reduce the screen brightness to the lowest comfortable level in order to gain some extra battery life. You can make changes in your power settings to dim the brightness when your laptop is not running on power.
3. Peripherals
USB devices and other external peripherals should be shut and removed if not in use. For instance, charging an iPod while on battery, unless very essential, is a bad idea. The same goes for removing any CD or DVD when not in use.
Try not to use any extra USB device when running on battery, as USB device use your laptop power to work. If you are using mouse, for improved laptop battery life, use trackpad.
4. Extra RAM
Whenever our system runs out of RAM memory it uses virtual memory resulting in hard disk use, which is relatively a less efficient option in terms of power consumption. However, it goes without saying that additional ram does consume energy too so this advice suits best those users who often find themselves in need of extensive virtual memory.
5. Background Apps
It's a good idea to shut down background programs to reduce CPU usage, say for instance desktop search applications. You can go to task manager and check what all applications are running and those who are not so important, you can kill them.
I also suggest you to configure your startup item by typing "msconfig" in run or by using CCcleaner software. Disable, all those process which are not very important like Google talk, Googleupdate.exe, iTunes and many more.
6. Energy-saver options
Optimize your power options to get maximum battery juice. The notebook should try to shut down the hard disk and put the display to sleep whenever idle.
7. Battery Cycle
One of the best tip to increase laptop battery is by properly charging and discharging it at regular interval. For a healthy lithium based battery, its advisable to keep the electrons in motion occasionally. It's not absolutely healthy to keep it plugged in all the time. Ideally, one should let it discharge fully at least once a month to keep the battery juice flowing.
Also, if you are one of those like me who can connect to A.C power source all the time, it's better to remove the battery and use direct A.C power source.
8. No multitasking
When on battery power, say in a flight, use one application at a time. Ideally shut the email app once you're done with it and then turn on the word processor.
9. Defrag frequently
A defragmented disk puts lesser strain on the battery and hard disk, so make your disk drive as efficient as you can by performing defragmentation regularly, say once every month.
There are software's which you can use to quickly and more effectively defragment your disk or Windows has an inbuilt tool to perform defragmentation.
10. Hibernate
Hibernating is a healthier option compared to standby when running on battery. Hibernating retains your system state as you last left it. So it's more energy efficient than even shutting down the computer and booting it all over again. More over, I find this feature handy when you are travelling and don't want to lose your open tabs and work.
Bonus tip:
Also disable other power consuming resources like Keyboard back-light, audio service (Speakers), and make sure you keeping your laptop in a moderate temperature environment. You should avoid over heating of your laptop as it degrades the performance of laptop battery.
These are few tips which I can recollect as if now, which helped me to improve laptop battery life, and I will keep extending the list if I came across any new tip. I'm also considering buying those portable external laptop chargers, which helps in charging your battery while travelling. Also, many dell laptop comes with an option in battery option, to disable charging and you can use it too to Increase Laptop battery life
