Arid Aid
Many air compressors are fed turbocharged air right out of the intake manifold. This air has been slightly compressed by the turbo and has gone through the charge air cooler, so this makes the compressor more powerful and efficient. Because of air compressor turbocharging, the purge valve has another function. It incorporates a turbo cutoff piston that closes off the supply port through which air normally flows from the compressor into the dryer. This keeps this air from escaping through the dryer and out the exhaust port while the compressor is off. It also eliminates the chugging sound that would come out of the exhaust port even with normally aspirated compressors when the compressor is off.
Listen Carefully
Listening for a regular purge cycle can alert you to air dryer problems, says Canale. If the purge cycle occurs too frequently, "that noise may be a symptom of another problem. Do deeper troubleshooting," says Kern.
Air system leaks, including leaks within the dryer itself, can cause the compressor to cycle more frequently. Leakage causes the unit to come on after less off time and stay on longer. If the leak is big enough, it will stay on all the time. In this case, says Kern, "Figure out where the leak is. It could be in the dryer or anywhere in the system."
To find the leak, run the engine to charge the system to the point where the governor cuts out. Then listen to the purge of air from the dryer. There will be "a significant initial blast," indicating that the dryer is purging freely, Canale says. Listen, but don't feel for this because you could get injured by debris. But once the blast slows down, put your hand under the exhaust port. You should feel a slight flow for 15-30 seconds, after which it will shut off. If flow continues, the most likely cause is a failed turbo cutoff valve, assuming the air compressor is turbocharged. You can quickly determine you have this type system by tracing the inlet line to the air compressor. If it comes from the engine intake manifold, you have a turbocharged compressor. If it comes from upstream of the turbocharger (for example between the air cleaner and the turbocharger), and the turbo valve has failed, you'll hear a chugging noise. In a few cases, leakage during the off cycle can result from a failed check valve on the dryer discharge line leading to the brake system.
Next have someone dump system pressure by fanning the brakes. Soon you'll hear the compressor cut in. After the system charges back up to nearly the cutoff pressure, shut the engine off. Now feel for air escaping from the purge valve's exhaust port. If there is leakage from the port, the problem is a failed purge valve. Leakage elsewhere in the brake system, for example in tank drain valve O-rings, will tax the compressor and dryer and should be fixed. Leaks can be located by coating every connection with soapy water, which will bubble from the leak.
Another common cause of too-frequent purge cycles is a failing air compressor governor or "unloader" as it's sometimes called. Kern explains that it's supposed to cycle the compressor off and send a signal to the dryer to exhaust at 120 psi. After that, the brake system uses the air in the tanks till the pressure has dropped to 90 psi. Then it cuts back in. The governor "is a likely item to fail, but low cost. It can begin to send the signal too often as it wears, causing frequent cycling." Even though the air gauge on the dash is normally connected to the secondary air storage tank, and the governor to the primary one, you will likely notice the indication moving up and down less if this is the trouble.

I think this is my first post here. Anyway, hi everyone - you can call me Linda. I'm a senior in HS right now and taking my first Graphic Design class. I've been getting near perfect grades for all of our assignments so far, but honestly I'm not too satisfied with the work I've produced. I'm hoping to get some critiques on this stuff and tips to help me in the right direction.
If anyone knows of any other communities I can join to get additional guidance, I'll gladly appreciate it!
Hello Linda,
Nice to meet you
I am also completing my studies in Graphic Design at the moment. One month to go!
Anyway, I do like these. The balloon and the present are ingenious in their use of text to form the shape of the subject. I like that.
And I especially like the Cheaters emblem for some reason. It just looks cool and gets the message across.
You can check out this site for feedback this kind of stuff, if you haven't already:
I'm surprised no ones commented on this yet, maybe its of no concern or was intentional, but in the balloon design ( very catchy btw ) you've got "head" spelt wrong.
One online community I am actively involved in everyday is Abduzeedo. Really awesome inspiration/tutorials/free stuff/etc.
There are many others, but those are good start.
Music washes from the soul the dust of everyday life.
@scarn... I wasn't sure if that was intentional or not. I hope it is or mad lullz.
Hah yes Scarn, it was intentional. Thanks Stylor and ConstableMurtis for the links! The GD forum and Abduzeedo are great. I'm going to check out Fudge Graphics now.

You live, sleep, study and hang out with friends all in one place — your room! And with so much going on, it can get messy and mixed up quick — especially if you share your room with a sister, brother or roommate. What you need is a simple system that keeps your different zones separated — an extra wall or two to mark each space within your place.
The Ingredients
Here are some things you might need:
- a sturdy, steel-wire cable system
- a measuring tape
- mounting posts, clips or clothespins that slide
- several pieces of fabric or curtains
- a little vision
Divide & Conquer
Before you start, decide how you want to divide your room. Plot out a clear map of your current space and then draw up how you would like it to look.
:: creative cheat sheet ::
- Section off your sleep zone from the rest of the room.
- Divide your room in half — one side for sis or bro, one side for you. You can even install a curtain that pulls closed for privacy and opens up when you're ready to hang out together.
- Create a private lounge area for reading or studying complete with a curtain to keep distractions out and comfy seating to keep the lounge vibe in.
- Set up a private dressing area near your closet or create an additional closet complete with shelves and wall racks for extra storage.
Measure Up
You'll need a measuring tape to determine how much wire and fabric you'll need and how much space will be allotted to each zone, especially if siblings are involved. If your room isn't a perfect square, the two of you may need to work out a space system that feels equal.
Hang in There
Once you've measured out the space you'll need for each zone, it's time to start separating.The best and easiest way to put up a makeshift wall is with wire and fabric. Our Cable System works great and is easy to use because it doesn't require professional installation. Just follow the instructions that come with each kit, mount the posts to the walls where you'll need them and stretch the cable between them to create a zone for sleeping, studying or lounging. Curtains can also be attached with sliding clips so you can open or close them whenever you need to.
Ready for a Change?
Over the next few months, you might find that you need more space for studying and less for storage, you no longer need to share a room, or you're just ready for a change. Using a cable system makes for an easy and clean transition — whether you want to rearrange your zones or just want to switch out your curtains. For instance, you can quickly rezone your entire room by moving the posts. Or improve your view by swapping out curtains and fabrics as often as you want to match the season or your latest bedding.


text: So I've been doing a moderate cut, and I can see abs (yay!) underneath the fat, but they don't have a lot of definition so I want to throw in some HIIT to try and get them out before the summer. What's a simple HIIT routine that I can do with say a treadmill, or a bike, or a stairmaster (the main cardio machines we have in our gym). Also, does it matter if I do it on lifting days? I'm using BGB.

We are so far from a decision, it's not even funny. It's fun to read the names you guys have picked though!
I'm surprised more people aren't giving the holidays a nod with the names. We actually love the name Summer, but it's not really in contention because it seems a bit ridiculous given the dead of winter birthdate.
Mama to two girls, born 5/08 and 11/10.
my daughter is summer emerson, born in spring but named for my favorite season, and my favorite spiritual philosopher who saw god in nature and the seasons.
Thanks!!! You know what's strange...I NEVER thought of the fact that BOTH of those names were actors in those films and trust me, DH and I are nerds right there with you when it comes to LOTR. Too funny! We do love Elijah...DH's middle name is Elias so real close. I think we're going to save that name though...
This whole thread got me thinking more of the names and I think we've decided....
Girl: Noel Sage
Boy: Viggo Wolf
There!! It has been decided!!

I absolutely get it, Crow. I guess I see this as a step back toward WotLK, where the game tried to be everything for everyone and left many, many people disappointed. Raiders thought the game was a push-over, casuals thought the game was still too hard, and RPers....well I don't know what they did. Maybe they liked the expansion.
Seven new raid bosses that we can kill once per week. That's what we raiders got in 4.2. I'll even count Occuthar and grant you 8. I recall a time when a new raid had 10 or 12 bosses, minimum. Meanwhile, the casual player gets 11 new 5-man bosses they can kill as often as they please, a quest hub, and pretty decent gear so they can attempt Firelands. Between the JP gear, 353s from ZA/ZG, and MF gear, one can be pretty decked out, which is fine with me. More power to them. So while I recognize that I may speak for a minority of players, or even just for myself, it seems to me that one group, while admittedly larger, is getting more than their share of the game. And to me, that's fundamentally unfair. It's the result of a playerbase who gets fired up over being able to ride a dancing bear, but doesn't care that Rhyolith still activates volcanoes behind him (supposedly fixed, wasn't worked properly for us this week), Alysrazor can kill you with Searing Winds even though you're 8 yards away from the edge of her zone, and Beth'Tilac still eats spiderlings from across the room.
All of the above may make me a "douche-nozzle", but I'm entitled to my money's worth as well. I think Blizzard placates too much, and should be spending their time working on content that provides a challenge and something to aspire to. I'm sorry, but there will be no challenge to doing the new dailies. If you want to World PvP, the arenas in STV and Nagrand are still open.

It's undoubtedly the year of the Buc, and I'm no longer ashamed of who I am and who I love. In fact, I want to shout it from the rooftops, and actually occasionally do.
While shingling, I can be heard shouting to passersby: "Hey, I'm a Pirates fan; how do ya like that? I'm here, I'm sincere; get used to it!" (One elderly lady walking a dog called the cops).
Seriously though, I'm suddenly not hearing the derisive jeers anymore. Dave Beemer has been pretty mum on his sarcastic "Parrot" jokes these days. I guess it doesn't matter how my Eastern accent mispronounces it when the Parrots have the second-best record in baseball. Move along, folks; nothing to laugh at here.
I also haven't forgotten next-door neighbor Dana's rude dig last summer when she invited me over for drinks with another couple. When I said, "No thanks, my Pittsburgh Pirates are on TV," she cracked, "Did you say your Piss-Poor Pirates?"
Oh, how they all four cackled as I feigned a grin and went back inside to watch my Bucs fall to another shutout loss. But now it's us pitching shutouts at a record pace. The experts didn't even project the Pirates as pre-season long-shots, and now it's Pedro Alvarez hitting long shots — 26 tape-measure, monumental blasts to be exact.
I'm out of the closet and I'm loving every minute of it. Pirate fans are long-suffering. Our people have wandered the desert for 20 years — the losingest stretch in all of sports.
There have been breathtaking starts followed by heartbreaking finishes, like the last two seasons when they inexplicably collapsed into a bad joke following the All-Star break they had entered as baseball's "Cinderella story." The Promised Land was a million miles away for us Pirastinians.
But through it all, we Bloughs have never forsaken our Bucs nor lost faith. Root for who you want, but as for me and my house, we will serve the Bucs.
I began this column a week after the All-Star Game, when they again started slowly, but I'm fully confident when this goes to press, we will have overtaken first place again.
I lost $80 betting on Alvarez to win the Home Run Derby, but I hold no grudge. The Pirastinians are a forgiving people.
And why not? We could never repay all the magical memories Pirates have brought Bloughs. Back in the days of the greatest ever, Roberto Clemente, and Bill "Maz" Mazeroski, I listened to every game on the same old, stove-sized radio in our hornet-infested, ungodly-hot attic that my older brothers Jess and Paul did.
We didn't need no stinking TV — hearing golden-throated announcer Bob Prince's electric play-by-play lacked nothing.
Paul tells of one close game when another radio station kept bleeding into KDKA-Pittsburgh, and it was opera no less. Prince would shriek, "Gene Alley hits it a mile! Going, going, and …" when suddenly the female opera singer — most likely a fat woman — would begin bellowing nonsense.
Super-fan Jess could stand it no longer. He began punching the radio and screaming, "Shut up, lady. Shut UP! I'll kill you!"
That's right — we Pirate fans would kill for our Bucs.
A new generation of Blough fans — including 17-year-old great-nephew Trey — will help us carry the pennant flag this year. In fact, it was Jess' son Jay who suggested I write a long-overdue tribute to our unshakeable Blough, Buc loyalty. So I'm assuming he'd not want me to leave out his very first Pirate game as a 3-year-old.
I was 15 that summer when Jess and family were home visiting from a faraway place called Wyoming and he took us to Pittsburgh to watch the Pirates beat Hank Aaron and the Milwaukee Braves. Jay was wearing his trademark little blue shorts as Jess held his hand crossing a busy street on the way to old Forbes Field.
Walking a few steps ahead, I heard Jess say with a hint of urgency, "Jay, can't you hold it? Jaaay …?"
I turned to see the tyke stopped dead in the middle of the street, legs spread and a blank, yet contented look on his face. The growing puddle below him finished the story.
You better believe it. We Pirate fans would pee our pants for our Bucs. In fact, if the Pirates do win the World Series, I vow to literally stand in the middle of Powell's Main Street wearing blue shorts and reenact Jay's public gaffe.
I will not cut my hair though. I would do anything for love … but I won't do that.

Huddersfield manager Simon Grayson praised his player's resilience after they came from behind to secure a 2-2 draw at home to Blackburn.
Goals from Jordan Rhodes and Danny Murphy cancelled out Lee Novak's opener but the same player pounced to earn a point for Huddersfield in the fifth minute of stoppage time.
"I think over the course of the game it was probably a fair result. We were up against a good team tonight with some good players," said Grayson.
"We competed well, we were a little scrappy at times with possession of the ball, worked hard, put them under pressure, got the goal.
"But you always know you're going to be up against it at times with the players they've got in their squad.
"It was inevitable Jordan (Rhodes) was going to get on the end of a chance to score.
"There was a major decision, which made us go 2-1 down but the players reacted in a real positive manner and kept going until then end.
"I think we justifiably got out just rewards at the end of it."

Have you ever been out in public and noticed a really obnoxious couple who are taking "public displays of affection" too far? A lot of people don't mind seeing a couple happy and in love. It's the couples who are in lust, that annoy everyone!
Most days, when I am not all "down will love" I can appreciate seeing two people happy to be with one another. I just think there is a certain line you shouldn't cross. At some point, you really should go get a room.
Oddly enough, I don't require a lot of PDA from men I date but I don't like it when they are completely anti-PDA. Why would you not want to publicly show me affection? Are you afraid of being secretly filmed by the show Cheaters? Then I get all paranoid and start acting irrationally with over the top PDA to prove a point (I know, I have issues).
What is your stance on PDA? Are you for or against it? Have you ever dated someone who was not affectionate enough or was into PDA too much?

"What is your stance on PDA?" Do what makes you happy, just keep it respectful! For me it all depends on the setting as to how much PDA goes on.

I think (cough..racist here) do PDA too much..
Why does the public need to know u love each other..
Classy but not Splashy….!!!

I'm all for a little pda. Holding hands, a little peck on the cheek or the lips. Nothing outlandish though like ramming his tongue down my throat or groping me in public though.
October 17th, 2012
8:42 am
Exile you made a good point there. I noticed that too with the other races. I don't see too many of us showing public affection ever!! Maybe it's the places I've been frequenting but I don't see that too often unless it's way over the top affection.

Good Morning, Bloggies!
PDA? None for me, thanks. But for you? Do you. As far as same sex couples, I think that their need to go over the top with PDA is a direct reflection of the fact that people want to deny them the right to marry and pretend like they don't exist. Not saying it's right. Just saying that's my opinion.
October 17th, 2012
9:09 am
Most are too worried about …..I missed that poll…
Too much PDA and needy and lacking kinda go lock in step….
Holding hands,strolling along happy seems fine. But when u have to hold and turn the head of your partner coz u want a kiss..in public…
October 17th, 2012

So ex, beyond the kiss when you get married no other public kissing is appropriate.
And yes most do worry about what other will say or think about them!

MJ, yes I am, who are you trying to prove anything to, it's about doing what makes you happy. Not a myth, not and assumption, just what I hear!!

I am so sick of hearing same sex don't have rights
They act like we have same sex only water foundations and that they have to sit at the back of the bus.
Shoot, in certain industries- same sex relations is your ticket to the top.
October 17th, 2012
9:18 am
UTBH~ I didn't say they don't have any rights. I said that they don't have the right to marry. Big Difference.
October 17th, 2012
9:22 am
CC- I wasn't referring to your post. I'm just saying in general
I can understand their wanting to marry which is something I do not agree with
I just noticed that same sex couples that are not of color act like they are denied the right to sit where they want to sit- kinda like what happened to people of color in the 60's.
I feel they have the I'm going to throw it in your face all day attitude if you do not agree with same sex relations.
I'm a Christian and I believe what's in the bible.

MJ, I said, MOST not all!

I used to be here before – Pick a name. Wouldn't want to get us mixed.
I'm out!
October 17th, 2012

UTBH~ I am a Christian and I believe what is in the Bible as well. People want to be so hard on homosexuals, yet clearly, In Timothy, it is not only a sin to be a homosexual, idolators, fornicators, adulterers, etc fall in that same category. If we were talking about a MORAL right, I would agree with you 100%. But we are not. We are talking about a LEGAL right. And there is no good LEGAL justification for denying gays the right to marry.

Nothing wrong with PDA, just keep it respectful. If not, don't leave the house and continue behind your closed doors.
October 17th, 2012

S/H~ My point exactly.

Morning All!!
I dated an anti-PDA and I didn't like it. He was cold and always acting like he was trying to hide something.
Yes, holding hands, kiss on cheek, light hugs, all nice. I think goodbye PDA at the airport can go a bit further, like a longer kiss or hug.
Anything beyond light PDA is vulgar and disrespectful to others around you, no matter your race, gender, religion, creed, sexual orientation. There is just a right way to behave in public. If you make others around you uncomfortable, it's too much in a civilized society. We are not animals, and even alot of them look for some privacy when they mate. And yes, there are times when what others think matters. It doesn't infringe on anyones right to be themselves. But respect is respect. Getting X rated in public is not respectful.
October 17th, 2012
9:38 am
Kimmie when are there times that what others think matters?
October 17th, 2012
9:40 am
"I used to be here before – Pick a name. Wouldn't want to get us mixed."
Um what part of my name I used to be here before is difficult for you to get mixed up with?
October 17th, 2012
9:42 am
I don't think it is so much a matter of what they think mattering as opposed to a respect issue. No matter what your sexual orientation, there are certain things I don't want to be forced to discuss with my 3-6 year old simply because you can't control your baser nature. That's why we have movie ratings. The same goes for real life. You have certain events that are G, PG, PG-13, R & X. Know which rating your going to and act appropriately.
October 17th, 2012
9:44 am
UTBH – The message boo. Someone alluded to similarities yesterday. Wouldn't want to give folks a reason.
October 17th, 2012
9:51 am
Comon I agree on the respect part, and most of the time most 3-6 year old wouldn't even notice a lot of things if the grown ups around them weren't making such a fuss about it. Most behaviors are learned at home. If you're watching television, and something unexpected happens you turn the channel, if you're out in public and someone decides they want to go a little to far, walk away.
October 17th, 2012

Single…I miss the question
Too much PDA in a public setting is not good. A discerning adult has the discretion to make the call
Thats why,on a different but kinda same issue Atlanta city tickets those with saggy pants.
Public means Public
A grownman has to know what public means
(respect for those around you) really?
October 17th, 2012

City of Atlanta ticketing people, that's a joke right (LOL) That's a whole nother issue (LOL)

Single – What my elders like my grandmother and aunts & uncles think. What my employees and coworkers think matters to a certain point. What my husband thinks. My children, goddaughter, nieces & newphews and any children I have any influence over.
Sure, folks that don't know me I worry little about what they think.
Like Comon says it's mostly a matter of respect. I try to carry myself in a way that reflects positively to the world. So yes, at a certain level on certain things to certain individuals, it matters. To blanketly not be concerned about what anyone in the world thinks is immature and naive to me.
October 17th, 2012
9:58 am
Gotcha Kimmie, different strokes for different folks. Way to many folks for me to care about. What about what you think about yourself?
October 17th, 2012
10:05 am
I have no idea what similarities you are talking about
I used to be here before is my name.
Now if you want to get technical about it , I first started logging into this blog when Blanca blogged along side Wize Diva.
I left when Blance left .

Single – If I showed my A– in public or allowed a man to disrespect me in public, I would not think too highly of myself.
But I am happy and comfortable with the person I am and the lifestyle I CHOSE to live. Pleasing those I mentioned above that I care for is effortless.

I remember years ago, I went to the Bounce (back when it was on Bankhead and an experience NEVER to be repeated again!) and there was a young lady (I use the term very loosely) at the club who was on stage shaking her azz in a skirt that was beyond miniscule and there were a whole bunch of guys lined up in front of the stage watching her and touching her. One dude even went as far as to pull her panties aside and put his fingers all up in her business. All I could think to myself was how low her self esteem must be to let some dude disrespect her like that in a public place. It has been more years than I would like to recollect since that happened and I can still remember what ol' girl looked like. If I passed her on the street, I would know her. (I would probably recognize her vajayjay if I saw it again ) Just sad.
October 17th, 2012
10:14 am
Morning, all!
Looks like a slow blog morning.
Off topic: Breakfast meetings are AWESOME. Most days I eat a light breakfast, but there's something about bacon, eggs, grits, etc…that gets your day off on the right foot.
October 17th, 2012
10:16 am
Dang, CC. You could be the VaJayJay inspector. FIrst the locker room exam, now this. If the police ever need a hoo ha sketch artist, they should call you!
October 17th, 2012
10:17 am
That's a sad story, Comon. I cannot imagine someone letting that occur in a public place. She must have been beyond high. Dang, not that you would know this, but where were her friends. Not many young women travel solo.
October 17th, 2012
10:17 am
Comon – That is very sad. What sets such behavior apart from that of animals?
October 17th, 2012
10:18 am
Eewww! that's nasty!!!!!
Beyond low self esteem
October 17th, 2012
10:18 am
"a hoo ha sketch artist" – oh my!
October 17th, 2012
10:19 am
Question: what would compel a guy to do that? I mean, wouldn't he be worried his finger might come off?
October 17th, 2012
10:20 am
Kimmie, cool then let those others be happy with the lifestyle they CHOOSE to live. In some cases there are rules against things. I'm not saying I'm for it, but I'm sure not about to stand there and worry about what they're doing either.
October 17th, 2012
10:22 am
I Used – He did it because he could, because he saw he could get away with it. He probably figured he couldn't catch anything on his finger. I bet he didn't wash it right away either!
October 17th, 2012
10:23 am
Okay, still catching up, but this:
Anything beyond light PDA is vulgar and disrespectful to others around you, no matter your race, gender, religion, creed, sexual orientation. There is just a right way to behave in public. If you make others around you uncomfortable, it's too much in a civilized society. We are not animals, and even alot of them look for some privacy when they mate. And yes, there are times when what others think matters. It doesn't infringe on anyones right to be themselves. But respect is respect. Getting X rated in public is not respectful
is worth repeating.
October 17th, 2012

Used to be, if it would make his finger fall off, she wouldn't have been up there dancing! (LOL)
October 17th, 2012
10:26 am
Kimmie; That is why I keep my sanitizer handing. No telling where someone's hand has been.
Gosh , mental picture of the guy and girl.
I'm scarred for life

Job Boot Camp: Resume Writing
The summer months are fast approaching and it's time to kick yourself into shape and get job boot camp fit, but we're not talking running marathons here, we're talking trimming up your CV and interview technique so you're job fit, and just what every employer is looking for.
#1. Enthusiasm
It sounds a tad cliche and I wouldn't advise putting 'an enthusiastic individual' on your CV or running in to an interview doing star jumps, but employers are looking for you to show enthusiasm towards your prospective job roll. So don't just put on your CV that you're 'enthusiastic', show them, even if that means spelling it out, tell them that you attended all the industry conventions last year, or about that refresher course you took in I.T. to ensure you're social media skills were up-to-date. It all demonstrates that you're prepared to go above and beyond to be the best at what you do, enthusiasm at its best.
#2. Punctual
Again, I wouldn't put this on your CV as it's hard to back up in writing that you're a punctual person. If you do note it down on your CV give valid examples, such as; 'I pride myself in being punctual, I will always arrive for work, a meeting or interview 15 minutes before', and make sure you walk the walk, don't just talk the talk. Having this on your CV and then arriving only 5 minutes early for an interview will discredit everything else you've said on there. Better to leave this out and arrive early and impress. If you know you're often late then make sure you calculate enough time in to your schedule to get ready for work, an interview or meeting, nobody likes to be kept waiting.
#3. Team Player
You could be the best in the business at what you do but if you're not a team player then it doesn't matter, having one person that's out of sync with the rest of the team can ruin the dynamics and no manager wants to have to deal with that. Demonstrate on your CV a project that you've worked on that required team work to get the job done, and when meeting with a new team make sure you introduce yourself and take the time out to get to know everyone, including what their job roll is. This will also make your work social life much more appealing, remember, time flies when you're having fun!
#4. Creative Thinker
We're not all artists and nor do we all need to be artists however employers are looking for a candidate who is a creative thinker in their field of work. They don't want to have to 'spoon feed' information to employees or micromanage every project. If you can prove that you are a creative thinker this will impress from the get go, mention on your CV a project that you've worked on whereby you were the instigator. Show examples of your idea and the thought process behind it, you don't have to go in to too much detail on your CV, your employer should probe you further in the interview, giving you a good talking point. Just make sure you know your facts.
#5. Integrity
Adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honest – Dictionary.com
This is every employers dream characteristic in a candidate and it's often hard to come by and even harder to demonstrate on your CV. This is something you will have to show by your past and present actions, definitely a moral code to live by in the cut-throat business world.
Follow these 5 golden steps for job boot camp to getting you and your CV in shape and you'll be job fit in no time.

Juliette Has a Bulldog…and an Ostrich
The latest eau from Juliette Has a Gun, Anyway, has one of the greatest—and most random—ad visuals I've ever seen. "I was pissed off about the way that [fragrance] campaigns are built, always this perfection and beauty, all retouched, with the Tour Eiffel in the background—it's so boring," said the brand's founder and perfumer, Romano Ricci (who also happens to be the great-grandson of the late Nina Ricci). So he turned the industry on its head by making an ostrich and a bulldog the faces of his latest creation in lieu of a half-naked model or celebrity. As to why he chose these particular animals: "Why not?" was his response.
The name is equally ambiguous, and no longer reflects a portrait of a specific woman, like the scents that came before it. "To me, it means don't take yourself, or perfumery, too seriously," Ricci explained. The blend itself—composed of fifteen ingredients, including jasmine absolute, musk, and essence of neroli and green lime—is just as refreshing. "It's comfortable, like a cashmere sweater, not particularly seductive or sophisticated," he added. And what woman wouldn't want to cozy up all winter in that?

Nir Lahav
Nir Lahav left his successful career in business to work in the non-profit world in Israel as Program Director of the Joint Distribution Committee's "It's a Deal," in which at-risk youth learn entrepreneurship skills. In 2006, Nir started working at The Jewish Agency as director of the Youth Futures program, which provides critical services to middle-school children in Israel's socio-economic fringes. After the Second Lebanon War, Nir led a Jewish Agency initiative to provide rehabilitation services for children in war-torn areas in Israel.
For two years, from 2009-11, Nir moved, together with his wife, Dalit, and their three children, to the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village in Rwanda, which provides a warm, supportive environment for children who had been orphaned in the country's horrific civil war. While Nir served as Interim Director, Dalit worked as a volunteer doctor, their two younger children attended the village school, and their oldest child performed volunteer service before joining the Israeli army.
In 2011, Nir returned to The Jewish Agency to launch and direct Project TEN.
Nir holds academic degrees from Tel Aviv University Law School and from Pomona College in California, and also studied at the Mandel School of Educational Leadership in Jerusalem, focusing on the areas of unemployment and youth.

During Yarden's tenure there, the program expanded to 25 centers and reached new populations including Bedouin and Druze. Yarden has also facilitated joint activities for Palestinian and Jewish children.
As Operations Coordinator, Yarden directs all activities in already-existing centers, plans the establishment of new centers, and trains staff. He is married to Yael and lives in Jerusalem.

Auroch Digital is Bristol based video games development studio and consultancy. Here are some of the organisations that we've worked with/partnered with/completed projects with:
From producing, designing and evaluating games, to organising game jams and hacks, and now the rapid-prototyping of news stories into games, we are keen gamers on a mission to share this passion. We work on how games can be used as a means of making people laugh, smile or think. We are also instrumental in supporting the South West games development community, our work includes organising monthly get-togethers in Bristol and an online newsletter sharing up-to-date news and opportunities for this thriving community as part of Bristol Games Hub.
For more information, contact Debbie Rawlings, Director of Operations on debbie@aurochdigital dot com
Auroch Digital's Tomas Rawlings talks about games and democracy at TEDx:
Here's an idea of just some of the services we can provide:
Gaming Strategies
Games are expensive to produce, but can have amazing results, provided they are done correctly. We can generate a gaming strategy for your organisation; we'll be looking at what types of games might assist your aims, on what platforms and how it fits your brand or organisation as a whole. We can also advise on an existing development strategy, helping you improve what you do already (some thoughts on this topic from our blog…).
Game Jams
A Game Jam is a method of rapid prototyping of a video game, going from concept to a working version in anything from a matter of hours to days. This is in contrast to the normal development cycle of a game which runs from weeks to years. Game Jams tend to run around a loose theme. In contrast to full game development, Game Jams tend to ignore many of the wrapper and longer-term functionality aspects of a game (option screen, save systems etc) in favour of a focus on gameplay. Jams are a great way to bring a team together, to rapidly develop an idea or to explore a theme or just to have a lot of fun. We've organised a number of game jams for different groups and with different aims, for example the 'Gamify Your PhD' project for the Wellcome Trust or the Global Game Jam Bristol event we produced.
Production & Development
We can produce and develop games, digital projects and other creative ventures for your organisation. We have a wealth of experience producing projects on a whole host of platforms, timescales and budgets. We're specialists in rapid-prototyping of games. Another example is the digital accompaniment to the Wellcome Trust's highly regarded 'Dirt' Season. The game 'Filth Fair', was described by the technology blog Nine Over Ten as, "…an amazing and beautiful piece of art melded with tough trivia gameplay. [We are] proud to present it with a 4.5 out of 5 rating." Design Week described it as 'captivating', remarking that the game was, "a great way to get people engaged with the exhibition's theme and objects."
It is not just games we produce but also events, articles, publications and more. For example we've organised and facilitated discussion panels for the Develop Conference. Speak to us to find out more!
Evaluation, Design & More
We can also help with evaluating your current project/s and how to improve on future developments. We can provide a game design, whether an initial concept, right through to a full game design document, for example Bag It & Bin It game for Wessex Water. (There are thoughts on this topic from our blog.)
We can help with game balancing (helping to get the fun and difficulty curve of your game just right), development process evaluation (assisting in improving the way you make games and their impact on the player) and presentations (from talking at your events on a range of games and technology topics, to helping you improve your presentations and pitches or letting us do them for you!).
We can also assist with designing and delivering topic specific workshops, facilitating ideas sessions, practical sessions on many aspects of games and technology (Some thoughts on this topic from our blog).
PS. Aurochs, if you were wondering, is the ancestor of the domesticated cattle we see today. They were huge wild animals with a shoulder height of around 2m…
…we like the conjunction of something ancient with something very modern, with our own twist, hence, we are Auroch Digital!

christmas time1 Reviews
everyone goes to camryn and ryan's for christmas :)
"so camryn, how has your week been" jamie asked me from andy's lap. "hmm...boring. ryan wouldn't let me do ANYTHING. he said i might pop" i fake cried. "i didn't, i just said you might hurt yourself or the twins" he said. "no..you said that after i got mad at you for saying i might pop" i said. "well, you know i was just kidding babe" he said kissing me. we opened presents. we got some stuff for the babies and us. stuff for the house, etc. when we were done with presents the boys cleaned up the mess while us girls got food. i sat on the couch next to my boo :) with danny and pete. the others were spread out on the floor and random chairs. when the movie was over evreyone left to go home. they'd all be back tomorrow for christmas day dinner. me and ryan headed upstairs. i was sitting on the bed about to go to sleep when ryan walked in. "hey..i have one more present for you camryn" he said pulling a baby pug from behind his back. "OMG! ryan it's adorable!" i said taking the puppy from his hands. "yeah he is" he said laughing. "aww you know i love pugs. thanks baby" i said kissing him passionately. i heard a whimpering. "aww i'm sorry. were we squishing you." i said to the pug. "what are you gonna name him" ryan asked laying next to me. "hmmm i think i'll name him....rebel" i said kissing rebel. "well welcome to the family rebel" ryan said hugging me and rebel. i put rebel in the little doggy bed ryan had gotten for him and laid him on the floor next to my side of the bed. "these past 6 or 7 months have been the greatest ever" i said laying down next to ryan. "oh and why's that" he asked. "because i finally got a pug" i said excitedly. "so it's not because you got married to the hottest guitarist ever and are about to have his babies" ryan asked. "well...yeah i guess that too" i said laughing. "fine be that way" he said pouting. "haha aww don't be sad ry. i loooooove you so much" i kissed him and turned off the light. i woke up and looked at the clock. it said 11:30. everyone was gonna be there at 12. ryan came into the room in just his boxers with a toothbrush in his mouth and his hair everywhere. "i was just about to come wake you up" is what i got out of the mumbled speech. i took a quick shower and got dressed. i had just finished putting my hair up when i heard the doorbell ring. i went downstairs to see spencer, kk, and ryan standing at the door. spencer was handing a brown box to ryan. "oooo another present" i asked excitedly. "no. wrong address. i'll take it back later" ryan said hiding it behind his back. something wasn't right but i just shrugged it off.
(ryan pov)
me and spencer told the girls we'd get the table and everything else set up. "who do you think it's from" spencer asked me about the box. "probably travis" i said putting the box somewhere camryn wouldn't find it. i would deal with it later. "it's been almost 3 months since you got anything from him" spencer said. "i know. i knew that wasn't the end but i don't know what to expect anymore" i said sighing. everyone else finally arrived and we ate. we were all stuffed afterwards so we just watchd some movies like we usually do. they all decided to stay at our house for the night. after everyone was settled in their rooms i went into mine and camryn's. that's when i noticed the box on the bed. it had been opened and i could hear camryn crying in the bathroom.
yeah gotta leave you hanging. can't give all the juicyness away in one chapter :)

Legally Blonde is a movie that inspired many a ditzy sorority girl to apply to law school — obviously the appeal of wearing a pink power suit to court was just too great for them to resist. Let's face it: whether you like it or not, Elle Woods has become an icon of sorts for a generation of women who never realized that they could be smart and pretty at the same time. For that reason (among many others), she was able to make it to the Final Four of our Fictional Lawyer Madness competition.
Is all people see when they look at you blonde hair and big boobs? Then it's highly likely that you, too, can get into Harvard Law on a whim! What, like it's hard?
Unfortunately, there are some legal issues that not even women like Elle Woods can talk themselves out of, and we've got a potpourri of disorderly conduct allegations for you to feast your eyes upon….

Wright: Spore Confirmed for Wii, Wii Only True "Next Gen" Console, PC Will Never DieA Wii edition of Maxis' heralded evolution simulator Spore has been confirmed by designer Will Wright, who is responsible for both Spore and the massively successful Sims series.
"We're doing Spore on the Wii," Wright mentioned offhandedly in a talk with Guardian Unlimited. A Wii version has long been speculated since Wright declared last year that Spore would arrive "on all platforms," though it was never specifically confirmed until now.
Earlier this week, the renowned designer claimed that the PC version of Spore was "roughly" six months away. A Nintendo DS edition is said to be in development, with a PSP iteration rumored as well, though no information has surfaced on either project in some time.
Wright also noted his belief that the Wii is the only true "next generation" console on the market. "The PS3 and the Xbox 360 feel like better versions of the last, but pretty much the same game with incremental improvement," he said. "But the Wii feels like a major jump--not that the graphics are more powerful, but that it hits a completely different demographic."
"In some sense I see the Wii as the most significant thing that's happened, at least on the console side, in quite a while," he continued.
As for the PC market, Wright expressed his continued optimism for the platform. "Every generation it's like 'the PC's dead! The PC's dead!'," he said. But it carries on growing when consoles are flat for five years. At the moment I can get better graphics on my PC than I can on the PS3."

GE Healthcare Medical Diagnostics Re-launches Optison™ Contrast Agent
PRINCETON, N.J., July 12 /PRNewswire/ -- GE Healthcare Medical Diagnostics today announced the market reintroduction of Optison™ (Perflutren Protein-Type A Microspheres Injectable Suspension, USP), a diagnostic ultrasound contrast agent for use in select echocardiograms. Optison is indicated for use in patients with suboptimal echocardiograms to opacify the left ventricle and to improve the delineation of the left ventricular endocardial borders. The safety and efficacy of Optison with exercise stress or pharmacologic stress testing have not been established.
"We are excited to announce the reintroduction of Optison," said Kimberly Wolf, Regional Marketing Leader - Americas, GE Healthcare Medical Diagnostics. "The product gives medical professionals an option in ultrasound contrast agent when they need to increase diagnostic accuracy by converting non-diagnostic echo studies to diagnostic images."
Optison is an FDA-approved ultrasound contrast agent available in a ready-to-use formulation, providing the benefits of fast preparation time, ease of use, portability, and flexible dosing. The recommended dose is 0.5 mL injected into a peripheral vein. This may be repeated for further contrast enhancement as needed, but the maximum total dose should not exceed 8.7 mL in any one patient study.
Optison was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1998. In June 2009, GE Healthcare was no longer able to supply Optison to the market due to manufacturing difficulties. Since that time, the company has conducted a thorough review of the manufacturing process and changes have been made to minimize any future disruptions to product supply.
"Optison gives cardiologists, sonography professionals, cardiac catheterization laboratory nurses, echocardiography laboratory staff, and most importantly patients, an additional option in ultrasound contrast agent selection," said Anthony N. DeMaria, MD, Professor of Medicine, Judith and Jack White Chair in Cardiology at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine.
According to the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echocardiography Laboratories (ICAEL), an estimated 10 million echocardiograms are performed in the United States each year. As many as 30% of patients receiving stress echocardiography may receive nondiagnostic or poor-quality images. Echocardiographic contrast agents can improve imaging. Clinical trials demonstrate that suboptimal echocardiograms can be converted to diagnostic examinations in 75% to 90% of patients.
The American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) recommends the use of contrast whenever two or more left ventricular wall segments are not seen on non-contrast images. In clinical studies supporting the marketing application of Optison, there was significantly increased left ventricular heart opacification and improved endocardial border delineation with Optison compared to non-enhanced echocardiograms.
"I am pleased that Optison is back on the market because it offers an important tool for improving the accuracy and reliability of echocardiograms, without unnecessarily exposing patients to ionizing radiation or dye," said Steven B. Feinstein, MD, FACC, FESC, Professor of Medicine and Director of Echocardiography, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago. "By improving the accuracy of echocardiograms, the use of ultrasound contrast agents also avoids redundant downstream testing."
Optison's safety profile is supported by more than 1 million administered doses and nearly 12 years of clinical use, with only 16 serious adverse events reported since 1998. Of the reported adverse reactions following the use of Optison the most frequently reported were headache, nausea and/or vomiting, warm sensation or flushing, and dizziness. Some adverse reactions have been identified during the postmarketing use of perflutren-containing microsphere products. Fatal cardiac arrests and other serious but non-fatal adverse reactions were uncommonly reported. Most of these uncommon reactions included cardiopulmonary symptoms and signs such as cardiac or respiratory arrest, hypotension, supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias, respiratory distress, or decreased oxygenation. Reports also identified neurologic reactions (loss of consciousness or convulsions) as well as anaphylactoid reactions. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

Important Risk and Safety Information About Optison
Important Boxed Warning and Risk Information About Optison
WARNING: Serious Cardiopulmonary Reactions
Serious cardiopulmonary reactions, including fatalities, have occurred during or following perflutren-containing microsphere administration.
- Assess all patients for the presence of any condition that precludes Optison administration (see CONTRAINDICATIONS).
- In patients with pulmonary hypertension or unstable cardiopulmonary conditions, monitor vital sign measurements, electrocardiography, and cutaneous oxygen saturation during and for at least 30 minutes after Optison administration (see WARNINGS).
- Always have resuscitation equipment and trained personnel readily available
Please see continued Important Risk and Safety Information in Full Prescribing Information at http://www.gehealthcare.com/usen/docs/optison%20PI.pdf
Optison is indicated for use in patients with suboptimal echocardiograms to opacify the left ventricle and to improve the delineation of the left ventricular endocardial borders. The safety and efficacy of Optison with exercise stress or pharmacologic stress testing have not been established.
Do not administer Optison to patients with known or suspected:
Right-to-left, bidirectional, or transient right-to-left cardiac shunts,
Hypersensitivity to perflutren, blood, blood products, or albumin (see WARNINGS).
Do not administer Optison by intra-arterial injection.
Safety and efficacy have not been established in pediatric patients, or in patients with congenital heart disease (see WARNINGS).
In postmarketing use, uncommon but serious reactions observed during or shortly following perflutren-containing microsphere administration included fatal cardiac or respiratory arrest, loss of consciousness, convulsions, symptomatic arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, or fibrillation), hypotension, respiratory distress, or cardiac ischemia (see ADVERSE REACTIONS).
Always have cardiopulmonary resuscitation personnel and equipment readily available prior to Optison administration and monitor all patients for acute reactions.
Postmarketing reports of acute anaphylactoid reactions including shock, bronchospasm, upper airway swelling, loss of consciousness, urticaria, and pruritus, have occurred in patients with no prior exposure to perflutren-containing microsphere products. Monitor all patients for signs and symptoms of anaphylactoid reactions (see ADVERSE REACTIONS).
This product contains albumin, a derivative of human blood. Based on effective donor screening and product manufacturing processes, it carries an extremely remote risk for transmission of viral disease.
A theoretical risk for transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) also is considered extremely remote. No cases of transmission of viral disease or CJD have ever been identified for albumin.
The following adverse reactions have been identified during the postmarketing use of perflutren-containing microsphere products. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Fatal cardiac arrests and other serious but nonfatal adverse reactions were uncommonly reported. Most of these uncommon reactions included cardiopulmonary symptoms and signs such as cardiac or respiratory arrest, hypotension, supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias, respiratory distress, or decreased oxygenation. Reports also identified neurologic reactions (loss of consciousness or convulsions) as well as anaphylactoid reactions (see WARNINGS).

India in London: Day 10 round-up
The five-time world champion, had to fight hard to progress to the next stage, winning 19-14 at the ExCel Arena. The Indian faces Maroua Rahali of Tunisia in a last eight bout Monday.
The first round was a tight affair as both the boxers came out attacking. There was nothing to separate the two as the round ended 3-3.
In the second round, the Indian boxer came out with a new vigour and attacked viciously. The Polish boxer too didn't flinch as she she answered Mary Kom's punches with some of her own.
Many thought the round might got to the Pole, who towards the end sent the 2010 Asian Games gold medallist reeling. Karolina landed a hard right hook which took the wind out of the Indian. But the judges still awarded the round in the Indian's favour 5-4.
Mary Kom showed her class in the third. She attacked with a flurry of combinations which had the Pole ducking and evading. Both of them traded punches for a while but it was clear that the diminutive Indian was well ahead. With quick feet and quick hands, Mary Kom surged ahead into the lead, taking the round 7-3.
With both boxers tiring in the fourth round, the Indian tried to stay away from the reach of her opponent, who had to reduce a five-point deficit.
Karolina fought hard for a comeback but the Indian was too good for her. Time running-out, the Pole caught Mary Kom a couple of times but could only draw the final round 4-4.

The cutting-edge cushioning of the Air Force 1 shoe, and the revolutionary upper Air Foamposite One both took basketball by storm (get it). Graphic, Doppler-esque depictions of inclement weather patterns grace the uppers of each shoe. The blue colorway demonstrates a quick transformation from calm to intense, while the red represents the constant pounding of a soaking thunderstorm.

The hours are Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM (Closed Holidays) when volunteers from the Kerrville Genealogical Society are there to help those who are doing family history research. Leave your name and phone number along with the name you seek in the obituary records.
A Volunteer will do a search to see if
there is an obituary for that name. Researchers will then get a call-back,
e-mail or mailing from the Library staff to report on the

I am a sucker for PB and we usually toss a couple Probars in the pack for breakfast when we go backpacking. They are super filling and I usually snack on it as we break camp. They don't melt and they taste sooooo good! I think the PB with chocolate is my fav but straight PB is a close second!
Peanut butter fans rejoice

Nothing better when you are cooked after a ride or skiing than peanut butter anything - perfect add for PROBAR!
