text: Best Lenses for Landscape Photography - Lenses tend to be an afterthought for new photographers. Most of us, whether we shoot nature, landscape, or any other subject, simply do our best with the equipment that we have, which usually means using whatever came bundled with our camera when we bought it. http://annemckinnell.com/2013/12/15/best-lenses-for-landscape-photography/ #photography #travel #blog #lens

Not really , don't want actual questions, just examples of what type of questions are asked for revision....duh??? like topic examples....
but if i give you examples then you will know the questions
the telephone interview .... muhahahahahah , brush up on all aspects . i was amazed how much i was out of touch , when i brushed up for mine

Honestly don't worry too much.You will be expected to show some problem solving skills-but it really is about being methodical and sensible.
Like Haggis says if we give any example questions that will give you the answers
Have you had the telephone interview yet? When I joined 18 months ago the telephone interview was ten questions-then I had an assessment day which included a technical interview, a normal interview and a mock breakdown on a vehicle.

Yeah I'v had the telephone interview. Passed that no probs.just concerned about the technical interview???
20 questions and they are looking at youre understanding of a particular part or procedure
Last edited by MerseyPatrol; 08-12-07 at 01:50. Reason: I mat have given some answers to possible questions that may be asked. silly me
Dont panic about it m8 , the guy/woman doing the interview will know their stuff but knowing your going to be nervous they ask questions and drag the info out of you .
If you dont know an answer , ask questions back .. thats how all patrols get the real reason peoples car break down in the real world .
The day you start is the day you start learning about cars ... You have to get in your head that you dont have to fix everything you go to , but making temp repairs just to get things running , bypassing things .... generally a good bodge will do ... so long as you do the paperwork explaining what you did .
If all else fails ... tow it
I returned to rac 2 yrs ago after 5 year break. Phone interview was ok BUT assesement day was very hard. 2 breakdown roleplays, technical assesment interview and grilling by patrol manager and trainer for @45 minutes. Left there with headache and thought it was different job I was going for to the one I had left in 2001 yet once back out on road nothing has changed that much.
You fix what you can, lash up where you have to and tow the rest.easy money really!
After the interview does anyone know how long it takes to find out if you got the job or not. Went for assessment day last wednesday not heard anything yet, just saw the job I went for advertised again on the net:....Do they let you know either way
When I had my interview day I was told it could be up to two weeks-but luckily got a call the same evening.

Very Accommodating and absolutely delicious! Will definitely be back for more visits in the future!!
I wanted to rate excellent but I've only been there once. The restaurant was very nice and clean. I felt a little under dressed. No English menus were available but the staff will translate and make (great) recommendations. Food was really good! The pesto pasta was amazing. My steak was flavorful and juicy. The house red wine went well with... More
Not many can get an octopus dish right. These guys fed me the best I have ever had anywhere. Hands down. The grilled fish on the main course was a delight. Again, one of the best ever. Topped it off with homemade vanilla icecream, probably from heaven. Fantastic staff and immaculate service. Superb. No hesitation in highly recommending.
After a very busy day and receiving recommendation from a local friend we entered La Ciotola in Porcia. The warm and welcoming reception by the owner of the place was the promo for a delightful dinner. The starters was delicious, the vegetables were so fresh, the cheese from a great quality and the spicing was very accurate (we took the... More
Sooo good, super friendly staff, upscale feel, LOVED it! They have a daily menu that the waiter kindly gave us a brief translation to help everything we got was delicious, only complaint is there are no prices on the menu!
This is our second visit to La Ciotola. We have holidayed in Nice twice in the last few years. We stumbled upon this restaurant by accident first time round, but this time we actively sought it out. The food on the standard menu is very good, but I strongly recommend that people try the specials. We ate a starter of... More
We absolutely love this place! The strawberry steak is amazing and we love the all you can eat salad bar. The kids can play in the large back yard while we enjoy the relaxing atmosphere. This is a weekend go to place! Very kid friendly and the staff are very nice.
The friends I was visiting in Pordenone took me to La Ciotola. What a treat! I don't know that I've ever had better fish, and the tastes I had of their fish were also delicious. The wines by the glass were wonderful and the ambiance is appealing. Service was a bit slow because only two people were there to handle... More
Mr Reaves and I, along with our friend, ate at La Ciotola last night for the first time. We drive by this restaurant every day on our way to work, but whenever we've decided to eat here, it was ALWAYS closed. Imagine our underdressed surprise when we pulled up last night, and the lights were on! It is a lovely... More

Health oversight and hydraulic fracturing
August 26, 2014
Guests: Katie Colaneri, Dr. Ruth McDermott-Levy, Adam Garber, Raina Rippel
Last Monday, a group of health professionals and environmentalists raised concerns about the oversight of health complaints related to hydraulic fracturing in the state. The coalition asked for an independent audit of the Department of Health, and their handling of health concerns raised by Pennsylvanians living in areas in which Marcellus drilling occurs. To give us an update on the ongoing controversy, we'll be joined by StateImpact Pennsylvania's KATIE COLANERI, who has been following the story. We'll then hear from two members of this coalition, DR. RUTH McDERMOTT-LEVY, the director of the Center for Global and Public Health at Villanova University, and ADAM GARBER, Field Director for PennEnvironment Research and Policy Center. Then we'll hear from RAINA RIPPEL, Director of the Southwestern Pennsylvania Environmental Health Project, about her organization, which responds to health complaints by residents affected by natural gas extraction.

When it comes to pet ownership, what do you consider "normal"?
If you grew up in an area of the country where all of your neighbors owned a plethora of cats and dogs, you probably can't imagine having just one canine companion.
But if your childhood was spent lavishing attention on a single cat, the idea of being outnumbered by four-legged family members probably sounds nothing short of sheer chaos.
We were curious to see how much the average number of pets per household varied by state, so we combed Vetstreet's data to determine just how many cats and dogs inhabit homes across the nation.
Double the Fun: Homes With Dogs and Cats
One of the clearest trends we noticed: Homes that had both canines and felines often had more of each kind of animal. In some cases, the difference was particularly notable — in Oklahoma, the average home with just cats or dogs had 1.41 dogs and 1.34 cats. But homes that housed canines and kitties jumped to an average of 1.83 dogs and 1.57 cats per family.
Plenty of Heart in the Heartland
States in the Midwest — which benefit from more wide-open spaces — also tended to have more pets per household. By comparison, the Northeast corridor had the lowest number of pets per family.
It raises the question: Is it a matter of having ample acreage or a different mindset? There's no telling from our data, but we'd love to hear how many pets you have in your own home. And while we're on the subject, how many pets are just too many?
For more interesting pet trends culled from Vetstreet's stats, check out these stories.

Harvard Business Review – How to Hang onto Top Talent
Real Estate Manager – Effective Succession Planning: Get an Early Start and Use Data
Airline profits are flying high, thanks to healthy load factors, low fuel prices, and capacity discipline. But there's another downturn ahead, and airlines must prepare for it now – by leading the way in digital transformation, and boosting their future talent bench.
Amoco, Anheuser-Busch, Chrysler, Motorola, Wrigley. Great Midwestern companies that failed to adapt to global competition and ended up being acquired. Many others have suffered the same fate or declared bankruptcy, and now the ongoing disruption from globalization and technological change is putting our legacy companies under further pressure.
As digitization sweeps across China's economy and transforms consumers' expectations and behavior, companies in every sector are scrambling to keep up. They must reimagine customer experiences, win at e-commerce, and harness digital technology to reshape their operations and organizations.
CHROs today face an ever more difficult challenge – identifying and developing the talent to drive the transformation required in today's organizations, individuals who can solve problems quickly and in new ways, with the fortitude to navigate in uncertainty and to accept and overcome failure through an onslaught of data and marketplace changes.
Companies are investing more aggressively than ever in executive recruiting, assessment and development. Yet despite this higher level of input, the development tends have little or no impact for executives in a fast-changing market environment; the implication being the methods used to select and develop talent have not kept pace with the changing requirements for effective leadership.
In the cover article of the June 2014 Harvard Business Review, Claudio Fernández-Aráoz argues that potential—even more than skill and experience—must be the deciding factor as companies recruit and promote executives in a fast-changing, talent-scarce world.
The rapidly evolving business world has exposed the inadequacies of existing models for assessing potential. Past performance and current capabilities offer no guarantee that an individual will succeed in dramatically different work roles and environments of high-velocity change. Now, however, a new model of potential, encompassing the four deep personal traits that foretell great leadership, is providing the accuracy, rigor, and discipline that you need to uncover the real promise in people and manage it for competitive advantage.
Ensuring that diversity programs and objectives fulfil their promise requires a rigorous model of potential that neither confuses it with experience and performance nor leaves it to the mercy of intuition. The model developed by the Egon Zehnder research team gauges executive potential by assessing the degree to which an individual possesses four leadership traits that predict the development of executive ability.
Egon Zehnder's International Executive Panel finds that increasingly disruptive, unpredictable business environments make past performance an unreliable predictor of executives' future success.
Automotive OEMs must work in fundamentally new and different ways to deliver the Connected Car that consumers so clearly desire. The shift begins with objectively assessing and developing leaders' potential to drive deep strategic change and build more open cultures that effectively integrate diverse expertise.

OMG!! SEE What PR0STITUTES Go Through In Nairobi at night
you me its all you think about. So I remembered mine.
"How about that sock," I smiled trying to make it sound like it was nothing.
"Errr…Njoro si you'll give 500 bob tomorrow coz I don`t have change. I`ll give it back kesho," Fred stammered eyeing the massive booty on his mama and winking at us.
"No problem man," Njoro (I know weird name) my man for the night said waving Fred off.
500 sock was good. Truly Jesus was with me tonight. Three hours later, a lot of beers drunker, things got out of hand. Njoro`s hand had developed "Crawlophobia". This my friends is when a drunk dude` s hand sets their goal on one target "up your skirt"
I was drunk but not enough to let a stranger's hand go up to "Heavens gate" In fact I was beginning to throw " hell" at him . Liz was busy making out with the new boyfriend.
"Let`s get out of here ," I said literally pulling her off the guy's lips. (LNo! this is not cockblocking readers, my thighs and kitty are at risk here… hallo )
"Wh….y?" Liz stammered her lips automatically falling back on the guys
Shit! Liz can be so stupid when she's drank! Nkt! Pombe sio maji!
"Can you give me the 500. I want to leave," I said to Njoro trying to sound nice the first time that night.
"Five…hu..hu..hundred gani? Mi….m..i kwa…ni ni baba..baba..babayako," Njoro asked banging his fist on the table.
"Si Fred alikuambia uniaptie five hundred na ukakubali," I felt hot tears congregate in my eyes
"Mi..mimi si patii ma..laya pesaaaa," Njoro said before his head fell on to the table.
"Leta basi one hundred," I shouted getting Liz and her boyfriend's attention.
"Ni nini bwana …pa…pat..patia msichana pesa yake aende akalale Malaya ya Nairobi bwana! Liz's boyfriend bellowed . Three times tonight night I've been called Malaya oK
"Sweetie now why you calling my friend a Malaya?" Liz asked him planting kisses on him.
"Ata…ata wewe ni Malaya ya Nairobi …bure kabisa.Kwenda! acha sisi tukatafute Malaya weng..ine wzuri kuwashinda," Liz's boyfriend said pushing her off his laps.
"AiiI sweetie…," Liz began to protest
Luckily! Unlike stingy Njoro, he threw 1000 bob on the table. I pounced on it , grabbed my coat and dragged Liz out.
We should have taken a cab to the stage, but a greedy me decided that I...

text: For a few years, Angels starter Jered Weaver has seen his velocity fall from an average fastball of 89 miles per hour in 2011 to just 83 miles per hour in 2015. On Wednesday, the All-Star righty's average fastball fell to a staggering 79 miles per hour. This led to All-Star righty allowing three homeruns in just two innings in his second spring outing. Weaver later underwent a precautionary MRI for neck stiffness, which may have led to such a slow fastball. Buster Olney of the ESPN Baseball Tonight Baseball Podcast goes further into this issue, and even expresses the odds of Weaver finding his velocity and success again at the Major League level.

A creation of writer/playwright Julia Donaldson, and beautifully illustrated by Axel Scheffler, the original Gruffalo book tells the story of a cunning and imaginative mouse taking a stroll through a deep, dark wood. He manages to scare off the hungry animals trying to eat him by inventing a creature called the gruffalo, half grizzly bear and half buffalo, who the mouse says he is going to dinner with.
Of course, when the mouse meets a real gruffalo, he is mightily shocked, but still manages to use his cunning to survive.
The book proved incredibly popular, winning several prizes for children's literature and has even been made into a West End and Broadway play! The fans of the brave mouse and the frightening gruffalo can now enjoy a wide range of Gruffalo products here on Temptation.

That green beauty is on my list to try too. It really is a shame we weren't born twins. Can you imagine what our closet would look like? ;) And this may be sad but I even have its name memorized - it's the Spring-Ready Dress. Geez Louise, I have a major case of Anthropathy.
And this next piece of news is not going to help with my Anthro obsession but guess what I discovered in the mail today? My Anthro birthday discount! Let the shopping begin.
@Dajana - I think it would save us a ton of money if we could share closets! My sister and I used buy clothes to "share" when we lived together, it's the best!
I love the name too, "spring-ready" definitely fits me to a tee right about now.
Uh oh, Anthro discount card - happy almost birthday to you!

Go to : http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=10745844 Ordinarily I would consider this unworthy of celebrity news. But as soon as someone posts Anderson Cooper's pun-filled summation of the case on YouTube, it'll be worth it. ETA: And here it is: http://ac360.blogs.cnn.com/2011/08/17/the-ridiculist-gerard-depardieu
Ugh. In a similar story a few weeks ago, a drunk passenger peed on the floor next to a young girl's seat on JetBlue jet.
Anderson Cooper must think his followers are stupid. I got his puns without him pointing them out. It was funny though when he lost it & started giggling like a little kid.
Anderson Cooper giggling is one of the most adorable things I've ever seen. I showed the clip of it at a house party last night, and everyone, even the big stoic guys, were cracking up. It's impossible not to smile at it.
ITA with this. I have watched it a bunch of times and it keeps me laughing every time. He is soooooo cute!
So people don't believe the claim of prostrate problems? People are still chuckling about this, so I assume people think he is lying? Or are prostrate problems not seen as anything serious by most people?
I'm with you Japanfan, I didn't find Anderson's giggles nor the script particularly giggle-worthy. I just don't get it. But Colbert's segment on it the other night was a blast. Coincidentally, I just saw Depardieu's old movie La Chevre and it was a nice reminder of his once hotness.
seeing Anderson Cooper dissolve into a giggling 12 year old over the juvenile "Depar-two" joke was hilarious.
Awwww Peter - so serious? Prostrate problems are not giggle worthy. But my laughs are because of Anderson's giggles not so much because of the source. And if the prostrate thing is true - he (Cooper) didn't know that when he did the segment. Also - is it not true that Depardieu was drunk or at least drinking enough to be thought drunk? His prostrate problems had a little help from his friends as it were? I guess it just seems like one of those excuses that may have truth to them but are not the whole story.
Had he been prostrate with drink, you couldn't blame people for not being sympathetic. However, if he has prostate problems, then he should be shown some thoughtfulness.
O/T in this thread, I suppose, but Depardieu really is a very good, successful actor, much more so in his French films than whatever he did in English. Just sayin'......
If Gerald suffers from prostate problem then I'm sure this plane incident wasn't the first time that he had to pee really bad during an inappropriate time. He should have taken precaution like either (a) not drink anything an hour before he boarded the plane and/or (b) wear adult diaper. Laughing at this incident doesn't mean that no one is taking prostate problem seriously or that people doesn't have empathy for Gerald. Look at all the uni testicle jokes by late night comics about Lance Armstrong after he recovered from cancer treatment. You can have a laugh at something serious.
Judging by recent pictures of Depardieu I'd say his being a lush might have something to do with his prostate troubles.
And the award for most puns in a 4-minute segment goes to ... Anderson Cooper! I actually though it would have been funnier if he hadn't found it necessary to explain all the puns, but still worth a giggle.

Colombo, Oct 19 (IANS) West Indies all-rounder Marlon Samuels has been reported for a suspect bowling action following the tourists' crushing first Test loss to Sri Lanka last week.
The match officials' report cited concerns about the legality of the 34-year-old's bowling action during the Galle Test which the West Indies lost by an innings and six runs on Saturday, reported cricket.com.au on Monday.
Samuels took 1/84 from 27 overs in Sri Lanka's first innings of 484, removing opener Dimuth Karunaratne. Samuels' bowling action will now be scrutinised further under the International Cricket Council's (ICC) process relating to suspected illegal bowling actions reported.
He will be required to undergo testing within 14 days but will be allowed to continue bowling until the results of the testing are released, meaning the veteran will be able to bowl in the second Test, which will begin at the P. Sara Oval here on Thursday.
This is the third time Samuels has been reported with a suspect action in his 60-Test career which has produced 41 wickets at an average of 59.63.
He was first reported after the third Test between South Africa and the Windies in Durban in January 2008. He was subsequently suspended from bowling in international cricket but after remedial work to his bowling action, was allowed to resume bowling in September 2011.
He was then reported following the second Test against India in Mumbai in November 2013. Following reassessment, he was allowed to continue to bowl his standard off-break delivery, but was not permitted to bowl his quicker deliveries which were found to exceed the 15 degree level of tolerance.
The reporting of Samuels is a blow for the West Indies, who will play one more Test against Sri Lanka before three One-Day Internationals (ODI) and two Twenty20 Internationals. They will then head to Australia for a three-Test series, beginning in Hobart on December 10.

Foreclosures and real estate owned (REO) closings continued to decline from a year earlier in July, but did not appear to be dragging the market. Out of all existing home closings, foreclosures combined with REO closings represented 10.5% of closings, below 15.2% a year earlier. The percentage of existing home closings involving foreclosures sank to 4.5% in July from 7.2% a year earlier while REO closings as a percentage of existing home closings slid to 6.1% from 8.1% a year earlier.

Hi everyone! I have croched for years, but I'm new to knitting & I love it! I've tried to find beginners' sweater patterns for my 2 girls, 2 & 3 lb yorkies. What I have found are larger patterns, and I'm not anywhere close to resizing patterns! Anyone have any suggestions?I'm looking forward to sharing with all of you - everyone sounds so nice!Thanks for any help!
Hi, I am knitting my first sweater myself. I have a great book, Stitch and Bitch. There is a great pattern for "howl and cowl", one sweater for you and one for your pooch. It looked like a small dog size. This is a great beginner book. The pattern takes you step by step and all of the skill sets needed are in the book. Good luck!
This is a great pattern for a child's and dog's sweater:http://www.kyarns.com/product/minnowknits-bow-wow-knitting-pattern/minnowknits-knitting-patterns
I'm making my second sweater now. It's an easy pattern to follow and works up rather quickly. The cabling looks great and is so easy to do - 1 row out of 8. I haven't tried the dog sweater yet, but I've read over the directions, and they seem easy to follow.I didn't buy the pattern, I found it in a knitting book I borrowed from the library [can't remember which one], but I believe the design is by Jill Eaton.

I have been in the company for 5-10 years. Most employees have been there for at least a year. There's not a lot of turnover, and especially not in management. This can be a great thing or s bad thing depending on how you look at it. On one hand, it's a good enough company that people don't want to leave, but on the other hand, there is almost no upward mobility. You have to really like what you're doing because you'll be doing it for a very long time. The hours are flexible for entry-level based on performance so that's a plus. Managers have the flexibility to work from home from time to time but it really depends on your immediate supervisor and how flexible they want to be. I have had to work weekends regularly and late nights and that has always put a strain on work-life balance, especially with kids. It's also difficult in this department to have a schedule that coincides with day care. I've taken maternity leave and the pay was 70% which is pretty good compared to other paved I've heard about. The only thing is, is paid for 6 weeks of you have a regular delivery and 8 if you have a c-section. You can then get an additional 4-6 weeks unpaid. Either way, it's not enough time, it seems, to be with your child before having to set up care. I managed by planning ahead and saving. The locations have nursing rooms for mothers to pump. The company is really good at giving the time to do that. They also have mini fridges in the room to store milk so that's a huge plus. Overall, it's been a good company to work for. The benefits are good and the work is worthwhile.
yes, if you are looking for a dream job, then find your dream job. Its not about always working at a building, sometimes working from home does help us in the modern world. Afterall, women are equal to men too, but women have to provide for their home with their family.
Its a man's world governed by nepotism. Equal pay does not exist and there is no urgent desire within management or hr to fix this.

Marantz cd-52 clocking question
Hi All,
I recently purchased a used Marantz CD52 unit with the intention to mod it and implement my own non-os DAC module with direct i2s input from the SAA7310GP. Interesting enough, while tracing the wirings of the SAA7310GP I found that the xtal_in (pin 26) is not connected to any crystal oscillator! The PCB layout is rather intricate and without any service manual on hand, you can imagine it's a tough job trying to put all the pieces together. In any case, I did find a crystall oscillator but it is only connected to the stock DAC chip (SAA7350GP); there's no trace from the DAC XSYS1 pin back to the SAA7310GP. In case you are wondering about the layout, the DAC chip is connected to a NPC SM5840FP digital filter for up-sampling purpose and it in turn is connected to the micro-controller and the SAA7310GP. Qn1: The music reporduction of this unit is fine. That seems to imply that it is not necessary for the SAA7310 chip to have have clock input or sync. But...how can this be the case? I mean, surely the SAA7310 chip must need to know when to clock the data out to the Digital Filter/DAC, right? Qn2: for my mod, I intent to re-use the crystall oscillator and implement the Kwak Clock with clock input to the SAA7310. However, I'm not sure whether this may screw things up. I doubt so but would like some confirmation from the guys who have done mod on Marantz CD52 or with in-depth knowledge of the SAA7310. Thank you in advance for your help on the above! |

Does your CD-52 have 2 PCBs? One for the PS/Controller/Decoder and another for the Filter/DAC/Output Stage? If yes, it certainly looks like my CD-62. I don't have the service manual for it (if anyone has, please tell me!) but I made some schematics myself by looking at the traces. If you don't find the datasheets for the ICs in your player, tell me, I'll send you them Alex |

Hi Bricolo,
No, the CD52 has only one PCB for all the components. Thanks for your offer on the datasheets. I have the datasheets for the SAA7530 and SAA7310 but not the SM5840FP. If you have it, will appreciate if you email it to me. Thanks, Moe |

Re: Marantz cd-52 clocking question
The original crystal was probably connected to the SAA7350. So you have to connect the KWAK-CLOCK here too! From there the clock is further linked to the digital filter and digital signal processor. Just remove the crystal, the two small caps connected to it and the 100k or 1M resistor. See fig. 12 of the datasheet: http://www.ultranalog.com/data/frits/saa7350_bw.pdf BTW instructions for the CD52 are also on www.lcaudio.dk |

Hi Elso,
"The original crystal was probably connected to the SAA7350. So you have to connect the KWAK-CLOCK here too!" Yes, the crystal is directly connected to the SAA7350. I was able to trace the wirings with the help of the SAA7350 datasheet. However, since I'm going to use my own TDA1541-based non-os DAC, I was thinking of connecting the Kwak Clock straight to the SAA7310. One good reason of doing that, I think, is because I would like to input the clock signal directly to the SAA7310 instead of subjecting it to potential noise as it winds its way along the PCB from the SAA7350 to wherever it's supposed to go. "From there the clock is further linked to the digital filter and digital signal processor." No such luck...I look at the layout a few times and there's just no clock input back to the digital filter and the SAA7310. The XTAL_in pin of the SAA7310 is left opened and not linked. The XSYS1 pin of SAA7350 is also left opened and not linked. Frankly, I myself is quite puzzled by this. The only explanation I can think of is that there's a internal VXO inside the SAA7350 that's doing the clocking and synchronisation (at least the datasheet seems to imply this) |

It is possible to remove the DAC and digital filter and connect the clock direct to the SAA7310. Did once myself when i removed a 7220 dig filter from a player (clock was connected to the 7220, as usual).
However, the xtal needs to be the 11.xx MHz xtal found in those old philips based players. I cannot imagine that there is nothing connected to pen 26 (unless the 7310 is a DIP version and it is pen 19). Regards,GuidoB

take a multimeter and test if the the 7310's pin 26 (Xtal1 or clock input) is connected to the digital filter's clock output (not to the cristal! look at the filter's datasheet, it certainly has a buffered clock output)
In my CD-62, the 7310's pin 26 seems to be unconnected, but in fact it is, and the PCB trace is under the chip, so not visible |

Kwak-Clock Connection
No problem connecting the clock directly to the SAA7310. See the SAA7310 datasheet, if you are using your own DAC TDA1541 NON-OS. |

Elso, what will happen if he doesn't mod his player for NOS-OS, and connects the new clock to the decoser rather than to the DAC ?
The filter and DAC won't have any 11Mhz clock anymore. The TDA1541A don't need one, but the 7322 and 7350 do |

Continuing Benefits
Health insurance is one of the biggest concerns for employees who lose their jobs -- not to mention their spouses and children. So many of us get our health care coverage through work, and often at a much reduced cost. Federal law gives employees the right to continue their group health insurance coverage after they quit, are laid off, are fired (for reasons other than gross misconduct), or have their hours cut to below the employer's threshold for eligibility. Spouses and family members can also continue coverage for these reasons, or if they lose coverage through the employee in other ways (for example, through divorce or death).
There's a big, big catch to COBRA coverage: You have to pay the full premium, including whatever your employer used to pick up for you. But at least you'll be paying at the employer-negotiated group rate, often much lower than what you'd have to pay for an individual policy.

Current Exhibition
"A Thousand Words"
Works by Artist, Len Davis
Artist, Len Davis explores the interplay between the figurative & literal term consisting of 100 8" X 5" collages incorporated with drawings of peoples' faces executed on text-filled newsprint pages. When looking at a person's facial expression, you can tell how they're feeling at that particular moment. Where as text, words, verbiage and recognizable text/identity marks explains it for you. Either way, we're provided a mental picture from both, which illustrate the fact that "A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words" within... "A Thousand Words."
The Visual Arts Gallery is located in Dearlove Hall.
Visual Arts
Look around the hallways, library and offices on campus, and you will find artistic inspiration.
The SUNY Adirondack Art Collection began in 1999 with a gift of 150 pieces from the estate of poet William Bronk of Hudson Falls and now has more than 1,000 works of art by more than 300 local, national and international artists. The diverse work represents artists from the United States, Canada, Cuba, Italy, Greece, France, Czech Republic, Japan and Russia. Artistic mediums include paintings, drawings, sculpture, prints, photography and mixed-media.
The collection also includes a selection of broadsides by selected American poets.
The Visual Arts Gallery, located in Dearlove Hall since 1984, schedules a variety of exhibitions throughout the year that emphasize creativity, vision and imagination Included are group and solo shows by artists of local, national and international reputation. Each exhibition includes an informative and interpretive brochure. A juried exhibition of student art takes place at the end of the Spring Semester.
The Visual Arts Gallery offers a chance for students to become exposed to the works of artists from within, as well as outside of, the Lower Adirondack and Capital Regions. Receptions, musical performances, lectures and formal dialogs provide the opportunity for the sharing of ideas, opinions and responses that feed a sense of community as well as provide a link for the student to what lies beyond the academic life.
Performing Arts
SUNY Adirondack's Theatre and Music programs offer rich and diverse programming unexpected at a community college.
The Theatre department is known for its professional-level productions of bold and innovative plays. Past productions have included D.W. Gregory's "Radium Girls," a true story of the women factory workers who fell ill from exposure to radioactive paint, and Moises Kaufman's "The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later," a drama tracking the hate crime murder of openly gay student Matthew Shepard.
Catch musical performances each semester by the college's talented faculty and staff, including vocal concerts, instrumental recitals and jazz sessions.
