From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Banda Aceh is the provincial capital and largest city in the province of Aceh, Indonesia, located on the island of Sumatra, with an elevation of 35 meters. The city regency covers an area of 64 square kilometres and according to the 2000 census had a population of 219,070 people.[1] Banda Aceh is located at the northwestern tip of Indonesia at the mouth of the River Krueng Aceh.
The city was originally named Kutaraja, and determined as the provincial capital in 1956.[2] Kuta Raja means "City of the King", in reference to the founding of the Aceh Sultanate from Champa origins. Later its name was changed to Bandar Aceh Darussalam or popularly known as Bandar Aceh, with the first part of the name coming from the Persian bandar (بندر) meaning "port" or "haven". Today the city is spelled Banda Aceh with the lost of "r" in "Bandar". The city is also dubbed to as the "port to Mecca", and Aceh is also referred to as the "porch of Mecca" (Indonesian: Serambi Mekkah), since in the past during the days when the hajj pilgrims travelled by sea, the hajj pilgrim from all over Indonesian archipelago traditionally always make a stop over in the city before continuing their journey to Mecca. It is also known that earliest Southeast Asian Islamic sultanates — such as Samudra Pasai — were first established in Aceh, which means Islam first arrived in Aceh before spreading throughout Southeast Asia.
Banda Aceh was not frequently the subject of international discussion until 26 December 2004, the day the Indian Ocean earthquake struck off the western coast of Sumatra. Banda Aceh was the closest major city to the earthquake's epicenter, and suffered further damage when a tsunami struck shortly afterward. It was the worst hit area out of all the locations hit. 167,000 people died and many more were injured.[3] The tsunami resulted from an earthquake of magnitude 9.3 and struck at about 6:58am.[4] The epicenter was about 155 miles off the coast of Banda Aceh.[5]
One of the unique features of Banda Aceh are the motorized becaks that are found almost everywhere. Unlike traditional becaks, a motorized becak can take passengers anywhere in the city. The fare for riding a motorised becak is relatively cheap and is usually negotiated beforehand.
Transport such as taxis and minibuses (known as labi-labi) is also common.
Sultan Iskandar Muda International Airport is located in Blang Bintang, 13.5 km from Banda Aceh.
Two main highways run out of Banda Aceh to the south. One runs down the eastern side of the province through main towns such as Bireuen and Lhokseumawe to Medan, the large capital of the province of North Sumatra. The other highway runs down the western side of the province through lesser-populated areas to the towns of Calang, Meulaboh, and Singkil. The main bus station called Terminal Terpadu Batoh is located at Jalan Mr. Teuku Muhammad Hasan.
Banda Aceh has two sea ports, Pelabuhan (port) Ulèë Lheuë and Pelabuhan Malahayati.[6]
Pelabuhan Ulèë Lheuë was formerly the main sea port in Aceh. It now functions as ferry terminal. It is located in the Meuraksa area.
Pelabuhan Malahayati, the current main sea port, is located in Krueng Raya, 27 km from Banda Aceh. It now functions as a main freight cargo terminal.

Stories of Science: It's all about the Chemistry
The incorporation of scientific knowledge is not a common convention of story writing. Probably because most writers favour subjects such as English and Social Science growing up but if included, what does science actually bring to a story?
"Nitrogen" by Primo Levi describes the escapades and setbacks of a young chemist as he aims to fulfil a customer's request in perfecting the colour, texture and quality of his lipstick products.
Instead of overloading the reader with exhaustive chemistry theory Levi simply portrays to the reader the inspiring admiration of chemistry that the narrator posses and through this the reader is encouraged to gain an insightful admiration for chemistry.
The narrator even refers to his "chemical alter ego", who is "so in love with digressions", which suggests the nature of the narrator's infatuation with chemistry. That is, it is a part of him rather than his interest.
He also talks about his chemical endeavours using phrases such as "I devoted a day to…" and "it was an adventure" which influences the reader to reconsider any pre-existing notions of chemistry being a boring job where you are stuck in a lab, pipetting one solution into another. Instead the reader is encouraged to sympathise with the trials and tribulations of the narrator like in any good novel.
Another way the narrator's influential appreciation for chemistry is shown through his willingness to literally sort through chicken poo in order to fulfil a customer's request in obtaining alloxan (an organic molecule which makes up 50% of bird excrement and 90% of reptile excrement). The narrator himself claims:
"The fact that alloxan, destined to embellish ladies' lips, would come from the excrement of chickens or pythons was a thought which didn't trouble me for a moment. The trade of chemist… teaches you to overcome, indeed to ignore, certain revulsions that are neither necessary or congenital: matter is matter, neither noble nor vile, infinitely transformable, and its proximate origin is of no importance whatsoever."
The scientific knowledge present in the story alone is not enough for the reader to consider himself or herself an informed expert on chemistry but personally, I don't believe that is the aim of the story. The overall goal of the interwoven science in the story is not purely educational; rather it aims to inform the reader about chemistry in everyday life that they haven't previously considered in an interesting way that inspires them to want to know more. And isn't that the greatest motivator to go out and learn? Simple desire?

In October 2004, when I turned 24 and after having a disappointing end to a long-distance quasi-dating relationship with someone, I came to the realization that I probably wouldn't meet the man for me until after I was 30…until after I stopped looking at every man that I met as a potential husband.
In November 2004, the same teacher friend of mine was invited to a wedding. She was high school friends with the groom and she invited me to go as her guest. I was happy to attend, as I was looking forward to a night of fun and celebration. Little did I know what attending that wedding would mean for me and my future. My friend and I entered the church, and were greeted by two men: one that I recognized and Jon, who happened to be home on leave from Key West, where he was serving in the Coast Guard, and was able to attend his high school friend's wedding. We chatted for a couple minutes, as my friend knew both men, and then found seats in the church. Unbeknownst to be, Jon made a point to sit next to me in the pew during the wedding ceremony. I later learned from Jon that when I walked into the church he said to himself, "That's the quiet girl from the party. What's her name?" While Jon was trying to remember who I was, I thought I was meeting him for the first time. Throughout the course of the night, Jon made a point to be near me, though the pleasantries were short-lived. Between the ceremony and the reception the three of us (my friend, Jon and I) stopped at a local McDonald's. During that time, Jon thought it would be a good thing to tell me about how mean he was to his geometry teacher. Seeing as how I was a math teacher, those stories didn't go over very well and I stopped talking to him, in jest, for the duration of our time at McDonald's. During the reception he asked me to dance and I obliged, thinking, "What will it hurt to dance with him? I'll never see him again." At the end of one dance, after he asked for another, I told him that I wouldn't dance with him until he danced with my friend—the one that invited me to the wedding in the first place. According to Jon, he ran to my friend, grabbed her up from the chair and told her that she needed to dance with him. By the end of the night, when my friend and I needed to leave Jon and I had jokingly planned our wedding, given him a kiss on the cheek and held hands (I thought I was humoring a man who'd had a little too much to drink). At the very end of the night, Jon asked if I would walk with him back to his hotel room (he was staying at the hotel attached to the reception hall that night) to grab his coat. Since it was just a few steps away I went with him. While in the room, Jon asked for my phone number. I gave it to him with the full expectation that he would NEVER call once he was 100% sober. To my surprise, he then asked if he could have a kiss. I told him that he could have one on the cheek. I cupped his head in my hands, turned his face and kissed him on the cheek. I later found out that if I hadn't done that, Jon would have tried to steal a kiss from me!
Much to my surprise, Jon did call me the next week and almost every day after. During that first week of phone calls we made plans to meet the day after Thanksgiving at his mom's house so that he could cook me dinner. Some thought I was crazy to meet this man I had just met. What was intended to be a dinner and movie turned into a 27-hour first date. We ate, we talked, we watched a movie, we talked some more, I met two of his friends, he showed me where he made memories with his grandpa, I met his mother and I said good-bye. A few days after that night, Jon's leave ended and he returned to Key West.
Between Thanksgiving and February 2005, Jon and I spoke every day for at least two hours. There were some weekends where we would need to end our conversation simply to recharge phone batteries. Fortunately for us, Cingular had free mobile-to-mobile minutes, so we were able to speak as often and as long as we wanted. We were so appreciative to Cingular that we actually invited a representative to our wedding. We talked about everything from childhood memories to views on abortion to politics to what we would do if we won a bazillion dollars and everything in between.
In February 2005, Jon came to visit me while he was on leave. We had a wonderful week that was filled with dinners, face-to-face conversation, a dinner theater and a humorous night in what could have passed for a pimp room from the 1980's. At the end of that visit, we had already decided that I would travel down to Florida for my spring break the next month.
In March 2005, I boarded an airplane…alone…and flew to Miami. Since my mom and step-dad spend four months a year in Florida, the plan was that Jon would drive up from Key West, pick me up at the airport, and then we would drive across the state to Anna Maria Island to stay with my parents. I landed in Miami and Jon and I waited in baggage claim for my suitcase. When my bag finally came through, Jon led me to his car, loaded my suitcase, escorted me to the passenger side of the Jeep Wrangler, opened the door helped me in, squatted down (he was parked in a parking ramp), and proposed to me. While my subconscious should have expected the proposal, my conscious-self did not, so I hit Jon and told him to get in the jeep. He was shocked, as he was really hoping for a yes. He took a moment to gather himself, before pulling the ring out of the box, dropping it in the jeep, where he feared that he would lose the ring if it fell through and open drain hole in the floor of the Jeep, and stated, "Fuck." My response: "Not until we're married." Jon found the ring, picked it up, we got it on my finger, he DID get in the Jeep and we began our trek across Florida.
It was an amazing week. We spent time with two of my parents, we visited local attractions, we were able to announce that we were newly engaged and we began to plan our wedding, which was to occur not quite 5 months later. At the end of the week, we drove back to Miami, Jon dropped me off at the airport and I flew home…leaving a part of my heart in Florida, while carrying part of Jon's with me back to Wisconsin.
In May 2005, Jon finally received his discharge orders. He packed up everything he owned into his Jeep Wrangler and drove from Key West to Wisconsin as quickly and as safely as he could. Over the next 3.5 months we planned our wedding and tried to get settled to begin our new life together.
It's hard to believe that it's been so long since our courtship began, and it's amazing to think of all that we've been through since then. We've been through unemployment, huge blows to each of our self-esteems, relocations, house purchasing, family conflicts, stupid fights and resolutions between ourselves, working together on my diabetes, infertility, losing our children, bringing a child home, raising our children and trying to keep our relationship alive all at the same time. Jon and I have had many ups and many downs. We each have moments in our relationship that we're not proud of, but we work together to move beyond those and make ourselves stronger. He believes in me, holds me when I don't believe in myself, supports me to become a better me and makes me want to be a better wife and mother. Jon is, and has always been my soul mate.

Thanks guys! Much appreciated.
So where did Soup place with his catch?

Posted by: TonyCane | July 01, 2015 at 07:40 PM
I absolutely disagree with your simplistic notion and what not. In other words, it's more complicated than some simplistic two-legged ANIMALISTIC take. lmfao
First major point. The programs mentioned above were in ABSOLUTE DISARRAY prior to the arrival of new head coaches ( They were deep in the putrid outhouse DOO-DOO. )!!! Whereas the Hurricanes kept the beastly, nasty, UPPITY football machine running on HEAVY METAL high octane fuel.
Matter of fact, au contraire to what Cane fandom wish to believe. Butch Davis basically KEPT the Miami, Florida Hurricane TOP TEN winning tradition alive. Albeit at a lesser degree of dominance. AND THAT WAS with the lost of " 33 scholarships " and what not.
For instance, if U wish to peruse the Davis seasons. Miami basically was relatively in the Orange and Green doldrums only three seasons**. Then once Davis and staff's recruiting expertise took place. The 2000 and 2001 seasons were the concrete happening fruitions and what not.
1997 5-6
1998 9-3
1999 9-4
The three seasons happen to be the lost scholarship years and what not. Yet Davis and staff magnificently outcoached their opponents in '97, '98 and '99.
For instance, the Butch'er was basically playing with Erickson's players in 1996 and 1995. And Cane fan could basically RATIONALIZE those UNDESIRABLE records on Davis' LACK of head coaching experience. Nothing more and nothing less. Because look at what Davis, and his assistants, surprisingly achieve during those THREE seasons, of probation and scholarship lost. An ABSOLUTELY amazing job beyond the call of duty.
Now in stark contrast, the Golden one basically CHIT his pants in his FOURTH season with a LOSING record and what not. ENTER stage 'right-wing' the recent NFL draft and the VAST MAJORITY of starters in 2014, being Golden and D'Onofrio HANDPICKED recruits.
ACC beat writer Andrea Adelson says:
"Add up the win-loss record of Miami's opponents. That number comes to 97-58, the third-toughest among all schools in the country. Virginia is next at 94-62. Miami faces nine teams that were bowl eligible last season; Louisville seven."
Meant to bloviate empty air... '98 and '99. My bad.
Too bad Adelson doesn't mention if those Hurricane opponents have the MAJORITY of their starters returning this season. Especially starting QB's and what not.
For example, I'm not going to take the time to research those NINE programs. But SEVEN of the nine teams mentioned above. Could have only ten or 11 starters back on both sides of the LOS. Thus it would make Andrea's point lacking grit and what not.
The bottom line is Golden advocates still want to BLAME that Onion Head for the shameful 2014 season. But that's an erroneous delusional belief and what not. Simply because Golden and D'Onofrio were playing with THEIR recruited players and it was his TENTH SEASON as a head coach and what not.
Yeah, yeah the Hurricanes didn't have any depth and what not. LOL But who's to blame for that. Because U Know Who basically RAN OFF all that possible depth ( The kid STARTING at UCLA on the OL, for instance. )!
And the latest CASUALTY is Golden RUNNING off Gadbois ( I can SEE-r it now with Orange and Green peepers. Go cane and allies moaning and groaning. WE don't have no depth on the OL. ).
Excuse, excuses, excuses and more excuses. Because the latest one thrown around the past few months. Is 2015 is Golden and D'Onofrio's SECOND SEASON with Miami. SMH
😳 😂😂😂😂😂
Coach Hoke given his homogay PINK SLIP in his fourth season ( 5-7 ). And may I say deservingly so. Yet the Golden One keeps his job after going 6-7 in his fourth season. Go figure.
Oh. One more thing. The Big Ten was relatively an OVERALL STRONGER conference last season than the ACC. So Hoke has a valid excuse for his troublesome record. LOL
Michigan's POWERS THAT BE say the football program is WORTH saving and what not. Whereas Miami's wise elders tweedle their thumbs and give LIP SERVICE to the state of the program, which put Coral Gables on the MAP!!!
I don't care about lack of depth or injuries and what not. Because if Miami doesn't finish " 8-4 or 9-3 " in '15. Then Golden must go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No ifs, buts or he needs one more season.
I say this because GO CANES posted that his beloved Albert and the players are FEELING REAL GOOD about the upcoming season.
In other words, Golden and associates have an Orange and Green CONFIDENT aura and what not.
My God this guy never stops spewing un-researched, innacurate, hyperbolic nonsense.
I believe it was that Go canes whom said that Phil Steele rated Miami at NO. 20, in his Top 40 preseason poll. But I could be mistaken.
For instance, Mr. Steele has some other team at No. 20 ( Johnny Rebels. ). Matter of fact, both Clemson and Virginia Tech are listed in the TOP TWENTY! Tigers No. 17, Hokies No. 16. Ouch.
Just wondering and what not. But where's Miami at, because Phil's home page doesn't list the Hurricanes.
My God this guy never stops spewing un-researched, innacurate, hyperbolic nonsense.
Posted by: Go Canes | July 02, 2015 at 02:20 PM
And what not.
Has anybody out there purchased Steele's college football magazine yet.
Oh. One more point. Miami, Florida is an early bird point spread favorite over Beamer Ball ( According to Sin City. ). However, Steele ranks Virginia Tech at NO. 16. Something doesn't jive and what not.
Can anybody out there explain the latter notions and what not. Maybe the EXPERT football pundit, Go canes, can ASTUTELY explain the widespread discrepancy regarding Beamer Ball's ranking and Miami being an early bird chalk.
Maybe we'll see a vintage Rafa also.
Posted by: The Dude | July 02, 2015 at 12:14 PM
Rafa is OUT. Wow. To 102nd ranked Dustin Brown.
Holy moly college football can't start soon enough! There's nothing worse then boring summer sports. Thank goodness for team USA at the woman's World Cup because I wouldn't have nothing sports wise to get excited about. Let's go ladies, let's settle the score from 4 years ago and win it all this time!
Wat I can't wrap my head around is that you actually asked if anybody bought a magazine.
People don't buy magazines anymore.
That went out of style about the same time as witch burning did.
And what not.
Good Afternoon everybody.....I am happy to report that I made it back safely from my week long drinkfest in the Domincan Republic.
What a wonderful place to visit (Punta Cana) and would highly recommend it. I though being from Florida, the heat wouldnt be too bad but was I wrong. It's a little warm there. Thank goodness for the pool bar... :-)
Posted by: Lur-ker | July 02, 2015 at 03:04 PM
RE: Salem bonfires of the witches.
Go tell that to the folks in Columbus, Ohio. Because they still purchase Mr. Steele and associates college football rags.
U can go tell that to the folks in Eugene, Oregon or East Lansing, Michigan, or maybe even Lincoln, Hinterlands.
And what about the folks in Roll Tide Roll burgh.
Then there's the folks in the Sunshine state capital small town. They seem to buy those rags and what not.
But then again, seeing that Miami, Florida HASN'T been nationally relevant since 2005. There's a reason for Cane fandom saving their precious dollars and cents. Which makes sense. If U ask me.
Oh. Walgreen's happens to sell Phil's magazine and matter of fact, there's a store one block from moi. So I'll just mosey on down the dusty street and take a quick,peak.
So my bad for bringing ups such mundane trivial matters as college pigskin magazines and what not.

Free agent guard Shane Larkin has agreed to a two-year, $3M deal with the Brooklyn Nets, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.
Just back from Raleigh NC.....saw The Stones at Carter Finley......does not get no better.....nuff said. Those cats are in their 70s and move better, harder and more often than our OL DL!!!!!!!!! They rocked the joint out for 2.5 hours.....If you get the chance see them....that was show #27 for me....seen every tour of North America since 1972 and saw the in Berlin in 1990!
Awesome awesome show the real rock and roll!!!!!
VA - I am going on record and say you are a Stones fan. Buy hey, it's only rock-n-roll and I like it.
I must say I have never thought of MI TAMU and The Ville on our level....they are not our competition or were not for a long time... TAMU beating Bama was nice, but they have never been a huge power....how many titles? Michigan has had some decent teams....but again....titles? The Ville has dominated us....but no titles in sight.....hoops school...but obviously better than us now. We have certainly come back to the pack....and then some.
We have a huge amount of work to get done this year....got to happen. I just do not buy excuses of any kind on any level. The time to talk plan pause reflect is over....its been like that for 4 years now? time to get after it big time or do something different. I hope to see AlPa turn the corner this year. Big year for him, staff, team.
The lines both concern me; not deep or highly skilled as need be....will be the cornerstones...think BK will be a leader for sure....he is impressive. Time to strap the gear on and get ready....we start in a month; are making our final preparations to be sound physically and fundamentally.
Raize they were unreal....but then again they always please never fail. Great band!!!!!!
I agree guys I nod during baseball....soccer...though I really enjoyed our womens team....they are very impressive.....heck I used to love races but without that Black 3....I have faded.
Hell lets play some football!
I enjoy getting a copy each year; read it and learn about a lot of different players teams etc but hey I am just a coach who enjoys knowledge of teams and players I might not see play on TV. Good mag I think, but may not be for all.
How were the drinks raize?

With Yahoo reporting that Heat is seeking meeting with LaMarcus Aldridge, Heat would need to deal Bosh or much of team to make room....
Interesting Mack. Not advocating for or against the current regime. Just comparing our Canes to other programs (excluding UL) that saw similar disarray. But I am curious...what head coach would have eeked out a national championship over the last four years, when the 2010 and 2011 recruiting classes were ruined, and 2012-2013 were affected by the NCAA investigation. Would Saban have gotten us to 14-0. Fischer? Harbaugh? JJ? Davis? Because that is the standard...if not the minimum requirement.
Just hope the Heat don't deal Justice.

Tony I see what you say....I never saw any of them as ever being on our level..MI at one time yes. I feel like though things happened....ruined classes, poor coaching, mediocre average athletes, NCAA....they are things that happened.....but as a football guy they are still excuses to me. We git to go this year.....the talk jive crying excuses complaints finger pointing is over. We have to have a big year....I don't think this regime will be here if it is not impressive. Tony I love all your posts. ..keep them coming!
My very, very favorite is dj moonbat. Can't wait for football season to comeback.
I enjoy and appreciate all of you.....may not agree but I like other opinions...make you think appreciate and learn.
Scary in NC the sharks...people very scared. I am quite fascinated by them. Saw a huge hammerhead up close once whew. I love shark week starts Sunday.
Perhaps when season starts we will vet an OGV take! He is a trip!

Not what i consider the best...you would have to consume alot to get a buzz and there almost to sweet. So at night i drank either beer or Jack D.
Disgusting, Soup. Also makes me extremely sad that certain political groups feel they are so right that they can justify any form of behavior and disrespect. Sounds like they're the ones that are less open and willing to accept people with opinions different than their own.
Wade agreed to deal with Heat.
Posted by: The Dude | July 02, 2015 at 10:56 PM
Can't believe they paid him that much. He's probably worth half that! I would of let him walk!
Thanks, all of you!
Thirsty...I think that they had to for the sake of the future. Not paying Wade would give other free agents pause before signing. It would establish Miami as a cut throat organization, and not the "family" that they and the Spurs portray themselves. It's one of the things that Miami has going for them - family. They took care of Mourning at the close of his career and afterwards. They took care of Heat lifer Haslem. How could they not take care of Wade? It's a short term hit, but keeps the reputation of the franchise quite positive and helps gives them a favorable face when they go after Durant next year.
VA Cane...at least you didn't run into Deep Blue!
Even without any cap space, the Heat has joined a list of teams pursuing Portland Trail Blazers free agent power forward LaMarcus Aldridge.
As Yahoo! first reported, Pat Riley will meet with Aldridge in Los Angeles. Aldridge and Riley will have dinner tonight, ESPN reported.
The Heat has been telling people that it fully expects Dwyane Wade will re-sign. But even if Wade surprisingly left, the Heat still would not have any cap space --- let alone the space for a max offer for Aldridge --- without considerable salary purging.
Signing Aldridge realistically would be possible only with a sign-and-trade with Portland.
Such a deal hypothetically could include Chris Bosh or Wade (which seems HIGHLY doubtful in both cases). More likely, if Aldridge decides he wants to play for the Heat, Riley could try to entice Portland with a package including some combination of Luol Deng, Josh McRoberts, Mario Chalmers, Chris Andersen and possibly Hassan Whiteside.
If he resigns with Portland for purposes of a sign and trade, Aldridge can make $109 million over five years. He could sign for no more than four years and $86 million with another team, without a sign-and-trade.
Two things to keep in mind with a sign-and-trade: A team receiving a player in such a trade cannot be above the tax apron ($4 million above the tax threshold) after the trade. This is do-able for Miami but will require more brilliance from Andy Elisburg, the Heat's sharp GM.
Also, a team receiving a player in a sign-and-trade cannot have used its taxpayer's midlevel exception yet (one reason for Miami to hold off).
A four-time All-Star, Aldridge averaged 23 points and 10 rebounds for Portland last season.
Whiteside will be a free agent next summer and the Heat will need to fit him under the projected $89 million salary cap if he signs for anything more than the league's average salary. That's because Whiteside won't have full Bird rights.
There would be roster duplication at the power positions with Whiteside, Bosh and Aldridge. So trading Whiteside cannot be ruled out in such a scenario. Aldridge doesn't want to play center, but Bosh has been a good sport about doing it when asked over the past five years.
San Antonio and Phoenix are reportedly the top contenders for Aldridge. The Suns sent three players to Detroit today in an attempt to clear salary cap space to sign Aldridge. Besides those teams, Aldridge also has met with Houston, Dallas and Toronto.
The Lakers are having a second meeting with him today. Aldridge canceled his meeting with the Knicks, according to multiple reports.
A Portland assistant coach said at a clinic this week that Aldridge has decided not to return to the Trail Blazers.
Without a sign and trade, there is no way to carve out space to make Aldridge a competitive offer as long as Wade, Goran Dragic and Bosh are on the roster.
But I am curious...what head coach would have eeked out a national championship over the last four years, when the 2010 and 2011 recruiting classes were ruined, and 2012-2013 were affected by the NCAA investigation. Would Saban have gotten us to 14-0. Fischer? Harbaugh? JJ? Davis? Because that is the standard...if not the minimum requirement.
Posted by: TonyCane | July 02, 2015 at 07:58 PM
I don't know about no 14-0, but all of those coaches would've done better than a pathetic 6-7 last season.
No I do not feel anybody would have got us there. While there were sone good players on the team, and I do think a better coaching job would have helped, the team was not much more than an average football team. Good qb good te and wr good back good mlb couple good ol....good.building blocks good talent fundamentals solid in these areas. After that average ol average at best dl, very average secondary, average specials, no depth weak fundamentals. Not a top 30 team....underachieved. Add questionale coaching job all around and you see this is just a team playing football with limited talent, weak fundamentals and depth.....nobody takes this team to top. Hope a good coaching job, hard work, better attitude and fundamentals and some good breaks can result in much more success.
I think so many people really are uptight about who or what they are. The gay activists disrespecting a good president, or Donald Trump spewing hate about what he does not know.....ridiculous...individuals or gruops wanting special attention or status....STFU and concern yourself with equal rights and opportunity for all people. JMO
VA Cane bringing it. Love it Coach. Wish everyone a Happy Independence Day Weekend. Canesspace 4 Life!
What's good Legion/Canespace; here is a possible measuring rod as to whether or not the U will field a good team this year. When was the last time the U red-shirted a good portion of their incoming recruiting class? Also, is there a direct correlation between successful programs and red-shirting most of their freshmen? Happy 4th of July.
I think coaches have done some internal searching lioking to improve, and I think the kids want to suceed. Dont know how they will react, but I am giving a nod and respect to BK. He was quite a surprise as a frosh, has stepped to a leadership role,and appears to be a huge plus to his fellow Canes.....coaches and players! He has a lot of KD11 qualities....and that is never bad. Not saying he is KD11, but if we can add and surround this fine young man with SOME talent similar to what KD11 had ...which was unreal....then we would be a good team. Time to see gang.
Tony the stump is yours regarding Alex' question about correlation between redshirts and success! Good question and I am certain you know the numbers and can share with us!
TY T Sully same to you! Hope you all have great holiday....eat well drink smart and be safe.
Despite all our issues, and a lot of govt red tape, we still live in the greatest country on earth. Thanks to our troops who keep us free and God bless ALL Americans.
Pretty accurate assessment of where we stand (and what not):
The brand: The logo on the helmet hasn't changed, but this is not The U that was one of college football's most powerful brands for two decades. Part of the reason is the school has actively tried to distance itself from the bad boys of college football reputation that went hand-in-hand with that brand since Miami received NCAA sanctions in the late '90s. Another part of the reason is the Hurricanes simply haven't been able to win the way they used to. The program that invented swag doesn't have much at the moment.
What it should be: It should still be possible to create a program at Miami that stockpiles elite athletes and then allows them to enjoy beating the stuffing out of less talented teams—even if it doesn't allow some of the off-field stuff that caused issues in the glory days. Collecting that talent won't be as easy as it was in the 1980s, when coaches from across the country didn't quite understand the kind of athletes Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties produce, but it's still doable. The blah gameday atmosphere at Whatever-They're-Calling-It-This-Week Stadium is a drawback, but Miami has upgraded its on-campus facilities. That's where the players spend most of their time. Plus, more winning would help put some butts in the seats on Saturdays.
GO CANEZ and Happy 4th of July to all
^^^ yeah. Happy 4th and what not.
If the Bosh to Portland rumors are true that would suck, but Aldridge's around the basket game is too good to pass up on.
Not football related, but pretty instructive. Especially if you mess up like I did ...
@CanesFootball: ICYMI: Interview w/Darrion Owens about the season & what he hates about living w/Kc McDermott http://t.co/wPY9WE7qJx http://t.co/BvJbFDjW29
Ima need to get this "what not" copy righted for my client TheeMackJones I see!
I've noted in the past some of the challenges faced by Golden. The first was 2011, having to scramble to rebuild a class that was down to two players when he arrived in December.
The second was the NCAA investigation launched in August 2011. Although State of the U gets the year wrong, the sentiment is probably correct:
"Let's set the backdrop for the 2011 Class. UM was coming off their first season under Coach Golden where they finished 3-5 in the ACC and 6-6 overall. The more significant fact to note though was that they were beginning their journey under the specter of the Nevin Shapiro allegations. All signs pointed to UM being hammered by the NCAA with sanctions and possibly the death penalty (**looking at you Mark May**). Due to the "impending doom" UM was hamstrung when it came to recruiting. Many blue chip recruits shied away from the program due to the allegations so Golden had to pick up the pieces with whatever recruits he could find that wanted to go to UM and compete."
This bears out in the sheer numbers of players that were out of the program within two years of signing with the Canes. Of the 33 players that committed to Golden in the 2011 and 2012 classes, an astounding 21 of them were gone after year one or year two. Three more signees failed to qualify. That's 24 out of 33 players that did not stick. The eliminates veteran depth, and creates a recurring problem of playing players when they're younger (and by comparison, the 2013 class saw only 3 transfers, with 3 additional failures to qualify. The 2014 class had only one transfer.)
That brings us to the final point. Redshirts.
Another quote from State of the U probably describes the situation Miami has faced pretty well:
"When the great debate is made about if a player needs to redshirt or should play right away Armbrister's story is one seen unfortunately too often at UM over the last five years or so. Due to depth issues, specifically because of players being kicked off the team (Eddie Johnson, Gionni Paul, etc.) or injuries he's had to play sparingly too early on in his time at UM, specifically during his freshman season. Because of this he now is a senior when he should probably be a redshirt junior so that he could have another year of eligibility for his learning to continue at a steady pace."
Miami Redshirts
2011: 5
2012: 5
2013: 5
2014: 10
Coaching issues and strategy aside, these were the challenges facing the current regime since 2011. In some respects, 2014 marked the first transition to normalcy under Golden. The 2015 team will be the strongest fielded in several years. And the 2016 will give us the first signing class (since recruiting is a two year process, minimum) that was not in any way influenced by the specter of NCAA punishment. It's also the first time we'll be back to a normal scholarship limit.
In my own opinion, 2015 is equal to a blend of Butch Davis' 1998 and 1999. The two plus year NCAA investigation - coaching strategies aside - had an enormous impact on the program that any coach would have struggled to negate. Bottom line, this year and next year should be a return to form.
The Man speaks! Tony Thank you for your insight! As always spot on!
Quick edit...in 2011 and 2012 it was 21 out of FIFTY TWO players who committed that left within two years, and another four who did not qualify.
And the 2016 will give us the first signing class (since recruiting is a two year process, minimum) that was not in any way influenced by the specter of NCAA punishment.
Posted by: TonyCane | July 03, 2015 at 01:34 PM
What does the "not in any way influenced by the specter of NCAA punishment" term even mean?
IIRC, USC's investigation was as drawn out as ours, and they were still pulling in top rated classes. Yeah their success was more recent than ours when both school's sensation driven Yahoo stories came out, but they were still pulling in top rated classes.
CaneRock, the Reggie Bush investigation was in fact longer. USC was under investigation for four years, while Miami was "just" two years, three months (although if you count the time since the story actually broken locally, it's three years). Regardless, I don't recall at any point where the media was suggesting that USC was going to get the death penalty as the result of the investigation. Sanctions yes, maybe a bowl ban, but not the death penalty.
And that's the difference. While USC recruited in outstanding fashion, it was not credible for rival coaches to claim that the Trojans were going to get the death penalty. For the Hurricanes, this sanction was realistic at least for a time and always remained in the background, especially as we learned the lengths that the NCAA was going to in their investigation.
The link below express some of the shock and surprise in the media when USC got their stiff punishment:
Anyway, that's the key difference. No one thought that USC would be hammered the way that they were. What the Trojans received was almost unprecedented (excluding SMU). The threat to the existence of Miami's program was credible.
As for being influenced by the specter of NCAA punishment, think of it this way. Golden and other college coaches are establishing relationships with kids going into their junior years (if not earlier). The players who were part of the 2015 signing were juniors while Miami was still officially under investigation. The 2016 class were juniors in 2014, when the Miami investigation was closed. The fact that the 2016 class is stronger seems to bear this out.
TonyCane -------> content provider extraordinaire
Great research. Great work. Keep it up!
But TC, USC DID get hammered and still out-recruited Miami. I definitely recall people saying USC should get the death penalty, I can't remember if it was a major media outlet though.
USC was the precedent for Miami, for sure, but the team that got hammered had less damage than the team that was only under speculation of penalty, that doesn't add up to me. The fact to me is this. USC was still recruiting under a CF god in Pete Carroll then to a really good recruiter with program ties in Kiffin. Miami went with an unproven coach that had to learn the job as he went. Had to learn the players, local coaches (and what not). Al was an underwhelming hire, and so far he's been an underwhelming HC.
TonyCane...I hear ya', and I'm not saying you're the first & only one to use that term...BUT I've never heard a post-punishment recruit use that as an excuse for not signing with UM.
That better not be an excuse if Golden posts less than desirable results this year.
I love fishes,
theyre so delicious!
Good article Soup, good to see the Cane family angling for a good cause!
Dem Canes!!!
Just back from Raleigh NC.....saw The Stones at Carter Finley......does not get no better.....nuff said. Those cats are in their 70s and move better, harder and more often than our OL DL!!!!!!!!! They rocked the joint out for 2.5 hours.....If you get the chance see them....that was show #27 for me....seen every tour of North America since 1972 and saw the in Berlin in 1990!Awesome awesome show the real rock and roll!!!!!Posted by: VA Cane | July 02, 2015 at 03:28 PM
Ran away from home when I was 16 to see The Worlds Greatest RocknRoll Band play in NOLA, got a room on Canal Street and logged major carnal knowledge hours, LOL!
Seen em around 9 times, never a bad show.
Dem Canes!!!
TonyCane, thank you for the research; great job. With that information; my next question is which players in this year's signing class is likely to redshirt (86 Cane, maybe this can be like an LOF question)? I know the class was deep with offensive linemen and with the recent departure of Taylor Gadbois and the players that left to the NFL, some of those Frosh are going to play. TonyCane didn't two lettering players on the DL, FS and another DE (suspended) all redshirted last year? Would they count towards the 2014 Freshmen class?
But TC, USC DID get hammered and still out-recruited Miami. I definitely recall people saying USC should get the death penalty, I can't remember if it was a major media outlet though.

I didn't recall seeing speculation that USC would get the penalty, and I remember the shock in the media at how severe the sanctions were. That said, maybe there was national or local speculation that the Trojans would go the way of SMU. I just didn't see it.
Post-sanctions - what USC did was amazing. They only had 15 scholarships per year to offer, and they basically just brought in 4 and 5 star players. Absolutely incredible, and probably without precedent.
Not sure, Alex. I had the following players redshirting (a couple of corrections on the numbers that I posted earlier):
2011 (05): Matt Goudis, Philip Dorsett, Rashawn Scott, Eddie Johnson, Kevin Grooms
2012 (06): Jelani Hamilton, Taylor Gadbois, Rashawn Jenkins, Earl Moore, David Thompson
2013 (05): Al-Quadin Muhammad, Walter Tucker, Hunter Knighton, Ray Lewis III, Kevin Olsen
2014 (14): Ryan Mayes, Marques Gayot, Mike Smith
Demetrius Jackson, Anthony Moten, Juwon Young
Terry McCray, Joe Brown, Tyler Grimsley, Malik Rosier, David Njoku, Christopher Herndon, Darrell Langham, Tyre Brady
It's really hard to say anyone should have recruited like USC under similar circumstances as USC pretty much recruited better than anyone under normal conditions. They are an abnormality. Maybe if Miami had everything going for it they could recruit like that.
Thanks, TonyCane; that explains it. They added Jelani Hamilton, Earl Moore, Rashawn Jenkins and Quad Muhammad to their recruiting classes although they redshirted last year.
UM got credit for doing a great job of recruiting during sanctions and now we're giving that credit back??? Wasn't the basketball program under the same investigation???
Bottom line is this... I just wanna win a ACC Coastal one time before I'm dead...who's out recruited us in the ACC COASTAL???
Maybe if Miami had everything going for it they could recruit like that.
Posted by: The Dude | July 03, 2015 at 05:46 PM
True, that's why I said they had more recent success when their sensationalized Yahoo article came out, than UM.
Had to learn the players, local coaches (and what not). Al was an underwhelming hire, and so far he's been an underwhelming HC.
Posted by: The Dude | July 03, 2015 at 03:06 PM
In case you forgot...your copy righted word is "Toxic"
Also remember that you have diplomatic immunity to say whatever the hell you want on Canespace...on Soup's agreement
I think Golden is finally starting to figure out how to "play the game" (See: extra early offers, offer friends/brothers/counting, etc) when it comes to recruiting SFLA. Up until now, he's relied only on his recruiting skills (which are good), and the UM name to recruit. He's missed on some elite guys because he didn't know how to play the game.
Counting = COUSINS***
Ohio, if he plays the game all the way like several SEC schools do in South Florida, he'll be committing death penalty type violations. Other schools get away with it right and left, Miami will get found out
Who do you think funds all the street agents down here. That's a cottage industry in Florida, and business is good. I mean the cost of doing business for them is a paper sack, other than having to deal with the heavy southern drawl of fat boosters from the deep South
LOL...picturing Southern boosters who look and act like Buford T Justice.

lol, I'm laughing too. It is a stereotype of course, the SEC operators (wealthy boosters with cash) are more sophisticated than that, but are masters at using street agents in south Florida. It's pretty much an open secret on the streets. Nobody talks about it, but even some guys in the media are well aware.
Agreed, Rock. FSU and the SEC would get a pass. Miami would be dealt with for having embarrassed the NCAA in the investigation.

LINDA J. LANG, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT,v.JAY S. MORROS, DEFENDANT-RESPONDENT.
On appeal from Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Family Part, Monmouth County, Docket No. FM-13-260-09C.
Per curiam.
Submitted September 28, 2010
Before Judges Yannotti and Espinosa.
Plaintiff Linda J. Lang appeals from the denial of her post-judgment motion for modification of defendant Jay S. Morros's child support obligation for their one child. We affirm.
Both Lang and Morros are physicians. She is a psychiatrist and he is an emergency room physician. When they divorced in 1998 in Pennsylvania after eleven years of marriage, they had one child, B., then four years old. Their property settlement agreement (PSA), which was incorporated into their judgment of divorce, provided for no direct child support payments. It was agreed that Morros would "pay directly to the provider any and all costs for [B.'s] summer camp or similar program, pre-school program, religious school education, after school activity, ranging from day care to athletics, including equipment, lessons, tutoring and other similar expenses." In addition, Morros was responsible for all unreimbursed medical expenses. The PSA further addressed bar mitzvah and college expenses.
Each of the parties moved to New Jersey. By Order dated October 14, 2008, the court granted Lang's request to register the PSA in New Jersey, denied Lang's request to compel Morros to pay tuition and additional weeks of camp expenses, and required the parties to exchange case information statements and financial information, providing that either may file an application for the modification of support at the close of a thirty day discovery period.
Lang filed a motion for modification of support that sought the following relief:
1. establish Morros's child support obligation, effective August 13, 2008;
2. order defendant to pay child support through probation or through wage garnishment;
3. order that the parties share unreimbursed expenses with Lang responsible for 44% and Morros responsible for 56% of such expenses;
4. order that the parties share the expenses for B.'s summer camp and extracurricular expenses on a 44%/56% basis;
5. payment of arrears within ten ...

Some of you know me on Facebook and see me post longer missives when I am trapped in my head and need to say something. Usually, when I need to make clear something that I cannot voice easily for fear of interruption before the message is complete, or because verbalizing an idea that has so much effect and depth can be very difficult and dangerous.
These two posts are something I feel very strongly about. I would say I feel strongly enough that they need repeated attention. Read then take a day or a few and re-read. Look critically at not only the world immediately around you that you interact with at work, getting groceries, paying your bills, where you play/celebrate, what you do, think, have access to when you are able to be alone with yourself. Dig into assumptions, daily traditions, habits, auto-pilot moments, and the intersectionality of your personal privilege and applicable minority labels that effect you, and each and every one of our lives.
I do not feel I am alone in these beliefs and I hope this resonates with you, too.
To all of the allies out there.
That are loud and "proud" for us queers on social media.
That are shouting love and support from internet rooftops.
I need you to do me a solid.
Along with shouting love and support (I never want to take that for granted) I need you to do something harder. Something that will cause discomfort.
Something that requires intention and directness.
Something that may put you at an emotional risk.
Something that I need you to be strong for.
I need you to engage those around you, in your daily life, and educate, debate, help people that have fears, help people that brush us aside, help them understand.
Show them the pain and terror of this attack as if it was made against thier immediate family.
Show them how much silence hurts.
Show them that their language matters.
Show them … Help them… Help us all.
We need people outside of our community to acknowledge that the hate our community endures could be hate transferred to any number of protected groups, classes, religions, ethnicities…
Take your praises of love and support and turn them into action. Initiate discussion, debate with intent, create interaction instead of silence in quiet corners, expand awareness by the water cooler, find another ally at the mechanics, start a town hall with kids at the mall. Acknowledge the history of hate we have survived thus far and take active steps to change the views in your communities.
Everywhere non-LGBTQ people are (so, basically everywhere) is an opportunity to have dialogue, to make something more than a "small talk" conversation to fill the silence.
Be a an *active* ally. Do more than shout off internet rooftops into the melee of hundreds and thousands of voices already yelling about something from their internet rooftops.
Hopes and prayers and changing your avatar on social media will not enact change. Educating and bringing awareness in people will. Making our community reality clear to those that don't see will.
That is my request.
Touting white pride or straight pride as equality speech is farcical and impossible. You cannot equate the power and privilege of a majority seeking an equality of speech action, when the entire system of society is built around and for the benefit of these majorities.
When those of minority groups speak up with unity, pride, inclusion, visibility, it is because there is *not* equality. These minority groups are a smaller part of the populace and are sick and tired of being discriminated against. Stop threatening them. Stop attacking them. Stop denying them access to basic civil rights. Stop killing them. Stop denying them their religious beliefs. Stop denying them care.
Stop it with the "white pride" and "straight pride" B.S.
You have every day, of every year, in every place in America to be white/straight. You are not at risk for hate, abuse, job loss, denial of medical coverage, violence, shunning from your families and communities for just being the person that you were born as.
Let those that were born different live their lives. Believe it or not, there are A LOT of people out there that are different from you. Maybe you can see the difference, maybe you cannot. It is not for you to judge. Their actions in their lives have no direct effect on your actions in your life. Focus on improving your life and your home and leave others to theirs. A family is a family because of heart, soul, love, commitment, not fleshy bits.
If you continue to tout equality by way of white pride and straight pride, you are actually advertising that you have too much privilege and need less because you are not on equal ground. You are in a privileged state.
This region/nation/world is big enough for everyone to be equal without all the hate, violence, racism, bigotry, homophobia… So stop pissing in the pool.
Please, take a moment to reply. I would love to hear what steps you take to be an ally. Tell me how you work to help minorities gain more respect and quality of any kind.Your responses can inspire others to try new ways to make a difference.

WCOE Welcomes Deputy Secretary Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall to Gala Celebration
A night of celebration was held on Monday, March 30 as WCOE presented awards and hosted speakers. The Mobius Award for Influential Woman in Government was presented to Deputy Secretary Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall.
Deputy Secretary Sherwood-Randall commented on another award recipient, Senator Mikulski, who was one of only two women in the Senate when the Deputy Secretary was just starting out as a foreign and defense policy advisor for then-Senator Biden. "She has been a trailblazer for so many of us, and has fought on behalf of women for decades."

I will tell you that we didn't do any princesses…shocker, I know. Every year it seems we've had at least one princess pumpkin. Not this year folks. And there were also no superhero pumpkins or any pumpkins with cartoon characters on them.
Mr. Chaos did a smiley pumpkin. He was pretty proud of his pumpkin.Little Miss….she did
a kitty cat. Which is her favorite animal. If only Mr. Chaos wasn't "allergic," we would probably have 10 because that's how much Little Miss loves her kitty cats. I say "allergic" because this hasn't been proven. I'm thinking of locking him in a room with a cat and we'll see what happens. Just kidding…kinda…OK not really. Me and the girl…we need a cat.
Little Man chose
And I carved my favorite animal ever
A spider…which is not my favorite animals ever. It's actually one of my least favorite animal ever, even beating out snakes as my least favorite. Spiders give me the creepy crawlies. But it is Halloween and spiders are most definitely a part of Halloween.
Happy Halloween everyone! Stay safe and have some fun!

The EvictionSaturday, February 01, 2014
I didn't know that it will be like this. That there will be a nomination and eviction night even when we already have a contract. Well, that's what life is. We don't know much. I don't consider my work a job yet. why? 'cause we're getting paid to study, to learn. we're not taking real calls yet.
So, as I was saying, some of my 'classmates' were eliminated. They failed the 102 items examination. an open notes examination. And our trainer gave them a chance to retake the exam and then still there are four who failed. RJ, Rome, Emz, Ceepee.
I didn't know anything much about RJ but he's gay. We never really talked during the training, he's far from me. But not for Rome, Emz and Ceepee.
Rome was a graduated of Psychology in Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa. Amazingly a classmate of Cathy. we only talk together when going home. We rode the same jeepney and PNR. He's from Katarungan.
Emz is a mother of 3 Children. she has a relationship with a foreigner and one day split up. She stayed in Singapore in a while and went back to the Philippines. She's the most dramatic person in the elimination round. Well, she has nuggets to feed. I'm really sad seeing her crying while she walk out of the room after she talks to our trainer. She's my 'mother' in the class. She always take me away from my 'ate' sTiff and they will argue then I'll end up with my old sister. She's funny, an entertainer type of person and has lots of stories to share with. Surely I'm going to miss her.
Ceepee was a former manager in a restaurant abroad. in his late 40s he got fired because the management wants a change in the company. Starting from the top. I think he's the oldest in the class. He gets my respect. I really salute him even though we don't really talk that much. I like his attitude also. He's so positive. He also surprised me after he got the result of the elimination. He smiled at me and asked me about my number. I gave it to him then he told me why he wants my number.. "cause your kind you're a good person" I'm touched. I told him I'm not. He insist.
leaving the workplace that day is quite hard.
I want to comfort them and stay with them in the last day in the company.
but I had to go..
I gave RJ an arms on his shoulder. An encouragement for Rome. To mommy Emz, a big hug. A pretty long handshake, look in the eyes and tap on the shoulder to Ceepee.
3 weeks? I'm going to miss them. I'm hoping to see them some day.

I had a call from a recruiter this morning and the call went the usual way unit the big. question. What did you make at your last job? Now I don't like to answer that question. The first thing recruiters and HR types want to seem to do is put people "in their place. The funny thing is that the last thing I would do is judge the value of somebody because of what somebody I didn't know thought of them. I can't understand how these people are so willing to do something that is so stupid. Somebody, who they don't know opinion matters so much that they are willing to go to any length to get it. Then they discriminate, or not, based on that opinion?
You know, for just about anything else other than salary, that would be illegal. For good reason. That battle was fought and is over and while I don't like some of the things that came out of it, I don't have a problem with not being able to discriminate about anything in a work situation other than the ability to do the job.
Frankly, by any reasonable standard I am worth far more than what I was paid at my last job. Circumstances worked against me and I didn't get the raise that I deserved when the added responsibilities and tasks were dumped on my desk. I didn't think to ask for a promotion when the added responsibilities were added because titles don't mean that much to me and just working was enough in the economy in 2011. That was a mistake, but humans make mistakes. mostly because the are afraid.
I've been taken to task for asking why recruiters and companies need salary information to make hiring decisions. In fact they were both rather rude about it. But for all their anger they never actually answered the question. What they don't realize is that I've already heard all the usual answers as have multiple people in LinkedIn who are in similar circumstances. Mostly by people who seemingly are willing to fight to the death over that stupid little number. The explanation that it's determination of somebody's worth to their previous employer seems to be at the core of the whole thing. The problem is that how much somebody got and what somebody else thought somebody was worth is about the worst way to figure out how much somebody is worth to you. First of all, the previous somebody may have taken advantage to the candidate. Or the candidate was desperate and then didn't feel comfortable asking for a realistic offer. There are a lot of reasons why somebody might be underpaid that have made that choice at the time. Now you want to chase that bad choice forward into their lives? Simply to save some money?
By barring companies from asking prospective employees how much they earned at their last jobs, Massachusetts will ensure that the historically lower wages and salaries assigned to women and minorities do not follow them for their entire careers. Companies tend to set salaries for new hires using their previous pay as a base line.
It's not just women and minorities, it's anybody who takes a low salary and never gets a raise. Then you are stuck. The companies work very hard to keep you in that undervalued box they like so much, no matter how much you try to avoid it. Make one mistake and pay for it for a very long time. I'm not even sure that they realize how this taints the work relationship.
Then there's the issue of trust, or the lack of same. It's obvious that employers don't trust their employees, why should we trust them? They insist that we trust them implicitly while demonstrating by their action that they don't trust anybody and are themselves untrustworthy.
It's been admitted that the hiring system is failing, in spite of all the reasearch they were doing. All the tools they buy. The term "f—ing psychopath" keeps coming up. Bad hires seem to be epidemic. The problem is that all the research in the world could not have prevented that. I've seen it happen other places. The best candidate in the interview, the one that looked the best on paper is the one that plays the game the best. Which means that the behavioral interview plays right into hands of those who can mold themselves into the shape that the interviewer wants. The real hard worker types take those questions seriously and bodge the interview.
Unfortunately those are also the most likely to have the tednency to create a fiction to fit what the interviewer wants rather than their real selves. If you want the best worker you have to go outside the box.
When things go sour it's all too easy to blame the poor person who can't defend themselves. All too easy to abuse people when they can't really fight back. It's so easy to punch at the job seeker. It seems like people just can't avoid the temptation
Of course somehow the poor job seeker is always supposed to be concerned about anything that might offend anybody at any time, especially the special snowflakes in HR and corporate management who might take offense. Where have we seen that before.
I have a choice, I can either try to fit myself in a box that some other person wants to put me in, even though I can never know the true shape of the box or I can be the honest and capable person able to to great things for people. The reality is that I can't live as a result of somebody's else's fears, even if I knew what they were. I am not a purple squirrel
The fact is that the hiring system has all the bad issues that we are supposedly fighting in SF. Only the stakes are far higher for more people. What we have now is a system that is trying to hire people by punching the right holes in an IBM card and fit them in the right slot. It's a 20th Century hiring system glossed, but still failing in the 21st Century.
A system that can't fulfill the requirements of anybody. Not only are people not finding work, jobs are not getting filled. I could understand if the companies were filling jobs. They are not though. All too often that is reflected in just about every field with ever lengthening unfilled positions. Along with a general feeling that the system has broken down.
Maybe I shouldn't say these things. Maybe I should just cave about the salary thing even though apparently enough people complain about the intrusivness that it's becoming a bipartisan in total agreement that asking the question about salary should be banned. The law has already passed in Massachusetts and more than likely it's up in other states. There must be a reason for that. One thing to remember is that the people on the other side don't care what you are worth, they just care how little they can get you to work for.
In the end a new job is about the future, not the past. maybe if people worked that way and stopped trying to base future results on past performance the system would start working again. You shouldn't wait for the system to start working again. It's better to find your worth and do that. Don't be afraid like the HR weenies and rest to think outside your box. You are worth more than you think.

Ahhhhh, I bet you'll plan better next time. Are you sure this isn't just Superman gone a awry? Ha
Seriously, how did you get an HDR of yourself lying face down? How many images is this? I like how the corner of the pool makes an arrow and points straight to you. Great composition.

Virginia 14, Southern 2
LAKE CHARLES, La. - Southern was limited to one-hit during a 14-2 loss to Virginia during the McNeese State Cowgirl Classic. It was the only game played during the day as rain forced cancellation of the remainder of Saturday's slate of the tournament.
Sydney Andrews drew a walk and eventually moved to third thanks to back-to-back wild pitches. After Jamani Greer drew a free pass, Elizabeth Donaldson brought Andrews home as the Jaguars drew first blood. The Cavaliers (2-3) took the upper hand after Lacey Smith hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the first. Southern looked poised to respond in the second as Shauna Knighten reached on an error and moved to second via wild pitch.
Southern (2-1) loaded the bases after Tiara Scott walked and Andrews was hit by a pitch, but Kiara Suttles flied out to center to put a halt to the chance. From there, Virginia put the contest out of reach during a second inning where the Jaguars allowed nine runs on four hits. Virginia added two more runs, but Southern managed another score in the fourth after Alison Walton scored on a passed ball. However, the Jaguars left the bags loaded in the inning.

Aubrion James was credited with the loss, dropping to 1-1 after being chased following 1.2 innings of work where she allowed six runs on five hits (five earned runs).

Richard's Year of Movies — Casablanca
June 10, 2010 2 Comments
Thanks to our friend Alex, we rectified a glaring hole in my wife's cinematic repertoire — she'd never seen Casablanca.
But in a way, she already had. It's been a while since I've watched it, and it's astounding when you realize how much of that film has seeped into the popular culture. Hannah remarked on how many lines she already knew, but that she never realized came from the film. You've got "Here's looking at you, kid," "We'll always have Paris," "Round up the usual suspects," "I'm shocked, SHOCKED to find gambling going on in this establishment," "Of all the gin joints in all the world…" and "Play it again, Sam, " even though that's not the actual line. It's one of those rare films where people who've never seen it can probably give you a fair synopsis just from the bits they've seen over the years.
What struck me this time was how much Claude Rains rules in this movie. The guy is just charismatic as hell, and looks like he had the time of his life playing the role. The absolute glee with which he wanders around Rick's club knowingly tweaking all the shady characters is a joy to watch, especially since we know he's not too many notches above them. It's a great performance.
I also love the way the film just drops you into Casablanca and the chaos of the city. People trying to get out, people trying to take advantage of them, they're all sketched brilliantly and efficiently, and it doesn't hurt that there's tons of great character actors like Peter Lorre and Sidney Greenstreet to liven things up. It really creates a sense of the place, without which I don't think the story (which is fairly ordinary) would have been as memorable. Throw in Bogart at his most magnetic and an absolutely stunning Ingrid Bergman and you can't help but be wrapped up in it.
Hannah whipped up a little pseudo-Moroccan feast for the evening and we sprawled out on the floor with pillows and blankets and tried to make with the decadence. Of course, we had the AC on, so it wasn't quite the exact Middle Eastern experience, but it was 87 degrees and some concessions had to be made. After the movie, talked turned to other classic films Hannah and Alex hadn't seen, and I can see I have my work cut out for me. But next time, it's our turn to educate Alex, as she's never seen Singin' in the Rain. For that one, we may break some pipes so it's raining in the apartment.

Nowhere To Hide
I started my Christmas shopping last week. So far, I've bought almost everything online, and the packages are starting to roll in. Three packages came in Saturday's mail, three more came today, and I'm expecting almost a dozen more in the coming weeks.
Now, I have the daunting task of finding clever places to hide everything from the prying eyes of Lucas. I know that boy rummages through drawers and cabinets. I am no longer able to hide chocolate from him. He always finds my stash, sneaks a few pieces, and leaves behind an empty Hershey's bag.
So, where to hide everything. Hmmm... Sock drawer? Nah...too common. Anyway, my sock drawer is bulging to within an inch of its life. I have my mother-in-law to thank for that!
Under the bed? Up on the high closet shelves? In the trunk of the car? Locked in the spare room? Again...too common. Too boring. Too obvious. Besides, a suddenly locked bedroom door would arouse suspicion among the youngest members of the household...one of whom has trained himself to pick the interior door locks with a miniature flat-head screwdriver.
I want to hide everything well, but not too well. We have watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation five times since Thanksgiving. And I am reminded of the attic scene where Clark is hiding presents and he discovers a forgotten, dust-covered Mother's Day gift that Mom apparently never received. That could easily happen to me. I could hide the presents so well that even I forget where I put them.
Case in point: I was thinking about concealing the smallest items in the pocket of a jacket that never gets worn. Or I could jam a few things in an empty VHS sleeve, or in one of the boys' old lunch boxes that no longer gets used. But the trick would be to remember which jacket, which tape case, and which lunch box holds the Christmas cache.
A bigger chore is finding adequate hiding places for the large gifts. I ordered a few such items that are due to be delivered any day now. How am I going to conceal those oversized cartons? Stick them in the corner of the closet under a heap of old clothes? That just might have to work.
Common sense dictates that gifts should be hidden in areas where the recipients never go. Around here, that would be the cleaning supply cabinet. I hope the boys don't mind if their new goodies smell like Lemon Pledge.

I can see your dilemma. I've rushed through wrapping all the toys so the kids won't look at them and ask to play with it. I guess when they get bigger, they will want to peek.
Good luck finding a hiding place. I would probably hide it in plain sight and just threaten no peeking on pain on not getting to play with any loot till June next year. LOL!

When you retain the services of movement photos on-line from prompt movie streaming answers you typically have up to 30 situations to get began viewing Arvind Pandit your movie and 24 to 48 quite a few hrs to notice it as usually as you like. Although the latter may perhaps be shut in cost to what you are presently spending out at your regional video clip shop, you will have to have to variable in equally points 1 and two (Vary, Availability) and, considerably more importantly, level four which is "Usefulness".
6. Flexibility. When you lease motion pictures on the net, all sellers present effortless to use internet websites that make it possible for for you to research for flicks alphabetically, by type, by 12 months, by director, by actor, by score and considerably a lot more. And they frequently will not have a terrific offer in the way of International Language flicks, Documentaries or additional obscure motion pictures.
1. Most tiny towns or neighborhoods might only have a number of video clip rental vendors for you to select out from and most with far more or substantially much less the identical collection and pricing. 3. It can be a little bit disheartening to travel out only to find the film you had your coronary heart set on is often out.
Potentially it is time you employ movies on the net!
two. Your nearby movie retail keep very likely will not likely be ready to retain a match to that variety of variety.
nine. Looking. In all but a several scarce exceptions, the motion picture you want is commonly provided. You can maintain on to them for moments, months or months and mail them back once again when you are accomplished. And what if you're heading out on a freeway trip or to the cottage for a weekend - 24 hour rental durations just you ought to not lessen it for a good deal of us. When you employ the service of videos on line, you have added selections at your disposal. Your community on line video clip outlet or benefit preserve will under no circumstances ever be as simple for you as when you use films on line. Prompt movie streaming solutions like Netflix have no limitation on how pretty a number of subscribers check out person movement photo titles. None of them have lengthy time period contracts to bind you to their provider.
7. And what about the true rental price? $three or considerably far more for each motion picture rental? Every individual with a cable or satellite membership has obtain to shell out-for just about every-glimpse at film rentals, and the notion is fairly appear to be. You are entirely totally free to choose for a DVD by mail or swift motion picture streaming supplier and if you truly you should not like their assortment or support you can consider out out a host of other suppliers. Room is at a high high-quality for these guys so they can only pay for to have a number of copies of new releases jointly with a smattering of more mature motion picture rental titles on hand at any time. Alternatively, they commonly set a cap on how fairly a several DVD flicks you can seek the services of at 1 time. Browsing for film titles can obtain several hours if you are undecided. When you seek the services of video clips on line for down load or to seem at instantaneously, you have a myriad of choices as significantly as devices go. The relaxation of their catalog will possibly be structured alphabetically or by type or not at all. You can enjoy on Net enabled TVs, BluRay avid gamers, gaming consoles these styles of as Wii - Xbox - PS3, Laptop computer, Mac, tablets and other handheld models. If you have been fortuitous plenty of to have a more substantial movie clip rental retailer that experienced many copies of new releases and numerous quantities of DVDs on hand, there was a fantastic prospect you could learn movies to match definitely absolutely everyone. Foundation line - procuring for an on line movement photo rental from your personal computer, tablet or Tv established suggests you hardly ever at any time have to leave the house for movie night as soon as again. This is in individual useful when leasing kid's flicks as, we all know, they could view the incredibly very same movie numerous cases a working day for occasions on close.
For starters, large box stores these types of as Blockbuster have been pushed out of the bricks and mortar online video clip rental organization to glance for salvation on line. If you hire films on the internet from prompt movie streaming or DVD by mail vendors, you will typically have accessibility to where ever from a handful of thousand up to eighty,000+ film and Television titles to pick out from. If you lease videos on-line, your favorites are almost always offered.
Why? Quite effectively, to some degree than function on about on the internet motion picture rental and why it truly is the best variety for you, let for me to state my circumstance with the pursuing document of ten Will cause It is Time For You To Lease Films On the web!
And, nevertheless this is supposed to be a list of ten brings about to rent video clips on line, here is a individual considerably much more. I know this form of falls underneath "Selection" but the simple fact is, most more compact on-line online video shops just will not stock Seasons of your favorite Television set established exhibits. But a handful of issues have transpired contemplating the simple fact that all those people times that have rendered on the web video rental suppliers all but out of day.. Choice. No late rates - ever! This is a big just one particular for me and most very likely for you as properly. I'm not unquestionably confident the gain is nicely really worth that noticeably a lot more.
4. 1 enjoyable point about on the website movie rentals when browsing your provider's website is the potential to observe trailers, read as a result of viewer views and fairly a couple also supply you a recommendation attribute that will source you with similar titles for you to look at out out.
In addition, up coming functioning day returns and the inconvenience that it indicates, generally finds us racking up late expenses that frequently would have labored out much more cost-effective for us if we would acquired the DVD as a substitute. Choosing a movie to seem at on the internet is a cinch.
5. On the DVD by mail part, they by no means have owing dates or late expenses. Availability. For most of us, our on-line movie suppliers are really small a ton much more than corner comfort shops with a a number of hundred flicks on hand at any time. And on the world wide web movie rental vendors are open up 24/seven which suggests, you can seek the services of films on the net at any time you want, day or evening, from just about anyplace. Interactive possibilities. Granted, not all remedies make it doable for you to stream on all of these products, but you certainly are not negligible to just viewing on your Tv set.
There was a time, in the not so distant prior, when a journey out to your nearby online video retail keep with the husband or wife and young children was a weekly or every month offer with. When you lease films on-line from DVD by mail services, they generally have membership plans that permit rather a couple DVD rentals, some even limitless, for every 30 day period for monthly expenses as smaller as $5.ninety five.
