Pages 67-73 Summary
It is the afternoon. Zuckerman questions himself about why he is in Prague and why he has to secure the manuscript. He wonders if the manuscript is even that good and if retrieving it is worth the trouble. Olga and Zuckerman have a conversation. She says she wants to marry him. He wants the stories. He offers her $10,000 for the stories. She says nothing is worth it. He says she does not care about literature. She says she loves literature, but not as much as keeping things from Sisovsky. Olga says Sisovsky will publish the stories under his own name, not his father's. Zuckerman says he can make sure that does not happen. He offers for her to marry one of his friends, but she wants to marry him.
Olga says Zuckerman wants to be a hero to the Jews&mdash...

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl toss the mushrooms in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Lay the mushroom caps out on a rimmed baking sheet, stem side up. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir the crab, cream cheese, green onion and some salt and pepper together in a mixing bowl.
Preheat the broiler.
Divide the stuffing among the baked mushroom caps without filling them too tightly. Top each stuffed mushroom with some green onions, chives, shredded Parmesan and broil for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the stuffing is heated through.

The National Cotton Council is urging cotton industry members and farm equipment operators to help prevent boll weevils from getting into areas where the insect pest has been eradicated.
The boll weevil has been eradicated from most Southeastern states and from Arizona and California, but some weevils occasionally re-infest these areas by hitchhiking on cotton pickers and other farm equipment being transported between eradicated and non-eradicated cotton production areas. Most times, for example, the weevils are in cotton bolls that have not been removed from the harvesters.
"Before moving equipment, it should be inspected and cleaned to prevent these weevils from hitchhiking into the eradicated areas," said Missouri cotton producer Charles Parker, who serves as chairman of the Council's Boll Weevil Action Committee. "Those in the eradicated areas receiving such equipment should inspect it as well. We can ill afford to allow outbreaks of boll weevil, especially where the pest already has been eradicated."
Since the boll weevil has been eradicated from most of the Southeastern states, some expensive reinfestations have occurred - and data strongly suggest these were due to weevils harbored in cotton equipment being transported from parts of the Cotton Belt where the boll weevil is still a major cotton pest, according to Jim Brumley, executive director, Southeastern Boll Weevil Eradication Foundation, Inc., (SEBWEF), Montgomery, Ala.
Those states include New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Louisiana, Tennessee and Mississippi. All cotton-growing states east of the Mississippi River are now part of the SEBWEF. However, some areas, such as West Tennessee and the western half of Mississippi, have just begun or are in the midst of the eradication process and should still be considered potentially boll weevil infested areas.
Equipment operators based in infested areas, and those traveling to those areas to do custom harvesting, are being urged to inspect and clean equipment prior to it being transported into the Southeast and other eradicated areas.
Likewise, growers in the eradicated areas need to do the same to equipment before they bring it in, such as for custom picking at harvest time.
"Inspecting this equipment will protect growers' investment in the eradication program," Brumley said.
"A recent study revealed that more than $5 million has been expended in the Southeast to stamp out these outbreaks. We need full cooperation from producers inside and outside the eradication zones to prevent a resurgence of the boll weevil, to keep it from becoming an economic threat again."
Brumley noted that each cotton producing state where the boll weevil eradication program is in place has agricultural department regulations which prohibit the importation of any articles that harbor boll weevils. He said these regulations are almost impossible to fully enforce, though, given the random movement of farm equipment.
However, state agricultural regulatory offices can help. For assistance, contact: Alabama, 334-240-7227; Florida, 352-372-3505; Georgia, 404-651-9486; Mississippi 601-325-7771; North Carolina, 919-733-3933; South Carolina, 864-646-2130; Tennessee, 615-837-5136; and Virginia, 804-786-3515, SEBWEF headquarters, 1-800-269-9925 or the local boll weevil eradication program office.
Brumley said that upon being notified of equipment movement, SEBWEF personnel would provide proper cleaning instructions and follow up with an inspection of each piece of potentially infested equipment.

We may be calling it prematurely, but so far, this year is off to an amazing start for us 'Gators. In January, we surpassed all of our previous sales records! We have a new record for sales on both a single day and for an entire month. I wish I could be more excited, but we are having one very serious problem.
STAFFING. Or rather, the lack of it.
Every day I wake up to read about thousands of Americans being laid off of work. Unemployment is hitting new highs in America and yet I'm being forced to, once again, slow down HostGator's growth due to the lack of qualified employees.
It's almost as if America's recession needs to be a full blown depression (If we're not already there), in order for us to find the employees we are in desperate need of.
If you are a qualified Linux or Windows system administrator in America, on unemployment, and fail to apply for a job with HostGator, you should know that you are a leech on society. There are millions of Americans out there doing everything that they can to find a job and keep themselves from starving to death while we are here begging for you to apply with us!
If you are too lazy to fill out our online job application (doesn't take long at all), then post a comment and I'll personally get in touch with you. If you live in another state, we'll even provide up to $5,000 for relocation assistance to our office in Houston, TX.
The United States of America used to be the land of opportunity, but we have now become the land of bailouts and handouts. A couple days ago, I had to go to the county tax collector's office and I couldn't help but notice that the line wrapped outside of the building. A few months ago, I went to the Department of Motor Vehicles and it ended up taking three hours to get to the front of the line. It has been a while since I've been to a post office, but I can't recall one time in my life the line wasn't at least twenty minutes.
How is it we have millions of people who are either under employed or unemployed and every time I need to get something done with the government I usually end up waiting hours? I paid thousands at the tax collectors office and the DMV sure doesn't do anything for free.
What about the millions of Americans receiving checks without having to do any work at all? Call me crazy, but I believe some of those people should be put to work for the money they are getting paid. I was in line with over fifty tax payers for about three hours at the DMV. If you added up how much money we all made per hour you would find that the government wasted thousands of dollars worth of our time. The DMV could even make some type of priority line that charges an extra fee. I would have gladly paid $10 bucks more to cut the line. This would create more jobs, more revenue, and saved me from wasting hundreds of dollars of my time.
There was a former HostGator employee, we'll call him Derek. He worked part-time for us at around 20 hours a week. One day, when things got busier than normal and we asked him to stay a bit later to help out. Derek quickly said he was unable to and made sure to leave on-the-dot. This made sense when later we found out that he was collecting welfare checks and if he worked over 20 hours he would have made "too much money" to where he wouldn't receive his welfare check!
Millions of people are out of work and everyone is saying how bad the economy is, which I won't argue. Yet, it's close to impossible to get someone on the phone and when you do it's usually a fifteen minute hold. HostGator's hold times aren't what we hope for them to be at the moment and that's why were hiring!
Bank of America recently announced that they will be laying off 30,000 to 35,000 employees. I went to a local branch two days ago to do a wire. The wire cost me $25 and I had to wait 40 minutes to be helped. The time before that I went to a different branch and I waited about a half hour for service. In fact, I can almost guarantee that any time I walk into a BOA, I'll be waiting about a half hour. It seems to me they should be hiring instead of firing. But that's not how it works when CEOs and executives pillage a company blind. The little guys get screwed while the big time crooks live the good life.
Bernard Madoff, the man who stole over $50 BILLION from charities, business owners, and now bankrupt individuals, is currently under house arrest in his $7 million dollar Manhattan apartment. What the government need to do is a public hanging and then broadcast it on TV. We should all be rioting in the streets that he is still living a life of luxury with stolen money. We need more accountability in America and that's never going to happen with bailouts and handouts.
I tend to agree with most everything you have said. My mom actually just got fired this week from a job of 9 years. It seems the bank wanted to outsource her work to another company because it would save them money, when in fact it's probably going to cost them more to train employees, transfer all of the files and data, and then to fix the mistakes that my mom had to learn throughout the 9 years.
Stupid decisions by banks, so now she is on unemployment, though I think with good reason, and is actively searching for another job. So I do agree that people that receive welfare checks should get MUCH less than they receive now and for a LOT less time. They need to actively find a job because there are tons of them out there, just because the media says there isn't doesn't mean it's true.
I'll stop rambling now though :P
Years ago I worked as a bartender in NYC after getting laid off and most of the money I received was in cash tips. I was making more as a bartender than my previous job. Most people told me that I should be collecting unemployment too. I told them that wasn't fair since I was doing well. There response was always "Well, you paid the money for the benefits, you should take them".
The problem is most people think it is ok to cheat the government, cause you pay taxes. Of course when you cheat the government, you are simply cheating the rest of us, as well as yourself.
Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!
Very well put, I could not agree with you more. It is time for America to stop with the handouts and time for this country to get back on our feet, back to work, and stimulating our own economy.
Just want to say thank you for writing this. I enjoy your blog. Well said.
I am sorry you are having difficulty finding employees. How are you getting the word out? I'm guessing you tried newspaper want-ads, monster.com, or craigslist?
I am expert in website designing and development activities. I need online work. what should i do?…. Can you offer me some online job work….
Hi Mark,
We do EVERYTHING. Craigslist, banners on webhostingtalk saying were hiring, conventions, tech meetups, monster, careerbuilder, etc etc.
It seems we spend more time and money now a days advertising that were hiring then we do on selling services.
Just yesterday I got back from attending the parallels / plesk convention. We had a booth there with one purpose and that was to steal employees from our competition attending.
Irfan we most likely would hire you but that would require you work in house out of our houston office. If this is possible please email me at brent@ hostgator.com
Dear Brent Oxley,
I have all infrastructures for work. I can work in house.
Hi Brent!
I enjoyed your article very much and even enjoy your hosting services even more! As a new customer to HostGator I was blown away by the savings and quality that I receiving by making the switch. I liked the company so much I even applied! Even my older brother applied as well! we have family friends in Houston so relocating was definitely an option. Unfortunately, we have yet to hear back. we both hold bachelor degrees in Computer Science and a have a handful of skills to become an asset to this wonderful company.
Thanks so much!
A Happy customer & Hopefully a future employee!
Baha Khalil
Please view my resume on my website at your convenience.
Hi Baha I've sent you an email. Irfan I'm really sorry we are only hiring in house people at this time.
Hi Brent,
I received your email as well. In our article above it state you are short on staff. Does that mean there are entry level positions available where someone could eventually work their way up the ladder to system administration or find their niche? HostGator sounds like a great oppurtunity and company to work for.
I believe what you'd be looking for then is: http://www.hostgator.com/technical-support-representative.shtml
I myself started in that position and worked my way up!
Hey Brent,
Have you ever thought of opening other offices in another state like NJ for example?
As a 41 year old ex Support Manager of several software companies, the larger issue is some of us can't move. Especially to somewhere like Houston. The secondary issue is many companies advertise for tech help, but they love to put the little tag on the end that says "Non Manager Experience" – Leaving a guy like me who knows how to service people in the dark just because I have spent time with P&L responsibility and a 5 million dollar budget.
The final issue is that rather than hire someone with experience, the goal is to go for the cheapest cost, or better yet, offshore. My wife and (who is also an experienced support manager)I were both forced to offshore parts, or all of our respective departments about 3 years ago before I lost my position in a merger. I was forced into taking part into hiring as cheap as I could due to budgetary restraints as well.
So what do I do these days? Peddle tech services and websites… Not all of us are looking for handouts and bailouts. Believe me, I don't make any money but I am at least happy to sit here every day and accomplish something :) and be a computer nerd as I have since the days when I built an Altair :)
Good luck on your search for Admins.
We have been considering opening an office in orlando in about a years time. We have such a big office here in houston it's a shame we can't fill it.
Hey Brent,
Can i work for hostgator in INDIA. I have good command over hosting and website designing in INDIA. I want to start my own company. Tell me what is your opinion. I can promote your hosting products and services in INDIA.
Can i register new domain for my activities.
suggest me good domain name for hosting and website designing services.
I'm sorry Irfan we are only hiring local employees at this time. If we ever start hiring in India you can be sure we'll blog about it here.
you hiring five people isn't really going to help the 700,000 unemployed in NYC. I am all for welfare not warfare and american entitlement. I hope the country goes belly up that way we may learn something from this.
I have no problem with my taxes going to help, feed and educate people. Too bad my taxes go to bomb the shit out of countries and steal their oil and over pay for the shitty healthcare in this country.
Great Article Brent! You're observations are right on the money.
One thing I thought you might want to add or post another article on… what does it take to be a Linux Administrator and what you would recommend someone do if they want to develop those skills? Any particular certifications you would recommend? I worked as a helpdesk tech on a Novell Network for 4 years – 5 years ago. If I wanted to upgrade my skills so that Hostgator could hire me, what's the quickest thing I could do to become a helpdesk tech for you? Please fill me in!
Glad to hear HG is doing well despite the downturn.
Hi Jose,
We are in serious need of some good windows admins. Shoot me off an email and we'll see if hg would be the right fit for you.
Great post Brent – dead on.
Hear Hear!!! And even MORe happy to be giving YOU our hosting business money!
Hire me, Im in Colombia! :)
Well, I know economy is going down but I think its nos as deep as it looks. I mean, like in my country, everybody cries about there is no money but suddenly the newspapers starting giving out information about DMG , a Madoff style ripoff , and now there are millions of poor people who claim they lost all their money (MILLIONS!!!!!!!)into those "investments".
Hi Brent,
Excellent post. I wish you would send it to Barack Obama. At least, they may adopt your idea of paying $10 for a shorter line wait. That would bring in more revenue, but the government doesn't operate as a profitable business would, so maybe not. It'd be worth a try, though.
I'm visiting your website today and plan to be a customer very soon. I'm a newbie doing my research, trying to figure out how to make a living with an online business. I love the idea that your company is in Houston. Please stay.
Regarding the need for Admins; As an ex-Realtor, I witnessed people from California & other states relocating to the Houston area by the droves… Before the crisis. Perhaps you could advertise employment positions in the "high cost of living states" Many are still relocating. They are selling their 300K & higher priced homes at a loss, relocating and paying cash or a large down pmt. here for a newer, better home than the one they had.
A free advertising method would be to contact "Relocation" Realtors here in Houston who are anxiously waiting for their out of state potential clients to secure employment. You get employees, the Realtor get buyers. Just a thought.
Kindest Regards,
I have just been recently employed by HostGator. I believe that this is a company you can grow with and have a stable career. We offer great services and excellent customer support. Even though my time at HostGator has only just started, I do feel that I will be here 10 years from now. You are treated like a person more than an employee at HostGator, it is very relaxed and comes with great perks. I would suggest to anyone that is looking for a career to apply. I have a drive of 45 minutes a day without traffic, and yet every minute is worth it because I am able to come to a really excellent work environment, and these days you cannot say that about most employers.
Great post.
USA = Great Service & Free Market.
Let's not stuff things up!
I tried to apply last year but since i live in France it didn't work with the visa procedure etc..
in case the situation changed and by that i mean you started hiring internationally I'll be glad to move to Houston :)
We'll hire anyone that's qualified and is able to get a visa and make it here to houston. The way that works is we pretty much sign a paper offering the job and for x amount of salary. You would then need to hire a lawyer there that would use that to obtain the visa for you.
Dear Mr. Oxley,
I heard about HostGator through a friend and I am very impressed; it looks like you have a really progressive, successful company. I am relocating to Houston the first week of May and am currently looking for work. While I have some basic IT experience and took an MCSE course several years ago, my resume is a bit thin in that respect. Most of my 12 years of experience is in Office Administration, Customer Service, A/R & A/P. The website would only allow me to apply for specific IT jobs, not administrative, but I was hoping you will allow me to submit my resume to you and possibly set up an interview while I am in town on March 30 & 31st. Please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience. I look forward to hearing from you.
al-nsa what is your experience? What type of job are you looking for?
I totally agree with your comment on hand-outs. I had read somewhere that the problem that has gotten out of hand is that people feel entitled to certain benefits rather than having to achieve them. It's much easier to follow than to lead. We need to start to spawn the imaginations of people again.
I have been involved in web design for 10 years and have found that there are so many new opportunities for business as the web sector continues to grow.
Hostgator has been the best! I started using you guys and also recommended you all to a colleague of mine who was reselling for another company and has also found HG to be spectacular in service and speed. There is just something about CPanel that makes it better than the H-Sphere based solutions.
All the best.
We've got the same issues in the UK. You can't get any government benefits until you are absolutely broke and then they give you everything. The moment you start work, they take it all away.
I think if left alone, most people become lazy and useless. Most of us only have a drive to succeed when we're under pressure.
I just applied for a part-time position at HostGator, actually. After two semesters of full-time job and part-time school, I've found I have lots of free time now that I'm not taking classes, and I've found I don't do very much during that time off.
Realistically, also, I'm a little afraid of what's going to happen to the economy. My 401k has taken a hit in the past year or so and, even though my current job caters to the upper middle class, eventually everyone could be affected depending on how many more bailouts the government keeps issuing… something tells me that's not how capitalism is supposed to work. ;)
Hello Brent,
I share your frustration. I also believe in our country and know our innovation will lead to better times. It is our way.
Although I live in San Antonio, my wife and I thought it would be a good investment to move to Houston due to better economy. Unfortunately, we are stuck in a lease, but I don't think that will stop us if I can find a job that fits.
I just got through 3 months of working hard to pick myself up from back surgery and I had a ton of time to think about our future. Although I am currently employed as an IT consultant/administrator here in San Antonio, I would love to find work in Houston that would improve my financial situation, work with me on a schedule that would allow me to go to school, and provide an exciting growth experience.
I found this forum, after not being able to sleep last night, and wanted to let you know that I had a phone interview by one of your employees this past Wednesday. Hopefully, I will hear back from Celeste in your HR department so I can go and visit you guys in person. I have filled out some other applications for jobs in the Houston area, so please let me know what your hiring staff thought so you guys can snatch me up before someone else.
Anyways, even if I don't get hired on, I wish you well in finding the people you need. Who says everyone has to struggle? It may just be a matter of perspective. Learning from hard times is valuable as well.
Nice Article/Post…
Except you forgot that the people who were hardworkign are still hardworking and it was greed that got us here. Greed from everyone (especially corporate CEO's this time).
I don't subscribe to the theory that rich people are greedy, I've seen all kind of greedy people from all nationalities and class levels.
When we as humans decide not to think and to let others (POLITICIANS, any type of RELIGION, CEO's of institutions) to continue to this for us, we're bound to repeat the same stupid cycles we've been repeating for ages.
Hi! Just caught this as I was taking a break from filling out your application for a linux sysadmin.
I'm finishing that up in a bit, but if you'd still like, you can contact me as soon as you get a chance!
i took this offer up, i got the job. im supposed to start may 18th, after relocating from crappy old ohio!
I've been using your hosting service for a while, and I'm really liking it. Then today I read this post and was stunned that you can't find enough qualified employees! I'm a college student (graduating in December of this year with a BS in Computer Science) and I have been looking for a while for internships this summer with little success. Everyone else seems to have gone into a hiring freeze and have no more positions available.
If you have any interest in hiring an intern for the summer, I'd be very interested. I currently live in San Antonio, but was actually looking primarily in Houston as I have ties there. I am a very experienced Linux server admin, and have quite a bit of experience with Windows servers as well. Should I send you my resume? :)
Hey Brent.
I want to say thanks for your post. It helped reaffirm something I struggle with currently. I lost my job due to corporate consolidation as they were trying to cut costs and no longer had a place for me in the fall of last year. Even with the urging of family while I have been actively seeking new employment, I have refused to seek any type of government assistance or unemployment. I just cannot do it. This of course has made things tight on the financial side, but I know I'll feel a lot better personally when the right opportunity comes around. Unfortunately, NE FL is pretty hard hit when it comes to finding employment in the IT sector.
That said, I stumbled upon this blog a couple weeks back, and took your advice and applied for a position as a Windows System Administrator since I have a lot of background in that area from a systems and web hosting perspective, and have also been a Cpanel/WHM reseller through Host Gator for a number of years.
I've since had a technical interview over the phone, and that appeared to go well. Now I find myself in the 'wait and see' mode of ever anticipating a potential call back from HR.
I spoken with family, and prepared them and have done some research on Houston both living/traffic and general info to prepare myself if the call comes through that I plan to take the opportunity if it arises.
If there is anything else you can recommend regarding this opportunity, please let me know. The past week has helped put a positive light on a rather bleak search the past couple months, I just hope it works out for the best.
Were actually very close! We've been hiring like crazy a ton of windows admins and should be launching within the next few months.
I have loved your service for several years. Until I read this posting — I didn't realize that Hostgator is a right-wing propaganda mouthpiece! Can't believe the unfounded crap you wrote.
Oh well…
Hi guys. I'm British, so naturally I live in the UK. Here the Benefits/Dole (Welfare) are in an even worse state than the US equivalent! Our Government will give people housing (4 bed room), Free NHS (National Health Service – basically everything you need health wise. But free), and about $50,000 for doing absolutely nothing! Our tax laws are 40% for above £30,000 earners (Excluding £7,500 pre-tax allowance) and that's what pays for everyone to be on welfare! Its a disgrace. People believe because they were born in this country they are suddenly entitled to welfare, even if they can work. I've nothing against welfare, but I do when its being abused in this sense.
Our un-employment is bad, but it seems here every job available is actually being snapped up by qualified individuals.
@Brent. I'm only 16, so perhaps my views aren't in touch with the real business world, however the logic to me is why can't you employ people to work at home, and work abroad? Set them up with the appropriate system to use perhaps Remote Desktop, Live Chat systems and even a phoneline re-direct. Surely that'd be less than the $5k re-location costs? Also, I make numerous websites for companies here in the UK and I insist they host with HostGator, it's simply the best I've came across, great service and cheaper than the UK services offered (+ I get $50 for the referral :D) but seriously, why couldn't you employ someone here in the UK to work as a UK representative for your help system, set them up with their own 9-5 direct help line and I know for sure I'd phone them for assistance. Whereas your US numbers cost about $6 a minute to phone from here.
Sorry If I went on a bit, just intrigued that's all :).
I'd appreciate a reply, but in the big bad world of Hosting CEO'ing I know getting around to things can be tough, so I'm not expecting one :)
Cheers, Jack.
Hi Jack,
We've tried remotes in the past and after one issue after another we gave it up.
Here's a few of the issues that came up in past.
1. security issues. (trojans)
2. Employee working for both us and competitor during same shift / hours simultaneously.
3. Playing wow instead of working
4. drugged out / drunk working.
5. Always lying about times. Not punching out for a few minutes here there, late, etc.
6. Remotes usually don't get along with inhouse employees.
7. Remotes usually say "f" the job I don't care what happens I can easily find another remote position.
There's very very few people in this world that can handle being a remote and doing the job to the best of their ability. I strongly believe one of the reasons we are the leader that we are today is due to being in house.
calljrnow you seem to think I agree with all the bailouts and ceo's getting bonuses for bankrupting their companies. In my eyes this is also welfare. If they had to work for what they earned instead of having it given to them through corrupt accounting practices and gambling the economy would be in a much different position.I believe in survival of the fittest when it comes to business. It sickens me that were giving one bailout after another to companies and allowing them to stay in business. If they don't have the money to stay alive they need to auctioned off and let the market decide what their remaining assets are worth. It's very unfair for companies that manage their money wisely to have to compete with those that are selling below cost and bankrupt. If we pulled the plug on all the companies on life support the strong will take their place and the economy will once again start growing. America is doing nothing but prolonging this recession by propping the economy up artificially while bankrupting America.
Yes. this bad economy will not affect Internet related products.
and in India ICICI bank now reduced their service time up to 2pm due to some incident in US. Before ICICI bank is the 1st Indian Bank served up 8pm.
Hope world economy resolve within 2 months.
Great post! I couldn't have said it better…
I've been unemployed since April, however I am taking this opportunity to be my owm boss and do something I'm passionate about. So, I started a web developing company, currently using Hostgator for the value they offer.
I'm currently seeking a web designer partner to join me in growing the business using the Hostgator platform.
I would like to hear from experienced web designers, let's talk.
"there is no better time to act than now"
Hey Brent,
Well my wife and I will be moving to Houston (back to Houston for me, first time for her) in September. I have applied for the Tech Support position, but the reality is that I would like to work my butt off and move up to the System Admin position. Do you think these positions will be available in September? I would love to work for Host Gator.
Hi B. Buckholtz,
We are always growing so we'll definitely have positions available.
We are being much more selective these days on which applicants we hire due to the volume of resumes so unfortunately we can't hire everyone.
Best of luck!!!
I read this blog post, and thought I would leave a comment and say I agree with everything you said. Welfare and the like, for people that are capable of working but just don't want to, drives me nuts. Call me crazy, but with the way the economy is, and in particular IT positions and the droves of people wanting the same position you are applying for…. you should count yourself extremely lucky if you have a steady job that gives you a nice paycheck.
I just applied for the open Linux Systems Admin position a few minutes ago. I'm a new graduate from SHSU with my BBA in Management Information Systems. In addition I have my UNIX Specialist, Web Specialist, A+, and MCP certifications. I've appeared on the President's List and Dean's List at both colleges I've attended multiple times, and I put myself through school working in various part-time IT roles in both the government and private sector and still can't seem to land a job. I would say I've probably put in close to 150 applications in various places all across the Houston area and have only had a few call backs. It's cut throat out there.
… and to those of you who collect welfare checks off of my dime, and are able to work: Get a job!
Hey Brent,
Really impressed and agree with you, one can earn even better in recession.
"people should use their head to think instead of growing hairs only"
I completely agree with you, we are finding that the recession is only helping our internet business, Garry is right we need to start using our head
Just want to say thank you for writing this. I enjoy your blog.It sickens me that were giving one bailout after another to companies and allowing them to stay in business. If they don't have the money to stay alive they need to auctioned off and let the market decide what their remaining assets are worth. It's very unfair for companies that manage their money wisely to have to compete with those that are selling below cost and bankrupt. Tks!
i like it jobs because it is a high paying job and you work in an air conditioned office :.,
i was starting to reckon i might probably be the sole man or women who thought about this, at the least now i find out i'm not nutty :) i will make it a point to see a handful of other articles right after i get a little caffeine in me, adios for now :)
Hello Brent,
Any chances of opening an office again in South Florida? I think there is a large talent pool here and real estate is now a bargain. Have a look in Weston, which is centrally located between Miami and Palm beach.

Connect Once, Query Lots (updated)
I had followed your examples and from that I had set it up so that all I had to do was pass my query to one function in an imported module and I would get back the sql result. That worked great until I wanted to run through a large csv file checking against the database and then writing results to another csv. I ended up opening and closing too many ports and hit the port limit, at which my script failed.
Since I do not have administrator access to change the number of ports or the wait time for the ports to become accessible, the only choice was to change my code. I know that I need to create one connection and then use it for several queries, instead of reconnecting everytime rapidly. I've tried two different approaches to integrating the mysqlconnector code into mine and each time I think I have everything ironed out I get :
File "E:\Python\
if self.db(
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable
I didn't see an example of where there was one function for the connection and one function for the queries and it seems a bit tricky to get that to work, but now I can't figure out how to work around this error.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

If I understood correctly, you are:
1) Reading a CSV file
2) Check data read from CSV with database
3) Based on the result from database, write something back to another CSV
This is not working code, but I would do something like this:
def check_data():
cnx = mysql.connector
csv_in = open("/
csv_out = open("/
data_in = .... # Read the data from CSV in a list or dictionary ..
cursor = cnx.cursor()
for data in data_in:
# data[0] contains an ID of some sort
row = cursor.fetchone() # I expect one row
if row[0] != data[1]:
# write something to csv_out
Hope this helps.
|Jay (calgaryjay33) said :
So if I have thousands of queries to make to the DB, then the Mysql Connector code and all of the related logic have to/should be in a single function?
I think my problem is that I had stuff going on in different functions and that presents the problem of either separating the cursor from the connection code or calling the function with the connection and cursor each time, which again creates too many port openings in too short a time frame.
Would that be a correct statement? Thanks for the help!!
|TinBane (tinbane) said :
In pseudocode, it's probably best to do it like this:
Start Program
Open Connection
Load Data
Iterate through data
- Call function to update mysql, pass connection object as one of the variables.
So for the above example:
def execute_sql(SQLcode = "SELECT * from somewhere", cursor):
return cursor.fetchall()
See what I mean?
You don't have to have it all in one function, you can pass the cursor object!

Mercedes-Benz "Soul" Shines Through
Industry data shows MBUSA CLA ad scores big during Super Bowl XLVII
Feb 07, 2013, 03:33 EST
MONTVALE, N.J., Feb. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The perennial discussion among industry pundits about the Super Bowl, the largest and most watched sporting event of the year, is: are the millions of dollars spent on Game Day airtime worth the investment? Most experts say that it depends on the expectation and the execution.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100901/NY58315LOGO)
Ask Steve Cannon, president and CEO of Mercedes-Benz USA what he wanted from the multi-prong marketing campaign the company put together for Super Bowl XLVII and he will say, "The goal was to create a compelling story which would introduce a new product – our 2014 CLA coupe -- at a first-ever price point in a way that would not only get people talking but also begin to get them interested and engaged."
According to Cannon – and various industry barometers -- the campaign that Mercedes-Benz launched on January 20th did just that.
Right off the top, Mercedes-Benz benefited from the fact that the game was played at the "Mercedes-Benz Superdome" (the company invested in naming rights in 2011). ImageTrack powered by Kantar Media — IEG's sponsorship/advertising broadcast monitoring service — projected that this would result in Mercedes-Benz receiving 6 minutes and 19 seconds of exposure during the game, valued at approximately $4.6 million. If the fourth-quarter for the CLA was then included, the total media exposure value was projected to exceed $12 million.
The campaign itself consisted of five elements. An advertising teaser campaign with four: 15 spots and one :30 went into rotation during the AFC championships on January 20 queuing up the ad with the "Something…is coming," tag. Two days later, the company released an online video (the parody of the stereotypical bikini clad model washing a car had Kate Upton playing to the camera while a bevy of good-looking young guys soaped up her car) which went viral and garnered close to three million views by the next day without the benefit of any paid media (it's now at 7 million). This was followed by a long-form version of the Super Bowl ad "Soul" and then a "Behind the Scenes" online video. Combined, these four creative executions netted nearly 10 million views before the final element, the 60-second version of the ad was released (to date, that tally is well over 13 million).
"But," notes Bernie Glaser, VP of marketing for MBUSA "To really amortize your investment, you've got to go deeper than measuring entertainment popularity. The real magic lies in converting awareness into consumer interest. Engaging people enough to go out of their way to find out more about your product -- that's the real payout."
The ad itself, set in New Orleans where MBUSA has strong philanthropic ties in addition to its presence there, drives home an actual selling point – the CLA's price. Created by Merkley+Partners (NYC), the storyline involves a devilish Willem Dafoe offering a young man a Mercedes CLA and all that comes with it -- a red carpet moment with Kate Upton, a dance-off with Usher, a drive on the Formula 1 racetrack etc.—in exchange for his soul. But just when the young guy is about to make the deal, he spies a billboard touting the CLA's MSRP of $29,900 and vanquishes Dafoe saying "I think I've got this."
And, as the various industry ad metrics started to roll in, data shows that MBUSA's spot itself "got this" and a whole lot more with audiences.
According to Ace Metrics, an independent analytics company which measures advertising effectiveness, "Soul" scored the highest of any automotive advertisement and tied for the 4th highest score overall for all ads on the Super Bowl.
As far as concrete evidence of effectiveness and engagement, Edmunds.com, one of the leading car information sites where potential buyers go to do their research, reported that the CLA had the highest jump in vehicle consideration both during the Game and in the 24-hour period that followed. Nearly one out of every five consumer searches during the fourth quarter was for the new sporty four-door coupe. In fact, queries for the entire Mercedes-Benz brand on the Edmunds website were up 122% from the average of the four previous Sundays, giving the brand the number one spot for consideration among all luxury makes during the Game.
"The CLA was the number one shopped vehicle on Edmunds.com over the weekend," said Vice Chairman Jeremy Anwyl from Edmunds.com. "It is the best performing ad campaign I have seen since I started tracking Super Bowl ad performance. The CLA obviously connected with a vast audience, demonstrating Mercedes Benz is enjoying early success as it reaches to a new generation of luxury vehicle buyers."
Looking ahead, the ad has its second broadcast appearance during the Academy Awards in late February. Its biggest star, the CLA, makes a brief appearance at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week starting today and will appear at the U.S. Open, the PGA Championship and other high-profile events that MBUSA sponsors. Digital and social media activations will be released over the next few months (the company's Facebook page Facebook.com/Mercedes-Benz USA is currently offering select fans an opportunity to see the CLA in an expense-paid trip to New York in conjunction with the New York Auto Show) as the September launch of the sporty 208–hp four-door coupe draws near.

Fostered by dry conditions and high winds, wildfires struck several north Texas counties, burning thousands of acres of rangeland and destroying small communities.
But it could have been worse if not for weekend rains, according to Texas AgriLife Extension Service personnel.
In Montague County, northwest of Dallas, approximately 45,000 acres burned along with an entire small town, and three people perished in the fires.
"Mainly rangeland was burnt, but we have some rough country that was burnt as well," said Justin Hansard, AgriLife Extension agent for Montague County.
The entire population, from 150 to 200 people, of Stoneburg had to be evacuated, Hansard said.
"Houses burnt down in that vicinity; we're looking at about 25 to 30," said Hansard, who is member of the Montague County Emergency Planning Committee. "Yesterday (April 13), we had a group come together with FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), and those guys who needed something immediately, we tried to fill their needs."
In Red River County, there was some concern about a 200-acre wildfire, but weekend rains aided firefighters and the danger is over, said Lynn Golden, AgriLife Extension agent based in Clarksville, east of Paris.
The concern from about half of the county was due to timber, much of it dry because of drought conditions earlier in the year.
"We're in good shape right now. Our stock ponds are full," Golden said. "We just need some warmer weather to get the warm-season grasses going. We're still having nights in the 30s."
Palo Pinto County lost about 800 acres to wildfires, said Scott Mauney, AgriLife Extension agent. Most of it was rangeland.
More than a dozen homes were lost and many more threatened, Mauney said.
The following summaries were compiled by AgriLife Extension district reporters this week:
CENTRAL: A hard freeze set back corn, milo, oats, wheat and garden crops for most growers. High winds and no rain severely dried out soils and crops. Producers continued planting corn. Most areas received rain late in the reporting period which helped green up warm-season grasses. Producers reported feral hog damage to row crops and pastures.
COASTAL BEND: Showers provided little relief to drought conditions. High winds caused erosion to newly planted fields. The wheat harvest was under way with yields as high as15 bushels per acre. Though little moisture was present in soils to germinate seed, producers continued to plant sorghum.Cotton continues to meet crop insurance deadlines. Cattle were still being supplemented with hay and protein as forage was in very short supply. Some cattle were being sold or moved out of the region to areas with standing forage.
EAST: Most of the region had a hard freeze, causing scattered damage to vegetable and fruit crops. There were also reports of frost damage to warm-season grasses. Recent rains of up to 3 inches helped pasture conditions. However, hay supplies were short, and high winds quickly dried out pastures. Cattle were in fair to good condition. Calving season was ongoing. There were reports of disease problems in ornamental plants, vegetables and turf grass.
NORTH: High winds dried out soils, and moisture levels ranged from short to adequate. A cold front with temperatures in the 20s and 30s set grass growth back. However, peach trees showed no visible freeze damage. Most wheat was headed out and in fair to good condition, showing no significant freeze damage. There was some freeze damage noted on already planted corn. The planting of corn, sorghum and soybeans continued. Sorghum was in fair to good condition. Corn producers continued to battle feral hogs. Hundreds of acres of corn seed were rooted up by hogs. Without a remedy to feral hog problems, it may soon become unfeasible to grow corn in some areas, agents reported. Cotton was in fair condition. Cattle were in fair to good condition, and supplemental feeding continued in many areas.
PANHANDLE: The region experienced another weather roller-coaster ride, with temperatures freezing early in the week, warming to above average mid-week and then returning to near normal by week's end. Dry conditions and high winds raised the danger of wildfire. Some moisture was received, but soil levels were still rated very short to short. Producers prepared for corn planting. Russian wheat aphids and greenbugs continued to assault wheat crops already stressed by cold weather. There were some reports of freeze damage to wheat.
ROLLING PLAINS: Driven by high winds, wildfires swept across the region. Montague, Jack, Stephens, Wichita, Archer, Clay and Palo Pinto counties all had fire damage. Temperatures fluctuated from freezing to 80 degrees. Freeze damage was showing up in wheat, and most producers were requesting crop insurance adjusters to visit fields -- unless the fields were already declared "disastered" (totally lost) because of drought. Some freeze damage was evident on fruit trees. Pastures quickly began to green up after the freeze, a welcome sight as most ranchers have used up most of their hay. Stock tanks were extremely low.
SOUTH: Widespread hot, dry and windy weather resulted in very short soil moisture conditions. Wheat fields in the eastern counties quickly dried up. Some of the wheat crop was already destroyed or harvested for livestock forage. Pastures and rangeland in the northern part of the region were extremely dry again. Sorghum planting was mostly complete, and corn and potato crops continued to develop under heavy irrigation. Cabbage harvesting continued in the western counties. Onion-bulb development was very good in that area, and the crop should reach maturity and be ready to harvest in about three weeks. Spring onion harvesting was in full swing in the southern parts of the region. Supplemental feeding of livestock increased, with some light culling of cattle. Stock tank water was limited, with some tanks completely dry. Producers were having to resort to well water or windmills for their livestock.
SOUTHEAST: Winter annuals matured and were producing seed. Warm-season grasses greened up, but cool temperatures limited growth. High winds dried out soils, but rain in some counties helped. Most winter feeding livestock ceased. Livestock were doing well. Freeze damage to the corn crop was confirmed, though the total acreage affected was not yet determined. Rice planting in areas where water is provided by bayou systems was not possible due to high water salinity. Bermuda grass and bahiagrass hay fields were drought stressed and remained dormant.
SOUTH PLAINS: Cold nights and warm, dry, windy days continued. Soil moisture ranged from very short to short. Cotton producers were preparing for planting season, which should begin about May 10. Where irrigation was possible, preparations included pre-watering. Wheat was in very poor to poor condition. Preliminary assessments indicated from 30 percent to 70 percent damaged tillers in wheat fields. Pastures and ranges were in very poor to poor condition. Condition of livestock was mostly fair to good with supplemental feeding continuing.
SOUTHWEST: About 0.4 inches of rain gave some drought relief to pastures and recently planted crops. But high winds with gusts of more than 30 mph dissipated much of the moisture. The rain also helped settle dust, made some spring corn, sorghum and cotton planting possible, and greened up the area. However, high winds and near-record high temperatures in the low 90s aggravated drought conditions and increased the risk of wildfires. Forage remained in short supply. Dryland pastures, ranges and crops did not make much progress. Ranchers continued to provide heavy supplemental nutrition to their remaining livestock. The cabbage and spinach harvests were ongoing. Producers began to harvest onions in the Winter Garden region, but the market was weak. Potatoes, spring onions, spring cabbage and irrigated corn, sorghum and cotton were making good progress under heavy irrigation. Cotton planting was complete.
WEST CENTRAL: Temperatures were cool with very high winds. Rain was reported in many counties, and boosted spring green up. Some counties had a hard freeze, and fields and orchards were being inspected for damage. Small grains headed out. Irrigated crops were doing well. Many cotton producers were applying herbicides to control weeds. Others were preparing fields for forage planting. The cool temperatures slowed growth of warm-season grasses. Low stock-water tanks and ponds were of great concern to many livestock producers. Supplemental feeding of livestock continued.

'The Wire': One Last Long, Boozy Irish Wake for David Simon's Accidental Masterpiece
There we go, giving a fuck when it ain't our turn to give a fuck.
Episode title: "-30-"
Opening quote: "…the life of kings." —H.L. Mencken
Okay, let's start with the obvious question: Was Norman Wilson high this entire episode? Watching Tommy Carcetti's most trusted aide cackling his way through the nightmarish crisis that almost brings his boss down — "This is too fuckin' good," he giggles at one point — made us wonder if, at some point, Carcetti would stop viewing Wilson as his conscience and start viewing him as a ball and chain. We think maybe he did, because as the episode goes on, Wilson disappears from sight, and the heavy work is handled by chief of staff Mike Steintorf. One great disappointment of season five has been Tommy Carcetti — not just his transformation from eager do-gooder to jaded opportunist (a transformation that is made complete in this finale, when he approves a cover-up of McNulty's scheme), but the show's backgrounding of him. Where once Tommy Carcetti was a force in any room, now he recedes into his big leather chair while his chief of staff makes the earth move. We miss feisty old Tommy Carcetti; we'd liked to have seen that guy go mad with power, not be neutered by it.
In other news, David Simon is not exactly Agatha Christie.
Simon wrote this episode, which contains two of the most laughable smoking guns ever given their own eureka moments on a major television show: the business cards that lead McNulty to the copycat killer, and Scott Templeton's empty notebook, which opens poor Alma's eyes to his chicanery. David Simon may be married to a fantastic mystery writer — Baltimore's own Laura Lippman — but he isn't one himself; both these plot twists showed their creator's hand far too clearly.
Luckily, nearly everything else in the episode is outstanding. This 90-minute finale manages to wrap up five seasons' worth of story lines without sacrificing too much in the way of The Wire's signature realism. It offers charming echoes of seasons past, while still remaining true to the changes the show's put its characters through. It's the rare finale that went out of its way to satisfy its audience without pandering … well, not too much, anyway.
Perhaps it's pandering a little bit to give us Bubbles the front-page celebrity, but Andre Royo plays Bubs's trepidation at the idea — and quiet pride at its execution — so well we are willing to overlook it. Maybe it's pandering a little bit to show us Michael as the new Omar, wisecracking while he robs drug dealers. (At least they don't have him whistle.) And maybe it's pandering a little bit to bring back our favorite middle-school teacher, Mr. Prezbo, for a lushly bearded cameo, but any good feelings viewers get from his appearance are undercut by its context; Dukie lies to him, asking for money, and is well on his way to becoming the next Bubbles. Hell, he's even got bubbles on his T-shirt.
But all in all, the finale is a reminder of what we have always loved about the show: its ability to move a half-dozen stories along through the accretion of potent mini-scenes. Take as just one example Lester Freamon's discovery of the leak inside the grand-jury room; he delivers to Pearlman a tape of the leaker, prosecutor Gary DiPasquale, hitting up Maurice Levy for money. With Levy breathing down Pearlman's neck about the obvious illegal wiretap used in the Stanfield case, and the mayor's office telling Pearlman to make the case go away, Ronnie busts out the tape and plays it for Levy. Watching actor Michael Kostroff's face fall as Levy struggles to regain the high ground is delightful. A deal is struck: Marlo serves no time but must retire, while Chris goes away for life.
The consequences spin out from there: Levy fully embraces Herc as a source of inside information, even inviting him over for brisket. And Marlo, like Stringer Bell before him, declares himself a businessman, offering his connect with the Greek for sale. The price? A cool $10 million. The remnants of the Co-op pool their money ("We sellin' dope and coke in Baltimore," Cheese admonishes his pennywise fellow dealers. "Any y'all who ain't got that kind of money need be ashamed"), but their plans are a bit mucked up when Cheese pulls a gun on Fat Face Rick, telling him in no uncertain terms what he thinks about Rick's reminiscing about the good old days: "There ain't no back in the day. There ain't no nostalgia to this shit. There's just the street, and the game, and what happen here today." Then Slim Charles blows Cheese away and says, "That was for Joe." Hell yeah, Slim Charles. And Marlo, stuck at a stuffy party full of real-estate investors, realizes much earlier than Stringer Bell ever did that he's not cut out for this brand-new game. Soon he's back on a corner, bleeding, fighting, and alive and well.
Over at the Sun, Gus finally confronts Templeton about his fabrications and is rewarded with a demotion. Alma backs him up and is rewarded with a transfer to the Carroll County bureau. Templeton publishes a story about watching a guy in a van kidnap a homeless man, gets dressed down by a self-loathing McNulty, and is rewarded with a Pulitzer Prize.
Even though Templeton's story is bullshit, there's a copycat killer in Baltimore, and a furious Daniels and Rawls inform McNulty that solving the two resulting murders is his final case. "If you're half the detective you think you are," Rawls growls, "you'll put this down quick." McNulty does, laughably quick, nailing the Business Card Killer the next day. Carcetti names Cedric commissioner, but he's out within weeks, forced out by Nerese and the mystery file she got from Clay Davis. In his last official act, Cedric promotes Carver to lieutenant — the very rank Daniels held at the beginning of season one. Meanwhile, Sydnor's becoming the new McNulty; in another season-one echo, he complains to Judge Phelan about the abandonment of the Stanfield case. In one respect, though, he's smarter than Jimmy: "Keep my name out of it," he says.
In fact, echoes to the series' first episode are everywhere: In McNulty's "What the fuck did I do?" In the quick shot of Daniels and McNulty through an elevator security camera, a visual reminder of the first season's frequent use of such footage. And in Bunk and Kima's last scene, in which they investigate a murder under the same two statues of children where poor William Gant met his end in episode one, season one. "There you go," Bunk says, just as he did to Jimmy all those years ago. "Giving a fuck when it ain't your turn to give a fuck."
Perhaps there is one last little bit of pandering. David Simon does, after all, stage a full-blown Irish wake for Jimmy McNulty, even though he isn't dead — a chance for the show to gather its most beloved po-lice to talk up everyone's favorite hot-tempered, hard-headed cop. Let's let Landsman have the last word on Jimmy McNulty. Here's his eulogy:
He was the black sheep, a permanent pariah. He asked no quarter of the bosses and none was given. He learned no lessons; he acknowledged no mistakes; he was as stubborn a Mick as ever stumbled out of the Northeast parish just to take up a patrolman's shield. He brooked no authority. He did what he wanted to do and he said what he wanted to say, and in the end he gave me the clearances. He was natural police. And I don't say that about many people, even when they're here on the felt. I don't say that often unless it happens to be true. Nat'ral po-lice. But Christ, what an asshole.
And I'm not talking about the ordinary gaping orifice that all of us possess. I mean an all-encompassing, all-consuming, out-of-proportion-to-every-other-facet-of-his-humanity chasm — if I may quote Shakespeare — "from whose bourn no traveler has ever returned." He gave us thirteen years on the line. Not enough for a pension. But enough to know that he was, despite his negligible Irish ancestry, his defects of personality, and his inconstant sobriety and hygiene, a true murder police. Jimmy, I say this seriously. If I was laying there dead on some Baltimore street corner, I'd want it to be you standing over me catchin' the case. Because brother, when you were good, you were the best we had.
What else? There's a montage. It happens while McNulty stands next to his car on a stretch of I-95 in Baltimore, looking out over the city. Driving that same highway the other day, we found ourselves staring out to the left at the same view Jimmy McNulty takes in. Bawlmer will live with The Wire forever; no other American city has ever been so exhaustively and expertly anatomized by a single work of art. You can read the end of the montage — the faces of ordinary Baltimoreans, going on about their lives and loves and sins — as David Simon throwing up his hands and announcing, as Adam Sternbergh puts it on these very pages, "'Twas ever thus." Or you can read it as we do: that despite the crushing weight of institutional corruption, hope still exists for America's cities — not in political reform, but in the resilient ability of individuals to remain as unique and unexpected and stubborn as they, too, have ever been.
Years ago, David Simon professed himself not that interested in characters or story; The Wire existed, he claimed, primarily to advance a series of important social arguments. Just as The Wire surpassed its creator's own limited goals on the strength of its endlessly surprising characters, this finale reveals, so too do our cities overcome their limitations — on the strength of the people who live in them, work in them, laugh in them, fuck in them, love and kill and cry and try in them. No matter what, people will still give a fuck when it ain't their turn to give a fuck. After all, David Simon — harried out of the newspaper he loved, all those years ago — sure did.

Your cart is empty.:( Let's fix that!Close
From the dress-up and role play our little ones love, it's a just small step to the stage. What stage, you ask? The one right in your living room, in the playroom, on the patio or wherever fancy strikes.
As their imaginative worlds become more complex and their understanding of story-telling evolves, many older preschoolers come to love putting on skits and puppet shows and other whimsical performances for any captive audience they can find (that would be you, most of the time!).
This new stage of pretend play is so much fun for parents too. We get to assist as costume and set designer, prop master as well as adoring fan. And what else can we do to encourage the theatrical magic? Here are a few ideas:
A parent contributor to our Savvy Activities suggests a wonderful way to promote children's living room plays.
In her book The Creative Family, Amanda Soule shows us how to set up an easy doorway theater so that a stage can materialize whenever the muse appears. A tension rod and curtains across a doorway creates a stage and backstage instantly (use a shower curtain rod for wider doorways). What a great way to give children that sense of drama they crave!
We love the idea of a puppet theater set up in a corner where shows can be imagined and practiced and performed at a moment's notice.
The kids will also need a cast of puppet characters. There are all sorts of wonderful choices, and making puppets is a great activity in and of itself. We are also quite taken with the line of finger puppets from Manhattan Toys. They come in all sorts of wonderful sets such as pirates, Cinderella story characters, the Three Little Pigs characters, and on and on. Adorable!

More Eagles Killed
Wednesday, March 04 2015 @ 11:51 AM EST
Contributed by: karenbills
I am sad to report that more eagles have been killed for their lucrative body parts and feathers to be sold on the black market. This time it was in the South Delta area near Delta Port. It was called to my attention yesterday and the media have been alerted. We are hoping that the culprit/s will be caught and severaly punished.
Larry Pynn of the Vancouver Sun has written an article about it in today's paper. You can read it here:

The objectives of the policy delphi method are to: ensure that all possible options have been tabled for consideration, estimate the impact and consequences of any particular option, and to examine and estimate the acceptability of all the individual options. The committee process is commonly used to address a wide range of issues and decisions within organisations at management and operational levels. Committees dominate governance and management within nearly all types of organisations, however, it has been argued that the committee approach no longer functions as effectively in the realm of policy formulation as it once may have due to a lack of adequate structure for discussion. Due to the disadvantages of the Committee process, this research investigated the relevance and effectiveness of the policy delphi method in 2013 within the leading Malaysian energy organisation, with the provision of this practical case study of a policy delphi to elaborate the efficacy of this method for asset intensive organisations to develop strategy and policy.

Pay Day Wish List
When I started this post I didn't mean for it to be wholly made up of items from River Island, but they are really nailing it this month! Oh, and incase your wondering, no, it is not a sponsored post. Now to the nitty gritty. I absolutely adore the pink faux fur jacket and currently it's the best I have seen on the high-street that isn't ridiculously priced and the monster bag is ahhmazing. I think I will have to take a trip to store and check out the size before I purchase because I pretty much carry everything and the kitchen sink in my bag, so size in this case, does matter. The jumper is a close version of the Bella freud knitwear and the skirt reminds me of The kooples, infact, I think all the items I have listed come to less then what you would pay for a Kooples skirt. If thats not an excuse to buy it all then I don't know what is!

No doubt about it, fall is the most gorgeous month. The reds, oranges and yellows make the world so beautiful. The pumpkins, hay bales, and mums add a perfect touch to our outdoor decor. But what I think I love the most about the season, that doesn't seem to get as much attention as the lovely colors, are the scents of fall. The crisp air, burning leaves, pine cones. Those are some of my favorites. I just want to bottle it up and sniff it year round! Now I can, with Good Earth Beauty!
Good Earth Beauty is an all natural and organic beauty shop. They have an extensive line of products for hair, cosmetics, bath and body, baby, pets and more! They pride themselves on hand selecting and personally testing the products that they sell. Many of the products they offer are made in the U.S.A, and they do not carry anything that is tested on animals. This is a company that I feel great about supporting! I recently had the opportunity to test some of their Good Earth Beauty Exclusive Shampoo and Conditioner.
I chose the Good Earth Beauty Pumpkin Chai Restorative Natural Shampoo and Pumpkin Chai Silky Hair Conditioner. I love scented products, and really wanted to try a yummy fall favorite scent, and these did NOT disappoint! To say they smell amazing would be an understatement. It combines the scent of pumpkin with a touch of warm spices. Shampooing in a steamy shower with the delicious aroma wafting around is so soothing! I hate to get out now! I was a little confused with how well the shampoo was going to work at first. It looked a bit watery in the bottle, and I was worried I was going to have to use a lot to get my hair washed. That fear was quickly put to rest when I realized that you don't need much (I used about 2 quarter sized dollops) because it lathers up really well. The conditioner has a nice, thick consistency, and everything rinses out easily, leaving your hair smooth, clean, and smelling fabulous!
Ingredients: Shampoo- Organic Herbal infusion, Organuc aloe barbadensis leaf juice (aloe vera), cocamidpropyl betaine (from coconuts), cocamide MIPA, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate (Foaming agent - NOT a sulfate), panthenol (vitamin b05), wildcrafted achillea millefolium (yarrow), wheat germ oil, olive oil, rose hip oil, borage oil, orange peel tincture, oregano oil, tea tree oil, leucidal liquid (plant derived preservative)
Conditioner: Organic Herbal infusion, Organuc aloe barbadensis leaf juice (aloe vera), cetearyl alcohol (plant derived), jojoba oil, sesame seed oil, avocado oil, olive fruit oil, evening primrose oil, coconut oil, shea butter, starflower seed oil, polysorbate-60 (plant derived), panthenol (vitamin b5), kosher vegetable glycerin (plant derived), leucidal liquid (plant derived preservative), collodial oatmeal, citric acid
The Pumpkin Chai shampoo and conditioner are exclusive products to Good Earth Beauty. They have a retail of $15 for each 8oz bottle. Through fall, Good Earth Beauty is offering you a 10% discount with code mixednuts10! They also offer FREE SHIPPING in the U.S.A. These would make wonderful stocking stuffers, as would many of the other products in their Gift Shop!
If you would like to learn more about the Good Earth Beauty Pumpkin Chai Shampoo and Conditioner, or to check out the full line of Good Earth Beauty products, be sure to visit their website.
One lucky Theresa's Mixed Nuts reader is going to win Good Earth Beauty Pumpkin Chai Shampoo and Conditioner!

Wallabies on loan to Tahs & Brumbies
Four Wallabies have been released from a training camp to turn out for their Super Rugby teams against the touring British and Irish Lions.
Waratahs captain Dave Dennis and inside centre Rob Horne will join their state side ahead of Saturday's match against the Lions in Sydney.
Brumbies utility forward Peter Kimlin and prop Scott Sio will feature in their team's match against the Lions in Canberra on Tuesday.
The decision of Wallabies coach Robbie Deans to release the quartet gives the Waratahs and Brumbies a boost, while also guaranteeing the players more playing time and valuable exposure to the tourists' playing style prior to the start of the Test series in Brisbane on June 22.
The British media accompanying the Lions have raised concerns that the unbeaten tourists may not have been pushed hard enough for the Test series opener after playing a number of under-strength teams on the tour so far.
The ARU said the four players will return to the Wallabies squad after their tour matches.
The Wallaby team for the first Test will be announced next Thursday, June 20.
The Waratahs team to play the Lions will be announced on Friday.
Dennis and Horne join Bernard Foley and Matt Lucas, who were released by the Australian Sevens squad earlier this week – where the national seven-a-side team was staging a three-week training camp ahead of the World Cup later this month.
Their return has been welcomed by Waratahs Head Coach Michael Cheika, who had been forced to call up eight Shute Shield players to cover the absence of the team's 10 Wallabies, six injured players and two on Sevens duty.
As well as helping NSW, the decision of Wallabies' coach Robbie Deans to release them also guarantees the players more rugby – and valuable exposure to the tourists' playing style – prior to the start of the Test series in Brisbane next Saturday.
Cheika and his squad will now race the clock to finalise their preparation for one of the biggest games in NSW Waratahs history.
Waratahs players unavailable for selection:
With the Wallaby squad: Benn Robinson, Sekope Kepu, Kane Douglas, Michael Hooper, Wycliff Palu, Berrick Barnes, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Israel Folau.
Injured: Tatafu Polota Nau (broken arm), Greg Peterson (dislocated shoulder), Mitchell Chapman (medial ligament), Sitaleki Timani (broken thumb), Michael Hodge (torn hamstring), Lachie Turner (broken leg).

I love those but I have been eyeing a Friends and Family Gather Here sign. I think I need one that says that, for my living room. What do you think? Any ideas?ReplyDelete
Hey! Your pictures of big signs reminds me, we have a big Coca-Cola sign and it's so old the red paint is sort of dust now. Do you know anything about refurbishing big signs? Or do you know a reference website I could look at to get some information?ReplyDelete
Love your blog, makes me miss Louisiana.
So very Seussian! Can't wait to see your "translations" of the shoe, the fish & love!ReplyDelete
