ANAHEIM, Calif. – Anaheim Ducks defenseman Sheldon Souray will be out four to six months after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right wrist.
The Ducks announced Souray's absence Tuesday.
The 37-year-old defenseman was hurt while working out off the ice on July 17, the team says. He had surgery July 25 in Los Angeles, and will be out at least four months from the time of the surgery.
Souray made a solid debut with the Ducks last fall, getting seven goals and 10 assists with a plus-19 rating as a key power-play contributor for the Pacific Division champions. Souray signed a three-year contract with Anaheim last summer.
Souray's lengthy absence is a blow to the Ducks, who also signed former Edmonton defenseman Mark Fistric.

The digital book frontier has lost a pioneering company with Facebook's acquisition of Push Pop Press. The San Francisco-based start-up, which launched in February this year, aimed to "re-imagine the book"; its first product was the iOS app of Al Gore's book, Our Choice. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
Push Pop was co-founded by two former Apple employees, designer Mike Matas and engineer Kimon Tsinteris. Matas is well-known as the designer behind popular Mac app Delicious Library; he later went to work for Apple on the iPad's Photos and Maps apps. The two, and their team, will now be bringing their talents to Facebook.
Much buzz surrounded Push Pop's launch earlier this year, and Our Choice won this year's Apple Design Award in the iPad category.
But Facebook has no intentions of publishing e-books. According to Push Pop, it will no longer be working on its publishing platform or releasing any new ebooks. Instead, the company's technology and talent will be integrated into the social-networking giant, while its own platform gets shuttered.
Push Pop Press has stated that Gore's Our Choice app will remain available for purchase. You can get a universal copy for iOS devices for $5; all profits will be donated to The Climate Reality Project.

The creator of the hashtag isn't quite certain what sparked him to stir his Twitter movement. But Greg Jennings knows the crusade has proved invigorating and won't be slowing anytime soon.
On many mornings, the new Vikings receiver energizes his own pursuit of excellence with a push for his Twitter followers — more than 308,000 and counting — to do the same.
Jennings will call roll in the #SuccessStalkers community, wondering who else is attacking their day with purpose and verve.
Inevitably, he's flooded with replies. The tweets come from professionals pushing toward job promotions. Students celebrating A's on big tests. Single moms taking summer classes while working two jobs.
Attitude-wise, they all fit right in with a 29-year-old NFL veteran who is suddenly on a quest to re-establish himself as one of the league's elite. In a new city. In a new offense. With a new unproven quarterback.
Said Jennings: "Whatever walk of life you're in, your goal should always be to stalk some kind of success. So you have to ask yourself daily, 'What are you doing to truly be successful?' Because everyone has it in them. Everyone has that key to their success. But the only person who can unlock it is you."
Perhaps it sounds corny, maybe a bit hackneyed. So what?
Jennings wants to make clear he arrived in the Twin Cities devoted to elevating his game. Perhaps equally important, he is driven to bring others along with him.
On Thursday afternoon in Mankato, Jennings will check into Vikings training camp eager to recruit 89 new teammates to the movement.
He has been asked to quickly generate momentum with quarterback Christian Ponder while also serving as sage to an ultra-young receiving corps that includes first-round draft pick Cordarrelle Patterson.
The introspective receiver senses a contagious hunger within this bunch. Which is one of the significant reasons he wound up with the Vikings in March, signing a five-year deal with a group he senses has a dangerous combination of talent, drive and unity.
"I see an organization that's on the move," Jennings said. "Obviously you don't come some place if you think they're not going in the direction you want to go. But I see the Vikings stalking their success as well."
Forgotten man?
After a productive, seven-season stay with the Packers, Jennings hit free agency in March seeking "something different." He wanted a new opportunity to prove himself. He wanted, in his words, to feel wanted.
But why here? Why now? If his predominant goal is to succeed at the highest level, why was he so eager to leave Green Bay, where he posted three 1,000-yard receiving seasons, went to two Pro Bowls and contributed four grabs, 64 yards and a pair of touchdowns to the franchise's Super Bowl XLV triumph?
Jennings can summarize why his time in Green Bay ran out. The Packers, he believes, already had started moving in a new direction, continually fortifying their receiving corps and allowing promising young playmakers to wedge out the older guys.
So why prolong the inevitable?
In 2011, Jordy Nelson leapfrogged Jennings as Aaron Rodgers' top receiver. Last season, with Jennings missing eight games because of a nagging core muscle injury, he watched as James Jones and Randall Cobb broke through, combining for 1,738 yards and 22 scores.
Jennings celebrated those successes but wasn't ready to slide quietly into a greatly diminished role.
He felt compelled to prove his career success hasn't solely been a byproduct of having played with future Hall of Fame quarterbacks in Rodgers and Brett Favre.
Jennings isn't sure enough outsiders remember that during Rodgers' first year as a starter in 2008, he was the quarterback's top target, catching 80 passes for 1,292 yards with nine TDs. Or that he continued to aid Rodgers' ascension with more than 2,300 receiving yards and 16 scores over the following two seasons.
"I was kind of that comfort blanket so to speak," Jennings said. "But this is a quarterback-driven league, so people forget about the guys around the quarterback."
Jennings wanted his abilities appreciated. So in his final months with the Packers, he started thinking more about what was next.
"Maybe," he said, "I need to go back to my college days where the quarterback wasn't just viewed as oh-so-great and still prove that I can be successful."
If Jennings hadn't tired of Rodgers specifically, he certainly had his fill of the environment in Green Bay, wondering if the ubiquitous Rodgers lovefest had created a narrative that de-emphasized the strength of the group.
Throughout this offseason, Jennings has subtly jabbed Rodgers, rarely calling him by name and referring to him instead as "12" or "the guy they have now."
"A lot of times when you have a guy who creates that spotlight for himself and establishes that and takes a lot of that, it becomes so-and-so and the team," he said. "It should always be the team."
Asked in a later conversation to clarify those sentiments, Jennings expanded.
"For me, I'm such a team person, I'm going to defer to my teammates," he said. "I'm going to defer to the team, to the team, to the team. And I think when you reach a point where you're not deferring any longer, it's no longer really about the team."
Jennings paused and looked around.
"Don't get me wrong, '12' is a great person. But when you hear all positives, all positives, all positives all the time, it's hard for you to sit down when one of your teammates says 'Man, come on, you've got to hold yourself accountable for this.' It's hard for someone to see that now because all they've heard is I'm doing it the right way, I'm perfect. In actuality, we all have flaws."
Helping hand
Separated now from Rodgers and the Packers, Jennings knows a major catalyst for his success is out of the equation.
Yet Jennings also holds an opportunity — the edict really — to elevate Ponder, his new quarterback.
"I'm not saying that if I had wrote a script, this would hands down be the ideal position for me to be in," Jennings said. "I don't know. Only God knows that. But for me, it's a challenge. It's a change of gear to where now I don't have that [established] quarterback. That's what everybody is saying. But in my mind, I don't need that quarterback for us to be successful.
"It's not about me. It's not about just Christian. It's about us."
Last winter, as the prospect of joining the Vikings became more realistic, Jennings intensely studied the team's offense.
More than anything, he scrutinized Ponder. His technique, his delivery, his timing.
Jennings needed to see why it was that the then-24-year-old quarterback passed for only 2,935 yards (25th in the league) while accumulating an underwhelming 81.2 rating.
"Not trying to point the finger," Jennings said. "But in this situation I needed a finger to be pointed. Because hopefully it's not at Christian."
With each game he critiqued, Jennings identified Ponder as a young quarterback with an ability to make every throw and athleticism that's "off the charts." He also sensed Ponder simply needed more help from his receivers, aid he is certain he can provide.
Jennings also will be asked to become a galvanizing mentor within the receiving group. He will arrive in Mankato with 425 career catches, 6,537 yards and 53 touchdowns. The other 11 Vikings receivers joining him have combined for 127 career grabs, 1,670 yards and 10 TDs.
No wonder receivers coach George Stewart has made certain his ultra-young group appreciates Jennings' infectious attitude, a presence he likens to Jerry Rice, whom he coached for five seasons in San Francisco.
"Greg's an encyclopedia," Stewart said. "So let's use him. Everything there is to do at that the position, this guy's done it. He's seen it, he's played it, he's caught it. Let's ask him questions."
The road to success
Vikings coach Leslie Frazier has been blown away by Jennings' unselfishness yet appreciates that edge of ego he brings.
"That's definitely there, and it's not a bad thing," Frazier said. "I like the fact that he wants to be the man. … Greg knows our offense runs through Adrian [Peterson]. But because he's as smart as he is, he also understands that because of Adrian, it's going to create so many situations for him that he can thrive in."
The Vikings should feel fortunate they were able to reel Jennings in on his free-agent visit. After all, when his flight from Michigan landed at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport early on March 15, Jennings came to the curb and was stuck waiting on a ride, an iffy first impression that left his wife, Nicole, unsettled.
And when the limo finally arrived, offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave was a one-man greeting party.
Jennings confesses he had no idea what to think at first. Musgrave was friendly but so reserved, humorous but somewhat shy.
"I couldn't gauge him," Jennings said. "And I'm a people person. Normally I grab a vibe instantaneously. But it was kind of weird. I was like, 'Man, this dude is a little different.' "
Luckily, by the time Jennings and Musgrave arrived at Manny's Steakhouse in downtown Minneapolis to meet a larger and more enthusiastic dinner party that included Frazier, General Manager Rick Spielman and star defensive end Jared Allen, the rapport soared.
Initially, there was so little talk about football and so much more about family and Midwest living and life in general. For Jennings, it was a visit that felt so "authentic and not at all scripted."
Quickly, he felt ready to join an environment where he felt players were trusted to be professionals without micromanagement.
"It's not a free-for-all. There's structure," Jennings said. "But there's liberty. You can breathe. It's like, 'OK, I can do my thing.' You know what you need to do, you get it done. Whereas [in Green Bay], everything was more cookie-cutter. … It's just different. In a good way. And not knocking what we did there. Because obviously it was successful. But here, no one's walking on egg shells."
Now the Vikings hope they can be an integral part of the #SuccessStalkers movement.
Jennings desperately craves another 1,000-yard season, another deep playoff run.
He sees what is developing and senses great potential. But then he stops, wincing.
"I hate that word. Potential," Jennings said. "Because everyone has potential. But everyone doesn't maximize that potential. They want that potential to show. But they don't want to do the dirty work to allow that potential to blossom."
At times, it sounds as if he is auditioning to be the successor to Dr. Phil, spewing motivational maxims on command. But Jennings knows only one way of going about his business. It's naïve, he reiterates, to sit around waiting for greatness to knock. Success has to be stalked.
"You have to go and get it," Jennings said. "You have to go and find it. You have to go open some doors yourself."

Denying sex to husband for a long time without any justification amounts to mental cruelty and is a ground for divorce, Delhi High Court has said.
The verdict came on a petition by a husband seeking divorce, complaining that his wife had subjected him to mental cruelty by not allowing him to have physical relations for four-and-a-half-years though she was not suffering from any physical disability.
While allowing the husband's appeal, the high court granted a decree of divorce to him noting that the wife in a trial court had not specifically denied the allegation.
"In view the foregoing discussion, we are of the considered view that the husband has fully established that he was subjected to mental cruelty by the wife by denying sex to him for a long period despite living under the same roof, without any justification and though she was not suffering from any physical disability," a bench of Justices Pradeep Nandrajog and Pratibha Rani said.
The husband had challenged a trial court order of March dismissing his divorce petition on the ground that the instances of cruelty pleaded and proved by him did not satisfy the standard of cruelty as per the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955.
The high court noted in its verdict that the wife had initially appeared before the trial court which subsequently proceeded against her ex-parte as she stopped appearing thereafter, even though she was served with the notice.
The husband had told the high court that their marriage was solemnised on November 26, 2001 in Haryana and they had two sons aged 10 and 9 years, at the time of filing of the plea in trial court in 2013.
The man claimed that he and his family members were subjected to mental cruelty by his wife as she was not doing household work. When her conduct became unbearable, his parents asked them to live in a separate accommodation in another portion of the same house, he said.
He also claimed his wife had not permitted him to have physical relations for last four-and-a-half-years.
In her written statement filed before the trial court, the wife had initially contested the divorce plea filed by the husband while denying all allegations.
In its judgement, the bench referred to the settled legal position that "denial of sex to a spouse itself amounts to causing mental cruelty".
"The appeal being well founded deserves to be allowed," it said, adding "we grant a decree of divorce in favour of the husband on the ground of cruelty by dissolving his marriage with the wife that had been solemnised".

Wednesday of the First Week of Advent
"How many loaves have you?" is Jesus' question to us today. Daily Advent Devotional by Michael Dubruiel
It is easy in life to concentrate on our lack in the face of the problems that arise daily. But Our Lord's response is to take what we have, give thanks to God and throw what we have at the problem. There is a lesson in this for all of us. The disciples when confronted by Our Lord's question mouth our response, "but what is this for so many?" and Jesus ignores this objection.
Today take what you have and give it. Give it for others. Take the words that are buried in your mind and share them with those you meet. Take the loose change you have in your pocket and throw it into the Salvation Army bucket. Whatever you have it is enough, share it.
Some years ago when the city of
Berlin was divided but before the Berlin wall had been built. Some Berliners from the Soviet side sneaked over late at night to the American side and dumped all of their trash into the street. A few nights later the Americans retaliated by sneaking over with a truck load of food and provisions and leaving them in the street...along with a sign "One gives what one has to give.."
Give what you have today asking God to bless it as you do.

For five mayoral candidates on the campaign trail, this was a night off the beaten track.
Five Democratic contenders awoke Sunday as guests in public housing apartments, where they had spent the night to get a firsthand look at mold and other problems.
Toting sleeping bags, pillows and bouquets for their hosts, the candidates — city Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, City Comptroller John Liu, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, former Comptroller Bill Thompson and former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner — arrived Saturday evening to bunk with different families at the Lincoln Houses complex.
Local advocacy groups organized the sleepover to highlight conditions in Lincoln and other complexes run by the New York City Housing Authority. Candidates said they were troubled by what they saw.
"The overall living conditions of the buildings were deplorable," Liu said in a statement Sunday, though he said he'd had a comfortable stay in his hosts' meticulously kept apartment.
NYCHA representatives declined to comment on the event. Organizers said they hoped it would inform the candidates' thinking if one of them wins the mayoralty this fall.
"They're going to have actual, lived experiences, and we're hoping they take that and use it for policy," said Afua Atta-Mensah of the Urban Justice Center, which spearheaded the event with Community Voices Heard and the National Action Network.
About 400,000 people citywide live in developments run by NYCHA, which has taken heat over a backlog of repairs, weekslong power and heat outages in some developments after Superstorm Sandy and a plan to lease land in some complexes for new apartments aimed mostly at richer residents.
The Democratic candidates have called for changes to the housing authority, and some want to replace Chairman John Rhea. Current Mayor Michael Bloomberg has defended Rhea.
NYCHA said earlier this month that it has cut the repair backlog from 423,000 work orders to less than 220,000 and aims to finish all of them by the end of the year. The agency says the leasing plan is its best hope for raising $30 million to $50 million needed for larger-scale work, such as replacing elevators and roofs.
Advocates say residents are waiting too long for the agency to deal with serious mold outbreaks, holes in walls and other significant problems, and the politician-guests emerged sounding similar notes.
"Staying overnight here is a powerful reminder that behind the thousands of backlogged repairs that NYCHA never seems to get to are families living in unacceptable conditions that bring shame to this city," de Blasio said in a statement.
Among the other Democratic, Republican and independent mayoral hopefuls is former federal housing official Adolfo Carrion Jr., a now-unaffiliated former Democrat running on the Independence Party line. His campaign said he'd been unable to attend the overnight event because of a scheduling conflict.

As Mark has reported, BlackBerry users faced a text messaging outage for three days straight last week. Yesterday, BlackBerry offered some customers $100 in free apps as an apology.
And, today, The Financial Times reports another bit of surprising news born out of the outage: Authorities said the number of traffic accidents fell by 20 percent in Dubai and plummeted by 40 percent in Abu Dhabi during the outage.
The National, an English-language paper from the United Arab Emirates, first reported the story over the weekend. They report that authorities are certain the outage is linked to those drops:
Lt Gen Dahi Khalfan Tamim, the chief of Dubai Police, and Brig Gen Hussein Al Harethi, the director of the Abu Dhabi Police traffic department, linked the drop in accidents to the disruption of BlackBerry services between Tuesday and Thursday.
Brig Gen Al Harethi said: "Accidents were reduced by 40 per cent and the fact that BlackBerry services were down definitely contributed to that."
"Absolutely nothing has happened in the past week in terms of killings on the road and we're really glad about that," Brig Gen Al Harethi said. "People are slowly starting to realise the dangers of using their phone while driving. The roads became much safer when BlackBerry stopped working."

Bush Judge Makes Dead Soldier's Family Prove Why Sharia Shouldn't Apply in Suit
When people told me they had to vote for George W. Bush because of the judges he would appoint, I always cited the many judges he appointed who are liberal, favored more rights for Islamic terrorists, and the like. Now, we have yet another such Bush judge, Nora Barry Fischer (already suspicious for insisting on using three names, including her maiden name). Fischer is considering applying Sharia to a court case involving the rights of an American soldier killed in Iraq, and forcing the soldier's family's lawyers to spend time, money, and resources proving why the Sharia-dominated Iraqi law and constitution should not be applied in an American court. It's an outrage.
Bush Judge Nora Barry Fischer Makes Dead Soldier's Family Prove Why Sharia Shouldn't Be Applied
Please tell me how a John Kerry or Al Gore judge would be different or worse. There's no difference. (I voted Bush the first time, Libertarian the second time, for the record, because I vowed never again to vote for such an Islamopanderer.)
American soldiers harmed by American companies should have their lawsuits decided under American law, the very law they are serving to protect. The only exception to this should be when a soldier willingly gives up that right in writing of his own volition. Unfortunately, this lawsuit by the family of American soldier who died of electrocution while serving in Iraq might be decided under Iraqi Muslim law, where sharia and the Koran reign supreme, if American company KBR has its way. That an American judge is even considering this is a travesty. But, yes, Bush Judge Fischer is considering it.
Recently, many misinformed people were up in arms about a Florida judge ordering that Islamic law decide arbitration in a case involving a mosque versus its members. I did not have a problem with that because in that case the mosque members and the mosque had actually agreed to submit to religious arbitration, then the mosque opposed it when it realized Islamic law was not on its side. When a mosque that preaches sharia is opposed to using sharia against it, it's not what the ignorant, so-called anti-jihadist bloggers are squawking about. But in this case, it's different.
The family of the late Staff Sgt. Ryan Maseth–and the dead soldier himself–never gave up their rights under the U.S. Constitution. They never willingly submitted to the Koran in the name of taking a shower operated by KBR in Iraq. This is the company that used to be part of Halliburton. It benefited greatly from American taxpayers and the soldiers who protect them, making billions of dollars. That KBR would even suggest using Iraqi law instead of U.S. law in this case is an outrage. Unfortunately, as I've noted in previous posts over the years, the U.S. Supreme Court, more and more, subverts U.S. sovereignty and cites foreign laws as authority for American jurisprudence, including in cases where it decided against the death penalty for juvenile murderers and rapists.
And, as I've noted in the past, KBR was the slimy offshoot that Halliburton used to use to avoid U.S. laws, while Dick Cheney ran Halliburton. KBR traded with Iraq, while we had the embargo against Saddam Hussein, and it violated the embargo with Libya, building Qaddafy giant steel enclosed cross country tunnels to shield troop and nuclear transports from American spy satellites. Now, the sleaziness continues, even though the company is now U.S.-based and was at all times applicable to this case. More:
Attorneys for Houston-based military contractor KBR Inc. have asked a federal judge in Pittsburgh to apply Iraqi law to a lawsuit filed by the mother of a Pittsburgh-area soldier who was electrocuted while showering at a U.S. military base in Iraq.
U.S. District Judge Nora Berry Fischer asked attorneys for both sides to file written arguments before she'll decide the issue.
At a hearing Tuesday, she frankly acknowledged what she believed was the reason for the motion. "The big nut is whether or not you can apply for punitive damages," the judge said. "You can't get punitives in Iraq."
The lawsuit contends KBR is responsible for Staff Sgt. Ryan Maseth's death because it maintained the barracks where the Army determined a water pump shorted out and electrified his shower water in January 2008.
KBR attorneys have argued that three military investigations have determined no one agency or company is to blame for the Maseth's death, which spawned a military review of 17 other electrocution deaths in Iraq and prompted electrical repair work at military facilities, much of it by KBR.
Hey, if at first you don't succeed in passing the buck for the unnecessary death of an American soldier, seek the Koran for guidance!
Cheryl Harris, the mother of the 24-year-old Green Beret, and her attorney said they believe KBR is trying to delay the lawsuit and evade responsibility.
"My emotional response is just the frustration of being here for three years, of the length of time it takes, and the stalling tactics that KBR continues to take," she said at the hearing.
She said American soldiers deserve to be protected by American laws and safety standards, even in foreign lands.
"It's quite sad that KBR would think otherwise," she said. "That they would be paid billions of dollars and not be expected to protect U.S. soldiers."
AMEN. And that's in addition to the fact that a U.S. military base is essentially U.S. land with U.S. laws applied there. Are we going to impose Cuban law in Guantanamo Bay? Hell no.
Fischer must decide whether to apply Iraqi law to the case or to judge it based on laws in Pennsylvania; Tennessee, where Maseth's unit was based; or Texas, where KBR is headquartered.
Fischer is expected to rule within about two months.
Like I said, this shouldn't even be under consideration. Any federal judge with half a brain would laugh at anyone trying to impose Iraqi law in such a case. Completely absurd. And it has the potential for a very bad precedent, if she does impose Iraqi law and it's not ultimately reversed on appeal.
If American soldiers and their families can't expect their disputes to be adjudicated under American law when it involves American defendants and American military bases, then what the heck are they fighting for, and why are they wearing the letters "U.S." and an American flag on their uniforms?

You know the drill. You get the interview. And you ace the interview. In fact, it was the best job interview you ever had. While you don't know exactly what happens after a job interview, you think you did well.
So you head home dreaming about the job you're pretty sure you just landed. And then … you wait. And you wait. You wait some more. Until you just want to scream! Maybe you do scream. And rant a little. And even think of all the things you'd like to do to that stupid company you once thought was so perfect for you!
Take a few deep breaths
But before you decide the company purposefully designed some sick waiting game to torture you in, take a few deep breaths. And let me take you behind closed doors.
It's time you learn more about the mysterious steps of the interview hiring process. What goes on inside the secret rooms. And why you aren't getting any feedback from the company, even though you send e-mails and call them endlessly (please don't) hoping for even the tiniest clue.
Hard as it is to believe, sometimes there are good reasons — really — why a company's hiring process takes so long. And why all too often you have to wait forever (or so it seems) before you hear back from an employer. A lot happens after a job interview — including unexpected twists and turns.
What does go on behind the scenes?
I love this topic, since I get sooooooooooo many e-mails and comments about how painful the waiting game can be. Once, I even wrote a post begging Human Resources people to be more considerate. But sadly, for many reasons, the torture continues and you're still waiting.
I hope by telling you about what happens after a job interview, you might be able to relax just a little more knowing one week, two weeks, even three weeks or more of waiting can be perfectly normal.
Reasons still waiting after interview:
- Sometimes HR controls all communication and that means people you write to are advised not to respond to individual candidates. Why? It could be a mandate from legal to prevent any miscommunication. (A poorly worded response from the company could be construed as an offer when none exists yet.) Or it could simply be HR wanting to call all the shots. It happens.
- Someone critical to the process may be sick or called away. Why not work around the person? Well, they could. But often the company prefers to wait for the sake of continuity — even if that means you wait too.
- A key person may suddenly have been put on a top-priority project that's taking all their time. Even if they said they want to hire quickly, the hiring process can get put on the back burner. I've seen this many times.
- Or a key person has been fired or quit and must be replaced first.
- The department is going through a reorganization — maybe again.
- The job is being rethought and possibly needs to wait for HR to approve a reclassification. Why? Sometimes they find a specific candidate (maybe you) whose skills are even more suited to their needs than their original concept. Or they find two people they like and decide to split the job into two different positions.
- Hiring may require numerous people who did not interview you to sign off on various steps of the process. Meanwhile, you wait.
- Sometimes it simply takes weeks to find room on everyone's calendar for the next round of interviews.
Dealing with time after job interview
So if you're stuck in the waiting game, try not to get caught up worrying about things you can't control … like all the stuff behind closed doors. Instead know you've done your best. That's all anyone can do. And just make sure you've sent a great thank you note.
After a couple weeks have passed, follow up with a polite e-mail and / or phone call saying you're still interested and would love to know your status. You might even ask if they need anything else from you.
Other than that, you just wait. As long as it takes. So much happens after a job interview that you never know — or will know. Once I waited four months … and I was their top candidate!
Meanwhile, do what you can to keep yourself busy and diverted so you aren't obsessing about the wait. Also … keep looking! Not only does the action help you stay sane, but you may actually wind up finding an even better job in the process.
Good luck finding the right job for you.

No matter your religion, if you love coffee, this prayer is for you. I suggest framing it for your kitchen.
Caffeine is my shepherd; I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in green pastures:
It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz:
It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction,
I will fear no Equal™:
For thou art with me;
thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me.
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of The Starbucks:
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over.
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life:

Wales Begins Collection Of Devolved Property Tax
Property taxes have changed in Wales, as land transaction tax (LTT) came into effect as of 1 April 2018.
This replaced stamp duty land tax, which applied to properties worth more than £125,000 or £300,000 for first-time buyers in England, Northern Ireland and Wales.
Instead, all homes in Wales worth up to £180,000 are now exempt from tax under the new rates.
Above this threshold, the following rates apply:
|Price threshold
|LTT rate
|£180,001 to £250,000
|£250,001 to £400,000
|£400,001 to £750,000
|£750,001 to £1.5 million
|More than £1.5 million
LTT will be collected by the Welsh Revenue Authority, along with a landfills disposals tax in place of landfill tax.
Further changes are set to follow next year, with the introduction of Welsh rates of income tax from 6 April 2019.

Here's the back of the foreign version's DVD case. Love how they misspelled Mikiko.
This is the front cover of a foreign version (not sure which language). It's a standard DVD case.
This is the side of the DVD case for one of the foreign versions. Crazy language, eh?
Here's the concept material for a digipak version (which we didn't make). If the game was multi-CD we would have put the CDs on the two Daikatana symbols.
The inside cover of the digipak in production. It reads,"This is just a place holder for copy that tells all about John Romero's new masterpiece. This copy is also just here for you to see what type will look like in this area of space. So don't keep reading this copy. It's stupid. It's just a mind dump of what I felt like writing at the time this was written."
LOLZ! Go Sasha! (Sasha Shor, creator of all Ion Storm's packaging and corporate identity, etc.)
Here's one of the 2-page ads for Daikatana. I liked this one best. The tagline "Suspect everyone, trust no one" was tired and dumb even back then.
Eidos ran a lot of co-marketing ads back in the late 90's that included their current game's main characters. Like Daikatana's Hiro Miyamoto and Anachronox's Sly Boots.
The box cover of the European version. The box was the kind where the top slid down over the bottom like board games, old Origin and Infocom games.
Love that plug by PC FORMAT.

"Are you or your children in a life-threatening situation? Are you in immediate danger? Does your abuser have access to weapons or guns of any kind?" These are the very first questions to be asked when a victim of violence walks through the door of a YWCA. The safety of an abused woman is our absolute priority. As it must now be for Congress.
Domestic violence touches every one of us. It fills emergency rooms and morgues, keeps employees from work, terrorizes families and interferes with children's ability to learn. It drives up health care costs, contributes to crime on our streets, and causes lasting harm to communities. Tragically, domestic violence incidents occur each and every day in the United States and abroad, in high-profile cases like the recent killing in South Africa of the girlfriend of Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius, and in the apartment or house next door to yours.
In just this past week, we have witnessed numerous domestic violence-related homicides across our nation. In Columbus, Ohio, a woman was allegedly stabbed to death by her husband, who then may have attempted to kill himself. In Florida, Utah and New York, investigations are underway to piece together domestic violence-related murder-suicide cases. And, in Pennsylvania, a man forced his way into the home of a victim, brutally stabbing her to death before fleeing the scene.The suspect had a long criminal history, including aggravated assault, simple assault and terroristic threats — a story that is not uncommon for many known abusers.
On average, four to five women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends each day in the United States as a result of domestic violence. Over 200,000 people are sexually assaulted each year in this country. Congress must pass a bi-partisan Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) that mirrors the recently-passed Senate bill (S.47) that protects all victims of violence, regardless of sexual orientation, race or immigrant status.
The YWCA is one of the largest providers of programs that serve victims of violence, serving over 500,000 women and children each year. We provide 24-hour crisis hotlines, emergency shelters, counseling services, legal assistance, child care, economic empowerment programs, and transitional housing for all who come through our doors. The YWCA knows how to create violence prevention programs that save lives, and we rely on vital funding from VAWA to do so.
Without the critical funding that VAWA provides, YWCAs across the country will not be able to take these programs to scale and implement them as widely as is necessary. Fortunately, since VAWA was introduced in 1994, annual occurrences of domestic violence have dropped by 50 percent.
However, the National Network to End Domestic Violence has found in recent studies that the need for services has risen dramatically, while the capacity to provide them has decreased: 92 percent of victim service providers have seen an increased demand, and 84 percent reported that cutbacks in funding were directly affecting their work. The reauthorization and full funding of VAWA can help stop this threat to women's health and safety.
We know that the House of Representatives wants to address and prevent violence. And, we know that members of the House can work together to finalize a bi-partisan bill that puts victims and their safety first; a bill that includes important improvements to serve all victims and survivors. VAWA was bi-partisan when it first became law in 1994. That should not change.
Preventing domestic and sexual violence and protecting victims must be a priority in our cities, in our states, in our country and in all countries. The need is real, and there is no time to waste. On behalf of the women and families who rely on the YWCA for their health, safety and well-being, the YWCA urges the House of Representatives to act on the momentum created by the Senate and immediately reauthorize an inclusive Violence Against Women Act.

Tomorrow is the 23rd of April, St George's Day in England and to help celebrate the occasion I thought I would share with you a beautifully composed song by the great English composer Michael Head (28 January 1900 – 24 August 1976).
The song that I have chosen uses the words of Seamus O'Sullivan's famous poem "A Piper", which conjures up fabulous images of a joyful celebration in which everyone involved puts aside their differences, forget their worries, stops their chores and for a brief moment rejoice in the happiness brought about by the beautiful music.
The words are brought to life by the vivid colour produced by the music of Michael Head and I do hope that you enjoy it.
A Piper – Music by Michael Head
A piper in the streets today
set up, and tuned, and started to play,
And away, away, away on the tide
of his music we started; on ev'ry side
Doors and windows were opened wide,
And men left down their work and came
And women with petticoats coloured like flame.
And little bare feet that were blue with cold
went dancing, dancing back to the age of gold,
And all the world went gay, went gay
For half an hour in the streets today.
The performance was from a recital that was held on the 19th September 2014 in St George The Martyr Church, Preston.

Enchanting yet still unknown to the majority of tourists, this Cycladic island mostly attracts Greek pilgrims travelling there twice a year, on March 25 and August 15, to visit the church of Panagia Megalochari (the Blessed Virgin Mary). From all over the country, people come here to fulfill their vows and to seek comfort. Tinos is the most important Orthodox centre of worship in Greece but, in the same time, an important Catholic centre too; this so rare in Greece mix of religious traditions gives to the island a particular character.
But a pilgrimage is not the only reason for getting to know the amazing island of Tinos, with the beautiful beaches and the 40 traditional villages, or, according to the philosopher Kastoriadis, the "hand-made Tínos".This island is the homeland of renowned great artists of marble carving such as Gyzis, Lytras, Chalepas, Filippotis and Sochos, who have been the last famous names to have held the baton of the island's marble-carving tradition. According to the legend, the famous sculptor of the ancient times, Fidias, had taught the secrets of his art to the locals. Their admirable craft is displayed in chapels, fountains, arches and pigeon lofts. In the village of Pýrgos the Marble Art Museum is worth a visit as much as the Gallery of Tinian Artists right next to the church of Virgin Mary.
Tinos is a very interesting place to visit. One can enjoy its unspoiled architecture, its picturesque villages, its beautiful beaches and its traditional culture and way of living that has been going on through the years.
The pan-hellenic festivities in honour of Virgin Mary on August 15 are accompanied by other festivals like those in Tsikniás and Exómbourgo and the gastronomic feasts involving artichoke and raki in Falatádos as well as the festival of honey in Kámpos. Tinos is the ideal place for nature lovers, architecture, art and tradition, and the perfect answer to the relative expectations.
The scenic villages of Tinos
Pyrgos, the village of the marble artists
Lying away from the seashore and where a Venetian castle used to stand (the word "pyrgos" in Greek means "castle") Pýrgos is one of the largest villages of the island and, definitely, the centre of the marble art of Tinos.
The fountain dedicated to the Greek Revolution of 1821, the marble work on the churches, the houses and the two museums make obvious that sculpture enjoys a long tradition in Pyrgos.Since 1955 the Art School for Marble Sculpture has supported this long tradition.
The picturesque settlement lies in the shape of an amphitheatre on the edge of a valley that adjoins the plain of Komi. One of Tino's most abundant brooks winds its way through the valley, which is dotted with well-preserved dovecotes. The arcades and the houses with the pretty lintels above their doors and windows play their part into making Agapi one of the most traditional villages of the island.
Tino's highest village is on the south flank of the Kechrovouni Mountain, close to the Church museum where you can see old icons, books and other religious items. A breathtaking panorama is the backdrop to classical Tinos-style cooking with meat prepared with locally grown ingredients. Don't leave the area before visiting the monastery of Kechrovouni (10th century) a big edifice looking like a fortified village. There you can see the cell of nun Pelagia, and a museum where several remarkable icons from the18th and 19th centuries, as well as other important heirlooms, are kept.
It is a tiny village, located in the interior of the island, almost hidden in the middle of rounded, giant granite blocks, with houses that are built onto the rocks. It is one of the most interesting villages to explore, as its architecture is unique on the island. Many of its houses are actually built on top of the boulders! Although tiny in size, the village has two tavernas, a gift shop, a folklore museum, a small stone open-air theater and a few remaining basket weavers still making their sturdy artifacts. You can also find local honey, herbs, dried figs and tomatoes, capers and wine.Also interesting to view is the tiny Catholic village church next door to the folklore museum. It is exactly what you would expect a village church to look like! A footpath winds down the valley to Agapi village.
A village adorned with olive groves and gardens filled with artichokes, citrus fruits and vegetables. Stroll over to Agios Zacharias church. From its large veranda decorated with a pebble mosaic, you can admire the view over the village to the beach at Kolimbithra.
The village marks the beginning of a fertile plain that stretches down to the sea. At each of the two entrances to the village, there is a church with a beautiful square.
This farmers' village lies at the foot of Tsiknias, the highest mountain on Tinos. In the Agios Antonios church, there is a carved wooden iconostasis as well as icons from the 17th and 18th centuries.
On a steep slope high above Ysternia Bay there is the village called Ysternia, between Kardiani and Pyrgos. Apart from its spectacular views one can also admire plenty of marble adornments on houses, churches and in the pretty town square, as this village is yet another home to marble artists with a long tradition of carving.
It is a village whose history stretches back to the 14th Century, and where agriculture and cattle breeding still play a role. Visit the church of Agios Ioannis and admire its marbled decoration. During summer don't miss contemporary art exhibited at the House of Exhibition.
In the picturesque passage next to the Church you can have a coffee and taste delicious homemade desserts. In the tavernas, you can taste delicious meat and offal specialties on a spit or on the grill, as well as a wide range of appetizers.
After visiting the gorgeous hinterland of the island, take off your clothes, put on your swimming suits and trunks and off to the superb beaches of Tinos! An when you have enough of swimming, sunbathing, and flirting on the beach, you can embark on sightseeing. Lucky you, the island is full of interesting, beautiful, and important sites.

I. There is but one only,[1] living, and true God,[2] who is infinite in being and perfection,[3] a most pure spirit,[4] invisible,[5] without body, parts,[6] or passions;[7] immutable,[8] immense,[9] eternal,[10] incomprehensible,[11] almighty,[12] most wise,[13] most holy,[14] most free,[15] most absolute;[16] working all things according to the counsel of His own immutable and most righteous will,[17] for His own glory;[18] most loving,[19] gracious, merciful, long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin;[20] the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him;[21] and withal, most just, and terrible in His judgments,[22] hating all sin,[23] and who will by no means clear the guilty.[24]
II. God has all life,[25] glory,[26] goodness,[27] blessedness,[28] in and of Himself; and is alone in and unto Himself all-sufficient, not standing in need of any creatures which He has made,[29] nor deriving any glory from them,[30] but only manifesting His own glory in, by, unto, and upon them. He is the alone fountain of all being, of whom, through whom, and to whom are all things;[31] and has most sovereign dominion over them, to do by them, for them, or upon them whatsoever Himself pleases.[32] In His sight all things are open and manifest,[33] His knowledge is infinite, infallible, and independent upon the creature,[34] so as nothing is to Him contingent, or uncertain.[35] He is most holy in all His counsels, in all His works, and in all His commands.[36] To Him is due from angels and men, and every other creature, whatsoever worship, service, or obedience He is pleased to require of them.[37]
III. In the unity of the Godhead there be three Persons of one substance, power, and eternity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.[38] The Father is of none, neither begotten nor proceeding; the Son is eternally begotten of the Father; [39] the Holy Ghost eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son.

[1] DEU 6:4 Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord. 1CO 8:4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God by one. 6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

JOH 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein.
[8] JAM 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. MAL 3:6 For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.

Papi increases intensity in spring drills
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- David Ortiz has ramped up the intensity of his running drills, and he participated in a lengthy agility drill on Friday.
"It's going good," Ortiz said. "I'm increasing things every day. I feel fine. I feel fine doing that. Sometimes I get a little sore after a couple of rough days, but the doctor says it's normal. I'm just doing things that I wasn't able to so your body -- your foot -- has to get used to it. Once you get used to it, it will be fine."
There's no timetable just yet for the star slugger to get in a Grapefruit League game, but Ortiz should be cleared to run the bases fairly soon.
The designated hitter, coming off a serious right Achilles injury last year, is enthused by the improvement of the injury and remains confident he will play on Opening Day at Yankee Stadium on April 1.
"I'd like to be in a game tomorrow," said Ortiz. "But we're just being smart, not trying to rush. I've got another six weeks still [until Opening Day]. They want to make sure that when I'm in, there's no setback."
First baseman Mike Napoli -- who has avascular necrosis in his hips -- also continues to make solid progress.
"We're likely to see Mike Napoli start to get on the bases on Sunday, to advance that program," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "That's right in line with the calendar that we've set out. He's responded very well. He feels very well physically."
