I've noticed a lot of people seem to start their job applications with 'I know I'm not qualified, but...' There's nothing wrong with honesty, and telling lies about your skills and qualifications is never a good idea (way too easy to get caught out later), but why would you lead with what you can't do? If you feel like you're overreaching and applying for something you can't handle, maybe it's not the right job for you. But if you think you can do it, and still want to apply, try focusing on the skills you do have instead; the lack of relevant qualifications will be clear on your CV but if you've already impressed them by then they might still give you a shot.
Ever heard the expression, 'Nice guys finish last'? Not true. Yes, sometimes you have to think about your own interests before other people's, but that doesn't mean you get to be arrogant or pushy. I keep saying it but remember your application, and following correspondence, is going to be read and responded to by a real person, who might be your colleague one day. So be nice to them! They're not obliged to hire you just because you meet all the criteria. Definitely don't throw a strop if they ask you to complete a task before the interview stage - there'll be a good reason (probably to help them filter applications) and you'll do yourself no favours by being a diva and refusing to do it.
Make sure the details on your CV are correct and up to date. If you've changed your email address or phone number, you might miss an important message following up on your application or even inviting you to interview. A busy recruiter is unlikely to waste time trying to find out the right information unless they're desperate to meet you.
And it's not just your CV - if you're applying for jobs through a third party site like Reed or Monster, check your account details are correct there too. The messages received with applications are set up so employers can just hit 'reply' to contact you, and they use the email address from your account, not your CV.
I already mentioned making sure your CV is well laid out and there are no mistakes. But even if it's perfect you still need to make it stand out. This probably depends on the kind of job you're applying for, but in a lot of cases you don't have to use Times New Roman font; there are a lot of fonts to choose from (just make sure you pick something legible) and don't be afraid to use colour either. In particular if you're applying for a job requiring design skills or creativity, make your CV attractive. It doesn't have to be a straight text document - you can use images or even include a link or QR code to an online resume.
You also don't have to send the same CV to every company; you can adapt it to suit the job you're applying for. In particular, use the personal statement at the start to explain not only what you can do but how you feel that can be valuable in this particular type of role.
Recruiters only have a few seconds to spend on each application, so make sure you include the important information you want them to know as briefly as possible. And that's all I have to say about that ;)
I hope these (and the other tips I've shared) are helpful and although I might not be posting again for a while, I'll still be checking comments so please feel free to share any success stories!

A variety of memory and logic devices, including DRAM (dynamic random access memory), SDRAM (synchronous dynamic random access memory), Flash memory (NAND or NOR), CPU (central processing unit), GPU (graphics processing unit), etc., are widely used in computers, digital music players, gaming devices and mobile internet devices. For instance, since SDRAM was introduced to computers, further generations of SDRAM (DDR1, DDR2 and DDR3) have entered the mass market, with DDR4 currently being designed and anticipated to become available in the coming years.
Wafer level packaging (WLP) combines flipchip (FC) technology with surface mount technology (SMT) and ball grid array (BGA), where all processes are completed directly on the wafer before the chips are singulated for FC assembly. Key related technologies include redistribution layer (RDL), repassivation and bumping. Lithography techniques for metallization, such as RDL, pillar and bumping, are crucial for WLP. The IC industry is starting to adopt WLP for various applications, mainly driven by RF devices. Fan-out WLP is recently developed and adopted by many wireless manufacturers for lower thickness, smaller footprint and higher routing density. TSV is becoming part of WLP technology as it enables the shortest and greatest number of interconnections.
Based on well established double side mask alignment systems, EV Group offers a product portfolio which covers all essential process steps for backend lithography, such as wafer bumping, creation of RDL and via etching masks, via bottom opening processes as well as lithography performed on thin or temporary bonded wafers. Such wafers may be aligned based on alignment keys on the wafer backside or in the (temporary) bond interface, where mask aligners with backside microscopes, transmissive or reflective infrared alignment capabilities are applied. The systems are available in semi-automated configurations for process development and smaller scale manufacturing requirements, while fully-automated system configurations, running cassette-to-cassette processes, are optimized for high-volume manufacturing.Please see our related products EVG®150, IQ Aligner® and EVG®40NT for detailed information.

Cliffdavid needed a new t-shirt design and created a contest on 99designs.
3 winners were selected from 55 designs submitted by 24 freelance designers.
We are the Sailboat Rental concession stand at Central Park Conservatory Waters in Manhattan. We rent remote control model sailboats by the hour in season. We also sell t-shirts, hats, and sweatshirts for adults and children. Here is an official link to the park website:
Here is a link to Alice in Wonderland:
Our target audience tends to be tourists, but I believe with a fresh design, locals could be tempted to purchase as well. The current largest selling shirt in NYC is the "I love(heart) NY" shirt that is sold everywhere. We sell children's sizes as well as adults and will consider either as a winning design.
Must be themed to any of the following: Model Sailboats in Central Park, Central Park or New York City. Also the highly visited statue of Alice in Wonderland is very close to our location. We cannot accept any designs outside of these parameters. No "I love..." designs please! Fresh and creative in both design and color would be great. Family G rated type designs only as well. Nothing racy or inappropriate please. Multiple designs may be accepted.

Who eats: Business types; conventioneers on break from the nearby convention center.
Why eat: This prime steakhouse and banquet facility is an independent restaurant holding its own against such heavy hitters as Morton's, Gibsons and, McCormick & Schmick's.
Ambience: Boardroom luxury. White tablecloths over padded tabletops, polished-wood wall paneling, thick carpeting. An eclectic, almost random assortment of art on the walls.
Dress code: You'll see a few knit shirts among the diners, but business casual is the rule.
Noise factor: You might hear a burst of applause if any of the six private dining rooms is hosting a group, but the dining room itself is very quiet.
Overheard: "You know what keeps me going? Fear."
Service: Owner Jim Mandas is a constant presence, whether by the host stand or in the dining room. Five minutes after we were seated, he strolled by and greeted me by name (well, the name I used for the reservation). Waiters and bus staff work the room with practiced efficiency and near-constant motion.
Menu: American, with a small section of prime steaks (at lunch portions) for the meat eaters. Main courses include soup or salad, so everybody eats substantially here.
Reliable options: The signature burger ($11.95) with aged cheddar is excellent, and scallops over linguine ($16.95) are a good bet when available (seafood options change). Coconut-crusted shrimp ($15.95) with spicy pineapple chutney and chipotle mayonnaise offers good sweet-spicy interplay.
Cellphone reception/Wi-Fi: Strong reception. Free Wi-Fi, no password needed.
Expect to pay: $30 to $55 for two.
Reservations: Strongly recommended; this place gets busy. Reserve by phone or on OpenTable.com.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and former House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich are emerging as the frontrunners in the race for the Republican presidential nomination and the right to challenge US President Barack Obama in this year's election. But which is better for Israel?
As predicted, Israel has been a primary topic of discussion along the campaign trail. In numerous public debates, all of the Republican candidates with the exception of Representative Ron Paul have expressed strong pro-Israel positions.
But Bill Clinton and George W. Bush were both "pro-Israel," too, and they still pushed Israel to surrender strategic and biblically significant assets. Would a Romney or Gingrich presidency be just more of the same?
Romney has repeatedly criticized Obama for "throwing Israel under the bus" and insists that Israel must be free to decide its own fate, but he has consistently shied away from laying the blame for the lack of peace on Israel's enemies.
It can be deduced from Romney's remarks that he would maintain the status quo established by Clinton and Bush - a slow-moving peace process that periodically requires Israel to make dangerous concessions, but that in the short-term leads nowhere. It is possible to suggest the opposite of Gingrich.
Newt Gingrich has spent some time criticizing Obama for his treatment of Israel, but has expended far more effort trying to clarify the purposely muddied Israeli-Arab conflict. Gingrich has slammed the Palestinian Authority as a gang of terrorists and facilitators of terrorism, and is adamant that the starting point of the peace process must be the basic truth that there never was a sovereign Palestinian Arab nation.
A Gingrich presidency could potentially produce a seismic shift in the Middle East peace process.

525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear.
525,600 minutes – how do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
525,600 minutes! 525,000 journeys to plan.
525,600 minutes — how can you measure the life of a woman or man?
It's time now to sing out, the story never ends
let's celebrate, remember a year in the life of friends."
Seasons of Love from RENT
Fall is probably the most beloved season we have here in Michigan. Gorgeous arrays of color on the trees extend from the Upper Peninsula to the "Mitten." The rich diversity of our state is what makes it a great place to live and do business. And most importantly, it provides us with a multitude of philanthropic opportunities!
Play Me, I'm Yours
Just two years old, ArtPrize® in Grand Rapids has become one of the premier art events in the country. Part arts festival, part social experiment — this international contest is decided solely by public vote.
So you can imagine our excitement when we announced that we would be sponsoring British artist Luke Jerram's piano installation piece titled, Play Me I'm Yours. Twenty pianos were placed throughout the streets of downtown Grand Rapids. Using the core of the city as a backdrop, each piano acted as a sculptural, musical, blank canvas, and provided musicians of all levels an opportunity to share their creativity by performing in the public.
"We are thrilled to be involved in bringing Luke's project to ArtPrize," said David Van Elslander. "It's an opportunity to engage the community, bring out hidden musical talent, allow people to express themselves and just to have fun."
This year alone Play Me I'm Yours will be presented in New York City, London, Belfast, Cincinnati, and San Jose. At the conclusion of ArtPrize, the pianos were donated to schools and community groups in the area.
Simply Irresistible Party
Art Van and Detroit News columnist Chuck Bennett hosted a night of food, furniture, and fashion for a great cause. While the event gave us an opportunity to showcase our new Fall Home Catalog, Simply Irresistible, it also gave us the chance to raise over $14,000 for the Horatio Williams Foundation, which supplies uniforms for underprivileged inner-city students. In 2009, the Foundation was able to outfit one school in Detroit. Thanks to this party, they were able to provide four schools with 560 uniforms! Now that's a great style statement.
Charity Challenge, Round 2
After months of reading heart-tugging submissions (and going through boxes of tissues) our panel of judges whittled over 600 Million Dollar Charity Challenge applications to 50, and we went on a whirlwind, 50-hour tour across Michigan to announce the lucky recipients of grants ranging from $5,000 to $50,000.
The first press conference took place at our flagship store in Warren where past recipients spoke about the positive impact 2009's donation had on their charities. From feeding children and providing support to families coping with domestic violence to serious medical conditions. And, last year's recipients were able to leverage the Art Van grants to raise an additional $4 million in donations.
But we didn't stop there. To raise more awareness about these remarkable charities, we created http://artvancharitychallenge.com/. This website featured bio's on each charity and a donation functionality. We also asked people to vote for their favorite charity. The charity that received the most votes would be given an additional $25,000 check.
Charities like HAVEN and Ozone House tapped into their supporter base with e-mails, while DADiaperBank took to social media. A digital billboard was even donated to promote Paws With A Cause. In the final stretch, Grace Centers of Hope and Paws were running neck and neck toward the finish line, with Grace Centers ultimately winning the check.
After the winner was announced, the gracious Paws With a Cause posted this on their facebook page:
Many thanks to ALL PAWS FB friends and family who voted fro PAWS in the Art Van Charity Challenge Bonus Grant voting! While we took second place, we truly appreciate your support and that of Art Van Furniture's! In the end, we all 'won' because of the community awareness this opportunity provided all 50 winners…thanks again for supporting PAWS!
And Whaley Children's Center wrote:
We had a child named Jacob arrive on Friday, it was freezing that day, his case worker came and said "Miss Karen we have a problem" Jacob's bag he brought is full of toys, no clothes. He had on only what he was wearing. I stepped back, swallowed hard so I wouldn't cry and said, "Dude lets go up in my donation closet and shop for some clothes". We found a coat that fit and boots too, he said thank you for every item of clothes (no matter how tattered) that I gave him. I came down into our lobby area and started to cry wishing I could help every child, every way possible, then I looked at the Art Van check proudly displayed on the mantle in that room, and my heart was happy because you guys cared and shared! Please let everyone know that this has been an amazing uplifting experience for all of us here!
Detroit Meets New York
In October, we brought the Big Apple to the Motor City for a spectacular gala to benefit Henry Ford Health System. Faster than a New York-minute, our Tech store was transformed into signature NYC neighborhoods like Chinatown, SoHo, Central Park, and Times Square.
Over 600 guests enjoyed the sights, sounds, and flavors of "the city that never sleeps." They were even treated to a Broadway revue. Most importantly, 100% of the proceeds raised from ticket sales went directly toward the services and research being done at the Henry Ford Neuroscience Institute and the Hermelin Brain Tumor Center at Henry Ford Health System.
Strike up the Parade!
One of the most legendary moments in Art Van Furniture's 51-year history is the moment Mr. Van Elslander received a eleventh-hour call from The Parade Company. It was 1990 and due to lack of sponsorship, America's Thanksgiving Parade was in danger of being permanently cancelled.
With the simple act of writing a $200,000 check, Mr. Van operationally brought the Parade from the brink of death, and in the process inspired other businesses to get on board. The Parade went on as planned, and the following year Mr. Van announced that we would match the contributions of other business up to $100,000. From there, things really started to take off and the Parade once again gained momentum to continue the cherished tradition of bringing families together on Thanksgiving morning.
We are proud to say that 2010 was Art Van Furniture's 21st year of sponsorship. In the wee hours of November 25th, Art Van employees from all over the metro Detroit area descended upon Detroit to take their place alongside the "Knights of the Charitable Round Table" float and assist in blowing up the crowd favorite 48″ Flicker the Dragon balloon. And as a special treat this year, Deidre Hall, best know for her role as Dr. Marlena Evans on NBC's daytime drama Days of our Lives, rode in the Parade with Mr. Van.
Afterwards, she shared a Thanksgiving meal with the women at Genesis House III in Detroit. She also participated in two in-store book signings where she autographed copies of her latest book, Kitchen Close-up, in exchange for donations to the shelter.
And that's how we measure a year. We hope you've enjoyed our stroll down memory lane. These events are just a snapshot of the ways we're involved in our communities. We also participate as sponsors for festivals and cultural events around the state, and we treasure the value of being able to share it with each one of you.
Here's to many more wonderful opportunities to give in 2011! Happy New Year!

If a person does not have an email link by their name on the tune pages, try a private message via the Chiff & Fipple message board.
Links to our
contributors' own
musical websites:
Sanders (aka
Link Page to other Irish and Scottish Music mp3/etc sites.
Grapic image sent in by Devon Finnigan
Hello. Welcome to
Tin Whistle Tunes, formerly known as Clips and Snips
Why we're here
This site is here as a forum for tinwhistle players to post and share tunes. (Tinwhistle includes instruments made of a variety of materials from plastic to metal and wood and are defined as "end-blown fipple flutes." They can cost from $4 to over $300. They are more commonly played in traditional Irish music, but are not limited to it. In case the current illustration does not contain the instrument, it is simply a 6-holed tube with a mouth piece on the end similar to a coach's whistle.) Most of the music posted on the site is traditional Irish, but there is a variety that goes far beyond that tradition. Click on the tune categories at upper left (Jigs, Reels, etc) or jump to the Newspage for the most recent additions.
Who we are
Special thanks to all those that support the site by sending in their tunes to share with the community. Contributions have come in from many countries around the world. I recall that people from Australia, Philippines, Singapore, England, Ireland, Spain, Argentina, Canada, and the US have submitted music. (Sorry if I've overlooked your country. Let me know.) Most contributors are members of the Chiff & Fipple message board, which is a subsidiary of the multinational megalithic tinwhistle consortium, Chiff and Fipple, managed and manipulated by the undisputed king of poststructural internet tinwhistle journalists, Dale Wisely. Dale, in turn, looks for guidance from, and is intermediary for the human race, to an alien race he calls The Crystal People. (Don't disbelieve everything you read on the web.)
You need to get a recording of yourself however you like: tape recorder, minidisc player, mp3 player, or least favorite: plug mic into mic jack in computer sound card. (Going directly to the computer seems to add the most extraneous noise.) You need a connection from your recording device, usually 1/8" plug such as you'd need for small headphones going from the line out of your device to the line in of your computer sound card. You'll have software that will record at least 1 minute of recording. You can download various shareware programs, such as goldwave, which will allow you to record more and edit besides. Goldwave will let you save your sound as an mp3 or about 15 other formats. At this point you have a saved file you can play on your computer. You can burn that to a cd or email it as an attachment to be uploaded to my site or upload it to your own.
If you would like
to post a tune to the site, create an mp3 file of a recording of
yourself playing a tune on the whistle. (We've also posted tunes
played on other instruments. If it's on whistle, it doesn't need
to be exclusively celtic-style.) The audience is basically whistle
and/or celtic oriented. Email a file attachment to me at:
Our loosly enforced
rules: Anything on the whistle, celtic tunes on any instrument,
any folk/traditional tune on a suitable folk instrument. Copyrighted
music that you don't have permission to use is disallowed. Remember
who the audience is; don't expect to see your electric punk garage
band file make it onto the site.
How to get your music online
All clips will be in mp3 format to conserve space. I check the compression rate and resave to Layer 3 16000Hz mono 48bps. This preserves decent sound quality and keeps file size reasonable. Length of file in time will create a larger file. That is fine and no problem. Submissions usually run under 3minutes, but exceeding that is okay. We are trying to keep file sizes under 800kb. I have occasionally run files through a filter to increase sound volume, and rarely, to filter out excessive static or trim off excess silence at the end or beginning. Feel free to express your concerns when you send a file. If you need help with how to make an mp3 file, or how to attatch one to an email, feel free to email me questions, and I will happily give you information on audio recording software/freeware, mp3 authoring freeware and walk you through attatching a file. These questions are glady answered on the Chiff&Fipple message board, as well. An option is to put your file on your own website and send me the url. Realize that larger format files give some people trouble when they try to listen to them.
Troubleshooting sound
If you have trouble listening to a tune (it skips/repeats a 1/2 second interval), you can right click on a link, choose "save target as," wait a moment for it to do its thing, then download the tune to your harddrive before you listen. You can listen to a tune you downloaded while you are downloading another to save time. If the link seems to be fouled up, post a message on the board or email me.
Other contributions
If you would like to submit a suitable jpg graphic
to grace the top of the page, email it to me. A whistle or celtic
theme would work, but I don't want to limit your imagination or
creativity. We can keep the image up (with credit to the artist
and link, if you like) for at least a month. If there are many submissions,
maybe we'll start a gallery. Keep it to about 30kb and
about the size of the current image.

Ongoing renovation at the historic Brand Library and Art Center in Glendale forced organizers to secure a new location for this year's annual art exhibition, but they found a willing and generous venue in the Burbank Creative Arts Center.
Juror Bonese Collins Turner culled carefully through hundreds of entries from across the United States to choose various award winners for "Brand 41: Works on Paper: Memories," which remains open through Wednesday.
The Burbank Creative Arts Center is much smaller than the Brand Gallery, but there is plenty of room to display the winners and a reasonable representation of the entries, all of which are de facto honorable mentions.
Winner of the Robert Brown Award was Shelley Powsner for her mixed-media collage "Migration." Its horizontal format reads like a book with green, taupe and tan pages layered to recede out and pop in, giving the illusion of depth and texture.
The Jane Friend Purchase Award went to Judy Faulkner for her photograph "Salt Marsh House," which depicts a haunting night scene, with diffuse moonlight reflections off the marsh and rooftop of a waterside house. The contrast is brilliant. Faulkner's photograph will be added to the resident collection at the Brand Gallery.
Bridget Klappert won the Brand Associates Award for "Zigzags," an engaging pen, ink and marker piece that is right out of Andy Warhol's Pop Art scene, both energized and dizzying, jerking the viewer's eyes across this brightly colored piece. Klappert's hand-drawn work is a meticulous original.
Other award winners include Knarik Gevorkyan (the Craig Turner Award) for his "Unknown Artist" (ink); the Pat Zeider Award went to Ruth Gregory for "Forgotten Season" (colored pencil/graphite); Gregory Radionov received the Ripsime Marashian Award for his watercolor, "Home Alone: Social Networking"; and the Gerald and Georgia Brommer Award went to Kay B. Snodgrass for the etching, "Royal Flock."
Honorable mentions include Bruce Burr's surreal photo, "Future Getty Villa," offering a perspective from beneath a Greek Doric colonnade and out across an ocean under clouded skies, with floating geometric planes. Its crisp, dreamlike quality is reminiscent of Salvador Dali's playful perspectives and limp clocks. A regular contributor, Burr's work always reaches high standards.
Another nod must go to Sean Barnett's watercolor, "Stories of 31," which captures an earlier era with a sepia palette of three lunch-breaking laborers, their skin and clothing reflecting rust from the corrugated steel building where they are perched. Barnett sets a mood and masters a difficult medium. It is one of the most striking pieces in the exhibition.
There are never enough awards, and juror Turner must have faced an arduous task in making her choices for this exhibition, presented by the Associates of Brand Library & Arts Center. "Brand 41" is a wonderful and inspiring show.
TERRI MARTIN is an art historian and contributor to Marquee.
What: Brand 41, Works on Paper: Memories.
Where: City of Burbank Creative Arts Center Gallery, 1100 W. Clark Ave., Burbank
When: Open through Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Closed Sunday.

After an uneventful beginning, the confirmation number has achieved an important rank in the lives of us all, especially those who go anyplace, order anything or are involved in any form of commerce, no matter how infinitesimal and inconsequential.
You have probably noticed, but permit me to review the typical arrangement: After the completion of a transaction, the seller creates and presents a confirmation number to the buyer and suggests that the number be retained in a safe place.
The implication is that possession of that number is of critical importance to the buyer in case the seller, for some reason, fails to complete whatever agreement resulted in the issuance of the number in the first place.
"You should record this confirmation number," the seller usually emphasizes.
Time elapses. The deal in question is completed; despite its supposed importance, the confirmation number is never again mentioned. The seller is very efficient in giving out the numbers but has absolutely no interest in collecting them or even referring to them.
Just recently I completed a bargain deal on the Internet and made a note of the following confirmation number: 103-1157068-7349812. That is 19 characters with the hyphens. The total effort involved an expenditure of $4.58, including shipping. Did I really need such a major confirmation number for such a minor acquisition?
As I was wondering about that, I placed an order with another supplier for $19.99, including shipping. Here is the number generated, with 30 characters, which I dutifully recorded: 1601CC52-2B7A-709AOD964AA03B82.
Those monumental numbers prompted me to consider the importance that some numbers have assumed in our lives.
For years I went about my regular routine, whatever that happened to be at the time, totally oblivious and unaware of the important details regarding a card in my wallet. I had acquired that card as a student, and it has survived for all the intervening years, outliving many wallets and being shown to others on only the rarest occasions. It is worn and tattered now but still legible and serviceable.
It has a distinctive and ungainly number-nine digits unrelated to one another, randomly assigned. For years I did not bother to memorize that number. What would be the point? It was imprinted on the stubs that were part of my paychecks, as well as attached to my bank account and certain other documents. You have a similar card with a different set of nine numbers in your wallet.
I speak of my Social Security card, of course. Little did I realize on the day of its issuance how the status of that card would be enhanced as we ambled through life together. In those days, businesses had the authority to issue cards as needed. I was applying for a part-time warehouse position, but I couldn't be hired without a card.
I had always been employed "off the books," compensated for various odd jobs with no official status. I was working in what years later became known as the shadow economy. But on that day I completed some papers and an office clerk typed my name on the card and handed it to me, smiling as she declared, "You are now socially secure."
Numbers have become more important in the lives of all as the development of computers made it simpler to create, assign and track numbers associated with specific individuals. Those nine digits eventually became one of the two most important numbers in my life. Along with my date of birth (DOB), the Social Security number (SSN) is now an essential identifying factor.
For years, many individuals were fearful of the depersonalization of society, becoming "just a number." Has that happened? During a telephone contact a few months ago, a woman asked me to give "the last four numbers of your social." I understood the abbreviated term and immediately responded. She asked me to repeat the number. I did.
"That is not what we have here," she replied.
I was amazed. I repeated the four numbers.
"I'm sorry," she said. "That is incorrect."
Panic ensued. I knew the proper numbers, but somehow her files showed something different. I beseeched her to recheck her database, but she insisted I was wrong, that she had the correct data and that we could not continue with our conversation. I had visions of the wrong numbers being flashed across the Internet.
I finally convinced her by correctly reciting my mother's maiden name. She then completed the transaction and, naturally, furnished a confirmation number, which she urged me to remember.

I have a very simple but absolutely delicious recipe to share with you today- these gorgeously crispy and healthy Oven-baked Rosemary-Pepper French Fries.
But first, this: two of my favorite bloggers have honored me with the Nice Matters Award- the delightful Arundati of Escapades and the talented Priya of 365 Days of Pure Vegetarian. Since both are bloggers I admire, I am truly touched. Thanks, girls, for being so nice.
Arundati also tagged me for a meme about seven weird things about myself, and I must admit that at the beginning, I was a little flummoxed. I am certainly no straitlaced sweetheart, but on the other hand I live a pretty humdrum life. Weird people, on the other hand, are exciting, strange, fascinating. In fact, I've always secretly longed to be an eccentric.
But then I sat down at my computer, put on my thinking gloves and got in touch with my inner weird. Once I'd started, it was hard to stop at seven. In fact, I even had to get rid of a couple!
So here they are, if you care, seven little weird tidbits about myself. And if you don't find them weird enough, all I can say is, you are weirder than I am! 🙂
I refuse to wake up in the morning unless my dog Opie has licked my whole face at least once.
I hate Bollywood movies. Now I know that statement is going to make some people mad, but since it appears in this meme, I am acknowledging that it is a weird thing for someone born and raised in India. After all, Bollywood flows thicker than blood in Indian veins. But while I love a bit of brainless entertainment every once in a while, bad actors dancing like robots and carrying on in a hyper-emotional state is not my cup of chai. Sorry!
Here's a food one: my favorite veggie as a kid was ladies' fingers, or okra. Yeah, that slimy green one. And each time I went to a restaurant, I'd order french fries for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert!
Another food one- I can guzzle peanut butter by the jar, but I absolutely cannot stand to eat peanut butter cookies or candy. I don't even like it on bread.
I love traveling, but I hate to travel alone- something I do all the time for work.
I get really, really jealous when my cat, Pubm, chooses to sit in Desi's lap instead of mine. Horribly, I-will-gouge-out-your-eyes jealous. He'd better watch out!
I detest shopping – for anything. If I had a single wish, it would be to never again enter a store. Ever.
Okay, now that you've been entertained/bored by my weirdness, here's the recipe for those great french fries. I'm sure you won't be able to stop making- and eating- them over and over!
This recipe is my entry to the Ode to Potato event hosted by Sia.
Oven-baked Rosemary French Fries
- 2 large potatoes , cut into long strips as for fries, and washed a couple of times in cold water. Pat them thoroughly dry.
- 1 tbsp black peppercorns
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt to taste
- Put the potatoes in a baking sheet large enough so you can spread them in a single layer.
- Powder the peppercorns and rosemary together with a mortar and pestle or, less preferably, in a spice grinder.
- Sprinkle the pepper-rosemary mixture and olive oil on the potatoes and mix thoroughly.
- Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven about 35-40 minutes, stirring once or twice during baking to ensure all sides turn evenly golden-brown.
- Sprinkle with a little sea salt before serving.

Wenger would sign special player
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has ruled out another bid for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, but will strengthen his squad if a "special" player becomes available.
The Gunners head into the New Year as leaders of the Premier League, with some of their title rivals tipped to spend heavily as they enter the second half of a fiercely contested title race.
Arsenal have stayed in the hunt, despite limited attacking options which have forced Olivier Giroud to shoulder much of the workload as a sole striker.
Wenger tried to add more firepower in the summer, but failed to lure Suarez from Liverpool and will not make another attempt to prise away the Uruguay international, who signed a new deal at Anfield this month.
But he is looking for another big-name player to bolster his side following the marquee signing of Mesut Ozil in the summer.
"We are as many clubs, certainly on alert," said the Frenchman. "If something special turns up, we will not turn it down.
"But we are not as well desperate because we have a big depth in our squad. We have shown that because our midfield, for example, at West Ham and at Newcastle was completely different. We changed three players and we still managed to have a very strong team."
When asked if he had given up hope of signing Suarez, Wenger said: "Yes of course. There won't be any approach, no."
An injury to Yaya Sanogo has denied Wenger another attacker, but a fully-fit Nicklas Bendtner and the return from injury of Lukas Podolski have given him fresh choices up front.
"At the start we gambled on Sanogo, who has been injured until now and I thought that he could come in for some games and help us, but of course he has not been fit at all," said Wenger.
"Nobody knows what will happen because Bendtner is coming back in good shape now. Podolski is back, so we have a bit more choice up front."

A winner was selected from 136 designs submitted by 39 freelance designers.
App for Cat
It is a novelty app based on the silly but hopefully funny idea that cats are fascinated by movements. Its called AppForCats and the basic idea is that the screen shows a bunch of bugs/things that might attract a cat's interest.
For reference check out:
Pet owner's who might think it is cute to play with their cat by showing them something interesting on the iPad.
I would need icons of a cat looking at an ipad/iphone that are all similar but with different details for the different sizes.
I need PNG's in
72x72 and 57x57 (maybe same image)
They should be square (with out rounded corners) and without the shading that you see on the iphone.

OLR Bill Analysis
sHB 6525 (as amended by House "A")*
This bill requires public schools to include a total of 20 minutes of physical exercise in each regular school day for all elementary school students, rather than just those in kindergarten through grade five. (Neither the bill nor the statutes define "elementary school.")
The bill requires each local and regional board of education, by October 1, 2013, to adopt policies it deems appropriate concerning any school employee being involved, during the regular school day, in (1) preventing, as a form of discipline, an elementary school student from participating in the required period of physical exercise or (2) requiring any student in grade kindergarten through twelve to engage in physical activity as a form of discipline.
The bill also establishes a 19-member task force to study the effects of obesity on children's health and report its finding to the Children's Committee by October 1, 2014.
*House Amendment "A" (1) requires school boards to adopt policies on using physical exercise as a form of discipline rather than prohibiting employees from doing this, (2) extends the physical exercise requirement to all elementary grades, and (3) changes the task force's charge by requiring it to explore ways to increase children's physical activity instead of to explore the implementation of a tax on large-size sugary drinks.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2013 except for the task force provision, which is effective on October 1, 2013.
With regard to the policies the boards of education must adopt, the bill defines a school employee as a (1) teacher, substitute teacher, school administrator, school superintendent, guidance counselor, psychologist, social worker, nurse, physician, school paraprofessional, or coach employed by a local or regional board of education or working in a public elementary, middle, or high school; or (2) a person who, in the performance of his or her duties, has regular contact with students and who provides services to or on behalf of students in public, elementary, or high school under a contract with the local or regional board of education.
The bill establishes a task force to study the effects of obesity on children's health. The task force must:
1. gather and maintain current information on childhood obesity that can be used to better understand its impact on children's health;
2. examine the nutrition standards for all food the state procures;
3. explore ways to increase children's physical activity;
4. recommend the implementation of a pilot program, through a local or regional board of education, to schedule recess before lunch in elementary school; and
5. advise the governor and General Assembly on how to coordinate and administer state programs to reduce the incidence of childhood obesity.
The task force members must include:
1. the commissioners of Children and Families, Education, Public Health (DPH), and Social Services, or their designees;
2. the Children's Committee chairpersons, vice-chairpersons, and ranking members;
3. the Senate President and House Speaker, or their designees;
4. the House and Senate majority and minority leaders, or their designees;
5. a licensed dietitian-nutritionist with a background in food service appointed by the DPH commissioner; and
6. two members of the public appointed by the Children's Committee chairpersons, one of whom is a children's health matters advocate and the other is an academic, civic, or cultural leader specializing in children's health matters.
All task force appointments must be made by July 31, 2013. The appointing authorities fill any vacancies.

text: I managed to find a description of a "magic packet" on the AMD site and with a little more sniffing around found a perl script someone had wrote that sends magic packet (some stuff then MAC address of the card 16 times) to the card and the machine turned on. For some reason, it would only work if I broadcasted the packet to 255.255.255.255 along with the MAC address but it works. (If I sent it to the exact address it didn't) If anyone stills has anything to add feel free. I still don't fully understand this but I got it working. Jim -----Original Message----- From: beowulf-admin at beowulf.org [mailto:beowulf-admin at beowulf.org]On Behalf Of Jim Fraser Sent: Saturday, April 27, 2002 9:13 AM To: beowulf at beowulf.org Subject: LAN question... I am sorry this is not a direct beowulf question but I am trying to understand the whole Wake-on-LAN feature and Resume on PME# features on my motherboards that I am using in a cluster. I figured someone here might know more about this them me. (because I know very little on this subject and I am having difficulty finding out from the hardware folks info as well) My question are: 1) What exactly is PME#? My motherboard can "Resume on PME#" and in the bios I have it active and it says that if you can resume if there is traffic on the onboard network adapter or PCI LAN card and that I need an ATX power supply (which I understand and have) is there a special number or code that I must send the NIC to turn on the system? If I try and telnet to the system (while it is off) I get no response. 2) Is "resume on PME#" different then WOL? 3) what does PME# stand for? I am guessing but Power Management...something number? 4) Some of the newer external NIC's clam to support WOL and don't have a WOL cable that goes to the motherboard WOL connector (Linksys NIC's). In the manual it says that the cable is not needed anymore as this can be activated thru the PCI bus if your mother board supports PXE (which it does). Again, is there a magic code to have the NIC send a signal to the motherboard to have it turn itself on? Also, does it have to go in a special PCI slot? Any help you can shed would be appreciated.

Give Me Direction
The file system is very important to the site engine. If a directory isn't named right, the engine won't know it's there, in which case it won't load the files from the directory. So I'll explain the files system to the best of my ability (since I designed it, my ability should be pretty good). With the help of my friends "Windows Explorer" and "Adobe Photoshop", I made this little diagram to help explain it all.
Figure 1
The best way to explain this is to say that the directories labeled in black are the ones that must be labeled the way they are in the diagram; the directories in red are directories that are named depending on what is in them; and the blue is an optional folder in case you have images, CSS, JavaScript, or whatever you want to put in it that's relevant to your theme. It can be named whatever you want it to be name as long as the theme files know where to look.
The "ROOT_DIR" directory can be named whatever you would like to be named as long as the server is set up to know where the site engine files are, configure it accordingly to your operating system's and server's specifications.
The "inc" folder should always be named "inc". This is where all the engine files reside.
The "plug-ins" directory should always be named "plug-ins". This is the directory that we'll be putting all our plug-ins into.
The "plug-in_name" directory should be named accordingly, based on what plug-in is contained in it. This is also known to the engine as the name of the plug-in. That's because all the actual plug-in files are named "main.plug.php" so the engine knows the difference by the name of the directory it is in. There needs to be one directory for each plug-in.
The "blocks" directory should always be named "blocks". This is where all the blocks that depend on the plug-in, whose directory they are in, reside. Each plug-in directory contains one of these.
The "modules" block directory should always be named "modules". This is where all the modules that depend on the plug-in, whose directory they're in, reside. Each plug-in directory contains one of these.
The "templates" directory should always be named "templates". This is where all the files that define the templates for each site reside.
The "site_name" directory should be the same as the host that is defined for the particular site. If your site is hosted at subdomian.url.com the host of the site would be "subdomain", therefore the directory's name should be "subdomain" if the site is hosted at www.url.com the host would be "url", therefore the directory's name would be "url". There needs to be one directory for each site.
The "template_name" directory should be named the same as the name of the template. If your template is named "Default" the directory should be named "Default". There can be multiple templates for each site, but at least one per site.
The "images" directory can be named whatever you want it to be named. I just included it in the diagram as an example of where you'd put your images, CSS, JavaScript, or anything else the particular template depends on.
Here is an example of what the directory would look like for the engine running 2 sites, one of the sites having two templates, and five plug-ins, each with a few modules and blocks.
Figure 2
Note. The two directories that are marked with an asterisk (Fig. 1) can actually be renamed to anything you want, although that's a rather advanced topic that involves a deeper look into the database, the file system, and the plug-ins and module systems
That sums it all up for the file system. It's actually pretty straight forward and painless when you actually start to work with it.
{mospagebreak title=Wanna Go Out on a Data?}
The database is just as easy and logical as the file system — actually it's a lot easier. The first thing I'd like to show you is all the different tables, and what they're used for.
Block_location: This table contains all the data that directs the blocks on where to load, when to load, and what site to load on.
Blocks: This table contains all the data for the block's title, filename, plug-in dependence, module dependence, authentication level, and verification of what site to load on.
Group_users: This table contains all the data that specifies what groups a user belongs to and on which site.
Groups: This table contains all the data that defines the group's names.
Module_status: This table contains all the data that regulates what modules are initialized and for which site.
Modules: This table contains all the data that specifies a module's name, filename, directory, author name, version number, module type, and plug-in dependence.
Plugin_status: This table contains all the data that regulates what plug-ins are initialized and for which site.
Plugins: This table contains all the data that specifies a plug-in's name, filename, directory, author name, version number, plug-in type, and loading priority.

{mospagebreak title=Stop Blocking Me}
Now it's about time to talk about the block system. Don't worry if the concept escapes you; it's taken me a lot of time and trial and error to get this all working right. Since I'm such a nice guy, I'm going to save you the trouble and tell you all about how it works so you don't have to pull your hair out. The block system can be very confusing if you don't pay close attention to what it does. Working with the block system can cause a lot of headaches. Now, on to the block system.
The block system is very intricate, so take your time when working with it or it can get very out of hand. At the beginning of our class, define all the variables that are going to be used in the class. Since PHP5 had been in beta 1 stage, it allows you to declare your variables at the beginning of a class with public or private. We want to define all ours as public so they can be used elsewhere in the site engine. Here are all the variables we'll be using:
public $bcount;
public $blocks_list;
public $columns;
public $rows;
public $cur_block;
public $cur_tags;
As you can see, we'll use nine variables through out the blocks plug-in. $bcount is a variable that will hold the number of blocks that have actually been loaded. $columns is the variable that we're going to use to hold an array of each column that's in our template. $rows is basically the same as $columns, but instead of holding an array of columns, it's going to hold an array of the rows in each column, as we use the column. $cur_block will hold the data for the block that's currently being parsed, in our script. $cur_tags is the array that will hold all the block information that will replace the tags in our block template, with the actual block information. $blocks_list is the most important — it's an array that holds all the information about our blocks, information such as the block's titles, content, what column to load in, and what order it is in the column.
Now run our SQL query to select all the blocks that will be shown on the current page. Start by making our function. Name it blocks() so that when the blocks class is called it will automatically run the function.
function blocks(){
Now declare all the variables that we'll use as global. That way we'll be able to use all the data from the other classes in this function. We're also going to give our $bcount variable the value of 0 because we don't have any blocks loaded just yet.
global $sql,$plugins,$modules,$site,$user;
Now that we're started on the function, we want to start a loop to make part of our query; this particular loop is going to count the number of groups the user belongs to from the $user->user['gids'] variable that I'll go over in a minute, then it's going to get the value of each group ID. Then it will generate the part of our query that makes it so that only blocks authorized for users authentication level are selected. Just a personal tip here — when you make a script that generates a query or part of a query, it's usually a good idea to echo the query to the browser to make sure it's generating exactly what you want.
$b_grp.="blocks.group_ID = '{$user->user['gids'][$i]}'";
$b_grp.=" ";
$b_grp.=" OR ";
Now it's time for the meat of the blocks plug-in, the main SQL query. This query is fine tuned to select only the block information from the blocks that are supposed to be shown on the requested page, that meet a few prerequisites. For the blocks to be selected, the blocks must have a plug-in that's been initialized; they must have a module that's been initialized; they must have a site ID that's the same as the ID of the site that's requesting them; they must be within the authentication levels as the user requesting them; and they must be set to show up on the current page, or all pages. Another thing about the query is that we use the $b_grp, that contains our user group part of our query, in the query, as you can see in the following query.
(`blocks`.`block_ID` = `block_location`.`block_ID`) AND
(`blocks`.`plugin_ID` = `plugin_status`.`plugin_ID`) AND
(`plugins`.`plugin_ID` = `plugin_status`.`plugin_ID`) AND
(`plugin_status`.`plugin_status` = 'initialized') AND
(`blocks`.`mod_ID` = `module_status`.`mod_ID`) AND
(`modules`.`mod_ID` = `module_status`.`mod_ID`) AND
(`module_status`.`mod_status` = 'initialized') AND
(`block_location`.`site_ID` = '{$site->site['ID']}') AND
((`block_location`.`block_page` = 'all') OR
(`block_location`.`block_page` = '{$site->site['page']}'))
After the query returns the results in the $blocks variable, get the information from it with the _fetch_object() function that we made in the SQL class; this enables us to call the results from the query as an object. Then we'll rebuild it into another array that will be a little more user friendly to us later on in the project. The reason the new array is easier to use is because we set the array keys to the coordinates of the block; that way the engine knows that the block in the array that's set as $blocks_list[1][2] (read as blocks list column 1 row 2) as the 2nd block down in the 1st column.
$this->blocks_list['column'.$block->block_col][$block->block_row]['block_title']="Missing Block";
For example, if I were to replace the variables in the following code with their values, for the 1st block in the 2nd column, the result would look like this:
$this->blocks_list['column2'][1]['block_ID']= "4";
$this->blocks_list['column2'][1]['block_title']="Test Block";
The reason we use the actual words "column1", "column2", and "column3" instead of just using the column numbers is because those will also be used by the template plug-in to replace tags with the blocks in the correct column. After we build the $blocks_list array, we'll go ahead and call the function parse_blocks() which actually puts the blocks in loading order, then "packs" them (as I'd say) and sends them over to the template plug-in that we'll be discussing in the new article.
The parse_blocks function is an important part of the blocks plug-in, if not the most important. What it does is it looks at the list of blocks that we just put together in the blocks() function, and it puts them in order by column, then by row. After that it calls the block's template data from the template plug-in, parses it all into an array that contains strings of data that can be outputted to the browser, named $cur_column. Each array key of $cur_column is named as the column name that the data will be put into. After the array is built we send all the data to the template plug-in where it gets used and then sent to the browser.
This function is actually a fairly simple process. First we name the function, and set up our global variables.
function parse_blocks(){
global $template,$plugins;
Then we check to make sure the $blocks_list array have been built without errors
If the array looks like it's all right, we then get the keys from the array that contains all the column names that is produced by the template plug-in, and set them to the values of another array called $columns. We then start a for each loop that will select each element from the $columns array, that will then make yet another array based on the keys from the specified column element of the $blocks_list array. We then start another for each loop that will process the data each block in the $blocks_list array.
foreach($this->columns as $column){
foreach($this->rows as $row){
The easiest way to work with the current block at this level is to set it as the value of another easier to work with variable, we'll call it $cur_block,
$this->cur_block = $this->blocks_list[$column][$row];
After that's all taken care of, we'll go ahead and get "down and dirty" with our block data. First, set up a temporary array of all the data for the current block; at the moment the only data we're worried about is the block title, the block content, and the block ID.
To get the file that contains the block's content, we'll have to include it and set it to a variable. That will contain the data after it's been included. However, it's a little tricky to do that because if you just include it, all the data from the include will show up at the top of the page instead of in the block. To fix this we turn to output buffering. Traditionally output buffering will stop all data output to the browser until it's told to stop buffering, at which time it will send all the data that it stopped to the browser. In this case we'll still tell it to stop buffering, but instead of having it send the data to the browse, we're going to tell it to get the contents of the buffer, set it as the value of a variable then flush (also known as empty) the current buffer. This way we get all the contents of our include without it sending the data directly to the browser. After we have the content of our block, we'll add that to the $cur_tags array.
Don't worry it's winding down to the end of the blocks plug-in. now we have all our block data right where we want it. So what we're going to do with it is pass all the info to the replace() function that we have set up in our templates plug-in which will fill in all the tags in our block template with the data in the $cur_tags array. Then it will assign it to the $cur_column variable, using the column name as the array key. Then after all the loops are finished we'll send all the data to the function that builds the columns and outputs it all to the browser in the, in the templates plug-in.
{mospagebreak title=Insert Username Here}
The user authentication is relatively easy to work with — easier than the blocks. The most important thing about the user authentication is the security behind the login. The password is the most vulnerable piece of information because that's what everyone wants to get too. Setting cookies can be a security risk, if you don't use them correctly. With the following authentication methods, you'll be able to set a cookie that is secure, and on top of that you can use this authentication for every site that you host with the site engine not the mention you make one array that you can use anywhere in the engine to get information about the user. So let's get started.
First we need to define our class and the variables we'll be using. $usr will hold all the information about a user in an array. $username will hold the username passed to the class by the login form, and $userpass will, of course, hold the user's password that is passed to the script by the login form.
class user{
public $user;
public $username;
public $userpass;
Unlike the other classes in the site engine, we want to name the actual login function something different than the class name because we don't want the login function to be called when the class is called. So, I named it __check_login().n Also set up the global variables we'll be using and set up the password to match the md5's password that's stored in the database. MD5 isn't really an encoding, rather it's the calculated hash of the string that's passed to it.
function __check_login(){
global $sql,$site;
$pass = md5($this->userpass)
Now get all our user's information from the database. Put the query function into the fetch_row() function to kill two birds with one stone. After the query has been run, check to make sure that the data returned is an array — as it should be if it was a successful login. Then set the information in the $user with the corresponding information that we got from the database.
$cl=$sql->_fetch_row($sql->_query("SELECT `users`.`user_ID`,`users`.`user_name`,`users`.`user_pass`,`users`.
`site_ID`FROM`users`WHERE (`users`.`site_ID` = '{$site->site['ID']}') AND (`users`.`user_name` = '$this->username') AND (`users`.`user_pass` = '$pass') limit 1″));
$this->user['ID'] = $cl[0];
$this->user['name'] = $cl[1];
$this->user['pass'] = $cl[2];
$this->user['site'] = $cl[3];
In comes the group users table in the database; we wouldn't be able to do the next step with out it. After the user's information is pulled from the users table in the database successfully, run the following query to get the information about what authentication groups the user belongs too. Since all users belong to at least two user groups, the result would be an array, so once again use the fetch_object function to get the results, only this time put it in a while loop. Then during the while loop, set the values to the user['gids'] array.
$gids=$sql->_query("SELECT `groups`.`group_ID `FROM`group_users`,`groups`WHERE(`groups`.`group_ID` = `group_users`.`group_ID`) AND (`group_users`.`user_ID` = '{$this->user['ID']}') AND (`group_users`.`site_ID` = '{$this->usr['site']}')ORDER BY`groups`.`group_ID` DESC");
$this->user['gids'][] = $gid[0];
After the while loop, check to see if the user['gids'] has any values in it, if it doesn't, assign the group ID's for a visitor, manually.
$this->user['gids'][] = "1";
$this->user['gids'][] = "2";
Finally after the group ID's are taken care of, end the if statement that we started when checking to see if the results from selecting the users information, with an else so that way, if the user's login wasn't successful, manually apply the information for a visitor to the user array. This doesn't bar the user from trying to login again; it just sets the user array to what I like to think of as "default settings".
$this->user['ID'] = 0;
$this->user['name'] = "Guest";
$this->user['site'] = $site->site['ID'];
$this->user['gids'][] = "1";
$this->user['gids'][] = "2";
Final Thoughts
If you thought the blocks plug-in was confusing, just keep looking at it and thinking of it line by line. Follow the variables and you'll understand it really fast. It's quite logical in the way it works, and it teaches a lot about arrays and how they work. The authentication plug-in also shows a few nice ways to work with and utilize arrays in your everyday scripts.
The file system can be changed to your likings — just remember if you change it, that you'll have to update the plug-ins and module systems, and the blocks plug-in. If you have any confusion when working with the file system, it's always a good idea to make a test plug-in, a test module, and a test block. That way you can follow it by replacing the variables with the name of your test files to be sure of where the file should be.
In the next article, I'll be telling you about the template system and how to get your actual engine up and running in different environments. In the fifth and final article I can walk you through making a small site on your site engine, and hopefully by then you'll be able to see fully what it does, how it does it, and why it does those things. By then you should be able the expand it to fit your needs.

Don't Let Your Pets Get Overheated
When temperatures and heat indices soar, pet owners are advised to take special precautions to keep pets safe. High temperatures can be deadly for pets left without a cool, shady place to rest and plenty of water.
o Never leave a pet unattended in a parked car when the temperature is more than 70 degrees. When it's 72 degrees outside, a car's temperature can rocket to 116 degrees, even with the windows cracked. When it is 85 degrees outside, the temperature inside a car can soar to 120 degrees in minutes. Leaving a pet in a hot, unattended car is inhumane, illegal and can cause severe injury or even death within minutes.
o Act immediately if you see a distressed animal in an unattended car. Call the local police and the Humane Society of Missouri ANIMAL ABUSE HOTLINE 314-647-4400. A pet showing signs of distress such as heavy panting, unresponsive behavior, seizure or collapse needs IMMEDIATE attention.
o Make certain outdoor pets have access to fresh, clean water at all times. Secure plastic water bowls, never metal, to the ground so your pet can't accidentally tip them over. Dig a small round hole and place the water bowls inside.
o Ensure that your pet has access to shade at all times of the day. Your dog might be in the shade when you leave for work, but the sunlight moves throughout the day. Don't allow your pet to be stranded in the scorching sun.
o If you run or jog with your dog, take frequent water breaks for yourself and your dog. Remember that asphalt and concrete get hot quickly. You have rubber soles on your feet--your dog does not. On hot days, leave your dog at home.
o Do not bicycle or rollerblade with a pet. Heat stroke and possible death can occur very quickly, particularly in hot weather.
o When the weather is dangerously hot, keep pets inside.
o If your pet shows signs of heat exhaustion (excessive panting, vomiting, lethargic behavior), immediately apply cold water to your pet's extremities. See your veterinarian promptly!
o During warm weather, mosquitoes are prevalent. Make sure your pet is tested by a veterinarian for heartworm disease (a mosquito-transmitted, often fatal disease) and use heartworm prevention medication.
To report an animal in heat-related jeopardy, call
Humane Society of Missouri ANIMAL ABUSE HOTLINE (314) 647-4400
For more information on how to care for pets during warm weather months, visit the Humane Society of Missouri website hsmo.org or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Armored Core V just hit stores, Hawken, Reign of Thunder, and a new Mechwarrior are in the works, but is that enough? Commenter Tem Dejima doesn't think so, calling for more mighty mechs in today's Speak Up on Kotaku.
We need more mech games this generation. The current consoles (and PCs obviously) have the power to give us REAL mech games. Watching the screen shake as you walk. Bullet casings that could fit a person in them flying as machine guns blare. Mechs that actually feel like they have WEIGHT to them. We've got Mechwarrior coming, but I've never been a real fan and Hawken looks gorgeous, but the physics look like guys with jet packs and mech skins.
I want a game that plays like this video. I'm hoping Armored Core V doesn't disappoint. I can't wait to get my hands on it.
About Speak Up on Kotaku: Our readers have a lot to say, and sometimes what they have to say has nothing to do with the stories we run.
