On and on they go, and where they stop, nobody … wait, this has to stop?
Inevitably, though, not on Saturday night in Philadelphia, not with Clayton Kershaw again looking like baseball's best pitcher.
This is no "Amateur Hour" the Dodgers have going, but a run of historic proportions, made a tad more so with their 5-0 victory at Citizens Bank Park.
BOX SCORE: Dodgers 5, Phillies 0
It marked their 10th consecutive victory. It was their 19th victory in their last 20 road games. It left them 25-3 since the All-Star break.
And it means the juggernaut that is now the Dodgers has won 42 of its last 50 overall, baseball's best 50-game stretch since the Cardinals went 42-8 in 1942.
Otherwise, they're really struggling.
Actually their offense could get little going until Juan Uribe hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning Saturday, but the way Kershaw was throwing strikes, it hardly mattered.
Kershaw threw strikes all night, throwing eight scoreless innings and holding the Phillies to three hits. He lowered his major league best earned-run average to 1.80 and raised his record to 12-7.
Kershaw never had beaten the Phillies, going 0-4 in eight previous career starts.
The Dodgers managed one unimpressive run in the first inning, and Kershaw took matters into his own hands in the fifth, following a double by Uribe with a run-scoring double of his own.
The Dodgers looked like they were ready to break the game open in the first after Carl Crawford beat out an infield single and Yasiel Puig drove a hit into left field.
Adrian Gonzalez hit a hard bouncer that first baseman John Mayberry could not handle, and he was charged with a rough error as Crawford scored. Phillies right-hander Kyle Kendrick hit Hanley Ramirez with a pitch to load the bases, but the rally stalled.
Andre Ethier hit a comebacker to Kendrick (10-10), who threw home for the force to start a double play.
A.J. Ellis bounced out to end it, proving the Dodgers can't do everything right.
Kershaw cruised through his seven innings (79 pitches, 59 strikes) before running into his first trouble in the eighth. Casper Wells doubled with one out and then Kershaw walked his only batter of the night.
But he pitched out of trouble, Erik Kratz popping out and Carlos Ruiz striking out.
Uribe's third hit of the night was a shot into the left-field stands with two outs in the ninth for his seventh home run.
Brandon League pitched the ninth inning, leaving the Dodgers with 27 consecutive scoreless innings and completing their 16th shutout.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 68 diseños de 16 diseñadores freelance.
We are a small startup that is trying to create a new way to manage personal finance.
Our product comes from the need to simplify the lives of busy people who every day must manage their personal finance. With Prolagus we want to provide an agile structure that, with simple steps, can put order in their accounts, from bills to big expenses.
Mostly male and female, 25-40, in cities, college graduates, wealthy, trendy and (maybe) tech addicted.
Prolagus is the name of a living animal, if you want you can create a mascotte or something similar using the image of this animal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardinian_Pika). You can find others looking for "Prolagus" in Google Images.
Generally we think that the base colour has to be green: reminds the colour of money, the finance color, a green "relaxing" to strike people with the message that the website will help them through the difficult world of personal finance; also green is the colour of nature and symbol of care for the environment, of green economy and so on.
Anyways we leave you the inspiration to find other more suitable and original colours.
Design should include a simple image which can be used with or without the company name. To be clear the final design should include the company with stylized font but the image portion should also be able to stand on it's own.
We love these logo styles:
Graphic files must be vector images which can be scaled if needed.

Harry Reid's Internet poker gamble
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was trying to brand fellow Nevada Sen. Dean Heller a failure earlier this month when he wrote that passing an online poker bill was "the most important issue facing Nevada since Yucca Mountain."
Yet in doing so, Reid also elevated a controversial piece of legislation that is iffy at best to a defining element of his own legacy — as significant as ridding the state of a nuclear waste repository.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Reid attacks Mitt's Mormonism)
The effort to legalize Web poker and ban all other forms of Internet gambling by year's end is about to test Reid's much-touted ability to deliver for his state. If he does not succeed, the fear is that the nation will see an explosion of unrestrained, unrestricted Internet gambling of all types that could badly cut down on gambling junkets to Las Vegas and cut into the state's tourist revenue.
"We're trusting that Harry knows what he's doing," a top casino company executive told POLITICO. "If he doesn't, we are so screwed."
The issue, which had simmered for much of this year as Democrat Reid negotiated a bill with Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), exploded into an unusual intrastate, internecine battle between Reid and Heller, a Republican.
Reid had earlier this year tasked the Silver State's junior senator with rounding up 15 GOP votes to push legalized online poker, but not other forms of Internet gambling, then lambasted Heller publicly last week for failing to do so.
Heller insisted he's been making progress on his side of the aisle but countered that he, Reid and Kyl had all agreed the House should take action first on a bill — a claim Reid spokeswoman Kristen Orthman called "a bald-faced lie." (The House is making no movement, and none of Nevada's three members have initiated any legislation there despite Reid having declared this the state's top legislative priority.)
"Let's be clear, Sen. Reid has lived up to his part of the agreement and has the votes on his side in support of this bill," Orthman said in an interview. "The premise of [this] question speaks more to the ineffectiveness of those tasked with whipping [up] the Republican votes. Time and again no one fights harder for Nevada than Sen. Reid, and he has the record to back it up."
With Congress recessed until after the election, the bill now depends on the lame-duck session. Reid, observers say, is setting up Heller, who faces Reid's protégé, Democratic Rep. Shelley Berkley, in November, to take the blame if 2012 ends with no bill at all.

*The following also appears in the October 2012 (53.8) issue of Anthropology News.
Before the internet, AN was instrumental in communicating deadlines and details, as well as discussing issues through commentaries and letters to the editor. However, the web's accelerated pace of communication has made print AN content regarding upcoming events out-of-date by the time it gets in our readers' hands. We also see that some of the most passionate discussions about anthropology occur online, where almost anyone can join the fray. A persistent question in the AN office for several years has been: how can AN remain a relevant resource and member benefit?
In 2011, we launched anthropology-news.org to provide faster publishing and more interactivity with AN essays. In spring 2012, AN conducted its regular readership survey. The previous one was conducted in 2008. In addition to our standard questions about reader satisfaction, we wanted to hear feedback about the best balance between AN in print and anthropology-news.org. We used those responses, as well as AN -related responses from other recent AAA surveys to guide us in moving forward.
2012 Survey Highlights
As in past surveys, members continue to highly value AN. The common refrain was that it helped members stay connected to anthropology overall by seeing what's going on throughout the discipline. At the same time, many respondents struggled with what the AN editorial office also struggles with: a love of print but an understanding of its high cost for printing and distribution.
Anthropology-news.org is one year old, but we have to improve our communication about its availability, as only 38% of survey respondents had accessed the site at all in the four months before the survey. Numerous comments indicated a willingness to go to the website if they had known about it. Efforts to better communicate anthropology-news.org have begun with AN 's Twitter feed that launched in May (@news4anthros), share buttons with each online essay, and monthly email alerts about content.
Continuous Online, Bimonthly Print
The challenge for planning AN in 2013 and beyond revolves around the critical need to balance the print-online relationship and develop AN 's value for members without requiring a larger subsidy from membership. One way to maintain and increase AN 's value for our members, supported by the survey, is to adjust it to be more visible, more timely, and more interactive than other AAA publications. We are already set up to do this online. When asked about AN print frequency options to help with costs, the most respondents (30%) supported eliminating print AN entirely. The second strongest response was 28% supporting AN in print six times a year. Regarding the current frequency, only 9% indicated support for keeping it at nine times a year.
Starting in January 2013, AN will publish essays and reports online first—and continually—on anthropology-news.org. AN staff will produce twelve thematic series and issues instead of nine. By publishing online first, the site will publish more short thematic series as well and be able to address more timely topics.
The AN print editions will feature the best of these anthropological contributions from the website and matters of record for the association. The print issue will have a bimonthly publishing cycle that runs throughout the calendar year, rather than a generally monthly one with a three-month summer hiatus. This change can also help AAA reach out to our members who work outside of the academy. The six print issues will be published at the beginning of January, March, May, July, September and November.
By flipping the model—online first, print second—we can publish more rich anthropological content in a more timely way with more voices, and then share in print the anthropology essays that turn out the best, spark the most conversation, or are shared the most by readers. This will enhance the AN website as a location for ongoing coverage with an increase in essays and discussions. All content will continue to be archived in AnthroSource.
The print issue will continue to include traditional newsletter content, remaining a conduit for association information. Some content may be published on anthropology-news.org and in print, such as the president's column, association reports and death notices. These are items that generally do not appear on the AAA website or blog. Other content may be included just in print as part of the AAA historical record: election results, board minutes, donor recognition.
New AN
With this shift in AN's publishing schedule, I'm also implementing a few editorial changes.
First, AN will increase to 12 issues per year at anthropology-news.org and on AnthroSource. Each issue will include all the main content (calendar and items from the right-hand sidebar omitted) published on anthropology-news.org in that calendar month. Essays (whether Opinion or In Focus pieces) will be selected for the print based on web metrics regarding usage, user feedback via online ratings and shares, pingbacks, discussion, and overall quality and length of the piece.
Content on anthropology-news.org will continue to be publically available, open access to all. To accommodate the flipped publishing schedule and to conserve server space, online content will be open for approximately four months, rather than the current two months.
For annual meeting information, AN will continue to inform members about the annual meeting city, deadlines, major events, and the call for proposals. However, some information, such as time and locations of specific sessions, benefits from more accurate and up-to-date information by being available only online. We have already been encouraging section and committee editors to disseminate such details through their online AN columns and listservs to limit out-of-date information in print AN.
Section News will also change. Section editors will contribute columns online at anthropology-news.org, and may do so as often as any individual contributing editor would like. As with the other essays, those columns with a focus on anthropological work, commentary or analysis may be selected for any print issue. AN is also setting aside space for Section News three times a year specifically in print: in the March, July and November print issues. The survey indicates that members do not find print AN the primary way to advertise upcoming events or to remain in touch with their sections. Furthermore, 67% of respondents indicated strong support for having section columns online only. The primary means of communication for section meeting details should be through listservs and other online communication.
In addition to being able to publish at any time on anthropology-news.org, contributing editors and columnists will be given a higher word count for their regular columns. Each column can be up to 1,000 words, as opposed to the strict current limit of 700 words for print columns. Any column pulled from the website for print publication may be up to 1,000. And each of the three print columns Sections have per year may also be up to 1,000 words.
This new publishing schedule will help allow AN to reach out to more people, in a more timely, relevant way. We developed anthropology-news.org to facilitate the publication and sharing of essays about all facets of anthropology with anthropologists, and help raise the profile of anthropology among potential anthropologists, media and the general public.
As I write this, AN has a new essay on the website by Harjant Gill called "Unthreatening the Sikh Turban." The lead-in is about the shootings at the Sikh temple in Wisconsin on August 5. The essay shares insight only an anthropologist (or possibly a folklorist) could articulate. There will be more breaking news stories that could use the anthropological lens. AN is here to help you share that with members and the public.

For the past 25 years Ra Paulette has been scraping and shaping New Mexico's sandstone into elegant, man-made caves.
Credit: CBS News
"Changing the world is a tall order," wrote Ra Paulette on his website. "Art doesn't attempt to force change through direct action but to catalyze it by affecting the emotional basis from which change can occur."
For the last quarter-century - with only his dog for company - Paulette has been affecting emotions through his beautiful spaces carved out of New Mexico's high desert.
"Do you think you're obsessed with cave digging?" asked CBS News' Lee Cowan.
"Would you call a child being obsessed with play?" replied Paulette. "You wouldn't use that word 'obsessed.' You know, when you're doing something you love and are drawn to it, you want to do it all the time."
Paulette uses only hand tools.
Paulette calls them his "wilderness shrines" - massive in scale, poetic in their design.
He has no degree in sculpting. He's not a structural engineer, and he's not an architect. He is simply a man who found his passion.
A sculpted cave by Ra Paulette.
Paulette has dug about a dozen caves so far, most commissioned by those who want a piece of livable art.
Paulette showed Cowan his latest project. He calls it his magnum opus.
"This is the largest thing I've ever done," he said. "I'm taking all the things that I've learned in all the other caves over the years and finally getting an opportunity to experiment with gilding the lily."
His plan is not only to carve, but paint these sandstone walls, creating what he hopes will be a healing retreat -- a community gathering place, complete with a waterfall and pool.
He doesn't get rich off of creating such wonderful living spaces. "No, it's the process, you know?" Paulette said. "I'm having the time of my life."

Nonfree applications package guidelines
For many applications (most of which are Windows ones) there are neither sources nor tarballs available. Many of such applications can not be freely distributed because of license restrictions and/or lack of legal ways to obtain installer for no fee. Such software obviously can not be included into the official repositories but due to nature of AUR it is still possible to privately build packages for it, manageable with pacman.
There are multiple reasons for packaging even non-packageable software:
- Simplification of installation/removal process
- This is applicable even to the simplest of apps, which consist of a single script to be installed into
/usr/bin. Instead of issuing:
$ chmod +x filename
# cp filename /usr/bin/
- you can type just
# makepkg -i
- Most non-free applications are obviously much more complicated, but the burden of downloading an archive/installer from a homepage (often full of advertising), unpacking/decrypting it, hand-writing stereotypical launcher scripts and doing other similar tasks can be effectively lightened by a well-written packaging script.
- Utilizing pacman capabilities
- The ability to track state, perform automatic updates of any installed piece of software, determine ownership of every single file, and store compressed packages in a well-organized cache is what makes GNU/Linux distributions so powerful.
- Sharing code and knowledge
- It is simpler to apply tweaks, fix bugs and seek/provide help in a single public place like AUR versus submitting patches to proprietary developers who may have ceased support or asking vague questions on general purpose forums.
Common rules
Avoid nonfree software when possible
Yes, it's better to leave this guide and spend some time searching (or maybe even creating) alternatives to an application you wanted to package because
- Packaging ill software is a mess which is generally against The Arch Way
- It is better to support FOSS developers who generally care about users more
Use open source variants where possible
Many commercial games (some are listed in this Wiki) have open source engines and many old games can be played with emulators such as ScummVM. Using open source engines together with the original game assets gives users access to bug fixes and eliminates several issues caused by binary packages.
Keep it simple
If the packaging of some program requires more effort and hacks than buying and using the original version - do the simplest thing, it is Arch!
Package Naming
Before choosing name on your own search in AUR for existing version of software you want to package. Try to use established naming conversion (e.g. do not create something like gish-hbAUR when there are already aquaria-hib-hgAUR, penumbra-overture-hibAUR and uplink-hibAUR). Use suffix
-bin always unless you are sure there will never be source-based package – it's creator would have to ask you (or in worst case TUs) to orphan existing package for him and you both will end up with PKGBUILDs cluttered with additional
replases and
File placement
Again, analyze existing packages (if present) and decide whether or not you want to conflict with them. Do not place things under
/opt unless you want to use some ugly hacks like giving ownership
root:games to the package directory (so users in group
games running the game can write files in the game's own folder).
Missing files
For most commercial games there is no way to (legally) download game files, which is preferable way to get them for normal packages. Even when it is possible to download files after providing password (like with all Humble Indie Bundle games) asking user for this password and downloading somewhere in
build function is not recommended for variety of reasons (for example user can have no Internet access but have all files downloaded and stored locally). Following options should be considered:
- There is only one way to obtain files
- Software is distributed in archive/installer
- add required file to
sources=(... "originalname::file://originalname")
- This way link to file in AUR web interface will look different from names of files, included in source tarball.
- Add following comment on package page:
Need archive/installer is required for work.
- and explain in details in PKGBUILD source.
- Software is distributed on compact-disk
- add installer script and
.installfile to package contents like in package tsukihime-enAUR.
- There are several ways to obtain files
Copying files from disk / downloading from Net / getting from archive during
build phase may look like good idea but it is not recommended because it limits user's possibilities and makes package installation interactive (which is generally discouraged and just annoying). Again good installer script and
.install file can do work.
Few examples of various strategies of obtaining files required for package:
- worldofgooAUR – dependency on user-provided file
- umineko-enAUR – combining files from freely available patch and user-provided compact-disk
- worldofgoo-demoAUR – autonomic fetching installer during build phase
- ut2004-anthologyAUR – searching for disk via mountpoints
Advanced topics
Getting icons for .desktop files
Proprietary programs often have no separate icon files, so there is nothing to use in .desktop file creation. Happily .ico files can be easily extracted from executables with programs from icotools package. You can even do it on fly during
build phase (example can be found in tsukihime-enAUR).

Remember those really great ads for the 2014 Corvette and Silverado we thought were going to be Chevrolet's Super Bowl ads this year? They aren't. Chevy is instead going to be promoting at least the 2015 Silverado HD through this 60-second spot. It involves a man. And a bull. And a truck.
"Romance" featuers a man with a Silverado and a trailer buying a cow and driving it around to a place where he meets some females – the bull, not the man. I think what's happening is that the man loves his truck and respects the cow, but the bull wants to be with other cows, not the man. Or the truck. It's unclear how the truck feels about all of them, though. Is it into dudes or does it want to see other trucks?
This is how you sell trucks, right?

New York, October 18, 2011--The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns Monday's arson attack against a Liberian radio station and threats made against another radio station's journalists in response to their coverage of Liberia's presidential elections.
At around 3 a.m. on Monday, unidentified assailants in a red pickup threw a Molotov cocktail at Love FM, a station favorable to main opposition party Congress for Democratic Change, Jallah Griefield, news director of the station's parent company Love Media Group, told Agence France-Presse. The station went off the air for three hours and resumed broadcasting since the technical studios were damaged but not the station's transmitters, said Paul Mulbah, the station's owner, according to press reports.
Griefield told CPJ that the station had received threatening text messages and phone calls over its favorable coverage of the Congress for Democratic Change, the party contesting incumbent President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf's bid for a second six-year term in this month's polls. Nine opposition parties have contested the official results of the October 11 first round of voting that placed Sirleaf, a 2011 Nobel Peace Laureate, ahead of Congress' candidate, Winston Tubman, on the basis of allegations of poll-rigging, according to news reports. A run-off was scheduled for November 8.
In a Monday press statement, the Press Union of Liberia also expressed alarm at the harassment and intimidation of two talk-show hosts of pro-Sirleaf station Truth FM over their coverage of the elections. Unidentified assailants attempted to break into the home of Truth FM journalist Smith Toby early Monday, according to news reports, while his colleague, Patrick Honnah, reported receiving threatening phone calls and text messages, Press Union President Peter Quaqua told CPJ.
"Liberians have a right to hear reports and commentary on the full range of political opinions in the country," said CPJ Africa Advocacy Coordinator Mohamed Keita. "We condemn attempts to restrict that right through violence and intimidation against journalists. We urge the police to conduct a timely and transparent investigation into these attacks and threats and bring the perpetrators to justice."
Liberia National Police spokesman George Bardue told CPJ today that one suspect for the arson attack on Love FM was in custody. Monday's attack followed a Saturday arson attack on the headquarters of Johnson Sirleaf's Unity Party, according to news reports.
[EDITOR'S NOTE: The third paragraph of this alert has been corrected to reflect that Liberia's presidential term is six years.]

About Me
I grew up with two important father figures : a giant beta camera and Jurassic Park toys.
Through those you can see my entire life: the fascination of small monsters and this huge device, more than half my size, which could record everything I saw.
When I was 11, I got 'Lego Studio' a Lego movie set with its own mini-camera and mini-editing software. This was the start of so many stop-motion animations that I continue today.
Every morning before going to school, at the age of 13, I watched a film. I got up two hours before the classes began and before getting some instruction, I educated myself with Polanski, Spielberg, Weir, Kubrick, Lynch - to name but a few - for more than four years.
14 years old: I film everything. My friends, my dog, my parents, the sea, the sky, the moon, legos... I begin to build my own short-stories with my friends and what comes handy. In eight grade I co-direct with three classmates a 14minutes documentary about the Shoah.
I went for a scientific high school diploma. But, even though I have a real fascination for science, my grades doesn't hold up. I try to make up for my non-scholar mind in going regularly to a film workshop where we experiment video art. With the firm intention of doing things my way, and while discovering Kubrick's cinema, I decide to make a 50minutes film with some classmate and my own equipment. We then set up a paying screening which attracted some 200 viewers.
I did it again in twelfth grade with a second 50minute long film, the same year I would pass my high school diploma in science (baccalauréat S). The film, called Baccalauréat, is about the insecurities and self-estime issues with teenagers and got an article in the french magazine Marianne.
My high school diploma in hands, I went to Paris VIII university to follow a bachelor in philosophy with a minor on film studies. As I always dreamt of an open education in a humanist way, I certainly got what I wanted.
During the summer with my old high school classmates, we create a film society to help teenagers between the ages of 15 and 25 to make films, animations and music (in direct relation with cinema). I'm appointed president.
During the second semester of my first college year I became politicly engaged in a strike against french law LRU which could result to ending such curriculum as philosophy & cinema.
At 21 I was giving my first classes at University (What is cinema). Two years later I flew to New York to learn about cinematography at Brooklyn College.
Today I have directed more than 30 short films and 150+ corporate videos, commercials, music videos and I'm embarking on a journey to direct my first feature documentary.

Change usually means a time of adjustment and in the case of delaying kindergarten it could cost parents and school districts money. Right now SB 1381 moves up the cutoff date for children enrolling in kindergarten. It's awaiting Governor Schwarzenegger's signature.
The bill requires that a child turn 5 by Sept. 1 instead of Dec. 2 which is what it is now. The trend seems to be going that away especially among educated, middle -class parents who are already delaying the start of kindergarten for their kids says Valerie Ramey, UC San Diego economics Professor. Studies show that those kids seem to learn better.
A good explanation of the change is in the San Jose Mercury News. But it leaves parents with something to think about including child care. Since the cutoff date is being moved up, those children who ordinarily would have turned 5 by December 2nd will be too young to make the new cutoff dates. They'll have to wait another year and that means perhaps another year of childcare before they are eligible for kindergarten.
The change will be gradually phased in over three years. In 2012 , a child must be 5 years old by Nov 1. In 2013, the cutoff date is Oct 1 and finally in 2014 a child needs to be 5 by Sept. 1.
And there's another issue that's being debated. The money saved by having fewer children eligible to enroll in school is supposed to be poured into a "junior kindergarten" for those transition kids who don't qualify. But cash-strapped districts are wondering whether that's enough to pay for the new teachers and room and supplies needed for these junior kindergartens.
Ramey conducted a study that I wrote about in PropZero called the "Rugrat Race" which found that more and more college-educated women were taking time off or quiting their jobs to devote to raising their children to be college-competitive.
In other words parents are taking a pro-active approach to their child's education earlier and earlier. Although the Sept. 1 cutoff dates is nothing new (28 other states do the same) it's just a heads-up and something to think about for parents with pre-school kids.

Five Factoids about Popes and their Appointment
With Pope Benedict XVI's announcement that he will be resigning from office at the end of February, news organizations the world over will be scrambling to provide their audiences with interesting titbits about the Pope and the Holy See. I therefore have compiled this list for the benefit of media outlets everywhere, and fully look forward to seeing it reproduced in newspaper sidebars everywhere:
Before going into the conclave all cardinals are measured by the official tailor to the Holy See, Sticciuppi, so that the turnaround between election and announcement and appearance of the new Pope is not delayed by the production of the necessary white cassock, socks, Popemobile seatbelt, etc. While being measured before the last conclave, Joseph Ratzinger was gesticulating …

Men are from Carnival! Women are from Holland America!by Kuki, CruiseMates Cruise Director
Before I'm attacked by members of N.O.W. for this title alone, let's be realistic, if only for a moment. I am only half chauvinist. Around our house, I do what I want, but Mrs. Kuki lets me know what it is I want to do. The fact is, men and women are not alike, and both anticipate their cruise vacations in a distinctly different manner.
Through months and months of research-avoidance, and non-collaboration with women, I've come up with a "Kuki" look at the moments of cruise anticipation for each gender.
- Women have a constant urge to shop.
- Men are thinking their wives should have plastic surgery to cut up their credit cards.
- Women are cursing about not going on a diet months ago in preparation for the trip, afraid there'll be too many bathing beauties aboard.
- Men are praying there will be.
- Men are trying to find out if "the game" will be shown on the ship.
- Women are thinking, if "he" dares to watch "the game," the shops onboard are going to be VERY busy.
- Women are researching which beaches are best for snorkelling.
- Men are researching which beaches are topless.
- Men are wondering how they can get out of dressing for formal nights.
- Women are wondering how they'll get the men to look decent on formal nights.
- Women have begun mentally packing, itemizing what to bring along.
- Men are deciding which pair of shorts will look good after 9 wearings.
- Women are dreaming about headline entertainment
- Men are dreaming about their wives being entertaining.
- Men are thinking about how many entrees and desserts they can order without looking like complete pigs.
- Women are thinking if they only have one entree, then they can sneak in an extra dessert... and that the men look like pigs already.
- Women can't wait to play afternoon bingo.
- Men can't wait for afternoon bingo, so they can nap in peace.
- Women are imagining moonlit romantic walks on deck, or cuddling on the balcony at sunset.
- Men are wondering if they'll be awake to see a sunset.
- Women can't sleep in anticipation of the shopping in St. Thomas.
- Men can't sleep in fear of the shopping in St. Thomas.
If you've got "anticipatory moments" that come to mind that I may have missed, I invite you to share with them with us add your comments here.

William Goldman (born August 12, 1931) is an American novelist, playwright and two-time Academy Award-winning screenwriter. He lives in New York City.
Goldman grew up in a Jewish family in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, Illinois. His brother was James Goldman, a playwright and screenwriter who died in 1998. William Goldman obtained a BA degree at Oberlin College in 1952 and a MA degree at Columbia University in 1956.
According to Goldman's memoir, Adventures in the Screen Trade, Goldman began writing when he took a creative writing course in college. He did not originally intend to become a screenwriter. His main interests were poetry, short stories, and novels. William Goldman published five novels and had three plays produced on Broadway before he began to write screenplays. He wrote mostly serious literary works until the death of his first agent when he then began writing thrillers starting with Marathon Man.

An Indiana Senate committee has backed tougher limits on quantities consumers may buy of cold medications that can be used to make methamphetamine.
The Senate's Criminal Law Committee voted 10-0 Tuesday in favor of the bill that would allow the purchase of up to 61 grams a year of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. That's about an eight-month total of the current law's monthly limit of 7.2 grams.
Some police groups have pushed for a state law requiring a doctor's prescription for those medicines, but the bill doesn't take that step.
Bill sponsor Sen. Carlin Yoder, R-Middlebury, says he believes people with allergies and occasional illnesses will still be able to buy enough medicine under the tighter limits.
The bill now goes to the full Senate for consideration.

Hi there, i am new on this forum and wanted to share this with you all..
Of course you want to give your kids the opportunity to learn how to kitesurf. And of course you want to keep them as save as you can... My kids are out on the streets on their waveboard all the time. I decided to give them an old bar and a Nasa Chute to play with. Gave them the instruction to sent the kite up (or reverse) to brake and drop the bar in case of panic.. This is the result of the first! session. Fun happy faces, and the girls even self invented sinusing the kites...
Rosa (12) [youtube]http://youtu.be/2K2gz-oHuNc[/youtube]
And Elise (10) [youtube]http://youtu.be/JSB5KHN7JUc[/youtube]
We use no lines or just short lines because of the streetlights etc.. but also for self relaunch convenience. I am sure that this practice will be of great use when starting on the water. Hope that this suggestion is of any use to you kiting fathers and mothers.. and your kids
Edit... Hmm... Youtube embed doesnt seem to work...

Grey Posies Nine Patch
So far I am holding up to my goal to Finish Up! I've been busy, and I've got this whole stack to show you. (before you get too amazed, these four quilts were all small lap or baby size, and they mostly needed quilting and binding) Right now my laptop is very sluggish so it's taking a long time to upload and edit photos, so I'll start with the top quilt.
About a year ago, I made a set of nine patch blocks just for the fun of it. I used some pretty random fabrics! I loved these little blocks, and always planned to sash them and make a little quilt, but I could never decide what fabric to use as sashing.
I kinda figured I'd go with a solid cream. Very safe, and it would have looked nice. I know I would have liked it. Then for some reason I spied this grey posies print (from Flea Market Fancy by Denyse Schmidt) It was sitting modestly on the shelf so I pulled it out as an option. Hmmm.... I really liked it but worried that it would be too busy.
So I let these blocks sit for a few more months, and then one day I just decided to go for it! I think I like it! I probably wouldn't do this every day, but it works here.
And then I used this chevron fabric by Moda. I'm so sad this one is no longer available! I know that Riley Blake has a similiar fabric, but I don't like it quite as well. The only reason for this is that I love the deeper golden shade of this one, compared to the lighter yellow of the Riley Blake fabric.
Quilt Dimensions:36"wide by 45"? long.

Florida's Jeff Driskel left the field on crutches after injuring his right leg in the Gators' 31-17 win over Tennessee on Saturday, and later it was reported the junior quarterback broke his right foot —causing him to miss the remainder of the season.
Driskel, already playing with a brace on his sprained left knee, was injured while throwing an interception in the first quarter. He fractured his fibula, the smaller bone in the lower leg, Gators coach Will Muschamp said.
HIGHLIGHTS: How the top 25 fared in Week 4
FOR THE WIN: Florida-Tennessee a hilarious showing
Devaun Swafford picked off the pass and returned it 62 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead. Marlon Walls pulled Driskel to the ground as he released the ball. Driskel tried to get up, but then dropped back to the turf and called for trainers.
"I'm disappointed for Jeff because he's worked extremely hard for this season,'' Muschamp said.
Driskel limped off the field a few minutes later, got checked on the sideline and used crutches to get to the locker room.
Junior Tyler Murphy replaced Driskel on the next drive. Murphy had never thrown a pass in college, a significant depth problem coaches knew they would face if Driskel got hurt this season.
"One man's misfortunes are another man's opportunities," Muschamp said. "Tyler Murphy certainly took advantage of his opportunity. We are proud of him. We told the football team in the locker room that (Murphy) is a great example of a guy who showed that when your number is called at the University of Florida, you better respond at a high level.''
Murphy completed 8 of 14 passes for 134 yards. He also ran 10 times for 84 yards. His biggest mistake was taking a snap off his facemask, a botched play that resulted in a fumble. He finished with seven turnovers in his debut.
"It hasn't really hit me yet,'' said Murphy. "It was always in the back of my mind I might never play."
With Driskel ruled out for the season, Murphy's play in Florida's handling of Tennessee proved to be promising. The Gators finished with 382 total yards, 162 more than the Vols.
"He's like an old man,'' said Florida running back Mack Brown, who ran for 86 yards on 24 attempts and watched Murphy calmly take over. "He's always been like that.''
Cornerback Marcus Roberson (knee) missed the game, and fellow cornerback Loucheiz Purifoy left after sustaining a thigh bruise in the second half. Defensive back Brian Poole was ejected early in the fourth quarter for targeting. The play was upheld after review, meaning Poole will miss the first half of next week's game at Kentucky.

About Brett R.Close
Structured to reading sheet music and ear training. Includes music theory chord progressions and modal types. Time signature and rhythm is heavily taught, as well. Styles can include everything from Classical to Pop, Ragtime to Rock n' Roll!
About Brett
ENJOYMENT OFFERED. Very enthusiastic and
experienced musician available for instruction offering the following:
# In-depth written music theory coupled with an equivalent of ear training and tone
# Introduction to performance skills with instruments that include:
Guitar - electric & acoustic
Drum Kit and percussion rhythms
# Group lessons or private instruction, depending on personal preferences and age
experience includes:
1) 15 years of GUITAR: professional performance
and composition. Styles include rock, folk, blues, chord
progressions, and alternate tuning.
2) 15 years of DRUMS and PERCUSSION: Latin, swing, blues, as well as rock, funk, punk, and reduced to
3) 15 years of PIANO: which utilize
several years of personal instruction in classical, popular, and some ragtime,
in addition to an intimate knowledge of Piano Proficiency (scales & modes,
chord structures & inversions, common chord progressions, intervals, circle
of 5th, and finger exercises)
4) 2 years of MUSIC THEORY and COMPOSITION at college level.
Lessons will include additional materials to the primary instrument such as sheet music for
sight reading, rhythm patterns, tabletures, and chord charts.
***Above all, I encourage students to select those pieces, tunes, or songs that have appealed to them the most; perhaps even inspiring them to learn a musical instrument in the first place. Adaptations are a common and enjoyable part of the teaching process.
*** Lesson Details ***
Expect efforts, on my part, to steer learning into areas of the students particular interest as well as conventional genres such as classical, popular, folk, blues, etc...
Moreover, I rely on ear training as a strong complement to written music theory and sight-reading; often using recorded music samples or simple patterns on a piano.
I try to balance method-type published lesson books with beginner, intermediate, or original composition sheet music to specifically selected pieces.
Ideally, with a reasonable practice schedule each week, full comprehension of the written music grand staff and an ear to catch a false note will become second nature. By then, more opportunities to learn actual pieces and styles become greater, having got the initial learning curve under the students belt.
*** Studio Equipment ***
*snare drum
*electronic keyboard/piano
*** Travel Equipment ***
lesson material/music media samples can be provided for copy
student would have own instrument

Piano skills help all musicians, whether or not it is your primary instrument or not!!!
About David
My name is David, and I am a music teacher of many different subjects. These include guitar, piano, bass, ukulele, recording, music theory, production, composition and film music composition.
All styles, and all ages. Classical, Rock, Alternative, Slide Guitar, Blues, Jazz, and more!
I have a Masters Degree in music from The University of Melbourne in Australia, as well as having the distinction of a Bachelors Degree in Music from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle.
Hello! :)
Many times a student will come to me after having been with another teacher for some time,.. they express to me that the other instructor did not teach them what they wanted to learn, nor did they achieve the result that they wanted.
The instructor perhaps had them mired in endless exercises and studies that were great
I find that when I get right down to the nitty gritty of playing, and show my students a song they love and know, and get them playing guitar by the end of the session that they are usually thrilled and excited.
In the end it makes them work harder and practice long because THEY ARE PLAYING MUSIC ON THE GUITAR!!!
Certainly exercises are of paramount importance, but when you can make that connection with a student and help them to relate to the guitar the exercises are ultimately easier to them, and the experience of playing guitar an enjoyable and less alienating task.
Grab your guitar and start today!! Let's get you playing TODAY!!!!
"I've been working with David for a couple of months, and it has been a great experience. I'm new to bass, with a little guitar experience--he quickly sized up what I knew and had me working on exercises and a great bass line that got me playing right away. He has been very flexible and accommodating of my schedule needs, and he gives plenty of positive and constructive feedback. I've been working in education for nearly 30 years, and I know a great teacher when I see one. David fits the bill, and I'm lucky to be working with him."
Rudy F., Principal
Middle School
"My son had been taking lessons for seven years and was losing interest. David's passion for music, knowledge of music theory, ability to read the student and know the best way to approach the lessons is exactly what my son needed. Along with his background in a wide variety of genres….classical, rock, jazz, etc. has made learning more exciting, resulting in a renewed interest."
Tammy S., University Place
"David is an outstanding instructor! My son is 5 years old and loves him. My son is occasionally a difficult child with his own special quirks, but David is so patient and observant and tailors the lessons as we go along week to week to keep my son engaged, encouraged and learning. I also have two younger children who must tag along to the lesson and even they are excited during the lessons and are already asking when they start their lessons! We will be starting at least one more child's lessons with him during this coming school year! He is great!"
Cherise H., Parkland
"Loving the relaxed atmosphere with David. Bargain prices for the one on one experience with such an awesome, educated and talented musician."
Raven R., Tacoma
"David is an amazing talent and provides me with much needed inspiration. In little over a year, I have learned a tremendous amount about nearly all styles of guitar, classical and lead guitar in particular. It's very helpful to have an awesome instructor who is extremely knowledgeable and very patient. His lesson plans are geared towards what I want to learn and the lessons that we work on cover all the techniques that are necessary to take my skills to the next level. He makes every lesson fun and he works with me until I am comfortable to move on."
Larry L., Gig Harbor
"David tailors each lesson dynamically to my own progression which has been great. Gauges progression and gives you things to work on before the next lesson. Highly recommend him!"
Kory J., Tacoma
"David has been our son's guitar instructor for the better part of a year. During that time we've appreciated his patient encouragement, especially during the early weeks of instruction. His ability to individually tailor his teaching to his students , incorporating their musical interests has helped our son progress quickly and helped keep him motivated. he really is a wonderful teacher."
Amy L., Tacoma
"Where do I begin? I started with a guitar and a couple of chords...(A lot of desire but basically an empty canvas)." 'This was my life for a number of years until I met David.
Now I must first admit, I am ADD so teaching me and captivating my attention is no easy task...David not only broke through that barrier but opened the door to world of music I had aways felt and now suddenly I could touch.
If you posses the desire to learn and the drive to work...the sky is the limit."
Wes H.
City of Destiny
Tacoma, WA
"I am very happy with my decision to take lessons with David. In just 2 months I've gone from strumming some chords to understanding picking patterns, learning how to put together an entire song, and expanding my techniques. I am very surprised at how much technical skill I have been able to pick up in such a short period of time"
Marianne B., Tacoma
"I'm 46 years old and my only known talent is for overcomplicating things. I've always admired a good guitar player and wanted to learn to play myself--who doesn't?--but felt I didn't have the talent or just "couldn't do it." Then I found David and he said, 'Oh yes you can. Commit to 4 lessons up front and you'll see that you can.' I took the leap and sure enough, he had me playing blues riffs in less than one month. All I had to do was listen and do as he instructed me to and it all comes very naturally. There's no stress, just a whole lot of fun! If you're like me and you thought you couldn't play guitar, start with David and just have some fun with it. It's simple. You won't want to put the guitar down again!"
Dan D., Tacoma
I had been playing guitar for about 5 years and had only been self taught. I found myself completely stuck playing the same chords and not able to play riffs or solos at all. In my first lesson I was playing the blues with slides and hammer ons and pull offs. In a couple of lessons he had me soloing in different keys and playing riffs from guitar gods! He was able to teach me in a couple lessons what took me years trying to teach myself! He makes lessons so much fun because not only are you learning the music theory but he relates it to popular songs that you can practice along with. He also has so much knowledge in other aspects as well. He can teach you about music gear and amps or help you compose your own music. He caters to your style and taste in music and can teach you ANYTHING!
Ashley A.
I love guitar period, but it's overtly frustrating when you have no idea where to start, or how to play at all. I went through multiple guitar instructors trying to learn how to play and each of them weren't very specific, or didn't hone in on any one thing at a time so you could really start to get it down and process it. Then we happened to find David, and he was really what we were looking for. I started picking up chords like no other, It helped, and is helping tremendously. He goes into depth about the song,letting you comprehend it a little more, and ultimately learning it quicker and better.
Skye R., Tacoma WA
I have had 4 different Blues guitar Teacher in the last 6 months, getting nowhere as far as really playing some Blues until I ran across David. The other teachers just wanted me to learn the pentatonic scales, Major and Minor. That took a lot of boring weeks and I am sure I will need to know those scales but I just wanted someone to show / teach me Blues chords, related to Blues songs and the timing to the chord changes so I could start playing some kind of Blues. I have had 6 one hour lessons so far with David and I am playing the Blues. The first 4 hours Dave showed me a E, A, B7 blues chord progression with some step up and step down notes. The 2nd 2 hours Dave showed me a A, D9, A7,E9 Blues chords and Blues timing with slides.
I take one hour Lessons every Thursday and in 6 hours I am playing the Blues. I picked up the guitar about 6 months ago, started teaching myself and not really getting anywhere. I am not a fast learner, about average in learning something new. Now I set a home Learning my guitar and polishing the Blues songs that David has taught me, starting to get FUN.
Les F. Tacoma, Wa.
Working with David has made me focus on areas of my chops that needed fine tuning. He provides the basic exercises and tools that, when practiced enough in a zen-like manner, clarifies your understanding of movement on the fret board, and makes you sound a bit more professional. Questions regarding speed, theory, notation, composition, and even string size, are ready for answer with David, which is what keeps me working with him. From begining, to intermediate, to professional levels, if you're looking to improve your chops, Dave's your guy.
Frank L., Seattle WA
I had tried many different instructors and had become very frustrated with trying to learn guitar. Within one lesson David had me playing ACDC and RUSH! David just has a way of explaining things so that they make sense and doesn't waste any time getting right down to the nuts and bolts of guitar. A lot of other instructors spend alot of time getting you 'ready' to play guitar, but with David we got down to playing guitar right away!
Stevie J., Olympia WA
"I started receiving lessons from David a few years ago, to improve my guitar abilities. I always used to tell people, "I've been playing guitar since the Eighties, though you would never know it." At the time I started, I knew some Metal riffs, three-chord Punk Rock progressions, and simple 12-bar blues. Though I took two guitar classes and first-year Music Theory in college in the early Nineties, the only scale I could say I knew was "blues pentatonic," emphasis on the quotation marks.
My goal was to relearn Modes/Scales, and brush up on theory, so that I could write more complex material. David taught me that, and so much more. Over these few years, I've learned Progressive Rock, Fusion/Jazz, and even some Country styles, as well as a great deal more about Metal and, yes, even Punk from David. I can play leads and solos with much more proficiency, in timing with the rhythm, and more tonally correct, than I ever could before. He has also helped me read music better, construct more professional-sounding compositions, and has started me on my own path to produce my own recordings, from recommending and using recording software, to capturing dynamics with mic placement, to mixing the rough takes to get the most out of the sound.
For a musician of any level or caliber, having an instructor like David is a true asset--for he has the knowledge and skills to take an entry-level musician every step of the way to becoming a professional performer, recorder, mixer, engineer, and producer. The only limit to the lesson's potential is your own level of determination, which David quite expertly helps you to improve with every session. Even if your goal is to simply learn to play one song on one instrument--and David teaches MANY instruments--he will have you playing that song like the musician who wrote it before you realize it--as long as you stick with your practice between lessons. That part's up to you!"

About Makala W.Close
The main thing that I like to remind students of, when they take lessons with me, is that music is FUN! A lot of hard work goes into it, but the end result is always rewarding! I am a pretty laid back teacher, yet I still work to inspire my students to try their hardest and to be the best that they can be at what they do. It is very important to me that my students get their musical wants AND needs fulfilled.
In my lessons we will work on a variety of topics, including:
-Gaining a feel and command for your own instrument.
-Finding your SOUND: Helping you to produce the right tones on your instrument.
-EXERCISES: Scales, Etudes, etc. to strengthen the muscles being utilized while playing, and also to build up muscle memory and accuracy.
-Music Theory and Ear-Training
-Building your repertoire, which is necessary for performance.
-Arranging and Communication with your accompanying musicians.
-Exercising variation and creativity through improvisation.
-How to ...
About Makala
For me, having parents of different ethnicity and siblings that were much older than me, I was heavily impacted by the wide variety of music to which my family members listened. The force of this crayon box of rhythms and sounds captivated and affected me so much that it is the key experience that I draw from in making my own music today.
I grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska (a small town in the center of the state) so my only option for entertainment and fun was getting involved in the arts! I started performing at a very young age as both a dancer and a musician. I studied classical ballet, modern dance, hip hop and street dance, and world dance traditions throughout my formative years, which helped me to gain rhythmical fluency. I started my
I moved to Seattle in 2003 to study opera at Cornish College of the arts, only to later change my major to Jazz, and then again to Latin music studies. Since graduating from Cornish in 2007, with my Bachelor of Music degree, I have been actively and diligently working in the local music scene; performing and recording with artists and groups of many different styles. Everything from various Latin genres, to Rock, to R&B/Soul, to Hip Hop, and Jazz. Through my music, I aim to reach out to people of all cultures. I also aim to teach my own students with the hope that they too can discover the same continuous love of music that I have grown to feel (and still am growing to feel) over the years. :)
*** Studio Equipment ***
88 key piano, cello, various percussion instruments, guitars, ukulele, library, computer, lessons are given in a private studio.
*** Specialties ***
As far as voice goes, I teach all genres and styles but I personally specialize in the Latin genres. I teach all aspects of the music; rhythm, harmony, theory. I even teach performance; how to work with a band in real-time communication, song communication (or story telling as I like to call it), and developing ones own personal style. I believe that there is much more to singing than just vocal technique alone, so I believe in teaching musical fundamentals and functions so that my students will not only be considered vocalists, but competent musicians.

About Joni C.Close
View Full Profile
Lifelong piano learner, college trained, and now teacher over the past 3 years, piano is my preferred choice of musical expression. I teach all ages (earliest 4 yrs); and customize lessons for each student depending on their personal goals and preferences. Beginners will find the lessons motivational and enjoyable. All of my students CAN DO! Lessons are logical, and based on a step-upon-step learning system. I also have success with intermediate students who may have hit the wall, or are finding difficulty moving on in their learning. I am committed to identifying that barrier (whatever it may be) and helping the pianist overcome the issue. I specifically incorporate keyboard recognition, music reading/theory, artistic expression, composition, and ear training and stress outside lesson practice.

I offer a positive, encouraging, growth environment that focuses on the individual interests of the student. My goal is to make beginning piano fun so they will want to continue when the difficulty increases. I also like to delve into theory in order to help understand music better. I have performed piano in the Naval Academy Glee Club for a President and specialize in teaching children. I would love to meet you!
About Melanie
I have been playing piano for 18 years and am excited to share the passion with others!
Music has been a special part of my life since I was 4 years old. I took lessons for 10 years and continued to play in college for the Naval Academy Women's Glee Club as the accompanist. While with the Glee Club, I had the opportunity and honor to sing for two Presidents and play piano for one, and sing with Beyonce as part of Obama's Inauguration Celebration.
I specialize in teaching children as I put a great emphasis on fun! I want students to have joy playing before it gets difficult in order to encourage them to play longer. Part of that is I encourage learning songs that they are interested in tandem with the course so they continue to love what they play.
I'd love to meet you and share my love with you.

text: Internal Hiring Guidelines Advertising Positions must be advertised on the UAH Joblist for a minimum of three working days before an offer of employment can be made. Weekly staff vacancies are advertised online through UAH's web site. A department may also wish to run an advertisement in a newspaper or professional journal. Staff Employment can compose an advertisement or accept a written ad from the department (subject to review and approval by Staff Employment). Each department will incur the cost of advertising. Application for Employment The UAH Human Resources department is pleased to offer an online application service for all staff positions. We hope that this service will allow us to process your application in a more timely and efficient manner. This process should only take a few minutes and you have the option of attaching multiple documents in Word or .pdf formats. If you don't have access to a computer, or if you need assistance completing your application, please visit our office between 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. A computer kiosk is located in our office in Shelbie King Hall, Room 102, for your convenience. View all current positions Position Authorization and Recruitment Form (PARF) email@example.com Before a position can be filled, the hiring department must obtain approval to recruit utilizing this form. The form requires information on the hours and days of work, employment status, location of the position, a statement of minimum qualifications (including those qualifications that are desired but not required) and budget requirements. Because this information is used to advertise and screen applicants for the position, approval is given by the Staff Employment Office to verify that only job-related, objective requirements have been stipulated for the position. The department should indicate whether this opening is a new position or the replacement of a terminating employee. The budget portion of the form should also be completed in conjunction with the Budget Office to guarantee that adequate funding is available. The PARF is available online. Additionally, if the existing job description on file in Human Resources is over 3 years old, you will be required to submit an updated "Staff Position Questionnaire" (See below for more information). Staff Position Questionnaire The Staff Position Questionnaire Form, also known as the job description, is completed by each department for all existing and all newly created staff positions. Its purpose is to identify the essential functions of a position and the minimum qualifications required for the position. Review of this form by Staff Employment helps ensure that stated qualifications are job-related and objective. Special attention is given to minimum requirements for a position matching those on the PARF. The questionnaire is also used in screening applications during the hiring process. All sections are to be completed, including the organizational chart and the physical demands section. Job descriptions are maintained by the Staff Employment Office. If a position becomes vacant that does not have a current job description on file (within the last 3 years), the department will be required to complete a new description before the position can be advertised. Forms: Word Format | PDF Format Salary Information All applicants referred for an interview have been advised of salary ranges in the Staff Employment Office. The starting salary will be determined jointly by the hiring department and the Staff Employment Office;therefore, salary information, reference checks, employment procedures and employment offers should not be discussed at the department level. Screening and Interviewing Report The screening and interview report must be completed on each qualified applicant (in the "yes" file) by the reviewing manager and returned to Staff Employment before an offer of employment can be made. The purpose of this form is to monitor the hiring department's compliance with Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action policy and the University's non-discrimination guidelines. The list of reasons not to hire is not meant to be exhaustive. More in-depth explanations are welcome. Completing the Selection Process When a candidate has been selected, Staff Employment will complete reference and/or degree checks on the individual, verify employment eligibility, verify starting salary with the department and then will extend a verbal offer. An orientation date will be scheduled with the Benefits Office and an offer letter mailed, a copy of which will go to the hiring department. New employee orientation is conducted each Wednesday in Shelbie King Hall, Room 127. Staff Employment will also send out the appropriate notifications to applicants not selected for the position. Temporary Services Should your department need a temporary employee through our temporary employment contract, please complete the temporary employee request form and return the form via email to email@example.com. Testing If a department wishes to test applicants as part of the selection process, all tests must be pre approved and administered by Human Resources. If a test is administered, all applicants who interview for a position must receive the same test under the same test conditions. The results of the tests will be weighed before the interview process begins and the results will be used in determining the hiring decision.

As we have noted repeatedly, the Democrats never stopped campaigning after the last election. They know they can't move the country significantly to the left as long as Republicans control the House, so everything they are now doing is intended to fire up their party's base so that they will have the kind of enthusiasm in 2014 that conservatives had in 2010. Can it work? Given what happened in November, I wouldn't bet against it.
The Democrats are sending out a blizzard of fundraising emails. They may be out of ideas, but they don't think that matters as long as they can raise unprecedented amounts of money and use it to demonize their opponents. This morning I, along with millions of others, got this email from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee:
There are only three days until the FIRST fundraising deadline since President Obama's State of the Union address — let's make sure the Koch Brothers know that there's a whole movement standing in their way.
Renew your membership for only $3: http://dccc.org/Renew
Kelly Ward
DCCC Executive Director
Note the gratuitous reference to the Koch brothers, who now apparently stand for something–God knows what. How many of the millions of Democratic voters who got this email have any idea that the Koch brothers advocate free enterprise, the system that made America great? Probably very few.
Not long after that email, I got this follow-up:
John —
First, the bad news.
A few hours ago, we alerted you that the Koch Brothers are shifting their millions to blocking President Obama's progressive agenda.
BUT here's the good news: Since this morning, over 5,100 supporters have stepped up, chipped in, and put a real dent in the fundraising gap. That's just in the last few hours! But, according to our records, you still haven't re-upped.
Well, no, I haven't "re-upped." Nor do I intend to. And there isn't any "fundraising gap"; the Democrats are, as always, awash in cash. What is dispiriting about this is how mean-spirited the Democratic Party is. They don't talk about issues; they never argue public policy in any serious way. They appeal only to the ignorant, with their moronic references to the "Koch Brothers," presumed to be monsters under the bed. It is impossible to imagine any administration prior to Obama's making such an effort to demonize private citizens for daring to disagree with entrenched powers.
For the moment, at least, idiocy reigns supreme in our political life. If conservatives don't do their utmost, idiocy will prevail in 2014 as it did in 2012.

Famous Japanese Restaurant
Branches:Antelias, Ashrafieh, Kaslik, Monks - Ashrafieh
Price:Between 25$ and 45$
Review by Souad
When you choose to go to Tsunami, it won't be for the place in itself neither for the show off, you will go for the superior quality of the food.
We visited the Antelias branch. The place is narrow with a simple Japanese style decoration. The service is good and fast. The real distinction of Tsunami lies in the taste and the freshness of the food. The menu is varied, you can look at their online menu to get an idea of variety and prices.
Tsunami is my first destination when I feel like eating sushi. Make sure to make a reservation in advance since the restaurant is usually fully booked.Write a Review

Feb 20, 2012 at 13:04I went to their branch in Jal El Dib and I was totally satisfied... the sushi was fresh and delicious.The restaurant is small but cosy and the staff is friendly and professional.They have combo platters but only for delivery so you have to choose the pieces from the menu which is more expensive.
Jun 2, 2014 at 16:41I went twice and both times I was disappointed. I hear lots of positive reviews about the place so I went there to test it and found that it was overrated. I continued hearing very good feedback about it so I said that I need to give it a second chance. I went there again, the sushi was good but not exceptional. As for the service, this is where I was disappointed. The waitress gave us the most expensive Sake on the menu when we clearly pointed on the menu to choose the one we wanted. We of course did not notice that when they brought the bottle as the names are all in japanese and all sounded the same for us :-). She didnt want to admit the error and we did pay for it of course but would have preferred a gesture or at least an apology. It was at Jal el Dib branch.
Aug 15, 2015 at 16:26Very bad experience. I usually don't write reviews but this restaurant was unexpectedly bad. Based on reviews, I thought it would be a good place to visit. Unfortunately I was very disappointed: sushi was bad, smelly and old. I spent the next two days in the bathroom and feeling nauseated. I would never recommend it to anyone. Avoid it at all costs.
Aug 15, 2015 at 16:56Very bad sushi. The waitress was too busy she messed up with our order. It's cheap - but cheap for a reason... Because it is not fresh. We ate half our order and left early. If you want to enjoy sushi go elsewhere.
