4.7 out of 5

the cuff kills the deal
December 30, 2011
I buy the size small glove according to the sizing chart. The hand fits great, it's warm, seem nicely constructed for a liner. The problem is the cuff. It's not stretchy enough. It's hard to put on or take off the glove without substantial pulling. My wrist watch does not fit in the cuff. I returned it the next day I received it.Pros: Build quality, Cons: Bad design
Warm on those cold days
October 19, 2012
I live up at 10,00 feet. It gets pretty cold even early in the season. I bought these to run in based on another review. And they are perfect for that. But they are also perfect for going out on cold mornings to walk the dogs or run errands or just drive the car. I really love these gloves. I do have one area that rubs at the wrist a little, it feels like a tag but I cannot find anything, otherwise no issues. And yes, I am a female buying guy's gloves but I have big hands and these fit like a dream in the medium.Pros: Performance, Ease of use, Great value
December 25, 2011
Great gloves. Very comfortable and true to size. They provide warmth for simple driving and are a great liner for winter ski gloves. Definitely will be purchasing another pair of mountain hard wear gloves.
sturdy and stylish
February 19, 2012
Nice Mountain Hardwear quality glove. Might be too narrow for some, great fit -regardless- without the bulk. The grey is a bit darker than pictured. Have not cleaned it, yet-handwash probably best. Good buy!Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Great value, Cons: on the narrow side
These liners are great
February 03, 2012
These liners are heavier and thicker than normal liners with lgood quality construction. I havent really put them to a hardcore test yet but so far I like em. I did Taichi for an hour out in 20 degree temps and my hands were toasty. I stayed another hour and did Wing Chun handforms and still my hands felt great. They also repel odors.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, warm, Cons: Cost
Great gloves but have to be dry-cleaned?
January 24, 2012
I bought these gloves for my husband; I liked that they were a blend of natural and synthetic material but did not like that only dry-cleaning was recommended for washing. Oh well, I washed them in some wool wash (Eucalan) and they seemed fine.Pros: Performance, Cons: rec dry clean?
Nice Fitting Gloves
November 07, 2012
These are light gloves for temps above freezing. Great to take along in your pack. Can be used alone or under larger mittens. Use alone for the hike up and as underliner on the decent.Pros: Build quality, Great value
Lana liner gloves
March 15, 2012
The MH Lana liner gloves are very comfortable and warm. These gloves have minimal stretch so be sure to keep that in mind when ordering the correct size. I think that they are dry clean only but I find that they are very easy to hand wash in the sink. Durability wise I would not be able to give a complete review since I haven't had them long but judging by the build and quality of materials I would say that they are built to last like most of the other MH items I have come across. These gloves also give good dexterity. I am capable of tying shoes ect. with them on which is a bonus.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance
Nice warmer for your hands
April 12, 2012
I purchased this glove to run in, and its great for that. Its soft, i can wipe my nose on the thing without worrying about chafin, and it doesnt make my hands sweat. I took them to work and they were dreadful at that. The fabric and "grip pads" grip next to nothing. Dont think you'll be able to handle tools, writing implements or much else for that matter. If you're looking for a glove to wear running and no where else, this is the glove for you. If you want something that can transition to a multifunction glove, look for another model.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great value

Crash claims life of Carrolltown driver
A Carrolltown man died Wednesday in a one-vehicle crash in East Carroll Township.
Richard Paul Duron, 35, was driving a Dodge Ram pickup truck east on Dutch Road when he lost control rounding a curve and the vehicle struck a tree about 12:30 a.m., Cambria County Coroner Dennis Kwiatkowski said.
Duron had multiple blunt force trauma and was pronounced dead at the scene at 1:34 a.m., the coroner said.
Speed was a factor in the crash, Kwiatkowski said. Alcohol was not involved, he said.
Irate customer dumps cheese, police say
A man who was upset that a bag of cheese he had purchased was moldy dumped the product all over the Nanty Glo Dollar General store's cash register on Wednesday, state police from Ebensburg said.
John Rummell, 42, of Nanty Glo had returned to the store after buying the cheese, troopers said.
Rummel was cited for disorderly conduct, police said.
Surveillance device stolen from home
State police are investigating the theft of video surveillance equipment that was stolen from the home of an Indiana County man who had installed it after a previous burglary.
Police said this week that the equipment was stolen from a home on Nowrytown Road near Saltsburg on July 1.

Brant wins drawing for Summit nominee
A pingpong ball decided Summit Township's Republi-can nomination for supervisor this week.
Township resident Greg Brant picked the winning ball at an election hearing, meaning he'll face Walt Lenhart, the incumbent and Democratic nominee, this fall for the seat, Cambria County Election Director Tina Pritts said.
Brant and fellow challenger Jeffory McKenzie tied this spring at 51 votes each, forcing the drawing to determine the winner.
After the ballots were counted in May, McKenzie said that he missed the chance to be his own deciding vote because he ended up working late to fix a water line break in the Meyersdale area.

Carl Hall and his family — and a whole lot of Wichita — were in the national spotlight Sunday when ABC aired the episode of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" that it filmed here in late February.
Hall, a former Shocker baseball star who was paralyzed in a car accident last summer, joined family, friends and local volunteers on Sunday evening for a watch party at the Orpheum Theatre, where he saw the episode that featured the creation of his new ranch-style house at 11026 W. Hollywood Court.
Details about the house had been kept secret by the family and by ABC until the show aired, but local and national audiences now know that the house includes an indoor gym, a batting cage that Hall can control using his breath, and high-tech voice controls that allow Hall to open doors, turn lights on and off and more.
The house also includes an elevator as well as equipment that allows Hall to bathe, sleep and move about his house more quickly and independently.
The show featured shots of Hall at Koch Arena, being inducted into the Shocker Hall of Fame during half-time of a basketball game. The episode featured several shots of Wichita State University's mascot WuShock.
It also included an announcement that the baseball fields near Nelson Elementary School in Haysville, where Hall grew up playing baseball, had been renovated and renamed The Carl Hall Family Sports Complex.
The show portrayed Hall as an upbeat, joking father who is doing his best to move forward with life. The episode was full of tear-jerker moments, including a recounting of the accident that left Hall paralyzed and interviews with Hall's wife, Stacey.
The show's design team added several personal touches to the house, including a wall in the master bedroom that was decorated with a romantic yearbook inscription Carl Hall wrote to Stacey when they were in high school.
Those who missed the episode can still watch it online at abc.go.com.

A Chevy Chase man is serving his 23-year sentence for murder in western Virginia.
As first reported by the AP, George Huguely V is one of about 900 inmates at Keen Mountain Correctional Center, a high security prison in Oakwood, according to the Virginia Department of Corrections website. His projected release date is May 30, 2030.
In February, Huguely was convicted in the May 2010 murder of his ex-girlfriend Yeardley Love, a Cockeysville native who graduated from Notre Dame Preparatory School in Towson. Love was found dead in her off-campus Charlottesville apartment.
Huguely and Love were both lacrosse players at the University of Virginia.
Notre Dame recently dedicated a turf field in Love's honor. Her mother and sister recently opened up about the former couple's turbulent relationship on Katie, a syndicated talk show hosted by Katie Couric.
Huguely's attorneys are in the process of appealing his conviction.

How yall feeling out there today? AJ Ghent called out. Yall ready to have a good time?
The crowd at the Second Sunday concert in Washington Park responded with a cheer to the frontman and steel guitarist for the AJ Ghent Band.
The drumbeat started up, followed by a bass line, as families sprawled on blankets or sat in folding chairs. Several hundred people filled the park, spilling up the hillside, for the latest concert in the long-running monthly summer series.
Carey Goodson, of Macon, came with his twin brother, Casey. It wasnt Carey Goodsons first show -- hes been coming to Second Sunday concerts since last summer, watching the crowd steadily grow, he said.
Its a good way to meet new friends, see old ones, Goodson said.
And, of course, theres the music.
Im a big jazz listener, he said. Anytime I can hear live jazz, Im for it.
Goodson said it was good to see a big crowd decided to turn out despite the late-afternoon heat and chance of rain. Hes glad the concert series has endured and hopes its success will spark similar events, he said.
Its a great atmosphere, a great park for things like this, so I just hope they continue to do it, Goodson said.
Sundays show featured the A.J. Ghent Bands first appearance in Macon, but the Atlanta group is booked to come back July 26 for the Bragg Jam Concert Crawl.
The concert runs from 6-8 p.m. Sunday and like other Second Sunday shows will include food and beverage vendors. The rain location for this show and the remaining concerts will be the Cox Capitol Theatre.
The Grapevine will play the July concert, and August will feature Same As It Ever Was, a Talking Heads cover band. The all-ages shows will continue through October.
The Second Sunday series started in 2008 with a small group of volunteers and is currently organized by the College Hill Alliance, but the Bragg Jam Festival recently announced it will take over with the help of a Knight Neighborhood Challenge grant.
On Sunday evening children splashed in the parks stream while some patrons lined up at food and beverage vendors. Locally made Macon Progress beer was available. Other attendees brought coolers full of food and drink.
Several people held onto leashed dogs, including Kevin Drace.
Its his first time, he said, gripping the cord attached to Ro, a Rhodesian ridgeback.
Kevin Drace and his wife Wendi sat on a striped blanket halfway up the hillside.
The Draces said theyve come to Second Sunday shows often this year, enjoying the music and the people.Youve got to support downtown Macon, she said.

• Multiple laser support. Up to four lasers (of the same or differing wavelengths) can be used, each one serving one or more sampling stations
• Internal calibration source enables the system to be calibrated rapidly and easily; data integrity is ensured, without time-consuming long calibration runs
• Optional external reference source enables intensity values to be calibrated and compared between different instruments
• Uses Renishaw data and user-interface standards so that current Raman microscope users can begin operating the RA100 with minimal training
• Custom analysis program (CAP) enables solutions to be tailored to individual customers needs
• Multi-library search capability allows spectral libraries to be grouped and searched together to give a very wide coverage

Bio and Links
Picture Use
All pictures I upload to Find A Grave are placed in the public domain. You may use them for any purpose, no credit required. If you would like a high resolution, uncompressed original, just contact me.
With volunteer efforts like Find A Grave, all contributions are appreciated.
At the same time, I have noticed an increasing number of persons expressing displeasure that others would find their contributions valuable in their own family research. Specifically, there seems to be bad blood that photographs posted to Find A Grave would be used elsewhere.
Those of us who do this work know how time consuming it is. I see your statistics and you see mine, but what we cannot see is the hours and days and months spent walking cemeteries and toiling at the computer preparing images, and time spent uploading to Find A Grave.
What concerns me is recently encountering assertions of copyright and encumbrances placed on images. My opinion is, if your generous efforts are truly to honor the deceased and to preserve their memory, then set your images free. Please do not place a tremendous burden upon others who are seeking out their departed to manage usage rights on individual images. This is an impossible hurdle, and a demand that can only lead to hurt feelings.
One contributor noted on their profile that they had pulled all old family photographs from Find A Grave after discovering some had been reposted to Ancestry. Stated reason: "These images are personal to me." Please consider that they are likely personal - and treasured - by other descendants as well.
I am a professional photographer, and images are my livelihood. Even so, the images posted here and elsewhere on genealogical sites, I give absolutely freely for any use whatsoever. So what if I find my images on Ancestry.com or FamilySearch? I consider it an honor that these images are valued by descendants and family members of the deceased, and I realize that the proliferation of these images across multiple websites insures that the records we seek to preserve are most likly to be successful, in that there is redundancy in case of website closures or technical problems that may potentially cause data loss at any given website.
I'm not against credit where credit is due. The solution to this is embedding your creator information into the image metadata before uploading any images to the Internet. You can learn about metadata on Wikipedia, but the process is simple and can be automated.
Final point, these passages from the King James Bible for your consideration:
Matthew 10:8 - Freely ye have received, freely give.
2 Corinthians 9:7 - Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
What more can I say? Thank you for your volunteer contributions to Find A Grave. Your generosity of time and effort is apparent; please complete the course and be generous in spirit also.
I come from a family full of genealogists. Never thought I would be able to contribute, but not true.
My goals:
1) Publish family research, converting paper records to the web.
2) Preserve family photography.
If you are related to me and have original images or negatives, please contact me.
1) GPS cameras - perfect for grave photography!
2) Book Review: A Graveyard Preservation Primer.
3) Special Note on Photo Requests
Update Notice, May 2013
: For several years I have published a guide to GPS enabled cameras, evaluating their features and usefulness for cemetery photography. Find A Grave has limited the space available to me here, but if you contact me by email, I will send the full GPS camera information which I have been forced to delete here.
Basic GPS capture is simple. On an iPhone or iPad, it simply happens. There are a wide range of camera types that now do GPS, and cost is little more than comparable models. There are also some serious drawbacks, if you are concerned as I am about grave location accuracy. Contact me for the full scoop.
Sorry, the other comments formerly present and noted above have also been deleted in order to shorten this bio to the required length. Again, contact me by email if there is an interest.
BTW - my email situation is hopeless, with over 1,000 new messages daily. Please include "Find A Grave" in the subject line of all emails. If I am away from my computer, your email will be buried in the onslaught, but at some point, I will search for Find A Grave in order to get caught up on Edit Requests for memorials I manage. Hopefully, you will not wait too long for a reply.
If you have an urgent situation, I am not adverse to taking calls on my cell phone, (903) 238-4465.

RE: Thanks for Corrections
Hello old friend! I don't know how you have time to breathe you work so much!!! But good to hear from you. A while back I was looking at a relative's memorial in the Kilgore City Cemetery and found a misspelled name. Then another relative had the wrong year on the memorial. Bottom line is that my OCD kicked in and I started looking at the memorials in that cemetery and found more than a few errors where the memorial did not match up with the headstone information. This ended with me editing ALL of the memorials (6000 or so). I then went to the cemeteries in AR where most of my family is buried and edited them. Now I am looking at the cemeteries in Longview and I always smile when I see one of yours because they are usually perfect! But I know I would appreciate knowing if I inadvertently made an error on one of my memorials so I had to let you know too. Also I find that memorials created off of a list provided by the keepers of the cemeteries often have lots of errors when compared to the headstone photos. Drives me NUTS! OK...enough said. Now go do your expense reports before they call in the Texas Rangers on you!

First, let me thank you for giving us permission to use your photographs. I always make sure to list the name of the photographer if I ever use someone else's photograph, anyway.
Second, are you connected to this particular Fields family? I am trying to connect family members and am finding one of James Wesley Fields ancestors was my grand uncle through his brother, Harvey Jackson Fields.
I would appreciate hearing from you.

David Anthony Conley
Good Morning David,
Going through my edit requests I came across your request to change the death place of David Anthony Conley for American Fork, Utah, to Pleasant Grove. I declined the request but wanted to let you know why. Although his residence was Pleasant Grove, his own obituary states he died in "at the American Fork Hospital." If you have info (with a source) that conflicts with that, I hope you'll let me know; obituaries sometimes have errors! Thank you so much for you input and efforts to get these memorials correct.
Annie :)

Hello Danny: Thank you so much for photographing my dad's grave here in Beeville, Texas, especially, the inscription you captured recognizing that my dad fought in the "Battle of the Bulge." My dad never stopped talking about that great historical battle so I know it must have been a horrific war experience for all those brave soldiers who fought and died there but who never gave up. If he were alive today, he would give you the biggest hug ever. I hope you feel that your work is rewarding as it sure means a lot to family members who have lost our loved ones. If there is anything we can do for you, then please let us know. All the best to you and may God bless you in many ways. Beverly Brooks

The Untold Story (1993)
Length/distributor: 95 min./Tai Seng
Film rating Category: 3 (18 up)
Director: Herman Yau
Cast: Anthony Wong, Danny Lee, Emily Kwan, Julie Lee, Shing Fui-on
The limbs of a person are found washed ashore of Macau. The police investigate and trace it back to a man named Wong Chi-hung, who owns a local restaurant, purchased under mysterious circumstances. They eventually arrest him, and put him through arduous torture to confess. Finally he does reveal his killing of an entire family, but the police arent prepared to hear what he did with the bodies
This was one of first films described to be from the true crime genre, that is crime stories based on actual incidents in Hong Kong and the surrounding area. Many of these films contained crimes so heinous, the filmmakers could churn out a real horror show on the audience, make their skin crawl and offend many with its VERY graphic violence, which could also include full nudity and sex. The Untold Story is the most famous for several reasons: first for its depiction of the crimes, including all the grisly details (thereby earning its Category 3 rating). Also its famous for its great performance by its star Anthony Wong, who gained great recognition for portrayal of a maniacal killer.
The film begins with a flashback that started the whole shocking story in Hong Kong of the late 70s. A man named Wong Chi-hung has a disagreement with a man over money. A scuffle ensues but then turns violent as Wong beats him to a pulp, but he wont stop there. He pours fuel over the man and lights a match setting him ablaze along with the whole flat as well. We then see him burn the ID, and later sporting a new look with a shaven head and glasses.
We then move forward to the late 80s in Macau, when some kids discover some limbs washing ashore by the beach. We then see the man named Wong again, running a restaurant called Eight Immortals. We watch as he expertly butchers a whole pig, slicing it open, taking out the guts, chopping up the limbs and the rest. He then puts the meat into a grinder and takes the ground meat and mixes it with sauce and spices to make Char Siu Bow, AKA Humbow or steamed meat buns that are a favorite for Chinese food connoisseurs. These are the restaurants specialty. He hires a new worker as for some reason he cant hold on to employees at his shop. Another problem is that Wong does not officially own the restaurant until he can get the first owner to sign the deed for the lawyer. The local team of cops is a motley bunch that act like Three Stooges, and make fun of the tomboyish female member of the team. Plus they always oogle the girl on the arm of their boss, Inspector Lee, whos always dating sexy hookers instead of workingprobably because there arent very many interesting cases lately. Its the teams job to investigate this possible murder case, but its all new to them, as they never had to take fingerprints off the severed hands of a missing corpse! Back at the restaurant, letters are continuing to show up for the previous owner of the restaurant from the mainland. The new guy sees Wong cheat at Mahjong and calls him on it. Wong does not like to be called on stuff, so later that night he attacks his employee and kills him outright. What he does next is the most grisly thing Ive ever seen on film. He treats the mans body like a pig, thus chopping off the limbs (which he puts in the trash), tearing out the entrails, then chopping up the rest like meat. The human meat is then put in the grinder foryou guessed ituse to make CHAR SIU BOW!
The police are able to identify the remains of the first limbs and show up at the restaurant to ask Wong and his female worker questions. Wong is very courteous and cooperative with them and even gives them free meat buns! The police leave with nothing but Inspector Lee knows something fishy is going on. They return again later (not knowing Wong has now killed his female worker for her being suspicious), poking around his flat for anything strange. Thats when Wong decides he better hightail it out of there. But the police find evidence of the previous owners identity and are able to intercept him before he leaves Macau. But Wong isnt one to confess so easily. The police know it too and plan to incarcerate him with a relative of the missing ownerwholl beat him to death if hes kept in there. Still no confession, and so in the hospital hes tortured so hes sleepless and also gives him drugs to make him go out of his mind. At last the untold story is told, but few are ready to hear it
Oh, wow. You could probably understand my reluctance to view this film for so many years. I mostly wanted to see the acting performance of Anthony Wong, who won a best actor HK film award for it, and just to see if its as gory as everyone said it was. I guess Im pleased on both counts. Wongs portrayal is so frightening I thought I was going to have trouble sleeping the night I viewed the film. And yes it is the goriest and sickest movie Ive seen from Hong Kong (though there are other nasty HK horror flicks available). It also can be unpleasant and offensive, as when Wong attacks his female workerI cant even describe it here. But Anthony Wongs performance is so good and dead-on, I can see why this was the turning of his acting career. He would go on to first make more horror films, and then shine in some of the best cop and triad films around (see Beast Cops, 1998). Hes the best part of the film. As for the rest of the actors, like the cops, theyre mostly around for comic relief. Its a strange but somewhat effective combination, to mix the comedy of the bungling cops with the horrific drama on display. They even mix it together such as when Wong takes a male corpse, puts him on his stomach and slaps his bloody bum with the side of the cleaver (how weird!). Danny Lee plays his usual role of Inspector Lee with the usual flair, but he has less screen time than everyone else does. But no matter how many scenes he has, he always does well with his cop character as that his staple in practically any cop and crime movie hes in. I enjoyed the ensemble as well as this crime story. It was just so interesting to watch it unfold and see how it would turn out. Not to mention the possibility that it actually occurred! The music is effective to give the mood of each scene, especially the scary ones. The cinematography isnt too memorable although there were memorable shots and techniques, such as slow motion, step framing and close-ups of cops eating the meat buns, and as a result, eating all the evidence! Also there are scenes that added intensity to them for what they didnt show, like only showing partial implied butchering of a body, or the act of beheadingnot seen but the blood is. Stuff like that makes you hide your eyes in horror!
As a result of its rating and highly offensive material, The Untold Story cant or wont appeal to everyone. I probably wont see many HK horror films, but Im glad I finally got to see this one.
Audio: 8
Its a pretty good Dolby Digital soundtracknot the best, but makes the 13-year old film sound well. There are also two audio commentaries available on the Tai Seng disc. You can choose from listening to the star Anthony Wongs insight into the film and acting, or director Herman Yaus take on the film and why he wanted to make it. And they both speak good English.
Video: 8.5
This movie has been remastered somewhat, making the color and image come out well on DVD. I still notice some pops and scratches but nothing major or distracting. Tai Seng are still doing well re-releasing these cult Hong Kong films.
Subtitles: 9
The translation is very goodno errors or whacked out subtitles as seen on import discs! The subtitles are also yellow in color and very easy to read. I dont know if they curse as much for real in the Cantonese dialogue as they do in the subs, but it IS a Cat. 3 film, so Ill let it slide.
I find Untold Story to be a well-written and well-acted (by Wong) horror film from Hong Kong. Its definitely not for all tastes (!) and is either sure to please or revolt. Those who really love the horror genre and are hankering to see some new kind of terror stories, this is probably a good one to start with. But be careful: you are what you eat

The hostel is a tram stop away from the Nagasaki Station and a walk away from Dejima. Also really good eats at Dejima port if you want to try local Champon Udon really good. Also a tram ride or 20 min walk from Gunkanjima ferry tour I recommend seeing it. Staff is nice to give you info. Be cool if they had a board showing all the sites or recommendation like other hostels but other then that great place.

I write about early career issues. Pithily.
Last week, a friend emailed me to say that he had quit his job – wrote a resignation letter, handed it in and just walked away. I knew he'd been dealing with a lot of stress and that this stress had been taking a toll on his health, but his announcement still took me by surprise. He didn't have another job lined up or a concrete plan for how to manage his newly unemployed status. Here's what I wish someone had told him before he gave his notice:
Start your job hunt early
10 minutes after you've handed in your resignation is not the time to begin looking for new work. By the time you give your notice, your job hunt should be well underway and you should have a solid strategy in place for how you're going to ramp it up once you're hunting full-time. While you don't necessarily want to tip your hand to your network in advance (word will get back to your employer; count on it), you should have been keeping up with connections all along, so that when you do finally send out a job search SOS, people are predisposed to help you out.
Decide on your story
You will be asked why you quit by everyone from your grandma to your financial planner, but the person whose reaction you really care about is the one who is going to decide whether or not you get that next job. If you end up with a resume gap after quitting, you're going to need to address that in future applications and if you aren't transitioning straight from Company A to Company B, interviewers are going to be rightly curious about why you chose to jump ship (or if you were pushed) and interested in determining whether you're an ongoing flight risk or an office troublemaker. Be honest (no, you weren't making a spiritual pilgrimage to an ashram), be positive (both about your former company and how you've been spending your time lately) and be prepared to spin this situation as a one-off that has actually reenergized you and made you better equipped for the position you're currently seeking in x, y, z ways.
Mind the gap
Quitting your job to sit on your couch is going to get old after a week and will start to suck your morale dry in short order. Find something to do with your newly-free days that you can use to frame your quitting less as a case of hitting the mental breaking point and more about you choosing to pursue other opportunities when the questions discussed above come up. If you use your time between jobs to do some freelancing, to volunteer in areas related to your field of work or to brush up on skills and certifications, you're not only helping to close the dreaded resume gap, you're also keeping your abilities up and your knowledge fresh and painting yourself as more employable than someone who spends their unemployed days focused exclusively on sending out resumes.
Hide the matches
Do not burn bridges. Do not give a morally righteous speech in the middle of the parking lot and end up a YouTube laughing stock. Avoid grand gestures at all costs. Instead, work to ensure you leave at least one or two internal allies behind – especially if you're staying the same industry – who can vouch for you as references should a future employer do some checking. You want your coworkers' enduring memory of you to be of someone competent and professional who moved on quietly.
Great post! I absolutely agree with all of the points you made, particularly the one on burning bridges which is so easy to do in the moment but never worth it in the long run nor professional.
I found your post interesting. I would like to quit my job and I am having a big debate in my head, both sides are relentless in their reasons. I was a mature student who graduated last year, did a bit of travelling, got interviews, got the job and moved for it, away from my partner, family and friends. I now want to move back especially since the job doesnt have the prospects that I felt it implied. I have applied for other jobs and awaiting replies – trouble is, it would be difficult to attend interviews given the distance. What should I do? I am doing well at my job, my superiors seem to like me but I am not content there financially, emotionally and in prospects. How long should I stay and when should I go? Help!!

Some of you may have loved the yellow-skinned, four-fingered family since 1989. Others may not have been born yet. Whether you're a gangly teen or a white collar employee, you just won't be able to resist the nostalgic appeal of The Simpsons Game.
What can you expect from this iconic American middle-class family? This third-person action game features an original storyline that contains the same humor that makes this family so endearing.
Immerse yourself in the World of Springfield
The adventure begins when Bart comes across a manual that has suddenly dropped from above. He finds out that the manual is a guide on how to use the family's powers against villains.
These villains include EA execs, the Simpsons' creator, and other Simpsons characters, such as the Comic Book Guy, Mr. Burns and Sideshow Bob.
Similar to the show, The Simpsons Game pokes fun at popular culture. This time it even pokes fun at other video games and EA, its developer. The outrageous way gaming consoles and video games are parodied will just leave you nearly falling on the floor laughing. The parodies are well integrated in the entirety of the game. Some levels represent popular episodes, most notable of which are The Land of Chocolate and Super Happy Fun Fun Homer. If you've always liked the Halloween Specials, then you'll be more than happy to find that they are well-represented throughout the play experience.
Aside from bringing its own episodes back to life, poking fun at tons of EA properties, and making fun of videogames by mentioning "Xbox 720†and "PS4,†there are also some incredible cameos in the game. For example, the series' creator Matt Groening plays a hilarious role. God Himself makes an appearance and manages to add more humor to your gaming experience.
Play with the Simpsons family in this funny adventure game. Get to use Homer, Bart, Lisa, and Marge (Maggie's somehow sort of an extension of Marge.) They all have general abilities for fighting opponents, interacting with the environment, and finishing puzzles. Each of them, though, have special abilities unique to their personalities. These abilities grow and change as you get through levels the same way the enemies get tougher. Powered attacks are very cool, like Homer's burp attack which can stun enemies or kill them. Once Homer changes to a new form, you'll get to use a new set of attacks as well. Characters can also pick up power up items throughout the levels. These items can make them invincible and grant them certain powers for a certain time.
To sum it all up, The Simpsons Game is a great adventure game. The characters' quest to save Springfield becomes the opposite of a "no laughing matter†because of the humor thrown in. This is a multi-player game that you and your friends will love finishing. The funny quips and dialogue make this game a surefire hit to anyone, fanboy or otherwise. Everyone will love the great graphics, familiar character voices and, most of all, the humor reminiscent of the older Simpsons episodes.

---- — Kayla Allard of Windham may only be 15, but she's already got her mind set on working.
As she thinks about getting her driver's license, she needs to figure out how to pay for a car, gas and insurance.
But Allard has found tough competition for summer jobs.
"All the college kids come home and fill up the summer jobs," she said. "They have the connections and people will hire them since they're older."
She was able to find a job babysitting.
Allard is not alone among her age group having trouble finding jobs for the summer, according to Anita Josten of New Hampshire Employment Security. Only 8 percent of new hires in New Hampshire during the second quarter of last year were between the ages of 14 and 18.
"That's pretty typical," Josten said. "Since 2009, it has hovered around that number."
On the other hand, Josten said, 13 percent of new hires were adults between 19 and 21.
She said arts and entertainment, food service and retail trade are the industries which hire the most teenagers.
Although younger teens represent a low percentage of those finding jobs, it doesn't mean they aren't looking.
Canobie Lake Park has seen hundreds of teens looking for jobs.
"We have more than 100 teens working for us and we've had to turn people away," said Chris Nicoli, spokesman for Canobie Lake Park. "We like to rely on teens because we're a seasonal business and it coincides with school just getting out."
Nicoli said the park held two job fairs this spring and both were well attended.
"The last two years, we have seen strong, quality applicants," he said. "I think it's because the amount of employment that is available to students has diminished slightly, with the way the job market going."
The unemployment rate among young adults could be having a trickledown effect on teens. Nationwide, 11.1 percent of adults ages 18 to 29 are unemployed. The unemployment rate for adults is just 7.5 percent.
The state's preliminary seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for May was 5.3 percent, down 0.2 percentage points from April.
"It just becomes a struggle once summer comes upon," said Shiloh VanHyll, 17, of Windham. "All the jobs get filled up around April. This year, I was able to have a little bit of an advantage because I worked during the school year as a telemarketer."
Many employers hire the same seasonal employees year after year.
"I only hire about three new lifeguards each year," Windham recreation coordinator Cheryl Haas said. "I try to hire them with the idea that I will be able to have them for several years."
Jim Salloway of Jim's Ice Cream Barn in Salem said about eight to 10 teenagers will be working at his shop this summer.
"We have very little turnover here, only one or two of the kids won't come back each year," he said. "But I get about 30 applications each year."
Maggie Doherty, 17, of Derry will be working for the second straight year at Moo's Place ice cream in Derry for the summer. She considers herself fortunate.
"It's hard for graduating seniors especially, unless they are looking at jobs which are solely during the summer," she said. "They are looking for people who will be able to work for them all school year."
For Martha Allicon, office administrator at Scottish Highlands Golf Course in Salem, it is tough to hire a lot of high school students.
"The jobs we have generally require you to drive a golf cart or be behind a bar," she said. "The teens we do have are part of the grounds crew."
But Allicon still sees a lot of hopeful teens.
"I probably get more teens filing than adults," she said. "A lot of people end up coming back."
But Solloway said younger teens are really the best people for him to hire.
"Our schedule coincides perfectly with theirs," he said. "They're easy to train and they are responsible. When the older kids are still in college during the spring, they are able to come right after school."
