"31 Female Rhinoplasty 6 Days Post Op..."
I am 6 days post op. My goal was to narrow my nose and make it less bulbous. I had no septum work done, and aside from the packing, i had no discomfort. It is still very red, but I had no bruising. It is definitely thinner but seems bigger to me. I know that the swelling tales a long time to heal, but I would love some feedback. THANK YOU. My tip is so big and low and swollen...today is... more
"He Fixed my Nose Tip Great Result -..."
This man is awesome. He's down to earth, kind, and incredibly knowledgable. Both his sons are plastic surgeons also and share the office. A great family here. His daughter has a fabulous well recognized line of skin care products too. He fixes many BAD noses done by other surgeons. I was not happy with my nose tip since it hung down way too low. In a fast procedure, he lifted the angle of my... more
"Late 30's Rhinoplasty - West Orange, NJ"
My nose had always bothered me from the time I was in middle school. I always contemplated rhinoplasty but thought I was being vain and that it shouldn't really matter. As I found myself in my late thirties with the financial means and motivation to make a change, I decided to talk to my good friends and family about the possibility of rhinoplasty. I was really amazed that nobody judged me... more
"Rhinoplasty & Neck Liposuction, 48..."
Over the past few years I had noticed that my nose looked bonier and more bulbous at the tip than in the past. After looking at some photos taken over this past summer it looked a mess to me. The neck lipo was an after thought; I had been trying to dodge the double chin look in photos for a couple of years and when I went to Dr. Joseph's office and saw my profile, I was horrified! I asked... more
"Everything I Could Have Asked For!..."
For years, just like many others, I had always hated my nose. I had been thinking about getting a nose job for quite some time even though I am young. When I met with Dr. Joseph, I knew right away he was the doctor for me! He's hilarious, such a sweet man and he sings everywhere he goes which just brightens up a person's day. He isn't only a good doctor, he's a good person... And you can tell... more
"Wish I Had Done This Sooner. - West..."
I have wanted rhinoplasty since I was 12. Had I done it any earlier, I may not have found Dr. Joseph and his wonderful staff. These people are genuinely kind people and have a vested interest in your best outcome. On the day of my surgery, there was an issue with the person that was to release me from the hospital. Needless to say, I was stressing out. Dr. Joseph rectified it immediately... more
"Best Rhinoplasty Experience! Love my..."
My rhinoplasty experience was amazing all thanks to Dr. Oleh Slupchynskyj. I hated my nose my whole life, my tip was too big and i had a huge dorsal hump. I started doing research on realself and went to a doctor in west orange, nj and had a bad experience with him. I was really upset because i was so excited and wanted to just set a date and start looking forward to the procedure. I went back... more
"From an Ugly Ducking to a Beautiful..."
Ever since I was 10 I've always hated my nose. Pretty much the same story as so many people on here, but never thought I'd have the balls to go through with doing anything about it.. Petrified of even having my blood taken, I was fortunate enough later on in life to have a few very special people come into my life to give me the courage to finally do the things cosmetically that would make me... more
"Safest Experience I've Had -West..."
I moved to the U.S from South America at a very young age. Growing up in a new country was difficult. As I became older and older I started noticing certain changes in me. I was always sensitive about my appearance, primarily my nose. No matter where I went Ive had to look down or to the side because I did not like the way my nose was shaped. Having a bump in my bridge area made it difficult... more
"Extremely Satisfied with my Natural..."
My experience with Dr. Joseph was very positive on all aspects: initial consultation, surgery, and all other appointments pre and post surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Joseph to anyone looking to have a more natrual nose and looking for the best surgeon. Dr. Joseph asked the right questions to understand what I wanted my nose to look like, which is not overdone and still natural, but more... more
"Rhinoplasty and Chin - East Orange, NJ"
To anyone out there who is considering making changes I would like to share my experience with you. First of all I am not one who generally shares experiences on line but I feel this time its important since undergoing change of this nature can be quite stressful for most. Like most others I googled some surgeons in the tri-state area and then narrowed it down to a few. I did this like most... more
I was unhappy with the appearance of my nose for quite a while and had been contemplating getting a rhinoplasty. After doing some research I found Dr. Eric Joseph, he came highly recommended in his craft. I made the appointment and showed up at his office not knowing what to expect. I was actually very nervous going in for my consultation, but after spending some time with Dr. Joseph I felt... more
"Highly Recommend Dr. Joseph- West..."
I am very pleased with the open rhinoplasty / septoplasty performed by Dr. Joseph. He is very personable and easy to talk to; he listened to and answered every question I had about the procedure and did an excellent job as a surgeon. He has a fun bedside manner that was refreshing. My breathing has always been sub par due to my crooked septum, my nose was slanted to one side a bit, and I... more
"Rhinoplasty - 2 months into recovery"
I had an open rhinoplasty done 3 weeks ago. Recovery has been a bit more annoying and uncomfortable than I expected. I had a lot of swelling, bruising, aching, sinus pressure and stuffiness. Those issues are very gradually dissipating. I'm only just now regaining my energy and feelings of well-being. If I had it to do again, I would take 2-3 weeks off work, so I could really have a chance to... more
"My Nose is Perfect - West Orange, NJ"
I'm beyond pleased with my results. Before the procedure i was given photos of approximately what i would look like after my surgery. This made me feel very secure about what was to come. The morning of my procedure i was nervous. Dr. Joseph was very reassuring and calming and all the nurses were nice as well. I went into the operating room and next thing i knew it was all over with. I only... more
"Rhinoplasty a Few Weeks Before..."
Hi everyone! My name is Shae and I'm 17 (turning 18 in September). I'm having rhinoplasty done this Wednesday the 14th. I've read SO many reviews on here and I thought it couldn't hurt to share my story. I've been self conscious about my nose since before I could remember. Growing up, I'd always look in the mirror and raise my tip with my finger to picture how I would look with my perfect... more
"Dr. Eric Joseph is Your Best Choice..."
I had wanted to get a rhinoplasty since I was a child, but had always been scared that I would not like the outcome! After my consultation with Dr Joseph, I was completely sure he was the right doctor for me! He answered all my questions and was 100% honest on what could and could not be done. He showed me photos of results from patients that had a similar nose to mine, as well as various... more
I had my first surgery (and hopefully the last) today on my nose. I was very unsure about whether or not to go through with it because I was terribly scared. However, I've always been insecure about my nose. SO, I went through with it. I had a very bulbous tip and a drooping tip as well as a slight bump on my bridge. My nose, I felt, was much too large for my face. From what I see, cast on and... more

Favorite Lunch Recipe: Tomato Mozzarella Sandwich
This sandwich is so simple it hardly needs explaining, but here, for the record, is how I make my tomato and mozzarella sandwiches. Do you ever make these? If you've never had one, now is the time; tomatoes are in high season! I used a fresh Black Krim tomato (so sweet, so juicy!) from my garden, and some very fresh mozzarella, packed in water.
Tomato Mozzarella Sandwich
Olive oil
2 slices bread
1/4 small tomato, sliced
4 thin slices mozzarella cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 clove garlic (optional)
4 leaves fresh basil (optional)
Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat and coat lightly with olive oil. Place 1 piece of bread in the skillet. Lay two pieces of mozzarella cheese on top of the bread. Lay the tomato slices on top of the cheese and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the rest of the cheese on top of the tomato and top with the second piece of bread.
Check the bottom of the bread; if it is looking golden, flip the sandwich. Place a cast iron skillet on top of the flipped sandwich and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes to finish melting the cheese and toasting the bread.
Option: Rub both pieces of bread with the cut half of a clove of garlic before assembling the sandwich.
Option: Add a few leaves of basil in the center of the sandwich with the tomato.

How about Spam & Egg sandwich? It's good for lunch or breakfast.
I'm still waiting for my Black Krim to ripen. When they do, I am definitely making this sandwich!
This is probably my favorite as well, and it works in any number of combinations. Recommended: ciabatta, adding basil, using bruschetta instead of just plain tomatoes, and spreading pesto on the bread. Also totally delicious cold!!
This has been my favorite sandwich all summer - I also like to sprinkle a little salt on the tomatoes, and add a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. The basil is a must for me!
Can you do it in a panini maker?
@ajhanson1, yes, definitely. All the little bars in Italy used panini makers. I just don't have one, so I resort to the cast iron skillet...
i love seeing recipes for vegetarian sandwiches. more please!! the hardest part of being vegetarian for me is the lack of good sandwich options.
This looks so wonderful. Sometimes, simplicity is best, and in this instance, that is definitely the case. Oh, and by the way, I just came across this site and it's just lovely. Keep up the good work!

ADA News
ADA, ADAF join with AAP to train pediatricians as oral health advocates
This was the second of three Chapter Advocate Training On Oral Health sessions the Foundation has funded via a grant to the AAP. The "train the trainer" program was held at AAP headquarters and sought to instruct and inspire pediatrician oral health advocates at the national, state and local levels and assist them in identifying the oral health needs of babies and toddlers being seen for well-child visits.
During the Nov. 13-14 event, pediatricians learned how to conduct oral health risk assessments, including oral screenings, received tips for teaching families about oral health and prevention, and were instructed on the importance of connecting children and families with a dental home. During the "hands on" portion of the training, each of the 19 attendees was paired with a dentist who demonstrated how to perform oral assessments of the children, including application of fluoride varnish.
"It is remarkable to see the energy and excitement about oral health exhibited by these devoted pediatricians," said ADAF President Dr. Arthur A. Dugoni. "That this ADAF-funded education took place in the headquarters of one of our nation's premier medical organizations is a source of great pride for the ADA Foundation."
The AAP received the ADAF's "Working Together for Oral Health" grant in 2008, which provides up to $100,000 annually for three years. AAP's aim is to develop a cadre of pediatrician oral health advocates, and that organization is also carrying out on-site training at large pediatric clinics and hospitals. The ultimate goal for the interprofessional collaboration is to reverse the trend of early childhood caries.
Said Suzanne Boulter, M.D., a New Hampshire pediatrician, "One of the nice things about the training is that there was so much one-on-one time. We tried to empower the doctors to spread the word to others in their AAP chapters, and I think we accomplished that. By the end of the training, they had a solid basis of facts and plans for their activities."
As part of its contribution to the training, the ADA provided a state-specific resource list for each pediatrician, including contact information for the state dental association, state health department, state oral health coalition, state safety net services and other pertinent services. There were also a few 2008 "graduate" oral health champions invited back to share their experiences with the group.
"In their presentations we saw the new beginning, which the ADA and AAP envisioned," said Dr. Leon Stanislav, a member of the ADA Council on Access, Prevention and Interprofessional Relations who spoke on fluoride modalities. "They overflowed with enthusiasm as they described to the new class how they implemented what they had learned from our training. As one of the faculty, it was hard not to feel a little pride as we witnessed the new teachers telling the students how much they were going to gain over the next couple of days. There is no doubt we will have an impact on early childhood caries as dentists and pediatricians work together treating children under 3."
Dr. Boulter agreed that the previous advocates really inspired the group.
"It was amazing," she said. "One pediatrician got so fired up, he trained dozens of people in a state that was just starting to see Medicaid reimbursements. Another took pediatric residents and put them to work, calling dental offices to see who took Medicaid."
The conference also provided participants with a management plan, including prevention interventions such as appropriate use of fluoride varnish.
"While CATOOH is proceeding on track, there are still many things to improve," Dr. Stanislav said. "We must strive to develop more awareness in our dental and pediatrician colleagues, we must lobby for better reimbursements, and we must ensure the torch is passed along."

Jolly Ranchers are a hard candy favorite known for their unforgettable, vibrant flavor.
We love candies that have a story behind them, and Jolly Ranchers surely do. The Jolly Rancher Candy Company was founded in 1949 using a bit of poetic license by the Harsmen Family in Golden, Colorado who were looking for a name that would signal their Western roots. They named the company "Jolly Rancher," which indicates their Western roots and their tradition of hospitality.
The Jolly Rancher Company originally focused on ice cream but, in time, they devoted their energy exclusively to hard candy. Aren't you glad they did?
There are approximately 70 colorful and flavorful wrapped Jolly Ranchers in every pound.

For the 1b problem.
thanks a lot guys....
Of course, but I thought that you are not permissed to calculate the discriminant.
For 2) it doesn't ask you to find the values of x, just the discriminant.
In this case, the discriminant would be 3² - 4*2*(-10) = 89.
Because it is positive, this shows that both roots will be real and distinct.
That was joke

Augmented Reality with HTML5
In a previous Linux Journal article ("Developing Portable Mobile Web Applications", September 2010, www.linuxjournal.com/article/10789), I looked at HTML5 and how it could be used to write applications for mobile phones. The techniques presented in that article work well for applications that use text, buttons, images, audio and even video, but what about cutting-edge applications that stretch the envelope of what mobile phones can do? In an effort to find out, I decided to implement a rather simple mobile augmented reality application, doing as much as I could in HTML5. This article explores the techniques for extending JavaScript capabilities to write applications that do more than is possible with standard HTML5.
Augmented reality (AR) is the name given to a class of applications that combines the unique capabilities of mobile phones to extend users' perceptions of their environments. Layar (www.layar.com) was one of the first AR applications, and it's still one of the more creative. Augmented reality overlays the current camera preview screen with additional information—you can see examples in this YouTube video: (www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6Le50-QN3o&feature=player_embedded). Figure 1 shows what Layar looks like when the "Starbucks" layer is loaded and the camera is pointed at a mall where there is a Starbucks coffee shop.
This application makes use of a number of mobile phone features:
Camera preview.
Compass (direction the camera is pointed).
2-D graphics (for the overlay).
Database capabilities.
Layar is a very advanced application, with many options to make it easy to use. Again, the essential nature of AR is that the user sees additional information superimposed on a camera preview.
How would you implement this kind of application using HTML5? For the sake of creating an example application, let's reduce AR to a simple case: show the current camera preview on the user's screen and superimpose the current compass direction on top of the preview. Let's also animate the compass card so it moves as the phone's camera pans around. In principle, the overlay could be anything, but a compass card is a start.
HTML5 has greatly extended the capabilities of HTML applications, but some things still are missing for this application:
HTML5 doesn't include a compass API. You need a way to access the mobile phone's current compass direction and receive periodic updates as the direction changes. You could use the API in one of the Web app toolkits (such as PhoneGap or Titanium) for this, but let's create our own interface and demonstrate how you can access just about any Object from JavaScript.
You need a live camera preview on the screen, and there isn't a camera API in HTML5. Extensions to HTML5, such as WAC (Wholesale Applications Community, public.wholesaleappcommunity.com), are defining APIs for camera preview, but there are no WAC mobile phones yet.
In order to add your own HTML5 extensions to a mobile platform, you have to do some platform-specific code. That means you have to give up some portability, but let's accept the trade-off and focus on one platform, Android. Let's create the needed Dalvik/Java code to implement this simple AR application and take a look at how JavaScript can call Dalvik methods and vice versa.
The application will be a hybrid Dalvik/HTML5 application. The HTML5 part will run in a browser. Android applications create an Internet browser view in one of two ways:
Let's write a Dalvik application that shows the camera preview screen and overlays that with a WebView that will draw and animate the compass card. Of course, you'll also need the compass information passed from Android back to the HTML5 code, so it can animate the card properly.
Assuming you've already loaded the Android SDK (from developer.android.com), you can follow along by downloading the ARCompass.prj project file and the HTML and JavaScript files from ftp.linuxjournal.com/pub/lj/listings/issue203/10920.tgz.

It's a shame that you seem to have missed this:

Absolutely awesome what HTML5 makes possible. As webworker I'm happy about the features that will follow in next years! Nice posting, I will twitter the post here.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

He must like familiarity. I would think the Nationals would be very tempting since you have so many players going into their prime as opposed to the Yankees players past their prime. But maybe it is to much work to manage a NL team.
Joe Girardi staying as Yankees manager and getting unprecedented job security
Less than a week after they made him an offer to become the game's second-highest paid manager amid overtures from at least two other teams, the Yankees have their answer from Joe Girardi. The 48-year-old manager will return to the Bronx via a four-year deal that guarantees him $16 million plus postseason-based bonuses, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.
The fourth year is significant, in that it gives Girardi job security unprecedented for a Yankees manager. Predecessor Joe Torre spent 12 years at the helm via a series of two- and three-year deals; his last two were for $16 million (2002-2004) and $19.2 million (2005-2007). While Girardi's two previous contracts ($7.8 million for 2008-2010 and $9 million for 2011-2013) and this one aren't as lucrative as the since-retired Torre's, the new deal's $4 million average salary is second only to Angels manager Mike Scioscia's $5 million per year.
(Thanks to Jeff Euston of Cot's Contracts for salary info.)
In his six years on the job, Girardi has piloted New York to a major league-best .580 winning percentage via a 564-480 record, though the two times they've missed the playoffs since 1994 have both been on his watch. The first came in his inaugural season (2008) and the second was this year, when they finished 85-77 despite being outscored and having to confront a slew of injuries. The Yankees have three division titles (2009, 2011, 2012) and one wild-card appearance (2010) on his watch. They won the World Series in 2009 — their first championship since 2000, and their first pennant since 2003 — and advanced to the ALCS in 2010 and '12.
Going forward, Girardi will be managing a much different team than the one he's handled, which is likely why he sought — and deserved — more job security. Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte, two pitchers whom Girardi caught during his 1996-1999 stint with the team in addition to managing them, both retired at season's end. Derek Jeter, another former teammate, could be entering the final year of his career; he's coming off an injury-wrecked season in which he played in just 17 games. Mark Teixeira was limited to only 15 himself due to injuries. Alex Rodriguez is facing what could be a full year's suspension for violating the game's drug policy, and his multifaceted legal battle could spell the end of his time in the Bronx even if he beats the rap.
Elsewhere, Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson and Hiroki Kuroda are all heading into free agency; if Cano leaves, New York will lack an offensive centerpiece. Outfielders Ichiro Suzuki and Vernon Wells are clearly finished as productive regulars but are still under contract for next year, and ace CC Sabathia is coming off his worst season in the majors. Up against all of that, and with question marks surrounding the rotation, bullpen, lineup and farm system, the Yankees are trying to cut payroll from $228 million to $189 million so as to reset their luxury tax rate.
Girardi chose to sign up for that potential rollercoaster ride — which also includes the expiration of general manager Brian Cashman's contract after next season — rather than move closer to his Peoria, Ill., roots with the Cubs. While officially barred from negotiating with him, Chicago had let it be known publicly that it was willing to beat any offer made by New York. Girardi also bypassed an opportunity to take over the Nationals, a team that has a much younger and stronger nucleus that includes Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg. His ties to the Yankees organization appear to have compelled him to stay despite the uncertainty. As he said on Wednesday:
"It was something that I definitely thought about – what would the Yankees look like in 2014 and beyond? I don't think you can expect to necessarily have everything you want every year. There's things you have to go through as a club. To me, I want to be part of this. I want to be part of us getting back on top. That's important to me."
Like any manager, Girardi has his strengths and weaknesses. Though often derided by the local media for his heavy reliance on a thick binder full of statistical breakdowns, he has shown that there's far more to his style than cold calculation. He has earned a reputation as a players' manager, guided the team through an endless series of distractions and shown both a feisty side when standing up for his team and a compassionate one when shepherding Rivera and Pettitte into the sunset. His lineups are generally well-constructed with high on-base percentage guys at the top and less bunting than the average team, though this year's replacement-level scrubs made it much tougher to adhere to those basic tenets. He's shown a facility for melding a bullpen out of lesser-known commodities, though having Rivera as the ninth-inning safety net admittedly reduced the number of decisions he had to make. This year, he got far more mileage than most would have, considering its negative run differential and four regulars with sub-.300 OBPs. As a result, New York's wild-card chances stayed alive until the final week of the season .
What's clear is that neither managing partner Hal Steinbrenner nor Cashman blamed Girardi for the Yankees' absence from the playoffs. Said Steinbrenner on Tuesday, "I made it clear to him that I do want him back. We think — my family thinks — he did a great job this season given everything that happened."
So Girardi has job security, but like any Yankees manager, he'll be under the microscope and expected to produce results. Still, it will be awhile before a picture of his 2014 team emerges, with Cano's pending free agency the biggest issue but hardly the only one that needs to be addressed before the level of expectations can be set.
So when is MLB going to fine the Cubs and Nationals for tampering?
He made the smarter choice here. I think the Yankees will have a down year next year before getting things corrected. As much as I dislike this team; Girardi did a good job this season with what he had.
Yankees got played, Girardi made it seem like he was going to Chicago and pumped up his price. Doesnt matter who manages the Yankees the next few years as they suck.
Great choice by the Yanks. He got what he deserved. Not too many managers could have produced the rather successful seasons he has had the last two years while dealing with the personnel/injury issues that he dealt with. Girardi was the difference.
MLB's tampering rules say "there shall be no negotiations or dealings respecting employment, either present or prospective, between any player, coach or manager and any club other than the club with which [the player] is under contract". They didn't contact Girardi directly, just made it known that they would be interested if he didn't resign with the Yankees -- just as many organizations are discussing whether they may be interested in Cano or other potential free agents. Confirming the market for potentially available players/coaches/managers doesn't constitute tampering...

Graduating to unemployment
5 Mistakes that could be sabotaging your job search
Finding a job in the United States has been a difficult task for many, but the old security that having a college degree guarantees a job is no longer true. The tough job market not only makes finding employment harder, but young college graduates are also being paid less. In 2011 the wages young college graduates earned were 4.6%, around $2,000 less than what they were in 2007. Despite being skilled and educated, many college graduates will continue to have problems finding work, especially work related to their degree. (Source: www.nytimes.com)
Underemployed: Because of the poor job market, college grads are often forced to take minimum wage jobs, part-time jobs, or jobs which don't even require a degree. All in all, 19.1% of young college graduates are underemployed. Even out of the individuals hired to a full-time position, 40% are in jobs that don't require a degree. Unfortunately, many college graduates also graduate with debt, which will take a long time to pay back with a low-earning job. (Source: www.nytimes.com)
Still Better to Have a Degree: Even though people with a college degree have a hard time finding gainful employment, it's even worse for those with only a high school diploma or GED certificate. In a national survey by the University of Rutgers, out of the people who graduated between 2009 and 2011, a meager 16% had full-time jobs. Furthermore, the majority of high school graduates in the study were still living at home with their parents. Job opportunities continue to be limited for individuals with only a high school diploma and the discouragement many of these people feel can lead to depression. Another problem is that many of the full-time positions high school graduates do end up in only pay minimum wage or very low salaries. (Source: www.npr.org)

Four James Madison student-athletes were featured in the latest edition of Madison Magazine for their enrollment into the JMU Honor Program. The magazine featured interviews with sophomore swimmers Camilla Czulada (Point Pleasant, N.J./Point Pleasant) and Jackie Crawford (Roanoke, Va./Cave Spring), sophomore volleyball player Sierra Hahn-Ventrell (Chevy Chase, Md./Bethesda-Chevy Chase) and junior soccer player Shannon Rano (Branchburg, N.J./Immaculata).
Three other JMU student-athletes, sophomore men's soccer player Tyler Durbin (Burke, Va./Lake Braddock), junior volleyball player Martha Stewart (Naperville, Ill./Waubonsie Valley) and sophomore women's golfer Rachel Walker (Waxhaw, N.C./Marvin Ridge) are also mentioned as being members of the JMU Honors School in the article written by Meghan MacDonald.
An excerpt of the article is run below. To read the whole article, visit http://www.jmu.edu/madisonmagazine/.
"Embracing the highest values of sportsmanship and competition has benefits that extend far beyond the playing field. JMU student-athletes are supported in maintaining a balance between academic scholarship and varsity team demands.
JMU faculty members encourage student-athletes to balance competition with respect, victory with honor and contest with scholarship, and to channel the character-building power of athletics performance into a force for positive change.
JMU President Jonathan R. alger says that many student-athletes told him — during his "Why Madison?" Presidential listening Tour — that they chose JMU because of the academic program. "It is reassuring how much Madison studentathletes truly want to excel as students — in academics and organizations outside of their sport — despite the challenges of a rigorous athletics schedule," Alger says. "Their priorities are in the right place and align with the JMU philosophy that intercollegiate athletics are integrated into the overall educational mission."

Sette ST-6585 4th Hand
The Sette ST-6585 4th Hand allows you to use only one hand to pull brake cables tight for maximized braking performance.
I got tired of struggling with brake cables so I ordered the Sette 4th Hand. This tool was kinda difficult in its design, the handles were super narrow and hard to grasp. I have used a Park Tool 4th Hand before which was much more comfortable. However, for the price, the Sette version works well.
This tool is identical to the Park Tools BT-2, except for the blue foam grips. I compared them side by side, and if you covered the grips, you can't tell them apart. Four thumbs up for Price Point (4th hand) ;)
If you have canti's or do your own cabling work you need to get this in your tool box. This will save you some frustration.

Impact on Education
"The academy and the national faculty taught me to be concerned with more than just low test scores. I've learned to focus on how those statistics have come to be and what factors make those test scores low. This way, I can help my teachers address the core of the issue and supply solutions to the problem."

Curriculum Overview
Leadership Candidates will learn from both national and local faculty. The first year of coursework, called the Foundational Coursework, is generally delivered face-to-face with some online work in between sessions. During the mentor program period, leadership candidates meet tri-weekly with their mentor and meet one Saturday bi-monthly for debriefing and supportive coursework. Course descriptions for The Academy for Teaching and Learning Leadership are not all-inclusive, as final design may include additional course materials and tools.

Welcome to the online tour of the University of Wyoming!
UW is home to over 13,000 students, 200+ academic programs and it is the only four year public university in the state.This page is to serve as a guide for exploring the different buildings on campus and their history and current uses.
Humble Beginnings
The University of Wyoming was established 1886 as a land grant university for the Wyoming Territory.The new campus was located on ten acres of land that had served as Laramie's City Park, deeded to the town by the Union Pacific Railroad when "Laramie City" was first laid out. The Park was then the terminus of "Center St.", designed to be the town's main avenue, but later changed to University Ave. The University's first building, now called Old Main, was erected in the center of the former park. There were five faculty members and 42 students. The initial budget, which included construction costs was $50,000, paid for by raising bonds.

The following review from another site says it all: "SUSPICIOUS REVIEW ALERT! ALL OF THE DOZENS OF FIVE STAR REVIEWS HAVE IDENTICAL GRAMMATICAL ERRORS AND WERE POSTED WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF EACH OTHER. THAT SUGGESTS THAT ONE PERSON (THE OWNER?) WROTE ALL OF THEM! PRIOR TO JUNE, 2011, ALL REVIEWS AT ALL WEBSITES RATED DENNIS AUTOMOTIVE ONE STAR. THE GOOD REVIEWS MYSTERIOUSLY STOPPED ABOUT A YEAR AGO, A MERE SEVEN MONTHS AFTER THEY STARTED! DENNIS AUTOMOTIVE SPENDS SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS EACH WEEK ON ADVERTISEMENTS IN THE NORTHEAST TIMES AND ELSEWHERE TO LURE IN NEW CUSTOMERS WITH FAKE BARGAINS. MANY OTHER LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOPS HAVE NEVER ADVERTISED BECAUSE THEY ARE HONEST AND CAN THUS RELY ON REPEAT BUSINESS. READ THE GOOGLE REVIEWS FOR DENNIS AUTOMOTIVE FOR PROOF. READ THE ONE STAR REVIEWS WRITTEN BY REAL CUSTOMERS AND IGNORE THE PHONY FIVE-STAR REVIEWS POSTED BY THE OWNER! I AM A FORMER CUSTOMER OF DENNIS AUTOMOTIVE WHO WAS CHEATED BY THEM. THEY ARE LIARS AND CROOKS, TRUST ME!"
IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ! The positive reviews are completely fake. All of the Internet reviews for Dennis Automotive were very negative until June, 2011, after which 160 obviously bogus reviews (all of which have identical grammatical errors and seem like advertisements) appeared on this website. Mysteriously, the good reviews ceased in May, 2012 - a mere 11 months after they started! I am a former customer of Dennis Automotive, as are several people whom I know in real life. We all agree that Dennis Automotive is in business to bilk unknowing consumers out of their hard-earned money by persuading them to agree to expensive, unneeded repairs. We recommend any repair shop over Dennis Automotive. That is, unless you like to be cheated out of your hard-earned money!
Even though I know nothing about cars and even when I explain the problem or weird sound, they just take care of it without charing an arm and a leg. I love them and they are fantastic!
Treat Me Right – Dennis Auto has always treated me right. Very honest and up front about everything. They never do unnecessary work without consulting me first. I highly recommend them to anyone.
nice job – I love these guys....finally a place that your car can call a second home. Dealerships may come and go however Dennis Auto will be there for you and your car. I have been taking my auto there forever really; whether it is for a quick and easy oil change or for any major warranty work I can count on them giving me true value on services rendered. A safe and friendly auto place...thank you to all the smiling guys I appreciate all of your hard work through out the years! See you soon ~
same gret customer service – The crew here is very personable and helpful. They are also fair and honest. I have been going to them for awhile and have always received the same great customer service.
excellent customer service – I did not have to wait long to be seen. They were very helpful and went above and beyond to get your repairs done. The staff was very friendly and addressed all of our concerns.
Very Satisfied – Short wait and quick brake repair. I was very satisfied with the service and the price here at Dennis Automotive and I will be back.
Thank you!! – My car would not start after work so my friend at work called Dennis Automotive. He said he takes both his cars there and they are very fair! I said ok and I am so impressed with the work they did! Thank you for being there and fixing my car for such a low price!!
Thanks for all the help! – Love the way that I can come right in and you take care of everything. I don't have to wonder if you are going to rip me off or not because the service you provide is the best always.

Austin >Auto Dealers > Covert Ford
8950 Research Blvd, Austin, TX | Directions 7875830.370719 -97.722059
Neighborhoods: Wooten, Crestview - Wooten
Colin was such a pleasure to work with. He made sure that I not only felt comfortable with the car but also all my paperwork and financials. Wuld reccomend to others to buy from him.
Covert Ford provided the best new car buying experience that we have ever enjoyed. During our search for the perfect King Ranch Expedition, we contacted five dealerships. They were not even close. There was no high pressure runaround at Covert and our sales person, Philip Robinson, provided quick and painless trading information. Our bottom line price was better by several thousand dollars than the price we were quoted from other dealers. The after market items were added and the car was ready a full day before promised. The entire trade took around an hour. We were introduced to service and tech personnel. Everyone was friendly and helpful and the car is just what we wanted. No hassle. This was a car buying experience out of the 50's or 60's. It doesn't get better than Covert.
Salesperson lied – We went to Covert Ford on Duval looking for a 2012 Ford Fusion. Frank Ayala helped us the first time we were there (and made us wait quite awhile as he was helping 2-3 other customers at the same time). We went to Riatta Ford in Manor because it was closer and thought we'd just see about when the 2013 Fusion Hybrid would be available. Riatta said it had just become open to order, with delivery in the fall. We contacted Frank again to see about ordering with them (he claimed he could beat Riatta's price). When we got there he went to see Jason Whited, the order specialist. They both came back and told us that ordering was not yet available on the 2013 Fusion Hybrid and that it would not be open for months. The cars would also not be ready until December or later for delivery. We went back to Riatta and have already placed an order for our 2013 Fusion Hybrid with an estimated delivery date of Sept/Oct. We won't be using Covert Ford in the future and don't recommend Jason or Frank to anyone looking for a car there.
BUYER BEWARE!!! – Be very careful. Public records shows numerous lawsuits against Covert for Deceptive Trade Practices, including cause #GN4-00250 in the 126th Judicial District Austin TX where the Plaintiff alleges Covert Ford sold him a truck as new, but discovered later it had been previously wrecked and repaired. Covert's answer was not to deny they did that, but rather there should be no claim because they refunded his money. "This tender by Covert and acceptance by plaintiff constitutes an accord and satisfaction." Just before going to trial by jury, the case settled out of court for an undisclosed sum in 2008. They treated me abysmally but this says it better.
Don't buy a vehicle here - you'll be sorry !!! – Last week the O/D light came on in my Ford Explorer. I drove it right home and got the manual out to see what the problem was. "Transmission problem" was what the manual indicated, as well as several websites I reviewed. I didn't worry at first, since I figured this would be covered under warranty. My Explorer is just under 5 years old and just under 60K miles. Surely there would at least be a 60K power train warranty. No one would buy a vehicle if they knew the transmission would only last 59K miles. Well, the Covert Ford told me a new tranmission was needed (5th and 2nd gears were worn down), that it would cost $3500, and that it is not covered by warranty. And to add insult to injury he charged me $90 to tell me the transmission was bad (something I obviously knew) - isn't this similar to stealing? Obviously I was quite irritated. I asked what caused this. None of the possibilities applied since I took good care of the vehicle and had it serviced according to the maintenance manual. In fact, the dealer (Covert Ford in Austin) did the 30K checkup. I spent $1K on that (and probably got ripped off). I took it to a transmission specialist and had it fixed for under $2500. He informed me that he sees a lot of issus like this with Explorers - probably a poor design and poor quality. Also, judging by various websites there are indeed lots of complains like this. I talked with Kenny Covert (probably the worst customer service skills I've ever dealt with) and was very patient and professional in my request to see if he could do anything. He got back to me right away that he was interested in helping - but then he would never get back to me. I kept sending emails, but no response. He was only interested in making a buck on the next poor quality vehicle that he was going to sell. Not interested in assisting previous customers.

Inheriting another person's staff: How to dealFebruary 24, 2012: 1:25 PM ET
As a new manager, you may want to jump into devising a grand strategy to change the business. But don't forget that you have a whole staff to convince before you take a single step forward.
By Alex Kantrowitz, contributor
FORTUNE – So you've just become a manager. As the fizz settles in that celebratory glass of champagne, the newly hired (or promoted) will need to start thinking about the challenges of their recently won positions.
And while you might have an urge to muse about your grand business strategy, you best not disregard what is likely your most critical first challenge: earning the confidence and cooperation of the staff you just inherited.
Ryan Rush ran headlong into this trial as he started his role as a vice president of merchandising and design at Santa Cruz-based O'Neill Clothing. Rush inherited 21 employees in an underperforming men's division and was asked to turn it around. As he set out to accomplish this goal, Rush faced resistance, including open dissension from a star employee who went straight to the CEO to voice his disagreements.
For new managers, Rush's situation is no strange happening; it should almost be expected. So what do you do?
Start by finding out what each employee expects from the company, says Tom Davenport, who is a consultant and author of Manager Redefined. "There is an unwritten understanding of what each employee puts into the company and what they expect to get in return." As long as an employee feels their company is living up to its side of the deal, says Davenport, they will likely continue to invest in their work.
As a new manager, you must assure your staffers that those deals are still intact. The manager is the keeper of the company's side of the bargain and, when a manager is replaced, it is only natural for employees to feel their deals are at risk. Davenport suggests asking employees questions like "Why did you join the company, why do you stay, and where do you want your career to go from here?" These questions will help you understand what your employees think their deals are, and it will give you a chance to show that you are committed to upholding them.

You should also try to establish relationships with the team's critical leaders, says John Challenger, CEO of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, an executive outplacement services firm, referring not just to the staffers at the top of the org chart, but the covert leaders too. "It's important to learn not just who reports to whom, but the underlying structure of the organization as well. Look for the ringleaders, those who drive the conversation, and win them over." These relationships, says Challenger, will help you find out what your team does really well and help you avoid what plagued the team under the previous manager.
On a more technical note, when you are not able to decide who exactly is part of your team, you should concentrate on job design, meaning the way you allocate tasks to each position. "In the vast majority of cases where you don't get to pick your people, job design is critical," says Harvard Business School Professor Frances Frei. "One of the consistent fantasies of leadership is that you pick your best and brightest and go to war. Managers often end up designing roles for people they wish they had, as opposed to those they really do have." When you don't have control of employee selection, Frei says, you must structure jobs to match the capabilities of your employees.
In Rush's case, he set out to learn as much as possible about the company and to build rapport with his new team. He sat down with all 21 of his staffers and asked the following questions: What's right with our business? What's wrong with our business? What do you hope I might do? What are you afraid I might do? What would you do if you were me? The discussions helped him understand the business and form a bond with his team.
Rush did make some changes, and the employee who complained to the CEO ended up leaving, but things settled into place after about two months and worked smoothly for another four years. Last summer, Rush left O'Neill to start his own clothing company. This time, he'll be able to build his team from scratch.

|Re: [cdt-dev] Include paths for GCC and the indexer
I'm trying to solve an issue in ObjectivEClipse:
Basically, the problem is that in an Objective C code, the concept of 'frameworks' largely replace the concept of libs, but affect their on-disk format. For example>
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
is logically the same as
#import "/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Headers/Foundation.h"
This is picked up automatically by the compiler and linker (when -framework Foundation is added).
However, CDT has include paths and doesn't understand how to find <Foundation/Foundation.h>, largely because there isn't a 'Foundation' directory with a Foundation.h in it.
I suspect the same is true of #include as well (though #import is more common in ObjectiveC).
What would be the best way of trying to hook in the resolution of these directories? Is there some kind of extension point which can modify/contribute inclusion paths? Ideally it would be good to let GCC handle it, but being able to have some kind of project-defined {platform} that could then be searched to resolve #import <a/b.h> headers, that would be good.
Here's Apple's man page describing the use of -F
Add the framework directory dir to the head of the list of directories to be searched for header files. These
directories are interleaved with those specified by -I options and are scanned in a left-to-right order.
A framework directory is a directory with frameworks in it. A framework is a directory with a "Headers" and/or
"PrivateHeaders" directory contained directly in it that ends in ".framework". The name of a framework is the
name of this directory excluding the ".framework". Headers associated with the framework are found in one of
those two directories, with "Headers" being searched first. A subframework is a framework directory that is in
a framework's "Frameworks" directory. Includes of subframework headers can only appear in a header of a
framework that contains the subframework, or in a sibling subframework header. Two subframeworks are siblings
if they occur in the same framework. A subframework should not have the same name as a framework, a warning
will be issued if this is violated. Currently a subframework cannot have subframeworks, in the future, the
mechanism may be extended to support this. The standard frameworks can be found in
"/System/Library/Frameworks" and "/Library/Frameworks". An example include looks like "#include
<Framework/header.h>", where Framework denotes the name of the framework and header.h is found in the
"PrivateHeaders" or "Headers" directory.
Like -F except the directory is a treated as a system directory. The main effect is to not warn about
constructs contained within header files found via dir.

Conkeldurr draws many comparisons to its fatter cousin Hariyama. Both are bulky, slow Fighting-types with access to Guts and priority, and both make excellent attackers. Conkeldurr's main draws over Hariyama are STAB Mach Punch and a bone-shattering Base 140 Attack stat. Conkeldurr does have problems against common Psychic-types however, and is very easy to wear down through recoil damage. Due to its low base Speed, Conkeldurr functions best on a Trick Room team, where its teammates can more effectively deal with fast Psychic-types such as Latios that can make life difficult for Conkeldurr. It can be difficult to use, but Conkeldurr's raw power will often make up for the effort needed to utilize it.
Guts is a fantastic ability in VGC. With a status Orb equipped, Conkeldurr gains an immunity to sleep and a permanent boost in Attack, a major advantage over Gems. Guts also negates the decrease in Attack burn causes, making Flame Orb the preferable item over Toxic Orb, as switching is often disadvantageous in VGC. This means that in the long run a burn will generally do less damage to Conkeldurr than severe poisoning. Drain Punch helps offset the burn recoil damage, and is also a decently powerful STAB move. Hammer Arm hits much harder, though, and makes Conkeldurr "faster" under Trick Room. Rock Slide provides good coverage, especially on Flying-types. Payback is an option on a set being used outside of Trick Room, as it is Conkeldurr's strongest option against Latios. Mach Punch is a powerful priority move and is Conkeldurr's main niche. Detect is an excellent move in VGC, being less likely to be shut down by enemy Imprison users than Protect. It is also essential for guaranteeing that Conkeldurr has a turn for Flame Orb to activate.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Conkeldurr can use an Iron Ball and Fling to deal tremendous damage to Psychic- and Ghost-types, but this is often an impractical choice as Guts is one of Conkeldurr's biggest draws. Conkeldurr has considerable physical bulk, so Counter can be used to get the upper hand against physical attackers. Coba Berry is a gimmicky option alongside Counter, as with it Conkeldurr can survive an Acrobatics and KO back in retaliation. Brick Break isn't any stronger than Drain Punch, but its ability to remove the effects of Reflect and Light Screen can be very useful in certain situations. Earthquake is also a possible coverage move, but Rock Slide is generally superior in terms of the targets that it hits, and does not have the unwanted side-effect of hurting Conkeldurr's grounded teammates. Foresight takes away a Ghost-type Pokemon's immunity to Fighting-type attacks, but VGC is generally too fast-paced for Conkeldurr to make any use of this.
Checks and Counters
Reuniclus is the biggest threat to this set, not being overly bothered by Conkeldurr's standard moves and OHKOing with Psychic. Psychic-types in general, such as Latios, and other fast special attackers also provide problems, as Conkeldurr does not have the special bulk required to take repeated special attacks, especially when considering burn damage. Ghost-types can often deal with Conkeldurr with little risk as well, assuming that they aren't as frail as Gengar. A Flying Gem-boosted Acrobatics from most Pokemon will OHKO or severely damage Conkeldurr, and burn damage is soon to finish it off almost immediately if Conkeldurr does survive. Intimidate diminishes Conkeldurr's Attack and therefore its usefulness, meaning Conkeldurr can become dead weight, especially if the opponent brings out two Pokemon with Intimidate at the same time. Lastly, if Conkeldurr is burned and a damaging weather is in effect, then it will be losing 3/16th of its HP per turn, causing it to faint fairly quickly.
Conkeldurr's Dream World ability is Iron Fist. Mach Punch and Drain Punch are both strengthened by this ability, but generally the superior boost in power from Guts and the correlating pseudo-immunity to status make Guts a much more useful ability.

Lifting Things
All vehicles and aircraft can be lifted with safety in mind. Just say no to planes with rockets and missiles in cargo.
Any vehicle must be lifted to allow us to get underneath or at least take the weight off the wheels. Our industry's more normal vehicles, such as vans and pickups and even catering or servicing trucks like the ever-loved "Biffy" or lavatory trucks, are no real problem.
It's only when you get up into the aircraft tugs designed to push and pull the wide-bodies that things become interesting.
It takes more than power to move the heavyweight aircraft and these tow units weigh upwards of 65,000 pounds. All that weight is needed to gain traction. And so here comes the weight, four-wheel drive and some heavy-duty rubber.
Even then, I have been disconcerted to have a tug lose traction and start moving sideways rather than in the desired direction. It really doesn't take snow or ice to destroy traction. A little oil on the tarmac emulsified by some rain will do just fine.
Weighty or not, these units must all be lifted. Sometimes just a corner to replace a wheel, but often to allow a lucky soul to slide underneath on a creeper to grease fittings or get to that pesky sump plug to drain engine oil. Only those working in the Northern climes can truly appreciate the delight of accumulated snow melting and falling on their faces.
Most all airline GSE shops have hydraulic lifts like those that can be found in any truck repair facility.
It goes without saying that anyone venturing under a jacked-up vehicle should install blocks or stands to prevent it coming down while they are underneath. I can also testify that these stands or props should be strong enough to hold the weight and also stable enough so they do not tip.
I came into the auto shop one dark and stormy night to get a cup of coffee and found a very white-faced Vinnie, the graveyard shift mechanic, contemplating a tractor that had rocked back off some wooden blocks that were being used to prop it up. It had come down. He had been just about to go under the tug to start dropping a tranny when he leaned on the vehicle. The wooden blocks toppled. He only had the front end up so it was not level. Vinnie was not a big person, but I'm not sure he would have neatly fit under the tug if it had come down on him.
In older facilities, servicing pits might be common. These make it simple to just drive the vehicle over the pit. Access was certainly good, better than being on your back under something that could flatten you if it came down prematurely.
Still, there is one hazard. Gasoline or cleaning agents produce fumes that are heavier than air and seek low points to collect in. Servicing pits under often leaking vehicles provide just such a spot. If ignited servicing pits are very hard to escape from and so the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, as well as fire protection codes, have some stiff requirements.
Aircraft are a special matter. Our most common and abused aircraft jack is the axle jack used to change wheels and brakes. These jacks live out on the ramp and are exposed to weather. That's bad enough, but they're also exposed to aircraft hydraulic fluid that drips down on them at exactly the same time their pistons are extended.
Jacks commonly use a mineral fluid and their seals are often not compatible with the synthetic aircraft hydraulic fluids. On several notable occasions I have had axle jacks blow their seals out while extended with an aircraft on top of them. They were fitted with locking rings that screwed down on the hydraulic ram. When the aircraft axles were up, prior to changing the wheel, you screwed a locking ring down on the lifting ram. To release the lock you had to slightly extend the ram to take the weight off the locking ring. Inevitably, the ram seals would then blow their guts.
It takes a wing jack to lift the airplane enough to get the axle jack out and these are usually miles away at the hangar. Towing them on their casters is out so we had to use a large forklift to transport them. Try that one on the long service road around JFK Airport.
