Thai society (also compared to Chinese)
So, I'm living in Thailand now. Here are some things I'd like to say about Thai society.
Thais and other Asians
To be honest, Thais generally have negative views of many other Southeast Asians, especially Cambodians, Burmese, and often the northern hill-tribes. Laotians are viewed similarly as Isaan people: ultimately cultural and linguistic cousins of the Thais, but uncouth folks from the boondocks. Many expats from these ethnic groups in Thailand feel discriminated against by Thais. There are many individuals that would get along quite well with each other, but as a whole, these nationalities do not get along and keep to themselves. In fact, I've had Cambodians here tell me that Thais are racist and bigoted (at least to other SE Asians). The northern hill-tribes have not been treated well by the Thai government either.
Northeast Asians (Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, HK/Singaporeans), however, are treated well and highly regarded. China and Japan have had positive diplomatic ties with Thailand for centuries, and since they do not border Thailand, they don't compete directly for land and resources the way that Cambodia or Burma had for centuries. The Chinese have been by far the best assimilated group, and Thais feel a special kinship with them, as many Thais have Chinese ancestry. There was a short period in the 1900's during which the Chinese were vilified, but this has long since passed. Today, they are still the "Jews of Southeast Asia." Many top Thai businessmen and politicians today have direct Chinese patrilineal ancestry. Across central Thailand, it is very common to find shops with Chinese characters, as well as Chinese restaurants.
However, local Thais are not particularly fond of the large groups of Chinese tourists who do not bother to speak Thai, have crude manners (from the Thai perspective), and act like stereotypical "sleazy tourists." There are many recent Chinese immigrants who do settle down and eventually blend in quite well in Thai society though.
South Asians (Indians, Pakistanis, and others) are called "khaek," which means "guest people." They generally are viewed less favorably than the NE Asians, although many South Asians have also integrated quite into Thai society over the centuries. Much of Thai culture ultimately comes from India.
Thailand has an assimilationist policy in that it only recognizes one official ethnic group and one official language: Thai. Everyone born and raised in Thai society will be expected to be Thai, not take on separate non-Thai identities. Hence, the wide range of looks that present-day Thais have, which can range from light-skinned NE Asian to almost South Asian (Indian)-like.
Thais are highly nationalistic, and the country has a strong right-wing feel, quite unlike China's strong left-wing feel with a neo-capitalist twist. As the wealthiest and most powerful Southeast Asian country north of Malaysia and west of the Philippines, Thailand feels very superior to its weaker neighbors.
Etiquette and social class in Thai society
Thailand is a very hierarchical society, which is quite evident in their language and etiquette. This stands in stark contrast to China, which feels much more egalitarian and feels far less hierarchical than Thailand. Thais have very elaborate ways of using correct words and phrasings to talk to people of higher/lower social standings, older/younger people, and so on. China is much more simple in that language etiquette is pretty much binary -- informal vs. formal (as with Spanish) for basic pronouns, such as "you." But in Thai, you would have a "proper" Sanskrit-derived term for words as basic as "eat," which would be used in formal contexts instead of the informal, "regular" native Thai term.
As a result, Thais are very deferential, very polite, and highly conscious of social class and status. In this respect, Thais are far more like Japanese than Chinese. Simple everyday purchases at convenience stores and restaurants all involve deferential head ducks and wais. Bills are often presented to customers with both hands. Thais also speak very softly (except for the hustlers targeting foreign tourists), much more so than the mainland Chinese. In China, people are much, much rougher, as the Cultural Revolution has made China a complete polar opposite of Thailand in many ways.
However, the down side is that oftentimes when Thais don't like you, they'll keep on being polite and won't say anything. The Chinese would tend to show immediate irritation when not impressed, on the other hand.
Beggars are treated much better in Thailand than in China. Thais have much more compassion than many NE Asians do with the less fortunate. In Thailand, it's actually good karma to give alms to the poor, whereas people in China just don't think this way.
People do line up in Thailand. Once in a while, a few impatient individuals may try to cut the queue, but this is surprisingly rare. Not so in China! Thais rarely spit too.
The Thais also take cleanliness far more seriously than the mainland Chinese and Indians do. People rarely throw trash willy-nilly as they do in China, and usually only drop plastic wrappings by the edges of sidewalks, not entire bags of food straight out in the open as in China. Streets are swept regularly, and homes are usually kept very tidy.
Thai bureaucrats and academics also do not cooperate well with each other, and form cliques within their respective institutions that can make negotiations difficult. Why? The short answer is that Thais do not trust each other very much. Comparatively, doing business and coordinating institutions in China would be much easier.
Thais will highly respect you if you dress like a proper middle-class, well-educated citizen, and if they know you went to a respectable university or have a respectable job. Sleazy tourists are not looked well upon by the educated class.
Just my 2 cents, please feel free to comment, ask questions, or object.

Great post, Falcon! I, eventually, would like to live somewhere permanently in Asia--after I'm done teaching English in China--and Thailand seems like a good fit for me. Having visited the country once before (and enjoying it!), I ended up getting some very good vibes about the place. I wouldn't mind living there on a permanent basis one day.
Re: Thai society (also compared to Chinese)
Your points of analysis about Thailand jibes very well with what I've observed, felt, and sensed during my times here. But since you are contrasting to China, what are you basing that side on (your ancestry and family background plus your trips to certain areas there?). I'm particularly interested in how you came to this observation - "Thais are highly nationalistic, and the country has a strong right-wing feel, quite unlike China's strong left-wing feel with a neo-capitalist twist. "
Speaking of manners. I actually picked up an eating habit in Taiwan (which is already way more polite and refined than PRC) which didn't seem to go over very well here - softly and quietly spitting out small bones after chewing on a a porkchop or piece of chicken. The Thais I was around were direct enough to politely let me know this doesn't look good here.
Thais outside of the sleaze world are generally polite and smooth. It really in many ways feels like the softest Asian country (next to Japan) that I've been too. In Manila, people constantly honk their horns like idiots over nothing and the noise and air pollution is so hard to bear. But Bangkok is amazingly quiet given its high density and congestion. People rarely honk and when they do, its a light tap for a practical reason, not a honking match to see who's more macho. Thais know how to organize a complex large city and make it a very pleasant and safe place to walk, eat, shop, play, etc.
I really appreciate this and many other aspects. They leave you alone. This can be a safe country to live in if you follow all the unwritten rules. That's one of the reason why so many foreigners love it here. It's very much live and let live as long as you don't cross 'the boundaries'.
Why might Thais look down on whites? Lad says its in large part due to the history and way they are taught in school though I don't think anamericaninbangkok (a foreigner who speaks Thai, has lived here last 2 decades and has a child going to local schools) agrees with this view. From my perspective and putting myself in the shoes of the Thais, I can understand why they might feel this way just by walking around the city of Bangkok. You still see aging whoremongers, subsistence wage English teachers, and rowdy shoestring backpackers. Many white people here still carry an attitude on their sleeve which just isn't appreciated in this culture. In nearby Pattaya, Russians may even be considered more obnoxious than regular Euro/Aussie white expats. And when white guys pair with the locals, the default seems to be with the lower status females, even sometimes for white guys in respectable or even sometimes high level expat positions. Also, the majority do not bother to learn much Thai.
There are also many western families who come here and other westerner expats who dress smart and adapt well to the norms here. I believe these types of westerners are held in a different light by many locals. It's hard for Thais to deny the appeal of cute white children and families who are well healed enough to stay in expensive resorts and 5 star hotels. White guys (and girls) who adapt well are going to be appreciated, especially if they are young and Asian trendy looking. I do believe westerner expats create a lot of their own longer term problems in certain countries. Even in Phils (which in theory is supposed to like whites), there is some stigma attached to dating a white guy in certain circles.
About beggars: Here locals often hand them coins or even small bills. In return, they are extremely passive and rarely harass people including tourists. In contrast, I remember seeing beggars get kicked around and scolded by locals in China if say they were too near someone's shop. Spot on Falcon.
What you say regarding Thais views other Asians and the distinctions you draw makes a lot more sense to me then the blanket "If you are Asian, the Thais will accept you, if you're not, they will hate you" posted in the past on this forum.
Re: Thai society (also compared to Chinese)
Im sure this thai chinese woman feels assimilated to thai...enough to have the chinese flag painted on her face
Thanks for your valuable insights as always Rock.
Yes I have met some of those white expats, and they are very well treated and perceived upon by wealthy middle-class Thais. These sharply dressed whites with professional positions who speak excellent Thai and adapt well, would be actually viewed much better than the sleazy Chinese and Korean tourists.
I'm basing this on Guangzhou, Nanning, and rural SW China.
As to how I reached this conclusion, walk around the large cities of each country for a few days, and this should sink in if you've done some good observation. Look at the monuments, TV, the way the government promotes itself. In Thailand, you'll see these everywhere: Thai flags, the king's portrait, fancy nationalistic monuments, and very right-wing sounding street names (kings and democracy). You often hear the Thai national anthem and see the Thai military on TV.
China has big apartment blocks and feels more like the old USSR. Many public banners talk about "revolutionary" socialism and "modern reform." You'll hear all sorts of talk about "socialist equality" on TV. Government propaganda focuses on the "56 official ethnic groups" of China as equal and reaching towards the same socialist goals, rather than exclusively on the Han Chinese. In Thailand, the talk is more about the preservation of old traditions (not socialist reform) and the superiority of the Thais (not an egalitarian mosaic of dozens of ethnic groups, as in China).
Thailand feels like Mussolini's Italy, and China feels like the USSR. In fact, one of my Russian friends told me that my reports and photos of China are strikingly reminiscent of Russia's Communist days.
The general opinion seems to be that Thailand is more "laid-back" than China. Well, if "laid-back" means slow-going and not aggressive and pushy, then yes. But the Chinese are far more laid-back about manners than the Thais are. The Thais are real sticklers about manners, whereas anything goes in China. In the sense of not being sticklers about social hierarchy, table manners, and greetings, the Chinese are really the laid-back ones. You can do pretty much anything at the dinner table or in Chinese restaurants without getting stares (blowing your nose, spitting out bones, making loud slurping sounds, putting your elbow up), and no one will ever care. Once, I was blowing my nose loudly while having lunch with some Thais, and I was gently reminded that this is actually rude.
While in Guangzhou, a Nigerian guy told me that Chinese streets feel much "freer" than Nigerian streets, since people get to throw anything on the streets without getting in trouble, and dress sloppily without getting stares. In Nigeria, the police do care about littering, and fine offenders. My Nigerian friend pointed to the burned-out cigarettes, watermelon husks, and large piles of rubbish, saying that the average Nigerian street isn't nearly as messy.
Nice write up.
Yes Chinese cities have plenty of communist era drab apartment blocks, but they're being replaced by modern tower blocks and some very tasty out of town garden communities.
Chinese people can appear very rude, and they were an embarrassment in Tokyo when I was there! On the other hand Thais must be appreciative all all the extra tourist dollars heading to Thailand.
I hate seeing people spitting and it's heartbreaking to see little kids throw litter away anywhere. Still it keeps a small army of street cleaners in jobs.
On the other hand you can go shopping in your pajamas and nobody will worry about that, unlike in England!
For all the chaos in China though, the place is actually very ordered. People get very upset if you do something they're not expecting.
As for begging, they make some cash but it's generally frowned upon. In fact there are laws against some forms of begging, e.g. using kids.
Usually beggers here are crippled with horrendous injuries. I wouldn't be surprised to see the victims of that recent bus fire out begging. It's sad but there's very little social support here.
Some of the beggers here have terrible afflictions, and it's definitely something other Chinese people don't want people taking photos of.
China is very much about face and anything that shows China in a bad light is taboo.
I don't read much Chinese but even I can spot the patriotic messages on posters and on bus/train TV screens.
Also there are subtle tricks like I found an anti-Japan exercise book in the student stationery store. I bought it as it's really interesting.
On the whole this place is work, work, work and part of the reason why I haven't found a wife yet is that all but 1 girl I've met works.

Thais don't like any of their neighboring countries although they may lie about this. Mainly it comes from their long history of fighting with them. Laos extended into Thailand and to this day many Thais from Issan will ask, "Wao Lao Baw?" Do you speak Lao? Some may say, no Wao Issan even after centuries this linguistic quirk remains.
The Burmese - Thais will let them work their manual labor jobs but in general they hate them. Go take a look at the Grand Palace (if I remember correctly) where there are pictures of the Burmese killing babies painted on one wall in particular.
Malaysia and the whole issue with the south....Cambodia and the Preah Vihear...they respect the Chinese and Vietnamese for their intelligence and money making ability though.

Well, guess what. I've found that this neat trick suddenly gets hustlers in touristy areas to stop talking to me: I begin talking to them in Khmer, or Khmer-sounding babble. They will say "What?" and I'll tell them, "เขมร [Ka-Men]!" They might laugh and/or give me funny looks, and will stop talking to me. The touristy Chinese and Koreans who hardly speak any English or Thai will keep getting followed though!
Bangkok taxi drivers, who are usually middle-aged men from Isaan, are always quite interested in Chinese culture and language. Usually I tell them that I'm from China, though I'm actually Taiwanese American. They would want me to teach them Chinese phrases, show them photos of China, and tell them about what China is like. I've even had a taxi driver tell me that "Chinese are smart," by which he meant their acute business sense.
As for the Burmese, Thai history remembers them quite well as the villains who destroyed Ayutthaya in 1767. Now many Thais think of them as drug smugglers, drug addicts, refugees, and criminals, which is pretty much what Mexicans think of Central Americans today.
Just look at all these past wars:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian_ ... 80%9312%29
In the 1940's after the Franco-Thai War, the provinces ceded from Cambodia by France to Thailand were regrouped into four new Thai provinces - Phra Tabong, Phibunsongram, Nakhon Champassak and Koh Kong:
Thailand and Vietnam have had their squabbles, but overall Thailand is still much friendlier with Vietnam than with its immediately neighboring countries.

Re: Thai society (also compared to Chinese)
I asked this question in another thread but I'm curious to know where you get your information. For being here such a short time you've gathered quite a bit of intel.
About the only thing I would disagree with is the Thais jumping the queue. They are constantly butting in front of people, Thai or farang.
My wife just allows people to jump in front of here where I am not so forgiving. The other day I got in line to buy some coconut ice cream. An older woman came out and jumped the queue. I didn't say anything. Then another woman did the same thing. Then the first women told the vendor she needed four more ice creams. I'd been waiting and hadn't said a word. When she ordered the four more ice creams, I spoke up and told the vendor I had been waiting there for ten minutes and was before the woman. He asked her, "Is it okay if I make him his ice cream?" She wasn't very happy but whether knowingly or not, she had stepped in front of me, I was in a bit of a hurry and had already waited patiently.
This happens in 7'11 quite often. There are two or three people standing in line and some guy will come in and plop down 50 baht and say, "Give me a 50 baht refill for my cell phone." Or they want cigarettes or a hot dog. Again, sometimes I just bite my tongue and other times I either step in front of them or begin talking to the clerk in Thai so they get the picture. Occasionally I'll flat out tell the person, "there's the end of the line." I don't care what culture you're in, when someone is waiting in line to make a purchase, it's rude for someone to jump to the head of the line. Never had anyone come back and tell me to f**k off so I can only assume Thais are oblivious that it's rude and thus think nothing of it.
Another irritant - Thais standing in front of the escalator. You're going up the escalator, you turn to go up another one and there's a family of Thais standing in front of it trying to figure out what to do. Completely oblivious that maybe they should step to the side. Some will move aside when you attempt to go up or down and some just stand there. There is very little politeness in these situations. If you push your way through saying excuse me, sorry, sorry, they generally get the picture but this is one of a few minor irritations here.

Re: Thai society (also compared to Chinese)
let's be honest here. the only reason why thailand even has a tourism industry, and is portrayed positively is because thailand allows the cia to run torture camps there, and the other reason, well you said it, the thai regime is ultra right wing. secondly, the stuff about china is false like most stuff written on the internet. china has a strong left wing? what planet are you living on? there hasnt had a strong left wing in china for 35yrs. so either your info is extremely out of date, or you are a straight up disinfo agent. china is not screwed up because of the cultural revolution. china is screwed up because it became capitalist. i talked to some old timers, and they literally saw china fall into pieces after 1978. prior to that, people trusted each other, had the most extreme amount of solidarity you could ever imagine. from 1949-1978, people looked after each other. there was no crime, no pollution, no scams, none of that. and now the reactionaries are trying to blame the problems in china on the cultural revolution? i dont think so.
To long-term expats like you, a few weeks is not a long time, but it certainly is to me. I live life in the fast lane, and always try to get a lot done in a relatively short amount of time. I'm not like the other expats who've lived here for a few years and still hardly know, or experience, anything beyond the foreigner enclaves.
Well, I actually go out and do stuff, talk to a lot of people, go local, and so on. My trips to Mexico were always never more than 20 days each, and yet I was always able to gather a lot of info.
As for jumping the queue, I've experienced what you've just written about, but this is still far, far tamer compared to China. When the mainland Chinese cut in line, it's violent pushing and shoving involving the whole crowd. And I mean rough elbowing and pushing with both hands/arms. Go to China and experience queue warfare for yourself, and you'll see how tame Thai cutting really is.
A few years ago, I was with 2 white friends somewhere out in Sichuan province waiting to board a bus to Chengdu. There was a small crowd of locals (all male) waiting to board the same bus. When said bus arrived, the guys all mobbed the entrance pushing and squeezing and made a bunch of noise as if if the first one to get in would win a huge lottery prize or something. My friends and I watched in amazement with slack-jawed expressions. I had been in China for awhile by then but this was extreme even by PRC standards. Some people in the crowd noticed us and started laughing. Then the bus driver standing at the door said something in dialect and the crowd actually motioned for us to get on the bus first. Weird but funny at the time. I wish I had videoed it.
BTW, same thing happens to me sometimes in Bangkok convenience stores. I'll be in line and some Thai will angle in ahead of me and put their stuff down on counter, oftentimes it's just one item. Maybe they figure that since they have only one item, the can jump queue. Or maybe farang are invisible lol. What I've sometimes done to pre-empt this is to get my items on the counter near cashier as soon as possible, even to point of putting them behind items of person ahead of me who is getting his or her items rung up. I believe in Taiwan, people in banks used to crowd around each teller and line their passbooks up on the counter, a system which encouraged aggressive pushing, shoving and even jumping on people's backs. Now banks in both Taiwan and Thailand typically use a take a number and wait to be called system.
I've been to China twice, once when covering the Olympics and another time for a fight. During the Olympics Chinese in Beijing seemed very tame...the other time I was in Hui Li and it was relatively quiet with the exception of when one particular fortune teller began doing his thing. A huge group ran and gathered around the guy making it very hard to see why they were fussing.

Only been in Thailand for half a day but...
Worst traffic jam EVER!
I can't remember a single car horn being sounded.
Compare that to China, which was just crazy.
I have bitter regrets of not filming CROWD FIGHTS TO GET ON EMPTY BUS IN GUANGZHOU. It was astonishing. I don't know if China will collapse, but if it does they will fall upon each other like animals.

Trump Hits Dems for 'Obstruction,' Says Kavanaugh 'Anxious' to Defend Himself
Says both sides should be heard before Senate.
President Trump blasted Democrats for seeking to "obstruct" the confirmation of his Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh based on a newly-disclosed allegation of attempted sexual assault.
Kavanaugh has been accused by Christine Blasey Ford, a California research psychologist, of sexual assault at a high school party in the 1980s. He has emphatically denied the allegation.
Trump said it's a "terrible thing" for Democrats to have waited until a few days before the first Senate confirmation vote to release Ford's letter outlining her allegation.

"They could have done that instead of waiting 'til everything was finished and then all of a sudden spring it, but that's what the Democrats do. ... It's obstruction, it's resist, it's whatever you have to do," he told reporters at the White House.
He said Kavanaugh is "very anxious" to appear before the Senate to defend himself against the allegations. Trump asked why Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) did not mention Ford's letter when she met with Kavanaugh in his office for an "extended period of time."
Trump said Kavanaugh will make an "incredible" Supreme Court justice and both sides should be heard in a Senate hearing.

Smith to mentor JAX postdoc about active learning techniques
A professor at the University of Maine and a postdoctoral researcher at The Jackson Laboratory have been awarded a fellowship geared at promoting active learning techniques to improve biology education.
Michelle Smith, an assistant professor in UMaine's School of Biology and Ecology, and Christopher Baker, a genetics researcher at The Jackson Laboratory, earned a Promoting Active Learning & Mentoring (PALM) Fellowship that connects postdoctoral fellows with mentors who are experts in active learning techniques.
Smith is an expert. She's regularly invited by colleges nationwide to share her research about active learning. In 2013, she became principal investigator on four projects and co-principal investigator on another, all aimed at improving science instruction and assessments nationwide.
She also is a co-principal investigator on a newly awarded $1.9 million National Science Foundation grant to improve STEM teacher preparation and retention in rural high-needs districts.
In one study, she and collaborators found that students in undergraduate science, engineering and mathematics classes that incorporated active learning techniques were 1.5 times more likely to pass than those in traditional lecture-format classes.
And they found those in active learning sections earned grades nearly one-half a standard deviation higher, or, for example, a B rather than a B-, than students listening to a lecturer.
At The Jackson Laboratory, Baker conducts research to understand the process that generates new genetic variation in sexually reproducing organisms.
Smith and Baker met at a course at The Jackson Laboratory called The Whole Scientist that provides scientists with training in several areas, including teaching, grant-writing, ethics, entrepreneurship and communication.
For the fellowship, they'll collaborate on a classroom unit on genetic recombination. In late March, Baker will teach the topic to students in Smith's genetics course using active-learning techniques such as clickers and peer discussion.
The collaboration, says Smith, is a win-win. Baker will gain hands-on experience using active learning strategies as well as feedback and guidance.
Smith and her students will benefit from Baker's up-to-the minute research knowledge on the topic of recombination and genetic variation.
Several partners, including the Genetics Society of America, support this fellowship; Smith and Baker are both members of GSA.
"The current literature shows that current and future college instructors can learn more about active learning and get the support and constructive feedback they need if they participate in long-term mentoring opportunities," Smith says.
"I am appreciative to the PALM network and societies such as the GSA for having the vision to support these types of initiatives."
This is the first year the award has been presented. Three mentor/mentee pairs were chosen.

For me the start of New York Fashion Week is when I watch Michael Costello's beautiful designs flow down the runway. This season he did not disappoint when he gave us larger than life hair and gowns. It was Palm Springs in the 70s and I loved every minute of it.
One attribute that I adore about Costello is that he's never afraid of embracing a female figure. All types of female figures. There is so much glamor, so much beauty and elegance in his pieces. This particular collection reminds me of a lady of leisure whose not afraid to be the head of the house. The transition from soft, white, flowing gowns to black, metallic, structured pieces shows the duality of leisure and boss every woman possess.
As a whole, the collection really brought me to Palm Springs in the '70s, or at least what I imagine to be the perfect Palm Springs 70s garb. That was such a glamours era for California in one of the wealthiest communities. They loved a good party and this collection seems to fit perfectly with the capes, bell sleeves, and disco hair.
After watching the show, and revisiting the collection, I am this close to teasing my naturally curly hair and float around New York in an all white satin cape dress. Watch out!
Take a look at these top picks from the Michael Costello show, and what to expect Fall/Winter 2017.

Teen Job Interview Questions, Answers, and Tips
When you are a teen preparing for a job interview, it can be helpful to review typical interview questions that you will most likely be asked. Reviewing answers as well can help you come up with your own responses. Take the time to personalize your answers, so they reflect you, as a person and as a candidate for employment.
Watch Now: 7 Most Important Interview Tips for Teenagers
Teen Job Interview Questions and Answers
Why Are You Looking for a Job?
Of course, everyone wants to make money at a job, but the reasons you should share with a potential employer should reflect your interest in the field, or in helping to develop your skill set. - Best Answers
Why Are You Interested in Working for Our Company?
Employers ask this question to gauge your interest in the field, and to see if you have done your research. Make sure you check out the company's website at the very least and familiarize yourself with what the company does, what the work and the work culture are like, and what's important to them. - Best Answers
How Has School Prepared You For Working at Our Company?
Here is your opportunity to talk about the skills you have gained in your education that will make you an ideal candidate for the position. - Best Answers
Why Should We Hire You?
New hires take time to train, and the company wants to know you are worth it. Let them know about your interest in contributing to the company immediately, and be sure to mention if you think they are a firm you would like to consider when your studies are complete. - Best Answers
What Do You Think It Takes to be Successful in This Position?
The job posting can be very helpful in letting you know how they will want you to answer this question. Let them know about the skills you have that they are looking for. - Best Answers
How Would You Describe Your Ability To Work as a Team Member?
There have likely been many times you have worked as a team, on projects, in sports or while volunteering. The interviewer will want to hear a specific example of a time you worked successfully in a team situation. - Best Answers

You don't want to brag, but you should share an accomplishment that relates to some of the qualities or experiences required for the job you're interviewing for. - Best Answers
What Are Your Salary Expectations?
With this question, the employer is trying to establish that your expectations are reasonable. As a young worker, the salary you are offered will probably align with an entry-level position. It's usually best to avoid a specific number unless you know for a fact what the job pays. - Best Answers

Tips for Handling a Job Interview for Teens
The key to successful interviewing for teens is to do exactly what a professional candidate for employment would do. That's the best way to make a positive impression on a prospective employer and to enhance your chances of getting the job.
I worked with a teen going on her first interview for a volunteer position, and she got a job offer on the spot. Why was it so easy? She dressed appropriately, answered questions in an informed manner, had questions to ask the interviewer, and, in general, made a very good impression on the interviewer.
Be Prepared
Don't only show up for the interview. The more information you have prepared in advance, the better impression you will make on the interviewer. Take the time to get working papers (if you need them) and references, before you start looking for a job. Do your research. Learn all you can about the position and the company. The job posting and others for similar positions can offer valuable information about what they are looking for in a candidate.
That will let you know what skills you should be emphasizing on your resume and in your interview.
Checking out the company website will give you insight into the company culture, and exactly what they do and aspire to accomplish.
All this information will allow you the opportunity to give complete, educated answers to anything the interviewer might ask.
Bring the following with you to the interview:
- Completed job application (if the employer doesn't have it already)
- Working papers (if you need them)
- References
- Resume (if you have one)
- Notepad / pen
Be Polite
It's essential to have good manners when interviewing. Shake your interviewer's hand. Make sure you listen carefully and thoughtfully to the interviewer. Don't sit until you are invited to. Don't slouch in your chair. Don't use slang or swear. Be polite, positive, and professional throughout the interview.
Know Your Schedule
Know what days and hours you are available to work, as the employer will almost surely ask. Flexibility is an asset, because the more time you are available, the easier it is for the employer to set a work schedule. Also know how you are going to get to and from work if you don't drive.
Be on Time
Arrive at the interview site a few minutes early. If you're not sure where to go, get directions ahead of time. If you aren't driving yourself, make sure you have a reliable ride.
Go on Your Own
If your mom or dad brings you to an interview, don't bring them into the interview room with you. It's important that you speak for yourself and connect with the interviewer, without someone else's assistance.
You need to present yourself as a mature, responsible candidate for employment.
Send a Thank You Note
Take a few minutes to thank the person who interviewed you. If you have an email address, send an email thank you note, otherwise send a paper note thanking the interviewer for taking the time to meet with you.

These state funds are allocated to help prevent excessive instructional staff turnover in certain Special Act School Districts, approved private schools (also known as 853 schools) and preschool special education programs (also known as 4410 schools). Eligible school age and preschool programs are asked to wait to receive the letter and not to request award amount information from SED at this time. There is a very short timeline for form submissions. Upon receipt of the ETTP grant packet, schools need to decide on whether to participate. If so, then the Budget Summary and Certification must be completed and submitted to Rate Setting no later than June 11, 2014. If this form is not received by June 11, 2014, the award may be considered for forfeiture. While the Budget Summary and Certification is being processed by the state, programs are urged to decide on the award recipients so that upon receipt of the 90% funding, the eligible teachers in eligible programs may receive their funds immediately. The Final Expenditure Summary, Usage of Grant Funds, and Award Recipients Listings must be completed and returned to Rate Setting no later than July 28, 2014. If these forms are not received by July 28, 2014, the award may be considered for forfeiture. If you should have any questions about the ETTP grants, please contact David Rothfuss of NYSUT Research and Educational Services at email@example.com.

I recently attended the Annual Conference for the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World. Leading RE, as it is informally known as, is the largest network of Independent Real Estate Companies in the World. It consists of over 500 Companies, with 4,000 offices and roughly 120,000 agents in 40 different countries.
About 2,500 members from 20 different countries descended on the Wynn and Encore Resorts in Las Vegas for the Annual Conference. It featured 140 member panelists and 40 guest speakers including Stephan Swanepoel, author of the annual Swanepoel Trends Report, and Matthew Ferrara of Matthew Ferrara and Co. a leading industry Trainer, Speaker and Writer.
Daniel Pink, who has authored 5 books about taking a fresh new look at selling, delivered the Opening Session Keynote Address to a packed house, and gave some great tips into the changing environment of Sales.
In addition to the Annual Conference, there were 4 Pre-Conference Events. MarTech for Marketing and Technology Professionals, Sales Manager Summit for Real Estate Sales Managers, Performance Summit for Sales Accociates, and Luxury Portfolio Summit for Luxury Sales Associates and Staff.
I was really looking forward to attending this year, as I had not attended the Conference in the last couple of years, and I was not disappointed! The Sessions and Keynotes were informative and fun, and I took a lot away from each of them that I attended. But perhaps my favorite part is connecting with the attendees and speakers. Whether it was new connections, or old friends from previous Conferences, it was great to connect with people from all over the country, as well as all over the world.
The Van Dyk Group has been part of this network for close to 30 years, and we could not be happier that we are a part of it. In being able to recommend top agents from across the country and around the world, we can help you, family members, or friends who are moving or relocating from the area. We can provide a list of top agents in whatever area you are looking to move to.
Just let your Van Dyk Agent know that you are moving out of the area, and we will help you find a top agent that will fit your needs in the area you are looking to move.
It really is that simple!
Our very own Dave Wyrsch Jr talks with 7 on Your Side's on tips to avoid Rental scams on the internet.
It is prime season for criminals taking advantage of summer renters searching the internet for great vacation deals so watch the "Top 7 Tips to Avoid a Summer Rental Rip-off" by Nina Pineda – http://7online.com/realestate/top-7-tips-to-avoid-a-summer-rental-rip-off/761038/
This Saturday, June 28th, we will continue our tradition of Customer Appreciation Day. Each Saturday, during the rental changeover, we set up a tent out in our parking lot, offering complimentary refreshments including water, soda and snacks for our customers.
We started this tradition about 5 years ago, and it consisted of one Saturday in the summer. We had the tent set up, music playing, and refreshments including hot dogs, soda/water, and snacks. Because it was such a success, the following year we decided to do this each Saturday of the summer. We kept up with serving refreshments and snacks, except the hot dogs, and of course it is all complimentary.
Saturday's here on LBI are usually very busy. It is the traditional changeover day, when renters for the previous week check-out, and those renting for the upcoming week arrive. For those arriving, usually they are traveling at least 2 hours, if not more, to get down to LBI. As check-in does not begin until 2pm, many arrive early, hoping to avoid the notorious traffic headed south on the Garden State Parkway and on Route 72 heading over to the Island. Since many cannot go to their rental unit right away, and have been in the car for many hours in some cases, we thought it would be nice to offer some refreshments while they wait to check-in. We have everything set up early enough so that those leaving may also grab a snack or a drink before their long ride home.
This is just a small token our appreciation to our renters, for using us to help them with their summer vacation on Long Beach Island. It is our way of saying thank you. Of course we welcome anyone, whether they have rented with us or not, to stop by for a refreshment. Whether you are riding bikes, taking a walk, or on your way to the beach, anyone is welcome to come by and grab a complimentary snack and/or refreshment.
Look for the tent in our parking lot starting this Saturday, and continuing every Saturday until Labor Day. If you are in the area, feel free to stop by and grab a snack or drink.
See you this Summer!

Illuminati Seven – Click above for high-res image gallery
The vehicle from Illuminati Motor Works, called Seven, was in bits strewn about the team's garage bay at the Automotive X-Prize Knockout Stage in Brooklyn, MI this week. Sure, the car can be put back together quickly and did make it to the track when requested, but not everything is going smoothly for the team from Springfield, IL.
The Seven is a fully-electric car and is also the last all-electric car left standing in the mainstream class. We spoke with team leader/engineer Kevin Smith, who told us that one of the team's problems is that the Seven can't fully charge right now because the batteries aren't conditioned. Illuminati built the 30 kWh pack itself from purchased cells. After the Shakedown Stage in April, the seven-member team needed to take the car apart and work on improvements (a trend that was kept alive when we saw the car – note the missing headlight, which was being repaired) and the battery pack couldn't charge during that time. In fact, the pack needs "dozens" of charges (maybe more) to fill up, with each successive charge holding a bit more juice. This not only hurts the team because they can't get the maximum number of electrons into the car, but also because of the way the AXP judges measure the energy used. The car is filled up, then the tests are run, then the car is charged up again and the energy used is measured. Since the Seven takes in a bit more electricity with each charge, the AXP thinks the car has used more energy than it actually did, Smith explained.
Still, last we heard, the Seven averaged 119.8 miles per gallon equivalent over the three efficiency tests, so there's potential that we'll see this one during the finals stage if they can muster up enough range out of the pack for the distance tests. Maybe Voodoo Steve, the foam being that appeared under the rear window one night, will help.

Rupes MARKll BigFoot 6" Electric Random Orbital Polisher
Rupes MARK ll 6" BIGFOOT POLISHER.
NOTE: This is the updated version of the BigFoot Polisher, now referred to as the MARK ll. The original version (officially named the LEGACY BigFoot Polisher is located here. The MARK ll offers improved performance, and higher RPM. The Legacy and Mark ll machines are very similar in appearance. Product info and photos will be updated soon.
The Rupes® BigFoot 6" Electric Random Orbital Polisher has left an indelible mark on the paint polishing scene. For me, it was love at
While walking the aisles of the 2011 SEMA Show with my good friend Derek Bemiss, we meandered through a sea of car-related tools & goods. Upon eye-balling a booth filled with sanding & polishing machines, Derek commented, "Nice looking stuff", and I agreed. However, neither of us recognized the brand Rupes®, so we forged ahead. But, for some odd reason, I glanced over my shoulder as we strode past, and a number printed atop one of the machines caught my eye: it was a 21. To the average guy, 21 was just a number. But to me, it represented something potentially huge.
I stopped, turned, and locked eyes with one of the fellows manning the booth.
Why is a large diameter stroke or orbit beneficial?
To better understand why a large stroke machine can deliver better and faster polishing results, imagine hand sanding a panel of wood with a typical sanding block & paper using very short 1mm back and forth strokes. Although sanding would be concentrated and exact, most of the sanding debris would remain positioned between the sandpaper and wood panel. Rapid clogging of the sandpaper would likely occur, effectively limiting cutting power and finishing potential.
However, if the length of each sanding stroke was increased (within a similar time frame), the sandpaper would move along at a more rapid pace. The increased speed of motion would assist in loosening any stuck-on debris from the sandpaper, all the while helping to eliminate sanding debris residing between the paper and wood surface. The exact same principles of extending the stroke apply when using the LHR21ES, except its motion is rotational (not linear), and we use buffing liquids (not sandpaper) to accomplish our work.
High speed + lots of motion = very fast polishing.
The LHR21ll BigFoot leaves surfaces beautifully polished & remarkably scour-free.
• An orbit diameter of 21mm
• Super-fast cutting speed
• Fantastic finishing potential
• Extended working time per application of buffing liquid
• Less build-up of contaminants across the face of discs & pads
• Smooth & balanced swooping motions that increase user comfort
• Increased rotation of the backing plate versus other machines
OPTION 1: Add a Rupes Buffing Pad Set, save 15%.
You'll be ready to tackle just about any polishing task if you've a set of Rupes® Buffing Pads on hand. These pads have been optimized specifically for use with BigFoot machines (read about them here). Choose from four different grades:
Blue = Hard Cut | Green = Intermediate Cut | Yellow = Polish | White = Finish
This machine carries a one-year parts and labor warranty (shipping to and from the repair center is not included).
This machine is also available in a factory-built kit: Rupes LHR21ll/DLX Deluxe Edition Duffle Bag Kit

**Additional Update: Friend of the site and former critic Maryscott O'Connor has been nice enough to report on this over at the Daily Kos. A few of the commenters there doubt the veracity of our story, which may be justified, but we are merely passing on the information provided to us by our hosting company. We will continue to investigate this (admittedly bizarre) chain of events and keep you posted as best we can. However, we will note that the hosting company did pass along the name of the person at DHS responsible for the seizure, and we are doing our best to contact him as well. There were, apparently, hundreds of websites shut down because of the seizure, including a site called Alabama for Democracy — a story that can be read about here.
*Update: This isn't a joke, unfortunately. And our server didn't crash because of the link from USA Today (though, we're seriously bummed we didn't get to enjoy that traffic before DHS shut us down). We do appreciate all your comments, however. They've actually helped keep our spirits up today. And, the good news is, we will have this weekend's reviews up (Poseidon, Just My Luck, and Art School Confidential). They may be late but, barring self-inflicted knife wounds following another Lindsay Lohan feature, we'll get the damn things up somehow. Thanks again for hanging out.
Also, the TV Whore will be adding a "Veronica Mars" wrap-up momentarily.
As you can see, Pajiba is a mess. We were as surprised as anyone when the site went down yesterday, but based on the limited information we have, it looks like the Department of Homeland Security has seized the disk drive on which our site was hosted, and apparently they've also taken the backup files. So for the time being, Pajiba has no data, and we don't think the DHS has any intention of returning the hard drive to our hosting company anytime soon. I suppose we shared server space with some punk who threatened the President or something, and now anyone on that server has to suffer the consequences. Frankly, the entire debacle is pretty heart-wrenching for us and, thus far, completely out of our control. We have no idea when, or if, the disk drives will be returned.
In the meantime, we've decided to copy all of our old reviews from their Google caches (thank God for Google), and do our best to rebuild the entire site from scratch, bottom up (which, for me, means relearning a lot of things on Movable Type). So, for the next few days, the place is gonna look like Oprah's couch after Tom Cruise has had his way with it. We'll do our best to get the most recent reviews up in as timely a manner as possible, and then we will start adding the archives. I'm not sure what that will mean for this weekend's reviews yet, unfortunately, but I'm not resting until I get this place back into a respectable place to visit.
Anyway, thanks for your patience … thanks for dropping by … and we do hope you'll return after we get our shit together. In the meantime, I suppose we can all thank either the Bush Administration or the dumbass terrorists threatening our government, depending on your politics.

First the Giveaway. Because I love giveaways. The Rusted Chain contacted me and is offering TWO of my precious readers a $50 gift card to their shop!!! If you have never shopped The Rusted Chain, you must head over there and look at all of their goodies. Their Fall line is out and everything is just lovely! I snatched a few of their photos so I could show you a sampling of what they create over there.
37th birthday. Can I just say... how much I love my birthday? I really do. I admit it. Maybe that means I'm more of a narcissist than most people (gosh I hope not!). I like to think it's because my birthday have always been good days.
I love when a friend knows me... really knows me, and offers a gift that is absolutely perfect like free babysitting so my man and I could go out on a rare date night the night before my special day. What a thoughtful gift- so perfect for my heart! My BFF Alli (Auntie Allison to my hoodlums) had been sneaking around with my man, planning ahead for this special gift. And she also bought me some of the most darling measuring cups you've ever seen, which I'll be showing soon. I can't tell you how special that felt. I was planned ahead for!

For more than a decade, American military involvement in the Middle East and Africa has been almost entirely guided by the whims of the executive branch. That's not how it's supposed to work.
The Constitution unambiguously grants Congress the responsibility to declare war.
In 2001, following the Sept. 11 attacks, Congress approved a 60-word "Authorization for Use of Military Force" permitting the president to go after those who "planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons ..."
Over the 16-plus years since, the Bush, Obama and now Trump administrations have stretched the limits of that AUMF and a subsequent AUMF passed in 2002 with respect to military action in Iraq.
The 2001 AUMF, for instance, has been invoked to justify military operations in 18 countries, including against organizations which didn't even exist in 2001.
Now, the 2001 AUMF is being stretched further by the Trump administration to justify continued American military actions and nation-building efforts in Syria and Iraq.
Last December, Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Virginia, sought clarification from Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Secretary of Defense James Mattis regarding the American mission in Syria following reports that there are 2,000 American troops there.
In response, letters dated Jan. 29 from David Trachtenberg, Deputy Under Secretary of Defense, and Feb.
Kaine rightly denounced this rationale as contrary to what the founders had in mind, and called on the president to seek congressional permission for continued military actions. Congressmen Justin Amash, R-Michigan, and Barbara Lee, D-California, have echoed these calls with demands for repealing the 2001 AUMF and writing a new one with clear limits.
Congress cannot continue to stand by as unauthorized, perpetual wars persist. Repealing the 2001 AUMF is a needed step towards reasserting congressional authority over war-making.

The sun roof open and the suns rays hitting the back of my neck. The windows rolled down and the wind whipping my hair. Driving in a moment like that makes me feel like I should ditch it all and go on some sort of epic road trip. The kind where adventures find you and you'll be sleeping in your car at least once. The kind where camp fires will be had, jokes will be made, and someone is gonna pull out a guitar.
You know, the kind we all want to have.

Today marked the first day of training camp for the Milwaukee Admirals. Practice at the MSOE Kern Center went on for a little over an hour and a half. And it was fantastic getting a glimpse of the new and returning talent.
The roster revealed yesterday was all there minus one name, Marek Mazanec. The Czech goaltender was back home to be there for the birth of his first child. The Admirals received help in the form of Dov Grumet-Morris to fill the void in net at practice today. Mazanec is expected to rejoin the Admirals this weekend. The plan initially was to have him start Saturday night's exhibition game on the road against the Chicago Wolves but, due to fatigue or jet lag, there is a question mark as to whether or not that holds true. It seems very likely that Brandon Whitney gets the nod for Friday night's game against the Rockford IceHogs.
As far as line combinations go I expect things to change up here and there as training camp marches on. I'm not entirely expecting the lines I saw today in practice be what we see on opening night. That said, here is how the forwards rolled out today.
Adam Payerl – Max Reinhart – Kevin Fiala
Pontus Åberg – Vladislav Kamenev – Miikka Salomäki
Max Görtz – Félix Girard – Joe Pendenza
Eric Robinson – Frédérick Gaudreau – Jaynen Rissling
If any line catches my eye it'd be that second line. I'd love for that pairing to stick because the skill level of all three would be a joy to watch in a game situation. Another note worth mentioning. It seems the Admirals will be committed to Rissling as a winger rather than as a defenseman. Hey, that move worked out for Mike Liambas – and Rissling is a bit bigger of a bulldozer than Liambas.
What about the defense you say? Well, all were accounted for but there was never really any pairings to speak of. You get that a lot with Admirals practices but even more so when there are as many defensemen in a training camp like this right now. Things are static and it's more down to individual looks and performance than forming a tandem. For what it's worth, today was my first serious look at Kristian Näkyvä and I really loved what I saw from him. He can skate really well and has a nasty shot. If the goal is to emulate the parent club then that means having defensemen that are capable of stepping up and helping out on the rush. Näkyvä might possess that ability better than any current Admirals defenseman.
After practice came to a close I had the chance to speak with head coach Dean Evason. I also spoke with Fiala and Salomäki. While the audio clips by Fiala might come off as short one-word answers I wouldn't take that as some sort of a slight from him to the media. My secondary language when I was his age was limited to asking where the library was so I'm used to European players such as him keeping things brief or to the point. Evason's dialogue on him was far more telling than anything when it comes to Fiala's situation of starting his season in the AHL. And that's good enough for me. Here's what everyone had to say after today's opening practice in Milwaukee.
Dean Evason discusses Fiala starting his season in Milwaukee:
Evason describes Fiala's attitude on the situation:
Evason on forgetting about last season and moving forward:
Evason talks about the organization-wide competition for spots:
Evason describes Juuse Saros:
Kevin Fiala's initial reaction to the news he was cut from Nashville's camp:
Fiala on what he was told to improve:
Fiala on the Filip Forsberg comparison:
Miikka Salomäki on rehabbing this summer and returning to the ice:
Salomäki talks about last season:
Salomäki on not being the lone Finn in Milwaukee this season:
Salomäki's thoughts on fellow Finns Näkyvä, Saros, and Vainonen:
Salomäki talks about adopting Kamenev as an honorary Finn:
Dish out the 'Secondary Assist' to Dave Boehler who you heard asking questions to Fiala (Hashtag: Old Man Boehler Has A Flip Phone). For those who I was able to see and talk with at today's practice: pleasure seeing you. I'll be back Thursday for practice and for hopefully more player interviews.
UPDATE: As it turns out. Grumet-Morris and Payerl, as well as Andrew Yogan, Mike Ratchuk, and veteran forward David Moss, have all been signed by the Admirals to PTO contracts. You can read the full press release by the Milwaukee Admirals right here.

need valve
i need a vavle to release pressure from a chamber into a barrel quickly and effeciently, what sould i do , what valve should i use or should i make or buy.
Try a moded sprinkler valve if u want a small bore launcher,but if u want to release more air and have more flow try ur hand at a piston valve gun.just look around on this site you will find out how to make them both.
How many cannons have you made? Because if this is your first, I would suggest the modded sprinkler valve and waiting a bit before you make a piston cannon.
Shrimphead, why?
The only skills you'll learn from your excursion with the modded sprinkler that'll be relevent to the construction of a diaphram/piston valve will be solvent welding and tapping... neither of which are terribly difficult.
And it's not really that hard to make one's own diaphram valve (can't speak for piston valves)... My very first cannon used one.
build whatever you are comfortable with

Stop Santa Fe's so-called "high" capacity magazine limitation
This petition made change with 455 supporters!
Santa Fe, NM. Councilors Patti Bushee, Ron Trujillo and Mayor David Coss have proposed an ordinance to ban the future possession, sale or transfer of any ammunition feeding device that accepts, or can be readily converted to accept, more than ten (10) rounds. However, this measure can't have a positive impact in our community and violates state law. A bill with similar goals recently failed in the US Senate.
This bill is preempted by the state of New Mexico and therefore is unconstitutional. New Mexico has state preemption of firearms laws, so local governments may not restrict the possession or use of firearms. In 1986, Article 2, Section 6 of the state constitution was amended to say, "No law shall abridge the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms for security and defense, for lawful hunting and recreational use and for other lawful purposes, but nothing herein shall be held to permit the carrying of concealed weapons. No municipality or county shall regulate, in any way, an incident of the right to keep and bear arms." A magazine is integral to the firearm and is sold with every single firearm that uses one. THEREFORE THIS BILL IS ILLEGAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
Ordinance 2013-27, however well-intentioned, is political posturing on the parts of Bushee, Trujillo and Coss. It's an empty gesture so they, and we, can pat ourselves on the back and think "at least we did something", without regard for effectiveness or unintended consequences. Whether you are for gun ownership or not, it is one of your rights under the federal and state Constitution. This is surely not a municipal issue and doesn't belong in our City Council!
This bill has already wasted tax payers money and will continue to draw endless state and city resources and hinder local businesses. Our tax funded councilors, law enforcement officers and lawyers will spend countless hours enforcing and or fighting this bill. Due to the unconstitutional nature of this bill it will be tied up in legal battles indefinitely.
It's tempting to think that a ban on specific features or equipment will save lives. Unfortunately, the issue is not that simple. The presumed public safety benefits of the ordinance are dubious at best, yet its impact on responsible gun owners in our community will be immediate and pervasive.
Firearms are regularly used in defensive situations by law-abiding persons and it is this group that will be impacted most directly by this ordinance. A local restriction on magazine size will not stop anyone from committing a violent act. The proposed ordinance is no more than a well-intentioned but hollow attempt to fix a much larger social problem. A real solution to the problem of violence would have to be national in scope and based on solid public policy supported by research.
Please stand up to this questionable ordinance, sign this petition and OPPOSE Bill No. 2013-27
Please show up to the City Council meeting on June 26th at City Hall, 200 Lincoln Ave (Downtown Santa Fe). For updates on the meeting day and time please visit http://santafeoutdoorsman.com
Here are some resources with facts on guns and gun control, history and our civil rights. Education is the answer!

This is a brag, but it's also a lesson in sometimes breaking the rules. And about how my mother's creed that "You never know if you can do something unless you try," is true. And then it's about you.
My husband sent me a little news story in the local paper about a search by our city's library and its Arts and Culture Commission. I let it sit on my desk a tad too long. When I finally saw it, I told him I'd missed the deadline.
He said "So??? By a couple of days!"
Then I started looking at what they needed/wanted for applications. Yeesht. Videos. Trailers. Media kits. And a ton more. So then I started thinking, well…never mind. I mean, it would take days to assemble them all. And, you know, my videos are dated…and on and on. Excuses.
Then I started thinking about the stuff I tell all of YOU! So I just rounded up what I had (well, yeah! the media kit, of course!) and sent it. That's it. No crossed fingers. I mean, it was a lost cause anyway,right? No expectations. No nervous breakdown. Just the essentials.
And, now. Ta da! The brag part. I now hold my community's Diamond Award in Arts and Culture. Persistence works, but so does being there when the universe calls.

Are you still reeling over the loss of your weekly dose of Game of Thrones ever since season 4 wrapped up? Me too. After loads and loads of therapy, I've managed to make it through the last couple days. It hasn't been easy. Alcohol has helped. As well as the Internet, which is chock-full of awesome Game of Thrones stuff. Case in point: Wil Wheaton introduced a Game of Thrones theme Brady Bunch-style, and it's pretty amazing. And helpful!
There are so many families and characters to keep track of, it only makes sense to compare them to yet another famous blended family, though one with far less incest involved. In case you know nothing (Jon Snow) of Game of Thrones, there are some pretty massive spoilers in the clip. Beware! Here is your warning!
Otherwise, it's kind of great. No better way to cure your Game of Thrones withdrawal at this point (and remember allllll the characters we've lost!).
Here it is!
Hopefully the first thing you didn't think about while watching the clip was this:
Anyway, how cute was that blonde Tyrion Lannister during the title sequence? And Joffrey bouncing along to the beat, man, I kind of miss his smarmy face, don't you? It's hilarious how they added a direwolf and White Walker in that final shot as well. OMG there are just so many characters.
Not only that, but it's also a sad reminder of how many of them have died throughout this insane series. Everyone from Tywin Lannister to Eddard Stark to Khal Drogo to Lady to Pyp to Ygritte ... we really could just go on, and on, and on, and on.
Well, I realize this isn't enough to get you through the rest of 2014 and beyond without this incredible show in your life. I'll leave you with this. Farewell, fellow nerds.
Do you have a favorite Game of Thrones character?

I just finished this and shipped it off to one of my galleries. The botanical portion is made from BronzClay (Metal Adventures brand), and then riveted to sawn nickel silver and copper which has been textured.
The botanical image was made by carving into a soft block material. This is yet another way to use one's own images to make jewelry.
One of my followers (wow, doesn't that sound awesome?!) suggested I do a post on two-part silicone mold making. I will write that as soon as I can, as well as posting about the carving method used above.
